Pilar is the head of genomics and in Fisabio, a research center in Valencia. His talk is entitled, from gut to health, the role of the gut microbiome in non-communicable diseases and microbiome targeted dietary intervention. Thank you very much, Pilar. Thank you. Thank you. Let's see, how do I move the slide? How do I change slides? Yeah, well it was pretty obvious. Sorry about that. Okay, so since this is going to be the first talk about the microbiome, I'm going to introduce a little bit the subject in general. And I like to start broad, so in the sense of realizing that microbiomes actually have co-evolved with pretty much all of living organisms on earth. So we don't have to think about it as something special of the human context, but it's a very common and actually completely widespread in nature. And humans are not the exception. We have quite complex microbiomes that inhabit in different parts of our body. And the gut microbiome is the most complex of all of these microbiomes that live with us. It achieves the highest cell densities recorded for actually any ecosystem on earth, so 10 to the 11th to 10 to the 12th cells per gram of luminal content in the colon. We actually have in our body slightly more cells of bacterial origin than cells of human origin. And it's composed by hundreds of different bacterial species as well as archaea, eukaryotic microbes and viruses. And one of the things that is very interesting and relevant about the microbiome is that it displays a very large variability among individuals. And we do not really understand well yet how to explain this variability. We know that someone is based on age, diet, health, et cetera, but there's still much to learn about it. Most of the bacteria of the gut microbiome inhabit intestinal lumens, so they're separated by a barrier of mucous from the actual epithelial barrier, but some can actually be in relatively close contact to the epithelial mucosa. The reason we're all here and we're so interested in the microbiome is because they're not just there going along with the right with us, but they're actually very important in our physiology. They actually perform a range of complex functions that are beneficial for us. As you would expect intuitively, many have to do with nutrition and metabolism in the sense, well, among other things that they help us digest complex polysaccharides, that otherwise we wouldn't be able to utilize because we don't have the enzymes for it. And so bacteria are capable of breaking these bonds here and transform these into simpler sugars that then we can use and further transform these simple sugars into things like short chain fatty acids, et cetera, that then have actually very important roles in our physiology. But they're also important in many other things. They also offer protection against pathogens. The fact that they're there at these high numbers protects us from pathogens coming in and installing themselves in our gut. They're capable of regulating the development of the tissues in the gut. And very important, they're very, very involved in the modulation of the immune system. The microbiota produces a large variety of molecules that have to do with gut function and actually not only with gut function, but with gut communication with other organs. So as with the famous gut brain axis or in communication, metabolic communication with the adipose tissue, which would be very relevant for obesity and other related topics. And just as a quick summary, I mentioned here some of these important metabolites could be short chain fatty acids, very relevant in a large number of physiological processes. They're provisioned energy to the cells of our epithelium. They're the main source of energy for the epithelial cells. Important role in modulating immunity and inflammatory tone. Other very important products of the gut microbiota are secondary bile acids. Gut microbiota transformed the primary bile acids that our body produced into the secondary bile acids that again have to do then with a lot of different functions. Indals, hormones and neurotransmitters, etc. These are micro-associated molecular patterns, which are some mostly external molecules in the cell walls of the bacteria that are what the immune system is going to recognize. And then there will be lots of responses to that. So as you can see, there's a lot of interactions with many important factors and that can be quite overlapping. So it's a very complex issue that we're dealing with in trying to separate all of these potential influences of the gut microbiota. Another important consequence of this is that of course, if we disturb this community with something like antibiotics for instance, we're going to affect a lot of different things. We're going to increase our susceptibility to infections because we're going to be disrupting this barrier to infection. We're going to disrupt the immune balance. So this can result in lots of different types of immune related diseases. And we're going to also affect many physiological processes that can result in deregulated metabolism and then eventually in obesity, metabolic syndrome, etc. And the problem is that actually our modern lifestyle does indeed affect the composition of the gut microbiome in numerous ways. We've already mentioned use of antibiotics, but that's by no means the only one. As we've heard, many of us have a poor diet. We have in general decreased microbial exposure compared to ancestors because of many reasons, lifestyle reasons especially in childhood. And it's been seen in the last decades that as one Western countries have been able to successfully control many infectious diseases at the same time there's been a very significant rise in other types of diseases such as the non-communicable diseases that we're talking about here. So all types of autoimmune diseases, atopic related diseases, inflammation related diseases have been steadily augmenting in the last decades and these are very likely related phenomena. And so many of these diseases have actually been linked to alterations in the gut microbiome. This does not mean that we know exactly how the alterations in the gut microbiome result in these diseases, but in some cases we do have some clues, but in most cases this is at the state of correlations right now. But there are studies that link alterations in the microbiome to various psychological disorders, to development of cancers, clearly to all types of allergies, cardiovascular disease, obviously obesity and metabolic syndrome, all kinds of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases, NAFLD, liver disease, asthma, etc. In particular this is also very relevant if we look at early childhood because we know that there's factors such as cesarean sections and formula feeding that are have also augmented in Western countries that are very relevant for the actual development of the microbiome and if babies develop an unbalanced microbiome then that can have lifelong influences in the risk of all these kinds of diseases that we've already mentioned. So it is very important in the future to learn to work in ways that are much safer for the microbiome that are not as aggressive to the microbiome so basically learning to use less and better antibiotics and also learning how to modulate the microbiome with strategies that might include diet and probiotics, so foods and food supplements that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and especially apply these as early as possible because the windows of opportunity for microbiome modulation clearly are going to be best employed in as early as gestation but also during the early years of life. Obviously diet is going to be a very important factor in all of these it's been shown that diet has a very strong influence for instance in risk of allergies in particular the Mediterranean diet in children has been linked with a lower risk of food allergies asthma and atopy and this is thought to be likely related to the high content of fruit cereals in legumes in this diet which are things that have a high content of fiber which one fermented by intestinal bacteria produces butyrate and other short chain fatty acids which as I mentioned are very important products of the gut microbiome for our physiology. Then on the contrary the western diet has been linked with a higher incidence of allergic disease likely as a result of a reduction in the levels of fiber and therefore butyrate. So there are many studies that we could go through here but I would like to focus on what we've been doing here in the project in stands for health. So one of our approaches has been an in vitro approach to trying to understand the effects of food on on gut microbiome so this is something that allows us to look at the effect of specific foods which would be very difficult to disentangle from intervention studies and so what we've done is a very large series of in vitro and the digestion and fermentation experiments using 55 different foods cooked in different ways because one of our main interests has also been related to the effect of cooking methods so up to 159 combinations of foods and different cooking methods and we looked at this with three different individuals each so this actually for for adults and then an even more complex set of experiments for for children and this has allowed us to actually identify some specific bacteria that are modulated by specific foods bacteria that augment or decrease with some specific foods this is a summary of our results one result that is really standing out is that the effect of plant-based foods and the effect of animal-based foods even in vitro is very remarkably different in particular for a particular class of or family rather of bacteria called the lactose piracy which are a very important component of the gut microbiome we see that the effects of animal and plant-based foods are very different so here for instance three main examples where vegetable and animal fats fish and cheese clearly augment this type of bacteria versus vegetables fruits and cereal based foods we've also been able to use this data to try to predict microbial metabolites produce urine food fermentation this is the work of the group of francis that he will be talking about later but we've been able in the project to develop a metabolic network model that predicts the metabolites produced by a person's individual gut microbiota and the nutrients of the nutrients of its specific food and here I'm showing you for instance that in the group of children that we've been analyzing we had children with different health conditions and with this metabolic network model we've been able to detect metabolites that are produced differently by the different groups of children so taking into account their gut composition with in this case with the same nutrients they're clearly producing different series of metabolites so this is the type of information that we need for developing more and more personalized nutrition programs another as I was saying another important aim of our experiments was to try to understand the impact of cooking methods on the effect of foods and the gut microbiome so what we detected in this case is that we got very different results for the three individuals that we that we analyzed so it seems that the effects of cooking methods are going to be highly personalized and this is going to need much more much more research in the future but we clearly were able to find some effects of the different types of cooking methods on the bacteria that were being favored with specific foods so in case I'm just showing a couple of examples for meat we saw that fried meat versus boiled and grilled was favoring different types of bacteria sometimes or actually in all cases we all we only saw this effect in a particular individual here the same for certain tubers we could see effects of a specific type of cooking method fried versus boiled and roasted but these were only detected in one individual so this is likely as I said very personalized very depending on the type of food and also on the individual microbiota so this is going to need a lot of further work this is a bit of a summary of all of our general results so here we're presenting for the three individuals that the most different cooking methods in every case so for instance if we look at meat in the an individual three the largest difference were between boiled meat and roasted meat and these were