I mean it might be a first world problem, but it's still a tragedy. This guy, Bob Murphy, sent me a mystery package, a small envelope, nothing much to it. Look, I opened it about three months ago, there was nothing in it. It was just an unopened movie, We Are Marshall. It said J. McDonnell, PO Box 8763 Alice Springs, from Murphy. It didn't even say a first name. I couldn't track him down, I didn't know who sent it. So I thought one day I'm going to talk about it on camera, but I hadn't done it yet. Lo and behold, I put it up there with my other DVDs, my other PlayStation games. This fellow Bob has been watching my movies, watching my videos like a hawk. Guys, I'm doing this on the fly because I have just found, guys, I feel so terrible. It's a white envelope, there was a massive letter, handwritten letter, okay, that this fellow has told me he spent three weeks on, but I had no idea it was in there. Tucked in here, I thought, I didn't see the white paper against the white envelope, and I had no idea that there was a letter in here. No idea, I just thought it was a movie. Guys, he's just hit me up via email saying that he'd spotted his DVD on my cabinet and said, and felt hurt because I didn't even make any type of video, I didn't say anything, I didn't thank him or anything because I had not got this letter yet. That's the only reason, mate. Bob, my man, I haven't read this yet and I have to go, I'm at work, I'm on my break. I've just come here quickly to check. I've literally just opened this envelope, I've looked in here probably three or four different times, I've not seen this.  My apologies, mate, my apologies.  Hope it's readable, he says. Look at it. Is this not the most beautifully written handwriting you've ever seen your entire life? Five pages worth. Mate, what can I say? We're here now, let's roll the intro and I'll see you in a minute. Mate, you know what?  I'm going to read this letter. Five pages, Bob. I emailed him back. He mentioned something about the letter, I emailed him back and said, Bob, finally, I found who in Murphy triggered in my mind. I remember seeing Murphy, but I don't remember seeing Bob or B. Anyway, guys, I emailed him back saying, you're being sarcastic about the letter, right? There was no letter. And he's come back and said he's been autistic for his entire life. He's 65 years on this earth and he has troubles with pens and no, he wasn't being sarcastic about the letter. He was just genuinely hurt that I hadn't said anything for six months. But here we go. Okay, hold on a sec. Okay, so I'm assuming there's going to be some sort of reaction and I have not done a reaction for a subscriber in a very long time, so this is going to be special. Anyways, guys. Okay, are we ready? Hello, Jacob. I want to start by saying how much I enjoy your videos. Now, bear with me, I have been sick the last three days. So my voice is a little bit croaky. Okay, I've just been to the gym as well. My heart rate's going through the roof. Hello, Jacob. I want to start by saying how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you. Bob. Having the chance to watch someone bring a fresh pair of eyes and a fresh eagerness to a game that you have known and loved all your life and almost hate for granted is a special thing. Seeing you out there alone on that rugby pitch reminds me way too much of myself as a boy in the backyard, figuring out how to pump the ball straight up so I'd be able to catch it. So I'm with you in spirit all the way. Thank you, man. That's funny. You know, sometimes I do feel pretty alone out there on the rugby pitch, running around, passing it to myself, kicking it to myself. So for you to think that is pretty cool. You know, I'm not the only one. You've been learning about the teams and the great players of yesterday and today.  You've been learning the rules of the game and working to acquire the skills to play it. But what you haven't really got an into yet, except for the video about the rivalry, is the lore. The historical backstories surrounding football that make it more than just a game. Stories that you won't find in highlight reels or lists of the greatest. Most are small stories that you might only hear if you are having a few beers with old-timers. But some of the biggest stories have been considered worthy of retelling in Hollywood movies. And of course Hollywood likes to embellish stories to make them more dramatic and compelling. But what may be the biggest of those stories didn't need embellishment because the reality could not have been any more dramatic or compelling. Most of the college teams seeing playing on TV and that produce NFL talent are from big universities. Often in big cities. But the heart and soul of college football is really in smaller schools, in smaller cities and towns. Where the players know that they really don't have a chance at the pros and play for the love of the game. Where the college team is considered the hometown team. And most everyone in that town turns out to the stadium on Saturday afternoon to watch the game and cheer on their beloved team when we lose. That sounds absolutely amazing. Whoops. Better watch myself. Marshall University. We are Marshall. Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia is one of those schools. And their thundering herd is one of those teams. Their slogan is, at some places they play football. At Marshall it's who we are. At some places they play football. They play football. At Marshall it's who we are. But for a lot of their history it was like Marshall didn't play football. They were perennially one of the worst teams in the country.  But it was soon discovered that his methods weren't entirely ethical. That sounds extremely interesting. If it's about that, I definitely want to win it. I definitely want to watch it, sorry. There were recruiting violations and some players were secretly being paid hundreds of dollars even though they fired the coach. Marshall was kicked out of the mid-America conference and had to play as an independent. Late in the 70s season, Marshall was having a good year for them. With a three and five record and a chance for a break-even season. On November 14th, they had an away game against the Pirates of East Carolina. I've got a Pirate's Jumper, Jersey. Not Jumper, Jersey. Don't know. A purple one. East Carolina Pirates. On November 14th, at three and five for the season, they had an away game against the Pirates of East Carolina University and suffered a narrow disappointing 17-14 loss. On the way home that evening, when their chartered airliner went on the approach to the Huntington Airport, flying through the dark and rain and fog, it crashed into a hillside just two kilometers short of the runway. All 75 people on board, 37 players, five coaches, seven staff members, 21 prominent team supporters, we call them boosters here, and five flight crew lost their lives. I was not expecting that. 70 children lost at least one parent. 18 were orphaned, nine and one family alone. It remains the deadliest tragedy in American sports history. The plane's destruction was so complete that the accident's cause could not be conclusively determined. And in the wake of the investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued three new recommendations for the airline's safety equipment and procedures. So that didn't even get any closure. Needless to say, Marshall University and the city of Huntington were shattered and the scars of that dark night remain to this day. I honestly thought that they were going to come... I... Mate, you're a great storyteller. I'll give you that. You didn't give it away in the first bloody sentence.  And I think this is going to be absolutely amazing. The movie We Are Marshall aftermath of the tragedy. It's effect on the people of the school and the city and their determination to continue the football program even against the wishes of the University Administration and of the only coach willing to take on the task of rebuilding the team from scratch. I couldn't even read that fast enough, man. I'm so excited to watch this. Of course, if this was a typical Hollywood movie, it would play fast and loose with the facts, but it's not. It wasn't even shot in Hollywood. It was shot on Marshall campus and in Huntington with real students and townspeople, some who lived through the events as extras, and they made sure that the real story was told. Yes, Marshall's new team did win their first home game in true Hollywood fashion. Oh, mate, that would... Oh, fuck, how good would that be? Mate, once again, what a storyteller. Yes, Marshall's new team did win their first home game in true Hollywood fashion with the last second touchdown pass, but that was only one of two wins in 1971. The Herd remained the worst team in the country throughout the decade of the 70s. They lost more games than any other team, but they kept working, kept fighting. In 84, they had their first winning season in 20 years and have had nothing but winning seasons ever since. And during the 90s, they won more games than any other team, making it to the Div 1 AA, now Div 1 FCS, national championship game, six times, winning the title twice. And we go on. Marshall University and Huntington and Huntington still honour the 75. And they say that when the Thundering Herd gets ready for a game, there are actually two teams that suit up. Today's team and the 1970 team. 35 players. All... the entire team. 37 players, five coaches, seven staff members, 21 prominent team supporters and five flight crew. Marshall University and Huntington still honour the 75. And they say that when the Thundering Herd gets ready for a game, there are actually two