the radical fundamental principles of freedom, rational self-interest and individual lives. This is the Iran Book Show. All right everybody, welcome to Iran Book Show on this Thursday, November 16th. I think it's giving in a week from today, hard to believe. Hope everybody's having a fantastic week and looking forward to I guess the weekend starts tomorrow. So that's exciting and it's I think a lot of people taking next week off given Thanksgiving. So a long week it should be. I like the start of this season, the Thanksgiving to Christmas is a really good time, really through New Year. Time for reflection, time to organize my desk, time for you can see all the mess over there. Time to reflect plan for next year and everything else. So welcome to holiday season. It's basically here. All right, today we are going to talk about TikTok and Osama Bin Laden. This is a combination I didn't think I would be talking about. We'll talk about Ben Shapiro, Candace Owen and their spat. We'll talk about that a little bit and you know people have asked me what I think and people have asked me what they actually said and then we'll talk about Tucker Carlson comments about basically really Ben Shapiro even though he doesn't name him by name to Candace Owen and you know Tucker Carlson's comments generally on what's going on in Gaza and his comparison of that to other issues that should concern us at the top of our day. So a lot of celebrity names we're throwing out. We'll definitely talk Shapiro, Owen, and then finally we'll talk about kind of the I think the attitude towards the war in the United States that I think the real shifting sentiment towards Israel and towards the war in Israel and I'm not sure how much this is reflective of the rest of the West but certainly in the United States it is there's a big shift or there's a slow shift or if you want to see it but there is a shift and I think that's reflected in Tucker's comments and how this is all navigated I think it's going to say a lot about the future of Western civilization. So I am on the side of those who are worried. I am more worried than ever. I thought I was more worried than ever when Trump was president but now I'm more worried than I was worried back then. It just it just does get worse. It makes me it more difficult for me to be rationally optimistic as the day goes by. Anyway let's not get into that. We've got a whole thing to talk about Bin Laden and Tik Tok, right? Reminder you can ask questions. You can ask questions by using the super chat. You can ask questions by using the super chat.

Let's jump in and what are they talking about? I heard the human eye can't perceive more than 60 frames per second. Okay, I'm sure a lot of you are following this. I don't know how many but about a few days ago it started where on TikTok they appeared these videos where young people announced to the world that they have read Bin Laden's letter, a letter that Bin Laden published and was published for him in The Guardian, which is the British left-wing British newspaper and that these young people, the young people who'd read this basically read the Bin Laden paper and went, whoa, Bin Laden was right. He predicted it. He saw it. Bin Laden's not the bad guy here. Bin Laden's actually right. He's identified all the post-colonial sins of the West. He was just one of us. He was just one of us social justice warriors. He was one of the people actually fighting Western colonialism, Western racism, Western elitism, Western cultural superiorityism, and indeed Western decadence. And a few people posted these TikTok videos. They were watched by millions, I guess. And then more videos showed up and more videos showed up. And so TikTok is now flooded with videos saying Bin Laden was right. The West was wrong. Bin Laden was just, the West was wrong. Bin Laden has just causing his side. He was the true social justice warrior. So you see a lot of these videos out there, all by young people, I guess. And they are everywhere. Of course, we also know that the algorithms for TikTok are guided at least to some extent, if not a complete extent, by China. And you'd expect China to encourage viewership and encourage participation of anything anti-American. Hard to tell if these people are doing these videos and not to get attention because this is the cool hot thing to do right now. Hard to tell if these videos are being done because people actually believe in them. But there are hundreds, thousands of these videos on TikTok. And they are a reflection, I think, at least to some extent of the state of mind of much of, not a majority, but much of the youth in our culture. They hate Western civilization. And look, it's not surprising.  It commits war crimes. It has subjugated the peoples of the world. It colonized the people of the world. Yeah, true, it was 170 years ago. But since then, they just keep adding to it. And the colonies continue in places like Israel. And the suffering that they inflicted on the world was so vast and so great that the people that were colonized are still suffering from it today. They have, since they were babies, been taught that fundamentally the West is decadent, corrupt, horrific, oppressive, privileged, and that it's wealth as a result of exploitation and stealing. This has been the message of our intellectuals. This has been the message of Marxist. But it's also been the message of the post-Marxist, if you will, the anti-Marxist left, which is the woke, the politically correct, the CRT, the entire West, the entire Western intellectual establishment, which is dominated by the left and dominated by the hatred of the West. And the result is young people who hate the West and who now, thinking about it, reading what Bin Laden wrote, a sympathetic to al-Qaeda, and not surprising, therefore, sympathetic to Hamas. Hamas is just al-Qaeda, a local al-Qaeda chapter, nothing more than that. The letter that they are reading is a letter that, oh, some Bin Laden published, it's titled Letter to America. It starts off in the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful, and with a bunch of quotes from the Quran about fighting disbelievers. It is a letter that was published, as I said, in 2002, after 9-11, in The Guardian. It is, I have to say, because I've now read it, even though The Guardian is taking off their website, interestingly enough, without any explanation, two days ago, The Guardian took it off their website, or yesterday, they took it off their website. It is a brilliant letter. I mean, you got to give it to us on Bin Laden. The guy was smart. The guy had a deep understanding of the West and its weaknesses. He had, now, maybe it's not him, but he had people who really knew English, people who knew and understood how to impact Western audiences. I mean, in many respects, this letter plays right into the hands of the anti-Western left. It understands the anti-Western left. It understands the grievances. It focuses on their grievances, even though Bin Laden is presenting his grievances against the West. These are not his grievances against the West, because his grievances against the West, he wrote extensively about in the 90s and before 9-11, so we know what his grievances are. They're not exactly what reflected in the letter, certainly not in terms of priorities. This is a propaganda letter, brilliantly crafted, to sway people in the West towards his side and to hate themselves. Bin Laden generally, if you read him pre-9-11, cared very little about Israel. Israel was never a big factor that motivated Bin Laden. Bin Laden cared about the United States and its decadence. He cared about the secularization of the West. That was his focus. That is what he cared most about. And in this letter, he starts off with the Palestinians in Israel. He doesn't care about the Palestinians. He cares about destroying America like he did the Soviet Union. In his mind, he believes he destroyed the Soviet Union. He cares about, again, decadence and secularism. But here's how he phrases it. Again, you got to admire his ability as a propagandist. Evil people have this great ability to identify the weaknesses in their opponents and to really go after them. So he says, he starts off the letter by saying, why are we fighting and opposing you? Because that was the big question after 9-11. Why? Why did this happen? And then second, what are we calling you to? What do we want you to do in other words? That's the more interesting part you'll see in a minute. And what do we want from you? So here's what he says, why they're fighting. They're fighting us because the West has attacked Palestine. The Jews, not even Israelis, the Jews stole Palestine. They attacked Palestine through the Jews, and they support the Jews taking Palestine. Palestine is a property of Islam. Islam captured it from the Romans. They drove out the Romans, which is the Byzantine empire he associated with the Romans. He shouldn't say the Christians were there first, and they drove out the Christians. But he's not going to say that. He's going to position as the Romans. So he's manipulating history in order to argue his cause, right? And then he has a whole list, right? So Palestine is number one. But then, beyond Palestine, you attacked Somalia and you attacked this country that you support the Russians in Chechnya. This is at a time where Russian was slaughtering Muslims and the thousands in Chechnya. You support oppression of the Indians in Kashmir. You support the Jewish aggression, again, not Israeli, Jewish aggression against Lebanon. And then he goes on and on. You support oppressive Islamic regimes, Muslim regimes, that prevent the people from establishing Sharia law. The people want Sharia law.  And instead, they get these half-secularized Islamic countries. Then these governments, these Muslim governments, are doubly evil because they sell you oil for pittance, for pittance. And you are exploiting them and getting all this oil. So everything, you know, everything, you know, the United States does, you're, the sanctions in Iraq, this is before the invasion of Iraq, the sanctions in Iraq have killed millions of people, you know, a child dies every day in Iraq because of the sanctions you impose on them. You know, no reference to Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, no reference to Saddam Hussein's brutality towards his own people. Forget about that. And on and on and on and on, all about how the West treats the Muslim world badly and always has. And of course, it's the American people, you know, and then he gets, this is, God, this is so, this is so fascinating, right? He says, well, what about the fact that we attack civilians? You argue that we shouldn't be attacking civilians because they're not responsible. And he says, whoa, that's not right. He says, you're the land of the free.  And by electing your own representatives, aren't you responsible for what they do? And if you don't like what they do, why haven't you elected those representatives out, why haven't you replaced your government? And don't you pay taxes to the American government? And aren't those taxes then used to support Israel, to kill Muslims, to do all these things around the world? So they're no innocent Americans. There is no such thing as innocent Americans. You are part of the war machine. And, you know, isn't it the American people who employ the military? Don't you pay the soldiers? So aren't you responsible for what your soldiers do in your name? Of course you are. So you're legitimate targets. And he says, this is why the American people cannot, cannot be innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and the Jews against us. And he says, Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. He's arguing he's doing this all in self-defense. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy the villages and towns.   