All right, guys, today we are going to be talking about the Nintendo Switch 2. And it's because as chatter has heated up, really pretty much the entire generation of Switch. But over the last year, since we had the Nvidia leak in summer of 2022, and then things sort of died down for a little bit and ramped a bit up this year. Potential dev kits out in the wild and other stuff like that. One thing that's also happening is a ramp up of fake information. And look, nobody likes fake information and being misled, right? Being misled isn't good. Speculative content's one thing, but completely misleading people is another. And unfortunately, over the last couple of weeks, we've had some massive misleads happening that are very, very unfortunate. Two of them I can prove are not real. And this other one, well, I can't technically, I guess, prove it. You'll see in a moment why it's pretty obvious that it's fake, even though one particular image at least looks a bit real. But we're gonna examine a bunch of fake, three in particular fake leaks for Nintendo Switch 2 to maybe help you be on the lookout for when you're scouring the internet and finding things. So you know what to look for yourself because these are gonna be three different types of leaks. Let's just dive right into this first one and you'll see here that we have this one from this dusk. Yeah, you see the username. Any sort of trolling usernames like this are one obvious gives away. Just look at the last name, look at the profile picture, not that you want to, but stuff like that's dead giveaways that it's someone who's trolling. Also, I believe this is the only tweet they even have on their entire account. That being said, it says I've received these images and various information of Nintendo Switch 2 from an unknown source. The console is called the Nintendo Switch Next, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And you'll see some interesting stuff. You'll see what looks like some sort of render or in a camera, phone, picture of what looks like an off-screen of the back of the Nintendo Switch Next Plus. What kind of branding is that? That's very trolley branding and just a bad logo in general. But you know, you could argue it looks a little bit believable at least. And then you get over here to the actual logo popping up on the screen.  And Nintendo would never use a Plus and the word Next. That doesn't make any sense. And then you get over to the Joy-Cons. Yeah, they look like redesigned Joy-Cons. It is what it is. We've seen designs like this before. And then we get to the information where it says I've received these images and various information of Nintendo Switch 2 from an unknown source. Look at that, unknown. So they don't even know. It's 4chan, probably. The console was called the Nintendo Switch Next. The announcement could come between September and December 2023 and release instead, not before March of 2024. So it won't release before March, basically. So for some reason, they're gonna announce it this year but then not release it anytime soon. You know, sure, that makes sense. Anyways, from what you can see from the images, the console will have two cameras, one front and one rear, which, okay, of not high quality. It should have a 1080p and 120 Hertz OLED screen. Sure, believable it's an OLED screen. Heck, maybe even believable is 1080p. I'm not sure I buy the 120 Hertz. But sure, games could run at a stable 60 FPS, which is why you don't need 120 Hertz screen. In TV mode, they could run up to 4K. The console may support ray tracing, may, again, don't know anything. And technology similar to DLSS, the memory should be from 128 gigabyte non-words. I'm assuming that means like storage. And finally, the console could cost no more than 499. So just suggesting 500 is a top-out price. Look, this is beyond fake. Like, it is so not real that the giveaway is the only post by this person. Crappy logos that look fan-made. The whole cell phone picture thing. While it can be true, it was true for the Zelda Switch OLED. There were other indicators that that might be true. There's a lot of indicators here that this is most definitely not true. But that's not the only leak we need to talk about because we have this other account that popped up as well. And again, this is fake and I'm gonna explain why it's fake. There's one dead giveaway. One dead giveaway that you guys might not spot that says it's fake. So first this account didn't start posting anything called Nintendo leaks one until July 14th. Says the winds will be awakened and apparently there's a princess at a certain time towards night, January 2024. So they're basically being like, you know, the Wind Waker HD is coming in January. Yeah, okay, sure. Then you'll see them claiming to get something right where they said hashtag Nintendo, Famicom plus Switch equals, what? Equals nothing. And then Nintendo posted a 40th anniversary thing the next day. So he's acting like, ha ha, gotcha. No, no, that's not a correct thing. The Nintendo's leaks aren't real unfortunately. It's a shame though, because the dude's talented. We're gonna get to those leaks in a moment. There's a significant Joy-Con redesign coming. Again, this guy's acting like he knows things. But we're gonna debunk him in a moment. So looking for someone to design renders. Said someone will be designing hardware from two gaming companies. Pay can be discussed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It appears people were confused on my comment. I was asking for people to help me make renders, not to provide renders. Next, this is a Photoshop Maca. Here we go. Introducing the next generation Switch. Yeah, the tablet slash console is probably the least impressive thing. Design changes, metal shell, curved edges, separate volume, up and down buttons, which it was a rocker last time. Still could be a rocker underneath there, to be honest. But yeah, so that's some sort of render he had someone put together of the tablet part. Changes are really on the inside. Now here's where we, oh boy. Here's where we get our big red flag. So it's apparently a 720p screen that's OLED HDR. Sure, that's entirely possible. You're going OLED, sure. NGS, so next-gen Switch, will aim for 720p, 60fps and handheld. I mean, the current Switch aims for that. Aiming doesn't mean achieves. T239 chip, sure. That's been the rumored chip since the Nvidia leak last year. DLSS2 capable. Yeah, some people feel like it'll be capable. DLSS3 says ray tracing technically capable. Ray tracing technically capable, yes. DLSS3 would literally require it to be on the latest chipset. So that's pretty suspicious, but since we don't know what the technology is, yeah, you could argue this is believable. Eight gigabyte of RAM. Sure. I mean, the operating system probably uses less than a gig. So yeah, it would leave a little over seven available that is significantly more than one is available for PlayStation 4. So yeah, that's a believable RAM amount anyways. You would hope we get at least eight gigabytes of RAM. I know some people want more, but sure, it's believable. Faster 64 gigabyte EMMC storage. And there's the rig red flag. Mia, make sure you guys can see this. It says it right here. Faster EMMC storage. See, the problem with making that statement, the problem with that statement. Nintendo Switch right now already uses the fastest EMMC storage available. There isn't any faster EMMC storage. So they're talking about the internal hard drive on this new system. Yes, that technology hasn't advanced since Switch came out. It's exactly the same today as it was because it's really, really, really fast and already really, really, really small. Yeah, it hasn't gone anywhere. So the fastest EMMC storage available is already on Switch. There's your red flag. Someone's just making things up who don't know anything. So there's that. That's just another fake debunked. And then we get to this one. This is one many of you guys have probably already seen, but if you haven't, we'll kind of go through it. Nintendo's over here, if you actually look at his username, another red flag is glancing at usernames, Nintendo's BS. Now what some of you guys might do is, well, another red flag is it's on Twitter. We do have legit leaks that happen through Twitter. You might say, well, the red flag is from 4chan, could be. But again, real leaks happen on 4chan as well. I