Hello everyone and welcome to a special episode of Jurassic World the Game! Um, I thought I should record an episode today because there is a- Well, I don't think it's a new boss. I think we've had it before, but we can get a gold statue. So it's your favorite, um, long-haired man-child-man-man, uh, here. Okay. And if you're not interested in Jurassic World the Game, don't worry. There will be another video up in an hour if you're watching this just as this is uploaded. In which case, why did you write first? Why did you do it? Why did you- why? I'm only joking. It's funny. Uh, what was it? So yesterday- was it yesterday's video? A day before this video I should say. Um, I think it might have even been yesterday. Um, we covered the new, uh, dinosaur horror game. Like an initial reaction and overview, um, of the dinosaur survival horror game. Uh, which was called Death Grounds. Was it Dead Grounds? Death Ground, Dead Ground, it was- it was one of those two. Um, and since then, uh, the kickstart I think within 24 hours, less than that now, at least looking at it, um, has gone like 17? It went from zero dollars when I was recording the video. Oh my god, another one? Okay, fine. God! All the breaking out. It went from zero pounds of dollars, whatever it was, to 17,000. It needs 80,000, so, I mean, if it keeps on going that way, hey, I think I'll get there, I think. Just- just a little bit. Uh, oh my god, no! Oh, I felt my hair flop. Distracted us. It may- I've gotta- it takes all my concentration to do this, especially when it's the bottom one. All my brain probably- up to 490 DNA this could have been. 490? I was like, selling two cigarettes? Maybe, maybe, maybe even selling more. I'm not sure. It's not bad when you think about it, really. So, we have to keep- oh, we have to do this one. We have to do this one to get some big bucks. Ah, dammit! No, we got the end. 140. Well, there you go, it's another 10. Off we go. So, how much longer? We have 17 more days till we get the VIP Super DNA Productions out. So, we've got a while to wait. And then after that, it's the VIP Instant Recovery, which isn't too bad. And then another month after that, it's an extra slot. And then VIP Instant Hatch, which is finally what we're gonna want. Um, that's like the main thing. So, I have- would you believe?  So, we should be able to now crack out some good DNA. Well, you know, within a couple of days. Get some of the- cause I've got slight- let's have a look. Let's have a look. We'll sort, um, I mean, it should just stay alive. I'll just go through here. It's all creatures, right? Let's go Jurassic. And let's go to, I mean, look at this. Like 33 of those, 70 of those, 14. It's like so much. And when we get to Super Reds, it doesn't get any better. It's like 6, 4, 4, 8. Oh, 21, 3, 7, 2, 2, 9, 6.  So, you have loads of commons at the bottom. And you get to the tops of the legendary- ah, a little bit. In 19 micro-sources. 18 sucovime-misses. So, if- oh god, did I- Well, we'll go with those ones. And we'll just skip all the way, because it was a press- Okay, press the suture, just 5 hours. 5 hours isn't that bad. And if I remember correctly, press the sutures. Ah, it might be down here. It might be down here, actually. Because it's a- it's an amphibian. Yes, here he is. Okay. Look at that. Level 40, 3,000 power and 91 help. An 8- 1,870 attack. I've already got three of them. It's a guaranteed level 20. One more, and that's a- oh my god, wow. Look at that.  To not- to not get my hair cut. Until- well, actually, I could get it done now. I don't know. It's now just a go. I feel like you watch these videos, and you- it's the only reason you watch these videos.  It's like- there's two camps, right? There's one camp that's like, B, but get it cut already. It doesn't see- it looks horrible. And then you've got another one that's like, hey, it looks good to be real. Who are you? Should we have merchandise? It's just like, shave it, keep it. So, yeah, we can actually start getting, you know, some good- decent dinosaurs. So, how about we use these trades to get rid of some dinosaurs. If we click on Jurassic, and let's have a look. I mean, I've got a load. I mean, this is all Jurassic and it's random. So, Dymorphodon. So, I don't- let's do some research actually first before we do this. So, Dymorphodon. Can we check how much Dymorphodon costs? We're gonna go in here. So, we need to find it first. So, we need to go in here. We need to follow through Terrasol, because we've got a lot. Dymorphodon. Do we have a level 10? I guess we could just half it, right? Oh, it wasn't even placed. Okay, so here's a level 10, right? So, it sells for 1,800 DNA. Now, I have to hatch it in order to even, you know, sell it. So, that's taking a hatchery slot. It's gonna take even more time. Ooh, the rent is just done on the other computer. Oh, good. Well, I've got quite a few to rent. Like, three times a year. Possibly. Maybe even just twice a year. I run out of space on the hard drive that I use for all the raw footage. So, I end up having to compile loads of stuff, get a new hard drive, switch over, and it takes like maybe two days to get it all set up. And it just so happens that it's happening today. So, I do apologize. There was supposed to be an IELTS video for this weekend. Maybe tomorrow? I'm giving you two videos today. So, I love you. But maybe next, definitely next week. Maybe Saturday. I don't know. Guys, I don't know. I might feel a little bit lazy. So, 1,800. I'm not factoring in it. Oh, hold on. Oh, did I not get the other rewards? You're kidding me.  Oh, so 1,800. Right. So, let's see how many we can sell for. Because factoring, I don't mind selling them to Morphodon for like 100 or a couple, a couple of hundred less DNA. And for the fact that I don't even have to, you know, put it in. Also, there was like a limited offer for these guys. Yeah, so you can buy these packs for books. So, you can buy a rare pack, 1,200. Of course, you won't win books. Because, like, that was a thing that Ludio, back in the day, would have kept the books in there. And you would have, you know, you would have lost a little bit, but you would have got some back. So, you could do it quite a lot now. Now, they're like, nah. But there was something where, this is still costing money, though. I'm pretty sure I saw somebody's video. Wait, what? I can watch, I can get VIP Mystery Pack for watching a video. Oh, let's do that. Oh, I love these. I love these silent ones. At least she's having a good time. God, it reminds me. There's one advert I see, um, on YouTube. And it's like, this anime, it's like, it's 3D, and it's two anime girls. And they're dancing to this song. And all I, I just remember the start, I was like, Whatever you say can hold me back. And I'm like, oh my God. I was just, because I always say I'm like, five, four, three, escape. Jesus. Oh, it was off-center. Well, you know what? Can I keep on doing this? Can I do this all day? Was that it? That was, that was my one chance. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. I wouldn't mind doing it. Uh, over and over again. And Presses You Just Is 20,000? Oh, is it in a regular solid gold though? 20,000. Is it in solid gold pack? I think, yeah, it must be. Oh, God. No. Oh, I got loads of those. That's great. 30 missions to 30 missions. What on it? Oh my God. I still need to have a Diplotator Level 10 to please Barry. No, is it Barry? Was he Barry? I can't even remember. I want to say Barry. I feel like he was called Barry. God, I can't remember his name. Um, and hold on. So, yes. Custom Traits. 1,800 for the Morphodon. We're going to trade Jurassic, the Morphodon, and now it might give me an option of how many I can do. No, just one legendary. Now I could trade it for cash or I could trade it for DNA. Let's have a look. DNA. Half the price. A quarter of how much it costs. Damn. That's bad. Ooh. Now we'll do it one more time. Maybe we got a low. Maybe we got a low. Let's do it one more time. So we'll go Jurassic. The Morphodon. DNA. It's a round. It's a round. We'll do one more. 1,000 just to double check. Because what I do in this is that I trade coin for legendaries. For instance, let's do it in this trade. So coin, Jurassic. There's a T-Rex. 35 million coin. T-Rex acquired. That's really good. It would be also really good if I could use my custom trades to get the, like, you know, I don't mind it being a little bit less. Just a little bit less than how much it would sell to hatch them. I mean, I do get it. It makes sense to have them, you know, even cheaper because you're not putting them in the hatchery that way. But I don't know. It would be... I've got all this DNA. I'd love, like, to calculate how much I have if I just sold all my dinosaurs. Not the ones I've got, but the ones that need hatching. It would be, like, a million. It would probably be over a million DNA I've got. Because it's not just Jurassic. I've got so many Cenozoic creatures as well. If we go into here, we go into Cenozoic. We have 39 sarcastodons. 34 entlandons. I don't even know how much of them... Let's say an entland sells for 200 DNA. That's probably a low ball. So what's that? 2,000, 4,000, 6,000... Like, 5,000, 7,000 DNA just there, in that. And I don't even think it's 200. I think it would sell for maybe 500. I don't know. I don't know. Let's have a look if we can buy any. Can I buy any? Nope, nope. I own everything that isn't already Well, oh no. There we go. So it's 1,400. So it's about 700. So what's that? 21,000 DNA? Factoring 5. So it's 23,000 DNA. Something like that I have in just one creature. And then I've got loads of... I just want that to be a way for me to easy, like, get them all by... Okay, so let's collect all the coin. Oh, I'm not good to 99999'm. Is there anything? Is there any trade here? Did I have a check? 15. No, we'll not do that one. You know what, I need books.  Who knows, Ludya's gonna release another creature, and then I'm gonna lose all that. And you know, 27... it's not a good deal. But I really need books at this point. And DNA for VIP points. Hey who knows! We'll get that.  