So again, you get, you get the propaganda and how these kids are buying it. I mean, how is this different than what their professors are teaching them at university? Aren't they teaching them the same thing? Aren't they teaching them exactly the same thing? That is America responsible for all the evils out there in the world? That is the Jews in America that have oppressed the Muslim world for all these decades, centuries? So I don't know why anybody out there is shocked by the TikTok phenomenon. It's not Chinese algorithms that are the problem. It's not TikTok that is the problem. The problem is only to get educational institutions. The problem is our attitude towards Western civilization, Western values. The problem is that we don't educate our kids in history, proper history. We don't educate our kids about what actually happened. We don't educate our kids about the virtues and values of Western civilization. So yeah, what you get is self-hatred. What you get is Bin Laden is just saying the same thing my professor did. The real enemy, the real enemy of the United States is not China. It's not even Bin Laden because Bin Laden can be eradicated easily. It's not Russia. The real enemy of the United States are the professors at our universities teaching this garbage. And the people in the media left and right, who support them? Who support them? Who empty Western civilization and the values and what it represents of all content and blame the West for everything? The enemy is among us. The enemy is within us. The enemy is right here. And they are the ones who need to be dealt with. Once they are dealt with, any external threat is easy. But what is surprising is that these kids didn't read the whole thing, right? They didn't read the answer to the second question because Bin Laden posed two questions. Why do we do this and what do we want from you? But what do we want from you? Ask for the second question that we want to answer. What are we calling you to and what do we want from you? One, the first thing we are calling you to is Islam. This is the religion of the infidication of God. This is the religion that really gives you freedom. This is the true religion. And we are calling you to religion, to a religion of manners, righteousness, mercy, honor, purity and piety. It's a religion that shows kindness to others. We saw that on October 7th. Justice between them, granting them their rights. We see this in Iran. You see this in Iran right now with the goals. I mean, they granted all their rights and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. Yeah. You guys have done a good job with the Palestinians and all the other oppressed in your Muslim world. It is a religion of adjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. Yeah, right, 9 11. Oh, what? It was just self-defense. He also says that this is a religion of jihad in the way of Allah. We don't discriminate. Again, playing to our left.  But so that's the one thing they call, they call us. They want us all to Islam. They want us. They're calling us to submit to Allah. Second, the second thing we call you to is to stop your oppression lies immorality, debauchery that is spread among you. And this is, this is good. Hopefully the, the, these leftist kids have read up to this point. We call you to a, well, maybe here the right might, the right might really embrace this. We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honor and purity to reject the immoral acts of fornication. No fornication guys. Homosexuality, intoxicants, gamblings and trading with interest. Trading with interest. Oh man. He goes on to say after we discuss, it's so relevant, you know, but, but notice, you know, we know what they do to homosexuals. We know what they do to fornicators, intoxicants, no alcohol, no drugs guys, no gambling and no trading with interest. And this is what he writes.  You are a nation that permits usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media and now control all aspects of your life, making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense. I told you usury always, it's always there. Any, any time you find an evil ideology, the anti usury right there, the anti usury right in the beginning. I mean, I wonder what, what, what Knowles would think of that paragraph. I wonder how much of it he would agree with or Matt Walsh or any of those guys, right?    Giant corporations, establishments are established on this under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it. And because of all this, you have, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were no unknown to man in the past.  All right. You can see, hopefully, how, you know, how easily this could capture the imagination of young people in the West, how easily this matches up with everything they've been studying and everything they've been learning and everything that's been part of their education, and how easily this can become an attraction to them and why in a conflict between the West, in a conflict between Western civilization and Bin Laden, they're going to take the side of Bin Laden. I'm reading, those of you coming in late, I'm reading from Bin Laden's letter to the American people written in 2002 that people on TikTok are extensively commenting on, and generally their commentary has been positive. That is, they're rallying around, you know, they think Bin Laden was right. Whoa, we read this, we were taught our whole lives, our parents told us Bin Laden was evil, was really, really bad. And now we read this and we go, whoa, maybe he's right. He actually is right. And not only is he right, he's completely consistent with what our professors at university have taught us. God, Allah, or whatever you want to call him, help us. This is a, we have reached so low as a culture, we have reached so low in educating our children so badly in providing with the ability to think and to study and to know their own history and to know the world that they are now on the side of barbarism. They are now on the side of primitivism.    This is what we were going to go. I guess it's happened faster than I expected, or at least it's caught up with me in a way that I don't think any of us saw coming in the short run. This is the world in which we live. We live in a world in which Bin Laden is more popular than Western civilization. And where Hamas is celebrated for the post-colonial, you know, strength and commitment. The leftist country has really gone nuts and has now embraced their nihilism explicitly, completely without any reservations. And the massacre on October 7th just has brought this to the forefront and now they're embracing Bin Laden. Why not? Let's roll in all these massacres together. Let's roll in the evil of Islam completely together. All right, let's see. It's late. I spent a lot of time on that. All right, let's do Shapiro, Owens and Taka. So as you probably know, Ben Shapiro has been a, you know, just since October 7th, just on a roll in terms of expressing his support for Israel, expressing his disdain for the Hamas, showing them to be the evil that they are, standing up against the enemies of Western civilization. He has been as good as a gatz on this particular issue. And I've supported him. I've told him that I support him. And I have told you, and at least posted this on Twitter, retweeted some of his posts and supported him. He has done some excellent, excellent lectures in Oxford and Cambridge and elsewhere where he has defended Israel and done a very good job at it. Ben Shapiro is super smart and super sharp and super quick. And he does a good job when it comes to this. During, I guess, during some of these, well, not everybody put it this way, not everybody at the daily wire has been as passionate, has risen kind of to this occasion in quite the way Ben Shapiro has. I've not been watching Matt Walsh or some of the others to see what their commentary has been like on this issue. But I can't imagine that it has been as strong and as supportive of Israel as Ben's has. But I do know that one person in particular at the daily wire has not. And that has not been, has been counter, if you will, to Ben Shapiro. And that is Candace Owen. Candace has, since October 7th, been committed to a, you know, the both sides of this issue. Israel is pretty bad to Israel. She has argued is an apartheid state. Israel does violate the rights. And, you know, maybe, maybe there really is something to the Palestinian grievances. Yeah, what happened in October 7th is horrific. But what Israel does is horrific too. The kind of moral equivalency that you see on the left, Candace Owen has embraced that same moral equivalency on the right and has been a voice for that. I mean, this is not surprising. Candace Owen has been horrible and awful for a long time, for a very long time. And she's been terrible in Ukraine. She was terrible on COVID and vaccinations. She's just been awful in pharmaceutical companies. I, you know, if I was running daily, I would have fired her a long time ago. But of course, they can't. I mean, they probably have a contract where they can't. But she's particularly bad on issues that, on many issues, that Ben Shapiro I think is particularly good on. And so Ben Shapiro was asked about Candace Owen on some of these talks that he's giving as he's traveling around out there. And he criticized her, right? He basically said that he thought what she was saying was wrong, and she hadn't said it, and that she was completely off base on these issues. And in particular, with regard to the Israel thing, but I don't think that was the only issue he has with her. He's good on Ukraine and on other issues as well, and they disagree on them. But I think this issue is particularly sensitive for Ben, as I think it should be, not just because he's a real Jew, but because I think he understands, I certainly understand, maybe more than him on this, that this really is a battle for the soul of the West. This really is a battle about Western civilization just like 9-11 was, in spite of what Bin Laden says. Anyway, Candace responded to this, or at least it was interpreted that she responded to this. By quoting scripture. So she wrote, quote, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they should be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manners of evil against you falsely for my sake. No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. You might want to remember that, all you greedy businessmen out there and finance guys who might be listening to this show. She follows up that post with Christ is king. Now, what is she saying here? She's saying, you know, yeah, I'm being criticized, but I'm in the right. Blessed am I for being criticized. And she says, I don't care about money. I don't care about losing subscribers. I am with right, with justice, with God. And I'm going to say the truth in the face of Ben Shapiro or whoever else there is. Now, she might claim she wasn't talking about Ben, but Ben certainly thought she was talking about him. So Ben quote tweets, retweets her and says, Candice, if you feel that taking money from the daily wire somehow comes between you and God by all means quit.   They won't tolerate him long term. They won't like him. They won't. They won't because Judaism is wrong. And Judaism is false.  I mean, I'm reading Dominion right now, which is a really interesting book.  