Hello everyone, welcome to another NARC Survivor Live video, in this one a new topic, one of that I haven't really spoken about before, about when the narcissist finally surrenders, because for a certain amount of time it's like the row is competing with you, it's like this constant competition, the row is trying to surpass or outdo you in success and achievements and it's like you might have a good job, you're in a certain amount of money and they're trying to outdo you in that, even though they may not even have a job, maybe they had one before and they will exaggerate their income, they will make it seem like it's so much more than what it actually is, they will like big themselves up, make themselves seem important, or it could be something else, maybe you just got a new home and then they'll always find someone to compare it to, whether it's one of their friends, a family member or they may just find some random person on the internet, it could even be a celebrity and they will compare your new home to theirs, no matter what you do they'll always move the goalposts and they'll always find some way to compete with you, but if you manage to demonstrate a certain level of power and strength to the point where it's practically incomparable and they can't really triangle you with any one of that point because you're still grounded in a reality, if you manage to demonstrate that level of power and strength that is when they will finally surrender, and when I say surrender I don't mean they're going to get down on their hands and knees and kiss your feet and I'm sure most of you who are watching this you don't want to see that anyway, but in fact what it does mean is that they are no longer going to behave amicably, they're no longer going to be peaceful or contentful around you and in fact from that point on they're going to go from seeing you as their competition to seeing you as their enemy, as someone who they must kill and destroy, someone who they must bring down because you're showing them up, you're making them look bad, you're making them look like absolute fools, idiots, because there's no possible way that they can even compare to you, there's no possible way that they can even be on your level and not only that but at that point when you demonstrate such a level of power and strength, success and achievements they haven't even got a founding member or friend that they can even compare to you, to minimize you and to make you look small, especially if you achieve such a standard where it's like after all the trials and tribulations, all of the suffering, even a celebrity at that point they could even compare you to them and this is the point where they will then finally surrender, they're going to give up on doing things the right way, being respectful, I mean the way that they so arrogantly compete with you, it's hardly respectful anyway but they're going to give up on that as well and instead they will just go all out on a mission to destroy you after that because you have really bruised their ego, you've deflated that exaggerated sense of self-importance so now they can no longer feel important around you and not only that but wherever they go, whoever they're around, they're constantly remembering you and how you showed them up, you made them look bad, you made them feel like they're not as good as they want to be seen as, which does cause a huge narcissistic injury and you're going to know when you have caused a narcissistic injury because they will let you know that they will not be able to hold it in, even if at the very least they are passive aggressive or in some cases it may be overt but when you reach a certain level and your success, your healing or development, you achieve a certain standard, that's when they get the message and they understand, alright we can't behave amicably around you anymore, we can't compete with you in that arena and being good, righteous, a valuable member of society, whatever it may be, we can't compete with you doing that and it's like, alright there's only one other option, we've got to go down, we've got to become corrupt, we've got to start doing the wrong things because that is the only way that we're ever going to win and just believe it or not but in their minds and their delusional minds they actually see that as winning, in their minds they actually believe that they have won by doing that, while to you or I we would see that as failure, loss, just make some losers, leeches, parasites, bottom fetus, gum of the earth, pieces of shit because you can quite clearly see what they're doing, it's plain, it's evident, it's apparent, it's like, so I was going up to a certain level of achievement and standard and while all the while before that, while you were keeping me down, you were competing with me and you saw it as a competition but then it's like when you demonstrate a certain level of power and strength, success and achievements, healing and development then it's like there's no way I'm going to be able to climb up there and then they look at it like the only thing they can do is bring you back down because they surrender, they accept the feat, they realize they can't match you, they can't do what you do so they have no other option than to go against you and to basically cheat, they have to break the rules, the very rules that they may have set themselves at one point but now they have to go against that, they have to cheat, they have to lie, they have to steal, they have to do whatever they possibly can and at that point it's like there are no rules, there may still be rules for you but there are no rules for them, now they're going to play dirty, they're not going to play fair anymore because they realize by playing fair, by playing by the rules there's no possible way that they can ever win so they have to find a way to limit, contain and restrict you to prevent you from being free and spreading your wings and flying away because they know by giving you the free range, the room to do that because remember the entire world has an extension of them so they see it as though I'm giving you this freedom, I'm giving you this room for you to move and for you to be yourself and for you to do what you want to do so then they see it as though now we have to restrict this, we have to contain it because the more room that you have to be free and for you to move the more you're making them look bad the more you're making them feel bad about themselves because it's like on an even playing field, well everything is fair and equal, it's stable, there's an equilibrium, you're just going to show them up because you're just so much better than them, sadly a lot of you don't even realize it but you really are and I know some of you may look at your lives and you like, I'm not that successful, I'm not even that physically attractive but think a bit like this, if you didn't go through all of that abuse, all of that sabotage, all of that destruction that caused in your life, just imagine how much more successful you would be today, just imagine how much better you would look physically as well and yet they always move the goalposts and they will make it out like you're not as good as you think you are, you're not that successful, you're not that attractive, when it's like you can't please this person anyway because that's not even what they want you to be, which is why when you do succeed and you demonstrate a certain level of power and strength all they're going to do is come after you and try to destroy you because they don't want to see that anyway, they do not want you to be the best version of yourself, what a narcissist wants is for you to be the worst version of yourself and actually it's even crazier than that because this is a narcissist mentality right and it's very difficult to really put this together but this is exactly how they think, they want you to be the worst version of yourself and at the same time they want you to be the best version of yourself for them, that's exactly what they want so they want to keep you in a position where you're under their control and you're restricted, you're not free, you can barely really move or even do anything at that point, you're like a puppet on a string but then they still want you in a position where you're still able to supply them with the attention, validation, admiration, money and resources that they need, just think about that for a moment how crazy that sounds and it has to be that way for them because they look at it like well if I just give you your freedom, if I just give you the room to go off and do and be who you want to be then I'm losing control, then yes you may be a better source of supply, you may be able to supply me with more energy, money and resources but who's to say that you won't just run off and give that to someone else but just keep it all to yourself and that's why they have to keep you close and tighten that grip on the reins so that you don't get away even though yes they may recognize and understand that by doing that not only is it restricting your freedom which that's what they want anyway it's also limiting your ability to become the best version that you can be so as I said they want you to be the best, the worst version of yourself, the worst version of yourself for you and for anyone else but the best version of yourself for them yes it's crazy as that sounds thanks for the donation thank the Lord I appreciate it I appreciate all the nations any support to this community I'm very grateful for that no matter how small I appreciate all the nations it helps to invest back into this community and also as you may see I am running a cause for the children in Gaza me of which don't have any foods no shelter no safe living conditions so please if you can support this cause for the children in Gaza you may see the ads on my video sometimes as well that's actually how it is over there must be a horrible experience for them so let's do what we can and donate some money to this cause for the children in Gaza thank you but yeah this is what our sisters want they want you to be the worst version of yourself at the same time the best version of yourself for them and it's because they need that control they've got to control you they've got to restrict you to prevent you from getting away that's why if you do manage to get away you leave them and typically what happens is as soon as you do your life your success this shoots up like a rocket come more successful happier healthier and then they see it and it's like alright let's shoot them down let's take them out because they're seeing it as though you're getting away you may be becoming more set successful healthier happier all of these things but then they see it as though you're getting away so then they're looking at as though you're not going to come back to them which means that they're never going to get any of that for themselves so you see the connection that I'm making it's like what good is it for them if you do become the best version of yourself that's not going to help them at all because then you're going to have the power it doesn't mean you're just going to stay with them and supply them with whatever they need and they know that that's why they said in past videos it's like Cinderella and that's you whether you're a man or a woman you're like Cinderella just the male version maybe with the the wicked stepmother and the two-step sisters they make you think you're not as great as you actually are they keep you as the worst version of yourself because that's the only way that they can keep you and that kind of brings me on to a video that I will be working on very soon and upload into the channel which is how narcissists they actually only get the worst part of us because they have to they have to keep us down in order to contain us to keep us under their control so they never get the best part of you and I'm sure many of you already know that from your experiences with them it's like you can never be yourself you know you're not allowed to develop some of you aren't even allowed to get a job not allowed to have friends you're not allowed to go into the world and become the best version of you so narcissists all they ever get is just the crumbs they get the worst part of you because if you weren't with them you could have been so much more but then they never would have had that anyway because if you were so much more than you would have been around them they typically target us when we are vulnerable when they can find weaknesses and that's how they get in or they just target our self-esteem and they make us feel like we're not as good as we actually are and so this is as good as when in fact no it's not you are to serve a far more you deserve so much more than a toxic abusive narcissist someone who's constantly competing with you and when they