Coming up on DTNS, an unidentified nation state attacks a top security firm. Google opens up its built-from-the-ground-up operating system, Fuchsia, and the U.S. wants to break up Facebook. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, December 9th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. It's all Lake City. I'm Scott Johnson. And I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. We were just talking about board games, TV shows, and a little bit of trash talk on Good Day Internet. If you'd like to get that expanded conversation, become a member at Patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Amazon updated its Fire TV UI, which includes up to six user profiles, a new home main menu navigation bar, an area for live programming, and new show recommendations. The new Fire TV UI will roll out to the third gen Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite over the next few weeks, and other Fire TV devices early next year. Samsung released teaser videos for the forthcoming Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra phones. The S21 is shown in light purple with a centered hole punch camera and minimal front bezel. The Ultra was shown with a curved screen and quad camera system. Samsung Unpacked is expected to announce these phones sometime in mid-January. Cruise Automation, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary of GM, is now testing driverless vehicles on public roads in San Francisco, California with the goal to secure a permit to launch a commercial service. Cruise says its test will eventually expand its driverless testing area, adding more complicated environments over time, and eventually also remove that safety operator from the vehicle. Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent an email to Google staff Wednesday about the departure of AI ethics researcher Timnit Gebru. Pichai wrote, quote, we need to accept responsibility for the fact that a prominent black female leader with immense talent left Google unhappily. He said they should review the circumstances of her departure and examine where they could have improved it and led to a more respectful process. On Twitter, Gebru points out that the email did not say Google was sorry for what they did to her and calls on Google to take responsibility. Uber announced it will sell its Uber Elevate Flying Taxi business to Joby Aviation. Joby is developing all electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. Joby will use Uber's app to offer air taxi rides as soon as 2023, and Uber will invest $75 million in Joby in addition to the $50 million that it invested earlier this year. Yeah, so if you want our analysis on this story, go earlier in the week, find the one about Uber selling their autonomous driving cars unit to Aurora, substitute Joby for Aurora, and it's pretty much the same situation. All right, let's talk a little more about this big lawsuit, Scott. All right, the US Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit on Wednesday alleging or alleging that Facebook illegally maintains, quote, its personal social networking monopoly, though, excuse me, through a years-long course of anti-competitive conduct. That's a direct quote. Evidence was gathered in cooperation with the attorneys general of 46 states, the District of Columbia and Guam, specifically called out as a anti-competitive practices or as those practices, are the acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp and API restrictions on software developers. The FTC is asking the court to order Facebook to sell off WhatsApp and Instagram. Jeez. Prohibit anti-competitive conditions on developers and require notice and prior approval of future mergers and acquisitions. Similar lawsuit was filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, I believe they say it, joined by the same states and territories. That is a hardcore lawsuit, Tom Merritt. Yes, it is. First, let's just say up front, the chances of them actually getting a court, even if this went all the way to the Supreme Court, to agree to make Facebook divest itself of Instagram and WhatsApp are very low. It's not impossible, but it's low. So don't get too excited if you want Instagram and WhatsApp to be spun out. It's doubtful that will happen. What they'll probably get is some kind of reparations, some kind of fine, maybe a change in business practices. I imagine they could have a good chance of getting Facebook to have to agree to the notice and approval of future mergers and acquisitions. That part does seem likely, but it will be interesting to follow this case and see where it goes because it's a long shot to get this. And so a lot of people weren't sure if the FTC would even bring this kind of charge, that they might go after a smaller remedy, but they're basically accusing Facebook of buying Instagram to neutralize a direct threat in Instagram and make it more difficult for other social networks to compete. Kind of the same thing with WhatsApp. They wanted to neutralize WhatsApp as a threat to Facebook and make it harder for other messaging apps to get in there. That one's going to be real hard to prove though, because we have a lot of competitive messaging apps out there. So it doesn't seem like they've really suppressed the market for that. And then the API thing is where I think you have the most fertile ground to get a court to agree, which is the restrictions they put on third-party developers on what they can and can't do not only on Facebook, but if they use the API. For example, the FTC uses this in their press release. In 2013, Twitter launched Vine, which let users shoot and share short video segments. And in response, Facebook shut down the API that would have allowed Vine to access friends through Facebook. That is an anti-competitive practice. Whether they're abusing their monopoly to do it or not will be the question the court will decide.  A lot of people are like, this is a really big deal because look, the US is going to dismantle Facebook. Instagram and WhatsApp arguably being the prize possessions of Facebook besides its own news feed itself. And like you said, Tom, it's highly unlikely that that's going to happen. Is this going to be tied up in court for another few years? Probably. But does it set standard for how Facebook and any company that would dare to get anywhere as big as Facebook in the future to not be able to gobble up, you know, I don't know, what did they pay? One billion for Instagram back in the day when there were like 13 people working at Instagram kind of thing, because Instagram was big. And Facebook has a history of replicating kind of cool, trendy stuff that works. I mean, look at Reels on Instagram right now. It's TikTok competitor. You know, it's all, it's all kind of the same thing just to see what sticks and has had oftentimes not a lot of success. Buying the company works for Facebook a lot better than trying to replicate some sort of cool feature that then people have to learn to use. You could argue that's why there are big, whether big targets in this because WhatsApp and Instagram are notably gigantic runaway successes. Then they were already heading that way when they were acquired. And you could also argue they got them at a bargain basement price, but maybe that's why they're being targeted. I mean, I hate to side with Facebook and I'm not really doing that, but for devil devil's advocate reasons, I would say, yeah, this is a huge target. They have billions of users on their main service. And then these secondary products are huge for them. And they would be standalone, gigantic companies on their own that we would talk about individually if they weren't already owned by them. So it makes sense that they're the target, but the idea of buying up your competition to limit their impact on your business and grow it out separately isn't new. And they're not the only ones doing this, but maybe they're doing it the most successfully. I don't know. The question isn't just is it a monopoly? It's not enough to say Facebook as a monopoly. You have to say it is a monopoly and it abused its position as a monopoly to reduce competition. Sometimes a monopoly is perfectly legal. It's not illegal in the United States and in most countries to be a monopoly.  And that's where I think they're going to have a problem showing harm. Yes, there isn't another flicker is not doing well. And when they bought Instagram, they sort of dominated the image market. But to your point, Sarah, the reason they keep adding stories and then reels is Instagram is trying to fend off competition from Snapchat and TikTok. So there is competition. There is competition pushing Instagram to change. And I think Facebook can demonstrate that, yeah, maybe Zuckerberg said something unwise in an email once, but there is competition out there. Same with WhatsApp. I mean, there's Telegram and Signal and WeChat and how many other messaging services out there. So I think it's hard to show that they are reducing competition in the marketplaces for those two. That's why I'm less bullish on the idea of them winning over a court to make them get rid of them. On the other hand, the developer stuff, they essentially killed Vine. And I think they might have a better chance of getting Facebook on that one. Do you think that Slack is worth 27 Instagrams? Just to put it in numbers. Slack? Yes, Slack. $27 billion as opposed to a billion. That's what I'm saying. Everything's billions and billions of dollars now. That's like five Star Wars is anyway. I would love for there to be some sort of, okay, let's say we go forward and yes, maybe Facebook is fine, which is likely.  