So today guys, I'm going to guide you into how to solo the Merc Guard Elite Chests, meaning you can come here any time of the day, obviously it's once over 24 hours, and come up to Merc Guard, solo, and get 6, 7, possibly 8 Elite Chests. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and to give it back to you guys, I'm giving away 10,000 marks of fortune. To be the chancellor of winning these, simply drop a like on this video, leave a comment down below, make sure you are subscribed and have those, notifications turned on. When this will be picked from my comments section, so the more of my videos you support me on, the more of a chance you have of all winning. Okay so most people know of the Merc Guard Chests run, the Elite Chests run, but I think there's a possible 6, 7, 8, I'm not sure exactly how many is here, but there's a few, and obviously Elite Chests drop that geeeeeeach, is what we all want, and today, for the solo players out there, or if you're just online solo, nobody else is making the run, doing the Merc Guard run, you can come here solo and get every single chest, and it's relatively quite straightforward, I mean there's a couple of tricky jumping spots, but besides that, it's straightforward. So obviously guys, you need to make your way to Merc Guard, as you can see on the screen now. So yes, come right here, a mountain or map post, or you've got the old Merc Guard shrine here, and this is how all the area will be exploring together those Elite Chests. But yeah, it's relatively straightforward, like I said, there's one thing I need you to do, and that is to be using a fire staff, which is very, very important also, and I'll explain one in a second, but first of all, obviously you want to drop a campfire, down here activate one of these campfires as your spawn point, because obviously if you die, you want to respawn relatively close to where the Elite Chests are, but you need the fire chest, fire staff, and you need to be using burnout. Now this is obviously that dashboard, and it's very important when we're skipping rooftops. I think the great acts would probably work as well, also the rapier, when you slash forward, can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, but once you're here, and you've got your fire staff ready with that burnout on, this is what you need to do. So come up this way. Now this is a video I've pre-recorded and edited to cut out the mistakes I've made, I've made quite a few mistakes trying to record this, dropping, failing, and died a couple times, but once I got to run straight down, it was perfectly fine. So come up to here, you want to edge your left, right to the end, then you want to aim for this point, right here. So jump onto that, and then just basically jump over. You aim for that pillow, or that plank right here. So yes, just walk straight to the edge, and then you want to turn right here, and just jump down here. Now like I said, this is actually probably the trickiest one at the entire set here. Now what I will say is you won't be able to get the portal chest here, obviously you can't solo those portals, I mean obviously we could but it's impossible now, especially I had made things harder, but if a team has run this, well just before you got here, the good chance this chest will be here for you to grab. So obviously you can't get the portal chest, and because of this, the very very last chest here, where the priest is I believe, you can't get that chest either. So this is what you want to do, the chest is literally on the other side of these things. Now obviously you want to grab the attention to grow these two enemies right here. The main guy with the sword is the one you want to worry about. Now once he starts swinging that sword, he does have actually like a cooldown to him. So when he starts pointing like that, that's when his cooldown starts, that's when you want to quickly run and grab the elite chest. Now this is actually made the mistake, I left it a little too late before he pointed. When he points, as soon as he points, you need to run grab the chest and the jump down. So you saw that little slight cut there, that's where I failed. Now if you fail jumping onto the roof, just quickly run through here and run straight out. That's what you're going to do anyway, you're going to run straight back out.  So yeah, like I said, a lot of the big guys that we will be interacting with in this video to try and get these elite chests, they do have kind of like you aggro them, then you want to hide, then they obviously lose aggro on you, they do like a slight animation and they have a quick cooldown for about between 5 and 10 seconds ish. That's the time to grab that elite chest, it is as simple as that. Now explain further as we get on and go on to the other enemies. So you want to jump back up here guys, do the exact same thing again, but this time you want to go left instead of jumping straight over, so aim for that corner again, right like that, and then just run left, you don't fall off and you want to jump to this far plank right here, right here. So yeah, go to the end, go left this time and jump across, and there we have it. Now you want to jump up to this wall right here, don't matter if you don't make that, you can jump straight back up. Now no one noticed this skip here, I skipped here because I actually come forward and I tried to fight with a group player to get the portal, but we failed and I died, so yeah, you know. So this is where that burnout, well firstly, comes out for, so you need to skip to this roof here, and that is where the portal is right there. So we're going to try and avoid that, we'll explain in a second, so you want to skip across here, so you land on this roof. Now the portal, so like I said, there's most of the time probably going to be still active, so you obviously want to avoid them as best you can, and to do that within this spot, because you need to get past it, you need to follow this route up onto these rocks, and also jump up on here, jump up there, and then run across. Now this, well actually, this is not tricky at all, it's not tricky at all, so you just want to jump across here. Now there's two chests there, which I mean they're tempting, I just don't think they're worth your time, I mean, I mean you can get them, it's not hard, you can get them probably make your way around, because you need to come around this left side here, the way we're going, but there's a few enemies down there, which could get you into a little bit above her. So you want to follow this one, obviously the portal's out, and I right, want to try and avoid that best we can. Let's jump over that and drop down here, just to be safe, because you know what, them dudes get done for, he's that big door there, that big gateway, that's where we got ahead too, so we need to literally stick left, as long as we avoid that dude there, stick left, follow the way around, follow the path, stick close to these houses, and we are good to go, we are good to go. Now it's probably been a little too cautious here, you don't need to be this close to the houses, but you know, just making sure, just making sure. So you will have, grab the aggro of a couple enemies here, which shouldn't be a problem, just run straight past them, I mean you'll probably get clapped by one of them, or two of them, but you shouldn't have too much of a problem here, obviously make sure you have them potions, them health we change, you know, there's a woman here, well I think it's a pooster, so I'm not too sure, but just avoid her, avoid her, let's float these stairs, just fly up these stairs people, use that banner and jump onto this roof, right here to where we're at.


