Well, let us talk about an example of ethical naturalism. Now, if you look at the screen, we have something called emotivism. Now, we have been talking about ethical naturalism and ethical naturalism as you would remember with understanding moral or ethical judgments in terms of non-ethical judgments. So, this happens to be the crucial defining of ethical naturalism. So, there is a domain of ethical judgments, which can be understood in terms of non-ethical judgments. Now, this was the basis of ethical naturalism. Now, what could be examples of ethical naturalism? We have slightly talked about utilitarianism as an example of ethical naturalism. Today, we are going to explore another example of ethical naturalism, which is called emotivism. Now, emotivism as you would figure out comes from the root emotion or something to do with emotion. Now, we need to understand whether emotions are, what are emotions and what is emotivism as a moral theory, which lays on a foundation of ethical naturalism. Let me briefly remind you of the categorization that we have. Well, the most fundamental layer is metaethics and on top of it would be moral theory and on top of it is applied ethics. So, analogically, this can be seen as a three-layered format or framework in our moral thinking. The bottom layer is metaethics, which is the foundational and on top of that is built moral theory and depending on the moral theory, we have answers to applied questions. Now, ethical naturalism is a form of metaethics. The example of a moral theory is emotivism. It can be anything that you would like or any theory that stands on ethical naturalism and applied ethics is stealing wrong. How do you answer this question? So, if I answer yes, then this is an applied ethical question. Now, having known this, let us go ahead and explore what is emotivism? Well, what are emotions? Emotions are something that we feel. Now, if emotions are feelings, we know that we are introspectively aware of them. Now, if emotions can be barely understood as feelings and how are we aware of them? We are introspectively aware of them. So, you would yourself know whether you are happy or unhappy about a particular thing. Now, let us imagine, how do we sort a moral question or an ethical question? Suppose, the question that we asked in the applied ethics level that well is stealing wrong. Now, various moral theories have various answers to it. Now, in the ambit of ethical naturalism, there is this moral theory called emotivism. Let us see what does emotivism say about it? Well, emotivism very simply put is saying that value judgments are dependent on the emotions that they bring forth. So, this is basically what is emotivism. So, we take, we can understand emotivism is value judgments are determined by emotions or the feelings and as we will further explore, they are useful only to incite further emotions or feelings. Now, let us pay attention on the first part of the claim. The first part of the claim is that value judgments are determined by emotions and feelings. Now, is that the case? Now, let us think over it for a certain time that well, if you are posed with a question or a value question, how do you decide whether it is, how do you answer it? Well, how many of you reason, how many of you look at the benefit that it brings along, how many of you would like to be content and conceive whether it is universalizable, how many of you would be follow the utilitarian way and evaluate or assess how much net happiness does it bring along or if somebody answers that stealing is wrong because I do not feel good about it or I feel bad about it, it brings about a negative reaction in me. I am disdained by the concept of stealing or whenever I hear something stealing. Let us go back and re-examine the example that we talked about. X is killing Y, now that is a statement of fact, but what makes X killing of Y or wrong act or a value judgment of on this act is well the emotion that this such an act brings forth in the agent. If I am an observer and I see that X is killing Y and I just have negative reactions to it, I do not like it, I feel bad about it, I have a bad emotional response to it, then for me that is wrong. Now, if I am an emotivist, I would reason it this way, you could perhaps look around and to find that many people would say that well if you ask Mother Teresa or if you ask any social worker that why do you enjoy doing social work or why do you choose social work. Now, apart from pragmatic necessities, if at a deeper level people are interested because perhaps someone would answer that well because it is my duty to help less privileged, well that is a part of duty ethics, but if someone just says that I do social work because I like it, now this is an is it a explanation or not, how would you count it, now take a look at the question. Now, if the question is if X is any act, X is right because I feel good about it, do you consider this as a justification for the act being good or many of us would perhaps consider that well it is a side effect of the right act that well I do something good or X is right, not because I feel good about it, but X is right therefore I feel good about it. Now, if I term this as statement one and statement two, now if you are in support of statement one, well then you are an emotivist, if you are in support of statement two or you understand right from some other reason and feeling good about it is only a consequence of it, then you are not an emotivist. So, this is an example of an emotivist, this is not an emotivist, so we see that well any act is right because I feel good about it and likewise any act is wrong because I feel bad about it, now let us imagine another example, say if we are we see a person stealing and if you feel bad about it that makes it wrong and if you feel good about it that makes it right. So, what is the conclusion that can be drawn from this is well values or value judgments are expression of the agent's emotional reaction, so this basically sums up that well what is meant by value judgments or by emotivism that value judgments are expression of the agent's emotional reaction. Now, if you agree with this well then you are an emotivist, now you might ask the question that well if value judgments or ethics is subservient to feelings and human feelings where is the objectivity, so this is a question what about ethical objectivity, the same act, act X for agent P, agent Q and agent R can have different ethical values, so for someone it could be right, for someone it could be wrong and for someone it could be well without any moral consequence, so we can call it a moral, now having these three possibilities that the same act can depending on the agent have different judgments, so where what can we have an objective judgment about X, well the answer for most emotivists would be well no nothing trans agent that is let me put that again clearly, so value judgments then become a consequence of the agent, so if the agent is having a positive reaction to it the action is right, if he is having a negative reaction to it the action is wrong and if agent does not have a value reaction to it can call it as a moral, well then what use are more value judgments that is a valid question that we could ask, now let us look at it this way, if we find that well there are there is a dilemma, there is a value dilemma and some of the people choose to be emotivists and say that well whatever reaction we have to it that determines the value judgment of that reaction to it, so whatever emotional reaction we have, so a social worker says that I feel good about social working, so I do social work, a selfish person would say that I feel good about being selfish therefore I am selfish, a selfless person would say that I feel good about being selfless and bad about being selfish, so I am selfless, so how can we judge the other, yes this definitely tends to fall into the domain of emotional or ethical relativism that well, then there is no objective criteria, what some philosophers have tried to go ahead and build a system to justify emotivism is that well are basic moral apparatus as human beings remains the same and thereof we do have standard emotional response to a situation, so compassion is for instance, a compassion is a standard reaction, so feeling bad or having a negative emotional response to somebody else's suffering is perhaps something that is a part of our frame work of approaching the world and therefore we do not like suffering and others suffering and therefore we have, we think that suffering is bad even for the other where it is not for the self, so this is kind of a postulation of a universal human nature and therefore a universal human reaction is a possible justification of emotivism, so if you take a look one of the justification run up is universal human nature which leads to standard emotional reactions again which leads to common values, this could be a justification of emotivism, so this emotivism as objective, well, but this is a weak justification from more than one angles because how do we postulate a universal human nature or how do we thereof build the standard human emotional reaction because why by very definition our emotional reactions are determining values, so they are more fundamental than values, so an implicit claim here is in emotivism is that emotions more fundamental than values, now if this is the case that emotions are more fundamental than values then emotivism holds the case, well then let us tackle this question again what use are value judgment, one is very much justified in asking utility of value judgments as per emotivism, well emotivists have tried to answer this question by saying well it is if you would remember the second part of the definition that we talked about the definition of emotivism that we talked about to incite similar emotion and therefore consequent action, so emotivists have said that value judgments are nonsensical because they have no truth value but are a kind of necessary nonsense, now how does this make sense, well let us say what is the utility of value judgments, well as per emotivism value judgments incite similar emotion as the emotion felt by the agent, emotion of approval or disapproval and therefore that brings about a consequent action, now value judgments are nonsensical that is they have no truth value but are kind of a necessary nonsense, why a necessary nonsense, before we let us handle the question one by one, now let us say let us look at it this way now, let us say if a soldier before a final battle charge is addresses his fellow soldiers or his subordinates, well that is a very inspiring speech generally, what does it inspire, where we talk about freedom, they talk about justice, about fairness, about martyrdom, now this justification or this speech from the emotivist perspective is just an emotivist judgment and the leader feels that way and the purpose of this emotivist speech is to incite such a feeling in this subordinate soldiers, so that the entire team performs to the best of their ability, so it is irrelevant that for the leader or that whatever he says is true or false in the world out there, but what matters is that it incites the others subordinates to go ahead for a battle charge, so that is the justification that emotivist give, so yes the statement of the leader is nonsensical or because it does not have any truth value, it is mere exhortations, it is an appeal which is not verifiable, but it is necessary because it brings about similar emotional reaction to the, in the listeners. Now this example could be put forth into poetry, into songs of valor, poems of valor of movies and any kind of an, when one agent tries to influence the other agent, their value judgments are of a certain utility that emotivism, that value judgments are emotional reactions incites that there should be the followers of the subordinates to go ahead for another action. Now this is what emotivists have called the thrust or the utility of value judgments. Now so this we see as an example of value emotivism, value judgments being emotional, emotive, but necessary nonsense because they exhort action, so this happens to be the utility of emotivism. Now emotivism was a kind of ethical non-naturalism. Now I would like you to think that well we have talked about ethical naturalism, what could be the weapons or arsenal in the hands of the ethical non-naturalist. Now if you are an ethical naturalist, you could be an emotivist, you could be a utilitarian, you could be any theory which has an empirical correlate, but if you are a non-naturalist then what? Then what you have in your ambit? If what does the ethical non-naturalist have in his arsenal? Now that is a question that you must wonder about that well perhaps whatever we meant by ethical naturalism is almost synonymous, but not totally with what is empirically available to us, empirically or you can understand it clearly as experientially. Now what is available from experience? Now what is a dilemma or a moral question? That experience gives it to us, but what is the solution? How do we arrive at that? Now if we do not have a naturalistic or empiricistic reaction pattern, how do we determine what is right or wrong? If it is not reasons, if it is not feelings then what is in the arsenal of ethical non-naturalist to make value judgments? So we will look at ethical non-naturalism as a meta-ethical claim now.


