Our next speaker another font a politically correct thought is Tom De Lorenzo a name I'm sure many of you are familiar with you know Tom is one of those rare minds where he's able to work At a very high academic level in two different disciplines in economics and in history Which is which is actually a remarkable achievement in and of itself, but in terms of Of his own life and his own courage. He's taken on two very powerful Groups in America. He's taken on the Hamiltonian Federalists Who still plague us today in a million different guys's and of course? He's taken on the tremendous cult of Lincoln, which in academic circles is basically a firing squad So for that we commend him We're so glad to have dr. Tom De Lorenzo with us today Tom Thank you all for coming and thanks to all the the supporters of the Mises Institute and also the future Supporters who will donate before you leave today that that's a requirement by the way We are not going to let you out of the room And you and you cannot have a lunch either and so well You know when when with the worldwide collapse of socialism in the late 80s and early 90s The Marxist left did not just throw in the towel. I remember at the time I was at the University of Tennessee and there was a Marxist Economist on the faculty and I ran into him in the parking lot right in the middle of all this happening with Boris Yeltsin Bombing the Russian Parliament and things like that and and I said John What do you can do now Brick lair carpenter? You know, what's what's what's the future for you? And he said oh no no no we're we're stronger than ever now because we're no longer associated with all these bad guys Chesco and Stalin and all that and so in the and so after after all There are the the Marxist left took two different routes You know, they didn't give up one is they they they paid attention to the socialist economist Robert Heilbrunner Who wrote an article in the New Yorker magazine in 1990? I think it was October 1990 in which he said Yeah, socialism Mises was right I think one of the articles he wrote was actually called the title was Mises was right about socialism And so you would think that meant give up on socialism But but no he said we need that we need to work harder at it We need because it always was about totalitarian control And so it never was about helping the poor helping the laboring class or anything like that So it was always about control and so how do we reassert our control over people's lives? He said well, you know socialism was always sold the name of helping the people and He essentially said people Schmeeple the hell with the people We're for the bugs and the ants and the snakes and all that stuff the planet So let's let's sell socialism now in the name of saving the planet and so and so hence of the watermelons were born a Watermelons or a green on the outside red on the inside And so there's a branch of the Marxist left that all became environmentalists all of a sudden and they're promoting basically centrally planned economies under socialism under the guise of Saving the planet the other branch became cultural Marxist They gave up on the old class struggle between the working class and in the capitalist class and they invented some new classes There's the oppressor class and the oppressed class The oppressors are white heterosexual males and the oppressed class is everybody else Pretty much, you know the whole victim thing and so that's a good way to to to eliminate dissent and and exert totalitarian control over society and so they had those two classes now I've been a university economics professor since 1979 I finished my PhD when I was 24 and I've been at it ever since and all For about the first 30 years of my career every August the university administration, and I've taught at seven different universities The university administration would send out a memo about What the average SAT score is of the incoming freshman and they would usually brag that it's up 10 points or something like that and it would usually be accompanied by a promise that we're going to increase the standards Even more so that we'll have better qualified students and of course the faculty like this Did you hear this and that went on for about 30 years of my career? Do you know year in year out the bragging about? How you know the higher SAT scores and then about six years ago at my current employer Loyola University, Maryland They all of a sudden said we're no longer requiring SAT scores at all as the entrance requirement did away with them and And the result of that I noticed It's been successful Because in the website of the university website this year in August instead of instead of giving us any information About the academic qualifications of the incoming freshman class it said the incoming freshman class is the most diverse class in the history of the college and so that's the objective and so So egalitarianism has become the new secular religion in the the academic seminaries where you send your children and grandchildren and Diversity I think of the word diversity is it's basically some sort of quotas Is really I call it the mating call of the academic administrators and in today's world When the cultural Marxist took over my university about ten years ago the new president came in and He started giving the president's message started saying things like a bemoaning the unequal Distribution of resources around the world all of a sudden and so you know from each according to his ability To each according to his need is his motto. His name is Brian Lanane and His and his academic vice president who's the top academic officer of the university When he had his first meeting with the business school faculty where I teach He looked around the room and he said there are too many people in here who look like me too many white guys in other words and The minority faculty were extremely uncomfortable about that I was looking at my my minority colleagues and they were there was like didn't know where to hide Because what what he was basically saying was he was telling people like me you don't really belong here because you're here because of white privilege and Also, he was telling the minority faculty. Well, maybe you don't belong here either because you're here from affirmative action You know, you don't really belong there, you know, and so You know, so I think that's why one of the reasons why they seem so so uncomfortable And so and then he denounced he announced that diversity would be his number one goal in his you know In his reign as academic vice vice president So that's become the sort of the number one objective of a lot of universities You know more than academics or learning education education Schmeducation is as the attitude some of these people seem to have When they when they do that That's why and I I did call it the mating call of academic administrators in an article on blue Rockwell comm Referring to this guy as Tim Snyder is his name Timothy Snyder and he's no longer the academic vice president of my university He's gonna He's done his thing And so so and so silencing dissent is now praised and taught It's taught to students and it's praised as the morally right thing to do a lot of my students are totally unaware of the case the argument for free speech and academic freedom and in one of the one person who's responsible for this and Unless you know this starts really starts I think in the 60s as a lot of bad things Started in the 60s and there's an academic who's described on the on the web Variously as the evangelist of cultural Marxism He's also called a celebrated intellectual who taught at Harvard Yale in Columbia. His name is Herbert Markuza Mar see you se And he was he's really is sort of one of the gurus of political correctness among the the academic elites that run today's most of today's universities in the United States and How did he become a celebrated intellectual? Well? He wrote a 1955 book called Eros and civilization in which he advised young people the following and I quote Don't work have sex And I guess it never occurred to him that the two things are not mutually exclusive But so so it's idiocy like this that makes you a celebrated intellectual in Harvard I guess and He also denounced the scientific method in science the science and the scientific method are the enemy He called it quote the enemy because quote it denies the reality of utopia and by utopia He meant communism. He was a common. He was a Self-described communist and so it denies the reality of communism what sure does Especially economic science, you know Macy's great book socialism explained that a long long time ago Socialism can never work as an economic system Okay, he opposed freedom of speech and academic freedom for the same reason that it produced too many criticisms of communism You know and so let's just shut everybody up about this and and only give our students positive images of it And it reminds me of my university. I've created a new course called capitalism and its critics It was my way of sneaking Austrian economics into the curriculum and and it's been around I've had it for about 10 years now the this this this course and I use one, you know, sometimes I've used the communist manifesto, you know I I teach the students here's what the bad guys have said and then here's what Macy says about this or anything So go back and forth. Here's what the environmental lunatics say and use there's George recent over here Something like that and and so when I use the communist manifesto, I had a student tell me, you know, please This is the fifth time I've been assigned the communist manifesto at this University But but all all his other professors in philosophy and history Use it as sort of a roadmap to the future, you know, they I use it as a historical artifact and But but to the others the other people said, you know, wouldn't be nice if we had a society like this This student told me what his philosophy professor said and so so too many criticisms He also said this there's no need for logic debate and free exchange of ideas for Marxism provides the answers It reminds me of Al Gore's statement that there's settled science about global warming, you know And I mean the whole I the whole phrase of settled science is is it's so anti science. It's it's It's unbelievable. There's nothing is ever settled in science because all these statistical