The American Express Aspire Award honors three strong and powerful women that are changing the landscape of their communities. In Brooklyn, New York, Sue Milena then is the president and founder of Preserving East New York, a bilingual preservation and advocacy group. She's also the preservation manager of Weeksville Heritage Center. The mission of Preserving East New York is to protect culture and historic structures through landmarking East New York. They focus on educating underrepresented citizens about the importance of their voice within preservation. Sue Milena engages fellow New Yorkers through stands at local farmers markets, bilingual tours in her neighborhood, and heart-bombing actions that show community love for local landmarks. Through her tireless advocacy and preservation, Sue Milena is actively providing a space for people of color to join the conversation. She is changing the narrative and communities that have long been stigmatized by the media and outsiders. In Illinois, Allison Tunen-Talamo advocates tirelessly for the preservation and improvement of historic structures. A first-generation Mexican-American professional, Allison has used her personal history to advocate, energize, and improve communities impacted by development. Ringing her knowledge of engineering, Allison played a pivotal role in preserving the National Landmarked Board Trimotor Hanger in Lansing, Illinois. This led to increased foot traffic and awareness to the smaller and underserved communities near Chicago. It is now a point of pride for the Lansing community. Allison is also engaging and educating young people to join the preservationist community through her role as chair of the Landmarks Illinois Skyline Council, which is building the next generation of leaders working in the built environment. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, Melissa Mordemer works as a historic preservation planner. Leveraging over a million dollars in state and federal grant funds, she was able to restore and transform many important buildings, including the famous historic Ria County Courthouse. Alongside the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Park Service, she works to interpret and preserve the Cherokee removal, which is part of the Trail of Tears. Melissa noticed a lack of awareness and education in preservation in Chattanooga. To fill this void, she organized Preservation Chattanooga, a new program of cornerstones which offers workshops and basic restoration techniques. Melissa formed a restoration and consulting LLC, founded a youth preservationist group and harnesses the power of social media to reach and educate folks in her community. She is empowering them to participate in local preservation efforts. Through their expertise in engineering, city planning and advocacy, these three women are emerging leaders who are changing the landscape of preservation and creating a new future. Thank you so much, the National Trust, in recognizing my work with preserving East New York. Getting this recognition is important to me because it's about changing the narrative of East New York. We focus on the love, the passion, the work of the community into moving this neighborhood forward. We use preservation as a tool not to just save buildings, but preservation for us is about saving communities because black and brown communities matter. And before we say that buildings matter, black lives matter. I would like to humbly, graciously thank the National Trust for giving opportunities such as these for individuals to projects and letting us shine and having a voice to speak up. It is important work. Those of us in preservation are the gatekeepers of our history. Ensuring the stories connected to our built environment are told. I would love to thank my family, especially my mom, for always being by my side throughout these adventures in my career and my education. And I would especially like to thank all my mentors who have molded me, challenged me, educated me and provided me the guidance necessary to become the person I am today. Thank you. I'm so honored to be one of the recipients of this year's American Express Aspire Award, especially that I get to share it with two other amazing women. I love that someone in Southeast Tennessee like myself can share an award with people doing great things in Chicago and New York. It just goes to show with preservation. Every place has its story. Every building has its story. So at the end of the day, as long as I can just have someone have a different outlook or notice a building on their commute that they didn't know before, I consider it a win. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. Thank you so much.


So Lucia Guobasanjo has tasked the incoming administration to do everything possible to end ethnic divisions caused by the general elections. Obasanjo said that soon to be inaugurated government must work hard to facilitate national moral re-amament and reconciliation. Obasanjo also noted that he was too old to keep quiet with the challenges facing the country and will continue to speak. Even what we saw during the elections, and you guys now even more divided and more corroded than we thought, this place is a deep onus on any administration following the current one, to urgently facilitate the process of national moral re-amament and national reconciliation. That the potential to enhance healing for grieved and bereaved persons across Nigeria and to assuage the youth. This must be done in sync with the imperative of national value reorientation that Nigeria requires to build a collective sense of enduring and noble values and national bill.


After a nine-year-long occupation, French troops have completed their withdrawal from Mali. Mass demonstrations calling for removal of French troops from Mali have been recurring, especially since 2020, often mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people. In February this year, when French President Emmanuel Macron announced that French forces would withdraw in the next four to six months, celebrations broke out across the country. On February 19, slogans rang across the Independence Square of Mali's capital, Bamako, saying down with France, down with imperialism. For nearly a decade, France had been leading counter-insurgency operations in Mali. Its troops entered the country in 2013 under Operation Serval to clear Islamist armed groups whose presence had been growing in Mali. France threw its weight behind the Tuareg separatist movement called the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad, hoping to countervail Al-Qaeda in Maghreb. But the Tuareg movement soon joined hands with Al-Qaeda. The troops stayed on as the mission evolved in 2014 into Operation Barkhane. This mission had an expanded mandate to build up the Malian army and stabilize the region. Troops from Canada and 14 European countries were also enlisted over the years. Under Operation Barkhane, France had over 5,000 troops stationed in the country. Throughout this period under French leadership, incidents of violence only increased from 115 events in 2014 to 1,007 in 2021. Violence also spread to neighboring countries of the Sahel region. French forces in Mali have also earned a reputation for ruthless use of aerial power that has resulted in countless civilian casualties. For instance, on January 3rd, 2021, in the village of Bonti in the central Mopti region of Mali, a French drone strike killed 19 civilians who were part of a wedding party. France said they were targeting terrorists, but an investigation by the UN found that the French drone fired at a marriage celebration attended by about 100 people, which might have included five armed persons. In these nine years, France has little to show insecurity gains for all the violence that occurred under its occupation. As a result, France and its Western allies have lost credibility in the region. By waging a war on Libya in 2011, France along with NATO has been accused of creating the very menace of Islamist insurgencies it came to Mali to counter. It was in this context that protests against the presence of French armed troops first broke out in 2020. These protests were also against the corrupt French-backed government of then-Mali President Ibrahim Bubakar Keeta. They were led by the M5 RFP movement, which is a coalition of