We're on to basketball for a bit


OK, hi. Good afternoon. The next talk is coming back to Chick-Saw a little bit. We have seen the talk by Mark Reinhold in the morning. And this is somehow not going directly on how to implement something with Chick-Saw. It's going more on if you have a current project and you wanted that it also runs fine with Java 9 and Chick-Saw because there are always problems if you like your importing external libraries and all that stuff, and suddenly something breaks. And I'm originally from the Apache Lucene project, and we did Java 9 testing, including Chick-Saw. So since the early beginning, when the first release was out, the first preview release. So we know what you need to change at that time and how you should not write your code. Because if you do that, it would break with the module system. So this talk will not be something like how to convert your current project to a module. It's more how to make it work with the module system and everything around. Of course, Lucene will at some point also be available as a module, but currently it's on Java 8. So we have not yet any plans to change that maybe with version 8, which would be next year at some point. We might change to that. OK, so what changed with Chick-Saw? So the biggest problem for already existing code is that the module system changed the runtime in a way that you cannot simply access any API which was previously available in the runtime, private APIs, public APIs, where you want to access special private members, and all that stuff. So it's very restricted. So your code only sees classes from packages that are exported to your code. If you have a legacy project which is running using the class path, this is a so-called unnamed module. And there are some restrictions on what the unnamed module can see. And the second thing is, which is a recent change in Chick-Saw, which came with 148, that also in public APIs, it's no longer possible, for example, to make a private member of any runtime class like looking at the byte array behind a string. It's no longer possible without some additional exceptions that are thrown, or you have to pass command line parameters to disable those checks. So if you have code, for most of the case, it looks like you were running your code with a security manager where everything is disallowed, that has to do with making classes available or loading classes and all that stuff. So this is somehow, it's not in reality, it's not like that, but it looks like that. So the first thing is in our compile time problems, which a lot of very legacy and old projects know, you have something like Java code, which was using SunMISC APIs. One famous example is SunMISC Base64 encoder and decoder. Of course, SunMISC Unsafe is also here, but from other projects I know there's also come some Java FX, where a lot of private APIs are used by a lot of projects out there. So if you compile code that directly references in the source code, not by a reflection, something like you're having an import on SunMISC Base64 encoder, decoder, then it will throw, it depends, it could be a class not found exception of course, but it could also cause an illegal access error. So for example, there's one bad example, makes no sense at all, it was just something I tested. So if you use that SunSecurity sassel, I don't know what it is at all, provider, which is restricted, you can compile that code with Java 6 and Java 7, but if you run it with Java 9, you get this exception, illegal access exception, class test one in unnamed module, which is our class pass, cannot access this class in the module Java security, because the module doesn't export. So this breaks. To figure out what's wrong here is relatively easy, because you can scan your code with a JDEPS tool, which is available since Java 8, there's also Maven plugin available for it, and this makes it relatively easy because you immediately see what's wrong. The second possibility that also works with older JVM, a Java version, is the forbidden API splug. In both tools have a little bit different background. The first one is more for figuring out dependencies, and the second one is to disallow your bytecode to execute specific methods, but for that use case, both do the same, and for the second one you have this JDK non-portable switch, which means it disallows you to access any class name that is part of the Java runtime and is not in one of the public modules somehow. This also is available as a Maven, Gradle, and Unplug in and works since Java 6. So here it's a little bit slow, but here's an example, the buff code using the provider, it throws a warning already, but most people, especially if you have some imported external char dependency, they compiled it at some point, published it on Maven central, ignored that warning that came here and then you use it in your own project, and because of that it breaks. So you can check this class with the JDEPS, it returns you that it uses the internal API, but the same happens if you use the other tool. So those are two possibilities to figure that out if it's in the static in your compiled code. The problem with that approach is it won't help if reflection was used, which is the case for most tags. So what about reflection? Yeah, so clever people use reflection to access those private and internal Java APIs, of course, because the JDEPS 2 says you should not use that, so maybe we do that somehow with reflection and try to do it, and if it doesn't work, we don't do it. Good idea, works in most cases. The pro is that you have no compile time dependency to any Oracle HADK, so you can access some misgun save and it works, but sometimes you also need to access private methods or fields in that case so you need to also access private members of those classes. So that's the problem with reflection hacks. The first one could be that you get a class not found error when you try to load the class in your reflection code, and the second one is something that you are not allowed to make something visible in that class. So the problem with downside is that static analysis won't help for that because you wouldn't find any direct references to private APIs. And much worse, what we have seen on a lot of projects on Maven Central when trying to import them is that they have some reflection stuff that works, but it only works with Oracle as soon as you have another JDK, or if you're using it if it's Java 9, it completely breaks because the code is somehow broken. So the first thing is, which is really horrible, is something like huge amount of libraries is calling Z accessible on every Java class out there. So for example, scripting languages like Ruby are doing that by default for some reasons, but it's really horrible because in a lot of libraries they are doing that. And the problem is it's not always done correct, and because in that case they also miss to do something like access controller to privilege when doing that. This has nothing to do with Java 9, but it's still something which you will see would be helpful in the next case. So because people forget to do something like a correct try catch, so the most horrible thing is a static initializer of a class that just does an E print stack to A's when a reflection error happens, and then a