So what do we get to? If you have this X amount of users, you can't buy a company that has X amount of users that is on the up and up or it has to be for not too much of a certain price so that the company doesn't willingly sell to you. I mean, there are so many factors in play. I do wonder how this will shake out. Well, there are laws and these laws will be tested in court now, which is, you can't buy a thing when the only reason you're buying it is to put the competitor out of business. There has to be a valid business reason for buying it. And I think Facebook can show that. I look back at the Microsoft case where they wanted to break up Microsoft. They never broke up Microsoft. They just put in some remedies. And I think, yeah, courts are very reluctant to break up a company. You have to really show that it caused harm. And I just don't see it there. Well, meanwhile, what's that made its own allegations? Okay, sending a statement to Axios after it submitted its information for the new Apple Store privacy labels. What's that quote? We believe it's important. Sorry, we believe it's important. People can compare these privacy nutrition labels from apps they download from apps that come preinstalled like iMessage. Many of Apple's own iOS apps do not have App Store listings. They just come with the phone. WhatsApp also said the labels are not are too broad currently, pointing out that WhatsApp cannot see people's messages or precise location, but must use the same labels as apps that do. Yep, there'll be more on that story foe show. Here's another one. For more than five years, Google's been developing an open source operating system called Fuchsia. We talk about it periodically. Its source code has been downloadable up until now, but Google hasn't spoken about it publicly. So you hear bits and pieces, but you sort of like what's going on with Fuchsia. Wednesday, Google posted a call for developers to contribute to the project. This is the first formal announcement related to Fuchsia by Google itself. The company is opening a Fuchsia bug tracker and created public mailing lists. So taking it seriously, Google also published a public roadmap for development. And finally, there's a Fuchsia emulator that can run on both Mac OS and Linux. Yeah, the folks that the co-executive producer on our level on our Patreon get a bonus show where we look at our lineups from five years ago and talk about it. And not too long ago, a couple months back, we saw the first story about Fuchsia. I don't even know if we knew the name Fuchsia back then. And we were wondering like, what is going on with that? Did that ever come about? Well, here we go. And the other significant thing to realize about this is Google built this from the ground up. Mac OS is a Unix derivative. Linux is a Unix derivative. Windows is from the ground up. Unix is from the ground up. And maybe Fuchsia owes a little bit of its lineage to Windows, Unix or Linux or others. But what Google is saying is we started from scratch. We wanted to build this from the ground up. And Roger, you were talking to us in our pre-show about the facts that they're making it very secure by using a microkernel so that it's probably going to lend itself in the early days anyway to Internet of Things and embedded systems and such like things like that. Yeah. I mean, a microkernel is just a designed philosophy where instead of trying to put like the file server and the rest of it all in one kernel and running it all from the same space, you keep only the bare minimum you need to run as an OS and then you put everything else on a separate level. So if something happens to one of those services and it crashes, it doesn't crash the entire OS. The side benefit is that it gives you more control over those bits and pieces, which lends itself better to security. Doesn't mean it's automatically secure because you still need to monitor and oversight it. But it does also allow it to be a lot more scalable. You can do everything from an embedded OS, desktop PC and mobile OS or whatever. So I mean, what they want to do with it, I think sky's the limit at this point. Yeah. I think this is going to be really interesting to watch. Everybody had been wondering in the early days like, what are they going to do with Chrome OS? But at this point, I think what they're doing with it is saying we want developers to work with it. It's not ready for daily use yet. But if you start filing bugs and get on the mailing list and developing it, we'll start to figure out what it's best at right now. So I don't see this as a replacement for Android or Chrome OS. I see it as something that Google has developed to find out what it's good for because they wanted to play with micro kernels, maybe. I don't know. Australia's Treasurer Josh Freidenberg and Communications Minister Paul Fletcher announced the country's framework for commercial deals between Google, Facebook and news publishers will force the two tech companies to pay to carry links to news articles. That's not the newsy part. The fact that they're announcing that they've figured out this code is what's news. But we knew it was coming. We've talked about it on DTNS before. They want to force Google and Facebook specifically to pay to carry more than just the link and the headline to carry what they call snippets. The code will now account for the value of referrals from Google and Facebook. Before it was just, you want to show it, you got to pay for it. Now the code is going to say, but if they're sending you a bunch of traffic, that's valuable and they shouldn't have to pay. They shouldn't get credit for that against what they pay. Also, Instagram and YouTube will not be included in the code. That was previously not part of this. So there's some exceptions built in and they lessened the requirements for advanced notice to changes in the algorithms, both search algorithm on Google and the algorithm on Facebook for the news feed. The code goes up to a vote next year. So this isn't happening right away. There's a lot of time to react. But both companies have previously threatened to stop operating in Australia if the code is passed into law. We'll see if these changes are enough for them to agree to it. Well, it sounds like it's moving in the direction that's more in favor of Google and Facebook. Because of course, the argument from news publishers is, well, if they're just like adding our snippets and people aren't, you know, clicking back to us and we're not getting our own ad revenue, that's why we're upset. That's why the company shouldn't be allowed to do this. But if traffic is being sent to the news publisher and the news publisher at the end of the day gets a lot more engagement and a lot more hits, et cetera, than they would have already, then the news publisher would more likely be less upset. So I would think that Google and Facebook would be sort of thrilled with this idea that Australia is like, we're going forward with this. But we understand that it's not just a, oh, a snippet means that you're stealing news from a publisher. It's all very relative. Yeah, this whole concept of snippets of data or links being used and having a monetary value slapped on those things at a very fundamental level kind of blows my mind that we're, that we're in that conversation space right now. Like it just seems a little bit crazy to me that, that you would, that we are going to start talking about it that way. Now I understand like if somebody takes content, a chunk of the Daily Tech News show and sticks it in their show and calls it their own, that seems really weird and wrong to me, but having this conversation around whether there should be a monetary value attached to snippets of news, which are clearly pointing to other sources just strikes me as odd in the internet.  To be, to be clear, we have a Creative Commons license. So as long as you attribute it to the Daily Tech News show, you can, you can take all the pieces you want from it. And, and I'm sure this is blowing the minds of Google and Facebook that they're having to deal with this in Australia as well, they, they did set up this code so that the payments still can only go one way. If Google and Facebook are judged to have sent more traffic than the value of the payments was worth, they don't get paid by the publishers, right? Right. They only, they only have to pay. They, they can't make money out of this deal. And I think that's why Google and Facebook might end up objecting is like, well, then what they're going to do is they're going to crunch the numbers. They're going to say, well, a fair system would have us not paying anything. So why have a law in the first place? Our traffic is valuable. That's what they've been maintaining since the beginning. Hey, folks, if you want to join in the conversation in our Discord, you could talk about all this stuff and more with other like-minded folks who are in the Daily Tech News show audience. Just joined by linking to a Patreon account at patreon.com slash D T N S. Security company FireEye says it was attacked and unknown intruders accessed their red team assessment tools. Those are tools it uses to test its customer security. Red team refers to the idea that you have a blue team defending something and a red team trying to break into it. And you do it to test the security, not, not to actually break in, but to find out where someone could break in. These tools could help attackers penetrate other companies and also indicate what kinds of vulnerabilities FireEye does and does not test for. So you can learn something about how FireEye defends other companies if you've got these tools. So it's bad that they were accessed. They could also publicly reveal the tools to try to damage FireEye's business, let all their competitors know what kind of tools they use, but there's no evidence that the tools have been put to use yet and FireEye has already developed countermeasures that can detect and block the stolen tools. Those countermeasures are built into their own protections now, but also publicly available on GitHub. Brandon Hoffman, Chief Information Security Officer at Net and Rich, believes the attackers will most likely use the tools to learn how to cover their tracks while using their own custom attack tools. So they, they get the FireEye