studies are based on probabilities You know statistics is not it's not physics. It's all based on probabilities And there's always a new hypothesis to come around the corner to question the established view view point That's how we progress in our learning. And so this whole idea that science can ever be totally settled It's pretty dubious. You know, it is in some areas, you know in physics, especially but but not not something like the climate And so and so other views like conservative and libertarian views the views of people like myself and Jeff and Tom Woods Should not be tolerated on campus. Markuza said because they support the status quo And and this has led to the widespread belief in academia today in the United States That only the oppressed deserve tolerance and free speech and academic freedom That's why when they waged these malicious and vicious campaigns of libel and slander Against campus speakers who with whom they oppose they think they're doing the morally righteous thing You know because you know if someone like me shows up at an Ivy League school And they work on organize a protest or shop me down or the campus police have to have to come in or something Ruin the event now. They think that's the morally righteous thing to do because I'm a spokesman for the oppressor class And and I'm going to criticize the oppressed and that was one of Markuza's ideas And he also said that students especially must be indoctrinated in this type of thinking that that only the oppressed deserve free speech That's how we can overturn the status quo And I see all of this fully in place It's so many American universities these days that this and this all comes from this this character Herbert Markuza Another person who I call the high priestess of cultural Marxism is a woman named Catherine McKinnon Is a law professor at the University of Southern California at least she was last time I looked her up on the web I'm who knows we academics are sort of in a sort of like nomads sometimes and skip around different places and And she's known for the view that it has been embraced by a lot of universities that that dissenting views can create a hostile work environment and If you create a hostile work environment for your co-workers that is so hostile that they are incapable of performing their job Then you can be fired That's that's the new the new the thing and in and I was told I was Warned about this myself by Timothy Snyder the academic vice president. I mentioned it at the beginning After after the the president of my university maliciously libeled to Walter Block My friend Walter Block in a speech he gave at my university years ago You know, I've set up a meeting with Snyder that talk talk about this and And and so and I you know in the meantime after Walter was libeled, which I'll explain it in a few minutes What the university didn't understand was that one of my very good friends in Baltimore It was a the radio talk show hoe the late Ron Smith who had a three-hour talk show drive time three to six every day And it was broadcast all the way up to New York and Connecticut You know the big radio station and Ron had Walter and me on for six hours Just just lambasting and destroying these people in their in their their antics And so you so the academic vice president wanted to talk to me about this And he told me that all this was creating a hostile work environment And I told him my response was that I'm the one who now has the hostile work environment And it's because of you that's exactly exactly what I told him You know the day before this happened I had a good work environment, but now you know the whole university Was you know in an uproar over Walter's Tribial comments that were blown up into something evil, but I'll explain that in a little bit And so so dissenting views create a hostile work environment. So essentially what what she's saying Is that you should teach your children sticks and stones will break my bones But names and words are even worse So that's that's the new motto that we should that we should teach And another trick that the academic bureaucrats use and they use this at my University during this whole fiasco with Walter Block was to make grandiose speeches In favor of academic freedom So they'll get the president or some of the academic vice president or something like that To make a speech or issue a an article on the student newspaper about their everlasting devotion to academic freedom and free speech As they crush academic freedom free speech among those who disagree with their extreme left-wing crazy views of political correctness And so and they've developed the the tactic that no student should ever Hear anything That is insensitive or may hurt his or her feelings It's the the infantilization of college students is the business american universities are in these days as a result Even the new york times has protested this if you can believe that In an article on march 21st of this year in the new york times Was about Some things have been going on at brown university brown university has as one of the universities that has led the way in politically correct insanity and what they do if a If a controversial speaker is about to show up, you know, if if god forbid tom woods would ever be invited to brown university This is what might happen They set up what's called a safe room Safe room you go to this room and you can feel safe From from tom from whatever tom would have to say Okay, and this is from the new york times i'm reading this and what is in this safe room So students can say oh my god tom woods is coming to campus. I better head for the safe room lock the door I'm not making this up. This is from the new york times. There are cookies cookies coloring books Play dough calming music calming music pillows Blankets videos of frolicking puppies Of course trauma experts. We got trauma experts So new york times march 21st of this year trauma experts You know just in case some dissenting views and of course, uh, the faculty are now Taught that if there's anything controversial on your syllabus You know the the students are asked to read put a trigger warning on it You know warning warning you might this you might something might be insensitive here Of course, this doesn't apply to all the left wing clap trap that they read You know if you sign the communist manifesto or or dos capital these are you don't need a trigger warning for that What could be controversial about that? Nothing and so so the so and so the and so the academic left has adopted all kinds of mascots And you can never criticize anything a mascot says or does And uh, and if and if and if anything that you say can be construed However remotely to be critical of one of the mascots Well, then you will be granted as a racist the sexist a homophobe and on and on and on Those are these are the tools of the libeler And so and you know and you've all heard examples of this. I guess you know our friend haunts hoppa Who uh who was mentioned earlier? Giving a lecture to an economics class at the unlv where he taught for 20 years And he was giving a lecture on time preference And he was given examples of a high time preference of the type of people who don't save very much for the future And who spend a little more of their money now and he had a long list of the type of people that you might expect You know elderly people who have already put their kids through school and so forth. They're not saving a lot anymore People who never had children They're not saving for their children's education because they never had children things like that and he included homosexuals in there Who don't have children. He said homosexuals with children Different different group and of course the lesson was that there's nothing inherently good or bad about high time preference low time preference It's just your preference And he was basically kicked out of unlv for that some some one student in the class Went to the university administration and complained that it was insensitive to to gay people To to suggest that they might have a high time preference And so and it ended up You know causing him great grief for an entire year There was an international letter writing campaign on haunts's behalf Even the secretary of state of italy wrote a letter to the who haunts knows Wrote a letter to the unlv administration telling them to you know, cut it out. This is ridiculous And but it didn't matter it didn't matter It was all they they they wanted they they thought they could get him Because of his economic views this this this had nothing to do with what haunts said in that one class You know they were they were out You know murray rothbard was gone by this time and he taught at unlv also But haunts was the one outlier. You know, he was the one dissenter that they they just could not tolerate having him there And with the walter block fiasco in my university Walter gave a very mainstream talk on the economics of discrimination.  