little bit later you get a null point exception because some variable was not initialized or something like that, or they wrap it in a runtime exception and do nothing anymore. The problem with that is in static initializers is if there's no alternative solution, the static initializer breaks, and whenever you try to access a class afterwards, you get a no class that found error. You get it forever. And the problem is there's a static analyzer throws an exception that it cannot recover from, and we have seen that in libraries for accessing Hadoop from Amazon, we have seen stuff like that in Apache, POI, and a lot of libraries, it's done like that. So the second thing I wanted to talk about was the set accessible part because in early Chicksor versions, you were still able to do more stuff than you can now since build 148. So there was a problem because, for example, you have the public class Java lang string in your runtime, and this one is exported to the unnamed module or any other module. But still, this user code, because it's accessible, you can see it, would be able to make, for example, the char array or the byte array behind the string visible by calling set accessible on the field of the byte code, of the byte or the char array. And to prevent that, in build 148, this was switched off. So if you want to do that, you have to explicitly export somehow the reflective access to the outside. And of course, for almost all public APIs in the Java runtime, this is not allowed. So with build 148, it's no longer possible to access the byte array or char array behind the string. So what does no longer work as a conclusion? So class for name on any class from non-exported packages does not work since the beginning. The second thing is accessible, objects that accessible to does not work anymore in any public runtime class. There are some exceptions on that, like, for example, SanMisq Anzei, because to get the SanMisq Anzei, if you need to make the field array level, and that's explicitly allowed in the module definition of the Java, I think it's a JDK unsupported module or something like that. So you can still do that on various classes. So the problem with that is there is no tool detect those types of reflexes access to private APIs. The only thing you can currently do is, for example, use the previously mentioned forbidden APIs plug-in and simply this allow to call this method anywhere in your Java code or in libraries. But of course, this also breaks your own code if you have something like tests doing, making something, some private fields accessible. So, but it's not the best solution. So, but there are some solutions that you can do which works quite good. It works not perfect. So run your tests with an enabled security manager because by default all access to those classes which are private or not public is this allowed by the security manager. So this is, for example, what Apache Lucene, Apache Zola and Elasticsearch is doing. All the test suite is running in a security manager. Of course, we have to open some access to maybe reach system properties and all that stuff but you should not allow something like accessing SunMisk classes because this is prevented by the security manager by default. So the exceptions you get are not the same but it helps you during the runtime to figure out if some of your bundled or dependencies doing some crazy stuff inside. Now, finally, there are some important patterns how you should write your code. So one thing is, the first thing is if you do some hacks like that, if you really need un-save and do something with it to make something accessible or anything, anyhow, please add a fallback for that. Don't just fail in your static initializer. So in most cases, there's a fallback available. Maybe it's a small slowdown caused by that because you cannot directly access that perfectly fitting internal feature or you cannot work around the bug but please don't do that. And the second thing is, which especially affects the set accessible is catch security exceptions. You should always do that when doing reflection but also catch runtime exception. Why runtime exception? This is a little bit special because the set accessible call throws inaccessible object exception when you try to make such internal classes accessible with set accessible. The problem is inaccessible object exception is a new one in Java 9. So if you have a project with Java 7, Java 8, you cannot catch that in your code so you have to do something like the parent class like runtime exception and then do some string checks. I know, for example, Groovy is doing that when they are trying to access all the private members of classes. So they catch runtime exception and then do a comparison on the class name. It would be much better if it would be a security exception because most code would hit that but unfortunately security exception does not fit the use case here. There was a longer discussion on the mailing list on the OpenJDK mailing list about that so you have to live with that. And the other thing, as I said before, don't fail in your static initializers. So if you have something like that, save your error details while you are trying to initialize the private API hacks like accessing unsafe. Of course, use access controller to privilege because especially in static initializers, they can be called from anywhere in the code so suddenly some class is accessing that class and loads that class so the static initializer is running and because of that, if you have a security policy you cannot simply forbid anything because it would also affect your own code. So by using two privilege, you're making that local to your class because then you can have a security policy for example to forbid that. And if a consumer then is later using your library that calls any of these internal features and for some reason you cannot initialize that at that point somehow replay the original error message you got when you try to make the private APIs accessible so something that unsupported operation exception or something like that. Another thing that's very useful when creating code that is hacking around unsafe and all that stuff is not to use poor reflection for it but instead to use method handles. There's not really a difference between those two when doing that but when you create a method handle it is like Java C is compiling it and type checking the whole thing at the time when you create the method handle not when you're calling it. So once you have the method handle you know 100% that it works. Of course there could be something behind the scenes that would not work but you know that all the types you're having your unsupported API are 100% correct and you can also do something like programming logic with SCART with test and all that thing and when you finally call your hack you will not get any linkage errors. Here's some example which is quite famous because it also broke with 148 builds is Apache Lucene's map bike buffer unmapping. So this is also used by other projects and this is a long ongoing story that's an issue from 2005 I think Mark. Yeah, about that it's a memory mapping. So if your memory map some files or if you have direct buffers which are off heap you have to wait for the garbage collector until they