So I will, I will come. I will talk a lot about Dominion in the weeks to come as particularly when I finish it. But in Dominion, it's pretty clear that that what Christianity is, particularly once Paul gets involved with Christianity is a rejection of Judaism. And an attitude of once the Messiah has come, when Christ has come once the sons of God has come, Judaism must be repudiated completely. Judaism is way too, you know, it's, it's, what is the word? It's too tribal. It's too exclusive, too exclusive. And that's the, you know, and therefore, Judaism needs to be gone because now Christianity, the true religion is here. And it's universal, of course. Anyway, so she's sticking it to Ben, and I'm sure at the sidelines, Matt Walsh and, and, and Knowles, at least somewhat chewing your arm. I don't doubt this. This is Candace Owen's response to Ben. You've been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now, unhinged. And we have all, this suggests that she's not just speaking for herself, but maybe for the other Christians in the group. And we have all had to sit back and allow it and have all tried to exercise exceeding understanding for your raw emotion. But you cross a certain line. And when you come for scripture and read yourself into it, I will not tolerate it. Wow. There's, there's a Christian lion in her. Anyway, I don't know how this is going to get resolved. I don't think this is a, this is a little spat. I think this goes to the heart of Ben's ideology and to the heart of Candace's and others at the Daily Wire's ideology. Christianity is incompatible with Judaism, certainly incompatible with Ben Shapiro's kind of Judaism. This Christianity that hates America, that despises America in the way that Candace and Matt Walsh and that Knowles despise America is incompatible. And I don't know how this is going to get resolved. It's going to be really, really interesting to see how this plays out. She is taking the moral and emotional high ground here. She's trying to, Ben, you know, I can only imagine that professionally and emotionally unhinged. Why? Because he sees the world wanting to kill him and they do. And he would expect his friends to rally to his side. He would expect people who, to a large extent, he made in a Daily Wire, rally to his side. And he's not getting that, right? He's not getting that. He's getting them kind of saying, well, Ben, maybe you're overdoing it. Maybe you're going over the top. All right. So then, you know, you know my feelings towards Candace Owen and so on. But then, of course, my other favorite person out there in the world, Tucker Carlson steps into this and Tucker, as this is going on, says, hey, Candace, come on over to my studio. Let's do an interview. Let's do an interview, right?  So, in it, Candace Owen, you know, is criticized as Ben and tries to present her case. But what he or I find interesting is Tucker's position on all of this, which I think is super interesting and super, super stupid and super, super wrong and super, super immoral. And Tucker just goes further and further down into deeper and deeper rungs of hell in my mind, in my moral evaluation of him. So let's listen to Tucker and evaluate what he says. It's only 50 seconds. So I'm going to let it play out the whole 50 seconds. I won't interrupt every 10 seconds, even though I want to, I know. And then we'll talk about what he says and why I think it is so offensive and so horrific and why I think, you know, why I really am finding it hard to be positive about the future of this country and the future of the West and the future of people who support Candace Owen and Tucker Carlson. I just, you know, I just, I find it horrific. I mean, I have my disagreements with Ben Shapiro and at the end of the day, we are in completely different philosophical places. But he's nowhere as bad as these people are. He's nowhere as bad as these people are. And why do I emphasize these people? I'll talk about the left and first of all, I talked about the left extensively in this talk versus Bin Laden. And why do I emphasize these? Because these are supposed to be the defenders of Western civilization. These are the people that I and Hirsi Ali just rallied around and in a sense embraced. These are the people who are the defenders of the West. These are the people who are defenders of the values. Who should you, who should you condemn more?  I think it's pretty obvious that the people stabbing you in the back that the world thinks are your allies are much more important to attack than than anybody else. So here we go. This is Tucker and you'll see there's nothing really too horrible that he says, right? There's also, I can't help but notice that your views reflect mine. I would say pretty much. I'm an American. I was horrified by what happened on October 7. I think it's pretty strange. I don't really understand how it happened, but innocence died and that's awful. And I hated one. I feel so sorry for the Israelis who were killed. However, there's an emotional response that is disproportionate, I think, on the part of some commentators. I mean, our country's being invaded right now by millions of young men whose identities we don't know probably don't even like America and they're now living here.  I've known a couple. Those are real tragedies. I've never seen anything like the emotion from any commentator around those tragedies as I'm watching about a foreign tragedy. I think that's odd. I mean, wow. Wow, wow, wow. I mean, where do you even start? Notice how he talks about October 7th. Strange. Don't know how it happened. Basically, setting himself up to present a conspiracy theory in a system out of time. He hasn't done it yet. He won't do it until it's the onus of it goes away. But strange. Don't know how it happened. I mean, there's a conspiracy theory there just waiting to bubble out of Tucker Carlson's TV, Twitter TV empire. It's just unhinged right off the bat. And he says, I feel bad for the Israelis who were killed. He can't say for Israel. He can't say anything more than October 7th was strange. Not evil. Non expression of barbarism. Just strange. Strange is so morally non committal. So morally zero. So morally maybe there was a good reason for what it happened. It's just strange. Why did it happen the way it happened? Truly sick. Just Tucker Carlson. And then he goes on to say, I don't know. The emotional response is just disproportionate. Really? 1200 people are murdered, raped, burnt alive, decapitated, tortured. And there is a proportionate response. What is a proportionate response? And these are people who, at least in my understanding, certainly not in Tucker's, I know, because Tucker doesn't have any respect or doesn't have any belief in Western civilization. These are people who are part of the West. These are people who are Western, who are being killed. These are people who share your civilization of values. Now, not Tucker's because Tucker has none. And then there are people who are commenting on this, Ben Shapiro, let's say, who not only sees that as a personal affront because he happens to be Jewish, but also beyond that. Also beyond that. It is then exposed into anti-Semitism all over the world and including the United States targeted at him in the United States. Has Tucker Carlson commented on anti-Semitism in the United States? Is he horrified by that? No. So it's disproportionate. And why aren't they pissed off at the invasion? Maybe because it's not an invasion? Maybe because 100,000 people are crossing the border because they want work? They're trying to make a better life for themselves? Maybe that's why they're coming? Maybe that's why they're entering? Maybe that's why people are not up in arms because it's not an invasion?  And to compare it? Yes, 100,000 people didn't cross over from Gaza in Jeju. But they slaughtered, maimed, butchered, raped. Have we seen a dramatic increase in crime generated by illegal immigrants in the United States over the last year? No. Crime is actually declining in the United States. Rape, murder, decapitation, burning alive. Has that increased in the United States because of the 100,000 invaders coming in? Doesn't look like it. Doesn't look like it. And in what way are these 100,000 invaders going to take over our country as invaders always do? They can't vote. It is disgusting and despicable and beneath contempt. There's no difference in terms of the ugliness of the point of view between Tekka Carlson and anybody on the left. And the people in TikTok praising Bin Laden, fentanyl killed 100,000 people last year. Yeah.  You compare that to murder? People take fentanyl. They take drugs of their own free will. They are committing suicide. Now, we could discuss why they're doing it and the state it's happening. But the fentanyl epidemic is not something caused by somebody outside. It is caused by the demand for drugs by Americans. But God forbid you can't criticize Americans unless the elites or Americans you don't like, like they don't have the right color skin, or they don't come from the right background, or they don't have the right religion. You can't criticize other Americans. It's always the fault of outsiders, Mexican cartels, the Chinese. They're responsible for the fentanyl epidemic. It's not the fact that Americans are demanding drugs and they're demanding ever-increasing potency in their drugs. And that is the cause of the fentanyl crisis. Oh, no. And we compare that. A real problem in the United States, because we have to ask the question why are so many people in the United States taking drugs with butchery? I mean, God help us from people like Tekka Carlson. He is the end of this country. And much more likely to gain political power, much more likely that his ideas are the ones that dominate a political world than all the ideas of the nutty left. Much more likely. And you can see that in the fact that I just saw a story today saying that Donald Trump is seriously considering Tekka Carlson as his VP. Makes complete sense. Complete sense. I don't know that Tekka would take it. I don't know that Donald Trump would actually do it because Tekka is so popular. But it makes sense to me. This is exactly, exactly the combination that could win. That could win. And I told you a long time ago, long time ago, it's been years now, that Tekka Carlson could one day be president and he would be the devil. He would be really, really, really bad. He could, he's smart enough and probably able enough to actually implement the kind of authoritarian tendencies that Donald Trump has. All right. Anyway, that's me on Shapiro, Owens and Tekka. And if you're not, if you're not depressed enough, if you're not depressed enough, let me mention one more thing. And by the way, appreciate it. If you like the show before you leave, got a lot of people watching, you know, like it. If you like it, if you don't like the show, don't like it. But it helps with the algorithm. And hopefully we can get a lot of likes on the show, a lot of people watching and get it up there in the algorithm that would help a lot. If you're not a subscriber, please consider subscribing. And of course, if you want to support the show, and we've got 155 people watching right now, we've been over 160, just $100 left to $100, something dollars left to reach a goal. I'd appreciate it. This is going to be a long show. Ask questions or just use a sticker. But let's make the target given the number of people watching. It should be easy if everybody's willing to trade with me with the value for value and the value, you know, just a couple of bucks. And we blow through the target from everybody. All right. Lastly, if you're not depressed enough, a number of news stories about just how deep and wide the, you know, kind of the anti-Israel attitude is in this country. You know, we know this of the left and we know it all over the place in the left of the country, like cities, there are towns now, at least, at least two that I've read. One is North Annova in Massachusetts that have decided to fly the Palestinian flag on the town common until December 7th, right? December 7th, commemorating two months to the butchery, they are showing their support for the butchers, flying their flag in support of the butchery. There's at least another one town that's doing the same thing. Also, if you look at polls, support for Israel is declining. When asked, should the United States support Israel? In October, right after the massacre, 41% of Americans said yes. Today, only 32% say yes. Should the US be a neutral mediator in October to 27, now it's 39%, should the US be involved at all? You know, a significant declining percentage thinks the United States should not be involved at all. So, you know, Israel is losing in the PR game across the board. You saw that on the left, you know, yesterday where there was a demonstration behind in front of the Democratic, I guess, I don't know, the Democratic Party's offices in Washington, DC. They try to break in. It became very violent. The police had to be called. These leftists attacking the Democratic Party for being too friendly to Israel. The same thing, by the way, is happening in the UK, where the Labour leader, who has been untouchable, he's been dominating the party, is when he refused to vote to back a vote for Gaza ceasefire, is now under massive attack, and his leadership is being challenged, and his back benches are revolting. A number of his senior people in kind of his shadow cabinet have resigned in protest. So, the left is imploding over this issue. Now, we could celebrate that. It's good that the left implode.  