Okay. I pay the man 90,000 a year and I pay the woman 50,000 a year because i'm discriminating Well, I create a profit opportunity for my competitors who can who can hire the women the woman away at 60 And they still make a 40 thousand dollar a year profit because she can generate a hundred thousand in revenue And then somebody else will hire her away at 70 or 80 and that's how competition in the marketplace Deloots the effect of discrimination. It does it doesn't eliminate it You know people have been discriminating against each other for thousands of years in one way or another But that's how the market penalizes Racial discrimination or sex discrimination in the job place. That's all he said And and again one student was sent there. It was all a setup He was sent there to try to detect something insensitive And so he went to the cultural marxist gang on campus Not me. I was a sponsor of the lecture He went to the cultural marxist gang and said it was insensitive You know what Walter blocks and then so the president of the university sent out an email to all faculty staff students and alumni Apologizing for the insensitive remark that was made, but he never said what the remark was That was made and so that's how they operate. That's how they operate But uh, but we we Walter and I prevailed in the end. We went on the radio for six hours We wrote dozens of articles on lou rockwell.com So much so that one of my students told me that the administration sent a memo to students saying don't read do lou rockwell.com It's a it's a hate speech Thing of course that that guaranteed that every single student would look up lou rockwell.com didn't it So lou probably has hundreds of additional readers as a result of of the of this this When the american enterprise institute Sponsored a debate a public debate on immigration policy The soviet poverty law center, which some people call southern poverty laws Although they don't practice law and they have an endowment of over 20 million dollars So they obviously don't help poor people either or they would give some of that away to poor people in montgomery where they're Alabama where they're located They they they said that a e i was mainstreaming hate You know mainstreaming hate by a debate when a group of police and military officers formed this group called oath keepers And what's the oath they said well? We all take an oath to defend the constitution And we're going to reaffirm that oath That's it. That's all we're doing They're a hate group. They lay the soviet poverty law center label them a hate group and the media and akadim by the way They treat the soviet poverty law center like they treat the pope You know these i have the greatest respect for these They call it the southern poverty law center and then they they say the a hate group. They'll call oath keepers a hate group When when ron paul was running for president the department of homeland security excuse me Under under jen and napolitano Issued a statement of press release saying that Cars with a ron paul for president bumper sticker Could be could i you could identify these people as likely terrorist threats And that came from the soviet poverty law center and and of course the big furor was Was dusted up over that and so they backed off and rescinded that they they took that off the website of the department of fatherland security you know And all of this is why chris rock and jerry seinfeld no longer perform their comedy acts on college campuses They gave up on it, you know, they're these are humorless Stalinists that run the college campuses these days And so there's no place for chris rock or jerry seinfeld On there seinfeld even had some 20 year old 20 year old nitwit write him a letter Instructing him on the proper way to deliver comedy to an audience if you can What what kind of education that that is that kid have to think that he had the the ability to lecture Jerry seinfeld on comedy Okay The final thing i want to say is you know, you know preparing this talk You know i taught a course on under the auspices of the mesis academy several times on high x famous book the road to serfdom I first taught it after Tom tom and tom woods and urie malzef our friend urie malzef appeared on glenn becks television show And talked about the road to serfdom In glenn beckett such a big audience it went to number one in sales on amazon.com the next day And so like that very day i put together a five week online course on the road to serfdom I thought it'd be very very popular and i taught it a few times And there's a chapter near the end of the road to serfdom called the end of truth And there are some good nuggets there that hayek wrote that i think are very very telling and educational about uh political correctness and the cultural marxists that run the american universities and so i'm going to read just a few of these things Hayek wrote that totalitarian propaganda Is destructive of all morals Because it undermines one of the foundations of all morals the sense of and the respect for the truth You know if we if we quit searching for the truth with all this censorship It just it doesn't just undermine the truth about whatever the subject is you're studying It's destructive of all morals because it's destructive of the sense and respect for the truth Another thing hayek said that's relevant i think He said in the disciplines dealing directly with human affairs and therefore most immediately affecting political views such as history law or economics The disinterested search for truth cannot be allowed in a totalitarian system These disciplines have in all totalitarian countries become the most fertile factories for the official myths Which the rulers use to guide the minds and wills of their subjects official myths And of course, that's one of the things the mesis institute has been doing for for 30 years 30 some years now is is Abolishing and destroying a lot of these myths And and searching for truth That's one of the things that really attracted me to the austrian school as a young student I was I was forced to read paul samuelson and all of the mainstream kansians And then I came across the austrians and it was even when I was 18 19 20 years old as a college student It was it was very apparent to me that there's a different approach here I thought these mainstream guys They're sort of just bragging about how much math they know and how much how confusing they can make the world seem But the austrians were very different They were all they had this relentless pursuit of the truth and they blended economics and history and philosophy and statistics and And that it was very obvious to me And so and so and so that's why I've been associated with the mesis institute for about almost for about 30 years now Because that's the enterprise It's it's confronting these official myths and through economic education And of course we stand on some very big shoulders of Of von mesis and hayek and rothbard and others Another thing hayek said in the road to serfdom. He said the word truth itself Causes to have its Ceases to have its old meaning It describes no longer something to be found With the individual conscience as the sole arbiter of weather in any particular instance the evidence warrants a belief It becomes something to be laid down by authority Okay, it's laid down by authority. They politically correct way of thinking In the walter block case, for example, you know why they why they became incensed over walter giving a very mainstream Talk about the economics of discrimination And by the way, walter blocks dissertation chairman at columbia many many years ago was gary becker And gary becker's doctoral dissertation at the university of chicago Was turned into a book called the economics of discrimination. So here's that his second generation economics professor basically repeating what he was taught in graduate school 40 years earlier And and he was maliciously libeled By university president for for it okay, and so Anyway, I just wanted to bring that point up and the final thing the hayek says is intolerance is openly extolled as I said at the beginning In this hayek writing this in 1943 And so and then the herbert marcusa back in the 60s was saying we should uh extoll or praise intolerance And and that's exactly what has happened now as far as as far as what can be done Well, of course speaking truth to power is what we do at the mesis institute In many ways with our educational programs, especially with young people and young people students I think are they are Incensed as much as anybody is when they understand that they've been lied to Used as political pawns Miseducated They don't like it And a lot of them sit back and tolerate all this political correctness has been my experience But they know what's going on A lot of them do not all of them are fooled by by by this relentless Drum beat of of political correctness at the universities a lot of my students that I've talked to they laugh at it They've seen us another another antique of the of the Of the campus socialists and things like that And so so it's not as hard as you would think to turn things around through education Because especially in economics Even just one simple example is not only the left wingers. I had one student who became my american economic history class And he was he was astounded. He said he said i'm a senior economics major I've taken all the economics courses except this one and I never knew there were criticisms of the fed that existed You know, you know, I've had money in banking monetary theory macroeconomics one macroeconomics two I didn't know there was criticisms of the fed And so so and he totally turned around he came to mesi's university and and and so And so he educated himself So we use economic education Economic education and in austrian economics is like To in the academic world is like flashing a christian cross in front of dracula That's the way i've always looked at it.  He you know, he makes all this money.  He's a columbia university professor now Why should he get upset over toms tom wood's book meltdown about the great recession or or anything? our friend bob murphy writes about About business cycles or something like that. He does the final Point i'll make about what can be done is ridicule I mean the story about the frolicking puppies at brown university and things like that We need to ridicule these things these people are doing as much as humanly possible or herbert marcusa saying Well, you can you can choose work or you can choose sex, but you can't have both You know, I think we need we need to ridicule a lot of what they're saying because it's very easy to ridicule that And uh, and that's been one of my main occupations for a long time is as a is ridicule Of these some of these bad ideas. So thank you very much for coming. I hope you have a good good afternoon


