What's going on guys, welcome to Facebook ads Friday week 40. If this is your first week tuning in, the way this works is every single week on a Friday I will show you two established drop shipping products that are working right now. These aren't just two random products that I've picked for the sake of doing a video, they are established in their own right and I will show you the evidence behind that. This is not based on my opinion, this is based solely on evidence. So if you're sat or stood watching this video right now and you need a product to jumpstart your business with, make sure you subscribe to the channel so you can tune in every single week and get two great product ideas to go out and test right away. So the first product I want to show you is the one you can see now. So this is super, super quick and super, super easy to get started with. It's readily available on pretty much every drop shipping suppliers website. And if you haven't already noticed by now, they're simply using a recycled image or a stock image or perhaps have had the image created themselves. Either way, it's a single image which you can knock up something like this in the space of like probably five or 10 minutes. If you know what you're doing, you know your way around tools like Canva. Anyway, it's from a company called Team K9. This particular post is from March 25th of 2023. So I believe in fact that is two months to the day. And as we can see, it's not a kind of like textbook image. It looks like this has been photoshopped onto this lawn in front of this house or apartment complex with a massive red arrow pointing towards the product. This is in case you are ever in doubt about what it is they're advertising. Nonetheless, an effective strategy and the way I know that is because we can take a look at the engagements and we'll take a look at the comments in a second as well. So 8.7 thousand reactions over a thousand comments and nearly a thousand shares. I'm going to start off by looking at the newest comments so you can see indeed this is relevant and working right now. If you do want to go ahead and test this product, something else as well that I was going to kind of like precursor this video with is a lot of people talk about saturation within a dropship in space. If you're ever concerned about saturation, make sure you check out the video that I uploaded on Monday earlier this week where I show you a business which made 50 grand in bottom line profit, sending a quote unquote saturated product and I break down that entire strategy of how to take advantage of those saturated products. Saturation is not something to fear or to stay away from. There's a reason products become saturated and that's because they are popular because people want to buy them. So all you have to do is adapt to the strategy that you use when it comes to selling them back to this one though. So we can see 17 minutes ago, ignore the seven weeks. It'll be because it had a recent reply. So we can see 11 hours ago, 10 hours, 21 hours, one day, one day, two days. We're already starting to get comments from people who have bought this product and posting content of their dog using the products. So George Brown, I already got one George Brown posting again. Amanda's posting her dog looks like a German shepherd from eight weeks ago. But again, just to kind of reiterate, if we open this up, we can see replies on two days ago, six days ago, three days, 11 weeks, three days. You get the gist. There's lots and lots of relevant comments from recent showing that it's still active and it's still working. If we go into the most relevant comments, then this is this will be where we see the majority of people who have come back after purchasing one of these things to leave their review. So you can see Heidi posted a picture of her. I think there's two dogs in there. Donna said she has the XL one and Denise says hers loves the swim pool. Brenda, I have two of these. I have two one for each German shepherd. They absolutely love them. It does my heading when people don't use punctuation on social media. I'm another person posting a picture of their dogs. Another person, another person, another person, another person, another person. I think you get the gist. My daughter has two big dogs and loves this. I think it's pretty safe to say like this is non-disputable evidence. I don't think anyone watching this video can argue that people love this product, people buying this product, it's validated and it must be quote unquote. I don't usually like using this word, but a winning product. So now that we've got the product itself, how do we get started with it? Well, obviously, first thing we need is a Shopify store. So I want to show you what these guys are doing so you can use them as inspiration. Nobody should ever copy a store like for like. There's people who have gotten significant amounts of trouble for doing that in the past. What you can do, though, is take the strategy these guys are using and adapt it for your own particular stores. So when I open up a store, usually I get rid of this first message. However, the first thing I spotted with this product that you might be able to see in the background, they've reduced this down oh so very kindly from three hundred and sixty US dollars, which is what's that about three hundred great British pounds reduced down to just hundred and twenty dollars, which even still I think is very, very expensive for this product. This is a super high profit margin product. However, the reason I wanted to show you this then is because everybody can get twenty percent off their order, so that instantly comes down to what? Just under a hundred dollars, which in my opinion, I still think is a bit expensive for this product and I will show you why that is the case in a second when we jump on to Aliexpress and take a look at some supplies. So this is a website. They do a really good job of kind of extinguishing any doubts about whether they're legit or not.  They have lots of social proof, so they obviously have the amount of reviews. They have shop pay, which is like a well known way of splicing payments. So it allows you to kind of piggyback off the trust of that kind of well known name because scam stores, they're not associated with stores or services or softwares that have good reputations, right? So by having this on your store, then it makes people feel more comfortable and more ease with trusting you. And obviously, when you get somebody to trust you as much more easily, it's much more easier to get them to buy from you as well. So it comes in two different colors, three different sizes, and you can actually get a cover with this one as well. As we come down into the product description, nothing kind of like textbook, lots and lots of different imagery, big, bold, fonts in your face. However, it does look like original imagery, which is crucial. If you want to be successful at this game, you have to use original imagery. It's proven time and time again. It is a fact Facebook like websites that contain original content. They don't want to be sending people to Shopify stores that have the same images as the next Shopify store selling the exact same product. What it also does is it different differentiates you from the competition. So images like this is no excuse why somebody couldn't create this themselves. Again, a few minutes on Canva, if you know what you're doing with a little kind of trademark logo in the bottom right hand corner, which makes it that much more difficult for somebody to copy it from you. As we move down, then everything is kind of demonstrated or if the information kind of given across is via imagery rather than paragraphs and paragraphs of text, they do have the odd bit. But most of it, of course, as we can see comes on gifts and images, which is key to selling their products like this. People want to see a dog in using the product to its full capacity, to its benefits. There's only so much or there's only kind of so much selling power with the words that you write, and this may just be my opinion. However, I am of the opinion that images and videos do a much better job of selling than writing does. So we've seen the ad creative they're using. We've seen the Shopify store set up that they have. They're selling this for two hundred dollars. I swear that said, of course, we need to come down to the smaller size. Media. I thought we got it all the way down to a hundred and I've got the cover as well. So a hundred and twenty dollars for the basic one in aqua blue. And that is a 40 inches by 12 inches. So that is give or take about a hundred centimeters, I think. So if we jump on to Aliexpress, you won't have any trouble finding a supply for this product if we go for an 80 by 30 and theirs is 12 inch. So that is let's go for it's approximately the same. That is that's about 80 by 30. And they're selling that for hundred and twenty dollars. You can get delivered to your customers for thirty dollars. So as you can see a super, super high profit margin product, and it allows you to be quite aggressive when you're running your Facebook ads because there's about seventy dollars of room in there. So that's probably no more than guys just very quickly, thirty seconds of time. I just want to let you know about this training that I've created. So it's been really popular recently. If you guys haven't seen it, make sure you do check it out. It's quite extensive. So make sure you block out some time, bring a pen and paper. Basically, it does what it says on the tin.

All I say is watch the training and see for yourself. We've had hundreds of people go through it and do just that. That is why I'm willing to make that bold claim. Just to reiterate, it is one hundred percent free, won't cost a single penny. All I ask from you is your email address. And that is so I can send you this. So everybody who watches the training gets a one hundred percent free copy and download of this.