realize that they can't measure up and they're never gonna be as good as you and what do they do they go from seeing you as their competition their opponent to then viewing you as their enemy and then they just want to take you down and a narcissist of the type of person who they can abuse you for years and compete with you all of that time and restrict your growth and development then even if somehow you managed to get away you managed to become successful happier healthier even then they will just come back sabotage you ruin it all and and here's a really crazy part about it and they will still blame you they will still blame you I'm sure I asked for no sugar at my tea I'm not sure if there is any but it is the lemon flavor so that could be why as you can probably tell I'm quite hyper in this one that's why I usually try to avoid having too much sugar because otherwise I'm just bouncing all over the place but I know many of you love it you love the high energy the enthusiasm very enthusiastic but yeah seriously this is how it goes this is how it is and I'm sure many of you you clicked on to this and you were hoping to see or to cure something more positive whereas like you know they surrender they give up and maybe they let you lead they let you have the power for a change because they realize it never works out for them but no that doesn't happen that doesn't happen at all and in fact when they do surrender it's pretty much that they surrender on doing things right on doing things in a moral and correct way and instead then they were to go against the green then they were to challenge you then they want to bring you down sabotage you undermine you corrupt you disable you lessen your power effectiveness and ability just do whatever it takes to make you less stronger less powerful than you actually are that's when they will break their own rules we've ingest you know these perhaps unwritten unspoken rules that we have in society but the certain lines that you do not cross certain things that you do not do even though you you could do it and they may not be against the law but yeah they will go ahead and do that as an example cheating lying I mean that's technically not against the law stealing of course that is a serious crime in every country in the entire world but yeah they will go and do that they will steal your money your possessions even things where it's like you could be in a partnership with the business with them and they will cut you out of it you never know what they might do they can be very unpredictable because what's happening when you strive to become the best version of yourself you move it on to greatness if you're becoming better stronger more powerful more successful healthier happier when they see all of their stuff it's triggering them to reflect on who they really are because the entire time they have this false identity which is derived from them exercising their influence and control over you and when you break out of that mold it's a real shock to them when it's like because the entire time they kept you down criticizing you insulting you every day making you feel small making you feel like you're nothing making you feel like you'd never be good enough for anyone or anything so you'll never find work and never get a job never make any money you'll never finish school whatever it is never achieve anything great in life that's how they want you to think because they derive a sense of their false identity from that from keeping you there keeping you stuck which is why when you finally break out of that mold and you go out and you do everything they said you couldn't you become everything they said you would never be and many of you you might actually think I thought they would have been proud of me I thought they would have congratulated me I thought they would have said well done I knew all along you could do it but no instead it's met with contempt anger frustration coercion and intimidation where they just want to push you back into that mold back into that box don't grow don't evolve don't develop stay where you are be who you've always been be who I made you to be so that they can then continue to derive their false sense of identity from you which believe it or not is actually just a projection of these native traits about themselves which they disown it and assigned to you because they don't want to see or accept that in themselves so they put that on to you and then they can reject their own self hatred on to you but then they've got a reason a justification for bullying insulting you abusing you you see how it works that's exactly how it is that's what they do that's how it works in their minds that's how they rationalize it but then from understanding that you can see it is actually they who are the ones who are deserving of contempt it's just they put that on to you well they steal your positive qualities and traits and use them to construct this false character of innocence and naivety as though they don't know what they're doing and so they're not doing anything wrong or as though they're just trying to help they're just trying to be better and they're so loving kind and empathetic but in fact that is you it's just they dump their negative traits on to you and they stole everything good about you which they then use to construct this false image for themselves and this is why so many victims they come to these communities thinking that they're the narcissist thinking that something is wrong with them thinking about their toxic and yeah it's like if you look back at everything you did for them all of the times that you try to make them happy just make a list of everything that you did and then realize how it was never good enough are they make another list of what they did for you what did they ever do for you other than take everything that you've got and give you nothing but abuse lies I'm an ablation in return and that is how you know that all along it wasn't you it was them as I've said before the victim is the one who comes into the relationship of a lot and leaves with a little or nothing the narcissist is the one who comes into the relationship with very little or nothing and leaves with everything as you can see that clear difference from the beginning to the end of the relationship you can see who is benefiting and gaining the most and who lost at all you can quite clearly see that and yet many times they managed to gas like this and to make it as think that it's us about we could have done more we could have been we could have done better when in fact if you look back and you make those two lists you will realize that no in fact it was them and that's why typically at the end of the relationship what did they do you try to move on you try to heal and become better and as soon as you do that they can immediately sense it it's like they have this predatory six cents they know when you're healing they know when you're moving on they can see when you're doing better because then they know that your energy is slipping away from them and it's no longer validating this false sense of identity was they derive from you and that's when they will come back they will whover you just to try to bring you down again just as arbitraled your life on average a narcissist will whover their victim seven times before it's finally all over yes that's how many times they can come back because it's like they need you they derive a sense of their false identity from you without that they've just got to avoid you're unknowingly sustaining them while they're making you believe all the while they can nothing that you're not good enough but you're no good and yet they're taking all of these things from you and you don't even know it your attention your validation praise compliments money energy resources a place to stay they're taking all of this stuff from you but many of you you keep looking at yourself thinking that you need to do more thinking that you need to be better but in fact what you should have done what we all should have done right in the beginning when we could see that there was no reciprocation and we're just giving and giving out getting nothing back return other than lies of future faking manipulation and gaslighting in that moment we should have recognized all right forget it I'm out just take what we got take it somewhere else to someone to at least start a similar level of value and can give that exchange can reciprocate back to us instead of us just getting drained to the point when we then have nothing left so in some ways we do need to take accountability for that that's not to say that they're our faults and that they're not the wicked evil people that they are it's just to say that if we had known then we could have got out but then of course it's like in some situations how do you know because you're being manipulated it being gaslighted so it's not always possible for you to know but there it is when they finally surrender and it's not always but pretty much it's never as you may want it to be where you're thinking are they're gonna come back I mean pretty much what you want in when you think about it you may not think about it this way but it's like all we are really wanting is for them to see themselves rather than how they have to see an idealized image of themselves based on this concoction of qualities they like about us and other people before us but it's a combined to create this idealized character who can't do anything wrong and it's like we just have to submit to them and give them everything that we've got so all we really wanted is just for them to see themselves but it's like if you hold that mirror up to them what happens it causes an injury they get mad are there at the same time it's a goal we want it's not just for them to see themselves but if they could also see us as we actually are instead of us just having to surrender our entire life so we're someone who can't even see or appreciate it so I guess that's really what we're wanting it's like to surrender the ego and just accept who they are based on everything they've done both good and bad which of course as we know that's something that they're never gonna do they're never gonna accept all of the wrong that they've committed they're gonna carry on with the delusion the lies they're gonna keep that going forward for as long as they can usually until the end of their lives and that's why the way I'm describing this when I say they finally surrender they just become even more narcissistic they become malignant even psychopathic because it's like all right if this is I'm working if I can't be as I am compete with you fairly and I'll do you in the way that I want to then I'm gonna have to cheat I'm gonna have to lie I'm gonna have to steal I'm gonna have to harm you destroy you and that's why that's exactly what they do that's why they then turn against you and it's like one minute you were their opponent and what was meant to be a fair competition and then suddenly now they're breaking the rules I know you're their enemy now they can't stand you now they want to destroy you because they're driving a sense of identity from you and they stolen your qualities your positive attributes and it's like you can't both be you so for them to be you they have to destroy you because otherwise they're not gonna feel like they are you if you're still you and yet many of us we wonder it's like why can't we both be great why can't we both be something important successful whatever it is that it's so important to them but it's like no you can't you may want that of course yes they know they can see that's what you want that you want things to be equal normal and fair based on your own qualities and abilities and that should determine and define who we are and our success in life but they can't have it that way because it's like if you can be you then how can they be you as well they can't be two of you like they've seen you they laid eyes on you and it's like I sort drew them to you they weren't really attracted to you as a person to where they were desiring to connect to you it's more I like what you got but I'm looking at you in your life and it's like I like these qualities I like your abilities I like your success your money your achievements your house your cars and then it's like they want it they want to be you they want that for themselves and then it's just all about concocted a plan of how they're gonna get that out of you how they're gonna become you and if they succeeded in doing that it's like a that point all you can do is try to create a new version of you version 2.0 let them have the old version they can have the outdated one you got a new one now start again but then by doing that they may then try to pull you back into your old ways they may try to tempt you back into how you were before because it's like