8 Reasons To Teach English In Thailand Thailand has been a major destination on the Southeast Asia backpacking trail for many years and it is now also one of the biggest employers of foreign teachers in the region. So what is it about Thailand that attracts thousands of teachers every year from all corners of the earth? And what is it that makes many of them stay for far longer than they ever intended? This list of 8 reasons to teach English in Thailand should provide some answers to these questions and maybe put it on your radar of potential teaching destinations. 1. A Friendly Welcome Anyone who has visited Thailand will know that the local people are among the friendliest and most welcoming in the world. As a popular tourist hotspot, the Thai people are no strangers to foreign visitors and most are more than happy to share their community with teachers regardless of their nationality. Thailand is also a very safe country for foreign teachers. In fact, violent crime is amongst the lowest in the region and much lower than many developed nations. Wherever you end up living and working in the country, you are sure to see why Thailand is traditionally known as the Land of Smiles. 2. Fun in the Classroom Another highlight for many English teachers in Thailand is the fun approach to learning that many schools encourage. Unlike some other countries in Asia, such as Japan and South Korea, where education can be very formal, English lessons in Thai schools tend to focus on the use of games and other fun activities as a way of learning the language. This light-hearted approach to lessons appeals to many teachers who are looking for more fun and less stress in the classroom. Although your students might be a little boisterous or even cheeky on occasion, Thais generally have a deep-rooted respect for the teaching profession, so major discipline problems in the classroom are rare. 3. Exceptional Food Thai cuisine has become one of the most popular international foods in many parts of the world, however, there is nothing quite like eating it in the country where it originates. Wherever you are in Thailand you will never be far away from a variety of street food stalls serving up delicious local dishes from spicy curries and stir fries to noodle soups and exotic salads. As well as providing exceptional quality, the country's countless food stalls also offer incredible value for money as dishes cost a mere fraction of what you would pay back home. With cheap and delicious food so readily available, it is no wonder that most locals and visitors alike rarely cook at home. 4. The Tropical Climate If you are fed up with the long cold winters of North America or Europe, a visit to Thailand might be just what you need. As it is located in the tropics just to the north of the equator, Thailand enjoys year-round warm weather in most parts of the country. In fact, it is one of those places where you can comfortably get by with only shorts, a shirt and sandals at any time of the year, except of course in the classroom. During the monsoon season, you can also enjoy spectacular lightning storms and regular showers which bring welcome relief after the long, hot dry season. 5. World Class Beaches If the thought of spending your spare time lying in a hammock under a swaying palm tree as the sun sets over the horizon appeals to you, then Thailand could be your perfect destination. Right across the country, you will find hundreds of beaches where you can do just that. Even if you live and work in the capital city, Bangkok, you will have a choice of great beach resorts within a couple of hours by car or bus. The country also boasts hundreds of tropical islands of all sizes, many of which offer comfortable beach bungalows at very affordable prices where you can enjoy a relaxing weekend away. 6. A Central Location The opportunity to explore new countries is one of the main highlights of teaching English abroad for many people. If you choose Thailand as your destination you will find your base right in the heart of Southeast Asia, which offers some of the most exciting and exotic locations in the world. As one of the biggest air transport hubs in Asia, Bangkok is the perfect gateway to exploring dozens of fascinating countries in the region, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam. Of course, you don't need to leave the country to enjoy exciting adventures as Thailand itself has a wide variety of cities, towns, islands, mountains and wildlife parks to explore. 7. Plenty of Time Off Another great feature of working as an English teacher in Thailand is the copious amount of holidays you can enjoy. The country's laid-back attitude to life is highlighted by the fact that it has the fourth highest number of public holidays in the world.  Thanks to this great work-life balance you will have plenty of time to explore the country and to enjoy all the highlights it has to offer. 8. Low Cost of Living Although teachers do not earn the kind of salaries that are offered by some other Asian countries, the low cost of living in Thailand means you can afford to live comfortably on a teacher's salary. Basic expenses such as accommodation, transport and food are very cheap by Western standards so you should have plenty left over to enjoy a night on the town or a relaxing massage. If you find that your salary is not quite enough to live as you would like you can also top it up by taking on a few private students in your spare time. This is common practice in Thailand and very easy to arrange. Are you ready to teach English in Thailand?

So, as Janet mentioned, I work for the Humane Society of the United States and I work with institutions, schools, hospitals, colleges, universities and others to help them with adding more plant-based options to their menus and reducing the amount of meat that they're serving. But I haven't always been a vegetarian or vegan, I am now, but I started off as a little girl in Chesapeake, Virginia who just loved animals. Do any of you have older siblings? Yeah, okay. So I grew up with an older sister, you'll probably relate to this story. Her name is Jennifer and we grew up in Chesapeake, Virginia, which is the southern part of the state, so I'm from the south. Jennifer and I had three dogs, Pete, Casey and Tinkerbell and we loved those dogs. We considered them members of our family and everywhere we went, those dogs would be with us. Whether we were wedging out in front of MTV, which was new at the time when I was little, or we were riding our bicycles around the neighborhood. Tinkerbell was there and I would dress her up in my dolls' clothing and carry her around. I swear she liked it, but these dogs were just part of our family. I also learned to love to cook when I was a little girl. My uncle came to stay with us one summer and he taught us how to cook scrambled eggs. And therefore it became my favorite food because it was the only thing I knew how to cook. I just loved watching them go from goo to something that you could eat within just moments. So one day my older sister, as older siblings often do, was taunting me about the scrambled eggs that I was about to eat. And she said, you know what those are, right? Dead baby birds. And that news hit me. I didn't know if I could believe her or not, but I knew one thing for sure and that is I didn't want to eat dead baby birds because I loved animals. At the time I thought about the little ducklings that a friend of ours got for Easter that year. These little fluffy yellow things who were waddling around. So I decided I was not going to eat eggs anymore. I pushed them away and as of that day was done eating eggs. Little did I know as a young girl that they were in a lot of my favorite foods like cakes and cookies. So I'd continue eating them in those forms, but I stopped eating my scrambled eggs that I would make fried eggs. I wouldn't eat anything like that. Call me a late learner, but it wasn't until I was in college that I became vegetarian. And that's when a college marketing professor was describing euphemisms and how we use terms to sanitize things often. And the example that she provided was meat. She said what if we were to call it what it really is instead of just putting it in this tidy package. And meat is the flesh of dead animals. And so you know after that I started thinking about it and every time I would sit down to eat. I would try to eat a chicken sandwich or a hamburger and I thought this is not just meat. This was a living being and so I couldn't eat meat anymore. And at the time I had no idea that it wasn't just that we were eating animals, but that we were torturing them in ways that as somebody who cares about animals I didn't find acceptable. So I started investigating and I learned that the real problem with eggs is not that we are killing baby birds, although we do quite a bit of that, but rather that we are confining egg-laying hens. Chickens who are laying the millions of eggs that we eat every single year, we're confining them in tiny cages that are about the size of a desk door. Each bird has about as much space as an iPad on which to live her entire life. My next door neighbors have chickens and they come over every day because I feed the squirrels and they discover that the seeds fall on the ground. I come over and demand food and I get to see them and their interesting personalities. They're very inquisitive. They like to peck around searching for food when I've run out of food to give them. And they also have different preferences. One loves tomatoes, the other loves blueberries and they take dust baths. They fling dust up on their feathers and shake it off as a way to clean themselves. And they come to know chickens as beings who are capable of joy and suffering. But let's go back to those birds that I was describing in the cages. They're unable to do any of those things. They can't take dust baths. They can't perch. They can't choose where they want to spend their time. They're confined in these tiny cages for the duration of their egg-laying life for about 18 months and then they're eventually sent off to slaughter. They also learned about the way that we confine mother pigs in the pork industry. So these are the mothers who are breeding the babies that are going into the pork supply. They're confined in these cages that are about two feet wide by seven feet long, which is about the size of their bodies. These animals are confined there for the duration of their pregnancy, which lasts about four months. They're put into another crate to give birth. Their babies