Are you a vegan? I am, yeah. Well, more vegetarian sometimes I do sometimes think, oh, but I could just do with ice cream, but I try and avoid it because they're just... There's vegan ice cream. What's your name? Billy. My name's Joey. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. As you can see, I'm a big Smiths fan. Ah, really? A minority obviously promotes vegan ideologies. Yeah, he does. Yeah. It's not an argument, it's just a question. Okay. With people with dietary requirements, that's a dietary requirement. My cousin has certain syndrome, it's Pradavilli syndrome, he's what he can't feel satisfied by hunger, and if Toby weren't vegan it could potentially kill him. Is there anything that you could suggest to maybe help me try and turn towards more of a, maybe not a vegetarian lifestyle, but anything that could help reduce his meat intake? Yeah. Are you a vegan? I am, yeah. Ah, good. Well, more vegetarian sometimes I do sometimes think, oh, but I could just do with ice cream, but I try and avoid it because they're just... Is vegan ice cream? Oh my God, yeah, there is. And I got it from Bloody Holland and Barrett a few weeks ago. Yeah. It's been a student, it's quite difficult with a vegan lifestyle because it is a bit like expensive. It depends. Yeah. How expensive do you want to make it? That's true. I've never really thought about the cost, I just always think, well, I could just do this. And I like the fact that bread is vegan, dry toast is underrated, in my opinion. I mean, there's ways of designing any diet to be expensive or cheap. Yeah, I've always found, before I was a vegetarian, that was really expensive because corn is quite expensive, I think. Some of it, like... Really? Some of it. Really? Like the one with the cheese and the broccoli in it, like in Tesco's. For a student, £2.60 is quite expensive. Yeah, I would go for more the beans, the legumes and nuts, the seeds, the whole grains and fruits and vegetables and then add those things in as a treat. Yeah. So with my cousin, how could I improve, well, like try and stall his meeting take? Yeah, so I'm not a doctor, so I'm not a medical doctor, but I would just refer him to a medical doctor, someone like Dr. Garth Davis on Instagram or someone like Dr. Michael Clapper, PCRM, which is the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, like that's who I'd refer him to. I wouldn't make her diagnosis and say, okay, I'm not a dietician either. What's about the dairy industry? Just out of curiosity, this is because I can't help your friend there. When people sit down for this, there's a caveat. I'm saying there's no argument against you being vegan. Yeah, I have seen the dairy industry, so obviously. Arguments against people being vegan in the world, like survival's one, like if you're going to die, you could say, well, I'm going to die. I think if I was stranded on an island, I think I would try my best to survive. Try to find some stuff to eat, but then she started starving and dying. I have seen stuff and it is quite shocking. I mean, ideological before even I was meat-free. So you've seen the dairy industry, hey? Yeah, it just really is. Well, this is the meat industry. It doesn't really apply to you, because you don't. But yeah, this is how they get this. They forcefully impregnate them. So this is a male bull? Yeah. So they're putting an electro-ejaculator in his anus, so he ejaculates. Yeah, they forcefully impregnate the females. Yeah. Because that's the only way you can get milk through. Pregnant animal, yeah. Pregnant animal. Yeah. It doesn't feel very comfortable, does it? No. It doesn't feel like it's worth it for ice cream, does it? I don't think anything's worth it for anything. Like, that's her baby as well. Yeah. Imagine if we did that to people. You know what I mean? I think that's a suitable alternative. This is obviously not an actual opinion of mine, but I do like to joke about the idea that we should do Soil and Green, you know. Soil and Green. Yeah, and turn people into food. If you didn't tell people, if you just, if you labelled it as pork or beef or something. People would still eat it. People would still eat it. Because people are just... Disconnected? Yeah. That's me. I'm at a dairy farm here. There's a dead calf in the bin. It's ridiculous. And they separate the females like this. And cows are such beautiful creatures as well. I really love cows. They're like big dogs. I don't actually like dogs to me. I'm a bit scared of dogs, but I think that cows... Cows are big, gentle dogs. Yeah. They'll never bite you. No, I mean, I have read that you're more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark, but I think that's what you get if you provoke an animal. Well, that's probably because humans are so connected to cows through farming that there's probably in more dangerous situations with these animals than they're taking their calves away and... They are heavy. They're taking their calves away, they're mutilating them. Nobody can look at that and... That's just a dairy cow. How can anybody think that this is an appropriate job? Well, they only work in these places because people go out and buy the products and give them jobs. Yeah. I always... If we had eradicated that, we'd eradicate the jobs. And I guess there's an argument for the economic purposes of meat. But even then, I think... There was a big economy around the slave trade as well, wasn't it? That's the point. But we wouldn't keep it in just because of it. We can't keep it because it's