40 here. Do you feel like the news is trying to manage you? I mean, it's just so strong that the news media wants us to hate Iran and to blame Iran for the Hamas attack on Israel. The news doesn't put much emphasis into conveying the Hamas point of view. All right, Hamas is a democratically elected representatives of the people of Gaza. Hamas overwhelmingly represents the people of Gaza far more than the Netanyahu government represents the people of Israel. So yeah, this is a democracy for all intents and purposes, not in this classical form, but in its essence. All right, this represents the will of the people Hamas does. And they are fighting out of their hero system.  We have different hero systems. So you say, why can't the arrows, why can't the Muslims make peace with this tiny little insignificant Jewish state in their midst? Well, why can't people who believe in heterosexual marriage make peace with the presence of a tiny number of same sex couples in their midst because it violates their hero system that marriage should be between a man and a woman. And it violates the hero system for many to have homosexuals open and out and serving in the US military that violates a hero system. It violates a hero system to have transgender becoming popular. All right, we're all driven, we're all motivated, we're all inspired and compelled and given strength and given pain by damage done to our hero system. Frequently, we would rather be punched in the stomach or punched in the face than to suffer the trials and tribulations of the desecration of our hero system, whether our hero system revolves around Christianity or Judaism or the pursuit of scientific truth or liberalism or conservatism or nationalism. We all have a hero system and Muslims have a hero system. All right, part of their hero system is that the land currently occupied by the Jewish state of Israel belongs to them. And Arabs and Muslims do have a claim to the land. Historically, I don't have any interest in litigating who is who has the stronger claim to the land. That's largely a matter of faith. So I don't try to litigate matters of faith. But Muslims and Arabs have their reasons for believing that this land belongs to them. And their sense of self, their hero system is violated, it is desecrated, it is damaged by the presence of a Jewish state on land that they believe belongs to them. And interesting what happened in Sydney, Australia. All right, so a particular group of Muslims got together, took over the area around the Sydney Opera House, right, the Central Business District of Sydney. And the Sydney police warned Jews to stay away from the Central Business District of Sydney. I mean, this is always unprecedented. I didn't know if this has happened before in Australia. It's hard to imagine happening in America. But for the for their own welfare, police told Jews stay away from the Central Business District.  And you know, how on earth is Australia strengthened by the importation of this kind of dissension? Right now, I don't think for a second that, you know, all Muslims support the slaughter of Jews, right? I don't believe that these Muslims who were at the Sydney Opera House causing, you know, celebrating the mass slaughter of Jews and calling for more mass slaughter of Jews, by no means do I think that these Muslims are just inherent to Islam. They're not, right? But a particular set of Muslims is going to celebrate the slaughter of Jews. And a particular set of Jews is going to scream out death to the Arabs, right? It's not Ashkenazi Jews by and large who marched through the streets of, you know, cities in Israel, communities in Israel, screaming death to the Arabs, right? It's by and large disaffected, low achieving, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews who do that. Now I live in Los Angeles and Los Angeles Orthodox Jews are pretty hardcore. I've been told by much wiser or knowledgeable Los Angeles Orthodox Jews than myself that probably half of Los Angeles Orthodox Jewry believes that Baruch Goldstein is a hero, right? You can go to the best of my knowledge to every Torah bookstore in Los Angeles and you can buy a Baruch HaGever. It's probably one of their best sellers celebrating the saintly, the righteous, the sardic, Baruch Goldstein. And why was he so righteous? Because he went into a mosque and just slaughtered as many Muslims at prayer as he could. And I would estimate that half of Los Angeles Orthodox Jews regard him as a great guy. Now, Orthodox Jews in Los Angeles and Orthodox Jews elsewhere in America not going out and committing murder and they're not going to, you know, publicly call for the mass slaughter of Arabs and Muslims. But a lot of Israelis, you don't really wish that the people of Gaza and the Palestinians would just disappear. Most of them are not going to go public with that wish. But everybody down deep has a significant part of themselves that wishes that those who are different from them regard them simply as subhuman, right? People in Gaza think that way about Israeli Jews, the Palestinians on the West Bank by and large think that way about Israeli Jews, Israeli Jews by and large think that way under times of stress about people in Gaza and people in the West Bank. All right, this is just inherent to the human condition. Right, I made some notes. Oh, it's interesting. So New Yorker has a big profile on glowing profile by and large on the National Security Advisor for Joe Biden. And this guy, Jake Sullivan, he talks about the Russia Ukraine war as as good versus evil. I mean, it just seems like such incredibly naive language for someone who's got a sophisticated Ivy League education. Wow. But that is how the dominant elites see things. I mean, you feel like you're being stage managed when you watch the news, read the news, listen to the news. We're supposed to load Russia so much so that we're itching to go to war with Russia. The media is managing it so that we load China and itching to go to war with China over Taiwan, even though Taiwan can't be bothered to put much effort into defending itself. And we're expected to encourage to load Iran to blame Iran for what Hamas did in southern Israel this weekend so that there is American support for going to war with Iran like substantial parts of the pundit industrial complex of the foreign policy complex of the American news media longs for America to go to war with Russia, China and Iran simultaneously, which would be an absolute disaster. Right. And at the same time, they tell us that democracies don't declare war on other democracies. And it's just not true. All right. Hamas represents the democratic will of the the Gazan people. All right. More than the Netanyahu government represents the Israeli people. All right. Hamas is far more popular with Gazans than BB Netanyahu and his governing coalition are with Israelis. Right. And when democracies go to war, right, they are not more moral and not more sensitive to civilian deaths than non democracies. Right. About 500,000 to a million Iraqi children died in the 1990s because of American sanctions against Iraq. It was horrifying to look at the video and the pictures of the dozens, possibly hundreds of Israeli children who were slaughtered by Hamas. Well, about a million Iraqi children were killed by American sanctions. But by and large, you didn't have TV cameras capturing those deaths. All right. That wasn't, you know, brought to the American people's attention because by and large, Americans don't really care about the death and suffering of non-Americans. Just like Australians, by and large, don't care that much about the death and suffering of non-Australians. And the French, by and large, don't care much about the death and suffering of non-French and Germans. By and large, don't care about the death and suffering of non-Germans. Right. That's reality. You want to do good in the world. You have to recognize reality. Now, contrary to this Wall Street Journal report, which came out very quickly, very conveniently, saying that Iran was behind these attacks on Israel by Hamas, both America and Israeli government have stated there is absolutely no evidence that Iran ordered these attacks. Right. Iran has yet to attack Americans in America. So I'm sure Iran has hit squads in this country who will go to work if America directly attacks Iran. The Obama administration reached the best possible deal with Iran. Iran can go nuclear essentially anytime at once. It's a shame to me that Trump repudiated it. The Republican argument and the media argument of the Biden administration played a significant role in the Hamas attack by returning $6 billion of frozen Iranian assets to Iran is absurd. Iran has been allowing in nuclear inspectors. They've reduced uranium enrichment. They've released American hostages. They've indicated openness to direct negotiations and engagement with America through the country of Oman. Iran is not on a trajectory to order these attacks. So much to talk about. But this idea that democracy is just so much more moral than non-democracies when it comes to war is absurd. But one thing I don't see in the news media is the significant role that Russia likely played in these attacks. That doesn't seem to get any attention. Right. I am skeptical that these likely Hamas attacks would have occurred if America was not so deeply involved. So balls deep in Ukraine funding, supplying, encouraging and directing this proxy war against Russia by NATO that is taking place in Ukraine. Ukrainians are dying because the U.S. thinks it's a great idea to have a proxy war with Russia. And this attack on Israel I don't think would have occurred if Russia had not been so highly incentivized to get back at America. Russia is getting back at America by encouraging directing, helping this Hamas attack against Israel. Just like Russia encouraged the Azerbaijan attack on Armenia and taking Nagorno-Karabakh, Russia is highly incentivized to create as much global trouble for America as possible because America is creating so much zuras, so much trouble for Russia. John Mirsheimer says that this decision by the Biden administration to be so supportive of Ukraine and supply