are unmapped. And to work around that a lot of projects which really need back the resources are forcefully unmapping that stuff and there were some tricks about that. The issues here is for example the migration to Java 9 is in this Lucene issue and this is the really old bug on the OpenJDK bug tracker but as I heard with Java 10, 10 there might be a solution now. Let's talk this evening maybe on the dinner about it. Yeah, I know Andrew. He already finished it? No. Okay, yeah, yeah. So it's a little bit small. So here's the example for example of the original code of the unmapping. So basically this is using as I said before methods handles maybe it's a little bit small. It's using method handles. So basically you need to previously in Java 7, Java 8, until Java 1 you need to access some method which is called cleaner in Java Neo Direct Byte Buffer which is a package private class. Make it accessible at that point. And as you see it's a public API. It's in a public package Java Neo. And if you do that, it's the newest Java 9. This will fail with inaccessible object exception. And then it's doing something. It's compiling something like an unmapper for that. It calls the cleaner. It checks if it's non-null. And if it's non-null, it calls the cleaner. Otherwise it does nothing. And this is then done as a method handle. So it's something compiled before. Though you don't go through the reflection root and do it one step after each other. So you have something at the end. You have a method handle that does the unmapping. And of course with Java 9, this need to be changed a little bit. So they added, this is one seldom reason. They added a new method to some un-save to invoke the cleaner just for that. Because un-save is still available in Java 9, at least until Java 10. And then you can still call that. You get something like the same method handle. And at the end, here you see parts of the error handling. You see here it catches security exception. And if it gets a reflective operation exception or a runtime exception, then it does the Java 8 stuff. So this is how it initializes. And in all other cases, if it doesn't work at all, then it saves some error message which is then returned to the user if you try to enable the unmapping in the Lucene code. Yeah, that was it, I think. One question or no? OK. So how many libraries did you touch? How many problems did you handle to modify? So there are a lot of libraries I only know from Apache, Lucene, Zola, and Elasticsearch. So Lucene does not use so many external libraries. Zola is using some 100 libraries. Everything that had to do with Hadoop does not work with Java 9 at the moment. As far as I know, there was also Apache POI, which has another pack which was trying to figure out the version number in a static initializer. And it searched for the first period, which of course broke because the new version number only starts with 9 and nothing else. So there is something. And for example, in Elasticsearch, also Amazon libraries for accessing easy 2 and all this stuff. So there were a lot of stuff around that. And the other stuff is, of course, Groovy as a scripting engine. So Gradle did not work anymore with the recent Java 9 versions because of such issues. So what's that something working? Yes, it was something working. Lucene was working. No, no, it's working. I think Maven also had some minimal problems, but they are currently fixing. But it looks like some of those build tools aren't, interestingly, is working. Only Maven and Gradle do not work. But the original aren't, doesn't have any problems with Java 9. Maybe it's because the JDK builds itself with aren't or parts of it. Yeah, no, that was just a joke. But they are fixing it.  Otherwise, it might be possible that you cannot run. So Gradle 2.3 don't even try. OK.


So my name is Justin, this is Angeline, we're going to talk about so we are trainers of Jumpstart, I'm going to talk about the Jumpstart program and the curriculum and what we do basically in Jumpstart. Once those guys are ready then we will start proper. Okay and then I have to remember to do this. Yeah so the Jumpstarters, when you use this thing if you need to type then you need to sort of like clip it on and then type. Yeah, otherwise the video doesn't capture your voice. Okay, not okay, not okay. Soon, technical difficulties, as usual. When in doubt, restart. Okay, so let's talk about Jumpstart in a nutshell. So Jumpstart is a program, it's a 12-week program. The target audience for the for the Jumpstart program is fresh grads, career switches and even junior developers trying to level up their skills. So that's our target audience and in Jumpstart we believe heavily in hands-on learning. So throughout the 12 weeks you have you build a lot of different projects as you're learning different technologies and they include front-end, back-end web applications as well as you work in a group or you work in a team to build a full-stack web application. Right, that's the nutshell. So in the curriculum-wise, big overview, on the front-end you have React, on the back-end you have Node and Express. You've got your databases as well like MongoDB and Postgres so that's a that's an overview and a bit more in detail. So you've got your fundamentals such as Git, like version control on the front-end. I said React and then you have a basic HTML CSS. On the back-end we look at databases and how to build RESTful APIs and then we also talk about application security and then we have software engineering practices like test-driven development, refactoring, clean code that sort of thing. Agile practices so we look at continuous integration, test automation, pair programming that sort of thing.  Right, so this is what you covered, right? So Angeline will now talk about what we learn at jump-start. Hi everyone, I'm Angeline and I'm going to talk a bit of what we do day-to-day in jump-start so that you can understand a bit more of what we conduct in class. So the first activity is that we will have daily classroom sessions which will cover the theory as well as hands-on lab for students to practice on what we have taught them because for coding hands-on is very important. And in this course we will build or rather the students will build and showcase two individual projects as well as one main group project where they will learn Agile collaboration. Students will learn by sharing by doing the labs and then presenting their answers to the class. They will also learn by helping each other because this is a culture that we promote in jump-start. We also have frequent feedback sessions where students can give feedback to each other and help them to identify areas to improve on. And jump-start is not just all work and no play as you can see from the photo proof that students do make use of the ping-pong table that's in the office and they also sometimes have a board games night where they just socialize with each other. In jump-start we also invite guest speakers. Guest speakers could be from the industry or they could be internally from thought-works to talk about various topics like security as well as like UX design. And right at the end of the course we also provide career advice as well as mock interview trainings so that candidates are well prepared before they