teams that suit up. Today's team and the 1970 team. And today they still play for those whose season ended one game early as all those years ago. All those years ago. There are hundreds of college football teams and each team's fans have their own shares of those fans. But I think that somewhere down deep in all of us, there are times when we also share we are Marshall. So enjoy the movie. It's a good one. I'm not even going to go into... Oh, wow. I'm not even going to go into what it took to get hold of an Australian region DVD to send you. I assume you went through some hoops at the very least. Though I grew up in mid-America conference territory and I honour the memory of that Marshall team, I'm not a son of Marshall. I'm a buckeye. Well, with that being said, now we're talking. And since you've started to watch marching band videos, you really need to see the Ohio State University marching band. The best damn band in the land. The best damn band in the land. Not only are they the largest all brass and percussion marching band in the world. For more than a century, they have been the innovators of almost every major advancement in the state of the art marching bands. In the state of the art of marching bands. If it weren't for TBDBITL, pronounced TBIDL, high school and college marching bands would not be what they are today. The best damn band in the land. Please watch and react to the video OSU, Ohio State University vs Minnesota, back to the future pre-game and halftime. It includes the traditional pre-game show and one of the animated halftime shows for which they have become world famous. It's a few minutes longer than normal because of a salute to the band's graduating members and a 50th birthday honour to the school's mascot, Brutus Buckeye. But it's one of the better shows I've watched. Thanks mate. Bob Murphy. Guys. What am I going to title this video? Bob. Bob, this was absolutely amazing to read. I hope my viewers enjoyed it as much as I did. I'm going to watch this video, this DVD. I'm not sure if I'm going to make a reaction out of it, but what I will do is watch for you absolutely OSU vs Minnesota back to the future pre-game and halftime. And that's just one college team. The stories, the history of the game. I mean this was look guys, I'm going to try and actually not put my foot in it or dig myself a hole here because I don't think anything I'm going to say is really going to you know, give any of that justice, I'm just going to take it on board and I'm really going to enjoy this because to see a team and a town come through something like that and then have nothing but winning seasons from 1990 onwards or 1984 onwards is going to be fucking amazing and Matthew McConaughey actually just got out of the gym my heart rate's come back down to normal right now so you know we got through the letter I there was no way I was going to see this, see the five pages and not read it right here right now so we've done it Bob I feel so bad, I messaged him back saying be sarcastic about the letter because I didn't think there was anything in there mate, much love wherever you are in the world, no you're in Ohio of course you're a buckeye and so am I my hat to you have a fantastic day Bob thanks very much for the DVD thanks for going through the troubles to get it for me and I will treasure it and the letter will be staying right next to it and once again thank you thank you, much love peace


Welcome to the SIG Network deep dive! This has been a collaborative set of slides from the members of the Kubernetes SIG network community, including myself, friends, Jay, Ricardo, Rob, and Manuel. So what is the area that is covered by SIG network? Well, it touches on all of the networking aspects of the Kubernetes ecosystem. This includes pod networking within and between nodes, including interfaces such as CNI and IPAM, cluster networking in and out of the cluster network, service abstractions such as load balancing of L4, L7, and service discovery so using systems such as DNS. Network policies, i.e. security and access control, basically how you secure your pods and workloads. And of course, the APIs associated with these functions and these APIs include pod, node, endpoint, endpoint slice, service ingress, gateway, and network policy. For those of you who are interested, we have a well attended Zoom meeting every other Thursday and a busy Slack channel. And don't worry, we will put this information back up at the end of this presentation. As we only have a 35 minute slot, and there are many excellent intro videos, here are some previous intros and deep dives, the links shown here. We would like to take our 20 minutes to give an update about exciting things that have been happening in the SIG, things that have landed, things that the SIG is actively working on, and future directions. Okay, so what has been happening in the SIG? There are many smaller improvements, features that people have requested. And APIs have gone GA that have been covered in detail before, such as endpoint slice. And also, there are a couple of big items, dual stack, which is support for IPv4 and IPv6, gateway API, which is the next iteration of L4, L7 service APIs, rethinking how to support network topology and network routing. And finally, network policy working group, which has already landed some features, and are looking as well at a potential version two of the API. Let's talk about some of the improvements to Kubernetes networking that have landed. First, we have loosened the restriction that a service type load balancer can only support a single protocol. This is the multi protocol services cap. And the link is there in the slide. Basically, before this improvement, you could only have a single protocol service as part of your load balancer definition.  For example, in this case, you see a mixed protocol service that actually uses both UDP and TCP as part of the load balancer service. It is the case that since this is new, support actually depends on your particular cloud provider. So please check the port status on your service object. And if your cloud provider currently does not support having multiple protocols as a load balancer service, you will see this error, load balancer mix protocol not supported. The next improvement that has been added to Kubernetes networking is a way to disable different types of LB ports. We have had feedback from users that for certain cloud providers, a load balancer service actually does not need a node port in order to function. And the need for node ports has actually caused issues where node ports have been allocated and have been completely used, but actually they're not really part of the functional load balancer. This restricts the number of load balancer services that a user can use with disable LB ports, we can set a flag on allocate load balancer node ports. And if this is set to false, then creation of a load balancer service actually does not also allocate a node port load balancer and pod lifecycle has also seen improvements in this past year. It has always been the case that for service with external traffic policy equals local, when the pods in the service on a specific node have been terminated, there may be a period in time when the external LB health check has not been updated, which causes traffic to be black hole during this time interval, the pod may still be gracefully shutting down, but will not receive traffic. We can see this illustrated in the diagram below where the pods are terminated, the yellow lightning bolt, but in that interim time between the termination and the health check, there is potential for a black hole. By tracking terminating endpoints in a separate state in an endpoint slice, we're able to model pods in the graceful shut down state. While in this state, the traffic steering behavior of external traffic policy local cube proxy is somewhat changed. First, traffic will be sent to ready and terminating pods. If no ready pods exist, then the traffic will be sent to not ready and terminating pods. In essence, we try to deliver traffic as much as possible to endpoints that exist as opposed to black holeing the traffic prematurely. And now Manuel will tell us about endpoint slice. Another big addition the SIG network has been working on is graduating endpoint slices to general availability in Kubernetes 121. Endpoint slices were introduced as a beta feature to Kubernetes in 117, and they offer a more simple way to track network endpoints within Kubernetes at scale. Previously, the endpoint object hold all endpoints of the pods correlating to the given service object and therefore could grow quite big in case of lots of pods. With endpoint slices, those gigantic endpoint resources would be split into more granular endpoint slices, where the endpoint slices only hold a subpart of addresses for the pods. If no a pod changes its endpoint, only this endpoint slices needs to update as well, resulting in way less consumption of for example memory and network. Big endpoint object previously caused issues in different Kubernetes parts, such as the API or ETCD, as it was just grown so big and therefore scaling was difficult. With this new feature, this becomes finally easy again. Endpoint slices support IPv4, IPv6 and FQDNs. Finally, there is an important security related update around the service external IPs feature. Use of the service external IPs feature allows users to specify an IP directly as a way to integrate with manually configured external load balancers. Unfortunately, it is impossible for Kubernetes to determine whether or not the IP specified actually belongs to the user or is an internet IP that they might be spoofing. This