We've reached the moment that so many of you have been waiting for. Richard J. Dennis is a successful businessman, philosopher and philanthropist and an extraordinary advocate for free and more democratic societies. His support was absolutely critical to the early success of the Drug Policy Foundation and eventually the Drug Policy Alliance. The award named for him is given to the individuals who most epitomize loyal opposition to drug war extremism. So to present this year's Richard J. Dennis Drug Peace Award for outstanding achievement in the field of drug policy reform to Ethan Nadelman, please welcome, I'm very honored to welcome, DPA Board Chair Ira Glasser. So as Senator Booker just said, we have a lot of work to do, even as we celebrate the enormous amount of ground we've gained. And that about sums up the career and life of Ethan Nadelman.  And it isn't easy to think about how to sum up what Ethan Nadelman has achieved. So I thought about some analogies, and it seems to me that in our history every great social justice movement and movement for fundamental rights begins with the vision of a few people, a vision which at the outset seems highly improbable of being realized, unrealistic, even delusional. Think about it. It's 1909 and W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida Wells and a few other people, a handful really, start an organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. And their goal is to stop lynchings, their goal is to undo the subjugation of Jim Crow laws, their goal is to replace the law of Jim Crow with the civil rights legal infrastructure.  It's 1909 where there are peak lynchings every day, where the idea that there could ever be a time when Jim Crow laws vanished from the south was something you would have to be on a substance that is banned right now in order to even think about. Or think about 1920, the man named Roger Baldwin and a woman named Crystal Eastman and a few other people, a handful really, in a hotel room in New York, begin an organization called the American Civil Liberties Union, and their goal is to protect the entire bill of rights for everybody in the country all over the country. 35, 40 people, no budget, at a time when it was still a crime in this country to teach evolution, at a time when the Supreme Court, after 129 years after the bill of rights was passed as law, had never once, not once, struck down a law or a government action on First Amendment grounds, not once, when there was no freedom of religion, when there was no due process of law, when 90% of all the rights you wake up with and take for granted today didn't exist back then. They were going to do this for the whole country. Crazy, delusional. Or think of Margaret Sanger who in 1916 was arrested every other day in New York City for handing out leaflets to give women information about birth control and who opened up the first birth control clinic in the country in 1916. And a few years later started an organization called the American Birth Control League which changed its name a few years later into Planned Parenthood. And she had the crazy idea that women ought to be able to control their own bodies and that their economic progress and independence depended on it. Delusional. Or think of that handful of brave gay men in 1969, that early summer's day at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in New York. Were they there? I stand corrected, do you see? I always think I know history when I don't. And they had the illusion that they were just going to fight the cops if need be and that's what they did that day. And they had an illusion of trying to create equal rights of all kinds for LGBT people. I was in the city that day in 1969, newly at the ACLU, and it seemed like all the other movements delusional at the time. There isn't one of those movements that still doesn't have a long way to go. And there isn't one of those movements who made more progress to date than anybody at the time thought was possible. Ethan Nadelman stands in that tradition. In the 1980s, he came out of a faculty position at Princeton with a few other people along with him with the delusional idea that the war on drugs was an outrage to individual liberty and fundamental human rights and dignity and had to be stopped and could be stopped. In those days, like all the other movements, it seemed delusional. And like all the other movements, we sit here about 20 years later and we know we have very, very far to go yet, but it is also true. And I was there at the start, when he first started to talk about this, that there was almost no one who thought he wasn't being, if not delusional, quixotic. How is it possible to do that and turn that around? Well, here we are. And if you even said back then that there would come a day when 1,500 people from dozens of countries of all sexes and colors and inclinations and beliefs and religions would be united, connected together around that set of goals, even that achievement seemed impossible to imagine back then. So, of all the people who have ever gotten this Richard Dennis Award, none deserve it more than Ethan Needleman.  You can step down, but we know where you live. And that baton that I gave to Maria a few days ago, my God, you carried it so bravely and so brilliantly for such a long way to bring us all where we are today.


Hi everyone. This is Paul Lang describing a new course of the stocks wish called Creating a Trading Plan. There are a couple of things that have huge statistical relevance among traders. Number one, virtually all successful traders look back and credit the day that they formed a proper trading plan as being the key to their success. Second, we know that 95% of all traders do not have a real trading plan and we know the failure among these is huge. By a real trading plan I don't mean just some things that were thrown down in a piece of paper that is a copy and paste from some seminar that was taken. We're talking about a real effective plan that details all the things we're going to be looking at. This is a table of contents of things we'll be going over, why a trading plan is the key to success. It's critical to understand why you need this so that you do follow through on properly forming and using a trading plan. What the typical trader does, which is why so many traders fail, the link between psychology and trading, there's a lot of psychological issues in this class because that is what a trading plan is designed to do is to help eliminate the psychological issues. The benefits of a trading plan, the components of a trading plan of course, and follow up topics and then how to apply this and move forward once you've taken this class. If you're interested in this class, it's a three hour class that is taught on various dates both during the week and on the weekends. You can see our website or email info at thestockswish.com for our next class date. There are no prerequisites and the importance of this class can not be understated.

Y'all, we gotta make this super quick, but as you see by today's title, we are at Mariah's mom's house, and we have to make this super quick, but basically what I'm gonna be doing is I'm gonna be telling her mother, her legit blood mother, that I cheated on Mariah. I'm gonna tell her that when I was at Hooters. I'm gonna do the same thing that I did to Julia, but I'm gonna say the girl just kissed me. But I want you to say that. Cause I wanna say that I like slapped with her. I want it to be realistic. I'm gonna say today, I'm just gonna fill in the little tea, and like, I don't know what to do. Because she gave us like Christmas gifts, she gave us like, we were here for New Year's, so she gave it to Mariah. Also today's Mariah's birthday, so she gave Mariah's a bunch of birthday stuff. She got me a son-in-law blanket. I'm gonna use that as a perfect excuse to basically say like, I know I'm your future son-in-law. We're gonna get married in two months, but before I get married, I have to tell you a girl kissed me and I cheated on Mariah.  Y'all, this is great lighting in here. When we first met her mom, I know it sounds weird when we first met her mom, but back in the day, her mom and dad split up and they didn't talk to her mom much, but when we first got back in touch with her, we did a pregnancy prank on her, and she believed it so much. Getting nervous. That was like seven years ago, but like, she believed it every day. Let me just say, if she's anything like Mariah, she's gonna believe this 100%. I just gotta, what do you mean?  Yeah, I know I'm a gobble. Mom, that's your gobble. All right, we gotta do this. All right. I think you should sit over here. I'm gonna try to find a spot right now. You gotta go distract her. Can you go distract her? I'm gonna chest it like right here, but I needed to be close, but I can't talk loudly. Yes, you can. You can just set up right into there. All right, put it in this thing. Yeah, and then just call it on to my mic, and I'll help you. Yo, I'm so nervous right now. So you wanna call her in here and say, I need to talk to you about what they get from Mariah. Oh my God, and then I'm gonna tell her that I can't hear you. Yeah. But anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. I'm basically gonna be pulling her and sitting her down right here. I'm just gonna do less talking and I'm just gonna go and freaking do it because the more I think about it, the more I'm freaking out about it. And I need to come to camera more because you can still go out and see it. Give this video a thumbs up. And enjoy. Can I talk to you real quick? Yeah. Outside? No. All right. Why are you saying, oh God, like that? I don't know. Why? What's coming? Why? I don't know. This is gonna happen. I just wanna talk to you about it. Why? Why are you flushing? No, I just, okay. So, I know because he got me like the blanket and everything and it was super nice and I just, I feel bad. Why? So I have to... Feel bad about what? Tell you something. What? Mariah already knows this. Okay? But I know it, honestly, at the end of the day it's between Mariah and I and our relationship. But when I was out, one of the nicest when I went out for food was my gatherings. Basically what happened is we got drunk and they left me there and what was this? This was like three weeks ago now. Okay. And so one of the hooters girls decided like to drive me home and she kissed me and Mariah already talked about it and I know it's like cheating and stuff. What? But I don't know. Bill, why are you letting yourself get like that? Losing control of your emotions. You're going to get very serious. Yeah, it was hard on us. It's just I wanted... You kissed the girl? I didn't kiss, I mean, you kind of, it was like a mutual thing, but like I was, I don't even remember it. Why would you call Mariah or an Uber? But the reason why I know it happened is because when I came inside I had lipstick on just to see like when they work, you know how they wear lipstick and stuff. What's that? No. What? You're going to be recording me. This is like a confession video. How did Mariah take it? No, I'm kidding. Okay, I can't do it. It's a joke. It's a prank. Oh my God. I have a smartphone. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, before you leave, just a little background. So, okay, I'm honestly glad I didn't get any worse, but I did this to Julia, Mariah's friend, and I was going to do this in a bag, but basically I was like, just like, I cheated on Mariah. That's not okay. I know it's not okay, but... Drinking is never an excuse to lose your emotions and your consciousness of what you would do in a real life. But I want to show you I would never do that. I wouldn't never do that to you or anyone or Mariah and anything. Better not. But I am thankful for that son-in-law blanket, but I do feel like this was the perfect time to mess with your emotions. But I'm not that guy. I'm not that guy at the end of the day. Well, I got... I feel like super awkward right now. You got me all warm and...   Well, I'm good.  No, I wouldn't. I would never.  I know, I love you.  Well, technically, I didn't think kissing was cheating until I met Mariah. Oh, well, it is cheating. But because it's a kiss, I thought we thought I relate cheating with the full nine yards, you know? So that's why. Well, now you know. Going against the new year. I'm sorry. Mom was going on. I hope you all enjoyed her reaction. I didn't want to do this, but I felt like it would be funny. I'm just super awkward right now because I don't know what to say actually. But you're a good sport, so I love you. I knew something. I had to look around for a camera. I know, I'm like, that's why I was standing up. I was standing right here and I was like, all right, I feel like I should stay standing because if we sit, I feel like you're gonna start looking.  I'm smiling, so I need to take it more serious. So that's why I sat down and I'm like, you know what? I know what, I tried. It's a thought that matters. Right, get in here. No, she found the camera. Oh, she found the camera? Yeah, but she was, but I had her for like. No. And then I was like, and he just kept smiling. I don't know.  Were you mad? No, she was, no, do you want to know what she told me? She said, then you're not much on the line anymore. No, I didn't. No, I was kidding. But so what happened? Did you get mad? Huh? Did you get mad, did you believe it? I was having a hard time believing it. I was having a hard time that Phil would lose, get that drunk and do something like that. Yeah.  Or Uber, why would he ask some girl from Hooters? You really think Mariah, you think Mariah's going to pick me up at 2 a.m.? No, I twice said Uber. But baby, kissing isn't cheating, right? Yes it is. 100%. No, it's not. Yes it is. Why? It's cheating, Bill. Okay, but that's dumb. He's trying to prank us again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Marvel Squad. Hey, I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I'm done messing with it. I hope you all enjoyed. Quick, I know we don't really get to see you a lot. The last time we pranked, when was the last time we pranked her? Oh, that's when we FaceTimed you. Yeah, but. But we were saying you're such a global person that we have to. I am. Yeah, you are. So global. Yeah. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Make sure to give it a huge thumbs up. I hope you all had a happy new year. This is the first video after New Year's. Oh yeah. I totally forgot. Happy New Year is 2024 currently when you're watching this. But when we're filming this, it's only December 30th? 28th? 29th. 29th? Oh my gosh. Birthday. Oh, well. I'm thinking, I'm thinking. You got me all flustered, okay?  How do you think I would expect? He was the wife of a friend. Y'all. Yeah. I hope you all enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for watching. And we will see you in the next one. But until then. Peace. Love you guys.


In this video, I'm going to give you a traditional background into the difference between building a business off of inbound marketing versus building a business off of outbound marketing. Now these two are usually kind of in a different world. So most people choose to go to the inbound route. So when they get started, they mostly think about inbound, which includes the following topics. It includes everything from PPC. So that means Facebook social media advertising. It includes SEO. So that's Google page ranking. It includes content, meaning creating a video on YouTube, creating different blog articles. That's kind of what it encapsulates. Plus, the other extension of that, that's kind of before the internet, is the referral side. Basically getting a business off for somebody referring them to you. Now on the other hand, what do you have in outbound? So in outbound, you have things like cold emails. You have things like cold calling. And if you notice the main kind of like the directive word here is the word cold. So what most business owners do is they try to completely ignore this area. So they try to completely not take any part in it, and they mostly focus on these areas. Now the reason they focus on these areas, and again, it's either, oh, I'll do, I'll work on referrals and I'm just going to give the best service and people are going to recommend me, or I'm just going to do content marketing and people are going to come to me through the YouTube or through my blogs or SEO or PPC. The problem with all of these is that you're essentially dependent on an external phenomenon. So with referrals, let's say you do a great job and get your business to a 20% referral rate. The problem with that is that if you have a 20% referral rate, you usually also have a 20% drop-off rate. So businesses that rely on referrals, if you're not the number one best provider in your country or the world, if you're not number one, you are going to basically get shitty results because if you're number one, you're going to get a ton of referrals. If you're not number one, you're going to get a bit of referrals. So being number one, very hard, already not an option. What about content marketing? Well, do you want to spend the next two, three years creating content on a daily basis, working on it and hoping that it gets to a level where people start to pay attention and notice you? And again, it may look from the influencers and the people that create successful YouTube channels that it's easy. Trust me, I have a channel with about 600 videos at this point and about 4,000 subscribers. Now, obviously, if I focused more on SEO for the channel and content, I bet it could have been five or 10 times that, but do you really want to take a few years to build content to start growing your business? What if it's the wrong business or even worse? What happens if the content that you've made suddenly is deemed invaluable? For example, a type of video that you made no longer works on YouTube. So they take it down or an article that you made is no longer promoted by Google. Basically again, not a good idea for a short term solution to massive growth. SEO, well, that's obvious. It would take you anywhere from two to six months just to get some initial results and usually cost you a lot of money and Google can kick you out at any moment. In PPC, highly unstable costs a lot of money and the moment that you scale it, let's say you scale your campaign by 10x, you'll only get two, three X results. So even if your campaign is successful on the low budget, it's not going to work on a high budget. Now, what about cold outreach? So there are a lot of benefits to cold outreach that you simply don't get in other forms of marketing. One of the biggest benefits that I love that basically changes the entire game for me is the fact that it gives you freedom. So what I mean by that is imagine in one moment, there we go. So imagine with outbound marketing, when you do outbound, you have these benefits. You have freedom. So freedom means that you can basically control how many people you contact. You can contact one person, you can contact a thousand. No, you're not dependent on somebody replying to you back or being interested in your product or voting or becoming a lead. You contact them in the first place, which means you have the freedom to contact as many people as you want. Another benefit that you get with cold outreach is that you basically get the ability to control the audience. So instead of relying on these tools, basically here in these tools, you don't control the audience at all. And in this tool, you have some control over the audience. But again, let's say you're using Facebook ads, are you able with Facebook ads to only target roofing contractors or only target lawyers in a specific city? Well, obviously not. You're able to target people that are interested in stuff because this is mostly for B2C, but you're not able to control this here like here in B2B. Now, another huge, huge, huge change is that you have the ability to measure and with that, to estimate or predict. What does that mean? Well, I know that if I do 20 cold calls, I'm going to get about four people interested and about one of them is going to schedule a call. So I know that to get one call, I need 20 people. Now, if I want to know that my closing rate is 20%, that means I need five meetings, which means I need 20 call, 20 interested people, which means I need 100 calls. Now, if you can measure, you can actually predict and control your income and decide how much money you'll make simply by adjusting the target and the numbers. So you can actually have predictions in your business related to income, rather than depending on outside flows to grow your business. And finally, this is really the biggest one for me is that if you do it correctly, you can automate it. You can literally automate your outreach. And I've done that with my company. And in five, six months, basically built a company that's grossing tens of thousands in monthly recurring revenue and working with about 50 clients from all across the world with high level CEOs of Inc. 5,000 companies using one email system that we've built. Now, I want to invite you to a webinar that I'll be doing this Wednesday. The webinar will discuss how to use outbound marketing to grow your business and how to automate it to turn that on autopilot. So if you're interested, just go to the link below. Below this video, you'll see a link to register to the webinar.  It will make you not dependent on these external sources, not be a victim, not be in a place where you wish and hope the things will get better, but actually be able to control your income, control your pipeline, control the type of audiences that come in, and finally automate that process and make it run on autopilot. Thanks a lot and hope to see you on the webinar.