start their job hunt. Okay so next I would like to cover about how jump-start is different from other programming boot camps that you may see in Singapore. So one of our main focus and selling point is that we fully support pair programming as well as test-driven development which are software best practices where students will learn throughout the course. Next we will also teach the exact same agile process which we use in projects in thought-works and we will teach this process to the students so that they'll be able to have agile experience. And lastly while in the three-week group project right at the end, trainers will work together with students in an agile team building project. So at this point we also provide mentorship to the students. Okay next we'll have Justin to talk about the admin details. Cool so on to the more boring stuff let's look at this. So the upcoming batch the next batch will be 21st May it's fully subscribed so if you're interested in enrolling you'll have to wait for the September batch application is open it'll start either late August or early September applications on that link over there. Okay so let's talk more about the course fees. So we have this thing called TIPP grant which we'll talk more about in a minute. So if you're a Singaporean and if you're eligible for this grant you pay $1,000 plus seven percent GST and if you are not eligible for the grant and if you are Singaporean or PR you pay $8,000 and then for everyone else outside of that category it's $16,000. All of it is subject to IMDAs and ThoughtWorks approval of course. For the last one for the last segment here ThoughtWorks may also provide a subsidy to candidates who demonstrate high potential so that's something to note. So it's not necessarily that you you will have to pay the $16,000. Okay so TIPP grant so what does that stand for? That's just an acronym. It stands for Tech Immersion and Placement Program. Essentially it's a government grant focused on upskilling citizens right to meet the increasing demand for software developers. I guess it's part of the smart nation drive right. So it's open to Singapore citizens and it's handled by IMDA so they are the ones who are the approving body. Trainees after the program they're expected to work in a tech role within six months of completion of the program. So that's the criteria for them if they do intend to accept the TIPP grant. Right so who should apply for jumpstart? So our ideal candidate is someone who has a passion for technology and software development so you need to have that sort of passion in the first place. Ideally you should have learned some HTML some CSS some basic programming. It doesn't have to be JavaScript. We teach JavaScript in the program but it doesn't have to be JavaScript so as long as you know some basic programming basics like for loops and if else statements things like that. So that's our ideal candidate. So let's say you're interested to join what's the process like? So the process looks like this. You submit an application at the URL that you see. We give you a phone call and there's a phone interview. After that we have a three hour online coding challenge. So that's it's a test online. After you complete that test we look at the grades and then we look at the application itself. We look at each and every applicant and we review that with IMDA. We review that with ThoughtWorks and then we offer and you can then sign an enrollment agreement. Right so that's the process. That's that. That is Jumpstart in a nutshell. Cool. So we are done. So the recording. Okay so for anyone who's interested to join Jumpstart in the next next batch please do look for me Angelin or Justin later in the networking after the talks. Okay so okay now come the moment we have been waiting for which is the interesting part of it. Can you put your hands together to welcome Nicole and Sabrina which will give a tech talk on testing with mocks in Jess. Okay thank you.


Singapore has secured the exclusive rights to host Taylor Swift's concerts in Southeast Asia, which is making Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia kind of pissed off. Hey, why so mad? It's just Taylor Swift. It's not talking about nuclear bombs, okay? But people are taking this very serious right now. Taylor Swift almost has the impact of a nuclear bomb in a different way. Listen, guys, the prime minister of Singapore just had to come out and say, hey, this was not a hostile act towards our neighbours. I don't know what to tell you guys. This is just business. Let's run the clip. Well, Taylor Swift is performing in Singapore. We negotiated our agencies, negotiated an arrangement with her to come to Singapore and perform, and to make Singapore her only stop in Southeast Asia. And there was a certain incentives provided to her from our Tourism Development Fund, really is a post-COVID fund, to revive tourism after COVID. And a deal was reached to get an outcome, which is mutually beneficial, and which from Singapore's point of view serves not just to grow the economy, but also to bring in visitors and goodwill from all over the region. I don't see why not. So basically, David, what's going on is that Taylor Swift is performing in Southeast Asia, but her only stop is Singapore. Right. She's going to do six shows in Singapore. The Singapore government gave her a grant 3 million on top of whatever she's going to make extra. So an extra 18 million dollars. And basically it was like, yo, you don't have to go anywhere else in Southeast Asia. Give us the exclusive rights. Right. But she has a ton of fans in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, obviously she has fans all over the world. She'd probably sell out in any stadium in any of those countries, but she's only performing in Singapore, meaning that everyone else, all the Swifties from other countries have to go to Singapore. Right. But it is true that Singapore has, in recent decades, had that status in Southeast Asia. They're going to hold all the conferences there, the economic forums in Singapore as well. Here's the thing, Andrew. In East Asia, she's only performing in Tokyo, well in Japan in general. All over Japan. Right. So basically she's only in Japan in Singapore. Those are the two countries with the respective highest GDPs per capita in the region. Right. Right. Right. So anyways, guys, we're going to get into it. There is some controversy, but I don't know. Maybe we'll try to make sense of it all. So please hit that like button. Check out other episodes of the Hop Hop Boys. I had no idea Taylor Swift was going to cause geopolitical risks. To be honest, I'm not saying I didn't know she was huge. This is on a whole nother level. When she goes to a city, even in America, she changes the vibe for that weekend. No. All police are on call. Yeah. Like they all get called in to manage the city. Exactly. Exactly. Like it's an insanely huge event. It is a record-breaking tour. She's doing crazy numbers. I think the most profitable tour of all time of any artists. And yeah, it's just like, it means a lot because basically what's going to happen if she holds it in a country is that that country is going to make more money and it's going to stimulate a whole bunch of movement in the country, a lot of hotels, a lot of restaurants, just a lot of like transportation and things like that. But it's like hosting the Super Bowl. Yeah. It's like hosting the Olympics like for a weekend, essentially. But it's kind of, but that means it's a lot to handle. And I think the argument is that people are saying is that Singapore has all the systems, the infrastructure, the security, the cleanliness, and the money to give her extra. Singapore is kind of like the Japan of Southeast Asia. And Japan is just the Japan of the world. Right. No. Let's be honest. I'm going to keep it real. I've been around to a lot of different countries. Very few countries run as on point as Japan in Singapore. Yeah. I mean, listen, there's beautiful parts of Indonesia and the Philippines and Malaysia. We've all visited that.  