the bacteria that were differentially abundant in each of these cases so this is the type of data that that we've been gathering and that will be will help refine personalized nutrition programs so in general the main conclusions of this work I would say would be that the composition of the gut microbiota can definitely be altered using specific foods despite degrading their individual variability we saw trends that we definitely could recover in all of the individuals analyzed plant and animal based foods favor very different gut bacteria in particular one of the strongest effects that we saw was an animal fats favors some beneficial bacteria but also some disease associated ones so it's not all good or bad that's why it's going to be very important to learn to modulate how we use specific foods and cooking methods clearly we could see important effects but these were highly individualized another aspect that we are investigating and that while many groups are investigating is the effects of dietary supplements and in particular instance for health one thing that we've focused on is the effect of tannins with a particular kind of polyphenols supplied by our colleagues and so we've done several studies now looking at the effect of tannins both looking at foods enriched with tannins and tannin extracts by themselves and we've seen that indeed tannins have beneficial effects in the gut microbiota um we see that they produce an increase in beneficial bacteria in this case agarmancia for instance this is something we observe with all food matrices and also this resulted in a booster effect on short chain fatty acid production and in the case of the tannin extracts we were also able to look at the correlation between tannins and short chain fatty acid production and specific bacteria so the bacteria that we actually saw increasing were actually correlated both with short chain fatty acid production and actually also with antioxidant activity obviously we're not the only people looking at this kind of things there's many studies also that utilize animal models so in our case our work was based on in vitro fermentations but there are many studies that use animal models that have also been able to demonstrate the importance of different types of of probiotic substances on the for modulating the gut microbiome and this is related symptoms for instance this is a an early work by the group of Kani and Elzen here in Belgium actually where they were able to to show that there have been oxalan in in obese mice in a model of obese mice could modulate bacteria and that this correlated with several kinds of beneficial aspects on the host adipose tissue and on the host metabolic parameters another example of this would be a work in which I was involved recently in another European project where we looked at the effect of mastija which is a resin produced by a Greek tree that has been used since antiquity and also in mice we could show that it had an important effect on gut microbiota diversity and in this case in the symptoms of non-alcoholic liver disease obviously very important for all of these are studies that utilize human interventions and we're going to hear a little bit about the ones in our project now but a lot of different groups are working on this also for instance with mastija we also did a human intervention and with tanins as I mentioned we also did a human intervention actually as part that stands for health and we showed similar results to those that we had in in vitro so just to conclude future directions that we can talk a little bit more about now in the in the discussion session it's going to be very important to understand better the individual variation in how the microbiome behaves and how it responds to foods some of these may have to do of course with interactions with genetics but also we need to understand interactions between bacteria themselves and although I think we've done a lot of progress in our project but we need to further improve predictions on metabolic output further improve how we actually include this into personalized diet programs and you know keep improving the translation of all of this research so thanks to my group and to the stands for health colleagues and I don't know if they're saying for a few questions thank you very much billar


Amen, keep your place in Luke chapter 12. We will get back to there in a few minutes, but we're talking about, we're continuing the, if I were the devil sermon series this evening with part number four tonight. So we've gone through three parts. We're talking about Paul Harvey's essay from the 60s and going through each of the parts of the essay and seeing it was an essay on the state of our country. And if I were the devil, the things that he would do to bring the United States down and we've stepped through the essay. So far we've talked about how the devil has corrupted the churches in the United States. We've looked at how the devil has corrupted the Bible, the word of God and cause people to doubt the word of God in this country. And we've looked at the media and how the media has just desensitized us to sin in this country and has just pulled us away from the Bible and just the media just keeps getting worse and worse and making us less and less and less sensitive to sin, which is the opposite of what the Bible will do, by the way. So let's continue this evening. And this evening is a little bit different. And one of the things that you're gonna realize when we do the book series and we do these sermon series on these other essays, look, these essays and these books that we do sermon series is on, they're not the Bible. So they're not going to be infallible. It is a matter of fact, the next paragraph that I'm gonna read you and we're gonna preach on this evening, Paul Harvey had wrong. He didn't understand. He misunderstood this next part. So let me read this next portion of Paul Harvey's if I were the devil for you this evening, quote. If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves and nations at war with themselves until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings, I'd have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. So Paul Harvey here is talking about the family, the churches and the nations and the division that exists within those things. He's talking about divisions within families. He's talking about divisions within churches. And then he's talking about divisions within nations. And he's saying if I were the devil, I would cause these divisions is what he's saying. And I'm gonna show you this evening that he actually had that wrong in his essay. I'm gonna show you this evening, we're gonna talk about division this evening. We're gonna talk about where it comes from, why it exists, how are we supposed to handle it? How are we supposed to handle division? Look down at Luke chapter 12 and look at verse number 51. Many people have this wrong today. And this is one of those things that is super easy to slip into, to fall into. Because you know what? It sounds nice. It sounds, you know, to embrace our differences and to all come together, it sounds like a good idea. But let's look at what the Bible says. Look at Luke chapter 12 and look at verse 51 towards the end of the chapter. Paul Harvey, he was seeing a problem but he misinterpreted the cause of the problem. He missed it. Look at verse number 51. Jesus says, suppose ye that I have come to give peace on earth. I tell you nay, but rather division. There is a fundamental misunderstanding today about division. Look at verse 52. For from henceforth there should be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son. Now we're talking about division within a family here. And the son against the father, the mother against the daughter and the daughter against the mother. The mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Look, the Bible here is telling us and this is what Paul Harvey had backwards is that it is not the devil that brings division. It is not Satan that brings division. It's Jesus that brings division. You say, but peace on earth, peace on earth. That sounds good. We'll go to Luke 2 in verse 14. We just talked about this. It's such a great time for this sermon too. During the Christmas time and the holidays, look at Luke chapter 2 in verse 14. The Bible says in Luke chapter 2, this is the Christmas story right here. This is the angel talking to the shepherds. We just looked at this. Glory to God in verse 14. Glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace. Good will torment. Look at, well, peace on earth. Peace on earth, isn't that the goal? No, let's read it. Look at what it says. It says, on earth, peace. What does that mean? It means good will towards men. God's good will towards men. That is the coming of Jesus Christ was God's good will towards us. This was not talking about world peace amongst men here. This is talking about God's peace towards us. The opposite of John 3.36, which is God's wrath abiding upon us. Instead, God sending Jesus Christ to reconcile man to himself is God's good will towards us. It's the best will that he could ever have towards us. So, I mean, what about peace amongst men? Isn't that a good thing? I mean, it seems kind of turned to James chapter 4. It seems kind of messed up that, you know, we would, especially when the reasons for war are bad, why would Jesus be against peace amongst men? Look at James chapter 4. I mean, the Bible even tells us, in such great detail, the Bible tells us why men go to war. The Bible tells us why there's war.  Why did it, all war is because of this right here. In one way or another, all war is because of James chapter 4. Look at verse number one. From whence come wars and fighting amongst you? Come they not, hence, even of your lust that war in your members? So, look, this is why two men war with each other. This is why two clans war with each other. This is why two, you know, nations war with each other.  You fight and war yet you have not because you ask not. He talks about asking, but look, land, money, you lust for things. Power, resources, you don't have things. One group doesn't have things and they go to war, that's what they do. So why, so war is caused by the lust of man. So isn't peace amongst men? I mean, shouldn't that be? I mean, that sounds great. To say that we should all be at peace. But here's the thing, peace between men was not Jesus' goal. You have to remember that and I'm gonna show you why. You have to remember when people, because like people throw this stuff out at Christmastime in the holidays and Thanksgiving, just peace on earth, we all need to just, you know, love each other and all come together and people are gonna throw this stuff at you as if this just, we all just need to be at peace with everyone and everything all the time. That was not Jesus' goal at all. Jesus' goal was to show God's good will towards men and to provide a way for us, man, to have peace with God. That is why Jesus came. It is a matter of peace between whom is what you always have to remember. Go to Matthew chapter nine and verse 37. Remember, look, remember our universal truth from this morning, Matthew chapter nine, verse 37, where Jesus said, then he said unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. This is the problem right here.  It's not like we're ever gonna achieve this point where we're all just, we got them all and we're all laborers now and there's no more harvest. This is a universal fact, verse 37, that Jesus was talking about. And then he says, pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he sends forth laborers into his harvest. So Jesus here is saying, because there's laborers and because there's a harvest, this is why, and I'll get into more detail on this in a few minutes, this is why there can never be peace amongst men. That's why Jesus wasn't for it. Jesus was never here to bring peace between men. There's laborers and there's a harvest. So Jesus here explains in Luke chapter 12, he's like, look, I'm here to bring division. I mean, the Bible tells us, and I've preached on it over and over and over again, that we need to be separate. We're to be a peculiar people. Come out from among them and be ye separate. The Bible says, look, in order for us to be separate, there has to be a dividing. There must be a dividing. So like as the world changes and as the world gets worse and worse and worse, the dividing is gonna have to get more and more and more. I mean, you think about it from the perspective of churches. We talked about this in one of the parts of this sermon series. Look, in churches today, there should be division. You say, why? 99% of churches have a false gospel. So look, the moment a church starts preaching falsely, there should be division there. The problem today is that people will not divide. That's the problem. Look, all of these false churches should be empty. If people were following the Bible. If people were following the Bible, all these people would have divided from the false church. That is what Jesus causes. And anybody that is following Jesus will be divided. But that's where it's gotten us today. People did not divide. So look at the state of the churches today.  