tens of billions of dollars and encourage a proxy war in Ukraine is 10 times the disaster of our 2003 invasion of Iraq. It is essentially 10 times the disaster of our 2001 invasion of Afghanistan and our 2003 invasion of Iraq, which together costs approximately up to about $7 trillion. We blew $7 trillion in these pointless, disastrous invasions. The invasion of Iraq in 2003 cost about a million Iraqi lives. I'm horrified just like you are by these pictures of the Hamas slaughter of about a thousand Israelis. The American invasion of Iraq cost 1 million American lives. Before that, American sanctions against Iraq cost about 1 million Iraqi children's lives in the 1990s. This idea that democracy is so much more moral in the way they wage war. It's ludicrous. All the evidence is against it. Great article in Moscow. This is instability created by an attack on Israel. It is intended to pull US attention and resources away from the war in Ukraine, which is exactly what it is doing. But the media doesn't let you know that it's Russia that played a very significant role in this Hamas attack. Their interests are far more served by the Hamas attack than Iran's. Who benefits from the Hamas attack on Israel? Moscow. Russia benefits far more than does Iran. I'm not at all sure that Iran benefits at all. Moscow benefits. Russia benefits. Putin benefits. Just as he benefits from Azerbaijan, a Muslim nation thrashing Armenia and taking over Nagorno-Karabakh and Putin will be fomenting more of these. And we've brought it on by our boneheaded, stupid, ridiculous ludicrous just awful decision to essentially get into a proxy war with Russia versus NATO over Ukraine. If Trump had been re-elected, Putin would never have been incentivized to mount this invasion of Ukraine. So, why not here? Instability created in places like Serbia, Kosovo, West Africa, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and now Israel all intended to pull U.S. attention and resources away from the war in Ukraine. And it's doing that. It's doing exactly that.   He miscalculates. He makes mistakes.  He is creating conflict between Azerbaijan, Armenia, Serbia, and Kosovo, creating conflict in West Africa now in Israel. And he's pulling U.S. attention away from the war in Ukraine. U.S. recently created $500 of munitions stored in Israel and gave them to Ukraine. Now the U.S. is going to have to take these munitions and send them to Israel. So, they're not going to be able to be available to the Ukrainians to fight back against Russia. Russia used Iran to supply large numbers of drones to attack Ukrainian civilians. It's now using Iran to encourage and enable these attacks in Israel. So, the governing consensus, the way we're being stage-managed by the news and by our elites is to believe that if only liberal norms prevailed. If only we had widespread human rights and democracy, we wouldn't have these awful things. Well, John Mirshama read a great book about this in 2018, The Great Delusion, Liberal Dreams and International Realities. So, there is a governing consensus in the news media and among our elites that liberal democracies fight wars in especially virtuous ways. It's ridiculous. There's no evidence for this. Liberalism places great stress on inalienable human rights. So, yeah, you'd expect liberal democracies to go to lengths to avoid killing civilians, right? But when you study it, you find democracies are more likely than non-democracies to target civilians. The way the United States fights its war, it has killed millions of civilians, many of them on purpose. Right, yeah, autocracies are more likely than democracies to abuse prisoners of war, but plenty of evidence that democracies widespread mistreat their business. Right, when democratic states get desperate, they quickly forget the enemy's humanity, begin to value human rights far less. Israeli rhetoric is that Hamas are animals. Right, Israel is a democracy, many ways a liberal democracy. Right, when foreigners murder Americans, there's much greater concern to the average American than when foreigners murder each other. And it's that way universally, Australians and non-Australians murder each other. Right, there's a great human crime in the United States when the Islamic State, ISIS, beheaded two American journalists in 2014. That persuaded President Obama to go to war against ISIS. Right, Americans cared about the deaths of their fellow Americans. They didn't care nearly so much when ISIS slaughtered thousands of Muslims. Americans who murder foreigners, especially non-white foreigners, don't get treated very harshly. Lieutenant William Cowley, who directed the Milai massacre in Vietnam in March 1968, served three and a half years under house arrest before he was freed. He enjoyed overwhelming support from the public, even after his role in the massacre was revealed in the media. Nobody else in his unit was convicted of a criminal offense, even though Americans slaughtered somewhere between 350 and 500 civilians, mostly women and children. Now, if they butchered that number of unarmed Americans, they would not have received such benevolent treatment. Americans are extremely sensitive to American casualties. Israelis are extremely sensitive to Israeli casualties. Australians extremely sensitive to Australian casualties. But your normal member of the nation doesn't care much about the casualties of outgroups. One study has done a major, one scholar, John Tierman, done a major study on this subject because one of the most remarkable aspects of American wars is how little we discuss the victims who are not Americans. All nations think this way. United States has fought seven wars since the Cold War ended. United States is addicted to war. It's a liberal democracy. Britain and Australia by and large have been at America's side through these wars, more liberal democracies. Democratic peoples frequently start wars. Wars are frequently good politics. And the public in a democratic nation like the United States, Australia, Britain, frequently does not pay a big price where this country goes to war. Both the countries get to have highly capitalized militaries wherein only a small slice of the population actually serves and volunteers. And liberal democracies can wage war in ways that minimize their own casualties. All this cumbersome decision making that holds democracies back from going to war. Well, essentially the President of the United States or any executive can usually plunge this nation very quickly into war. These checks and balances may sometimes make it a little bit difficult to start a war. But democrat democracies initiate wars all the time like the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Very rarely do checks and balances and democratic inefficiencies prevent governing elites from taking their country to war. All these institutional impediments do not thwart democratic leaders bent on starting a war. Even if the war is a disaster like the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. In emergencies, liberal democracies such as Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, are fully capable of reacting swiftly and decisively in initiating a war. This is the latest New Yorker. With trepidation, as he had told me, but now in the White House's Roosevelt Room, steps from the Oval Office, he seemed surprisingly relaxed for a congenital worrier. It's my job to worry, he once told an interviewer, so I worry about literally everything. When I asked about reports that at a recent NATO summit he had been furious during negotiations over whether to issue Ukraine a formal invitation to join the Western Alliance, he said only half jokingly. First of all, I'm like the most rational human being on the planet. But when it came to the subject of the war itself and why Biden has staked so much. Rational being on the planet could very well plunge us into the war that ends human life on this planet. Very well plunge us into a conflict with Russia. But the Biden administration just seems competent because they by and large members of his administration are cohesive, they don't leak against each other, their conflicts don't spill out into the open, so the media keeps telling us how competent they are. They're going to competently advance us into a catastrophe 10 times the size of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. On helping Ukraine fight it, Sullivan struck an unusually impassioned note. As a child of the 80s and rocky and red dawn, I believe in freedom fighters, and I believe in righteous causes, and I believe the Ukrainians have one, he said. There are very few conflicts that I have seen, maybe none, in the post-Cold War era where there's such a clear good guy and bad guy. And we're on the side of the good guy. Wow, I mean, I, I, sure, morally you can make that case, but wars are not fought and sustained and decided primarily on the basis of morality. Morality, if it is to be objective, right, depends upon a subjective leap of faith, some sort of transcendent source of morality. Alright, I doubt that Jake Sullivan's religious man, I doubt he accepts that the source of morality is God, so therefore his description of this war is good versus evil is irrational because there's no objective basis on which to make such a pronouncement, unless you have and share some kind of transcendent source of morality, or you have our opinions on morality. And we have to do a lot for that person. There's no question that the United States has done a lot. American assistance to Ukraine totaling $76 billion with more than $43 billion for security aid is the largest such effort since the Second World. Okay, so asking for a friend, what is your favorite Sunni civilization? Is it Hamas? Like, what would you like to patent American? What is your favorite Sunni civilization? Is it Saudi Arabia? Hey, where do you see a, a Sunni civilization that you really want to imitate? In the aftermath of the February 24, 2022 Russian invasion, the U.S. has delivered more than 2,000 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, more than 10,000 Javelin anti-tank weapons, and more than 2,155 millimeter artillery rounds. It has sent