He is. But the clowns that want to get rid of him are like gazillion times clownier or more evil or more destructive or more horrific than Stammer is. He's relatively rational, as bizarre and nutty as that idea is. But that is the reality. In other words, I think across the board, what you can see is Israel losing support. Those elements on the left and right who despise Israel, who want to see Israel lose, who are ultimately Prochamas, they are consistent. They are fighting. And this is why I think Ben Shapiro should be supported. And it's because he should be supported because because anybody standing up against these idiots, against this trend in our culture, against the barbarism should be supported at this point. This is Western civilization versus barbarism. And the left, those on the left that support the barbarians and those on the right, like Taka Carson and Candace Owen, who won't stand up for the West, they are the enemy. They are the enemy. And this is an issue that separates who the enemy is and who our friends. Somebody says, is Netanyahu a clown? Netanyahu is much worse than a clown. Netanyahu, to a large extent, is personally responsible for what has happened in Israel and is, and I think, needs to be, I don't think he's legally responsible, but morally certainly responsible. He should resign. He should have resigned the day after this happened. And if he doesn't resign, he should be voted out of there.  They should fire him on the spot. But Netanyahu's weakness, appeasement and even implicit support for Hamas for the last 20 years has got to go. He's got to go. And, you know, he, as I've said many, many times, he says, often says the right things and does the exact opposite. He often talks the talk. He never walks the walk. Never. Maybe well now because he's in political corner and he has no options, but he should be significantly politicized, penalized for his, for what he's done in Israel for the last 20 years and how he's weakened Israel. At least the last 16 years, maybe not 20 years. All right. All right. I am surprised that we're so much off the target. The target's not high. We've been going on for an hour. We've had 165 people watching. You would think we could, we could, you know, you would value this enough you're watching to get us to our target pretty quickly and easily. I'm a little surprised we haven't got there.   Furthermore, I'm in the opinion that Gaza must be destroyed. Yeah, I agree with you about destroying Gaza, but it's not going to happen. So when we talk about all you want, you know, what we should talk is within the realms of what is possible, what they're capable of doing, what should they do. I'm all for flattening Gaza. And I was on October 8th and I was before October 8th. You know, before October 7th, Gaza should have been destroyed a long time ago. Certainly Hamas and the entire everything about Gaza should have been decimated. But that's not going to happen. The question is what can be done, given the politics of it. And my fear is that nothing will be done that is except what's already been done because the West and the world is turning so anti-Israel that ultimately Israel will capitulate. It will retreat and we'll have to do it all over again in a few years. In terms of Elon Musk, I don't know what's Elon Musk is. I mean, being a genius in business in tech does not guarantee you're a genius in anything else, does not guarantee that you know anything about anything. Elon Musk is exhibiting real emotionalistic tendencies, real tendencies towards conspiracy theories, but real tendencies towards the irrational. And you know, what can I say? He said, well, we can some aspects of his life. And he's awful in other aspects of his life. And I think the worst thing that happened to Elon himself, the worst thing to happen to him is buying Twitter, which has reinforced the bad in him and reinforced the bad in him and allowed him a platform in which to display publicly the bad, you know, his bad aspects. It was better when he was just once in a while posting, not when he owns the platform and posting on it constantly. Chad, are nihilists still altruists? Are they a step down evolutionary ladder, something different? For example, altruists have a perverted sense of justice and a nihilist has no sense of justice. Well, I mean, all nihilists have to present to themselves and to the people around them that what they're doing, they're doing in the name of justice. They all do that. Right. They all do that. And so nihilists don't walk around saying, we're nihilists and we want to destroy the world and we want to see it burn and we're going to rub our hands and we're going to really enjoy it as it burns. They don't do that. They have to explain what they're doing and their explanation is always altruism. Altruism is what makes it possible for them to get away with it. It's always in the name of somebody who is oppressed. It's always in the name of social justice. It's always in the name of altruism that they're doing what they're doing, always. So they couldn't get away with it for justice. It's hard to say, you know, what is lower than what? The one leads to the other. And the one is part of the other. And you can't separate nihilism from altruism. You could argue that altruism to some extent causes nihilism. And then the only way people can hold the nihilism is by interpreting it in their own minds and communicating it to the outside world as altruism, as justice, a perverse sense of justice, as morality. Thanks Chad. Let's see. Jose just did his first super chat ever. Thank you Jose. Really, really appreciate that. If everybody did a super chat like Jose, we would be blowing up in terms of the support for the show. So thank you Jose. Really, really appreciate that. And again, don't forget to subscribe if you're new and you'd like to follow this channel. Please subscribe and please like the show and please show support for the show through the super chat or through Patreon or PayPal. You run bookshow.com. So I support Chad says also Chad. Yeah, you said Shapiro is good on Ukraine. He wants a truce justifying you with the idea that they are bogged down with how much change. You agree with that? No, I don't. I hadn't seen that. I mean, I thought he was good on Ukraine. Maybe he's not as good as I thought he was, which wouldn't shock me. So no, I don't believe I don't believe a truce is good. I think you just need to keep hammering. I don't buy truces in war. I don't understand truces in war. I think truces are for losers and you got to keep going. What is the point? Why would anybody abide by a truce? What is there to gain in a truce? So I don't agree with Ben on a lot of things. I didn't know he said that about Ukraine, but generally I think he has the right sense about who's in the right and who's in the wrong. I think he's also influenced by people like Jordan Peterson. He's influenced by his listeners. He's influenced by the kind of people Candace Owen and Walsh and Knowles, you know, attract. And so he can't be as honest and as forthright as I think he would like to be. And the best example of that is his view on Donald Trump, which I think he despises Trump. I think he always has despised Trump. But he won't say it. He won't say it. And he certainly won't rally around it, because his audience would abandon him. I mean, the reality is that the audience of the daily wire today is mostly there, I think, for Walsh, Knowles and Candace. And I think that if Ben Shapiro said what he actually thought about a lot of issues, capitalism and Trump and things like that, I think he would lose his following and he would lose his support within the daily wire. Somebody says, make your own book show part of the daily wire.  They'd never take it. And if they did, I would fail. I would completely flop just like I did when I tried to do the blaze. I was on the blaze. I had a show on the blaze. I had a radio, you know, basically a radio show on the blaze, which I did for six months. And I gained no traction, because what I had to say was not what the blaze audience wants to hear. And most of what you do in radio, most of what you do in radio is reinforce what, you know, you find the audience that you're reinforcing their views to them already. And this is during Trump's presidency. And I was anti-Trump and the blaze audience didn't want to have anything to do with me. And all they would do is complain about why I'm on there. So Sivanus, it seems like it would be easy to point out the contradictions with civil civilians government in Bin Laden's letter compared to the Gaza Strip and Hamas. But then double think is commonly found nowadays. Yes, huge double think. And look, the reality is that Hamas and Bin Laden, they all want the same thing. They want you to submit to Islam.   To the extent that you are atheist. Oh my God. Worst wrong of hell is relegated to atheist. You certainly shall die. They want to put you to the sword.  And for the right as reflected in Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, cavalier attitude towards these Islamists is suicidal, suicidal. And it is part of this idea that America needs to hunker down. And if only we hunker down and we avoided the world and we ignored the world, everything would be great in America. And this is remember Tucker Carlson's definition of America. What is America? I did a show on this when he did this on video. What is it a year or two ago? America is beautiful scenery. It's beautiful country. And it's respect for God. That is America. If that's your conception of America, then there's nothing special about America. There's nothing worth defending in America. We might as well submit to Islam. We'll start with submitting to Christ. And then when the Muslim comes, we'll submit to Islam. Why not? What are we fighting for? Beautiful scenery. It's not like the Muslims are going to take away our scenery. Commitment to God. Muslims have commitment to God. So America's not an idea. America's not the funny fathers. America's not the decontamination of penance. None of those are America. What America is is God and scenery, nature. I mean, that is worse, as bad as any leftist. Colt Savie says, I'm glad Shapiro is finally calling out these crazies like, oh, and I'm hoping he'll make the right choice and get rid of her and other clowns. Do you think they'll do that? Think they'll screw it up? You know, I don't know. I don't know who owns what within the daily wire. I don't know how much power Shapiro has. I forget the name of the CEO of the daily wire. I don't know what side of this he comes down on. You know, they're all invested money in the daily wire. They have to be careful not to lose that money. I'm sure that's a consideration. But I really don't know to what extent the daily wire, you know, how much of the daily wire has been Shapiro's, right? You know, I don't know if it's 5%, 10%, 50%, 51%. I don't know. And I don't know the position of a CEO. And I think that will to a large extent, large extent, you know, determine this. Is Tucker worse than Tayyip? Yes. Of course, he's worse than Tayyip or Jeremy Boring. Much worse than them. Much worse than them. I mean, how can you even compare? Tayyip is time. We know what she is. She's a leftist. She's crazy on every single issue, and she doesn't attract the flag loving, God loving, founding father loving Americans. Tucker is doing much more damage to America than Tayyip could ever do. Tucker has a bigger audience, and he's doing much more damage because he's taking good people, people who love America, and he's undermining it. He's undercutting it. He's destroying their sense of what America is. He is destroying the very fabric of America. Yeah, but this is where I care more about the fact that she supports Hamas. This is where I care about America in terms of who is worse for America. Tayyip is a blimp and insignificant nothing. She will disappear from the sphere as soon as somebody reasonable will run against her or she'll still be there, but nobody will take it seriously. Tucker Carlson is undermining America on every single one of his shows, and it's Americans. So-called freedom loving Americans who are watching him. Biden's not worth yelling at. He's so incompetent. What's there worth yelling about Biden for? God. And Biden on Israel is better than Tucker. Much better. And I, you know, I yell like this about the left all the time, right? But Biden's a nothing to yell about Biden is what a waste of energy. Frank says, if coercion is a roundabout way of controlling perceptions, is war a roundabout way of removing elites? No, I don't get that. If coercion is a roundabout way of controlling perceptions, there's a there's an element of truth to that. It's a roundabout way of controlling the mind. War is doing that on a large scale, but it's not about removing elites. It's about removing ideology. It's about removing certain ideas or yeah, it's about removing certain ideas. Now, maybe you do that through elites, but not exclusively through elites because the people ultimately have to rebel. And they have to be willing to change their mind. So war's an attack against people's ideas. It's a, you know, on a massive scale, whereas coercion is on a, on a smaller scale. I and Mirsa did Ben Shapiro get too heat, else with too heat. Yeah. I mean, he might have, right? I mean, he might have thought he created this empire, the daily wire, where he brought in people who shared his values and shared his ideas and shared his view of what America was. And then right now, he's discovering that maybe they don't. And maybe they are his enemies, not his friends. And he, to some of them, he created them. And yet they are turning against him. And that's a good point.  