So how about we go and have a look at this boss now I think we need to get to level five, and I think there's a super mission. What is it? Complete the bow event VIP exclusive event Complete complete wait how many VIP exclusive events do I have? Oh? Did it just clock over or something? Why does it have like 20 of those? Okay, so we need to do 10 raid missions We need to reach level 10 as well so 10 raid missions reach level 10. Okay. Okay, so it's a cavern So we could use cavern creatures if we wanted to However, why would we do that when we have like Indoraptors that we could use so well, there's an Indoraptor He's gonna get it to like level seven by himself. What's it called? Ouroboros that Ouroboros sounds like a That's gonna say a cryptic, but that's not a cryptid. That's it cryptid Cryptic that's warhammer James. I know you're really into it at the moment, but this is different thing We're still got to make a video on that So um, I mean here just some low level ones. I guess I don't want to waste my Indoraptors too much Oh, there he is. Oh, that looks so cool now We need like to photoshop in like Indoraptor in there as if he's being squished and there you go. There's a million views Great idea James. Oh god, that's two hits. Oh, it's it's dangerous. It's dangerous But I love he looks it looks so big.  No, none of it like, you know moving everything Right so I'm gonna go for some reserves here. I could probably I think we could get a level 10, you know, we're not doing the raid missions That's the only downside. Ah Looks so cool. I love it. Have they put more detail into it. I'm gonna switch to Teradostro because I don't mind if Teradostro dies and if it does die then Indoraptor is coming in straight away And that's what I prefer Still a thousand attack is read or seven. Oh Look at it slither slither Just using the same animation as the titan about all there's Indoraptor looking beautiful gouges Oh, so yes Jurassic World dominion has starred filming again. Wait, what did it block? Did it have a block? Yeah, so that's good good news There was some fake news going on about I think the Daily Express in the Sun was saying oh Some people have tested positive for the virus on set and then it's now closed again Which isn't true because Universal have put out a post saying that That's not the case fake fake news. Oh God, oh, that's a lot.  You can do it. Oh god. How much is that? Oh, it's eight He's gonna go for it. It's it has to go for eight. I want to slow it down I want to see this animation It rose even though snakes. I don't think well. Yeah, I don't have a voice box But I do make noises. Oh, do they have a voice box? Maybe they do I'm thinking of sharks and it vanished and somehow killed Stiggy. Oh Slowly Indoraptor very cautiously enters the free So that was all of its attack so we can go for four reserves to block. Oh, it was a dammit I need to go for two Well, oh my god, we're not gonna get a level seven So one two factor in two and then four block I Think is the safest I've got to do. Yeah, he cuz he's gonna have six. Oh Indrepp looks so cool. This you know, it's just nice. It's nice to see a different battle arena Then the same old Over and over and over the same visitor center Right six, okay go for something do it and dare you yeah bugger you oh You could probably kill me 1200 Do I risk it and I'll go for four block. I'll go for four block. Oh He's got seven.  I think I would have survived for but oh It does it again.  Yeah, whatever. Okay. I might as well just go for four solid. Yeah. There you go. No, oh It kills a giant snake, but we're gonna die in a second anyway, whoo-hoo So that is level five visit. Oh, wow. Is that wishful thinking is that level five? Yes, it is level five. Okay Time to speed up the animations again. Go on just go for your four. Oh God Wow Oh, that looks sweet. That looks awesome. Oh Has it been ages since I faced I can't don't remember it So we use one pterosaur one carnival and we need to do two attacks of eight And all we need to do is ten. We just need to do ten of the What do my color of these missions so where we ooh So we need was it another pterosaur and another carnival. I don't use anything. That's too good though Actually, yeah, that'll do that'll do I start I've gotten interrupted that I'm not feeding because I need the food now I was slowly saving up for Indoor raptor gen 2 so I wanted I don't want to feed things. I just want to sell them That's all I want to do when I sell them and get as much DNA as possible That's why I've got interrupted like level one I don't want to feed it because it's gonna cost so much and I've got loads of level 10s I could use my instant VIP building To make another level 20 Indoor Raptor. Oh, should we do that? Because then it doesn't cost me D. Oh might cost me DNA, but it's not gonna cost me any books And I might as well use it, right?  Oh, oh, there it is They're tailed killed up in trouble. Oh, come on interrupt. You can do it. You could survive One hit. I'm assuming I you know, I'm not gonna risk it because he's usually always got one block Well, there you have it. We're killed him. So level six You know the problem is it's because it's a glacier or Sanozoic meaning that it doesn't you know I'm not getting any bonus for being a carnival or a fly or anything and then my highest level creatures I think you get a bonus for being a savannah, which is monolirion or something monotherium has it So we may as well just go I meant to go for one extra. Was that enough? I don't think so Oh, it was I meant to do that So level seven so that's one of the missions done We need to get it up two more levels one two three four five six.  Oh But Zal monodon is oh it is out Zal monodon. Yes this weird little hybrid Should be able to kill it and then we could block for three and we we may be able to take it to level nine It depends what it does it'll more than likely block and I think it keeps itself doesn't it so Sorry, it doesn't keep itself. So even if we do a little bit of damage or we went for one We're not gonna do it. We're not gonna do it, right? Okay. You know what risk the biscuit Let's risk that biscuit go for four reserves. He's got six.   All right fair enough 25. Well, we're still doing the thousand damage each time. Oh, it's six carnivores Oh, I didn't see that But we're getting good DNA. We're getting good DNA. Okay. So one more to run it on or a full team of carnivores Let's do a full team of carnivores Yes Those guys they'll do it those girls all dinosaurs and Jurassic Park are female except for when they're not Dr. Wu Oversights everywhere Must be horrible being dr. Wu Imagine that all you wanted to do was create perf you I mean you were like all the dinosaurs are female We've engineered them that way wrong. You didn't and then he's like. Oh, well Some I was Indoraptor wasn't it? Oh Indoraptors my pride and joy. Oh, sorry was it Indoraptor nose t-rex Yeah, t-rex you can't contaminate. Oh, it's blue. That was it. Sorry my bad blue And then by the end of fallen Kingdom that like contaminate blues DNA and then he gets knocked out Just needs a mozad Mike from three arm creations. He put it perfectly He just needs like one of his moustache twirls. He needs one of those Perfect. He'll die in the last one. I really wish he didn't he needs a redemption arc dr. Wu That's what he needs.  I don't know. It's it's it's cop out. It's cop out. It really is he needs to have a good send-off Is that enough? Oh, I think so. I think that was just enough. Maybe maybe one less could have done it Let's be a unicorn. Yeah Level 10 there you go. So we've done one two three four out of ten missions. Oh No I mean if we if we end battle do we keep that? I don't think you do actually so might as well I might as well just go all out. I think that might have killed him though. I don't think so. No, oh Yeah, but I didn't mean for that to be the case So now all we need to do is do a lot of damage Depending on how many the like the missions are Oh There it is. There's a full on a how much damage is that 29,000? Good Lord. Oh DNA production complete. I forgot about that. Oh, thank you, gang So it was 3,000 damage me do so there's one mission and there's another mission news to use to legendary So that's easy really all we need to focus on is dealing damage because I give so much DNA Unless unless that's what you want. So there you go. There's some more instant creation. What could we do? I do have Indoraptor, but the same time. I don't want to feed it. Look at that 20 Oh, we could make a level 30 for free. Well apart from DNA What do we get a level 30? I don't know We could get a level 40 we could I mean this is it though, right? I'm not gonna be using my super Raptor DNA anymore for Indoraptor It's not gonna happen What's the difference between level 10 and level 20 one thousand six hundred health and 900 attack So worth it That worth it level 30 will be a similar. It's not worth it It really isn't there's got to be something that I need that I can fuse up and that would be useful Zalmoxies being a tournament creature Come on. There's got to be something that like it's already fed and it just needs fusing. Aha dip below sutures That's more like it. Okay. Let's evolve you instant fuse only cost me 240 and boom Level 30 deplo sutures. Oh my god. This guy's gonna be yours. Okay, you know what? So they will feed them because there's only a couple of hundred thousand there it is 2,820 health and 1,187 attack for a rare for a rare That's crazy good. I love it. It's so good. Oh, and then we get a collect even more So that's 26 extra bucks for free and now we got to wait a week That needs fixing you need you need to know if that Lydia you need really need oh Look at all that. Okay. We're gonna wait. We're gonna wait. We're gonna claim the what's with it? Yeah, everything is clocking over constantly. Okay, so we do have a micro SD as well So we can't use too many good creatures here. We just need to do the missions are four out of ten basically So we need to do five thousand worth of damage to legendary creatures and a tron bomb So with that in mind We need a tron it on There you have it. We need that's a legendary. We need That's not a legendary You are a legendary and as long as we can do five thousand damage. That's not a great deal We don't need to worry. Yeah, and just put a tijanga source in whatever we don't need to worry too much about Getting it to level 12. It's just gonna make it harder the more damage we do to it We don't really need to kill it technically as long as we just do five thousand damage He'll reset his health on the next go. I think I don't need keeps it And that what you don't look at that Don't just jump with that animation. So you know what I'll do as much as I can I think he's gonna block is that five thousand worth of damage. That's it seven thousand and now all I need to do is die This should be relatively easy Whoo Three hits really I thought it would have only taken two And I haven't done this rex in here. I didn't need a bonus rex and oh Oh, I was like they were actually battling that was cool because that So does he slowly like move forward? How come I how come he's like super forward when it's that? Okay, let's do this animation and then he pops Yeah, so Oh He pops forward for the next one. So weirdly like there's some axes that's that's not working there. Okay Right, okay. I don't want to do any more damage to my really don't oh this looks good Oh my god, there's so many screenshots. There's so many thumbnails we could do. Oh, I don't know.   