don't like to look at the platform as the red flag, rather look at some commonalities between fake stuff. So this already just looks like a funky design, but there's always already a red flag in here with this image when you open it up, the way tears of the kingdom is capitalized is not, it's literally not how it's capitalized on Nintendo Switch. They do not capitalize the of in legend of Zelda, and they don't capitalize the O or the T in tears of the kingdom. So again, they are going against Nintendo's own design philosophy. Also, Nintendo tends to not put the UI like this on the box, usually a blank screen or some colorful thing indicating an OLED panel. It's usually not this colorful or it'll be like a single game maybe. So it's already a bit weird that these renders would include that. You just see Nintendo Switch and it is calling it two here. But as we go on, it just gets worse. So we have our Joy-Con two, our Joy-Con two again. I can't read any of this because I believe this is in Italian. But yeah, I can't read any of this, but it looks official enough, I suppose. Then you get to this one. And this new UI, Jiff, has a lot of red flags. The first one being, if you look really close, it says Super Mario Wonder. When the official name of the game is Super Mario Bros. Wonder. So there's that. That's a big red flag. Also, later on, I think it was pointed out, maybe it was pointed out on this art here that there's some interesting stuff going on with the Xenoblade background and the background of Super Mario RPG here where they're not actually from the game. So they're completely fan-made icons. Anyways, moving on. We get up to here and you know, trying to tease a tomorrow announcement and they show this weird docking animation, which sure, it's Nintendo-esque, but it's a little slow. The Switch kinda, you kind of drop it in and it's like half a second then it pops on your TV. That was longer than half a second. So not very Nintendo-like. They like to have a smoother experience, although it's a pretty neat concept for a fan animation. And then you see more explanations, closer explanations on the Joy-Cons. You see in two days and as we scroll up, we'll see these sort of concept sketches and then we see this about the mechanism.  And it's cool and you'll notice he fixed Super Mario Bros. He added Bros. in here. He fixed that in this one. This is the next one, it'll be the last one, the final drop this week, which is kinda funny because he just started this week, but it's pretty interesting and it's clearly fake. There's even more red flags than what I pointed out. But the bottom line is, there's just a lot of fakes rolling around on the internet. And I want you guys to be just be aware of why you might see some other channels picking this stuff up and making a lot of videos and I'm choosing not to. Well, I do cover a lot of rumors and leaks and all that. I like to cover things that at least have a possibility, even if I don't think it's likely to be real. None of these leaks have a possibility of being real. They are all fake, but yet some other channels keep talking about them. So I wanted to make this one video show to just showing you what to look for and what I'm looking at. I'm double checking information provided. I'm closely examining images. I'm looking at the user names, that you gotta look at the post history.  Things I didn't always necessarily do in years past when I've learned over time as a content creator that I don't wanna lie to my users. What I wanna do is provide an interesting, informative video and I hope that's what you got today. So if you guys enjoyed this video, I'd appreciate if you would like the video, subscribe to the channel and help us on our road to 150K. I'll catch you in the next video.


Every reform, every step forward has come about not because of the actions of politicians or corporate capitalists but because of the actions like Aaron Bushnell and like each and every one of us. Aaron did not create his own life. He gave it to a cause. It is astounding the lengths it will go to defame our bravest people because what brings Americans closer to violence and danger is imperialism. This is Natalia with People's Dispatch. Right now I'm outside a vigil for Aaron Bushnell, 25-year-old active duty member of the Air Force, who this week lit himself on fire in protest of his complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Of course, the United States being a massive funder of Israel and the United States Army facilitating the genocide. Right now there are hundreds of people gathered here in Times Square in New York City in honor of Aaron Bushnell's sacrifice. There are veterans here of the US Army who have been speaking, Palestinian activists and youth and anti-imperialist organizers who are here to honor and remember Aaron Bushnell's sacrifice so that it may continue to be an inspiration to the growing and continuing mass movement in solidarity with Palestine. During the Vietnam War, US soldiers, US Marines, US sellers became the vanguard of the US anti-war movement. Not too many people actually know that, but tens of thousands of American GIs decided to stand up and fight back and say no to the war. They not only deserted, they took the struggle against the military brass right on the front lines in Vietnam. That's why the Vietnam War ended. It wasn't because Richard Nixon or Henry Kissinger or any of the corrupt politicians in Congress did anything. People like Aaron Bushnell, 25 years old, who said, I would rather fight and give my life against the perpetrators of genocide in Vietnam than to live and be complicit in your genocide. That's the tradition of Aaron Bushnell. What brings Americans closer to violence is our government's funding of genocide in Palestine. What brings us closer to violence as tech workers is when Google and Amazon greedily chased a $1.2 billion contract with a settler colonial state that is actively committing genocide. What brings us all closer to violence is when companies and places of work insist on a relationship with the Zionist entity whose entire existence is constructed upon and held up through violence. So thank you, Aaron Bushnell, because in your sacrifice you have once again exposed the hypocrisy of the rich and powerful. Your memory serves as a reminder that the ruling class polices our protests not because of some fake love of morality and some fake love of non-violence, but because they just want to see us in silence.  They suggest this in order to diminish it and to diminish him. They do so to remove his agency, to denature the force of his choice by collapsing it into the logics of suicidality. We reject this. All forms of protest are symptoms of an uninhabitable world. There is no way to respond sanely to what is happening in Reza. Reza is a normalcy that is not normal and we are here to fight against that. Aaron's sacrifice, his brave and bold act of protest really marks a shift in the consciousness of the American people and the courage of the American people. The fact that an active member of the Air Force is willing to step forward to defy everything that he is told he should say, believe and do in the name of the U.S. war machine and make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Palestinian liberation. I think will undoubtedly inspire more people to take action, not only in the U.S. military but those that saw and so many of us saw his sacrifice and his protest. I think there is no going back to what we have all been pushed to believe that we have to give unconditional support to Israel, people every day in every sector of our society are saying, well, we actually recognize that we have so much in common with the people of Palestine and we actually don't want our tax dollars going to funding occupation and funding genocide that we recognize Israel for what it is an apartheid regime and we don't want that done in our names and we don't want to be a part of a system that commits these atrocities not just in Palestine but around the world. So I think the fact that, you know, Aaron showed us the level of dedication we have to commit ourselves to. I mean, we are out here in New York City in Times Square and it's raining and hundreds of people came out in his honor and really not just to honor him in this moment and the sacrifice he made but to recommit ourselves to fighting for Palestine.


