The Jaws of Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin presents the Halls of Ivy starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous. If you like good beer, you'll find it pays to be curious and learn about Schlitz for yourself. Welcome again to Ivy, Ivy College that is in the town of Ivy, U.S. State. Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, President of Ivy, has been working in his study all morning. But he leaves it now to join his wife, the former Victoria Cromwell of the English musical comedy stage. As he enters the living room, Mrs. Hall says, Oh, I'm glad you're finished, Tori. Vicki, I am never finished. And why should you be glad? Outside of the fact that naturally you can't stand being without me for a minute. You're not going to feel so good when I remind you that today is the faculty tea at Mrs. Quincannon's. Oh, that doesn't disturb me a bit, my dear. A legitimate function of the president's wife. I think it's quite proper that you should attend all faculty teams. Not me. We. Oh, no, no, no. You don't know. And not only that, but you need a haircut. I'll get one next week, Delilah. Why do you hate to go to the barber? My dear girl, I do not hate to go to the bar. Well, then why? I do, however, dislike to have the administration of this college subjected to the haphazard analysis and preposterous suggestions of a certain tonsorial artist. The barber. Duckfish. A duckfish. Fish, indeed. He seems to be trying to make up for a million years of silence on the part of his submarine namesakes. Well, I suppose any barber who's been in the same shop for 30 years has certain rights. Which he abuses constantly. But to a college barber, there is a new generation every four years. You know, Vicki, there are a lot of people. Garde. Who never leave a campus without having come in. Garde. Huh? You're trying to change the subject. Oh, oh.  And I've made an appointment for you. Is there a slight strain of bulldog in you? With a trace of bloodhound, I'll be following you all the way. Oh. Do I get some lunch before I tackle the fish? Oh, it's duckfish, sir. It's cheese souffle. Oh, it's lunch ready, Penny? Yes, sir. The doctor likes the fish. Oh, thank you. Just the same, Penny. Mrs. Hall has already ordered mine. Oh, duck. How are you? Busy. You're five minutes early. But there's no one in the chair. Your appointment's for two o'clock, doctor. I'll be ready for you at two o'clock. All right, duck. I heard you're talking chapel last week. Oh, yes. And? Didn't sound much like a sermon to me. It wasn't. Ministers are supposed to give sermons, ain't they? I'm not a minister. What was you doing in the pulpit then? Duck, may I ask you a question? Shoot. If your cat had kittens in the oven, would they be biscuits? Step in the chair, doctor. It's two o'clock. Thank you. I think I'll just doze a little. I wanted to talk to you. Oh, no, no, no. Please don't. No, no. Just cut my hair and your conversation. I'd like to take a nap. Got something on my mind. Glad you stopped in. Because it's important to this school what I've got to say. As long as nobody else seems to take enough interest, it's up to me to do something about it. I'm going to do it. Right now. Now, I give up. What is it, duck? You know a kid named Eddie Gray? Yes, yes, I do indeed. What about him? He buys a lot of magic stuff at the campus bookshop. You know about that? Oh, yes, yes. A lot of magic stuff and plenty other things have been disappearing. That's a good trick, too. You mean stolen? Guess that's what you'd call it. About five hundred bucks worth. Why do you connect Eddie Gray with this? Many students buy magic stuff. Duck, our founding fathers provided that any citizen accused of crime was entitled to a jury of his peers, competent legal counsel and a qualified judge. Who then are you to constitute yourself judge, jury and executioner? I got eyes and ears. So is a three-toed sloth. You're talking about the same lofty conception of justice.  You know he sold that big car of his. You know he's running around the campus looking like a spindle step. Looks like he sold all his good clothes. Looks like he maybe needed some dough. Eddie Gray needs money like I, as the saying goes, need a hole in the head.  Nope. I figured it was your job to handle it. I'll handle it. Are you a betting man, Doc? Well, I know where you can get a little bet down. What's the horse? The, um, the horse is a gray duck. And I'll lay you eight to five. He comes in on top. Oh, Vicky. You do look divine and smell. I have to tell you, darling, that I'm a barber friend. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not sniffing. Actually, it hasn't happened. No, no, no. Stop smelling me. I was talking to you. Oh, right. Oh, stop. What did Doc Fish do throughout the whole curriculum? Worse, he's completely revised the laws of evidence. Have you seen Eddie Gray lately? Every day, Toddy, at rehearsals. He's just wonderful. Is he making friends? He's the happiest boy in school. Everybody likes him. And his magic act is going to be the hit of the follies. You remember when you advised him, and I think I did too, to get rid of his flashy car and expensive clothes? Certainly. And he did it right away. Now he dresses just like all the other students. If you can call that dressing. I sometimes think they simply hold a suitcase over their heads and open it. They just wear whatever falls onto them. Well, what about Eddie Gray? There's been some stealing going on at the campus bookshop. He is around there a great deal, and he's suspected.  Yes, I thought so too. I have a feeling someone has found out who his father is. And if so, Eddie is being pronounced guilty by association. Oh, no. Oh, I hope not. It'd be too tragic for him just at this time when everything's beginning to go well. I know, but Mike Mulatt is too important a public enemy to be kept undercover very long. If someone has found out that he is Eddie's father, it's natural to point an accusing finger at the boy. We've got to clear him, Toddy. I know he's all right. Oh, we're going to try, my dear. Look, I'll ask him to come over, will you? Yeah. What do we do about the Quinn cannons? That seems to be a fair question. Yeah. Any answers? Only one. I consider it a legitimate function of the president's wife. I think it's quite proper that you should attend all faculty teams. Yeah, yeah. Well, you said that, and then I said not me, we. That's enough, Victoria. Let's now go on. I don't need another haircut. Mr. Gray, to see Dr. Orr. Oh, show him in, Penny. Don't go, Vicki. This is your case as much as mine. Well, I'm glad. I want to stay. Hello, Dr. Hall. Oh, Graham. Oh, hello, Mrs. Hall. Hello, Eddie. You sent for me, sir? Yes, I did. Sit down. Thank you. I wanted to see how you were getting along. Oh, great. Thanks for some good advice from you and Mrs. Hall. I've been having a swell time. I never knew there were so many nice guys and gals in the world. I'm glad to hear that. Eddie, I'm going to be very direct with you. Yes, sir. Have you heard from your father lately? Oh, sure. He sneaked down here to see me 10 days ago. He did? Yeah. He knew I wanted a set of Joseph Conrad's books, so he came down and bought them for me. I'm not apologizing for what he used to be, Dr. Hall, and neither is he, but to me he's been great. Did he buy you the books at the campus bookshop? Yeah, he did. Oh, it's a terrific set. Well, it has sure ruined my allowance. Has anyone told you of the recent robberies at the campus bookshop? Why, yes, sir. I did hear something. Has anyone told you that you aren't suspected? Me? Suspected or stealing? Oh, now just a minute, Dr. Hall. No, calm down. Calm down, Eddie, please. We're not accusing you. On the contrary, we want to clear you. We'll have to find out everything we can. And you can help us. Tell us everything you know about it. I don't know anything about it. If we're going to try to help, you must do your part. It's beyond just you and us. It's a matter of this college's reputation, and a little thing called justice. Uh, a grave. Yes, sir? Just for the record. Have you stolen anything from the campus bookshop? No, sir. Of course you haven't. Do you know who has? No, sir. You know, but you won't tell. Isn't that it? This can be very serious if you don't, Gray. It involves the honor of the whole college. Look, Doctor, I can't tell you anything. I'm sorry. Really sorry, sir, but I wish you'd remember one thing. I've got to do what seems right to me. Please don't ask me to do something that doesn't fit with my own rules. You know, this is where I learned about honor, Doctor, and values, right in this room, from you, both of you. You gave me a lot to hang on to. Now, don't ask me to let it go. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous. In just a moment, we'll return to the halls of Ivy, starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. The first, let's hear the story of a young go-getter who was set out to make an impression, but wound up by being impressed.  That's what I used to say.  I knew my big opportunity had arrived. The whole evening in which to sell yours truly to the boss. I could just see myself going on a mild Havana and giving the old boy a couple of pointers on how to clear up that situation in the sales department. Yes, I had it all planned. But somehow it didn't quite work out that way. I should have known at the minute I saw the boss's house. He and his wife were as simple and friendly as the people next door, the living room was lush with antiques, oriental rugs, and original oil paintings. I couldn't help staring, but at least I did manage to keep from saying, gee whiz. Still in all, the evening passed very pleasantly. The boss talked about art and music, showed us his collection of rare prints in first editions, and finally served us some Schlitz beer. And naturally, I didn't admit that I'd never tasted a beer as famous as Schlitz. So I took up my glasses, though I were an old Schlitz drinker from a way back. Actually, I could hardly wait to find out if my boss's taste in beer matched the good taste he showed in other things. I took a deep swallow of Schlitz and found out that it did. The same luxury was there. A luxury of flavor that matched the paintings and the prints in the first editions. It was then I realized what had happened. I had come to make an impression, but as it turned out, I was the one who was impressed. No wonder they call Schlitz the beer that made Milwaukee famous. As we return to the halls of Ivy, we find a tenseness not often to be found in the home of the halls. Please sit down, Taughty, you've been pacing like that for an hour. Oh, I can't, Vicki. I've got to make some sense out of all this. Obviously, Gray is protecting someone else. It's a terribly difficult spot for you. You've been teaching him integrity. Oh, yes, yes, I know integrity. A splendid glowing word. Nine letters, the nine old men of character. You know, my darling, it's not enough simply to present the idea of integrity to a youngster as merely planting the seed. The harvest comes when integrity is put to the test and found to be a source of pride and self-respect and growth. Unfortunately, it's usually a habit-forming virtue. Anyway, that's why we can't afford to have Eddie Gray fail to pass his first real test. Taughty dear, the longer I know you, the more conscious I am of the wisdom in simple decency. Well, I only hope my simple wisdom is adequate to get Eddie clear. If this gets into the newspapers, the boy's life is ruined. With his father's record to help pull him down, he's finished. Even if he's innocent? Oh, his innocence will be shouted down by mob judgment. When a man has been accused in headlines on page one, it's difficult to clear his name with a retraction and small print on page 22. I've got to make Eddie talk. You'll never do it, William. Eddie has a code telling tales, even if justified, violates that code. And you'd be wrong to insist. Someone has to talk. Speaking of talk. Yes?  