Think Tecawaii. Civil engagement lives here. Aloha. Welcome to Think Tecawaii and my show today, Making Leadership Work. With my special guest, Kim Koko Iwamoto. Welcome, Kim. Thank you, Carol. Kim Koko is running for Lieutenant Governor in a crowded race this year. She and I served on the State Board of Education just before it changed from an elected board to an appointed board. That's right. I did. So I wanted to ask you, so first of all, tell us, Kim, why are you running for Lieutenant Governor? Well, if I can quote one of my political inspirations, Nina Turner, not any blue will do. I think within the Democratic Party, especially in Hawaii, although they are more socially liberal, there's a lot of fiscal conservatism that actually makes our state look more Republican in terms of the way we don't adequately fund public education, our mental health services, the fact that we have the homeless crisis at a level that's beyond any other state in the nation, our lack of affordable housing. All of these issues are issues that Republicans don't care about. And that's concerning to me as a Democrat and as a progressive Democrat who cares about Hawaii's people. Okay, so I know you identify yourself both as, of course, a lawyer, you're trained as a lawyer, and environmentalist. So you mentioned environmental issues. So exactly how do you propose to, as Lieutenant Governor, change our current situation in our mental health? First of all, we have to look at the way the Lieutenant Governor's office has been underutilized. It is the same exact footprint as the Governor's office. It's the same size, it's just on the ever wing of the Capitol. And it has a large staff, and yet we see very little coming out of that office. And it's no offense to any of the previous Lieutenant, the current or the previous Lieutenant Governors. But I do think what we see oftentimes are Lieutenant Governors are silent understudies to the Governor. They just see themselves waiting their turn, perhaps waiting for something to happen to the Governor, God forbid. But there seems to be a lack of initiative. Again, when we hear about the huge disparity of economic power in Hawaii, everyday families, another family stepping one step closer to homelessness, it's too, we have too much of an urgent situation for anybody to just be sitting around waiting to be assigned a task by the Governor. I think that office could become the people's office, and we have a great opportunity to bring the people who've been working on the front lines of issues like homelessness, the environment, economic justice, bring them, make that be their office, they can convene meetings, they invite in key legislators and executive administrative people, and everyone get on the same page and do substantive change in a timely fashion. Right now, the current model, a lot of the activists go door knocking at the legislature, and oftentimes legislators go, oh, well, that's too much, that's not practical, we have to be pragmatic about that. And the nickel and diamond issue to death.  And so we're changing the whole dynamic of what we could see that office being. But that's a wonderful point, except that statutorily or constitutional authority of the Lieutenant Governor is limited. Actually, Carol, so I know you're an attorney, and I'm sure we've read the Constitution and what's outlined in the statute. And actually, there is nothing prohibiting the Lieutenant Governor from taking a more active role. The Lieutenant Governor is elected by the people and therefore accountable to the people. There's really nothing stopping a Lieutenant Governor from convening meetings. And I do that myself as an individual community organizer. I convene people who are working on prison reform issues, and they meet in my home, and they hold meetings and everyone strategizes about how we're going to proceed. And I partner with different organizations. And we get on the same page. We're doing it now. People are doing it now. But what happens is that the Capitol, even the design of the Capitol, when you look at it, and if you ever visit the Capitol, it's built like a fortress. It's built in a way to keep the people away from the decision makers. Think about that. It's sometimes it's hard to find, how do you get upstairs, right? Everything's hidden. Like the entryways are hidden. The stairs are hidden. Everything's hidden. But I think we can totally change that if the people are on the fifth floor, which is where the Lieutenant Governor's office is, I think they'll definitely be more integrated access to solving our problems collectively. So I disagree that there is any kind of statutory or constitutional limitation on what the governor can do as a convener, as a mobilizer, as an advocate for the people. I see. And the Lieutenant Governor. Yes, Lieutenant Governor. Okay. So assuming that we get through the fortress and we get upstairs to the fifth floor. That's right. So then once you've convened these wonderful organizations and come up with maybe an action plan, how will you implement any decision makers? And that's for, once again, the people who are working on the front lines of a particular situation. I'm not going to be the kind of candidate that says I have the answers because I have not been working for decades as many of my friends and colleagues have on issues. They've been living, they've been fighting the fight every day. And I would never want to disrespect their degree of knowledge about the issue, nor their understanding of what kind of solutions we need. So I would defer, I would just try to create a stronger platform. Corporations are spending millions of dollars to make sure their voices are elevated at the Capitol. I just want to make sure that the people's voice is heard, right? Their concerns, their solutions, the people, it's their, it's their capital. Okay. Yes. And yes. And if I may share something actually about the corporatocracy that we kind of exist in, I was at a meeting at the Hawaii Community Venture, the Hawaii Venture Capitalist Association, and one of the government spokesperson was there, and they actually said that the corporate tax rate in Hawaii is one of the lowest in the nation. So think about that. The corporate tax rate in Hawaii is one of the lowest. They are under investing from our revenue tax revenue position. They're under investing, yet they have one of the largest voices. That's a problem. So is that something that you would support is raising the corporate taxes? Or taking away, you know, it's not even about just raising the corporate tax rate. It's about getting rid of all of the tax credits they get. You know, like for instance, we give real estate investment tax credits for the person who builds an air conditioned storage facility on the same footprint that we used to have affordable housing. We're actually saying here, we are rewarding them for building air conditioned storage facilities in the urban core. Think about that. Think about driving around Honolulu. Oh, look, here's another air conditioned storage facility. Know that that investor got tax credits from Hawaii. Instead of using that for affordable housing, I'm so excited to bring all these issues to you. And so then as Lieutenant Governor, how could you change that? Well, I think making sure everyone's on the same page, when one of the things that really frustrates