Yeah, okay. That's good There you go. That's more like it Wallop him in the door to younger source.  There you go. Hey Why is that innovation I need to see that Now I look so cool. Yeah. Yes me See oh seven thousand damage beautiful. So three more missions taking us to eight or sorry seven It should be a little bit more DNA a little bit more DNA and 450 DNA and the next one is 750 Okay, so to Jongasaurus and then something that can definitely survive and do a big hit Probably soprano time and then at a Jongasaurus. Okay, so we need to go in straight away. We're gonna do damage That's what we wanted. Oh, no, we do skip the health Right. Okay. Well the thing is it even if I do 20 million damage and he's only got 3000 health that still counts as 20 million damage So he went for two attacks here. I can survive One I don't know if I can survive too. So I'm gonna go for one block and two reserves All I need to do is 10,000 damage So I'm gonna switch into Jongasaurus go for loads of reserves and then soprano time will come in and I'll just go for seven Just go for seven or eight whatever I've got and hopefully that's that that'll definitely do over 10,000 worth of damage So hopefully Hopefully it'll see I've got 42 health and just like go solder and kill me. Yeah, okay There is something in the algorithm that if you're look at that even when it's not slowed down the animations acts up That's just so weird. I wonder if he does it off camera. Okay, so Five as long as well. He's got one block. He needed to have four block to stop me doing that much damage Oh soprano time. Look the colors pop. It's so nice I'm so sick. I've seen the purple visitor center orangey. It looks so good Look at that man, but it's so good go ahead and go and kill me go for five Camera goes skew if owners that wanted three and four must be three four animation. So there you go We did 22,000 damage. We doubled it, but 750 750. Oh my god Oh, we need to do one more attack of eight and that way 25,000 damage. Okay, here we go same tactic again now soprano Titan couldn't manage it Was not strong enough But this will be it. This will be the final battle. I think Because at eight was it eight you did 22,000 Pride trodden at level 30 should be able to do over 25,000 worth of damage and eight attack And then we get 300 DNA plus whatever the other DNA is as well, which is pretty sweet So I'll go for one block two reserves switch into jungle source. We probably could have survived Actually, I should have went for just three reserves, but I want to play it safe I want to make sure that he probably kills me with Tijangasaurus Again, like I said, there's something in in there coding something in their cold coding That means that they'll just kill me whether or not if I block before he wouldn't you wouldn't hurt me, but oh Never mind. They there you have it. Okay. Thank you He's got six now.  I'm so easy there you go So even if we do get blocked as long as we do eight attack and that counts towards it now Can we do 25,000 damage? Oh? Yeah, even if he blocks which he didn't do oh pride trodden looking gorgeous so happy oh Okay music went a bit funny there fantastic level 13 13,000 health the attack doesn't go up too much though. There you go five time So it so that is another two missions I think that is it done because we were on it. Yeah, so 34,000 damage pride trodden did So that is about it says 1,300 DNA for five bucks. Oh, and I did another one. Oh, they have it. I didn't mean to do that one So we've done that we got a level 10 look at all this so level 10 and did 10 raid missions, which was Wait, was it was that one? Oh? Okay, yeah, sorry so 12 18. That's 30 40 55 60 71 Plus so that's 76 76 super raptor DNA And you know what it all helps it all goes towards Oh, yes, look at that all goes slowly towards the 4,000 Super up to DNA we need oh wait is another one. Why does it tell me there's another one? Did I do something? Don't think I did okay Whatever it all goes towards interopted Gen 2 so we do still have a micro s DNA pack to get which you know each one 20 2040 so I've got a chance of getting 80 super up to DNA which is all those missions Plus we also get DNA for completing this. I oh, maybe we don't maybe we don't okay, so that's a lot That's a lot. Okay. Okay, so well at least if we do a full team of carnivores Here's my theory we do a full team of carnivores that galamimus hybrid whatever the offer code on hybrid Doesn't exist. I mean it's got half half attack, so it's still Still two thousand at the end of the day, but at least you know We're gonna get an extra 50% attack. That's the theory I think we have to go for three reserve here. Yeah, he had four Go for four, please please go for four or Nothing that'll do so one two three kills factor in two and then two reserves always good. That's the beaver way Factor in two.  He's gonna go for four Yeah, I think we can do this. I think we can do this I can't what is this one? It's a hybrid, right? Allogamous right has just a little bit less attack one two three That kills them factor in two because he could have it. You only went for one Now it's one two three.   Damn it. Oh Okay, okay So he's got two block. We have five.  I think so. Yeah, there you go That was a close one Really high-level dinosaurs, and that's not the hardest one yet. That's the first of the three battles Okay, at least there's not four battles and there's an interrupted gen two. Oh fantastic Okay, so the worst one is I think we should just go for a if we go for a carnivore team We have to go for a hub. Sorry an amphibian team because that way we don't get negated against anything We negate interrupt gen twos attack as well I don't know. Okay. Let's have a look. What's my best? Okay? We're gonna have to use the best. We're gonna have to We're gonna have this is hard. This is tough. Oh, he almost kills me in one hit. Oh my god That's not fair That's so not fair God, okay. Well, we're gonna I'm gonna have to go for two block because you might have three attacks. Okay, that's fine. That's fine go for it go for it This one this one's a lot harder this one's gonna be close really close Come on. Come on. Should we attack? I don't think so.  So one thousand four and attack turns into one thousand nine hundred attack Which is really gonna help out because we're gonna have to do quite a lot here So there you go, and I'm gonna I don't think I can die in one hit So I'm gonna go for three block. I may be can die into it. I Don't think so. I think I might have survived although be very close very very close Okay, so he's got nothing Two four six, I think I can kill him in three Damn, okay. Did you have one block? Oh, he might have but he didn't go for it Okay, so that's one thousand seven one two He's gonna have to go for three out of his five I think or three out of his four to kill me interrupt. Yeah, he's gonna go. Oh, there it is So he's got one block. That's it interrupt a gen two's done and goga sutures can easily kill it One two three and then one extra and ready gen two's mouth is clear That's where why is it white?  Oh my god. Oh It's gonna have to be a herbivore team a full herbivore team possibly That attack though down attack though and mono stagatops level 40 No, no ankle ankle odocus mono stagatops and That 14,000 health though 40,000 I think we're gonna have to we're gonna have to we're gonna have to go for the top three Oh all this for super DNA. I mean, it's what you gotta do You can kill me too. It's I'm gonna have to block have 14,000 help and three that's not fair. That's not fair Look at this and Lydia thinks this is fair Oh, that's fine go for that I forgot he could have killed me actually if he had gone for four attack and I had Tegno sutures saying that would have been so bad Okay, I'm gonna have to go for three reserves here It's good. He's going for a lot of blocks. Oh Now you do it. Okay. That's that's fine though. You've overextended. Oh It's still though. Look at how many attacks I have to go for three one two I have to go for three block as well. I want to make sure I survive and kill osteoporosis. Oh It's close Is it though? I don't know. I feel like it is I'm gonna I'm gonna have to switch in I'm gonna switch into Mono stagatops. I've got to I've got to Because the attack I've got double the attack of segment sutures, right? I think it's about 4,000 Okay, so he should go for six because he can kill me. Yeah, baby. Good. Good. Good Just gotta it's all about playing the box. That's where you play this system. You got to play this. Oh, I'm just five thousand attack Never mind. Okay, so one two.  Oh, not bad 8,000 attack in like 2,400 sorry 2,400 attack and 8,000 help and you know what they go if it all hit that would have been 100,000 damage and seven attacks. Oh Yes, we did it praise raptor G bus. Okay, there we go and Down oh, no, but we got the 40 we got the 40 is super after dinner. That's what we needed Whoo, I'll take it. I'll take it. So Oh, hold on we can this isn't you we can get how do I get more? Okay by missions of great. Thank you game And what does it say interrupter and next Interrupted gender a second attempt at fusing interrupt. It's hit in double as Rex gen 2 and velocity of the DNA created the Unstoppable interrupter gender to its design. It's a recipe similar to the original, but with DNA from an alternative source Is it blue? I don't know because I don't know if it is what else do you need to make interrupter gen 2? Is it just four thousand? I I oh, no, that's right. It's in dominance Rex gen 2 isn't it? That's the one anyway guys That's gonna have to wrap up this video, but I will collect. There you go some more XP great.