Doc Fish, of course. Oh, Vicki, what would I ever do without you? You'd never have your hair cut. Oh, my dear, worse than that. Without you to advise me, I'd have far too many close shaves. No! Well, may I come with you, or do you think I'll make Doc Fish self-conscious? My dear, if you, Alexander the Great, and Lady Godiva's horse, walked into that shop together, the man would never turn a hair. Now, he has the impeterability of intellectual density. Let's go. Mr. President, didn't Mrs. President like your haircut? It was a fine haircut, Doc. But I think you gave Eddie Gray a crooked part. Huh? No, Doc. I'm really disturbed about your accusation of the grave boy. I've been thinking about it myself. I talk too much, always blabbing. Why did you do it? Can't stand his father. Saw him at the bookshop, put two and two together. And they added up to a number on Eddie's back. How did you know who his father was? A friend of mine in Chicago. Racketeer wrote me. Your bookmaker? No, my book, he's a local man. I'm... I mean, no, ma'am.  No, I'm not going to.  A splendid idea if it's not too late. We've got to find out who is doing the stealing. Can any of your Chicago friends tell you that? Probably could if they was here. I'll help all I can. Sorry I started it. And you don't know anything more than you've told us? No. I just suspected this kid right off. Shouldn't have, I suppose, but I did. When I think something, I speak my mind. Loud, too. Bag your pardon, ma'am. Never mind. I was just speaking my mind. It's contagious, I guess. Doc, you've started something that I, as president of this college, must see through to a conclusion. A campus bookshop can be restocked. But the honor of our student body is something else. You know the kid's innocent, Prexy? You know he's guilty. We have an absolute conviction that Eddie Gray is on the level. Look, Mr. President, I'd like to make you one suggestion. They're very unlike you, if you didn't. Well, what is it, Doc? Give me a little time on this. If I'd given this gray kid a bad deal on account of I got no use for his old man, and he turns out to be innocent, I figure I owe him a little help. You owe him a great deal more than that, my friend.  Leave it to me. Just give me the time I need, and if I don't keep shut from then on, I'll guarantee you can shave me next time. And if he doesn't, I will.  And it all started out to be so serene. Well, this is small silver lining. You'll miss the faculty tea. True, my darling. I wonder what that old rascal Duckfish has up his sleeve. At least he's going to stop gossiping about Eddie. I hope so. You know, Vicky, it's so easy to be swayed by preconceived ideas and prejudices. It's very often most difficult to hold a steady course when your whole being cries out to take another path. What are you thinking about now? Well, just for that tiny moment I digressed. My darling, I was thinking of myself and you. I wonder if you remember that day in London when I ran up the stairs to your flat, whistling a tune, gay as the air itself. When I knocked, did you open the door? William, what a nice surprise. Vicky, my darling, I was so close I couldn't pass by without... Oh, I beg your pardon, I shouldn't have come in. I didn't know that... No, William, this is Paul Hunter, Paul Dr. Hall. How do you know? How do you do? I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. Well, you haven't. We were just having tea. Do you want some? No, I really don't think so. Thank you. I'd better run along. Oh, no, don't go. Are you a medical man, Dr. Hall? No, I'm afraid not, Mr. Hunter. I'm a schoolteacher. Oh, a schoolteacher. He's a professor, Paul, a very learned professor in a very beautiful American university. Oh, now, Victoria. On your sabbatical? Yes. And not too much of it left. Well, that's pretty tragic. Vicky and I were just talking over plans to send those to the winter on the Riviera. Doesn't sound wonderful, William, the blue Mediterranean. The white sands, the striped umbrellas and warm sunshine. Yes, it does. Sounds beautiful. We thought we might stay between Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo for the entire season. You're with any luck. I don't see why not. No, of course. Why not? With any luck? Well, darling, if it's all OK with you, I'll start making arrangements. There's quite a lot of arranging to do, you know. Oh, I do know, Paul. Yes, by all means. Let's do it. Certainly. It would be awful if you didn't. Well, I'm off then. It's nice to have met you, Doctor. Well, thank you, Mr. Winter. I hope you have a nice hunter. I mean, Winter. See you tomorrow. So pet that boy. Boy? Oh, yes, yes, he is. A real pet. Doesn't it all sound heavenly? Heavenly. William, what is it, dear? You're so down. I wish I were an actor, my darling. I wouldn't let you so easily see my feelings. My feelings about what, dear? What is it? Oh, the Riviera. Under winter skies with me in America. And you with that hunter fellow on the white sands. Oh, I thought... Well, you said that... Oh, you couldn't have... Yes, I know, but you did. Yeah, well, I didn't mean that... You thought I was going away with Paul? Well, of course. Well, aren't you? Well, yes. Well, that's what I thought. What did you think I thought? I thought you thought. I mean, I think... I thought you must have thought that... I think that what you thought I thought was... Well, I just hate to think about it. William, listen. Paul is the company manager of Give Them Tears. Oh. And we're taking the whole company on tour. Oh. And Paul, by the way, is very happily married.  No, no, no, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. It took considerable intelligence to find and fall in love with a girl like you. Oh, darling, I am a happy man. Too happy.  So go ahead and worry a bit. Worry a bit. I shall worry. Winter, spring, summer and fall. But all the Easter's and Christmas's and New Year's is... We shall help each other. Ring the old ones out and ring the new ones in. I can hear the bells now, Vicki. Happy New Year to Victoria and William. Happy, happy. Howdy, dear. It's not New Year's Day. It's the 24th of February. And the telephone's ringing. The telephone? Well, it's probably that hunter fellow to ask it. Oh. Oh, yes, the telephone. Here, Jungi. That's what I mean. And you don't have to run it down, dear. It's right here for once. Thank you. Doctor Hall's residence. Who? Oh, yes, Doc. Well, that's extremely interesting. Yes, do, by all means, come any time. Thank you for calling. Doc's coming over right away. Doc Fish, the barber? Yes. I mean, there's so many doctors of one kind or another around a college one has to get used to it. By degrees, as you might say. Now, why is Doc Fish called Doc? He holds the degree of doctor of inanity.  Not having looked up inanity in the dictionary is quite proud of it. By the way, Toddy, were you daydreaming again when the phone rang? Or are you just worrying? No, I plead guilty to the first accusation. I was daydreaming.  Oh, down a wrong road for a bit, and then I found you and came back on the right one. Fine trip. I wish I could go with you on some of these meandrings. You always have such a happy expression on your face. Of course. That's what a daydream is for, for comparison with life itself. And usually life looks a little sorry by contrast. But not mine.  Big time, sir. A doctor's fish is calling. Oh. Doc Fish. Oh, yes, ask him in, Penny, please. Yes, sir. Right this way, please, doctor. And on your way out, sir, I'd like to consult you about a slight cold in the end. Won't be necessary, sister. Take a couple of aspirins and hit the hay. Hello, Mr. President. Ah, Doc. Mrs. Fred. Hello, Doc. Have a chair. You'll have news first? Yeah. Case is closed. Eddie Gray is in the clear, and the real crook is known. And I feel like a louse. Excuse the expression, Mrs. Hall. That's quite all right, Doc. You were a louse. Yeah, I know. How did you get Eddie Gray off the hook? Yes. Same way I got him on, I talked. In this case, I talked to a friend of mine, sort of a tough guy. Tough and nosy. Kind of a guy that knows how to find things out. He just snooped around until he found a kid that had too much bookshop stock for his kind of dough. And he brought him over for a haircut and a shave. Free. A free shave and haircut? Yeah. We put him in the chair, locked the door, and I started to hone my razor while this friend of mine asked questions. You'd be surprised how chatty a guy can get with a mug like my friend has hanging over him and a razor waving in the background. Who was it, Doc? Mrs. Prez, I've already talked too much, I ain't saying. But any time you happen to go into the campus bookshop for the next three years, you will see him. He'll be working off his charge account.  My husband is a fair judge of character. Yeah, looks like it. What do you think of my character, Dr. Hall?  I am? You have the moronic tendency to leap at erroneous conclusions. Yeah. And a strong urge toward character assassination. Yeah. And a lamentable weakness for turning on a conversation and leaving it running. Golly, that's wonderful, Prez. That's me to a T. How do you do it? Oh, I studied under a great teacher, a doctor of inanity. See, I got one of them degrees myself. Just honorary, of course. Yes, we know, Doc. Good night. Good night. I was curious. I tasted it. Now I know why Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous. And here again, our Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. Good night, everyone. Good night. This week at this time at the Halls of Ivy, starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman, the other players were Earl Ross, Gloria Gordon, Ben Wright, and Bill Stratton Jr. Tonight's script was written by Nat Wolfe and Don Quinn. Our music was composed and conducted by Henry Russell. The Halls of Ivy was treated by Don Quinn, directed by Nat Wolfe and presented by the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ken Carpenter speaking. Now here we the people over most of these NBC stations. The Halls of Ivy.