tools, they can look at them and go, Oh, that's how they detected we were in there. Okay, great. We can modify our own tool that we think is better to stop them from detecting us next time. The attackers primarily though, we're looking for data related to FireEye's government customers. FireEye says it has no evidence that that part of the attack was successful, but they feel like that's what the attackers were mainly in there for. The only thing they did get were the red team tools. FireEye believes due to the sophistication of the attacks that the attackers were state sponsored, that this was a government behind it. CEO Kevin Mandia said the attackers quote, used a novel combination of techniques not witnessed by us or our partners in the past. He said the methods were specifically targeted at FireEye and executed with discipline and focus. So this wasn't some fly by night script kiddies. FireEye does not have evidence of which government was behind the attack and is working with the US FBI and industry partners like Microsoft to investigate. Yeah. So a couple of things. I mean, first of all, FireEye saying because of this, we can make, you know, our own infrastructure stronger, that's almost always a good thing in these situations. The fact that, yes, if there are government contracts that had sensitive information that state sponsored attack was trying to access and that did not happen, also a good thing. Yeah, we'll see. You know, this is, you know, this is the first, first iteration of what might be a longer story. But yeah, now it's sort of like, who did this? Yeah, Roger said Russia before anyone could even breathe this morning. He's probably right. But I wonder, Roger, why did you say Russia? Why do you think it's Russia? I personally don't think automatically it was Russia. I was just saying like a lot of the stories there are just, Russia was the assumed initiation. I'm always loathe to identify this stuff because everybody always says Russia or China, whether they actually know it or not. Now, granted, they're likely suspects here. North Korea would be another one. Iran might be another one. But honestly, we don't know. And FireEye very responsibly is not saying because they don't know either. Well, it seems like it's definitely not domestic though, right? Like that part seems clear because they, you know, definitely does not feel like it was domestic. Correct. Well, this might be good news. Microsoft officially confirmed in a blog post that it's xCloud Gaming Service will come to iOS in 2021. Microsoft is developing a web-based version of the cloud gaming service that you can access from the browser, quite the rage these days, which avoids Apple's strict App Store rules. Microsoft also confirmed xCloud will come to Windows PCs in 2021 as well. Yeah, so are you pumped? Yeah, I am. They're actually, they're basically doing what Luna Amazon service did to get around the iOS restrictions. And it seems to work quite well. So I'm happy to hear that as an iOS user. But mostly I'm excited about the browser side of things because one thing everyone has is a browser. And quite often the games we're talking about will be games that keep our keyboard and mouse enabled or even a controller connected to that computer, that old laptop, you're not getting a lot of power out of now, but running these really high fidelity experiences given the right internet connection over a crappy laptop is a really, really cool idea and a great way to extend your gaming time. So if you're away or just not in front of your Xbox, your TV, this is great. And this is all stuff they had planned from the beginning. So we're just starting to see fruition of these various aspects of the service. It will put it a little bit more imperative in terms of what platforms you can stream this to in the way Stadia and others do. But yeah, like for me personally, it'll be like, I'm on my notebook, I'd like to check in on this game real quick, run a quick mission, but not have to worry about running it locally. And if that can happen seamlessly, this is another prong in the Microsoft strategy right now that I think is really strong value. So I'm very excited about it as a new Series X owner. I look forward to messing around with this stuff even more. Well, as we inch closer and closer to the end of 2020, which seems like it's been a decade long, but just has been a single year. Think about that for a second. 2020, Google does this every year, every year releases its top trending searches. Now, it's not always the most popular searches because there are just certain keywords like Facebook, whatever they're going to show up at the top of Google all the time. These are terms that saw a big spike in 2020 over the previous year, 2019. Starting with the US, the top trending search term was election results, not very surprisingly, actually beating out coronavirus, which was big, but not as big as the election. Kobe Bryant, sadly, who passed away earlier this year, lands at number three, followed by coronavirus updates and coronavirus symptoms. So coronavirus still very popular. Still very popular, but you know, election you won. Gets less virusy when you look at categories. The top baby search was Elon Musk baby. People were very interested in Elon Musk's baby, followed by baby platypus, ice age baby, and Anderson Cooper baby. So I love that baby platypus and Elon Musk baby are in the same category. That's Elon Musk still number one. Yeah. A few other fairly 2020 US search trends had to do with pandemic, I guess. Top beauty was how to cut men's hair. Had a lot of people at home being like, we got to do something about this. How do I do this? Top definition was WAP, W-A-P, we'll leave it there, access protocol, right? Totally. Yeah, because people are like, I need to make sure that my internet is top notch because I'm zooming a lot from home. The top how to was hand sanitizer. People wanted to know how to make hand sanitizer, followed by sourdough bread and whipped coffee. Ah, top recipes. Yeah, whipped coffee is the Dalgona coffee. Good stuff. Oh, man, I was doing sourdough. I was trying to do a sourdough starter for like a month back there. It did not work. It did not end well. The top where is was, where is my stimulus money? Followed by where is my refund? Where is my refunds was literally the search. Where is my refund? With an S on it? Oh, yeah. I want more than one refund than a bad year. Outside of the US, because, you know, again, searches differ depending on where you live. The top UK search was coronavirus. The top Canadian search was US election. The top Australian search was US election. The top Japanese search was COVID-19 infection. And then dipping out of the top five countries among DTNS listeners, Denmark's top search was Robkiller. That's Ram Kugler. Ram Kugler. Rumballs. So Denmark was just like, let's make some rumballs. Yeah. Yeah. Let's just not even go outside anymore. Let's make some rumballs. India's top search was Indian Premier League. Yeah. Okay. Germany and New Zealand's top search, both coronavirus. And Ireland's was how to make a face mask. Ah, look at the Irish. Oh, look at the Irish. Oh, yeah. Just a power horse of the country, you know? Yeah, absolutely. Always doing it for themselves. So, yeah, you got some, a lot of similar stuff going on this year, but a few curveballs as well. Very, very nice. Maybe the first, well, I shouldn't say the first year. It's one of those years where the similarities are, they do stand out, right? The coronavirus? Something worldwide. Yeah. And you don't always get that. We all kind of talked about collectively. Sometimes you get, sometimes you get stuff that's, well, usually it like, oh, that's a weird thing in the UK. Never even heard of it. But this time it's like, yeah, we all, we all have the same problem. Rumballs was the weirdest one and it wasn't even that weird. All right. Let's check out the mail bag. Let's do it. Rob wrote in nice long email. I'll parse it a little bit, but this was in response to our conversation of cutting the cords. What do you pay for? How many services do you pay for? Does it get weird? Do you end up overpaying overall? Rob says, I already buy several of my subscriptions through my Amazon Prime subscription. I also buy extra channels through Sling. I'm also paying for a lot of channels that I don't give a care about, but I also don't have a week to sit down and sort this all out and make sense of it. The time I save is worth more than the money that I'm spending right now. That's how Rob feels. Rob says, if somebody could make sense of this and bring it all into her single umbrella that didn't require me to spend a lot of time thinking about how to waste my time watching TV, they would get rich very fast. And no, Rob says, it won't be Apple and it won't be Sling. No, it probably won't be Sling. It might be Apple. You may not want to use them, but it might be Apple. They really do want to want to do that for you. But that's why I was talking about platforms are the next wave. Platforms that allow you to bring all the apps together, have one bill. I would look for cable companies to try this. Comcast is already trying to do it by letting you add all these services on to its X1 infinity Xfinity subscription. Amazon wants to do it. Roku wants to do it. So, yeah, Rob, you're definitely diagnosed the problem that they're going to try to solve next. Yeah, I agree with you that. Well, Apple already tries to do this a lot with their searches and stuff. They, they, it's not exactly a one stop thing, but it's the channel thing on Apple TV plus that particularly is aimed towards this. Yeah. And so it feels like all that direction is where they're headed. And I think others are headed. So we'll get there, Rob. It's just, it's going, it's going to take some time for now. I just make sure to cancel what I'm not using and pay for it. I am and it's not bad. Well, thanks to Rob and thanks to everybody who sends us feedback. Keep them coming.