are taken away. They're re-impregnated and that cycle repeats for about four years. These are highly intelligent, very sensitive animals who in lab tests have outperformed dogs in terms of their intelligence. It's really hard to imagine a more miserable existence for these incredibly intelligent and sensitive animals. So when I learned all of those things, I decided to become vegan and to devote my life to helping animals. And I'm very fortunate to have been able to do that for about the last 20 years. You can guess how old I am. But I learned along the way that it's not just good for animals to eat none of them or fewer of them, but it's also good for the planet. In the book I share the story of a woman named Lita Galicia now. She met her husband Sam during the war. He was in the Philippines and that's where she grew up. He liberated her hometown and that's where they fell in love. They decided to get married. And they wanted to move back to the United States where they would raise a family in true village style. So they pulled their money together with some other families and they bought a plot of land out in Lathrop, which is in the Central Valley, about 60 miles east of here. And they were able to do that living very peacefully for many years. There was a small egg farm down the street from their house that was eventually bought out by Olivera Egg Ranch. Olivera Egg Ranch probably conjures an image of a red barn, rolling green hills, chickens pecking out in the pasture. But this facility was nothing like that. Imagine 700,000 egg laying hens in those cages that I just described to you right outside your door, essentially. There were massive warehouses that were the length of football fields containing 700,000 egg laying hens that was at the foot of their driveway. And so for the animals, of course, it was a travesty. For Lita and her neighbors, they had to live with the stench of 700,000 birds right outside of their home. Sometimes the air was so thick with flies, they couldn't even open their window. You all were outside today. Imagine how hot it is in the Central Valley right now and the smell of ammonia fumes. Sometimes the air was so thick with the ammonia that they couldn't open their windows. Ammonia from the chicken manure, the smell. So it caused their eyes to burn. It caused their lungs to burn. They were nauseated. They reached out to the Humane Society and we have a litigation team that sued on their behalf claiming that this was a nuisance and we prevailed getting a settlement out of court. So Lita and her neighbors got a financial settlement and some people might say, well, they won. But in the end, they lost years of quality of life because they couldn't even enjoy their home. They couldn't enjoy the outdoors. And we are all losing because that's still the way the vast majority of animal agribusiness disposes of their waste. They put it in these massive manure lagoons. So it's just a cesspool of waste that says they're completely untreated. And of course we could never do that with human waste but that is the way that animal agriculture disposes of its waste. And so we know that it's very wasteful to raise animals. We're putting lots of land, water, fertilizers, oil and all these resources into raising animals instead of consuming those foods directly, the grains, the pulses that we're feeding to the animals we could be eating ourselves. But it also obviously produces a tremendous amount of waste. I also learned about the health benefits of eating more plant-based foods. So a lot of people do it for animals. A lot of people do it for the environment.  And in the book I share the story of Ken Chadwick who is a food service director at American University. So as I mentioned, we travel around, we work with schools and other institutions to help them get more plant-based foods on their menus. So we met Ken after he had already gone through this incredible transition. Ken was working at American University and he had worked at other universities in the Washington, D.C. area, one of the nation's most prestigious universities, Georgetown GW. And he had been working in the food service industry for a long time. So he knew about the demand for plant-based foods and students were routinely coming to him saying they wanted more vegetarian options, they wanted more vegan options. And his answer had traditionally been, we have a great salad bar.  Salad's great, but you want to have a greater variety of food in your diet. So when Ken got to American University, he had students saying, we want more vegan options. And his answer, he realized, was not sufficient. And so he decided that he would do something really unusual and that was that as of the next day he would become vegan. So he could see what it would be like to eat vegan on campus. He wanted to be able to relate to the students he was there to serve. So a little bit about Ken. When this whole journey started, he was 327 pounds. He said that he had aches and pains in his entire body. His joints hurt. He also had to undergo gallbladder surgery and have his gallbladder removed because it was 97% inoperable. His doctor was worried that he would die on the operating table because he was so unhealthy. But because his gallbladder wasn't working anymore, they had no other choice but to operate. He was in his late 30s. He's a young guy. So he said that he would do various things to try to lose weight. He started walking and then later running and he could run a mile and then just collapse. It was everything he could do not to gain more weight but to maintain that 327 pounds. And he shared a really sad story. He said that there was one day when he was just putting on a sock and he had to lie on his side, on the bed, get it on his toe and then shimmy the sock up his foot and his wife walked in when he was doing it. She's like, baby, you're getting winded just putting your sock on. And it was really embarrassing as you can imagine and he felt terrible for this. So Ken obviously needed to experience some changes in his life. And so when he started going vegan, the weight just started rapidly dropping off of him so quickly that the students on campus called him the Incredible Shrinking Man. So within just a few months he had lost tens of pounds and by the end of this whole transition he's still eating mostly vegan and I'll share a bit about that here in just a second. He was down to about 200 pounds so he lost a tremendous amount of weight by eating this way. And of course he was able to get off of his medication for high blood pressure and all of the joint pains and aches that he was experiencing went away. As you can imagine, the students also benefited because you have a guy who now sees the benefits himself. They started doing Meatless Monday on campus where all of their main entrees would be meatless. His dining team teamed up with our culinary professionals and they opened a vegan restaurant on campus and another incredible turn of events is that he no longer works at American University. He's now working for the Humane Society International in Mexico where he's doing exactly what my team is doing and trying to spread the word to that country there because he's become a true believer. Now this is one person who is serving thousands of meals every single day at American and he realizes that the students who are eating there are in a tremendous position to be today's students but tomorrow's thought leaders. So he's educating them on the benefits of introducing them to this whole other way of eating. So I feel like that's a tremendous success story in itself. Now I'll share one final story with you of another individual because as I mentioned Ken is eating mostly vegan and I should add that he realizes now the impacts of his diet choices not just on his own health but on the planet, on animals, on workers and all of the other things that we impact on every single meal that we're eating but that he no longer eating mindlessly. I think that's something that people don't think about when we're eating unconsciously that sometimes we're just shoving food in our mouths and he said that's what he used to do but now he's thinking about the impacts that his food has on himself and the planet. So he eats vegan most of the time but if there's a favorite food that he feels like he can't pass up like soft shell crabs was the example that he gave to me. It's in season for two weeks out of the year and it's a favorite food so he might have one but he's eating vegan most of the time. Now there was another person who I interviewed for the book his name is Anthony Williams and he was a California Fish and Game Commissioner who for many years had tried to eat a vegan diet or a vegetarian diet. The first time was after he saw the film I'm going to supersize me Borgans Burlach's film, any of you see that? So for those of you who didn't see it it's a film about a guy who just goes on a 30 day binge eating all of his meals at McDonald's and he undergoes some pretty severe health consequences and he has another documentary coming out eminently in the film they show footage of factory farming and so Anthony saw that and he decided he would like to become vegetarian so he did and he got his wife to join him and they ate that way for about nine months until they were going to visit her family in Japan and they realized that it might be culturally insensitive or at least that's what they thought to show up and say we don't eat certain foods so they slowly started integrating more meat back into their diets and when they came home from their visit they continued to eat meat. A couple of years later they had gotten married they had raised a family and he was moving to from Southern California to Northern California just staying back at home with the kids watched the documentary Food Inc did any of you see that film? So they saw that and then she called him up and said honey we're going vegetarian again so they tried the diet they tried two diet eating a vegetarian diet with their kids and they realized that when life got really busy that they just started falling off the wagon and once they fell off they didn't stick with it they were like we failed so we're just back to our regular diet and so Anthony came to a gala that the Humane Society organized a couple of years ago and that's where he learned about Meatless Monday it's a program that was started by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health that encourages people to eat meat free at least one day a week for their health, for animals, for the