I'll see you later. Oh bubble. Hi


Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to From the Desk. We haven't done one of these in a while. Today we're going to be talking about marketing, something that I know very little about. What I use for my marketing is just like a grassroots kind of thing. I just get out there and talk to people. Luckily enough, I am a member of several different book communities, whether it be booktube, Goodreads, book likes at one point in time, which I don't even know if that thing still exists, the website. But I'm a reader and I love to read and I love to talk about books. What I don't do, I try not to talk too much about my own books and if people come across me, they come across me. Now a more active approach that has worked in the past is getting your books with book bloggers, getting your books with booktubers, Instagram, Bookstagram people. Even just a really pretty picture of your book on someone's Instagram account can move books. It just all depends on who you get your books to. Another thing is, I want you to keep in mind, you don't want to be using people. You don't want to start friendships just because they can help you out.  You don't need to be spamming people. This is probably going to turn into more what not to do than what to do. That's what it's turning into. Let me reverse tracks here. Buy ads. Amazon and Goodreads don't really do much as far as sales are concerned. I have found more success with places like Bookbub. Bookbub, you put your book on sale. You pay for an ad and hopefully you make the money back. Just because you pay for an ad does not mean that it is a good service. Just because it's a paid service doesn't mean it's good. Just because something is free does not mean it's bad. I made a lot of headway early on in my career by doing, I think it was eReader news today. I would put things on sale for 99 cents and then I would let them know. That was during the free and 99 cent book boom. That was about 2012. It was going on before even that but I'm talking like 2012, 2013. Right now free giveaways, like putting your book free on Amazon does not help anymore. I've heard nothing but bad stuff from the old timers who used to, I say old timers. It was only like five years ago, who used to do it, who used to see massive returns. You'll give away a buttload of books. Don't get me wrong, it just won't turn into sales because nowadays they just hoard free books. They download them, they sit on their Kindle tablet or whatever and unless they've already heard of you, they're probably not going to check it out. I know I have over 1800 eBooks on my Kindle account because of that alone and I'll never read. I probably will never read any of them because I've gone completely back to physical books. I got 1800 books just sitting on a Kindle that I'm never going to do anything with. At least they're not taking up space, I guess. Anyways, my approach to marketing has always been get to know the people who like the kind of stuff that you read. Don't make false friendships. Don't use people and don't spam people. If you're going to go and you're going to check, always, always, if you're going to hit up a blogger or someone on booktube or whatever, always make sure you check their, not really terms of service, but their review request guidelines. Always check to see if they're taking reviews. Always make sure you learn these people's names, all that stuff.  The whole purpose of that isn't really to sell the book but to build your brand and get your name out there. That's what blog tours are for. I wouldn't suggest paying for a blog tour because you're not going to make the money back off that. You might in the long run, but unless you're already popular, you're not really going to get the visibility that you have. And there's plenty of people out there doing it for the love of it. So find those people, see if they're willing to help you out. And of course, if you want to put in the money into a blog tour, there's no reason why you shouldn't. Just try things out. That's what I've been doing. Now, when I say don't pay for a blog tour, it never worked for me, ever. Not once. In fact, most of the blog tours I've done have been taken down the one that was paid for by my publisher. None of those reviews are even up anymore. So I don't know what's up with that, but those reviews are all gone. I checked some things before I did this video. But marketing, if you really want to get yourself out there and you are personable and you have a good personality, then definitely try Twitter and Instagram and those kind of places. Make a booktube channel. I don't even push my books here, really. But my revenue has increased significantly just by getting my name out there with booktube. I started this for fun, but it paid off in the end. So share your passions with people, and usually people will come around and be like, hey, I'll check it out. And if you're any good, they'll follow you. That is all I have for marketing. I'm sorry, I didn't go into more detail, but that's what I do. If marketing makes you cringe, just kills your soul, then find a publisher. I mean, that's really about as simple as I can get. Find somebody who will do all that marketing for you and then you just can retweet or share the stuff that they get. But not all of us need to be in front of a camera or on social media. Not all of us need to do that.  Same with Tom's pension. Anyways, so I think that's everything. If you have any questions I might be able to answer regarding marketing with my little little bit of experience, then please leave them down there in the doobly-doo. But until next time, I have been E, you've been U. This has been another From the Desk. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye.