We are here in Palm Harbor, Florida, here on an unattended death. Interesting story. This is the first time I've cleaned blood off of a ceiling that wasn't because of spatter. It was a bird. This is Steve Wolf, General Manager of Spalding Decon Tampa. We are here in Palm Harbor, Florida, here on an unattended death. Interesting story. There was a female here that was disabled and she had a boyfriend that ended up becoming deceased and was unattended to and then the sister of the female that was living here came and discovered the body. While when she came and discovered the body she said that the body had already started to decompose. She called the police, had the body removed and everything but she also had to call animal control because there was a bird that was living inside the house as well. When we go inside you will see wing marks on the ceiling and throughout the house from where the bird was feeding off of the decomposed body and was using that to survive because the other homeowner that was disabled was unable to get around the house and feed the bird. There's wing marks on the kitchen ceiling all over the house. There's also bird feed and bird feces all over. Very interesting story. This is a two-bedroom duplex that we're going into that is also hoarded. So it is an unattended death that it has now been two weeks before before we're able to enter this. I think the body as it was already decomposed had about a week and a half already before it was discovered and then now two weeks before we're actually able to to action cleaning this and like I said the bird is there. There is some incontinence in the master bedroom from the disabled victim that was still here and alive. She is in the hospital so good news she is alive and they are taking care of her but you'll see us clean up a lot of tile work, carpet work. We've got a big project ahead of us follow along. So I'm just trying to make it a pathway here so that we don't cross contaminate because there's a lot of like footprints and stuff that I'm trying to not step in. Definitely looks like the bird. The bird's wings were soaked in blood because the way the streaks are going on the floor it looks like the bird was walking and leaving the blood streaks on the floor. Super weird and then the bird even hit the ceiling in the kitchen and the wings made an impression there. Super weird. A bio and a horde together it makes this job 10 times harder because you're dealing with all these contents as well as a lot of blood but you always focus on the blood first and the rest of it can be taken care of later. So this is going to take several days.  I didn't realize he was an alcoholic. Yeah that's what **** that sucked.    Say probably. There's one right there. Hey guys so as you can see here we have what appears to be back or stomach skin from this decomp so you get to enjoy this moment with me as we peel it from the floor. It's almost like peeling a sunburn I guess would be the closest I could say. It comes right up like yeah you can hear it too it's coming right off that carpet. It feels like paper. It's been dry. Not too wet anymore. Yep there it is. There's some hair on it. This part's still wet over here. There it is stuck to my finger. So any type of biohazardous material bodily fluid any type of waste that comes from the human body has to be disposed of properly legally and ethically too you don't want to just throw this in a trash can for somebody to find you know it's kind of kind of gross so we always always follow our proper procedures of removing and transporting and everything when it comes to biohazard like that. So we're going to try to attempt to make it a little bit easier since it is hardened and stuck to the floor I'm going to get it wet and we're going to we're going to get it off that way so it might just kind of scoop off now a little easier once it gets wet yeah look at that so you can see the difference. I need a scraper souping now as you can see it's getting wet and it's clumping together yeah so the part A is causing it's a bubble. A little taco scoop some hairs in there. So we have got a ton of food here um mo I mean this is open but most of it is good and not open so what we typically do on stuff like this is donate it to the homeless mission center and they take all this food obviously we can't do the stuff that's been halfway open but like there's plenty of stuff here that hasn't been opened that's perfect for even animals there's milk bones um which means I'm probably going to find dog food somewhere but I haven't even gotten into the kitchen yet this is just kind of like a hall closet and it's got a lot of food in it so our priority today is the bio and then once that's taken care of we can focus on the food all right that's what I'm up now work so much easier to clean up this chair is my nemesis depending on the miracle if I don't lose a limb they don't even make padding like this anymore I can tell because of the shape the design of it it's super super old so it's disintegrating with the blood that went through it onto the subfloor but we can we can definitely clean it up I don't know like that see it went through but the padding was made better a long time ago because it was absorbent the padding today if liquid hits it it just literally disintegrates so this is good stuff see it saved up the blood went through the carpet through the pad onto the subfloor but the padding did a really good job of absorbing it so this is easy for us to get out of the slab we won't even have to seal this we'll extract it and disinfect it and it's good to go yeah we have to do it for fun yeah this is crazy it's like disintegrating okay maybe we should head that way yeah because we're we're at a good standstill oh you want to indicate that I think it's a lot if you don't feed those don't feed on you so look here's two spots on the sheet we sprayed indicator on both of these this one indicated this one didn't so this was blood this is feces okay but when they started to dry they both ground the same okay so you have to indicate but look no no bubbles bubbles all right so we're gonna get rid of this whole sheet but that's a good thing for you guys to learn and know that the indication shows you the different types of biomatter you just want all biodegradable so normally it's just a spot of blood I'll just cut the spot but this is everywhere so it's easier for me to just cut off the cut off the whole pillow top and put it in the red bag when I was doing another job but those EMT shears are amazing my favorite tool by far works much better than this so one of the hazards of working in cutting carpet is sometimes your carpet blade snaps in half how horrible to be laying in bed not able to get out for seven days while your husband is dead in the next room and no one can help you and no one can find you for seven days and the bird starts eating on her husband so I mean I can't imagine what's going through her head for seven damn days with no food or water that's horrible absolutely horrible yeah so we're continuing to pull up the carpet and the carpet pad as there was bio in this room as well so as we continue to gather we can continue to work through the house to decontaminate you know this whole carpet is going to be highly saturated or it was highly saturated with blood and you see it's on the bed it's on the carpet so