what good is there what was the point in me being you when it's like you didn't even want to be this version of you anymore and in fact now you've moved on and you think you got this new better version but I got the souls out of date one so then it's like how do I get you back over here to how you were before I bet I can feel like I've got something that you want something that you desire this whole version of you but if they can't do that and just really your mind is made up and you're moving forward you're going on to version 2.0 of yourself then like the chameleons the shapeshifters the girl they will then mold themselves into that new version and destroy that as well and it will just keep going on and on you have version 3 version 4 version 5 other just keep stealing all of them and destroying them all because it's just something about you I don't know what to say exactly what it is because I'm just thinking about this on the spot right now there's something inside of you because of the outside on the surface it's like even when they get that they steal that identity from you but then you can go and create a new version and then they want that as well and they want to destroy that in you something inside of you it's your soul anything you create everything you touch just turns the gold and they see that they know that it's like I guess what it is it goes back to our childhood where it's like which is functional healthy people that's really what it is we make things happen but destined to be successful in whatever we do well as for them the toxic that is functional all they do is cause chaos and problems they destroy everything they get into they may have destroyed many of you so maybe that's what it is underneath it all at the core of us is that you're built to last you're built to survive you're destined for success long term you're destined to heal grow and develop well as for them whatever they do just falls apart and maybe that's why they have to steal it from us I mean it is that is why they have to because you've got to think if they're really so functional and they can do things themselves I'm sure they would just go off and do it on their own they will need you but they can't they can't create a sense of identity on their own they can't create anything everything they do everything they get involved in they damage it they destroy it they behave corruptly they cheat they lie they steal so of course they're gonna get that from you they're gonna stolen your identity and I say all right you can have that I'm gonna start again version 2.0 here we go they'll be back they'll steal it from you again they'll destroy you no identity they'll take it for themselves because it's just the fact that you can generate this from within you're so imaginative so creative hard working you just got the qualities the capabilities to make stuff happen I mean that's really what it is you've got inner power that inner strength to manifest to bring things into reality to discipline so you just set out yourself motivated you're like all right I'm gonna do this I don't need anyone's help I'm gonna work on this I'm gonna get this done as for them they can't get anything done they can't make anything happen do you see anything of value any success in their lives other than things where it's like they manipulated people it's a given it to them they cheated they stole it they just can't make stuff happen like you can so no matter how much you recreate yourself and you grow and develop they're gonna keep coming back and desiring to be the new you they'll be done with the old you're not even gonna see that anymore then all of the things that they stole from you you won't see that stuff anymore because it's like all right you don't want this you don't desire this anymore that's the old version of you you don't want it back so then they're gonna start stealing bits and pieces of the new you and making that into a part of any identity and destroying it in you as well because you can't both be you this is why what you need to do you need we have to keep continuing to evolve never stop never do what they do where it's like they steal these bits and pieces of us so there are the power sources of supply and I say all right I'm finished I'm complete I'm perfect now I'm everything I need to be I didn't need to grow we can't ever do that we must keep growing we must keep evolving and they may keep stealing and destroying these past versions of us but our mindset is always gonna be alright doesn't matter I'm working on the next version of myself and once that's complete I'm gonna be working on the next version of that as well and I'm just gonna keep going I'm gonna keep striving forward and I'm never gonna give up that's the mindset that you need to have just move my back at the Sun because I got my water my bag I don't want it to get hot but yeah that's the mindset you need to have because whatever you've got whatever whoever you are whatever version of yourself you are it's like they're always gonna want it they're always gonna envy you to the point where they're gonna set out to steal that from you and to destroy it in you they're always gonna be that way I mean that's the whole point they have a disorder so that's never gonna stop gonna be that way until the day they die and underneath that mask underneath that force identity they're gonna remain the exact same way for the rest of their lives the only thing that changes is the mask and they may have many different masks that they wear for different people different situations different parts of their lives they chuck on a new mask maybe the last one got exposed or maybe the person they stole it from they got bored of it they got bored of that identity for themselves so they no longer use that anymore because remember in our success they want to be envied they want to feel like yeah I got this identity this is yours this is what you want but now I'm you they want to leave people feeling that way so that mind yeah they're gonna keep coming back to you stealing from you as you're healing you're growing new parts of your identity and of course that's backed up by the statistics as well because on average research shows that narcissists do return to their victims seven times before it's finally all over and you've got to think seven times on average in some situations it could be far more could be far more and that's really what they're doing when they keep coming back is they're just stealing bits and pieces of you they immediately sense when you're moving on with your healing when you're growing I've asked when they want to come back because you're recharged now you got more things going on in your life it's like you're taking care of yourself better maybe you just started going to the gym you've got some new hobbies and interests maybe you're going to church you got all of these new things that are strengthening this new version of your identity so that's what they come in back for so they can steal that into a part of themselves they come early and shape-shifters underneath the mask they remain the same for the rest of their lives that never changes or grows but the mask it does change the mask is always being recreated and so is evolving based on the different people that they come across who they deem to be like the bull desirable attractive and their qualities or abilities their appearance their identity so they constantly taking these bits and pieces of people this concoction which they're adding to this mask and at the same time I didn't need to be aware of this too it's not when they're coming back to you if you accept them the Hoover they may have gone off into other people and they've revealed certain parts of themselves they've taken on parts of that new source and then they're coming back and they're sharing that with you and not only that but of course they're always the sowing part of themselves but they don't like and assigning them to you so you may also find that your identity begins to change a little bit just by you being around them because this is what it's like when you're around someone with no sense of self with an unstable core is that when you're around them it's just they're constantly just the sowing in these negative parts of themselves and put them on to you because exactly what they want for you to do is to agree with that own it accept it as a part of yourself that's what narcissists want they want you to accept negative parts of them as parts of yourself and that's another thing as well when they see you growing your healing you're moving on you don't go fitting into that mold you no longer owning these negative parts of them so they want to come back and give you more of those negative parts again to put you back into that mold so they can feel like that's not who they are and they can keep blaming you but not only that because if you're healing you're moving on you're doing other things you've got that version 2.0 you've got that version 2.0 now you're striving forward you're creating new parts of your identity so of course now they want to come back and take that from you they want to make that a new part of their identity and destroy that in you and that's how and why they're gonna keep coming back so that's really the process that's really what's going on well they do keep coming back to you and what they typically do as well as they move back and forth between the love bombing and the devaluation so it's like one minute they've surrendered the breaking the rules they're doing anything they can to sabotage destroyed you and then they'll just return to the love bombing the manipulation and I say no I want to be a good person now now I'm gonna do things right I'm gonna do thing righteously and it's like they just expect you to forget what they just did a day or week before so that's nothing to do with them that's not a part of their identity that's literally how it is they could just go from one moment to the next and just to zone all of their dysfunctional actions behaviors so that's nothing to do with them and they'll just blame you for that or they'll deny it this is why you can't trust them this is why they're so unpredictable you never know what they're gonna do next because they never went up to anything they've got no core sense of self no identity they don't even know who they are and many of you don't even know who they are because you may have accepted it you may have agreed to it but their actions of behaviors do not align with who they actually are it's really bad and by them doing that that's how you know they've got no intention of healing or growing and that's how you can leave you can move on with your life if they can manage to leave you alone and I'll pull you back in and then you can check back in with them after 10 years 20 years over longer maybe guarantees but they're narcissistic they're gonna be the exact same way they may have made some changes some adjustments to their mask the manipulation may be more effective now underneath that mask guaranteed it's the exact same person they never grow they never change they stay the exact same way and they're gonna keep doing the exact same things until the day they die they've just got no drive no motivation to want to do better to want to be better to want to grow to want to become the best version of themselves they gave up on that a long time ago and it's just like no let me just steal bits and pieces of you to create my false identity that's literally how it is for them because they can't generate anything from within or they have no authentic likes or interests of their own it's never anything where it's like oh yeah I like this despite of me there's something that I'm into it's not it's never that way with them it's just whatever's trending whatever's popular whatever's gonna get them the most attention admiration they're completely unauthentic they'll go wherever the crowd is whatever's gonna get on that supply and that's just how it is that's how it's always gonna be with them and that's why when you demonstrate your power your strength your success achievements progression healing and development they're gonna cave in they're gonna submit they're gonna surrender they're gonna bow down to you metaphorically by throwing in the towel and trying to sabotage you bringing you down because in that moment they accept forget about their true self that died a long time ago they accept that their false self this concoction of so many different people from their past even celebrities or whoever else it may be they accept that this this even call it this mess this mixture of different people different people's qualities and traits they accept that even that isn't good enough to compete with you and of course it wouldn't be because it's not authentic it's not generated from within so then it's like a right