The longevity prize has officially launched. This crowdfunded prize, or more accurately, a series of prizes, seeks to accelerate progress in longevity research through financial incentives for proposals, experiments, and collaborations. We'll tell you who is behind this, how you can get involved, and even some of the simple steps that you could take to possibly be awarded some of the prize money in this episode of Lifespan News. The longevity prize is a new, largely decentralized take on scientific prizes. It brings together elements of crowd sourcing and crowdfunding to enable the community to help guide the prize. Made possible by Vida Dao, the Forsyte Institute, the Methuselah Foundation, and Lifespan.io, the longevity prize was inspired in part by the Methuselah Mouse Prize, which launched in 2003 with the goal of stimulating advancements in new life extension therapies. The Methuselah Mouse Prize was often compared to, and won the support of, XPRIZE, which leverages the power of competition to catalyze innovation and accelerate a more hopeful future by incentivizing radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity. XPRIZE itself was inspired by another prize, the Ortig Prize, which was won way back in 1927 by Charles Lindbergh when he flew non-stop from New York City to Paris. This new prize seeks to build on the success of previous prizes, increasing engagement in longevity science, and spurring more investment than the prize is actually worth. The prize officially kicked off with a virtual opening ceremony on August 2nd, which featured numerous well-known names in longevity, sharing their ideas for future awards, and how we collectively can maximize the positive impact of these initiatives. While the official launch was recent, the prize has been in development for a while. It received $180,000 in funding from donors, including matching donors such as Vitalik Buterin, during Gitcoin Grants Round 12 in December of 2021. We made a video on this at the time, which you can find linked in the YouTube description. In addition to being funded by the community, prizes can be created by it as well. Ideas for prizes are shared in many different ways, including in the VitaDao Discord server, in a collaborative Google Doc, and during in-person events such as one that the Foresight Institute organized in San Francisco in May, and another during less-deaths longevity summer camp, which we covered in our previous video. Among the ideas for future prizes are a longevity biomarker database prize, a prize for resolving scientific controversies, and a prize focused on reproductive aging. These are still being discussed, and you can share your thoughts or put forward your own ideas through the links in the video description. The initial prize that is currently underway is the Hypothesis Prize, which is awarding $20,000 in addition to smaller amounts for other winners for ideas about promising but underappreciated areas of longevity science that should be pursued. The organizers point out that there are decades of scientific work, including work in foreign languages, that is often overlooked and ignored, and that this trove of information can be mined for actionable insights that can be applied to longevity science today. They mention the specific example of Heterocronic Parabiosis, which was experimented with well over a century ago, and is now a popular area of rejuvenation research. The longevity prize is actively seeking submissions, and the application process is extremely simple. Anyone can submit, and all you need to do is craft 1-3 pages worth of text explaining the area of study that you think is undervalued, generate a hypothesis for making progress, and propose an experiment to further investigate this approach. Submissions will be reviewed by a team of judges and may be eligible for follow-on funding or additional community support. Applications for the first round of prizes close at the end of 2022, so get started now and let's work together to advance longevity science for the benefit of everyone. Learn more, submit, or donate at LongevityPrize.com, and subscribe to LikeSpan News so that we can keep you updated. I'm Ryan O'Shea, and we'll see you in the next episode.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasewrakes.com here, coming at you with a 2020 Panini Prism Football Cellopack. This is break number 95, and we're giving away two of those quick hit football mixer spots that's currently on the site for that price point right there. So yeah, you can win a spot for a fraction of the price, which would be pretty nice. So let's do, gotta do the break first.  There are the teams right there. Let's roll it, randomize it. 11 times for names, excuse me, for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, and 11 the final time. Six and a five, 11 times for the teams. One, two, three, four, eight, nine, 10, and 11 the final time. What's the biggest card I've pulled? I think if you look at the thumbnail for this video, that's one of them. All right, so this is how it all shakes out. There's the second part of the list right there. Yeah, that's still the top. I don't think that's, I don't think we're gonna top a $200,000 card. Which just doesn't happen a lot. All right, let's just print and rip. Right, Anthony, two spots plus one more filler. So we're very close. So there's an emergent insert, Joe Burrow, and that's gonna go to Robert M. in the bangles. Let's see what's in here. Maybe a big quarterback name here, Cole Beasley, Russell Wilson, Anthony Jennings. All right, nothing too wild there, but there are gonna be a couple people here that are gonna win a couple spots in that quick hit football mixer. Two divisional spots right here. Good luck. Let's grab everybody's names. New dice, new list. And let's roll it and randomize it. Five and a six, 11 times for all those names. 11 again. Top two after 11, good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, and 11 in final time, good luck. No, that 48 box break is not on the schedule. Only things that are sold out are on the schedule. I think we're doing that Thursday at some point, but TBD on the time. All right, so with only two spots being given away, obviously there's a lot of sad people here. From three on down, you can commiserate with each other. Very sad times, but thanks for trying. I appreciate it. Top two are happy because you are in that divisional quick hitter NFL mixer with a chance to win a $3,000 high end NFL kickoff mixer spot, the 48 boxer.  I'll see you next time for the next break.

We do not know. Many, however, we know from the dates on their tombstones were only Bitburg Cemetery. We commemorated the potential good and humanity that was consumed back then, 40 years ago. We celebrate today the reconciliation between our two nations that has liberated us from that cycle of destruction. Look at what together we've accomplished. As the mayor of Bitburg has said in that time, there have been some 6,000 marriages between Germans and Americans. And many thousands of children have come from these unions. This is the real symbol of our future together. A future to be filled with hope, friendship, and freedom. The hope that we see now could sometimes even be glimpsed in the darkest days of the war. I'm thinking of one special story. That of a mother and her young son living alone in a modest cottage in the middle of the woods. And one night as the Battle of the Bulge exploded not far away and around them. Three young American soldiers arrived at their door and standing there in the snow, lost behind enemy lines. All were frostbitten. One was badly wounded. Even though sheltering the enemy was punishable by death, she took them in, made them a supper with some of her last food. Then they heard another knock at the door. And this time four German soldiers stood there. The woman was afraid, but she quickly said with a firm voice, there would be no shooting here. She'd meet all the soldiers, lay down their weapons, and they all joined in the makeshift meet. Pines and willy had turned out were only 16. The corporal was the oldest, 33. Their natural suspicion dissolved in the warmth and the comfort of the cottage. One of the Germans, a former medical student, attended the wounded American. But now listen to the rest of the story through the eyes of one who was there. Now a grown man, but that young lad that had been her son. He said, the mother said grace. I noticed that there were tears in her eyes. She said the old, familiar words. Come, Herr Jesus, be our guest. And as I looked around the table, I saw tears, too, in the eyes of the battle-grooming soldiers. Boys again, some from America, some from Germany, all far from home. That night, as the storm of war tossed the world, they had their own private armistice. The next morning, the German corporal showed the Americans how to get back behind their own lines. And they all shook hands and went their separate ways. That happened to be Christmas Day 40 years ago. Those boys reconciled briefly in the midst of war. Surely we allies in peacetime should honor the reconciliation of the last 40 years. To the people of Bidberg, our hosts and the hosts of our servicemen, like that generous woman 40 years ago, you make us feel very welcome. Veel en dank. And to the men and women of Bidberg Air Base, I just want to say that we know that even with such wonderful hosts, your job is not an easy one. You serve around the clock far from home, always ready to defend freedom. We're grateful and we're very... This country and every country live in the sunshine of liberty. Our victory was great and the Federal Republic, Italy and Japan are now in the community of free nations. Paul, and proclaimed that he too, was a Berlinite. But today, freedom-loving people around the world must say, I am a Jew in a world still threatened by antisemitism. I am an Afghan. And I am a prisoner of the Gulag. I am a refugee in a crowded boat foundering off the coast of Vietnam. I am a Laos, a Cambodian, a Cuban, liberty to protect life and to honor and cherish all God's children. That is why the free Democratic Federal Republic of Germany times and wars of yesterday and are called back the millions back to life. But on this 40th anniversary of World War II, we mark the day when the hate, the evil and the obscenities ended, and we commemorate the rekindling of the American band playing the German national anthem. While much of the world still huddles in the darkness of oppression, we can see a new dawn of freedom sweeping the globe, and we can see in the new democracies of Latin America in the new economic freedoms and prosperity in Asia, in the slow movement toward peace in the Middle East, and in the strengthening alliance of democratic... Let us live in peace. Thank you, and God bless you all.


This is a historic moment for marketers to take advantage of the new technologies that enable us to engage with our customers, our suppliers, and our consumers as never before. And so I really encourage people not to be swayed by the technology itself to understand how to command the technology in a way that is focused clear about the objectives and is most likely to deliver value to consumers. And by delivering value to consumers, I'm talking about a long-term sustainable strategy that will engage your customers, not only exciting them to create content and data for you, but to make it a reciprocal relationship that taps into their values so that they become long-term, loyal customers and the biggest marketers of your brand.


