Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and today we're playing Landlord's Super. The game that's gonna put me in the position of Landlord and everyone else in the position of wanting to be evicted. They're gonna be begging to be evicted. Anything to get out of the contract. What is this music? I don't know which hurt more. Alright, I'm gonna click new game because I don't understand the menu and I'm hoping I understand the game a bit more. Okay, this game is already depressing. I can't skip it. It's just coming up with depressing words. The song sounds depressing and I don't know that the whole place seems to be coated in oil, which I'm not too disappointed by.  WD-40 does everything.  Is this graphics on the max? What is happening? Oh my God, that was so jarring. Okay, I can turn off TV set. Thank God.   Oh my God, you can even swap over this, whatever this is. I can't even read it. Alright, let's turn that off and motion blur off as well. I'm pretty sure there's still some motion blur there. Yeah, there's a lot of motion blur there. Pretty sure half the viewers just got sick. Okay, I think we're good. Everything is not as blurry as it used to be. Can I hit this old man? Oh, he caught me. Why is his voice just the worst hand in Scrabble ever? He's trying to break into this place. Is this my place or is this? I don't have the key for it if it's my place. Well, my caravan's right next to it. Wait, I found the keys in a letter. I don't understand what is happening. Okay, maybe they weren't the keys. Maybe there were keys for something else. I don't know. Why did I just unzip myself? I think I'm peeing. Yeah, I'm peeing. He doesn't seem to mind. Sorry, dude, you're my territory now. I've marked you. Okay, I zipped myself up again. Good. I don't know how just kind of happened. Why do I feel like I'm playing like a zombie game? I'm just running around with my hands out. Oh, Jesus Christ. We might have to exchange insurance details or just drive through me. That's fine too. Hey, we may have to exchange insurance details. Oh, I'm in your car now. All right, I'm in your car. Thank you for the carpool. Now I'm really far from my home. I found this chair, though. I can't throw it over the fence. Why am I wet? Am I peeing again? There's a lot of junk here. Maybe I can take some of this back. Scrap value 20, scrap value 30, 50 cent. Why does no one want a moldy cushion? All right, I'm taking the fridge. Off we go all the way back up the road. God, the day really turned nasty in the two seconds. It took me to come over here. Pretty sure everyone that's watching this. That's British is like, yeah. Sounds about right. Okay, I've brought home the fridge. Can I just block him in? I'll build a wall around him. This is the property. One Lakeside Road, Sheffingham. That's a very British name. West Berklands. Okay, where could that be? I'd say we could just get an Uber, but I'm really like in the negative here when it comes to money. Job center. We can help you with job hunting. That sounds like a good idea for a person with no money. Yeah, that sounds like a smart thing to do. I can get a bus, Sheffingham Lakeside. I'm at Lakeside. I want to go to Sheffingham. 10 cent fare. Yeah, I can do that. I think. No, I couldn't. Okay, this is the area where my house is in. Oh, hello. Do you have a job for me? So glad I'm playing a game set in the UK because they have similar weather to us and they have the same complexion. So now you can see I'm normal. This is it's not me just being weirdly pale for some reason. Everyone is look at him. All right, this guy says there's a job in the job center for a driver. So I should probably look for the job center. Oh, there we go. That was easy. It's just staring like, come on. Someone dropped something in construction. We got unassigned. There's one job available, dude. Beggars cannot be choosers. Pay limitless earning potential. Wow. That sounds promising, especially since he spelled potential wrong. All right, I will take the job.  He just jumped out on me. That's my job. That is well. It's my job now. There's limitless earning potential. He's desperate. Give us that job. Hey, what are you going to give me for it? He'll give me a punch in the nose trying to shake me down. Well, then I'm keeping it booster for you pal. God, I do a good British accent. All right. I work for you now. You got a clean license. I don't think I have a license actually find someone who can. I'll make it work your time. Oh, fantastic. I know someone. Um, oh no, dude. Where were you? Hold on. I've had a change of heart. In fact, I've grown a heart. I didn't have one before, but now I really want to give you this job. Why do people even have cars if you can run even faster than the cars? You can go like I'm sidestepping right now and I'm like faster than the car. Oh Jesus. Well, I do pack a punch. That is one downside of running along the road instead of driving. I can kind of understand the motivation to buy a car now. Would he be in the pub? Oh wait. I think I came in the wrong entrance. Uh, it's like really it took my job and you're working here now too. Just to berate me. You ain't going to regret this. Thanks a bunch pal. No problem. It's like I always say. If you can just about struggle to accomplish something, never do it for free. Oh, it's a favor. They're giving me a skip and I can fill it with junk and they'll give me money. I hope your shop sells old broken down fridges because why have I got a deal for you? Oh Jesus. Oh, now you stop. You see, I would have been dead. You are. Come on. Is this the place I bought? Is that my horse? Oh my God, there's a person there. That's scary. Jesus, you are terrifying. You don't even have shoes on. Okay. Where is this property? Lakeside Road, Sheffingham. How do I find it? I'm at Sheffingham. So I just need wait. Hold on. Lakeside is in Sheffingham. Oh God. Okay. I'll go back. I'll just walk though. 20 minute walk apparently. That's fine. It's good weather by British standards. So there you go. All right. Is this the skip driver? Did I die or fall asleep? I got hit and run. I'm really sleepy. I found you collapsed from exhaustion. So you just ignored the tire max going across my face. Oh poor buggers. Exhausted. Who even is this? Who found me? Let's just ignore that. Part-time pot washer wanted. I could do that. Visit the job center. Okay, perfect. He's still trying to break in. He's been there for a day now. I don't know if I should even be that worried. He seems like the worst robber since home alone. And honestly, I don't know if it's even mine. I think this is the site. Oh wait. Yeah, it is. I can see the house. I don't know why I'm craning my neck up. It doesn't change anything. But I don't seem to have the key for it. Unless the key is in here. No, it's not in my pants. There we go. I just picked up the fridge. I can still kind of see my screen. How do I put it in there? Wait, I can't even put it in. I want to get rid of it. It'll give me money.  I'm pissed. All right. Maybe that'll work. Oh, well, now my fridge is flying away. This is the worst day ever. It's gonna leave it there. I think it just found its new home.  Good try. It was a really good throw to be fair. That was close. All right. Try again. There you go. All right. We got something in there. I'm going to head into town to try and get that job. I don't know how to access the site. I know I can't find my key. This guy's still waiting like, No, construction jobs going to come through eventually. Four pounds per hour. That seems like it's ripping me off, but I don't really have any options here. Wait, where was the job? I did not pay attention to where the job was actually located. The anchor tavern. Wait, didn't I work there yesterday? I did. I'll take a point of landlord there first before I get the job. They're a bit short, aren't you? Well, there's no need to bring height into this. I'm not taking a drink here then. I'll take my business elsewhere. She's like, no, I mean, you have literally no money. I have a problem now. Now that I said that I wanted a drink instead of bringing up the job the first time, I can't bring up the job again. I just have, what are you serving and nothing by? That's the only option I have and I'm supposed to get a job here. I think I've broken the game already and I don't just mean by sending a fridge into orbit. Yeah, I should go see Tamsen at the anchor tavern, but I can't interact with her. It's not there. Please give me the job. What if I just come in and start washing dishes without getting the interview?  