Yeah, this is gonna take a while Does anyone have any questions or anything they want to go over? Yeah, go ahead The red one first. Yeah, put that down and then the other one on top of it. Yes. Thank you No questions So we're waiting for this to drop and go here's the targets. Oh hurry up. Maybe this will happen right now Let's go over the targets If you're still in it Actually, I'll put this exact one here and I'm just putting the dream target Just in case for some reason you would want to For some reason if you want to be in this all day any questions from anyone about anything at all more do Wow, this completely flipped. Oh, this goes Let's go soon It's getting boring watching it This might even have a third trade in it I mean you could you could do this if you did it if you did it once it got out and did it again It got out down there in the drive. You could do you could even do it again 99 but again stop us to be the same You can actually do this three times for today. It looks like I don't like to do that But you could have questions from anyone at all about anything That's at all about today about the week about the month here goes nice calling SFM I definitely think that November was very similar to October. This is for the room members as far as Conviction goes Who was it? Who was it talking to the other day that said? Oh, it was less less. Are you here? Here if you signed out less setting needs help with his conviction so And I think you do too gal ahead.  Yes We there's gots for many reasons You have gaps for earnings. You've gots for other things. So we'll be doing non earnings gaps in December I don't know what like this today was a non earnings gap. This was worth watching This was worth watching this could have worked But it didn't but it didn't rate over 20 remember to but it could have it didn't So we're gonna be doing gaps in December and there will be some earnings and there will be some non earnings You think after tith and SFM that helps your conviction Good very good. Yeah, you had a good day yesterday and hopefully you will today too Those thousand dollar days when you're new definitely help your conviction. There's nothing like helps your conviction But besides green green helps Consistent green here SFM and by the way, there's a time and a place to be aggressive as well So this warranted being aggressive today, but not everything does tifted to you could have even taken more tip yesterday like a hundred times I mean it was just the benefit though of being in the room Jackie is that you don't and less is in here But I'll say this again next week You just listened to me I'm the conviction for you so that's the benefit of being here until you Until you feel what that feels like when averages VC That's it and I don't really do anything with them. I mean, they're just they're here They're on here, but my charts are very very clean Just simple moving averages and the candle sticks and of course the moving price But the candle sticks depict the moving price Let's see if there's anything going on. I'm gonna I'm gonna quick Google about the summit here Like, you knew yesterday that tip would not back up. Well, that was good Jackie Mimi needs a great Christmas month Let's just see if there's any news about this somebody thing. Oh GMD we can look at that. I didn't really like that. Let's let's see what that did New York Attorney General opening investigation into Mario data breach and that's stocks rally. That's hilarious See, that's why you don't you don't you don't you don't base what you're doing on the news or whatever the earnings say because to me that sounds horrific and It's the stocks rallying. So it's crazy here SFM But that isn't good For them. All right, let's just look up here about the summit Everything's like two hours ago. Nothing new Nothing new on the summit Steven's done Steven. You didn't do it a second time. That's fine comes with listening I'm not going to go over that in depth. We're here today, BC I go over that in the class because I'm in a trade right now. I'm trying to focus on that If I have time today, we'll do a little teaching, but I don't think we're going to it's this is turning out to be kind of a late day Again, you could have got out here and been we could have been done in 935 So bottom line is that some people were and very often we are I could have been done here too But I chose to hold it through. I think this is going to have a bigger move I believe that it's going to for sure and we decided to take more But we could be in this hurdle 1030 and I don't want to get distracted But I go over that in the class I go over all the indicators in the class But that's not really the meat potatoes. The meat potatoes is the points It's the points and not only that getting the entries And I didn't hesitate to hit this out of the gate today either Nope, it's going to take a little bit longer 1012 and we're waiting on this this has got to break really 2275 and with feeling Again, if you have to go you could get out of in here I just still think there's another drop off here before we turn around I'm seeing I'm I see Some time in the month of december a massive gap up that occurs in the market That's I you know and to me what is big is different to other people, but that's what I'm seeing It's just it's going to happen overnight though. I know it Yeah, so this again, you don't make decisions based on news or what the earnings say because look at this Look at that This definitely worked. We never would have done it way too thin and traded strange and just bizarre So this we're waiting and this is good and this looks great and this is fine. It just got to hurry up Look at what we have out coming out monday. I don't know if there's anything of interest Uh, but you know mondays are typically slow So I will check it out Monday's december 3rd Oh, we do have one thing in the morning here.  We do have one thing monday morning In fact, let's look at the whole week Dg is next week hts was next week Rh is next week told the home builders O is next week hrb lulu some of the retailers are next week too Ulta is next week. Wow. We haven't done that and age isn't big There's a lot next week and they're all earnings. So I don't know what they do But I'm just saying Let's look at f n s r This is monday morning No idea what this does, but we'll watch it I'll watch it. I'll read it That's all we can do. Let's look at ulta because I haven't looked at that in a hundred years This is next week This wow. I have not looked at this in a while. I didn't know that made new highs recently So that is next week too Wow that really flipped around fast from where it had dropped off You can't lose conviction if one thing you like doesn't work and I think that's the problem And then what happens is then people start to have conviction and nothing It's the same way with even taking classes. I've noticed talking to people that are thinking about doing my course They did a class that didn't learn anything Then they lose conviction. They can never learn anything in any class Then they do another class and they don't learn how to trade or make money Then again, they lose even more conviction than nothing works But I mean, you know Common sense tells you that there are things that work and also common sense tells you that there are many trades that work so You can't lose conviction just because everything doesn't work And sometimes you make bad decisions Sometimes you take a bad trade and you shouldn't have taken it And that's not the that's not the stocks fall That we shouldn't have done the market the other day In the end it didn't matter because I don't think I would have done anything that day at all I wouldn't have I wouldn't have done any trades. So in the end it all evened out for me, but I shouldn't have done that trade This is a good trade. Yesterday was good day before was good here sfm By good, I mean solid I think we get this down a dollar There's a cost. There's a cost to get ahead There's just there's just a cost There's just there is a cost to attaining what you want The cost is real money financial the cost is time, which is very real Time that you're not doing fun stuff time that you're not sleeping Time that you're thinking Mental and emotional energy is a cost To if you have lofty goals, whether it's to be a trader or do something else with your life If you want to make a lot of money, there's a cost. There's always a cost people are Absolutely in la la crazy land if they don't think there's a cost And the cost is big. It's money. It's time. It's Emotional it's it's everything It doesn't have to take a long time, but it is going to have a cost You can take a short time or can take a long time But it will have a cost and you will never get there wherever you want to get without the cost so Sometimes people aren't willing to pay the cost sometimes they are But know that if you're not willing to pay the cost you'll never get there I think you just get to a point You decide you want to do something and you move forward and you just don't stop till you get there And that's pretty much what I did with trading and pretty much what i'm doing now with tv I mean if I go back and rewind since I started this tv thing and add up the cost It's astronomical So you just don't do it you say, you know what there's a cost i'm willing to pay it And i'm going to i'm going to keep going till I get there and that's the end of the story and i'm not I'm not going to stop till I get there. So there's always a cost Slow and steady wins the race. I fast is fine fast is good, but i'm saying no that there's a cost That thing keeps stopping. I don't know why we're waiting 10 20. This has got to get going I have a conference call on the phone at 10 45. This has exactly 35 minutes to drop To work with my schedule. I think it goes before then but 10 10 30 Not i'm going to be in it and have to close out the room and you're going to trade it on your own If you're in this and you're up You're up We're waiting here Maybe koala bear. Maybe What's everybody doing for new year's eve? Have you figured it out yet? You got to plan it in new york earlier You don't get in anywhere here 22 75 74 71 here it goes Yay This all day 62 Anyways, I got an email about a new year's eve thing at mando and oriental, which I love it's two nights Champagne this that dinner at the restaurant then the ballroom the other night. Of course, I don't have the price So I'm like, you know, I'm not going to go alone And none of my friends will ever spend the money and anything like that, but I could go alone. Anyways, I wanted to call this to the price I'm like, I just want to see the price of this because sometimes I'm going to do it Some year I will do that and so I called And she said they're all they have no more reservations are all booked up. I said wait a minute I just got this email five minutes ago Why would they send an email out and say that they had a reservations available if they have if they don't have any Well, it's you know, you have to call during the day between eight and five and maybe they do blah blah blah I said, well, just tell me what the price was even if they had one just give me I just want to know I just want to know the prices And she said $2,700. I said $2,700 For the package or 27 no $2,700 per night. I was rolling So $6,000 $6,000 for two people and that's why I love New York And I will always love it.  