can cause unwanted traffic capture in the cluster. As external IPs are a GA feature that is in use, the recommendation from SIG network is to disable this feature by default using an admission controller. Those who continue to use the feature should think about how they will defend against this attack vector. Let's now cover some of the big changes that have been going on in SIG network. First, exciting news is that dual stack support is progressing to beta. So what is dual stack support? Dual stack allows all Kubernetes networking components, that is pods, services and nodes, to have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at the same time. Also as part of the dual stack effort is the ability for clusters to migrate from single stack support to being dual stack enabled. As you can imagine with all seamless migrations, there needs to be careful design to make the smooth for the user. We expect that services in a dual stack cluster will operate in single stack or both. Services from a migrated cluster will have previous semantics preserved. Details on the dual stack implementation. It basically requires Kubernetes 120 or higher and the implementation behavior has changed from previous alpha semantics. You will need to enable dual stack using IPv6 dual stack equals true feature gate. IPv4 IPv6 ranges will of course need to be specified at cluster creation time. Note that when converting from a single stack to a dual stack cluster, all of the existing services will automatically inherit single stack with IPv4. This preserves the semantics of the current services. To enable IPv6 on an existing service, you will need to recreate your service in dual stack mode. This slide shows a summary of the changes you will see in the Kubernetes API. Services will have a new field IP family policy. This allows you to determine what kind of dual stack service you want, independent of how the cluster is configured. Single stack means that you are explicitly requesting a particular stack. And also you have to set IP families to choose which stack is to be used. Prefer means that you would like to be dual stack prefer means that you would like to be dual stack if it is available. And the system will choose for you require means that dual stack must be enabled. Along with the policy is a list of preferences. Order does matter when looking at IP families. The other resources such as pod and node have their IP related fields pluralized in a straightforward manner. Gateway API is another major effort in the SIG. The goal of the Gateway API is to create a modern set of APIs for deploying L4 and L7 routing in Kubernetes. The design aims to be generic, expressive, extensible and role oriented. We have seen the trend for Kubernetes user personas to shift from empowered single developers towards a more role oriented model where many different teams may collaborate together to deploy an application. Some common roles that we are thinking about include the infrastructure provider who manages the underlying infrastructure of the cluster, cluster operators who deal with cluster global configuration and application developers who deploy their apps and workloads. The Gateway API has three main goals at the high level. One, better model personas and roles like we described previously. Support modern load balancing features with predictability, maybe not perfect portability but at least predictable portability. Three, create standard mechanisms for extension, growth, implementation and vendor specific behaviors. You will see that to accomplish these things we are focusing on creating a scalable resource model that can work well with RBAC, creating a notion of levels of support and conformance akin to conformance profiles in Kubernetes and creating a flexible resource model that allows for some degree of polymorphism when dealing with resource relationships. This slide shows a sketch of how the API objects relate in the Gateway API. The infrastructure provider will deal with creating Gateway class resources that determine what kind of gateways will be possible to provision in a given cluster. The cluster operator and or application developer will create Gateway objects that represent specific instances of load balancers and the ways that users can access the services. Finally, application developers will write routes that model their applications. Note that routes are not limited to HTTP and L7 but can also be L4. In fact the type of the route object is protocol specific and this allows for a lot of room for extension to custom protocol types. So we're really excited to announce that the v1 alpha 1 version has been cut and now there are at least six different implementations in the works. Please visit the website for more details. v1 alpha 1 includes features such as L4 and L7 load balancing, advanced TLS configuration beyond what is currently possible with ingress, traffic splitting, traffic mirroring, header-based routing and modification and a lot more is in progress. Support for awareness of network topology is another area where the SIG is focusing its efforts. In Kubernetes 121 we deprecated the old alpha topology implementation. After a lot of discussion it turns out that the approach taken was likely too inflexible and much too prescriptive for the long-term evolution of Kubernetes. We have now instead moved towards a simpler approach. First we handled the special case of a node local daemon set as a special case rather than bundling it with the generic topology notion and this is internal traffic policy. Second for topology aware network routing we use endpoint slice and a controller to manage the algorithm. This makes the policy more decoupled in the system. For the alpha we have a controller that allocates endpoints proportionally with hints that kube proxy can consume. Each service can now opt into this algorithm using the annotation service.kubernetes.io slash topology aware hints. This slide gives an example of what happens when using the topology hints. Given three zones with an equivalent amount of node capacity pod endpoints should be distributed evenly among them. In this example zone A has one more endpoint than it needs and so that extra endpoint is then allocated to zone C. The original behavior of kube proxy without topology aware routing is to only use the hint for all zones which is described in this original section of the diagram whereas the smarter zone aware kube proxy will use the zonal hints and distribute traffic accordingly. Network policy is another area that the SIG is working on. One of the most voted requests has been of a port range API similar to what many CNI providers already have. To this effect we've added this to the Kubernetes API now. You can test it out by adding an end port field to your network policy definition. Also we have worked with the API machinery team to put out default labels on all namespaces. This is a common thing that we have heard which is how to select a namespace when I don't have the RBAC permissions to set labels. Thanks to our friends in API machinery for collaborating on this. The SIG has been collaborating on cluster network policy implementations. This will allow administrators to help define defaults that apply across multiple namespaces. This work is very early days but the KEP is now available and we would love for anyone in the security or administrative space to leave some feedback. Also we've worked with SIG testing to make sure that the network policy API is exercised on all relevant CNIs that support network policies. These are the early days for the KEP to define cluster network policies. Once this KEP merges different CNIs with up to now bespoke network policy APIs will be able to converge on a coming upstream. Cluster network policy covers the use cases of being able to enable cluster admins the ability to enforce secure by default policies on cluster tenants. And hopefully the design is a happy medium between needed functionality without adding too much complexity and expressiveness. The network policy group has also started discussing what would it take to create a V2 API which covers some issues such as no more defaults and then extensibility to other selectors. One interesting thing that has been done in network policy is that of conformance. We now have a suite of table tests for network policies that now can be used to test CNI providers as well as learn about how different network policies affect pods in a cluster. Other work in the community is evolving to generate perhaps hundreds of different network policies automatically. We have also begun testing network policies on Windows nodes as well and have confirmed that our existing tests are Windows compatible. I would like to finally mention some hot off the presses efforts in the SIG. The SIG has started to take a closer look at Qproxy maintenance. Qproxy is a complicated component and has many different implementations and backends. Some of the principles that we are looking at is how do we make Qproxy better for users which includes eliminating corner cases and bugs. Looking at different ways of factoring the component and having a new architecture which we call Qproxy next gen to speed Qproxy improvements. And finally as part of this new architecture make Qproxy easier to maintain so have an organized maintenance of the component and also to look at the Qproxy next generation architecture sort of as a natural roadmap. And that concludes our SIG network deep dive update. I hope you learned about what has been going on in the SIG in the past year and have some understanding of where the SIG is going in the future. Thank you. Now it's time for questions.