me as a voter, as an active participant in our democracy, is when I see other elected officials, they know the shenanigans that's going on at the legislature, but everyone's silent. No one wants to rock the boat. No one wants out somebody's conflict of interest. You know, and that to me, we have a very polite culture. And unfortunately, that politeness has put us on a trajectory that isn't a good one. We're not going to survive if we stay on the current path, if we remain the status quo. I mean, think about it, homelessness, affordable housing, the cost of living, the rate of pay, everything is so out of whack here. And I'm sorry. And, you know, we think better is what I'm saying. And we need to start that healing process so that we can be strong and vibrant by actually checking people, checking elected officials. You're getting a lot of money from Ansantha. You're getting a lot of money from Sinjenta and Dow and all these multinational agrochemical corporations. And you're blocking now after you're getting all that money. You're saying go ahead and spray next to our schools. So are you saying then that your role as lieutenant governor, in addition to convening and bringing in people from various interests, the public to your office and articulating issues and maybe coming up with an action plan, the step of actually implementing any plan would be to somehow persuade, whether it's corporate or individual who have some kind of an obligation or loyalty to some particular interest. But I'm not sure exactly how you as lieutenant governor have that. Yes. Well, first of all, I think it's really important that the people know that somebody is speaking on their behalf. I mean, truly that I'm not or whoever is in that position is not beholden to any special interest group, not beholden to anybody but the people who elected her into that position. That needs to be affirmed constantly by speaking the truth, by speaking the truth to the power, to the establishment.  Like I said earlier in quoting an intern, not any blue will do. We are a very blue state, but that's, that does nothing for us if we don't hold the Democrats to the Democratic Party platform, which is very progressive. When you think about the hard work that the people who are in the party, in the field, in the community level, they go through all of, they develop resolutions, they create the party platform, they spend a lot of time debating issues, and they adopt a progressive platform. And then when people who run for office claim that they're Democrats, they're not held accountable to the party platform, and that needs to change. And then people get frustrated, I'm frustrated. So I think that's the start. So it's just a start to clearing the field and calling truth out, and then working and building from there. Okay, so I assume when you decide to run for lieutenant governor, you analyze whether you could run for legislature or even governor's position. For me, I just said, what is the most under utilized office? Where can I have the greatest impact given what's already, what's currently available in the marketplace? Who can turn it? Right now, I'm running against other candidates who are part of the status quo, who've invested heavily, heavily into keeping Hawaii on the path that it's on right now. Are they going to challenge the state to become better? Do they even have that capacity? Do they have the courage to do that? I questioned that, but I do know who I am, and I do know the fights I've been fighting all my life, and I know that I'm willing to fight for the people of Hawaii. Well, let's talk about some of your fights, because I'm sure you're known as a community activist. And so tell us a little bit more about... Thank you for asking that. And this is how we met Carol on the Board of Education. In 2008, when I was elected. And I was elected in 2006. And I ran for the Board of Education, because I was foster parenting at that time, actually, from 2004 to 2006. And I was a foster parent to teenagers. Teenagers who've been homeless, teenagers who've... Actually, I pulled some teenagers out of the youth correctional facility, because their parents wouldn't sign them out. So they were left in youth prison to just rot away. It was really bad. So I worked... I got licensed as a therapeutic foster parent, and I would take these kids into my home, open my heart and my home to them. And in my role as their parent, I was also their education advocate, making sure that they were getting the resources and the access to public education that they deserved. So in working with them, and many of them were being bullied and harassed at school. Some of them were gay, some of them were transgender. And they said to me, they were being bullied and harassed, and we tried to make complaints to the principal, but they were falling on deaf ears. So they asked me, would you please come with us and testify at the Board of Education? So of course, I'm going to... That's my role as your parent to advocate on your behalf for your safety and your access to education. So I did that. I testified about the state of the situation for them and others like them. And literally, the Board of Education stared back very blankly. There was no acknowledgement. Once again, this is why it's important that the voice at the table is affirming what the people are saying. So there was no indication, no acknowledgement that that was not okay, that the kids deserved better. So I realized that they would be accountable or they had a plan of action to make it to change it from the current path it was on. So I realized at the moment, you know what, these kids, my kids, kids of Hawaii, they need to advocate at the table on the Board of Education. So I decided to run in 2006. And with the help of a lot of family, friends, kids, a lot of young people, we took to the streets and sign waived and put up signs. And 16 people were in that race that year. And we were able to come to the top three, which is what we needed. And we were able, once we did get on the Board of Education, we were able to implement a lot of the changes around bullying and harassment that the kids wanted. And you were part of that change to then when you came on too. Wow. Well, on that interesting note, we're going to take a short break. We'll be right back. So we're with our guest, Kim Koko Iwamoto, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. We'll be right back. I'm Ethan Allen, host of Likeable Science on Think Tech Hawaii. Every Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., I hope you'll join me for Likeable Science. We'll dig into science, dig into the meat of science, dig into the joy and delight of science. We'll discover why science is indeed fun, why science is interesting, why people should care about science and care about the research that's being done out there. It's all great. It's all entertaining. It's all educational. So I hope to join me for Likeable Science. Aloha. I'm Kili Ikeena, and I'm here every other week on Mondays at 2 o'clock p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii's Hawaii Together. In Hawaii Together, we talk with some of the most fascinating people in the islands about working together, working together for a better economy, government, and society. So I invite you into our conversation every other Monday at 2 