Good evening 40 here. So in places like Nascar and high schools and colleges There's this F Joe Biden chant Breaking out. And so I wanted to talk to my right wing friends. How do you feel about this? Obviously, this isn't traditional family values. I'm not a big fan of this chant and I wouldn't want to be in a crowd that was doing this as a friend. So I guess I'm opposed and my Friends says I prefer the passive aggressive. Let's go Brandon That's what it's saying F Joe Biden. There's the passive aggressive. Let's go Brandon Now another friend says how do you feel about a president who is clearly unfit for office? I don't think Joe Biden is clearly unfit for office. I Certainly don't think he's any less fit than Donald Trump or Barack Obama So I think Biden's doing an okay job And I think he's definitely running the show because his policies and the way he's operating Are exactly what you would expect from someone with his 50 year long track record in national politics So yeah, I'm not a big fan of F Joe Biden as a chant I would prefer a Republican I would refer Donald Trump in office, but I think Biden's doing okay It seems to me that Biden comes across and the Biden administration comes across as more competent with regard to COVID I'm not saying that they are I don't have like public health knowledge sufficient to make that claim But the Trump administration definitely came across as incompetent with regard to COVID and the Biden administration I think comes across as competent now There's no necessary connection between how you come across and and the facts on the ground. So I don't think I Don't think that the Trump administration did a particularly horrible job It's not clear that any industrialized Non-Asian nation did particularly well with with regard to COVID. So there's so much that we don't know So I don't think the United States was particularly incompetent under Trump But it certainly did come across that way something as it was filtered through in the media I think this played a big role in Trump losing a Small swing in the suburbs. So there was a 2% swing against Trump in the suburbs and I think I'll be much of that Was a reaction to To the administration seeming chaos with regard to COVID Now did France or Germany or Spain or the United Kingdom or Sweden or Norway Did any of these countries do substantially better with with regard to COVID? No, not really So another friend says when you shout shout I want a nice white country into the abyss f Joe Biden Shout her back at you Then a friend said I listened to a lot of Richard Spencer last night his reason for supporting Joe Biden the Democrat seems to be They are winning Well, I think I think Richard would say that the Democrats at this point are better for his concerns that they're more competent and Another friend says I was genuinely surprised when Richard was questioned about leading his movement off a cliff at Charlottesville He responded that movements have failures and he used Uncle A's failed beer hall push in what 1925 Like they got Uncle A and a bunch of others in jail.  I mean How insane is that comparison to justify your bad decisions? So I think humiliation has been good for Spencer But he's still clue clearly Substantially disengaged from reality and you'll know that when Spencer's made a change In a pro-social direction when he starts taking responsibility for his own bad decisions As long as people like Spencer or anyone you meet regards their problems is primarily the phone of other people Then you're dealing with a loser and someone who embraces a victimhood mentality someone who's able to say hey, I play a substantial role in my own troubles and that's someone I think who's much more touch with reality and My friends say that there's really no answer to Spencer's shift from Charlottesville and the alt-right to Joe Biden backer other than personal aggrandizement just showing how special I am and My friends as I've noticed this from all the great talents Michael Savage look forward Richard Spencer When leading an audience that has many potential competitors from the same right-wing camp It's it's a good strategy to quickly do a series of off-speed pitches to reassert that you have a distinct brand and That you become something special You avoid becoming run-of-the-mill and my friend says I would definitely be doing something similar If I had a mass audience with rivals and worrying we were becoming too similar. So this is another example of why Pundits are useless to what extent your present perceptions of Biden's competence vis-a-vis Trump shaped by radically different media coverage Each received. Yeah, it's I can't disentangle it from that So I think the media portrayed Trump is particularly incompetent with regard to COVID. I think they were harsh on him then Then reality would warrant given the troubles that other industrialized Western nations have had conducting COVID and the media of course vastly prefers Joe Biden and Yeah, Spencer took a lot of abuse from his own team at a certain point. You might have just said F you Michael Savage used to rail against moving the embassy to Jerusalem that was a needless provocation But for years previous to that he trashed those who worried about the sentiments of the Arab Street So Savage was just re-asserting an idiosyncratic identity apart from the Rush Limbaugh cartel Again pundits are useless and to the extent that I'm a pundit. I'm I'm equally useless Remember when Michael Savage was mad at Ann Coulter actually said how many effing Jews are there in America? I remember when Michael Savage used to attack Patrick Buchanan Saying he was trying on all these weird Nazi uniforms in private and then Michael Savage did a 180 degree and had him on for Buchanan's latest book So Michael Savage has always had a conflict with his inner Jew Now Victor Davis Hanson He has parted ways from national review. So how do you feel about that? So He says there are certain issues that would pop up occasionally and I could predict what the national review answer would be the Covington kids So Victor Davis Hanson's interesting Bloke who stands betwixt several worlds so on the one hand he has done some serious scholarship on The other hand he has churned out a ton of non-serious scholarship so much so that he's probably You know cross the line into hack. I Mean he crossed that line probably 20 years ago partisan hack But at one point he did do some some serious scholarship say 30 years ago then over the past 2025 years he's just become another partisan hack so He's Cross the line and once you cross that line to be just becoming another partisan hack I don't think you can ever return to your identity There's a serious scholar now So on the one hand he's got some serious scholarly credentials on the other hand. He's a partisan hack On on another hand. He's another Republican conservative on another hand He's outside basic Republican conservatism as a substantial bit of the American nationalist in him so he stands between normie Republican conservatism and nationalism So he's a little more edgy than national reviews so he's a little bit like Tucker Carlson and so he went on Tucker Carlson show and And Victor says he's part away with national review because they were just too eager to condemn people like the Covington kids or Donald Trump the access Hollywood tape or national review did a whole cover story against Donald Trump in something like January 2016 and He thought that national review was too hard on the January 6th rioters on Capitol Hill and Looking at outside the Beltway