moving along it's always easier cutting carpet on the backside wait look at that it's like butter it's just like butter always find any good cleaning supplies yeah we'll use all these for cleaning so Laura where we got back here in the garage a ton of but I got bug bombs which is awesome because we need them for our van my plan here for the the bed frame is because it is a monstrosity of a bed frame very beautiful I may add but it's a monstrosity I have to take it apart in pieces so that that my frail weakness can um take it out uh Laura Nathan said they could bench press it and take it out by themselves but they tasked me with it so now I have to break it down into smaller pieces all right watch your step you get a three count you're like one two and then you just lift up and then say three ready hold on two three no no you say ready don't wait for the response I'm like ready we're going no I'm not okay we're going anyway all right set it down you pull it in the thing just go did you say slide it my way yeah it's because the ceiling clearance you don't got a lot dream teams on the job yeah the dream team baby we're breaking down so you're not heavy hauling heavy break these rails and the pieces much more so it shouldn't be much more the both bathrooms and then we have the kitchen with the ceiling the walls little spots like that and then if we're doing the carpet so let's do the let's do the bolt things then pop this it's in the bolt this way yeah pop it out that way sweet baby sister kind of sledge yeah yeah back on top each other went from the big box one to a little box one then they had a flat screen that's like the evolution of the tv poo blood forget it all it's poo and it's blood therefore poo blood this is the first time I've cleaned blood off of a ceiling that wasn't because of spatter it was a bird that was covered in blood because it ate its owner and its wings were covered in blood and these are just wing strikes everywhere this is insane here that is completely oh no I'm gonna do see if I can get a uh a garbage bag or something take all of her clothes out of here so that when we move this and we can put all the clothes in there they can decide what what they want to do with this separately other than the clothes I know that they want to keep the clothes the female that was living in this house is going to be now moving in with her sister who's going to take care of her close you wanted to know the time but didn't want anybody to know that you knew the time we have a clock hidden inside of the the blade suck on the carpet yes you need an intelligence right there one two this is I I've determined that this is not blood I think it's dirt from the bird so the bird was never caged up the bird was allowed to roam free that's why you see bird everywhere so I think they train the bird to certain areas but it's a bird it's gonna it's blood and excrement or feces or poop whatever you want to call it mixed together right here which is pretty gross so you can tell because it's not just red it's brown you can see the poop and the blood it's both so you can see the obviously the old blood but then that is poop and it's mixed together so somebody was bleeding out of their butt time to bring the pain patchwork right there what I'm gonna do is I already cut my seam here bio bio come right here if your thing doesn't if your carpet doesn't split right this then you start bending it against itself cutting from the underneath okay a lot easier this is bio bagged and let's clean the surface off but it's ultimately gonna need to be repainted we got to disinfect it and at least remove the top part of it and then we'll repaint it it's hot so I bring this special tool with me and keep it cools me down it's made in France got the toilet pretty much cleaned on the inside I'm doing I'm touching up the outside you guys are following along you know that Nathan started this but he's a wimp and can't do the bathrooms so I'm in here cleaning toilets and making sure that everything is back to normal and looks nice and nice and good for the tenant okay but I don't know if you guys got a shot of this toilet beforehand starting to look nice and clean it's still got some work to do but 90% of the toilet is clean got a little acid bowl cleaner in there let it work okay see that's what the blue is the acid bowl cleaner okay let it get some working so the biggest thing and I've said this before on on these episodes gotta let the chemical do the work for you set the chemical down let it start to eat away what it is come back to it then use that elbow grease to get the rest of it it's a two-man job or a one-wolf job I want to help her finish cleaning up I get this room friends we double glove because you get reaches in your glove and you're touching that stuff right there and you get a little cut and then now I got like every communicable disease under the sun and some type of gnarly bacterial infection so you don't want that so we double glove hey guys end of day one here at the unattended death slash hoard job dream team was on it Laura, Nathan, myself getting this done we got all the bio cleared out for today we're wrapping wrapping it up but we have multiple days of a hoarding clean out still left to do so make sure you tune in for day two thanks for watching today's episode of crime scene cleaning don't forget to subscribe to our new channel Talking Deacon where

Thank you very much for that answer, and I very much appreciate what you've said. But I'd like you to reflect a little more broadly on the threat that the government of the People's Republic of China might pose to the United States and what we do in response to that threat. So I'll use your words from just a couple of minutes before. You asked us to connect the dots, right, when we find them. The question or the problem is that sometimes people will see things as dots that really aren't there. You've stated in multiple venues that the Chinese government has engaged in a whole of society effort to steal from the United States. And you've asked that the United States engage in a similar whole of society effort to combat China. At the same time, you also stated, as you have just done, that this effort isn't about the Chinese people or Chinese Americans. But of course, Chinese Americans are part of the U.S. society that you believe needs to be mobilized against China. So what advice do you have for Chinese Americans, like myself, who hope to be able to bridge the differences between our two countries, but instead find themselves caught in the middle subject to accusations of disloyalty, of being a dot, or to incidents even of anti-Asian hate? Well, I guess a couple of things. First, I think I've only used the whole of society reference to describe the Chinese threat once, early in my tenure. I have used the whole of society language quite a bit in referring to what we as Americans need to do to counter it, so just to be clear on that. And I have made a point in almost every significant speech I've given on this topic, often to audiences that may not necessarily embrace the message that, as I just said a few minutes ago, and I appreciate you acknowledging it, that this is not about the Chinese people and it's not about Chinese Americans, who in many cases are victims first and foremost of the same government that we're trying to counter. It is true