How are you? Who is this? Michael Waxman? Hi. How are you? Nice to see you. You're not there. Well, my hair will do. Mr. President, yes. Nice to see you. My house could see you. Pretty good, Mr. President. You've grown in Wisconsin. I saw you with Dr. Percy. No, not at all. I guess things are going well. That's too close. Well, I'm very pleased. Well, listen, I'm very pleased. For all of us, this is something that the Consumer Party Safety Commission has been working on for a while. We've been very relaxed, and it's a bipartisan effort to sell. Well, I'm pleased to do it, and I know really what it does is, from a consumer's safety standpoint, put children's toys on the same basis as a dog thing. Mr. President, we are indeed grateful for that. It's a hard battle, but we really appreciate it for all of them. All right. This is the right season. Yes, sir. This season to do it. Yes. It is done. Thank you. Well, thank all of you. It's a grateful treat. Thank you. Thank you for referring to the ceremony. Thank you very much. The consumers, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The consumers, thank you. Thanks a lot. Good luck, guys.


You spotted a problem with the computer models and you did communicate this to Tom Carl. What happened there? Well, one of the things I wanted to look at, they chose two computer models. They had a choice of 14 models and the model they used for temperature, which was the Canadian model, had the largest temperature changes in the United States for the 21st century of all the climate models that were available for the report. And the model that predicted the greatest changes in precipitation, the British model, had was the one that they chose also. So they chose extreme models. And of course, I wanted to see how well they worked. And so I asked to see an incredible simple test to see if the models could produce the 10 year running means as US average temperature back to the year 1900. I mean, that's about a simple thing as you can get. What I mean by that is 1901 to 1910, two to 1911, et cetera, all the way to when the report came out. And not to be too technical about it, but the model added noise to the data. In other words, the data had a certain amount of year to year noise in it, okay? And you apply the model to it and pretend you're running means the result got more noise. So the model created literally negative knowledge. This is the exact analogy to giving students a four-part multiple choice test and have them somehow get less than 25%, which seems impossible, but it can happen. They were worse than random numbers. And so I sent that result to Tom Carl who was the head scientist for the first assessment report. And he wrote back to me, and I can quote from it if you want me to read it, but I think I need to paraphrase it best. He said, yes, you were right, but we didn't just look at 10 year running means we looked at one, five, 10, 20 and 25. And in each case, the models produced more variance than was in the raw data. So the head scientist for the report acknowledges to me, yeah, you were right. In fact, it's worse than you thought. It's everywhere. And to go ahead with that report, I mean, I'll use a word, not a pleasant word, but that's scientific malpractice because it is exactly equivalent to medical malpractice in prescribing something that you know either is not gonna work or is gonna harm the patient or is gonna work in the opposite way that it was supposed to. That's precisely what happened with that report. And are you willing to read his email back to you by the way? Yeah, sure. Hold on, I'm gonna have to do it out of the book. Okay. This is Luke Warming, that's a 2017 book. Actually, it's still pretty valid. Okay, from Tom Carl. Okay, let me send you what I wrote to him. First of all, this was in my review. All implied effects, including the large temperature rise are therefore based upon a multiple scientific failure. The national climate assessments continued use of those models and that approach is a willful choice to disregard the most fundamental scientific rules and that they did not find and eliminate such an egregious error is astounding. For that reason alone, the NCA should be withdrawn from the public sphere until it becomes scientifically based. Okay, those are strong words, but I can back them up. And here's what Tom wrote back. He said, one has to look at time averages in the assessment we were most interested in decadal to century trends, not annual averages. Perenn, note as mentioned above, we use decadal 10 year moving averages, we meaning me use 10 run, we didn't use annual data. I don't know why he said I did. Anyway, going on. So we would not be inclined to perform the test you did. Nevertheless, we ran the test you did but changed the averaging period. And then he included the results for all the averaging periods, one, five, 10, 20 and 25 years. And he provided graphics that I kind of modified a little bit to make them more readable. And you can see that the variance increases when you apply the model rather than decreases. That's a hallmark of the failed model. It's a model that you shouldn't use to protect anything. So it's worth pointing out that both sides agree it is a failed model that makes things worse. And that is even poor result than randomly picking numbers but they still go ahead. Okay, so is this a smoking gun? No, it's a mushroom cloud, obviously. And that was just the beginning. I mean, we had the second report that was so bad that I can find something wrong in every paragraph. And I wrote a multi-thousand page document that looks just like it, hold on. This is the exact cover analog to the second climate report. And the flow of that one's all the same and it goes on and on and shows exactly what's wrong. The third one was simply blatant. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration wrote in their introduction that this is a key deliverable in President Obama's climate action plan. Okay, just tell us this political because you just did. And I can go on and on on that but let's talk about the major prediction from the first assessment report. After all, that report was a 2000 report released in 2001. It's 2021, it's 20 years after that. It predicted that US temperatures in this century, the 21st century would rise between five and nine degrees Fahrenheit. And most of the rises in temperature that are predicted by these models, by the way, are linear, they're not exponential. So if you make that linear assumption, we should have had a rise of about a degree, it over a degree Fahrenheit by now in the US record. One interesting thing happened after the report came out. The National Climatic Data Center put out a new temperature monitoring record called the Reference Climate Network. A relatively small number of stations, very good ones, without interfering things like buildings, the same instrumentation, everything calibrated. And it went online in 2004. And you know how much warming it shows in the US between 2004 and now? None, not a lick. And by the way, that matches their other long-term record, the Historical Climate Network II, which doesn't show anything since 2004. The Reference Climate Network is about 100 superb quality monitors spread properly throughout the USA. These were designed to be the base monitor for surface temperature changes, the purpose of which was to avoid any doubt at all as to the changing temperatures over time. I don't know how many people know that, but it's kind of obvious looking at the data. And these have got to be about the best surface temperature measurements that anybody's doing. Oh, the Reference Climate Network most certainly is. The Reference Climate Network is the best surface record that we have because the instruments are all standardized, they're calibrated. And it was designed because of criticism of the older climate networks. They were maybe fussed around with or something like that. And Tom Carl, the same guy who was the head of the National Assessment was the head of the National Climatic Data Center and he pushed for this. So yeah, they produced a very good record. The only problem is it doesn't show like a warming. So peer reviewed in climate science means that your peers can look at your work and you can agree with them that it is wrong, but you can still go ahead and publish it. Today we are in Kelvin Grove and we're having a climate change walk in March. And Brett Humbert is supposed to be here today and I'm inspired by her last time I was wearing this T-shirt. And I do want to change in the world for such a young age or child. Change is important to me. Great. Are you skipping school today? Yes. How do you feel about that? Great. Yeah. I do miss my friends in my school but I do know that it's important to look after our planet. And I've also got a message to Boris Johnson and all the world leaders that you're doing a very bad job right now and you need to really take care of our world because we only have one planet to live on and this planet means everything. Hey, thanks so much. First of all, let me just clear that those are metaphors. In speeches you often use metaphors. Of course, I don't mean literally that I want people to panic. So there was no scientific study that made me come to that conclusion.