Mali's unions, opposition parties, religious leaders and social movements. In August 2020, a military coup ousted Keeta. After a second coup in 2021, Colonel Asimi Goethe consolidated power and became interim president. His administration has moved away from dependency on France and explored security partnerships with other powers, mainly Russia and Turkey. Regional and global groups along with corporate media have called the coups anti-democratic and demanded the reinstatement of the civilian leaders who the people were protesting against. But the soldiers who staged the coup have said that their actions were to end the suffering of Malians and that they will relinquish power as soon as credible elections can be held. According to observers, meaningful elections can only be held by next year after making adequate security preparations and holding political dialogues to secure peace between various groups. It is widely recognized by the people of Mali that the French don't actually care for democracy in their country or about strengthening their security against religious extremism. The real interest of the imperialist powers is only in controlling Mali's wealth of gold, uranium and other precious resources. Marjalaam was raised about the future of the fight against terrorism in the region when the initial announcement about the withdrawal of French troops was made in February. Mali's government had issued a communique stating that the fight would not have been necessary if the NATO had not intervened in Libya in 2011. This intervention, which fundamentally changed the security situation in the region and in which France played an active role to the great displeasure of the Africans is the root of the current security problems in Mali in particular and in the Sahel in general. The government also said it has taken steps to strengthen Mali's armed forces and diversify its security partnerships particularly for creating conditions conducive enough to hold elections. While French troops may have left Mali, they will still remain in the Sahel region. Much of the troops have been relocated to Niyame, which is the capital city of the neighboring country Niger. Some are also now in Burkina Faso and Chad. A total of 2,500 troops will remain in the region along with fighter jets, drones, helicopters, etc. According to Macron, the troops are being relocated to countries which want French assistance in their security operations. But it is only eager governments disconnected from the strong anti-French sentiment in their population who have approved this. Both Niger and Burkina Faso have seen protests against French military presence. In January, in the backdrop of these protests, Burkina Faso also saw a popularly supported military coup. My call Zodi, one of the leaders of the protest movement in Niger, has warned that the redeployment of troops in their territory is unacceptable and that the citizens will treat the French as an occupying force.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. US, UK and France launched airstrikes in Syria on the 13th of April, targeting what they called Sites of Chemical Weapons Manufacturing. About 100 or so missiles were launched and these strikes have been supported by NATO as well. So to discuss the situation in Syria and the international escalating tensions we have with us today, Prabhi Purkayasa, the editor-in-chief of NewsClick. So Prabhi, the first question is that what really, you know, what is the situation we are heading to today, heading to after these strikes, are we getting closer to a war? Well, you know, this is the difficult question today because obviously airstrikes in Syria against which Russians have already given warnings that they will take action, they will respond, means that we are getting into uncharted territory. This is probably shall we say the most fraught confrontation between two major nuclear powers, United States and Russia in the world, probably after the Cuban blockade which is where the earlier nuclear standoff had taken place. This is the most dangerous point in human history because if it escalates into war between NATO and US, NATO and Russia, China and Iran, NATO on one side, the US on that side and Russia, China and Iran, we are obviously close to a global shall we say end of civilization. So I think we are into a very, very difficult situation as of now. Important part of it is that it does appear that back channel discussions did take place to limit the number of strikes, to limit the areas to be struck and therefore not targeting areas where the Russian forces could be there and Russian soldiers installations could be hit. I think that is one thing that seemed to have negotiated. The second is it is also a very limited strike. We had about 59 missiles hit one of the targets about six or eight months back. This time it is about 100. That seems to be the number that we are seeing and they have also hit limited targets. There are two strikes in homes which is one of the places where they have been arguing there are chemical facilities again completely unproven and the second is near Damascus where again they have argued that the Ghouta strike could have originated from there. So these are the three sites which seem to have been hit. The missile seemed to have come from Mediterranean where the US NATO forces are there. It seems from two ships over there also from Al-Tanaf which is as you know within Syria and it is under US troops occupation NATO occupation. And in fact that is also the other illegal part of it that Syria has not invited them to be there. The US troops are there and why they are there and what authority they are there is open to question. So I think we are seeing a very dangerous escalation but at the moment held back by the fear that it could turn into a general war and therefore both sides at least are limiting the aggression that they are showing. Other part of it I think which is important is that what was not attacked. The Russian air base and Hameem was not attacked the Tartus naval base was not attacked and these are protected with the S 300, S 400 missile intercepted interception systems. So that also seems to have given the NATO forces post that they should not go beyond the point. Then the ones that have been launched a number of them according to Russian sources have been intercepted and this is really using relatively older S 125, S 200 air defense installations that Syrian air force has. So there how many have got through what has been the damage how many people have died are all open to question. Is this just some saber rattling is it sort of trying to make Trump look good for a domestic audience is it something which is to distract attention from the crisis that for instance Netanyahu has in Israel, Trump has in the United States, there is a may be having over there. These are all open questions what's the purpose of the strikes when obviously there is not much of a military purpose as we can see now. Will they escalate further will there be more strikes we don't know at the moment. So I think it's still a wait and watch kind of scenario. What we do see is I think two major escalations which have taken place one is no attempt to get to the base of what the issue was was there really a chemical weapons attack in Guta. Is it true that it was there was an incident chemical weapons incident or release of chemical shall we say gases chlorine sarin all of this are being claimed in Guta or was it a complete manufactured incident A. B if some attack did take place or some release of toxic gases did take place was it because there are also chlorine factories toxic gases factories within the rebels had levels in this case Al Qaeda against whom the United States itself has released advisory saying that for instance in Lib rebels are known to have chemical weapons the US citizens must take precautions shouldn't go to these places shouldn't go to Syria they have also admitted that rebels have been Aleppo for instance use chemical weapons. So having said that why would they decide that they this is entirely a Syrian government operation is not clear OPCW has not investigated this. So there again those kind of issues are there in fact inspectors are supposed to be in Guta just about to be there. So why was this preemptive strike as it were done. So international opinion