let me cheat let me lie let me deceive let me steal from you because this I'm seeing this as being more viable as being superior to me right now so let me steal from this and add this to me maybe then I can be better maybe then I can be complete that's their mentality and so there's no incentive there's no motivation for them to ever be their authentic selves and of course they want to be at this point because it's like it's already too late for a lot of them they missed out on so much time of development of growth all of this time they've been manipulating deceiving people wearing a mask so it's like even if they could even if they could just rip off that mask that would be no match for you that would be no match for anyone and it's like how many years would they have to spend working on that for it to be finally good enough that I'll give it to them to be fair I mean when you've abandoned yourself in childhood and you create a false character and all of your life you've been putting on an act manipulating people I didn't even know myself if I would have the strength if I did that my entire life and then in my 20s my 30s my again as an adult I can't even grasp the amount of work that would take and so it's no surprise why very few of them if any ever actually embark on that journey because that is a tremendous amount of work I mean just to put it into perspective it's like as an example let's say you're 40 years old a 40 year old narcissist your entire life since you were a child you had no identity all you ever did was manipulating to see people you were a mask so that means you have what potentially if your 40 for your old narcissist 35 years of growth and development to catch up on just to then be able to compete in society to actually be anything of significance and value that's a tremendous task for anyone especially someone who when we consider the amount of trauma abuse and neglect they must have gone through in their childhood to then abandon themselves so in that sense we can kind of have some compassion for them but then at the same time it has been scientifically proven that children do know exactly what they're doing even as young as two or three years old they're fully aware the conscious of their actions and the effect that it has on other people children at the age of two or three they kind of already learned empathy so is that any excuse because I know for myself and many of you we didn't do that we chose to go on the right path even though at times we may be being abused neglected we may not feel good enough and it just shows we know exactly what we're doing even at that age even when we're children so they still made that conscious choice and as I've said before it does seem that God does test us even at that age because you've got to look at it like this this all began in their childhoods but look at it now where they are now in their lives and just I honestly can't imagine the amount of work it would take for them to go back and start again and catch up on all of those years of their life that they missed out on where they didn't progress where they didn't construct a true identity and sense of self that would take a tremendous amount of work I don't say they can't be done maybe with intensive therapy if they do possible maybe with God's help but this is what happens when they surrender when they accept the feet when they accept that you are better greater superior to them they can't compete with you they can't match you if they can't climb up if they can't meet you there they just find a way to take you down to bring you back down to their level and then manipulate you into seeing yourself as being beneath them because I have to be manipulation there's no other way even if they take everything from you you're not really gonna believe that you're beneath them they've got to trick your mind into thinking that it can only ever be manipulation never reality so that's what they're gonna do when they see that you're better your greater your superior to them it's just all about how we bring this person down because we're not gonna climb up there whether when I ever gonna be on that level so it's like the only thing they can do it's getting really hard to you where I am I think today it's 35 degrees Celsius and it's meant to increase from 42 degrees up to 51 in some areas I don't think it's gonna get that hot here but I could definitely get into the 40s that's why I'm in the shade the hottest temperature I've ever experienced is around 36 degrees it's about two or three years ago I remember that was a really hot summer I think that was doing the COVID when I came back from Sri Lanka those of you may remember when I rented that that black Mercedes AMG E400 I was doing some videos in there drove back from London in it and it was just really hot like sunny every day good times good memories to share with my

My name is Catalina Escobar. From Makaya, I am the co-founder and chief strategy officer. We've been partners with TechSoup since 2014. We managed the donation program in Colombia and in other 13 countries. I think it has helped increase our visibility a lot as an organization because before the TechSoup partnership, our reach was limited and now we're reaching thousands of organizations in a lot of different countries. So we're very successful at that and very proud about that partnership. We have also developed services on top of the donation program. So we're really proud about that as well because it's not just giving technology for the sake of giving technology, it's really helping nonprofits use the technology in a way that is useful for them. I think we've taken the partnership with TechSoup in a different way and to a different level and we have started to do development projects with TechSoup. So for example, we're working on open data, air quality related to open data and we have installed pollution sensors in Medellin in partnership with TechSoup to help people understand the earth that we're breathing, open data around pollution and just educate citizens about what's happening around an issue that is of concern to all of us, which is air quality. Also, we have the role of overseeing what governments are doing, what private sector is doing and sometimes giving the voice to citizens and to people whenever they don't have the voice and reaching populations that can never be reached by governments through the official channels. The way the network is structured allows us to learn a lot but also to share what we know and to get this feeling that we're not alone in this, that we have many partners around the world that are doing similar work and that we can jointly do even more great things.


to demonstrate the femoral artery and its important branches in the thigh. So we have lifted up this artery, this is the femoral artery here and the medial to that is the femoral vein. The femoral artery runs through the center of the femoral triangle and then it goes through the apex of the femoral triangle which is located here and then it enters the rectal canal. Let's take a look at the branches that we can see in this dissection. This is the first branch we can picked up here. This is the superficial circumflex iliac artery. This artery runs upwards and laterally parallel to the iliac crest. That's why it's called superficial circumflex iliac. Then we can see this branch here. This is the superficial epigastric which runs across abdominal wall like this and then there is a third branch which goes to the genitalia that is the external pudendal. We can see part of it here and it is accompanied by the corresponding veins which we have cut. The veins drain into the femoral vein. Apart from this we have a very important branch and we can see that branch coming out here which is almost as large as the main femoral artery itself. Now we come to the largest and the most important branch of the femoral artery. This artery that we have picked up here and we can see the other end of it here. This is the course of the artery. This is the profunda femoris artery and we can trace it all the way down here. So this is the profunda femoris starting from here, here and here and this is accompanied by the profunda femoris vein. Profunda means deep. This is the largest branch of the femoral artery. The profunda femoris artery in the vein they run medially and they go deep between the attachments of the vastus medialis and the adductor magnus onto the linear aspirin. So therefore it runs just on the bed of the attachment of the adductor magnus to the linear aspirin. And this profunda femoris we cannot see it in this dissection gives off the medial and the lateral circumflex femoral arteries which encircles the femur and supplies to the hip joint and it also participates in the crucial anastomosis and thereafter the profunda femoris terminates by giving four perforators and because I told you the profunda femoris is running on the bed provided by the adductor magnus which is attached to the linear aspirin. So the perforators run from medial to lateral along the posterior aspect of the femur. So the first perforator goes like this, the second perforator goes like this, the third and the fourth perforator is the termination of the profunda which terminates. So that is how the profunda femoris terminates. Because the posterior aspect of the nithi does not have any separate arterial supply it is these perforators which supply the blood to the posterior aspect. The first perforator which goes like this participates in what is known as a cruciate anastomosis along with the medial and the lateral circumflex femoral and a branch from the inferior gluteal. This is a very important branch of the femoral artery namely the profunda femoris. Apart from that femoral artery is also giving we can see numerous muscular branches and we can see some of the muscular branches here. We can see a muscular branch, a big muscular branch is coming to the quadriceps muscle. This one, this one. Apart from that the femoral artery also gives a genicular branch. This is the genicular branch descending genicular branch of the femoral artery which runs on the medial side down like this and it participates in the genicular anastomosis with the perforatorial artery. So that brings me to the termination of the femoral artery where exactly it becomes known as the femoral artery. So for that let's again come back to the femoral artery. Femoral artery is continuing here. At this point this is the location of the beginning of the adductor canal. We have separated it out. So posteriorly we can see the adductor longus is here. So it runs on the surface of the adductor longus under cover of this fascia here which is called the sub sartorial fascia and then it continues down. While my finger is tracing this, I would like to notice this tendinous structure here which I have lifted up here. This tendinous structure. This is the adductor tendon. And if we trace this adductor tendon further down we find it terminates on to the adductor tubercle here. Between the adductor tendon and the rest of the adductor magnus which we can see here which is inserted onto the linea aspera there is an opening and that opening is known as the adductor hiatus. So we will trace the femoral artery into the adductor hiatus. My finger is going with the femoral vessels. Femoral artery and femoral vein and it is going inside and as it goes it comes out through the adductor hiatus. This is the adductor hiatus. And when it crosses the adductor hiatus the femoral artery becomes known as the popular artery. The important clinical point to be remembered is that the femoral artery or the beginning of the popular artery whichever way you want to put it is liable to entrapment at the adductor hiatus. This is one of the three important sites of popular artery entrapment namely the adductor hiatus. So this is the termination of the femoral artery. Femoral artery is an important site for cannulation for angiograms and how do we locate the position of the femoral artery? We take the meeting mineral point from the anterior superior leg spine to the pubic symphysis which is here not the pubic tubercle but the pubic symphysis and we take the midpoint of that. And from the midpoint we drop a line one inch below and we will feel the femoral artery against the pubic bone. And from there we can cannulate it for angiographic procedures and it is being used for coronary angiogram apart from other angiograms. And while we are feeling the femoral artery position we know the femoral vein is just located immediately to that. So we can cannulate the femoral vein also to the same root. So this is also another important clinical correlation pertaining to the femoral artery and the femoral vein. Thank you very much for watching. If you have any questions or comments please put them in the comment section below. Have a nice day.