Everyone, welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of .NEXT 2021 virtual. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. We're here with two great guests, Rajeev and Marani, who's the chief technology officer at Thomas Cornerlea, SVP of Product Management. Day two keynote, product, platform, announcements, news, a lot of people, Rajeev are super excited about the platform, moving to subscription model, everything's kind of coming into place. How are the customers seeing this? How are they adopted? Hybrid cloud, it's a hybrid, hybrid, hybrid, data, data, data, those are the, that's where the puck is right now, you guys are there. How are customers seeing this? Great question, John, and by the way, great to be back here on theCUBE again this year. So when we talk to our customers, pretty much all of them agree that for them, the ideal state that they want to be in is a hybrid world, right? Where they want to essentially be able to run both on the private data center and the public cloud. And sort of have a common platform, common experience, common skill sets, same people managing workloads across both locations. And unfortunately, most of them don't have that tooling available today to do so, right? And that's where the platform, the Nutanix platform's come a long way. We've always been great at running in the data center, running every single workflow. We continue to make great strides on our core with increased performance for the most demanding workloads out there. But what we have done in the last couple of years is also extend this platform to run in the public cloud and essentially provide the same capabilities, the same operational behavior across locations. And that's what we're seeing a lot of excitement from our customers because they really want to be in that state, but they have the common tooling across both locations. As you can imagine, we're getting traction with the customers who want to move workloads to public cloud, don't want to spend the effort to refactor them, or for customers who really want to operate in a hybrid mode with things like disaster recovery, cloud bursting, workloads like that. So, you know, I think we've made a great step in that direction and continue to do more with our customers. What is the big challenge that you're seeing with this hybrid transition from your customers and how are you solving that specifically? Yeah. If you look at how public and private operate today, they're very different in the kind of technologies used and most customers today will have two separate teams, like one for their on-prem workloads using a certain set of tooling, a second completely different team managing a completely different set of workloads with different technologies. And that's not an ideal state. In some senses, that's not true hybrid, right? It's like creating two new silos, if anything. And our vision is that you get a point where both of these operate in the same manner. You have the same people managing all of them, the same workloads on anywhere, but similar performance, similar SLA. So they're going to literally get to the point where applications and data can move back and forth. And that's where I think the real future is for hybrid. I have to ask you a personal question. It's the CTO, you've got to be excited with the architecture that's evolving with hybrid and multi-cloud. I mean, it's pretty exciting from a tech standpoint. What's your reaction? 100%, and it's been a long time coming, right? We've been building pieces of this over years. And if you look at all the product announcements the Nutanix has made over the last few years and the acquisitions we've made and so on, there's been a purpose behind them. There's been a purpose to get to this model where we can operate customers who are close to your hybrid environment. So really, really happy to see all of that come together years and years of work, finally bearing fruit. Well, we've had many conversations in the past, but I congratulate you. A lot more to do, so much more action happening. Thomas, you got the keys to the kingdom, okay? And the product manager, you got to prioritize, you got to put it together. What are the key components of this Nutanix cloud platform, a hybrid cloud, multi-cloud strategy that's in place? Because there's a lot of headroom there, but take us through the key components today and then how that translates into hybrid, multi-cloud for the future. Thank you, John, thank you again. I'm great to be here. I mean, kind of Reggie said it up really nicely here. If you look at our portfolio at Nutanix, what we have is great technologies that have been sold as a lot of different products in the past, right? And what we've done the last few months is we kind of bring things together, simplify and streamline, and we align everything around a cloud platform, right? And this is really the message we're going after is, look, it's not about the products, about solutions, about business outcomes for customers. And so we're really focusing on, you know, pushing the cloud platform, which encompasses five key areas for us. What we refer to as cloud infrastructure, you know, the infrastructure is going to be running, your workloads, cloud management, which is how you're going to go energy manage, operate, automate and get governance. And then services on top, let's start around all around data, right? So we have unified storage, files and objects, data services, we have database services, then we have our set of desktop services, solutions for EUC. So all of this, the big change for us is, this is something that, you know, you can consume in terms of solutions, can consume on-premises. As Reggie discussed, you know, we can take the same platform and deploy it in public cloud regions now, right? So you can now get no seamless hybrid cloud, same operating model, but increasingly what we're doing is taking those solutions and retargeting issues and problems at workloads running natively in public clouds. So think of this as going after automating, more governance, security, you know, files, objects, database services, wherever your workload is running. So this is taking this portfolio and reapplying it and targeting on-prem, at the edge, in hybrid and increasingly in public cloud, natively. That's awesome. I've been watching some of the footage and I was noticing quite a lot of innovation around virtualized networking, disaster recovery, security and data services. It's all good. You guys have been, this is in your wheelhouse. I know you guys have been doing this for many, many years. So I want to dive deeper in that because the theme right now that we've been reporting on, you guys are hitting right here with the keynote is cloud scale is about faster development, right? Cloud native is about speed. It's about not waiting for these old departments, IT or security to get back to them in days or weeks and responding to either policy or some changes. You got to move faster and data is critical in all of this. So we'll start with virtualized networking because networking again is a key part of it. The developers want to go faster. They're shifting left. Take us through the virtualization piece of how important that is. Yeah, that's actually a great question as well. So if you think about it, virtual networking is the first step towards building a real cloud-like infrastructure on-premises that extends out to include networking as well. So one of the key components of any cloud is automation and the key component is self-service. And with the API, as you put it on virtual networking, all of that becomes much simpler, much more possible than having to, you know, call up IT, work with someone there to reconfigure physical networks and so on. So we can do that in a self-service way, much more automated way. But beyond that, the notion of virtual networks is really powerful because it helps us to now essentially extend networks and replicate networks anywhere on the private data center, but in the public cloud as well. So now when customers move their workloads, we've already made that very simple with our clusters offering. But if you really peek behind the layers a little bit, it's like, well, yeah, but the network's not the same on the site. So now it means I have to go reIP my workloads, create new subnets and all of that. So there was a little bit of complication left in that process. With virtual networks, that goes away also. So essentially you can reference the same network in both locations. You can literally move your workloads, no redesign of your network required and still get that self-service and automation capabilities of virtual networking. So great step forward and really helps us complete that infrastructure as a service stack. We had great storage capabilities before, we had great compute capabilities before and sort of networking as a third leg and all of that. Talk about the complexity here because I think a lot of people will look at DevOps movement and say, infrastructure as code, when you go to one cloud, it's okay, you can make things easier, programmable. When you start getting into data center, private data centers or essentially edges now because if it's a distributed cloud environment or cloud operations, it's essentially one big cloud operation. So the networks are different, as you said. This is a big deal. Okay, so to make infrastructure as code happen in multiple environments across multiple clouds is not trivial. Could you talk about the main trends and how you guys see this evolving and how you solve that? Yeah, well, the beauty here is that we are actually creating the same environment everywhere, right? From the point of view of networking, compute and storage, but also things like security. So when you move workloads, things like security postures also move over, which is super important. It's a really hard problem and something a lot of CIOs struggle with, but having the same security posture in public and private cloud is important as well. So with this cluster's offering and our on-prem offering completing the infrastructure as a service stack, we really now have this capability where your operations really are unified across multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, anywhere you run. Okay, so if I have multiple cloud vendors, they're different vendors, you guys are creating a connection unifying those three. Is that right? Essentially, yes. We're running the same stack on all of them and abstracting away the differences between the clouds that you can run operations. And the benefits of the customers are what? What's the main benefit there? Essentially, they don't have to worry about where their workloads are running. They can pick the best cloud for their workloads. You can seamlessly move them between cloud. They can move their data over easily and essentially stop worrying about getting locked into a single cloud. Either a multi-cloud scenario or a hybrid cloud scenario, right? There are many companies now who have started on a cloud-first mandate, but over time realize that they want to move workloads back to on-prem. All the other way around, traditional workloads that have started on-prem and want to move them to public cloud now. And we make that really simple. Kind of a trick question. I wanted to tee that up for Thomas because I love that kind of that horizontal scales with the clouds all about. But when you factor data into it, this is the sweet spot because this is where, you know, I think it gets really exciting and complicated too because, you know, data's got, can get unwieldy pretty quickly. You've got state, you've got multiple applications. Thomas, what's your, can you share the data aspect of this? This is super, super important. Absolutely. And it's, you know, it's really our core source of differentiation. We think about it. Like that's what makes Nutanix special, right? In the market, when we talk about cloud, right? Actually, if you've been following Nutanix for years, you know, we've been talking a lot about making infrastructure invisible, right? The new way for us to talk about what we're doing with our vision is, is to make clouds invisible, right? So that in the end, you can focus on your own business, right? So how do you make clouds invisible? Lots of technologies that the application layer to go and containerize applications, you know, make them portable, modernize them, make them cloud-native. That's all fine when you're not talking of state-class containers. That's the simplest thing to move around, right? But as we all know, you know, applications end of the day rely on data and measure the data across all of these different locations. I'm not even going to go sideways because that's almost a given. When you're talking about the application, you can go and stretch from edge to on-prem to hybrid to different public cloud regions. You know, how do you go and basically control of that and get consistency of all of this, right? So that's part of it is being aware of where your data is, right? But the other part is that you can see a set of data services regardless of where you're running. And so this is something that we look at the cloud platform where we provide you the cloud infrastructure to go and run the applications, but you also built into the cloud platform, you get all of your core data services, whether you have to consume file services, object services, or database services to re-support your application. And that will move with your application. That is the key thing here. By bringing everything onto the same platform, you now get to see the operations regardless of where you're running the application. The last thing that we're adding, and this is a new offering