or international sanction United Nations has not taken a decision. So this is an illegal act of war by what is declared as what is a legal act what is an illegal act. So this is illegal act of war if you look at the domestic laws the US general deposing in front of the congressional committee claimed it was to protect US forces in Syria. Now US forces in Syria are there illegally anyway. So how is that a justification is not clear. The second is what Theresa May did not do Theresa May did not go to parliament and seek approval. So this is again a unilateral decision by the governments without consulting the Congress in the United States or the parliament in the UK of UK. So these are I think violations of domestic laws violation of international laws because this is obviously an act of war by any reckoning the fact it is not spiraled into a bigger confrontation right now is something that that's just as I said does not change the basic illegality of the act. Can it be contained. We have to see. What has been the response of the global community to these strikes now NATO as a whole has not participated in the strike it is really three countries which has participated in the strike. The fact is the global opinion given the fact this is a it's not a bilateral issue it's not an issue between five countries it's or six countries it is really something that confronts the entire globe. The nuclear exchange means the end of human civilization compared to that we seem to be extremely passive the global community all the countries the global media they're all passively reporting this is what the US says Russia does not agree this is what they are going to say and the complete shall be say silence or the consequences of this. So this is I think an unusual situation where the global community as nations seem to be extremely passive and all of us seven billion of humanity who face extinction if a nuclear exchange takes place are also quiet this is very unlike for instance what happened before the Iraq war but there was a massive protest all across the globe about the war in Iraq and said hands of Iraq of course it did go down completely after the invasion took place but nevertheless there was a protest we are entering into a situation where any propaganda by the West is taken as de facto as the truth there is no attempt to investigate that no contrary views are entertained and you have a complete resonance within the global big players in the media that whatever the United States the UK or the NATO powers say is the truth and no evidence needs to be produced. Yeah everyone seems to have accepted that there were chemical attacks in Syria and so the reasoning of these attacks is correct. That it needs to be checked this is true and the second that we shouldn't so cavalierly marching into a situation which can lead to global war this is completely unthinkable and as you can see even countries like India are actually keeping quiet as if it is something it doesn't concern them. So this is the to me the irony of the situation that something that should concern all of us we are so shall be say passive about it so quiescent about it completely complicit with our silence as it were and that I think is something deeply worrying to all of us who at least think that the global community should be much more active in preventing wars. So thank you for joining us in this discussion thank you for watching this click.

Thank you, Sonya. It's wonderful to be back in Brampton, but like she mentioned, we're all thinking of those affected by this horrible heartbreaking tragic fire on Conestoga Drive. I want to thank first responders for their tireless efforts, and our thoughts are with friends, family, and loved ones as always. So glad to be here in Brampton today with Deputy Prime Minister Freeland, Ministers Gould, Hussain Kera, and Alhabra, and so many members of our outstanding Liberal team here in Ontario. And it's always great to be making big announcements for Ontario families alongside Premier Ford. Doug, it's so good that we're again together today to make this big announcement. Thank you to Minister Leche and others as well. We're also joined by Okosua Mathews, the Vice-Chair of the YMCA Greater Toronto Board of Directors, and a lot of amazing people from here at the YMCA, to families and kids, to extraordinary childcare advocates and activists who are very, very pleased to see this happening today, as we are all with such great news for families. We know kids deserve the best start in life, and parents, especially moms, shouldn't have to choose between family or a career. A year ago, we said we would build a national system to make childcare more affordable and accessible everywhere in Canada, and today, we continue to deliver on that promise. We have reached a multi-year agreement with Ontario that will cut fees by an average of 25 percent, and parents will start seeing savings across Ontario in the coming weeks, and cut fees in half on average by the end of this year, savings per child of about, by the end of 2022, of an average of about $6,000 a year. That is real money for families at a time where we know costs of living continue to go up, the situation in Ukraine, the coming out of COVID, the challenges that our economies are facing means this is real money that will stay in the pockets of families this year to help with everything else. We're going to meet our $10 a day target in four years, and at the same time, create 86,000 new spaces by the end of 2026 across Ontario. I know Ontario parents have been wondering for a while when this was going to happen, but we worked hard to get this deal done because you deserve affordable childcare, like all Canadian parents. For the Ontario families, the hearing is going to make a real difference. It's more money in your pockets for the groceries, for the essence. Canadians can count on our governments to continue to deliver on that promise. Now, including Ontario, we've reached childcare agreements with all provinces and territories across the country. This means that Canadians, all Canadian families, from coast to coast to coast, will benefit from quality, early learning, accessible, affordable childcare, which is a historic moment for parents, for kids, for families, but also for businesses across the country. We know the economic growth that is unlocked when moms no longer have to choose between having a family or advancing their career. It's a benefit not just to families, not just to kids, but to all of us, and that's what's so exciting. And I want to thank Deputy Prime Minister Freeland for putting it in last year's budget and making it a reality alongside Ministers Gould and Hussain Ahmed. You negotiated the first ones. Karina, you brought it home in some very tricky negotiations, but we are here now being able to say that childcare is becoming a reality for all Canadians right across the country. In less than 12 months, we went from not having national childcare towards being on the road toward it. And lots of work still to do to make sure we're following up and getting that $10 a day. A reality within five years right across the country that we're reducing fees, that we're encouraging more early childhood educators to step up with better pay, better supports, better recognition of the extraordinary job they do, but this is the track we are finally on. Accessible high quality childcare is key to building a stronger future, a more resilient economy, and growing the middle class. I think of all the families and parents I've met across the country who told me how badly they needed more accessible, more affordable childcare. Many families across the country are already seeing significant savings, and now families in Ontario are facing extremely high costs. We'll see them very soon. This is real positive change, and our government will keep working to make sure everyone has what they need to succeed. With today's announcement, we continue to build a strong economic recovery for all Canadians. In less than 12 months, we've signed agreements with all provinces and territories for affordable and accessible childcare across the country, and more so that families don't have to wait for so long on waiting lists. We'll always be there for families and make the middle class grow. Together we're building a strong future for all Canadians.