My name is Nenaya Jantua. I am a director for public relations and external affairs at the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission, the PURC in Ghana. The PURC is a regulatory body set up by an act of parliament at 538 to regulate water electricity and natural gas transportation. It is an independent regulator, which is mandated by law to ensure that there is good provision of water, electricity and natural gas transportation for generation of electricity. But our concentration now is on water. The water sector in Ghana has two regulators. In the urban sector is the PURC and in the rural sector is the community water and sanitation agency. Even with the community water and sanitation agency, their role is more of facilitation than to regulate like we are doing. They provide facilitation for water into the communities, in the rural communities, where the communities and the municipalities take over the management of the water. The PURC's role is just urban water. But the challenge that we face in the water sector is that you find that because of migration and evolution, you find some of these rural communities migrating into urbanization, development, into the urban communities. So there are certain areas that used to be very rural have become urban, by development, by migration. And then the challenges, who provides for them? On the map, they are rural, but in actual sense, they become urban. So who provides for them? Now there's the challenge. So what we are now doing is that to bring collaboration and uniformity, we've all come together as sectors that our work depend on each other to do an MOU for stats, to collaborate, to talk, to share information, to share roles and duties, so that at the end of the day, the consumer would not be shortchanged. So after the MOU then, you look forward to maybe some form of legislative instrument that will be more binding for us to do what we have to do to ensure that some of these bossful next are dealt with.


And also in the news, gunmen have bombed the Diato South Local Government Area Police headquarters in Dikinofia, Emo State. They freed detainees. The hoodlums who came in large numbers set part of the police station ablaze with explosive devices. The explosives destroyed the administrative office, the division of police officers office and the reception desk. Chairman of Diato South Local Government Area Interim Management Committee, Pastor Bede Ikeaka, expressed shock at the incident. The Emo Police Command Spokesman Michael Abbottam, a chief superintendent of police, said it was yet to be briefed. He promised to get back to PLOS TV's correspondent. Joining us live is Jones, FCC, Ongwa Sonia, a member of Emo State Elders Council. Thanks for joining us. Thank you very much. Can you quickly bring us up to speed and tell us about the mood in Dikinofia at this moment? Okay. The news came yesterday that some gunmen, the division in Dikinofia, were arrested. So that is my three gunmen. To the credit of the police, every gunman over their money, even though that wasn't as big as a previous man. Okay. Is there any clarity as to who these people are? Are they random unknown gunmen, as they are popularly called? Are they with the ESN or any group affiliated with the IPOB? Unfortunately, we have a lot of criminals under the shield of Biafran agitation, which costs me in the South East. So at this point, we do not know who is doing that or who is responsible for what happened in the south of the division. Unlike in countries where terrorists or agitators come out to turn up to their actionals. In Nigeria, and especially in the South East, we have different groups operating under different umbrellas. Costing mayhem, making lives uncomfortable for the utmost. And yet, not taking responsibility. So we will wait for the police to carry out an investigation and tell us who are responsible. But what is obvious is that no matter who they are, no matter what they say, inspire them to do what they are doing. It is obvious that the government and the security agencies are waiting to war against such individuals because they have somehow been restricted to such isolated attacks in local places, in places that are not usually accessible, so to say. Because if you remember how they came out, they came out audaciously a few months ago, trying to take over the entire South East. But somehow due to the gallantry of the security agencies, due to the determination of the government, of the South East governors, they have been pushed back seriously. That is why they are now restricted to such attacks at their police divisions where we do not have enough police men manning them. So we hope that these criminals, these terrorists, these bandits, no matter who they say they are, will eventually be defeated completely so that peace with the South East is known for will be completely restored. Let's also talk about the mood in the state. It's not the first time that your loose zone has witnessed attacks like that. What is the mood among members of the community? Is there any consideration on community policing? Any talk about the Ibubeago and the likes also being brought up? Well, I know that the governor of the state has set up the Ibubeago outfit whose representatives are doing a lot in helping the police or the conventional security agencies combat crime and terrorism in the state. We must understand that the major intent of a terrorist sitting there in the world is to instill fear in the people. That is why we came about the word terror. They want to terrify people. They attack the decision or their idea of attacking police formations is to make the people think if they could successfully attack these formations then the people are not free. So they want to rule by fear. They want to make the people a threat. They want the people to lose confidence in government, in constituted authority. But fortunately, I think the people are resisting that ideology. The people are beginning to see that these people do not mean well for them and they are getting ready to fight them. The ordinary masses will soon rise up against these criminals who are destroying the economy of our zone, who are destroying the economy of our state, who are trying to turn us to Afghanistan. The people are getting very angry with these people and their sponsors. And hopefully the people will support the government in what they are doing to combat these criminals to bring this whole thing to an end. This is known to be a very peaceful place. This is the first time we cannot go to war this second time. We've had our war. We fought the war when we did and this time around any group of people who are trying to push us into another war is a very unfortunate group. And we must continue to advise them to subjume their interests or whatever they feel they are grieved about through the right channels. We have a government in place. We have the Yohanesan people in place. We have constituted authorities and it is only barbarians who will decide to go against these channels and begin to take laws into their own hands.  The people are getting very angry with what they are doing and if they continue, they will have the people to contend with. Already they will go out which is made up of people from these localities, youths who know these localities very well are doing a lot. They are very intelligent and assuring that that is why we had a very peaceful Christmas spirit. I think they carried out this attack in frustration because they were frustrated with stopping the peace of the state during the Christmas and now that it seems that people are going back they want to announce that they are still around and I know that they will be dealt with the right way if they do not change their styles if they do not heed the good council. Absolutely. Thank you very much for joining us and for being able to share some of these details with us.  Thank you very much. Alright.