You don't need to be sitting there watching your 401K or watching your long-term portfolio. Bleed tape, you know, tape proactive action. You don't need, this is a 1973. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing well. I hope everybody is healthy and happy and joy and full of life. Don't let the market, right? Don't let the market dictate who you are. Don't let the market dictate what you want to achieve in life or just your overall happiness. This is just the end zone, me. All of us who've been doing this for a very, very long time kind of know that the hard way, okay? And, you know, years ago, and I'm always the first one to admit it, you know, during the dot-com era, we got lucky, okay? None of my friends will ever admit this, but I admitted this to myself years and years ago. We got lucky, right? We knew nothing. We knew absolutely nothing. We were in the right place at the right time during the greatest market of all time. And I know that some of you guys have been in this market the last five years. It's been really, really strong for the bulls, but there's been nothing like the internet craze. And we got very, very lucky. And what happened next, we weren't prepared for, okay? We weren't prepared for the two-year market after 9-11. You know, we weren't prepared for the 2007, 2008 spilling over into 2009 mortgage crisis, but then we finally started putting things together. And it really did take me, you know, it really took me probably about 10 to 12 years to finally kind of get it. So very, really small measures of kind of what to get it. And most of it was because I was never expi- I was never exposed to this, you know, experience is time, right? Time is experience. And when you've never experienced one side of the market, it's always been by the dip, by the dip of bulls, you know, the bears will never learn. And this is not the other thing that you hear on social media, sensationalize. You start to believe it. You start to, you know, you start to kind of sip your own Kool-Aid. And eventually, and hopefully this wasn't happened, but eventually you start to see the reality, the harsh reality that there's both sides of this coin, right? There really is. And the market was very, very aggressive in 2001. It was very, very aggressive in 2007, 2008 with the almost obliteration of stock prices and the whole global economy. But we got through it, right? We got through it. We got through it much more smarter, much more mature. We, a lot of us grew up very, very quickly. But again, we were more comfortable in our own skin because we already had a decade into this game. And a lot of traders, they believe that they can't figure out in the first two, three years, it's a waste of time. It's nonsense. You know, two, three years, you guys are babies, right? First thing about it, first three years of your life, what are you doing?  So think about the first three years of a trader's career. You're trying to figure out what the difference between a bid and offers, right? You wanna know the difference between a closing place. Some people don't know what red to green or green to red is. So you're just trying to just get them as much information as possible. And you're just trying to kind of make it to the next day. In the bullest market, the most rabidous, savage bull market is very, very tough for a new trader because again, they've never experienced it. So when something like this comes around, it's kind of like the end of the world. And everybody goes into this fetal position and underneath their desk and they start praying to God and it's been two weeks, right? It's been literally two weeks. Try to go from 2001 to 2003 and not making it done. Try to go from 2007 to 2009, hoping that number one will have a stock market left to trade, but you don't know where your next dollar's gonna come from because you've never seen a potential Armageddon effect of the stock market, right? So here we are, right? And when you look at the market from a long-term trend and we started talking about this last night in the video, here's the monthly chart, right? And we've been seeing for the last several years is all this. And again, if I would have turned to anybody, even the most novice trader and say, well, what is this? Does this look really bearish to you? They would turn around and say, no, how can it be bearish? We have this big, big run. We have this move back into rising support and just like all the times, right? We're gonna bounce back. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. But from the outside, it doesn't look that bad. When it turns bad is when we start closing below this trend line. This trend line got saved a little bit adjusted basis on the close, but when you look at the cues, right? When you look at the cues from the daily basis, there's literally one area left before this goes from kind of like, ha, ha, ha, a little bit of a back test. Let's just wait it out to ha, ha, ha. The whole two-year trend that started in October 2020 has been broken and now what, right? And now what? And now all of a sudden, there are no breakouts. There are no stocks that are going higher on upgrades. Every piece of good news is being sold. Welcome to 2001, welcome to 2007, welcome to 2008. Where we are right now in 2022 is to be determined. But that's okay, right? Guys, that's okay. Just take a deep breath, understand this. For me, I'm on year 23. You could be on month 23. You could be on 23 weeks. You have an experience, which is a good thing. What a lot of us that started in the late 90s, early 2000s have. And there's a lot of torture in between. And hopefully there's so much information and hopefully so many good people in your corner that they could kind of guide you through this, right? There's no arrogance involved.   The stock market's gonna go, no, it's just, it's all about a structural balance passing on some of your experience. And that's the difference, right? The difference between 23 weeks and 23 years is all these years. All these scenarios, all these bear markets, all these bear cycles, 9-11, pandemics, this that the other thing. And now we're here.  Not month 23, but year 23. And now there are no surprises because I've seen this movie before. We've seen the worst case scenarios before. We've seen the towers go down. We've seen the financial crisis take down pillars of financial institutions. So excuse me, if two weeks in January is not freaking anybody out. And that's the most important part. The level of heads will prevail. More important than that is where we are technically. And that's kind of what we want to start the day. If we talked about last night, we talked about, we talked about Nvidia, we talked about, you talked about the home builders, Apple started getting a little heavier. And today what we saw was another pretty aggressive case of sell, right? January of 2022, at least the first 19 days on the calendar have been incredibly aggressive to the downside. And again, you got another 1% down for the S&P for the Dow, the NASDAQ 100 going down one another 1.2%. The Russell that we talked about yesterday, the IWM went down another 1.6%. But more important is not what happened the first 19 days is what's happening next. And that's the most important part.  And look, is it possible we gap down tomorrow, reverse course and kind of have a rally back yet? Of course, of course it's absolutely possible. But when you look at the charts tonight and you go through all your diligence, you're gonna see, man, that if we start losing this bottom of the channel here, we're gonna have some phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal value. If you thought the moves were really good today and we'll get to the pivots in a second, now we're starting to get into a macro point of view, a wider range of more stocks starting to take down macro cycles. And this is where everything could start getting very, very aggressive. Again, I'm not talking about, and I'm not saying this from the whole fear-monger point of view.  You could just see it. You could see where important areas of the market is, where important support is. And if they break those levels, whether it's your individual stock or macro ETF, then price action probably will follow soon thereafter.  Again, there's two sides of the market to trade. And I know some of you guys are longer-term investors and hopefully you'll be okay, right? Because if we do close below this whole macro channel, you'll see. Unfortunately, you'll probably see what I'm talking about. Hopefully it doesn't get there. Hopefully the market holds tomorrow. But if it doesn't, you don't need to be a victim. If you have a long, aggressive portfolio, take advantage of the information you know. Start hedging your portfolio. If you're heavily invested in technology, maybe start shorting some cues against your inventory, against your book. Again, you don't need to be sitting there watching your 401k or watching your long-term portfolio. Bleed, take proactive action. You don't need, this is in 1972 that there's no information out there. There's plenty of information out there. So be an adult, manage your active portfolio the same way you would manage it if the market was screaming higher. And again, nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow. Like I say every single video, we're planning on what we think is gonna happen tomorrow. We'll get the individual pivots in a second and then some of the setups. But we don't know what's gonna happen. But if you are in this business for only a couple of years, guys, just relax. I'm telling you, relax. It's not that bad. You have really, hopefully you have really good people in your corner that have experience, that have a cool head on their shoulders. That number one, understand the dynamics that stocks do go up, which we've seen very, very aggressively in the last several years. And potentially they can go down as well. And the difference again between 2001 versus 2022, at least I've seen the movie before. I know how it kind of ends. The most important part is figuring out and trying to capitalize what's in between. And that's kind of what we try to do every single day. Do I have the answers for everything? Absolutely not. I'm wrong. I'm wrong a lot. I'm wrong in my opinion. But as long as my opinion doesn't play out as being a mule and being very, very picketed in their price action, I'm okay with that. And that's kind of what we talked about. You know, we talked about last night, I was waiting for the sell side bias. And that's the first thing I said this morning.  