Patriot missiles for air defense and high mobility artillery rocket systems, known as Haimars, to give Ukraine longer range strike capability. Sophisticated ghost drones and small hand... So as I mentioned, Australian Jews were told to stay away from the central business district of Sydney because bloodthirsty Muslims were celebrating the Hamas slaughter of Israelis and calling for more of the same and gassing the Jews. And again, I make clear this is not inherent to Muslims. This is a particular set of Muslims that Australia has imported and this is a particular set of Muslims and you can identify them. All right, Muslims from certain countries are far more likely to be bloodthirsty and to welcome genocide. The Muslims from other countries, just like certain Jews, far more likely to scream death to the Arabs than other Jews. Ninety-five percent of American Jews do not regard Baruch Goldstein, right? The guy went into a mosque and slaughtered 30 plus Muslims at prayer as a hero, but a tiny percentage do. And you can identify them only half of Los Angeles Orthodox Jews regard Baruch Goldstein as a hero. And launched Puma drones, striker armored personnel carriers, Bradley fighting vehicles, and M1A1 Abrams tanks. Biden has framed the conflict in sweeping nearly civilizational terms. So human rights is, you know, the favorite preoccupation of our ruling elites, of our academic elites, our political elites, our media elites. And human rights really developed as a prominent, you know, article of faith among our elites only in the 1970s after the failure of Marxist politics. Right, after communism and socialism really didn't work out, lefties looked for something else to invest themselves in and they developed this notion of universal human rights. Now, prior to the 1970s, essentially human rights were understood to be something that only a nation state could grant to its citizens really. So there's no real meaning to human rights outside of what a nation state at a particular time and a particular place can grant its citizens. But it is a preoccupation of people who live in an abstract world. I largely live in an abstract world. I get living in an abstract world. I live much of my life in an abstract world. I love the abstract world. I frequently spent way too much time in an abstract world when I'd be much better served, you know, spending time interacting with real people. But I'm recently smart guy I like to read books and think in abstract times. When you live in an abstract world it's very easy to live in a substantial amount of delusion. I have spent a substantial amount of my life in delusion. My therapist said to me, I'd hate to see you waste your life in delusion. She said that because he saw me wasting much of my life in delusion.  So this notion that there are universal human rights and this is a righteous cause to fight for it does virtually no good in the world. It's a delusion. It's something that makes you feel good. The only meaningful definition understanding of human rights is that the human rights are the human rights that can be conveyed to by a nation state to its citizens. That's it. Vowing to stick with Ukraine for as long as it takes to defeat the invaders who despite an estimated 120,000 dead and 180,000 injured. So our Hamas the invaders, right, Arabs and Muslims can make, you know, strong case that the Zionists are the invaders and Zionists can make a strong case that the Arabs and Muslims and Hamas are the invaders right? No people spring out of the ground right? Nobody is owed any territory on earth unless you look at things through the eyes of faith. The only territory that your people get is the territory that your people can seize and defend. Israel does not belong to the Jews unless you look at it through the eyes of faith. I look at it through the eyes of faith. So I'm down with saying Israel belongs to the Jews but I'm admitting that I'm making a leap of faith. Just like Arabs and Muslims can make a leap of faith that the current land of the Jewish state of Israel belongs to Islam. No people emerge straight out of the ground and have an inherent right to a particular plot of land. The only right you have to any land is the land that your people can seize and that your people can defend. Still hold nearly 20% of the country's territory but at nearly every stage the administration has faced sharp questions about the nature and the durability of the US commitment. I mean remember President Lyndon Baines Johnson in the Vietnam War, he would decide on a case by case basis where American planes could bomb in North Vietnam. He would personally select many of the bombing targets and the Biden administration is similarly trying to manage the Ukraine war, the proxy war fought in Ukraine between NATO and Russia by giving certain weapons to Ukraine but then saying oh but you can't use these inside of Russia as though you can give weapons to a country fighting for its survival and then effectively limit how it uses its weapons. I mean how delusional is that? The Biden administration thinks they can stage manage how the weapons it gives Ukraine are used. Good luck. Beyond the inevitable tensions with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky there are jostling Washington bureaucracies restive European allies and a growing Trumpist faction in the Republican controlled House of Representatives which is opposed to the bipartisan congressional bills that have up until now funded the war. A vocal peace camp meanwhile is demanding negotiations with Vladimir Putin to end the conflict. Even a Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said there is currently little prospect for meaningful diplomacy the task of leading the White House through such treacherous politics has fallen to Sullivan. Who? Well if Anthony Blinken says that there's little meaningful opportunity for negotiation I mean then that just answers that. I mean if our Secretary of State makes such a pronouncement like who are we to question him? I mean it's just subtle that. Yeah apparently 20 Americans missing in Israel guys we need to bomb bomb bomb Iran bomb bomb bomb Iran to get a war with Russia and get a war with China. Ugh. Crazy, crazy how we're trying to the American news media is trying to stage manage what's going on to avoid the bleeding obvious that this attack on Israel likely would not have happened if America hadn't been so balls deep in Ukraine. Taiwan can't be bothered to put much effort into defending itself yet tens of thousands of Americans must die to defend a country that can't be bothered to defend itself. And that Iran are the bad guys here that Hamas a Sunni organization is putting to much of the news media essentially a proxy for the Shiite regime in Iran. He was appointed at the age of 44 was the youngest national security advisor since McGeorge Bundy held the job during the Vietnam War. It's really Jake Evo Daulter a former U.S. Ambassador to NATO who has consulted regularly with the National Security Council since the Russian invasion told me he is the quartermaster of the war and everything else. Sullivan is lean with wispy blond hair a tendency to blush bright red and a workaholic intensity unusual even by Washington's standards one night a few months ago Sullivan discovered an intruder who had broken into his home at around 3 a.m. because he was still up working in his office there is a chart updated frequently showing countries current stocks of ammunition that might go to Ukraine this spring during the battle of Bakhmut he knew the status of the fighting down to the city block that's amazing that isn't that fantastic the national security advisor those the status of the fighting in Ukraine down to the block I'm kind of naive I wish that he was up on American interests I am not as interested in the fighting in Ukraine block by block as I am in what's good for America so Hamas and the Palestinians can make a powerful case for their own victim hood Israelis can make a powerful case for their own victim hood I can make a powerful case for my own victim hood you can make a powerful case for your own victim hood right or group identity depends upon a strong sense of grievance and and victim hood every people can feel terribly terribly oppressed and it's absolutely essential for a group identity now I know what you think he's saying 40 stop with the blather get to the point what does Peter Zion have to say about all this coming to you from central Texas it is the October and the news today is that in the early hours of today Hamas the political slash terror group based on your politics that controls the southern enclave of Gaza in southern Israel launched an attack into Israel proper demolishing a little bit of the border land sea paraglider attacks and literally thousands of missiles and so far they've kidnapped at least several dozen civilians and a handful of soldiers and took them back to Gaza with them Netanyahu so do you think Peter Zion is going to go into the jq I don't remember Peter Zion delving into the mysteries of the jq he doesn't talk much about Israel and the Israel lobby I wonder why who Benjamin Netanyahu the prime minister of Israel has declared war on Hamas and military operations are forthcoming he's very hot situation on the ground very fluid don't have a lot of information for you there and honestly there's people who are much better at that than I am what I can tell you there's two kind of things that kind of stand out that we need to watch here number one within minutes of the news being reported the Ukrainian government offered its support to the Israeli government oh wow that must be such a lead to the people of Israel that the Ukrainian government had offered its support what a relief I mean the people of Israel must feel so warm so nurtured so safe so reassured heartened so strengthened so inspired so transcendently supernally eternally terrifically fantastic that the Ukrainian government has offered its support wow this is this is a game changer and Hamas was just Hamas was shaking in his boots that Ukraine had offered its support and I'm just looking at the chat right now Leponius Maximus Meridius I want you to know