I said, well, what do you see from the ballroom up there? Because I don't think you see Times Square. She said you see Central Park fireworks Well, I see Central Park fireworks from my apartment So for not seeing the ball drop In the in the ballroom, I do think that that is pricy. I mean, it's a pricy hotel I'm sure the party is fabulous though the party itself is probably fabulous but You know the food drinks and everything but it's like and I'm sure it's really fun and they have music but You don't see the ball. You're not going to see the ball from up there It's too far away. It's too far uptown It's 59th the ball's on I think 40 45th, I think is the ball No, 42nd. Maybe the ball is is the ball right on 42nd? I don't know. It's too far away But I did think that was pricy because you don't see the actual ball drop But you see the fireworks in Times Square 61 what should we do here?  Should we hold the whole thing 10 24? What should we do? You could even go to a fabulous vacation in disney world for $6,000 at the state of the floridian. I mean Food everything probably even staying like a sweep jackie says you're staying until 10 30 It's only five minutes away. All right. Here we go. I lowered the stop.  Santa Fe For New Years. Is that where you're going to go Jiro?  Do they even have such a thing other monkeys in england? Here under 65. Well, we deserve this. This is taking all day now We deserve it all Jiro wants to be in an airport for New Year's Eve That's what it takes is you have cheap flights when you fly out on the New Year's Eve. Is that why? I would imagine so Jackie's going to philippines for a wedding That sounds like fun All right, looks like we do we might get this through the low by 10 30. We got four more minutes left We're waiting. I don't think this backs up if you want to get out here You can if you want to hold it you can if you want to get out a half here You can or you did it before it got out and didn't do it again I do not want to be in this all day. I definitely know Jiro was talking about Santa Fe.  I've never been there, but I almost went. I lived in arizona. Supposedly Santa Fe, New Mexico is beautiful I would I would like to gather someday. Hey, we've been talking all morning about the holidays and we want a christmas trade So 22 65 sfm And it's hanging here like it wants to die Was it beautiful jarra? Santa Fe, any other questions from anyone? Good day today. Good solid day. Hope everyone did it And we'll see what happens here right now Sunday's the last day if you want to re-sign up for the room for those of you that are your room subscriptions Expiring the end of the year and your options won and last day to sign it for the class for the cyber special Where you get the room free for a year Jiro said it Santa Fe was fantastic. That's good to know Here it goes. This is it. You could tell there it was just hanging Here it goes This is completely on its own too. What a nice call What's tiff doing? This is still lower, but again, you got to be out of this Galahad, did you add to this today? Were you aggressive or not? Hope everyone did it and did it well Hey, good for you. Galahad. How much you up? Here it goes under 60 There's only one negative thing about this today was the size of the stop initially But you know, what are you going to do? I kept this in the tree It was the right thing to do and you can't fudge it. You just can't fudge it. So sometimes we're small sometimes are big Sometimes it's worth taking more risk because the gap's so good and we knew that here today So, you know, it was a fine, but it was the only thing about this that I didn't expect the stop to be what it was, but It's money worked 1030 hurry It's doing the same thing here now at 60 that I did at 65 I didn't wish you could move a stock. I wish I could just like short 5 000 more shares here and just move it But it wouldn't move in an inch It wouldn't move it a hair I wish I could just Short 10 000 shares and make it drop right now, but it wouldn't even move it Do you ever feel like that sometimes? Oh the Christmas Barbie. I didn't show you people the Christmas Barbie here Maybe Barbie will bring us good luck and this will go quick

Yeah, good morning coach morning. Happy new year. Yeah, happy new year you too, sir Hey, how do you stop Josh Allen? Just get right to the point here. Don't let him get off the bus By the way, I know right But for your guy You know, you were up a little bit, but I'm sure you've seen his development What makes him so dangerous as a dual threat quarterback? Well, he's a big guy. He's just really talented. I mean he guy can run he's hard to bring down. He's big. He breaks tackles You know, he's got a strong arm. He can throw every ball. He can throw it 75 yards I mean, he just a just a extremely extremely talented talented young man Thanks coach Mike Ross team Hey, hey Dean, how are you doing? Happy new year? Same to you. Thanks. I want to get we talked a bit about Richie Grant a couple weeks ago And I want to jump back into that a little bit of in a bigger Kind of macro sense Where do you think the steps need to happen for him from year from this year to next year? He's got the system now. He knows it in the offseason He's got to study it watch a bunch of film on what happened this year and just take it to a new level Hey, he needs to spend time in the offseason Studying the film and all that kind of stuff. He's got the physical tools It's more about just knowing the system lurking at it and not just looking at him looking at the hole every down Here's the call. What do we do? It's not just studying yourself. That doesn't really do you good You got to study, you know when we did it right when we did it wrong. Who did it? It's just you got to study the system and get it down so that it's it's second nature to him and where is take quangra maybe Improved or taken steps to where he's become more of a part of it looks like the defensive rotation Or some of that just injury or in this case, I guess COVID situation for you guys No, he's he's been the guy that we felt like Early on he started developing. He was playing good. So we wanted to get him in the rotation We didn't put him in there just to gain experience We put him in there because he was playing good enough and we had a bunch of guys that were probably pretty equal So we just kind of rotated them all he's got to do the same thing All these rookies got to do the same thing in the offseason if they want to be and develop next year And take another step. They need to study the film. Like I said, it's not just of them It's of how you do it and what it's done right and what it was done wrong Why it was wrong and just really get the whole system down So, I mean for you and you feel in your defense, it's more of a from year one year two with these guys It's much more of a maybe a mental thing than Then anything that you've seen from them physically when we're the other well They had no idea coming into this season and what we were gonna run They didn't have any idea what we were gonna call stuff what we were gonna run well now they do, you know And so now they it's got to become second nature to them. They got to know exactly This is what I'm this is what is expected of me on this call Sometimes, you know, they knew it, but they didn't do it and maybe they didn't do it because they've seen something for the first time But now when you got 17 games under your belt, there's no excuse for you and in a whole season in the offseason There's no excuse if you're a pro you're gonna take that stuff and you're gonna study it and you're gonna become better And the last thing I've got is do you know Jones when he was talking to us on Monday, you know Explain more of kind of what he's been really asked to do this year What was it that you saw in him that maybe had him more of as he put it a guy on the edges versus being the guy in the middle? Well, the thing of it is the guy in the middle is a guy It's gonna take on a heck of a lot of blocks by linemen and full backs if there is a full back But a lot more of the direct hits, you know, he's not a real big guy. He's a fast guy He's a very athletic guy for he's a bigger guy, you know, he's a I think he's a fast athletic guy, too But I mean the deans game to me has always been when I watched him before and when I watched him in college And when I still watch him, he's a fast guy that's talented that can cover a lot of ground make tackles do that kind of stuff But he's you know under 220 pounds You don't want to be taken on 320 pound linemen all the time and big tight ends and all that stuff You don't you don't want to put a guy in that position. That's hard So that's what we've that's why we thought like he was gonna play the position. We wanted him to play Appreciate it. Thank you, Dean Josh Hey, Dane, do you have a do you come down one side of the other on whether whether an adverse weather game Impacts the offense or defense more or helps one side more than the other. I really don't Because you know, everybody talks about well, you know a bad weather game will help the defense Well, you know your back pedaling As a D-50 back not running forward and then you got a plan at some point in time and change direction Well, that's not a little fun on a bad field or a wet field or icy field or anything like that That's hard to do. It's easier to run forward at the same time. I think it's just as hard on offense They got to go out and run around and make a cut and I don't know that there's any advantage one way or the other I don't think there's any if that were the case every team that's down south goes up north would never win and every team down Up north going down south and the heat would never win guys that play indoors would never win outside guys that are outside We never went inside. I don't think it has any bearing on it whatsoever. I think it's all how you prepare and you play that day Does it ever get to the point that it affects the way you would call a game or how extreme would it how extreme would it have to be? Absolutely the wind has more of a factor on it than that does the rain or the snow We played up in Buffalo one year when I was at New England and it was like 40 mile an hour winds and we basically I played one coverage and Really told the the defensive backs If they were pointing on the right side to play inside the numbers and cover three enough there I'll plan on the left side play outside the numbers because the thing of it is that had a crosswind You couldn't throw the ball outside. You couldn't get it there. I mean you couldn't get there And so there's no sense in playing wide out there If the guy can't throw it out there and then on the other side the ball is going to carry when he throws it It's gonna really kind of probably carry higher and kind of and farther so you want to play outside So yeah, there certainly is factors and especially in the back end and coverage especially on the wind not Not necessarily ice or snow or rain But you know Hey looking New England when they played Buffalo a couple weeks ago what they throw the ball two times in the first half About three or four times for the whole game Well, they definitely not gonna even not gonna let the quarterback throw it because the wind had a big factor So I'm sure Buffalo being smart said, okay We're not gonna sit there and play all these exotic coverages because we don't need them because there's no there's no Sense in playing them because he's not gonna throw the ball Thanks, Dave. Yeah, you're welcome Scott Hey coach You guys have used a lot of different