that, and I've said this repeatedly and I stand by it, there is no country, no government that represents a more serious, more persistent threat to our innovation, our ideas, and our economic security than the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government. That is an assessment that I make soberly and thoughtfully based on the facts, based on the intelligence, and as a view that I find is shared by agencies across the government, by foreign partners all over the world, increasingly by the business community, and by frankly universities I'm finding increasingly, again, not based on race, ethnicity, or national origin but based on intelligence and based on the threat posed by a government, not by visitors here. So to us at the FBI, we don't view it as a middle, we view Chinese Americans here as being with us, and that's why I highlight these cases, in particular the transnational repression cases, because to me they in a very poignant way illustrate the degree to which Chinese Americans here are not in the middle, but in the crosshairs of the Chinese government, and we need to work with them, not as dots as a threat but dots in a different sense, they are as victims, they are people who have information that can help us protect them and protect the country, and so that would be my message to them and to you.


Next question is from gabbs is rad with all this extra time I find myself trying to fill my day with activity Is it too much to be doing yoga long hikes and walks and a strength training workout every day? No, I don't think so at all. No, I think all those actually compliment each other really well They do it now can they be too much?  And so now what does that mean depends on the person if you are new to this?  Yeah, definitely. I mean it It depends on what you're doing right before this. So if you were at, you know, very high level and this is just to maintain Somewhere close to even the amount of activity that you were doing before this That's just I mean that that should be just fine to add strength training to that as well It's just a matter of like if you're trying to add all this Right now and you know before that you had a desk job where you're half the day You're sitting down and then all of a sudden, you know your strength training But now you want to cram like yoga you want to cram Hiking running everything else on one day, you know, that might be a little too much volume for you Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna challenge you guys a little bit I I would be okay with 99% of my clients giving me this now. They have to do them right though, right? I mean, I when I when I hear yoga long hikes and walks. I don't see Sprinting, you know marathon.  Yeah, it's not great You're not you're not climbing Everest right now and in that like and yoga is really gonna compliment For sure the strength train so if you're strength training yoga is the nice the opposite as long as it's not You know, it's not Cardi's more like neat than yeah, I have no problem Have you guys ever done power yoga? Well, I mean, that's that can be right and if they said that power yoga hiking, you know You know Everest and sprinting and then strength training I would definitely like don't but I mean honestly a lot of people probably need this Yeah, because they were even if they didn't have a you know, quote-unquote really physically active job like Construction or something like that and they were just moving though around the office and and moving like we like we were We were just explaining in the intro, you know, dude I actually need about all of that just to kind of be close to what I was doing before Yeah No, I see it really goes down to this like you have to listen to your body if you apply all of those Appropriately and complementary to each other You're gonna be totally fine if you go into it because here's why I said what I said The people that I know that do yoga hiking and lift and resistance training every single day all the time The people that I know do that are the kind of people that overdo shit that they go hard at all of it And that's why I said what I said if you're gonna do all of those you got to be smart about it The way that I would approach this is the yoga would be gentle the yoga would be would be focused on, you know Flexibility and stability and it would be rejuvenating. That's what my yoga would feel like my hikes and walks would also be Rejuvenating enjoying the outdoors just moving and feeling good. The resistance training is where I would apply a little bit more intensity That's how I would piece that together and I read it that way. That's why I feel that like I mean when I hear yoga by itself Long hikes and walks. I don't I don't read intensity I would I read is somebody who now has eight hours a day. They're not probably working moving now Yeah, and and and those choices because what can happen is and what I can see myself some days happen is like I literally don't leave a couch almost all day long and this would be great Yoga spend a yoga for an hour then go take a nice long hike for an hour Then go for a 30-minute walk a couple times a day and then I have a strength training episode our strength training You know session. I mean that to me is Phenomenal and for most people should be able to handle I've been I've been in some yoga classes though That are just like oh, this is this is designed to be strength training You guys are trying to turn yoga into strength or I've done hikes Jessica's taking me on hikes. I'm like this is a whole mission peak is an intense hike, right? That's an intense. I get to local hike that's pretty intense and that every day I think would be a lot on this and honestly, I mean, I'm pro yoga, but I'm more pro mobility We have a free webinar that's going right now I would push I would rather see my client doing that every day so we can actually fix some issues that they're having Yoga is great for relaxing and stretching the body and I think it I think there's a that's awesome But I would way rather see if this person is putting this much effort and time into their body and their health Mobility should be in there Which is more specific to what you need to be doing and if you don't much more individualized Don't understand what that is that that's why we have a prime compass where you take a test And then it tells you what you need to do and then prime pro is all the correctional Actually, you can go to mind pump webinar calm and you can actually take a free mobility class from Adam I think it's like 45 or 50 minutes long. You could try that and follow his cues and see for yourself