Look at families, imagine going to visit relatives over Christmas time and not attending church at the Catholic church that they go to or the Lutheran church that they go to. You know what?   Go to Proverbs chapter 17. But guess what? This is such a great time to talk about this topic as well. Go to Proverbs chapter 17. Proverbs chapter 17. Look at Proverbs chapter 17 and verse number 17. Because look, families within families, when I'm talking about families, I'm talking about people that you're related to by blood. You know, cousins, uncles, aunts, parents, brothers, sisters. But look what the Bible says in verse 17. A friend loveeth at all times and a brother is born for adversity. Look, here's the thing. You say brothers and sisters. Why, what is the Bible talking about here? Brothers and sisters, they grew up together. Shouldn't they just be on the same page with everything? It's like, why wouldn't a brother and a sister just be on the same page with everything? But look, people grow up. People grow up and they adopt different cultures. You know what they do? They marry different people. And they end up with different beliefs. They end up with a different culture. Then they're brothers and sisters. But even though they all grew up together, happens all the time. Then there's situations where there's issues when they were growing up that cause issues, you know, when they're later in life and there's hard feelings. I mean, maybe somebody was treated badly when they were a child by another sibling or something, things their parents did. Look at the Bible of parents that favored children. Don't ever favor your children. I mean, if you favor one child over another, maybe you don't even mean to do it.  You will cause them. That's a cause for division among siblings. Look, they're gonna have plenty of other causes of division. But don't give them reasons. The point is there's gonna be a lot of issues between siblings. There's a lot of division. The Bible is telling us that in Proverbs 17, 17. This is never gonna change. All right, other than obeying your parents in Ephesians chapter six, other than obeying your parents, by the way, unto the Lord, the Bible says in Ephesians chapter six, other than obeying your parents unto the Lord, there's really no special treatment given to your blood relatives in the Bible. That's a hard one for people to understand. That's a hard one for people to act out and follow in their lives. But that is the case. I'll show you more about it in a few minutes. But you're just not going to find this philosophy in the Bible that you are just to not divide from people because of Jesus, because they're related to you. That's what Proverbs 17, 17 is telling you. It's telling you that look, it's just, just because there's no special treatment for that. That's what Proverbs 17 is saying. So families, and Luke 12 is saying the same thing. Jesus right away, he says, I'm here to cause division. And then he goes right away to where the hardest division's gonna be. Right in the families. Father, son, mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law. He just goes into the whole thing. So families are gonna have division and guess what? Jesus will cause it. Jesus will cause that division. Go to Acts chapter 17. So you see Jesus causes division in families. Jesus should cause division in churches, but unfortunately people just decide to not divide and we see what happens to the church. Look at nations. Look at Acts chapter 17. Now look, everybody has race wrong today. We have to get the definition of race in the Bible. According to the Bible, correct. Look at Acts chapter 17. Acts chapter 17. Look at verse 26. The Bible says this. In verse 26 it says, And yet made one of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth and at determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their inhabitation. That they should seek the Lord if happily they might feel after him and find him though he be not far from every one of us. So this is very interesting right here. First of all, there's many nations. There's many nations, but guess what? All the nations, nation is what most people would call race today. The Bible uses the word nation, but there's only one race, the human race. The Bible never talks about anything to do with skin color or that there's an African race and a European, no, there's none of that. It's many nations, one blood. One race, that is what the Bible says. And look, it is any one of these nations that they seek the Lord, he can be found. That's what the Bible says. All right, now look, turn to Numbers chapter nine. There's many nations, one race. And really what the Bible is talking about when it talks about nations, it's still not talking about skin color.   What it's talking about is culture. What it's talking about is culture in the Bible. And this is where the division comes in and there should be division amongst cultures. Look at Numbers chapter nine. Even the children of Israel, if there was somebody from a different nation, then I'm gonna show you that that means culture. You know, the nation had a different culture. That was the whole problem. It wasn't because he was a Hittite. It was because of what culture the Hittites had. It was because of the Hittite's culture. Look at Numbers chapter nine and verse 14. Because if somebody came from another nation into the children of Israel and they accepted the culture of the children of Israel, meaning they accepted their God, they were to bring them in just as anyone else. Look at Numbers chapter nine and verse 14. And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, means stay among you and will keep the Passover unto the Lord. See, that's huge right there. Basically what he's saying is that this stranger, if somebody comes from another nation and they adopt the Lord, they get saved and they worship the Lord and they give up their pagan culture, whatever they came from, according to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do, ye shall have one ordinance both for the stranger and for him that was born in the land. Basically saying that if somebody comes in, look, if somebody comes in here, they get saved and, you know, look, they're just one of us. That's it. That's what the Bible is teaching here. And this further backs up, Acts 17, that it's talking about different nations, different cultures were the problem. Okay, color of skin had nothing to do with it. It's idiotic. It's not in the Bible. It was about the culture of following the Lord, following the one true God instead of all these pagan cultures. That was everything. That's why they weren't supposed to marry amongst them and they were supposed to be, what? They're supposed to be separated. They're supposed to be divided from these people. It was all about their culture. The stranger had to conform to God's culture and then they were one of the people. That was it. So look, here's the funny thing. All cultures are not compatible. All cultures are not compatible and the reason is, the reason that there has to be division turned to John 14. The reason that there has to be division because here's the thing, folks, if everybody comes together, look, somebody's changing. If you're over here and I'm over here and we're supposed to come together, somebody's gotta change. And it's always a Christian that has to change. Just to answer that for you. Look it, but here's the thing. All cultures are not compatible because of this. John 14.6, Jesus said unto him, you've probably heard this a million times. I am the way, the truth and the life. Okay, that's great. But then guess what? No man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I mentioned that out of soul winning today. Look, there's no other way to go to heaven. There is no other way than through Jesus. The Buddhist, the Muslim, the whatever, they may be the nicest people in the world. They may be your neighbor. They may have nice kids. They may have, look, there's no other way to heaven. Then through Jesus, that's why Jesus is the divider. Because that by itself. So that's why we can't put aside our differences. Because that's a universal truth. There's only one way and it's through Jesus. You know what I mean? Isn't that what we're told today though? Put aside your differences. Turn to 2 Corinthians chapter six. Ultimately, but here's the answer. Here is the answer on why we can't put aside our differences and why there always, here's the answer to why there will always be division for the Christian. This is why right here. Okay, this is the base reason. Look at 2 Corinthians chapter six in verse number 14. And ultimately why peace is Satan's philosophy, not Jesus's. Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Okay, so there it says believers and unbelievers are not to be yoked together. Okay, there we go. But he just continues. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? So we compare believers and unbelievers with righteousness and unrighteousness. And what communion, now we go, what communion hath light with darkness? Now we see light with darkness. We see believers, unbelievers. We see righteousness, unrighteousness. We see light, we see darkness, but really it comes down to this. Right here, the last verse. What concord hath Christ with Belial? Really it's Jesus or Satan. That's what it is. Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Look, there must be division because, here's why. There must be division because Satan and Christ both exist. That's why. That's it. Let's pray. That is why there always must be division. But it is Christ that calls. We're not done. See, there will be division because Christ and Satan are both real. And Christ is the only way to heaven. But it is Christ that calls for the division. This is super important. It is not Satan saying separate from Jesus. No, it is Jesus saying divide. I came to divide. I came to divide you out. This is Harvey's misunderstanding in this part of if I were the devil because the devil, turn to Jeremiah chapter six, the devil is the one calling for peace. The devil is the one trying to get everyone to come together. It's Satan. So when you hear this stuff that tickles your ear, come together, find middle ground, embrace our diversity. That is Satan. That is not Jesus. You must remember that. Look at the prophets. Look at the prophets. Go to Jeremiah chapter six. What was Jeremiah doing? What was Jeremiah doing? Jeremiah was going into this nation and he was just saying destruction is coming. He's like, destruction is coming.  They're gonna invade us. He's just bad news, bad news, bad news. He's like, destruction, war, destruction, war. He's like, we're gonna be invaded and we're gonna lose. I mean, imagine the prideful Israelites who are like, oh, we're the best nation under God and he's over there. We're gonna be invaded. We're gonna lose. Look, he was not popular. He did not have a popular life. Look at verse 13. Look at verse 13. Jeremiah chapter six, verse 13. For from the least of them, even unto the greatest of them, everyone is given to covetousness. You should underline that in your Bible and I'll tell you why in a few minutes. And from the prophet, even unto the priest, everyone dealeth falsely. They have healed also the herd of thy daughter of thy people slightly saying, meaning they're telling of something that makes them feel better slightly. It makes them feel better right now. We're talking about that with junk food earlier. Junk food kind of makes you feel better right now and then later you're like, ah! And then even further out later, you're like, oh, I have heart disease.  