they say this conversation shows that tone policing is not just confined to the left of course Every group has has tone policing Victor David Hansen has always been a right winger. He's usually been fairly normie conservative He's also defended What outside the Beltway cause some of the rights outrageous conspiracy theories? I'm not sure which ones they're talking about in particular and So this this perspective says Victor is upset that what's left of what Bill Buckley built is still clean some semblance of rational argument and principles So it's hilarious that there was a reporter at Talladega Thinking that the crowd chanting F. Joe Biden was cheering. Let's go Brandon in honor of Brandon Brown's victory So apparently after buying to become a regular thing at football games in the South So yeah, we've become politically polarized and Nascar and SEC fans Are all riled up. They think Trump got a real deal So right now Trump is looking good for 2024 and there's an article in the Washington Post About that. So Democrats are concerned about Republicans winning three key governor's races so Greg Sargent who's a sometimes insightful left winger He writes a column for the Washington Post. He says the Trump threat may soon get worse. Here's the under the radar reason for it and Democrats are worried about three gubernatorial races in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan So in all three states there are GOP controlled legislatures And if any of the three Democratic governors replace with a Republican it will mean unified GOP control Which will from a Democratic perspective or a media perspective means will ramp up voter suppression and other anti-majoritarian Tactics, I don't think that Republicans are really ramping up voter suppression. There may be a very mild mild Verging on insignificant amount of voter suppression But from a left wing or a mainstream media perspective, this looks like election subversion I think that's overstating it, but I'm kind of in between. I haven't haven't fully Work things out here. Very interesting article in the New York Times an op-ed column Trump's true believers have their reasons. So I love Thomas B. Edsel He always publishes an informed column once a week on on Wednesdays So who believes the claim that Donald Trump won in 2020 in the election was stolen from him So apparently 35% of Americans believe that Biden's victory was illegitimate 6% say they are not sure So those who believe that Biden's victory was illegitimate a disproportionately white Republican order less educated more conservative more religious more Protestant and more likely to Describe themselves as born again So people who believe in replacement theory that immigrants are invading our country replacing our cultural and ethnic background 60% of Republicans agree 55% of conservatives So I don't think replacing our cultural and ethnic backgrounds are a strong argument. You could argue it's diminishing its influence So apparently 70% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump but This is easy to say you believe that but very few are actually doing anything about it Because if they really believe that seriously, then they they would try to document their case and so far Attempts to document this case have been absolutely pathetic. So I think this is more an expression of anger rather than some deeply thought through perspective Republic white Republicans with college degrees 51% believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump And this level of belief is remaining consistently strong Over 60% among Republicans of all ages living in rural suburban and urban areas So what's going on? so From from the left wing academic perspectives This is because of a growing preference for right wing authoritarianism by Republicans So they're turning to aggression to change our political structure To maintain their group group based hierarchies and I think that's accurate Another way of phrasing this is that christianity in the south is becoming more muscular So what explains the appeal of authoritarian values?  We need more authority And remember even within every working democracy a substantial elements of dictatorship There's never been a democrat working democracy does not have substantial elements of dictatorship so Some people simply want a little bit more top-down policy People want a little bit more authority So what explains the appeal of authoritarian values? Well, I would say most of the appeal comes from people are disgusted by the results of democracy They see their country being polluted So what problems Are so for people who embarrass who embrace authoritarian values So apparently authoritarian messages Influence people on two levels It makes them feel happier And it enhances their meaning in life Okay, so it gives people Embracing a more authoritarian approach apparently gives people more happiness More significance and more meaning. All right. Those are pretty substantial contributions. So embracing a right-wing authoritarian response gives you a feeling of significance that your life and contributions matter You have purpose Your life is driven by the pursuit of valued goals your life has coherence your goals comprehensible And you believe that the world and life makes sense. You have something to work towards So you might think authoritarianism Where people sacrifice their personal freedom to a strong leader would diminish meaning in life because you you you think that you feel less personal significance but When you embrace an authoritarian solution, I think whether it's right wing or left wing It probably gives you more meaning in life You have more of a sense that your life matters So saying we need, you know, a strong authority to take charge And and then as a supporter of this you get a sense of symbolic or vicarious significance through the strong leader So I like that. I think that's true embracing authoritarian solutions Does help people get a sense of happiness in a sense that their lives matter and adds coherence to the universe And lets them feel significance vicarious and otherwise People want a life that works people want a life that matters And people need to make sense of the world right people not down in general living with not knowing people want coherence in the universe and coherence largely exists in the artificial structures that we impose from our thinking All right, the outside world is so confusing that the the only major coherence we get Is from structures from our minds that we then impose upon reality So I think a lot of this is when people feel insignificant. They seek out groups and policies and leaders That will empower them with the feeling of significance so You can I think you can understand much of what people do From a drive for feeling significant. We all want to feel important We all want to matter and we all want to make sense out of reality And we all want our values to triumph So endorsing authoritarianism creates high meaning in life Interesting Look seems to me that all these academic deconstructions are right wing motivations or just dressing up damning with faint praise Well, it's either accurate or it's not and so I believe that our politics primarily or at least partly comes out of our biology and you can You can get a gauge of someone's political instincts by the intensity for example of their disgust reflex so I think people want to feel significant. That's absolutely true and when people Embrace the trump phenomena. I think it allowed Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people