I'm Gabby and I'm from Pasco and when I first came to Hungu Generation was five years ago my friend invited me and I felt a really a peace in my heart when I was here and I just never came back and I then I was going down a bad road in my life and I started getting in bad relationships I started using a lot of drugs I was always on a lot of drugs I was always drinking I had an eating disorder I wasn't even aware of until I weighed myself one day and then I saw I lost 50 pounds in two months and I didn't like to be around people I didn't like to go anywhere I was always angry and I was always had a negative attitude and I was in such a dark place in my life that I was willing to sell my soul to the devil and then one day I just said I don't want to go down a road where I'll end up somewhere that I don't want to be and I can't get out of it and and I was scared because I didn't know where I was gonna end up and I I said I need to go back to Hungu Generation I need to feel that peace again in my heart and as soon as I came back as soon as I opened the door my ankles were shaking and I just I threw my hands up and I just surrendered everything to Jesus and that day I accepted Jesus into my life and he just changed my attitude I I still it's like he took the negativity and he he showed me that with him he he takes out everything that's not of him and today I'm getting baptized to to do to commit myself to Jesus to leave that person behind that I thought I was becoming to bury that person behind me to be born a new person with Jesus Gabriella do you believe in Jesus Christ as God's son and your personal Lord and Savior yes you promise to follow him with good and clear conscience for the rest of your life based on your faith confession and your commitment will baptize you in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit


If you believe, if you get some money or wealth, your life is settled, not at time for yoga. All these things make some convenience happen in our life, but doesn't really transform us in any way. If you understand this one thing, and now yoga, yoga pursuit of spiritual process will not work as a sedative for the population, but will act as an invigorating force. So, whether you have one or ten, if the human child is not born like other creatures, the moment you drop them, they run around and find their food and run away, any other creature, let's say tiger is born. Ninety percent he is ready-made, only ten percent. The mother or father has to teach them a little bit, only ten percent. Ninety percent it's all inbuilt for him. Everything he needs to know about his life is there within him. With a human child, ninety percent you have to teach and groom, otherwise it won't happen. If you don't do the right things, a child can come up like an animal. So, this is not because of one child or ten children, it is the nature of people that how people are attached to their children, their idea of well-being is to pour them with gifts. Well, if you really want your children to be well, you must give them strength in body, in mind, in emotion, in energy. If you give them lot of strength and stability, wherever they go, they will be well. If you just give them money, when they lose it, they're lost. They just don't lose their money.  A lot of times, not just in one place, everywhere. Because they think the moment they lose their money, they've lost their life. No? If you lost money, time for yoga. This is why Patanjali started the Yoga Sutras, which is a tremendous document on life with half a sentence. If you still believe that by getting married or unmarried, your life will become fulfilled, not at time for yoga. If you believe, if you get some money or wealth, your life will settle, not at time for yoga. If you believe, if you build a new home or buy a new car, life will be fulfilled, not at time for yoga. If you know all these things make some convenience happen in our life, but doesn't really transform us in any way, if you understand this one thing, and now yoga. So, time has come for China and now yoga. Time has come. Only thing is, you have to make the authorities realize it's now and now yoga. We can make political commentaries about China, about this, about that. But all said and done, this is the only society which has moved a billion people from utter object poverty to reasonable levels of well-being in a matter of two generations, in fifty years' time. Nowhere, nowhere has it ever happened. Right now India is sitting on such a threshold, what China did with great force, India could do it democratically, we're sitting on the threshold, but still there are distance to walk. We still need to walk the distance. So, we can give commentaries about this and that and many things, about freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of yoga, freedom of pursuing my own goals and stuff. But you must understand your present well-being has happened because as a consequence of forceful determination by somebody, keeping a whole generation in abject conditions of poverty is a worse crime than forcefully doing a few things. So, for China, the time for yoga has come. Not the twisting, turning yoga that's becoming popular there. Real yoga, yoga means to obliterate the boundaries of your individuality. Right now, you must understand this, a nation like China has grown because of a strong sense of this is what we will do, determined approach towards the nation. Now that those goals are achieved, slowly relaxing that must happen, I think they're doing it. But still, to benefit this generation, it may not be fast enough. So, it needs to happen, not by protest, not by doing this and that, but bringing better understanding in the minds of those who administer the nation that this will not work like opium of the past. Because you must understand this, the religions of the past were described as the opium. Because they were, they were putting people to sleep. So, yoga pursuit of spiritual process will not work as a sedative for the population, but will act as an invigorating force. This understanding must be brought to those who administer that nation. That is the way to take it forward, not by protest, not by threatening their some sense of stability they have created for the nation, by threatening that you are not going to get anywhere. So, about you being the only child, because your parents were prevented from having two, they gave you two children's food to you that's happening worldwide. Most children, if you look at them, it looks like they ate two or three children's food. Look at our children squawking and nicely growing up, because we make them burn.  This is happening across the world. Children who come from affluent societies, obviously their mothers wanted to have three, four, five children, but they had only one or two. So, all that five children's food, they want to feed all of them into one investment. So, on all levels from food to toys to wealth to everything else, this is happening. Another reason is this is the first generation or the second generation which is seeing both the parents going off to work, not just working around the house, going away to work somewhere else. So, how to keep the child engaged, throw some gadgets at them, keep them busy with some video game, it doesn't matter they're shooting everybody in the world. But give them many things so that before they open their mouth and complain, throw more things and more things and more things, because parents are feeling guilty that I am not spending enough time with my child. This has become a universal problem. The only way to handle their guilt is every day when they're coming back from office, pick up one gift and throw it in the child's hand, so child doesn't complain and goes on. This is not the way to do things. We need to find solutions for this. We need to find ways that children at least will grow up in a community. You can love them for thirty days in a year. As much as you want, rest of the time they're in a place where they will be treated as sensible creatures, not as pampered nonsense. I would like to see a lot of Chinese children in Samskriti.


Aloha, welcome to Talk Story with John Waihei and those of you who have watched us from time to time know that every once in a while I'd like to take advantage of a few friends and just have a conversation, a kind of freewheeling conversation about the state of affairs in our nation and in our state and you know I so I I have these people on call and for this afternoon we are going to be talking to Jay Fidel now Jay is the one of the founders so it's not the main founder of Tink Tech Hawaii and so he has been doing a lot of shows that deal with the issues of the day and he is especially fond about talking about the president he's very fond of doing that now I didn't say was very fond of the president but he's very fond of doing that so I thought it would be fun to have Jay with us today and the title of our show is Apocalyptic America and the reason for that is because we are becoming so concerned about what's happening in our country that doesn't even resemble the types of things that we were taught in elementary school about the advantages of the American democracy and the question for all of us is where is all of this going to end up what happens by the end of the 21st century with our country with our state and you know ultimately without planets so why don't you help me greet my guest this afternoon Jay Fidel from Tink Tech Hawaii and he is sitting at his for his own computer so Jay welcome welcome you know every once in a while I'd like to do these fun shows with you and here we are doing them with you John and thanks for having me on there's so much to discuss and we should be candid about about apocalyptic America with a K yeah okay not everybody is but we should be well you know here we are look look it's what's happening we got a a political party and a president not the entire not necessarily all in step but the moving us this whole country so far to the right and it's being opposed by a group of by the Democratic Party who doesn't even who has made the idea of Democratic Socialism fashionable got candidates openly saying I'm a Democrats openly saying this so you know where's all this polarization leading to Jay you got any idea what what might be in store for us I think we have a huge divide in the country polarized in so many ways it's not only wealth disparity it's all kinds of social issues and and it precedes Trump he takes advantage of it he understands it he makes the breach wider but you know the country has been sort of going polar polar polarized oh gosh for 30 40 years I think it started at the end of Vietnam or even during the Vietnam War but now it's really accentuated isn't it and marvelous job and accentuating it only in the past three years well you know I just had a conversation what two days ago with a friend of mine who is a conservative Republican and but not necessarily a Trump supporter but a conservative Republican and what he kept emphasizing to me was that in his mind Obama was as bad as Trump because of all this in the word that he used because of all the socialist things that he did and I really couldn't I didn't know offhand what though I don't know offhand what Obama did there was so socialistic so I asked him that I said but what are you talking about well national health care socialistic platform that builds on the insurance company what do you know do you think well first of all do you think that Trump was preceded by eight years of rampant socialism I can't you know every good dictator likes to have a scapegoat matter of fact I think it's essential to emerge to rise up as a dictator you have to find scapegoats I mean it was clear what Hitler did he found a number of scapegoats including but not limited to the Jews the Catholics the Gypsies the homosexuals socialist he played he played on scapegoating and that's exactly what Trump does the division helps him he plays on you know pitting one side against another but you know the fact is it's fertile ground in this country as never before and and I think you have to ask yourself why why is it fertile ground now I guess an easy answer would be you know you were talking about things you learn in elementary school about you know a representative government and maybe a lot of people didn't learn it that well I think I think a good part of this country didn't learn it that well or if they did learn it they