So if that sounds good to you, once you're finished watching this video, of course, make sure you check out the top link in the video description below. Thanks. Moving on to product number two, then, guys, we are with a business called Flex Tail. This is a super neat product. I'm going to do a video next week specifically on this brand and what we can learn from this and jump a bit more deeper, I suppose, into the strategies they're using and how to create a successful and profitable business for yourself today. We're going to focus purely on the product. So this is the creative August 22nd of 2022. It's been going for quite some time, which is a great sign. It shows that it's a product that has a consistent demand and can be a consistent earner for you throughout the year. Twenty two thousand likes, three point six thousand comments and one point eight thousand shares. This particular creative will have millions of views. What is this creative? Let's take a look at it now. So as you can see, it's like a rechargeable mini mini portable pump. It also does the reverse as well. As you can see for shrinking, no shrink, rack, bags, bags as we've just seen. And there is a clip of it as well. It does have a torch on like that. So it makes kind of like the perfect companion for any kind of outdoor adventure or camping trip, all in all, a super, super neat product. And that's reflected in this success that it's been having too. So according to standard procedure, let's go for newest so we can see is working right now. So one hour ago, three days ago, seven hours. Again, we can ignore the 25 weeks because if we open that up, we can see 12 hours. So I placed my order and arrived today so we can see there's straight away somebody who's bought one of these things recently, 14 hours, 23 hours. One day, one day, two days, two days, two days. You get the gist. This is active and working right now. Let's take a look at the most relevant comment sense if we can find some more people who have bought this thing. So we have the company themselves posting this code camping tent trying to encourage people to buy the product. So this person here, I love mine. It does need to be recharged after blowing up a kid's travel bed, but it's worth it for the size. I've wasted money on so many pumps until I found this one by far the best. I wish I could buy it and the vacuum bags. So there's intent. FlexTail, I wonder if I can buy replacement parts. So there's somebody who's bought it who needs extra parts for it. Got loads and loads of people asking about, can it be used for certain things? Can we do an air mattress, that sort of thing? Works for sup, how long did you typically take to ship? A nice tool, I got one for Christmas. So as we can see, a mixture of people who have already bought this product as well as people who have intent or showing intent and interest in buying a product. So we've seen the products. Let's jump on to the Shopify store. This is a really good store. I'm just going to go through, in fact, some point out a couple of my favorite features and then, like I said, on Monday, I probably do a proper breakdown of this and what we can take away from this and learn from this stores and proper. So 30 pounds for the products itself comes in three different colors and it comes in lots and lots of different variations, too. So the cheapest will be 30 pounds. And then obviously when you buy two of these things or you want a vac bag, etc. to come with it, that's going to bump up your average order value. Straight away, we can notice the product is branded. So no matter who else comes to the market selling this same product, these guys look more professional because they are selling a product which has their very own logo on it. Let's move down then. We can see original imagery, a really nice banner image feature in the product. This sort of imagery, it looks super professional. It looks like it would be time consuming or expensive to create. But you can simply, once you've got, you should have a few samples of your own products, of course, if you're going to do something similar to this. All you've got to do is walk out into your back garden and take a picture with your iPhone, clearly with the logo visible to create original content like this and come across as a super kind of professional and branded store, which is key to long term success if you want to make money in e-commerce. Moving down, we can see just more kind of sections reiterating the features and benefits of the product. Keep this image in mind. In fact, I'll show you the supplier that I found for this. So you can actually drop ship this very product. We have a supplier here. We can see it's pretty much the same, has the same clip. It's the same size, same dimensions.  It has a torch on, etc. And we can actually get this delivered for $12. We saw they were selling it for about $40. 30 pounds translates into about $40 and actually found it on Alibaba, too. So if you're buying, say, over a hundred of these things, you can get them delivered to your doorstep for about probably $12, $13 or so, once you've divided in the taxes and shipping costs involved. Back to the website then just to go down. We can see lots of nice custom icons. They do a really good job of putting across the information to the consumer without simply just putting it in a boring paragraph that nobody wants to read. They just do a really nice, visually pleasing way of demonstrating the information. To wrap the product page off them, I just want to show you this section here because to create an image like this would be, again, I keep saying it, I will do a video specifically one day on how to get the most out of Canva, but to create something like this would be super quick and easy and it looks super, super professional. Apple used to do something like this on their website, too, like kind of like a what's in the box and each thing have its own section. It's just a really nice way of just look super, super professional, basically. Anybody coming onto this website will not think twice about whether they're legitimate or real or not, just because of the extent they've gone to to position themselves as a real brand and legitimate business, which, of course, they are. So we see these guys are selling the product for $40. We've seen we can drop ship it delivered for 12 or we can source it ourselves on Alibaba for in and around $12 with our logo one, too, maybe a little bit more expensive. But to have your logo printed, it's not going to be a big expense for something like this. And so with that being something, guys, I'm going to wrap the video up there. That is Faithful Guest Friday, week 40. Hope you guys enjoyed those two products. Two products completely on the ups and ends of the spectrum. Really, you have the dog niche products, of course, with the pool at the beginning and your camping product. Hopefully, I've sparked some ideas and inspiration for you to go out and get started with your own business right away, starting sooner rather than later. If you want some help getting started, don't forget to check out that free training. It will show you all of the necessary steps you need to take in order to get started the right way. Thanks for watching, guys. I'll see you in the next video on Monday. Cheers.