p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network. Join us for Hawaii Together. I'm Kili Ikeena. Aloha. Welcome back. This is Carol Manly on Think Tech Hawaii's making leadership work with my special guest, Kim Kokoiwamoto, a lawyer and environmentalist who is currently running for Lieutenant Governor for the State of Hawaii. Welcome back. Thank you for having me. So among I know your many community activities is the current one that we're all interested in is, of course, the women's movement, the women's march. I think we have one image that we can show to our viewers. So let's describe this picture for our viewers. The way I like to, my campaign, I like to have a win-win situation. So in this picture, my supporters and volunteers on my campaign, instead of just marching in the ML, well, this is actually from the MLK parade at Magicka Island. That's the beginning. So, you know, this is from the recent MLK parade. And so what we do is we like to fuel the resistance. That's our model instead of, because we're in all of this together. Right. So it shows you pulling a cart full of fruit. Healthy, healthy breakfast items because everyone runs out of the house to get to the parade on time. And they don't adequately feel for the march all the way to Kapilani Park. But we did the same thing at the women's march, too. And we called it refueling the resistance. And again, it's that win-win opportunity where we get to engage with other women, other activists, other allies, and also share food and share, I mean, we're here to support each other. And that's what, for me, that's what that outreach was about. It's about saying what you're doing is important. I'm here. I got your back. Have a banana. So you can continue marching. So you can continue fighting and we can continue fighting together. And that's what we need to do on a lot of issues. If we attach, I mean, if we, you know, pursue issues around sexual harassment that way, domestic violence, if we do it as a unified front, we're going to get so much more. And the same issue around homelessness. We can do that so much. That's your big issue for the state. That is, I think, the number one issue. And I have to share that when my first job as an attorney, coming back to Hawaii, was I was the, I did clinics, legal clinics, free legal clinics and homeless shelters. That was my responsibility to make sure that the legal issues that may have put a person into homelessness, whether it was a financial situation that they couldn't declare bankruptcy and then their wages were being garnished and suddenly they can't afford to pay their rent and they find themselves on the street. We had bankruptcy clinics at that time. The bankruptcy laws were a little different in 2001. Of course, the corporations, the financial corporations lobbied and made it much more difficult for people to declare bankruptcy and to get away from creditors. And that's one of the reasons why we see more homeless people today, because if you can't escape the creditors, you then, they garnish your wages, you cannot pay your landlord. So that's part of the cycle. And what would you do now as lieutenant governor then to help them? Well, I think, you know, we, so there are federal bankruptcy laws, but we can also have our own statutes addressing some of these issues and we do need to change them. Are there any right now in the legislature that are pending or been introduced?  And I think that kind of critical analysis is really important. And what sets me apart? You know, as a, so I do know about landlord tenant life. So when I mentioned earlier about what happens to families, I have an apartment building. So I'm a small business owner as well as an attorney environmentalist. I'm a small business owner. I have an apartment building near Alamoana shopping center. It's in the urban core. I purchased it when I was foster parenting because I wanted to have more flexibility. So I thought, you know, I'm going to fix this building up. You know, I was literally, we tore down walls. It was kind of a slum. We pulled down ceilings and we put new drywall and I was holding the drywall up there. So I got really involved in fixing it up. Within the first year of owning that building, a realtor came by and said, you know, I can, I have somebody who wants to buy your building for 100% return your investment. And this is around in 2004. Like, oh my God. I'm like, I never thought this was possible. And it was tempting. But I said, you know what? How are my tenants going to afford double the rent so that this new owner can afford double their mortgage? And I thought about it and said, you know what? I can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. Affordable housing in the urban core. We need more of that. I'm not going to sell out and create a situation where these local families couldn't afford to stay there any longer. So I kept it.  And not only does it have financial returns, right? And they're, you know, they're comfortable, but excellent. They also have social impact returns. I mentioned this earlier, win-win. I don't like to sell my self-short or the state short. We can have multiple wins. So how, again, does this translate to the Lieutenant Governor's office to be able to? Well, you know, having a sense of understanding business, having an understanding of the different pressures, the different incentives that create the problem. So if everyone's speculating on real estate, just not even as somebody's home, but as something you buy and trade, you buy and sell, buy and sell. And you're just getting these commissions and you're flipping buildings. You're totally not paying attention to the human lives being impacted. Don't you think we need more people in government who are aware of the ramifications of just doing business in Hawaii? But one of the stories I wanted to share with you about my building where more than 50% of the units are housing previously homeless families, as well as families who would be homeless, but for the Section 8 voucher they receive. One of the families was before moving into my building, was living in a van with his three kids for three years. He was working at the same job for seven years. When he came and he saw one victim, that's all I had at the time. And he says, I'll take it because I said, but it's not big enough for your family. He's like, it's way bigger than my van. Once he was able to have stabilized housing, he got a promotion. He got three raises. Within a year, he was no longer eligible for that subsidy. Amazing. That's what we want to see. And I'm still able to pay for my mortgage. You know what I'm saying? We can do this. We can do this Hawaii. We can. We just need to do it together. You know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. And I think it's important to show people that you're willing to walk the talk. Well, we've really covered them. Thank you. We've covered education. We've covered homelessness. We've covered a little bit about the environment. Do you want to talk something about some of your environmental issues?  