environment it just gets your week off to a healthy start and you know that at least one seventh of your meals that week will be meat free so he learned about that and he thought that's doable that's something that I think I can stick with and who can't eat meat free just one day a week so he went back home from that event and he talked to his family and it turned out that his kids school was participating in Meatless Monday so what they agreed to do is a Meatless Monday plus every single day of the week at least one of their meals would be meat free and this has been over two years and Anthony said that not only he's doing Meatless Monday and continuing to stick with that one meal per day that's meat free but that most of their meals throughout the week are meatless and when his wife does cook meat she does most of the cooking in the house that she uses much smaller portions so they found that that works for them so I share that this because I want to emphasize that 100% doesn't work for everybody I'm vegan but I didn't become vegan overnight I stopped eating eggs I became vegetarian in college and then I later became vegan but that doesn't work for everyone I know some people who became vegan overnight and others who are still eating Meatless on Mondays or who are trying to eat more meat free meals throughout the week and so I encourage everybody to find what works for you and make that your routine make that your habit I recognize that changing your diet can sometimes be difficult there are a lot of obstacles to change does anybody know what some of those obstacles are time? time, convenience another big obstacle is I think a misconception or perception that we have to do it all at once so in the book I share some advice from a friend of mine Melina Escherich she's the head of the psychology school over at the Wright Institute in Berkeley and she studies behavior change and she talks about just trying to shrink the change because if you've been eating a certain way your entire life you've been eating a very standard American diet lots of meat, lots of eggs, lots of dairy and then you go to eating brown rice in broccoli because you think that's what vegans eat you're not going to feel satisfied it's going to feel way too overwhelming so shrink it into more bite-sized chunks start out with the Meatless Monday or do what Mark Bitman who was former New York Times columnist suggest which is eat vegan before six so at least two thirds of your meals are vegan and then build on it from there then do a Meatless Monday through Friday and then add in Saturday and Sunday but breaking it up into smaller bite-sized pieces makes it feel more doable and less overwhelming another big obstacle is our community so we tend to eat like our friends and our family members do all of you can probably think about a meal that you've had when a server comes over and says do you want dessert and you look at the person across the table from you and say I don't know you're going to have dessert because if you have dessert I'll have dessert so we're very influenced by the way that our friends, our family and our community eat and so it's very difficult in many instances to be the only person in your family in your community who's eating a vegan or vegetarian diet there was research that was published in the New England Journal of Clinical Nutrition that found that if you have a spouse who is overweight or obese that your chance goes up to by 30% of being overweight or obese and if you have a friend, a very close friend who is it goes up by 50% so Dr. Walter Willett who is the most cited nutritionist in the world and I'm just continuing to add to that has said that obesity is contagious but so can physical activity and healthy eating be we can also use our communities and our friends for good so a word of advice is if you're going to try to eat vegetarian or vegan or do Meatless Monday get your friends and family to join you get your office to do Meatless Monday potlucks or otherwise be there to support you because not only will it help with ensuring your success but it also adds then multiplies the benefits of what you're intending to do and then of course the time, the cost, all of those things that I think are common misperceptions sometimes when I get home if I don't feel like cooking I might decide alright I'm going to call and get takeout or something but in the time it takes to do that often I could have prepared something really quick, simple and healthy so it's just a matter of getting to know what those options are with respect to the cost again, it can be very expensive to order takeout and we're not talking about just the cost that you're paying there at the register but the added cost of the health problems that you might experience later when you're paying for insurance or paying for doctor visits because you're not feeling very good there's a wonderful website called Plant Based on the Budget that has meal plans for all of your groceries for an entire week for $20 so it can be very inexpensive to eat a plant based diet because when you think about it beans, pulses, legumes, those foods you can purchase in bulk you can buy dried beans you can store them for a long time they have long shelf life and they're very nutrient dense foods the website it's a website called Plant Based on a Budget so I will just wrap up by sharing that there are very few things that we do every single day that have such an incredible impact on the world on our health on animals on workers as when we eat we can sit down to eat and make decisions that are going to have a positive impact or a detrimental impact but every time we eat we are having an impact our forks and knives are incredibly incredibly powerful tools I don't think people think of them as that but they are these incredibly powerful tools so I hope that all of us will use them for good thank you


I'm going to show you how to use a screen recording tool called Loom. So the first thing you'll have to do is install the extension and then just make sure you set up your account. If you're using your school account, you get all of the educator benefits for free. So make sure you use your school account to sign up for your Loom account. Once you have the extension installed, it'll be this little purple icon right up here. So when I click on that, it's going to ask, what do you want to record? I'm going to choose my screen and camera. So and excuse how I look today, it is Christmas dress-up day. So my choices are screen and camera, screen only, which will just be my actual desktop. My camera only, it's a great tool to record quick messages to students or other people, just records yourself. I'm going to use both just to show you what everything looks like. Make sure your microphone is set up to what you want to use. Make sure your camera is on the right one. And all you have to do is click start recording. Now before you do that, you can move the picture of yourself, the video, if you're recording yourself anywhere you want. You can also resize it if you wanted to make it bigger or smaller. You can also click this little X right here and delete it if you want. But I'm going to leave mine running.  I'm going to click the start recording button. It'll give me my options. I have two monitors going, so I have two to choose from. I'm just going to choose this whole desktop. You could also do a window of an application or a Chrome tab. I'm going to do the entire desktop, which is usually what I do. I'm going to click the share button. It's going to give me my countdown. And I'm officially recording. So all I need to do now is go about telling my students or staff what it is I want them to see, what I want to do. The real nice thing about this picture of yourself is you can kind of move it around and maybe you want to show them about how these Google classroom directions for parents are. And if I can just point. So all you have to do is click right here. So you've got your little talk bubble over here somewhere. And I can go to different tabs. I can open up just about anything. Maybe it's a meet I want to show or whatever tool it is you're trying to explain.  Sometimes it takes a second to populate, but you do your screencast as you want. And when you're all done, you just go back up to that little icon and you can stop it or click the little check box right down here. So if I click check, it will finish the video. It'll open a new tab into my Loom account. The name of your Loom video by default will be the website you are on. So I'll want to definitely change that. So I'm just going to go over here, my Loom demo. And this is where it gets super easy. All I have to do is click copy link. And I now have a link to that copied. So if I were to go into a student tab, so this is like a student would see, and I just send that link to them, whether it's through Google Classroom or an email. This is what they would see of playable high resolution screencast. Super easy, really nice. Another added benefit for people want to take this a little step beyond, this call to action is really cool. So let's say I was telling these students, you really have to go to this website. I want to show you how it works, and I want to send it to my blog. If I do this call to action at the very end, it puts a button anywhere that I want to put it into the screen. So the button text, I'm going to say badnerbytes. I'm going to put the link to that button, which is just badnerbytes.com. I can change the color if I want. I can make it rounded square.  Now what's really cool is when they're done watching that video at the very end, that little button comes up, and when I click it, it jumps right to the website so they can watch that video, and then it takes them directly to the website I wanted them to go to. Super easy, super awesome. So after you've recorded your videos, if you head back to your Luma count, that video would be in there. If you go over here to the left hand side where it says personal, if I click on that, that's all the videos that I have made. You can create folders right in your personal Luma library here to organize things. So keep in mind that all of your Luma videos are stored on the Luma website. They're not in your drive, they're not in your device, but Luma will give you unlimited space so you can store all of your videos right here. You can put them right into folders to help you organize. You can make shared folders. There's a lot more you can do with it, but definitely organize your video so you can easily find them and use them later.