That's what life's all about. It's not about sitting in a corner and being by yourself. I mean, it's meant to enjoy life with other people. And that's why I love you guys, man. I mean, it's so cool to be around you. It's so cool to talk to you. It's really pretty amazing. All right, so I'm going to go ahead and get some of my notes pulled up if you don't mind. But like I said, even if I'm talking about stuff and social media and you've got another question, I don't know about emails or whatever it is, feel free to ask me. And I apologize. I'm using my hand up here, but to help my screen get bigger. I do have the mouse right here. What I want to do real quick is go through what the major social media platforms are. You probably know these. I get that. But it's good just to go over them. But more importantly, it's good to go over them and kind of see who's using them and how you should use them. So that's what I'm going to do first. The first one up is Facebook and feel free to make any notes on this stuff. Put it off to the side or whatever. Facebook, primarily the people that you're going to find on Facebook are 25 to 34 years old and baby boomers. So there's kind of like a jump between those two demographics. You're not going to find people below 25. It's just not where they go anymore. The kind of content you're going to see on Facebook is really going to be like photos and links and information. You'll see some live videos, but man, they don't work too well on Facebook. I will tell you that. So your strategies on Facebook are going to be local marketing, advertising and relationships. And it's really kind of a weak organic reach. Facebook doesn't really show your organic stuff. When I say organic, when you're not paying to put stuff up there, when you're just like posting stuff, they're not going to show it to too many people. So that's not your way to go. Next one up is going to be YouTube and we're on YouTube right now. Heck, we're on Facebook and YouTube right now. We're on both of those platforms. And that's going to be in YouTube. What we found is 18 to 25 year olds and 26 to 35 year olds. And I'll tell you, that is my demographic. The majority of the people that watch my channel are 18 to 35. And I know I'm older than that. And I know there's people in here that are older than that right now. But I'm just telling you, that's what my demographics are. As far as content on YouTube, how to videos work really well, webinars, explainers, those type of things work well. So the strategy you want to use on YouTube is different than that of Facebook. On YouTube, you're going to be using organic, you're going to be using SEO, and of course advertising. All these platforms are going to have some form of advertising. And of course, video is really resource heavy, but video is where it's at on YouTube. That's it. If you want to do a video, you should be on YouTube. The next one up is going to be Instagram. And the demographics are 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 in there. And it's mostly millennials. And you want to have, as far as Instagram goes, you're going to want to have like inspirational type stuff, adventures, questions, polls, that type of thing. That's what Instagram is really good at. As far as what you should do, you'd want to do like e-commerce, you'd want to do organic, you'd want to do influencer stuff. But I will tell you, Instagram has a pretty high cost. So, you know, if you're looking to keep your costs down, that wouldn't be where you want to go. But they do get good results. Next one up is Twitter. And I don't use Twitter as much as I should. But it's there. And their demographics are basically 25 to 34 and 35 to 49. So it's a little bit older. They're more educated. They're more wealthy. I know Elon's on there every day. He makes a little bit of money. And they're primarily going to be news, discussion, humor, that type of thing on Twitter. A lot of humor on Twitter. The other day, Elon challenged Vladimir Putin to a one-on-one fight, which I thought was pretty funny. But he went to fight over the Ukraine, which I thought was hilarious. Now, that's mostly going to be like customer service. It's going to be used for that. Ads for males. That's what works well there. And it also is small ad audience on there. So that's a little bit hurtful. Next one up there is LinkedIn. I'm not a big user of LinkedIn. However, I want to cover all these things just because I don't use them. Does it mean you don't want to use them? And it's mostly 46 to 55-year-olds. They're professionals. Long-form comment seems to work there the best. And core values are the things that people look for. It's mostly business-to-business, organic, international. Those are the type of things that you're going to see on that platform. So now that we've looked at what these platforms are, let's kind of talk about what it is and what you're going to use it for. And social media marketing really is a form of digital marketing that leverages the power of popular social media networks. This helps you achieve marketing and branding goals. But it's not just creating business accounts and posting when you feel like it. Social media is a lot of work, guys. It requires involving a strategy with measurable goals that include things like maintaining and optimizing your profiles. You've got to keep all that up to date, posting pictures, videos, stories, live videos that represent your brand in a track-relevant audience. Now it's funny when I talk about this and I talk about all the work you've got to do. People don't want to hear that you've got to do a lot of work. They just don't want to hear that. And guys, don't forget to use that chat section just because I'm talking. Go ahead and use that chat section. I can jump from my content to talk to you guys and I do want to talk to you guys. So make sure you're using that. There's enough people in here where we can get some good conversations going. What's Paul got to say there? Paul says, what's going on, Paul? Good to see you this morning, buddy. Over there in Arkansas. Facebook would be good, but the lack of customer support is horrible. It is horrendous. It is, Paul, you nailed it. It is horrendous. You can't talk to anybody about anything. And the fact-checkers are horrible, too. Yes, they are. So you must have had some experience, Paul. Why didn't you put what happened to you over there? It's kind of interesting. I've lost accounts to Aurora there, so I don't mess much with Facebook anymore. Even though I have courses on how to do Facebook ads and they're great courses, I personally don't do it as much anymore. I'm leaning more towards YouTube. Paul says, I'm seeing more people developing platforms like Rumble. Yes, my wife is on Rumble and she's trying to push me over there. I don't know, maybe I'll go. I really do like YouTube. I haven't had any problems. I know some people have a lot of their stuff demonetized and have problems. Or Trump's new platform. Yeah, I saw Trump's new platform and I went to sign up for it. It put me on a waiting list, so I'm still on a waiting list, so I'm not actually in it. Let's say it's good or bad or indifferent or anything right now, because I just, I haven't seen it. I don't know what it is. So also, you're going to use these things for comments, shares, likes, monitoring your reputation, that type of thing. You can also follow and engage with your followers, customers, influencers. And you can kind of build a community. That's what we've done on this channel here. We're in the 6,000, almost 7,000 subscribers on this channel and it's growing. It's not growing as fast as I want, but it's growing and I'm happy with you guys and I'm happy with the direction it's heading. And also social media marketing includes a lot of paid advertising, where you can pay to have your business in pure in front of large volumes of people. And primarily on Facebook, that's the only way you're going to appear in front of people, because they don't really do any type of showing of your content, because everything in that news stream is where they make their money. And if they're showing generic content or organic content, they don't make any money. That's different from YouTube, because that is their content is your video. So they do want to show it to people. And when they show it to people and they engage, they can run ads and they can make money. And it's all about making money. Don't believe it's not about making money, because it is about making money. Let's see here. Let's see. What do you get to say, Paul? I'm currently in Facebook jail. Are you? I'm not allowed on lives and can't post on my pages. And do you know why, Paul? I mean, put in there if you know why, because, you know, I hear stuff like this from a lot of people, and they don't have a clue why this stuff happened to them. So, you know, maybe you can let me know. Let's see here. Mark Cuban behind a new channel called Fireside. Really, I don't know about Fireside. That's kind of interesting. You hear about it. And you know what? As people get frustrated with these social platforms, they move on to something else. Somebody else comes up with something. Not all these platforms are all knowing and doing. All right. So what are some of the benefits of social marketing or social media marketing? Social media marketing really is the most effective free channels to market your business today. And there's reasons for it. It will humanize your business. Social media enables you to turn your business into an active participant in the market. You can actually go out there and talk to people. Your posts, your profile, all these interactions, the forms that you have make you an approachable persona. So it does humanize your business. And it also does help you drive traffic. So if you want traffic, you know, between all the links and stuff you could post, blog posts, all that kind of stuff, your ads. Social media is really a top channel for increasing traffic to your website where you can actually then convert people and sell them whatever product you have or whatever service you have. It's also a great place to generate leads and customers. You can generate these leads and conversations, you know, through like, say, Instagram or Facebook shops, a direct messaging. You can have call to action buttons on your profile and appointment booking. It also helps you increase your brand awareness. I know it's helped us a lot there. The visual nature of social media platforms allows you to build your visual identity across vast audiences, okay? You can improve your brand awareness. And your brand awareness means that other people are going to notice you when you do campaigns. If you're running ads or something, if they've already seen you in social media doing free stuff, then of course they're going to be more likely to buy from you. And I think the biggest thing, and that's what we do on the channel, is to build relationships. They open up more of a direct and indirect line of communication with you and your followers where you can network, you can, you know, gather feedback. You can connect directly with individuals. You can hold discussions. All these things are super, super important. And I think it's important that I go through these and kind of explain what they are first because if I don't explain what they are, you're not going to know how to use it. Let's see here. What has Paul got to say? I like how a couple of people are using VA virtual assistants to push out content. One guy out of Canada has assistant do the work including transcript for a blog, have no idea what caused