Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. And today we do not have a chapter review due to a holiday in Japan that I was unaware of until this morning. It was a very unfortunate way to wake up, but that is meaningless to us because there is always an abundance of One Piece related going on to discuss. And in this case, I thought it might be a good idea to address a certain piece of promotional material that read its head about a week ago, which sent a bit of a shockwave throughout the online community because it did signal the inevitable end of One Piece. And we'll get into how seriously we should be taking this, but the imaging question that made its way around would be this. And the important information we have here was translated by PRMA Leo on Twitter, as now is the time to reread One Piece to prepare for the last arc in the future. And then it also noted that this is almost the first time that the manga has been officially promoted as nearing its end, which isn't exactly true. And I suppose that's why they chose to use the word almost. Prior to this, though, the most recent statement on this matter came to us in a very unexpected vehicle being YouTube. Etch Your A Oda conducted an interview with The Fishers Channel, which is absolutely massive in Japan. In fact, they have just under six and a half million subscribers. So for any of you watching, that is what it's going to take for this channel to get an interview with Oda. So hit that subscribe button right now and let's make this happen. But admittedly, we do have an awfully long way to go. But the important aspect of this interview is that Etch Your A Oda pretty blatantly stated that he would like to end One Piece in five years. And after hearing this, the internet was divided into two camps. One group of people who took this as a set in stone sign that the world was going to end in exactly five years from that very day. And then there was another set of people who dismissed the statement entirely because it's Oda. And Oda is great at most things. Timelines is not one of those things.  And they always end up being pretty wildly inaccurate. And I suppose that's why we're currently 23 years into the story with no seeming imminent end in sight if you were to judge it by the story itself that is. However, several months after Oda's YouTube interview one of the editors of One Piece who was known only to me as Naito was also interviewed via traditional media. And there was a lot of really fascinating stuff in this such as Naito claiming that the Wanoak is a story which will heavily relate to the final chapter of One Piece which as manga readers will tell you in a very non-spoilers way I think we can now confirm to be quite true. But Naito also expanded upon Oda's initial statement with the following which was translated by the ever reliable Sandman. Naito can't help doubting that One Piece will end in five years from what he heard from Oda about future stories. But at the same time he says now that Oda himself said it with certainty he believes Oda will finish One Piece in five years. Naito feels the pacing in the Wanoak is so rushed that One Piece can finish in five years. And this is what caused me personally to start taking this whole end of One Piece business just a bit more seriously. Because to be perfectly frank one statement about Oda regarding time is nigh on meaningless to me. But in this interview Naito very much doubled down on Oda's timeline and not only that but he made sure to make it clear that Oda had approved all of these comments so it's not just Naito acting on his own volition. And the reason why I go through all of this is because it puts our latest announcement into some greater context. First the creator proposed a vague end date then the production team backed up that end date. And now we have a third source of input which is the publication's promotional material also adhering to this endpoint. Although the five year number was not explicitly mentioned. Any number of these factors alone is irrelevant. However seeing them together paints a very clear picture. A picture that many of us may not want to look at but it is staring us dead in the face and it's saying that One Piece is ending. With that said I do still very much encourage you all to maintain some healthy skepticism. We do very much need to keep in mind especially with promotional material like this that there is a profit motive behind such an announcement. You know Shueisha isn't printing this material for the benefit of the readers and when they say things like now is the time to reread One Piece what that actually translate into is now is the time to purchase 90 plus volumes of our best-selling manga. It's very deviously clever really. In some ways it's kind of like a positive threat. Reminding readers that One Piece is on a timeline and that they should very much hop on board to become part of the finale hype before it's over. Even though we are still very much literal years away from such a thing. And yes I am confident that we are several if not many years away from this being a cold stark reality that I exist in. And in regards to that I should address something to do with the wording of this translation because on Twitter Leo uses the word arc as in prepare for the last arc in the future. And this is one of those bits of forever confusion within the fan base which constantly argues about the distinguishment between sagas and arcs. They are different, they are very different in fact but many people still use them as interchangeable words but basically a saga is an overarching story with a specific long-term focus and within that saga there are a series of arcs which tell shorter stories usually separated by a specific location in manga that each build up towards the greater saga. And so the classic One Piece example would be the alabaster saga. This piece of story has a long-term focus of saving the nation of alabaster, defeating Sir Crocodile and following the central figure of Vivi. This saga is then composed of five arcs being Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum and finally alabaster with each of these containing shorter location specific stories that wrap up in a satisfying arc but are all related by the general theme of the saga. And this even works in weirder cases like say Dragon Ball Witch for whatever reason labels its arcs as sagas and then they label their sagas as groups which is kind of odd and annoying but the format does remain exactly the same. But due to having used the word arc this sent some legitimate panic into the fan base because an arc generally isn't all that long. And if we were being told to prepare for the final arc then that would mean that One Piece is ending very, very soon. Now wherever it was subsequently pointed out by another Twitter user that this article had used the kanji that we would best translate as saga or basically whatever denotes the bigger picture story. So with that in mind we can pretty safely say that this article is pointing us towards the last saga of One Piece which is unfortunately reasonable. And just to give you an idea of how long a given saga can be we are currently in the Yonko Saga and we have been there ever since 2015 when Zobe began publication. So we've already spent five years within a particular saga which has been playing out over four different arcs being the aforementioned Zo as well as Hokkei Kylan, the Reverie and of course Wano. So I do think this is very much in keeping with the timeline Oda proposed in his YouTube interview. After the Yonko Saga is completed we will have one more grand piece of story before One Piece comes to an end. Whatever that will be called whether it's like the pirate king saga or the world war saga whatever ends up happening and just thinking about how close that is it's pretty hype for me although it's also bittersweet because I never want this series to end. Although I definitely don't anticipate the final saga being quite as long as the Yonko Saga which has the pleasure slash burden of housing the Wano arc which is gigantic even by One Piece standards. In fact, putting things into a timeline it's very difficult to see Wano being completed before mid 2021. I mean, yes, we are very much getting into the serious stuff now in the manga but in a very weird way it still feels like we're in the middling section of the arc. There's still lots of setup a whole ton of mysterious characters and almost certainly flashbacks still to be had. And what's more interesting to think about is that Oda's interview actually occurred in August of 2019. So that was when he first floated the idea of having five years remaining. And here we are now in August 2020 