Mr. Stink Tech Hawaii, the community matters here. That is Lou Puliarisi in the flesh, how about a shot of Lou? See, we have talked to him so many times, but he has not been in the studio. And the joyfulness today is he's here with us in Honolulu in the studio. Say hello, Lou. Hello, I'm happy to be here, Jay. Thanks for inviting us. Great to have you. So just to tell you who he is, as indicated, as you know from many early shows, he's the president of EPRINC, the Energy Policy Research Foundation. I get that right? Absolutely. And in Washington, D.C., he covers energy there and around the country and around the world. And he talks to us every couple of weeks on energy in America and beyond. And just one little thing more is that he's here for 10 days or so, and in the middle of that he's going to Singapore. Bangkok. Bangkok. Sorry, I didn't change my notes on that. Bangkok. And he's going to be doing an energy conference there in Bangkok. Yes, part of the workshop with our Japanese colleague research group in Japan. Institute of Energy Economics, Japan. Great. And when he gets back to Washington, he's going to do another conference. What's that about? So we have several events. We are going to do a follow-up workshop on September 8th that we have with our Japanese colleagues. But we're also going to do an event at the Canadian Embassy on September 6th, called Building Out the North American Energy Infrastructure. And as you know, that resulted in a lot of controversial issues that Dakota Access Pipeline and all the protesters. And by the way, today, the Dakota Access Pipeline Company, which is owned by Energy Transfer Partners, sued Greenpeace under a RICO provision. RICO, really? Yes, claiming that they engage in a conspiracy and racketeering to destroy their project. Well, that'll be interesting to watch as the courts handle that. That's very interesting. That's what I call pushback. Okay, well, let's talk about our principal subject, which is Asian in nature. And may I say, Lou has a lot of connection with Asia. He's got some kids that speak Mandarin, which is always good to have in the household these days. Yeah, let's hope it pays off, yeah. Planning for the future. Right here in Minoa, that's fabulous. So let's talk about the principal subject of our discussion. That is the coming conflict between LNG and coal in Asia. So can you describe the way it is and the conflict and the way you think it's going to be? Yes, if you think about, of course, Asia is a very varied set of countries. Some are energy rich, some are energy poor. But it's undergoing a big transformation right now. But it has over the past 20 years become a highly reliant on coal to generate electric power for home. Asia is also one of the last remaining parts of the world that uses, except for the Hawaiian Islands, that uses a large amount of heavy fuel oil, a direct crude oil burn to generate electric power. So gas has a lot of potential benefits for Asia. One is it could help out with local air pollution problems, because it's a clean burning fuel. It can also move you along the gradient from a more intensive carbon dioxide emitter to a less intensive carbon dioxide emitter. So in that regard, I thought what we do is first look at what does the kind of coal capacity look like in Asia if we pull up the first slide. Okay, here we go. So this shows you just for one year, right? And this is dollars in billions, right? So actually, this is an installed capacity for coal and gas-fired power investment in Asian markets, right? And in that year, about $65 billion was spent investing in new coal-fired capacity, but only about $10 billion in natural gas. This is power plant capacity, really. So coal is still a dominant and important force throughout Asia. They have clean coal, though. They have clean coal, and it is quite possible to use with these high-efficiency boilers with the use of scrubbers and other kinds of environmental devices. It is quite possible to get the particulate emissions to a low level. So if you go to Beijing and you see all this terrible air in Beijing, if you talk to chemical engineers as well, if the Chinese would just turn on their scrubbers, you know, that air would be a lot better. Now, it's more complicated than that, but you know, the Chinese, you could talk about all these global climate agreements, but I don't think the Chinese have really covered themselves in glory in doing the most basic things, which is getting the kind of soot out of the atmosphere. Are they trying? So there's a debate about that. I think they are trying, but the ability of the national or the central government to get the local guys to behave isn't always effective. Okay, sure. And I remember going down the Yangtze River and seeing barge after barge, huge barges of black soot in the hole. So if we're going to put, so one, we've spoken about this in the past, if the, for going to the U.S. because of its vast natural gas supplies, we now probably can produce ever-increasing volumes of natural gas in the U.S. So much so that we don't have enough to, we can't use it domestically. We're exporting something like four billion cubic feet of data, Mexico by pipeline. We're probably going to get up to two billion cubic feet a day of liquefied natural gas. This is where we take the gas, we turn it into a liquid at very high cost. It's not a cheap thing to do. Put it on a tanker, either ship it through the Panama Canal or all around South America for Asian markets. So a billion dollar tanker. Oh yeah, these are massive facilities. I went to the opening of the one at Sabine Pass in Louisiana. It was quite something. But in order to move this gas into Asia, we are facing a number of challenges. And one of the challenges are that in the main countries like Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, which represents 75 to 80 percent of world LNG demand, their population, their electricity growth is growing quite slowly. And this growth is also highly uncertain depending upon the rate at which other fuel sources are permitted or end up generating power. Those two are nuclear power and coal. And as you know, there's a sort of anti-nuclear movement underway for a lot of reasons in Japan. And Korea and Taiwan as well. And so there's some existing capacity which is offline. In Taiwan and Korea, there's decisions on what to do with existing capacity, whether to extend it out or reduce it. So we have a great deal of uncertainty on the future. You have infrastructure that allows coal, that relies on coal, and you want to change to LNG. Even if the LNG is around, even if it's cheaper, you still have to pay the cost of moving the infrastructure from coal to LNG. Yes, and I think the next slide might help us understand this a little bit better. Because the market is quite segmented. So let's take a look at the next slide. I think this is a really interesting slide because it shows, if you look at the segment of the world LNG market, it's really divided into different kinds of characteristics. And we've got the number of countries listed there in each one. In some countries, when we say matured indigenous resource, what that means is their gas production is declining. And so Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, Bahrain, parts of Europe as well. That is actually where you're going to see a lot of potential demand grow to 2030. But if you go to places, but there are other elements of natural gas demand, countries that are growing rapidly, like China and India, also haven't historically thought about LNG as a flex fuel. But for peaking or for seasonal demand, parts of the world that have not too much in Asia, cold winters, or seasonal requirements, some places like Kuwait and South Africa, they're really displacing their energy mix away from coal. And even bunkering, many cruise ships now are considering moving to LNG so they can meet coastal zone management requirements. Lots of countries don't, they won't permit you to emit sulfur dioxide and all the heavy fuel oil components that are often prevalent in diesel fuel and heavy fuel in big tankers. So you're going to see a movement away to more LNG tankers. That's the primary fuel on the ship? Yes, but in order to do that, you have to have what we call bunkering facility, a place for the ship to go and refuel. On land, yeah. And there's a great deal of interest in Asia, in building the bunkering facilities in Singapore or Tokyo or even Korea. LNG on a ship, is that going to be more, what do you call it, dispatchable more quickly? It can bring up the energy. Yeah, this is really good. So historically, LNG was, my friend who lives here in Hawaii says, they're doing fresh Iraq. He says, well, it's like getting married. So if you go to the old way the model contract would work, you had to find a buyer and developer of the LNG, someone to build the tankers, and a good credit worthy receiver. They would get together and they would go to the bank and say, we would like some risk capital for this. And the bank would say, no, we don't provide risk capital. We provide liquidity. You take the risk. So these three together, so that market was very locked in. It had very severe destination restrictions, but that's all changing now. Shorter term demand and the emergence of new kinds of technologies, which would allow shorter term and more flexible markets. Does this mean that the banks will take risks? Probably not, but there are other ways to fob off this risk. So one of the interesting problems we have in Asia is some countries have a lot of uncertainty or poor credit risk. But and also there's always been a requirement, you build a large installation facility to re-gasify this field because it comes in as a liquid from the tanker, right? So it has to be re-gassed and turned back into a gas. But the development of something called floating storage re-gasification units. Oh, you mean FSRU. Exactly, FSRU. That these now offer enormous potential and flexibility because if your country doesn't pay, you can refloat it and move it somewhere else. It's like a barge. It's like a barge. And you have tugboats or other boats that will take it away. Put it into position and they just take it away. So you leave it there for a while as long as they pay the bill? Yeah, as long as they pay. And take it away if they're not. Actually credit worthiness is a big problem in this business for these to expand the market among the traditional buyers. So if you're careful about risk and you don't want to lose your investment, you're going to be careful about investing in a short facility. Yeah. Country may not be completely stable. Yeah. And I think for gas, part of the problem is it's really still not as cheap as coal. So national policies in the Asian countries have to say, well, pay a little more for the gas because it's worth it to clean up local air pollution or because it's worth it for a long time, secure energy source for us. Yeah. Well, conflict means that ultimately there will be a change. Ultimately there'll be a transformation, a transition from coal, which is I guess most those countries are relying on coal to LNG. What's your timeline on this, Lou? So I think that right now if you think about the international financial institutions like the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation and IFC, they are not financing any new coal-fired power plants with these public funds or these public financing instruments. So that's the beginning of the transition, really? Yes. But the Asian Development Bank still finances coal plants, right? Japan actually has one on the books. The Philippines is considered a big coal plant. So the pace at which the countries decide is really going to be a matter of policy. And for them to move their policy away from coal, I think they're going to have to have strategies which show them that it's not too much more expensive, that they can build out the internal use, internal infrastructure for gas, power plants. In many cases, these smaller countries like Vietnam and Thailand, they may not have the scale to really make these plants work. So we're going to have to find a unique financial instrument to do this. And that, in turn, may depend on the technology of these FSRU units. Because if it gets more efficient, then the cost of the LNG goes down. And maybe even goes down below the cost of coal, maybe even one day. Anything's possible. Okay, well, I was interested in getting a prediction on how long that would take. And I guess it's not easy. You want to give me a five years, ten years? You could get substantial displacement over the next 20 years. 20 years. These are long-term projects at the same time. And I, in turn, would like to make a prediction for you. We're going to take a break now. And my prediction is that we'll be back in one minute.  It moves quickly. I'll be right back. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. Okay, we're back. And I guess my prediction was exactly right. That was exactly one minute. This is Lou Puliarisi. He's visiting Hawaii from his operation. His headquarters in Washington, D.C. He's the CEO, the chair, rather the president of EPRINC, the Energy Policy Research Foundation in Washington. And he's here to go in many different directions. We say we're in the space between energy economics, petroleum economics, and public policy. And we've been doing that since 1944. 