that we're just launching, which is a service, it's called Nutellix Data Lens, which is a solution that will give you visibility and allow you to go and get better governance around all your data wherever it may live across on-prem, edge, and public clouds. That's a big deal again, because to manage it, you first have to go and make sense of it and get control over it. And that's what Data Lens is going to be all about. You know, one of the things we've been reporting on is data is now a competitive advantage, especially when you have workflows involved. Super important, how do you see customers go into the edge? Because if you have this environment, how does the data equation, Thomas, go to the edge? How do you see that evolving? So it's, I mean, edge is not one thing. And that's actually the biggest part of the challenge of defining what the edge is, depending on the customer that you're working with. But in many cases, you get data ingesting of being created at the edge that you then have to go move to either your private cloud or your public cloud environment to go and basically aggregate it, analyze it, and get insights from it. So this is where a lot of our technologies, whether it's having the objects offering built in, allows you to go and make the ingest over great distances, over the network. And then have your common data lake to actually do analytics on it, over our own object store. Again, the instance we brought into our storage solutions here is being able to actually do analytics directly onto the object store solution, using things like S3A or S3Select built into our protocols. So again, make it easy for you to go and ingest anywhere, control your data, and then get value out of it using some of the latest enhancements on the API front. Rajiv, databases are still the hard of most applications in the enterprise these days, but databases are not just the data, there's a lot of different data moving around. You have a lot of new data engineering platforms coming in. A lot of customers are scratching their head and they want to kind of be ready and be ready today. Talk about your view of the database services space and what you guys are doing to help enterprise operate and manage their databases. Yeah, it's a super important area, right? I mean, databases are probably the most important workload customers run on-premises and pretty close on the public cloud as well. And if you look at it recently, the tooling that's available on-premises, fairly traditional, but the cloud's been being great innovation. We look at things like Amazon's Relation Database Service, makes it an order of magnitude simpler for customers to manage their databases. At the same time, we also have a proliferation of databases. We have the traditional Oracle and SQL Server, but we have Open Source, MongoDB, and MySQL, and a lot of Postgres. There's a lot of different kinds of databases that people have to manage and now it just becomes just a killer. I have this spoke tooling for each one of them. So with our era product, what we're doing is essentially creating a database management layer that unifies operations across your databases and across location of the cloud and private cloud. So all the operations that you need to do, which are very complicated in the traditional tooling, the provisioning of databases, backing up and restoring them, providing a true time machine capability so you can roll back transactions, doing copy data management for your developers. All of that has existed in the era for a wide variety of database engines, your choice of database engine at the back end. And so the new capabilities you're adding sort of extend that lead that we have in that space. So one of the things we announced at .next is one click storage scaling. So one of the common problems with databases is as they grow over time, it's not running out of storage capacity. Now, reprovision storage for a database might get all the data over it's weeks and months of work, right? Well, guess what? With era, you can do that in one click. It uses the underlying AOS scale out architecture to provision more storage and it does it with zero downtime. So on the fly, you can resize your databases as needed. We're adding some security capabilities. You're adding some capabilities around resilience. Era continues to be a very exciting product for us. And one of the things that we're really excited about is that it can really unify database operations between private and public cloud. In the future, we also offer a version of Era which operates on native public cloud instances and really excited about that. Yeah, and you guys got the two X performance on scaling up databases and analytics. Another big point there. Since you brought up security, I got to ask you, how are you guys talking about security? Asi, it's embedded in from the beginning. I know you guys continue to talk about that, but talk about Regi, the security that's on everyone's mind. Okay, it's always evolving. You're seeing ransomware to continue to happen more and more and more. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. What do you guys help? How are you guys helping customers stay secure? The security is something that you always have to think about as it depends in depth when it comes to security. There's no one product that's going to do everything for you. That said, what we are trying to do is to essentially cover the gamut of detection prevention and response with our security. And ransomware is a great example of that, right? We partnered with Qualis to essentially be able to do a risk assessment of your workloads, to basically be able to look into your workloads, see whether they've been bashed, whether they have any known vulnerabilities and so on. So try and prevent malware from infecting your workloads in the first place, right? So that's the first line of defense. Now, no systems will be perfect. Some malware will probably get it anyway. So then you detect it, right? We have a database of over 4,000 ransomware signatures that you can use to prevent ransomware from, or detect ransomware if it does infect the system. And if that happens, we can prevent it from doing any damage by putting your file systems and storage into read-only mode, right? You can also prevent lateral spread of your ransomware through microsegmentation. And finally, if you were to evade all those defenses that you were actually able to encrypt data on a filer, we have immutable snapshots that you can recover from those kind of attacks. So it's really a defense in depth approach. And in keeping with that, we also have a rich ecosystem of partners. Wallis is one of them, but all the networks, monk, et cetera, that we work with closely to make sure that our customers have the best tooling around and the simplest way to manage security is not for their infrastructure. Well, I got to say, I'm very impressed guys by the announcements from the team. I've been, we've been following new trends from the beginning as you know. And now it's back in the next phase of the inflection point. I mean, looking at my notebook here from the announcements, the VPC virtual networking, DR observability, zero trust security workload, governance performance, expanded availability and AWS elastic DR. Okay, we'll get that in a second. Clusters on Azure preview, cloud native ecosystem, cloud control plane. I mean, besides all the buzzword bingo that's going on there. This is cloud. This is a cloud native story. This is distributed computing. This is virtualization, containers, cloud native kind of all kind of coming together around data. What you see here is, I mean, it is cloud. It is about the modern applications, right? And this is about our shift in strategy in terms of focusing on the pieces where we're going to be great at, right? And a lot of these are around data, giving you data services, data governance, you know, having, giving you an invisible platform that can be running in any cloud. And then partnering, right? And this is just recognizing, you know, what's going on in the world, right? People want options, customers want options when it comes to cloud. They want options to where they're running. Developers want options in terms of whether they'll be using to and build the modern applications, right? So a big thing here is providing and being the best platform to go and actually support for developers to come in and build and run their new and modern applications. That means that for us, supporting a broad ecosystem of partners on top of the platform. You know, we announced our partnership with Red Hat a couple of months ago, right? And this is going to be a big deal for us because again, we're bringing two leaders in industry that are amenity complimentary when it comes to providing you a complete stack to go and build, run and manage your clients' applications. When you do that on premises, Newtonics will be like the preferred ACI environment to do that using a Red Hat OpenShift or you know, bring this to public cloud and again, making it seamless and easy to do the applications and they're supporting data services around them that support them whether they're running on-prem in hybrid or in public cloud. So Planetive is a big deal but when it comes to Planetive, the way we look at this, it's all about giving customers choice, choice of platform services and choice of infrastructure services. You know, it's talk of the Red Hat folks, Reggie. It's, you know, it's there and operating system thinking company. You know, you look at the internet now and cloud and edge and on-premise. It's essentially an operating system. You know, you need your backup and recovery. You need the disaster recovery. You need to have the HCI. You need to have all these elements part of the system. It's building on top of the existing Nutanix legacy and the roots in the ecosystem with new stuff. Right. And in fact, the Red Hat is a great example of, you know, perfect marriage if you will, right? It's the best in class platform for running cloud native workloads and the best in class platform service offering in there. So two really great companies coming together. So very happy that we could get that done. And, you know, the point here is that cloud native applications still need infrastructure to run on, right? And that infrastructure, if anything, the demands on that are growing. It's no longer that, hey, look, I have some block storage. I have some filers and, you know, the storage site I'm set. People are using things like object stores using databases increasingly. They're using the Kafka and MapReduce and all kinds of data stores out there. And the platform has to be great at supporting all of them. And that's where, as Thomas said earlier, data services, data storage, those are our strengths. So that's where we're building on. That's from the platform. And then from there onwards, the platform services, great to have Red Hat as a part of that. People still forget this, you know, still hardware and software working together behind the scenes. The old joke we have here in theCUBE is, serverless is running on a bunch of servers. So, you know, this is the way it's going. It's really the innovation. This is infrastructure as code, truly. This is what's happening. It's super exciting. Rajiv, Thomas, thank you guys for coming on. Always great to talk to you guys. Congratulations on an amazing platform you guys are developing. Looks really strong. People are giving it rave reviews. And congratulations on your keynotes. Thank you for having us. Okay, this is theCUBE coverage with that next global virtual 2021 Cube coverage, day two keynote review. I'm John Furrier theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosso here. For today's video, I want to show a useful feature in Google Calendar, particularly if you're working in something like logistics or the few fields that really rely on knowing both local time and universal coordinated time typically abbreviated as UTC. So there's a couple of features in Google Calendar that are really useful and a lot of people it's very easy to look over them. The first is this nice world time zone calendar. You can see I've set up my time zones here. And that's actually one way to add UTC to your calendar. So if you're working remotely with colleagues in specific time zones, it's a very easy way for you to know your local time as well as the time in your key time zones around the world. And Google has these little icons that help you see whether it's daytime or nighttime in them. Another thing you can do with with Google and this is where I'm going to show the ability to add UTC along your calendar is to display a secondary time zone. So you just need to click on this display secondary time zone option. Now Israel time is my primary time zone. And I'm going to add UTC or Zulu as my second time zone. So then we just need to go into second time zone. And if you go, it's GT GMT plus zero. And you have here coordinated universal time, CUT, same thing as Zulu time or UTC. And then all we need to do is save. And that setting is going to hold. Okay, so just save that there. And now you can see that I have IST standing for Israel time and UTC standing for Zulu time. So wherever I am in the day, morning, afternoon, evening, I can quickly glance across to see I'm seven, about 730, 740 here local time. And that is 1640 approximately in Zulu. So I hope that's useful to you. If you use universal time, Zulu time in your day to day work, and you want to have an easy to access, you can either add it to the little world time zone widget, or you can add it as a secondary time zone in your Google calendar. Thank you guys for watching this video. And more videos are coming soon.