so that's chopped one year off that end date giving us a theoretical four years and by the time Wano ends, look at best I think that would give us three and a half years remaining to tell the final saga all according to this very rough and vague timeline of course. And three and a half years is a long time in theory for most series I guess. Meanwhile, for One Piece you think back on arcs like Dressrosa which took two years to publish and yes, I mean arc not saga. If we're talking the Dressrosa saga then we were in that ever since Punk Hazard so that entire saga was well over three years. And that's sort of thinking very much impacts our predictions because one would assume that the very final arc would be something of a grand affair which doesn't leave us with a lot of room to head off elsewhere other than you know, becoming the pirate king which puts a lot of potential future stories that some people are very much looking forward to in peril such as an eventual Elbafark which other than Laugh Tale itself is probably the most mysterious island remaining that this series has been consistently building up towards ever since the early days. And while this may not be mutually exclusive there's also the tricky matter of a fourth road pornoglyph to solve as well as the looming threat of the world government as many of our straw hat allies are now in potentially perilous situations as well as everything else remaining there's a lot to solve in One Piece. And so I personally stand without a Tainto's initial train of thought in that I can't picture One Piece ending in another four years not from where we currently are anyway. And Naito very much confirms that assessment by stating that he knows the stories which Oda wishes to tell after Wano but in regards to that it's not impossible I guess it seems impossible right now because of how Oda currently constructs One Piece as this intricately detailed slow burn exploration. But Naito did also mention that he feels that Wano is being somewhat rushed in order to meet this self-imposed end date by Oda. And while I obviously won't spoil anything from Wano for anime only watches I think that Manga readers can by and large agree that the pace was really quick and significantly in recent chapters especially. And it's been quite a jolt actually because act two of Wano felt super slow and now things have sped up to the point where I almost feel like we've missed a huge chunk of story. And this format could very much continue into a future saga. You know, maybe we could squeeze four or five different arcs into it like a quick zoo style stop at obaf and so on and so forth. But even then I have such a hard time visualizing wrapping up everything so quickly without it feeling very, very sudden which I suppose is always going to be the risk of One Piece as well as any other story that gains this kind of prominence. Endings are difficult, especially if the endings center around grand mysteries. I mean, in my experience, the solving of the mystery tends to be my least favorite aspect of those kind of stories, which in this case, I suppose would be landing on Laugh Tale and finding the One Piece. There's just something so engaging about not knowing the answer that will instantly vanish as soon as we discover it. But what's more, I really do not want One Piece to be rushed towards an ending. I don't want it to be remembered as a series that was absolutely fantastic with a mediocre finale. We are not game of thrones in One Piece. We simply cannot have that. With that said, though, it is still the right decision to place faith in odor. He has held this beast for 23 years now and with each and every new chapter, you can still feel his passion and dedication for bringing this realm and its characters to life. Even with really minor characters and seemingly irrelevant locations, the utmost effort is spent making them the absolute best they could possibly be. So if we're looking at a timeline of ending One Piece four years from now, then it can probably begrudgingly be done. And while the promotional material says that now is the best time to reread the series, that's kind of redundant to me because any time is a good time to be rereading One Piece.

If you're watching this, you're probably wanting to get better at breaking, but you may not quite know the right place to start. I know the feeling. Just know that by being here, you're in the right place. What's up y'all, this is Kai from Vertigo Vision, and today I'm making a video because nine years ago, I had just discovered the amazing world of breakdancing, also known as breaking. And when I saw it, I was immediately hooked. I went straight into YouTube and began consuming as many videos as I possibly could, and although I was learning move after move after move, I still realized that these moves looked half-baked, and they didn't look very good and I wasn't improving fast at all. And although these tutorials were great and super helpful, I would later discover that there was something really, really important that I wasn't getting from any of them, and that something was a sense of direction. So whether this is your first ever breaking tutorial, you're very lucky if it is, or you've been practicing for a while now, this video is going to show you how to quickly and effectively learn breaking, so that both muggles and breakers will be impressed by your moves. I highly recommend you take notes, it will help a lot. That way you'll be able to jot down any questions as they come, you'll be able to leave them in the comments below, and you'll have something to take with you after this video is done. If you clicked on this video and you've made it this far, it means you're officially serious about leveling up and getting into breaking. So let's just get one thing out of the way. Do not call it break dancing. The reason we don't do that is because in the 80s, breaking got very, very popular. Like Fortnite fidget spinner level popular, it became a trend. And once the trend was over, breaking got chewed up and spit out and left to rot. And it took a long time for breaking to come back up to the level it is now. So we don't call it that because it is a reminder of bad times and it will save you months of community embarrassment by not calling it that. So just don't call it break dancing. You're welcome. The whole point of this video is to show you that although this dance looks so crazy from the outside, it is just like any other skill. It can be broken down into smaller building blocks and we are going to take it slow but effective. We're not going to build a giant Death Star today, we're just going to build the skeleton so that your Death Star can be nice and clean and round and beautiful. So when we look at the whole art of breaking, it can be divided into four main categories. Top rock, footwork, freezes and power. When you watch beginner breaking tutorials, most of them out there are going to try to teach you one individual move that falls into one of these four categories. But instead of spending hours trying to learn all of these different moves and only retaining like 20% of them, let's instead focus on the leading dominoes or the key positions and points of each category so that when you do learn these moves, you'll be able to get them a lot quicker. And I identify these positions by realizing that after nine years of breaking, my peers and I always tend to go back to these four same positions. No matter what we're practicing, we end up always going back to these four positions. The thing that each of these four positions have in common is that they are all centers of balance. This first position is the neutral top rock position. It's nothing special. It's mostly just standing up and making sure that you can maintain your balance. As unseeming as it looks, it is extremely important that you're able to always be able to come back to the neutral position. Neutral position is essentially standing up, but making sure that your weight is mostly on the balls and toes of your feet. If your heels are digging into the ground, you're going to notice that you have a lot more weight that you can deal with. It feels a little bit clunkier if you're trying to put your heel down on every single step, but if you raise your toes and your feet, you'll notice that you feel a little bit lighter and you don't have to come from my speed. Practicing your top rocks with the neutral top rock position in mind increases your understanding of balance and form. It's also going to help you get down easier and with balance. So the basic top rock movements I recommend you practice with this position in mind is one, cross step, and two, kick side step. And I'll leave some links