And what that's been doing is it's been completely destroying some of these setups over and over and over again. So when we gapped up today in the morning based on my research from last night, which I was pretty much all sell bias, I said, look, I'm gonna give the bears every opportunity to seize control for the first candles of the day. Stay patient. I wanted to buy nothing. There's this absolutely zero you wanna buy when stocks had a big move move down the previous day and they're gapping up into supply. And we talk about this constantly. If you've been watching this video over and over and over again, the worst thing you could possibly do after a big declining engulfing candle that we saw yesterday is buy stocks at the open. You're gonna be stuffed at supply 99% of the time. And unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to a lot of traders today. We reversed course, we were sitting there patient, like my patient's level right now is like statuette. I'm like a statuette. I can literally wait all day for these things. And finally around 11 o'clock in the morning, it was like Moses parting the Red Seas. Everything went, I mean, everything started getting red. A macro channel and the Q's got busted. And next thing we know, we had a phenomenal, phenomenal session back to the downside and now we're setting up for tomorrow. So let's talk about this. Yesterday, 262 was obviously a big number on the video. We talked about last night's video how big that 256 level was. 256 is a macro pivot. If it confirms it could get down to 245 potential. Here is the video. It didn't get quite down to 245, but it took out the 256 closed right at the lows of 250. If this thing gaps up tomorrow and they start reclaiming today's channels, you could see 245, 240 depending on what we see with the overall market. So really good move on the video. Rivian continues to be really good. Yesterday you had the 77, 75 macro area fall. I said we could see 65. Confirm yesterday's macro, green to red on watch. Watch for yesterday's lows, 72, 85 can flush to the lows. The stock is trading right now. 69 after hours, really great move. I still think there's a shot, guys. Everybody should be down to 10, 15% of the runner right now, but I do believe I think there's a shot if the market continues to go low. We could see 65, 60 with the next couple of days, especially if the market continues to move lower. Spotify, I had zero interest in Spotify, way too thin for me. Spotify experienced traders watch this move here, 209, 50, 209. It went down to like the 206s. I still think it probably goes lower with the rest of the market, but it's not for me. Here's again, here's where we talked about last night's video, the double bottom of 369. If it goes red, that line in the sand potential could flush and they killed the market, right? Especially in the afternoon, they killed the market. Here was the 269 level. They flushed it down, trading 366 right now. Again, this whole 365 level is either going to be defended tomorrow. We're gonna rally back, or if this thing closes below 365 again, we'll talk about that on the weekend update. Keep in mind, tomorrow is Thursday. That's my normal Thursday night off, so there is no video. Next video, guys, we'll see, is on the weekend. But again, big, big move on the queues to the downside as well. Airbnb never confirmed. I still like it, guys. Watch this 152 tomorrow on Airbnb. I think I'll upgrade to say, who gives a crap? This thing starts taking out this whole bottom channel, maybe sees macro area to the downside, so that one never confirmed. Lenard, we talked about the home builders last night. Lenard got downgraded today, macro support if it builds below can flush. Here was Lenard, we talked about the home builders last night, right? Here's Lenard, went to 96. DWAC obviously never got up to the 94 level. Apple 169, 2169, if it builds below can flush. Here's Apple, Apple got smoked again today. Smoked first close, they blow the 50 day moving average. This 50 day gets confirmed tomorrow. This thing's going to 164. Tesla, 1013, huge macro area, excuse me, huge spot support if it builds below can flush. Here's 1013 on Tesla, right? You kind of get the picture here. It's 1013 on Tesla, closed right at the lows, 995. Watch for this next macro area going on the January 10th lows. Again, it could get there, especially if the market is weak. Take on the way down, take on the way down, blah, blah, blah, and the video gets smoked. We're set up for tomorrow, guys. You don't have to be very, very creative. Go through the NASDAQ 100. Amazon looks like on death's door. The video looks terrible. Even though Tesla's not there yet at macro, it's very, very close to there as well. Rivian still looks like four or five points down. Amazon, Apple first close below the 50 day moving average. Go through the NASDAQ 100. It'll take you five minutes. You'll get super value for tomorrow if you put in just a little bit of work tonight. Guys, again, if you're a brand new trader, just relax. I know it seems scary. I know it seems like it's never gonna end. It's only been two weeks, right? Try trading a market like this for two years then you really start to appreciate what this is but more important than what this is. And so take a deep breath, guys. Again, find that positive influence, cool essence in your life with a cool head. Could give you some experience, give you some good advice, but the most important thing is stay in business. Guys, God bless, have a great night. I will see you all tomorrow.


Good morning to you and welcome back. It's time for youth and politics. And of course today we get to talk about something we have for long been talking about corruption and of course fraud. Well, since the 1965 gay mares scandal, we have had a series of these corruption scandals coming all through from the gay as I mentioned and of course the golden bug, the famous one, then now we have the recent. Of course the NYS and the most famous Aral and Kimmural Dam scandals. Well, what have been leading to all these kind of issues? What is the role and the responsibility of young people in combating corruption and fraud? This morning I'm joined by a panel of quite informed people and persons who have been in the field and still are in the field. Of course right to my next is Aslan Jiro who is a fraud examiner and of course an investigator and the project manager at OCS. OCS is the Ojiambo Consulting Services Group and of course right on my right hand side far far right is Kavere Bahru who is a political analyst. Good morning. Right then next to him we have Mr Collins Ojiambo who is a forensic investigator at Ojiambo Consulting Services Group. You don't need to hold it in the mic. I want to begin with you Collins. Let's begin the conversation. Corruption has become the song of the day. We have had scandals after scandals after scandals. What do you think is leading to all these issues in the country? I think the main thing is lifestyle and cultural. In the sense that everyone wants a good life and what has happened over time we've glorified that the only way to make a success is by having money, the big thing, the glamorous living. Now because of that everyone is actually rushing to a mass wealth and if you are a public servant or you've been working this is the fear of poverty. You are looking and going and retiring what will happen to me. So you want to amass to build security and then where the society has also messed is people say this person was in office now look at, he doesn't have anything. What does it inform? The guys were there saying now I don't want people to say that I don't have anything. Let me amass I build security for myself and my family so that I can show guys that actually I was there in office and I'm someone who's worth respecting. So we have a wrong measure of success which is heavily get towards money and material things regardless of how they've been acquired. Is it a question of success or is it a question of the people that you need because often times we have as we were talking alone outside of the set we talked about the issue of the private and public sector. Now we have made it look like it's a public sector thing. What are some of the things that we need to consider when also talking about the private sector? You see what happens when it's a public sector. The main area where corruption takes place is through procurement. So when public sector is doing procurement they are basically doing it with someone in private sector. So if at all if it's something as basic as a bribe, the person paying a bribe is not from the public sector, from private sector. So the thing is that you cannot have public sector corruption without a player in the private sector. All right. We thought I think it's time for me not to bring in barrier. But the corruption index for Kenya is at the rate of 143. That is where we stand. And when we consider countries like Botswana they are far much better than we are doing. We cannot consider, we can of course consider the population, of course, looking at South Africa, Nigeria, but Kenya is at 143. Nigeria is at 144 and the population is quite significant. What is not happening? Well, good morning and thank you for having me on the show today. And I can see that in Kenya there is a lot of hard work when it comes now to corruption, not even on fighting. People are working hard to be corrupt. People are working hard to be corrupt and I think all the systems are favoring corruption in the country because when you look at even the three arms of the government from the executive, the legislature and even the judiciary first, let's look at the executive. What is it that, what roles have they put to implementation such that we have a good will from top, from the president to the cabinet to fight corruption. We are seeing that these are the same people who are employing and recycling people of corruption cases and we have seen them even from the ones who are with the scandals previously that the same people have been brought back to the government on the legislation side. Do we have strong laws which are there to make sure that even those people are corrupt and even those people with intention to be corrupt, they are scared enough. I think that the punishment for corruption is not punitive enough to scare anyone. Actually it has become like a reward because looking at the governors and the senators, we have people who have long history of corruption and these are the same people who have wandered either with votes or even with planned state positions. Exactly, but now we have now changed the lens that even we as common monainchi we have a role to play in terms of fighting the corruption and that's why we think that as we are talking of other people from even the other arms, let's look at even the common monainchi, what role do we have as the people. This is now we change the narrative and the paradigm, we have a paradigm shift whereby we