Let's get into the comments section said, somebody said, I don't see anything wrong with it. They're just being competitive in the interests of their own country. And somebody else can't say, huh? What? You want to be greedy? Huh? Greedy Singapore? Yeah. So I guess they're calling Singapore greedy because Singapore, because they're imagining that Singapore is like, you know what, we got to take Taylor Swift from everywhere else and she can only perform here. That's it. Yeah. All the richest people from your country are going to have to come to us. Yeah. I do think it's a money thing. And obviously, Taylor Swift, she doesn't go on, she didn't go on tour for like charity, all right? So she needs, she's going to make money. But I think that it is a, to be honest, like a safety concern in other countries. Well, yeah, I mean, you have to make sure that the safety, the security, the movement, the transportation can all be sustained without a traffic jam.  So just from a traffic standpoint, I can imagine that if Taylor Swift comes to Manila, then the whole city's going to stop. Yeah, it's going to be in a bad way, probably, to be honest. Somebody said, this is what a international professor of relations said in Australia. Yeah, it's really nice to see those countries in the region arguing about something fun, I guess, instead of really deeply difficult things, because they're all really big differences between those countries. But it does show you that there's some tensions and jealousy and rivalry. Is that what this is really all about, Andrew? Singapore is the rich kid in Southeast Asia. Right. By far. It's true. I don't even think it's even close. No, it's like the gated community of your city. Right. And of course, they're going to get everything in just the Taylor Swift is she's almost a symbol of this great Americana that a lot of people thought disappeared in the 1970s, but she's bringing it back. And you know what I mean, like, I feel like Taylor represents like the America glory days of old. Yeah, she's kind of the princess. Well, we say what America sweetheart. So I guess, does it just show the differences in security and infrastructure? And then it's almost like someone in people's faces like we got the Michael Jackson of 2024. Yeah, I mean, is it jealousy? Listen, I don't, I'm not like an expert on the Southeast Asian geopolitics. Obviously, there's some feelings from a lot of other Southeast Asian countries being like, Oh, how come they don't, how can we can't have nice things? Or how can we can't have Taylor Swift come to our country? It would benefit us. We do need like the boost in economy and profile tourism and Singapore standing on our way. Well, it's not just Singapore's decision. Taylor Swift's teams decided on it. So think about it, guys, like you want to get, I'm not saying Taylor Swift only cares about money. I'm actually not saying that because I'm think I think there's they understand that when she comes to town, there's a lot of and she has a lot of young girl fans. There's a lot of young women moving around the city and that's already a security concern in itself. Andrew, there is a Chinese saying it takes two hands to clap. I mean, this is a pretty common saying in a cross cultures, right? But basically, yeah, I mean, I think Taylor Swift, she made a decision to. But of course, Andrew, nobody's going to go against Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. I think that calling Singapore greedy is simplified.  But this is just like even just this is just not for any other reason, but possibly a logistics reason. Right. Somebody was saying in America, she would only do a gigantic stadium. She wouldn't perform at the country fair either. Yeah, because that's not secure and there's no infrastructure for that. How are you going to get people in and out? How are you going to check people in? How are you going to keep it safe? Not just for Taylor fans and mostly the I would say the people departing, especially if the thing runs late in the night.  There were some other crazy discussions saying, you know, other countries may have religious conservatism. They don't like her outfits. They may not like some of her support. That's true to other issues and other like related to it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate that, you know, if you live in a country that you don't like the government of, obviously, there's a lot of governments in this world that a lot of people don't like that they have to live under. But I'm saying like that's unfortunate. But yeah, your government is going to also decide that. So if your government officials don't like Taylor Swift or don't want to deal with them, they don't like her outfit. Yeah, they don't even like her what she stands for because she stands for America. You know, she's essentially like a walking, beautiful American flag at this point. Travis Kelsey is going to Singapore to hang out with her while she's doing her shows out there. The Super Bowl buff bearded, was he a tight end? Yeah. He's going to Singapore to spend time with his American queen, Princess. Yeah, this is like, I don't even know who this was in America. This is like Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe going over from like 1950s. This is white American royalty. Okay. Right. Right. They're going to Singapore. So while I understand, I think other countries would deserve a chance. And I think other people do go to other countries. You just think about literally what Taylor Swift's concerts do to her amount of fans. And yeah, it's kind of crazy thing to deal with. Yeah, it's very, very interesting. Let us know what you guys think in the comment section below. Man, a lot of interesting thoughts just from Taylor Swift getting geopolitical in Asia. Hey, you can't have Taylor Swift, but you could fly the Fung Bros out. We'll go to, I'll go to Malaysia, Thailand or Philippines. Let's go. Dude, I just read this article about this girl in Tokyo who booked all four nights for the Tokyo dome and quit her job in Fukuoka just so she could go to the Taylor Swift concert. I'm just saying that she got some super duper fans. Well, I don't know if her family got money and maybe she doesn't need that job, but Taylor Swift should give her a shout out. What is it about Taylor Swift? Let us know in the comment section below because she's literally got presidents and prime ministers commenting on the heiress tour. Let us know in the comment section. Until next time, be the hot pop boys. Be out. Peace.