There's so many environmental activists out there who are inspiring. They are taking on their city councils, taking on the corporations. But what's happening is our state legislature, because we're so Oahu-centric at the capital, their voices on the neighbor islands often go silenced. Maui, for instance, has created satellite offices and they are able to take remote testimony. They are able to engage in the political process remotely because, you know, there's a lot of rural areas. We can do that for our neighbor islands. We can set up remote satellite offices. People can tele-testify at the legislature. Right now, a bill gets scheduled on the agenda. You have 48 hours to go buy a ticket, find a babysitter. You might have to find a place to stay, run a car. That's so cost prohibitive for a lot of people on the neighbor islands to come. Can't we just set up a mechanism with technology today to give them a voice? I know I, when I'm sitting in the hearing rooms at the capital, I would love to hear what the neighbor island activists are doing and what their perspective. So many of the issues at the legislature, well, many of them specifically only affect some of the neighbor islands, yet they have no voice. But you know who does have a voice? Corporate lobbyists. They have a very loud voice. The corporate lobbyists who want to take the water, the water access, who want to take the land from the people on the, on the neighbor islands, they have a voice at the legislature. They hire lobbyists, they spend millions of dollars, right? They are heard from often, loud and clear. So we have to shift this dynamic again. And you know, it's about making sure the people are heard. And it feels like the whole system is set up to not hear them and not value their contributions to our state as a whole. Okay. Well, let me backtrack a little bit on what the lieutenant governor's office used to do. They used to be in charge of elections and that's been removed from their authority, from its authority. Do you think that that's something that should be re-established? Yes. I think, again, there's so much more. What, actually, yes, I'm sorry. I meant yes, that's something that we can look into. I think the reason why it was removed from that office, because it's an elected office. So kind of a little bit, you know, weird to have an elected official in charge of the office of elections. So what do you think about right now the primary, the lieutenant governor, is separately voted on. And then the governor, so it's kind of like a blind marriage when it comes to the general election, right?  No, you know what? I don't think of it that way. I think of it as we both serve, and we would both serve in very important roles. Obviously, the governor has, is the lead of the state, right? There's no question about that. But I think it's important when you're thinking about a lieutenant governor candidate, do you want somebody who's going to just always been locked step, who's going to keep all the secrets of the governor? You know, and I say that because there's an opportunity to be a voice of courage within the inner offices of the governor's office. To not be afraid to tell the emperor, excuse me, emperor, you have no clothes on. Excuse me, emperor. You're deviating away from your own campaign promises. You're deviating away from the Democratic Party platform. I want to tell you this very gently, politely, and inside, because if you continue on that path, I would need to, I cannot remain silent and complicit. Okay. Well, we just have a few more seconds left. First, I'd like to show one last slide, and then you can look in the camera for, and what are we looking at on this slide? I am so honored to, when I started my campaign, the first call I made was to retire judge Dan Foley. And, you know, he's been an amazing, amazing steward, protector, salt work protector of our liberties. He was with the ACLU previously. He was the lead litigator on the same sixth marriage case. He takes on the difficult fights. He has the courage and so I approached him and he said he would love to be my chair. What an honor. Do you have a parting message to our audience? Yes. The message is to please register and vote and make sure your voice is heard. And I'm going to partner with you at the, from the Lieutenant Governor's office and make sure it's your office. Thank you. And on that note, maybe we can show one last slide that we have with Maya. Yes. Notoro Ng. She reached out to my campaign after she heard my launch speech. Somebody did a Facebook live of that speech and she happened to see it. And then she reached out and said, I want to support your campaign. And on that note, I'm going to say thank you so much, Kim Koko. Thank you so much. Thank you. We wish you the best. I appreciate it. And again, my guest has been Kim Koko Iwamoto, who is running for Lieutenant Governor from the state of Hawaii. This is Carol Monly, Think Tech, Hawaii, and we'll see you next time. Aloha.

No he received the papers care of general delivery You could have a surveillance set up at the post office there And pick him up I don't think that would work in Fort Wayne Why not? Well beginning tomorrow his address will be Lansing, Michigan He'd be there for a week I see Whatever he's doing he's really been on the move He spent exactly one week in a whole succession of cities Did you get a list of these places? Yes Well that'll be a help in determining what sort of work he's doing Now I know But I don't think I'll have to dig into that I have an idea they'll pick up Mr. Corey At the general delivery window in Lansing Oh hiya Marty come on in What's the big kid? I got a hundred more miles to travel on this train So I settled down here in this compartment For a nice evening of solitaire and what happened I win the very first game Is that a box of candy there?

Yes That's a lot of potatoes Pop Where you got it stashed? I haven't got it Huh?

Parkinson, president of the Equitable Society Says group insurance is the most inspiring Life insurance development of our time If your company does not have group insurance Or if your company's group program is incomplete Your management can get in touch With the nearest Equitable Life Assurance Society office That's E-Q-U-I-T-A-B-L-E The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States And now back to the FBI file The honest embezzler The law as we have molded it in 170 years Is not an impersonal harsh set of rules Written by vindictive men It has compassion And the quality of its mercy is available to all Running away is the foolhardy course For as tonight's case from the files of your FBI proves The cloak of justice affords more warmth Even to the criminal Tonight's file continues at the Cleveland field office The day after the brutal slaying of the elderly bank embezzler On the carnival train FBI Special Agent Jim Taylor is just sitting down at his desk when Jim, I've been looking for you What about Ralph? He resident an agent up at Lansing phone while you were out He did as you asked him He set up a surveillance at the general delivery window at the post office But so far no results The local police are cooperating with him They checked hotels, rooming houses, tourist camps But no one of Corey's description has turned up Well, I think I have a good lead On where to find Corey? Yes Now, as you know, he stayed in 20 cities for exactly one week at a time Yes Well, I did some research on what possible type of work Would take him to each of those places And what'd you come up with? A traveling carnival So? Their playing dates coincided with each place That Kerry had had his newspaper sent That should cinch at that I would think so, yes Are you going up to Lansing? No, I'm sure the resident agent there can handle it I'll get him on the phone, give him the name of the carnival Then it should be just a matter of going out there And picking up Mr. Corey To catch this performance for the biggest show in the midway See the sensational Princess Lily to a breathtaking fire dance See the lovely Dolores, the sultan's favorite It's girls, girls, girls So hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry That does it, folks The show is starting Next performance in exactly half an hour Marty Marty Oh, hi, Lily Why aren't you backstage? I'm not on for five minutes yet Come here, I want to talk to you Okay, sweetheart It's on your mind, kid Do you hear about Pops? Yeah, I took a potter, huh? Marty, what happened to him? How should I know? Did you scare him away?  