I'm trying to wash everything, but I'm getting performance anxiety. Fine. I'll be back for another job interview some other time. All right. Insurance fraud might be the best way for me to earn money. Oh, yes. I have four pounds for that filing cabinet. Now I can afford a pint. I'm going to the pub. What kind of a pub doesn't open till midday? It doesn't open till 12. How am I supposed to get my morning pints in before my day? Oh, I thought these were bones around the fields looking for fossils. Oh, it's 12. Time for a pint. He absolutely leaps over the table at the thought of a pint. Also, could I have a job when I'm here? Oh, I'm here at the job. Thank God. You can start now. Just head into the kitchen. Okay. And what about that pint? You know what? I'll treat myself. I'll go for a pint of the Doyle, please. Thank you very much. Am I on the clock, by the way? Just drinking a pint as I go back into wash the dishes. All right. That's down. It's I'm out. I'm out. How do I throw it away? There we go. I just finished the drink and just smash it. I don't want another one to clean. So this is your first and last warning. What? Now she won't let me work. I'll not be having any old soak working in the kitchen. Now you see. Well, you already gave me the job. We agreed. No backsies. Yeah. I'll have another pint, please. Thank you. Just immediately smash it. Right. That's it. Out with you. I got kicked out and I'm drunk. I'm coming back in. Not a chance after what you pulled. You're barred. You are. There's left on ban equals one. God, you sure have a way with words. All right. I'll be on my way then. I better go look for scrap to get some money. I wish that fridge didn't fly away. Then I'd have 30 pounds. Then I got by lots of pints. Day three still trying to break in. All right. It must be like 1 p.m. I'm going to bed. Yeah, just at 1 p.m. I'm exhausted. I can't wait to wake up in the morning and have my morning pints. I really should have looked for some scrap yesterday. Should I attempt the fridge again? How is my hygiene 45%? It's raining. That's nature's shower. There's been three types of showers now since I started. There's nature's shower, the normal shower I had in my caravan and the golden shower I gave that man. My hygiene continues to go down. I think it's because I'm holding a fridge. Every time I pick it up, my hygiene goes down a bit. My hygiene is critical. Someone else is going to be critical when that fridge lands on them. All right. Let's try going into town and starting my first day of work for the third time. Third day in a row that it's my first day at work. I'm taking a bus there. I'm treating myself today. He's like a fiend. He's just knocking on the door constantly until they open. Please. Please open. I can see you're standing there. You know I'm here. I need my fix. Please give me my fix.  Wait, do I still have the job? I'm screwing this game up so badly. Between flying fridges and gaining and losing my job. Yes. Okay. Pot washing. I don't even have to do the task. Oh my God. Yes. Keep going. Just keep doing the task. All right. That's a hard day's work right there. I love a good pint. She's kicked me out again. I spend the whole day washing dishes, which I don't know how. I spent like 12 hours in there washing dishes, not one customer and I drink there, but I smashed my glass afterwards so that's not washable. I don't know what my guys doing. He's slacking. All right. Back to lakeside drunk and we're going to collect some scrap to earn some money. I have like 11 maybe 12 pounds at this point. So I'm in a pretty good position and I want to I want to maximize my profits here. Be handy if you could just drop off the skip for one day here and then I can just throw everything in and get the money for it.  Not the other way around. There we go. I had a TV ready to go tomorrow. Maybe one day I'll find the key and actually managed to get in there. Hold on. I got to have it here somewhere. How do I access my inventory? I've been kind of distracted with drinking. Get away from my property. It's been days now.   Like I'm confused because the picture here says that this property is mine. The keys to your late uncle's property, which is the one in town. Maybe I should go there. I'm just going to sleep because the day is miserable. It's the sake. My blurry vision. Wait, why am I getting built? Oh, no, this is plus. Yes for the TV. Thank you. All right. It's not raining bit of a shower still on that guy, but no rain like this is the one in the picture. Can I access it? No. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? What is happening? Throwing things around. Oh, yeah. That's a good point. Yeah, I love it. The same old routine every day.  I'll take my business elsewhere. Oh, God run away. That's flies coming off me. I stink so much. My property must be the other one. This game is so confusing. Like this is it. I just don't know how to get in. Oh, now he's just giving it to me. Fantastic. Thank you for leaving.  Like I said, anchor tower. And if you need anything like half the town, I'm in there most days. No one goes in there except me. I like how he turns to have one last pry at it by the way before he left. All right. This is the property. I hate it. It's just a wasteland. I'm drunk and I stink by the way. Like in real life. Just just want you to relate more to me. All right. We need some brick work. Some foundation would be nice. Oh my God. The place is a disaster. Can I just like hoard the bricks from that pub site down the street? Could I just gather them and use them here? I don't know how I'd get them back though. It's the only problem. I have to carry them one brick at a time. Right. I'm actually showering some 100% clean. It took me four showers to get that clean, but it's done. And I got to carry this thing. Remember to take it easy unless you're referring to my drink. I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean because I do nothing every day. Right. Let me head into town and see if I can get some bricks or maybe some foundation. I don't know what I'm looking for. I'm drunk. Okay. Even if I was sober, I wouldn't know how to build a house. I foundations and building materials foundation. Yeah. Two per order. Perfect. I'll take some of those plasterboard, roofing, doors, windows. Oh my God. This is going to take me ages. I mean, I'd like to work and get some money, but I'm barred from the bar now. So I can't actually do the dishes. No, don't kick me out. What if I go in the back and just stealthily start doing dishes? Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Yes. You have to pay me. It's illegal not to pay me for my work. I'm just washing pots all day. And I keep washing pots until I pass out. It's nighttime. Surely the bar is closed. Oh, I can't do it anymore. I don't have enough energy. It would put me in the minus. She finally realized I'm in here. Not a chance after all your, your beard. I spent all day slaving over that single pot, getting it spick and span clean. And then you kick me out. Oh yeah. My order. Can I lift this? Oh my God. I'm not, I'm not lifting them all in one by one. Can I throw them in? Okay. There we go. That landed my yard somewhere.  This is for a new foundation? I just, I probably shouldn't have done this actually. The foundation is fine now that I think about it. I needed bricks. All right. You know what? You can take the rest back. I don't want it. I'm the worst person ever. I just need like some cement to pour over here. The foundation's fine. I think I like how there's just floating piss here now. Just glowing. Should probably get that checked. I'm just throwing them. Hopefully that'll just stay there for when I need it because I cannot be bothered doing anything else. Okay. You can go bring me back into town. I'll just stay here and I want to save the 10p a job construction. What is this? Limitless earning potential. That's what I need. Sorry. Limitless earning potential. Yeah. Looking for an open-minded individual to help move some items. This sounds shady and perfect for me. I hope I can go into the bar and actually talk to him about it. I don't know if I'm still barred or not. What do you sell? Hopefully fly repellent or something. Oh, you sell like actual tools. A pallet truck. That would be handy, but I don't have that sort of money. Winston is making a delivery. I don't care. I just want to put in an order. Oh, for fuck's sake. I would like to go to the police. They're unfairly barring me from the bar. Come on. Let me in. Long arm of the law. Yeah, right. You got the shortest arms I've ever seen.  Any people's doors open? Can I just go in and steal stuff? If anyone opens, just get ready to shout. I'm here to spread the words of the Lord. Oh, wait, there you are. He's trying to break into someone else's house now. They've condemned this place. I'd say it's about time we get in here and took our little bit. I like the way this guy thinks, except when he was trying to break into mine, then it's wrong. Okay, what do you need me to do? God, you were a lot more successful getting into that place than my place. Grab three scrap, then chuck the scrap into me wheelbarrow. Okay.  He's got a little itch up there that he's got to scratch. All right, I got some scrap. There we go.  You can't just throw it in. You got to place it in. I can flung it on the ground. Is that okay?  Why did I hire him? I think it counted. What is up with the stairs here? This is some modern stairway. Space saving measures.  You can just pick it up anywhere. I'll get the money to you by post first thing tomorrow. I do not trust you, but I will await your check. Not much else going on around here today. The anchor tavern is open for midday. Oh no, I'm barred. So it doesn't matter.  