Their money was issued by private enterprises, private banks, and the private banks would exchange the paper money, the money substitute, the cash that you have, for gold anytime you wanted to, because gold was the real money. Gold was the real money. Those days, money meant something. It had a stable value. It had a value determined by private markets. The supply of gold rose steadily, slowly, but steadily, and to a large extent was correlated with productivity, so that prices generally were stable to declining. So you actually didn't have inflation, but price deflation, where the amount of stuff you could buy with an ounce of gold increased over time, whereas today with paper money, the amount of stuff you can buy generally decreases over time. That's what inflation means. So money used to be an objective value. It used to have a reality to it. It used to be private, and it reflected values. It reflected what you produced, what you created, what you built, what you made, what people were willing to pay you in exchange for your production. But once money can just be printed, just be created out of thin air. It loses any anchor to reality. It loses any objective value. It's only value is that what the government says it is. And it's not clear that money is now linked to production. Money is now redistributed. Money is now handed out in bailouts. It is handed out to buy all kinds of assets. It is used by the government on a massive scale, on an unprecedented scale today, to redistribute wealth. And I'm here, I'm not talking about welfare. Not always to redistribute wealth from, let's say, rich to poor. But today, we're redistributing wealth from middle class to rich. We're redistributing wealth from savers to borrowers. We're redistributing wealth today from old to young. The tirees, the first-time home buyers. We're redistributing wealth in all directions. Redistributing wealth all over the place. And it's not wealth, it's money. We're redistributing money everywhere. And money has become delinked from production. Interest rates have become delinked from the demand and supply for money. They're complete creations of central planners. Our financial markets are basically becoming socialist financial markets, and the government, through the Federal Reserve, is basically setting prices, setting the allocation of capital, choosing winners and losers. Now this all started, I remember the first time I heard this idea, was in 1987. I mean it started well before this, but it came to my awareness and maybe to the market's awareness for the first time in full force. In October of 1987, what was called Black Monday, a day in which the stock market dropped 25 percent. And we won't get into the reason why it dropped 25 percent, but in one day, the stock market dropped in 25 percent. Now in that day, Alan Greenspan happened to be the Federal Reserve Chairman. He was a new Federal Reserve Chairman. He had taken the position earlier that year in 1987. And Alan Greenspan was, I think, in Dallas. He was away from the Federal Reserve. He was away from Washington, D.C. And on that day, he basically got on the phone and let everybody know that the Fed was there to provide as much liquidity as markets needed, that they would not allow the stock market to crash any further, that anybody who needed money, the Fed would lend their money, and that they would make sure that markets did not go any further down. And indeed, markets bounced around a little bit at those lows and quickly rebounded. And that 25 percent was regained within, I can't remember, I think within a year. It was known, came to be known as the Greenspan put. In other words, it came to be known that the Federal Reserve, at least under Greenspan, and under every Federal Reserve Chairman's sense, would not allow financial markets to collapse. They would not allow bad outcomes in financial markets. That they would do what they could to supply liquidity to participants. Now, originally, this might have been done innocently. The idea was that the decline of 25 percent was some technical aspects of computerized trading. It's not clear that that's real, but let's assume that's true. And that people who wanted to buy and prop the market back up couldn't because it was not off liquidity. So the Fed would lend their money, short-term, just none of them went default, none of them were going back up. Just they needed the money to be able to go and support the markets. And the money would return quickly, and it would have no long-term effect on the markets. And that was the original idea. And Greenspan used this put on several occasions following that. In 1991, actually January of 1992, Allen Greenspan engineered the sharpest drop of short-term interest rates in United States history, basically to save the banking industry because he feared that the banking industry was going to be bankrupt. He created a sharp difference between long and short-term interest rates so that banks could borrow low interest rate and lend out at a high interest rate and make some money. Another example of Greenspan put bailing out the banks. He continued to increase the money supply aggressively throughout the 1990s to the point where at some point he called the stock market, thought there was irrational exuberance in the stock market. And threatened to raise interest rates. But then when he threatened that and the markets went down, he immediately reversed the threat and we saw the dot-com bubble grow to absurdities in 1999 and implode in 2000. You guys are probably too young to remember the complete implosion of the Nasdaq and tech stocks in 2000 and 2001. Then in 2002, after 9-11 as the U.S. economy because the dot-com bubble in 9-11 was teetering on the verge of a recession, Allen Greenspan engineered another massive reduction in interest rates. Indeed kept interest rates so low for two and a half years that interest rates, real interest rates, inflation adjusted interest rates were negative, thus creating the famous infamous housing bubble, money fluid to housing, creating a housing bubble which you all know Allen Greenspan retired a couple of years later, the housing bubble imploded in 2008 causing the great financial crisis, the great recession, blamed on capitalism but should be blamed on Allen Greenspan and the Greenspan put. Now here was the great financial crisis. Now what does the Fed do? Well, it does the Greenspan put on steroids. Why? Only just provide a little bit of liquidity to hold up markets. Why not flood the market with money? And indeed many economists claim that the Fed didn't do enough to flood the markets with money. But they flooded the markets with money, they bought everything in sight. Later rather than earlier, these economists are right that the Fed did what they did too late, if you will, to even help these markets. They built companies out instead of the normal responsibility of kind of lending to banks in distress. They suddenly were sending to everybody in distress and the Federal Reserve suddenly became arbitrary of who wins and who loses, not just in American banking, in European banking, among corporate America. And it's not clear that what they were doing was even legal. Nobody cares, nobody wants to look at it, nobody wants to examine it, they just accept it. The Federal Reserve is lending to people that they shouldn't be lending money to or at least they never had a mandate to lend money to. And then if you remember, after the financial crisis, once the financial crisis was over, they did a very poor job during the financial crisis, created massive uncertainty, massive fear, massive panic for no good reason. Benenki was an awful Federal Reserve chief. After the financial crisis, as the economy is coming out of it, they engaged in QE2, QE3, which was massive programs to buy bonds. And when you buy bonds, you bring bonds in, you send cash out. It's a huge amount of money flooding into the system. But all the bonds, the bonds were two types of bonds. Historically, the government, the Fed has bought government bonds. Historically, short-term government bonds. What happened