Of course I probably wanted to move on, it's all Oh, still awful, funny Look, kid, you're on a couple of minutes You better get backstage Any word from Lansing, Jim? Yes, Ralph, and it isn't good What happened? Well, our resident agent went out to the grounds He talked to the owner Yes He was told a man answering to Corey's description Had worked with the show He'd been a ticket-ticker at one of the attractions But he suddenly disappeared That sounds pretty convenient Yes, I know However, some of the other employees Are on the show, verify the story You think they could be covering for him? That's possible Yes What circumstances did he disappear? Well, he took the special train With the rest of the troupe from Fort Wayne Seems that he slept in the baggage car But when the show arrived in Lansing, he was gone Now, of course, he could have gotten off Anyplace along the route What stops did the train make? Well, that's being checked now Well, Jim, where do you go from here? Well, I've just been figuring that I think I may have the answer What is it? Corey was a ticket-ticker for one of the shows So his job must be open now Yes I'm going to see if I can get permission From the boss to go up to Lansing And apply for his position And do some inside work? Right Our resident agent can't do that They already know him up there now Have you ever been around a carnival, Jim? Well, when I was in college I worked for a circus during summer vacation Chappie's orders? Bean adventure But that should be background enough For me to find out all I want to know Special Agent Hunter Hello Ralph, this is Taylor Hello there, Jim You're up in Lansing? Yep, and I got the job I'm now a ticket-ticker for a little attraction That features none other than Prince Jim, I was just going to try to contact you What for, Ralph? You can stop looking for Mr. Corey What do you mean? His body was found beside the railroad tracks About 60 miles outside of Fort Wayne I'm not so sure that it was Why not? From the preliminary information that we've received There's a suspicion that Corey might have been murdered Really? Yes From the condition of Corey's body And the position in which he was found The medical examiners say it's very possible Corey was dead before he left the train Ralph, did you have any money on him? Only a dollar and 20 cents in change Right And if Corey was robbed That would put the case on the FBI jurisdiction Well, as long as I'm on the grounds I'll stay on, see what I can dig up Right, where do you think you'll start? Well, his best friend with this show Was a woman called Princess Lily I think I'll start by talking to her Mr. Spenton? Yeah? May I come in? Oh, you, yeah, come on in I understand this goes with my job What's that? Bringing you coffee Oh, thanks Old Pop used to do this, didn't he? That's right That's too bad about him, isn't it? You mean he's leaving the show? No About his body being found What are you talking about? Oh, haven't you heard? No One of the boys out front just told me He was found beside the railroad tracks About 60 miles outside of Fort Wayne Oh, no Yeah According to the story I heard They seemed to think he was murdered Murdered? Yes The FBI is working on the case right now I knew it What did you say? Nothing Yeah Look, honey, I... Oh, I didn't know you had company Look, uh, you Will you clear out of here? I want to talk to Marty alone Sure We'll get moving, will you, Mac? Okay Glad you got rid of him, honey I wanted to... Marty Yeah? I just heard something about Pop No kidding His body was found by the railroad tracks Out of Fort Wayne His body? That's right Oh, that's tough Poor old guy Save that What do you mean?  You got a telegram about an hour ago It was from your pal in Cleveland How do you know? Because I opened it and read it You had no right to do that So I read it anyway He wanted to know what luck you had With the information he gave That wasn't an entirely different matter Don't give me that You went to Pop on that train, didn't you? You told him what you knew about him You know you're crazy No, no, I know how you operate If Pop was murdered, you're the one that gave it to him Cut out that talk Well, you're not going to get away with it The FBI is on the case And I'm going to go and tell them the whole story Your what?  Let go of her Keep out of this Okay, mister, that's how you want it She doesn't have to go to the FBI, Burns The FBI is here I'm a special agent What? Now, miss, suppose you tell me that story Martin Burns was tried and convicted of murder In the state of Michigan And was sentenced to life imprisonment Stated as simply as possible Tonight's case from the files of your FBI Offers merely another proof that crime does not pay That statement has been repeated by your FBI At every opportunity through every medium At their disposal since the bureau was first founded For some strange reason Strange because Americans are adaptable people The self-evident truth that crime can never be made A profitable career has been ignored Ignored to such an extent That in the first six months of this year There were 28% more murders in this country Than in the first six months of 1945 But as the number of crimes has risen So has the number of convictions Convictions that came about Because of alert police work by local police departments State law enforcement officers And your FBI In just a moment We'll tell you about next week's exciting case From the official files of your FBI Now one last word to business executives Since group insurance was originated By the Equitable Life Assurance Society 35 years ago Thousands of employers have learned That group insurance means satisfied workers Bills loyalty and morale Decreases labor turnover Improves quality and quality of production Get all the facts and figures From an equitable society group insurance expert Whether your employees are entirely uninsured Or have only partial protection Yet in touch with the nearest office Or write direct to the New York Home Office Of the Equitable Life Assurance Society Of the United States Next week we will bring you another colorful story From the files of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation The fixed election The incidents used in tonight's Equitable Life Assurance Society's broadcast Are adapted from the files of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation However, all names used are fictitious And any similarity there are To the names of persons living or dead is accidental Tonight's broadcast was directed by William M.