people, because there's an ethical argument. They feel emotion too. I don't understand why people think, oh, but there's no emotion to them. Like, yes there is. We wouldn't have kept the slave trade running in America because it was good for the cotton farmers and the slave owners. But it's killing people, forcefully enforcing... Enslaving them. Yeah, forcefully enforcing people. Robbing them of their right to life, like freedom. And that's what we're doing here. So I don't think the economic argument holds. Look at them. They are like dogs, aren't they? Look at them. They're licking my ear. But as you say, you practice veganism, but you wouldn't say you hold the philosophy of veganism. I understand the ideology and I do support places like the Irish PCA and Peter and things like that, because I think everyone has a right to life. It's like the abortion argument. Everybody has a right to choose. So I do feel like it's a choice thing. Sometimes I feel like, like Mauricia, I sometimes do think militant veganism can be quite scary. People's argument is, even if they don't have a full philosophy, they can say, well, I don't like veganism because they just force it down your throat. So when you say choice, there's always, when we have a choice to eat animal products, and you're saying people should be able to have that choice. I think giving people freedom to choose whatever ideology and lifestyle they want is important, but I also think...  I could be a Satanist who takes people back to my house and does, you know, but I could say this is my ideology. I need my choice, but where's the victim's choice in that? Yeah, I do understand that. So we've got to respect everyone's choice. I think when it comes to things aren't going into the realms of illegality, you know, like, a paedophile could say, well, it's my choice to do this. Well, no, you know, the slave trade wasn't illegal. Exactly. It was legal. So I think when we talk about these topics, we have to talk about morality and ethics. Yeah, and I think I don't want to live in a world where everyone is forced to follow a certain ideology. It's like if you lived in a country that was strict Christian and you had to be a Christian. I think that can be, you know, that... for gay people, that is a very instructing idea to... you can't live in that society. We have to have balance in society.  Like, you know, like with police force? Oh, go, yeah. Because it's again going into the realms of illegality. So then you're saying some force is OK if it's in the name of protecting people's rights and life. Yeah, I think rights. So why is it different for not being vegan?  And you're saying you shouldn't force people to be... to make this choice kind of thing when this choice has a direct victim. But seeing in these other contexts, you're saying, no, no, no, you shouldn't have the choice to be to enslave people or kill people or... I guess, again, it's just the idea... I was raised in a world that it was me eating and I don't look at animals. I do, I do personally, but I think a lot of people don't look at animals and think, oh, this has got an emotion. But they do with cats and dogs.  Pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on planet Earth and yet we consume so much bacon and pork and things. And I just think it's ridiculous. Why? Do you think that society and the police and the government should protect animals' rights to life? Definitely, I think there is...  That's one of the things that I think, you know... Pigs and chickens and cows aren't even covered under those laws. Exactly. Some people would see like an animal suffering and they might help the animal and then they would go and buy a burger. Yeah, I do think that people do have this idea. It's because we separate things between domesticated and farmed. It's like, you could argue in places like China where they do eat cats and dogs. People can say, well that's their lifestyle choice but people say, you know, if you were to show a western of the dog meat industry they'd be like, oh that's our parent. You can't do that. Would you say that's hypocritical? Yeah, definitely.  Well that's exactly what they're doing to cows and pigs and lambs. And they suffer the same. Exactly. They're all feeling the same emotion.  If you domesticated a pig, if you domesticated a cow, any kind of farmed animal they would have the exact same reactions to a dog or a cat. If you domesticated, if you got a calf from the day it's born and you domesticated that calf, that calf would have a name, it would answer to its name. It's like in the episode, I'm going to reference the Simpsons because that's something I can do, where Bart adopts a cow but Bart will still continue to eat beef afterwards even though he domesticated this cow and raised it. Disconnect. Yeah, it was, and I just think, you know, like I think it was really good for the writers to make Lisa a vegetarian because it did pose an argument to people. I wasn't even alive when that episode came out because Linda McCartney's in it and she passed away before I was born.  