people in that in that slot spot and a lot of people of different sizes and skill sets How is that impacted the way that you like to run the defense? Has that had any impact at all? It's had a lot of impact You know, that's not generally what I really like to do I generally if you look at all the old film of Baltimore or Tennessee of New England If Isaiah was here, he'd still be in a slot I'd rather have one guy in there where I can do all the stuff then try to piecemeal Certain guys can do certain things certain guys can do other things It's not gonna be hard for an offense to watch the film and say, okay, if this guy's in the game Here's what they're really trying to do if this guy's in the game Here's what they're trying to do you want you need to have a guy's like the safeties You know and everybody so you want this corner to do that and this corner didn't know you want both of them to do it equally Well equally the same thing so that they can't pinpoint Okay Well if if 21 is down in the but he's always gonna be down in the box safety and this guy's always gonna be the high safety This corner is always gonna go match up on the best receiver This guy is not he don't the perfect world for us is that you want to right and left safety You want to right left corner? I want a nickel a nickel and that's what we want and so we haven't been able to do that because of whether it be injuries and just Certain guys and not been able to kind of do certain things that we need to do so we've had to switch them out But I that's not what we prefer. I know that you're that you're on to the bills But if we go back to the last game that the game stealing interception like what did you see from that play? And what did you like about how he was able to make that pick after that sudden change? Well, the biggest thing is first of all It was great to get a sudden change and come off the in that two-minute deal and get the win But the thing I like the most about it is the fact that the guys they just did what the defense called for him to do We were in man coverage and yet foyer. He's not he's a guy That's a free guy and he's the one guy's playing zone Everybody else is playing man and he's to read the quarterback and that's where he's supposed to go And he did exactly what he's supposed to do he dropped right where he's supposed to drop He read the quarterback and he picked it. It's just it's great to see a defense executed the way You know, it's drawn up to execute and so I was very proud of all of them I thought they all did a great job on that and the other thing is is Dante Fowler don't go unnoticed Had a little pressure in the quarterback space You know, he had a good pressure rush on that that thing so everybody did their job and it came out good You guys are on a a bit of a streak and in in terms of getting Takeaways is there anything that you've seen where you guys have been better in that area Did you think that you guys are better? Taking the ball better and we're just I think we're more comfortable doing the stuff that we're asked to do I just it's still a long ways from where it needs to be. I mean, we don't have nearly Enough takeaways not nearly enough. We don't have enough sacks. We run enough takeaways we got to get better in that area in the future and But at the same time we have gotten better especially on the takeaways I think just because we're learning the coverage is more and more and feeling more comfortable That's the way it always is. I mean, you know, we were Really good at Baltimore and takeaways for a couple years that we had over 20 picks two year two or three years in a row But prior that we didn't but the more you play the system the more you feel good about the Coverage is the target, you know, everybody still just got to realize it's the first year for all these guys in this system And I think that they they're gonna take a lot of that to heart in the offseason next year And and we should be a lot better or not then it's my fault Thank you. Yep Chris rim Was my hand up. I'm good Okay, Dila, do you have a follow-up? Yeah, coach. Um Just the running back single Terry and Moss where some problems they present for you, too Well, they're just good hard runners and what I really see the problem is that they fit the system that they run all this RPO stuff, you know, the quarterback is still the guy that drives this offense Whether he's running or whether he's throwing it But it sets up the running game and these guys do a great job in this running game of being able to run that RPO system they just fit it, you know, I think they've done a great job Sean and and Daybowl they've done a great job of getting guys to fit the system that they want to run and hey, that's why they're having success Thank you. All right Michael Yeah, hey Dean. This is a bit Kind of off general topic here, but you've coached in a few different Super Bowls. I'm curious Is there a different level of anxiety pregame or a different feeling pregame that you get as a coach as a coordinator when you're When you're going to a Super Bowl versus other games Yeah, but you know, there's two there's two thoughts on that Roy is that the thing about it is is that you kind of got two weeks there To prepare yourself for it. It's not like all of a sudden you're turning around and playing the next week You really kind of have everything kind of down the week before you go so that when you go You're not really putting anything in you kind of got everything all set you go You have media day that is kind of like You know, you don't do a whole out on that day other than the media and then the next day You know, you're back into it, but all the game plan is already set So it's not like you're staying up late that week before the game Hadn't who put stuff together and thinking of a bunch of ideas You really kind of got them all done the week ahead I will say this though the very first Super Bowl that I went to with with New England Bill Balachek did an incredible job of talking to the players because they had already just been the one that you even a year before and two years prior to that of telling the guys in the pregame don't go out and Get all hyped up and spend all your energy in pregame because it's a Super Bowl Guys go out there. They're all amped up and all this stuff and they're all excited and they're going 110 miles an hour in pregame do your normal routine He really emphasized that and I always thought that was an advantage that his teams had because he kind of had him toned down And you see other teams out there just jumping around going crazy And and yeah, they look good for about the first two series and about the third series half of them are hyperventilating because they They've spent all their energy in pregame and at the start He always did a good job of keeping everybody calm and staying your routine. I just thought he did a great job at that For you personally was there any Anything extra anything added in terms of like that type of jitters or anxiety or anything like that Well, the first one I was a linebacker coach So I wasn't a coordinator So I think I had a little bit it was a little easier on me because I wouldn't call on the defenses or wasn't you know What the only stress was I just want to make sure my linebackers played okay I was pretty good with Vrable and Willie McGinnis and Bruce. Yeah, I felt pretty confident with those guys But then the ones when you're the coordinator. Yeah, it's a little different. I mean, hey Anybody tells you there's not a lot of stress on you in the Super Bowl, especially the one when we were 18 and 0 You know, you know one of the you know one we were unfortunately, but yeah, hey It's you're there's a lot of stress.  How did you deal with that? You just got to deal with it.  I can't I can't call in a reliever. So it's just you You just do you just kind of try to calm yourself down You just got you got to believe in the game plan you put together that that's the key to me is That's the advantage of having two weeks is because you put the game plan together like what you know We practice today. Hey, hopefully this stuff that we practice today You're gonna work on Sunday the good thing about Super Bowl is I practiced it today But a Super Bowl wouldn't be played for another week So I practice it the same stuff another couple times to make sure it works So, you know, you only get so many reps in a practice when you go Super Bowl You really get double the amount of reps So you feel you just got to feel confident in what you're gonna What you're gonna do and what you're gonna call and how you're gonna call it and you don't feel confident in it And that's gonna that's that's not a good feeling. So Unfortunate that way appreciate it. Happy new year again, man. Yeah, same to you guys. Happy new year I'm good. Thank you, Dane. Happy new year. Thank you

The signal oil program the whistler at whistle is your signal for the signal oil program The whistler whistler and I know many things for I walk by night I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak Yes friends, it's time for the whistler rated by independent research the most popular West Coast radio program Remember that every traffic signal remind you with new signal gasoline You do go farther than ever look for the familiar big yellow and black circle sign That identifies those popular signal service stations in seven western states from Canada to Mexico And now the whistler strange story Boomerang It's been three months now since the career of the doorbell killer ended in a blaze of newspaper headlines announcing the execution The case was a strange one. Some thought his motive was robbery. Some thought otherwise, but no one ever knew for sure But the most important feature of the case wasn't mentioned in the headlines It doesn't even appear in the police record during the accounts of the trial It will never appear anywhere Because the only two people who know that aren't in a position to testify It's the story of Amy Clark and the husband named Ralph who grated on her nerves at first He merely bored her but after a while her boredom subtly changed into something more Dangerous she found herself trying to find a way to leave Ralph Without leaving the comfortable home the healthy bank account and the insurance policy and oddly enough The rise to prominence of an unfortunate individual labeled the doorbell killer by the tabloids had a direct effect on Amy and her problem It started one morning as Ralph sat at breakfast going through his usual routine with a newspaper Give me a little more coffee. Will you honeyvine? Look at those headlines Wonder if they got that guy yet That's enough Holy smoke. He's done it again. Second time. Listen fleeing from the scene of his second murder a man alleged to be the so-called doorbell killer Fired two shots at a patrolman in the Twin Oaks district last night at 11 o'clock Then eluded the police dragon that around the area Well, good Lord Amy Twin Oaks. Well, that's just over the hill Patrolman Joseph Grimes had seen the man acting suspiciously on the porch of a house at 320 Green Street He was unaware that within the doorway lay the body of Mrs. Mildred Norris Slayer second victim Evidence indicates Mrs. Norris like her predecessor answered the door only to meet a similar fate Amy You've got to be careful who knows what this guy's gonna do next So you tell him you'll be careful Amy and he gives you the usual dutiful peck on the cheek Turns in the hallway at