didn't like it and they didn't and they forgot it immediately and they've been you know torn away from it now and they don't understand about three branches of government they don't understand the miracle of the Constitution they don't understand what the founders had in mind they don't understand the social compact you can't have a country without a general understanding of you know fundamental rights and fundamental privileges and fundamental fundamental respect for humanity for the next guy caring about the polity and the community and I think we lost that somewhere it's interesting that we just had a as you know and we can't the elephant in this conversation is we just had an impeachment process I don't know if you should actually call it a trial but it was an impeachment process which our founding fathers American founding fathers establishes a way to bring balance and or at least avoid the excesses of power and it was absolutely interesting that the entire process turned out to be a study of power those that had the vote got an absolute result that they that they look for and those that didn't just got left behind I mean could you see for example what happened to the the leaders like Everett Dirksen and other great American statesmen of the Republican Party I mean where are those people that'll stand up for right no matter what we had one in the case of Romney I believe but that's you know but you know you know years ago when when you and I came up we thought that Washington and the Capitol especially the Capitol were filled with very important people who deserve to be there who understood the mechanics of government who understood what it was to represent the people and constituents and all that and to to make good policy decisions and and make make the government responsible to implement them you know it was I had a lot of respect for the people in Congress tonight when I grew up and when I went to law school and looked at it from afar but I don't have respect for them anymore I do respect the Democrats I want to say Adam Schiff is my hero you know as a as a lawyer you know if you listen to the arguments he made they were brilliant and they were well articulated it was a masterful work of bringing out the evidence and explaining the evidence and persuading on the evidence but I must say the Republicans don't fit in the category the Republicans are not people you can admire as a group what they did in this impeachment what they have done in so many ways like confirming judges who were not qualified by sitting on bills that the country needed you know by by refusing to consider any initiative by the Democrats I mean that's that's not what it's about those guys don't understand how Congress should work well really you know what happened right after the trial what's happening right now is a whole a lot of retaliation is going on people are getting fired they're getting replaced by there's a kind of a movement toward the purity of the administration branch and and Congress is going along with this where is this balance of power well I I think that the Constitution forgive me but I I think the Constitution is under profound attack it may never recover you have you have the Senate is completely dysfunctional thus making the Congress dysfunctional you have the president enhancing his power violating the law in plain sight you know he could shoot somebody in Fifth Avenue nothing would happen to him and he's he's done a lot of crime and nothing has happened to him nothing will happen to him and this this acquittal in the impeachment process as you say is a lesson to into this government this country and all who follow oh this guy this guy we're really busted here John well I tell you what this guy's charges and the evidence against him made Richard Nixon look like a school school kid compared to what he's been charged with I mean using a foreign power to influence an election and then not there is no repercussion repercussion for it because well he didn't really mean to do that you know and all and worse I I just well there's no Congress he is body blocked Stonewall Congress at every turn not only on this but on so many other things think back to the Mueller investigation he did the same thing on that and and completely suborning the the Attorney General he owns the Attorney General the country so if somebody does create a crime somebody does do a crime including him the Attorney General is never going to prosecute unless Trump says so so you know what you have is a complete breakdown and we've had it for a while but now it's it's much worse and how can you rely on this government to do what it's supposed to do you know to me the question is where where we go from here how can we actually survive as a democracy I was just gonna ask you that question because you know we're talking about the stuff that makes the headlines recently made their headlines recently but this is an administration that's undercut environmental protection is simultaneously as as we're going through the impeachment trial we're putting judges in positions that they weren't qualified for putting people in positions that they weren't qualified for I mean it's over and over and over again and they seem everything seems to smack of money it's all about the dollars you know you play you pay to play pay to play is just it's accepted it's accepted you know what do you do and it will be accepted going forward all the more so if let me ask you a question job you know given the obstruction clearly we have had that given you know the whole affair in Ukraine and and given the nature of it and and Donald Trump's you know his responses his various responses to various criminal charges against him is does it stop there I mean to me it's worse that he obstructed and then he played with the 491 million and used as a lever I tell you what really offensive but I believe I'm asking you if you believe whether that's the limit well I'm going to help you out we are going to dwell in that answer in a few in a minute when we get back from this short break hello how I'm Lillian Cumick host of Lillian's vegan world the show where we talk about veganism and the plant-based diet located in Honolulu Hawaii I'm a vegan chef and cooking instructor and I have lots of information to share with you about how awesome this plant-based diet is so do tune in every second Thursday from 1 p.m. Aloha Aloha I'm Kili Akina the host of Hawaii together on the ThinkTech Hawaii broadcast network Hawaii together deals with the problems we face in paradise and looks for solutions whether it's with the economy the government or society we're streamed live on ThinkTech biweekly at 2 p.m. on Mondays I want to thank you so much for watching we look forward to seeing you again I'm Kili Akina Aloha welcome back to talk story with John why we just ended our short break and we have as our guest this afternoon Jafidel and J was just leading into a most interesting discussion he actually posed the question for the host and he as a host himself we sort of take turns doing this and he's asking me Jake hit it what are you asking me okay then what's happened given what we've seen of Donald Trump and this this particular administration and what he's done and how he's covered up the things he wants to cover up and they kept things secret in the way he's undermined the press for example and undermine the truth alternative facts would have you is do we know the extent of this we we don't know what Bolton would say them there could be all kinds of stuff there and my intuition I'm asking about yours is that there are other criminal activities that this president has undertaken which we don't know about and we may never know about but I feel in my heart I'm asking you what you feel in your heart that there's a lot I agree with you I think there's much more I think we've only seen that as they say the tip of the iceberg and if people dig deeper now one of the interesting phenomenons that are happening is that you know he is his his strength on the Republican in the for though among those individual citizens who called who identified himself as Republican has remained pretty strong it's it's lessened it's it's taken a few hits and among the Democrats obviously there's you know almost united against him but among the people who considered themselves independent so free thinkers there's been a kind of a major shift and I think that when Donald doesn't have the same usefulness that he currently has you know what's interesting about this president is that he may be as worse he may be actually worse than we might believe in and as you as you suggest but he's also useful to a whole bunch of other people's agendas they are those for example Mitch McConnell I can see Mitch sitting down with the president and basically saying you know you bring me the right kind of judges and I'll make sure that you stick around to keep a point in them I can see the big oil or big money people in this country saying you know you let us do what we want and make a fortune and we'll we'll keep backing you up now at some point in time some point in time the power is going to shift and the question for that I that I my answer is couched when that happens when that happens I believe that people are going to make him pay the piper but what do you do I have I have some very close relatives people I admire who tell me that they will never never not support Trump our current president because of their belief their religious belief about the sanctity of life and as long as he says that he is going to do whether it's true or effective or he can actually do it or not as long as he keeps saying that he's going to you know going to be anti-choice they will always vote for them they don't even want to they don't even care I had somebody actually this person tell me that you know God in the Bible God picked kings who weren't the best people but he used them to do good things and I'm thinking to myself yeah but he also dumped a couple a whole bunch of them when they messed up so you know maybe maybe the Lord's going to get tired of this guy sometime you know I don't know but yeah the answer your question eight but here we are Jay we're talking about all of this stuff going on at the national level but here in right here in Hawaii we've had a police chief put on trial for corruption we've had all of this things going on we got at least three active protests what's happening in Hawaii I mean how does that happen we're not in the Trump spectrum of politics so how do we get to where we know you'll be a great guy to address that job because I think it's a question of leadership it's a question of the governor not only you know to sign proclamations or you know accept or veto approval veto legislation but to be a moral center to give us guidance give us leadership bring us together when we have to come together help us focus on the priorities and if you don't have anybody doing that things get scattered and right now I'd say they're completely scattered they're scattered on a fiscal end we we can't afford the rail and we also now we can't afford fixing a Blaisdell Center either we have unfunded liabilities enormous enormous amounts of unfunded liabilities which will catch us we have a fragile economy that's that's based on you know tourism only and if anything got in the way of that like a virus and people stop coming here oh there would be an economic crash in almost no time so we need leadership and and right now I think I think we're very fragile very exposed well let's take let's take let's take an issue like that let's let's take you know we'll talk about leadership there's an election coming up it's an opportunity for us to as voters as participants to step up and you know vote some leadership into at least a mayor Oreo race and so you know how does that happen I mean what I I don't know where to go with it frankly I don't know what kind of what would be the ideal leader in your in your I don't want to ask you who you're supporting over who's running I understand well I I think you know I think actually I used to say that nobody should run for the legislature until he had finished or she had finished the legislation 101 but that that's that's a fictitious course that doesn't exist right but the idea is that you have to have some experience in legislation and actually although people always make fun I think lawyers make better legislators that's just because of their education they