1944. Not me personally. You're looking pretty well. So, in this part of the show, we want to talk about something different. Last part of the show, we talked about the coming conflict. That was very interesting between LNG and coal in Asia. Now, this part of the show, we're moving on to another issue, one in the United States, one under the rubric of our Energy in America banner. And that is President Trump's strategy for energy dominance in quotes in the U.S. So, Lou, this is so interesting. Dominance? Quezca say dominance. What does that mean? Well, you know, I'm not sure exactly what that means. Maybe only President Trump knows that. But I mean, if we look at what's happened in North America, it's a quite remarkable story. And we just did some analysis on this. I'll send it out to you. If you took the three countries of North America, because that's what you really have to do, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and you said, okay, how much do these countries, when they're put together as a single unit, how much oil do they import? And how much gas do they import? And it's true that the U.S. still physically brings in 10 million barrels a day. But we send out five million barrels a day in value-added products, and mostly refined products. And for North America as a whole, if you blend in Mexico and the U.S., our net imports are only four million barrels a day. And within a few years, North America, that is the U.S. can of Mexico together, will be net zero import. Yes, we will import and export, but our net imports of petroleum will be zero. Within a year or so, our net exports, our net imports of natural gas will go to zero. So it's really going down, it's going to a wash. North America is no longer going to be a net draw on world supplies of gas and oil. So we are sort of already heading for dominance. But we do have, I do think in this sense, the President Trump has some points. We have a regulatory program that creates a lot of uncertainty. And the National Environmental Policy Act, I always tell this story, I worked in the Interior Department for the few years, right? And the Secretary decided, oh, let's improve the grazing lands out west. So that's about 10 million dollars worth of fencing, and we have all these public lands in the U.S. We then went ahead in order to meet all the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and not be sued, we spent 100 million dollars writing environmental impact statement. And so you have to ask yourself, is that a regulatory strategy that really makes sense? And actually the President announced that all major infrastructure projects in the U.S. will now be approved within two years. The review process should not be more than two years. And I don't think anyone really realizes how difficult that is without major change of legislation, because you can't do anything in the U.S. without addressing endangered species. Getting permits from the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Interior Department, the Corps of Engineers, and the Corps of Engineers. There's a, talking about LNG, there's a major LNG project in Jordan Cove, Oregon, a very depressed area. The local community wants the project. The gas supplies for that project will come from Colorado and also Canada. And it will be right on the west coast, no Panama Canal, ship it strictly straight to Asia. And that project has had enormous problems in getting all the permits it needs to proceed. Even though the local community wants it, everybody wants that project to proceed. It means a lot of jobs. So where's the holdup? So the holdup is a lot of the environmental communities think, you know, that this project should be viewed as unnecessary, that we can instead produce power in Asia from renewable fuels and other things. And we don't really have a good system to kind of resolve these issues in the country. Or coordinate them when you have to go get permits from 10 Asians. And in fact, I can tell you that Jordan Cove itself met with the president. And he said, probably a little impetuously, don't worry, we're going to get all those permits well. There's a famous statement John Kennedy met, said once. A woman asked him a question, he would take, if he would, you know, see that this issue got fixed, they had to do with some problem out west. He says, I don't know, I'll check with the government. That would have been better for Trump to say that. Exactly. So and so I think all the other kinds of problems he's creating with his, you know, off the cuff of marks are not helpful to these real serious problems that we need. And get everybody frustrated in the environmental section. Because what it sounds like is I don't care what the issues are.  I want it approved. We've talked about this. Look, we have clean air. I mean, people may disagree with us, but the data is strong. We have very clean air in the United States. I mean, places that were terrible. Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, New York, the air there is so much better than it was 30 years ago. And whether you like it or not, that was a regulatory program. It probably could have been done more efficiently. It could have probably done at lower cost. But we got there. We got to a much cleaner. And you see many immigrants from China desperate to come here. The environment is so much better. Yeah, just for the air. But I got to add, though, that, you know, wear a couple of years ago in Beijing, you had to wear a mask. You still have to wear a mask. Okay. It hasn't got a lot better. So how do we want to achieve energy dominance? So I think the way to kind of crosswalk that rather aggressive term into something useful is we want to be able to export and expand the development of our natural resources that makes sense to export within the realm of common sense environmental rules. And I think there was a lot of misallocation of resources among the environment. You know, they fought very hard for the Keystone pipeline. They fought very hard against the Dakota Access pipeline. These major infrastructure projects, which were part of this North American petroleum medicine. And at the margin, I would have said, look, I think you're fighting a long issue. We should be working on research and development and transitioning into the future in a more regular way, not in these huge battles over things which have high economic value and were worth a lot to not just the capitalist, but the workers on the field. Well, but when you say dominance, I mean, my sense of it, if that is this administration's term, dominance, they're not including renewables, because I don't think they like renewables too much. Where does renewables fit in dominance? So I think, yeah, so the renewables are in many ways, and we've talked about this. The renewables are largely important in the utility sector. Utility sector today is still dominated, dominated by regulatory programs and authorities from local public utility commissions. So the president could hate renewable, but that has nothing to do with what Hawaii decided to do. The federal agencies have no kind of reach here unless it's in the subsidies, which are legislatively formed and approved and are slowly going to fade out over the next five years. Sounds like it, yeah. But presumably, these renewables now have had a pretty good head start, and in many cases, they're quite cost-effective. So if we have renewables, I mean, you and I have spoken about this many times, is it ultimately an economic question?  So yeah, so people say they're not, but they are more expensive than a lot of conventional fuels. Yeah. Everything's more than expensive than coal, but not every, but you're not going to build a new coal-fired power plant in the U.S. I don't care what President Trump's saying.  The public utility commission's not going to do it. It's too risky for them. It's not about whether they like coal or not. They're just not going to take on that risk. So where do renewables fit in energy dominance? I mean, do you see, I mean, I kind of imagine his vision for this is really excludes renewables, but if we look at it in terms of a better definition of dominance, do you see that, say, in five, 10, 15, 20 years, we will have national, we have the possibility of national dominance, including renewables with substantial percentage of renewables? So the installed capacity of renewables is going to continue to grow. Whether we dispatch that renewable power is going to depend on a lot of factors having to do with building out the grid, putting more resiliency into the grid. And if you look at the big models and the official government models, in 20 years, I still think you're not going to see more than 20%, 25% dispatchable power on renewables. And that's because?  If you look at the big models run by ExxonMobil and the government and everyone else, when you go out to 2040, you still end up with the share of coal declines a bit, the share of liquid petroleum use sort of stays where it is, gas grows, and all the cats and dogs are renewables are below 20%. The big 90% of the ship in the emissions, the reduction is efficiency. Yeah. And you know, that sort of thing. We have a lot of efficiency efforts here at Hawaii. So I'm just wondering, we don't have a minute left, but just wondering, he has made those pipelines happen. I mean, I think that's really... He's done what the executive branch can do to make them happen. It's really, in this case, it was all done. It was so it was easy for him to stop intervening. You could argue that what the President Obama was doing was he was still intervening after the deal was done. Right. So he made them both happen. He made them both happen. Very hard, but he did do that. So now we have the pipelines. I just wonder in this energy dominance analysis, if there's anything else, and you know, I'm just clearly, I don't agree, a lot of people in Hawaii don't agree with anything he does, but if he wants to achieve this dominance in his definition, what else can he do? He's not going to be able to control the PUCs in the various states. So in a traditional Republican administration, what he can do is say, okay, we should fight this out in the marketplace. We should kind of intervene a bit, at least in the research and development place, and we should intervene also to protect health and safety. But I'm going to take out all the kind of silly regulatory programs that are presenting good projects and going forward. So that would be, and then he would say, I'm for all of the above. Now everyone says they're for all of the above. That's a silly statement because all of the above, that's like going to the buffet. You know, that's not really, you should be for all of the above, that makes sense. Lots of things above don't make sense. Policy choices. Well, what about renewables? I mean, he doesn't particularly like renewables. What can he do to stop the march of renewables? I don't think he can do a lot. That's basically set by the Congress. It's already set. I don't think Secretary Perry is going to go on a tirade against renewables. You may see some of the massive amount of money that's going into climate research cutback. You're going to see that. I'm not sure all that research was useful anyway. And research will continue anyway. Yes. So one last question on this, on this very point about energy dominance. It seems to include exports, seems to include exports. Exports is a big theme of that. Big theme. And so from a policy point of view, forget about economics, national economics, and, you know, interested parties, if you will, who would make money by export. Is export in the interest of the United States? Absolutely. I think as a kind of beacon of stability and democracy and the security of the United States, that having the U.S. as a major supplier to allies and friends around the world of not just natural gas, we're now exporting over a million barrels of crude oil to Asian markets. Which we could stop exporting if you wanted. We could stop. We had to change the law to permit it. It's got to be strategical. The other thing, and you mentioned this before we started the show, is that export has a diplomatic implication. Exactly. A global diplomacy is involved in export. Can you talk about that? Yes. If you look at President Trump's visit to Poland recently, before he arrived there, the polls announced that they were buying LNG from the United States. Which is something, because they normally buy gas from, so it's different. They wanted to show that there was an alternative to gas from. They wanted to show that the U.S. could be, and the U.S. wanted to show that we could be relied upon to provide this gas, and so it was a symbolically, if not a substantively a big deal. It's a very important symbol. And it really is. And within Europe now there's a lot of attempts to install more LNG receiving facilities to find more ways to use U.S. gas. To avoid dependence on gas from. As a counterweight. This is a counterweight. Yeah. Great.  I'm so glad we get to spend social time together and everything on this trip for sure. Absolutely. Thank you so much for coming down. And thank you for all the shows we've done over the past one couple of years. It was my pleasure. It's lovely to have you here. Thanks, Jay. Thank you.