who otherwise did not feel particularly significant Who felt that the country had left them behind to find meaning and purpose and significance How does believing in radical egalitarianism bring us coherence? How does it make us feel better? Good good questions, but I am not primarily a scholar of The left. I am primarily someone who's interested in right-wing thought and that means I'm interested at times in left-wing critiques A right-wing thought and I'm interested in the the real thing the right-wing thought itself So I'm not particularly interested in in the left Yeah, did democracy bring same-sex marriage or did critocracy meaning judge made law Because same-sex marriage lost on the california referendum so Gay marriage was a top-down policy not a populist democratic policy, but it has one popular support And in many countries it has one overwhelming popular supports close to About two-thirds of australians voted for same-sex marriage And so it seems according to polls and surveys in almost all western industrialized countries A strong majority of the country believes in same-sex marriage now this movement was driven from the top driven down Into society, but it's it's one right now overwhelming majorities in all industrialized nations of which i'm aware strongly support same-sex marriage Which is just completely unfathomable from a perspective from 30 years ago. So yeah social norms have changed And it's left people with a traditional perspective They're mind-spinning like you know what the hell's going on here? Let's go brandon Let's go brandon


What's up boys, man if you guys are liking these videos you're liking these gameplays every day You're liking the content push Please hit that like button and subscribe when closing in on 30,000 subscribers and the twitch has been popping every single night This is my main team. I'll be honest. I've pretty much been playing no money spent for the most part But we gotta get back to the main team tighten up because October is tournament month We'll be playing ladders every weekend the tournament is towards the end of October So let's take a look at what my main team is looking like if you're comp You're pretty much rocking a Raiders team team and that's what we went ahead and got we got 50 50 Raiders We got Dan the man Marino. I told you guys you guys watch me play with with Cam Newton. It was fun. It was great It was good, but I Think Dan Marino is the best we have conductor Sefi lead hot route match So we still have three post-ups and we got Jay rice and Jay Ryzen and TJ Hushman Zada was a big fan of TJ Hushman Zada when he was with the Bengals with Chad Johnson great duo Even with Chris Henry if you guys remember they were a beast madden team back in the day, too I put slaughtermatic on him why because Christian Kirk has slaughtermatic and he goes crazy So why not try it on the good players? You see with Raiders He has 94 speed that 91 short route running TJ is a beast six foot two not the tallest but definitely not short So there we go We'll have rice who is at 96 speed rising at 95 speed lot of Raiders Darren Waller at 91 speed defensively. We are going to have a lot of Raiders Philip Buchanan Mike Haines We're going to have Diablo we're gonna Shawn Taylor Ed Reid. We got Reggie Nelson. We got we've got super miles Garrett Who I think is the best the tackle in the game right now the best D lineman in the game He is the limited is he worth it?  We got unpredictable on them I don't know if it's good or not. I can't even tell you guys, but we have a lot of Raiders We do have their Raiders theme team. I think it's the most comp theme team in the game right now So if you guys are looking to go theme team Raiders is the way to go So let's see how this Raiders theme team does in my first night playing with them first night with TJ Who's miss out I believe this was my first game with them the who's miss out at and the Raiders debut Let's get to a member if you like in the videos, please hit that like button. Let's get into So like when is it enough, right? Shaunty good play bro. Good play Good play kid. Good play.  I mean dude, that's why I don't want to get rid of them y'all. Oh, Andre rising is it All right, you need this type of lead you need this type of lead yep You need this you need this I get an auto hurdle thing. I hit stick by the computer nice Nice nice, bro Can't lie TJ got bagged your boy TJ got bagged by I don't even know who he got bagged by It's not a good look y'all told me TJ was cracked.  I mean bro.  Oh, you got secure protect on the center dude would have secure protector on the center. Oh My god Dude, I want my And he just begs Andre rising and TJ who's from his out of these dudes. I need Kirk. I need Kirk bro, dude This dude TJ has dropped three passes Dude, I fumbled to the crib. He lost me for touchdown the first play like brief legs.  He's sitting there waiting for me Do you see him sitting there waiting for me to show the play art y'all see y'all see it. I mean God TJ TJ. Okay.  Yo, TJ is What Jerry's it? I know that I bounce. Thank you. Please pick this ball off. Please. Thank you I'm really good on this man.   Let's go Reggie. He quarterback me tastes sweet. This is money. Oh My god, what a kick bro. I didn't put it over there He's gonna tuck his dead watch watch how crazy he tucks his nuts in this drive. Watch how many inside zones We're about to get right here. Watch it. Okay. Okay. Okay pick pick. Oh, he just stopped Somebody picked this. Oh my god Oh Thank God, you did that. Oh my God Thank God now we got love Go get the court who is who is the right stick clicking right there? Who is it? How is 82 speed that much fast? That's what I mean The quarterback is ten speed faster than anybody else on the field. He really is it's sad That's what I want to go back to when the quarterback can't run I don't know. I knew he was blitzing and I'm I only had one person I could throw to I had one person I could actually go to ball to let's go Sean Alexander Welcome to the team, baby. I know what I'm missing right now. I know everything. I'm missing right now. I Can't lie that tackle stopped me from making a decision on what I was gonna do right there It stopped me from making a decision Love to see those vibes in the chat Bro, I tried to throw it away. What I am like, that's so lucky that he just ran What are you guarding like What are you trying kid now? This is where you honestly don't even I know I know what you do there Marino Marino. Yeah You don't pass there because you could lose you could have lost on a on a pick six or something Yeah, you can't you can't throw a pick six. It was a run 100% and I was not passing the ball If there was like 30 seconds you you go for two for real thanks for playing I preach some of y'all bet on him where all y'all that was talking like he really won That's all I want to know some of y'all were betting I was down 27 to 7 I was but I told y'all we win this game I told y'all he sucks after he sucks at the video game. I can't lie TJ was getting kind of bagged in the first half. I didn't like it. It's a couple things I saw that now I need like I need on my team now. It's things that I need GG's GG's GG's have the GG's


Dr. P here. I wanted to share with you one of my passions, which is teaching and Bring to your attention our upcoming Subspecialty MSK remote fellowship. So these fellowships are each five-way courses. They cover a total of 25 MR cases in detail with personal feedback on your reports from very advanced fellowship trained radiologists You can earn 25 CME through this remote fellowship And I really hope you'll join me for this great course the spots are limited. So please hurry up and sign sign up today