the exact spot. He always turns and you wait for it Well, so long honey bun. Don't take any wooden nickels. See you in the funny paper How many times have you heard that one Amy and how many times must you hear it again? You think about it all day as you go through your routine and finally in the afternoon You get a chance to relax by the radio Patrolman Grimes reported that all he could see of the killer was a dim shape a heavy-set man about six feet tall Walding over a low stone wall in the distance a small metal tie class bearing the initial R found near the scene is a possible Clue to the criminal's identity Chief of police Henderson suspects the killer is a familiar figure possibly a resident of the Twin Oaks neighborhood Since in both cases he was apparently recognized and accepted by the victim who opened the door It's more than just an unpleasant news item with Twin Oaks just over the hill isn't it Amy? That night Ralph comes home a little early before dark and you notice he's carrying his 38 pistol There's an unhealthy suspicion through the neighborhood a feeling that perhaps your next-door neighbor might be the guilty man Ralph is tense and worried through dinner and afterwards during the usual routine with the evening paper He skips his customary comments on the stock market Well according to this they couldn't find the bullet but in the size of the nick of the patrolman's leg They figured was a 38 I Don't care what you say Amy I'm still gonna pack this little pistol of mine and if that bird ever shows up around here I'll have the welcome all ready for Stay where you are Amy. I'll go to the door I'll give this guy the surprise of his life What do you want? Well, I'm Haley evening bulletin working with Chief Police Anderson on the doorbell case Just checking the neighborhood. Oh, it's good to know the police are on the job You seem to be on the job too. Hmm? About 38. Oh, yeah, I'm not taking chances. Yes, I understand Got a permit I suppose sure What's your name Ralph Clark? How long you've been in this neighborhood for three years? Why yeah, Amy.  No Well, were you at nine o'clock last night? Now wait a minute. Mr. Haley. Did you say you were a reporter or a police investigator? I told you I'm working with Anderson. Isn't that good enough? No, you better run along Haley I've answered enough questions The chief of police has any more in mind tell him to send one of these men in uniform any particular reason, mr. Clark Yeah, one reason and a good one I have no intention of standing at the front door telling my life history to any reporter who happens to come along Okay, mr. Clark keep your door locked and be careful when you open it. That's all That's when you began to think about it Amy as you stood back at the kitchen door and watched Ralph talking to Haley The man from the evening bulletin Ralph was jittery almost suspiciously jittery. Wasn't he standing there answering questions? The gun in his hand Later that evening when the doorbell rings again I'll go Mrs. Gibson that gun. What are you? Well anything wrong with the gun? No, but I all right Maybe if more people had guns these things wouldn't happen What are you doing out this time of the night? Well, I just came to borrow a cup of sugar from Amy Come on in We're just a minute George, it's all right George. I have mr. Gibson watch from the window Funny time to be borrowing sugar if you ask me is Amy. She's in the kitchen.  Oh Of course, mr. Clark. I'll only be a minute. I'm sorry.  Gibson didn't it Amy nervous jumpy rude to her of course It's fantastic. You admit that But it's something to think about anyway and perhaps a remark or two to mrs. Gibson the next day is Both of you go outside to hang up the washing just a suggestion a remark that slips out accidentally Mrs. Gibson after all is always interested in her neighbors She might see fit to pass it on Here's your mail mrs. Gibson couple of magazines to thank you post Sorry, I jumped you rang the doorbell. Oh, I'm getting it from everyone these days I swear my husband George is gonna break down if this business keeps up much longer That awful man still at large Hello, mr. Clark. How are you mrs. Gibson? Very well. Thank you. I say yeah I wanted to apologize for the way I acted last night that I was sort of on edge and I see worried about Amy and all and you know how it is with this doorbell man running around the neighborhood well, I Better be getting home to Amy See you later home early 80. Yes Yesterday too very jumpy Do you think so you seem to be You know, I think the worst part of the whole affair is what the paper said about the man being a resident around here About him being recognized by the victims just before yeah Can't trust anybody you're right at that for example That tie clip with the R on it, huh? And even be him Ah for Ralph. Oh, well, I don't know he couldn't it Six feet tall heavy set lots of people are six feet tall heavy set and carry guns Same kind of gun the killer carries. Huh? He has one. He was carrying it right now I could see the bulge in his pocket. Oh now mrs. Gibson. It might have been something else. It's a gun Amy told me this morning. You don't say a 30. Yes Says he's carrying it on the count of the night first Mmm Oh, no, no, you can trust me Amy said he began acting queer just before the first one happened Says that lately it's gotten so he scares Told me so just this morning You couldn't miss it could you Amy a heavy set man six feet tall the initial are the 38 pistol The announcement by the police that they would shoot on sight But even so it's still an experiment. There's nothing solid enough to count on yet But three nights later after the gossip has had a chance to circulate around the neighborhood Something happens that is solid That's the night you and Ralph go over the hills to Twin Oaks to the walkers for bridge The 10 o'clock Harry Walker comes in from the kitchen. Sorry folks. The bartenders up a stump Yeah out of ice The old refrigerator ain't what she used to be and guess we'll have to take more home.  You mean they got refrigerators in your neck of the woods. Why not? No, no, no forget it Ralph old boy and another.  Hey, wait a minute Harry. Isn't there a nice machine down the street a couple of blocks? There isn't that forget all about it. I'll get down. No, no, let me Harry. I've been wanting to get some air So Ralph leaves for the ice machine and because it's warm in the house you walk out on the porch and stand in the shadows Yes, it's still an experiment You'd notice the kind of forced cordiality toward Ralph at the party a subtle undercurrent that would never penetrate that thick skin of his Nothing subtle ever did then as you stand there thinking You notice a man walk up the stairs to the porch of a house a few doors up the street There's a pause the door opens. There's a sudden movement the flash of a knife Wait a minute everybody wait You may as well sit down. Did you see it Harry? Just over there. Yeah, but did you yes? I saw her She's right where he left her the police are in there now That don't know they can Looks like a party who's the host I am I'm Haley evening bulletin What's your name Harry Walker? Well, is it a party? Yeah, I had a few in for bridge Well friend, I'd sent him home if I were you and tell him to stay there the rest of the night not that doors They all here yeah, I think so Hello, Harry. Oh boy. Well, here's your ice man 25 pounds Darn machines haywire slam the ice on my finger. I got a little blood on it. What's the matter with everybody? With the prologue of boomerang the signal oil company brings you another strange story by the whistler But first I want to thank all you friends who helped make January the biggest month in all of signals 14 years of growth Bigger even than pre-war mid-summer months when travel sent gasoline sales soaring Yes, the recent swing to signal has been terrific And I think I can tell you two reasons why the first is that great new signal gasoline in which chemists Actually rearrange the atoms in gasoline molecules to create amazing new power Power that makes today's vintage model cars feel young again with quicker starting faster pickup Smooth anti-knock performance even when you're taking the steepest hills and high Power that gets so much extra efficiency from your motor you actually go farther than ever with each gallon of new signal gasoline That'd be reason enough. Wouldn't you say for today's swing to signal? But there's another equally important reason If you're already trading with a signal dealer, you know it. If not, I'll be back later to tell you about it but for now Back to the whistler. Well, Amy that did the trick didn't it? Changed it from a vague idea in the back of your head from an experiment and creating Suspicion to a solid plan to end your marriage in such a way that you'll manage to hold on to Ralph's house His bank account and the insurance policy Somehow Ralph manages to explain it to the police shows them the defective ice machine Convinces them. He actually did cut his finger when the ice dropped down But the suspicion remains Much stronger than before in the town is aroused to such a pitch by the third killing in Twin Oaks But the police and the people are ready for anything The next day after Ralph has left you visit chief of police Henderson and a few minutes later See her chief. Yeah, I saw her. She's out there now. What about it? I don't know sometimes. I think she knows what she's talking about Sometimes I think she's just a dizzy dame who's got the jitters like everybody else. What are you gonna do? I don't know. I checked the neighbors. They seem to think she's on the beam The papers are screaming for an arrest mayor called me this morning. I think you've got a case. I don't You know, it's funny. I had a feeling Mrs. Clark was holding something out on me. Yeah Something she was afraid to spill Like what? Well, that's just it. I don't know She told me after they got home last night She saw her husband go into the kitchen and boil a knife in caustic soda after he thought she'd gone to bed. Huh? What do you mean? That's it. So help me You think the guy could be that stupid?  Well, would you do it that way Haley? No, either with the killer. I still think Clark is your man. Oh, you've been right before the guy's jumpy as a cat I thought he was gonna pull a trigger the other night. So help me Well, you're going to get a chance to find out tonight.  He's still carrying that gun, you know Yes, yes, I checked the license for some reason.  Oh Yeah, now here's the plot Sergeant ransom's taking her home letting her out a block away from the house She'll go in and try to get his gun if she gets it if you raise the front window shade But if she doesn't she'll open the front door. That's pretty game over. She says it'll be easier that way I think she's right. What if she can't get the gun then ransom goes in shooting There's a story on that for me. I think I better be out there chief. That's fine with me We need all the help we can get on this case All right, all right Amy I'll sharpen the carving knife anything to get dinner on the table I'm just saying there's no excuse for you staying at a hen party till after dark, especially now Check that front door Amy be sure it's locked and then come back here.  