in the financial crisis that was unique and special and different was they suddenly started to buy long-term government bonds, less lowering long-term interest rates artificially. And at the same time, they started buying on a massive scale, mortgage-backed securities, some mortgages, thus lowering interest rates on mortgages. In other words, tell the market, tell the market to determining interest rates, tell the market participants evaluating risk and return, evaluating the future of the economy, setting prices. No, the Federal Reserve was not setting prices. Central plan is when I'm setting prices based on models, more sophisticated but as incompetent as the coronavirus models. And now the government has been, the Federal Reserve has been full-fledged into buying securities in security markets, manipulating those markets, increasing the money supply. It didn't cause inflation. Prices didn't go way up. So everybody assumes that they had no impact. But of course, they had an impact. Keeping interest rates out officially low, flooding the market with money, money that went into the stock market that caused the stock market to go at officially high, money that went into projects that nobody needs, went into investments that wouldn't be profitable in normal conditions. What the Federal Reserve did for over 10 years, I mean, it's been doing it to some extent since it was founded. But what it has done in steroids over the last 10, 12 years, actually 12 years. Well, and if you count the housing bubble, maybe 8, 20 years, and if you count the dot com bubble, maybe 30 years, what the government has been doing is manipulating markets, causing massive malinvestments, causing bubble after bubble after bubble that then bursts, choosing winners and losers, reducing premiums on risk, encouraging risk taking, screwing savers by reducing interest rates, and then encouraging pension plans and insurance companies and other people who need a return on their bonds and can't get it because they've squeezed interest rates so low, encouraging them to take on massive risks, which when the market turns, they lose a lot of money on like they probably have in the last six months, and basically messing up the most important aspect of a marketplace, the pricing mechanism, the signals that prices send, the signals that interest rates send, and whether people want to borrow or lend, and whether people are willing to take on more risk or less risk, who knows what interest rate mean today. Oh, I know what interest rate mean today. They mean they reflect not the marketplace, not supply and demand, not what the market is willing to bear, but they reflect what the central planners want. They reflect the desires of central planners. They reflect the interests of central planners, and central planners we know. They can't even set the price of bread right. Whoops. Did video just go? Oh, came back. They can't even set the price back. You saw bread lines in the Soviet Union, and there was no way they could set the price of interest rates, set the price of bonds, set the price of other financial institutions. During this crisis, the government has, the Federal Reserve in other words, has put everything on steroids. Obviously, what they did during the financial crisis was too mild, too moderate. So now they're spending trillions of dollars on buying assets, and it's not just government bonds, long-term, short-term, medium-term. It's not just mortgage-backed securities. They're buying ton of those. There's a reason why interest rates on mortgages right now are the lowest they've ever been, not because there's no risk in mortgages, not because mortgages for somebody issuing them are great investment. No, but because I can sell them, I issue a mortgage, the bank can issue a mortgage, and sell it to the Fed. The Fed is driving those interest rates lower and lower and lower, decoupling completely. The interest rate on their mortgage from any risk, for any long-term risk. So it wouldn't surprise me they're holding up real estate prices in some places, encouraging people to take on debt in order to buy homes, but it's not just mortgage-backed securities. Now, the Fed reserves buying corporate bonds, bonds issued by corporations. And since this crisis has began, something like $1.3 trillion of new debt has been created by corporations. Corporations are going on a massive borrowing scheme. Why? You think that during a crisis like this, interest rates would go up because uncertainty is going up, because risk has gone up, because we don't know what the future holds. We're in an economic recession, depression that we've never experienced before because of the virus and the lockdowns. But no, interest rates have come down. It's become easier and easier and easier for corporation to borrow money. Why? Because the Fed is buying it. The Fed has purchased billions of dollars in corporate debt. And now recently, they've announced that they've been doing this using what they call exchange-traded funds. These are indexes, so they don't buy any particular bond. They just buy an index of bonds. Now they've announced that they're starting to buy specific bonds. And they're not going to require any kind of certification of those bonds. They're not going to require that the companies say that, for example, they can't raise debt anywhere else.  They're not going to say that the solvent, not bankrupt, to hell with that, the Fed's going to buy their debt anyway. The Fed is gobbling up, gobbling up debt, bonds, risky bonds. They don't care. Companies that should have failed during the financial crisis, during this crisis, and some companies should fail are not going to fail because they can borrow so cheaply.  High-yield bonds used to be called junk bonds. These are bonds of companies whose future suspect doesn't matter. We're going to buy their bonds too and lower their interest rates too, so that risky assets are now really cheap. The government is, the Federal Reserve is basically taking over the credit markets. More than that, it is establishing a program that is going to lend directly to small businesses, medium-sized businesses, not small, medium-sized businesses. $600 billion of direct lending. I mean, not direct, it's going to go through the banks, but the loans are going to sit at the Fed. The Fed basically is going to fund mid-sized businesses around the United States. In other words, and we know already that small businesses got the PPP loans directly from the Treasury. In other words, government now is by far the largest lender in the marketplace. It has just lent $660 billion to small businesses. It's about to lend $600 billion to medium-sized businesses, and it is buying billions and billions of dollars of securities, of bonds, of large businesses. Does anybody think we have any semblance of capitalism left? Our financial markets, which used to be the freest, most flexible, most dynamic financial markets in the world, are now shells of themselves. They are now completely controlled by the Federal Reserve, by central bank. They are now completely under the thumb of the Treasury Department. Freedom in the United States and the financial sector is out the window. It is gone. It is history, and we are granting the Federal Reserve more and more and more and more power. Indeed, there is rampant speculation on Wall Street that if the stock