The weird circle. In this cave, by the restless sea, we are met to call from out the past, storage, strange, and weird. Bellkeeper, pull the bell, so all may know we are gathered again in the weird circle. Phantoms of a world gone by speak again their immortal tale, the man without a country. Officer in the pay of the United States Army. I have so many memories of Philip Nolan. I think I was the only friend he ever had. I think I was the only man who really knew him during his whole incredible lifetime. I knew what he suffered when his boy's dream turned into a living nightmare, and it all started so innocently. Philip Nolan was 20 years old or so, and it conceived a bad case of hero worship for Aaron Burr. Burr. Philip and I were stationed together at camp. We were in the Legion of the West, and it was then, in the year 1805, that we had become close friends. I remember one particular evening that Philip and I were strolling down the barracks together. Philip was excited. Burr will be here, here at this camp tonight, and I've permission to see him. That's a man for you, Hale, a real man. You know what they say about him? He's going to break away from the United States, and he's got an army behind him, an empire before him. Conquer Mexico. You know what? When Aaron Burr and follow him straight to hell if it were necessary, I wonder if I could enlist with him. I'll ask him tonight. That's what I'll do, tonight. That was a great day for poor Nolan. As soon as Burr arrived, he sent for Nolan. Nolan responded immediately, and he ran from barracks all the way to the great man's room. He knocked on the door, and in a frenzy of impatience, waited. He didn't know it then, but he was waiting for a living death. A living death. Mr. Nolan. Well, sir, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Mr. Burr, I've... I've written you repeatedly, time and time again. I thought when you didn't answer you'd forgotten me. Forgotten you? Indeed, no. Come in, boy. No, I haven't forgotten you. Nolan, I need you. I've some great plans for you. For me, Mr. Burr? Plans for me? Yes, indeed. Sir, sir, is it true what they say? Well, Nolan, that depends on what they say. You can tell me that. You, uh, you're starting a new army. You're out for empire to set yourself up over Mexico. Ah! So they've gathered that much, have they? Well, Nolan, don't spread that rumor around. But between you and me... You and me? Oh, Mr. Burr, I... Sir... Nolan, you're a good man. How'd you like to take me out in your skiff and show me the cane break or a cottonwood tree? I've always been interested in the terrain in these parts. Interested? Is this terrain part of your plan too, Mr. Burr? Well, we'll talk about that in your skiff. Time enough out there, Nolan. Yes. There was time enough to talk about a lot of things in the skiff. By the time that sale was over, poor Nolan was enlisted in Aaron Burr's scheme, Body and Soul. What that scheme was, I never knew. Not as anybody else. But that's not important now. And every man of that group was arrested. Nolan was tried for treason. The big fellows, the ring leaders, escaped. But not Nolan. Nolan was taken before a military court. Old Colonel Morgan was presiding. Hours had passed. And the evidence against Nolan was piling up. His own commanding officer was saying...  Mr. Nolan, can you deny that you agreed to march anywhere at any time under the command of the traitor Aaron Burr? Even if he had commanded you to march against your own country? To march against the United States? No. I don't deny it. Mr. Nolan, as presiding judge, I want to ask one question before the gentlemen of this court will judge you.  Can you prove that you have always been faithful to the United States of America? Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again! Yes.  He had no way of realizing the consequences. I'm not trying to justify Nolan. I'm just saying that the United States wasn't a reality to him. The only thing he cared about was Burr. Aaron Burr.  Old Colonel Morgan called the court into his private chamber and returned in 15 minutes with a face white as a sheet. He just stood and stared at Nolan. Then, with his voice quaking... Philip Nolan, hear the sentence. The court has decided, subject to the approval of the president, Mr. Jefferson, that you never hear the name of the United States again. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Mr. Marshall, take the prisoner to New Orleans in an armed boat and deliver him to Captain Shaw of the Nautilus. See that no one mentions the name of the United States to the prisoner. Make my respects to Captain Shaw and request him to carry out my orders. He will receive written orders from Washington to explain this in detail. The court is adjourned. I don't care, Colonel Morgan.  I'd say the same thing over and over again. Damn the United States! Nolan was taken to New Orleans and placed on board the Nautilus. The ship set out for sea and traveled from New Orleans to the North American coast. It was at dock there that Captain Shaw received intelligence of the proceedings by mail. On board ship that evening, they were docked in the harbor. Captain Shaw explained it to Nolan. Nolan was still the swaggering youngster then as the old Captain related. Well, Mr. Nolan, the word has come through from your former country's capital. From Washington? Yes, Mr. Nolan. What is the happy word?  Without a country? The court has sentenced you to have your wish fulfilled. You will never hear of your country again.  