problems. Yeah, I know. And that's the thing. If you contact Facebook, they don't, they don't even tell you. And I know I had one in there and I kept appealing it and appealing it. And they said, you've appealed it enough times. We won't look at this anymore. It's like we never talked to me. You've never said anything to me. So that's very frustrating. I know I sold off a lot of my Facebook stock with all that happens. Okay. Maybe, and I think it was a smart thing to do because I've seen Facebook stock really dive. All right. So let's talk about social media statistics. Okay. Is it really useful? The average US spends about 2.25 hours on social media every single day. That's a lot. Now I spend more time on it, but I spend more time on it creating than I do reading. Okay. So right now I'm going to spend like 30 minutes with you guys talking about this stuff. And that's, that's a half hour of my 2.25 hours. Over 70% of the people who have a positive experience with the business on social media will recommend that business to their networks. So guys, it's really important that you don't get into fights with your customers. Okay. That's not what it's there for. Facebook users click on 12 Facebook ads on average every single month. So the ads do work. 81% of the people use Instagram to research products and services. That's pretty interesting. And nearly 80% of Twitter users feel more positive about a business when they get a response to their tweet. And I've used it that way too. I've contacted businesses, four out of five people on LinkedIn drive business decisions and 46% of TikTok users engage in the app without any other distractions. So it is getting used. Okay. And it's getting used a lot. So what are the essentials? What are the things that you need to do? Well, first off, you got to have knowledge of your audience. You got to figure out what platforms they're actually on. But when they go on them, why do they go on them? What content do they like? Who else is following? Who else are they following? You know, so you can kind of see what they're doing. You also got to set up your brand identity. What is your message that you want to convey to your audience?  What do you want them to do? What's your content strategy? You know, there's a level of spontaneity on social. I get that. But you really do need a structured content strategy to be able to have a consistent voice and produce quality content regularly. Super important that you do that. Okay, I see a couple other comments here. Let me jump in here and grab those guys. Yeah, there we go. Paul says, the one person I know has spent over $2 million and never got told why he was banned. Buddy, I know this is craziness, right? He finally made a new page and started over. Fortunately, he had a small list to get people off Facebook. Yeah, I hear this time and time again. As a matter of fact, I was listening to the best ever food review show. I don't know if you ever watched that. Paul was sunny and he has just spent the past two weeks in the Bahamas and Jamaica and he's made a bunch of videos. I mean, really cool where he goes out with the people in the woods and they trap an animal and they cook it and they do all this. And he says every single video that he did on this platform right here on YouTube got demonetized because what was happening was they were saying it was shocking content and it was just trying to get people to click. And it wasn't shocking content. It was just different than the average American does. And I'll give you an example. If he were to take a raw chicken and cut it up on a cutting board in the kitchen, that's fine because that's what the average American does. But he was going out in the woods and they would actually kill the wild boar and cook it over a fire. And since that is not an American norm, they said that was shocking content. And when it was shocking content, they had to demonetize it. And it's interesting how that demonetization works because that doesn't mean they won't still run ads and collect money. They just mean that you won't get part of it. So what he was trying to do is he was trying to cut out areas that he thought was offensive. But the problem was it kind of destroyed the video because that's what the video was about. So it is kind of interesting. A lot of these platforms, the norms, the social norms are based on what Americans do on a daily basis. But there's no way to educate Americans about the rest of the world if that's the only thing you do. Also, you want to look at analytics guys. Quantifiable insights will inform your strategy, including who you're reaching, the right content to share, the best times to share. You've got to look at the stuff. You can't just post it and not look at it. You've got to have regular activity. Social media is a real-time platform. If you want to use it to grow your business, you need to post regularly. I post three videos a week that are recorded, and I do anywhere from two to four lives a week so that I can stay in touch with you guys. And I have to do that because if you don't ever hear me and you don't ever see me and you don't know my opinions of things, you're not as likely to engage with this platform. Hey guys, keep those comments coming.  And let me do my little speech about this. Let me explain something to you. I learned this years ago and I want to share it with you. This is vastly important to you growing your business.  You've got to become part of the conversation. And what I mean by that is on a live like this, you need to say hello. You need to say, hey JR, this is what I'm doing. You need to say, hey JR, I have a question about this. You need to participate. Look at what Paul's doing now. Paul always participates a lot. And I know a lot of you do. I'm not picking on anybody, but I'm just saying do it more. That chat section should be filled with comments and it doesn't have to be anything profound. You don't have to worry about what anybody thinks of you. You've got to get over that hump.  This is it. This is it guys. And I know some of you believe we're going to get reincarnated and have 20 lives. I don't believe this. I think this is it. Since this is it, I want you to know that you've got to participate. You've got to type something in there. You've got to say something.  Put that in there. And there should be a lot of homage from Bangladesh because I have a big audience there. So when you're creating the social media marketing plan, guys, the first thing you want to do is choose your platforms. Decide where your customers are and actually do those particular things. Okay. Decide on those platforms. All right. Somebody sent me a side message here. Let me look and see what this is. Give me one second. All right. Let me go here. JR and Billy. No, I want to go to this one here. Excuse me. One second. Okay. Good morning. Okay. That's something else. My assistant, I apologize, guys, is sending me a message because he's trying to get a loan for his house in the Philippines. And in the middle of this, he's like, hey, can you help me out with this loan? So anyhow, that's what's going on up to the side, which is kind of funny. Let's see here. Paul's going to comment. I appreciate Paul. Thank you so much for your comments. They mean a lot. Okay. And we've got another person in here too. It says first time here. Z a electrical limited. Welcome. Z a electrical limited. Good to have you here. And if you have a YouTube channel, I mean, I know you have a YouTube name here. Z a electrical limited. Let us know.  I don't mind doing that at all. You know, a lot of people say, well, I don't want people to come into my channel and then go subscribe to somebody else's. Why not? You're not them. It doesn't matter. It's the same thing. There's a big deal. There's plenty of people to go around. There's what seven billion people in the world. It's the share guy. Sure. Paul says, I wonder what the next thing will be to replace YouTube. I see podcasting as a medium is getting huge and a lot of development on new channels and podcast platforms. I agree with you. And my wife has a podcast, Paul, which you I'm sure you know about. And that's the pet parenting reset. You can find that on all the podcast platforms. And she interviews people from veterinarians to dog food manufacturers because she's into training people and pets and pet parenting reset is showing you how to relate to your pet and learn your pet and take care of your pet in a good way, all positive stuff. Paul says also, by the way, Will Ferrell is keynote at podcast movement evolutions next week with YouTube is also going to be in attendance there. That's really cool. Will Ferrell, huh? Love that guy. Funny guy. Love him. That's very interesting. Oh, good. I'm starting to get comments now.   Thank you. Great interaction and energy. Thank you so much. Z. Electrical limited. And you know what? Z. Electrical post and hear what you do. People would love to hear about what you do and what you're doing. And I'm telling you, my audience will latch on to you. They'll love you if you're doing something. Paul's already, see what I say? Paul's already saying Z. Electrical, welcome to the information party. And yeah, okay. Paul has named this the information party. Maybe I'll run with that. But once you've chosen your platform guide, you're going to want to set your goals and objectives. What do you want to do? Do you want to get signups? Do you want to get people to buy your products? Do you want to get them to watch your webinars? Do you want to build your email list? What are you looking to do? Okay. It's hard to judge if something's successful, if you haven't set out in the beginning, what you want to do. And you got to report and adjust regularly. You want to use each platform's analytics to identify which posts generate the most engagement. I'll tell you, I go into YouTube analytics usually twice a day just to see what's going on. And sometimes I'll go in there twice and it has a change shift because at a certain time of day it changes, which I haven't figured that out. Let me get another sip. So it's a really good way to go about it. All right. So if you're ready to get started with those social media marketing, there's a few social media marketing tips to kick it off. Create diverse content. You don't know what's going to work yet. So you want to do how-to's, quick tips, local and industry news, data insights, polls, questions, contests, updates, announcements. Do all these things so you can figure out what works. You're not going to know in the beginning. But it's different for every business, every industry, every niche. So you got to try a whole bunch of different things. You want to stay consistent. Okay. Don't quit. I have consistently been posting on this channel for about two and a half, three years now. I've had the channel since 15, 16, but I wasn't consistent in the beginning. So I didn't do well in the beginning. Now I've done a whole lot better. Now I make more money. And don't just post, participate. Talk to people like what I'm doing now. Acknowledge it when somebody puts a comment in there. If somebody's commenting, guys, they're trying to have a conversation with you. If you don't respond, they're going to lose your channel. They're going to go someplace else where somebody does respect that they're trying to converse with you. Okay. Super important that you do that. And guys, I really do appreciate your comments. We've been getting a lot today, but put more in there. I want you to bombard me with comments to where I can't even get to my subject matter, to where I have to talk to you guys. And I don't mind doing that. Don't also put it in just one place. You want to repurpose, repost, recycle. Create a Facebook post from a customer review. Place it up in a blog post. Repost to be done in moderation, of course. You don't want to repost all the time, but you can also recycle it.  