Our group consisted of basically me and Dr. Vidae who couldn't be here today. But we thought that one of the things that we could very well easily do is to, but we have is a combined dental electronic health record and, I'm sorry, combined electronic health record and combined electronic dental record. One of the things that we could do is to work with the pharmacogenetics group in implementing, for example, warfarin pharmacogenetics testing prior to dental procedures, because often we have to let the warfarin levels go down so that before these kinds of procedures to prevent excessive bleeding during dental procedures. So that timing of the warfarin withdrawal prior to dental procedures is quite important and can be predicted genetically, as well as, for example, SIP-2D6 for pain management. So that's one type of thing that we'd like to work with other groups that also have dental clinics. And in addition, we thought in terms of the periodontal disease and microbiome type, we would be pleased to work with others in particular to identify their diabetes patients. What the requirements for this would be diabetes patients and controls that already have genome-wide association studies and dental access. And basically what we'd like to know is if periodontal disease and or the oral microbiome can actually stratify some of those genetic signals and whether or not we could be more predictive for type 2 diabetes susceptibility and outcomes. So how this might work, for example, would be to have non-diabetic patients, pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics, and then compare them in terms of periodontal disease state for each SNP, for example, and similarly for the oral microbiome. And the potential outcomes from this would be to begin a dental pharmacogenetics study. That's what I talked about first. And then better understanding of risk for type 2 diabetes, onset severity and control, as well as, as I said, drilling down to better understand the genetics of type 2 diabetes and the role of the environment in type 2 diabetes. And this could be expanded to other disorders linked to periodontal disease, for example, coronary artery disease. So because we were so lonely yesterday, I thought that what we would do is to contact those UVU institutions where there are dental schools or dental services and detail this and see if there's any interest in following any of these up. So thank you for your time. Questions or comments? Mark, as usual. Mark, as usual. Right. So I'll go before Mark. So did your group discuss the role of the dentist in genomic medicine, and could you conceive of some projects that might be sort of implementation projects to get dentists to capture saliva, relevant biological samples that might be relevant, both the microbiome type of samples, which I'm not sure how challenging those are to ascertain in a meaningful and standardized way, but also samples that could be used for DNA analysis, at least from my perspective, people, I see my dentist much more frequently than I see my primary care physician, and that's possibly another avenue to implement genomic medicine. Yes. So basically this is part of our project in oral systemic health, and we will be working with our dentist, the Marshfield Clinic dentist, who see the same patients that we see in the clinic. And we're training dental hygienists to be able to take these microbiome samples. Each of these participants in this study will, we will get DNA, I'm sorry, blood for DNA, plasma, and serum. There'll be standard clinical tests, including hemoglobin A1C, fasting glucose, et cetera, lipids. And then we're also, they'll also be seen periodically every six months. So that's kind of the way we're trying to do this. So one advantage that we have is that the Marshfield Clinic is sort of a conglomerate. We have our medical clinics, we have our dental clinics. We also run our own health care plan, security health plan, and we have our own electronic health records and electronic dental records, and those are combined. And since the dentists also work for us, we can work with them and try to combine this to have pharmacogenetics for dentistry. They might be, actually it might be easier to work with the dentist in some way than the general practitioners, so. Just parenthetically, I thought it was interesting you used the term drill down in your dental. But if we set that aside for a second. You know, one of the things we've talked about peripherally has been how do we engage and get the attention of decision makers to say, hey, this is really important. And I really like the idea of the pharmacogenomics for warfarin withdrawal for dental procedures. I can tell you that anecdotally at our place, we hear a lot about canceled surgical procedures based on the fact that the patient's INR is not within an acceptable range for surgery. And again, we presume it as you have presumed that some of that is due to the different pharmacogenomic variants. That's something canceled surgeries are, you know, that's a resource waste for that organization. And if we could do something to actually move the needle using the dental procedures as a pilot and then expanding it to all surgical procedures for patients on warfarin and show that we can actually decrease the number of canceled surgeries as a primary outcome, that would be something that would really get the attention of administrators and say, hey, maybe there's something to this. So I think that's a really good project. Speaking as someone who's not yet a geisinger who has a dental clinic, apparently, who knew, I think we'd be interested in exploring that. Excellent. Yeah. Thanks. One is coming back to some of the comments made yesterday. The endpoints that really drive this in practice are goofy little things like that. And so I think that's really important. We've done a little bit of work with people in planting devices for cardiac disease who have the exact same problem. And that's except they think they know how to manage warfarin. At least the dentist freely admit they don't have a clue how to manage warfarin. But it's the same issue. You think there's a three-day protocol. They do the three days. They're not ready. They can't cancel, et cetera. Right. I think there's something there. The other piece is that there are a decent-sized group of boutique dentistry groups out there who are doing pharmacogenetics already. And we've consulted for them a little bit. Others have probably in this room as well. And they've decided that for the pain control, not so much for warfarin, more for pain control, that their patients are special and they want to know about this ahead of time. And their patients are willing to pay for it. And so they're doing it. And so there's a company's name. Algenomics, I think, is the company that has a whole suite of different tests that they're developing around dental pain and around dental syndromes. So there are some early adopters already out there in this space. But I like your idea of going to the more generalist dentist and trying to do something exciting. And also we're planning. We also are training some of these dentists. We have a whole residency program. And eventually we hope to have a dental school. So this could all be part of their training and practice. Okay. Thank you very much. I think what we'll do is since now is the time for break, we'll take a 15-minute break now and then resume with Jeff.