Good morning, my friends Welcome to the vlog. Hey, we're here getting unloaded in Calgary, Alberta beautiful beautiful Alberta They're building a Costco here you guys like Costco I like Costco if you shop at Costco and you ever shop at the new one that's being built in Southwest Calgary Thank a trucker Me and a bunch of other guys delivered the steel To build this building. That's pretty cool Costco is one of my favorite places to shop at man. You can get like a whole a whole pallet of dog food If you wanted to we did that once remember Remember that was fun Well, so I'm just sitting around here waiting my straps are all off the load already and I'm just Waiting for them to unload me here They took in one guy before me. He got in just before me.  That's okay. He's a really nice guy and talked to him. He's a new driver so Judging by his accent. He is of the midnight background just like me But hey, I don't want to judge maybe some other people talk like that, too. I don't think I really have a midnight accent I don't know You guys keep telling me I have an accent, but that's wrong. You're wrong wrong You have an accent. I talked perfectly normal. This is the perfect Queen's English right Apparently that's what the the the most proper way of speaking English is the Queen's English whatever that is I guess the English that the Queen speaks which would make sense because she's the Queen of England guess so I'm talking about nothing here already. I'm bored. Can you tell? Board board board just sitting here. Oh Well boom trucks coming. Are you coming for me? You coming for me? There he comes there he comes you see him see him. He's coming. He's coming Coming for me Come on Well big money big money. Come here. Come here. Come tell me to follow you We're just gonna drive past me like all the other boom trucks so far. Oh, he's coming for me. Yeah Right Okay, I can't see him from here. I guess I'll see him when I get around there, right? Okay, sounds good that guy is from Quebec All right, here we go We got to go down this big bump here. Oh Okay, I didn't take all of my straps off the trailer just so you know Took some of them off Should have clarified that before I Left enough fun to move it around the yard here the whole bunch of boom trucks So this is where it's gonna be Fascinating. It's amazing how they can build these massive buildings, you know hundreds and thousands of people Right here or do you want me? Okay. Oh, let's be back over there. Oh, okay. I see I see I Don't want to hit any of these spikes coming out of the ground That was incredible that took them literally less than five minutes to unload my entire trailer and I was definitely right They're all from Quebec.  I just drove out from underneath them That was it less than five minutes. My whole load was done was done Incredible There was part of it. They're breaking it apart now Man, that was hashtag impressive. So yeah, they they bring all these workers in from Quebec I don't know why they wouldn't hire Albertan workers to work in Alberta. But yeah, these guys came all the way from Quebec Apparently they go all around the country building Costco's I Looked them like holy you're gonna take the whole load off at once again. That's the French way They're funny guys And now how can I get out of here without running over anybody running over anything? I'm gonna slow to creep this way. I can't hit any of those spikes Popping up there miss that Breathe very careful There we go. Yeah, they were straight like hours and three minutes of remaining drive time. Thank you They were like French of the French like they you could tell they were from deep Quebec deep where they didn't speak English A lot of them didn't speak any of this one or two guys there that could understand me half of what I was saying I Kept telling me gonna unload the whole load at once Why is this peg in the middle of this driveway now? Was that there before? Was that there before I don't remember that peg being there Why is that right in the middle of the driveway? I think you just put that there now. There we go. I got past it Well, that was the adventure for today These guys down here now are all waiting to unload after me. So I got to get out of here Very efficient though. I got to give them that Very efficient. Where's this guy going? I wonder if all of these guys from Quebec then like the entire The entire work crew here.  That's a good place to stop Sure, I'll wait no problem. No problem. Take your job. She's getting impatient That wasn't too bad, okay Work on your patience Josh Patience is a virtue There we go. Look I was saying they're very efficient. They get their work done quick here Here's another load of steel same stuff Wow, this building is gonna be up before you know it Hey, well if they had the same crew that goes around the country building the same building over and over and over again They make sense why they would bring them out here, you know, it's really quick.  Why are you at fountain tire truck a job? You know that used steer tire What I bought Turned out it was a dud. It was garbage. I'm trying to back out of here right now. I don't want to just drive behind me It was garbage. It was completely out of round out of balance out of everything And I got charged $650 for a used tire with less than half tread. So I wasn't happy about that. So I Made my stink and I'm getting my money back for that tire and in the meantime. I bought a brand new tire for $725 $75 more and I got a brand spanking new tire Balanced and installed So now we just got to get out of here without hitting anything I gotta drop this trailer over there. What am I gonna do? I'm gonna back right on to the road. I guess I Guess that's what we're gonna do Come with me for an adventure backwards Maybe we can turn around here still I can't see that road I don't really want to back blindly. I can turn around here here. I'll take it a little wider here There we go, there we go So I got a B of Goodrich steer tire put on here on my passenger side All right spanking new I can't believe it was only $75 more than that used tire I bought So I'm taking that other used tire have it on my trailer behind me. I'm taking that back Getting my money back All right 46 minutes of remaining drive time. I want to go right Karen, why aren't you telling you which way to go? Gotta go to Edmonton Edmonton's this way. I'm just gonna turn this way So I'm gonna watch my bills very carefully because they asked me if I wanted to steer a used steer tire, right? I'm like, hey, all right. I trust you.  Come on Karen. I'm telling a story my truck was in the shop anyway, right? I'm like, well, it's in there. Anyway, whatever saves some money get a used here I can replace it next summer, right? Did not work out No, it was Like I said, it only had had it had less than half tread left I thought used was like yeah, it has a few thousand miles on it Maybe a few ten thousand miles. I don't know. Oh, yeah, it was almost bald And I Guess whoever had it last The car coming now whoever had it last must have Hit a pothole with it or something or something anyway. I'm thinking there was probably a reason why they had that Used tire lying around right somebody else probably hit a pothole started complaining that the truck was shaking, right? Karen, let me tell a story. So they got the tire replaced left the tire there. They figured hey, it looks round Let's resell it right. I don't know if that's what happened or not. I mean, I don't want to accuse them of that Probably not what happened. I know the people and they're good people. So I don't think they would have done that a purpose But I'm still like Looking at them all, you know Spiciously 600 meters turn left on venture So do I think they knowingly gave me a bad tire? No No, but someone must have known at one point that it was a bad tire and somebody else forgot to label it A little bit of a frustrating Couple of days for me dealing with my truck because my truck was shaking so bad my coffee in my cup holder was spilling all over my Dash right and my seatbelt didn't want to unlock while going down the highway You're a noisy woman today Karen man. You like to talk ding and every you like to be noticed you like attention You like the attention don't you? That's a truck coming on my left.  