below of good tutorials that I think can teach that move. Second key position we'll be learning today is the full work neutral position, also known as position zero. The way you do this is you stay on your toes, not on your feet like an Asian squat on your toes, keeping your knees closer to the ground and making sure your upper body is balanced along your center of gravity. The reason why this is an important position for footwork is because if you can balance on your own without using your hands, these moves that require hands will be a lot easier because you already don't have to rely on your hands. When I started breaking, I didn't know about this position. So when I would learn footwork, I would always make sure that I ended up here. And not only does that make my footwork slower, but it looks slower and less clean, looks sloppy. On the other hand, if I can make sure that my neutral position is solid and when I end up doing moves, it takes a lot less effort. It's less energy and it looks cleaner. So whenever you learn footwork, keep neutral position in mind. You should always be able to switch and change weights quickly and effortlessly. The moves I'm going to recommend for beginners to learn with neutral position in mind are kickouts, hooks, and six step. This third position I'm about to teach you is for ground power, back freezes, and back movements.  You see? It's not touching the ground. If you're on your lower back when you're practicing moves like this, it's not only harder to move off of your back because you have to get all the way up, but you might also hurt yourself. Don't hurt yourself.  You can practice this whenever you're bored. People might look at you funny. It doesn't really matter who cares. And the reason why this position is important is because I can always transition to ground freezes. It's the back motion for whenever you want to move. And once you end up learning back rocks, it's important for that too. The moves I'm going to recommend for beginners to learn with neutral back position in mind are back rocks, back spins, and eventually, one nose. This fourth and final position I'm going to teach you guys is going to help you with your solid air power and also for air freezes. And that is going to be split handstand. And if you cannot do handstand yet, it's okay. All you got to do is find a wall to practice on. If you don't have a wall, you can always practice by keeping a foot on the ground. And just, you know, try enough slowly until you can get to the split. What mastering the split handstand is going to do for you is help you improve your leg form by keeping them engaged just like you were on your back, which is going to improve your power moves. It's going to improve your freezes. And it's going to improve your air control, which is going to help you with moves like flares, swipes, and other power moves that require you to be on your hands and off your feet. Like I said, split handstand requires a lot more attention than the others are going to. So I don't expect you to have it immediately, but this is a long-term investment. If you can get split handstand nice and strong, all of your power moves and all of your freezes are going to benefit from it. And the few moves I'm going to recommend for beginners to learn alongside split handstand position are handstand variations. So being able to do a handstand or being able to switch your legs, swipes, and then when you're eventually ready, try flares. And like I said, if you have any questions below of those moves, you can always leave it below. So there you guys have it. We have our four neutral positions. First, we have toprock neutral position. Second, we have forward neutral position. Third, we have back neutral position. And fourth, we have handstand neutral position. This is going to be the 20% of effort that is going to benefit 80% of your practice. And while these steps are by no means everything in the book, they are definitely extremely paramount and will help you for the rest of your journey to come. Thank you guys for watching this video.

Polyhydroxyalkanotes, PHAs, are biopolymers produced by microorganisms that have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their unique physical and chemical properties. PHA production can be achieved through either pure or mixed cultures, and both approaches offer advantages and disadvantages. The main challenge for PHA production is the high cost of the feedstock, which must be carefully selected and optimized. Additionally, the downstream processing of PHAs requires further optimization to achieve economically viable products. Despite these challenges, PHA production offers great potential as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based materials.

y So I I would say he was probably wrong with that So and just for those of you who don't know, I'll keep this very brief This is a miss asian argument that comes out of the 1920s And it was considered to be a nail in the coffin for central planning Which was that without the information of price. There's no way to efficiently allocate resources So if you have a just a moment It's so weird. Sorry. I've heard this so many times Well, I'm not talking to you man.  Okay. Just try it's not all about you. Okay So if you've got a ton of steel, where do you allocate that? Well in the free market system You allocate it to the person who's willing to bid the highest who believes he can get the most value out of it now Again, object value is not objective. It's subjective. So it's all a matter of perception without the signal of price there's simply no way to Allocate things efficiently. So what happens is instead of going to the highest bidder It goes to the most politically connected or the guy who's got the most blackmail material on the central commissioner and so on And to my knowledge I haven't studied this in a while, but to my knowledge There's no way To replicate these spontaneous decisions of hundreds of millions of people or billions of people around the world Which manifests itself in price. There's no way to replicate that Pull signal from price by some push signal, which is based on politics You got this one coming in. This is this is very easy to answer. We literally democratic Production, right? You don't need a state even you just need to democratically Uh, ask, you know, you get delegates for each community for each city and you vote on what needs to be done Right? If if all of a sudden you find out, oh, we didn't get enough bananas this uh, this quarter Okay, you fix it the next quarter by adding more bananas.  It's true. Very true. Yeah, but you're asking questions So we will jump into the next question We only have a couple left here this one coming in from Eric Eric Olafson says the Holodomor was not intentionally Having people starve and thus it wouldn't be murder I don't care This idea that we can read the minds of the people And oh did they want genocide? Was it an accident? Was it political? Was it punishment for the ukraine's resistance to? Collectivization how about we have a system where we don't have to try and mind read a century back to people long dust How about do we just have a system where people are free and own their own stuff and and on subject to these whims of these individuals This one coming in from do appreciate your question McCay says one argument against communism is that governments can't decide what we need to produce Could ai solve this in the future possibly if so, wouldn't that be a decent society to live in? No, it can we already answered this and yes Go ahead y'all Oh, I was just about to say the problem is to leave into the decision of something that doesn't pay the price of a bad decision And whether it's a group of people a mob or an ai If you have things that make decision for other people, they are not incentivized to do the right decision That's why the free market and free engagement with society is the only alignment of choices that punishes the right people If you want to go skydiving you go skydive, but then you take the risk of dying If you want to eat mcdonald you eat mcdonald, but then you take the risk of getting fat The only proper alignment of society is when each decision that is made yul smithy is made by the individual who will pay the price for it Imagine basing your society around whom to punish That's all I get. It's put to reward. Also same thing You got it and that's it for our questions We do want wait. Well, there's one more. Sorry the the legend rev says Since 1862 america has had over 40 federal regulations that have destroyed capitalism That's one of the main causes to our record high trade deficit inflation follows which is a factor of communism