Oh not so fast. Not so fast. No! How's it going everybody? Dottonoi here back with another round of Dragon Ball Fighters Rank Matches and that's right we are once again using one of my favorite teams Vegeta blue Super Saiyan 4 Gojita and Jiren. Jen? Oh no we're on the dramatic finish now. Oh we're on the dramatic finish stage. Now this just got a lot more intense. Will we be seeing a dramatic finish? I'm nervous. First of all we have to get this guy out of here dude. He is not allowed to stay. Oh beautiful. We're gonna get him out of here right now. Unfortunately this means we do have to give up the corner though. It's worth it. It's worth it for a dramatic finish. I do anything. It's the proper stage Gojita needs to live. Oh don't ever try that. That was so scary. Why did he test me already? Oh I'm bad at the game. Dashed in. Unfortunately not gonna hit. That's fine. Calling Gojita get into bar. I'm sorry if I'm already like super quiet. In dramatic finish possibility possible matches. I just lose it dude. I am so quiet 100% of the time. Nice defense. Oh no way. Oh that could have been sick. We almost had a double Sunday. Wasn't meant to be though. Oh hold them down. I don't know if we're gonna be able to make it. It may be. I don't know. We might have to use our stacks here. Let's hope the stacks are enough Gojita. I've been stacking him up but against sparking glass it doesn't seem likely. No even with stacks it wasn't enough. Sea assist. Beautiful sea assist. Well now I wish I saved the stacks honestly. Maybe a level three with Jiren would have been the better call. Oh no. He's gonna make me use my sparking as well.  Vegito don't do this. Oh he didn't. Wow. I've all switched in. Oh no. Yes. Double counter double the fun. Don't mess with Jiren. He doesn't play that game. Jiren doesn't play fighters. He plays Jiren fighters. Come on get up. Oh that was. Jiren's my favorite character. Jiren is my favorite character in the whole game. Nice he switched. He knows. He knows. Nice heavy. Caught me midair. I really want him to switch out into Goku Black. Obviously if we're gonna get the dramatic finish we have to leave Gojita for last. This is the awkward stage of trying to get a dramatic finish where they wait. We might see a level three here. We just it's just a matter of having the right character out and there we go. Normally you wouldn't hear somebody happy to be getting hit by a level three but Goku Black has made his appearance and I'm hoping that this will be the last of VC of this character. Nice. Oh beautiful dive kick. I'm freaking out. Sea assist. Oh my goodness. Well I've been getting sauce by Goku Black players lately. Goku Black has been destroying me. Level one. Don't switch out. Good. Good enough I guess. I wish we could lose Jiren. I need to play smoother. Oh right on the finish line. Tell me this isn't where I'm going to choke. Tell me this is the. He also can dramatic fit. That's the cool thing about this dramatic finish is that honestly it can go either way right. Like he could be like nice running. Gojita is not in. Maybe I should switch to go to put that pressure on him. I just remembered that he's technically fighting for what as well. What free punish free punish. I'll take it. Level three for sure. Level three hard knock down. You got a block to mix. What is the Vegeta mix though. Do I just go low. Why stand up. I'm bad at the game. No CSS. He does have one bar. So that's going to be enough. Okay. It's coming down to the wire. This is going to be the worst because now he's going to want to switch out into gojita because he can technically do that for free. Don't do it. The sound defective like a hamster running on a wheel. I just realized we left their dramatic finish stage. Dude. Even a wind would feel so sour now. No. I didn't mean to level one. Am I dead for that. Please tell me. That's such a big mistake. I just wanted to super dash. Nice two bars. Gojita does have a level two super. This is unfortunate. This is the most unfortunate. No way dude. No way survive it. Oh what a way to lose. No. Okay. Here's what we have to do. We have to run that back. It's almost exactly like we did just then. Maybe a little bit smoother. We don't have to make it as rough around the edges. We can't let him escape that map. It's on now. I think he knows. I think he knows. All right. We can't let him escape that map. That is not something we can allow. Bad down heavy. I don't remember when I have smashed property. Beautiful. Got that bar. Thanks to gojita. So let's just bring Goku black now. Okay. I got a bar. Let's just get him down to the ground. No. Beautiful. Beautiful. Love to see it. Hold on. Do I have to pay you rent? I might have to pay you. Oh. I'm living in your. I just know exactly what you're thinking. I was going to say I'm living in your head red free. That's what I was trying to put together. Why did I drag? Why did I? Why? Oh, really bad mistake. You can't drag him or somebody while they're in blocks done. That is huge. He's probably going to switch in Jiren for that blue health. I can't blame him. I think I was thinking the exact same thing. Oh, that could have been bad. Okay. Just can't get, can't get a good angle on Vegeta. The Banshee Blast is nice. Two bars. Can't, I mean he could maybe kill with the seizes, but I don't think he can kill here. Nice. That's great. A lot of people struggle with the timing there. It's because that's just like that counter last so long. I need this dramatic finish so much. What if this isn't even the right time of day? Because there's technically two mountain stages. I think this is dust though. So this should be the right version. Ooh. Nice. 2M starter. Is that going to be enough though? I wish I could get a better combo starters on this. All right. We should take a level three. I think take a level three while we have it makes what's the mix last time we went low and he perfectly blocked it. I think this time we go dragon rush. That's a catch all. I'm going to spark myself. Nice. Shields up. Shields up. The counter. Oh, three bars. He probably will take a hard knockdown here or at least I would get get rid of that timing. Yeah. Get rid of the sparking timing. Can't blame you. Is it going to come down to Gojira? He might want to finish himself again. I have to keep bringing that up because it's what I'm afraid to reflect. Nice. We saw the reflect coming. Just kick this. No. Can we just win now? Focus on the win now. I literally said don't kick this man. Oh, damn it. Dramatic finishes are so tough. Counter. Let's go. I'm still playing Gojira. That's the thing is sometimes you can't stop Gojira. Six, seven. You're done for. Oh, maybe not. Overhead. Nice. And now we still have a level seven. We could still go to our way out. Okay. That was almost bad. We could still go to our way out of this. So, you think Gojira blue is better huh? Let me show you the GT way of doing things. Let's go.  So, we lost our chance to dramatic finish that game. But thankfully with the level seven, we were able to clean it up. We're going to get one more chance. This is so stressful. I feel like I have been so focused. I haven't been talking at all. I'm just trying to get this great dramatic finish dude. Did we get the rematch? I feel like this ain't looking good. Oh man. I wonder if he feels half the tension I do. There is a chance like he's like not even thinking about the dramatic finish. Nice pickup on Vegito into the corner. I'm an up tech here. Whoa. I didn't even know Gojira could turn around with that move. Whoa. That was disgusting. Little air dash after the Vegito assist to get an overhead. Didn't even know that was possible. That was that was crazy. Drag it off. But it is. Oh, we have to spark so early. We've been getting mixed. All right. Question is how early do I want to get him out? I think this early is fine enough. Let's get let's deal with Goku Black. Honestly, Goku Black's been saucing me. All right. Keep him in the corner. Vanish. Do we take a level three? I'm thinking yes to be honest. I'm thinking yes. Final comment. Get him into the corner. He blocked low last time. He might there. Yeah. He might spark again. Whoa. Hell of the vanish to get around the the the reflect. I almost said sparking. We used that a long time ago. Three bars. How's he going to spend it? How's he going to divvy up the meter? C assist. He's trying to get a discount and he's going to secure the discount. Man. Okay. Vegito's out though. At least at least Gojira staying on the bench. We want Gojira on the bench. Unfortunately, we also want these characters out of our way. So, we'll have to see how we can go about doing that. Teleporter right before we get the final hit. And the C assist catches both characters. He's going to bring in Jiren. I'm okay with that. It's not too much blue life. Oh, did you see that anti beam? That was sick. No, no, no, no, don't even do that. No, it covers that angle. Try to jump up in Super Dash. Five bars. How does he spend it? Can he get the kill here? Honestly, don't know. No C assist in sight. We're living. Twist it. Pop it. Jiren basically bop it with human beings. That's crazy. Dive kick. Should have held that one. Should have held that one way longer than I did. That is probably going to be the end of Jiren. And if we're really unlucky, Vegito's probably going to get out as well. That's the literal worst case scenario. He also chose to go with Gojira. Oh, no. You know what? This is how I want to go out. If I don't beat Gojira, I deserve to be dramatic finished. That's how this should work. We're going to see it, dude. Maybe. I got nowhere to run anymore. I've played my chips on the table for this moment. Three bars.  