Oh Combo to the beam nice cheap pick up good assist call there really allowed us to get that but overall not bad I'm I feel like we should throw more key blast then again. He does have a move that literally Does not allow that to work. Let's see if he does it again. He didn't. Oh, no. Oh Why does they know I have no idea why I stood up. He just stepped on it. All right, don't level three, okay? Okay, we should live this anyway But one more good One more good touch would have been it. All right time to switch out again Let's go. Let's go back to the the classic super Saiyan protagonist They might have nerfed him, but you can never know. No, they nerfed him. All right to him. Oh, I could have actually killed beam It is C. I knew it dude. I could have seen that but I guessed it from the bar doc switch Yeah, we can kill here one van is should be enough. Oh, we're gonna have to throw another bar on this Still not bad though. A kill is worth two bars to me. A kill is definitely worth two bars. I'm not trying to save Especially when I get when I have two EX bars for this double the fun Two H now, let's go A good two H is gonna put the first round behind us and the all goku team gets a win lock down That was sick. Okay Do we we can expect some adaptations here I'm expecting more C assist. I'm expecting less reflects. Those are two of the things that are pretty high Oh, wow, this is loading time is hitting right now Hello fighters. Are you there? Oh? fighters Wait, what's what's happening? I'm different. Oh, no What? Okay, I think that just means I think that just means it's not on the leaderboard right now I thought it I thought it was basically saying you're not gonna get your points for that one No points allowed that was a warm-up match to which that oh, I could have gotten punished for that Zamasu Look at the teamwork with Zamasu. It's still a beam. That was a That's why when I first saw that move when it was first that revealed that Goku black was gonna be in the game I was like wait a command grab. That's also a beam. That's broken Ha ha ha But turns out was not necessarily broken as Goku black Not seen as the most powerful character right now Although to be fair, it is important to know Goku black was seen as really good when the game first came out dragon rush We will take that every day of the week. Yeah, Goku black was a menace back in the day Not and he wasn't even different like he was the exact same character as he is now Just gonna to him again. Oh the reflects are back. That was actually kind of nice All right, so we do still see those reflects see assists to reset the combo. Get me back down on the ground no extension though Can we see some loops? Oh? No, no loops file not found am I dead for that? I'm dead Unless we see a drop, please Okay, maybe oh there it is an actual drop. Oh That hits overhead Probably just spun it on me. Okay. I gotta remember that hits overhead. All right, you know, I'm I'm loving fighters right now I'm looking up. Oh, I couldn't defend that. No. Wow that wasn't even attacked That was unfortunate for him. Just caught a few jabs to the face. Thanks to the assist making me block. Oh So slow I blocked that though, right? Okay, good. Oh, I couldn't tell what happened Goku black confused me.  Never mind.  You healed him. Oh, I should have been more careful to what I asked for Bardock, please stop No, are they all see assist? They're all see assist. I Can't believe it. I just noticed now All right, we can kill here Maybe actually I might have I knocked him too high.   Okay. I'm better reflect better reflect. I just want it to be like you. I learned it from watching you. Oh Beautiful to age and now oh Why did you drop it?  I Literally took my hands off my control. I was like, all right. Let me focus up and then he hit me. Why? That was so I end I use my super dash already that is fine. Well, we can adapt we can get better All right, that's fine. Man that reset is so important. That's one of those situations where I was just like, all right My opponent got me. Let me go ahead and readjust in my seat and he dropped it and now I'm dead. Oh Bardock stop Beam random neutral beam. Sometimes they work. You just got to throw it out there. You got to trust in them Sit down. I didn't think he'd attack. Oh, no All right, we're sparking for sure. Yeah, there's no need. There's no reason not to whoa. Okay super dash was Incredible there. I did not expect that. Oh, why is he sparking? Who is this guy? Oh, no, am I dead unless we get another drop? I probably am with four bars drop it Yes, you should have never messed with your food. Oh, that was unfortunate. Okay Oh loading time is a lot faster. Man, that was unfortunate. Okay rematch though Okay, lot to clean up in the rematch. Obviously we got got hit with some some resets in progress again A combos never truly dropped. It's just a reset in progress should have followed those wise words And maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. Oh, but now i'm back. I'm back Goku black setting a great precedent here. We are just Absolutely getting a lot of health off here. All right. I'm just trying to keep Oh, I should have just gone for the normal route should have just gone for the normal route Don't let him switch but he did I'm just gonna roll. Oh, no, please w click the button That's fine No vanishing allowed take this the way he just jabs go through there Reflected off me. Oh My goodness that could have been bad. I will take this instead I I went for two reflex. He only wanted one normal That is not a matchup that does good for me. Get back here. God slicer, bro Where's my orb super? Give me that Kamehameha just to add on the damage and instant transmission kamehameha Shocking speed. Let me go ahead and get that character right now. We're in a very good spot to win So all three characters are good health and sparking Oh Only to get caught by that sea assist Barrock don't level three here. I just want to get up off the ground. Nice We block that overhead Oh, go go turn around Oh Goku That's fine I'm a okay with this. I think As long as all right still no level three I'm gonna I'm gonna early spark tech. I mean, I guess it's not early in the game But early for my care six m that was that was I didn't think he'd expect that choice and it looked like he didn't I'm glad I went with it You know what why not kaioken super all five bars being spent why not? Well, I guess because I took him out of the corner, but let me get that corner back There you are I don't know why goku says that like he didn't do the beam that distracted him Man hides his opponent that says there you are like bro. You did that All right, it's the transmission in front behind behind No super dash on oh, that's it. That's game. That should be game right there Oh, I didn't even get to ex kick make me make it slide in and out No, ex kick not going to go but we still overall take the game with the all goku team first set went pretty well for us I feel like the second set might be the decider though. Whoo great games to that opponent. We are moving on Okay, we are back and I feel like I should have mentioned this before but yes The colors I've chosen for my characters are intentional. I try to get the most Like uniforms for their hairstyle. That was sick. Nice try garage.  I've decided against it this time god slicer again. It's too good I wish krillin had that two-h. Maybe I don't actually oh I gotta start looking at my opponent's team man Oh, is that death that is death for goku black unless i'm mistaken It's I mean it should be it's just gonna be it's gonna be a little more expensive than we all would like it to be Maybe it wouldn't maybe it didn't have to be I don't know why I do you know what? I did it for the styles what I did it for kaioken We'll just say that to make me feel better about it. Oh, man All right, we're up a character. We are down spark. The one css is taking care of We still have to deal with limit break broley though if we get there and he is putting on quite a show Five bars. Is he gonna spend any of it? Level three coming our way one final flash. I mean not final fast final coming out coming up Now I have to play defense Wall tag says otherwise. Let's go God slicer Oh, it's a zombie. We are getting a lot of mileage out of that today Wish I was getting a lot of mileage out of my skills, but they're just uh They're just not feeling well today No block that's unfortunate Lock that any command grabs you want to throw out Oh stay in the corner, please Why did I I did not mean to hit the vanish button it kind of worked kind of worked out anyway slicer Oh, we got the second half of it that move really I've always said this even though I've never played google black I know they're key blast, but it really sucks that you could superdash through that move Oh, I tried mashing it out there. That's fine. He had to use the spark one at one point or another Might as well get some bar out of it This is broley though. This isn't this is a death. This is a big L for the team. Oh Why he overextended there? Goku Stop Stop. Oh, I mixed myself in front of him. Oh, no the unfortunate self mix the forbidden mix You're never supposed to mix yourself, but I'll take a dragon risk for sure. Let's go I'm open to turn up the tempo in the next game. So Or maybe I should save and maybe I should turn up the tempo at this game, dude We got to get a quick with now I couldn't guard cancel there because Goku was still in the middle of dying Which I didn't really uh fully grasp until then To which that no the little too early. I could feel that I could feel the superdash in the room But just a bit too early. That was unfortunate. Do we die here? What's the health look up? We're fine. We're well fine is a stretch, but we're not dead Why? We're dead Broly All right, I got something for you broly. I got something for you. You thought I didn't know No, see assist. I gotta remember the every time that vegeto's up That is a warning not to do anything too risky. You got up. You got to buy your time against stuff like that I'll take another level three. I'll take another level three Big damage Oh, no, I why what is happening? Okay, not interested in playing right now. We'll have to get him to come out of his shell eventually though What's vegeto's playstyle gonna be like? Oh Decent bit of dragon balls. I don't even know if it's enough that we could potentially get it though Actually If we landed too straight up No, I shouldn't have risked it. I was throwing out lights. Maybe he'll drop