Aloha, welcome to American Issues Take One. I'm Tim Apachele, your host and the title today for today's show is Michael Johnson What kind of speaker of the house is that? We have a new speaker finally on round. I believe it's round four We've had a lot of candidates that came to the table and we're all denied one way or another Who are the candidates? It was Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, Tom Els and now Mike Johnson In the show right up I said, you know What was the litmus test for you to become a speaker and it appears Mike Johnson fills that test? The test is you have to be an election denier of the 2020 election And if you weren't an election denier then you would not be sitting as speaker of the house So we don't know a lot about Mike Johnson, but we do know he was on the ground floor of the election denial for Donald Trump So with that in mind, I'd like to introduce my co-host Jay Fidel and we're gonna discuss this topic immediately Good morning, Jay. Good morning, Jim Jay, we don't know a lot about this guy Mike Johnson. He's a Representative from Louisiana Steve Scalise seems to know a little bit about him because he was very complimentary in his introduction of Mike Johnson, but we do know one thing That he is an ally of Donald Trump and he was very much connected with the early days of Assisting Mr. Trump for the election denial that Joe Biden was the president and the election was stolen from Donald Trump And he was on that ground floor. I listened to his speech his acceptance speech this morning and He seems to be somewhat pragmatic as far as saying we have to get the business done for the American people and the first thing he said was We have to fulfill our obligation to keep the government funded. That was certainly good news to my ears Didn't sound like one of the bomb throwers of Marjorie Taylor Greene or or the likes of her Or the Matt Gaetz type that let's put a wrecking ball to government get nothing done and watch it crumble So there was some some hope in his initial words and we'll see how this goes your thoughts Hmm. I am no less concerned than I was before He's a trumpet Trump for his work. Trump is working behind the scenes manipulating this whole process for the past month He was a trumpet in denying the election. He voted against the electoral ballots He was actively supporting Trump in Trump's efforts to turn the election over to turn the government over to destroy our democracy Query will he be better now answer probably no I'm not confident at all. I think Trump speaks through him And we just don't know enough about him, but we will know more about him soon when we start to see what he has to say I don't think he's his own man. I think he works for others He works for Trump and he and he works for the religious right. He's an extreme conservative I'm not happy at all with this Republicans do not have their act together. They do not represent the country they got in in 2020 a lot of them a lot of them and They were the product of all of the machinations that went on in that election As I told you before the show Tim, you know, we were all focused on Trump's efforts to steal the election from Biden and And and January 6th and all that and we forgot to look at exactly how Congress got constituted in the elections of 2020 Well, I think what happened is that Congress was also being manipulated by Trump There were these, you know These efforts to Primary people get his people to run in the Republican side There were these efforts through social media to pour money into campaigns for Republican candidates To manipulate voting suppressed black voting all the things that he was doing those things count and He said there would be a red wave. Well, okay, it may not been a red wave but it was enough to screw up Congress and And and you know walk through the halls of Congress and you see people who are clearly unqualified and And they are leading us. Where are they leading us? Where is Mike Johnson leading us? I will be really surprised if Mike Johnson leads us anywhere good. I think he's a proxy for Trump Okay, let's take a step back just briefly on on how we got to the selection of Mike Johnson as you know, Steve Scalise was the next candidate and That didn't take long for him to withdraw because clearly he saw that pathway to becoming the speaker was fraught with objections Let me let me just interrupt to say that He had a good chance until Trump Dished him and that was the end of him. It was immediate as soon as Trump turned against him He was gone. Well, that's where I was going with this. What is the common denominator? So then let's move to Jim Jordan who Donald Trump fully throated his endorsement and he was the heir apparent But for 20 Republicans, we did a show on this last week Jim Jordan was a bridge way too far either from his involvement with the January 6th events that took place certainly with the election denial issues and then he had a little bit of a Some you know baggage from his days as an assistant coach at the University of Michigan that That tail never left and so a lot of people thought that was a character flaw that this could they couldn't abide with So Jim Jordan didn't make it and Donald Trump that was a slap to his face because remember Donald Trump is the kingmaker correct and Now Donald Trump's embarrassed. He's not the kingmaker because Jordan went down in flames so then you had Tom L's and Guess what? He was one that didn't decertify the election He voted that the election was fair and clean and so within within minutes Donald went to his true social network and typed in that Representative else was a globalist rhino and for those who don't know what rhino means it means Republican in name only that was the end of him and will own behold now. We have Mike Johnson So Donald Trump now is again because he's endorsed Mike Johnson He again comes off as the kingmaker the man with influence Donald Trump the leader of the GOP party and the MAGA party Donald Trump is he tarnished into this whole process or did he come up on top? well He's more tarnished than he ever was for me and for the people who are following the four indictments But for the Republican Party, which he had a lot to do with electing them as they are He's not tarnished. He's in greater control raising more money among the base all that So I think it's tragic That he's not, you know out of control. I mean not no longer controlling But I'm afraid to say the answer your question is among the Republicans. He's in the same control or more Okay, well, let's look at the almost the last four weeks Let's look at the last four weeks and say to the following The world's been watching and it's been a clown show. We've used that reference. It's been a clown show To what degree does Donald Trump own the clown show and to how much damage has the House of Representatives abstained by not being able to elect a house speaker Well, you know in the last four weeks we have seen violence in the Middle East now on one two three fronts and the newspaper today Reported that there are attacks against Americans in Syria and in Iraq Repeated attacks dozens of attacks and some American soldiers have been wounded So we have a we have a major problem going on in in the in the Middle East We have many problems going on in the Middle East. We have of course the problem in Ukraine We have not supplied them with what they expected what we promised and Poland has just Turned over its f-16s to Ramstein But said they would turn over their f-16s not to not to Ukraine like they said they were gonna do but to the Americans in Ramstein and this leaves everything in in limbo because Because Biden has not yet agreed to give those f-16s or any f-16s to Ukraine Even though Ukraine is getting hammered if you watch the news carefully these days It does not look like Ukraine is winning 20% or more of the land of Ukraine is occupied by the Russians and they are more aggressive They are using more weapons more missiles Than and more more, you know dropping bombs on Ukraine than before you can't be heartened by what's happening in Ukraine and They need help from us, you know in a desperate fashion Then you have, you know the incident or a series of incidents between Azerbaijan and Armenia and Turkey another hotspot And there are a lot of smaller hotspots But right now the South China Sea is very hot and China is being very aggressive with the Filipinos And a lot of people think the reason is that it's winding up It's softening the area up for its big play on Taiwan and indeed it is flying over when near Taiwan every day It is having incidents in the Taiwan Strait And what we have is again a number of hotspots around the world and we haven't paid attention to them worse than that Tim is that we have sent a message to everyone in the world Especially the autocrats that we are weak and in political discord for a long period of time So you can say that Mike Johnson is the solution to that problem. I doubt it And I think they are going to be looking very carefully at us to see whether that discord continues Or whether we are a paper tiger and I suggest they are going to find us a paper tiger and see the whole thing as Opportunity opportunity to continue their autocracy to continue their violence their invasions You know, they're their violations of the liberal world order The world is in bad shape and we have we've demonstrated we're not interested in fixing it You know, uh now speaker Johnson said at the podium in the house of representatives That one of his top priorities was also to ensure that there is sufficient funding for israel He was very silent on ukraine and Allegedly he is not a supporter of continued funding for ukraine or certainly reduced funding for ukraine By dividing the two What message does that send? Well, it's I think it's a continuation of the reluctance of the republican party Or a good number of them To to support ukraine, which is really really tragic because ukraine is the future of europe And what it does is it discourages the eu it discourages nato to see that the american government is