show for a Brit and babysitter me I have many titles We're on the way to my endoscopy should be interesting Still don't want to go looking forward to seeing you stoned Procedure is done at St. Anne Hospital. I keep forgetting that St. Anne even has a hospital but we're going to St. Anne Hospital and and You're gonna sedate me a little bit and Put a camera down into my stomach to see if we can figure out what's going on in there. I think I'm fine They want to check and make sure This sort of came from off the last couple of years it comes and goes there's like a Weird lump feeling in my back around where my right kidney would be but apparently my kidneys are fine Everything looks fine in there. They can't figure out what might be causing it and to be on the safe side We're gonna go and make sure it's nothing that I should be worried about Talk to people and say you feel like you have a lump people start getting nervous Yeah, I don't think it's I don't think it's I think it's I think it's muscles. That's what I think they are I think my muscles get tightened and I don't stretch properly all the time And I don't see a chiropractor enough and a massage therapist. Maybe it would help I think that's what it is. But you know, we got to make sure it's not the big one Very lucky to live in Canada because guess what we leave the hospital every time without a bill Yeah, we can go as many times as we want. We can go every single day I would not encourage that unless something's Don't be a hypochondriac, but it's great As it's flaws, but I just can't imagine like we have You know, we know several people in the US and they talk to us sometimes about medical bills and stuff And it's just such a foreign concept. It really is. I forget that it even exists and they're huge bills like huge I just don't understand how that's even an issue as a Canadian. I don't see how that could be a partisan thing or that how that could be Because we're all gonna be there. We're all gonna get old. It's not Just some of us. It's all of us And I love everybody's argument. You should see the taxes they pay Yeah, you do realize that that doesn't all go towards health care, right? Yeah, our taxes aren't that bad. Well, they're high. They're high Yeah, we could lower them in some places. That's we're working on that but we have peace of mind But i'm okay paying a little bit more to make sure that when I get old i'm taking care of Get older develop a health problem when you're young Yeah, or deliver a baby Yeah, we're gonna walk out of there without a bill. Yeah, you don't get a bill for delivering babies in Canada. That's ridiculous What in the world who would charge someone for having a baby bringing a new life into this world? I just gave you another future taxpayer, but you're gonna give me a bill. What? Yeah, we don't understand that but uh, I've never been to this hospital what it looks like It looks like a tiny little building It doesn't look like a hospital at all. It's more like a medical clinic. It looks like an old folks home Or pardon me a senior's complex. Is that what they're called now? I don't know When I was growing up they were called old folks home. Sorry. That's politically incorrect I don't think anyone cares about that one Are you sure? Oh someone will be offended So this is it medical center They call it a hospital. Yeah, st. Anne hospital This is where it happens Staff parking over there Yeah, I guess so Oh, I think the handy kids sign just up there Okay, all right. All right. This is different I parked on the street when I came or my sister parked on the street when she brought me here for a medical procedure Well, you're pregnant. You can park where you want Is that how that works? We get to park in the special spots at superstore in walmart now pink spots the pink spots for that barbecuing man spots Yeah I don't like parking up that close anyway because people always ding your doors then but it's nice to have the option She's feeling really tired or something.  It's not so much if I'm tired if it's icy out. I prefer a closer spot. Yeah, that's true I Winter scares me a little bit being pregnant But I'm just extra careful. I I take tiny little itty bitty old lady steps Oh Well I'll talk to you guys in a little bit. I'm gonna hand the camera to brit and see what she uh, see if she captures It'll be some stimulating entertainment ladies and gentlemen from this point on I am not responsible for anything that I say or do That's right. She's my she's my husband's hitter That's right Well, I just got the uh The message I'm doneer. I think it meant I'm done He's a little loopy right now Uh, yeah, so anyways josh's procedure is done. I don't know how long he'll have to stay there In recovery, but uh, yeah I ran to town Ran some errands got dog food got filled up a gas While he was in there It was a very short procedure. It was like I think it was like 20 minutes from the last time he messaged me till he messaged me that he was done So that's really good Oh, he's messaging some more. Let's see what strange things he's saying to me I yealin getib their camera ready Um something about getting the camera ready. Well, we're ready for him Took way too long to type that. Oh, that was all in English and proper grammar Excellent, okay Poor guy. I don't think josh has ever been under sedation of any kind or had an iv put in Um, he was sweating bullets apparently while they were putting in the iv Poor guy. I understand. I had my first ever procedure No wisdom teeth My third procedure was at this hospital and it was the most invasive I had ever had and I was I was pretty nervous. I don't think there's ever going to be a procedure that I would be not nervous for So I get it. I'm not really making fun of them. I get it. It's It's unnerving knowing that you're going to be sedated and vulnerable And something could go wrong with any kind of procedure. So But hopefully he'll be okay I'll let him sleep for the afternoon while I go to a dentist appointment and then um I'll wake him up because we're going to go see baby My 20 week ultrasound isn't quite complete. So at 21 weeks here We're going for the second part because baby stubborn curled up into a pretzel So we couldn't see his or her spine So round two of pictures Let's go get josh soon battle scars It went great more great actually the worst part for me was When after they put in the IV not during it, but it burnt a lot for some reason when they put the IV in And uh after the nurse left the little area that I was in I started started to sweat And then it got super nauseous for like two minutes I thought I was gonna throw up, but they have nothing in my stomach to throw up And then suddenly just like that My switch was turned off and I was fine. It just took a little while because they're running a little bit behind They said that they're catching up from all the endoscopies that were delayed due to covid So this is all this doctor was doing all day. He's doing eight to ten I think per day I feel fine now. It's been Half an hour a little loopy when I first woke up. I tried messaging her I wrote it out like 15 times. I couldn't write the sentence proper And the one I read to you guys he just thought nailed it Yeah What did I say? Where's my phone? Get a little getter I was saying that I'm done Get the camera ready because I was feeling just Whoo I thought it'd be really great footage because I thought it would last a while It didn't last very long by the time she came into the room like 10 minutes later. I was pretty much all It pretty much all worn off already and now I just feel slow But um, I'll slow to begin with so I'm like you had a couple too many beers the night before and you're just like yeah Yeah, almost like a hangover, but no pain. I don't have a headache or anything. It's just just the fuzziness It's just calm and chill home and watch tv and I'm not supposed to eat bad foods, but I don't know. We got some McDonald's I think you deserve a treat, but we got to make sure that You don't go to sleep for at least two hours after So the message I sent her Uh, I geel and get build Camera ready lol And I read that over like 15 times like over and over like yep, that's the one and I hit send Like that's I said took way too long to type that and then that was me But Didn't last long so uh, sorry guys. I thought that uh, I'll be a little more entertaining after that, but uh I was gonna open you with me too I I got some entertainment in the room while he was getting dressed. I got to watch him rip off the stickers the hard monitor stickers Okay, I got I could show you because I got a lot of chest here all of a sudden here's one there used to be hair there Not no more Add blood a little bit Can't imagine guys who wax their chests. It's definitely a 40 year old virgin moment. Yeah Too bad we were in hospital or else you could have screamed oh kelly Clarkson if I would have thought of it I totally would have that would have been hilarious That was pretty entertaining. Yeah, you've gotten really hairy but only since you started balding Yeah, I'm losing hair on my head. I need to cut my hair. You can see I'm losing hair on top of my head It's all moved down to my chest ever since that is just migrating. Yeah, I used to have just a little little puff of chest hair and then Well There's around the time when I started flat bedding. I'll grow hair on your chest I'm gonna head home to the dogs now grab some food and uh But we actually have a couple more appointments today and we have she has a dentist appointment I'm gonna hang out at home. I think and then she has uh Ultrasound and the way I'm feeling now. I think it'll be just fine for me to tag along and uh, they're gonna do a little uh The baby spine and then a little tour of the baby Yes, they couldn't get the picture of the spine last time So I gotta be home for this time and see the baby moving around and stuff Baby doesn't like mcdonald's I do but baby doesn't so Wendy's the one fast food restaurant that a burger restaurant that the baby likes My goodie pig all's a good boy You done did good you listen to your wife so You're in a treat and everyone including all of you in the comment section was right It's nothing to worry about don't even remember it I remember being rolled into the procedure room They put those uh like things in my nose Nose yeah, they smelled like rubber. We made a joke about it that I'll get used to it right away And then lights were out the next time I opened my eyes. I was back in the recovery room there I don't even have a source roll nothing It's it's fine I didn't die So that's good news good news. There'll be another vlog tomorrow I won't be able to go back to work till tomorrow afternoon at the earliest So, uh, I'll let dispatch know and see if they got something from sure they'll find something I might run out to kanora tonight and pick up in the morning But that's just one option and see what they have for me Since american Thanksgiving is on thursday We can't deliver anywhere in the u.s. On thursday, so I might just be staying in canada this week I was really hoping that that would be a lot more entertaining for you guys Because when brit got sedated for her egg retrieval during the IVF process I think they gave her a little bit of a different cocktail Probably a little bit more intense because it's more of an invasive procedure obviously than mine but uh It was such a strange experience.  