I didn't think of that. But yeah, I mean, here he's built them up. And now they're turning him stabbing him in the back. And I, and I, and it's ideological. And I think, I think it's very real. And yeah, Colt Savage says, Clavin also voiced the support for Israel and blamed old people like himself, a lack of a form of social security. I wish he was better and read and on God, and on a few other things. But yeah, Clavin, that generation, I think is better than the new generation. I don't think Clavin, with all his religiosity, would support some of the nonsense that Knowles and Walsh stand for on religion in its place. But maybe I'm wrong. He might be just as bad, but I don't think he is. Adam says, quote, he's quoting, Said Kub did something. I talk somebody, I talk about it a lot. In my history of Islam, of Islamism, of Islamic totalitarianism, quote, Islam cannot accept or agree to a situation, which is half Islam and half Jahlia, which is, you know, separated from God. So Islam cannot accept a world in which they are pagans or Christians or atheists or Jews. It cannot accept that. It can only accept a world which is all Islamic. What is not what Said or else writes, should Israel invite 2 million Africans a year? No, it shouldn't. Israel is a unique situation, as you saw. It has to fight for its very existence. It has to have the kind of cohesion that makes it possible for it to exist. It is a product. It is a result of anti-Semitism. It is a creation of anti-Semitism. And as long as anti-Semitism exists, it needs to be a country that is preserved as a refuge for Jews. It's not ideal. In an ideal world, Israel wouldn't exist. But we don't live in an ideal world. In the world as it is, no. America is in none of those situations. America is not preserving, you know, any kind of particular group. America is, you know, has nothing to fear from Africans. It has nothing to fear for the Latin Americans. They're not a threat to it. America is not fighting for its life. America's problems at its universities, it's not immigrants. America's problems are Americans. The people marching in the streets are mostly Americans. And America did invite immigrants. Huge numbers of them. And the consequence was that we got America. America is a land of immigrants, whether you like it or not.  Stephen says, in Weiss's recent fed society speech, he spoke of anti-Semitism as effectively a canary in the coal mine of social collapse. Can you point to societies that have recovered from this or is it too late? You know, there's no question that anti-Semitism is part of barbarism. It has been a feature of barbarism throughout Christian history. I don't know if it always leads to collapse. I don't know if that's true in the non-modern era. It was, you know, you saw anti-Semitism in France. In the late 19th century, France didn't collapse. I mean, it was weak, certainly in World War I or World War II. But I wouldn't say French society collapsed. So, you know, it's a great soundbite. And there's a certain truth to it. Certainly there was a truth to it in Germany. And suddenly there's a logic to it. Because once you turn it against some of the most successful people in your society because of their tribal affiliation, then your society is on the way to tribalism in a society is in a way to a very bad place. And so society collapses is not, you know, is very, very possible.  There was no anti-Semitism before. There was anti-Semitism forever in Russia. So the anti-Semitism just was an expression of how corrupt that society was. So I think anti-Semitism is a canary in the coal mine for corruption of society. It doesn't mean that society is going to be, is going to necessarily collapse. But it does mean there's a real, there is a real, you know, there's a real darkness and a real evil in your society. And whether that can be reversed, I, you know, I don't know. I mean, you know, from Jews were expelled from England for 200 years, and then they were brought back, and they've been treated fairly well in England since then. You know, I don't know, but how long it takes, what it takes, how it plays out. You know, again, I view the anti-Semitism today not as a canary in the coal mine. The canary in the coal mine is the really anti, the anti-capitalism of both left and right that has been around for a long time. I view it as just one more step towards the realization of the tribal, the tribal malignancy that is destroying this country and will continue to destroy it. I think it's one more, not the. And, you know, remember that Barry Weiss, which gave a great talk, by the way, it's a really good talk. Barry Weiss is not, she doesn't have an understanding of what America really is. She doesn't have an understanding of what freedom is really means. She doesn't have an understanding of what capitalism really stands for. You know, so she sees things through the lens of free speech, which is good, because we're on the same side of free speech. And to some extent, she's wrong on certain issues around free speech. She sees it through the lens of being Jewish and experiencing anti-Semitism, and she is a believing Jew for the first time.  But she doesn't have a philosophical conception of what is going on in the world right now. She's just shocked by what happened in the New York Times and that caused it to leave. She's shocked by what's happening right now with anti-Semitism. But there's a sense in which those of us who look at it philosophically are not that shocked by it, because it all makes sense, if you understand the philosophical rot, that it is at the heart and at the root of American, fortunately, over the last, you know, long time, long time, 100 years. All right, I have a hard stop in 10 minutes. So we'll do these questions. We're gone an hour and a half. So it's a long show. It's not in my typical news show. So maybe I should have had set up the super chat target a little higher. Not sure. All right, Frank says, you can still do what he called it a sticker. You can still do a sticker to support the show without asking a question, because we don't really have much time for questions, but do a sticker and show your support for the show. Don't forget to like the show before you leave, and don't forget to subscribe if you're not a subscriber. Okay, Frank says, Mohammedism, a historical survey, 1949 by H. A. R. Gibb, Oxford University, a sympathetic, clear and objective presentation, Sia, Sunni, and Sufism. Cool.  There was a lot of sympathy to Islam, certainly after World War One, you know, the whole Lawrence of Arabia mythology around it. To what extent were they attuned to the nihilistic nature of Islam taken seriously? I don't know. Right, Henry Pritchard says, let the show you on. Thank you. How do you best deal with close friends, partners who are strongly pro-Palestinian, and present the altruistic cliche argument of being anti the murder of civilians, infants? You know, I don't know. You know, and I don't how you deal with that because it's very difficult. It's very difficult because these are people who are close to you. There's some issues that are beyond the pale. Different, you know, as individuals, we probably have different issues that constitute beyond the pale. I don't think I could have a relationship with people who are pro-Palestinian and present these cliches. I have an uncle who certainly is that. I wouldn't be surprised if my uncle was marching in those anti-Israel marches in London, right? I mean, he's Jewish by heritage, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was marching there. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a free Palestine thing going. He's a leftist, you know, very sympathetic to Marx, and he's very pro-Palestinian. I don't have much a relationship with him as a consequence. I haven't for, you know, when he was, when I was a kid, I loved this guy. He was the best uncle you could imagine. He babysat for me many times. He lived in Israel in those days, babysat and everything, and I liked visiting when I'd go to London. But once I became an adult and actually we started to argue about philosophical, cultural, economic issues, it just became untenable to have a relationship. And today, there's no way I could have a relationship with somebody who is pro-Palestinian presented. You don't know an advocate for these altruistic cliches. What next? So it's just, you have to figure out how valuable is the relationship and how much pain, how important are these issues and how much pain does the people surrounding you inflict on you by supporting those issues? It's a very difficult thing to do.  I, you know, there are certain things I can't tolerate from people around me. And part of the issue is that I, you know, part of the reason, you know, I don't see family as often as maybe many people do is because I don't want to get into those discussions and debates and arguments. Not about this because most of my family is in Israel and very supportive of Israel and very hateful of the Palestinian, you know, hateful of what the Palestinians are doing and correct on it. But there are other things, there are a million different other things that I despise and family is not blood.  I don't care about blood. Blood is for barbarians. Blood is for the collectivists. Blood is for the tribalists. I value blood not. Nothing nada. All right. What is not wet says review culture of critique. I don't know what that is. I'm guessing I'm going to hate it.  Oh God, I can see you already. Wonderful. And Mikat says, I blocked the girl.  That's how I recommend you all deal with it too. Yeah. I mean, again, it depends on your personal values and how important this particular issue is. But yeah, I think for many of us, this is one of those issues where I don't think I could tolerate people around me who held an anti-Israel or an anti-Western civilization view on this issue. All right, everybody. Thank you for all the superchatters. Really, really appreciate. Thank you, Daniela Sosa for coming in with the $50 there at the end. Really appreciate the support. And there's a show tonight at 7 p.m. east coast time. I'll be interviewing Gene Moroni. We're talking about psychological issues. So join us. So Gene Moroni tonight. I know Apollo Zeus is probably doing flips in the air because he's a huge fan. Thinking, introspection, any questions about skills, things like that. I'll have the topic up on the agenda later today. But thank you, everybody. Christian, if you're listening, you've got some perfect segments for short videos that I hope you put up quickly. One on Bin Laden and Tik Tok and one on Shapiro Orin and Tucker. Talk to you all tonight. I hope you all join me with Gene Moroni tonight. 7 p.m. east coast time. See you here. Bye, everybody.