Regulations are a Necessary evil of capitalism. You can't have a capital society run correctly or run Efficiently enough without them if you if you have no regulations, you end up with miami and you have buildings collapsing You end up with uh, you know, afghanistan and buildings collapsing Or or the barrios in in brazil Yeah, it's same with the welfare state right these things are these are these are just things you have to have in capitalism There's no there's no formula that's going to be successful either way Well, no matter what you do it's going to be well. No, there is sorry and so no there isn't Yeah, so what has happened and this this comes out of the banking industry originally so The bankers would lend out multiples of their deposits Leverage lending and then sometimes they would bet wrong and in the past when the bank went bankrupt They would be able to take the houses of all the bank executives and and they would end up living under a bridge Which to me is just a few waste people's money or you should have consequences for your own bad decisions so Bankers didn't really like that So they pressured governments and governments were happy to comply in return for donations They created a corporation which we sort of mentioned earlier So now if you screw up as a business owner your personal assets are shielded from all liability And so because people have this fictional fascistic corporate shield Created by the governments not part of the free market at all Like I mean if you wanted to put your money into a bank Would you rather put your money into a bank where the guy would lose his home If he screwed up or where a guy would keep all of his three homes if he screwed up You'd want to be in the guy who was more liable so Corporations were created to allow massive pillaging without risk from the aristocracy from the 1% the the bourgeois I think you guys So now you need you need regulation because people aren't personally liable for the bad decisions the the corruptions the messes the the short changing the Bad things that they do if we simply allow the restoration as it would be in a free market of personal liability for Collective decisions that you make as a business owner. We wouldn't need regulation because people would be regulated not by Regulatory agencies they could basically just buy out and the revolving door of regulatory capture is well known They'd lose their home They might go to prison and that doesn't happen like as you know Not one person went to prison for the 0708 financial crash except in Iceland Nothing it bought so everybody got away with that and you can't expect people to do better if they keep getting away with stuff Point of information Corporations have nothing to do with fascism when Mussolini said that fascism ought to be called corporatism He wasn't talking about corporations. He was talking about corporatism as in of the body It had a lot to do with like the philosophy of thomas hobs And not at all to do with what we call it like Corporatism or corporatocracy is what people usually Mean when they try to talk about corporations and fascism union of large business and state power. I didn't mention Mussolini I mean, yeah, but it's not the but that's that that's not what fascism is It's not the union of large businesses and state power. That's part of it But like again fascist corporatism is a very specific thing and that's not to harp on you a lot of people get that wrong Stephen it's just it's it's a pet peeve of mine. I just got my name wrong, but that's all right. Okay That I've just got it wrong and and you're just like We are going to want to say folks our guests are linked in the description And that includes at the podcast So if you're listening to this via podcast if you look in the description box, you will find our guest links We really do appreciate them.

Sometimes it gets Controversial, but nonetheless we want to encourage you even though it does sometimes get that way one want to encourage you to be willing to love the other side no joke. I know it sounds corny, but i'm serious There's a certain maturity to recognizing you fervently disagree with somebody and still willing to be You could say respectful or their friend. In fact, tolerance necessitates that you disagree with someone And that's the one thing that I don't like i'll be honest and you know, this is one thing. Okay. I'll stop being neutral for a second I'll tell you about my personal philosophy. I do not like when people make it sound as if to be tolerant You shouldn't disagree with people I'm like no, what is that people have like I think they've used the word tolerance Say oh, you're intolerant if you disagree and it's like what no, that's not what intolerant means I think that's usually because people they really want to niceify everything They just want to make everything very nice because they just can't handle Hey, we're gonna disagree but it doesn't mean we have to hold a grudge And so do want to encourage you my dear friends one if you haven't yet hit that subscribe button As we have many more juicy debates coming up you guys There are going to be some big ones in particular.

Thanks for coming by We are pumped Let's see here, but yeah, I do want to I do want to yeah, I want to say faking mc faker sign. Thanks for coming by and Let's see here Cessus six. Thanks for coming by and slang. Thanks for dropping in We are pumped to have you here and yeah, I agree with you. I appreciate I see some of you guys are responding to what I said about tolerance is that not all not all not all but So in other words, some people say tolerance and they what they mean is tolerance, but a lot of people They are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. I'm not joking What they mean when they say oh to be tolerant. It's all it's almost like this It's almost as if they were to say, you know, if you disagree with somebody they go You need to be moral you need to start being moral you stop being so immoral You know in that that case it would be obvious that they would be kind of like where people would be like I'm immoral for disagreeing like have you lost your mind? Like you're you're nutty like you're you're seeming to just try to control me by saying that I'm like immoral if I disagree So what the people do some of these people who use the word tolerance all the time is they say Oh, you have to be tolerant. You have to be tolerant because it's a way of like Basically trying to control people and not let them disagree.  You can't say like one view is right and They know that they can't say that you're like immoral for that But they still want to control you and so they'll say don't be intolerant You know, they're trying to control you even though it's like, well, wait a minute like How am I intolerant if I disagree like Tolerance requires that there's disagreement. It doesn't make sense for me to say I tolerate the fact that you you and I agree on this Maybe you're like, what? But if I say I tolerate the fact that you disagree or that you agree with me on this Maybe like you tolerate. Okay. Like For real, I mean you can tell they don't even mean it that way because it's the other thing is It's not even that if you think about it, it's really not that enlightened to be tolerant It's it's like half of the battle. It's one thing to be like, I can put up with somebody who disagrees with me You know, I'll at least show them respect. It's another thing to say I'm gonna go out of my way if they need help if they're suffering I will even disagree with them or I will even help them when they you know knowingly that I know that they disagree with me I'll even help them that seems to be like Something a little bit higher of a standard than just well deal with maybe those people that disagree with me is You know tolerating people it almost sounds patronizing If I were to you know, let's say you hosted me At your place, you know, I visit your town or hey, we're gonna have modern day debate in person By the way, we are setting up some in-person debates for January.  What'd you think of this day and I say It was tolerable That sounds terrible. It sounds patronizing. So not only is the word tolerance often used to control people but I mean really is like in It's like if we're gonna shoot for some sort of higher moral good tolerance seems like It's the first step. I'll give you that if you're not tolerant already, but It's kind of weak if you think about it, but anyway You guys you put a quarter in me. You put a quarter in me. I can't stop. I just keep going But avoid avoid avoid. Thanks for coming by as well as Thanks for your support. Jay bet and perpetually annoyed. Good to see you again I always enjoy these like aftershows.