not ardent at all In defending ukraine That's that's so that's one thing. It's a continuation of the of the trump policy. Remember trump is friendly Here's it's so logistic trump is friendly with putin He's in a transactional arrangement with putin. He wants to see putin succeed. He's made it clear And putin, you know, it wants to help trump like in the 2024 Like the social media and all that so there's not an arrangement those two guys And I think that's playing out because trump the second part of the syllogism is trump is controlling this guy And I believe he's you know, he controlled all these failed elections and over the past month But now I believe he's controlling mike johnson and that's why mike johnson Doesn't want to support ukraine because trump doesn't want to support ukraine. That's simple um on israel, it's a little different um because trump gets money from some jewish factions Uh, trump believes he's got a good relationship with netanyahu after all netanyahu is like trump in many ways And all the problems in israel over the past 10 months You know in my view were were were an effect of that an effect of the strange relationship Between trump and netanyahu And and look where we are now. I think he wants to support netanyahu Keep him in office. Although there's a big move in israel to get him out of office um, and he wants to um, he wants to retain control Of of the situation there Therefore, uh for political reasons, uh, trump wants to support israel ergo mike johnson wants to support israel It's real simple. It is not a matter of moral equivalency Well, we know what it takes to get some somebody elected You have to say the right things at the right time and and have a track record but sometimes the office does transform the philosophy and Uh, the willpower of a speaker of the house where they they they shift They changed they become their own man so to speak or our own woman and um The job shapes the individual and one of the things I heard mike johnson say is that he is in support of bipartisan Relationships with the democrats. I personally found that is somewhat optimistic a thing to hear Uh, was it just a political banter? Was it just bombast or do you think there's an opportunity that Uh, this new speaker will actually reach across the aisle and get some things done Which by the way would probably include ukraine funny because Um, a majority of republicans in the house and the senate, uh, they do support ukraine and supported quite well Do you think that's an area where he'll be convinced despite what donald trump wants? I don't know him I don't know him well enough any of us do and I'll be reading the paper very artily over the past few days Uh or weeks Um to see where he really goes, but I think the jury's out on who owns him We have a you know the continuing of the government funding coming up here I believe it's around november the ninth Some part around that date What's your prediction on how successful this this new speaker of the house We we're all able to rally the g.o.p. Party to Be contributory to the successful passage of that funding bill so the government doesn't shut down again Yes, I I think they Mike johnson the republicans will Will work toward funding. I think they may nevertheless Require some of their ideology To be included in conditions to the funding. We'll see some of that. It'll be negotiated as it never was In the past it never was but you'll see some negotiation on ideological grounds But I think ultimately they'll be a compromise and I think we'll have our funding We only have like, you know three weeks to go before the middle of november when the deadline So I but I think the biggest reason of all Tim Is that over the past month?  That they should hold up on funding and put all these people, you know out of out of their paychecks Stop all government services. What is this about? This is so destructive that no reasonable person on any side of the aisle Could feel they were doing their jobs earning their pay being responsible to the electorate in the country So they come out of this month long thing With two black eyes and mike johnson They have no choice if they want to retain Any kind of support in the election of 2024? They got to get their act together right now And if they fail to fund the government here in the middle of november They're going to lose a lot of votes lots and tons of votes. It is very material I think they realize they have a public relations nightmare because His his closing remarks he came out of the capitol and went to the podium on the steps of the house for representatives In his closing remark is we have no time For celebrations or ceremony That normally accompanies the you know the mark of of a new speaker of the house He said we have no time for that We are going to go back in and we are going to look at funding for israel and other things. So I think you're right They have two black eyes and they know it and At least from the podium mike johnson seems to recognize that and is willing to do something about it And do it very quickly. So If nothing else, uh, we'll see where that goes Yeah, but just remember that what he says, you know, the rhetoric he uses The language he provides to us and to the media. Okay, they're trying to get off on a good start That's one thing But let's see what he does Not clear to me that that he's going to you know follow his own language Not clear to me that he's not going to change his mind with a midnight call from you know who Well, okay, let's go to you know who because no matter what we do or what we say we always have you know who in the background You know who is donald trump? uh, to what degree does the the landscape change as donald trump is um in court and uh his Co-defendants are flipping on him. We have three attorneys who have flipped on him now And uh, these are very close allies of donald trump And to what degree if things start looking grim for donald trump Does that have any impact on? The positions of the speaker of the house or his fellow republicans Uh, let's forget about the maga the 20 maga republicans because they're gone They're they're beyond reproach. They're beyond hope of trying to convince them that you know, america needs to move forward And not into chaos the thoughts about um He's a master. He's a master of chaos And um, you know and some people really like chaos. They like the bonnie and clive, you know kind of thing that they like, um john dilliger an anti-hero person So I think he's going to retain them. Uh, whatever happens Um, he may well be convicted on the basis of uh, some of these uh People who have flipped and will testify against him. But remember in a criminal proceeding all you need is one All you need is one one sleeper juror um to vote against conviction and you beat it And he's been uh contaminating juries from the beginning all his all his life um, he's been, uh, you know Intimidating them threatening them Having his acolytes call them make those midnight calls and all that So the system is on trial And query whether the system will hold up does nobody that we can think of who did more to damage the american jurist Juris system criminal justice system that donald trump. So he's not finished with that But the question really arises as to the press, you know, like everything else in the world Including the middle east. It's what you say to the press and how soon you say it and how the press likes the raw meat that you feed them Um, it's like animals in the zoo. Honestly, they just want to have that raw meat So the raw meat now is uh, he's being he's being completely obstreperous And he's not following the gag orders and he got fined. Uh, what did he get fined? Uh, $10,000 today Uh for a violation In the I guess it's in the civil case Um, and uh, I don't know whether he has to pay that a check. Maybe a credit card. Maybe pay pal I don't know how he pays that but I hope he he gets to pay it And I hope everybody remembers it because he'll do it again. He likes to do it again Gets his name in the headlines Um, and every time he does it, you know, it ought to be and it ought to be, you know, collective between all of these cases In other words, if he gets fined $10,000 in in the civil case in new york Uh, the next judge who wishes to, uh, you know, hold him in contempt or punish him for violation of a gag order Or to keep that in mind Um, the $10,000 may or may not have an effect on him. So let's make it 20. Let's make it 50. Let's make it a million Let's make it two million to stop him. Apparently he doesn't believe in that. So he doesn't He doesn't buy by it. So I'm just answering by saying I'm not sure Whether people like the bunion Clyde, you know drama that's playing out in this reality show Over his first amendment rights and and the limitations the god rails from, um, you know, the gag orders Um, or whether they take it seriously. It's criminal The whole thing shows you a Person who is morally bereft Um, how does the country react to that? I said, I like mike johnson react to that mike johnson is a religious man And i'm always interested in how the religious guys in this country the religious factions Can forgive trump for things that are obviously against the principles of their religion Uh, let's see what happens when he lies. Let's see what happens when he violates every rule in a book. Um, let's see if mike johnson still likes him Good point You know getting back to you know, these these pending fines or sanctions against donald trump I'll introduce an acronym that i've used for years and it pertains to donald trump perfectly and that's the acronym is opm other people's money Donald trump rarely spends his own money And um, i'm sure there's a few legal defense funds that he's suckered the american public out of to fund And i'm sure it comes right out of those those funds those legal funds for donald trump and his efforts to write a wrong, which was the stealing of the 2020 election. So um But to get back to that to get back to the 2022 election midterm election we know that the the platform of addressing and and and stomping one's feet about how the 2020 election was stolen didn't play well uh, that tsunami of red the red wave tsunami Was a trickle as a direct result of people were not interested in addressing 2020 Uh election grievances that donald trump has brought to the forefront here today In fact in front of this selection of the house speaker That was a lipless test and if you didn't believe in a 2020 steal Uh, then you would not get the endorsement of donald trump. In fact just the opposite you would be You would be thrown under the bus called a global rhino or or some other words So That strategy didn't work in 2022 j Why does donald trump and i i'm not asking you to get inside his mind because you may never get out But why does donald trump think that's going to work now? That's work Just because there wasn't a red wave doesn't mean he didn't have a big effect on that election He should have gotten zero.  