Happy New Year Navigation Traders. I hope 2018 was great for you and I really look forward to an excellent 2019. Just like I do at the end of each month, I wanna go through our trades for the month of December and in this video, I wanna take a deeper dive and go over all of our trades for the year of 2018. Okay, so let's jump in. In December, we had a total profit for our closed trades of $2,372.25, giving us an average profit per trade of $237.23. We had nine winners, one loser, total trades of 10, giving us a winning percentage in December of 90%. We used strategies of short strangles, iron condors, short call verticals and we did one pre-earnings long straddle. If we jump into the members area for you non-pro members, this is where all your training is included as well, so we don't just give you the trades, we don't just give you the fish, we wanna teach you how to fish as well. So for every strategy that we trade, we have a step-by-step video training course that you can go through and learn exactly how and why we make the trades that we do. In addition to the alerts being sent immediately to you by text message and email, they are also posted right here in your members area. But let's go over the closed trades from December, starting with the first ones that we made. First one being an iron condor in forward slash GC, which is the Gold Futures, booked a profit of $200 on that trade. We did a short strangle in EWZ, booked a profit of 150. In EFA, which is the International Index, we did a short call vertical, booked a profit of $332. In 6E, which is the Euro, we booked a profit on this short strangle of $225. In ZB, which is the bonds, we booked a profit of $281.25. Our one loser this month was a pre-earnings long straddle in Micron Technology, symbol MU, booked a loss of $228 there. And this one was EEM, we did a short strangle. And as you can see, we had to do multiple adjustments, a few rolls, but ended up coming out with a profit of $117. And that just shows you the power of our strategy. If you stay methodical, if you stay consistent and mechanical with your adjustments, you can turn a losing trade into a winner, which is exactly what we did here. Next trade was another short strangle in Forge Slash GC, which is gold, booked a profit of $300 on that trade. In Vidya, we did a short call vertical, booked a profit of $528. And lastly, in Netflix, we did another short call vertical, booking a profit of $467. So those are all the closed trades for December. If we go over to our performance page at navigationtrading.com, Forge Slash Performance, you'll notice that I've added a cumulative running total of our profits. So you can see we started back in June of 2017, and I just give a quick summary of all those closed profits year to date. So we'll update this at the end of each month. If you took a look at the 2018 trade statistics, you can see for the total year, we closed 151 trades, average profit per trade of $263, with an outstanding winning percentage of 91.4%. And as always, if you scroll down, you can see the details of each month, the different symbols, contracts, and strategies that we traded along with the amount of profit that we booked. Now, depending on the strategy or opportunity, you can see we use different number of contracts, typically anywhere from one to five contracts, and we're typically using anywhere from at the minimum $500 of buying power for a trade up to several thousand dollars for each position. So that concludes our recap of December. What I wanna do now is jump back over to the slides, and I wanna give you a breakdown of our profits per strategy throughout the entire year of 2018. So here we go with starting with short strangles. No surprise that this was our best performing strategy. There's a lot of heightened implied volatility across the board. So we had a total profit in short strangles of a little over 23,000, average profit per trade of $347.33, 67 winners, zero losers, 100% winning percentage in short strangles. Now, keep in mind, we still have some short strangles open. So we'll see if those end up closing for winners as well. But for 2018, for all of our closed trades, short strangles at 100%, iron condors, $5,991.25 of profit, average profit of $352.43. We had 16 winners, just one loser, giving us a winning percentage of 94% on our iron condors. Next strategy, butterflies. We only did one butterfly all year, which is kind of surprising when I'm going back and going through these statistics for each strategy. It was interesting that we only did one butterfly that we closed out, made 120 bucks on that trade. Calendar spreads, we only did two calendar spreads, which makes more sense because we are in a period of high implied volatility. We like to do calendars when IV is low. So we had one winner, one loser, and average total profit of minus $256 on our calendar spreads. Next strategy, short put verticals.  On our long put verticals made a little over $1,100, had five winners and zero losers on that strategy.  On our long calls, we actually did one long call and booked a profit of $380 on that strategy. Now getting into the earnings related strategies, we did pre-earnings long straddles. We had 14 of those, nine of those were winners, five losers, total profit a little over $1,500 for pre-earnings long straddles. We did one pre-earnings long strangle, which is simply just widening those strikes, had a total profit of $244 on that one trade. Pre-earnings long calls, we had 14 of these trades, nine of which were winners, five losers with a total profit of a little over $1,100. Earnings short strangles, so these are short strangles that we're holding over the earnings announcement. Total profit $324, we just did two of these, both of those were winners. Earnings iron condor, and we had just one of those for $370. Post earnings short straddle, we did one of those, booked a profit of 27 bucks. Post earnings short strangle, did two of those, both were winners for a total profit of $310. Post earnings iron condor, just had one of those, booked a profit of $156. And post earnings short put verticals, we had eight of those trades, all of which were winners, booking a profit of a little over $1,800. And all strategies combined, total profit $39,682.39, with an average profit of $262.80. We did a total of 151 trades, 138 of which were winners, and just 13 losers, giving us a winning percentage in 2018 of 91.4%. Now, keep in mind, don't feel overwhelmed by all the different strategies if you're not even sure exactly what they are. We provide step-by-step detail so you can learn exactly how to trade each of these strategies. And we have some members that just focus on a couple, and we have some members that do all these different strategies just like us. You can trade our methodology at any level. Like I said, some of our positions take a minimum of $500 up to several thousand, depending on the strategy and the opportunity. And this year, at the beginning of the year, we started in our alerts portfolio with just under $70,000. So we had about $68,000. Now, we're never using all of that money in our positions. We usually use anywhere from 20 to 50% of our buying power for all the positions at any given time. So we have members that start off with just a several thousand dollars, and we have members who have million-dollar accounts that trade many more contracts than what we're showing here. And obviously, you can just multiply your profits by the number of contracts that you're trading. Implied volatility continues to stay high, and I don't see it slowing down in 2019. Right now continues to be the best time to be trading these strategies that we teach. Think about how these types of profits could affect you financially. I was messing around with a very simple calculator. You can go to bankrate.com. This is just a simple savings calculator. Think about this, if you have $50,000 in your account and you make 20% per year for the next 10 years, that's $309,000. And what if you made 30% and run the calculation again? Now we're talking about $689,000 in your account after 10 years. If you make 40%, now we're talking about $1.4 million so you can see how these high returns can really accumulate and get you to a large account balance extremely quickly. And that's talking about just starting with that, not making any monthly deposits. I mean, what if you had that started with that and we're doing $1,000 a month, contributing into the account with those returns? I mean, look how quickly that can snowball. Compound interest is one of the most powerful things that we have at our disposal if you know how to utilize it. If you're ready to join our community, just go to any page on our site, navigationtrading.com. In the upper right-hand corner, there's an orange button, pro membership trial. You can try our alerts and get 100% access to the training for two weeks for just a dollar. And then you can continue after that if you think it makes sense for you. There is no better business that I'm aware of that you can get this type of return on investment without employees, without equipment, without anything except your personal computer and your knowledge. This is a lifetime skill that you can pass on from generation to generation. We are so excited to have you as part of our community. Can't wait to watch you all grow as traders. 2019 is gonna be an amazing year and we can't wait to see you on the inside. Happy trading.