Are there any others that were Fakie mcfaker stein says i'm here. Thank you for letting me know that and samuel le genre Am I pronouncing it right? genre says let jf talk. Please I can't do a jf impersonation. It's really hard. I don't know if he He's an easy going guy. I don't think you'd mind if I did an impersonation of him But I can't let me at least practice. Let me try to so it doesn't so it's not terrible before I try it But yes, let's see You know people whenever they impersonate me That no no not jf. I don't I don't think he's ever a person maybe but whatever anybody somebody impersonated me today one of my classmates And she said about about because I know that I they say that I use the word about differently like I they say that I sound That I'm using the word about and that's how growing up in wisconsin and then I lived in minnesota for eight years so that That definitely had an influence But chris gammon good to see you says how are you doing tonight james house school? I'm doing well I'm doing well school's going well. It's busy. It's exhausting this week was to be honest Oh my gosh. It was exhausting. It really was I so folks I don't know if you know like I'm working on a degree right now like in uh, basically it's my doctorate. So it's grueling and It's exhausting It really is not always But there are some some weeks where it is just it is It pushes me and I like it though. It's good that I am pushed and challenged It makes me it makes me grow. It stretches me the mx says james great debate tonight. Thanks for being amazing I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Thanks to the speakers as well.  I highly encourage you my dear friends I pin that to the top of the chat My dear friends check it out Click on that right now. You won't regret it and then Slaying says james pulled a knife on me when I said he should moderate more That's true. You know, maybe I got triggered. I actually I didn't get triggered tonight I I saw somebody was saying james you got to moderate more and I I actually yeah, I I I definitely addressed it But I was actually as as frank as I was I was actually not triggered I'm trying to think of what did trigger me sometimes when people repeat something over and over the chat That can be a little bit annoying. Even if it's something like innocuous So for example, if they're just like james slow mode james slow mode james Oh my gosh, like you don't have to put it every three chats. Like I'll be honest. That's where I'm like biting my tongue and I'm like not But stripper liquor good to see you again as well as I got a run. It's getting pretty late. Oh, it's already 10 here. So let's see Banja glad to have you with us and poofy says amazing as well as spicy roads and then cal Khalil blizzy. Thanks for coming by. We're glad you are with us lamby.

That'd be fun And then david thanks for coming by as well as the legend rives and dreams real It says james haircut looking fresh. Thank you for your kind words Nobody's more no cut is more fresh than this fresh cut of freshness Patrick smith says do you did you get jared taylor of american renaissance? He literally wrote the book the color of crime. I don't know who jared taylor is and I don't know the book the color of crime It sounds like I have a feeling. I know what it's like trying to say in the the title Uh, we I don't know. We're open to hosting anything that won't violate terms of service I got to be honest. YouTube has helped us grow a lot. We in three years have grown to 55 000 Which is I'm very thankful and I give it to you I give you guys the credit We appreciate you guys share our content a lot, which we appreciate like seriously. Thank you If you know of anybody that might like this content I would encourage you, you know, share it and read it share it in a personal message. Whatever it is You're hey this debate. I don't know if you've uh, you know, maybe if you're like, hey You haven't seen brenton in a while or you haven't seen staphon or jf in a while or solitaria You may say hey, they just had a debate over on this channel That helps and we do see like I can see in the stats in the creator studio People share our content a ton. That is so helpful. So thanks for doing that. But long story short We don't want to violate youtube terms of service Because they also recommend our videos non-stop by non-stop I mean like for example, some of our debates have like four million impressions I think one of them the last time I looked our biggest debate had four million impressions namely youtube for free Showed it to four million people on the platform. That is gigantic Now the click rate if the click rate is only like five percent That's not huge In terms of numbers, but you know, it's a lot it can't be right. Is that even right because if it was 0.05 Was it four because no none of our videos have that many views. I'm trying to think of one two three one two three zeros And the answer would be it can't get the calculator to work on Two seconds 200 Oh, actually that's right. That that actually does seem right. So long story short youtube recommends our content like crazy So we are thankful that you know, we are growing fast here And general Balzac says excellent debate tonight great moderators as well But don't forget to remind folks of the after show 100 that after show is pinned to the top of the chat I recommend it folks It'll be a blast and david says james new logo came out right Came out tight.

July is going to be hotter than ever because you get up to $50 off any smartphone at Appalachian Wireless to your agreement required. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Thanks to local businesses and dozens of volunteers, more than 500 students in Johnson County are ready to go back to school. Today was the annual ReadyFest in Johnson County, an event organized by the Johnson County Family Resource Center that makes it possible for students to pick up school supplies free of charge just in time for their first day of classes. The response is overwhelming, but then again that shows the need in Johnson County and in Paintsville. There's so many students that could possibly go to school without that new backpack or without their own box of crayons and we just want to make sure that they feel like they belong just as much as any other child. ReadyFest has been going on in Johnson County for more than 20 years and those who attend for the first time are always surprised by the turnout. Senator Brandon Smith came to be with us today and first thing he said when he walked in, did you know that line goes all the way out to the road? It kind of made me a little bit emotional. I looked and saw those little kids in there and you could tell some of them had they had a need and to realize that we had this many people in here. I wasn't sure if there'd be enough inside. Students went to various stations where they stocked up on school supplies as well as other personal items they might need and Senator Smith said this is the only event of its kind that he knows of in his district. What an amazing way to go about helping people by bringing the entire community together in one room, one stop shopping to make sure that everybody walks out of her stuff that they really need. Students in Johnson County will report to their first day of classes bright and early on August 3rd. Reporting from Johnson County, I'm Shannon Deskins for EKB News.