Level one. Don't switch out. No, dude. You wouldn't. What? Are you going to switch out? I'm in vids. Wait. Is he still fighting? Is he still fighting me? I can't tell if he's fighting for real. I think he's going for the dramatic finish. Maybe he just knew we'd be left with the exact amount of health we needed. I'm going to try, dude.  I hope. I really hope that's what he's thinking, because right now I feel invincible. I feel invincible. He does. He does want to. I can respect that. Don't worry. I will pay your kindness back, sir. I'm not after your Gojira either. Yes. Why are you throwing out moves? What if I get what if I get hit by one of your moves? Do you not want to kill me with the dramatic finish? What? Just take me out. Maybe he didn't want to. I don't know. Frightening me. That was a great set, either way. Again, this would be so awkward if this isn't the right stage for the dramatic, but hopefully at least it was. Oh my god. What a battle. There's no way we actually got a rematch. Let's go. Oh no. I'm already losing. That's not great. That's not great at all. Oh, beam. Dude, I'm so excited. Another chance for the dramatic. We messed up in every different way. This is literally cryptid hunters, but for dramatics, dude.  Get off me.  He is playing with finesse right now. This is the best I've seen the Gojira blue.  That mix up was pretty elite. Oh my goodness. I'm getting sauce. I tried to hit medium right there. Thought I could hit a button. Could not get away with that. He is. He's looking poised right now. He is looking poised. I thinking I'm thinking about switching out into Jiren. But then again, I don't know if it's worth it, dude. I think we should just swing. Wow. A dragon rush after that was smart. Every decision he's made has been so smart. I think we do have to switch. I regret using sparking, honestly. I thought I could maybe break up the momentum, but the momentum is not getting broken up. All right. He switched out from Gojira. I have to get off the ground, meaning I think the safest way to do that is to tag. Oh, could have taken a hit there. 2s. Got to remember the 2s there. That would have saved me. Take a level three. Let's get some momentum back for ourselves. Slow the game down. We're going to slow it down. Got to focus, though. I think he sparks here for sure. Really? I read it wrong. The range on Vegeta's kicks. That was nice. Oh no, dude. This is bad. This is bad. This is not our most competitive game. Down tech. Got him. Got him. Meet him halfway. Meet him halfway. Level three. Slam him down. Let's slow the pace down again. We got to get this character out of here. I think he sparks here again, but do we take that risk? Dude, he reacted to it, though. Not so fast, Vegeta. Let's go the counter. Not so fast. He fought back. Beam assist. At least that gets me out of there. I tried to counter it. Oh, and he still picks up the C. Even after the whiff, drag rush. That was deadly.  Okay, well, now we're at risk of getting... Now we're at risk of the drag finish ourselves. Again. Got him. Fight him back. Fight him back. Nice. I got to remember to super dash after that. Always forget that. That has cost me a lot of easy pickups. Okay, knock him down. Beautiful. Not plus. Not plus. Not plus. That's the kick. That's plus.   I think he has all the tools to. He can level one, level five. The question is, does he want the... Wait, wait. He cost the bar. Level three. Is that going to kill? I don't know if that could... Maybe that's what he wanted. Uh-oh. That's not good. I just realized maybe that's what he wanted. No. No. I'm not going. I'm not going away just yet. No. Maybe I am. Oh, I'm not going away just yet. Again, I wanted to work for this finish. Please stop running. Could barely caught that. Level three, level five, level three. I think this should kill with limit break. Oh, it was close. We've done it. We've done it. We've got it. It's a rage. It's... We feel invincible. Oh, not so fast. Not so fast. No. Unfortunately, not the way I wanted it to go personally, but that was six. Dude, I'm glad the battle ended with somebody getting it. That was so sick. All right, hold on. Let me pop up. I'm a spark. You know what? Hold on. I got... Oh, he's so good. In phase one, he is nice with it. Okay. We've got to... We've got to adjust. We've got to adjust. It is crazy out here. Mash, mash. Oh, he's so smart. He knows when we're going to mash. He's got the reads. Now, I at least got to charge him rent. He's set up shopping my head. Look, he's moving the sofa around. No. This is a covenant performance right here. I should put my hands back on the controller in case he... That was... Always... We chained... All right. My entire mentality just changed. Game on. Game on. Let's go. I'm not worried about the dramatic finish anymore. I simply am playing fighters. I dropped my combo. Let's go. No, not where. Who told you to do that, Jiren? It wasn't me.  It wasn't me. I've made a mistake. I've fat-figured a quarter circle. Nice. Nice. I should actually quarter circle through that. Got a Jiren grand charge through it. Like this. Oh, exactly like that. Jiren. He doesn't play by the... How many times am I going to say? Jiren doesn't have a rulebook. Let's go. I think he'll spark again. I'm going to try to bait it, though. I mean, it's just not a good bait overall. It's not as fast as I want that option to be. Okay. Well, he can't dramatic finish me here, so he's going to keep swinging. That's important to remember is he's going to keep swinging. Nice. Okay. We've got Goku block out of the way. I'm trying to be quiet and focused. I don't remember how many stacks I have. Probably five at this point. Beautiful guard cancel punish. That was nice. What a guard. Five bars. How's he going to use them? I would take a hard knockdown, but that's knowing that I'm going to claim up on defense. Maybe he doesn't want to risk it. There it is. Hard knockdown. Did you have enough time to fall or can you get an overhead on me from this? Are you just falling? DP? Oh my goodness, the range. I'll take it. Nice. Lovely dragon, Mush. Mush. I can't even speak. I can't even speak up too hyped. No way. Am I dead for that? No, he spent it on a vanish. He spent it on a vanish. My cat barged into the room, trying to throw up my focus. C-assist. God, why the C-assist, though? God, why a C-assist, though? Nice. We're still alive. It was too good. Oh, that was too good. Great games. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this set.

As I was making the Domingo Hermon sticky fingers rosin bag breakdown, I ran into this at bat in the first inning where he faces Carlos Correa and I thought it was a great bit of pitch sequencing. So if you're into this thing, here we go. Thank you very much for watching. Subscribe to the channel if you like it. This is a little quick one. The first pitch he's gonna open up fastball inside and the ump calls it a strike. So now Carlos Correa is kind of thinking, oh wait, I don't, maybe he thinks that's too inside. Now he's exposed there. He's gotta protect against the inside. So Domingo Hermon puts another fastball on top of the last one, but this time outside. So both 93 miles per hour. Pitch number one is the one that was inside. Pitch number two goes outside. He gets that call for a strike as well. And now that he's on the outside edge, he's just gonna play around on the outside edge.  Really cool pitch sequencing cause you can see same arm slot, you know, same basic movement of the pitch but one is way slower and gets an off balance swing. And that one kind of moved arm side run they call it. So it went left to right. Now with two strikes, he's gonna exploit that pitch with another one. He's gonna say, okay, you just saw a pitch that started outside and came into you.  Now I'm gonna throw one goes the other way and he gets the swing and miss using the slider. And I don't even know how good of a slider this is cause it seems like, you know, this is the type of pitch you see a batter swing at and you're like, what are you doing? But he was set up so well cause he had the fastball on the outside. He had the change up on the outside. Correa is trying to protect it and that ball goes way away and you got a pitch to waste so you can afford throwing a ball but Correa chases. I thought that was awesome pitch sequencing. In the very next at bat, Buckston's up and he goes, curveball first pitch looking, just they call it a get me over curve. Probably knew he wasn't gonna swing. Boom, you're ahead, strike one.  Wow, that's nice.  Off of the fastball, he's gonna match it with a slider. The next pitch. There you go. And now on this one, it's overlaid, it's overlaid so you can't really tell but he doesn't swing at this slider. He just kind of thinks about it and stops himself but Domingo threw a pitch that went right to left. That's what's in Buckston said. That's what he last saw and he sequences right off of that and goes back to the change up, does the same thing he did to Correa but opposite throws one that goes left to right, swing and miss. First inning, Domingo used his full arsenal, sequenced all his pitches and to sequence them well like that, you gotta hit all your spots perfectly as well. So I thought that was cool. I thought it was interesting. I was like, oh damn, good job, Domingo. I'll talk about it on a video and people may enjoy it and they may watch it and if they do, they may subscribe to the channel.