I don't want to surprise you in any way who believe today Um that the insurrection of january 6th wasn't really an insurrection at all It was just a protest. It was a sunday outing a picnic And and they they truly believe that because that's in donald trump playbook So they're not outraged about it And they weren't outraged in 22 in 2022 about it and if you talk to them today, they repeat the playbook You know, I told you I had a conversation with some people who believe in the second amendment big time And um, they got the playbook already and they can defend the second amendment The extension of the second amendment to everything Including every case that comes to the supreme court including every Every gross shooting in a school they can defend it because they got the playbook And the same thing with uh, you know with january 6th, they got the playbook and they believe in the playbook So do not assume I think do not assume that uh That they were all that this that the electorate was all that disappointed I think um, some people were Disappointed and would not vote for him because of january 6th But a lot of people still believe in him Well last question before we run out of time here jane that um You know, you recall it took 15 votes to get kevin mccarthy installed a speaker of the house Uh, his downfall was he made a lot of deals That basically stripped his his power away from him That power play went right to the mega freedom caucus And uh, he was doomed from the very moment. He was brought in as speaker of the house Uh, I understand from what I read is that mike johnson doesn't have a lot of baggage He's quite, you know under the radar quite unknown not a lot of enemies in congress And the question is do you think he had to make a deal with the devil and and make all sort of concessions? Uh, just to become that speaker of the house like, uh, kevin mccarthy had to do Maybe not to the same degree, but I to answer your question.  He said Well, you know, he's not the greatest speaker. He's not necessarily my first choice, but He's okay And what that means to me is that for appearance's sake Uh, he didn't want to he didn't want to take a position that suggested that he'd made a deal with johnson But I think it does suggest that and I think the deal may be me, you know, it may not be the same as a kind of open deal Overt kind of arrangement that resulted in mccarthy But I think that there's a more covert deal that we're not going to hear about They were they were meeting in private Who's to say that matt gates doesn't have some kind of deal with johnson? I think he had a swear fealty at some point to some degree. So he does have baggage Okay, well, I guess time will tell on that. Um, what I hear you describe is that Representative house speaker mike johnson is the best worst option Um, I wouldn't go that far. Okay Well, we'll leave it at that j. Do you have any final thoughts before? Um, we end the show here today Well, it's another cliffhanger We'll have to watch it could be a better option than we had before. I don't think mccarthy was a good option at all And I you know and the bottom line is the country is in discord A congress is in discord and the world sees this And they are going to and the those who hate us those who are our enemies Are going to take advantage And the only way for us to deal with that and it's it's kind of too late in many ways Only way for us to deal with that is to get strong get together and do public policy do global presence And um and be the country we always wanted to be if we don't do that. I think we're on a major decline All right, uh, I'll leave us my last thought on this one. It's it's apparent that you have a minority caucus group called the freedom caucus They're maga they're loyal trumpets They won't think independently to their constituency or to the american public They'll do what they're told to do and there would be dutiful loyal lackeys And right now that group that minority is the tail that wags the dog in the house of representatives They are in control of the house of representatives and it's amazing how the g lp has allowed this to happen So thank you. Amen. Amen to everything you said Thank you, jay. Thanks for coming on the show jay and uh, i'm tim apachell your host for american issues take one And why don't you join us next week and until then? aloha

The link to our narksfiver merchandise store is in the video description. Flymonkeys groupthink mentality. A flymonkey can be anyone who believes the fake persona of the narcissist. They act on behalf of the narcissist, usually for an abusive purpose. They can also be enablers, as they enable the abuse to take place by keeping a code of silence. Normal emotionally healthy people do not abuse or manipulate. They do not get involved in someone else's business. Flymonkeys do, and they take it personally, even though it has nothing to do with them. Smear campaigns are a psychological phenomenon, where flymonkeys strive for a common agreement within the group. In many smear campaigns, people will set aside their own personal beliefs and adopt the opinions of the rest of the group. People who are opposed to the opinions or decisions of the group will remain quiet. They prefer to keep the peace, rather than disrupt the conformity of the flymonkeys. They engage in smear campaigns because they fear that if they were to express a feeling of disapproval or opposition to their opinions or decisions of the group, they would experience something less favourable for them. They fear that their personal opinions or beliefs might cause the flymonkeys to reject them from the group. There are certain conditions which should exist for smear campaigns to develop. There must be an environment where the flymonkeys are able to stick together and remain united in the pursuit of a common goal. There might be situational factors that might cause or arrange for something to take place at a later time than what was originally planned. This could be due to external threats, moral problems or difficult decisions. There are likely to be issues in the way that the group is structured or arranged, which prevents a more favourable or beneficial result from taking place. The group will be isolated from anyone who has more authority or influence or any official or established procedures. There are symptoms that flymonkeys are likely to experience. They will have an illusion of invulnerability. They will feel as though it is impossible for them to experience any form of harm or damage. They will believe that they are untouchable. This may lead them to be overly optimistic and cause them to engage in taking risks. They will have unquestioned beliefs about you or the situation. They will ignore possible moral problems or what is considered to be right or wrong and ignore the consequences of individual and group actions. They will attempt to explain or justify their behaviour or attitude. With logical reasons, even if these reasons are not appropriate, rationalising their behaviour or attitude prevents them from reconsidering their opinions or decisions and causes them to ignore any signs of danger. They will ignore or even demonise anyone who may oppose or challenge their opinions or decisions. This causes other members of the group to exercise control of what they say or do to avoid criticism. Mindguards will be present within the group. These are people who serve as informational filters. They will provide limited information to the group which will be infavourable to the target. They will consciously make use of a variety of strategies to control opinions and beliefs and direct the decision making process to a specific limited range of possibilities. They will create an illusion of unanimity to lead members of the group into believing that everyone is in agreement and shares the same opinions or beliefs. They will feel pressure to conform to the group's way of thinking. Those who question the group are seen as disloyal. Group thinking leads to poor decision making and inefficient problem solving which can be seen in any smear campaign. The fly monkeys are more concerned with maintaining unity rather than objectively evaluating their situation and finding more favourable alternatives or options. Smear campaigns often occur when the fly monkeys are very similar to each other. They are more likely to take place when a powerful or charismatic leader commands the group. Smear campaigns are more likely to occur when the fly monkeys are under stress or feel compelled to make a decision regarding a situational problem. The narcissist who is leading the fly monkeys should avoid stating their opinions or beliefs and give people time to come up with their own ideas. Naturally, narcissists do not want people to have their own opinions or beliefs. They want everyone to conform to their way of thinking so that they can maintain control or dominance over the situation. Then they can direct the decision making process to an outcome that is more favourable to them. Even if it is problematic to everyone around them, narcissists are self-absorbed and lack empathy. They only care about themselves.  