I'm offering you my support cyber view I am offering you my support Ozzyan Sultan Bekov I want you to know that I am extending to you my support and my love now send you even a dollar but I'm offering you my support live madly you too get my support Elliot Blatt you have my support bro everybody who's watching the show right now all 20 of you right 16 on YouTube and a few on Rumble and maybe one on Twitter I'm offering you my support and my support it should mean as much to you as the support of Ukraine means to Israel and you know how the Israelis they're just smitten right now they are devastated they feel so bad that Ukraine immediately offered Israel their support during Israel's time of suffering while Israel had not offered the same support to Ukraine when Ukraine was suffering the Israelis are just torn up inside they're bleeding inside they're crying inside they're ripped up inside in defending against the assault which is far more than the Israelis have offered to the Ukrainians in response to the Russian invasion the Ukrainians have been a little annoyed with the Israelis trying to sit on the fence you know why the Israelis sat on the fence because they didn't want to provoke exactly what happened right Russia is an incredibly dangerous enemy you don't gratuitously needlessly make dangerous enemies and if that means you don't get to be as moral you don't need to immediately you know go to the aid of the suffering because you put a higher priority on your own welfare than the welfare of strangers half a world away that that's what you do Israel was absolutely right to be highly reluctant to side with Ukraine if the United States had been highly reluctant to side with Ukraine we would not be on the verge of World War three we would not be on the verge well we are stuck in a massive catastrophe in this conflict with Russia that there's no way out of this is going to be 10 times more damaging to America's interest than the stupid invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 invasion of Iraq in 2003 if I'm the America had been this reluctant in all likelihood no attack by Hamas on southern Israel this weekend for their part have a population that's roughly one sixth Russian and so they've been trying to not get involved as much as they can because they're always trying to keep their lines of communication open to the Russians as a way to manipulate events in the Arab world it's going to be very interesting to see if this changes the mindset of folks in Israel at all because for them dealing with groups like Hamas is kind of an existential issue and for Ukraine to come down so quickly and so publicly on their side is definitely noteworthy there is no direct noteworthy why? Ukraine can do absolutely nothing for Israel. Why exactly is it noteworthy? It's noteworthy to Peter Zion who thinks it's just so important that the United States you know back Ukraine to the Hilton that Putin is just like Hitler and to Peter Zion is noteworthy I don't think to any thoughtful analyst of war affairs that Ukraine support for Israel is particularly noteworthy I mean I assume that Bolivia supports Israel too and New Zealand during this time of pain and suffering and that makes Bobkas difference to Israel. Indication of Russian involvement here but there are a lot of tactics that are very familiar that we've seen the Hamas group has actually shared footage of some of its attacks including attacks on civilian targets which under normal circumstances would be considered a war crime pretty much there but the rules in the Middle East are a little odd and we know that the senior leadership there are no meaningful rules in war alright war means that usually there is such an intense clash of interest that people are willing to kill over them they're willing to kill because they believe that the survival of their own people is at stake and in such situations there really aren't any rules. Israel has been in and out of Moscow quite a bit over the course of the last year so it's going to be interesting to see how that whole dynamic changes politically. Second aspect is political strategic as well and that is that the Saudis and the Israelis have been hip deep in negotiations on a normalization program right now most of the countries of the Arab world still don't recognize Israel as a independent state and entity that has broken a little bit under the Trump administration with Morocco and the United Arab Emirates switching sides but now the question is whether the Biden administration can get Saudi Arabia to switch sides and the debate of course is about the Palestinians not between the Saudis and the Israelis but among the Saudis there's a debate going on within Saudi Arabia itself it's generational over whether or not they should just ditch the Palestinians completely normalize relations with the Israelis and just move on. Yeah I've emailed Mike Benz aka Frame Game Radio have not heard back from him. On the older generation of the king who's probably senile at this point wants to continue to back the Palestinians where the younger one ruled by the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman really doesn't care at all so we're going to find out really quickly here who actually holds power in Riyadh and that is going to have any number of implications because whenever the world's largest oil producer and exporter decides to change its political stance on regional affairs and starts backing up with money, oil and military power a lot of interesting things can break through very quickly so watch Jerusalem. Is this the once a decade cutting of the grass where Israel goes into Gaza and kills off some of the most militant perhaps I have no idea a full fledged ground invasion and takeover of Gaza by Israel may very well precipitate an attack on Israel by Hezbollah which would very well kill 10,000 Israelis in the first 24 hours and flatten much of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Let's take a look at this New Yorker article on Jake Sullivan inside the White House's battle to keep Ukraine in the fight. He often speaks with his counterpart in Kiev, Zelensky's chief of staff Andrei Yermak two or three times a week and has taken charge of everything from lobbying South Korea for artillery shells to running an emergency operation to get Ukraine additional power generators. Earlier this year when Germany came to Ukraine, Sullivan spent days in intensive talks with the German national security advisor to secure them. Thank you, thank you Jake Sullivan for all that you do. Here's another premier intellectual big Alaska. I'm like no matter how much I sleep I'm just exhausted every day all day like just want to like die like bad it's not good well if you think if you get a good night's right


Sometimes, last year, I visited one of my friends. We grew up together in the same small town, and his dream has always been to become a lawyer. Now, he's a lawyer, but the reality I suspect had set in for him. He doesn't sound as if he loves his job. More so, money doesn't come as much as everyone thought lawyers should have, so he was considering doing something else. Since he knows me to be an entrepreneur, he wanted my advice to which I generously gave by showing him how he could start an online business the same day we met. Unfortunately, he didn't follow my advice, and I'm sure 99% of the people who will watch this video will do nothing about it. But 1% is worth working for anyway, so let's continue with the video as I show you how you can start an online business right now. If you are an entrepreneur or an ambitious person, we especially invite you to join our motivational channel, which was designed to give you daily inspirations so that you will have the strength to pursue and achieve your most important dreams. We call this channel Hunt TV, and you can join in the description box. 1. Use the internet to teach others what you know. I love business. I started my first major business at age 15. Nothing has made me high as much as creating and selling things, concepts, or an idea. This is my life, but I also teach business and make a lot of money doing so. If today I'm a medical doctor, guess what I'll be doing? I'll be here on YouTube, giving people medical advice. If today I'm a soldier, imagine what I'll be doing. I'll be here on YouTube, teaching people about personal security and maybe warfare if the army policies allow me. If today I'm a musician, I'll be here teaching people how to compose songs, perform on stage, etc. What if I'm a teacher? Well, I know a lot of people on YouTube making thousands of dollars by teaching people English, economics, geography, etc. What if the only thing I know how to do is to draw an object? Well, search YouTube for DP Art Drawing.  As at the time of making this video, she has 533,000 subscribers. Think about that for a minute. I don't know any law in the world which says it's a crime to teach others what you know. What I know instead is that if truly you know something, you'll love talking about it and you might even like teaching other people and what is as sweet as making money helping others while you do what you love.  My videos have been watched in more than 100 countries by millions of people. Yes, most of these people will just watch and move on but a tiny percentage of them can change their lives just because I share my thoughts with them. How else can anyone contribute in a little way to the world? Yet, you can make money doing so and you can even start in the next 5 minutes. It only takes about 30 seconds to open a YouTube channel, about 1 or 2 minutes to open other social media channels and that's it. 2. Understand how the internet works so that you can promote your products there.  