Cavalcade of America. For more than 130 years, almost as long as this nation has lived, the name of DuPont has been associated with this country's progress. So it seems appropriate that DuPont should have the privilege of presenting this series of episodes, taken truthfully from American history, to remind us that from the earliest days to the present time, the American people have stood for the staunch and simple qualities that form our heritage. A group of distinguished educators prominent in the American Historical Association is working with DuPont to achieve the spirit of historical accuracy. Today as ever, America has filled the face in the future and courage to move ahead.  DuPont sees it in the tireless research of its chemists, working to discover and create useful materials and products that make life happier and safer. It is the hope of DuPont that these stories from the pages of our country's history will awaken in the Americans of today a renewed ride in the Americans who went before us, in the Cavalcade of America. We are happy to announce that the leading parts in this evening's performance will be played by one of Hollywood's most brilliant young stars, Francho Tone. Several distinguished visitors are with him here in the studio. One of them is Ms. Joan Crawford, who's marriage to Mr. Tone was announced the day before yesterday. Other members of his family are here, including Mr. Tone's father, Dr. Frank J. Tone. It is especially fitting that Dr. Tone should be present at this program dedicated to the achievements of chemistry, because only a few days ago he received the Atchison Medal and Prize awarded by the Electrochemical Society for his outstanding accomplishments in electrothermic. Tonight you will hear the voice of Francho Tone in each of our two episodes. In the first is the young engineer who found the path for the first transcontinental railway over the Sierra and in the second as the air mail pilot who blazed the first guy trail high above those mountains. As the American Cavalcade passes in review tonight, we set our stage for the year 1860 with some melodies that were familiar to the unsung heroes who won for us the glamorous way. Let us turn back history's pages to the year 1860. From Salt Lake City, Utah, the overland stage starts westward across the desert. Among the passengers are a young Connecticut ganky Theodore Duda and his wife.  Well, a little. Let me wrap the blanket around you. Thank you, dear. Yeah, how's that? Oh, much better. I had no idea the desert would be so cold. Now you know why they warn passengers to carry extra blankets and wear thick socks and heavy underwear. Oh, it's disgraceful to be traveling like this in the year 1860. Yes, but think what it must have been like in 1849. I'd rather look ahead and imagine what it'll be in 1869. No more rattling stages drawn by mule teams. Of course, camping by the roadside, cooking your own meals, expecting any minute to be attacked by Indians. A shining iron rail stretching from coast to coast. You'll really think there'll be a transcontinental railroad by that time, Theodore. There's got to be. Yes, but the desert and the mountains. Mountains are no mountains. The east and west have got to be joined together. The only way this country of ours will ever develop. You've already proved that the Rockies can be crossed. But the Sierras. Are the Sierras really so terrible? Terrible and magnificent. A jagged, snow-covered barrier that rises to the sky and defies all men. And still, you say? The Sierras are not impassable, I'm sure of it. I'm sure that somewhere over those mountains is a path where a railroad could be laid. Only I can find it. We will. We? You and I, together. But, Anna... Oh, I'm not an engineer, but I am a good cook. I can even help with survey rods and blinds. Anna, just go with me. Up into the Sierras? Oh, if you'll let me, Sierda. I'd like to feel that I'd had a little part. I don't care how little in making this dream of yours come true. If everybody had your phrase, Anna, we wouldn't have to cross the Sierras. We'd move them! Ah, yes. In the city of Sacramento, in that same year of 1860, was a hardware store run by two merchants, Thomas B. Huntington and Mark Hopkins. A prosperous store it was, too. For after all, whether gold-seekers succeed or fail, they must have picks and spades and pans. Into the store one day, come Sierda or Judah. Mr. Huntington? Yes. My name's Judah. Sierda or Judah. He talks like a Yankee. I am, from Connecticut. Well, don't go trying to sell me any wooden nutmegs. I come from Connecticut myself. I know better than to try anything like that on you no matter where you came from. They tell me you're the smartest storekeeper in California, Mr. Huntington. Stop shopping, ma'am. Well, what is it you want? Slub steak? Yes. A little late, joining up with the gold rush, aren't you? I'm not out here looking for gold. No? I'm out here making a survey for the transcontinental railroad. What? Oh, no, it hasn't gone through yet. It's still just a dream in men's minds. But if we can cross the Sierras... Yes, just try and cross the Sierras. That's just what we're going to do. Huh? We're going up into those tough old mountains where my wife and I look for a path. A path where iron rails can be laid and trains can travel. Any train that crosses the Sierras will have to climb up to the stars and down again. You can look, but you'll never find a path. Well, that's what everyone else says. But I didn't think you would. I thought you were the kind of man who'd realize that we've got to have a railroad connecting California with the east. The iron is head can see that we are two, but anybody with an iron is head can see the Sierras, too. And if you'd ever been up in them... I have been. When I was out here before. Oh. Oh, this isn't your first trip west. Oh, I came out in 54. I was in charge of construction on the line from Folsom up to the Sacramento. Before that, I was construction man on the Troy and Buffalo branches of the New York Central. I didn't know you were an engineer.  If you don't part with your money easily, you'll gamble it away. That's right. But I'm going to ask you to gamble this one. Gambling some money on its Sierras into the Sierras. We have no money. We've got to get somebody to stake it. It's a wild goose case. A goose that may lay golden eggs someday. Well, I can't give you any money. But I'll tell you what I will do. I'll give you a barrel of flour. Oh, thank you. That'll help keep you alive anyhow while you're camping up there. You think he'd be willing to configure something? Mark, he might. He might stop down the street, too, at Stanford and Crocker's. They run the general store. They live in Stanford and Charlie Crocker. They ought to be good for $10 apiece. Oh, thanks. You're very kind. And when you come back from this ship of yours, come around and see us. Because if there is a pass over the Sierras... There he is. And we are going to find it. Huntington was as good as his word. Stanford, Hopkins, and Crocker each contributed. Third by the vision of a young engineer. Eastward and upward, the Connecticut Yankee and his gallant little wife worked their way. Higher and higher into the Grimm Sierras. 