I'll fight a woman. I just want to tell a story I don't care what you have to say stop complaining. I know where I am. Oh We're back in the left lane gang. We are smooth as silk This is some smooth sailing. Wow That fixed all my problems. All my anxiety is gone This tire is balanced and properly round as a tire should be I Don't like tires that aren't round. I've had way too many of those already in my career Why do they make so many tires not round? They don't work as good But like I said that tire probably hit a pothole On someone else's truck and then they gave it to me But man this is solved all the problems. We are just we're not getting you feel the road beneath me I'm just sort of like just floating over it just floating We have about three three and a half hours to Edmonton I wanted to stop at flying Jay, but now that I'd go get this new tire I'm probably not gonna get there before it fills up because the flying Jane Edmonton fills up very quickly They're usually full by like supper my six or seven That's beautiful So we're just at this At this whatchamacallit this petrol pass Already got my seatbelow.  I don't know if I told you it or not I've probably told you already. I always forget It means we're gonna idle our truck a lot more cost me money When I buy a new truck one day like a new new truck or my next truck I am putting a priority on Making sure it has an APU now a proper APU that means auxiliary power unit It's that separate little motor that runs on the side of the truck in front of the back axles. I Want the one that's going to also power my batteries warm my engine fluids And warm and cool my truck I want those four things and an APU like that costs about $12,000 Canadian so On my next truck, maybe So what it does then is you can have the truck off and it'll keep the truck warm for you And if your batteries get low, it'll turn on and charge up your batteries for you If it's hot in the summertime, you can turn it on it'll keep the cab cool And also if it's a really really cold night like up here in Canada like minus 30 minus 40 minus 50 minus 60 Okay, minus 60 kid anything under minus 30. You should leave your truck running anyways That's just you don't want things to sit in that temperature and especially if you want them to start in the morning But if it's a cold night and you want to keep your engine kind of warm So it's easier to turn over in the morning The APU actually runs warm fluids or it Circulates the fluids in your engine to keep it warm enough so that it doesn't freeze solid It's actually pretty cool It's just really expensive and it runs off diesel fuel and it burns a lot less fuel than having this truck idling all night And it's also cheaper to fix. I mean it's expensive. Yeah, but I Mean this engine to rebuild this engine's like $35,000 to rebuild It cuts so it's slid right into me calm down, buddy. It's icy out here Keep flying into the parking lot here and so it's slid right into me right in front of me right here crazy people First time driving in Canada Probably they just gave you a license as soon as you got here, right? Anyways So yeah, these APU units are very very handy So my next truck I'm gonna get that my next one Kenworth W 900 studio sleeper Get back out there. I got my coffee here. So I am happy. I'm a happy trucker got my coffee. Oh And I was guys pulling in here right when I'm this is the exit people everybody comes in this way Okay, well, he's gonna give me a room. All right The entrance is actually over to our right but Admittedly, I don't always use that either And it doesn't it's actually not even labeled. So I'm probably wrong Probably wrong.  I Don't know who Jack is. I don't know if I even know any Jacks. Do I know any Jacks? I Know a Jake.  Oh It's so nice such a smooth ride. Oh There's no feeling like getting rid of a bad tire nice This is highway two takes you from Calgary to Edmonton apparently it's only minus five outside 95 kilometers feels more like minus 50 It's cold Down Karen you're still yelling at me 70 years quiet all day or any We're here at the Petro Pass and Atchison just west of the city of Edmonton I want to say the night here We've got to pick up in the northwest corner of Edmonton tomorrow 300 meters turn right on to six two three zero town 531 and then turn right into 170 meters. Oh, you're chatty today All right judging by how everyone's parked all over the place again doesn't look like there'll be a parking spot for me We're just gonna do a quick loop around the lot and if there is none then I don't know.  Holy Just from looking off to my left here to stop camera. Oh, why is there something drop trailers? That's so rude People like me need these spots and there's Bob tails taking up two spots here, too. I should back in behind them. I really should Two of the best spots in the parking lot Bob tails. They could have parked one behind the other No, take up two spots all these gravel trucks. They're like sleeping in their trucks. They just parked these trucks here overnight All the frustrations of finding parking so many people are just so Selfish and rude drop trailers Bob tails Hmm another drop trailer over there. Oh, there's no space here for us Wow Wow, this is packed again like really packed Well, no room for us at the end of the petrol pass. So we're gonna try our luck here at husky See what we can find here. Actually, you know, it's so now I don't know what it is. It's so husky because the pumps now say so the sign says so but Above the door right there in front of us now says husky I don't know Let's see what we can find This guy's in the pumps backwards. There's no good reason. It's not for de f either. It's just because he's in here backwards Good for him. Let's see you think I'll find any park in here You think there'll be anything for trucker josh What's this guy doing just parked here Blocking everybody anything waiting for the pumps. Maybe You're going in the pumps the wrong way bud Okay, some parking spots there parking spots. There's usually some kind of park in here This guy off to the left Blocked everybody in in the back here. So even if there's a spot there, I can't get in there. I'll have to back in from the other side Wow, what a mess. Look at these parking laws. Nobody seems to know how to park At least I can see some open spots here. So I'm just gonna see if I can find a good one And I'll talk to you guys when we're done Well, everybody, thanks for keeping up with me today. Thanks for watching We got a brand new steer tire for almost the same price that I paid for A half used one It was a good day Trying to get my bunk heater up and running here again. It's testing it out, but It doesn't seem to be working The fan starts the fuel pump starts, but it doesn't seem to be burning It's too bad I'll have to get that looked at as soon as I can I'll talk to you guys soon. Don't forget to subscribe. A new video is coming tomorrow A little bonus footage I got it working It's blowing hot air Right now. It's really hot Just the way it's supposed to But why wasn't it working before then? I don't know That's really weird. Yeah, it's working really well right now Let's try it down a little bit. It's getting hot in here See that's the heater down there the bastel heater apparently it still works. I don't know I don't know I have to fill around with it a little bit more to be continued