What a depressing town. It's not even midday. They're like, if I were you, I'd just give up for the day. Where can I get a crowbar so I can break into houses? Can I buy it from that shop? Sorry for leaving your door open earlier, but do you sell crowbars? There's a sledgehammer. I don't suppose I can use that. Can I imagine that would go to my house rather than me carrying it around with me? Like, I'll try it anyway. Yeah, buy one sledgehammer. Now, I'll be back. I just got straight up to the neighbor's houses. Doesn't seem to be working. In fact, your house sounds kind of hollow. The church, what about that? The house of God should have a lot of things to rob. I can't get in. Oh, he's yawning. Even the thought of going to church and he's getting bored. Scaling the church. Got a bit of Assassin's Creed in this game, don't you? Oh, no. Oh, that did not sound good. I landed on the spiked fence and then fell down here. Oh, I get home now. You just steal their ladders. That's pretty handy, actually. It might be handy to have a ladder around the house. All right. Well, it doesn't look like I can get into these houses. Oh, here comes another car. Oh, it didn't do anything. Oh, he just fell asleep on the bridge. Money. Yes.  So did he not pay me? He just gave me a wheelbarrow. I mean, it's handy to be fair. I actually really like it. This is better than being paid. I like it a lot. Just bring it inside. If you're called, they are called. Bring your barrels inside, people. Wait, I have a toilet? Oh my God, I've just been busy on the floor outside. All right, let's get some bricks and some cement. Winston's making delivery. You still won't sell to me. And he just says, I, they love their vowels. Right. Let me, let me go back and talk to the truck driver.  Like all the stuff is off the truck. Why do you keep coming here? I'm finished. You can go on out. You're some Egypt. You've been coming back every day just for me to give you the go ahead. Like I'm not your boss. Winston's making a delivery.  Jesus. Throw a shoe at him and run away. I think my barrel is stuck. Oh, here they got it. I just couldn't use the barrel at all. I just wheel it out. It's nice and sunny today. Get some showering flies to drive me a bit mad. All right. There's no driver here today. So I should be able to buy stuff now. Yes. Okay. I can buy again. Can get me some bricks. Red brick. Yes. Perfect. Some red brick. Probably going to need some cement as well. Right. And, and a trowel probably cement. I can't afford it. Oh my God. I don't have enough money for this kind of thing at all. Who knew fixing a property could take so much cash. Your title funds. Remember to check the job center between you and me. I've seen the house number nine is having their back patio done and they happen to just have the supplies you're after. Oh, he's telling me to do the foundation. I'm just all over the place. I don't know what I'm doing. Sometimes I'm like, oh, I should do the foundation. Then the next day I'm like, no, I don't want to do the foundation. I want to do brick work foundation. It's fine. Number nine. Number nine. Number nine. Where are you? Number nine. Ah, Jesus. Number nine. Number nine. Ain't go around the back. He, he, he, he, he. What's this gravel? I don't need this gravel thrown over the wall just cause I don't need it. Cement. Okay. Perfect. This is going to use a lot of my energy here. I am. Is there any way I can get my barrel here? Walk with the bag of cement walk all the way home. Well, it worked. I got my cement. Oh my God. There are my bricks. How am I supposed to unload all of that? I actually don't need the bricks right away. So if you could just keep coming back every single day until I give you the go ahead. That would be great. I'm going to try and walk there with my wheel barrel. Hold on. Come on. Please. Please. Yes. Walked all the way to town with my barrel. Ah yes. Nice eerie silence. Just the sound of my footsteps and my squeaky wheel barrel. I don't know if it's such a good idea to steal one item and then come back with my wheel barrel and steal the rest. They're probably on the lookout. But you know what? My house will be built on bad ideas. In you go. Now we got some spikes here for the foundation. I don't really need them, but I guess they don't now either cause I've stolen the rest of their stuff. All right. Is that balanced well enough? Looks good to me. Don't suppose you have tools anywhere do you? Lying around. I found a glove, but I don't think it fits me. Did I just hit myself with that somehow? Not exactly a stealthy getaway. The fact my wheel barrel is making this noise. Now you know what?  Thank you, bus driver. Okay. Do I have everything I need? I think I need the cement mixer to actually mix it. Hammer and nails and a cement mixer and a bucket. Aggregate cement sand. Oh my God. I'm going to need more stuff at the time. I like how the menacing music is playing. They know I'm going back to steal more stuff. All right. I just took everything this time. Instead of trying to be nice and just taking what I need, I'm taking everything. All right, hammer. Do I get nails as well? Nails included. All right. Purchase one of those. I need a bucket. Purchase one of those. Now I just need a cement mixer. I think and powers 12 pounds. Okay. I can go work for that. I don't like working, but I can. Can I just balance that on top? All right. Stay there. I get bored waiting for the pub to open. Okay. Then please open. I need a job so I can buy a cement mixer. Then I'm good to go. Such a menace. Come on. What time is it? It's got to be open soon. I need drink. I mean job. Sorry. Open. Come on. Shatter the door. I'm going to get barred before I even get in. Oh, no. He's getting out. Hide. Hide. Oh, more cement and sand here. I can just steal things from all over town. 12 o'clock. Drink time. Oh, wait. Yeah, I got to do the job. I got to stop wasting my money on drink. Okay. I think that's enough. All right. I'm going to go. My guy's just sweating constantly. Like, I don't think he's good for a job in anywhere that serves drinker food. Yes. Mine. Wait, I'm mixing. Oh, that doesn't look good at all. I guess they got to bring this home and I'll come back for my other stuff. You know what? I trust this not to be stolen. I don't trust the other stuff not to be stolen. I'll take that first. I mean, mainly because I stole it. So I think they might steal it back. Just on the bus with a wheelbarrow full of stolen sand, concrete and gravel. This poor guy's still trying to make his delivery, but I just won't accept it. Stop yawning. Your day has just begun. We need to lay the foundation now. Oh, my God. No, he's exhausted. All right. Fine. Look at him. Look at his shadow. He arms out. He really is like a zombie. It's raining. Okay, good. That'll fill up my bucket. Might be faster to just turn on the water though. If I have water, do I have water? You know what? It's working. It's working. I'll just pour in the stuff. Okay, there we go. I got my foundations down. Do I hammer it now? Who knows what I'm hammering this nail into? I just hammered a nail into it that's securing nothing. This wood is all rotten, but you know what? That's fine for a foundation. There we go. Now let's just hammer that in. Just get right down next to it. There we go. Not covering the whole thing and held in by one and a half nails. That's good enough for me. I don't know what kind of mix I should be doing. I'm just going to go with my own mix. There we go. And they're just filled with water as well. This is going to be the worst concrete ever. I just randomly mixed it. All right, that's going to be a very runny concrete. I just pour the bucket out. All right, mix it up. Weak concrete. Yeah, it'll do as long as it's still classified as concrete. Is that going in? I'm out. I'm out. Did I even get any in there? All right, dump all. There we go. Oh my God, that didn't look good. One bag of this. A bag of that. And I'll leave that out overnight and I'll get some sleep when it's raining. Okay, that does not work. It's filling extremely slowly. I was supposed to put in five liters of each of these and then 24 liters of water. I've put in four times the recommended of them and I'm going to put in a quarter of the amount of water because it's taking so slow right now. Mix that up, please. This is not going to mix. It's just going to be powder. Oh, it's filling though. Yes, it did it. I did it guys. Look, it's done. Trying to empty my bladder on it to just add more water, but it's not working. I'm sleeping till tomorrow. Look at that. It's lovely. It hardly even sticks out. It looks like a professional did it. It looks great. I'm so happy with that. Well, that's a hard month's work. I did one square foot of work, but I am happy. Look at that. I'm really making this crack house a crack home. I hope you enjoyed. Need any DIY tips? Come to me. I'm glad to help. If you did enjoy, be sure to subscribe. I post every single day. I'd appreciate a like if you enjoyed and other than that, I just hope to see you next time. Appreciate you and bye for now.