You may wear whatever uniform you wish. Naturally, my own uniform. The buttons will have to be changed for plain buttons. Why is that, sir? There is the insignia of your ex-country on the buttons. What? I see. You will remain under guard, of course, to prevent your escape. Naturally. But otherwise, you will have the freedom of the ship and believe me, Mr. Nolan, you will not be exposed to any kind of indignity. Thank you, Captain. Thank you. And so it was that the man without a country sailed the Seven Seas. He never stayed on one boat for more than a year. He went from ship to ship. And it was ten years later that he was again shipping out on the Nautilus. He was shipping out of England this time. And I'd been sent over from America to England for special research. I was to come back on board the Nautilus myself. And so, of course, the very first day at sea, I was called into the captain's cabin. Hello, Lieutenant Hale. Won't you come in? Thank you, Captain Sean. Sit down, sir. Thank you. I called you into my cabin to talk to you about Philip Nolan. You no doubt know he's on board with us this trip? Yes, I've been told. He's an old friend of yours, I believe. Well, yes, we were in the Western Legion together. You know the story. Are they still maintaining silence, Captain? I'm afraid so. And as long as you're on board my boat, please never mention the United States to Nolan. No news of home, no talk about old times, no word of his family, and especially no word of the United States. Well, of course, sir. Whatever you say. And, uh, Mr. Hale, be prepared for a shock when you see Nolan. He's changed. He's changed a lot more than you realize. Changed? Yes. The captain warned me. But I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Nolan was an old man. An old man. An old man at 32. He was standing with a guard at the railing of the Nautilus when I approached him. He wheeled around and stared at me for a moment. Hale. Hale, old boy. It's good to see you. I didn't know. I had no idea. Philip, hello. It's been a long time. Oh, it's all right, guard. You can leave me alone with Hale. I want to escape. I'll take full responsibility for him. I'll report to the captain. Hale. Look at me. I'm still your old friend. Am I not? Of course, Philip. Where have you been? What have you done since I last saw you? I, uh... I traveled around. Been in England. What happened after you left the Western Legion? Well, I, uh... I... You what? I... I've read a lot of good books. Books? That's just great. You too, Hale. I can't help it, Philip. Have you any idea what I'm going through? From boat to boat, always being shifted. Always under guard. Every book I read is carefully edited. Whole passages are torn out of it. I never eat dinner at one table. I'm shifted around all the time. Nobody can stand my company night after night. I've so little to talk about. And I'm... I'm so hungry for home. So hungry for news of home. My family, my country, Hale. I want to touch the ground. The land. I want to know what happened to Texas. What do they do to Aaron Burr? Hale, ten years of this. Ten years. I was just a boy. I didn't know what I was saying. I didn't know. Please, Philip, please. I'm sorry. Seeing you again. And you're the only person who knows I feel this way. I won't mention it again. I know you won't, Philip. Don't tell anybody. You won't tell anybody. Well, of course I won't. Four o'clock. I have a little duty to perform it for. What's that, Philip? I read two of them. They like it. The only thing I'm allowed to do for them. They pick the book and I read a chapter or so. That sounds interesting. You mind if I come along? Not at all. We'll go down this hatch over here. Follow me. This way. This way to the crew's quarters. Hi, everybody. Hello, man. This is Lieutenant Hale. Hello. I hope you don't mind if I just sit here and listen. What book have you picked out for today? You started the lay of the last mistral yesterday. Let's finish that. Good idea. Where is it? I've never heard of it. It's a good poem. I was on the third canto yesterday. Let's see. I'll start here. The aged harper, how so ear, his only friend, his harp, was dear. Like not to hear it ranked so high above his flowing poise. Less liked he's still, that scornful jeer. Miss prized the land he loved so dear. High was the sound. As thus again, the bard resumed his mistral strain. Read more, Mr. Plainport. As anybody got a glass of water for me, my voice is sort of going. Sure, sure. Here you are, Mr. Plainport. Thanks, son. That's better. Now, the next verse. Quiet, everybody. Go ahead, Mr. Talbot. Brees there a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, this is my own, my native land, whose heart there within him burned as home his footsteps he hath turned from wandering on a foreign strand. If such there brief go, mark him well, for him no minstrel raptures swell. Hive o' his titles, proud his name, boundless his wealth as wish can claim. Despite these titles, power and pelf, the wretch concerted all in... I'm sorry, boys. I don't think I feel up to reading today. That's the way it was on board ship. Little things like that poem were always occurring, and poor Nolan tried to take it all like a man. He stayed below in his cabin for two days after that, and I didn't want to intrude myself on his misery. So I spent my time talking to the captain and the crew. It was late the second afternoon, Captain Shaw, myself and Lieutenant Vaughn were standing at the rail, and, of course, the conversation turned to Nolan. Vaughn was saying, Funny thing about Nolan, he never allows anybody to come into his cabin. No wonder why. That's his business. I don't think we should intrude, Lieutenant. Oh, sir, it was just curiosity. Hear what the men say about that cabin. And what do they say?   Since I'm the captain, Mr. Vaughn, that decision is in my hands. Ship signed it off for... Slaver! Pardon me, gentlemen. Ship signed it off for... Slaver! Lieutenant Vaughn. Yes, sir. To your posa. We'll be pulling alongside this ship to border. Yes, of course, sir. Ship signed it off for... It only came to life.   