For a little while now, I've been looking for the strongest single anime character in a fan-made game with over 200 of them at my disposal. Little did I know, however, that these characters also have even more powerful hidden, alternate forms. I don't know how many of these forms are in the game or how strong they are, but I want to go through each and every single one of them to see just how they stack up against the rest of the competition. In today's video, though, we are starting with the hidden form that hightened me up the most by far, and that is Beast Gohan. Now, for his opponent, like I said, we're just going to be going through the random assortment again, so let's see who the wheel decides to land on this time.  How quickly can he write down Gohan and does he need to include the parentheses Beast? Bro brought a notebook and a pen to a fisticuffs match, I don't know if he brought the right utensils. Why he kind of looked like the sweet life of Zack and Cody? Oh, never mind, he is more evil. They're both charging! Is Gohan going to do his level three? What? Oh my god! It's a special beat! Get out of there, Light! He lost half his health. That was insane. Oh, Light's hitting the doggie on him! God damn, he's getting squinty with it! Wait, why does he have a countdown timer? Why does Gohan have a countdown timer? Did Light write his name down? Did Light write his name down? He's going to have a heart attack! Oh! Light wrote his name, but Gohan must have a second heart. Oh my god, his heart virus did nothing to stop him. Light wrote his name down, but he should have used permanent ink. Gohan's done with him. Oh! Damn! Hip-Hop's so dirty, he hit him backwards. What is this character? Okay, who's coming up for match number two? Shishio! All right, let's see what he opens up with. He's off! Oh, he's fast too. Wait a minute, Shishio actually has a great start! And great Gohan returning the favor. He's fast though, he's using his dash. He's actually kind of getting sliced up. Wait a minute, maybe these hidden forms aren't all there. Never mind, never mind, never mind. I take it back, I take it back. I take it back. Bro snap! Oh! A couple of key blasts to start the day off. A balanced diet! He's returning even more key blasts.  Oh, look at that key charge! That is insanely good-looking. He's got a bar of super, will he retaliate?  Even more key blasts, that seems to be a special of his. Tries to backstip the super, but not gonna work. Oh! And a perfect block by Shishio! Ah! Another super from his realm, but he can't block everything. Gohan, a flurry of air attacks and a dash in! Another dash. Damn, he is throwing elbows! He's running. Oh, he's charging. He needs more meter. What is he doing? He might just lose. Oh, he's pissed. I saw him charge up. Oh my god. Oh, was he toying with them the whole time? He just turned on the jets at the very end. What was that? Oh my god, look at it. Why, why orange piccolo beefed up next to him? Bro, it's an 18 pack. Noel from Black Clover. I've never seen the series, but you know, I've heard mixed things. Whether or not she's going to be able to beat Beast Gohan, I have no idea. However, this intro is eight minutes long, god. Damn!  I'm looking to see something offensive from Noel here. Damn, she's got super hops. Oh, and a nice air combo as well. Maybe she's... Gohan's charging up. Noel, I would stop him. The last guy that watched him charge caught a special beam cannon to the face. Noel doing some supers herself. What is it? Damn! What was that super? He evaporated into a... She's firing bubbles at him. I don't know if that one's going to be the damaging move. She thought it would be. Oh, another water cannon. I'm starting to think that maybe she uses water magic. Oh, Gohan Beast.  Another water cannon. Actually, she's doing big deeps. Gohan, my lose. To Noel? Is Noel going to get the first confirmed victory on Beast Gohan? Why is the screen dark? Oh, because it's day. It's always darkest before the dawn. And Gohan Beast is using all this daylight to get some hits in. He's not landing anything super great, though. Oh, OTG off the ground here. You know he's got a combo in his back pocket. That water cannon super is insanely strong. Water bubble shield. Noel's been zoning the entire match, but it's working against Beast Gohan. Maybe in order to beat him, you have to be able to keep him away. Oh, but she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. But Gohan is now pissed. When we see him charge up, he's got to he's got to find a way to win. Noel might be busted. A few more hits and he's done. Noel with the water cannon sends him flying. Power scaler is going to hate this one. But it is what it is. Noel wins. Ain't no way he's fighting Fuske. How many times is this guy going to come up in the random lottery? If you haven't watched the previous videos, Fuske is in those. Fine. I guess it's my turn. Oh, go on. Do something. Gohan, how did you lose to Fuske? Yes. Finally, the random wheel has given us a real matchup. Gojo, he is easily the strongest character in this game I found by far. Oh, he can't touch it.  He's spanking him. Oh, we got flipped again. Oh, no. Watch out. Go get one. My best competitor yet got obliterated. However, Gohan's beast hasn't been the beast I've been expecting. So whether or not he can stand up to Gojo, I don't know about that. I'm expecting some great things here. Oh, he's charging. Gojo giving him space as well. We're seeing two competitors charge up here. He's at full. Watch out, that's his ultimate. Oh, Gohan's got shot. Oh, my god. He's still bleeding. My god, that was graphic. It didn't do too much damage though. Gohan still has a chance. He did lose all of his meter. Curse for worse, blue, but he blocks it. I will be fair, Gohan's like the first character after he blocked it and a great reversal. Gojo's doing his hops, repelling him as usual. Gohan keeps missing that opening super. Whatever he's trying to do with that punch, it just hasn't landed. He's getting spanked. He's getting spanked. He's getting spanked. Oh, my god. Poor Gohan. He can't catch a break. Oh, my god. Oh, god, help him. He got spanked again. Somebody help the boy. Somebody help the boy. Oh, my god. There you go. Fight back. Oh, he's getting lubed. He got lubed. Oh, he's dead. I like how he does the shock face every time. Boy, they need a buff beast, Gohan. They need a buff beast, Gohan. They got my man's standstop. They're looking handsome over there. What is that? All right, for our second to final match, it looks like he's going up against Andy. Anime Watchers only will not know this guy just yet. I think there's been a few trailers. Manga Readers might be pretty hype for this one. Whether or not Gohan Beast fans are, I have no idea, to be honest. We need to see some big, that's what I want to see. Gohan Beast doing some air combos.  Gohan trying to run cowardly behavior. What? Random bad luck. I'm damned. This character's actually made pretty sick in this game. I'm not going to lie. Gohan's doing good damage, but the problem with Gohan is he's just not been landing many hits today. Random RNG effect. Another train.  He still has a decent chance of winning just because his hits do so much damage. But honestly, the AI just isn't ready for this. Another random effect, another train. Does he have combos? He doesn't. My God, somebody get Beast, go hunt some help out here. Somebody get him some help, he's struggling. Oh, but nice defense. I'll be honest, he's got nice defense. Good charge up, good key blast. Maybe he'll finally land that super he's been thinking about. The back kick, but he's gonna miss. Gohan, watch out. Oh, truck landed on him. He loves doing the key blast. That is his favorite move. Air combo, Gohan actually wins. He busts out a secret air combo. An orange pickle finally takes his side yet again. And for the final matchup, Gohan Beast will be going up against Kagura. How could they do this to my boy Gohan? I expected him to be flying around one-shotting people. Wait a minute, maybe he's had a change of heart. Oh, he fires a beam. It doesn't, it didn't do anything. She must have blocked it. That must be all chip. I wanna see Gohan do it again. Do it again, Gohan, charge up. Now he's showing up, wait. Hold on, at the end of the video could Gohan be showing me that maybe I was wrong. Maybe he just needed more time to warm up. I don't know, these umbrellas be deadly, damn, damn. Somebody get going, some help, he's getting shot.  Oh, he's getting shot again. He's getting shot again. This can't be real. This can't be happening to the boy. He just flies around the screen, but he's not fighting enough. Finally, he's going face to face. He's got, oh, that move was good. He needs to use that more. Gohan needs to spam that energy more. He's landing good combos, but he keeps dropping them. They got a buff Gohan. They got a buff Gohan. It just is what it is. He keeps missing. There we go, nice combo.  He's charging up. Maybe he'll end up with a special beam cannon. We've seen him do it once. Watch out, Gohan. No way, no way Gohan loses. Gohan is just everybody's punching bag. He needs to fight back. I need to see a super right now. Yes, and he got shot again out of it. Oh, this is sad, even if Gohan wins. Oh, let's go, use that move more, Gohan. Wait, finish the job. Finish your food, Gohan, finish it. Gohan, finish your food, she has no help. She literally has one speck of health. There you go, wait to finish your food, buddy. Nice, at least Gohan got one more dub before the video ended, but I might need to run this back. Gohan needs some training. They need a buff Gohan, and we need to see more out of him.