The game is to make you believe that they like each other, yet they are united and hating you. The reality is, they don't really like each other at all. They have developed a bond over abusing you. In a healthy environment, there should be at least one person of the fly monkeys who is also opposed to their group thick mentality. In a healthy environment, a smear campaign wouldn't even exist because the fly monkeys opinions, beliefs or ideas would be discussed with people outside of the group to get opinions that are unbiased or unprejudiced. The fly monkeys should be encouraged to remain critical of the group's opinions or decisions. Where there is a smear campaign, it is not a healthy environment. Fly monkeys are stalkers. Stalkers have mental disorders. Many of them are narcissistic, psychopathic, or have some other cluster B disorder. They are targeting you and only you due to their envy and jealousy. It could be something about your character or personality, qualities, talents or traits, your physical appearance, money, material things, career, relationships, social circle or connections. You may not believe it at first, especially if you are a modest or humble person.  Well why would they go out of their way to make you believe that? If this was something they really believed to be true, they wouldn't even need to convince you. The truth is, that's exactly how they feel about themselves. They have low self worth and low self esteem. They feel worthless and insignificant. They are just projecting these emotions onto you. It takes the focus off them and gives them the power to control you and the environment. They will target you for years, sometimes even an entire lifetime. They do not self reflect or look within, so they cannot resolve these painful emotions. Instead they choose to project them onto you, but these emotions have to be reflected on for them to be resolved. Which is how the fly monkeys are able to hold grudges and resentment for such a long period of time. Normal, functional, healthy people do not hold grudges and resentment. They want to resolve conflict because it makes them feel uncomfortable. But fly monkeys are different. As I said earlier, fly monkeys harass and stalk you.  Many of them are narcissistic. They enjoy drama. They enjoy dysfunctional chaotic environments. It's what they have experienced since childhood. It's familiar to them, so they will go out of their way to recreate the same environment and even push and provoke people until they get their desired result. Any long term harassment or stalking is not going to be related to anything you have done wrong. It's based off of their out of control emotions. They are envious and jealous of you. If this was not the truth, they would be focused on other people who have done the same things or far worse.  Like it doesn't matter what anyone else has done. Because they are not envious or jealous of the other people and these are the very emotions which override any rationality, any reason or logic before becoming aware of you as a target of the smear campaign. The fly monkey may have had a stressful life. They may have had intense feelings of hatred towards themselves. They may have felt hatred, anger, envy or jealousy towards you or someone else. If the fly monkey was a healthy individual and didn't have these negative emotions or feelings of worthlessness and insignificance, they would never agree to be a fly monkey and start stalking and harassing you. People who do these types of things will be deeply dissatisfied or unfulfilled with their lives. Stalking and harassing you is their way of escaping from reality. It's a form of escapism and when the fly monkey first started stalking you, it gave them a high, a rush of adrenaline. For a moment they forgot about all the problems in their lives.  This created a new neural pathway within their brains which then associated relieving their negative emotions or feeling of worthlessness and insignificance with stalking and harassing you. You became their drug, their addiction. If you left this abusive situation, they would have severe withdrawal symptoms. They would experience stress, anxiety and depression. Fly monkeys will not self reflect or look within themselves. They do not accept responsibility or accountability for anything that they do. They believe that other people are responsible for how they feel. So there is no way that they could just move on with their lives and never abuse anyone else again. They would have to find another target or victim. Someone to unleash their frustration on. Someone to project all of their negative emotions onto. So the cycle continues. There are times where the fly monkeys may not have access to you. You are not around for them to stalk and harass. During these times they will abuse whoever else is around them. Most often the people closest to them, people in their family, they created a new neural pathway in their brains upon abusing you. To relieve their intense negative emotions. This has created an addiction. So when you are not around, these cravings don't just go away. Fly monkeys will become angry very quickly around their family members when you are not around. They might create arguments out of nothing. Just so they can have an opportunity to get their rocks off. So this little hobby of stalking and harassing you soon begins to affect every aspect of their lives. It makes them more frustrated and resentful than ever before. It trains their brains into associating relief of their intense negative emotions with abusing or manipulating someone. And whether you are around or not, their cravings to do this are still going to be there. I guess this is their karma. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you.

words at war India India land of mystery and oriental magic the alluring glamour of the notch girls land of the Taj Mahal the fearful conjurations of the snake charmers India where taboo is the law of the land I know you are that's what bothering me really you're doing this all wrong we are I assure you Mr. Costa in the first place that travel log stuff just doesn't go anymore it's outdated besides it's entirely the wrong tone for my book don't believe me we'll have to begin another way well this is your program mr. Nichols how would you like to start well that's very decent of you how would I start it well now let's see yet suppose you take us to a group of Americans who happen to be chatting about India at this moment anywhere you mean through the magic of radio of course exactly oh Charlie will you switch us to the X transmitter we're going to make magic and while you're doing that let's have some theme music the national broadcasting company in cooperation with the council on books and wartime presents another program in the widely discussed series words at war dramatizing the most representative books to come out of this great world conflict tonight's book was written by the English novelist and essayist Beverly Nichols who of course will be impersonated his book is a record of personal observances on one of the most urgent and absorbing problems of modern times its title verdict on India did you make the change over Charlie five now mr. Nichols if you're ready we'll move on to some American conversation where I realized that and we've got to stick together but if you ask me I think the situation in India has a very peculiar order and now you see there's something I can get my teeth into provocative a well what now I tell you what you go over and introduce me to them okay soon a Britain quits India the better it'll be for can I help you well pardon me for interrupting but I'm from the words at war program have a drink no thanks I had that is we happen to overhear your conversation just now and our guests for the evening happens to be a writer who spent some time in India thought maybe you'd like to meet him why sure bring him over mr. Nichols gentlemen may I present mr. Beverly Nichols how do you say wait a minute aren't you the fellow wrote verdict on India yes I am did you happen to read it well sir not me Britain's got too many apologists as it is oh an angle file a better than that my dear sir an Englishman well look here let's not get off on the wrong foot I just wanted to get in on your little chat I I've already overheard something we're a liberty loving democracy mr. Nichols that's right you can't subjugate one fifth of the worst population forever all right you are about that sir oh you agree I do well tell me then what does England expect to do about it well I'm just an Englishman and a writer and I've spent some time in India but I'm not a spokesman for the British government and may I would it be important of me if I were to ask you a question just to get the ball rolling right ahead well a moment ago you refer to India's one tips of the world's population I was wondering if you knew the composition of that population what it's made up of their Indians I guess that's not what you meant well no I I'm just trying to get around to India's greatest problem the endless division of peoples into castes tribes races and states a problem that existed long before an Englishman set foot in India that may exist long after Britain leaves that's what I was getting at now you have any idea of the magnitude of these divisions yeah well only vaguely but I suppose you're prepared to tell us all about it exactly now India's total population is around 400 million that's a lot of money it's not me sure you won't have a drink yes thank you I will I'll meet you thank you the Hindus comprise the largest of the groups 240 million of them so no water a water please next the Muslims 100 million that means 40 million to be divided among the past seas the Sikhs games and Buddhists never heard of them well each of these peoples have their own language their own religion history and customs now let's concentrate on the two largest divisions the Hindus and the Muslims in these two groups you have the basis of the biggest conflict in India if you want to know anything about Britain's position you've got to understand the nature of these two people well they have different religions haven't they yes and a