understand that you know the nature of government the nature of laws and unfortunately you know I think a lot of lawyers would never consider running for the legislature well I think a lot of qualified people would never consider running for any office in the state of Hawaii it's dangerous business it doesn't pay that well and for your effort to get you know you you get hurt so you talked about lawyers but one of the tendencies of lawyers might be the fact that they don't like change you know this the whole basis of the legal foundation has to do with what we could we refer to in law school as tarry decisive and usually if you have a bad decision starry decisive means you keep making the same bad decision so I I you know where where do we find people who you know Bob Oshiro who was a franamine and one of the you know I believe heroes of contemporary Hawaii used to always talk about the dignity of political involvement that it was actually a higher calling I mean how many people actually believe that you know that they're there to do good as opposed to well let me let me be controversial you know I had some of the legislators come came out the last session and I said well what did you do they said we balanced the budget and I thought to myself you know that's let's get you a seat in my book that gets you a seat because basically you know under our constitution and laws we couldn't spend an unbalanced unbalanced budget anyway we're cash finance ultimately what we need to do is look at how we spend it you know what are we investing in who we're doing it seems to me anyway that Hawaii is going through a kind of a crisis we're trying to figure out what what our values are you know it we are right in the middle of the 2020 census and what the census is going to show us is that more native Hawaiians live on the mainland or on the continent I should say or elsewhere then live here on in the islands and I'll bet that if we had the data it'll also show that more people who grew up here live elsewhere than in Hawaii at this point in time so the real question ought to be every time we do a project every time we build a rail a railroad from on the island every time we develop high rises in kakaako we ought to ask ourselves who benefits who is the benefits who benefits by the fact that for example I grew up in Waimea which on a big island which was a sleepy town it's great it looks like Napa Valley and so we now have all kinds of people moving in but the taxes have gone up so high that local people are going to Vegas you know where energy costs the rest of it are we going through a time when people are starting to reassess the values that government is supposed to have here as well as the fact that we sure would like some leadership we've had this conversation about the brain drain and you know the hollowing out of our middle class and and the lack of housing for oh how long John it's a long time and I think that you know at this point I think actually think we've talked ourselves out and it's time for action it's time for somebody to you know put a toe in the water and actually we got we got one minute I got a minute left give me some hope this has been a too dark too dark conversation any signs of things getting better either nationally or locally but my hope is that the millennials will get into politics that they will understand what you and I have been talking about they will understand both at the state level and the federal level they'll realize that the system can be made to work that they can participate in it and the government is no good without the people and the people are no good without government each one must engage with the other and when they learn that lesson there'll be a powerful force maybe more powerful than the previous generation so my optimistic view of it is that somewhere along the line and somewhere soon I hope the millennial crowd the young people will understand that they need to get involved you know in the community at a political level so we're going to be the old guys that invite in the young guys for a change not like our parents who thought that we were crazy anyway thank you very much Jay really appreciated having you on in this conversation well the thought for apocalyptic America is that fortunately we have a new generation and they might save us all aloha and we'll see you in two weeks


Universal Studios Orlando. I am so excited to see all the Christmas decorations and to meet the Grinch Hopefully so let's go do this Seusset landing is so decorated. I love all of the garland. I love the white trees. I love the little trees I love the ornaments even the blue clocks I'm not sure where we go to meet the green guy, but I'm gonna guess it's somewhere near Grinch miss But I was wrong. It's actually down here by the mulberry street store Literally, I feel like they literally just put garland with lights over everything Which is not a bad thing at all. I feel like there's never enough Christmas. You can always add more It's about a 45 minute wait, but they do have some of the who's actually out entertaining people Oh, how fun And you can actually find many and many of Grinch Christmas stuff They even have a Grinch Christmas tree in here.  I really like it a lot You know, I like all white trees with lots of lights But they added so many other cool Grinch factors into it. You just can't stop and love it And how about your very own Grinch spirit jersey? I want this actually I really really do want this Look at that one who actually carried all the presents through Susan landing That's hysterical and you got a couple other ones that are walking behind someone in an electric wheelchair The music really keeps you occupied as you're waiting in line They said it's about a 45 minute wait. We've only been here 10 minutes and we moved half the length So luckily the Grinch is right in there Oh, no, here he comes What do you guys want a picture with someone that looks like me so festive thank you Thank you. That wasn't a compliment. You know, if you dyed this hair green you might be as attractive as me We'll talk about the belly Make room for the booty guys, look out It's a danger zone danger looks inviting, but it's not in fact safe. Oh, okay. Yeah dangerous fun danger I like it. This is freaky. It is. Do you bring that thing with you everywhere? Uh the bathroom here The bathroom not the bathroom. You should bring in the bathroom. I know that would be something Love to watch you walk away Wow, seriously the Grinch is one of the best character meeting greats. I've ever ever ever done He is so awesome I just want to go back in line and then hear what he has to say again because he's very clever and very witty And he's very grinchy Look at they are putting in post Actually for the new ride. That's so awesome that I'm watching this happen right now I'm gonna head on over to harry potter now because I really want to see if I can get on haggard's It's been a couple weeks since that last road and it's one of my favorite rides And here we are hogsmead and we're going down the wrong side. Ah to the right to the left. There we go Hagrid's is at a 90 minute wait. Wow Just got off Hagrid's and I gotta tell you it's still my favorite roller coaster I love it so much. It literally brings like smiles to my face Now since I had my favorite roller coaster, I might as well get my favorite beer And there it is the deathly hollows Gonna head back into suce landing and see if we can catch the 330 show for Grinchmas But it is 329 And I was denied to have to be 15 to 20 minutes early. I showed up one minute early not acceptable So I think I'll do the cat in the hat to buy some time until the next showing I sat there with sally. We sat there. We too and I said how I wish we had something to do Do I'm serious. That is such an underappreciative ride. I love it so much Oh and look as we come out we see some more suce characters just roaming around Do you guys like green eggs and ham? Yeah, I know I don't know it's a mixed emotions mixed emotions, but that is a green ham Very interested So after we hung around suce landing a little bit I came to a little dilemma and the dilemma is I wait for the 430 show of Grinchmas Or I head over to universal for the 530 macy's parade and I think I'm going to do the parade And since we are going to walk over to universal because it makes more sense to walk there instead of going over to the Hogwarts Express Especially if you're in suce landing, we're going to go the back way Take a look at the Berlin wall and see if the secret entrance is open And here it is an actual piece of the Berlin wall. Look at that. You can actually touch it You can say I touched the Berlin wall. That's awesome, isn't it? And now we are going to walk back here And we're going to see if the secret entrance is open and some of you might think wow That building looks familiar. Anybody know what it is? It's the blue man group No, it's the old Nickelodeon studio that they had here. How cool is that? There it is a secret entrance. I don't know if it's really secret or not, but There it is. No line. No weight And just like that we are in universal studios. Ooh, do you see the tree peeking over the monster cafe statue? The park closes at 8 today and it is like a ghost town in here. I'm loving it Literally like when we walked in minions, there's only a 20 minute wait. Everything else is basically walk-ons And look at all these Christmas decorations. They got Santa hats on all the light posts. That's very smart But one thing I definitely want to point out is the Christmas tree here because I believe This is the girdiest Christmas tree in Orlando Look at that tree Right, it is definitely the girdiest. I have to say Nothing compares to that And the ornaments are the size of like five of my heads Look at it Ladies and gentlemen, the universal Orlando stars performance program would like everyone to give a warm welcome to the west glaives middle school marching wolves Parkland Oh, we got a marching band And I think we picked the perfect spot for the parade Get a little Christmas tree in the background Beautiful blue skies. I like it a lot Andy can see up there. They actually just started turning on all the lights. It's so pretty here when the lights turn on Oh, I don't know if we're gonna be here when it's dark because the park does close at 8 It's starting Such an amazing parade I really loved it. I really loved all of the balloon floats I loved all the different characters Bravo universal Bravo After the parade everybody just cleared out and we are back to empty empty streets This is pretty amazing.    I love it It's so pretty over here Now I kind of want to do something I haven't done in a very long time I want to do the simpsons ride only because The simpsons is now a part of disney like it has all the seasons on disney plus Everything like that ever since disney bought fox But when this ride first came out it has so many things That are basically mimicking and mocking disney disney world And I think it's kind of funny now that disney owns it So I want to point out a couple of them And here it is crusty land and I can't wait to show you all the disney puns in here Obviously captain dinosaurs pirate ripoff is definitely a plunge at pirates of the caribbean Yesterday's churros Oh, and you can pick one other group to come with you Unless you're whatever they look clean you guys come with me. You stay here The honte condo kind of looks like the honna mansion poster does it not? That is definitely a knock on frontier land Ever ride this baby. We're like that space guy who did that moon thing? Neil Armstrong. No chubaca Oh now enjoy that for producing and I'm writing it now happen Then you'll never see a legally required safety video Look at the gloves Look at these tombstones. I don't know if you can see it too well But outside of the actual attraction and they are kind of like the honna mansion tombstones Laos killed the mouse Take a look at king's cross from across the bay and look how pretty it is all lit up And on the way out Just look at all of these palm trees all lit up This reminds me of sunset boulevard of hollywood studios But there's no flashy lights and no projection on the tower terror ahead So it's kind of not like that. I don't know why I said that And with that I think we're calling it a night here at universal studios Had a lot of fun that parade was fantastic and the Grinch was memorable. So Love to like you live. We'll see you next time. Bye