When you don't understand something, how can you make good use of it? My life changed in the year 2014 when I understood that I could use software to know what people are searching for on the internet. To even make me crazy, this software is free so I started thinking, if I can understand what people are searching for in my country, I can know what products or service to create and market to them. This singular information changed my life. There are thousands of other things you need to understand about the internet. For example, if you create a blog or website for your company, you can track the people who visit the blog and remarket to them anywhere they go on the internet. Facebook and Google will help you do that. I have used Chabot to make thousands of dollars in the last two years and I'm planning to use it again now. There are tons of other things that can change your business or life about the internet, social media and YouTube but you have to search, learn and learn. I challenge you to lock yourself in door for a week and spend all your time on Google learning how the internet works and how people use the internet to promote their businesses and make money. You can create something, a free blog, a social media or YouTube account immediately after watching this video, then start learning how the internet works. Your life can change with a single piece of information. 3. Stop waiting till you figure everything out. The journey of life is like a spiritual journey. You'll never get to a period of time when you will understand everything about God. Never. If you want to wait till you know everything about God before you believe He exists, then you become an Atheist and so many people in your world today are like the Atheists. They never start pursuing their dreams just because they have no perfect understanding. Well, I have some bad news for you. You'll never have a perfect understanding of anything. Look at this channel you are watching now. It's one of the 10 biggest money and entrepreneurship channels in the world but guess what, we still don't know everything. I still struggle every day with a few things. Yeah, we do not know a lot but we would have known nothing if we didn't start with errors. I remember my first attempt using social media to promote my idea.  Very shameful. I remember my first website or even my first 2 or 3 attempts on YouTube.  But it was me and it's just normal for anyone to make mistakes. You just have to start something immediately and keep moving. 4. Be willing to sacrifice several months or a few years. I met a guy a few weeks ago who told me about his attempts on the internet.  I was on my way to the bank so I didn't have time to tell him what I am about to say to you now. We published about 470 videos on this channel before we had our breakthrough. Yes, about 470 videos.  So I deleted them. When I started blogging in the year 2014, I had to sacrifice a year before I started making money. Reasonable money. I mean, today I see a lot of people who get discouraged simply because they have tried one or two things on the internet and failed. The success is as easy as ask and get. Why are there only a few who get it? If everyone who tries something can get a result in 3 months, why would everyone become successful? But I know what is going on here. Most people are products of school and in school, you were never taught how to fight. You were only taught how to get grades and get jobs then get paid forever. Nothing in school teaches you how to work for free. For a long time, and that's why some will tell me that they started the business last 6 months and because they have not been making a lot of money they want to give up. By far the greatest things that have ever happened to me happened after I started. Start and decide never to look back.  I hope this video helps you. And just before you go, watch other videos on YouTube. If you are an entrepreneur or an ambitious person, we invite you to join our Motivational Channel. The objective of the channel is to give you daily inspiration so that you will have the strength to pursue and achieve your most important dreams. We call this channel Hunt TV and you can join in the description box. We love you.


The island of Okinawa is home to many different branches of emergency services, both military and civilian. Lance Corporal Takun Norasing tells us how they would work together if an incident were to occur. Every year, American and Japanese emergency response personnel work together during a bilateral exercise to simulate a real-world situation. Of course, you had United States forces Japan, various security and police forces from Aruma City, the Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy, and of course you had medical services provided by Dr. Healy, which was the civilian helicopter that flew in and did a recovery, the Japanese Coast Guard helicopter that did a water rescue, and the 33rd Rescue Squadron from the Air Force that did a water rescue. Building up to this exercise required a year of preparation and planning. Reporting from White Beach Naval Facility, Japan, I'm Lance Corporal Takun Norasing.


Hey, it's Arfa! So you've just installed Manjaro and you're wondering how can you set it up to be a music production system? Well today I'm going to show you how do I do that. I have a fresh Manjaro installation and we're going to go through the process of configuring the system, installing all necessary packages, making sure it works good and then installing all the software that you might need for music production, all the DAWs or the plugins and that sort of thing. And I'm going to show you where to get this and how to install it, how to later update it, etc. So you've just logged in for the first time into your new system and there's a few things I want to do. The first thing might be a little bit strange to you but the first thing I ever do is configure backups. So let's open a program called Timeshift, oh it's not installed. So we have to install Timeshift. Now something I really like about Manjaro is that it has a drop-down terminal installed by default. So if you just press F12 you get this terminal. You can press Shift and Alt and arrow keys, right arrow key and down arrow key to make it bigger and I usually like to have it much bigger. We can also make the font bigger if we just use Ctrl and my mouse wheel and this is going to be much easier to follow I hope. Alrighty, so we need to install Timeshift. But first we need to update our package list. So Pacman which is the package manager dash S and Y. This will go into update all the package information but of course we need to use sudo. So sudo and I can now type two exclamation points and that's going to execute the previous command with sudo prefix. So that's going to execute sudo pacman S Y. Now I'm going to type in my temporary password which is 1234 and let's let it run and everything is up to date. Great, now we can install Timeshift. So I'm going to go sudo pacman minus dash S Timeshift. This is going to install a package called Timeshift and all its dependencies. Proceed with installation, I just press enter and it's default yes. It's going to download some packages and Timeshift is installed. Now I can press F12 to hide the terminal. We can also close this hello dialog. Now I can open my main menu and type time and you see there is Timeshift. A system restore utility. Now we need to give it our administration password that you've set during installation and during first run Timeshift is going to ask you to configure how it's going to do its job. Now if you have installed your system using ext4 file system you're going to have to use rsync which is the default option. This is simpler but it takes longer to do. I have installed Manjaro using Manjaro architect and I've installed it on a BTRFS file system so I can use the very fast snapshot functionality of BTRFS to create and restore these snapshots nearly instantly. So I'm going to select BTRFS. You can also open help and read up about them. Now we have to choose the file system we're going to store the backups on. We have one file system present in this in this laptop. It's the main file system so we don't have to do anything. Now we can configure a snapshot schedule. By default Timeshift is going to do five daily backups. I'm going to disable that because I want to be using Timeshift only to do manual snapshots when I'm before upgrading my system. Let's go next. Let's leave this enabled. And now we can include the user home directory. What this means is everything in our home user directory will also be included in the snapshot. That means our documents. I want to use Timeshift only to store the system state so I'm going to leave this off. But if you want to also include your documents, projects and everything you can click this and it will back up everything. Let's press next and the setup is complete. I can now click finish and let's create our first snapshot. What you got to do is just click create. Now on BTRFS this takes no time at all. If you want to delete a snapshot, just use this delete button. If you want to roll back to that snapshot, we just press restore. It's as simple as that. We can also browse the selected snapshot files to retreat something that was previously on our disk but isn't there anymore. Okay, this video is not about Timeshift. Let's get going. Now I want to make sure Octopy is installed and you can see it is. But in some previous versions of Manjaro it was not installed by default. So if you would like to install Octopy, you would go to your terminal window and we can clear it. And you can type sudo pacman-s Octopy. Give it your administration password. And indeed there is an update to be installed for that program. Let's go ahead and do that. All right. What actually we want to do is update the system in its entirety.  This command will update our system. Basically check if there is anything to update and it will update everything. This is an important thing on Manjaro which is based on Arch Linux. Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution. That means there are no frozen states like with Ubuntu's different releases like 14.04 or 19.09 or what 19.09 no. And then you update packages for the versions supported by this version of the system. No. On Arch based Linux distributions like Manjaro you are always on the bleeding edge. So you often will be required to update all your system packages. Now there is not much to update because I have actually updated it during installation. Another tool we're going to need to install extra software is called Yay. Yay. And it's going to give us access to so-called Arch user repository which is a collection of user created PK builds. These are scripts that get sources or binary packages from the internet and either build these sources or build packages from the binary files and install them to your system. There is pretty much everything you could ever imagine or want in the Arch user repository. So we're going to need that for some really bleeding edge versions of our software or plugins that are not in the usual repositories. So let's go sudo pacman-s Yay. Now you can see that I already had Yay installed and that's because I have chosen to have it installed during installation when I used Manjaro architect. But if you do a regular installation for the graphical installation program you're not going to have that option. So you will need to install Yay yourself. The next thing we need to take care of is the jack audio server. That's pretty much the workhorse that's going to hold all our audio work together. So let's just see if we have jack installed. Let's go which jack D and you can see we have jack installed but we want to make sure it's the correct version. So I'm going to just make sure that jack two is installed. I don't use jack one because jack one is not multi-threaded and modern computers have at least two cores so it's a shame not to use them for your DSP. From what I see here jack one doesn't have any cool features at all. Let's go sudo pacman-s jack two. And now you can see we have jack installed. So by default Manjaro has supplied it with jack one but we want jack two. Do you want to remove jack? I do. So we want to replace jack one with jack two. Yes. Now this is a very important step because if I have gone and installed other software depending on the jack replacing that package later would be quite problematic because I would have to uninstall all the software that needs jack audio server. Then I could remove the jack one package and then install jack two and I would have to reinstall again all the software I installed on top of that. Now we are sure we are running jack two so we can go ahead and install other things. And the other thing I'm going to install is cadence. Su-du pacman-s cadence. Cadence is basically a control panel for production audio work. OK, we have cadence installed. Let's hide our terminal and let's find it cadence. Yes, it's a jack toolbox. Let's open cadence and we can see we have a yellow sign here which says we have a non real time kernel and the user is an audio group. We're going to check that soon. Let's see what we can do in the configuration. The driver we want to use also and yes, this is the analog. Interface. OK, fine. And we need to use real time priority indeed to up our performance. We can move the real time priority up. And now if we try to do that, the jack server is started, but I am going to stop it for now and first make sure we have other things configured properly. So one important thing for using jack and jack dependent applications like Ardor is to make sure that your user is allowed to use real time scheduling in the system. And this is done with the use of so-called audio group. So we can type in a command called groups. And that's going to show us what user groups our user is in. And we can see it is actually in the audio group, but we need to make sure that the audio group is properly configured so that it has the privilege to use the real time scheduling that the jack server needs to do that. I'm going to go to a directory called ETC security. I'm going to list the files in there and you can see there is limits conf and limits dot D. This is a monolithic configuration file and this is a directory con containing smaller files, which can be, which are concatenated to produce the complete configuration. I'm going to go into the limits dot D directory and list what's there. You can see there is something. Let's, um, let's type less and 10 and see what is there. Users mem log 224. Okay. There is nothing here. Let's go up. Let's now type nano limits dot conf. And I need to prefix that command with sudo. So this is run as administrator. Nano is a text editor and limits conf is the file we want to edit. And that's the contents of the file. Now, let's see if the audio group is mentioned here. Let's press control W, which stands for where. And now I can type audio. Audio is not found. That means our audio group is created in the system and our user has been added to it, but it doesn't really have the privileges that we need. So let's go down to the end of the file and specify the privileges for the audio group. Let's type a hash, which starts a commented line. This is going to be ignored. And now I'm going to type at audio, which means the name of the group user group tab. I'm going to use two tabs just to align with what is above. The type is nothing. The item is RT prior, which means real time priority. Now I'm going to allow it 95. And let's also add another line. Let's call it audio again, type tab. And this is mem log unlimited. This is another privilege for the Jack server to use more memory in your system. I've taken this text from a website, jackaudio.org, and there's a frequently asked questions section where you can find exactly how to configure this. So yeah, you can look it up and you probably will need to look it up. Now we need to save the configuration file. I'm going to press control O for out or write out limits.conf enter it wrote 54 lines. Great. Now I'm going to press control X to exit. We can verify that the file was changed by typing less limits.conf. And this is a file viewer. We can press page down. And indeed there is our audio group. Privileges specified. Let's press Q to quit this less program. Now for this to take effect, we need to log out and log back in. So let's do that. Okay. I'm logging back in. Oh, we have cadence opened and can start. All right. Now, if there was no audio group in our system, we can create it by typing sudo group add audio. Now we need to type in our administration password. It's going to tell us that the audio group already exists. But if it wouldn't exist, we would have created it just now. Now we would have to also add our user to the audio group. And we can do this with the command user mod dash a dash big G, which means add to a group audio. And now we can type our username minus alpha, but you can also type dollar sign and with big letters user. And this text will be substituted with whatever is the username. Of course, I need to prefix this with sudo or afterwards type sudo and to exclamation points. And this will execute the command. Now I have, now I should have done this before configuring the audio group, because otherwise that configuration would have not made any sense and then log out, log back in, and it would take effect to verify. Let's type in groups. And indeed we are in the audio group. We can make it a bit easier by typing groups, pipe, grab, which is a program to search for text, audio. And it highlights the audio group in red for us to make it easier to spot. Our user is in the audio group. Our audio group is configured. So we should be able to run Ardor just fine. Let's install it. Now, maybe I'm going to use Octopy to do so. So far I've been installing everything using the terminal, but you might prefer to use the graphical user interface. I'm going to type in Ardor, right click, install. And it asks us to install optional packages. XJDO is an Xjack video viewer. It's a very useful viewer for working with film soundtracks or editing or making sound effects for pilot footage or whatever. I'm going to install both of these. Now let's commit these changes or apply these changes. Now I need to, of course, give my administration password and it's going to install Ardor for us and Ardor is installed. So let's run it. Ardor, welcome to Ardor. I'm going to put everything in default places and I'm going to change this later. Let's scan for plugins. There's not going to be much plugins because we haven't installed any. Let's create an empty session. Ardor, test. My favorite name. Let's change the audio system to Jack, which is already running because we have started it with cadence and we can connect to it. Now, if we wouldn't have the audio group and the audio group privileges properly configured, Ardor would not be able to create the session. It would give us an error and say that it cannot open the session file or whatever it's a misleading error message. And what it really means is that it couldn't obtain the real time scheduling privileges. Now we can pin the Ardor icon to the task manager. It'll let us open it up more quickly. You can also right click to start a new instance. If you want to open two Ardor instances for some reason, we can create a new track control shift N. Let's make a stereo audio track. And this is already capturing audio from the built-in microphone. Let's see if it works. It does. Alrighty, it works. Now let's install more software. I'm going to save this. Let's go back to Octopy. And now, do you remember I have told you we installed this program called Yay. Now, if we go to Tools, Options and AOR, you can see we have Yay selected as a program to interface with the ArchUser repository. You may have this deselected. So make sure you select Yay here. We can also enable AUR voting if you created an account on our AUR.archlinux.org. I know I have. So now I can vote on packages. You can select no confirm and no edit to make it easier for you to go through the installation process. This will disable the option to change anything in the PK build script, but it will also not ask you as many questions and it's just going to be smoother. Let's apply these settings and now I'm going to install Zinfusion. First thing I have to click on this alien face to enable the Yay tool. So we're going to search the ArchUser repository instead of the regular Arch Linux or Manjaro Linux packages. So I'm going to type in Zin and press enter and we have Zinfusion here. Let's right click and you can see I have already voted on this package. Let's install it. And now Octopi opens up and terminal emulator and runs the Yay command with parameters of our package. It's going to ask us a password. I'm going to give it the password. And you see it shows question proceed with installation. It automatically answered. Yes, because we have selected the no confirm option. This is right now downloading all the source code for Zinfusion and it's going to compile it on the spot and install the package for us so we can use it. This is going to take a short while because Zinfusion is quite a big program. Now as this installation is going on, I'm going to tell you something about Pulse Audio. Pulse Audio and Jack are a cause of many headaches for many people using Linux for audio production because both Pulse Audio and Jack are sound servers and they tend to not cooperate very well. But there is a very easy way to deal with that and that is just to install a Jack module for Pulse Audio. Then Pulse Audio will be able to use Jack as its audio back end instead of trying to use your sound card directly. Two nights are fighting for the attention of Princess Alsa, the nimble Jack and the well-known Pulse Audio. But for the kingdom to blossom, we need Jack to pass the letters between Alsa and Pulse Audio as any other way around will cause a disruption.  