thousand other differences to take Hinduism to begin with what is Hinduism well they have this caste system I know that and there's that sacred cow can't eat meat or anything and the untouchables all right let's start with the separation into castes there are two thousand five hundred castes in Hinduism thousand five hundred each with their own restrictions privileges and taboos at the top of the ladder the Brahmins at the bottom 60 million casteless ones the untouchables and they're the ones I feel sorry for well I'd like to tell you about some of the personal experiences I had in India with this problem of caste it's one of the most shocking things met by the Western mind in the east scene one is a small island off the west coast of India a British subaltern in charge of an Indian training camp has just joined me on the porch of my bungalow oh I drenched how are you coming along Nichols oh trying like mad rise above the heat not succeeding either have a trying day rather trouble with the recruiting hmm aren't they joining up fast enough oh they're coming in fast enough trouble is I have to send them away you've lost me oh boy why do you have to send away look over there standing under that eucalyptus tree those two chats hmm well don't tell me you rejected them they look fine I'll say they do up to par mentally and physically to the best volunteers I've had I had to send them away haven't say why they're untouchables sweeper class oh that's put possible I suppose it is but this is India Nichols India if I took those two men in and have no signs all they need them I accepted them the rest of the men would simply up and quit well all the snow you're getting stirred up oh boy it's one of the things you learn to put up with well I wouldn't put up with well I have to and I don't care to have another Indian mutiny on my hands that's a cool blotted attitude just doesn't make sense to me and just the moment my friends there are other Hindu doctrines besides the caste system which makes progress equally difficult religious superstitions for the most part while I was in India I got a very serious put infection which kept me in hospital for some time strange enough it was there that I learned of many of these superstitions one day for example my Eurasian nurse came into my room obviously upset about something hello nurse something wrong yes mr. Nichols we're having trouble in one of the wards this morning oh I sort of trouble a girl with acute appendicitis she ought to be operated on at once but she won't let the doctor do it until tomorrow well I haven't say why not because this is not an auspicious day it isn't no well what's the matter with today it is not a lucky day in the religious calendar tomorrow is but by then she will probably be dead nurse came in another morning equally disturbed well what's up this morning nurse more trouble yes as you might expect well go up a chair and tell me all about it thank you but I have not time to stay a little boys just arrived with 18 relations who insist on sleeping by his bed well 18 relatives yes parents grandparents uncles aunts and what all three babies howling their heads off besides it'd be funny if it were not tragic this patient is supposed to have absolute quiet why don't you just get rid of oh no no we could not do that if we so much as asked one of them to go they take the boy away and he'd be dead before morning no we couldn't risk that of course with all that uproar the poor thing will probably die anyway 18 relatives chattering and yelling around a dying boy and the picture horrified me too when the Hindu doctor came to see me I asked him about this fantastic custom that Mr. Nichols is a Hindu custom known as the joint family system mm-hmm does everybody get in on no just a direct line of descent the father mother son and grandson together with the corresponding women folk usually they live together under one roof that is why it is called the joint family system joint in food worship and estate and joint in expeditions to the hospital I take it that is all too often the case but then that is really one of the lesser problems with which we have to do the shortage of nurses for example that is a much more serious matter one of the figures exactly do you know I mean the proportion of nurses to population one nurse to every 65,000 Indians Mr. Nichols but why can't you train more again mr. Nichols it is a matter of religion most Indian women consider nursing a dishonorable profession dishonorable why well they feel they would degrade themselves by tending the sick and wounded you see that they would have to minister to patients of all castes certainly is working against odds you know I heard today there are 60,000 TB cases in one city do they know why the TB rate is so high doctor well in my opinion at least 50% of it is due to purta I'm afraid I don't put that is the Muslim custom of hiding the female face or two narrow slits for the eyes a tiny opening for the mouth that is all the fresh air most women ever get seems impossible yes but doctor if this costume is so unsanitary can't something be done about it can't can't they be told it breeds disease I suppose it seems simple enough but actually it is terribly difficult we fight superstition year in and year out but not openly of course it would do no good to offend the religious feelings of the people from what you were telling us mr. Nichols I guess it takes a particular kind of mind and background to understand these people yes it's something the Western mine finds difficult to grasp but you English have been there 150 years you're known by now yes that's right and perhaps you're right gentlemen but when you discuss India you're dealing with one of the most complicated twisted problems about time one tip of the world's population dominated by superstition ridden with prejudice torn by factional warfare the powerful against the weak the gentleman you're looking credulous what is it well everyone tends to use the facts which support his own point of view not that I doubt you mr. Nichols I see you you regard all this is the rationalization of an Englishman so well then it's time we heard from India herself I'll let you hear the words of an eminent Indian leader dr. Ambedkar and yes he's a non-caste Hindu and leader of the 60 million untouchables listen the key note of my policy mr. Nichols is that we untouchables wish to be recognized as a separate element in the national life of India we are not a subsection of the Hindus as Gandhi claims Gandhi says to us trust the caste Hindus but I say that Gandhi and the caste Hindus are our hereditary enemies what do you believe must be done dr. Ambedkar why I want to gather the untouchable minorities from every village and let them establish their own towns places where they will be majorities with their own voice in government this reorganization is a tremendous task and we can only do it if we are allowed and do you believe with the Indian Congress that it is time for Britain to quit India mr. Nichols we are as patriotic as any of the Congress but we do not want Britain to quit India till our rights are safeguarded if they do the fate of the untouchable minority will be worse than that of the oppressed peoples of Europe I've never heard of any Indians wanting England to stay in India yeah I read about it somewhere those my friends are the words of a casteless Hindu not a British spokesman an untouchable who has himself risen from the depths risen about insult and superstition to become the champion of his people maybe so but I don't think he's smart or practical about it any attempt to segregate people is bound to promote isolationism of one sort or another and eventually isolationism breeds distrust and conflict you don't convince easily do you all right I'll bring you the opinion of another Indian a man who is the leader of Pakistan Pakistan what's that I know that's what the Muslims want isn't it yes that is what the 100 million Muslims want here's what it is very briefly they want to establish an independent state in those parts of India where the people are largely Muslim these people want a separate state because they feel they're completely in conflict with the Hindus conflicts of religion customs language wait a minute Mr. Nichols suppose there are conflicts what other people have resolved their differences in other nations why not India well if I answer that question you'll say I'm prejudiced again I'd rather have an Indian bring us the facts this man is Mr. M.A. Jinnah the leader of the Muslim League I first met him on December the 18th 1943 and asked him Mr. Jinnah how would you define the principles of Pakistan in five words Mr. Nichols the Muslims are a nation when you say that are you thinking in terms of religion certainly religion but more than that also our religion Islam is also a practical code of conduct so you see I am thinking in terms of life in terms of our history our art our law please I'd like to write that down of course you see in all these things the attitude of the Muslims is not only different from that of the Hindus but sometimes completely opposed in fact there is nothing in life which links us together our names our clothes our foods they are all different our economic life our educational ideas our treatment of women we challenge each other at every point of the compass what have you written down I am the Muslims are a nation and do you believe it yes I do what other questions do you have Mr. Nichols Mr. Jinnah you know of course the critics of Pakistan claim that the idea was created by Britain in order nonsense in fact it is the opposite which is true what the British have created is the myth of united India a myth that has no basis in flesh and blood a myth that will cause endless conflict for this once at least divide and rule does not apply what you would prefer then is divide and quit exactly mr. Nichols you have put it very neatly let the British divide and quit divide and quit huh well all I can say is the problem of India seems a bit more complicated than I thought yeah but but here's the thing I've learned a great