Good health to all from Rexall! It's the Phil Harris Alice Faye show presented by the makers of Rexall drug products and 10,000 independent Rexall family drugists. Good evening.

We family druggist are talking about when we tell you You can depend on any drug product that bears the name Rexall Good health to all from Rexall And now your Rexall family druggist brings you the Phil Harris Alice Faye show Written by Ray Singer and Dick Chevrolet with Elliot Lewis, Walter Tetley, Robert North, Janine Ruse and Whitfield Walter Sharpen his music yours truly Bill Foreman and starring Alice Faye and Phil Harris Once a month Alice's brother William goes over the various investments that he's made for her today is the day for his report And as he explains Alice's financial holdings to her Phil sits by an open-mouthed amazement I don't quite understand this Willie explain it to me once more very well These are the dividends from your AT&T stock These are the collections from your apartment building all this is interest from your government bonds Phillip stopped ruling Getting Alice's money all wet Oh, oh forgive me Alice. I wouldn't want you running in and out of Safeway with a mess of soggy hundred dollar bill Oh They'll stop making up big things about my money I happen to have a few dollars invested if you had done that with the two hundred dollars you had last week You wouldn't have lost it. What are you talking about? I invested that money very wisely I stayed up a couple of nights figuring out all of the angles went over the whole proposition carefully Then how come you lost it? Well, how did I know the jockey was gonna fall off in the stretch? You invest in some good stocks or why don't you buy a little business? Yeah a little bitty little bitty little bitty It's a good way to lose your shirt buying into a business, and you don't know nothing about it Then go into something that you know about Yeah Yeah, that might be all right quiet now while I think of something I know all about There's Well, there's seems like a splendid opportunity to take on that I'll nudge you if he comes up with something.  I suppose. Well, what's wrong with Frankie's intellect?  Curly Did you know that if you dissolve an aspirin in a gallon of rubbing alcohol and let it soak into your chest for two and a half Hours you can get a hangover without a headache Just been telling them about you that's what Yes, sir, you see Willie and me just had an argument Frankie.  You're smarter than I am That's why I I want to ask your advice my advice by what well see Frankie I I Saved a little money up and and well Willie thinks that I should invest it in something but But well, I thought I'd talk to you first a wise move How much have you got to invest not so loud Remley I Don't want Alice to know about this, but I got 500 bucks stashed away Where have you got it? Tend to my undershirt I Really wants me to invest it in AT&T Well, that's a good stock, but hardly the thing for a man like you Curly don't like it. No, you need something more active I'd suggest you put your money into RSF BB Are SF BB yeah the Remleys slush fund for bucks and blind I It's a holding company Great oh remly will you stop with that ridiculous stick you pay dividends Oh Frankie I better put my money into something more substantial like some kind of kind of business maybe business Curly how would you like to finance my uncle Eddie the inventor he invented a household gadget on on on off I want to finance any inventors all back my own relatives see my uncle John is pretty good at that stuff, too What your uncle ever invented I'm glad you asked that He invented the greatest can opener. I've ever seen it's a combination pile driver and brush As a word like a charm Now you put a can of beans on the table press a button and the pile driver comes down and flattens the can What's the brush for to scrape the beans off the wall Let's see your uncle top that You think you can't my uncle invented a three dollar bill That's not milk it, huh? Look remlee.  Why don't you invest in something that has to do with show business? Buy a part interest in a burlask house or a second-hand strip teaser How about a radio station or better yet something to do with television, that's it the strip teaser no Television why that television can't you see it?

Well, what did you buy me a? 260 pound Rassler Remly, how could you do something Alice stop that you're making the pictures crooked again? Sure great investment five hundred dollars for a raffle. I didn't pay five hundred. I got him for 250 Just think a 260 pound Rassler for two hundred and fifty That's less than a dollar a pound You got his contract for a whole year. You'll make a fortune Wrestlers and cowboys are the biggest things in television Remly. I don't want no Rassler. I Can buy you a cowboy, but they run a little higher They're $2 a pound and they insist on weighing in with their horses Wrestler looked like Well, I don't know where he looks like I haven't seen him yet But if we get down to the gym, we can see him now He's training for about tonight.

You're taking me home. Climb up here, Alice. You can drive Alice and Phil will be back in just a moment, but right now our rex all family druggers has a customer What's the name of that rex all anti acid you sold me a little while back? You must mean bismarex, ma'am Bismarex, that's it. I don't think I've ever found faster relief for acid indigestion That's because bismarex works like a team in a relay race like a relay race What on earth do you mean? Well the carefully balanced ingredients in bismarex vary in the time required for solubility So that each one works in sequence like a four-man relay race. I get it One ingredient starts in where the other leaves off. That's it The first man or ingredient promptly relieves the heartburn that comes from food fermentation in the stomach The next one races to neutralize hyper acidity The third one eases gastric distress and the finish man Leaves a soothing protective covering for irritated stomach membranes No wonder bismarex gives such fast relief. Well, ma'am that kind of quality applies to all of rex all's 2000 or more drug products And that's why 10,000 family druggers will tell you you can depend on any drug product that bears the name rex all Good health to all from rex all The things you get fail into now. We have a female wrestler living with us. Well, blame me. It's curly's fault He should have listened to my first suggestion invested in my uncle eddie the inventor Stop already with the uncle your uncle never invented nothing. He didn't 20 years ago.