Hello, people of the internet. My name is Johnny. Welcome back to yet another FNAF News video. Listen, we got a lot of stuff lined up for this video, so we're not gonna waste any more time. If you're brand new, consider subscribing to the channel. We talk about FNAF News all the gosh-dang time. And also, like, 80 to 90% of the people watching are still unsubscribed. Please, we're trying to get to 50k by the end of the year. So it would mean a lot if you just took the two seconds, scroll down, hit the subscribe button, while you're down there, like the video as well. So let's kick the video off by talking about some brand new FNAF books. Well, they're the same old FNAF books, but they're in a brand new bundle, because for some reason we're getting a 2-in-1 Fazbear Frights book bundle. This has been spotted in a few stores recently, so I guess they're already being rolled out. But it's weird because we already have a lot of Fazbear Frights collections, including a 1-in-3 collection. So why we need a 2-in-1? I have absolutely no clue. Another collection that just recently released is actually the Fazbear Frights graphic novel collection, volume number one. I got it right here, and we did actually get a few more teasers of the book itself a couple days before it launched. Yeah, the book is actually now officially out, so no longer do we have to rely on previews, because we can look at the whole book. Speaking of books, let's move on now to Tales from the Pizza Plex, because a lot of the books in this series have been getting preview after preview. One of the previews we got was for the story, Somnophobia, in the book. Somnophobia. Here's a quick summary of the story so far. It's a snippet in the middle of the story, so we have some missing context. But Sam and his friends have a device named the Dreamsphere, in which they use to get smarter. The device contains a holographic moon that comes out, named Moondrop officially, that transport them into a psychedelic type state, like drugs. That's right, kids are getting high in these books. What the hell's going on? The trippy part is, the Dreamsphere seems to take open books and notes and turns it into psychedelic reality. For instance, they are transported to Giza due to an open history notebook. They use this to take advantage of the Dreamsphere to become smarter by using equations. So that is a very quick synopsis of kind of the middle of the Somnophobia story. And speaking of stories in Somnophobia, we actually have the official titles for each story. You got Somnophobia, Pressure, and also Clitherophobia. The descriptions of each of the stories will be on screen right now, so if you want to pause them, give them a read, feel free to. Moving on to the fourth entry now in the Tales from the Pizza Plex series, because this book actually got another cover change. So this was the first initial cover for the book. And after a little bit, they switched it to this new cover. And now, for some reason, we have a third different cover. As you can see, the brand new cover features the mermaid and matronic character detailed on the front. And also the sea serpent is kind of circling behind her. So super weird that they changed the cover for the book yet again. I'm curious which cover is actually your favorite. I know a lot of people are missing the diver from the first two covers, but also I know a lot of people, let's just say, are fans of the new mermaid character. Moving on now, we have the official title for the fifth book in Tales from the Pizza Plex. The title is the Bobby Dot's conclusion, which on its own is a very weird title. Though it does make sense when you realize that one of the stories in this book, the title story, is actually going to be a continuation story of Abe's story from sub-mechanophobia. So I think for the first time in all these FNAF books, like even across Fazbear Frights, this is the first time we've gotten like a two-parter in a way with a story. That's going to be interesting. So that is all the news we have for books. Now let's move on to some merchandise. We got a whole bunch of just random shirts and pins from Hot Topic and different stores. So first up, we have this green security breach shirt, which I did pick up. Um, it's definitely not the most appealing shirt, just because it just looks like someone took a bunch of graphics and then threw it onto a poorly colored shirt. Why did they go for green? Though we did get some other shirts that, in my opinion, look much, much better. This is a brand new security breach t-shirt by JC Penney, actually, and it features some amazing art on the front. I fricken- I love that art. It looks so, so good. It does say FNAF, just covering one sleeve, which is so weird. I wish they didn't do that. And then here's another security breach shirt, which, as you can see, it's just the box art for the game. And they just kind of slapped it on a t-shirt. This is from Spencer's. And then we got some brand new security breach pins of Freddy and also a glitter chibi Freddy. Once again, I did pick these guys up and they look pretty good. Look at that. They look so cute. I th- they honestly look really, really good. Then we got a brand new look at a prototype version still of the Toy Freddy Hex plushie. He's looking pretty good. I like him so far. Very, very excited for the Toy Hex plushies. I still want to know what that balloon boy one's going to look like. He's probably my most anticipated plushie. We've gotten out to some Funko merchandise. Remember that strange, you know, security breach balloon slash circus wave of merchandise that we're going to get at some point on the road? Well, people have since found listings for plushies and also action figures for these characters. They're still branded as security breach. It's still Freddy Bonnie Chica Foxy and it's balloon circus themed. I don't know. I still don't know what's going on with this wave. What it looks like, whatever it is, we're getting plushies, figures, Funko pops. We're getting a whole bunch of stuff. Then we got some more ads for the brand new Funko Snaps, which people have been finding in stores apparently, which is so weird. Because I've been seeing a whole bunch of different early states for these things, ranging from October all the way to February. Then we got a glimpse at the upcoming 10 inch, um, tie-dye Freddy plushie. He was featured alongside the regular sized plushie and one of Funko's latest videos. So him and tie-dye Foxy are going to be hot topic exclusives. And since they're appearing in some Funko videos on their channel, I'm guessing they're going to be releasing pretty soon. Speaking of plushies, I actually made a mistake in one of my latest FNAF news videos because I was told the information I was under the impression of was that the Funko Fanverse plushies would be coming out at the tail end of August. This turned out to be kind of true, but also kind of not at the same time, because on that date, August 25th, Kane actually made a tweet saying some people who have visited their game stops have said that today is the day that the warehouses receive the plushies. But they still won't be available for sale for a while. It may take up to another month. Regardless, keep me updated, I have no additional info to share, so don't ask. And then a couple days later on the 2nd of September, he said lots of people asking me when the Funko Fanverse plushies will be available. I don't know. I don't get extra info on this stuff. It's taking some more time for GameStop to receive the stock, but I have no idea when that will be resolved. I will tweet news as I receive it. So far, we've gotten no updates. So it looks like they've been shipped out to warehouses, which is good news, but they're still shipping out to actual GameStop stores, and no store has them right now.  And of course, whenever we do get more news on the plushies, I will include it in a FNAF news video. So subscribe so you don't miss out on that. Speaking of the Fanverse, let's quickly make a pit stop at Popkos Evergreen, because Kane released a tweet actually on August 25th as well saying the toy animatronics return in Popkos Evergreen. But I wanted them to look like they'd been ripped straight out of FNAF 2. So a big thank you to Alexis, who is walking with us on some extremely accurate custom toy models. So you can see a tester under of Toy Freddy, he's waving to us, hey Toy Freddy, he looks so good. What's interesting is that Kane made a follow-up tweet saying, No, the toy animatronics won't appear in the main night gameplay for Evergreen. They appear somewhere else. Very, very interesting. Switching back ever so quickly to some Fanverse merchandise, Finally, after long last, the Fanverse U2s figures are releasing on September 16th. As you can see, you got main man Candy the Cat. Oh, we finally got his design revealed to us, he looks so, so good. You got Popkos, he's got the finger guns, he's got a microphone in one hand, he looks awesome as well. And then you've got the man, the myth, the legend himself, ignited Freddy from The Joy of Creation. They all look so good, in my opinion, I cannot wait to get them. So put it on your calendars, September 16th, 3pm EST, these three bros release. The squad pulling up. Speaking of U2s, we also got revealed to us the upcoming Vanny mug. This is a teaser of it, they posted in their Discord server. And then I also saw at U2s underscore news on Twitter, replied to Kane Carter's tweet with this image. I'm not sure where they got it, but I thought I'd include it anyways, because this is a full 360 degree look at the upcoming merchandise of the Vanny mug. Still a very strange, very strange piece of merchandise. And our final topics for today involve Security Breach and also Steel Wool Studios. They put out a tweet the other day announcing a brand new update to the Google Stadia edition of Security Breach. Adding in a crowd choice feature. Streamers can now use the crowd choice feature to give their audience the opportunity to pick which route they should take, such as the loading dock versus the prize counter, Monty versus Chica, or staying versus leaving. They also added player stats and also fixed a whole bunch of bugs. And finally, to celebrate the one year anniversary of Freddy and Friends on tour the other day, we'll actually put out a brand new blog post showing off some behind the scenes of the creation of Freddy and Friends on tour. As you can see some concept designs of the main gang. I will leave a link to the full blog post down below if you want to actually go through and read the actual text, but I'll show off some of the art. Here are the backgrounds. Oh my god, those look amazing. Very nice, very nice. The main process of the 2D animation. Like that face. Here's Foxy. There it is. Look at that. And also again, you know, huge credit obviously to the artists and people behind the, you know, development process. Freddy and Friends on tour was truly something amazing. I enjoyed it a lot. I know some people didn't like it because it was kind of a repeat each week, but it was amazing. It was something that FNAF had never done at the time. And I think it filled the void of, you know, anticipation for teasers and the actual game itself very, very nicely. And I really do hope we can see it make a comeback some point in the future, maybe to tease some stuff with, you know, the Ruin DLC. But it was just such a cool way of teasing the game and teasing the new characters in the game as well. And I hope we can see something like this again in the future. But that is all the FNAF news for today. A very long episode probably because we had a lot to go through. But I hope you guys enjoyed nonetheless. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


update. Good afternoon folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida this year. 2 p.m. Update and currently we have a bit of a mixed bag out here. The Dow up 229 points. The S&P is up to basically flat. The Nasdaq is not flat. It's off 147. That's not one percent. The Russell's off but flat. It's down one point. The semis are not flat. They're off 68 points. That's two percent to the downside. They've got gold trading up 815, 1946 to the print. Silver's printing at 2491. That's 17 pennies to the upside. Lights recruit up nearly a buck. 96.98 there. Natural gas off 8 cents. It does have a TD nine count top. So it is preparing for a bit of a retracement in the 30 year treasure off one point and three ticks. 143.05 is the print. Let's go spend a little time with our industry charts out there. I don't think we've done that all week. But we're going to do it. We're going to end the week that way. And you're going to see the Dow that's in the upper left hand corner. The one thing you want to notice about the Dow, or should notice, is price right now is trading above that's green oscillator and change line. That tells us the Dow has a rising price oscillator above zero. Those are bullish conditions. And as long as that stays, then what the Dow is communicating to us is it wants to head higher and likely wants to go target that 35, 431 area. It's not getting the support it needs from the S&P 500 because price is still below its green oscillator and change line. Nor is it getting support from the Nasdaq 100. Price is below its green oscillator and change line. The Russell 2000 isn't helping out either, just an inside day there. But again, not the same signal that we get from the Dow. The only time we get a signal that supports the move in the Dow is coming from the New York Stock Exchange, which happens to be above its green oscillator and change line. That's printed in 16682. It says we have a rising price oscillator above zero. Which suggests they moved to 16969. If you take a look at the semis out here, today is going to become bar number eight. The semis should, not that they will, but they should form a bottom between today and Tuesday of next week. So we'll certainly want to keep an eye on that. The transports out there look like they still want to go tackle the lows of February, the February 24th low out there. And the Nasdaq composite just inside day is here, not really providing us with a ton of information, but it is below its green oscillator and change line. And that says that a further retracement is in order. So summarized here, you got the Dow and the Dow and the New York Stock Exchange. They both say they want higher price. The others are looking at each other cross-eyed saying, really? Folks, day two. Your favorite polar bear, David Weitz, up next. After that, Talwell-Grind will take us on home. I'll be back with you on Monday, Magnificent Monday. Have a wonderful weekend, folks.