People will love that. Curate your own feed. You know, people are always looking for ways to show up in other people's feed, but we forget that there's value to be derived from our own. Follow your competitors so you can keep tabs on it. I do this a lot. Get ideas. You can adapt for your own strategy from your competitors. Check them out too. Measure your success with analytics. And don't forget, you can advertise, guys. These are good ways to advertise. You've got Facebook ads. You've got Pinterest ads. You've got Instagram ads. You've got YouTube ads. All these ads can really help you invest in your business. And I think, you know, the best social media platforms, really, for marketing a business are going to be Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn. I think those are all the best ones. Those are the ones that work better than anything else. And, guys, any comments you have, please put those in here now. Let's see here. I do have some comments. Hang on one second. Let me jump over here. Let's see. ZA Electrical.  You're going to do well, I can tell. Electrician and SEO are trying to build a website to compartmentally sell SEO backlinks, traffic, and content. Very cool. That's very cool. That's very interesting, too.  I'm in Texas. And I swear to you, every street corner has something either being built on it or that street corner is for sale. It's amazing here how much construction is going on. Any tips on software to push out materials to different platforms. Also wins the next food video. Hoot Suite is what I use, Paul. We use Hoot Suite every day. I'm grandfathered in because I've had it for about four or five years, so it's super cheap for me. I have about five food videos that are all sitting in the editing stage right now. So those will be coming out. Gosh, I would think within the next week you're going to see another one and then you're going to see a bunch of them coming out. I'm doing a crab cake one that's going to be coming out, too, which is a Maryland-style crab cake. I've made them for years. My wife loves them. And guys, if you don't know, I have another channel called Restaurant Quality Recipes. It's on YouTube, so you can look up restaurant quality recipes, JR Fisher. You've got to put my name in there, too, because other people have used that name. But I also have that channel, too. Any other comments, questions, suggestions, guys? Put it in that chat box. I know the majority of the questions are coming from about 20% of the people. But you know what, guys? You've got to participate. I told you this in the beginning. It's so important. Even if you just say hello, that matters. Paul says, what thoughts on optimal amount of posts per week? I can see doing taped videos as great in develop cash to dole out. Do you feel that 30 minutes is optimal length? I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know. Here's what I know. The more you post content, the better off you're going to be and the more you're going to grow. I would say to even keep up with, you know, your competition. You're going to have to post two or three times a week, something. You're going to have to. I know going to be publishing Sean. Gosh, I can't think of Sean's last name now. But he has a channel about exercise and, you know, motivational and all that. And he will post five, six times a day. Five or six times a day, he'll do a video. And that's pretty amazing. That's a lot of posting, but he's really grown his channel. He has a lot of subscribers. The channel has grown and grown and grown. So the answer to this is as much as you possibly can. And I think a lot of times we try to, let's say you said to think about 30 minutes, we think, well, okay, I'm going to do 30 minute videos. And oh my gosh, I only have time to do two of those a week. Well, in the meantime, supplement it with a 20 second message to people. Supplement it with a, you know, two minute motivational video. Supplement it with a behind the scenes look of 15 seconds of what's going on in your office today. So supplement, supplement, supplement with some of these small things. You don't have to always do a 30 minute video. Though those work. And I've seen a lot of my competitors doing an hour, two hour long, you know, videos. And I asked you guys about that. I didn't get a lot of response on it. But do you want to see a longer video format like that where you can talk to me for an hour or two in the evening or on the weekend? I don't mind spending the time with you guys and doing that. So if that's something that interests you, send me a message. Post in the comment section. If this video isn't live, post it in the comment section. Post it in the chat section there. Let me know. Do you want to see a longer form comment? Or excuse me, a content on here. And you guys, don't forget to post some more. I'm telling you too. I don't see any more posts and we'll see more posts. Paul's doing all the work. He's doing all the heavy lifting. So on email, what are you currently using? I use Cartra. 100% Paul. That's all I talk about is Cartra. There is a link for Cartra below in the description. Once this video is up and it's not live, it's not going to be there while it's live. But after it's not live, you will see a link to Cartra. And you can watch a video and see what Cartra does. It's amazing. Cartra has made me millions of dollars. I was one of the first adopters. I got the beta version of Cartra when Frank Kern was still involved. And I'm thinking 2016, maybe, 17. I'm trying to remember when it first came out. And I've had it ever since. And keep in mind, I've tried all the other ones. I've tried constant contact. I tried Aweber. I tried Infusionsoft, which turned into, was it? Keep. I've tried them all. I'm allowed to say all. There's too many out there for me to try them all.  I've tried a lot of them. And Cartra is by far one of the best. And you get the most for your money. That's the part I like. So all in all, guys, to wrap this up, social media is that you know what it is. You've got to use it, though. I schedule these early morning things. And to people on the outside, they go, oh, wow, that's so easy, JR. You just sit there and talk for 30 minutes a couple of times a week. I mean, you don't hardly do any work at all. Now, before this comes up, I have to make a thumbnail. That thumbnail has to be posted. And then I have to schedule it. I have to schedule it on Facebook. I have to schedule it on YouTube. And then I got to put together an email. And then I have to send that email out to people. And then I've got to actually prepare all the content. I don't just sit here and talk, guys. I have a guide on the screen here. I have notes on the screen here. And I go through and make notes about stuff that I know is going to help you guys. So doing a little video like this, this 30 minute Q&A thing, it's some work. I mean, it's stuff we got to do. But you know what? What else are you going to do? Hang out and watch Netflix the entire day? No, I'm not. Thoughts on multi-camera shoot. I kind of like how Henry Kaminski does his shoots and his home set up. I've done multi-camera shoots. They're very difficult. They take a lot more time to edit. I don't know if you get the bang for the buck out of it. You may. You may. I don't know. I watch Quantron a lot. Paul, let me know if you watch Quantron. He has a cooking one. And his is sloppy. And he uses one camera. And the angles aren't good. But he's so entertaining, you're going to want to watch him. So I think that's more important than having all these camera angles pop up. Love this training today, gang. Win his next live. It'll either be Friday or Saturday or both. I'm still trying to get information from you guys which day do you want. Do you want Friday?

It's probably going to be in Austin. Yeah, I think it's probably going to be in Austin. I'm trying to decide how and what. And I don't want it to just be a get together. I want it to be something where we exchange a lot of ideas and you guys can leave with something that is going to make you money. So I'm thinking more about, you know, you coming and getting a completed process of something you can do. So I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, Paul, and what you need. South African living in the UK. I know a lot of people from South Africa. A lot of people living in the UK. We have a lot of people from the UK on this channel too. Very cool. Good to get to know you. Let's see. Okay. Tampa would be cool too. Would allow for a mastermind get together and you could hook up with your daughter. See, Paul knows where my daughter is. How cool is that? How cool is it that he knows my family, right? And where's my son, Paul? Let's see how good you are at this. Where is my son? Where does he live? Okay, guys, I'm getting ready to wrap this up. I'm waiting for Paul's reply on where does my son live? That's the question of the day.  Put it in the chat section. Put it in the comment section. And if you know his name, that's a bonus point. You'll get two stars. I will give you two stars for that. One for knowing where he lives and two for knowing his name. Okay, so put that in there. Ah, you're so close. You're so close. All right, let me see here. Let me pop this in here. Paul says Cincinnati or Cleveland. Okay, I'll give you a hint. He works at a place and it starts with the first name of the city. He works at a place and it starts with the first name of the city. What place does he work at? And I'll give you another hint. It's a medical facility. He works at a medical facility and it starts with the first name of the city. Where could that be? See if you can figure that one out. Okay. Some of you are just getting to know me and I understand you wouldn't know, you know, what I'm talking about. But that that's the hint. So if you want to figure it out and I'm going to give you the answer before we end today. And I'm a little bit over. I love seven minutes over. I'm going to get to the questions. That's just horrendous, right? So what is that place? Do we know that place? Have we figured out that place? I'm sorry. My dog just ran by. I have all these picture windows in my office here. My dog just went zooming by there, I think. I saw a shadow. Maybe it was a squirrel. We have a lot of squirrels out there too. My dog's little so she kind of doesn't show up. Guys, come on. Where does my son live? What's his name? One star for where he lives. Two stars if you know his name. Let's see. Paul doesn't know the answer because he's asking about something else.  He is incredible. He is in great shape. As a matter of fact, I will show you if I can here. He sent me his latest picture because he got back in shape. He went through some medical issues and I'll put his picture up here so you guys can see him. There he is. That's my little boy. He's about six foot five, 240 pounds. That's my little boy right there. That was the picture he sent me the other day. There you go, Paul.  I think he does. I think he does. He's getting ready to do some competitions, these physique competition things he does. I guess I got to give you the answer. You guys don't know the answer. You don't know where he's at or what his name is. His name is Patrick in case you're wondering. He works out at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. He is in the ICU intensive care for heart lung transplants. That's where he's at. He has a little bit of a high pressure job. Mine's easy.