That's just gone So they got me already. They got the IV hooked in I still got a little scar there I don't know if they did it a little rough or wrong, but uh, yeah, it burnt like I was saying it burnt going in and then I got real sweaty For some reason I started sweating like crazy. I got super nauseous. I thought I was gonna throw up I started dry heaving a little bit And then like two minutes later perfectly fine So I don't know what that was all about But that was the worst part of it And then uh, they got me ready. They got the IV drip going And then they wheeled me into the procedure room, right? And it's kind of crazy because you know, you're in this room all just with the doctor or the whatever the The he's not a surgeon. Is he a surgeon?  I don't even know if my eyes were closed Was I like staring blindly at the sea? I don't know what happened No idea After I said that it smells like rubber I can remember them sort of laughing about it and then I opened my eyes and I was in the recovery room And the nurse was there. Uh, she took out my IV Uh and uh And then suddenly brit was there. Oh, yeah, I sent brit a message. That's right. I woke up and first thing I did was I grabbed my phone I tried to message her because I was super loopy when I first woke up I said this is gonna be great footage, right?  This is gonna be awesome Bring the camera. I couldn't type it out and then I read I explained Explained it to you already. I read the sentence over and I'm like, yep That makes sense sent it And then I guess she started coming in and by the time they led her into the recovery room with me Uh, I was totally recovered already. I was pretty much like 90 percent just a little bit slow So and we can't film in there either. They have big signs all over the place. No cameras. No filming. So that's sort of that sort of uh messed up my My footage that I was hoping to get of myself all loopy I thought that for sure like that she came into the recovery room because sedation affects people differently and some people It affects a lot more afterwards And sometimes you got to get led back to the car. So you don't get lost or something I thought that's how I was going to be. I was kind of hoping that that's how I was going to be because We were going to get back to the car And it was going to make a great vlog No, apparently my body handles sedation very well And uh, yeah by the time we got to the car I was Almost perfectly normal So a little fuzzy that was kind of disappointing, but I guess good at the same time Yeah, that was my story It was uh It was very interesting my first time ever being sedated like that huh So as you could tell, uh, I wasn't allowed to drive for uh 24 hours after that So I was in the passenger seat, but I did tag along to the ultrasound later on that day that Afternoon and we got to see baby. We got to see him or her and moving around there kicking up a storm like crazy and uh Getting bigger and bigger I'm so excited Oh, yeah, that's another thing because when she first got into the room I guess I was a little bit out of it still but She wasn't allowed to film and uh, I was so happy as soon as I saw her walk around the corner and into my little area My recovery area there. I was all excited and I announced to the whole ward That's my wife and I point that or something.  Yeah, I'm like she's pregnant Ah Wish we could have gotten that on film at least but whatever rules or rules. Sorry. Sorry guys Uh, didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but that's I guess that's life At least we can go home without a bill, right? I wonder how much an endoscopy would cost For my friends down south. I'm always very fascinated by The way your healthcare works And we don't mean to criticize it at all like at the beginning of the vlog We're sort of like we're honestly confused and honestly blowing away like I don't understand Why it's like and why I don't understand why it's an issue people fight over and why it's an issue like the part like political Why is it political? We're all human We're all gonna get old so I don't understand that but don't take it as a criticism like that's your system That's the way you guys have it Uh, I would like to understand a little bit though because I hadn't in dusk be done They called it a gas gastropy. It's drop-a-pee. It's gastropy. I'm not a doctor. I'm a trucker Anyways, how much would that have cost in the u.s? Say, uh, you don't have any health insurance. Okay, I know that you guys have health insurance through your work A lot of it and some things are covered and some things aren't I'd say you're not insured for an endoscopy How much would that cost let me know down below in the comment section if you actually know Uh, if you're just guessing like just let me know you're guessing But if you actually know the answer, I'd like to have some honest answers. Maybe someone's in the medical field down there Uh, what would my bill have been when I went home without insurance? Because my bill was exactly zero and I know we all got to pay for it through our taxes I I know that but like I said earlier too, I'm okay paying it a little more because I'm gonna get old one day I'm a pretty healthy guy. I don't really have any big health issues right now But I'm getting older and one day Every single one of us is gonna get old and we're gonna develop problems and we're gonna need a doctor We're gonna need a hospital. We're gonna need treatment for one thing or another So I don't I feel It's a very patriotic thing like it's a it's it's the one thing that all canadians can agree on It doesn't matter if you're a conservative If you're a new democrat if you're a liberal if you're a people's party person If you're a kebac block kebecois person, whatever party you belong to There's one thing we all agree on is that We all want to take care of each other's health together I'll chip in a little bit. You'll chip in a little bit and hey when I get old I'll be taking care of right It doesn't cover everything. It's not it's definitely not perfect. There's there's a lot of flaws to it Like there is no perfect system out there, but I'm thankful for it. I am thankful for what we have We need more doctors. We need more nurses And we need constant improvements Everybody's got a little bit of a different idea of How to make it better that's that's sort of like the one thing because in you know, us you have two main parties right democrat republican in canada you have like Five I think you have the liberal party, which is in power right now Not not my party, but they're in power right now with minority government. They're in a coalition with the new democrats And then there's the conservative party And then there's there's the people's party So from left to right if you guys are political from left to right ndp liberal Conservative people's party and then block kebek was in there for some reason They're a separatist party that want to break apart the country and then the entire point of their existence is to break kebek off from canada That's a whole different story for a different day and a different channel I'm not a political channel So I'm just trying to explain to my american friends how it sort of works because there's a bunch of parties, right? They all agree on health care. No one's ever gonna touch that they all agree on that But they all do have their different ideas of how to make health care better In their in their view, right? It's one thing we can all come it's a very patriotic thing. It's one thing we can all come together on We're all gonna get sick one day and we're all gonna be there for each other Thanks for watching today listening to me rant You guys are all awesome and I'll see you in my next video


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're going to talk about the best carry gun that nobody talks about. And there are several great handguns out there that are not Glock, Beretta, CZ, Kanek, Taurus. You know there are some great handguns out there that nobody talks about. And I would be willing to bet that you forgot all about this one. It's a Walther PPQ subcompact. This is not the one I'm referring to in this video, but I just want to make the point that we've completely forgot about this. It has a three and a half inch barrel and it embodies everything the full-size PPQ has with only a 10-round magazine, two-finger contact, and that sweet Walther trigger that so many people love with the short reset. Same takedown, same overall feel, just a smaller handgun that you completely forgot about. Admit it to me people, admit it. Or how about this one? You may never even have seen this. It's a Grand Power Q100. And the smaller brother is the Q1S, which is the size of the PPQ subcompact. But I've been hearing all this stuff about the Rock Island 5.0 and how great that trigger is. And when I checked that out, I said I already have a handgun with that same trigger right there. It is so light with the reset right there, but it is so light. It doesn't even have a wall. It's got a little bit of an over travel. But the Q100, a great handgun, the Q1S just is fine. And nobody talks about it. How about this one? People used to talk about this one, the Bursa BP9CC. And once again, a very lightweight trigger pull with a short reset. Some of the Bursa models have some of the shortest resets right there that you have ever seen or felt. And the BP9CC came out the gate with is a hit, probably had to be 10 years ago. And I remember I said one day I'm going to get that. But the handgun I'm actually referring to that I consider the best carry gun that nobody talks about is right here. The IWI Masada 9S, otherwise known as the Masada Slim. And this is the ORP optic, I'm sorry. Yes, optic ready pistol. And it has a direct mount with an RMS footprint. Here I have a Hollison EP9 carry, excellent green dot, really is. But this embodies many of the features that people want in a carry gun. Let's start with the magazine comes with two 13 round magazines. They also make 10 round mags for the states that are less free. And it's slim because that grip now, if I compare it with the PPQ sub compact on the right, you'll see how slim the grip is on left with the Masada 9S. It's very slim. It's got some nice grip texturing on there. The magazine release on the left hand side can be switched over. It does have some forward slide serrations, taller sights and a great flat trigger that breaks right at five and a half pounds. And that's what you're looking at with a reset right there. Very short. 3.4 inch barrel. It's a great handgun and it shoots incredibly well. Now, people say, well, how much is it? I know I'm going to get that. How much is it? The MSRP on this is 450 bucks. And it offers a ton of gun for the money. Now, I have a lot of rounds through this and it has performed exceptionally well. Let's go ahead and check that out. So if you're looking for something that is not so mainstream like the Kanek line, which has grown incredibly strong or Glock that is always popular, people want the latest Glock, what they have to offer the Sig P365. This line has grown incredibly strong as well as the Springfield Armory Hellcat. What they've done with this has been incredible, but they're very popular. This one, the 9S is a little off mainstream. I don't want to say it's off the grid because I know there are a lot of people out there who own them. They love the trigger pull. They love the 13 round magazines, the direct optic mount, the taller sights, the reliability, easy disassemble. It just offers a lot for the money with an MSRP of $450. The 3.4 inch barrel, I've shot it enough to tell you with confidence, it's pretty reliable. And I want to know if you still own this and if you still talk about it because I think it's a great handgun. I love owning it. I love shooting it and I think it certainly performs well above what they're asking with the MSRP. If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe.