1,945. Almost 7,000 feet. We... I guess we've reached the summit, haven't we? The summit. Over the next rise, only a few hundred feet more. And... and then... Then, we'll know. Yeah. Now, let's stop here. Just for a minute. You're feeling sick? No, I... I just can't seem to breathe. Oh, it's the altitude. No, it's here. I'm afraid, then. I'm afraid to climb that rise and see what's beyond. I suppose it should be the end of this passage we've been following all these weeks. A sheer drop, maybe. No, no. Now, don't even speak of such a thing. All after all, we've been through. Or it would be too cruel. Since when have the Sierras ever been kind? Have they done that best to defeat us? To block us? With walls aloft? Sweep us back with rushing rivers? Barriers a hundred feet deep in snow? The impassable Sierras. No, they're not impassable. For men can build bridges across those rivers and blast rocks away, call off barriers against snow. You've said so yourself. A railroad that climbs to the stars. To the stars? To this place where we're standing? And from here? Let's go and look. When you make it, Anna?  No, I want you with me. Beside me. The wind. It's so strong. Now hold onto my arms. Is that better? We're almost to the top, Anna. I can begin to see over the rise and beyond. Tell me. What do you see? A railroad climbs to the stars, starting down again. Down an easy grave, winding around that mountain ahead, traveling down through the past. For it is the past, Anna. We've found what we were looking for. The past, through the sea hours. The past for the first railroad across America. And so it was because of the determination of a man whose name is no longer remembered, that the east and west were wedded with a band of ire. But as the American cavalcade moved onward, the people became restless for greater speed, for faster communication between the Atlantic and Pacific. The temple of America quicker and its faster pace is reflected in the music of our modern days. Landing commerce demanded quicker means of transacting business. The mails are too slow with the cry of the days. In Washington, D.C., one morning in January 1918, Otto Prager, assistant to Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson, stands with his superior, looking out of the window, at Spargy Winter Day. Had a chance to grow the newspaper clippings today, Chief? Yes, I've seen them. More attacks from mail service. Speed, speed, they all want speed. Well, we'll give it to them. As soon as we find a way to develop the air mail, that'll be the answer. I've been thinking about it constantly. But I'm always stopped by one thought. Could we make the air mail regular, day by day, without interruption? Well, it's a big order, I know, Chief. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility. Come over here to the window a minute. Look at that fog. Hmm, pretty thick. You suppose those aviators could fly in weather like this? I wouldn't be surprised. Why? Well, if they could make regularly scheduled flights with mail no matter what the weather, I think I could get Congress to appropriate $50,000 for an experimental line. I've been thinking about that, too, Chief. Suppose we get in touch with Colonel Deed. He has charge of Army training and air service. All right. Call him. Operator, I want to talk to Colonel E.A.D. at Army Headquarters. Colonel Deed, yes, Mr. Prager. Thank you. I think this idea might appeal to Deed, Mr. Browson. If you'll support us, after battle is over. Colonel Deed speaking. Well, hello. This is Art of Prager, Colonel. Hello, Mr. Prager. I'm here with the Postmaster General. We've been talking about the matter if your boys could fly the mail in weather like this. Why not? Well, if they can, Postmaster General believes Congress will approve an air mail service. Fine idea. We'll do it for you. We'll supply the planes and spines. Thank you, Colonel. Mr. Browson, I'll come over and see you this afternoon. Goodbye. Chief, there's the answer. Deed says the Army can do it. Thus, in 1918, the air mail service was scheduled to begin the first route between Washington and New York. One day in May, Washington correspondents and cameraman hurried to the Thomas Park. All officials on this air, the band displaying hails for chief, President Woodrow Wilson is there with various other dignitaries, and an Army lieutenant chosen to fly the first sack of mail which weighed only four and a half pounds. You all set, Lieutenant? Any time the work is given, Mr. Prager. Lieutenant, in delivering this letter to the post office of New York City, you officially inaugurate the first flight of our government air mail service. I wish you luck, and Godspeed. May we have a picture, Mr. Browson? Hold it a moment, please. All right, boys, all right. Don't keep it too long, please. Just remember that the mail is supposed to be delivered on time. Okay, thank you. We've got it. All right, Lieutenant. Time to go. Very well, sir. I'm on my way. Zooming into the air, the pilot arches and dips in respect to the dignitaries below. Wheeling again, he heads for the distant horizon. The crowd disperses. The officials return to their offices, congratulating themselves on a new era in the transportation of the mail. Meanwhile, the pilot is winging his way. Suddenly, his engine begins to miss. In a moment, he knows he must make a force landing. Frighting a field, he knows it's a plane downward. What in the world is this fellow doing in my field? Hi! What should I do landing in my field? Sorry, it couldn't be helped. That engine's trouble. Well, what are you doing over this way? I don't see many of you fellows over my place. All right, this is the first official air mail flight from Washington to New York. New York, eh? Are you going by way of the South Pole? What do you mean, South Pole? Well, I'm sorry to tell you, mister, but you're in Maryland. It is 25 miles southeast of Washington. In spite of this inauspicious beginning, Burleson and Prager proceeded to develop the air mail service. In August 1918, the post office decided it was ready to take over the job. It encountered trouble at every turn. The climax came one day in Belmont Park, New York, when pilots looking at storm clouds refused to leave crowds. It appealed to get the mail through falling on deaf ears. The superintendent wired Prager in Washington. The office of postmaster general, Washington. Mail's not leaving today. Weather bad. No visibility. Signed superintendent, Belmont Park. Belmont Park, New York. Visibility unnecessary. Fly by compass. The mail must go. Signed Prager. And go with this, slowly and section by section. It took a year to get the service as far west as Omaha, where, on the morning of September 8th, 1920, a plane stands in readiness in the airport. A mail truck moves up behind the waiting plane. Its driver leaks out, opens the back, and drags out a pack of mail bound for the Pacific coast. Okay, Jack, is that everything? We'd like a look to the weather, Mike. Well, the ceiling is down a bit. The port could be a lot worse. All the days worked, Jack. The port is raining all the way to the coast. I'll try my butt out. What's the good old mail slogan say? No snow, no rain, no heat, no night. Stay these carriers. Well, that means on land and sea. That means on land and sea, and now the air. I'll get through. Okay. See what you do. I got a postcard to a gallon frisco in that bag. I'll give you a loving person. Okay. Into the dark skies, the plane zooms toward the western horizon. Tire its thaws until it disappears into the clouds. Far ahead, the rugged peaks of the rocky, suddenly horizon. The pilot noses his ship upward 12,000 feet above the earth. Now the great salt desert stretches out below. The pilot sears his plane down the pass to Salt Lake City and sets it down on the airport field. How much? 15 minutes. I was flying around looking for a hole in the ceiling. A strong headwind. How's the weather? Oh, not bad. What's the report from the west? Not so good from here on. Fog, rain, snow, and the fierce. You just got a call from headquarters. You don't need to go on. What do you mean? No definite orders for you to continue. It's a volunteer job. Oh. Well, I've gone this far. Oh, now go the rest of the way. Hurry up with the refueling while I spec a little. Mechanics fuel and test plane. In a few minutes it is ready. Upset sores again into the western sky. Fog and clouds close in. Only the compass is nearby now. Darkness settles down as the pilot pushes on. Alone. Come on, you old crate. Climb. Climb. 