The research that has been done in the Vias Caldera over the last 60 years has made major contributions to our understanding of how geologic systems work. In 2004, scientists drilled a core sample from the ancient lake bed of the Via Grande. Analysis of this core gives us a window into past climate cycles in the Vias Caldera. The reason that we wanted to drill here is that there's a really interesting interplay between the volcanism here in the Caldera and the lakes that formed. So following the formation of the Caldera, there were a series of rhyolite domes that formed in the moat. And the one that's significant here is South Mountain behind us here that formed 550,000 years ago and it blocked the drainage out of the Via Grande here. So instead of meadows and streams like you see here today, it would have ponded up with water and filled up with sediment.  This one is kind of unique because it captures a snapshot of time from 550,000 years ago to about 350,000 years ago. And I can count on one hand the number of lake deposits in the world that go back that far with such a high resolution. Yeah, so lake sediments are really important for recording terrestrial climate because over time as the lake fills in and sediments accumulate, things that are in the watershed around the lake at the time actually pile up in those sediments. For example, pollen from the trees that are around us here wash into the lake and that gives you a record of what the vegetation was like. So as climate changes, the vegetation changes, and then the pollen actually change in the lake. So we get a nice record that way. Other things, we have charcoal washing into the lake that tells us something about the forest fire frequency and intensity. So initially what we did with the sediment was to look at it and say, what's here? And what we found were mostly lake muds with some silty material in it. Parts of the lake core were actually very nicely laminated, which indicates it's a deep lake. And there are parts of the sediment where there are mud cracks that indicate that the lake basin pretty much dried out and that indicates a very severe dry climate, which is actually quite unusual. So there's a very significant correlation between climate that's warm or warmer than today and what we termed megadroughts where you have periods of either centuries to thousands of years of dry climate. So other information that we were able to get from the core that's really, really helpful is that we were able to look at the structure of what past interglacials looked like. So in the modern last 10 to 11,000 years we've been in a rather long extended interglacial. And one of the questions that paleoclimatologists, modern climatologists would like to address is what is climate going to look like in the next 10 to 20,000 years without any human influence? Well it turns out that one of the interglacials that we looked at in the core, it's called marine isotope stage 11, that won't mean much to most folks, but it's a period about 430,000 years to about 400,000 years ago. It turns out that that interval is very similar to the modern interval in terms of the way that the Earth's orbit occurred and many other climate forcing factors. So it's kind of like a natural analogue or a natural laboratory, if you will, for what climate would look like over the next 10 to 20,000 years in the absence of human influence, if you will. And one of the things it tells us is that given that we're about 10 to 11,000 years past the last gasp of the last glacial, we should be heading back into a cooler, and for New Mexico, a wetter interval. Instead what we're seeing is that climate is becoming warmer and especially with the drought that we've seen in the last few years in the Southwest, it's becoming drier. So this record seems to suggest that the natural climate wants to head one way and what we're seeing is it's heading the other way. And the most likely influence for that is the anthropogenic addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

Nick, we haven't talked to my kid about injuries, but in the instance that you end up with Logan this week, can you tell us about how Logan practices and throws the ball? What do you like about him? Yeah, I mean, I love Logan. He was one of the first guys I met. Coming here last year, I was able to get real good, just chemistry and just got along real well. In practice, he always approaches practice like he's going to be the guy. Which you got to do in this league and have full confidence in him being able to take up the slack for Ryan if he's out. But we'll see what happens and let it go. What are you facing this week in the Saints? What do they try to take out of from a defensive standpoint? Yeah, I mean, it's a great defensive, just unit in general. They got really good players all across the board. D-line, linebackers in and the secondary. I feel like they just play together as a unit really well, play aggressive, a lot of man coverage. They play to their strengths and we just got to be able to play as a unit and play to our strengths and let our strengths work in our favor more than theirs. What stood out to you about Marshall-Ladam or your film study this week?  Smart player can really just play aggressive with the line of scrimmage and I played against him in college. You know, I was a sophomore and he was in his senior year at Ohio State and, you know, same thing. I was seeing then is what I'm seeing now and he's still doing it at a high level. So, you know, a great matchup and a great opportunity against a great player. You just got to take advantage of it. Knowing how physical he is, I'm not going to say antics, but like, you know, he has a way where he can get under your skin. Is that something you guys in the receiver run like, you talk about that like make sure that doesn't happen? Yeah, to some degree. You know, there's always, I feel like there's always a guy on every team that likes to do that and, you know, just stay in our game and improve ourselves, right? And don't let someone else, you know, affect us is what we got to do and how we approach it every week. How important is it, Nick, for you and some of the other guys, you know, now that there's probably even more coverage on AJ for you to be able to sort of balance that out and create second and third options besides him? Yeah, I mean, it's real important.  Like you said, it's just creating that balance and knowing what to do and being in the right spot with great timing, you know, creating separation makes it easier for Ryan to throw the ball or whoever's back there. And just like you said, it creates balance. So just makes our offense roll.


Now, the reason I brought the Johari window into this game, because alpha males are concentrated exclusively in the arena part. They have good self-knowledge, they are totally self-aware and self-cognizant. And they share this knowledge openly, liberally, without fear, without anxiety, without inhibition, with others. What you see is what you get. This creates a foundation of trust upon which cooperation, collaboration, and even empathy can be established, not to mention good long-term relationships of all kinds, romantic workplace, anything. The secretive guy, the strong silent type, that's not an alpha male, that's someone with serious mental problems. He needs help. Sharing is indeed caring, in this case. Communication, which is not intended to obfuscate, is not intended to eliminate or humiliate or compete or win. Communication that is intended to, shockingly, just communicate. That's the hallmark of the alpha male. The alpha male is alpha, because he combines the strengths, the skills, the capacities, the emotions, the thinking processes of multiple people. He is one person, but he embodies and reifies hundreds, thousands, millions, and he doesn't do it via fear.  He doesn't do it via self-destruction, ostentatious self-destruction. He doesn't do it via recklessness. He doesn't do it via short-term strategies. These strategies work in the short-term, but they end up in tears in the long-term. He doesn't use self-defeating strategies, short-term strategies. He has a horizon. He uses long-term strategies. These long-term strategies involve co-optation, cooperation, collaboration, resonance, empathy, holding hands, acting as one, merger in the good sense, fusion in the healthy sense, fusion, maintaining your autonomy and your independence, but in some areas of life and in some instances becoming one with another in order to accomplish a common goal. And this is the essence of a healthy relationship, not becoming one with your twin flame, whatever that means, but remaining separate and distinct, maintaining your autonomy, agency, and self-efficacy, even as you have a common area, like Venn diagrams, you have a common area within which you do become one temporarily, goal-oriented, you do become one to accomplish more, because crowdsourcing gave us Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that is thousands of times bigger than Britannica, Britannica, and as accurate. So these people, this power in multiplicity, when we join hands, when we collaborate as a species, it is then that we accomplish the greatest feats, monuments to our ingenuity. Cathedrals in Europe were built over hundreds of years, 100, 200 years sometimes. Generation after generation after generation had continued the work. They were not hell-bent on impressing anyone. The result didn't matter, the process did. The process did, and alpha males are focused on the process, not on the outcome. They are focused on the journey, not on the destination. They know if the process is right, if the path is well chosen, if the Tao is there, if the journey is well planned in advance, the destination and the goal are inevitable. They are accomplished automatically. And this is the difference between alpha males and losers pretending to be winners.  They resonate with the losing aspect. And they tell themselves, if this loser has made it, if he had become a business coach, if he succeeded to become the president, I mean if this utter, unmitigated failure over wannabe men had made it, so can I, it's reassuring to follow a loser, it's reassuring to follow a better male, it's very challenging to follow a true alpha male. The true alpha male is confident, calm, he is in a peace, he is composure, he is integrity, he has real empathy.  Alpha males make the wrong kind of people feel inferior. So these kind of people, the riffraff, flotsam and jetsam of society, they prefer to follow losers because they can identify with these losers.   People want to feel in equal terms, not that. The alpha male gives you the feeling that you are in equal terms, but maintains leadership. And only healthy people can cope with this. Only healthy people don't feel undermined by the alpha male.  You will never find these people around the alpha male, never. And this perhaps is the way to identify. Look at his followers, look at his employees, look at his family. Even these people are healthy, happy, work to collaborate, smiling, goal-oriented, enjoy life, etc., and they are around the central figure. That central figure is the alpha male.

It's hard to justify myself at this point. Here we are with another very large stack of boxes. If you've been following my channel, you may now know that I have moved and I have a brand new studio that is 200 times larger than any studio I've had previously, so I needed to order some things for the studio. And then they were having a Boxing Day sale at a Canadian tech store that sells briars. So, here we are. Welcome to my channel. This is genuinely as tall as me when I stand up. Wow. This is semi-unrelated to models. This is a monitor stand and it's not even for me. And this is a monitor stand for me. I mean, it's semi-related to model horses because I use my computer to edit these videos to give you model horse tutorials. So now I have a better computer setup to better edit quickly and efficiently for your once a week Wednesday upload. On to the next. Ooh, this is fun. This is so fun. There's so much, so much good stuff in here. This is the cool thing that I got. So, I don't know if this is gonna work, but I'm gonna try this and I'll make a video on it if it does work. But basically, it is a smoke trap. So, I'm trying to make a safe atmosphere to be able to dremel in my house. So, I've seen this, I don't know, I Googled it briefly and it was basically saying that you can smoke cigarettes into it. Normally, it's used for soldering, but I'm thinking it'll have the same effect for models because there's a lot of dremel smoke that happens and this should help clear the air a little bit, at least. And then I also got this, which is a HEPA air purifier. So the same kind of thing, airbrushing and dremeling indoors kind of makes it a bad environment. So, I got this guy, I got more charcoal filters for that smoke thing, and then I bought another respirator. So, I got new particulate filters and I got new painting filters as well as a second respirator. So, I can have these on one respirator and these guys on another respirator and then I can just grab whichever respirator I need to grab. And I think that will work a lot better, but these things do expire, they get full of stuff, especially these painting ones. So, you need to replace them every once in a while. I got the kind that you can actually replace the parts for. So, I won't need to replace the whole thing anymore, but like the parts inside, so that'll be a lot more efficient. And I also got a string of fairy lights, not related to model horses either, but these are going to be for our bedroom. These are the same lights that I used in my other room for my model horse collection. And it works super great because you can plug it into the wall, so it's always just going. And then it has a remote, so you can turn them on and off from bed. So, the moment you've all been waiting for. Oh my god, I've never had this nightly. I've never had so many. It's crazy. So, this is from Apple Saddlery and this is a good Canadian dealer. They had a really good Boxing Day sale on these models and because I live in Canada, it was like free shipping. And I plan on actually customizing like all of these, so. I got the donkey. I got Hickory's, what is this name? Hickory Hills Wall Street. I love Brady so much. I want a custom one. My mom's obsessed with the mold as well. So, I really want to customize one and I don't know if I want to like dress to custom him or just repaint him. Then I got Fantasia Del C and Gozosa. I don't know how to say that. This is the Iberian Marenful. This set, I never really liked as an OF set, but the mare is really sculpturally quite nice. So, I thought I would pick one up and I have plans on actually making the mare and the foal to lay down. LV Integrity, which is this ever-roll, prodding Arabian. I'm not sure what I want to do with her. Oh, it's actually, it's a gelting. I'm not sure what I want to do with him yet. I'm thinking of just turning him into like a standing Arab. And then I bought a Domiante XXIX. This mold I really, really like for some reason. I don't really know why. And I wanted to do one where I customize the face a little bit and customize the mane. I really gravitate towards just standing briars for some reason. Then I got the Legro. I adore this mold. This is such a nice mold. I think I just want to do like a basic paint on him. Maybe I'll repose him a little bit, but he already has a lot of detail to him. And I just really love the mold, so I really wanted to do a custom of some kind on this mold. Then I got this guy. Best of British Shire. I don't actually have this model as an OF. This is quite nice. I don't know. Maybe he'll be saved from the chopping block. I have a photograph that I'd like to turn him, like customize him into. It's like a little cute little draft, but there's a lot of good things happening in this sculpture as well. It's a really anatomically correct sculpture, so I don't know if I'll be able to customize him. Then I got ThanksPanella. This one is really cheap and I once again adore the mold. I actually already have an OF that I've been repainting just as the mold stands. So I think I'd like to do one where I do modify the hair.  And this guy will not be customized, bought him as OF. Really he's for my mom because she really likes mules and donkeys and apolloses and she's really excited when she saw him on the website as is. He's actually so cute. I wasn't sure about him in the pictures, but not actually having him in person. He's really sweet. That is the end of the box. Eight models total.  Thank you so much for watching and happy collecting any of the Amazon things that you are interested in will be linked in the description below. And I will also link to Apollosadbury if you are in Canada and looking to buy good affordable priors that come in a timely manner. All around, good experience. So long from DJB.