And now the stars of the RCA Victor program, Alice Faye and Phil Harris. Phil has scheduled a band rehearsal for this afternoon, and he's very anxious for everything to come off just right because the sponsor is going to be there. As we look in, Phil is at home getting ready to leave for rehearsal. Now, let me see. I think I've got everything I need for my band rehearsal. My conducting wand, my podium, my music. Why bother with music? Your musicians can't read. They don't have to know how to read. They memorize everything. And look, I don't want you knocking on them, Willie. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah. Let's see. I got the music, pitch pipe, tuning fork and earplugs. What are the earplugs for? Boys in the band, they can't stand to listen to each other. I wish I could think of some way to improve that band. What in the world could I do to make it sound better? Get a new male vocalist. And whom would you suggest? Me. Alice has been giving me singing lessons and I'm sure I'd be a valuable asset to your program. Oh, that's peachy. Look, I can't use you with my band. I have a very nice tenor voice. And I'll prove it to you, Phillip. Bonnie Google with his Google googly eyes. Yeah, that's good, Willie. Yeah, that's fine. That'll be enough. Yeah, you can knock it off. Down, boy. Down, down, boy. Thank you, Carmen Lombardo. I thought you gave up singing. Look, Willie, forget about singing with a band. Hey, I gotta get to rehearsal. Where's that no-talent guitar player of mine? He's supposed to pick me up.   Well, I couldn't help it. That name of his, what is it again? Elliot Lewis. I get nauseous every time I hear it. I'm not... I'll get that. Hi, Curly. Sorry I'm late. Well, it's about time you got here. We gotta rehearsal. Where you been?  It took the guy an hour to prepare it for me. Oh, must have had a fancy breakfast. No, same thing always, huh? Then why did it take him an hour? New bartender. What did you have for breakfast? The usual. Hot buttered toast and a whiskey sour. A whiskey sour for breakfast? Sure. Everybody should start the day off with some fruit juice. Look, we're late for rehearsal, so let's go, Emory. Emory? Well, that's your new name, ain't it? My new name is Elliot. No cracks. All right, all right, Elliot. Ooh. Come on. By the way, Alice, any mail come here addressed to me? Why should your mail come here? Well, since I changed my name, I've been giving this as my mailing address. See, my new name doesn't go with my old address. Why not? I think it sounds good. Mr. Elliot Lewis, 28, Skid Row Lane. That's not my address. I live at 69 Vat Boulevard. Well, he ain't been any mail for you. We haven't had any mail ourselves for several days, and now that I come to think of it, the neighbors haven't even had any either. But I'll check on that later when I get back from rehearsal. Come on, Esther. Elliot. Esther, Elliot, they're so close. Goodbye, honey. Goodbye, darling. Hurry back. Alice, what do you see in that old Indian? Willie, please. He happens to be my husband, and I'm very... Hey, Uncle Willie, here comes the Pony Express. Now, girls, girls, how many times must I tell you not to bring your wagon into the house? I'm not going to tell you again, but what have you gotten that wagon anyway? The neighbor's mail. We've been taking letters out of their boxes for the past two days so we can play post office. Yeah, and we're going to mix it up and put everybody's mail in somebody else's box. Oh, no. So that's why nobody in the neighborhood has been receiving any mail. Look, we're going to put that mail right back where it belongs and we're going to do it right now. Alice, you can't do that. You can't let the neighbors think your family is responsible for this. You'll have to sneak it back tonight for nobody to see you. Well, it would be embarrassing trying to explain this. Willie, put all those letters in the hall closet till tonight. Phyllis, where's our mail? Oh, we've already delivered that. Delivered it? Where? We put it in mailboxes all over the neighborhood Oh, that's terrible. We've got to get that back right now. Girls, you get our mail out of the boxes on this block and I'll take care of the next block and don't let anybody see you. But shall we take this mail and put it back? No, no, we haven't time. Just leave it in the hall closet. I'll return it tonight. All right, mother. But please don't tell daddy about this. He'll get mad. All right, all right. I won't tell your father as long as you never, never do a thing like this again. Now let's go get our mail back so long, Willie. But, but, but Alice, you promised to give me another singing lesson. I don't have time now, Willie. Play one of my records and listen closely.   Over there I wonder what she's doing there I wonder why she keeps looking over her shoulder She's like an awful suspicious What suspicious? All she's doing is taking the mail out of the storage mail box She's always the storage mail box Now what's she doing that for? Hey look Curly, now she's going to the next house She's taking a fistful out of the air box too What's the matter with her taking other people's mail? Now she's emptying another box I can't understand it I can I never wanted to mention it before Curly But I always thought she looked a little crooked What are you talking about? Did you ever notice her eyes?  I'm in here, Phila I'll be right out Listen to her puff She's getting a little old for them high fences Oh, Phila I didn't expect you home so early Oh, no? What have you been doing, dear? Oh, nothing I've been in the kitchen preparing salmon What'd you have to do? Swim upstream?  Outside? No, I haven't left the house all day I've been sitting here knitting Then why are you puffing? Heavy needles Excuse me, I have to go and file the warts off the pickles She's not only a crook, but she tells lousy jokes They like that, Curly She denies being out of the house and we saw her stealing mail I still can't believe it Look, I'm going to get to the bottom of this Now come on, let's find out what she's doing in that other room Wait a minute, look, no noise We're going to ease up Curly, that's my business Now don't talk too loud, girls Your father is in the house Shh, she's talking to the kids Well, girls, how did you make out? Fine, I got the mail out of the Ackman's box And here's the mail from the Bennett's box There was a cop on the corner, but he didn't see me I'm too clever How do you like that? She's got my kids working I'm living in a nest of thieves Imagine teaching little kids to steal for her Are you sure her name is an Alice Fagan? How about the rest of the mail, Mom? I'll take care of that tonight, after it gets dark Can we go with you? Oh, no, no, you girls have to go to bed I'll do this alone Well, at least she's not taking the kids out on her night job Probably don't want to split the swag with her I've got a good mind to tell my kids that she's double-crossing them I can't stand any more of this, come on, Elliot What are you going to do, Curly? I don't know, I've got to have time to think this over Come on, let's take a walk Wait a minute, I'll get my hat out of the closet Alice never did a dishonest thing in her life There must be something Oh, no What's that, Curly?  