So the general election has come and gone, and upon reflection, it couldn't really have gone much better. Certainly from my perspective. The only thing better than what happened at this general election would be a for-Britain government. And I'm not quite ready for that yet. We have been waiting for this. I've been waiting for this. This is what we've wanted. This is what for-Britain has wanted. Stability and clarity. A stable, authoritative Tory government for five years. And I think that's what we're going to get. Boris Johnson swept the board. Congratulations to him. I'm not his biggest fan, but congratulations to him. Fantastic job and took really, really, gave Labour the kicking. It's so richly, richly deserved. There are seats in the North of England that went Tory, which shocked me. I mean, even Tony Blair herself's seat went Tory. So Labour got a kicking. And the British people have really resoundingly said no to Labour and to Corbyn and to that extreme left. Both economics and social progressivism. The British people have said, no, enough. We don't want you people. I suspect there may well be a civil war in Labour now. And I hope there is a civil war in Labour now. And I hope it ends them. And I hope that this is the end of the road for them because they deserve it to be the end of the road. They've completely torn their back on their own heartlands and they deserve to be wiped out for that. You can see the names being floated around for the next Labour leader. Thank God they learned nothing from it. Nothing at all. You've got names like Yvette Cooper. Yvette Cooper? I mean, this is the Blair Balls Brown year. She is just a symbol of that, isn't she? Jess Phillips has thrown her hat in the ring. But I think the force to declare her intention to stand for lead. And it'll be interesting. I mean, I'm very much, very much not a Jess Phillips fan. At least she's not boring. Corbyn is boring as well as being an extreme left nutcase. He is actually quite dull and dreary.  They're quite dull, aren't they? So anyway, we'll probably see a re-emergence of the Tony Blair Labour wing. And it'll probably go to war with the Corbynist wing, which is still very much there and still very powerful. And remember, momentum came along with the express intention and the express purpose of keeping Corbyn in power. And I suspect Corbynites in power. So we'll watch Labour implode now. And we have now got five years of stability minus some great catastrophe, which I don't think there will be. Five years of stability under Boris Johnson now. We didn't stand in this general election and we were right not to. It was the right decision. But let me tell you, we will be standing in the next one. This is where we wanted to clear on. We wanted five years to build to... And we've said what our plan is on this. You know, to me, things start now. The first two years of the existence of this party have been trying to put it into place. Trying to get the machinery in place. And my God, I can tell you it's a tough job. So the machinery is, we've got all our ducks in a row in that regard now. So it's time now for us to start looking towards the next general election where we will be standing candidates. Myself included. And the next five years now is our time to build towards that. And one of the ways we're going to build towards that is winning more council seats. And I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that we're going to win a couple more council seats come May. And then the momentum will be with us. But back to the general election. Labour in trouble. Good. They deserve it. UKIP pretty much... And I don't take... I'm not a person who enjoys other people's suffering actually. That's different from saying people deserve it. Labour deserve it. But it's not something... I don't jump up and down with excitement when someone loses their seat, for example. Politics is a very, very tough game with some big names fell. And UKIP is a casualty of this. UKIP, I think, were pretty much humiliated and wiped out. And I know people don't want to acknowledge it. But it's got to be the end of UKIP. We are entering now a post-Brexit phase. And Boris Johnson's victory is resounding victory. There are several messages in it. One is that we don't want to left. But the other is that people want Brexit done over and done with. They are so, so tired of hearing the word Brexit. Boris stuck to a clear, simple message.  It worked. It was a bit like Donald Trump and his Bill the Wall. It works. Clear, concise messaging works. But people are tired of Brexit. Absolutely tired of Brexit. And UKIP cannot survive in a post-Brexit world. And we are entering that post-Brexit world. Now, it doesn't have anything to offer. What does it have? What is the USP of UKIP now? It simply hasn't got a purpose now. And I don't take joy in that. It's an objective observation. The Brexit party, I mean Nigel Farage, he does not make the same mistakes over and over again. Nigel likes the game. He likes being in politics. He wants to be in politics. He likes being on TV. He likes all of that. And he wants to stay in politics. And I think his idea was to keep standing on a Boris isn't doing Brexit right platform. But the country is sick of Brexit and it won't work.  They're not going to listen for another 10 years to Nigel Farage banging on about every detail of Brexit not being right. It's not going to work. So I think that has finally sunk in with him. You don't name your party after a single issue and then say you're not a single issue party. He didn't, you know, Channel 4, I think, and I think everyone loves Channel 4, I know, but they held a, and it might not have been Channel 4, but somebody held a everything but Brexit debate and Nigel Farage didn't go. And I thought there's your opportunity to present yourself as not a single issue party and you don't take it. I mean, this is not great political judgment. So the Brexit party is gone. There is nothing left. And Nigel Farage, I hear he's going to go and work with Donald Trump in America and in next year's campaign. I don't know what he's going to do, but I don't see another party emerging out of Nigel Farage. I think I don't think he muster up the same passion about another issue that he did about the EU or even the same knowledge about another issue that he did about the EU. But the Brexit party is at an end now. Brexit is at an end now, but Boris is going to get this deal through Parliament and the country can move on. It's not the Brexit we all would have wanted, but that's to me, as I've said from the start, the European Union is the real problem here. There's no getting away from it. The only way to get away from it is to bring it down. So the Brexit party, that's that. That's that for Brexit party. We are back. We are back to Tory establishment, better than Labour establishment. And now there's only one emerging, serious emerging party that is anti-establishment and that is for Britain. And I'm hearing talk of people setting up a new party. Well, you know what? Good luck to them. Good luck. Quarterly returns to the Electoral Commission. I'll just leave it there. You need serious, stable, honest, reliable people to make a party get off the ground. It's not a minor job. It's a huge job. It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of commitment and it takes a lot of money. This is a really tough thing to do and I'm really proud that we've gotten through that infant phase and we're only getting bigger and better. So if people do want to start a party, good luck to them. I'm not going to make for Britain into some anti-Semitic woman-hating, gay-hating throwback party. So if that's what people are looking for, by all means, start your own party. You know, enjoy the hard work. Know that your message won't resonate with the majority of the British public. They want fair. They want reasonable. They don't like extreme politics on any side. So good luck. If that's what you want, go for it. If, however, you want a real party and someone, a party that has actually achieved the enormous... I won't come in these enormous, enormous obstacles of getting the first couple of years under our belt. We are the only now serious anti-establishment party because we made the right decisions. We made sure we weren't aligned with a single particular issue. We made sure that we were clear, consistent, precise and we stuck with our principles. We made sure we behaved correctly.  We still make sure we behave lawfully and correctly and do things the right way. I'm managed by Grace of God to get a very fantastic team of people around me who I trust, who are hard-working and reliable and who make sure that all the admin, all the bureaucracy is taken care of. But we've also got the right political message. We've got 50 branches active around the country and the message is right from us. It's just what the country needs. It's tough. It's fair. It's reasonable. It's not actually... Despite the line press, it's not actually an extreme position at all. We are pro-British. We are precise and clear and that's not going to change. And we're not going to start bending our principles. You know what you get with me. I am who I say I am. What you say is what you get. I don't have any hidden agendas. I am quite upfront and I'm not going to change. We're just going to grow and grow and grow from here. And I want to make an appeal now to Brexit Party members and UKIP members to come across. It is the end of the road for Brexit. And I think even Nigel Farage knows that he can't get any more capital out of Brexit. And I don't know what he's going to do, but I think that has finally sunk in. Single issue parties only walk until someone else takes that single issue away from you. It doesn't work. I don't care about a single issue. I care about several issues. And I think there are several serious, profoundly serious problems facing this country, which Boris Johnson, I don't mean to be, you know, to reign on the parade, but I don't believe that Boris Johnson is the answer to these things. The mass immigration will continue under Boris Johnson. He will be politically correct a bit of variety of different things. I guess I'm not his biggest fan. I don't dislike him either. I'm not his biggest fan, although I did find out today that he is a dog lover. And in all honesty, immediately the person goes up in my estimation when I find out they're a dog lover. But we're entering a new era now. Post-Brexit era. We have stability for five years under Boris Johnson. We have a Tory government, thank God, and not a Labour one. I happen to think actually that Labour would have banned for Britain had they got to power. Labour is imploding. I predict I've said this for a long, long time. Labour's days are numbered. They really are. They're going to be, they've learned absolutely nothing. They're going to go to war with themselves now. The two, I predict there could well be split coming in the Labour Party. So they're going to need, Labour needs, trouncing, Labour needs to be thrown out by someone. And you can see there are areas, Hartlepool, for example, where the combined vote between the Brexit Party and the Tory Party would have trounced Labour. And what that tells me is that there are more people on our side of politics in Hartlepool, and that's just one seat, than on Labour's side of politics. So people are ready, people are ready to get let go of Labour. We are ready to take Labour's place. We are putting the building blocks in place. We are building a solid foundation that is not a flash in the pan. We are building a foundation for good. We are here to stay. I am committed to this. I'm going to give my life to this. I have a team around me who are as committed as I am. Like I say, we've already got 50 branches up and running. We have an active party. We're going to be standing in May. I want people to think about what seats you want to stand in. January 11th is a meeting that I've talked about before, where we will launch our campaign for May and we will win seats. And our eye is on five years time. This is it now. This is the time we start building, but we need and want experienced people from the Brexit Party and from UKIP to come across. We are just starting out. We are fresh and enthusiastic. And we have lots of jobs that need filling. So if you're interested, do come over. It's hard to walk away. I know how hard it is to walk away. I was in the Labour Party for nearly 10 years.  But you've got to... I accepted that I needed to walk away from Labour because my conscience simply wouldn't allow me to stay in it any longer. And there comes a time when you've got to accept that change is here. Change is here. We're entering a new era now. It is the post-Brexit era. And parties identified solely with Brexit will not survive in the post-Brexit era. Forbidden is the only small party to have achieved major party status. And we did that in our first year. And I know that some parties, Democrats and veterans, time, another couple of small parties have formed over the last couple of years. None of them have achieved major party status at the Electoral Commission except us. There's something special here. We have the right policies. We have the right people. We have the right attitude. We have the right plan. We're not going to do this overnight. We have to do it with solid foundations in place and take our time. That's what we're doing. So come over, get on board. This is now the only anti-establishment option. As I say, some people do want to start another party. Like I say, if they want an anti-Semitic, anti-gay, anti-woman, let them have it. Nobody will want it. This is the party that's going to take away Labour's whatever grip it still has, whatever it has left. This is the one that's going to take it away. We're working class people. I come from a working class background. I know it's like to have nothing. I know what it's like to struggle. And I will relate to and communicate with the people who have been abandoned by this progressive open border, despicable, hard left, loony left, progressive Labour Party. It's done. It's over. It's just a matter now of tidying away the rest of the mess. And that's for Britain. That's our job. We are going to do it. I'm going nowhere. This is our fate, our destiny. The stars are aligning for us. Everything is working out for us very, very well indeed. It's going incredibly well. And I'm really, really proud. And I'm really excited about this upcoming five year period. And I'm excited about standing in the parliamentary general election coming up next. We've got a lot of time to prepare. Look, you know, I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again, but get on board. It's over. Brexit, it's over. It's time to move on now. And it's time to go after Labour. Finish it. To put Labour out of its misery. It's time. And I wish Boris Johnson Locke. I don't think he is going to be the answer to many of this country's problems. Like I said, I don't want to reign on the party. I don't want to be the miserable one. But he's not. But however, congratulations to him. Great victory over those not cases on the other side of the house. Big scalps fell. Chukka and Mona fell. Luciana Berger, what a mistake they made. And there's another point, by the way. Anna Subri is gone as well. There's another point. And I don't make this point often enough. Experienced MPs like Anna Subri, Chukka and Mona, Luciana Berger, broke away and formed their own party, Change UK. They couldn't even get a Twitter account. They couldn't even get it going on with their Twitter account. The design was appalling. They had the media behind them. And they couldn't manage to get themselves off the ground at all. So they couldn't. Luciana Berger, Chukka and Mona, Anna Subri, etc. Couldn't do what for Britain have done. Join us with the only answer now.