But right away it makes you feel better. This is verse 14. They've healed also the herd of my daughter of my people slightly saying, peace, peace, when there is no peace. Imagine, imagine a huge army coming towards your city. Just, but the army's like, you know, they're like two weeks out.  And for 13 days you could just, you could be healed slightly but then you're gonna be destroyed. So they're saying peace, peace, but guess what, God was angry. There was no peace. There was no peace. Look at verse 15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed. Neither could they blush. Therefore, and here it is, therefore they shall fall among them that fall at the time that I, this is the Lord, that I visit them, they shall be cast down, sayeth the Lord. Look, these people didn't wanna divide. They wanted to continue. They wanted to continue in peace. It's the same today. This is us today, right here. Verse 13 through verse 15, this is us. They didn't wanna divide. They just wanted to say peace, peace. They just wanted to continue the way that they were continuing in their abominations and their nation, they just wanted the nation just to go on. Why? But the problem was what? God, that was the problem. That was the problem. Look, coming together, common ground, always means you going to them. That's what it always means. Look at verse 13. Why did they say peace? Why did they say peace? Here's why you underline that. Because every one of them is given to covetousness because they just kinda wanted to go along. They're making good money. They're kinda living this good life. This is why you're seeing this in our country today.  People are gonna put up with mandates. They're gonna put up with wickedness. They're gonna put up with perversion. They're not gonna cause trouble as long as they can just keep their little life going that they've got.  As long as I get mine, that's what's happening today. That's why men, that's why even unsaved men that know all this perversion and this homosexuality and all this garbage, they all know it's wrong. They know it's wrong. They're like, I got mine, I got mine. I gotta protect mine. But guess what? It's all coming down. It's all coming down. They'll just accept things to keep their comfortable life. But it's going away because in verse 15, I will visit them and cast them down. The Lord says, the problem is God. The problem is God. That's why it doesn't work. That's why there must be division. Turn to 1 Thessalonians chapter five. The last days, look, the last days will be no different. You wanna know, like, we were talking about prophecy and the thing with prophecy and end times prophecy in general, it's just kinda like, it's gonna be no different than the things that we've seen except worse. I mean, you don't have to be, you don't have to sit here and prevent all these new things about Bible prophecy because it's basically gonna be the exact same thing that we've been seeing except worse. But it's the same patterns. It's the same thing. Look at 1 Thessalonians chapter five. Look at verse number one. But of the times and seasons, he's talking about the end times. Brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they say, look at this. When they say peace and safety, then this is the guy telling you peace and safety when the army's two weeks away. You're gonna believe them until day 13.9. And then sudden destruction cometh upon them. As travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape. Look, the last days are gonna be no different than what was happening in Jeremiah's time that are what's happening in our time.   This is why there must always be division. Now look, I don't know if Harvey knew that the division that he was beginning to see, I think that he probably knew that the division that he was beginning to see was a sign of a falling society. Because that's kind of the theme of his essay, if I were the devil, is just that this society in the United States was falling. But guess what? He missed the mark on this one because he put division into his essay. But here's the thing, the division itself that he was seeing is a good thing. It's a sign, because look, as the society falls, what we have to worry about is when the division stops is when the division goes away. The division that Harvey was seeing was a physical view of God's remnant. Because Jesus causes that division. So we need to embrace division tonight. I mean, why in the world would we be discouraged or shy away from something that Jesus was for? Think about that. He literally said he came to bring it. Look, whenever Jesus says I came to bring, I'm like, I want whatever that is. When Jesus came to bring something, we need to embrace whatever the next thing is that he says. And he says, I came to bring division. Look, and here's the thing. It should be something that we're for. And it's really like a sign of biblical maturity, of Christian maturity. And it's a sign that we're following the correct path. You know, with our families, our churches, and guess what? Our nation. Turn to Daniel chapter nine. Just remember, let me show you who's trying to bring peace. Let me show you who's trying to bring peace. Just remember, it is Satan that is trying to bring peace on earth. Remember the sermon on convergence. He is the one that is trying to converge everything. He's trying to converge morality. He's trying to converge organizations. He's trying to converge everything because guess what? If everybody converges together, that means that people don't really believe anything. And everything's up in the air. Look at Daniel chapter nine. It is Satan himself that will ultimately bring peace on earth. That will bring peace between men. Look at Daniel chapter nine in verse 27. And look, this is a sad time because any time that there's this massive peace amongst wicked rulers, it means that the remnant is either small, silent, or both of the Christians. Look at Daniel chapter nine in verse 27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to seize. And for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate, even unto the consummation, and that determined shall be poured out upon the desolate. Turn to Exodus chapter 23. This is talking about the seven year peace that the Antichrist will bring in in Daniel's 70th week. This is end times prophecy. It is the Antichrist working for Satan that will bring this type of world peace. Look at Exodus chapter 23. But God, God has always been against this. Look at verse 32. Look at, look at, I mean, we could read dozens and dozens and dozens of verses like this. But Exodus chapter 23, look at verse 32. Talking about the, you know, we're talking about the Antichrist making a covenant with as many people as he possibly can. He's just out there, he wants to make this huge covenant, Exodus 23. Look what God says about the nation surrounding Israel. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. He's like, no, there is no agreement. There is to be only division. God said make no covenant. There's no compromise between the Lord and the Godless and the Pagan. There is no compromise between Christ and Belial. There is no middle ground. There must be division. Division is from Christ. Unity is Satan's game. Don't fall into it. Don't fall into it. Look, go to Exodus chapter 32. The holidays are especially bad for this. The holidays are especially bad for this. It's when, you know, everyone comes together. Everyone comes together at the time of the holidays and we're gonna put aside our differences. We're gonna let the kids play together. We've been, look, we've been down all these roads. We have been down all these roads. We're gonna embrace, we're gonna embrace our diversity.  It makes no logical sense at all. We're gonna embrace our differences. Look, if you are here and I'm here and we will both leave our positions like neither one of us believed where we were. That's what that means. It's just on a logical, a logical level. But look, just remember that Jesus is the one divider that will cause all other divisions. Please do not forget that. Now, go to Exodus chapter 32. We had the golden calf incident where the people, they started worshiping, you know, they left the Lord and they started worshiping a golden calf after Moses had gone for just a few days and the people leave the Lord. And look, God is angry.  Look at verse 26, after Moses comes down, then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and he said, who is on the Lord's side? Let him come unto me and look what happened. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. So this is interesting. You know, my wife, my wife actually has a theory that this is why, because this is before the tribe of Levi was chosen to be the priest. And my wife has a theory that's as good as any I've ever, ever, you know, heard. It's very valid, in my opinion, that this is one of the reasons, at least, that the tribe of Levi was chosen to be the priesthood. Because look, they were, look, who's on the Lord's side? Levi was there. Yes, they were Moses' tribe, I get that. But look what he says. He says, who was on the Lord's side and the tribe of Levi shows up. But then look at verse number 27. And he said unto them, thus saith the Lord God of Israel, put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. Now there's two points I want to bring up here. He says, who's on the Lord's side and he, what does he do? He causes division and they divide to the Lord.  And this is a hard truth right here. This is a hard truth that a lot of people have a hard time swallowing. That's why I told you it takes Christian maturity to swallow this pill. But this is the Bible. What does it say? It says, they went out and they slayed every man his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. Did it say, give your brother a break? Because you're related to him? No, there was no quarter given to family. You know what the division was? It was, who went to Moses and who didn't? That's it. And the people that remained, it didn't matter if they were family. It didn't matter if they were friends. It didn't matter if they were neighbors. What mattered was they weren't on the Lord's side. There was no, that's a hard truth that people need to swallow. That Christians today need to swallow. And here's the next one. Here's the next one. Think about the sides. What did we just sing? We're just saying one of my favorite songs. You know, we're on the winning side. We're on the winning side. You should go out and you should listen to Curtis Hudson's sermon where he sings, I'm on the winning side. And I'm telling you, he's saying that song and a sermon just shortly before he died. And if that doesn't move you, you don't have a soul. Well, let me tell you something. We're on the winning side, but if God showed up today, which side would he see you on? Which side will your kids see that you're on? If you can't swallow the pill of point number one, you have to recognize this truth. It's a hard truth, but guess what? Learn it and embrace it. Learn it and embrace it. And let me promise you something, because this is the side that I've passed through. Your holidays, your Christmases, your thanksgivings will move from stress to joy. That's what will happen to you. And guess what? You'll be on the winning side. But make sure you're not just on the Lord's side with your mouth and the things that you say. Make sure that you're actually over there. And that's what you need to do, is look, folks, Christ brings division. He tells us that. Look, it's an easy thing to say, it's a hard thing to do. I get it. The Word of God. One person follows it, others don't. But guess what? They're offended by you following it. There's the division. If, look, I follow the Word of God, you don't. Whatever, right? No, wrong, because they're upset that you do. So division is the answer. It must be the answer. That's why Jesus brought it. That's why Jesus is for it. And that's why Satan is against it, because he wants you stopping the division and going over there. But then guess what? You're on the wrong side. You're on the wrong side. So Harvey saw a problem. He put his finger on the wrong culprit. Jesus is the one causing division. When we see division today, thank God for it. That means that there's still men that are standing up.  I'm on the Lord's side. I'm not for this. I'm not going together. I'm not coming together in all this garbage. Like, I'm on the Lord's side and I'm gonna stay divided. What's by our heads that have a word of prayer?