So, that's an interesting story and I just wanted to know like whether you still think, like people should be able to make these choices that cause this suffering to sentient beings whether or not, like, you feel like they should have that freedom of choice but, you know, there's other contexts where you would say, no, no, no, we shouldn't have the freedom of choice to beat dogs, to do dog fighting, to do these other unethical things, but... I mean, puppy farms are still technically legal, aren't they, in certain aspects? You know, you could say, well, it's not a farm, it's just a breeding centre, but they've got our current conditions. There are going to be loopholes regardless of what people do and I do agree that people shouldn't be given this full-on free-range choice but I also think I can't physically stop anybody from doing what they want. I understand that people out there can be a bit, you know, if I walked into them at Donald's and said, you're all monsters, I don't know what people are going to do, somebody could hurt me, I know that. Well, they wouldn't, that would be, because they're so disconnected, they wouldn't know what you're talking about but what if you just walked in there and said, hey, did you know what this stuff is happening? I think, again, people would look at it and they probably would walk away and think, yeah, all right, I think people are still very dismissive of this and I think it's sort of like the argument of teaching religion in school, you know, I personally, from my point of view, I think that should be shown in schools to just, you know, and then give people that you still want to continue eating. Like an educated choice, not just like a blind choice, they don't know what's going on. Exactly, I think if you showed people that, you know, I'm maybe not young children, I think that is a big... Not super young. No, I think year seven, so eleven to twelve. I'm going to stay there for a second. It's weird that it's bad to show it to the child, five-year-old, whatever, but it's fine to feed it to them without them knowing. Exactly, I think, I do understand that. I just think it is so gory, but I think if you explain to a child, you know, if you said, you know, if you took your child to a farm and said, so this is a cow and you could then explain, cow produces meat and beef and that's what did it for, you know, that and the Simpsons. It all made me realise, actually, no, these were... these lived ones. I think I could say to a five-year-old, hey, do you know animals are hurt and they are killed, they're killed for the meat. Because unlike adults, children just look at all animals and think, wow, animals, whereas adults go, oh, but cats and dogs know, but it's fine. Yeah, dogs are here to be friends and cows are food. I've been taught this, they're so conditioned and children are still more pure and they haven't been adulterated by society's, you know, social norms and things like that.  I think you could sort of apply a similar, well, it's not wrong to teach a child this because they should be aware of the world around them and what is going on around them.  Exactly. And I also think educating children on what happens in slaughterhouses, if you, you know, obviously, you need to tailor it to the audience. Yeah, exactly. If they're really young, you need to sort of tailor. You're not going to show them a graphic video. This is what happens. But I think when they get into, like, 13, 14 area, when they're already exposed to this stuff, they should be able to... Yeah, there's a kid to play in GTA at the minute, you know, like, and I think the generation below me compared to me are very desensitized. Yeah. I think they are a completely desensitized generation. You could probably afford to show them that they might not even react. Yeah, I agree. I think they won't even have that, oh, God, that's horrible. I feel like they'd look at it and go. And... Yeah. I'm hoping to reach out to the people who do have compassion and are willing to change and are willing to, like, take the power into their hands. I think a lot of people, if you showed them that, would go vegetarian, or maybe reduce their meat intake a heck of a lot quicker than we think. They need to see the consequences of their actions, and these undercover investigations are really important, so... I think the one I want to see more is one surrounding fishing. I don't know anything about what goes on in the fishing industry. I just know that it goes out of the sea and onto somebody's plate. I don't know anything about how they're killed. I don't know anything like that. I guess I could argue... They use these massive trawling nets, so, like, super trawlers, and they open up these... They just dredge them up, don't they?  I've got some footage here. They dump them in a big ice bath to ston them. So these are just fish farms. So 50% of the fish people eat come out of fish farms, so they're just cultivating them and then they're killing them. And again, it's the domesticated argument.  You're still... People still look at goldfish and think, I've never eaten that. You know, even if the goldfish was the size of the cards. Or dolphins are a good example. Oh, yeah, exactly. People wouldn't eat dolphins. Most people... A lot of... Most people won't. But they eat these fish and these fish are suffering here. Yeah. Look at the gills that are expanded. Even though they're in some form of water, they're still... I don't... I hate going to fish markets like Bouncy before we did their fish market and stuff. You had to walk through the fish and meat markets, get into the actual market and I thought, I don't know what people are. It's horrible violence and suffering to sea animals for an unjustifiable reason. Also, that just went on the floor. I don't know how people are like, oh, yeah, but it's fine. I'm like, no, it just went on the floor.  