A boat and officer were sent to border. There was considerable commotion on the slaver and we waited patiently. Nolan came on deck. He was standing at the rail talking to the captain when Lieutenant Vaughn returned to report to the captain. Captain, sir. I can't understand them. Every man on board speaks some strange patois, though some of them can speak Portuguese. Nobody on board here speaks Portuguese. I do, sir. I've learned to do many things in the ten years of spare time I've had. You, Nolan, eh? Well, would you oblige by acting as interpreter? Of course, sir, as well as I can. Thank you. Mr Vaughn. Yes, sir. Have your men remove the handcuffs and the ankle irons from those men enslaved in that boat. Very well, sir. Come along, then, Nolan. Lower second life boat, Vaughn. This way, Mr. Vaughn. The boat was lowered and we rode over to the slaver. We stalled in the waters for half an hour, giving Vaughn plenty of time to quell in a manner of resistance. By the time we boarded the boat, the three-man crew was in chains and the slaves, freed from their handcuffs and ankle irons, were swarming over the deck wildly jubilant, shouting. But the deck was dirty and the stench from the ship was strong and the three-man crew, chained to the main mast, were shouting dire oaths at us as we boarded the site. Gracias, Dios. Gracias, Dios. Estaremos en casa dentro de poco. Tenía alegría. Mr. Nolan, ask those men which is their captain. Yes, sir. ¿Qué me es su capitán? Aquel y allí. He's the tall man with the red hair, sir. Ask him if he knew that he was violating the law of the United... Ask him if he knew that he was violating the law, Mr. Nolan. Subirca, estava via lando a las dos estados unidos a América. Now say. Now say nada. Says he knows nothing, sir. Nada, eh? The rotten scoundrel. Look at the filth of this deck. Look at the way he had the slaves handcuffed. He knew. He knew what he was doing all right. He was dealing in human flesh. Tell the slaves, Nolan, they're free. Piedos Todos. O capitán Shah. Duparco Nautilus. ¿Qué querías diga que estáo Todos Livros? ¡Livros! ¡Livros! ¡Livros! You can also tell them that their captain will be hanged as soon as I can find enough rope to hang them with. O capitán. O capitán, Shah, discur, triple asado, terra punida. ¡Livros! ¡Livros! ¡Livros! ¡Livros! ¡Livros! Tell them I'll check them to Cape Palmas. O capitán, Shah, discur, voce, sarral, levados, so cabudas, palmas. ¡Livros! ¡Livros! What are they saying? They're all shouting at once. Wait till I single one of them out. ¡Vuste! ¡Sin voce! Ven a casa silencio, Todos! ¿Qué dicen estas homes? No cremes ir a Cape Palmas. Cremes ir para casa de nuestra gente. Voltais nuestras mujeres y fillos. Cape Palmas está multilonge. Longe de casa. Meus compañeros están doentes. Ia no me uvarco a procura de un doctor. Es los diabos me capturaron. Me hubo morir así. ¿Qué es todo? No quiero ir para casa para mi olá. They want to go home to their country, to their children and their wives. First man wants his kinfolk. And the second man, he says his people are sick, very sick, and that he left his home to get a doctor and that these devils kidnapped him. He wants to go home. Home, capitán. Every man wants to go home. Yes, of course, Nolan. Tell them yes. Tell them that they can go to the mountain of the moon if they want to. If I have to sail this schooner through the great white desert, they shall go home. Oh, capitán! These gulvotero, Todos para casa! So the slavers will return to their homes. And they never forgot the look in the eyes of Nolan, the man who would help them. The rest of that journey was uneventful. When I left the Nautilus in the harbor of New York, I saw Nolan standing on the deck waving to me and shouting. And that was the last I ever saw of Philip Nolan, the very last. But I heard tale after tale of the courageous and self-sacrificing work that he did on board each and every ship he sailed on. And then this morning, I received a letter. After 40 years have passed. A letter from Lieutenant One. Only he isn't a lieutenant now. He's a captain of his own ship. I opened the letter and started doing. Dear Mr. Hale, Philip Nolan died this morning. He never allowed anybody in his stateroom, as you know, until late last night. It was exactly four bills. I got a message from Nolan to come down to see him. I walked into the cabin, looked about for the first time. Do you know what that cabin contained? A shrine to America. A large American flag. A picture of Washington. A large bronze eagle. A map of the United States, which he had drawn from memory. And Nolan lay on his bed, beckoning me to come closer to him. Vaughn. Vaughn, I know I'm dying. But you see, I have a country. Vaughn, I've had a country with me all these years. In my heart, Vaughn, I'm dying. Surely you can tell me something now. Please, just something. Of course, Philip. Anything you want. The map. Tell me what belongs on my map. Is the Mississippi Territory still the Mississippi Territory? No, it's a state now, Nolan. Mississippi, Missouri. Yes, yes, I guessed that Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Ohio was the last I knew. That makes 20 states in all. There are 34 now. Where are the other 14? You haven't cut up any of the old ones, I hope.  You're afraid in the new 14 on your map for you. Florida and... The match in Florida State. Ohio, Illinois, Louisiana. What about Texas? What happened to Texas, Vaughn? Texas is part of the union. Wonderful. Wonderful. Arkansas. There's a good American name for you. Did you hear me say it wrong? American. American. American. American. I said it wrong. On this whole ship. In the whole of America. There's not a better American than myself. Not one better in the world. Is there, Vaughn? Not a better one anywhere, Philip.  Thank you. Thank you. And his last wish was to have a gravestone somewhere in the United States. You think you can arrange for that gravestone here? Let it be signed sincerely yours, Richard Vaughn, Captain United States Navy. And in a churchyard in his own United States. There is a gravestone in memory of Philip Nolan, Lieutenant in the Army of the United States. He loved his country as no other man loved him. But no man deserved less at her hand. From the time-worn pages of the past, we have brought to you the story The Man Without a Country. Bell Keeper.