start with integrity to start with us so that the people in trust with the leadership, these are the people with clear integrity issues and no corruption. Alright, Kaberia talking about the paradigm shift that you need to have. My question is Kaberia, we have seen the president coming out category clear and saying that we are going to fight corruption to our best. He brought in DPP in all in Haji, we have seen so much radical changes. We have seen arrest and even the latest we have seen people being evacuated from their offices. Well, I think to be honest and you know we are all living in this country we know we understand the politics and workplace inside and out of this. There is a very big difference of starting out in public holding a microphone like what I'm doing and seeing that we are fighting corruption and there's another arm whereby you don't just speak but to move with action. Having a DPP is not enough. Having maybe a DCI strong decision is not enough but now we need to see you know when you are the president you are in charge of the government and the state. You should move more from just threatening it drawing ones which are scaring but also coming and see what action are you taking as the president because president can veto powers and do so many things but now the president himself is the one who is appointing those people who have been in the corruption. We've seen him even recycling some of the commissioners like allow me to mention Kazunku Kambi. Kazunku Kambi was saktas as he is sometime back because of some corruption at the NSSF but now the same person has been recycled to bring him the same corruption as a commissioner in the National Land Commission. This is a presidential appointee so I can't see a good will or a strong will from the president himself to fight corruption. This is just a narrative to Shuga Koti Dings just to flavor beings to put some chocolate so that we can be able to see that he is fighting corruption but on the ground we need to fight.  He has talked about several issues about the system and the laws and everything that comes with it. Do you think the government has put across stringent measures to try and combat corruption? When you talk about measures one thing the most fundamental is the law. I think in Kenya the law that we have currently is enough to work with. What is lacking is implementation and what is just mentioned about the good will. With the current law we have a good framework on paper we have offices that are supposedly independent but the good will is where the problem is. Over the last two years we've seen a lot of publicity in terms of the executive and also from the president himself in terms of the support but still we have a long way to go. Why is it that through our system we are unable to punish offenders? What happens when you're looking at any vice? A human being will want to rationalize that is this thing beneficial or not? If it's beneficial and he said about rewarding see if I'm rewarded for being corrupt I'll continue being corrupt and even the one who is not corrupt will say everyone knows he's corrupt he was hounded out of office or he stole this and that but then after going through the processes he's still being rewarded. So you have more people even now looking at it as a positive as something they want to engage in because the reward is there. We will be talking about the three arms of the government especially the judiciary which has been quite alleged with so much of issues but let me bring in Asa and Asa I want you to talk about the issue of we have been talking about the public sector let's talk about the private sector and the issue of corruption and fraud what's your take on it? Okay good morning and thank you for the opportunity I'd like to first say that the notion of that fraud and corruption happens in the private sector is not 100% because I think it's the same way it's been perpetrated in the public sector is the same way that it's been perpetrated in the private sector and people tend to dwell so much on what's in the public and forget the private the private sector I mean and thus the perpetrators of fraud in the private sector they tend to understand that these guys do not even look into us they do not even try to recover our assets yet we are perpetrating behind closed doors and all the focus is on the public sector so as we are looking at fighting corruption and fraud we should also consider the fact that things are happening in the private sectors the perpetrators know that the private sector is closed and that people are just dwelling in one sector Do you think the private sector is far much worse than the public? I can say it's far much worse but it's just behind the public sector Kabere lemi bring on board because I understand also in the private sector what she is mentioning about the private sector do you think there is something need to address? Well I agree with you that the private sector is not left behind when it comes to even matters of corruption and all that simply because as it clearly put it we have you know government does business with the private sector and as a matter of procurement government cannot procure things directly from other manufacturers in one way they need to come now to the private sector these are the limited companies and all that now looking at two factors which are so much affected by the corruption one is the procurement and the other one is the human resource human resource in terms of employment we've seen a lot of nepotism tribalism and all that and it's a pattern which you see it's recurring in so many private sectors that some of these people at the top either having people from their tribes and all that that's corruption by itself it's the other side on the procurement I mean the private sector I run a consultancy company and some time when I even try to bid for tell us from the government there are so many bottlenecks which are put for you so as to make you vulnerable to pay the price which even a simple document as even the pre qualification and all that always omit that the process has been made so rough and vigorous such that now you have something which you should get in hours it's made to take days so you'll be vulnerable even when someone ask you for a bribe and not everyone who has the ethics and the moral standards to even resist that so it's something which is there touching the both hands but it's mostly driven by the public sector it's the public sector which drives the corruption in the private sector simply because they have put it as a blackmail for you to be able to penetrate this or this then you really need to talk to our rules so that's something which is there and it's just in black and white it's a matter of fact which as the situation is now Alright with what you've mentioned Elsa do you think it's time that we redefine what corruption and fraud is because most of the people probably even them who are some of us who are watching they think corruption is just a matter of stealing billions of money and then you are walking out here as mentioned in a potism has talked about even so much do you think it's time that we really talk about what corruption really is? Yes I think it's high time that as a nation as a country we should start if amending the acts whatever perception is out there for corruption we should put clear stance on what corruption and bribery and fraud is as a nation and as a country Do you think greed is why we are having increased cases of corruption? Yes It all comes to greed because for a corrupt person to go into corruption he or she must have a motive and greed is one of the motive that drives to corruption and all other fraudulent issues College do you think greed should be addressed in as much as we are taking corruption? Actually yes but it's at a very basic level it's at at home You see the things that someone doesn't just become corrupt one day it's a journey Right they begin young That's why you see the cultural system where religion comes in and so on things that are supposed to form children as they grow up they are basically providing stepping stones of the foundation Now what happens is if the focus is so much of its mind we are killing the communal aspect of things you just take it as an example you go to an estate where people live In our traditional setting people used to live together now we live in single dwellings this is my compound this is my gate now it goes ahead to now what I was talking earlier about the lifestyle and the good things of life the more you want the good things for yourself then you are directly to work hard to try and achieve those things but then the more when you achieve what happens is that I want a bicycle when I get a bicycle I feel that this bicycle is not nice I want a motorbike and then I want a car and then I want a bigger car and all that as a human beings we tend to want good things things are just as time is going by you may overdo it everybody has greed in themselves as in wanting things to satisfy themselves as individuals but then if it gets to a point that you fail to see the bigger picture that you are living in a society and its communal that even for example if I have a mansion next to a slam you get it am I living well because the mansion is actually like a factory and its more like even a prison so what happens is when you don't control your greed you will get those things that are satisfying you but around you if there is a people who lack the property he may end up biting and then what happens when corruption is concerned is that you want to get more as I said security and all that but then you are stealing for example from the public all these things all the good things that you want from yourself for yourself and your family you are living with these other people that you are selling from you have a 4x4 machine but the road at the portal which everyone else is using you are getting so the level of greed is a big factor when you are looking at the dark side of things when you are looking at investigations and fraud specifically pressure any form of pressure is one of the things that can make someone become fraudulent and there is good pressure you see when you want to pay school fees you need to pay rent so everyone has some pressure meaning everybody has the potential of being fraudulent because of that pressure but then it becomes too much and the pressure is now negative you see when you want is it a question of how you handle the pressure or rather it's a question of how to just go and steal and solve the situation and move on with life I think everything should be measured too much of anything is bad you're getting and if your pressure is coming from advice you need to satisfy it if you cannot satisfy