Take one man with a dream and lock him in the icy depths of the ocean. That's our story, salvage, taken from the vials of John Steele, adventurer. Hello friends, this is John Steele. We're back this week to bring you a really unusual story of adventure. This is one of those one in a million tales that you come across once in a lifetime. As I've said before, these stories are not mine, but those of people I've met in my travels. This one happened to a man I'm really proud to know. I first met George McCready when I was in the Navy station in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. But, uh, suppose we let him tell his own story. George? Like father, like son, they say, and that's the way it was with Billy and me. I joined the Navy when I was 17 and when Billy was through with high school, there wasn't any question about what he wanted to do. Only it was a good deal easier for him than it was for me, because his old man was a full commander when he went in. He had spent all his life around Navy bases. I kind of hoped he had picked Deep Sea Diving School so I could help him along, but he decided on submarines and I figured that was close enough to suit me. After he was through with his training, I pulled some strings and had him assigned to a sub-base at Portsmouth so I could keep an eye on him. That's why I knew he was outside waiting that day. The day I was called over to the medics. It was comforting just to know he was there. Back from the lab, George. Thought you'd want to know the score. A number one, huh, Harry? Well, you're not in bad shape for an old guy. What do you mean, old? You were a chief when I was a second-class seaman. Yeah, but I've been sitting behind this desk for the last ten years while you've been out doing young man's work. What are you working around to? George, we've known each other for quite some time. Give me the facts. Okay.  Bad as that, huh? I'm afraid so. It's funny, I feel great. I know you do. That last case of the bends was the straw. Pump, huh? Well, the heart's a delicate instrument. It can take just so much abuse and then it quits. It was only a mild attack. I was over it as soon as they stuck me in a recompression. I know. I'll use a helium suit. Helium, nitrogen, what's the difference? I'll bring you up to the surface too quick just once and that's it. Yeah. You quit now and you're good for another 15 or 20 years. One quick ascent and I couldn't guarantee anything beyond a year. A year. That's all, maybe less. Yeah. I'm forwarding this report to the captain, George. He'll probably call you in in a few days. Thanks, Harry. There's still a McCreedy in the Navy, George. Yeah. Thanks. What's the old pop? Not good, huh? Not bad. What do you think you're for? Nothing serious. Well, anything I put it... Where do we get outside? Well, square that hat, sailor. Oh, sorry. No self-respecting sailor. Sailor walks around with his hat cock-eyed. Come on, Skipper, what did I say? Well, you see, us underwater sailors got some problems. You guys don't know anything about it. Like, what's the estimated lead given to target moving at 16 knots and a half mile range? Any young punk can fire a torpedo. Sure. That's why they make all the young punk submarine commanders. Just like setting off a firecracker, I gave that up when I was six. You couldn't stand the noise. I don't know what makes you fish jockeys a cocky. You know, I heard they made those diver's helmets out of metal to keep their heads from swung. Okay. Now, give me the straight stuff. What do you mean? What did Doc say?  Come on. I wish I could fool you like a Kenya mother. You can't. Okay. He said no more diving. That's a tough assignment, Skipper. Well, I've been getting a little sick of it. Like I'm sick of Betty Grable. I'm on the level. I know, Skipper. Had to come sometime. Yeah. Probably lucky I lasted this long. You lasted because you're the best. Where'd you hear that? You told me. Well, don't you forget it. You won't let me. Maybe I'll transfer to the submarine service. No, don't start that. They're either too young to know what's good for them or too old to care. Coming home for dinner tonight? No, I don't think we'll be back in time. Run still scheduled? We're shoving off 1,400. And this weather? It's just a test run, routine stuff. Well, what are you doing here? Mr. Halsey gave me an hour of liberty. You should be helping to nail her down. All my work was done. Well, get going now. You'll be late. I'll be 10 minutes early. We'll get going anyway. Okay. We'll talk about this some more later, Pop. Billy. Yeah?  You know me, Pop. Keep your feet dry. We got home for the storm. Real Navy, wife. Barometer's been dropping all afternoon. You pay more attention to that barometer than you do to your old man. Meaning? That. When are you going to grow up? Maybe next year. Don't you dare. It's all Billy off at the base this afternoon. We'll leave you home for supper. I said not to wait for him. Probably be late. And I got double chops for him, too. Chops? When do we eat? Supper will be ready in 15 minutes. Paper's in on your chair. Thanks. Radio. Brian was overraging up the front yard this afternoon. Oh, you shouldn't have let him do it, honey. I tried to stop him. Well? You know how he feels about you. That's silly. A long time ago. He can't help it. Didn't save young Al, anyway. Doesn't make any difference to him. He says if anyone could have saved him, it was you. Just doing my job. Doing your job. You know you should have gotten a Navy cross for the S-4. Cross wouldn't have made up for 40 men lost. Of course not. But you risked your life. Amar. You didn't. You should have. It's not important now. No. Guess it isn't. No. You'll get another chance, George. Maybe. I know you'll... We interrupt this program to bring you a special announcement. The Navy Department has just announced that the tender pawling has rammed and sunk the submarine Sarpon five miles east of Portsmouth, New York. George, that's Billy. Be quiet. Sarpon is believed to have had a crew of 56 naval officers and men and two civilian technicians on board at the time of the collision. Gotta call the base. Other details will be brought to you as soon as they are available. Now, don't get excited. We return you now to the program to which you listen. Listen, Martha. It may not be as serious as you think. Billy. All those men have been trained with the mansion long. They can get out with an even break. Yes. Now, that's better.  I'm sorry, sir. I have orders not to accept calls for the captain. This is Commander McCready speaking. I'm sorry, Commander. My son's on that sub. Just a moment, Commander. I'll try to connect you. Captain Steele. This is McCready, Captain. Yes, McCready. No news. The pawling stayed over her till her phone boy came up, so we have a line on her. That's all I can tell you for now. Well, how deep is it? There's over 30 thousands of water by the chute. 200 feet. It's deep. We've alerted the entire eastern seaboard. Salvage crews are being rushed as fast as possible. Captain, can I... I'm sorry, McCready. I've got your medical report on my desk right in front of me. I couldn't take a chance. Besides, the Falcon shoved off 15 minutes ago. But the Falcon shorthanded the Sauron leave and me... We've done all we can for tonight. We should have help by morning. But, Captain... I know how you feel, but rest assured, we're doing everything possible. Yeah. Thanks, Captain. What did he say? Everything's going to be all right, Martha. All we've got to do is wait. You should try to sleep, Martha. I'm all right. You can just wear yourself out. Every time I close my eyes... That's no way to think. You've got to hope for the best. It's getting light. This light down here on the couch, I'll cover you with a blanket. That's better. House is cold. Yeah, I'll put another log on. Have some heat in a minute. I can't understand why they let the Falcon go out without you. I told you, I didn't have time. They wanted to get that telephone boy on board before the line snapped. Probably send me out at dawn. Then why don't they call? You should be getting ready. They will. What time is it? Almost five. The clock's fast. Time for the news. Yeah, I'll turn it on. The clock and time for the hourly news summary of the news. The Navy Department has released no further information on the fate of the 58 men trapped on the submarine sunk yesterday afternoon in a collision off Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Martha. The interest of the entire nation is centered on the small Navy base at Portsmouth where rescue operations were halted by darkness. The Navy Department has been swamped by telegrams and telephone calls. Base. This is Commander McCready. Yes, Commander. Is Captain still on duty? He's been here all night, sir. Can I speak to him? I'll try to connect you. Thanks. Yes, McCready. Sorry to bother you, Captain. That's all right. I understand. Any news? We know that there were 33 men alive on the control compartment in midship. How, uh... what about the men up the board? Don't know. The sea was heavy and the telephone line snapped right after the Falcon got the buoy aboard. We've been trying to reach them by radio, but so far we haven't made contact. Captain. No, McCready. Couldn't I just go out and ten lines or something? I know how you feel. Let me go, Captain. Be here at seven. Thanks. By nine o'clock, we were circling the Falcon, waiting for a lull in the gale so we could board her. At last, the wind let up enough for us to try a landing. Coast Guardsmen brought her in close as he dared. We jumped aboard. By noon, the gale was blowing out to sea and around two Commander Norton, skipper of the Falcon, getting ready to put a diver over the side. Who's going down, Norton? Collins, Captain. Collins. Best we got, George. Well, he's never made a deep dive. Sauer's being flown back from leave, but he won't get into it tomorrow. We got to get an airline down there. That'll keep the men alive until we get help. Where's Collins? Half by the stage. They're addressing him now. Mind if I talk to him? Wish you would. Thanks. Hello, Mr. McCready. How do you feel? Okay, I guess. Nothing to worry about. The sea's still rough, but we'll be able to handle K. Yes, sir. We don't know where we'll be able to get into the port, but the first thing you do unlock that gratinol and tie it securely to the sub. Yes. You got to do just one job. Get those airlines connected. I know. One more thing. This isn't much difference from a hundred foot dive. Now, you just got a little more compensating to do. Keep increasing your air pressure as you go down or the water will squeeze you to death. But don't get too much pressure.  