Amy I'm coming. I'm coming The drawer I'm coming Amy Okay, brother, right? Oh All right, Mrs. Clark. Did I get him Haley? You sure did sergeant. I'd better call the coroner You think we can close this case Haley? I don't know why not chief the guy came out shooting just like she said he would There were the knife and the sharpening stone on the floor of the kitchen. Yes He was sharpening it when she got there Every set man dark suit initial are the gun knife and sharpening stone it all adds up Yeah, that's the trouble. Huh? It adds up too. Well comes out even I've never been on a case in my life It came out exactly even for now wait a minute she was holding something out of me Haley What makes you so sure? Are you sure she isn't I? Think so. I hope you're right Reporting reporter ladies and gentlemen with another last-minute news round up According to the latest statement from the office of chief of police Henderson the case of the doorbell killer is not quite ready for the closed file According to Henderson the case against the late Ralph Clark was entirely Circumstantial and had the man gone to trial the state case against him would have been very rickety The fact that there is no living witness to any of the killings is the biggest point in favor of Clark Henderson statement naturally raised a furor amongst the city hall boys Well, Amy it came off almost perfectly the house is yours now and the bank account and the insurance policy You're proud of yourself, aren't you you chuckle at mrs. Gibson's sympathetic understanding and chuckle harder at mrs. Gray down the street who snubs you as the wife of a murderer It won't make any difference in a week or two will it Amy you'll be relaxing in Miami Forgetting all about the dull little city in the dull little people in it Meanwhile the case is still a little unsettled and you decide to settle it once and for all So you make another visit to chief of police Henderson's office Now that Ralph has gone it won't make any difference. I Saw her again today Haley. Oh, this is Clark. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, we can send the case to close file. Oh, how can't she? Oh, I'll give you a statement for your paper in ten minutes I'm satisfied now that we got the right man You see the case against Clark is no longer a circumstantial. What do you mean? There was an eyewitness to the third killing wait a minute an eyewitness. Yeah, I knew she was holding out on me She was standing on the porch of the Walker house during the bridge party She saw the killer walk up to the front door three houses away That is something Do you think she could identify him at night at that distance? She says so and I believe her She says it was her husband. Why did she hold out afraid? Oh Satisfied Maybe I Think you're making a wise decision Mrs. Clark the real estate market is tops right now and 15,000 cash is a good price for your house. We'll follow your instructions and have the draft sent to the Florida State Bank Hello, hello, Mrs. Clark Yes, we've done just as you requested Inverting the endowment insurance to cash will bring you slightly less than $20,000 All right, we'll have the check forwarded to the Florida State Bank That's 18560 one-way mainliner to Miami including excess baggage your plane leaves tonight at 11 o'clock Mrs. Clark Oh You're all ready to go aren't you Amy your bags are packed in the living room the house is sold the airline tickets are in your purse And there's over $35,000 in cash waiting for you in the Florida State Bank It was a neat job wasn't it? There wasn't a hole in it not a loose end You're waiting now for the taxi that will take you to the airport and then promptly half past 10 Mrs. Clark Haley evening bulletin There was a loose end wasn't there Amy and a million questions hit you at once as Haley comes in and closes the door smiling confidently Haley ace crime reporter the man who cracked the Jenkins case almost single-handed and He knows you can tell it by the look on his face You made a mistake Mrs. Clark a big mistake You never should have said you were on that porch watching the guy that night at Walker's Was that dumb trick Mrs. Clark? You should have been sitting pretty if you hadn't opened your mouth once too often Let's try to wrangle out of this one The whistler will return in just a moment with the strange ending of tonight's story Meantime here's that second reason for today's amazing swing to signal The first you'll recall is that great new signal gasoline But equally important is the more thorough more conscientious service your car gets at independently operated signal stations Typical of this is signals double-check lubrication service And why is it called double check? Because each part is checked not just once but twice against signals lubrication chart Which shows every lubrication point and specifies which of signals nine specialized oils and greases each part should have That signals way of making doubly sure that not a single lubrication point on your car is ever overlooked No wonder signal service cars stays so happy lasts so long Wouldn't you say these are two mighty good reasons for today's swing to signal more Conscientious signal service geared to keep today's aging cars in the running and a great new Signal gasoline it helps you enjoy peak performance from your car while you go farther than ever per gallon And now back to the whistler Well Amy the walls are tumbling down all around you you forget about the money in the Florida Bank forget about the 11 o'clock plane All you can think of is the slip you must have made somewhere the statement to chief Henderson That you were a witness to the third killing even though the man was nothing but a shadowy form to you three houses away Somehow it caught you up Amy Somehow it brought Haley to you just as you were about to leave you stand there petrified wondering and suddenly You see something in Haley's eyes.   Well, that'd never do mrs. Clark Wouldn't do to have a loose witness floating around the contrary ready to spill the beans whenever she felt like it No, I wouldn't like that at all mrs. Clark There are just two people who know who the doorbell killer is you and me That's one too many. I Gotta fix that don't I? Chief Henderson of my newspaper wouldn't like it if they knew the guy with the knife was Me Yes It's been three months now since Richard Haley the doorbell killer was executed for the murder of Amy Clark But the most important feature of the case wasn't even mentioned in the headlines It's the story of a vicious conniving woman and a husband named Ralph who? grated on her nerve Next Monday at nine o'clock the whistler will bring you another strange tale The whistler is broadcast for your entertainment by the marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and fine quality automotive Accessories and by your neighborhood signal dealer This program produced by George W. Allen based on a story by Nancy and Alfred seal music by Wilbur Hatch is Transmitted to our troops overseas by the armed forces radio service that whistle is your signal for the signal oil program the whistler This is Marvin Miller speaking Reminding you to look for those familiar yellow and black circle signs that identify those popular signal oil stations in seven western states From Canada to Mexico This is CBS the Columbia broadcasting system


In Deuteronomy 439, Moses says that later in your heart and know that the Lord is God. Moses understands exactly who God is because Moses met God. In Exodus 3-2, the angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush and he says, the Lord spoke to him and that it was God. And when asked what his name was before he goes to the people, he said that his name is I am. And so here in Exodus 3 we see the Lord, the angel of the Lord, I am and God. All three are synonymous and so if the Lord is the angel of the Lord and the angel of the Lord is God, that means God is the Lord. That's key because the Bible tells us in Romans 10 that we must confess that Jesus is Lord. So is Jesus Lord? Sure. Is the Lord God? Absolutely. As a matter of fact, Jesus calls himself the I am. What does that mean? That Jesus is God. Here it is to Trinity in less than 60 seconds.


When it comes to studying functions, it'll be useful to study what we call the symmetry of a function. And we're used to notions of symmetry, maybe from past geometry classes and such. And so what I want to quickly do is introduce two notions of symmetry that we will often discuss as we talk about functions this semester. The first type of symmetry is what we call even symmetry. And a function we say is even if it's symmetric with respect to the y-axis. And so as you can see to the graph illustrated to the right right here, if you look at the y-axis, this is a line of symmetry. That is, if you were to reflect the graph across the y-axis, you'll get the exact same picture, right? It's just a mere image of itself when you look across the y-axis. This is what we refer to as an even function. An odd function is a different type of symmetry here. We say a function is odd if it's symmetric with respect to the origin. This one's a little bit more funky to understand here, but symmetry with respect to the origin, you can think of it in one of two ways. One way is if you take any point and you take the line that goes through the origin, follow that same distance to the other side, and you'll find a point on the graph. So you have this like axial line right here that acts as symmetry here. If you don't like that, you can think of the following idea.  And you're going to see that when you spin this thing around the origin, a half spin, you get the exact same picture again. This is what we call an odd symmetric function or just an odd function. The names even and odd might be a little bit weird because like evens and odd aren't those numbers like two is even and three is odd. It turns out that these names even odd have something to do with numbers and that parity that we talked about a moment ago. But we'll make that a little bit more explicit later on when we talk about symmetry with respect to algebraic functions. For the time being, I just want you to know that a function is even if it's symmetric with respect to the y-axis, it's odd if it's symmetric with respect to the origin. And I want you to be able to visually identify these two type of symmetries if you look at the graph of function. Now, I should also mention that it's not actually possible for a non-zero function to be symmetric with respect to the x-axis. Because you might wonder like, well, we have the y-axis right here. Why can't we read the symmetric to the x-axis? If your function was symmetric to the x-axis, that means when you reflect across the x-axis, you should find another point, right? But that would violate the vertical line test. So a non-zero function cannot pass the vertical, sorry, a non-zero function cannot be symmetric with respect to the x-axis. So we're not going to worry about that type of symmetry when it comes to functions. I should also mention that it's not possible for a function to be both even and odd simultaneously. Because if it was even and odd, you could actually argue it would have to be symmetric with respect to the x-axis, which then gets us in the same problem we were a moment ago. And I should also mention that it's possible for a function to be neither even nor odd. It's not a requirement when it comes to functions. Like if we had a graph that did something like the following, do-do-do-do-do-do, right? This function is neither symmetric with respect to the origin or to the y-axis. And so symmetry is not required, but when it does exist, it's important to identify it.