it, but I don't think so I don't think it's in our cards this time. No, we're not going to see the drop. That is fine though We got a lot to clean up that hopefully will help us win the upcoming games. I hope anyway All right, we're gonna have to deal with broly. We're gonna have to clean up the play But broly might be the number one read broly might be the number one thing to look out for follow me Woo look in the follow Crouching light that was unfortunate. That was unfortunate. All right. We get another huge combo here to do a little bit of damage to ourselves Hey, I don't want to be in the corner. No, I didn't think the tech do I want to spark early again? That's the thing. Do I really do I want to save goku black? I don't know Is that my bet? I'm gonna do it dude might as well We got to save you can't think about you got to think of the goku's as one dude They're a working unit Oh, see already our looks turned around now that we've got the right mindset We might be unbeatable. I'm gonna save my bar. I'm saving my bar. I'm going for the combo too I regret it for what it's worth. I did regret it pretty quickly But let's go ahead and turn up the heat a little bit this time. We're not gonna save the bar One two three and let's you know what do I want that side? I think I want that corner back I'm not gonna do the level five it out of my face Goku blue will take That reflect was nice. All right goku black comes out already a little bit damaged Over here. I'll take that too. Why'd I go for the harder combo? I mean, it's fine I it's not like I had to get to the loop part But still that was an unnecessary risk and now we just got to deal with limit break Broly a super easy character to beat It's what I would say if any of that was true. I'm still in danger I couldn't block that the 2m is that slow reflect It's a matter of keeping him in bed. We got to force that spark though right Oh huge. I'm going for it, dude. I'm going for the combo yet again Oh, it's so hard to hit I really wish I hadn't learned that on the old controller Okay, um, you should be done here, right? Goku black should take this away. I think As long as we get full damage, it is going to be enough Broly never got to spark a dangerous game But we're able to take it in game two All right, feeling much better feeling much better about how that game went Obviously, I think we were in the driver's seat for a good portion of that mid game Now we just got to bring it home, dude. We just got to bring it home Whether or not that's going to be possible. I don't know it's thank you I love the stamp. All right This game is going to be the test though. Oh huge hit already. Maybe we bring Broly. That's a no That's a recipe for all maybe I do it anyway though. Maybe I bring Broly out Okay, we're gonna stay in with this guy. He's we're getting pretty lucky with this There's a spark we got spark early I'm feeling so good now Obviously, it's still going to be a struggle But Broly without spark should be less scary if we get to that part of the game Damage that's tough. That is tough. Oh, that's good. Oh, no, that was supposed to be me sparking by my No, my thumb my thumb was so I I was so excited that we blocked that that my left thumb was like I got to go back to blocking uh, and I try to jump and I also hit sparking button Resulting in an input coming out that input being level three I spark for no reason that was just that was just the memory of me wanting to spark coming through that Oh, no that okay. This is huge. This is not good super dash Just just try to make something happen here goku the og goku. He's the leader of the team I'm just gonna I'm just no that's not gonna reach is it kayoken? No CSS we're very careful about that now over here. Nice over here is going to make sure that we do get a kill Whoo. All right, even up the game actually. I forgot he already used spark Is anybody else sweating just me? Okay Just checking Behind you Couldn't tell if he was gonna super does you're not nice again. I probably shouldn't go with the double jab I went with the double jab again That was tough six bars. I definitely see him spending three of it here Yep, three bars being spent. That's fine as long as we get off the ground I'm gonna take a little bit of defensive footwork.  I was risking it all right there No lost the air to air Two bars one bar. All right.  We got to punish one of them Whoo, we needed that dude. We've been getting super dashed on overhead Low even though it's slow. I did it again. I regretted it by the way as soon as I did it all right Hey If we had a don't go on this could be a dramatic finish and an actual a really cool one too I don't know why a match fan is there That was risky I'm going back out in the blue coup Just because I like the beam assist and I want I think the loop. He does more damage up front anyway Oh, huge lag 10 frames. Oh, no behind the back. Let's go. No kick combo off of it. Oh, no Wait, what am I worried for? I was bored in 19 frames. Oh Let's go kill though mix-ups I will take it. It's a transmission All right, what do we got here though? mix-ups part two mix-ups the trilogy Return to the mix mix-ups the volume series mix-ups the box set Mix-ups the movie. Oh, no No, I never got to do mix-ups on ice. That was going to be my favorite live performance mix-ups on mix-ups on ice mix-ups on ice Nobody came to mix-ups on ice nobody cared about that show Nobody cared about the real mix-ups on ice come on Oh the random beam we talked about it was going to seal the deal I was not ready for that to end it But the all goku team walks away with another set win. That was a lot of fun Hopefully you enjoyed this team if you did definitely let me know some other recommended teams You have down below or just let me know your favorite moment from this video I'm that wire down there if you like these videos and want to see them keep coming out Make sure you hit that like button and subscribe to the channel You can also check out more of these videos that should be on your screen right now if they catch your eye Other than that, I've been Dr. Doia and I will see you in the next one


Good evening dear learners, I am Dr Satish Vishwam Bhullakade from Walchin Institute of Technology, Sholapur and I welcome you all for this session on personal interview. Tell me about yourself. In the previous two sessions that is personal interview, frequently asked questions FAQ part one and personal interview frequently asked questions FAQ part two we have discussed the frequently asked questions in personal interview. Now in this third session we will be discussing the question tell me about yourself in detail because this is a very important question in any personal interview because it is about yourself the learning outcome. At the end of this session students will understand how to answer the question tell me about yourself. This question is also asked in a different way that is introduce yourself. So whether it is tell me about yourself or introduce yourself it is a very important question and so we need to discuss this question in detail. Now pause this video for some time and try to answer this question which is the first question asked in any interview. Welcome back and this is the answer for the question. The very first question which is asked in any interview is tell me about yourself or introduce yourself. So this is the very first question which you have to answer in any interview. So as I said this is the very first question and the most frequently asked question in interview. You need to be very careful while answering this particular question because it is said first impression last impression. So you need to make a very good impression through this first question when you are answering it. Your response to this question is should be very effective and should really impress the interviewer. So your response will set the tone for the rest of the interview. As I said your answer to this particular question will set the tone for the rest of the interview rather the remaining questions or the rest of the interview would be definitely guided by this first question. So you need to consider these points what do interviewers want to know through this particular question and what information should be included. Now the secret to answer this particular question is like this. You need to plan then write your script and practice it. So as I said the best way to answer this very first question is you need to plan your answer then you need to write your script and then you need to practice it. So maybe once you have your script ready you can go for mock interviews and practice it. Now the first part you need to plan for this particular question. Now in the planning phase when in the planning phase you need to consider the following points. So you should begin with your name in full then you should include the city town or village you belong to then you can include your qualification. After that you can focus on your strengths maybe one or two strengths and you can also justify these strengths with real-life examples and you can also use the USP your USP that is unique selling proposition that is a quality of yours or a skill of yours which differentiates you from other candidates which makes you special so you can also use the USP. Apart from these points you can also talk about your hobbies. So hobbies are very important. You should definitely include your hobbies in this answer because this particular answer without hobbies would be incomplete because hobbies tell us that hobbies are a sign of a balanced personality and the next part is so there are situations where you might not have a hobby. So if not a hobby you can also talk about your interests. So either about your hobbies or your interests you need to talk about these things in the in this answer. Then you can include your short term goals and your long term goals and finally you can talk about your family background. Apart from these points if you have something very special about your career or a very big achievement you can definitely mention it here. Then the next phase is write your script. So you need to write your script once you plan after the planning phase you need to write your script. You should write your script because that will give you a clear-cut idea what points you're going to include and how you're going to say it. So include the points mentioned in the planning phase. The next part is practice. This is a very important phase because practicing your script will definitely