Unless all of that can be handled by pipe wire, but that's a topic for another video. That means you will be able to play videos from your web browser and run Ardor at the same time without having to stop one or the other and you can also then record videos from the web browser into your Ardor session because Pulse Audio will expose its audio parts to the Jack server. And Cadence makes this easier. You can see we have this Pulse Audio tab right here and we have information of the Pulse Audio server. You can see that Pulse Audio is started and bridged to Jack. That's good news because that means we already have Pulse Audio configured to talk to Jack. You can go to Tools, open Katia, which is a Jack patch bay and we can see what is happening in our system right now. This is a graph of Jack clients and connections. The system nodes show the built-in sound card that we are using for our Jack server. And you see we have Pulse Audio Jack sync, which is the Pulse Audio output. So whatever you play in your web browser, for example, is going to feed it there. It's audio here and right into our speakers. And here is Pulse Audio Jack source. Whatever you're gonna, if you're gonna talk to someone using a web application in your browser, this is going to get the sound from your microphone. And here is the stereo microphone built into the laptop. But with the power of Jack, you can reroute that wherever you want. For example, you can feed output of your Ardor session to Pulse Audio. So you can, for example, process your voice with Ardor and make people hear you with your voice changed or with reverb added or whatever. I'm going to reset that to the previous state. Do not leave it in a mess. So Katia is a tool shipped with Cadence. There is another tool called Claudia, which is a front-end for Ladish session manager. There are also level meters. This one shows the microphone input and this is an out meter. And I think it's working because we have this thing here. Yes. Let's see how the installation is going. And we're still cloning. Now we are copying the downloading the source files for MRuby Zest framework, which is the GUI framework that Mark McCree have created for Zinfusion. Normally this is much faster, but I'm recording the video and that slows everything down. Another thing we can talk about is using real-time kernels. Now with Manjaro installing a new kernel is very, very easy. You just open your main menu and type kernel, and there's this tool for installing different kernels. And here are all the available kernels. You can see we are currently running kernel version 5.4.18-1, which is a long-time supported kernel. It's installed and it's running. But there is a newer kernel, but there's a different kernel, and it's a real-time kernel. So a real-time kernel might give us better performance for Jack Audio Server. However, I have not found a significant change difference in my workload, but if we were to install it, we would just click here, click Yes, give our password, and we can show details. And it's going to download all the packages and install the real-time kernel for us. Of course, to use this new kernel, we need to reboot our machine. And you can verify what kernel are you running either by opening this Manjaro kernel manager or by opening a terminal, hit F12, for example, and type a command called uname-a. And this tells us we're running Linux. This is the version of the kernel. This is a preemptive kernel, so it allows real-time scheduling, but it's not, like, super full support. And our new kernel is installed. You can see it's now installed. If we reboot our computer, you will have a menu where we can choose which kernel we want to boot. Once we're done with installing all the packages, I will reboot and we will choose this real-time kernel, and once we confirm that it works, then we will remove the other one, so we don't have this option and the boot process will be simpler. Let's check back and we'll still cloning. By the way, a very important command on Linux is sudo make coffee. Just joking. Okay, now we have to give our password. One thing I don't like about Yey is that it can time out with the password and then you need to install it again. Thankfully, it caches the results, so it's not a big problem. And we have the infusion installed. Let's try it in Ardor. I'm gonna press Shift E to open up the side terminal. By the way, I think we should change the font size of Ardor. Oh, there it is. Yep, that looks much better. Not all fonts will be updated immediately, though we should restart Ardor for this to take full effect. And I'm gonna press Ctrl Shift N and add a new track. Let's make it a MIDI track. And you can see we don't have Zinfusion on this list. What we have to do is go to Edit Preferences, Plugins, and go Scan for Plugins. And you can see we have... It's detecting... It has detected ZinatsubFX, so now if I go Ctrl Shift N and add a new MIDI track, I have ZinatsubFX on the list. I'm gonna pick LV2 version. Let's call this Zinfusion. For some reason it didn't add the plugin here. Okay, let's do it. ZinatsubFX. Oh, it failed.  Okay. All right, so now we can Ctrl Shift N, create a new MIDI track. Okay, let's press Ctrl Shift N to create a new MIDI track. And I'm gonna choose Zinfusion VST. Let's call this Zinfusion. It's called ZinatsubFX, but with the new interface it is Zinfusion. And there we have it. And it works. I'm gonna install more software that I use and I need. Let's go install Surge. And there is Surge Synthesizer. We can install the binary version. It's gonna be faster because it's not gonna have to compile everything. So if you read the output you can see that it's downloaded a Debian package right here. It's extracted it and it's created an Arch package from that. Now it's compressing this package so it can be installed. So ArchUtherRepository is using various means to pull in different software so it can be installed on Arch Linux based operating systems like Manjaro. Now it's installing the package and it's installed. If we now go into Edit Preferences and Scan for Plugins you can see it has found a Surge plugin. We can create a new MIDI track call it Surge. And we can select Surge from the drop-down menu. And of course it doesn't work. Hey, it's ANFA and it's eight days later. I have actually used this laptop with Ardor 6 that we installed during this video that you'll see and I recorded a gig and everything went perfectly. And right now I just went back to check this Ardor 5 problem with LV2 plugins and I removed Ardor 6 and installed Ardor 5 again and it works. It works. So I think that must have been some error in the Arch unofficial Ardor build and that it's already fixed.  I use Calf plugins. They are very important. I also use LSP plugins. Tap plugins. Maybe an easier way to do this would be to go to the pro audio group of packages and here we have a lot of stuff that you might want to install. For example, Adacity, Calf Caps, also Karla, the plugin host, Distro plugin framework, Dragonfly Reverb, of course, Abiumeter, yes. Drum Gizmo, oh yes. EQ10Q, certainly. Geon Kick, oh yes. Guitarix, for sure. Helm, yeah. IR LV2. You could also might want to install Jack Capture or something else. I don't like Linux Sampler at all. Liquid SFZ, I've heard it's a nice plugin. LSP plugins, yeah. MDA LV2, yeah, these are some good plugins, so I had problems with them. Ninjas 2 is a nice drum loop slicer. Noise Repellent is an excellent real-time denoising plugin. Actually two plugins. One is using neural networks. I'm looking for anything else I might need or want. Sample V1 is a very useful sampler. Set B3 is an excellent Hammond Organ Emulator. Sherlock LV2 is a great plugin for reading what's going on in your midi stream. Sonic Visualizer is a very useful program for visualising audio file contents. SWH plugins are useful too. TAP plugins, sure. Wolf Shaper, oh yes. Wolf Spectrum 2. X42 plugins are very useful. These are excellent audio metering plugins. Zam plugins are great. Zeta Audio Jack Bridge is very nice. It's a tool for bridging all applications to Jack. Zeta NG Bridge is a network Jack application to send Jack audio over network. I've made a video about that. And there's Zeta Rev 1 which is the very well sounding reverb. And now to install them I right click somewhere and then go install. It asks me to install Jack. I don't want to because that's optional. And I also have Jack already. Project M is a music visualizer. I don't need a visualizer plugin. And it should now list all the packages I want to install. Do we have everything? I think we have everything we need. Let's do it. Of course you need to give it your password. And now we just wait. In the meantime I'm going to close this Ardor session so the user interface can reload with the changed font size. Now we've mostly installed software that is present in the regular Manjaro or Arch Linux repositories. But we can also search plugins that are in the Arch user repository. Sometimes these are newer versions of the plugins. I'm always amazed how fast Arch Linux Packaging Manager works. On Debian it's like 10 times slower. But used to how slow it was it's already installed. Alright now we can just go edit, preferences plugins, scan for plugins. Now that's going to take a while. Now this is unlocked. I can enable the AUR search. What is there? That is not in the usual repositories. I don't know. I'm going to search for LV2. BitRot. BitRot are very useful plugins that are unfortunately not very popular. We can install BitRot plugins. Let's do that. It's going to download the sources of GitHub. And build them for us. These are very small so it shouldn't take long. I very like the BitRot repeat plugin which is very good for creating glitchy effects and you can very well automate it in Ardor. I like to use it on drumlines like Oh, Inveda studio plugins. Inveda studio plugins LV2. Yay! Inveda are also some great plugins. I need to give my password. BitRot is installed. We can install the Inveda plugins. It has 44 votes. People like these. Let's see how Ardor is going. Okay, it scanned everything. It has all the new plugins detected. Now we have a lot of plugins. Let's go EQ10Q. I use these a lot. So I'm going to add these two to my favorites. I think there's something wrong with this Ardor installation. It can't load any LV2 plugins. That's no good. Usually it just works.  