it from legitimate you need to satisfy that pressure all right Collins let me come to you Asa he has mentioned about culture and upbringing and you of course mentioned about the same Aliland my question is should we really be blaming the government or should we be bringing the parents who are bringing up these children in the context of failure in terms of how we build corruption we can put the blame on both because on looking at the government it all comes to the culture that it has given us as little kids our children growing up what do they find what do they find other people doing what do they find people that they look up to doing it's all about the culture and if my government is corrupt maybe my family is not corrupt I'll grow up in a family that is not corrupt I agree but what will happen when I leave my family and go out to the corrupt government a corrupt government that I have to pay to get a job I have to pay to get a certificate I have to pay even to see someone you know I might come from a non-corrupted family but once I enter the market and find the government or the society or even the private sector that is corrupt then the culture I'll get you know bad morals what they do to the good morals they corrupt so it's two way now that it's two way let me come to Kiberia the ECC was constructed in 2011 from the Kenyanya Anti-Corruption Commission and now we have seen several arrests but as of now verdicts remain with the judges what is not working well I think we've seen a lot of changes in the ECC and some it's even drew the resignation of the commission of the chair like we hand kinesu and before kinesu we hand mumamatemu and then that's now at least wabukala at least has served for some quite a longer time but now looking at for ECC to really function they really need to be a lot of goodwill and support from both the judiciary the legislation because ECC their works is just limited for them just from the investigations and even to some extent in the prosecution draw the DPP but now when it comes to that's left now to the judiciary and now that's why we have we have seen Ayujigap because we've seen ECC doing some internal investigations they have done various documents going even abroad exactly going even abroad they present DPP and the other side will do a very good work and even ensuring the prosecution is done very fast now when it goes to the judiciary now that's the time we are hearing of some funny finds and some things which really which really cannot be able to stand on that sometimes they claim that the evidence is not substantive enough to support the case which I don't think is the situation we've seen that even somebody who is corrupt and with the cases of what the billions is then are fine of 50,000 so it means that whenever I'm stealing let me steal with the 50,000 on top so that that can be able to cater for the fine and the legal fees so we are seeing some mediocrity in that and I think for the ECC to be very functional and strong let's have a much sectoral support all the way from just executive I know there's a lot of the backstops with the executive because there's a lot of power in the presidency president has a lot of powers to control various things what motion the president do? well one thing on the president when looking at the powers of the president itself even the ECC itself we've seen the way president himself look at what the good will has given to the DCI the other day in safari pak attendant the tax payers day and the president I publicly stated that I have given a lot of support and have a lot of confidence with the DCI and the DPP and we see that these two gentlemen cannot and no need to urge they are so close to the president there's a lot of support and the good will they are getting such that if DPP cannot arrest you you cannot make a phone call to the president to protect you simply because this person is given like that same powers and privileges which are like by the president but now when it comes now to the ECC matters of corruption sometime you see a lot of protection the other day we saw some politicians members of parliament who are being investigated but because they are aligned to this party or to this community you'll see that there are other powers from the presidency when I say the president is not even the president is the executive when they are coming trying to interfere with the cases they even trying to do some exoneration of the person even before the judiciary takes over so I think presidents should give a very strong good will through his powers and even through the systems that he is controlling what are the systems that you think the president should be focusing deeply on well I think one is the ECC itself one looking at even the budget of ECC and the president has even power to lobby is the party leader of let's say Jubilee which is the majority stake in the parliament and which again he will be able to lobby for them even to get more funding and more support again looking at the direct of public prosecution we also need the DC and the national police service but now there are some reforms which goes beyond the budget and the financial issue they just need a good will for look at the way what Michuki did Michuki to bring the sanity in the matatu sector he did not even require a budget it is required a strong voice and firmness for him to say that I've given an ultimatum of 48 hours or 2 weeks I want to see all the vehicles with safety belts people complied again has not the same when we had the digital migration some people are protesting but finally it happened so that's now the strong will we need from the president just from threat something which is actionable and miserable do you think that can work for the public private sector rather? we need that aggressiveness and boldness because at the end of the day it's the tone at the top whatever the top says shall be implemented the tone is strict the tone is implemented colleagues what do you take on that should we really employ that ok what I'll say is I have a different way of looking at it when you look at ESCC I think most of the investigations ESCC, DCI, they are focused towards criminal persecution meaning you want to punish them on so I've stolen 100 million you go through a process of punishing me how does it go they investigate they summon they define the process they go to the DPP he agrees he takes you to court witnesses come and all that the magistrate of the judge will make a verdict will make a ruling if I have 100 million in my pocket I have a serious watchest to number one manipulate the entire process or pay people or come even to media to shape public opinion but if I don't have that money I cannot do that so why am I saying this I think the ESCC should be focused towards recovering the money punishing is good because if for example you just frozen my assets all my accounts as the case is going on you say I don't have money to stay around and you say I start feeling the pain of stealing which of course has happened before we have seen even the KEMBU governor his accounts were frozen we have seen even him shutting down his company just here right next to us which has happened but now I want us to come now let's exempt ESCC out of the discussion now let's talk about the role and the responsibility of young people in combating corruption and fraud what is their role what is their place young people I think they are the most unfortunate group in our society right now they are the majority but they hold the least stake let's start from our government and the political city how has the government formed via election what is election all about representation the person who has the most numbers to represent the youth have the numbers meaning they play a big role in electing whoever is in office from president to the MCA now during political mobilization it's actually the youth who are mobilized most of the time the mobilization that's the beginning of corruption voter bribery paying money to you see all the things that happen we call electoral practices but they are the beginning because if you go through that process corrupt people youth are being paid money to fight among themselves or to go stone a candidate do all that you are having a candidate who is ready that's their style when they go into office that's what they are going to do and then secondly on elections and youth to do all that and to manage this politics it requires resources so what's happening the money that has been stolen or illicit money is used to finance the youth during the electioneering period so already if the youth are supposed to they can say no they mobilize themselves and choose who they want they can even have one of their own so that they are in and have a stake they have a stake in representation because political campaigns are expensive if I come and splash 50 million, 100 million, 200 million to be elected why am I doing it you see every is an entrepreneur for any shielding you are putting in a venture you need to get returns it has to come back in profit so the thing is that all this money that flows around election mostly goes to the youth is seed money for someone running into office and when this person gets into office the youth will be happy that they have given money and all that they need to get a return on their investment how do they get it public covers so I think for the youth the level of awareness first of all of how what happens in politics during election and how it influences how they are governed on a day to day basis is very important I want to bring you and ask this question we have seen Botswana bringing in measures of how to sensitize young people on how to deal with corruption and from a tender age in their juniors course they are being told about how to deal with corruption should we really employ the same here in Kenya or should we exactly do I think we should employ the same here in Kenya we should start teaching our children from a tender age about corruption because I can say even at for the small kids they might not know that they are engaging in corruption but small deeds like if you give me your pencil if I use your pencil for this class I'll give you Mandazi during break time I know that whatever they are doing is corruption they just think that since they want to get something they need to ask for something in return so I think education is one of the thing that we should focus on and also awareness in our schools not only even in seminars or grown up talks even kids and meeting them in schools having campaigns that cut across secondary kindergarten secondary school I think is a good way to go Are there any other measures that we can take? Yes there are many measures especially for the private