12. 15. Oh, 15,000, Arson. I was amazed. Oh, but I'm sleepy. It was if I'd been up here for a day. I wonder what time it is. Hey, is this what's up? Must be later than that. You can't fall asleep. Keep talking to yourself. Talk to yourself. I never thought so cold in my life. But if I fall into the wings, I'm through. Maybe I'm through anyway. I'm not just going. I ought to be somewhere near Frisco. Maybe I've passed an amount over the ocean. Well, they warned me. I'm volunteer. Can't blame anyone but myself. I go west as my own funeral. It's no way to talk. No snow, no rain, no heat, no fog. I've got to get down. See where I am. It's my only chance. I've got to get down. I've got to get up. I've got to get up. I've got to get up. Wake up! Wake up! I've got to get down. At the San Francisco airport, a crowd of citizens, city officials, and officers at the post office, anxiously scan the sky. Impatience for the sight of the plane. Minutes dragged seamlessly as they searched the horizon. He should have been here half an hour ago. What happened? Flying a bad course over the mountains and the desert. The clouds seem to be breaking. There ought to be a moon. Listen, is that a plane? I hear a thing. No, I hear a two. Look there, coming through that cloud. Still dark to see. Light up the field. That's a pretty dim light for a man. The plane's a plane. I see him now. He must have sighted the field. Here's your mail. The continent has been spanned by the air mail. Just as east and west we are united by the first San's Continental Railroad 51 years before. And today, this can happen in the New York office, where a business executive is dictating a letter to his secretary. And please have these contracts executed and sent to me by a return air mail. It is imperative that signed copies reach New York, not later than day after tomorrow. That's very true. That's all. Thank you. Be sure to put an air mail stamp on that, Miss Brown. Yes, sir, I will. It's got to be in Frisco tomorrow. How simple it all seems today, when 3,000 miles is only an overnight journey. To those who made it possible, who blazed our trails on land and in the air. We salute them, unsung heroes of the cavalcade of America. What a picture one gets from these stories of the fundamental characteristics of the American people.  Those stalwart Americans passed on to us their traditions, their spirit and courage. And in every walk of life in this year, 1935, Americans are doing their part to carry on. But today, instead of striving to span the continent, new achievements are being won in agriculture, engineering, medicine, chemistry, and another pursuit of life. It's said that we live in the age of chemistry. And it's true that life is being made easier and happier from year to year because research chemists, like the pioneers of American history, are constantly looking ahead, solving the riddles of nature. Chemists are improving nature's materials, even creating things that nature fails to supply. To mention one example, consider the varied uses created out of coal tar, an ugly substance for which no use was formerly known. From this unattractive raw material, DuPont produces useful dyes that help make American textile industries independent of foreign supplies, perfumes for soap, and the bases for antiseptic, chemicals that improve gasoline. Also, in cooperation with the rubber industry, other chemicals have been produced from coal tar to give rubber longer wear, whether it be in a hot water bottle or in an auto tire. The story of coal tar is only one example of the way DuPont chemists create better things for better living through chemistry. Next Wednesday evening at this same time, DuPont will again present the Cavalcade of America. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

What's going on everybody? Welcome to another video. I'm trying to keep it down a little bit today on this old Sunday. I'm actually about to teach you guys how to throw a shaky head today. I had a lot of comments by everybody saying, you know, how do you throw a shaky head? For a lot of people it's going to be really simple since they've been probably throwing a shaky head for a while but I thought I'd make this video for the people who haven't. I haven't really thrown one much. Don't really know what a shaky head is and it is one great way to catch some fish.  You will get some bites on that. So today I actually brought out a few packs of tripworms. I brought some natural colors and then I brought some dark colors as well. This one is watermelon slice. So let me let me show you. It's like a split color. Got a little bit of like green pumpkin on top and it's got like a watermelon around the bottom. So it's like a darker color. It's not it's not too light and then I also have just a regular watermelon seed worm right there and one right here as well. This is the bigger one. This is the smaller one and then I got a few shaky heads in here that we're going to be using. You can actually get these at Walmart. These are just a little spot remover shaky heads. That's what they're called. You can get them at Walmart fairly inexpensive. You can get standard old little tripworms at Walmart as well. Really simple. I was going to take you there today but I currently do not have enough time to go do that right now. So we're about to go out there. We're going to tie this bad boy on my rod. If you guys are wondering which one I'm using. I'm using a fake chrome by Thirteen Fishing. Then I got an old Concept A reel right here and this is on 15 pound Seaguar fluorocarbon and Visex.  I'd say around 90 to 95% of people are going to throw one on a spinning rod just because it's a lot easier to throw. It's a light bait. You can get it out there. It's more finesse on a spinning rod but I use a baitcaster. I don't use spinning rods often at all. If I do it's on a net rig or it's on a drop shot. So I am going to put mine on a baitcaster today and I'll teach you guys a little bit about that.  One, as you guys can tell, I got my old shaky head right there. Just a little 316 ounce head. Like I said, this is spot remover. Then I got that little finesse worm by Zoom on. You can also throw the little shaky head worms that they actually bake. It has a little pointer end on it. It's not like the standard old finesse tail. But I'm going to start off by fishing, actually see a fish right here. I spooked him. You saw me.  It's just a standard old finesse bait guy. It's just like if I was going to take a drop shot or the net rig or any other finesse bait out here on a lake or on a pond. It all just depends. This is one of those baits that you're going to want to have on your boat at all times or have with you at all times. Because when these fish are super finicky, say as bluebird skies out, it's super rough conditions. Zero to no wind. Pretty much like today, except there is some clouds out. This fish are really lethargic. Whatever the case is, that pressure is really high. You're going to need a shaky head. When these fish are slow, this is the perfect bait to throw in and trigger those fish to eat. One thing I'm going to show you guys right now. As you guys can tell, I got a little bit of grass on this thing right there. That is one thing with a shaky head. If I could pick between a shaky head and an old Texas rig right now, I'd be throwing a Texas rig. Me, personally, this thing's going to be really good to throw on like a hard bottom and you can throw it on some rocks as well. I tend to throw that old Texas rig.  