Yankees and the Guardians are in a pretty good game. Guardians are up by one in the bottom of the ninth inning. Donaldson leads off against Clausset. 99 inside ball, 98 outside ball, 98 outside ball, 99 low. That's a leadoff walk. They pinch run. Tim LoCastro, he's fast. He immediately steals second base during Hicks is at bat. Hicks gets out. Gallo gets out. They're down to their last out. And it's up to IKF 100. That's a strike. Doesn't get called a strike. 99, kind of the same spot that gets called a strike. One-in-ones the count, fouls back the 100 mile per hour pitch. 1-2 strike away from winning the game. But Kainer-Fuleffa says no way. Takes the 100 and puts it up against the wall. Kwan with a great effort. But Tilo scores the games tied. Kwan's busted up. Kainer's ecstatic. Look at this effort. If he caught that, it would have been a game-ending catch. Goes face-first into the fence there. So that's just a metal fence. And it's not a soft surface behind it.  And you can see Mercado here step around and go address people in the outfield. And then you can see Straw and Mercado trying to defend their buddy, Kwan, pointing out the guy who's saying it. And then Straw is going to climb the fence to get in his face. And one of the guys in the gray shirt kind of backs up a little bit. Now here's Mercado and Straw's take on all of this. Kwan was a little shaken up and had some cuts in his face. And there was a specific Yankee fan in left field that was celebrating Kwan getting hurt. You can't say stuff like that, especially when someone gets hurt.  That's classless. That shouldn't be a thing. Kwan is the nicest guy on the planet. And that's my teammate, that's my brother. And some of the things that were said to him, just for me, wasn't gonna fly. So, you know, my emotions got to me a little bit. But, you know, at that point, I feel like as a Yankees fan, you got to be excited for your team. You should be cheering. And you should never prey on someone's, you know, see the guy went head first and do a hard wall. There's no business for saying the things those guys said to him. And, you know, it got to me a little bit.  And I, you know, if I were to do it again, I probably would have said the same thing. That's my guy. And, you know, at that point, just cheer.  They can chirp all they want, but when someone's hurt, you should never really talk the way they were talking to him. So, obviously, we don't know what he said, but we know that the kid behind them is throwing up.  Hiding behind someone, throwing that, thinking it's something. And then the guy that's been filming it, and hey, where's this footage, dude? You have some cool footage. Trying to get like a fist bump out of him as he leaves. Just a bizarre scene. You can see this woman up here. She's like, why are we doing this?  Now, who knows what Strauss said?   It seems like that's what they're saying. And then these guys, these three guys, man, they just couldn't be more proud of themselves for doing nothing at all. The guy throwing up the sign, stays throwing up the sign. Like he's doing something cool. Just the least cool thing you could do. Look how proud of himself he is. And then he's gonna throw it again.  The umpires come over and they're like, all right, you're good, man. Calm down, calm down. Yeah, they were wrong. Mikado's talking to the other ump, letting them know like, ask him, ask him. He'll tell you, he'll tell you what he said. Meanwhile, the game's still going. It's tie game in the ninth. There's one out left. Glaibre Torres, five career walk-off hits. Most in MLB since 2018. He's pinch hitting against a dude who throws one-on-one on the first pitch. Strike one, that's a ball out on an off-speed pitch. Off-speed again, he gets the strike there. Glaibre turns, says, I kindly disagree, but all I can do is smile and swing at the next pitch. Hope you have a good day, Blue. And off-speed again, pokes that through the outfielders. Now watch what happens here. A beer can gets thrown at Mikado. Just one beer can. Now we're not in left field. These aren't those kids over there. This is just brand new people. The Yankees win and they throw a beer can. Now maybe they weren't aiming at him, but it came pretty close to him. So on the bottom right, you have the Yankees celebrating the win. Then you have Mikado picking up a beer can. Another one comes at him. He catches it. He's fighting with fans. Yankees are celebrating. Beer cans are raining down. It's a weird scene. It's a bad scene.  We're not talking about like two fans throwing empty beer cans. We're talking about there's like 20 beer cans plus that end up on the field and water bottles that are full that aren't like, and these umps gonna get hit right here by a beer can in the back. That had beer in it and then a water bottle that has water in it bumps.  And it's, I don't know.  But to do it after you win is just pathetic because what did you buy the ticket for then? What are you there for?     His wife is grabbing his arm like stop, stop, stop.   And then he's gonna go with the L on the forehead and he takes off his hat to make sure he can see it.  God damn, you are what you are accusing them of being. If you use these hand signals non-ironically it is so embarrassing for you.  And then look at this. This dad is like grabbing his daughter because it's a scary scene.  If you're one of the assholes that threw beer look what you did.  And they keep going. Now Rizzo comes out, Cole comes out. Rizzo goes straight to Mikado. Probably says you're good, you're good, you're good. Cole goes and tries to help out. Judge and Stan go to right field to try and get the fans to stop. Glaber's like, my moment's ruined.  You dicks. And they're like, stop, stop. What are you doing? G's like, that's not cool guys.  It's really easy. Step one, don't do the pussy sign or the L on the forehead sign unless you are 12 or under or living in 1990 to 2000. Step two, don't root or clap for an injury.  I hope all of the people that threw something are never welcome back to Yankee Stadium.