President of the United States thank you very much thank you I know that I know I'm about 25 minutes early but since in the great greeting ceremony for the president of Sri Lanka this morning out here six people passed out from the warmth I just couldn't stand it sitting in there and seeing you out here and I wouldn't want to come out here and find a lot of bodies lying there so I decided to come out early but there is one other thing I'd like to leave up to you since the Republican Party is a party of individuals and all now I have a speech here that I was gonna make not too long I learned a long time ago about keeping speeches short but I just wondered would you rather have the speech or would you rather have a question-and-answer session for a little bit of time we've got to ask some questions questions okay that is a question I ask in here of the people that schedule me almost daily it seems like those trips to the ranch are getting further and further between and if you will all help and I get reelected I'm gonna set a new schedule that's gonna see me get there more often but I guess the next visit is July 28th when I come out to open the Olympics yeah now listen I admire your spirit and all of that but just let me tell you one thing please get scared don't don't get overconfident president Dewey told me that I should never be too optimistic so really there are problems there with all the additional registration that they've been doing the big drive that they've been making and all I think that we ought to consider that we're one vote behind and run that way all the way to November and then at least get us one vote ahead well yes now wait a minute the the domestic content bill I have to be opposed to that that is another form of protectionism and you may save somebody's job here but no one turns around to see how many jobs were lost behind them by virtue of such a bill now I have to oppose it domestic content you know and that is that anything that is built and imported to this country like an automobile has to have X percent of American manufactured parts in it and it may sound good in the surface but as I say it they usually I'm a veteran of the great depression of the 1930s and that great depression as we look back from hindsight and it was a worldwide depression and if you think the recession we've just been through was anything serious it was a breeze compared to that great depression more than 25 percent of the total workforce unemployed and there were no programs of unemployment insurance or anything of the kind but one of the things that perpetuated as you look back is we rushed out with all kinds of government cures and one of them was the smooth Holly tariff bill that set high penalizing tariffs well of course then every other country in the world did the same thing in retaliation and I think it had an awful lot to do with the recent with the great depression going on as long as it did and don't let anyone ever fool you about this none of the panaceas none of the government make work projects really ended the great depression World War two ended the great depression and that's a pretty expensive way yes what is be the most significant accomplishment the first term what do I think it would be in a second term and I won't repeat your first line there I think maybe overall well of course there is in the face of all the prognostications that wouldn't happen the economic recovery which has now become economic expansion is something but more than that I've been traveling the mashed potato circuit long before I ever thought I would want to hold public office or do hold public office and all those years I was speaking out having started out as a New Deal Democrat I had converted myself and was beginning to speak out against governments increasing intervention in the private sector governments increasing taking over of things that the people should be doing for themselves and I think to look now and see that the debate in Congress for three and a half years now has not been as it has been for almost 50 years debate of how much more should we spend on new programs and things of that kind is that the debate is over how much should we cut spending there's no one saying we shouldn't cut it's just how much should you cut that is one and I'd have to tie to it another one when we took office our defense posture was so low the morale of our forces so low that we had no reenlistment on any given day 50% of our airplanes could not fly for lack of spare parts 50% of our ships in the Navy couldn't leave port not only for lack of sport parts for spare parts but for lack of crew and today we have a waiting list we have the highest percentage of high school graduates in the armed forces that we've ever had in our history even when in wartime we had a complete draft we have the highest reenlistment rate and we have a readiness posture meaning the equipment and everything would take if there is an emergency and the morale in our armed forces is just something that I get a lump in my throat when I when I see those young men and women out there that are in uniform their spirit their morale I get letters I got one from an 18 year old in a submarine who wrote a letter and he said we may not be the biggest Navy in the world we're the best and I got a letter from an ambassador who'd gone up on the East German frontier and saw some American troops that are over there and so he came back to his helicopter and a young 19 year old trooper followed him this was one of our armored regiments followed him and he said can the ambassador could you get a message to the president well being an ambassador he allowed it how he could he said well would you tell him we're proud to be here and we ain't scared of nothing so that kind of sums it up for me yes we are we're having a big fight in the Congress on that right now but it is absolutely necessary those people in El Salvador have proven in three elections when the guerrillas slogan was on each election day vote today and die tonight and they still in percentages almost double the percentage of voters that we turn out they voted for democracy they voted to have peace and freedom and I think we're morally obligated to stay with them and what we're doing in Nicaragua is nothing more or less than this a totalitarian government in Nicaragua every bit as totalitarian as in Cuba in the Soviet Union is supplying training and directing the guerrillas trying to overthrow that democratic government in El Salvador well as long as they're doing this I think we've got an obligation to support the people of Nicaragua who also want to be free I'm sure you can be invited to the inaugural ball and all of you for the work that you're doing if if and when I always have to say that I'm superstitious but the first part of your question there for your first question here again was the advice to those of you who might aspire to positions even this one there's some drawbacks in this one too but the advice is what you're doing and keep on being active in political life now you may find out because as I say I started out with no idea that I would ever do anything of this kind but being a performer I had always thought that I I had to pay my dues and that meant that I should take advantage of the fact that as a performer I could attract an audience and so forth so I campaigned for the people and the causes that I believed in and it was through that campaigning one day that a group of my fellow Republicans landed on me in 1965 and insisted that I had to run for governor and again believe me I was a reluctant dragon I did not want to do that I have to say it has turned out to be the most fulfilling thing I've ever done in my life but you stay with it and as you help you will see and if you still then have a desire for public life you will see for yourself what is the best avenue to start by getting elected to a local or a state position in the legislature or whatever