If you dropped an apple on the floor, you're not going to eat it again afterwards, are you? I don't see an ethical problem with dropping an apple when eating it, but stabbing a fish in the throat. If you showed someone the conditions that their food was even being prepared. It's not just that they're on the floor. It's the blood, the suffering, the feces and all of these... Like, that's just traps, you know. So that's what the nets do, they... And they just take up anything, don't they? Like, that's a seal. Yeah, by-catch it's called. I just think... Hundreds of thousands of seals and dolphins and turtles that will caught up in by-catch every year.  I think I do believe that humans have also overfished certain areas of the ocean. I think it's up near Norway that humans have just overfished. There's no cod left there. We've ruined an ecosystem. Yeah. And that's something we don't realise. We don't realise the environmental impact that we're having as a... You know, even if we take the meat industry out of this as a whole race, I mean, I can't say anything, I smoke. And that's... Realistically, that's not ethical because other people don't have the choice around me to... But like, I'm doing this for me.  Like, so, I mean, you can start like analysing everything. Oh, what's... How ethical is that jumper? How ethical is that tripod? It's all... I think ethics and morality and things like that. I think that if you gave everyone, you know, if you showed people, you know, how the clothes industry works, how the meat industry works, how everything works, I think a lot more things would fall off. I think the meat industry would be one of the biggest to fall off with people.  You saw a serial killer that did that. You'd be like, what an abhorrent human being. Yeah, well, Jeffrey Dahmer's a good example. Exactly. Oh, well, he has got some fangirls, and they scare me more than life. He ate his victims. He actually drugged them first, so he killed them. So that was like humane killing, because they didn't know what was going to happen. Well, they didn't know what was going to happen. I don't think murder can ever be humane, by the way, but I'm just saying, like, in the industry, meat industry, they say, oh, and they don't feel it, and they're stunned. It's humane slaughter. Is it, though? I don't know. How can slaughter be humane? Something's dying. Murder. Exactly. If something is dying, it's dying.  Well, they didn't know it was coming. They didn't suffer. They were free range. Free range murder. That's what the arguments they use in the animal context. I don't know why they don't apply in the human context as well. I feel like human beings have a double standard. If you do it to them, oh, my God, it's horrible. It's slavery. It's murder. It's rape. It's all these things. You do it to a cow, a chicken, a pig, or a fish. Who cares? It's a food chain. It's humane slaughter. I think hunting is our porrant. But it is our porrant, and I'm not advocating for it, but the way that hunting is done compared to that, you could argue, you know, that's why it's... I understand. It's a lesser of two evils, but it's still... It's still evil. The Holocaust was much worse than your average serial killer, but that doesn't mean your average serial killer is then ethical, does it? I've seen people be tortured before they're killed, and then people just be executed from a gunshot to the head. That doesn't therefore mean the gunshot to the head is ethical just because the torturing beforehand... You know what I mean?  That doesn't mean the act of killing is therefore ethical. We always go for the... Okay, from hunting, I just go, why hunt someone down? Why not just eat plant-based foods and do our best there? Yeah, exactly. Like we're saying about the lesser of two evils, I think people are more against hunting than they are, the meat industry. That's hypocritical. There's more suffering in the meat industry I agree with that. I don't agree with hunting, especially now with the idea that it's fine to go hunting with 30 people, I just think that's just... That's insane. It's pushing an idea, like why can't I go to a gig but you can go and slaughter animals for fun? I just don't understand it. I think hunting people is wrong as well. I just kind of... Might need it, no. Depends who it is. It depends who it is. If there's a psychopathic murder out there on a killing spree, then hunt them down. Just innocent people? It's like... I'm not going to use a specific example, but if somebody went into a public area with a gun and started hunting people... Which happens? Of course, that's why I don't want to give a specific example for the victims. There's sensitivity of it, yeah. I just think people will look at that and go, oh that's shocking, that's a porran. But that's what people do with hunting. Except hunting is a sport and it's... How is it a sport? It's a sport and people like they sort of... don't know, they fetishize hunting and they think oh great, hunting is great. You know what, it's a sport, football. That's a sport. Picking a ball around or something, going for a run. I just... I don't see hunting as a sport, I don't see hunting as good or ethical and I just think it is sort of perpetuating a class society. We could afford to go hunting but you can't go back to McDonald's peasants. We can buy a massive $800 rifle and... You could do so much good with that money and yeah, they choose to do that. I think somebody wants to have a good argument.  It was really nice talking to you anyway. You've definitely given me some more ideas and arguments.  