Tired of the everyday grind? Have a dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape. Escape, designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure. In command of a ship sailing with sealed orders into an ocean fraught with danger, while the enemy whom you'll seek is lying in wait for the moment when they will close in and strike, leaving you no escape. Listen now, as escape brings you Anthony Ellis' exciting story clear for action. I know the Caribbean as well as my own quarterdecks. Somewhere in these waters, there is the French loop of war, the Harfleur. From all available reports she carries 20 guns more or less, and she has taken or sunk at least 10 of our merchant men. She has to be stopped. A week and up at this time afford war with either France or England. Therefore, you will under no conditions attack, unless absolute proof is offered of an aggression against one of our ships or your own. Exactly. But she'd hardly be likely to open fire on a merchant man under our noses, sir. She was not captain or your orders. Yes, sir, when do I sail, sir? You will proceed with all haste to the Bahamas Group vicinity. The Harfleur seems to operate from a base situated near there. Very well, sir. Wish you luck, sir. Thank you, sir. Good afternoon. Good morning, sir. Mr. Quinn. Morning, sir. Mr. McCracky, you've charted the course. Aye, sir. Good. We'll get on the way immediately. Square away. Aye, sir. You will have a look out, keep a sharp watch. Aye, sir. Now thank you to order gun crew exercise again this morning. Aye, sir. Good afternoon, sir. Jonathan. Making about seven knots, sir. Excellent. At this rate... He's a big one, sir. Close hauled coming up fast. Better than a frigate, I'd say, sir. Master! Mr. McCracky. Aye, aye, sir. If you carry one... Ah, that's what I like. Close on. I want no trouble with him, Mr. McCracky. But we'll have gun crews to the rest station. I'll attend to it myself, sir. And I believe that she's partisan. I don't like it, captain. She must have seen our colors by now. She's laying a course to pass within range. Probably wants to hail us. Nothing more. Mike, hold that quarter, Jack, if you'll please. Are you shortening sail? Yes. We'll come about, helm. Aye, sir. Mr. Quinn, may I speaking trumpet, please? Thank you. Sir, if they let go with a broadside we're done for. Those must be 42 funders. Mr. McCracky, I'm aware of that. Set us back on course, captain, and I'll blow on the kingdom counter. Mr. McCracky, unless you have a desire to join the midshipmen, you will allow me to give the orders. Back to the main capsule! We'll leave to you, Mr. McCracky. But, sir, we... Eve, too, Mr. McCracky. I tell you, he's flagship of the West Indies squadron, huh? You'll no doubt be wanting to put a press gang aboard us. Don't worry, Duncan. I served with them once, and I'll happily kill the first man who tries to make me do it again, sir.  Have the men stand a quarter, Jonathan. Aye, sir. You're not going to pipe them over the side, are you, sir? I am not, Duncan. Here they come. Will you look at that pipsqueak standing at the stern? That Duncan is an officer of His Majesty's Navy. Hey, he looks as always been glued together. Duncan, control yourself. Not a word out of you. That's an order. Aye, sir. Captain Steele? Yes. Lieutenant Simpson of His Majesty's ship, Princess. What can I do for you, Lieutenant? I shall come to the point, sir. What are you doing in these waters? I do not see that that concerns you, Lieutenant. England is at war, sir. Any ship concerns us. So I have noticed. Exactly what you mean by that, Captain? Only that my government has been well aware of your impression of American seamen and of the British Navy. That is a lie. We impress only English desserters. A questionable point, Lieutenant. As a matter of fact, Captain, I have ordered to search your ship for just such men. Impossible. I beg your pardon. No, Lieutenant, you may not search. This is a warship of the United States Navy, and may I remind you that only by my courtesy are you at this moment aboard? I am. The interviewer is other, Lieutenant. You may return to your ship. Why? Mr. McCrack, you will escort Lieutenant Simpson over the side. Aye, sir.  Come along, Lieutenant. In this position, Lord Rose, this person is kindly with Admiral Grave. Please send my compliments to the admiral and tell him that if I ever catch him molesting American ships, I shall consider it an act of piracy. And we'll see that he hangs from his own yard arm. Well, we shall deal with that. I'll have you there. You must take your hands off of me, my lord. Our guest is away, sir. Yes, Mr. Quinn, yes. All right, squad away. We're wasting time. Aye, sir. Right, sir. Right, sir. That's me, sir. And now you're out. Right, sir. Disappointing. We have to open fire. She's a wonderful target. Yes, but so are we, Duncan. You'll get your fight all right, but with a higher floor. Aye. Now I don't want to miss my breakfast. Call me when the islands are sighted. These islands were two days now. You think she'd be lying in so close? The British would have spotted her. I will take no chances, Johnathan. Well, shot and sail again. She shows her dangers here, but, sir, I wonder if... Now there, Johnathan, there. Beyond that sand spec, is it? Yeah, I see her. Yes, but that's not the high floor. On the cut, I would judge she's a brig. Rolling fast, sir. Whatever she is, she must be at ground. We'll run in as close as possible. I want to look at it. Sir, don't you think it... Don't you think it... Yes, Johnathan? Nothing, sir. Aye, sir. Catch the cutters! You will keep us covered with a bow, Chaser. Aye, sir. You think it might not be a trap? Well, it might, but we'll chance it. Watch for my signals. If you cite the Frenchman, put out immediately. Aye, sir. Duncan! Leave your sea legs here. We're going ashore for our little walk. Into escape in just a moment. But first, tomorrow night, the Lux Summer Theater stars Fred Mac Murray. Listen on most of the same CBS radio stations tomorrow night. The Lux Summer Theater. And now, back to escape. Making as peaceful a voyage as you could wish for. Bound home for Providence. Let me run into a Frenchie. Ah, Fleur. We've been searching for her. She hit her mizzen when we refused to heave, too. Luckily, a squall came up and we lost her. Ah, you were fortunate, Captain. Ah, I put in here for repairs. We hit the shores and run aground. We're in a mighty fix. How are your repairs proceeding? As you see, rigging a jewelry mess now. Bottom sound riding up. But what's a peaceful ship to do, I ask you, sir? Ah, being neutral these days. Well, they are difficult times, Captain. However, rest assured you will reach Fort Sacred. I hope so, sir. I hope so. Mikako is valuable. Ah, she certainly looks trim. She is, sir.  I wonder, sir... Oh, just a thought, McCracken. Just a thought. Ah, there's my daughter. She'll be happy to see you. Your daughter, sir? Certainly. Always sales with me. Fine sailor. Ah-ha. Jennifer! Yes, colonel? I want you to meet Captain Steel of the Panther. My pleasure, Captain. Miss Matthews, this is Lieutenant McCracken. You gentlemen are a welcome sight. Great. Thank you, ma'am. The Panther's after that Frenchie, the half-law she's got.  Oh, yes, that scurvy, blasted daughter. Forgive me, Captain. I forgot that, sure, I am a lady. Or at least supposed to be. Ah-ha. Why, ma'am, I hadn't noticed otherwise. That, sir, is the prettiest speech I have heard, and I am to eight months. Captain Matthews, may we go aboard your vessel? Of course. I shall like to further discuss the situation with you. Thank you, yes. Your help, sir, and yours, sir. Now, sir. Captain, how would you like to square a count with the half-law? I should like that, sir. I should like that very well. Well, a plan occurred to me, you're sure? I must warn you, though, that there's an element of danger both to you and your ship. Without your presence here, we'd probably never see America again. The Frenchman's still searching for us, there's no doubt. Yes, exactly. But let us suppose that you became a decoy. The bait in a sea trap. Go on, sir. Go on. I think we may safely presume that half-law does not know of the existence of my ship here in the Caribbean. Now, with your permission, I propose... Oh, we're not done. Sidi, Sidi Bosun. All right, lash him down, Bosun. Clear. That's it, sir. Thank you, Mr. McCrick. Handsomely, Mr. Handsomely. A round of grog for your men with my compliments. Aye, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll see to it. Four guns, Captain. Four guns where there should be none. Yes, but they must remain well-hidden until needed, sir. I couldn't have believed it. Four guns from your own ship to the old Salem. Oh, that Frenchman. Oh, we shall see, sir. And now I suggest that we observe Miss Jennifer's progress below. Aye. What a tale this will make. Oh. Sir, you make a powerful-looking woman, Lieutenant. Father. There. How do you like it, Captain? A delightful sight. Mistress Quinn, my compliments. No, sir. Miss Jennifer, there is no seamstress in Boston to equal you. Why, thank you, Captain. We shall go over the plan again. Mr. McCrick, below, if you please. Aye, sir. Ah, now then. Mr. Quinn and I will stay aboard the Salem with Captain Matthews. Well, it shall secure Gundex, then. Hey, Mr. Quinn. What a perfectly beautiful gun. Mr. Quinn is aware of his beauty. We have business, Mr. McCrack. Aye, sir. Now we shall need twenty good men from the Panther besides the gun crews already with us aboard the Salem. Mr. McCrack, you will be in command of the Panther. If possible, remain within masthead's side of us. Aye, sir. Miss Jennifer will sail with you. Aye, aye, sir. Yes. Mr. Quinn and the gun crews will be dressed in female costume and will make themselves plain to sight on deck. I hope that will lull the Frenchman into a sense of security and trust that they will not run out their guns. Good, good. Go on, sir. Salem's forecannon will be hidden. And to all appearances, she is still the peaceful merchant. And this time, when the half-lure cites us, we heed too. Yes, correct. You'll no doubt send a boarding party. And then our ladies engage the boarders, supported by myself and the rest of the men. And I think that is all. It is to be hoped, gentlemen, that after these preparations your enemy obliges with her bread. Yes, ma'am. Now, Mr. McCrack, we'll catch Salem off the shore immediately. If you please. Aye, sir. Mr. Quinn, you may remove your gown now. Oh, thank you, sir. And give the men from Panther their orders. I should like to get underway as soon as possible. Everything clear, Mr. McCrack? Aye, sir. Very well.  