give you a lot of confidence. As I said this is the very first question with which you start your interview. So if you rehearse it well, if you practice it well it can definitely make a very good impression. So do not take chances here and for that reason you need to practice it. Now for practicing this particular question you can take help of your friends, your trainer and you can do mock interviews. And I would definitely recommend this. You can also video shoot your mock interview and then afterwards you can play it and find out the areas of improvement. So this is how it should be done. So video recording your mock interview and playing it again and finding out the areas of improvement will definitely help you to perfect your script and your answer. Now the next point is you should not memorize it or else it will be stiff, rears and artificial. So you should take every care while you answer this particular question to see to it that the answer does not appear artificial or stiff and rearsed. So that is something very important here. Then you can talk about yourself naturally with a smile on your face. So this is something very important. When you answer this particular question you should be very relaxed and you should answer this question with a smile on your face. While answering this question you can also focus on your strengths. So give real time examples where you have used your strengths. It makes your answer convincing. Now there are certain dos and don'ts while answering this question. Tell me about yourself. So the first point, be true and genuine while you answer this question because it is about yourself. So you need to be true and genuine when you answer this question. Then only you will make a good impression. While answering this question you should be polite and confident. As far as the dress is concerned obviously you should go in formals. So you should be dressed neatly in formals and what is very important is, as I said earlier, keep that smile on the face. That will definitely add value to the interview. Now some don'ts. It is very important in a personal interview that you don't give any false information because this will lead to a very negative effect and this will be also a question on your integrity. So make it a point not to give any false information. One more thing is, certain students they try to be too casual. So being too casual or being too relaxed is something very negative and you should try and avoid it. And one more thing is, one more thing of caution is being overconfident. Being confident is good but being overconfident while answering certain question is very negative and that might not give a very good impression. So you should take care of these points. Next, you should definitely avoid going for the interview in informal outfit. That would definitely create a very negative and bad impression. So these are the points you really need to take care of. Now here is a moral answer for tell me about yourself. The answer. I am Vishal Prakhar Jain from Sholapur. I am pursuing B in mechanical engineering from Walton Institute of Technology Sholapur University. My strengths are adaptability and time management. My hobbies are cooking and cycling. Every Sunday I go for a 20 kilometer bicycle ride in the countryside which regenerates me a lot. My short term goal is to get a job in a reputed automobile company where I can learn and use my knowledge and skills for the growth of the company. My long term goal is to be the head of RNA department in an automobile company where I can produce innovative and cost effective products and solutions to make human life better. There are four members in my family. My father is a university professor and my mother is a school teacher. My younger sister is pursuing MBA and I have learned the value of integrity from my parents. So this was one model answer. Of course you can definitely make changes as per your requirement and your personality. So thank you so much. This was the reference for my work and I wish you all a very happy learning session. Thank you.

Can't you get any of that that music that they would use in either drag net or you know some You know bulletin from the 50s or something. Okay, I'll put that in Late-breaking news Donald Trump revealed highly classified intelligence information to Russia with us as Howard Klein Reporting to us from Los Angeles. How are you there? I'm doing okay. How about you? Actually, you're in Los Feliz Los Feliz is part of Los Angeles. It's just not part of Hollywood, right? I'm gonna play devil's advocate. I was Visiting my mother and my sister and we were having a nice Mother's Day, and they were going on and on about Trump and Just everybody. Yes, and just to keep the conversation going. I said so what I could just kept saying so what and This late-breaking news about highly classified intelligence Let me just play devil's advocate. We're just learning that Trump met with Sergei Lavrov the Russian Foreign Minister in the White House last week and He revealed highly classified intelligence about some ISIS plot Right. So not just I mean Lavrov which which according to the White House pictures that were released It was only Lavrov But when the Russians released the pictures, you notice there was this big fat guy who was even fatter than Trump And that turned out that was the spy master For the Kremlin for all of the Western Hemisphere and that is the ambassador to Washington Kiss Leop. I mean he he or whose name everyone has probably heard because he's the one that meant literally met with every Trump campaign Person that ever existed including Jared Kushner So he's the spy master for for the Kremlin for the Western Hemisphere He's the main guy and he was in this meeting too and Trump tried to hide that if you'll remember they didn't allow any Western journalists and they allowed Russian journalists in and The Russian journalists then released a picture of Trump with kids. Yeah Kiss life is the guy Flynn met with Everybody met with him right Flynn met with him As I said Christian in law met with him What's his name Carter Page met with him Manafort met with him Everybody met with him there. I mean it was almost like he was like telling Trump who he could and couldn't hire He's the head Russian spy for all of the Western Hemisphere and and Trump goes and tells him and Lavrov Very very very highly classified information which was described by the the reporter for the New York Post who broke the story as The kind of information that you need you need a secret code to even read the information that's how highly classified it is and Basically the reason for that was because it came from an American ally Who was not interested in Russia knowing that they were passing this information along for whatever reason it could be very serious reasons and By Trump revealing it He potentially put that ally in great danger and that is a complete no-no and what not allowed on any level at all Who is there and is who's the freak out everywhere among American intelligence services But also among foreign intelligence services to the point where the Israelis are now saying you know Trump is coming over there and they have to be careful of anything They say to him going back to the Russians and then on to the Iranians or some other enemy of Israel's because I'm trying to get in the mind of a Trump supporter and it's not that hard to get inside the mind of a Trump supporter since it's so empty I'm gonna say isn't Russia our ally Half the time in Syria isn't Russia our ally fighting ISIS no Russia has its own national interests and they are mostly divergent with American national interests they have some There are occasionally certainly not half the time and not or close to that they the interests of the two countries will Intersect but that that's rare and and and and certainly in Syria I would say that that isn't even like you know two percent of the time There the two countries are at odds with each other in Syria and in terms of fighting ISIS I from what I can see Russia It's all with Russia. It's all All talk and no action. I don't see them helping the United States fighting ISIS in any way shape or form So the answers you and okay my opinion. No, okay the news coming over the transom is that Trump Disclose something to the Russians that as you just said one of our allies had this information about an ISIS plot and He violated espionage etiquette by doing this Donald Trump did well. It's more than etiquette, but okay Are we overreacting isn't the entire intelligence community in the weeds waiting for the slightest mistake and Just pouncing on Trump. Yes I don't think this was a slight mistake though. This was this was a more major mistake than that You know, they what the fear is is that since he doesn't read his intelligent briefing And so so they give you know a normal president gets very detailed intelligence briefings He doesn't want them. He wants basically charts and pictures and like a couple of paragraphs He doesn't want big intelligence briefings and and he will he has made it clear that anything over one page will be thrown directly into the garbage so basically he gets these one page summaries that have to have a trot or a picture and then Kushner comes in and reads it to him and while he's playing on his computer his his iphone Whatever uses and and he's not paying attention and intelligence Officials are saying that he doesn't understand the difference between classified highly classified You know top secret. He doesn't understand these things and to him It's it's none of the stuff that they give him is any different from what he hears Sean had to be saying on Fox It's all the same to him and he just blabs it and runs his mouth as though it doesn't make any difference And there are no consequences and they're they're all freaking out about it And I don't think it's a little thing. I think it's a very big thing You think it's a big thing.  