And straight now to Oya State where the Independent National Electrical Commission has engaged rather than stakeholders in the state, on the rationale behind the conversion of the existing voting points into full polling units. Here is more as presented from our studio. The Resident Electrical Commission WREC in Oya State, Motiu Aboke, while addressing the stakeholders, noted that the Commission has decided to start early engagement on the urgency of voters having access to polling units. Aboke who disclosed that the state had 1,607 voting points and 4,783 polling units said with the conversion of the voting points, the state would now have 6,390 polling units. The objective of this present exercise are among others to expand voter access to polling units by converting the existing voting points and voting points settlement into full polling units. INET is not creating additional polling units but rather INET is converting existing voting points to polling units. Various stakeholders however call for creation of more votes in the state as the present population has outnumbered the current data used by the Independent National Electrical Commission. There is a need for additional polling votes but that cannot be made automatic. So what we have done in the meantime is to turn polling units into polling votes, to make voting easily accessible to our people and with the times of COVID right now, you cannot have too many people at the same time, it will make voting less rowdy, it will make it smoother. This process was made for 50 million Nigerians and we know that we are expanding in our numbers, we know that there are areas that are just newly, new settlements and they need to provide for them and for them to, you know, sit down to be doing that on their side. Nobody will believe that we get to a state that INET will want to upgrade voting for our points to polling units. A year wreck was further explained at the commission, we will migrate in for direct data capture machine, DDCM, used during the last election to INET voter enrollment device, IVED, based on Android tablets for effective voting exercise.


As prime minister of all citizens, I aspire to have a broad understanding regarding the amendment to the judicial system. And so we have been in negotiations for three months. The coalition had a line of suggestions to the opposition one after the other for three consecutive months. Unfortunately, the hand that we reached out remained hanging in the air. Maybe they feared the very extremist entities, which say we don't want any compromise. They only aim at one thing to wreak havoc in the country so that they can topple down the government, and it doesn't have to do anything with the reform. And yet, even if we do not have a partner for discussion, coalition, exercised authority and responsibility, it removed the overall clause of reasonableness. I'm not going to go tonight into the various details of the bill. However, I would like to say a general remark here that is going to negate the claim that there is a ruin to democracy. There is a realisation of the reasonableness standard had to do with the system, and I'd like to read several things. יעיר להפיד said, in the past, it's not right for the court to change world standard while it is working under the reasonable assumption of a person. This is completely subjective, and the Knesset never included it in its bills and rules. And I agree, גידון סער, head of opposition, had in his own agenda a very, very extreme amendment to the reasonableness standard. But because of that, the judges are putting their discretion into their values, and this goes beyond the public elect, and I agree there as well. עהרון ברק said in 2019, I'm ready to call off the reasonableness standard, perhaps it's due time. This is what he said. So if, according to ברק, it is time to cancel the reasonableness standard, it goes without saying that it can be minimised and not make this amendment into the end of democracy. And so citizens of Israel, everything that is being said about ruining democracy, it's completely an absurd. It's an attempt to frighten you with no base in reality. The amendment to the reasonableness standard is going to strengthen democracy and not endanger it. But what will endanger democracy, that's refusal to serve in the army is risking all of the citizens. In democracy, the army has to answer to the government. When entities in the army are trying to threaten the policy of the government, this is absolutely unconvincible. This will bring the end of democracy. And so a responsible government and a responsible country and state will not agree to that, and every responsible citizen must go against it and object to it. In a democracy, the hand that makes a decision is not the hand that holds the weapon. It's the hand that puts the vote whenever there is election. If you preach towards refusing military service, you have to know that this is going to lead to refusal for service on the other side, and then things will be bad. In the past, many of the citizens in Israel did not agree with government's decision. They objected to the Oslo Accord, to the disengagement from Gush Katif, a government that was established by completely not adhering to promises, and though they saw things that endanger the mere existence of Israel, no one threatened with refusing military service. Unfortunately, those who in the past requested and demanded punishment for any show of refusal to serve are now the main people who are inciting against complete refusal to serve. They are aware of the harsh implications, and yet they continue with the same cry out. Perhaps it's too late and too little, but it's very good that now several heads of the opposition are talking against refusing military service, and I expect zero tolerance against this very dangerous phenomenon. We will not accept it. Citizens of Israel, in the 16 years I have been serving as prime minister, I always viewed myself as everyone's prime minister for a single minute, not forgetting the challenges we're working towards, the economy and towards lowering the prices of life in Israel, expanding peace accords, working against terrorism, and we're working towards those goals all the time. Even at these very moments I have to tell you that we are working, tirelessly, to find an understanding regarding the reasonableness standard. I hope it will be successful, but even if not, the coalition's door will always be open to the opposition and to you citizens of Israel, because even in this turmoil we remember, and I always remember one thing, we are one people with one destiny, we don't have any other country, we are brothers. We just heard Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speak regarding the crisis in Israel about the ongoing efforts by the government to enact what it calls as judicial reforms, and particularly the measure, the law which is due to be voted, the bill to be voted into law this coming week, the so-called reasonableness bill, which would limit the power of judges basically to overall decisions by government officials, by our government officials. Its opponents say that would remove an important check and balance in Israeli democracy. Its supporters says it will strengthen democracy by strengthening the power of elected officials. Prime Minister Netanyahu basically giving no ground this evening, saying the bill, those who condemned the bill are exaggerating it, it won't change it, and condemning the growing number of Israeli army reservists who say they won't serve due their volunteers' duty, if this bill passes, Batch 11th Hall, your impression, our political affairs reporter, your impression of the speech. I think that this was to be expected. There was a lot of talk just before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was about to address the nation on basically one of two options, either that he was going to come out and criticize the opposition and also defend the reasonableness bill, which is exactly what he did. The other side of that was that he would possibly come out with some kind of a statement that says that at least with regards to the wording of the reasonableness bill, they may try and soften that. Now, why I didn't think earlier in the day that that would be the most probable statement that he would put out is because of the fact that as you mentioned, on Sunday, they're going to be voting on the 2nd and the 3rd reading. It really is a massive push. This is not a usual thing, that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd reading that any of them are sort of crammed into one session, they normally go through one at a time. One session, one basically week from the beginning, from the first reading to the passage. So this is unique in itself that the 2nd and the 3rd is being pushed through on Sunday, which I think is what's causing so much alarm on top of the nitty-gritty of what's actually inside the reasonableness bill, which the Prime Minister himself said he was not going to go into. But I think there's very much touches on the fact that we have a massive problem in Israel at the moment with regards to the reservists, and we've been noticing that making headlines for the last couple of days in Israel. And I think that the Prime Minister needed to touch on that because it was very important. But what's also important is to make the distinction that the reservists that are refusing service are those that are in elite units such as the Air Force, that are pilots, and they are volunteers. So again, this is a very crucial split if you want because this is not necessarily reservists that are refusing orders and refusing duty. It's also not active soldiers. We're talking about reservists that when an issue or some kind of an operation comes up where they need these expertise, these are the people that end up coming through. So again, on the one hand, it is not the entire army. On the other hand, it is a very big sector that we're looking at. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, knowing that the custom and the tradition in Israel, even till today, is that people will turn on their screens at 8 o'clock at night. This was an address that needed to be said, but it didn't really have much substance to it other than what we thought it was going to say. And I don't think necessarily we'll achieve the aims we want. We bought you 11th fall. Thank you for that. Then stay with us. We'll have more on the rundown after a break.


Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Unfiltered, Pastor David. How you doing John? Good, thank you. And our last unfiltered, we were speaking a little bit about worship. Oh, that's what our content was about. And we were mentioning the Dove Awards and how worship has now become a production and now that they're part of the Dove Awards where they get awards for songs. But is it okay if I read something to you here that was on an article that I just wanted to bring forth that has something to do with the Dove Awards?  The Dove Awards ceremony which was held at Lipscomb University, Nashville, Tennessee was open to the public. So we see this Christian show that's celebrating Dove Awards for Christian Music and it's now been infiltrated by the LBGTQ. What are your thoughts on that? Well, that's exactly what we were talking about the other day.  So what do I think about that? I think that it's sacrilegious, and that's an old word by the way, people don't use words like that anymore, blasphemous, they don't use those words anymore. After all, who's to be a judge, right? We're not supposed to be judges. We're supposed to accept everything in the name of Christ, because after all, I mean he accepted everybody, but the problem is is he invited people to come to him, but he didn't accept their sins. And somewhere along the line, the muddled thinking of those who have a big voice has found its way into contemporary Christian thought. I can tell you anybody who thinks that a drag queen, or an quote-unquote openly queer Christian, quote-unquote, is acceptable to Christ and to say, well, we're going to accept them because he would. They don't read the Bible. They don't go to a church that teaches the word of God. They don't teach what Paul would say when he says that we should be. He said, come out from amongst them and be separate. I will receive you. They're not reading the Old Testament. They're not reading about the expelling of evil and things that relate to that. They're not looking at the New Testament, how we are built on the apostles' prophets, the early writings of these men and pastor teachers who are to take this into the future so the church would continue with purity. They don't read their Bibles. They have been stung by the contemporary, quote-unquote, theology that has been infiltrated by Christ's rejecters. And they don't go to a church with a pastor who teaches the word. They just don't. You cannot tell me that they have sat under a good, solid Bible teacher. If they were, they would not believe the garbage that they're presenting and all. But this is just signs of the last days. You know, they're following demonic illusions. And that's what happens when you commercialize the worship of God. Right.  Do you remember that John in 1 John said to stay away from idols? It's not just statues.  And when we have idols in the quote-unquote Christian music, where they're being the ones who are the examples, supposedly setting the example of what a Christian is and how a Christian acts, and they're saying nonsense nowhere in the Bible, especially as it's revealed in the Gospels, would you ever see Jesus Christ saying, yeah, this is, this is fine.  He says, go and sin no more. And so he didn't call us to live ungodly lives. He called us to live lives that are set apart. And when you have these people, a man dressed up in a woman's dress, they're at an award ceremony. That's Sodom and Gomorrah.  No, they are ignorant. And I guarantee you there are other things they're doing, not just dressing up like women or bringing out drag queens. They don't know the ways of the Lord. And the cheapen God's grace. They destroy God's grace. It made it into permission. God does not accept all of that. God's word warns against future judgment because of things like that. Paul makes it clear. He said it's because of these things that the, that the wrath of God is coming upon men. You know, he made it clear. And yet these people don't, I'm telling you, John, they don't read the Bible. They don't. And they don't go to churches that teach it. And they don't have any friends that are actually speaking into the line saying, you have crossed the line. You better wake up. Don't call yourself a Christian artist.  They're wanting to hear that, but not a genuine believer. And yeah, it infuriates me as a pastor teacher because I see the harm that's taking place with children and families. And, and disrespect the church has because, you know, Jesus said that, that the salt that is lost and savor is no good for anything other than be thrown on the ground and being trampled by men. This is what's happening to the gospel. This is what's happening. The salt is lost and savor. And now it's no good except to be trampled. That's why don't you read July? Right. You know, well, that infuriates me, obviously, because they're making Jesus look bad. Yes. You're talking, I don't know if we're on camera, off camera, Jesus trinkets. They made it into. Jesus junk. Yes. That they're just making it into a business and not even regarding God's. They don't care. They're making money of the profiting just like the people in the temple. You know, they're just putting together trinkets and garbage and they're selling it in the name of Jesus. And so with that said, hey, go to the right church, get into the word of God and grow in the things of the Lord. And don't put up with this garbage. Don't accept it into your heart or your house. Amen. Go to church. Amen. Well, thank you, Pastor. I know that's just sickening to see things like this. And you know, this gives me an opportunity to invite you guys to come out and join us for church on Sunday at 8.30 and 10.45. You're taking us through Acts chapter 13. And so look forward to coming out because at your right, Pastor, we have to attend a church that teaches God's word. And yes. And so I want to invite you guys to come out and join us. Thank you again for tuning in. We look forward to seeing you. God bless you. Thank you, Pastor David. God bless you guys.