I understand. Okay, kid, good luck. Mr. McCready? Yeah. Will you do me a favor? Sure, kid. Attend my phone for me. Glad to.  Here comes your lid. Phone check. Phone check. Intake. Check. Exhaust. Check. On your feet, kid. I'll help you on the stage. Hang on. Put him over. That phone, sailor. Can you hear me, Collins? Yes, sir. Reach out and grab that descending line. Right. Good. Let him down easy. Easy, I said. How's it feel, kid? Cool. As soon as you get down a hundred feet, right. Watch your 10 take. Yes, sir. That's about 75. Steady winch, steady. That's it. Okay, Collins, off the stage. Water's hugging me. Take on a little more air. Not too much. I want to feel that suit against you, but no pressure. Better? Yes, sir. Now slide down the descending line. Right. Keep your free hand on the intake valve. Right. Keep feeding, little at a time. Nice and easy. I'm going to do a good job, kid. Steel and Norton are right behind me watching. Set a time. Easy. Easy. Where are you? Can't tell. What's your visibility? About three feet. Secure that descending line. Doing it now. She healed over? No, she's sitting up straight. The tower. Work your way forward. Slow, though. Watch your footing. Don't worry. We got your lines up taught. You're using your light? Yeah. See anything? Not yet. Did you say it was going to be cold? Just pretend you're taking your Saturday night bath. Yeah. Give her a couple of wraps, kid. Let them know you're there. There. Let's get that air into them. Right. Work around to the port side. Yes, sir. You find the high low hatch? Water's hugging again. Take on more air. Yeah. Just bleed it in. Want to feel the suit? Okay. Yeah. Hatch. Work off the cover. How you doing? Okay, sir. Now, couple your lines. Intake to the high, exhaust to the low. Take it easy, son. You're almost done. It's cold. I know. Water's hugging. Better not take any more air. Can you work? Yes. Start your intake pump. Any leaks? Nope. Water's present. Work fast, kid. Yeah. Exhaust connector. Check for leaks. Start your exhaust pump. Collins. Collins. Pull him up. They're closing in again. Flowing worse than before. Yeah. Lost Collins, Captain. Won't be able to dive for a month. Where is he, George?  He was resting comfortably. Any radio contact? No. You know what the litmus test showed? That exhaust here had 7% carbon dioxide. It's not fatal to 10%. It was over the critical line. They could just be unconscious. Yes, they could be. Then the fresh air would revive them. It could. Captain. Yes, McCready? I have to go down. Those men have been down there for 36 hours. It's 30 T degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom. They'll dive exposure unless we get them out. I can't risk your life on what may be a hopeless mission. They can't hold out much longer. Sawers grouted in Chicago. The Karmant put in in New London. Help won't get to us for two days. That'll be too late. Yes. If we get one hour of diving weather tomorrow, that's all I need. Martin? The diver's job's easy, Captain. McCready could do it blindfolded. You know what the medical report said? One more case of the bends and you'll be... I know, I know. All right. On one condition. When you get down, you wrap on the sub. If you get an answer, you go ahead. If you don't, we pull you up right away. Thanks, Captain. It blew itself out during the night. At 10 o'clock, the sea had smoothed down enough for me to go over the side. The jump was easy. Attached for my diving suit was a hauling down wire. All I had to do was secure that wire to the center of the hatch from the soften. Then the rescue belt could slide down the wire and seat itself on the deck of the sub right over the hatch. The last thing I saw as I went over the side was Captain Steel taking my telephone line. I guess he didn't trust me to keep my end of the bargain. Cold. Okay. Okay. I'm okay. No oxygen, Jack, with a helium suit. Just be careful. Okay. Too fast? No. 100, take a rest before you leave the stage. If I need it. Okay. Make it easy. I'm going on down. All right. Visibility's getting bad. Your line's free of the stage. Yeah. I'll keep calling your depth. Okay. All right. Start bleeding your oxygen. All right. It's all right in the suit. Hands are cold. Okay. What's your visibility? About 15 feet. Lower up. Right. Head Collins out of 190. Right. Bottom. Take a rest. I'm okay. What's visibility? About 10 feet. Could be worse. Yeah. Eyes your oxygen. Okay. Keep my lines taught and moving forward. Right. Not yet. Make it easy. Right. There's a tower. Good. Another 10 feet. Thank you. There's Collins' airlines. Okay. Give me a little play on my lines. Right. I'm going to say hello. Not yet. Right again. Right. Not yet. I'm going to bring it up, Max. Captain. We agreed. But they'd have answered by now. Captain. They're answering. Max. Yeah. Still 30 alive. Good. Got to work with that wire, Max. Yeah. Just a minute, Captain. Lost. Give me more slack, Captain. If you want a couple... Give me more slack. That's where she was hit. You're the hatch. Just forward. Can you hear me? Yeah. Back. Suits leaking. Must have snagged on the wreck. Bad? No. Give me more air. Pressure will keep the water out. Captain. Yeah. Give me more. If you take any more, you'll blow yourself topside. I'll hang on with one hand, work with the other. More air. Give me more. Bring it back. Almost finished. More air. The lines are slack. Back.  Commander McGreedy descended to the sunken craft against the instructions of the medical officer and at great personal risk. Knowing that his son was lost on the sarpen, he continued his rescue efforts. Ripping his diving suit on the damaged craft, he clung with one hand of the wreck while completing his mission. By his initiative and resourcefulness throughout this hazardous assignment, which resulted in the rescue of 30 survivors, Commander McGreedy upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. For the President, Secretary of the Navy. Congratulations, Commander. Thank you, Captain. We're proud of you, George. Yeah. Is that all there is to it? That's all. Yeah. Well, thanks, Captain. Thank you, Mac. See, that wasn't so bad, was it? No. Hi, Mr. McGreedy. Oh. Oh, hello, Collins. Meet Mrs. McGreedy. Hello, Collins. How do, ma'am? Heard about the cross. Been waiting to say congratulations to you. Well, yeah. Thanks, son. Doc says I'll be ready to dive in a couple of weeks. Good. Better hurry up. Got a lot to teach you. What's the rush? You got all the time in the world. Yeah. Of course, all the time in the world. Well, come on, Martha. It's getting late. The title? Salvage. The story of a man who made a deal with the sea and traded one for 30. And if you like George's story, why not come back next week, friends? I'll have four people who had an unusual adventure on the steps of a cathedral in the big city with a man who left before he came. I like to call it witness. So until next week, this is John Steele saying, a life of adventure is yours for the asking, wherever you find it. If you really don't look for it, it may find you. Well, so long and good hunting.

Today we have a group of 64th Medical Detachment of Veterinary Service Support out of Baumholter, Germany Conducting a familiarization in canine tactile combat casualty care. This is new guidelines for military working dog treatment on the battlefield. Military working dogs are used across the force for a number of operations and usages. They are absolutely a force multiplier. They can do century and detection work that is unequivocally better than any technology we have. And for that reason it's very important that if a military working dog is injured that we can provide proper treatment and get them back to doing their job. These veterinary global health engagements and more specifically military to military engagements are extremely important for the security cooperation objectives of both of our countries. They're always working together. We saw that first hand during Defender 21 exercise where our military working dog handlers were paired up with Hellenic Army military handlers as well. And the interoperability and the ability for them to understand how each other works is indispensable. Canine triple C is important because it makes us work effectively in the battlefield. We want every one of our handlers and our personnel to know these techniques and how we apply these techniques in the battlefield. And it makes us provide better veterinary care to our dogs. It is a great training as a whole. I cannot say that one part is more crucial than another. I enjoy it all of it. I do think that my colleagues will also like it and of course our handlers and our trainers will also see how important it is for all of us to have well trained personnel during the battlefield. A canine triple C is very important for us. And we need to apply this kind of working and this kind of guidelines to our practice every day because we want to have personnel that we will be very well trained when something bad like a battle will happen and they will be involved in a situation like this. I want to say that we are very happy as a nation to have our colleagues here with us today. It is very important for us to cooperate. We are very happy to have them here with us in the next month or years again to exchange knowledge on things that we do and things that they do. This is the way we go on.