deal tonight but tell me mr. Nichols don't you think the British bear some responsibility for India they've ruled India for 150 years I mean don't you think they've made a few errors here and there Bob over user I certainly do and I'd be the last to deny it and not just a few errors here and there either the British have made blunders of colossal magnitude in India let's look into some of these first the problem of the English personality English yes yes the people who work for the British government in India oh I don't mean all of them to be sure the ones I'm thinking of become famous the world over those ancient figures of Noel coward comedies the buck aside in his men side yelling for Chota pegs at sundown I'll tell you about one of these I was about to board the train and the crullies who had carried my luggage were waiting to be paid after their hard work in the burning sun I didn't have the heart to just pay them without a word of thanks so I turned to the English Colonel it was with me I say Colonel what Indian for thank you oh what old boy thank you I'm afraid I you don't say thank you certainly not that matter of fact will believe there is such a word been in India 30 years never heard anybody say thank you thanks well everywhere I went in India I asked that what is the word for thank you nobody neither the British nor the Indians seem to feel the lack of that word of course there is a rough translation nobody used it that's all you see the British who live in India that Colonel and others like him they don't really live in India at all they're present physically but their hearts are in the Highlands of Piccadilly let's go back to my Colonel on the train I say are you really going to well I done some pretty careful studying yeah I was tempted to say no and if you stay out here for another 30 years you'll still be as ignorant but I didn't instead I said tell me Colonel have you ever seen an Indian movie perhaps but you can get a good insight into Indian psychology from their movies no thank you in all the time you've been here Colonel have you ever spent the night in an Indian village what an odd and crawly thing not really what about friends Colonel in your 30 years here have you had any real Indian friends friends well let me see now I don't see why not quite decent Indians matter back really some quite decent Indians but they call them friends you have it a great vacuous guess a little spiritual isolation in the midst of a continent alive with a conflict of ideas and cultures in this failure to become part of the country only the British ought to blame but there have been worse sins and that of course sins of omission perhaps but sins never the less I learned about this when I went to visit a friend of mine at Delhi he was an official in the department of industry hello nicoes have any trouble finding me well a little I say is this the department of industry yes in the Department of Health and Department of Education too why but I do you mean to say that three government departments are crowded into this one office just another small I suppose but then we we manage you do what what what what you managed to do that's what I came here to find out you know what is your department done for example to promote industrial development in India we're now cotton steel people cementive all grown quite rapidly in the last 20 years what about the heavy industries automobiles shipping armaments not so good there I'm freed you might say well they're more or less stagnated in other words the government really hasn't done much of anything to promote industry here is that not much certainly well here's a figure I'd like to get what percentage of the Indian population is employed in industry about 4% little over 4% after 150 years of rule by one of the most highly industrialized powers in the world 4% doesn't sound very good does it I'll say not what about the Indian Congress has claimed that Britain has done this deliberately purposely kept the country in a state of industrial backwardness you've heard that of course and rather and I'm very much afraid the facts support the charge they were attempts to set up an Indian chemical industry for example but it was scotch by the government and tried to establish a match industry too but it met the same fate competition with British industry well yes yes Nichols something like it yes that interview made me pretty sick at heart but when I listened to an Indian agricultural expert I discovered even worse things you'll see Mr. Nichols what happens to Indian agriculture can affect the condition of a whole country 80% of the people are directly engaged in farming it's a very sad picture I am afraid most Indian farmers live in terms of the middle ages modern farm tools rotation of crops fertilizers all these are unknown as a result the land becomes poorer and poorer with each succeeding year and has the British government done anything to relieve the situation only one thoroughly constructive thing and that is a matter of irrigation the British have constructed here the largest system of irrigation in the world it is a magnificent piece of work truly but the success of it only points up the failure to do anything about the other vital problems not only farming problems either what are you thinking of a social pest mr. Nichols a blood sucker that plagues the Indian farmer from the cradle to the grave that ravages his land and destroys his will banya banya I thought that meant money lender that is exactly what it does mean do you know that the farmers of India pay more to the money lender by way of interest and they pay to the government in taxes interest as high as 50 and 75% yes and the banners are the worst pestilence the Indian farmer has to contend with but I thought there were laws passed laws that restricted the interest to 18% yes but these laws have not been enforced the banya thrives today as always mr. Nichols your willingness to admit some of these force of British rule it's very commendable I think but haven't you left out something what's that well admitting the terrible internal problems of India all of that isn't the true that two out of every 10 people in England make their living from the Indian Empire yes I think Churchill himself said that yes he did you see what I'm getting at I mean Britain didn't colonize India for altruistic reasons it represents a sizable portion of England's national income doesn't it yes you're right about that so right and that brings us to the moral question should Britain quit India in my mind the answer is emphatically yes if the Atlantic charter means anything if the whole war means anything the answer must be yes and equally on moral grounds this yes must recognize the sovereignty of the two great Indian nations the Hindus and the Muslims however it's much simpler to answer that question than the two which follow from it can Britain quit India and will Britain quit India before I left the country I discussed these two questions with a young Indian friend that's what I believe mr. Nichols yes yes not do I believe to that England should quit but surely you don't believe it can be done overnight India would be left almost defenseless from aggression but mr. Nichols if India gains her freedom she's willing may eager to defend herself my dear now do may I ask with what with what will India defend herself with barge poles the sticks and stones and whose fault is that whose fault is it that India is so weak whose fault that we have no Navy no Air Force no munitions factories but don't you see not do these are rhetorical questions it it doesn't matter how you answer them the fact remains all right let's say it's the fault of the British can India defend herself from aggression other nations have developed an army we can do the same of course you can but we are discussing the question of whether Britain can leave India now not 20 years from now and 20 years is the time it would take to create an Indian army well let us come to your other question then it is the one which interests me most tell me will Britain quit India there mr. Nichols there's the question I've been waiting for two what answer did you give to Nando when you come right down to it I guess the whole world wants to hear the answer to that one it's the 64 dollar question all right what do you say mr. Nichols will Britain quit India gentlemen that is the most interesting question and at the same time the most difficult so matter of fact I do not have the answer to it but I know who has to tell us the Indian people themselves within their hands lies the power to fashion an answer which will be a mighty and unequivocal yes because after all is said and done no one is in a better position to solve India's internal problems and her own people her giant clashes of nation against nation cast against cast superstition against progress these great boulders in the path of democracy and well-being when they are removed then Britain will quit India for the time being these are the signs of hope for Indian freedom as every day goes by the Muslim nation opens its eyes a little wider the untouchables raise their heads a little higher and most important of all more light begin to flood the stage the audience you gentlemen here in the millions like you all over the world I begin to realize that the drama of India is not so simple as you once believed tonight on words at war we've brought you verdict on India by Beverly Nichols the radio dramatization was by Edward jurist the cast included Horace Brayham as Beverly Nichols Joda Santis at Bagley William Thornton Bert Tanswell Raleigh Bester Don Morrison and Jackson Beck the music was arranged and played by William meter and the production was under the direction of Anton M leader next week words at war will present the radio dramatization of the secret state by Jan Karski this series of programs is brought to you in cooperation with the council on books and wartime by the national broadcasting company and the independent radio stations associated with the NBC network Jack Costello speaking this is the national broadcasting company