I happen to sometimes think America is not being threatened by anybody that we juice up the threats So the defense contractors can get all their money That's not untrue that what you're saying isn't untrue But the two things shouldn't negate each other and there are threats on one level or another to the United States and You know what just as an example I mean several adversaries of America including Russia have long advocated the international training community ditch the dollar and go to another currency Or another means of of of Selling up bills that would be You know course the United States Trillions of dollars So that so is that an adversary is that a is that a threat to the United States? Yes, and it's one of dozens and dozens of dozens that are different from You know nuclear bombs dropping on an American city Would you say that maybe we don't need to be worrying as much as They want us to about Isis and Al Qaeda and Russia that Russia Crimea notwithstanding that Russia is not as big a threat to our safety as Well, it is a threat, but I mean not necessarily a threat in terms of bombing us There's other kinds of threats like I just tried to yeah, but so if you have this crowd if I don't I don't even consider Crimea Personally, I don't consider Crimea like the kind of threat that it's been painted to be because in reality Crimea really was part of Russia not and they just sort of made a bureaucratic transfer to to make the Ukrainians happy at one point in the 90s 1960s or something and The people of Crimea from all I could tell Are just perfectly happy being part of Russia prefer and prefer it to being part of Ukraine four years from now is it conceivable that They installed a complete idiot Into the Oval Office Who nobody trusts? Therefore he can't lead us into war. He's an isolationist. He's so irresponsible the minute He tries to send troops somewhere Everybody McMaster Madis everybody. It's good. No, we're not going to war Did you read? Barbara Tuckman's classic book the guns of August I Skimmed it it was a little too hard for me to read but I know that Kennedy Handed that out to all his advisors It was it. It's a brilliant book and we're a very well Well worth reading it. It's not a complicated book or a difficult reader anything. It's very enjoyable as a matter of fact You might try it because you you know, you're in a state now where you probably Get more pleasure out of it than whenever you just skimmed it In any case, there was one of the major points of it was that these heads of government don't Try to start a war that that's not that's not what they that they don't set out to have a war They blunder into it with no with no intention of doing it and she's talking about World War one The most disastrous war in the history of mankind and and no one wanted that war No one thought it was gonna happen But just one boob after another just you know made foolish mistakes And that is more the kind of a threat that Trump would be in terms of a war than him plotting a war because you're right No one is gonna let Trump get away with Starting a war. He's not his people around him would stop that the real danger is because he's such an imbecile that he'll just you know stumble into one and People won't be around to to clean up his mess fast enough before something disastrous happens with you know North Korea or or Russia or China or or any or any kind of adversary And and that's that's a danger. I mean, you know Trump Is you know, there's a lot of scuttle butt that says that that Trump has kind of Accepted the fact that he's not really In the chain of command as long as he can make believe he is he doesn't have to really be part of the chain chain of command So that if that's really true, I mean, I I feel a little bit better about that But I don't feel great about it. I would rather have a you know, there's a reason that we have civilians running the military Yeah I'm just thinking yeah, I'm just thinking about God's joke I mean things are bad. There's no question and this is terrifying and We're on the precipice of fascism although.  They weren't that bright and it has a lot to do not just with them But also with people around them and Trump does have very dangerous people around him Although, you know, there's all sorts of rumors that he's gonna fire Bannon But Bannon is certainly capable of Leading the country into a state of fascism, which I'm sure is his is what he wants to do Going back to Russia Mother's Day, I asked my sister asked my mother Yes, it's bad. But what did Russia do that's so wrong? They they hacked The DNC and they released some files and embarrassed Hillary. Is that Really that bad and out of you know, they was only the tip of the iceberg. They did a lot more than that Well, they colluded maybe with Trump's campaign to do Opposition research. Is that a possibility? Is that how I mean, I think that they spent many millions of dollars on setting up operations to To deceive Low IQ American voters with all of this fake news through, you know hundreds of thousands of of fake Twitter accounts and websites and then news news reporting Operations that don't exist and they and they and you know, that doesn't work On people with three-digit IQs not that that means someone is brilliant But you know when you look at the Trump voters, just look at them talk to one I mean it works on them, right? So whose fault is that that's more our fault than it is Russia's Well, it may be I mean, you know getting rid of civics classes from I mean when I was a kid We had civic classes. They don't anymore You know and and downgrading Downgrading education. I mean, you know the Republicans at every opportunity They do everything they can to downgrade education because they know very well that Their party depends on a poorly educated electorate that has no capacity for critical thinking if Putin gave money to some of the candidates That would be obviously Illegal about using the money on behalf of some of the candidates. I Mean, you know in France where he could get away with giving money I don't I guess there's no law against it. They gave I think a 10 10 million dollars to lipend in this country Theoretically you can't do that although there are ways to launder money to candidates Which apparently has happened and that's part of an investigation. That's why we need a nonpartisan Independent investigation that can't be controlled by Paul Ryan or by Mitch McConnell or by the Justice Department It's got to be an independent investigation and one of the things that everyone is trying to get to is Trump is Trump's business dealings with the Russians, you know a member of Congress last night called me and was telling me that the way he thinks from what He's read that they did it Was by overpaying on real estate So in other words if a piece of real estate is worth two million dollars and they give 20 million dollars That's a way to funnel money into Trump And and he said that that's but that has happened many many times Right in Florida. There was a mansion that Trump that's one that was that was one he was This guy was talking specifically about New York real estate. Hmm We'll go back to shredding the safety net. I know you brought up the giving money.  What's the difference between impeached and gone? Well, he's not going to get okay. He's not going to get impeached It's going to get gone. I don't think he's going to get gone. I think they're going to keep him Isn't he servicing the people who put him there by creating this clown show? They certainly not going to get impeached while the Republicans are in control of Congress. That's for sure So if there's any kind of impeachment, we're talking about You know after the after you know 2019 After the elect in the midterms other than the fact that you despise Trump how bad is this? Is it truly a constitutional crisis or do we just hate him? You know so much that we're creating things to get upset about well Can you accept that the two things can exist at the same time? Yeah You know, I would say that that's probably the case If he gets caught, what do you think it's going to be the money the Russian money following that money? Yes That is what I think okay speaking of money We have a budget that's being negotiated and you write that they're going to be shredding the social safety net Is there even a social safety net left to shred? It's not much left, but there is some left so remember Trump plans on on massive tax cuts for the for the very wealthy like really massive just as an example getting rid of the estate tax for you know the estate tax If you're if you leave if you die and you have six million dollars The tax the federal taxes on that is zero nothing nothing But if you have six billion dollars then there's some real taxes on that they're getting they want to get rid of that That's a big deal So so so how do you fill in the gaps in the budget which the Republicans in Congress are insisting on Trump? Of course doesn't care as far as he's concerned He he would run up, you know the most red ink in the history of the universe He doesn't matter to him, but the Republicans feel that they can't do that They say if you're going to You know they'll do it to some extent, but they don't want to do it to the kind of extent that Trump wants So aside from the cutting taxes for the rich which he plans to do in a very major way and cutting corporate taxes He also plans to so in other words reducing revenues. He also plans to spend giant amounts of money You know on the military He he really wants to build up the military in a very big way Even though the military the American military is bigger than the next six countries combined Who cares he still wants to build it up and he wants to build that silly wall which is You know estimates range certainly the average is around a trillion dollars Although it could even be much more than a trillion dollars to build the wall and to put that into the budget I'm sorry. Do you say it's a trillion dollars to the wall? Sorry, you said it's a trillion dollars to build the wall Well, the average is it could be much more. I mean some people say it's three trillion dollars Some people say it's more like, you know a hundred billion dollars So, you know you I don't know what it's gonna cost But but I'm just saying the average is around a trillion dollars. Okay, or I actually I think I read the average was one point three trillion dollars Jesus You know no one knows exactly what the wall is going to be and where it's gonna go And is it going to cover this area or they're gonna leave it out or they're gonna leave that area out I mean so people don't know for sure, but you know they did an estimate based on you know per I don't know if it was per it wasn't per mile. It was a smaller amount of Per it was smaller than a mile and it was some it was it was atrocious The millions of dollars just for it. I mean it and and well forget about the fact that it's ineffective But you know the point is that they think I spend a lot of money on foolish things and and they the Republicans have agreed now That