You know some people are just picky eaters and maybe they think there's not many vegetables I like but I am going to reduce my intake and increase my corn intake kind of thing. I do applaud people that are trying their best as well. There's so many other mock meats other than corn because corn have a good vegan range but they also got vegetarian which has got the eggs in the dairy which you want to avoid. So there's so many other amazing... Well Tesco and Sainsbury are mainstream. Yeah but some companies just don't see vegan and vegetarian as profitable so you've got to go and actively look for it and again it's a lazy thing in society. People are like well... Well there's a vegan section in Tesco and Sainsbury she's just walked there and there's... I mean here in the UK I don't understand how people haven't found the vegan section in the supermarket. Now in Asda there's a whole vegan aisle. You know there's always Subway and these pizza... with vegan cheese and... It's as gorgeous. There's plenty of places I mean even if you get a bit stuck I've never actually been stuck for a vegan option. If I was I would just skip that meal in a different place. Exactly. Nice talking to you. Take care. Do you have any arguments against being vegan? Yes. What is yours? Thank you.


Since the start of the Black Lives Matter protests this year after the murder of George Floyd Conservatives have been pretty consistent in condemning the rioting and the looting because that to them is unacceptable because it's violence and we don't condone violent behavior as Responsible citizens, but what's interesting is that embedded in their condemnation of violence Ironically is more violence the president of the United States literally tweeted out when the looting starts the shooting starts Rising stars in the Republican Party like Marjorie Taylor Greene Will be going to Congress in 2021 created an ad with the gun where she said if these protesters come to Georgia I'm going to shoot them and murder them so if you're conservative then You don't necessarily unequivocally come out against all violence if you're these types of conservatives then Violence is only bad in so far as violence is being done against property and Buildings, but if we're looking at violence done against other human beings that to them is Acceptable now correct me if I'm wrong conservatives. Maybe I'm misrepresenting your views here but you have a lot of people on your side that apparently seem to want to Celebrate the violence that's being done against rioters and looters now Maybe I'm just a little bit of a fool to think this but if you are against rioting and looting isn't it worse to commit an act of murder Isn't killing worse than rioting and looting if you agree with this sentiment then explain why Ann Coulter Someone who is a prominent conservative with millions of loyal followers took to Twitter to praise a 17-year-old Domestic terrorist who murdered two people and injured a third saying she wants him to be president explained to me Why Aubrey Huff a prominent right-wing pundit and podcast host with a bigger platform than mine called him a national treasure? explain to me why Christians raised over $250,000 for rent house on the Christian equivalent of GoFundMe called give send go I mean I'm just gonna take a guess and assume that most of the Christians that donated to this right-wing terrorist call themselves pro-life But apparently they're not so pro-life if they're donating to a murderer I mean does the people that he killed have to be fetuses in order for you to give a damn So I mean what I'm seeing here is right-wingers Move closer and closer towards Violent fascism as they condemn violence they celebrate violence Simultaneously, but only if that violence is being done against protesters. Well, I mean if there's like a hierarchy of violence I would imagine that killing people is a worse offense than rioting and looting So if you're outraged by rioting and looting then certainly you're gonna be even more outraged by killing But I mean this is what we've come to expect Republicans in America have become so extreme that we're not just talking about them being proto-fascist like they are openly embracing violence And they're celebrating it and they don't even care how that looks to their opponents But I mean we shouldn't be surprised that this is how far to the right Republicans have shifted because look at the way that the media portrays these types of events New York Post took to Twitter to share an article along with pictures showing the terrorist cleaning up graffiti in Kenosha, Wisconsin However, when it came to the victim of police violence who was shot in the back 17 times Which sparked these protests in the first place? Well, they report that he had a knife in his car when he was shot by police So in other words, we're supposed to assume that the white terrorist by definition has good intentions Can't do any wrong, but the black victim he actually Maybe deserved it because he had a knife in his car So if you have one of those like fancy switch blades in your car Well, I guess the police are justified if they pull you over and they feel threatened and they want to kill you Only if you're black if you're white, it's fine though So do you understand like the media is trying to humanize a terrorist while they Dehumanize a victim of state-sanctioned violence now we later learned through a video that surfaced online That the terrorist in question violently assaulted a girl So I mean maybe it's just me But we probably shouldn't assume that