I'm asked in this video to find the missing coordinates in three parallelograms. We've done this before, but I just want to remind you, and we're talking about the X values that's going to represent the horizontal distance. And if you want to even draw the little horizontal line to remind yourself, and when we're talking about the Y values, that's going to be the vertical distance. And if you want to draw the little vertical line to remind yourself, that could be helpful. Note, too, that in the directions it says, use the same variable when it's appropriate and introduce a new variable when needed. This introduce a new variable means, in previous problems, we've added a letter or added a variable when we didn't have enough information, and that's what that's talking about. I'll tell you right now, though, that for these three problems, we will not have to introduce a new variable. So in this rectangle, we're only given information about one of the vertices here, and that's going to be enough to fill in the missing three pieces here. I'm going to start with the X value here. This says negative C, and that represents the distance right here. Note that it's negative. All that that means is we know that that point is in the second or third quadrant. We're going left from the origin. So that point is going to be a negative X value, but this distance is going to be C because distance is always a positive value. If that distance is C, that means this distance below is also C, and because these congruency marks are here, I can fill in this measure as C, and then of course up here this measure is also C. Then I can go to my Y value here of E that represents my vertical distance, and so because this is a rectangle, any of these vertical distances on the rectangle will each have a measure of E. And now I can go ahead and fill in my missing values. I'll start with point R. It doesn't matter where I start. If I am starting at the origin to get to point R, I'm going to go horizontally a measure of C, and then I'm not going up or down, so my vertical distance will be zero. So I can go ahead and fill that in, C zero. And next I'll go to point P because that's going to be similar. If I'm starting at the origin and going out to point P, I'm also going a distance of C, but because I'm going left on the origin, anytime I'm going left from the origin horizontally that will be a negative value, and point P I'm not going up or down so that will be zero as well. And so to finish up with point A here, if I start at the origin, I can see visually from all my measures I'm going to go out C and up E. And so it does help to go ahead and fill in those values, even though you might not need to on some of the problems. I can do a quick check at the end because remember for parallelograms, these Y values will be the same both on top and on bottom, zero zero and EE. Going on, I'm given a parallelogram with two points where the values are given to me. I'm going to start here because I know that A means that this horizontal distance is A and because parallelograms have congruent sides, I can fill in that side as well. Next I'll go up to point E and I'm actually going to start with the Y value. The Y value represents my vertical distance and so any vertical piece on my parallelogram will have a measure of C. I'm also going to put it over here. This will help me later when I find that missing value. So every vertical measure there is C and then the last piece that is given to me is that value of B. That represents the horizontal distance. If I put it in this imaginary line where I had my C, this is the horizontal distance that I need to use if I want to get up to point E here. So I can fill in that this value is B and then this will be helpful because of the symmetry. This value over here is B as well and now we can go ahead and fill in the missing values. I'm going to start with the origin because that one's the easy one, zero zero. Point L is at the origin and then I'll move up to that point O. I know to get to point O if I'm starting at the origin, I'm going to go out this distance and then go up. This distance here is represented by A plus B and then I'm going to go up C. That's why it's helpful to write those values down. So I know my X value is A plus B, Y value of C. I can check my Y values up here are the same C and C Y values down below zero and zero and remember before we said that this X value plus this X value would equal this X value. That's another nice quick check. B plus A is the same as A plus B. Moving on to the last one, this is another parallelogram. A little more complicated, I have three values here and that's all I will need for this problem. I won't have to introduce new values at all. I'm going to start with this value of M. I know represents this horizontal distance here and then because the opposite sides are congruent I can fill in that as well. Next I'll go up here to this negative N. Remember it's only negative because it's left of the origin. This represents a distance of N going left from that Y axis. And because this is N, remember I can fill in this imaginary line here and make this value N as well. My last piece then will be this value of R represents the vertical measure of my parallelogram. It will be R and that will represent any vertical measure in my parallelogram that I'll need. So now I can go ahead and fill in my missing values. The origin of course, zero zero. And then if I fill in the value of G, this is where all my values I write on here will be helpful because I'm trying to get to this point. This point represents this horizontal distance here which we don't have. But we do know that this measure is M and if we come back from that measure a distance of N that'll get us to the place we need to go up to G. So if I go M minus N and then up a distance of R. M minus N and then up a distance of R. And I'm done but I can do a quick check. R and R up on top, zero and zero down below. And then remember these two values, these two X values should add up to this one. This is negative N plus M which is the same thing as M minus N M minus N and we're done.


Aloha, welcome to American Issues Take One. I'm Tim Apachele, your host. And today's title is, Indictments Closing in on Trump. It's been a while since we've talked about Donald Trump and his pending indictments, whether that be will occur or not. But in the last two or three weeks, there's been a lot of activity. So to talk about that, we'll be right back. With us today is my co-host Jay Fidale and our special esteemed guest, Jeff Portnoy. Gentlemen, good morning. We've been hearing a lot of... Yeah, good morning, Jeff. Hey, we've been hearing a lot from the news about all sorts of activity, as it concerns potential indictments and certainly new evidence pertaining to the document Myrolautical case, certainly some information about January 6th and also the Georgia election fraud case. So they're all kind of swirling out there in the wind and thought we'd take a little bit of time to discuss some new developments.  And the question I have is in its speculation, of course. And that's where we're gonna do a little bit here today. It's a little speculation, a little guessing. But do you think Mark Meadows finally just gave up and decided to cooperate? Or was he compelled with contempt? Or way out there in the left field, was he possibly offered an immunity?  Or did he take the fifth? Yeah, you know, I don't have a clear feeling about that. I'm afraid, maybe Jeff has a more clear feeling than me, but I really can't tell from those possibilities which one prevails. I think maybe he made a deal with Smith. Maybe he made a deal with Smith because, you know, bottom line is he's greatly exposed here. And if, you know, if this thing, if he doesn't cooperate, he could be prosecuted. And so maybe that's what motivates him to go down and talk about Trump. I just, I don't know. I feel that Trump is working so hard on all these cases you wanna discuss today to try to delay them and avoid, you know, prosecution. So I don't have a clear feeling. You know, Jack Smith actually took the opportunity to meet with Trump's attorneys. Their request was for Jack Smith to drop all charges. I suppose it was a courtesy meeting, but it seems to me that Mark Meadows would be one of the last key witnesses that Jack Smith would like to hear from. And now that that conversation's taken place, any guesses on, were any bets? And no pizzas, please. Any bets on how soon we may see an indictment come from Jack Smith on the document Mar-a-Lago case? I mean, it doesn't sound like, you know, that meeting went anyway. It lasted two hours, which in, you know, in the world of these cases, it's really a very short meeting. Maybe it was to say hello. Maybe it was for them to say no. So I don't know if it really tells us all that much.  And every day is a day later and we don't see the serious indictments credit to Alvin Bragg for doing his thing in New York. But we don't have it from Georgia. We don't have it from Mar-a-Lago and we don't have it from January 6th. So I don't have any sense that this is, you know, building momentum for a prompt indictment on any of those three. And I'm sorry to see that because I think a couple of thoughts, let me share with you. Number one is, you know, Trump wants to delay and I think delay works in his favor. And so I don't understand why the Department of Justice is not moving faster. Let's go to trial already, you know? I'm sure they can get an indictment. The other thing that interests me is that this is being played out in the press. Those elements that you mentioned, you know, asking Jeff and me to opine and speculate, those elements are going everywhere in the country. Everybody is aware of this. Everybody can make that speculation. So you actually have one, the silent chronometer and that I talk about where, you know, where nothing comes out of it for years already. And the other one is the media reporting all these things and that has to have an effect. So we have a trial already going on in the public sphere. And the real question is how does that affect a jury if there ever is one, has that effect, you know, the proceedings, including the appellate courts, if they ever get their hands on this? In terms of the public trial with all the people seeing the media, I would say that for, it's the bubbles. On the one side, you know, you have the liberal people who have already convicted him of all three of these cases. And then on the other side, you have the base which has convicted him on none of these cases. I wish you could put, you know, 330 million people in a room and have them decide. That'd be the biggest jury ever, wouldn't it?  You know what subpoenas are all about and the evidence that we gathered as a result of subpoena. We have a case here where the Department of Justice issued suit to subpoenas and they wanted to see surveillance video of various areas of the Mar-a-Lago property. And lo and behold, after the second subpoena was issued, like a day or two after, the pool was drained and the water came into the surveillance room and quote-unquote compromised some evidence. Now, does that pass the giggle test, the smell test? If you're the prosecutor or even the judge in this one or potential judge, how are you gonna look at that one? Bad luck. Bad luck. You know, these things happen. Pool's leaking. Blitz the dental. You know. The upcoming indictments which you guys keep talking about every week since. Every other week, Jeff. It's been how many months now? I don't think they're coming and if they do come, I'm not so sure as Jay suggests, Trump is trying to delay them. I frankly think part of him wants them to come as soon as they can. Now that he's in a race with 106 other candidates and his bases eroding slowly but surely, I'm not so sure he needs some boogie people. Used to say boogie men, but you can't do that anymore. You know, boogie people that he can point to. Nobody cares about New York. Everybody's forgotten about that one already.  