That's because it's only contained in high quality fermented animal foods, aka rotten meat, and it's also synthesized by our gut bacteria, if your gut is healthy.  There are different types of vitamin K2. MK4 being the primary one contained in these animal foods that can be utilized in many ways. You know, your body can use MK4 in different places. MK7 is restricted to bone and there's other forms like MK8, 9, and 10 found in dairy products, which more research needs to be done on. And it's kind of crazy that a lack of certain fat soluble vitamins like vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 are the actual reason we're not as tall, beautiful, and healthy as we should be because those nutrients are so important for bone formation, for skeletal structure. If you don't have enough vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, the calcium can't go where it needs to go and your face is informed properly.   Vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin K2. Most people have way too much vitamin A, a small amount of vitamin D3, and almost no vitamin K2, which is why my recommendation to most people is to get plenty of sun, take a vitamin K2 supplement, and don't go too crazy eating liver initially until you get your nutrients in balance. You have to make up for 5, 10, 15 years of a lack of vitamin K2 and sun, so don't rush it. Here we see that the vitamin K2 content of a dairy product correlates with the fat content and that non-fermented cheeses are substantially lower in vitamin K2.  Well, it's not that crazy because cheese is the most approachable version of that, but the first-nation Alaskans, a.k.a. Ineodeskimos, eat rotten fish every day.  Point is, they ate around a quarter to a half a pound of putrid flesh every single day. And if this rotten meat wasn't present in the native diet, it was replaced with some type of fermented plant food, perhaps a beer or starch. That fermented meat would be bringing bacteria and nutrients into their stomach to be absorbed, whereas the plant foods would be feeding the gut bacteria already present, a combination of both being ideal. So the vitamin K2 content in an animal food depends on what the animal was eating. In the case of beef, the cows need to be on fresh green grass. So winter milk and beef will be substantially lower in vitamin K2 and not ideal for fermentation. It appears that the process of fermentation creates a substantial vitamin K2 content and that some of the vitamin has to be present before fermentation. So feedlot animal products or lower quality will not work. Our past ancestors were consuming wild quality animal foods harvested at the perfect time of year. In the case of cheese, we want the animal to be foraging on that summer pasture, those green grasses, when the milk is harvested to be made into cheese. This is the case with most high quality raw European cheeses. They set strict requirements and standards during the cheese making process, one of which is that the animals are usually only fed grass and hay. Before modern times, indigenous people made sure to do this anyway. They were harvesting their products at peak summer season, whereas now sometimes products are made year round. That late spring and summer grass, forage, wildlife is adding far more nutrition to the dairy products. Now we want to address several things. How much vitamin K2 is in cheese? What forms are there? What cheese is the highest? How much should we eat? The first study is the one that people have been referencing when they've told me that Parmesan cheese has a low amount of vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 concentrations were measured in a wide range of cheeses and the effects of fat content, ripening, and origin of the cheeses were investigated. Moreover, the minnequinone content of cheese was compared with that of other foods known to contain vitamin K2. It was found that cheese and curd are the most important sources of long chain minnequinones in the western diet and, in general, hard cheeses are richer in minnequinone than soft cheeses. However, the actual minnequinone content varies substantially and is dependent on the type of cheese, the time of ripening, the fat content, and the geographic area where the cheeses are produced. Given the fact that poor vitamin K status has been mentioned as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, while there is no clear evidence for adverse cardiovascular effects of dairy fats, cheese should be considered as a recommendable component in a heart-healthy diet. Cheese as part of a heart-healthy diet? Good luck getting an American to believe that after all the brainwashing, let alone a vegan. So if we look at the data from this study, they've taken a bunch of Dutch cheeses as well as French, British, Greek, Italian, Swiss, and Norwegian to measure the vitamin K2 content. Now, by presumed patchwork quality and country quality, we see results that are fairly expected. Dutch being out in front, followed by France, then Switzerland, with others to follow. There is one major red flag for me, though. This work was supported in part by the Dutch dairy organization. The funding party had no influence on the outcomes of the analyses, the interpretations, and the author's conclusions. It's no coincidence that a study funded by the Dutch shows the Dutch cheeses to be the highest in vitamin K2. To be specific about the Parmesan, they took grana padano, which sometimes doesn't get grass or hay, unlike Parmigiano Reggiano. And judging by the funding from this study, these Dutch people probably chose the lowest quality cheeses to compare their own esteemed Dutch cheese to. What we should also note is that the MK4 content of cheese compared to meat isn't substantially higher. You know, it's only two to three times higher, but dairy products have large amounts of other forms of vitamin K2, especially MK9, and the total vitamin K2 content can exceed 10 times that of meat. Again, we don't really have research on these other forms of vitamin K2, but we know that our ancestors prized dairy products and fermented products that were higher in MK8 and MK9. One interesting thing I noticed was that eel had a very high vitamin K2 content, MK4 at 631, which was five times more than any other food. So I'll definitely be doing a bit more research on eel as a food source. And Spain, you know, the Spanish people are very famous for canned eel products, so maybe I can get some of that for you guys. Now that study says that hard cheeses have more vitamin K2 than soft cheeses, but that's not correct. Those soft, stinky, runny cheeses, the really funky stuff, have the highest vitamin K2 content, followed by blue cheese, but hard cheese is a very close comparison. Having about 70 to 80% of the vitamin K2 content of soft cheese, and it really varies. Some soft cheeses have very little K2, some have much more, but it averages out to be about the same as hard cheese. The problem is that soft ripened cheeses are not allowed to be imported into the United States either way, as they're aged less than 60 days, which is illegal. That means the best choice is going to be one of the higher quality cheeses imported from any country, whether that's Pecorino or Parmigiano from Italy, Fuma de Ember from France, Gouda from the Netherlands, Gruyere from Switzerland, or Manchego from Spain. In addition to that, you want to make sure the cheese is made with raw milk, animal rennet, and salt as the only ingredients, ideally. Sometimes they add enzymes and other things. So cheese is the most reliable source of vitamin K2, and really the only source of K2 in most people's diets. I strongly suggest focusing on vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 supplementing because although cheese has a good amount of vitamin K2, it has a correspondingly high amount of vitamin A and calcium. So even though you're getting K2 from cheese, there's some past lifestyle factors that can make it difficult to balance nutrients. Most stands in American diets have way too much calcium, way too much vitamin A in comparison to those other nutrients. So thank you guys for joining me today. Hopefully this helps you understand the vitamin K2 content of cheeses and which ones you should be incorporating into your diet. Of course we have a variety of them on Prankies for your aged meat, so feel free to try them all out.