market declined significantly in the near future, the Federal Reserve would actually start buying stocks, which central banks, other places in the world, have already started doing. In other words, the central bank would now become an owner of the means of production. Not just a lender to the means of production, but an owner of the means of production. You're waiting for Democrats to bring you socialism? We already have socialism, and Donald Trump would like the Federal Reserve to do more, not less, to lower interest rates so much that they become negative. Like Europe, and Europe is doing so well, we should emulate them. So we have today a system through the Federal Reserve, which is basically turning this country into a socialist, fascist country. And there's no real difference between socialism and fascism. It's government control of the economy, and the Federal Reserve is facilitating it on a scale we have never seen in American history. It is destroying, destroying the meaning of the dollar, destroying the meaning of our money. And in some sense more importantly than that, it is destroying the meaning of debt. When everybody owes the government, the government gets to call the shots. The government becomes the owner. The government becomes the central planner of the entire economy. Never in American history have we seen the nationalization of so much of American assets, so much of American treasure, as we're seeing right now through the Federal Reserve, and through the Treasury Department. They've hooded on to that because what they're doing is they're bailing on companies, they have lending facilities, and they're helping the Fed do what they're doing. So government and the Fed, Fed is just one branch of government, but the executive branch and the Fed are working hand in hand basically to control the US economy. Never thought, and under the radar. It's not like they're going out there and buying whole chunks and taking equity stakes and whole chunks of the economy explicitly. This is all subvertly, under the table, without anybody noticing, without anybody seemingly caring. Indeed, if anything, financial markets are chewing this on. One of the reasons the stock market is going up and up and up in spite of the disaster that is the US economy right now, is because, what? It's because they've got a, the Greenspan put. If something goes bad in the market, the feds will just step in and buy. What can they lose? As long as the Fed is there to print money as much as they want, why not keep pricing stocks up? It is insanity. It is short-term. It is absurd. It is the delinking of our financial markets from any reality. But that is what central planning does. That's what statism does. That's what socialism does. And man, I never thought it would happen this fast in America. So not only are we falling apart culturally, not only is the government shutting us down through lockdowns, but on the side, where we're not watching, the Fed reserve is basically taking over whole markets and destroying the economy of this country. I don't care who gets elected in November, the economy of the United States is going to struggle for a long time. The distortions, the provisions created by the feds and the Treasury over the last few months are going to live with us for at least a decade. We are power in decline, not because China is rising, not because of competition, but because we've embraced socialism, we've embraced statism, we've embraced central planning. And we've done so again, just like in 2008, under a Republican president. Just want to point that out. Just like George Bush wanted to save capitalism by obliterating it. Well, I don't think Trump cares about capitalism, but Trump is basically given the Fed, given the Treasury Department carte blanche, spend as much money as you want. In order to make the American people think, feel, feel is better thinking is not acceptable, feel as if the economy is rebounding so that he can get reelected. Well, that's a little cynical, not only so he can get reelected, but just because that's how he functions, short term, unprincipled thinking. And to do that, flood the market with money, get the Fed buying everything, drive up asset prices. Everybody feels like they're richer, but it's fake. It's not real. It's insanity, insanity. And of course, the long term is slowly economic growth, no economic growth, high unemployment, or even low unemployment, but no economic growth, no wealth addition, no mobility, no social mobility, very little entrepreneurship, very new, little innovation. That is our future, sadly. That is our future. Sad and depressing. Sad and depressing. And of course, there is an alternative. The alternative is to return to an improved free banking system, to a gold standard that is fixed on manipulatable by government. And you would have to go to stages dissolving the Fed, shifting monetary powers to banks, getting rid of all the regulations and controls that the Fed has. But that is science fiction today. Nobody's even talking about that. Another alternative would be to prohibit the Federal Reserve from buying all these assets, prohibit the Federal Reserve from acting a central planning in chief, limiting the scope of what they can do, maybe to government bonds, and then giving them a rule, like a computer, where they respond in foreseeable ways. And there are all kinds of rules proposed out there.  It's just an unmitigated disaster and cannot be easily reversed. Cannot be easily reversed. We are so far away from free banking. We are so far away from private banking. We're so far away from getting rid of the Federal Reserve. It's almost not worth mentioning, and yet it's the only ultimate alternative to what we have today. Somebody says, Paul wants to get into the junk bomb market. He already is in the junk bomb market. He's buying indexes. He's buying exchange-traded indexes, index funds of high-yield bonds, which are junk bonds. Capitalism in America is dead. I'm announcing it here now. There is nothing left.  It's slowly dying. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.

This is an article from the Atlantic titled as fewer sex partners means a happier marriage. What a shocker, right?  Nicholas Wolfanger, a socialist, a sociologist, excuse me, at the University of Utah, has found that Americans who have only ever slept with their spouses are most likely to report being in a very happy marriage. Meanwhile, the lowest odds of marital happiness, about 13 percentage points lower than the one partner woman, belong to women who have had six to ten sexual partners in their lives. For men, there's still a dip in marital satisfaction after one partner, but it's never as low as it gets for women, as Wolfinger's graph shows. Basically, when you have too many partners, your ability to pair bond diminishes over time. One of the ways my old friends defend modeling, you might know him from YouTube. He described pair bonding like Velcro. And if you overuse Velcro, it eventually loses its stickiness, right? It doesn't work anymore after a while. This is true for men too, and people don't understand this about me and our events, but I firmly believe that and I wouldn't deny that. The issue is for women, it's an exponential fall off a cliff. It happens real fast, and the damage is real intense, and it doesn't go away nearly as easily, if at all.