sector there are many measures if I can say from fraud perspective as a fraud examiner I think at the top will really can do a lot of changes in an organization even employ educating employees to be aware of what fraud is what corruption is they think that corruption is just bribing a policeman corruption is even your thoughts can also be corrupted not just the deeds but even the thoughts can be corrupted so I think awareness for both employees and maybe the the public can also be a good way to go in mitigating all that it's quite a topic of concern and I don't know Kaberia what do you think about the issue because it's affecting the youth so much considering that the fact that young people are the biggest portion of Kenya's population according to the recently released census what should we address in terms of corruption and the young people what should we invest so much in the young people to reduce corruption in Kenya well thank you so much and one of the things which makes me happy is that and it's really one of the channels which is really advocating and creating awareness and giving space for young people to behave even to speak like we were speaking this one tool whereby we are trying to create awareness and getting some platform to iron out our issues and I wish other media stations are also able to advocate this and borrow this leaf but not looking at the young people as you said these young people are so vulnerable to so many things unemployment and you will find out that unemployment in Kenya is so high at 67% and when you look at all the resources it will go back to corruption this unemployment when you are not financially stable you are so vulnerable to anything which will give you finances so that means if a politician want to raise to power and you are given 50 bob sometimes it's not the mistake of these young people for them to get the 50 bob as per say to be honest about this system these people are so vulnerable they don't have anything meaningful to bring them an income at the end of the day so for us to be able now to bring our own changes young people one is you can be able to fight that by first of all looking for ways of even empowering yourself I think when you are empowered as an individual you reduce the vulnerability sometime corruption it does not really come up even on the grid level because before it comes to grid it means that you should be having something and there is something you want to get but as young people they are positioned by they have nothing even if you multiply zero it will still be zero and so most of the young people they are positioned they want to be on step one but now when you look at even like the way you are talking about providing a police office or if they have a salary what they want is to have more but young people what they have is zero and they are trying to get something but now for you to be able not to be vulnerable for example like for employment and all that I mean the training space at business advisory and I tell young people please look for something just don't despise any form of work if it's selling mandizia, vokando whatever thing because when you have your 50 shillings and a politician gives you that 50 you will have a reason to say no but if you do not have a reason to say no as much as you may have the values they integrated the ethics you will be so much vulnerable and at some point you will think I've seen so many no's and the ones who say yes they are really doing something better than me so the first thing as a young people empower yourself in a means that you'll be able to make an income so after then the other thing is not to change the lens you see it's very unfortunate that with the young people we say that we are the majority but when it comes to making decisions you know we are the most elite you know we have the internet we understand the law more than anyone but now when it comes to elections we have not been able to change that lens to bring the objectivity because we are voting in people who are giving us now the money and you know the ones who has made a name there you know the most famous guy so if you are able to be objective and say let's say these are the issues we are talking about we are young people we need employment for us to achieve this we need somebody to be able to bring in a bill or so on about employment so we are now talking about the things of issues so what the young people need to change first of all our mindset to be able now to look at the issues and not even just things beyond money the money and the tribe we have mentioned something about corruption being a whole something it entails the government and even the young people and everyone else do you think as citizens we have played our responsibility in fighting corruption well I can say some citizens alright some citizens actually the number is smaller than I may even be able to put it and you know the reason why is that you know we are citizens there are things we call the models there are so many like even in the media there must be someone in the media who you look up to when you say when I grow up though I know you've already grown up but now there is always that somebody looking up for direction and for vision and unfortunately most of these people we look up these are now our leaders the politicians sometimes we as the community I heard somebody saying that this you are good as long as you are stealing for us you know there is a community which say now somebody student public and say you know I was stealing for you and people are clapping because I was in government I stole money but it's not bad because I was stealing to help you and now this is what now the citizens have done as long as you are stealing and helping us now you are good that's not corruption I think the public also they have not played a big role because the people have looked at for even direction and the people have given us the wrong image of what the marking scheme should be so but now for us to be able to fight as citizens corruption one thing I always talk about is ethics integrity and the morals you know the mayor of fabric is so broken when we stand on that to be strong enough and we have had some reasonable voices the activists the others who have been able to stand and say no to corruption some people have been asked for a bribe from a policeman and they have refused to pay the bribe and they are ready to face the consequences but now are we ready to face the consequences so that now should be the big question for me I am ready I don't know about others alright thanks very much for that insight we get apparently to wind up because of the interest of time we are farmers spent but I want to give each and everyone of you a bit 30 seconds each and I want to begin with Collins you have done so much research investigations and what would you rather recommend that we do so as to try and mitigate corruption and fraud I think something very simple for everyone in society I don't think we are mad enough or we are annoyed by corruption I was just looking at this you see now we are interacting with us on Twitter when people are annoyed with a product or something there is no matter what venting and you can see how people are annoyed in this country but when it comes to I think we tolerate corruption and we are not very annoyed the moment as a society everyone is annoyed from the elite to the person on the ground it will mean you are actually making the space smaller or rather the room for corruption because the guys who are corrupt you see a policeman will take a bribe today because he took it yesterday and he was paid when it becomes difficult to get people who are paying they also stop asking but then the tolerance level for me is what we need to work on so we have been tolerating corruption each and every single day being a political analyst and of course being on the field in terms of private sector what would you advise? I think what I would advise let me speak to the young people because I know this is the biggest followership for this channel I will never emphasize the need for you to empower yourself and to join association which have a common voice for reasoning for example we have the Kenya private sector alliance we have the Kenya national chamber for commerce let's not ask the question of why it has been functional to some extent because I can say it has been functional because always they do have the round table with the president though not everyone needs to go there but there is a platform for you to be able to raise your views there are other things like lobbying for you to get businesses just a networking forum but now because when you are in an umbrella you have a strong voice as compared to one voice of Kabere here when your voice is in bring you are able to champion and ding switch of common interests so my advice is young people please as much as we are speaking about unemployment as much as we are talking about waiting for jobs please one of fighting corruption is being empowered as an individual start a business do something even your talent can be your business I know it's not a business segment but something which I know it can be able to assist you are economically empowered you are less vulnerable alright from an entrepreneur's mind of course alright many thanks and now winding up with the ULC let me ask you are a forensic or rather a fraud examiner investigator you have dealt so much for some time now should we really employ tough measures and more stringent measures in combating corruption and fraud I can say yes and no at the same time yes because it might work for others no because as long as I have a drive whatever measure you put there cannot stop me so I think as a conclusion what I could say is that we should look at some of as a youth from a youth perspective we should look at other youth activists for example like Boniface whatever he has been saying he has been very strict on the fight of corruption and bribery but what are youth doing condemning him saying if you were elected you would be the same so I think we should believe in the people who are trying to fight corruption and we should take a stand and say no to corruption as individuals not even as an organization but it all starts with the individual alright that has been of course Kiberia, Elsa and of course Collins Ojembo from OCS and many thanks for making such an honor to have you of course well that has that's it for now we wind up and we call it day for youth and politics it's always a pleasure to have you from that's time and this time now fire comes up next and we get to have so much land up for you my name is Garanja Alex we get to do this again next week on Monday see you tomorrow for entrepreneurship Tuesday