Yeah, here we go. First impressions of the Nike React Infinity Run Fly Knits. This is not my full review. You all know the drill. After 50 miles, we'll get you the full review. And that's a little tip of the day. Make sure the YouTube channels that are doing running shoe reviews that you're watching, that they are stating how many miles or kilometers they've put into the shoes before giving their first impressions or full reviews. For me, obviously first impression is right out of the box, like you saw inside the house. I'm going out for a three mile run to test these shoes out. But then the full reviews, I like to do 50 miles, some channels do 100 miles. Anyway, just a little tip, listen for that mileage or kilometer mark. Okay, here's the deal. I'm not a big React guy. I haven't run that much in React in the past as far as that midsole foam, but I'm listening to all of you. I think it was Twitter especially this time. Folks that just are interested in the shoe in 2020, the Nike React Infinity Run Flying It, little bit of a mouthful Nike, just so you know. And so I decided to pull the trigger and buy this and give it a shot. So that's where we're off to give it a run and onward and upward. Here we go. Infinity Run Flying It, first impression. Let's go break it down in the studio. Onward and upward, here we go. Welcome to the studio. And yes, new configuration in the studio just for tonight. The construction is still happening, not quite ready to reveal. I will reveal to you in tomorrow's blog as much as I get done tomorrow, okay? No matter what's done, because I can't, I just gotta show it to you guys. I think you're gonna like the new fresh look here in the studio. Okay, let's dive in to the Nike React Infinity Run Flying It. There it is on the wall. Here it is as well. It's a neutral road running shoe from Nike with some stability features built into the shoe. For example, what I already noticed and I confirmed it today after a little research inside, I confirmed it that the outsole is in fact a little wider than the Nike Epic React from 2019, the previous iteration of this shoe. And I noticed it immediately as I was going through the gate cycle today. So that's one feature that turns this neutral shoe into a stability-esque type shoe. In addition, this rubberized plastic, that's this gray bar, I think it's pink on the ladies' version. It wraps around the heel counter here, heel counter here, and it also provide the little more stability through your heel, okay? Now, let's dive into a couple of specs real quick. Nine millimeter drop, so 30 millimeter stack height in the heel, 21 in the forefoot, so that's a little more midsole foam compared to 2019. And a lot of people are already raving about that. Also 10.2 ounces or in men's size nine, 10.2 ounces and there it is in grams on your screen. So it did lose a little bit of weight from 2019 and probably why is because of the upper. This upper is supposed to be stronger, more durable, and yes, lighter. And frankly, I'm pretty excited, everybody. I'm pretty excited about this flying it right here through the toe box. I just feel and guess, you remember the shoes from 2019 that were scrunching up in the toe box for me? I'm not seeing any scrunching up through this toe box. I really appreciate that because when you get scrunching increases through the toe box, that's what can cause blisters on the top of your feet. No dice. So it's looking good. Okay, only drawback thus far is the collar of the shoe. It's that booty style collar. So what does that mean? It's basically a little more flimsy, a little more loosey-goosey. It's not as rigid as some other shoes on the market. I'm not excited. I'm not excited at all. In fact, I don't know what I'm gonna do to try and fix that moving forward because my ankle, now by the end of the three-mile run today, by the way, three miles, I think I was right about 830 a mile. There it is on your screen. Not, you know, just bopping along, having a good time out there in the sun. And I could, by the end of the run, I did forget about the collar issue, okay? Not a major issue, but I just prefer a little more lockdown around my ankle so that I know I'm not gonna fly out of the shoe, okay? All right, moving on to that midsole. Here we go with that React midsole foam. Yes, they added more midsole stack height from 2019 and I noticed it immediately. Definitely a more cushioned ride from 2019 and that's probably because they got a lot of feedback. I just didn't, I did not love the Epic React from 2019. It just felt a little too stiff. This did not. It was kind of spot-on, actually. The ride of the shoe felt very, very stabilized and comfortable and pretty smooth, but it just, yeah, it just, it was a nice, it wasn't too cushioned, not too much cushioned and just firm enough. So anyway, I really enjoyed the ride of the midsole. Okay, moving on to the outsole. Yes, they increased the rubber on the outsole by quite a bit. In fact, if you can look up pictures of the Epic React, like the midsole, or yeah, the midfoot basically doesn't have any of this external rubber that increases the durability of the shoe, increases the lifespan of the shoe. So again, I'm sure they listened to everybody, give them feedback saying, hey, this shoe is great, but it's breaking down really quickly. So I think it's a good update as far as the outsole goes on the Nike React Infinity Run flying it with that outsole there. And how will I use the React Infinity Run moving forward? It's definitely not a high performance shoe, okay? It's not designed to go fast. I would never take this out on a tempo day or a threshold day. It's just, gosh, why? I mean, it is light. It didn't feel snappy. I will say that much. Like it didn't feel snappy through the gate cycle. And at the end of the day, if I was to go 630 a mile or six minutes a mile in the shoe, I would feel so afraid that my heel would be popping out of the shoe. Like that's how much I'm just not, I'm just struggling with that collar of the shoe. So it's not, it's a nice, easy day shoe. You know what this is perfect for?  Okay, perfect shoe for that. I can tell, maybe it'll change by 50 miles. You stay tuned, but for now, that's what I'm sticking with with the React Infinity Run. Okay, two more quick points before we get to that question of the day, is that the price point is $160. Oh, that's a heartbreaker. I just don't see it, Nike. I'm thinking like 130, 135 at the most. I'm just like, that's a high price point in my opinion, especially if I'm gonna be using this for an easy day shoe. Maybe if you end up getting this shoe and you use it for faster workouts, let me know, I'll be curious to hear. And maybe I'll take it up to higher speeds in the next 50 miles. Okay, that's the price point. And then they did do, Nike did a cross comparison between the Nike Structure 22 and the Infinity Run. And I guess the Infinity Run injury rates were quite a bit lower, significantly lower than the Structure 22. So anyway, take that for what it is. It was a study done by Nike as far as reducing injuries. Question of the day, what is your go-to easy day shoe right now? And why? Okay, that's it. That's it. Thanks for watching this first impression of the Nike React Infinity Run. Flying it, okay? We shall see. Come back for that full review in about 47 miles. All right, everyone, we're gonna toss it back to the Nike Running Shoe Review playlist on the right. That'll be the square there on the right. And then on the left, we'll toss it back to the Zoomfly 3 full review from 2019. Thanks for watching. Thanks for being here. All right, see beauty, work hard, and love each other. See you tomorrow.