Aye, aye, sir. Good luck to you. Captain Matthews, thank you, lad. Goodbye, father. Captain Steele, would you honor me by wearing this ribbon on your sword? All right. I would be honored, ma'am. Thank you. Goodbye, Captain. Mr. McCrack? Aye, sir. Uh, Miss Jennifer, would you allow me to assist you over the side? Thank you, Lieutenant. I'll take good care of it, sir. Mr. McCrack? Yes, sir. Well, Captain Matthews, will you give the order to make sail? Aye. By the way, the bonus to the first man to set the plenchment. Fill in these waters, Captain. We'll find it. Never thought I'd be praying to see a Frenchie but at this minute, I'll give it. There you go, Helm. Mr. Quinn? Aye, sir. Get your men into their costumes lively now. Aye, sir. Yes, that's her. That's our ship, all right. Mr. Quinn, keep the men away from the guns. We want to arouse no suspicion. She's seen us. She's tacking over. Aye. You men below, we've said it. Make her think we're rattled and clumsy and trying to put her out. Aye. That'll bring our guns to bear on her starboard side, Captain. All right, let her fall off, Helm. All right, pour it a little. Well, most fetching will turn it. Here, let me adjust your bonnet for you. There, that's better. Thank you, sir. That pistol, Lieutenant, makes a bulge where it seems to me no bulge should be. Oh, well, we... Better, sir?  Now, as soon as the half-lure comes up, we need to. Have your men very distracted. In other words, behave like women, Mr. In the line of duty and seeing you order it, sir, I'll do it. Thank you, Jonathan. You know what to do when they board. Aye, sir. All right, take up your station.  And I, sir, and I. Back you sail, we're heaving through. He's on, Mr. Beam. Don't worry, Captain. They want this ship as a prize. He's already put over a long boat. Another one's coming around from the port quarter. I'd be obliged, sir, if you'd go to your cabin. This is our work. No, sir, this is my ship. I'm not young any more, but I won't miss this fight. Very well, sir. Then I suggest that you look to the priming of your pistol. Who is your captain? That's the meaning of this. We're a neutral vessel, American. This ship is a prize of l'empereur Napoléon. You will strike your color. Not while I'm alive. Mr. Quinn, report! Have them taken below. We'll transfer them to the panther. The floor's wearing into rakers. We'll be in trouble if she can. Captain, that's your ship closing in. Yes, the Frenchman's seen her too. Mr. Quinn, aim for a mass. We might get a lucky hit. Captain Steele, did you enjoy it, too? Yes, of course, Miss Matthews. Very tasty. Very. Well, I was just thinking it's getting late. Oh, no, Captain. You don't have to go yet. Well, I, of course, not my own. I'm afraid so. Mr. Quinn stands watch aboard the panther tonight, and you, Mr. McCrack, have repairs to make on the hot floor. Aye, sir. We'll stay home, too, tonight. Well, good night, Miss Matthews. Good night. I'd willingly join the crew of Salem for such cooking as you're. Thank you, Lieutenant. Good night, ma'am. Good night, Lieutenant Quinn. Hey, how are you coming, sir? Yes, gentlemen, of course. But, Captain, don't you remember? You promised to tell me of your exploits at sea. Oh, yes. Good night, Duncan. Aye, sir. Good night, sir. Jonathan. Good night, sir. Well, Miss Matthews, I... Jennifer, Captain. Jennifer. And now, supposing you start by telling me of your exploits.

All right, so here is the new pulley we're putting on That's the old pulley the 3.5. This is the new one. We're putting on the 3.25 pulley You can kind of see Definitely a size comparison Not a huge huge difference, but it's gonna make a I think at least another pound of boost Maybe a little bit more we will see Coming to blessed out there today We are in project storm HP tuners And we're doing some logging today We are planning on going down in pulley sizes. We're gonna put a smaller pulley on project storm and Try to turn things up a little bit more on this truck We're currently running the 3.5 pulley. We're gonna be trying out the 3.25 pulley today and see how much Pickup we get as far as boost. We should gain at least a pound Maybe two pounds Give or take on the pulley swap. So We're gonna check out the data log. We're gonna find out what we get So this first log is gonna be on the current setup on the 3.5 pulley And we're gonna do everything same day so we can get the exact comparison and try to Figure out exactly how much boost difference we're gonna see I'm special on this hot day. It is pretty toasty out here today again We'll make a pass real quick here on the old test strip See where we're at So here we go. We got the laptop going And we're just gonna make a couple of little pulls and See what kind of boost we're making today on this nice little hot summer day and Then swap pulleys and see what we can pick up With a pulley swap All right, so I'm gonna try to look at the boost gauge here and then when we get back to the fort we will look at the data and see Actual exact boost numbers per the data log But I'm just gonna kind of read off what I see on the boost gauge when we make this little pass right here Hopefully doesn't spin We're into we'll drive and We really don't care about the takeoff too much. We just want to see what we can make max boost wise here We go. All right, so we made the one little pole and From what I could see on the boost gauge. It looked like we were making about six pounds of boost We'll see what the actual data log tells us but it looked like around six pounds of boost Again, it's hot summer day So boost is not gonna be the best out here right now. Anyway winter time can make a big difference in your boost numbers for sure But it looked like around six pounds we will check out the data log See where we're at Stay tight. All right, so we're back here at the fort This is old project storm Torch storm supercharger that pass or that log that we're gonna look at here in a minute That was on the 3.5 pulley Holly high ram manifold and we have an air-to-air intercooler on the truck along with water meth injection and That is a that's it for anybody that's just chiming in that hasn't seen any of the old videos Tons of videos on this truck of Everything we've done to it. So if you haven't been caught up check out the old videos And we're gonna go in We'll go into the old fort and go check out this data log so again, it's summer About 85 degrees outside roughly and per The data log. Let's go down here. All right, so the BP barometric pressure Per that log we were at 14.8 psi barometric pressure. Now, which is pretty spot-on. I mean average is supposed to be 14.9 so we're gonna do the math and Subtract that from our max intake manifold pressure Which is gonna be right here intake manifold absolute psi So let's go through our log find the highest point that we had and See where we're at Kind of looks like we're holding up there. We go. So we went to 21.3 And that was right around 6,000 rpm almost as you can see up here 5947 so 21.3 I think 21.3 is gonna be our highest. Let me run through here real quick and make sure Yep, it's looking 21.2 21.8 so we hit 21.8 21.8 and that's gonna be our peak Yep, so 21.8 at about 6,000 rpm So Ryan's gonna do the math Okay, so boost gauge from what I could tell granted I'm trying to read it in the passenger seat So it's kind of hard to see it, but we made seven pounds of boost on the 3.5 pulley In today's heat not bad With an air-to-air intercooler so seven pounds so Now what we're gonna do we're gonna remove this pulley and we're gonna put on the 3.25 pulley It's a little bit smaller and go do the same exact log on the same road same temperature outside and See what we get. I'm thinking we should gain at least another pound maybe two pounds Give or take we'll see Obviously some tuning may need to be done after doing this pulley swap So we're gonna definitely watch the AFR gauge and see if we're still You know safe enough to be able to run it all the way out So hopefully we are the truck is definitely a little bit on the rich side. So I think we're gonna be okay But yeah, if the 3.25 can get us kind of where we're wanting to be that'll be great We're kind of wanting to be about eight You know eight to nine pounds of boost Would be perfect because before we put the air-to-air intercooler on the truck and we were only running the water meth That truck would make nine pounds almost ten pounds of boost on that 3.5 pulley which was pretty crazy But since we did add the intercooler and all the extra piping Obviously that takes a lot more Volume out of the compressor to fill all the pipes and everything so boost has dropped a little bit But the truck is still running great. It's making good power But yeah, let's get to it. Let's swap pulleys and go make another test run All right, so here is the new pulley. We're putting on That's the old pulley the 3.5. This is the new one. We're putting on the 3.25 pulley You can kind of see Definitely a size comparison Not a huge huge difference, but it's gonna make a I think at least another pound of boost maybe a little bit more We will see We made seven pounds. Let's see if we can make maybe eight or eight and a half So we're gonna get this thing put on go back out do another log. All right Mopar fam So we are ready to go. We got the 3.25 pulley installed Everything's locked and loaded.  