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you all very much. Please be seated. I thank you all. It's quite a challenge to follow the San Diego Chicken. I'd like to add a special thanks to the brilliant musicians in the Poway High School Band, the Christian High School Patriot Band, and the Castle Park High School Band. You did yourselves proud, and now will you promise me you'll do all America proud and just say no to drugs. I'm glad to see Bob Naylor and Jody Miller and a guy whose skills as a comedian are matched only by his skills as a poker player, Gabe Welcomeback Cotter Kaplan. And of course I'm delighted to see the guy who brought the America's Cup home to America, Skipper Dennis Connor. It's great to be back in my home state and see so many good friends. And thank you Pete for that wonderful and kind introduction. Of course I don't need to tell the people of San Diego about you, Pete. They know you. You were the best mayor they ever had. But I will anyway. You're a great guy, a great public servant, and come November 9th you'll still be the great senator from the great state of California. But as I say, there's no place like home. You know as my time grows short in Washington, people around the White House are always asking me, Mr. President, why are you humming that old song all the time? And I tell them I just can't get the words out of my mind. Yes, when January 20th rolls around I'm going to be asking every one of you to open up that golden gate because California here I come. I've been telling a lot of my friends back east this isn't a place out here. It's a way of life. I'll feel just fine because nobody knows better than I just how capable and valuable are those two hands I'll be passing the torch to come the 20th of January. And you know George, George took quite a shellacking from the liberals when they had their little party in Atlanta a few months ago.  He stood the fire and just cited the record, his and theirs. Now that the game seems to have turned against them the liberals have started squealing that he's running a negative campaign. Well I hope the people of Oakland will forgive me but that would be a little like the A's complaining that the Dodgers ran a negative world series. They didn't. The Dodgers won fair and square and come November and come November 8th the Republicans are going to win fair and square too because they know we stand for the future and they know the opposition is liberal liberal liberal. That's why I'm here to talk to you about the great Republican ticket from the White House to the State House and make sure everybody who shares our hopes for the future turns out to vote on November 8th. We need Pete Wilson, Duncan Hunter, Bill Lowry and Ron Packard in Washington and we need great congressional candidates like Rob Butterfield in Washington. They all know that a thriving economy a strong national defense and the preservation of the family are the keys to our revolution and that resolution's revolution's going to continue come November 9th. As we get closer and closer to election day we're still hearing some people say it's time for a change. Well ladies and gentlemen we are the change. We started the change eight years ago. Let's talk a little bit about that change. We've been slashing tax rates and liberating the American economy from the regulations and confiscations of the Malays years. When we came into office families everywhere were reeling from regulations and taxes that were sapping this nation's initiative. We took that money out of the grasping hands of the Washington bureaucrats and put it back in the wallets of the people from whom they'd confiscated it in the first place. The working men and women of America. Yes since our expansion began we have created more than 18 million new jobs. We reduced the unemployment rate to nearly the lowest it's been in 14 years and today a greater proportion of our potential workforce that means everybody male and female from the age of 16 on up all the way. They are considered that potential workforce and a greater percentage of that potential workforce 62.7 percent of every one in America above the age of 16 is employed than ever before in the history of the United States of America and then then there's the misery index which you determine by adding the rate of inflation to the rate of unemployment Jimmy Carter invented that as a stick to beat Jerry Ford with in 1976 when it then stood at 13.4 percent. Well after four years of his Malays he didn't mention it again in the 1980 campaign because it had jumped to 21 percent by the time we took office. Today it's less than 10 percent and has shrunk faster than Walter Hudson that 1200 pound man in New York who just lost 700 pounds. You know we'd be able to solve the budget deficit too if we could get the liberals in Congress to follow Walter's example and cut the fat out of their diet. Pete Wilson and I think we ought to put them on a diet a diet called the line item veto and the balanced budget amendment. You know I had the line item veto 43 governors have it. I had it when I was governor of California. I used it 932 times and was never overridden once. Of course the liberals still don't understand how we were able to get rid of their economic crisis their malaise their inflation their gas lines and turn this economy around. What had happened because we understood there's only one way to get America going and that's to turn the American people loose and just watch America go. Pete was very kind in his introduction and you have all been very kind but you know the way I see it really what we did in these eight years in Washington was just get out of your way.  The right kind of negative campaigning say no to new taxes and yes to the Republican ticket. We also want to work on our nation's defenses. We're once again respected in the world. Our armed forces are strong in America as at peace. We and our NATO allies stood firm as Pete told you in the face of Soviet missiles pointing at the heart of Europe and Asia and Mr. Gorbachev got the message. He did business. He did business because he knew we meant business and we still mean business. None of our triumphs no not one would have happened if the liberals had had their way. There would have been no INF treaty or rollback in Afghanistan or democratic revolutions around the globe. They opposed rebuilding our military defenses and even today they want to cancel out of our navy two carrier task forces. Actually what they have planned for the navy is so bad that by the time they get finished Michael may have to row the boat ashore. They opposed the liberation of Grenada. They opposed the blow we struck against terrorist Libya. They opposed our policy of helping freedom fighters advance the cause of liberty around the world. George Bush and I did all these things and I tell you proudly right now we'd both do every single one of them over again. Now you know with the Moscow summit and all these meetings with the general secretary Gorbachev some people think that maybe I've changed that I don't believe the same things that I believe when I came into office. Well I'm here to tell you that's not true. I've long subscribed to a philosophy of world affairs summed up in a phrase that I've quoted to Mr. Gorbachev. Trust everybody but cut the cards. Yes ladies and gentlemen when our friends refuse to whisper the L word and insist that this election isn't about ideology but about competence they're just acknowledging that where they want to take America America doesn't want to go. Another area where we differ is our understanding of the constitution. We've appointed serious minded judges who respect the constitution and know the meaning of the word punishment. This is very important because unlike the state of California the constitution does not give citizens an opportunity to vote supreme court justice is out of power and I don't think America wants the highest court to look the way the California court did before the people of California raised up and said enough if judges if judges don't do their job right criminals feel like I think they can run rampant violent crime has fallen significantly since 1981 because we put criminals on notice make a false move and the next sound you hear is the clang of a jail cell door slamming shut. We also believe that a crack dealer with a machine gun who murders a police officer in the line of duty should receive the death penalty. We owe this protection of the law to the men and women who protect us our state and local police and we stand united behind them and we don't need to see the job of the police made any tougher by the kind of furloughing of first degree murderers even those ineligible for parole that we've seen in the state of massachusetts. That state that state has the most liberal prison program since Billy the Kid sprung the Lincoln county jail. My friends all that we've achieved can be undone quicker than you can say furlough if our liberal friends are successful. Remember how my successor here in California undid many of our accomplishments until George Duke-Majan rode into town? We don't want that to happen again this year. I want to ask you are you going to let it happen again? Yes we've got to do all we can to get our message out so let me take an opinion poll to my own. Will you make sure to turn out and vote Republican on November 8th? Will you give will you give George Bush the Senate he needs by voting for Pete Wilson on November the 8th? Will you give California the protection it needs from those who are just for the birds by voting down the line for our choices at the state and local levels? And will you give will you give George Bush the Congress he needs by turning out for a great slate of Republican representatives like Duncan Hunter, Bill Lowry, Ron Packard and Rob Butterfield? Remember remember it takes the president and congress working together to move America forward so if we have to ride two horses at once shouldn't they both be headed in the same direction? So that's what's on the line this year. Ladies and gentlemen America needs the strength, the vision, the true grit of George Bush and Pete Wilson and with your help and God's grace we'll all have cause to cheer just 12 days from now. You know I have a special place in my heart for the people of California. It was my great privilege to have served two terms as your governor and during our national campaigns it was a source of comfort to know that we could count on the support of the people of California. You've you've already given me so much I hesitate to ask you anything else but will you do just one more favor for me? Will you go out and win one for the Gipper? Thank you all thank you and God bless you all. Mr. President, Mr. President you'll remember back in 1983 when you gave me a call and asked me about what happened in Newport regarding that now famous loss and to the Australians and at that time I promised you that I'd do what I could about bringing that trophy back to America and when the crew of Stars and Stripes was successful in 1987 you were certainly very gracious and kind to invite us to the White House and congratulate us. Well I'd like to turn the tide on you if you don't mind so to speak here. We've got you in San Diego now and I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the fabulous job you've done for all of America. It's been terrific as skipper of our ship Victory 88. Mr. President, well done.

Okay If it's mage rock, what they do?