How could Alice have denied doing this thing? Well, maybe she steals without knowing it You mean she's one of them creptiloxamaniacs? Well, I've got to do something about this but I don't know why Now, Curly, don't trouble yourself Let me figure this out for you You just relax and take it easy Why don't you sing? Sing? What's the matter with you? I find out my wife and kids are crooks and you stand there and ask me to sing Yeah Well, I don't feel like it But at my age, I can't afford to turn down a request Just called up to tell you that I'm rugged but right A ramblin' and a gamblin' man, I'm free every night I eat a pot of steak three times a day for my board More than any guy in this whole town can afford I got a big electric fan to keep me cool when I sleep A mattress stuffed with dollar bills to tickle my feet My motto is love'em and meet'em and leave'em and cheat'em and break'em and ride I just called up to tell you that I'm rugged but right My house was built with palm shop tickets, red, white and blue My suits are made of tiger skins right out of the zoo I got a lot of money in the bank, I made it myself The hearts of all my girlfriends lying right on my shell The girls all stop and whistle every time I go by The girls all stop and whistle every time I go by But I'm pretty darn particular, I'm telling no lie I'm in there wheeling and dealing and really appealing and high as a kite I just called up to tell you that I'm rugged but right I just called up to tell you that I'm rugged but bad You caused me plenty worry, put some gray in my hair You got the lips that sunk the ships of England, France and Peru I'm just like Napoleon cause you're my Waterloo I'd like a 15 minute intermission in your Ford V8 I'd love to make it longer but I've got a late date My morals have always been gone with the wind so let's breeze it tonight I just called up to tell you that I'm rugged but right Overdue it cause I really overdue it last night Hey Curly, I've been thinking this over and I've got it all figured out If you follow my plan you'll never have to worry about Alice I love you, I knew I could count on you What are we going to do? Call the FBI and turn her in I can't turn Alice in, she's my wife But this is a federal offense What's more important, your wife or your country? My country, no my wife, no That's a tough question My country I'm living in and my wife I'm living off I can't turn Alice in, they'll arrest her Don't you realize that? They'll arrest her and send her away to prison That'll upset my whole life What do you mean? Well I'm a very busy guy What with my radio shows, my television appearances, my recordings and going up to visit Alice I won't have any time to go fishing Well Curly, I can fix that I'll see that she's sent to a pen close by I got a little pull, I think I can get her sent to Alcatraz Right in the San Francisco Bay and you can take a ferry over every Sunday and see her I can't let them send Alice to Alcatraz What's the matter with Alcatraz? I get seasick on a ferry Wait a minute, I'm not going to turn Alice in All we got to do is to take all these letters and sneak them back into the right boxes tonight Now how do you like that idea? Oh, crazy man, crazy I can't wait to get caught with a sack of hot mail Yeah, you're right We could get caught Look, we'll just have to get somebody else to do it for us Now we'll find somebody to take that Anybody home? This kid's timing is uncanny Hey Curly How are you going to get him to take them letters back?  You punk, you would be so happy I'm talking about that kind of post office We're playing mailman Lovable And you can be the mother And you'll be the mailman And that'll be in takes you to the nut house I think we're using the wrong approach with this boy Yeah, yeah Julius, I'm going to be perfectly frank with you I've got something awful to tell you and it's very confidential What is it, Mr. Harris? Well, I just found out that the woman I love is a crook No kidding You won't tell anybody, will you?  I won't stand here and listen to this I'm going to take my delivery basket and get out of here But Julius, you can help me, don't leave Curly, curly, curly Let him go But we want him to take the mail with him He's taking it But he don't know he's taking it While you were talking to him, I planted the letters in his delivery basket At least we're getting it out of the house Don't you realize that as soon as the kid gets out of the house with the mail We're in the clear Oh, wait a minute Come in I beg your pardon, I'm from the postal inspector's office Ow! The mail has been missing in this neighborhood And we have a pretty good idea who's taking it Holy smokes, and it's true what Mr. Harris said Officer, I happen to know who it is, too And I feel it's my patriotic duty to turn in the culprit The one who stole the mail is... Mr. Harris, please, don't... Sorry, Julius But if you've been stealing mail, you've got to pay the penalty Take him away, officer So long, kid, I'll send you a cake Wait a minute, you can't... Don't worry, kid, I'll get you a good cheap lawyer You'll have you out in 20 or 30 years You'll have time to get in the army Grocery boy A likely story Search him, officer Better yet, search his grocery basket What have you got in that basket, son? Nothing but groceries I'll lift up the middle and show you Look, honey chokes, rutabagas, string beans Special delivery letters, air mail letters It looks bad for you, son But I never... This kid can act I think he's overplaying it a little Phil, Phil, what's all the racket in here? Don't get excited, lady I am from the Postal Inspector's office See you around Arresting you? Oh, officer, I can't let you arrest this boy He's innocent I know he didn't steal that mail I have a confession to make Thank goodness there's a spark of decency left in her Lady, you seem to know something about this Did you steal this mail?  My kids didn't do it All right, make up your mind They don't care who did it, but I'm arresting somebody Then arrest the right person Who is the right person?