We're gonna data log and see if we can get eight or eight and a half pounds of boost Let's go All right 3.25 pulley we are in storm. We're about to do the second log on The new pulley and see see where we're at Then we'll go back and we'll look at the data And see what the math tells us really made more boost, baby I'm gonna say eight nine pounds It was in between the five and the ten mark on the boost gauge and before it barely went past the five and I was saying six so Boost gauge shows dead middle between five and ten. So I'm gonna say eight nine pounds Let's go check out the data See what it says. All right Mopar fam. We're back here at the computer HP tuners and As you can see our BP barometric pressure is still the same as it was on the last log. It's fourteen point eight And we made a max intake manifold pressure of twenty four point one. So if you subtract the fourteen point eight We made nine point three pounds of boost The last log on the three point five pulley. We made seven pounds flat So we gained two point three pounds on That little bit of pulley change That's tremendous. So two more pounds. That's probably I Don't know. I would say that's that's probably good for maybe 40 or 50 willpower I would think somewhere in there. So truck should be definitely a little quicker on the track AFR gauge actually was like dead on it ran good sounded good So we're gonna send a log to Fly and Ryan FRP See if he can squeeze anything else out of it with this log and the new pulley So there you go a little bit of pulley makes a pretty big difference as you can see and Hell yeah, we're excited So storm last time out on that three point five pulley. We were running mid-13's and In You know summertime air like right now it's hot humid nasty The truck ran pretty good. So on this pulley. I'm kind of thinking we should be a little, you know really deep low 13's probably somewhere in there and Wintertime air easily should be able to get into the 12s.  Don't forget give the video a thumbs up Comment down below what you think and we'll see you guys on the next


kind of iffy. It works sometimes. Sometimes you got to mess with the trigger to get it to work. So let's take a couple of these and build at least one good one. This one is kind of iffy. This one here works fine, but as you can see, now this one's the same drill. It's got a good case. These two are hammer drills. This is not a hammer drill.  Also the arrows are different because someone must have had it apart before. That's what's going to be turning the other direction. That should be driving them in. It's taking it out. There's that. We're not going to mess with that other one. So this one works good. See that's that's the right way. This one wasn't working yesterday, but that's good because if you can see this right here, someone's had to get on it with a pair of uh channel locks or something to see that to break that loose to get it out. Now this one wasn't working yesterday for some reason. So it's got a better chuck. So you can still see the grip marks on it. You can still read that 700 series. This one just worn pretty much slam out. So well okay let's um let's find something else to do because I was using this drill last night. It does okay. It's just uh you know like I said sometimes somebody's had problems with the button before apparently they've switched something around because that's backwards. Um okay well I guess I just made this video for nothing. Well let's let's find something else to do. All right guys so what I've decided to do is try to take this apart. See if we can't fix that switch while it's running backwards. I've never had a DeWalt part before so I'm not sure how it comes apart. I think this may have to come off. Um I'm not sure these some of these are a little different than others to get off. Normally there's a screw down inside there. I see a screw down inside there to get these chucks off and it should be left-handed threads. Well that one very tight at all. Okay now I'm not sure how it comes off after that. So I may have to google this to find out.  This may have to unscrew. I see a slot here and a slot there for like a little wrench to go in. So let me get a get something a little wrench and we'll try to unscrew that. If not then we'll uh we'll go to google and find out because I'm pretty sure that this is going to have to come off for this case to split apart. So let me grab a wrench. So we got this out. Okay you seen that right. Now what it says to do says to insert an allen wrench and the chuck and tighten it down. So maybe this will help somebody if it works. Okay tighten then it says to hit that a mallet. Let me grab a mallet. Okay I've got a mallet here that says to hit it. See the whole thing's turning. So what I think I'm going to have to do is I've got me a real thin wrench here. I think we need to hold that right. Now that makes sense. Get it off the edge of the table. It doesn't seem like anything's happening. I'm sure how this is going to come out. Let's go ahead and start taking these screws out. I'll just go ahead and speed you up because I know this is pretty boring here. It's a Torx. They're Torx screws. Let me get a Torx bit and we'll use the impact driver on it. Okay we have them all out. This one right here is a little smaller than the other ones. So I still may have to I'm sure this has to come off somehow. I don't know if it pops off. I do know it's had to be a part before. Okay so that'll work. This has had to been a part before. Like I said this is backwards. If we switch these real stiff wires and that doesn't look like it's going to work if we switch them. So how it'll make sense why that would be backwards like that. Let me check this. Let me do my homework on this. See what the hell is going on. Okay guys what I've done is switch these wires around the purple and the brown. So let's um let's put this on here. Make sure it switches. Got neutral. Yes. Let's find out why this is not going all the way together here. Okay it's together. Let's put a battery in it. Now this thing here I'll just put this on here. So you can see here we're pointing that way. This should be turning clockwise. Okay now let's flip the switch to reverse. See the arrow to bring something out. It should back it out. Screws back in. They're all the same size. It looks like except for that one little one that we took out of there. So we're going to start with this. I'll speed it up for you again. I wanted to make note on this particular one. Let me see if I can get a better looking one for you. See it will take a Torex bit. You can use a straight standard size screwdriver on that. Okay now up here was this one. One of these I couldn't yeah this one my Torex wouldn't go down in so I just used the uh used the standard screwdriver part. So let's get this together. Now let's tighten this back up. I forgot to mention while I had it apart I used some of this and that switch because I don't know. Like I said it would just every once in a while just stop working and you had to like you'd flip that back and forth and then do it again it would work. So okay that's backwards. Now let's put it on forward. See the arrow. Now it should be turning clockwise and it is accomplished something today. So we've accomplished something today. The bench there. What I'm going to do is get a light like I have above the other workbench which I do not turn on. I have turned on that's supposed to start uh like that light right there. So I did put a bench up there but I want to get one of these lights it's a four footer and I want to mount it right under this bench here right along through here. So there you go.  So if you have changed the the chuck in your in your DeWalt drill that's how you do it. So awesome job. At least we got that straightened out so now I've got two backups like I said you saw this one still works if I would need it for something so cool and we have one of our own we got a cheap one with several batteries I've got a light blinking. So all right guys and we also have an electric one so I got plenty of drills. All right guys thanks for watching appreciate it Shea Bear the myth man legend I'm gone for now bye bye guys and take care


Florida became the latest and, by far, the largest U.S. state to ban transgender women and girls from participating in college and high school sports. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who is closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, signed the bill into law on the first day of Pride Month, which celebrates the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. DeSantis signed the bill at an event at a Christian school in Jacksonville where he was flanked by several teenage women athletes. He said the law was needed to ensure fairness for women participating in sports across the state. I messaged anything other than saying we're going to protect fairness in women's sports. We believe that it's important to have integrity in the competition and we think it's important that they're able to compete on a level playing field and you know you've seen what's happened when you don't have that.  That's what we're doing and we're going to make sure that that's the reality.