they are going to put these things into the budget They're angry that the Democrats made fun of them for signing the The continuing resolution that didn't include any of Trump's priorities. So now they're gonna include all of Trump's priorities So the question then comes where do they get the money for this stuff and since Trump has Said he does well, but what he said is that he would have no cuts to Social Security no cuts to Medicare and no cuts to Medicaid. They've already cut 880 billion dollars out of Medicaid over 10 years so But he's apparently holding firm on no cuts to Social Security and Medicare at least for now So then you say to yourself where do you get the money? Where is he gonna get the money to pay for the silly wall for the arms build up and for the other priorities that he wants and The answer to that question is there is no place else to get it from except for cutting spending for poor people Social safety net as you refer to it that and that's that's what the Republicans are up to now So I did a post about it this morning That includes some interesting reactions from a guy You know labor union activists in Paul Ryan's district who's likely to run against Paul Ryan a guy named Randy Bryce He's likely to be the Democratic candidate against Ryan now the D triple C the Democratic Congressional campaign committee doesn't want to run anybody against Paul Ryan. They've never have they've never run anybody they've sabotaged every Democrat who's tried to run against Paul Ryan and They are very very nervous now because this guy is a grassroots kind of hero He's when you think about Paul Ryan's district it went it went for Clinton I mean it went for Trump against Clinton and and Randy Bryce is like the exact opposite of Clinton Every every reason that anyone in that district had to vote against Hillary Clinton Will make them embrace Randy Bryce. This is a an iron worker with a huge handlebar mustache and You know he's a he's the kind of guy that you meet in the bar having a drink and then he goes home to his wife and kids a Great guy and he's gonna take on Ryan now and the D triple C is flipping out over it But anyway, he was one of the people when you say flipping at we say flipping out there. They're angry that he They don't want someone running against Ryan. It's it's a it's against their policy. They they oppose people running against Paul Ryan their perspective is it's gonna take a lot of energy and we're not gonna win anyway and They don't want the resources going in that direction And they don't want people to have false hopes that we could beat Ryan when we can't the fact of the matter is Is they're going after much more difficult districts than Paul Ryan's district Paul Ryan I mean Obama won Paul Ryan's district in his first run. He beat him. He beat McCain there. I'm not saying it's easy race It's not it's a hard race, but if you don't do it and you don't try you never find out And that's and you know now, you know, Hillary won all these districts In Texas that the D triple C has never ever tried to win now They're trying to win all of them, but it's the first time they've even worked in these districts So you don't win the first time. So, you know, you know, if you try One time and you don't win you learn how to do it better the next time then you could try it again the next time But it has to be a first time and and the D triple C doesn't believe in first times Do you think Pelosi cut a deal with Ryan over something and said, okay, if you give me this We won't run anybody against you It was long before Ryan when they wouldn't run anybody against John Boehner They sabotage every candidate who tried to run against John Boehner. I mean we we at Blue America We work very closely with this guy again a labor union Activists named Justin Cossouli and Justin ran a great campaign But the D triple C did everything they could to sabotage him over and over and over again And they do that with Republican leaders. They all Republican leaders They always try to protect them and it's the darndest thing because the Republicans don't return the favor True, they don't go after after Pelosi, but you know, I mean look What do you think the percentage was that Trump got in Pelosi's district? I mean, I'm just want to show you how blue that district is Well, I know it's in Francisco. It's I think that seven percent. Wow That's how that that was what Trump's total wasn't in San Francisco seven percent. So, you know So we don't really need the Republicans not to pursue Nancy Pelosi Paul Ryan is in a 50-50 district Pelosi is in a 90-10 district They don't go after Steny Hoyer, but he's in a completely blue district. So I don't know what the deal is I don't I don't know why they're I don't know why there is a deal And certainly the Democrats don't go after Republican committee leaders, but the Republicans I mean the Democrats don't go after Republican committee chairman But the Republicans go after Democratic committee chairman and occasionally defeat them So so if there is a deal the Democrats are getting a very very poor end of that deal Healthcare They're saying now that it's going to get killed in the Senate But a month ago no one is really saying it's going to get killed They're just saying that they're hoping that the Senate is going to change it and make it less unpalatable and You know, but the question then becomes if they send something back that's less unpalatable Will the freedom caucus then say no, we won't vote for it I mean how unpalatable can they make it before they lose freedom caucus? So for example to two senators? At least two two Republican senators have said they're not going to vote for a Bill that defunds Planned Parenthood So both Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska Susan Collins from Maine They both say if that's in there, they're not going to vote for it. Okay Well, let's say they're being honest and they're not going to what happens then because if that bill goes back if the health care bill goes back to the house with a With with that taken out with that provision to defund Planned Parenthood out then then the freedom caucus has already said they're not going to vote for it So so that so that is something that I don't I don't know how it gets worked out I don't know how that can can happen But you know, there are a lot of Republicans that are determined to make it happen somehow. I don't know how Before you go, what are the races we should be watching? Well, there are there are two races coming up very very quickly in the next couple of weeks First of all, there is the Montana at-large House seat Because Ryan Zinke the congressman from Montana was named as a Trump's interior secretary so his seat is open and That is people think well Montana is so red. Well, it's not really so red Yes, Trump did very very well against Hillary Clinton But Hillary Clinton is exactly the wrong kind of candidate for Montana if you had to say, you know Create a candidate that will have no chance in Montana whatsoever. You create Hillary Clinton That's that's what that's that the Democrats couldn't advance for someone better than her But on that same day that Trump Flooded her in Montana the Democratic governor beat the guy who's running for Congress right now in that district. He won Bernie Sanders did really well in Montana. He of course he beat Clinton by a lot And I think he'd be Clinton in almost every county if she wanted a couple but but but Bernie really cleaned her clock so the candidate who's running now for the Democrats of this guy named Rob Quist who is a you know a kind of a I don't want to say a folk singer, but he's a folksy really well-known singer a professional and he's gone to every little town in in in that state and Been playing for years and years and years. He's really well liked and really well known and he's he's a Democratic candidate and Bernie is going to be Born storming the state with him on this coming Saturday and Sunday So we'll see he's been right right rising in the polls. He's still behind the Republican They're spending God awful amount of money the D triple C doesn't want to spend money in there But they've been they've been forced into spending a little and then the other race in June That's really really important is them is the one in Georgia Georgia 6 to replace Tom Price who's now the secretary of health and human services and that that pits John Ossoff kind of a you know kind of a moderate to liberal Democrat Against a far-right Republican Trump shill named Karen Handel just a complete point of Trump's and The polling shows them neck and neck. I mean the newest poll that came out yesterday had him leading her by two points Is Trump gonna drag them down because Trump is at record level The idea is yes. I mean I mean yeah, I mean that Trump will Trump drag them down So maybe he but he went to Atlanta She she refused to allow herself to be photographed with him So there are no pictures anywhere of Handel and Trump But Paul Ryan went also and he's there again this week and there were pictures of her with him and and remember Paul Ryan is very very toxic right now You know all the polling is showing that Paul Ryan is one of the most hated politicians in America His his approval rating is is in the gutter and no one likes him. In fact in his own district. I didn't mention this They there was a poll that came out by PP P That showed that 51% of the people in the district think they would not vote for him again And only 44% of the people in the district say he deserves another term So and that's his own district where they know him and kind of like him But around the rest of the country they might not know that much about him but they do know that he wrote the health care bill or that it's his bill basically the Trump care certainly wasn't written by Trump it was under the direction of Paul Ryan and You're depending on which poll you read that Trump care is is liked by either 17% of the people or 23% of the people but You know 23% of the people the high number is pretty bad and that's what people know about Trump care So or about Paul Ryan and he's he's in Karen handles district campaigning with her I don't think that's gonna help her. I mean it helps with donors. They love Paul Ryan, but I don't think it helps with human beings Great how he Klein is the founder and treasurer of the Blue America pack and he writes the down with tyranny blog Thank you, sir Thank you. Talk to you next week. Okay. Thank you. Great job. Thank you so much. Bye. Bye