I would bet heavily that that will never happen. You're gonna indict him for Georgia. I don't know much about that one but you have a prosecutor who can probably and you know, indict a donut. And then the question is, does the Justice Department indict him for, you know, the classified documents? That one to me is a can of worms, politically and legally. So that was much to do about nothing so far.  Okay, just your shows, what else has come out of this? Yeah, my show is a duck. I hear it going into the lake right now. Everyone's shooting it down. All right, we have Donald Trump on audio. We have Donald Trump saying, oh, I have, he's waving this document. You can hear the rustling in the background. He says, oh, but I can't show it to you because it's classified. Now, if you remember what his defense was, is only I can, you know, declassify things. Just by thinking about it, I can declassify. So here he's on audio, doing a 180 degree opposite comment about the fact that I can't show it to you because it's classified and it's in my possession. Doesn't this, why is this not just a concrete slam dunk piece of evidence? For what? That he obstructed? He didn't obstruct anything. He wanted to make sure he didn't turn over the documents. That's obstruction, is it not? You know, I don't know.  And, you know, we all know how we... Well, this was a political show, that's true. No, it has some legal aspects to it, I assume.  It doesn't need any more indictments to prove that. I mean, you know, as Jay points out, 50% of the country thinks he's a scoundrel and 30% thinks he walks on water and 20% aren't sure. You think another indictment is gonna change anything? And, you know, the judicial process is very long and very tedious and, you know, he might get indicted again, but so what? That's my point, Mr. Tim. So what? So what? So what? So what? Is he above the law, Jeff? Is Donald Trump really above the law?  But if it was me, do you think I would not already be in the husk out? I don't know, but I do know this, that it's political. And whenever you get political issues involved with legal issues, it doesn't always turn out the way that some people want it to turn out. So, you know, is he gonna get indicted for one or more of these things? You asked when and how and, you know, to me, it's not a big deal. I mean, I just think it plays into his hands to be honest. I mean, as soon as the Justice Department indicts him, that's 30% will go up to 35%. That is possible. And I think you have a point there. Thank you, Jeff. That's all right. It's always a pleasure. Thanks, good night. You're not going anywhere just yet. Oh, sorry. It's a show over now. It's a show over yet. Yeah, that's right. I don't know what it is when I bring you two together, but I lose all control of my show, my ability to, you know, moderate this program, but it happens almost every time. So, Jay, you just heard Jeff describe that maybe this indictment isn't that big deal because it's political. Do you take issue with those comments? I mean, is Donald Trump above the law? My reaction listening to Jeff, and I always have a reaction listening to Jeff. I think it's true, you do. He wants me to have a reaction, and I do have a reaction. It's all a question of timing, okay? If this had been what the public would have perceived as appropriate timing, if this had happened, if there had been indictments in what the public considered the ordinary course, then you would have had a kind of a big statement by the Department of Justice that we should have confidence in them, that they don't dawdle, that they get it done. But, you know, it's hard to feel that way now, too much time has gone by, and it makes it worse that the media has played the case out. We've already seen the trial. We already know the evidence, we know. And so what are we left with? We're left with a big, huge, looming question, you know, is should we have confidence in the legal process here? Too much time has gone by for us to have any serious... Well, isn't the wheels of justice slow? If I hear that one more time, I am going to lose my breakfast. But let me know, the wheels of justice can't be this slow. We're talking about public confidence. And the other side of the issue, Tim and Jeff, is that this is, I think, what Trump wants. He is attacking the system. He is draining the swamp. He is criticizing all the law enforcement agencies he can find. And when the Department of Justice doesn't move fast enough, when the DA in Georgia doesn't move fast enough, if it feeds right into that argument, is that these guys can't get their act together? You can't have confidence in them. No one has ever prosecuted a former president of the United States.  You wouldn't go in at 50% or at 60%. Maybe it's taking longer because you have to be spot on and close up all the doors that there's an escape route to. I mean, isn't that part of why it's taking so long, Jay? But are you suggesting this is a different approach? Because this guy happens to be a former president of the United States. Absolutely, I'm saying it's a different approach. Hasn't Merrick Garland said, without fear or favor, he's going to steam ahead? Well, Merrick Garland says a lot of things. Well, OK, I don't feel there should be a difference. Well, there is. Of course there is. I want to ask, we have a litigator among us. Jeff, may I intercede and ask a question? I have a question, Jeff. When you go to trial, are you 99% sure or even 100% sure? I think the answer is no. You get your evidence together the best you can. You're very aware of the realities, the fact that the judge could be against you, the jury could be against you, your witnesses could collapse on the stand. Who knows what would happen to witnesses who are suborned and jurors who are intimidated and all that stuff? You never get 99% or 100% never. But you lawyer it the best you can with what you have and you sail into that courtroom and you try to get what you want. And that's so not only in civil proceedings, but in criminal ones also. You can't be sure. And often, the Department of Justice has been sure and has failed. So my point is that this whole thing about dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's and the wheels of justice are slow, it's not really that, it's the lawyering that counts. And part of lawyering these days is to feed the media and not doing anything for two years, a year and a half, whatever it is, how long is it now? Doesn't do the job. You've got to get in there, roll up your sleeves, talk to the jury. Am I right, Jeff? Well, partially. But I think both of you make valid points. One, if you're a Democratic administration going after a former Republican president during an electoral season, you could pretty well better be sure that you've got every duck you can lined up where you might not be that concerned about it in a run of the mill case against even a city councilman or something. On the other hand, the delay is not helping anybody and you're just pushing this off till after the election. I guarantee that if he gets indicted tomorrow, he'll never go to trial until after November, 2024. Even the run of the mill criminal cases get put off months and years into the future with the agreements between the prosecutor and the defense council. So, it's a no win situation for the Biden Justice Department. On one hand, they got people like you, Jay, who were all after him for not having indicted Trump months ago. And on the other hand, they're looking at indicting a former president in the middle of an election season, which is only gonna benefit him. There's no question in my mind. That's why when everyone says or you suggest, you know, he's delaying things and delaying things, I don't agree with that. I think he's just waiting and hoping that the shoe drops sooner rather than later if it's gonna drop. So he has something to campaign against because he's running out of things to talk about. You know, it's pretty clear that the election denial issue is not gonna get him anywhere, even as opposing candidates in the primary are gonna be picking him on that. But can you imagine if he shows up as an indicted former president by the Biden administration? God, he's got a great campaign issue. Well, yeah, you're right. This theater is all playing out through the campaign. Yeah. And may they'll have trouble getting him to trial before the election. But let's assume for a moment that he goes to trial before the election. Let's assume that. Or something dispositive happens, you know, to make a result sometime before the election. If Trump wins that, okay, it's a mandate, isn't it?  No, you don't. I've never ever stand in your way.  No, I'm standing because- Oh, I'm sorry. I'm standing attention when I talk to some people. I'm sorry. So if Trump prevails in some way between now and the election, it's a mandate. And the crowd will say, see, he was right all the time. He's gonna get an enormous, the landslide of votes if he prevails. Okay, if he fails, you know, if he loses, say there is a trial and he loses the trial, he's gonna call it a witch hunt, part of the same kind of geo, rather a democratic witch hunt against the GOP.  He'll try to downplay it. And he'll say, you know, I was just trying to drain the swamp and look, the swamp drains itself. So, you know, I don't think if he wins or loses before the trial, there's really a significant difference because he has arguments in the case. The third possibility is, as you suggest, that nothing happens. That it just- What has been the fallout from the civil verdict against him? Zero. Well, that's- It just gave him the opportunity to go on his internet sites and rail and rail against the judge, the jury, the woman who won the case. So now she's filed a new case. He's impervious to that. We're talking about Donald Trump. He's a Roy Cohn acolyte. He's got 40 years of being impervious to the judicial and legal system. He doesn't care. He's above it in his own mind, no matter what happens to him. He's got the ability to turn it around. He's a master showman. All right, we have a case in the brag prosecution where the judge has laid out some specific instructions to dummy up, to be quiet. Is Donald Trump above contempt of court? No. Now he made his point, though. Would a judge ever say, that's it? Yeah, of course. I give you multiple warnings. Of course.  What has he done since then?  