These things are just like tools. I feel like some people don't understand that when it comes to fishing.  It's all going to depend on the conditions, guys. Just think of all these fishing baits as tools. When you're coming out here, just figure out what you're doing, figure out the conditions, figure out what you're going to have to throw for the day. Pretty much, I want to teach you guys how to work this thing now. It's very, very, very simple. What you're going to do, get your old shaky head, cast them out there. All right, let them hit the bottom, just like any other slow moving bait. There's a ton of different approaches to this, all depending on the day or how the fish want it. You can simply drag it. All right. Simply just dragging this thing on the bottom. Maybe pop your rod every once in a while. Just like that. It just depends on the day. That's more of a slower approach to a shaky head. Most of the time when I'm throwing a shaky head, especially in this grass, it's going to be a little hard. If you're fishing areas with a lot of grass, you're not going to be wanting to drag that thing because it's going to get a lot of grass and weeds up on it. So knowing that this place has a lot of grass, I'm going to take a different approach. I'm going to start popping my bait. I'm going to just shake it.  Just like that. Slightly just shaking that thing, hopping it back to me. Can you get bit like that? Just like that little old bass, nothing big. But that was as simple as it gets right there. Pretty little fish. I mean, nothing big, but man, that's a beautiful bass. Right there, as you guys can tell, I was hopping this bait. I have a little bit of grass on it just from when I was fighting that fish. But instead of dragging it, I was hopping in these conditions right here. Not only the conditions, but how the pond set up. There's a lot of grass. It's not just a hard bottom. So I'm not trying to, I'm not letting the shaky head fall down in that grass. I'm really keeping it moving. If I get, if I pop in my rod, what's happening is when that shaky head hits the bottom, it's getting a little bit of grass on it. When I pop my rod, it's going to pop all that stuff off. If I'm dragging it, it's just going to, it's going to get a lot deeper in them. Popping my rod like this, simple. If it was a place a little bit more hard of a bottom and it didn't have all this grass, I wouldn't work it a lot slower. So I throw my bait out there, let it sink. Simply just shaking it into my rod like this. And it's a shaky head. You know? See, I have a lot of grass on me now.   You guys just missed a good little sight fishing moment right there. I got him good. I jerked him right. I just saw him cruising along the bank right there. Just flipped right in, twitched it a few times, just gobbled it. So pretty much as you guys know, we started off with that pond with a lot of grass. And I, like, I usually wouldn't throw a shaky head with the pond with a lot of grass up there, like a Texas rig or, you know, this and this and that. At this pond, it's got a hard bottom. This is where I would throw a shaky head personally. And cause I'm not going to get a lot of that grass on there. It's going to be a lot easier to throw. And we're going to catch a lot of fish on it. I promise you. I'm going to go ahead and throw this thing out here. At this pond, it's going to be a lot easier to hop this thing slowly on the bottom or drag it. Because as you could tell at the other pond, I pretty much had to, you know, pop my rod the whole time because it was getting grass all on the bait. That's not ideal, but I wanted to show you guys that just because when you guys are fishing ponds 90% of the time, they're going to have a lot of grass on them.  So it's going to make it a lot easier when you're in a place with a hard bottom and not a lot of nasty grass. I'm just about to tell you guys what I was doing and he just grabbed it. There we go. Oh, beautiful bass right there. Pretty guy. Nothing big. Man, they fire hard for the size of them. Let's get a little release on this guy. And I'll show you guys exactly what I was doing. Pretty bass. So everyone, this is exactly what I was doing out here. I don't have a lot of that nasty grass to bother me out here on the bottom. Throw my bait out there or when it hits the bottom, simply just shaking into my rod, shaky head. Simply just bouncing that bait right off the bottom. Really not much to it. Just gently just bounce on my rod. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. See if we can get a good cast out here. You can hook another one right here. Weight to your bait hits the bottom. Bouncy rod. Simple as that. Good little finesse approach for these bass out here, especially when they're super finicky like this. Just sum this up everyone. Are you videoing? Sum this up everyone. Very simple.  Very, very simple. I want to sit there and throw it in the grass. I would use a different, you know, like a Senko or something for that.  So it's not getting all down in it. I'm just a standard, you know, Texas Riggs Senko. I throw this on a hard bottom. You can throw this along rocks. You can throw it in some old brush piles. You can throw it around docks.  You can throw an old shaky head and catch a bass. I would not throw this in grass. That's the thing. If I was, I would fish a howl. I was showing you guys in the beginning of the video. That's kind of why I showed that. And it's as simple as just throwing the bait out there and how I like the rig. You just simply pop my rod. That's what I was talking about.  Just like that. And then you get a bite. Then you catch fish right just like that. Just like that, baby. As simple as that. That was kind of crazy. That was a good point right there. You saw me popping my bait and I slowly started to drag it. And then that's when he hit it. So he wasn't eating it when I was popping it. When I started to drag it, he bit it. So that's kind of putting a pattern together. You know, those fish today, they might want you dragging it instead of popping it. You know, they might be a little bit slower, more lethargic. And they want you to drag that bait, but a little beautiful bass. There's one last thing I would like to talk about real quick is pretty much picking the colors of your shaky head. Like I said, just using a little finesse worm. You can get them by Zoom or, you know, Z-Bates makes theirs or Killer as well. All the other companies, they really make it a little shaky head worm. Just a little finesse worm. I know Zoo makes the actual shaky head worms at the point of detail, but I don't tend to get those all the time.  Works just as fine. When picking out colors though, if you're in a dirty water pond that has a lot of muddy water, you know, it's fairly dirty. It doesn't have much visibility.  If I'm fishing a pond that's like more clear water, it's got a little bit of visibility. It's a lot more clear. It's not like chocolate milk. I'm gonna throw like my green pumpkins, my watermelons, watermelon red, watermelon orange, all those natural colors like that.