it might be you and you'll have the know-how then as to how to go about it but it comes from remaining active remaining good citizens who say I'm not just gonna sit home or maybe just go out and vote when election day comes I'm gonna help making the things I believe in come true and that is the other thing don't seek public office just because you think it looks like a good job really believe in something that you want to see accomplished in government and then it's worthwhile are you being properly prepared to run the country and to take over let me just say that when we appointed some time ago a commission on education because we were frightened by the decline in the quality of education in this country the superiority of students in other countries over ours in the SAT tests and all out of that has come a realization but also we can be optimistic because out of that commission has come great reforms there are 50 states that have already at the state level started implementing many of the reforms recommended by that commission and we're continuing with that but so I'm now reassured that you will be I had to say earlier and some of the things they found when they found students in our universities who didn't know which side of the war we were on in World War two I had to say wait a minute somebody's leaving something out here and the things that they're they're teaching you but I think already there has been a great improvement and a remedying of that that situation and so I think but also the very experience that you yourselves are getting here and what you're doing is going to prepare you for that there yes there is something in particular an awful lot of what we've done and are doing here is one of the best kept secrets in American public life I can go out and make a speech and then I look at the TV news at night and I know what I said in the speech and I see I see myself saying about 12 words very innocuous words not the real meat of the speech or anything and then I see myself continue but no sound and a commentator's voice comes over the scene of me telling the people what he or she says that I said in the speech usually quite inaccurate and missing the best parts but the the demagoguery that has gone on in fighting all the things we've done you've heard for example that our economic reform program was not fair that we were unfair our tax cut was unfair it benefited the wealthy and not the poor well how many people out there know and yet I know I've been trying to say this and tell it whenever I can but all of you arm yourself with the facts we learned in making motion pictures back in those days when I was in that career that the most effective advertising in spite of all the bill boards and trailers and everything else was word of mouth people went to a movie because a neighbor said hey have you seen that picture down at the Bijou theater now the same thing is true here your word of mouth to people in these things for example how many of you know that as a result of our tax cut the percentage of the overall income tax that is being paid by the people below twenty five thousand dollars of income has vastly declined the percentage of the tax being paid by people over a hundred thousand dollars of income has vastly increased so we didn't have a tax that benefited the rich and penalized the poor it the very reverse was true how many of you heard that we've our cuts in the budget have been such that the poor are not being taken care of the elderly are being neglected I heard a mayor of San Francisco say this in the air the other night the great problems of the hungry and the poor and the elderly well the average couple on social security today is getting a hundred and seventy dollars a month more than they were getting when we came here the federal government is subsidizing 95 million meals a day every day in the United States the truth of the matter is we didn't really cut anything to less than what it was if we did had the budget would be smaller than when we came all we've succeeded in doing is cutting the rate of increase in the spending when under the law when I submit a budget I have to give a projection of where if that budgets past where it goes us over the next five years where it takes us if we were following the projected five year budgets of Jimmy Carter's administration the deficit today would be ninety billion dollars bigger than it is so when someone tells you that we're we're providing more food stamps what we have done is we've set some limits because we found an awful lot of people who really didn't have a moral right to be accepting government aid because of the level of their earnings that we took them off and redirected our spending down to people who were poor for example we set a standard that a hundred and thirty percent of the poverty level of income below that level you're eligible for government help above that level you're on your own we found people who were making almost two hundred percent of the poverty level income and we're getting government programs we have increased the grants and loans to needy students from college by fifty two percent since we've been here now I'd only cite these as things find out and then you bet you can do a job if you're the one that can raise your hand in a group and say wait just a minute and correct the demagogue that is out there with all the cliches and I'm keeping you here too long because you're beginning to melt I bet you were here in the summer of 81 the first one here hi to see you Mr. President Matt introduced you megan lot who was the organizational director of national teenage republicans Mr. President we think you are the absolute greatest and we all love you very much we love Nancy too on behalf of teenage republicans all across the country we would like to present you this very special plaque the inscription reads president Ronald W. Reagan 1980 through 1989 big men wear big shoes and dream big dreams Mr. President thank you for making America great again and ensuring our future presented by national teenage republican leadership conference June 17th through 22nd 1984 and Mr. President as a post script on our feelings about the fall campaign I'd like you to read the last line of our plaque it says let's give Fritz the boot well if I needed any inspiration I have it now I'll try my darndest to fill these boots and with regard to dreaming dreams yes and don't you be afraid to dream dreams that's what made this country what it is dream and then go after those dreams that's what it's all about and we'll do our darndest if we have those next several years whatever time we've got left to try and hands you a little head start on those dreams of what this country can be we'll keep on swinging back here God bless you well thank you very much thank you all very much oh I did you're still hands up there and I I know all right all right listen I can take I can take one more I'll take one more question and that's because we have run out of time and and you've you're gonna be running out of comfort here in it about a new party well there's that that always goes on there are people that and sometimes they have very worthwhile goals and aims if they do and if they're not going off on some tangent that takes them in the opposite direction of everything we believe in then the best thing that we can do is to try and convince them that cooperating with our party is maybe the quickest way to get started on the things that they aspire to if we've got the safe they've got the same goals and they look the same goals as we have let's go after them and tell them that together maybe we can bring about some of their their dreams I don't know of any better suggestion than that my time is up and I know you I thought that I was in the worst climate in the world in Sacramento as governor but here no you really melt it's it's terrible well again listen wait a minute now wait wait one second I'll come right back