Okay, boss, but nothing. Oh my what? What are you gulking at what the hell I'll serve as you however you want A massive sword Thrust it deep into my socket so I can make it sturd. Let's check the game out I really love this place Good vibes. Damn complex was built from the ground up to be the ideal comfortable workplace. Can't it? Love I've been here before damn Immediately look at the graphics dude. Yes game comes out tomorrow technically getting early access on this My metal gear cosplay kind of works sure that's gonna work for this game dude I think the games on unreal engine 5 like I'm running it 240 FPS No on religion for it's not on fire do the 4090 is nuts man Dude the environment of this game is really good Who is this supreme leader bio shock vibes? Yeah, dude. I need to play bio shock That's one that I want to do during boomer month. I mean it's this kind of stuff is very bio shocky Are they Sims dude look at the show dude soda and baby in public Everyone here seems so happy and content Just like in China When I was little I'd never have dreamed people could soar so high or travel so far dude her mouth is huge Major N'Chai reporting for duty on Comrade Sessionoffs direct order Comrade major Yeah, yeah, many happer returns cut to the chase would you have got places to be Maybe they say comrade is a joke Dr. Sessionals Polly education gone are the days when Soviet citizens had to spend years studying at educational institutions From this moment on just inject a special neuro polymer encoded with the education You want a university-level natural sciences curriculum for example, and you'll instantly become an educated member of society Want to learn Korean or get a doctorate in nuclear physics? I have an essay to write before tomorrow, so could you please end stream? Thanks, I'll end in like an hour. Oh, I got the Pfizer polymer as a conduit Holy shit, but who designed this thing the Spanish Inquisition to activate the scanner hold all L Nobody expects this Highly user-friendly gesture it was developed by our leading expert in the field of advanced interpretive avant-garde absurdist I Damn C3 peel let himself go man. This is not looking good. That is Dr. Sessionoff is about to begin repent sinners Tony Stark five balloons they're everywhere those did I actually love this This is something like this Down bad I'm not down bad.  Okay This is fantastic no matter how many times I come here it always amazes me. It's just So nice our elevator has arrived the propaganda Dude, it's it's really good. Like the narrative is set really well, dude. They actually love stuff like this It's very immersive best moment in coming Wait, how do you know Mirko the game just came out what this is trippy? Hey, this is the Trump Spanned shiny and Russia are you serious? I'm ashamed these guys are clowns. I swear to God I'm about to go second amendment on these guys essence America for 20 blaze. I Thought I was a dude. I heard the phone ring and I was like, how do I check my phone? Oh, dude This is good man.  He gives that whole speech Oh, no, you have chosen or been chosen. That's what he says about style science The boss has a way of looking down on insurmountable obstacles. I really respect that there are no obstacle science Cannots about other than an electronic glove that never shuts up. Here's your vehicle activation code I Got it Yeah, by the way, dude look 300 FPS max graphics, isn't there supposed to be a radio in here The entire Soviet Union is ecstatic about the unveiling of collective 2.0 Yeah The American government is expressing deepening concern about the skyrocketing unemployment figures following the deliveries There won't be a shortage said people's deputy Alexander shalt you know in response to widespread concern in the city of Ozures How about some music? That's more like it. I see you've finally begun your assignment and it's been less than an hour They are good. Yeah, I haven't changed my clothes. Did you just say I said the signals on the fritz It does look so good. We have stuck us in dr. Setshinob already filled me in I kind of like this beat all of the motherland monument erected in The Soviet Union's victory in world war two. This is so immersive 3826 is numerous agricultural vehicles to route You are now observing the soviet sickle monument Designed by sculptors Elena Mujina and Alexander Kibelnikov and autonomously erected in 1951 by the collective 1.4 neural network Yeah, it's like part of the charm You have reached your destination Take my hand comrade major.  Unfortunately.  No, dude. It's so good Like like this utopian society propaganda Everything is perfect and then everything hits the fan. I like that. That's like it's good. It's it's like a cool It's a cool narrative I literally hit the fan Damn what an intro solid intro, man Old time road to game eating. Shit my head's killing me Wait, it's the first time you see the main character, right outside of the like like in the game It looks like the wizard.  I'm okay boss But nothing oh my what I whatever's going on clearly started a while ago.  Who wants bacon?  What is this zelda? The axe mechanics are cool. So left click left left click for quick. Oh my Dude, it really devs. Do you really have to program the pigs balls? Come on, man. What? Shit. Oh that thing is huge. Hey glove. Yes major any details on the target Victor Petrov is the lead engineer behind collective 2.0. Get me.   What are you gawking at? Almost choked to death there I didn't see that coming You should be more careful.  Yeah, I noticed. Thanks for the help No sweat, sonny I'm here anyway. Oh just passing through Who are you me? Zena Granny Zena That's all you need to know Fine, I get it. So what's going on here? Lots of casualties I don't know if you noticed but the robots are attacking people anyone who couldn't find a place to hide is dead meat I could really use a weapon. You got anything?  I'm heading that way too.  Yeah like that.  What are you planning?  No way you hang on to that key I got this I wish I just wish the camera wasn't so tight man This game looks so over the top in every scene.  Wait, did he smoke it backwards? We need to find a way to open this armored door. Gee you think enough with the lame advice armored core Why don't you tell me more about patrov? How'd they track him down anyway patrov's betrayal? He has white blood like right in a metal gear was then arrested by the argentum unit So how do you end up here after the trial patrov was sentenced to community service and sent back here as a prisoner What they couldn't find anyone else in the whole soviet union to do his job Collective's launch was only a few months away Replacing a lead engineer would have been foolish patrov had to finish what he'd started and that's what they make him do What's so special about the guy victor patrov was previously the lead engineer of a secret department within the academy of consequences Dedicated to programming robots for collective 2.0 Right Some guys stuck in there. Okay.  So if I was a door handle, where would I be? I told me to go here on a door. Okay, so that's a good start. Oh a valve. Oh, come on, dude Half-life unbelievable. I should have found the valve sooner. We could have saved him Yucky dug even 10 months Something's wrong. I got smashed Come on get up soldier. Great. Just a little more. You okay? I'm fine How many fingers? Uh four great now get up. I need your help. Who are they?  You got a name. No time for small talk Yeah, I think yeah, uh that that four steps four steps four steps. I'm on it. Get me them What's this doing here? I think it had like a set plan games do that sometimes or like some big thing Like you got a neural polymer. I don't need one thing is like one So what's your name doc? Larissa, I do ask a lot of questions. You know what you're on your own. You got this. Where are you going? It's useless. We don't have the equipment. I've got the equipment great Now we're getting somewhere. How did you do that?  Where does the shaft Larissa crawled into go? It's hard to say the ventilation system contains a large number of branching ducts. Fine. I can deal with it later Wow, I got a lot of stuff that I don't know what to do it. Oh, I feel like a crafting system Questions bring me to the sensor manipulator quick Relating rebellious dominant men really turn me on Oh, I'll turn you on. All right. Yes. What'd be at ya? I'm trying.  I'm at your surface sugar Anything from my master? What can I do for you? More skills will become available to you soon, but choose shock for now Okay, how can I resist? Now, let me show you what I can do Professionally, I mean I've seen it literally Sweet critters. I'm here to help you upgrade your red hot rocket rockets And believe me handsome. You can upgrade whatever tickles your fancy weapons are useful Open the corresponding window major. Get rid of that glove handsome. You don't need him anymore. Now that you've got me I'll service you however you want Got a sword a massive sword Thrust it deep into my socket so I can make it sturd. What? Nora can upgrade weapons and equipment as well as manufacture new items from blueprints to do this Provide the repair vendor with the resources and I can do so much With your axes just a taste of things to come you handsome beast. Did you enjoy it big guy? What did dude? What is happening in this game?  Because the repair vendor needs resources to break them down and produce items Luckily for us. It's not very picky. Although some upgrades make those. She's not picky at all components I take it the facility is full of all kinds of junk. It is indeed comrade major I'll keep an eye out then. I can't wait for your strong hands to grope my interface with lustful abandon That's it. We're done here. Let's go. I'm colorblind.  I agree. You've got quick reflexes major. I wouldn't survive without them Got quick reflexes and doesn't even grab a Some reflexes Needed was Marauders can drill through even the hardest minerals at incredible speed soviet science has high hopes In regard to our inevitable conquest of all the planets in the solar system Wait, I was gonna end. I I got distracted. I was gonna end guys Tomorrow we will finish metal gear solid five or excuse me metal gear solid four Act five as boomer month continues Um sub to the youtube channel turn on your notifications. Uh new videos every day Why am I wearing a vest? Uh metal gear solid. I was doing a snake Cosh play. That's why that's why the headband stuff on metal gear