He hasn't said anything about that. Well, remember that's a long time since then. The fickle finger moves on. The news cycle moves on. We can't even remember what happened. And that's the problem. If you're playing for the theater, it's right now that counts. It's the news cycle. I'll tell you, I'll tell you. The best thing that may have happened in the last 24 hours regarding all of these potential criminal cases is Chris Christie. Yes, that was- Wait for the August debate. Wait for the former USA. Wait for the former US attorney who's got nothing to lose. Go after Trump on these potential criminal charges. Because he's the only one who has the opportunity and the ability to try it. So once we know the details- Well, I'm gonna say once we know the details, not if we know the details. Once we know the details of these indictments, will Chris Christie dive head first into that accusation pool? He's gonna do it anyway. Well, you kind of know what the details are. We know a lot of details already. Until you see the indictment, you really don't. I think Christie, I would accept Jeff's point on that. Christie as a force in the public theater is a greater force than any one of these indictments because it's gonna be mono, imano, nose to nose over and over again. It's not just August. It's already happening. It happened in his statement that he made when he announced his candidacy. And so a guy like that reveals Trump and the public will not forget. And if they forget after a week or two, he will remind them. He'll keep that thing going from now till the election. Not only August, but every day. I've got two attorneys on this show right now and I've got to take a look. No, you only have one real one. Yeah, that's me. Here we go again. I got Laurel and I got Hardy on here. Oh, that you do have. That you do have. Okay, so I'm gonna take a left turn here. Jeff, how difficult is it to pierce the attorney-client confidentiality relationship? How difficult is that to happen? And it has happened. So what does that mean? It's very difficult unless you can show the attorney and the client were involved in some kind of criminal activity. And that may be that the attorneys were intentionally hiding information. Now they're saying, I read the other day that they were misled by Trump, that Trump didn't tell them the truth. They're all running for the hills, but he doesn't have any trouble finding lawyers who apparently are willing to work for nothing because he doesn't pay his legal bills. Okay, so how serious is it when his former attorneys are going in and facing a grand jury? How serious is that? Well, you know, I don't know because my guess is, as Jay speculated before about Mark Meadows, they may go in there and take the fifth.  Just go in and plead the fifth. Hope you get a deal. But it's very hard to pierce an attorney-client privilege. I mean, we saw that word organized crime and this is very similar. So, you know, unless there was some conspiracy to violate the law, did what? He got Mark Meadows to go in or he got the answer? No, no, no, he got Trump's former attorneys to go in. They've gone in. But what have they done? What have they said? Well, we don't know yet. Right. Come on. That's my point. I like to add one point. The fact that they have gone in. All right, the bottom line is it's very, very hard. I like to add that when Congress, when the House subpoenas Mark Meadows, the House subpoenas Mark Meadows- Is this Laurel or Hardy that's talking now? That's what I want to know. It's Abbott. Costello. Well, you keep it up and I'll say heckle and jekyll. Keep it up. Most people are watching this thinking they're watching the Three Stooges. No, they're watching you, Jeff. All right, Jeff, that's enough of that. Go ahead, Jay, you have the floor. Yeah, so you realize that Meadows was subpoenaed by the House January 6th committee and he refused. He told them all to get stuck. He wasn't going to respond to the subpoena. So then they went to the Department of Justice and said, would you please prosecute him for contempt? And DOJ said, no, they weren't going to do it. And I don't remember or maybe nobody ever knows why they took that position, but he really never was accountable for his failure to appear in front of Congress. Well, look, I mean, Tim, we're joking around and obviously this is very serious stuff. I just think it's very, very hard when politics trump the legal system. And I say that using the words advisedly. And it's such in a difficult situation for the Justice Department because on one hand there may well be very legitimate legal reasons to indict Trump, but on the other hand, there may be overwhelming political reasons not to. That's a very difficult dilemma. All right, so let's go with that. Let's go with that. It goes beyond politics. This is the Autocrat's playbook. You try to diminish the authority of the government. And we had that even a week ago and for that matter, the Freedom Caucus still takes the position that we shouldn't increase the debt ceiling and the country should just dissolve. We don't want any stinking government here. Well, okay, Jim, I'm gonna go with that. I wanna ask Jeff that question. That autocratic issue is on the table right now. Okay, by the fact that this is political season, that there is a prosecution or potential indictments, does that erode the confidence of the American public when it concerns the justice system?  No, I think because I think your view on that is directly related to your view on the political issue. It's totally colored by your politics as to how you feel about no indictment, a delayed indictment. Okay, well, let's say we have half the country, 50% of the country, because it's 50-50 split practically in this country. All right, well, let me put it this way. Okay, how many people do you think are really concerned about the fact that a president took a classified document to his house? No, seriously, you ask 100 people to list the top 10 things they're concerned about. I don't think it shows up in the top 10. I'm just being totally honest. I don't think the public gives a rip whether it's illegal or not. Let me answer that question. It depends on who's he's shown it to. If he's showing a classified documents that God knows who in Russia or his, you know. That's not the test though. The test is he did it. And the failure here is that DOJ could have had some kind of accountability here if it moved quicker. It gave Trump and his friends the opportunity to mess this all up and confuse people and make them ask the very question that Jeff is asking. You know, is it really not? Well, I would argue, Jay, that because if you did a rushed prosecution and indictment, it would look even more political. What's a rushed prosecution? We know- Well, I mean, you said this was taking too long. I mean, if you were to put this on a fast timeline to Jeff's point, now you really made it look like it's a political get-even. Well, I think the liberal side of the, you know, the room is going to find anything he did was indictable and convictable. Well, I'm telling you this, if they do indict him. The conservative side of the room is gonna find that it's all a witch hunt and it doesn't matter and the delay makes them wonder about the institutions around government. But you raised before the odds of when someone should or should not be indicted, both of you. I don't think there's any question in my mind that unless they are about as close to 100% sure that the evidence is so overwhelming that any jury, whether they have a high school education or not, will do something other than convict. They are not bringing that indictment. And I can understand why they are uncovering. They can never have that. And they can and they are uncovering every rock that they can possibly find. And I think if they don't feel close to 100% and I mean, very close, he will not be indicted.  That is the worst scenario of any kind that the three of us can consider. That could happen. That could happen no matter how well-prepared they are, how many dots, the i's, the crosses, the t's, it could happen. And while that trial is going on, there'll be all kinds of shenanigans. So when do you reach the point of 100% you don't. And if that's the test on whether to indict him or try to indict him. Well, yes you can. Yes you can. I mean, let's assume that Mark Meadows spills the beans. Let's just assume it. You're pretty close to 100%. Right there.  Well, that's a big assumption, by the way. That would be a vote for immunity then, wouldn't it? But even if he spilled the beans in that meeting with the Department of Justice, or the grand jury where he was testifying. And I'm not sure that really does it. I'm not sure that gives you 100%. Well, but it's not by itself. I mean, my assumption is that they are going step by step by step by step. You and I may feel they're taking too many steps that it's too delayed. I come to the bottom line, which I just said.  No indictment, no indictment is 10 times better. Okay, wait, oh, is it really? Yes. First of all, I disagree, because I think that if you can't get a conviction, it may be just the way things go, no matter how much evidence you have lined up. And the other thing I wanna add, is that if you have no indictment, no indictment after spreading all this evidence so far that they have all this tabloid reporting for the past year and a half, where everybody in the world really knows what happened here. Okay, and if you have no indictment, what does that say? What does it say if you wanna take the other side of it, I'll play the 35% that love Trump. How come Hunter Biden hasn't been indicted yet? You wanna talk about no indictment taking forever. I mean, how about that, Jay? You must be very happy about that one. They got no evidence. Oh, no, no, they have no evidence. They have the computer, they have a guy who's been involved in all kinds of things. I'm not saying he should be indicted, I'm just saying, how come you're not concerned about how long that's taking? That investigation is still ongoing. They have no evidence. Well, then why are they still investigating? I just think that no indictment- That's another question, by the way, going back to my earlier point. That's take two, that's right. If the Department of Justice decides, you know, like for example, just a few days ago, they said, we are not gonna prosecute Pence, right? That was a public announcement, you know? That game is such a shock, by the way. You don't look shocked to me. I was shocked by that statement. The guy that your consultant behind you may look shocked, but you're not shocked. What I'm saying though, is that that is really something that they said they weren't gonna prosecute, okay? And they're not gonna say that with Hunter Biden, because you know why? It sounds too political. If they were forced to make a decision and say what their plan was, if they were forced to make a decision and say, you know, we don't have it on these other two cases, January 6th in Mar-a-Lago, we are not gonna prosecute. How many boxes did they find in Biden's? Offices in home of classified documents? Let me finish. Well, it's how he treated it. The way Donald Trump treated it versus Biden is day and night. Well, that's true, but that doesn't change the crime.  Hey, as a former bank manager, let me address that. No, I just, okay, guess what? We've run out of time. You know, I'm reluctant to ask for last thoughts. I really am reluctant, but however, I'm a masochist. So Jeff, go ahead. I'm done. Jay, by all means. I'm done too. I can't afford to have this thing. Are we done yet? We're out of time. I'd like to thank my guests. My esteemed guests, Jeff Portnoy and my ever-loving co-host, Jay Feiduck. My God, when I do this show, I never know what I'm gonna get. And guess what? I didn't know I was gonna get this. All you get is brilliance. Yeah, yeah. All right, guess what? Why don't you join us next week for American Issues Take One? I'm Tim Apachele, I think. And won't you join us next week? Until then, aloha.