And I really wished something like that wouldn't go wrong when I'm making a video. But we have our Inveda studio plugins installed. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to install Ardor 6.0. And hope it's going to work a bit better. So note that I'm searching in AUR and we have Ardor-Git. Let's right-click and install. It would like to ask us to remove Ardor first because these two are conflicting. If I were to edit the pkbuild file script, we could install both alongside but let's not do that. So I'm going to just remove Ardor. It's already removed. Now let's go back to the AUR search and I'm going to install Ardor-Git. You can see that our Ardor desktop or Ardor icon here is no longer pointing to anything. I'm going to unpin it because Ardor 6 is probably going to add a different icon. We can also run Karla the non-linear plugin host. Or we can add a plugin. Let's see if the LV2 plugins work in Karla. Let's go with Envada. I can go with special filters and let's just enable LV2 plugins. Nothing else. Envada Early Reflections Reverb Loaded. Here is the user interface. I really like this Early Reflection Reverb plugin because it has this three-dimensional visualization of a room and you can see it's your source and your listener and you can see the impulse response being generated on the fly and visualized. I've used this a lot in the Latspy version and LMS. Okay, so LV2 plugins work in Karla so that's some problem with Ardor. So we are not installing official Ardor builds so we can't complain to Ardor developers because the official builds probably work. Let's open Surge LV2 here and it works. Let's make it bigger. Just like it should. Alright, so Ardor 6 is installed. Let's see if it works. Ardor 6 have discovered configuration from Ardor 5. Would you like these files to be copied and used for Ardor 6? Yeah, sure. Your configurations file will copy. Ardor Okay. I don't know why this Git version has this weird icon. Welcome to this pre-release build of Ardor 6.0, pre-0, free 5.04. Yes, I know. Don't use it for production. Let's create a new session. Ardor 6 test. The main thing I want to know is if this version of Ardor is going to work with LV2 plugins because that's quite important and I have no idea why the Ardor 5 version didn't work and let's see if Ardor 6 works with LV2 plugins because Ardor 5 didn't want to. Control-Shift-N. Let's create a new MIDI track and insert maybe Zin and SubFX. Let's call this ZIN and here it is. I'm not sure if this is the LV2 plugin or the VST one. Let's add a new Mac. Let's call it MIDI track. Let's make a no plugin at all and let's insert the plugin manually. So plugin manager and here we should be able to filter by type. So LV2 Okay, let's show instruments only. Show all formats. I want just LV2. Okay, so we have LV2 instruments. Let's try Gion kick. Okay, so LV2 plugins work in this Ardor 6 build. That's good. It took a while to install because this laptop is not the most powerful one. It just has 4 cores but it did it. Alright, so we have a working workstation to do things. Now if we wouldn't have the Pulse Audio Jack module Pulse Audio wouldn't cooperate with Jack so let's try and find it and the package manager in case you need to install it. We can also install VCV Rack. So in AOR we have VCV Rack. We can install the binary package so we don't have to build it from source. Okay, that works. And you can see we have VCV Rack here. We can change the audio backend to Jack and we can make it feed into the system output but now we can intercept that we can clean this and use these outputs here and now we can record don't pay attention to the X runs. This laptop is under heavy load We have recorded audio from VCV Rack into order. Now the very last thing we can do to try and improve our Jack performance is to install a real-time kernel so like I said before we can go here type kernel and we're gonna have this thing opened. Now we have installed the real-time kernel but we are still running the non-real-time kernel so I will now reboot this machine I like to just press F12 and type reboot. Oh by the way, before we do that we can create a Timeshift snapshot and we can do it in two ways I'm gonna show you the graphical user interface way so we open up Timeshift, we give it our administrator password or root password and we can click here to create a new snapshot but I also want to show you how to do the same command line. So I go to Timeshift and if you run this command it's gonna show you all the help text to tell you what you can do with Timeshift basically we're gonna use the create option with comments so let me clear the terminal and I'm gonna go to Timeshift create and then comments and now I'm gonna type after it saw linking all the software I'm gonna press enter and it's create a btrfs snapshot. Now if I run Timeshift not shit, Timeshift list oh sorry I need to use sudo you can see we have two snapshots this was our first one and this is the second one I'm gonna close this terminal and I'm gonna open the graphical user interface and you can see we have the same thing here and we can double click here to type comment and this is gonna be our initial snapshot so it's nice and we know what is what and why these are here. You can see that our size has changed to 4.6 gigabytes so there's quite a lot of things changed in our in our system partition our file system alrighty I am going to now reboot the computer so I'm gonna go and you can do it from the main menu here leave and press restart or be cool like I am and just type reboot what I'm gonna do now is press shift to open the grub menu but it doesn't okay I think we need to change the configuration of grub so let's go sudo nano etc default grub dot grub let's give it the password and here it is grub timeout style and this line if you want to enable to save default function comment this following line and set grub default to saved okay grub default is set to saved but this was disabled and I'm gonna allow the generation of recovery boot modes because that's useful sometimes okay I'm gonna save this file and go update grub now I need to of course give it sudo and it should use this to remake the configuration files now if we reboot I think we should be good I'm gonna smash the shift key anyway give me the grub menu grub grub grub grub grub oh yeah we have the menu now we've got the grub grub menu and the absolutely amazing thing about time shift and btrfs is that now we have Arch Linux snapshots and you can see we have the snapshots that we've created so we can basically boot right into an older version of our operating system if we mess something up we can just select a different snapshot right here for example if we removed a working kernel and we don't have anything to boot we can just go here and boot an old version and this is something really amazing about btrfs and time shift snapshots now we can go for advanced options for mangero linux and here we can choose the kernel so mangero linux kernel 5.4 is the default one and we're gonna go for 5.4 13 real time and I'm gonna press enter and boot this one now every time I boot into btrfs I get this error and really doesn't mean anything and you don't have to press any keys it's gonna disappear really soon ok so we have logged in let's open the kernel dialog see what we've got and yes we are running the real time kernel well I hope you found this video to be useful thanks for watching and all the good luck with installing your own mangero system and configuring it for audio work it's not that hard many things that I've shown you are kinda like double checking that it's correctly installed now your mileage may vary every version of the mangero ISO that you can download is gonna be slightly different and also if you install using mangero architect or the graphical program it's gonna give you different results but overall it's really not that bad so thanks for watching I hope you've learned something and also big thanks to all the fine people who are supporting my work on Patreon and Liberapay if you would like to join them and help keep this show going please go to patreon.com slash anfa or liberapay.com now go install mangero and make some music hey I'd like to apologize because this video has taken way too long to finish wait a minute how do I undo this space is alright so I'd like to apologize because this video has taken way too long to finish however midway through the editing all the video editing open source hell broke loose and I had to abandon olive all together because it became so unstable I was unable to proceed and I had to go back to Caden live which also isn't working great and it's just crashing and hanging and so it was hell to finish this video but I done it yeah so I hope you'll enjoy it I really hope it's gonna be worth it ok bye