I have four boards up here. We don't have that much time today because I love to talk, by the way, talk all day. So on one side you have the inner world which represents all the things that happen up here between your ears before you ever go out into the world and take action. It's your mindset for success. And on the other side you have what's called the outer world which are the real world strategies that you employ, that you utilize to actually get what you want. You set yourself up here and execute here. One without the other it is really hard to achieve at any reasonable level. The good news is is that they're really quantifiable and easy to learn. I call them pillars or distinctions for each of these worlds. There are four on the inner world. One, two, three, four. I'm going to go through them very quickly here just to give you highlights on this stuff. The first one I mentioned is called state management. The ability to manage your emotional state, your physiological emotional state to show up in the moment feeling positive, certain, confident, clear, certainty, confidence, clarity, courage, the foresees, the selling. Disempowered states, uncertainty, overwhelm, fear.  In that moment, you might be the greatest salesperson, in that moment, you're blocked from accessing the skills and the greatness that you possess. State management is almost like a spicket. When it's open, when you're in an empowered state or states, it opens up the spicket for all the greatness in you to flow out and when you're in disempowered states, the spicket is closed and you're still great, but it's locked inside, you can't express yourself in the real world. Now, when it comes to selling in particular, it gets even more complex because at the highest level, what sales really is, is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion that you transfer is the emotion of certainty, certainty that the product that you're offering, the solution makes sense. It's got the best value proposition, the best course of benefit ratio. It's going to fill their needs, resolve their pain, eliminate their worries, very important insurance. So you have that component, the actual product itself. There's certainty they can trust you that you're there with their best interest at heart, not just a sleazy salesperson trying to rim any policy down their throat to make a buck. Because let's face it, if they think you've got the greatest policy in the world, but they don't trust you, will they buy from you? No way. If they really love it, they'll go find the same policy and buy it from somewhere else. And thirdly, the company that stands behind the product is actually going to be there for the long term as well. You're transferring certainty. I invented the straight line system as a way for teaching people who are not particularly blessed with the ability to transfer certainty. Like I have a natural ability, who's a natural born closer? I'm sure there's some of you, there's a bunch, right? Natural born closers intuitively, for whatever reason, their brain is wired in such a way they intuitively know what to say, how to say it, when to say it to essentially transfer certainty to another human being. The straight line system allows these young kids and since then of the last 30 years, people all over the world to close in that, say like to transfer certainty. The straight line system allows you to transfer certainty, but what it doesn't do, it doesn't create certainty. It transfers it. Certainties created by you, by showing up in a state of absolute certainty. And the straight line allows you to transfer that certainty without breaking fundamental rules of selling and human communication. Like I can't transfer certainty and make them hate me at the same time.  I can't break rapport. There's all these rules of communication. The straight line allows you to transfer certainty. The best metaphor I've ever come up with, it's the way a home heating system works. You have a nice big house in the basement. You have a furnace. Then you have all the duct work, the HVAC system, right? The HVAC system allows the furnace to transfer the heat it creates to all the different rooms without dissipating the energy. Each room gets heated in a very efficient, elegant way without all the heat escaping into the atmosphere. You could have the greatest duct work, the greatest HVAC system in the world, beautiful, pristine. But if the furnace is broken, guess what?  You are the furnace. The straight line system is the duct work. The person you're trying to close represents all the different rooms of the house. You have to show up in a state of absolute certainty that your product is the best, that you are the best. When I say the best, I mean the most ethical, the most knowledgeable, the best for them, a resource for them. Your company is the best, and you use the straight line to transfer the certainty to size to the equation. So state management is crucial. The second element here are called your beliefs. And I'll go quickly here. There are certain beliefs that lead us to success. We call them empowering beliefs. And there's other beliefs that are very disempowering called the limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are, I think it's difficult to make money. Selling is evil. I'm too old, I'm too young. I'm not meant for greatness. All these beliefs, I don't have time to go into the whole belief thing. Hopefully you guys have done some work in self-development. I didn't invent this stuff, right? It's out there, but you have to root out limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering beliefs. And there's ways to do that because here's the deal. We're all held down by our lowest level limiting belief. It's almost like imagine a beautiful Ferrari race car, right? Cherry red chassis, beautiful sleek body, 500 horsepower engine or more, 12 cylinders, four valves per cable of going 240 miles an hour. But if there's a governor on the engine stopping the flow of gas, I don't care how fast the car could go. It's not going over 55. That's what a limiting belief does. It sits on your life and stops you from charging forward when you should and causes you to pull back when you should. And we all have them. If you don't think you have one, then guess what? You just found your first limiting belief. We all have some. You got to root them out, right? Moving forward quickly, there's not much time here, right? Number three, something I call vision focus. To have what I call a fully integrated vision for your future. Meaning where do I see myself in five years from now and why does it matter to me? You're why? Why do I want to get what I want to get? It's not just money. Your why can't be money. I'll save it for the end. The last thing I go, I'll circle back as I want to move forward and circle back and close with your why. And then what we have all these goals that we set that connect us to our vision is daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, annual goals. But our vision is long term. It endures and it evolves and grows to living, breathing organism. People say I'm a goal oriented. I'm glad you said goals.  It's where you're connected to. You can't get overly emotional about your goals because when I set goals, just so you know, I seldom hit my goals. You know why? I set really lofty goals. The problem with most people in life and why they don't really ever achieve greatness is not because they set their goals too high and miss them. It's because they set their goals too low and hit them. I'm dead serious guys. They set their goals too low and they hit them because the enemy of great is good because when you do it okay, you're good. There's no pain. There's no impetus to change. The enemy of great is good. I say to people, I want you to raise your hand as high as you possibly can. Do it now. Raise it as high as you possibly can. And there's a little bit more.  Like I said it the first time, as high as you can.  And there's a little bit above. So like when I say stretch, I'm not saying your goal, I want to be a bigger, I'm going to personally outdo Warren Buffett's entire company next year. That's my goal. That's nonsense. Right? That's not achievable. That's not a stretch. That's fiction. It's fantasy.  Has no power. I want you to set a lofty goal that's achievable. It's a stretch and you'll fall just short of it. And that's okay. Because you're not emotionally attached to the outcome. Your goal is meant to serve as a guide for you to show you whether you're heading generally in the right direction or the wrong direction. The signposts and your goals connect up to this vision for your future.  Because what most people do is they end up focusing where they are not wanting to go. When they're afraid, they focus on their fears and their problems. They're crashing right today. It's almost like living in the problem is the typical saying versus focusing forward on the solution. I have great stories. I can tell you, we've got to move forward here. It's an important point. I'll circle back to vision at the end. And the last one here, the last pillar of this intergame is called standards. And it's the stand. I know it's terrible. The standard actually is the word standard. And the standard is what that level, it's your set point. It's what you hold yourself to, what you must achieve and what you will not settle for less than. We have set points for everything in life. We have set points for our weight. We have set points for our physical body. We have set points for our relationship with God. We have set points for our relationship with other human beings. We have set points for money. We have set points for giving and and significance. You have set points for everything. That level where you feel like you burn, that where you belong. When you are below that, you have ice. You feel uncomfortable, you work really hard. When you hit it, what do you do?  That house with the furnace and the duck work. It also has a thermostat that says, here's where we belong. Are you tired of missing deals?  Do you feel like leaving money on the table every time you talk to someone? My name's Cody Askins and I'm excited on December 11th to spend the day with you and Coach Michael Byrd on our Super Selling Masterclass. We're going to go through the sales process. How do you transition from one part of the process to the next? When you get to the close, what are the words you shouldn't be using? What are the phrases you should be using?

How many of you think you're the best kept secret?