So I want to preface this discussion by saying that we are in the middle of a heated Democratic Party primary. And I'm saying that we are in the middle of a primary because there are some individuals that want us to think that it's over. That the winner has already been selected, we've chosen the nominee collectively and now it's time to move on and defeat Donald Trump. But I am here to say that's not going to happen. Nobody has cast a vote yet, not a single voter has caucused for or voted for a candidate, but yet pundits are patronizingly telling Bernie Sanders supporters at least that it's over. And if we want to win, then we should just settle for Elizabeth Warren already and accept that she's the best that we're going to be able to get. Well I say to hell with that because nobody's telling Pete Buttigieg's supporters to get behind Joe Biden if they want a centrist to win. Nobody is telling Amy Klobuchar's five supporters that they should back Kamala Harris if they truly want a centrist woman to win. But Bernie Sanders supporters for whatever reason were always the ones who are told even before anyone has voted that we've lost and we need to just accept that reality and support what we get. But we're not going to do that because this is a primary. Making the case for our candidate is not an attack inherently, it's all part of the process. What?  Not only is Bernie Sanders more progressive than Elizabeth Warren when it comes to numerous policies like student loan and medical debt cancellation and foreign policy, but strategically he actually has a plan to galvanize Americans to actually get the policies that he wants implemented codified into law by being the organizer and chief. And that matters if you actually want to pressure lawmakers to pass very bold progressive policies. So Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for the left. If you want social democracy, if you want Medicare for All, I'm sorry, but Bernie Sanders is better than Elizabeth Warren. In fact, he's such a good candidate that I don't know that we're ever going to get a candidate with his record again in our lifetimes. So I'm going to take the time now to advocate for Bernie Sanders. He is better than Elizabeth Warren. But the minute polls start to go south for Bernie Sanders, when we start to see some trends change, then we're told that we should just fall in line and take what we get. But when polls don't look good for us, we do the opposite. We don't surrender. That means we fight harder. And the reason why I say that we fight harder is because we have reasons who as Bernie Sanders supporters fight harder because we can still win this. In fact, Bernie Sanders is in the top three. It's not over. So consider this poll from Monmouth University. Interestingly enough, when it comes to the issue of Medicare for All single payer quote among voters who want a single payer plan, 40% back Warren, 24% back Sanders, 17% back Biden and 2% back Buddha judge. Now I don't know how high voters rank Medicare for All, assuming that it's one of their main issues. If not their main issue. Well, first of all, 59% of Democratic Party primary voters who support Medicare for All, that's their number one option when it comes to health care reform. They don't support Bernie Sanders. Only 24%, one in four support Bernie Sanders, 40% support Warren, which tells us that a lot of Democratic Party primary voters are incredibly misinformed. They think that Elizabeth Warren just citing her support for Medicare for All is enough. And 17% and another 2% think that Biden and Buddha judge actually support single payer. So what this tells us is that we haven't been doing enough to effectively make the case for Bernie Sanders because health care is the number one issue for a lot of voters. And if they truly know that he's the strongest when it comes to Medicare for All single payer, that is how we eat into Elizabeth Warren's lead here. That's how we get voters from Biden and Warren to jump ship and go towards Bernie Sanders. It's because they just don't know that Bernie is the best when it comes to Medicare for All. Bernie has been fighting for this issue for decades. Biden does not support Medicare for All. Buddha just does not support Medicare for All. Elizabeth Warren says she supports Medicare for All, but there's been enough red flags to where we can still make that case effectively and get people who support single payer to back Bernie. Now the reason why I say this is because for months now I have been sounding the alarm. If you look at my YouTube videos on this issue, I've talked about how Elizabeth Warren has been showing signs that she's getting cold feet about Medicare for All. How I have a plan for that message conspicuously excluded to health care up until recently. And last week I went over statements that she's made recently that contradict her supposed support for Medicare for All. And these are things that we need to bring up as Bernie Sanders supporters. And I will link you to all of those videos that I did down below because if that many people who are voting in this Democratic Party primary support single payer and they're not backing Bernie Sanders assuming it's one of their main issues, then they are literally voting against their own interest if they're not supporting Bernie Sanders. So that tells me that we haven't been effective enough at communicating this to voters and Bernie Sanders obviously hasn't as well because a lot of people just assume well you know what I support single payer Elizabeth Warren is the candidate because she also says she backs it. But in actuality Elizabeth Warren has been wishy-washy on this issue not just in 2019 but she's always been fairly wishy-washy when it comes to single payer Medicare for All and voters just don't know about that but I'm here to help you and educate you and let you know that if you support Medicare for All Elizabeth Warren isn't the candidate that you want to be backing it's Bernie Sanders. Now unlike other candidates to her credit actually Elizabeth Warren has supported single payer before other Democrats but she's always been fairly wishy-washy on this issue and this is pointed out by Holly Otterbeen in an article for Politico where she writes seven years before Elizabeth Warren said I'm with Bernie on Medicare for All she was campaigning for the Senate and didn't want to talk about single payer health care running a tough race against Republican incumbent Scott Brown the first time candidate repeatedly distanced herself from the idea in one interview she was grilled by New England cable news host Jim Broad he wanted to know if she'd support single payer if she were the Zarina in other words if politics weren't an obstacle I think right now what we have to do I'm serious about this I think you've got to stay with what's possible Warren said nodding to the recently passed Affordable Care Act and I think what we're doing and look at the dust up around this we really need to consolidate our gains around what we've got on the table Warren's refusal to embrace single payer during that campaign came four years after she co-wrote an essay that called it the most obvious solution to the nation's health care woes though perhaps politically unacceptable Warren's record on Medicare for All has drawn scrutiny from some single payer advocates many activists trust that she is fully on board with the policy and would push for it in the White House as strongly as Sanders according to a survey of nearly 20 people and organizations that support Medicare for All but some including even Warren's allies are less certain we know that if Elizabeth Warren is elected president we're going to have to work hard to make sure she prioritizes it appropriately since Sal Roselli president of the National Union of Health Care Workers which has endorsed both Sanders and Warren we know that Bernie Sanders will because of history now let me just say to that last point there at the dual endorsement if you support Medicare for All and you know that you're going to have to push Elizabeth Warren to prioritize it why wouldn't you just support Bernie Sanders I mean things like this it just it doesn't make sense to me but what does this tells me deep down is that Elizabeth Warren she knows that single payer Medicare for All is the correct policy it's just a matter of whether or not she thinks it's politically expedient to pursue that policy so let's look at her history and contrast that with Bernie Sanders Bernie has had one position consistently single payer Medicare for All Elizabeth Warren she supported single payer before a lot of other Democrats to her credit but then when she ran for the Senate and then flipped but then in 2017 she supported Bernie Sanders Medicare for All Bill and then in 2019 she announced that she's running for president and she kind of started to waver on it then she endorsed it again at a debate and then she endorsed it again at the following debate and now she's starting to waver on it and by the time she gets to the White House who knows what her position will be but what we do know is that if Elizabeth Warren is elected there will be uncertainty with regard to the health care reform that she pushes so we could get Medicare for All if Elizabeth Warren is president but let's be honest I don't think that's gonna happen and if it does it will be with us pushing her so if you support Medicare for All if you're one of the 40% of Democrats who support single payer health care but you're opting for Elizabeth Warren as your number one choice this is what you need to know about this is what Sanders supporters should be educating people about because Elizabeth Warren there's just so many red flags that there's not as much trust there when it comes to Medicare for All to where if this is your number one issue then there's no question about it there's no doubts if you support Bernie we know that winner lose he'll at least fight for Medicare for All and the reason why Elizabeth Warren I think has won over a lot of you know elites establishment Democrats is because they know that if Bernie Sanders is elected you know he's saying Medicare for All and he's gonna crack skulls to make sure that happens whereas Elizabeth Warren is saying you know what I'm gonna bring everyone together we're all gonna hash it out and I'm gonna advocate advocate for Medicare for All but this isn't a contest and if somebody else proposes a bill that can be passed more easily that's more politically expedient we're gonna go with that instead so the reason why I say this it's not just due to speculation because people who know Elizabeth Warren people who worked with her Harry Reid for example is also saying yeah I don't really believe that she supports Medicare for All either she's not really in love with it this is what he said in an interview on CNN with David Axelrod there is a concern as well that's expressed by some establishment Democrats that she is too far left I think that that's a let's just wait for example Medicare for All I asked me how do you feel about that I said I think what we need to do first is let's make sure Obamacare is strengthened again Republicans have done everything they can to hurt it let's strengthen it we almost got the public option the first time that's as good as Medicare for All anyway and so that's not what she's saying well but I think you give her some time I think that she's not in love with that I think she you'll wait and see how that all turns out so you think she's more pragmatic than oh I know she's pragmatic his weight so what that should tell you is that Harry Reid is an idiot first of all he is so corrupt he's basically like a mafia boss in Nevada and if you want to run for Congress in Nevada then you have to kiss Harry Reid's ring so let's just let's point that out and on top of that he's saying you know in his view strengthening Obamacare should be a priority that doesn't even make sense that's just a distraction he also says we almost got a public option the first time no you didn't Obama didn't even push forward and he said that a public option is as good as Medicare for all no because it's not free at the point of service meaning if you don't have money you don't get health care which means you could die in this country if you're homeless you have to enroll in a public option right if you're poor you still have to enroll in a public option and what these private insurance companies will do is push everyone who's sick onto the public plan and they will only offer insurance to the healthy but if you have single payer then everyone is in one risk pool which overall reduces the costs of the overall system it cuts down on bureaucracy right so what Harry Reid is saying there completely idiotic but there is a grain of truth to what he says about Elizabeth Warren I think when it comes to Medicare for all and Elizabeth Warren he says quote give her some time I think that she's not in love with it exactly the writings on the wall there's a lot of red flags with Elizabeth Warren if you support Medicare for all single payer Elizabeth Warren is not your candidate it's Bernie Sanders and during a primary I shouldn't be fearful that I'm going to be smeared as a sexist Bernie bro for pointing that out this is a primary right this is the time when we make our case and I tell you why the candidate I support is better than your candidate and you know Bernie Sanders has a record that is unlike any other candidate he has a record that goes back decades where he is fighting for civil rights LGBTQ rights Medicare for all single payer he's been consistent here and if we elect him we'll know where he stands words with Elizabeth Warren there's enough red flags to where that's going to be an open question who knows what we'll get if she's in office even if Bernie Sanders is elected we don't necessarily know that Medicare for all will become the law of the land because he's going to have to fight for it and I know he's going to fight for it with which matters but when it comes to Elizabeth Warren if there's any doubts that she's going to fight for it really hard then that means we're probably not going to get Medicare for all if she's already showing signs that she's really willing to concede and waiver we're probably not going to get Medicare for all right so we need to communicate this to voters lots of people who are voting in this primary support Medicare for all and the way that we and the way that Bernie Sanders team differentiates himself from Elizabeth Warren is by stressing that he's the one candidate who has remained committed to Medicare for all and only Medicare for all for decades


I think we just go back to this idea of childhood being this chrysalis for identity and that play is childhood, that you cannot separate them and play is learning and it's the most valuable type of learning and ultimately it's a gift to us as educators, we can step into the children's world rather than bringing them out of their world into ours if we go into theirs then it's the most incredible place to go adventuring in, it's like going into Narnia and who doesn't want to go to Narnia?