terrorists people who commit acts of terror in the United States Aren't actually good people because they're white, but that's what everyone seemingly did Oh, well, he's young and he's white. So of course his intentions were pure Jacob Blake However, he had a knife in his car So I don't know what he was gonna do with that Maybe the cop was justified in shooting him in the back seven different times and paralyzing him likely for the rest of his life Like do you understand why people are protesting? This is why because this is how the victims of police brutality are treated Whereas the people who actually commit acts of terror against protesters protesting violence against black Americans are propped up celebrated by some on the right and Given a pass by the media because he was probably a good person. I mean look at him He was cleaning up graffiti. So clearly he had a heart. He wasn't just this monster everyone It's disgusting and Tucker Carlson the host of the number one new show in America did exactly what we're talking about here Tried to justify this 17 year old right-wing militants act of terror. Take a look So I really surprised that looting in arson accelerated to murder How shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would? Now unsurprisingly after someone who was very influential Defended a terrorist justified his actions other people did the same exact thing Because now I'm seeing so many people say well, I mean his intentions were pure He just went to Kenosha, Wisconsin with the gun because he wanted to stop violence Because of course, you know if you want to de-escalate and stop violence Everyone knows you bring a gun and you aim it at protesters and then you shoot them Of course, that's exactly what happened like imagine if Kyle Rittenhouse was black and he was there to Stop violence against protesters. He was aiming his gun at other vigilantes that were threatening the protesters Do you think that that individual would get the same treatment? Even if he didn't kill someone.   It's because we live in a white supremacist country And there's a double standard here black people don't even have to be threatening and violence against them is still justified So long as we feel as if they're scary to us like that's what we're dealing with here Now on top of that this mindset, you know, it's not just something that we see on Fox News because on YouTube you know a right-wing YouTuber named Keemstar was talking to another reactionary named Leafy is here and Leafy is here admitted that you know He didn't even have a license to carry a gun, but he Attended a protest.  All right. I mean in truth I don't know if this can even go on story fire But I just want one day in my life for someone to give me an excuse to shoot them Is that an extreme opinion? probably Don't worry everyone. He was just joking and I'm sure that if a reporter interviewed him there You know, they believe his lies that he's just there to protect order Disgusting, but I mean like you would expect that from right-wing provocateurs like Keemstar Like Tucker Carlson, but of course our enlightened centrists would do better, right? They would condemn This type of violence against protesters, even if they don't like the side of riots, right?  That is a very prominent twitch streamer and youtuber who is a centrist Saying that right-wing rednecks have his blessing if they want to mow down protesters. That's his language I mean even when destiny started to like go off the rails and attack the left attack people like Michael Brooks and Kyle Kalinsky I still thought well I mean maybe there's some good left in him because he is really useful at De-radicalizing some of these right-wing people who like kind of get stuck in that alt-right pipeline on YouTube But now I don't think that's gonna de-radicalize anyone if anything He's helping them. He's making their argument for them So destiny literally thinks that private property is more valuable than the lives of human beings I mean, this is what a capitalist cult looks like. I don't like these riots I don't like the looting it makes me feel uncomfortable. It probably hurts Joe Biden chances against Donald Trump So I think that if people want to kill them, that's fine because if these protests go away that makes me feel better I mean American culture is sick. It's perverted But I mean this kind of response to violence against protesters It's nothing new because back in 2017 the Daily Caller a prominent right-wing website spread a video of Cars driving through crowds of people protesters and they thought it was funny like they were literally glorifying it with funny music This is all just the funny game to them and Fox News also shared that same video. They thought it was hilarious, too I'm assuming. I mean, it's interesting because the Daily Caller knew that their right-wing audience Would be more triggered by profanity than the sight of cars driving into crowds of people So they said, you know, if you don't like the profanity then just mute your computer I mean imagine being so twisted to think that profanity is more offensive Then cars driving through crowds of people possibly injuring these individuals now You know if you think that it's wrong for crowds of protesters to block traffic ask any of these right-wingers how they would respond if Pro Guaido forces in Venezuela were blocking traffic and a Pro Maduro Driver decided to just plow through that crowd of Pro Guaido protesters. They would be calling for regime change They'd be condemning the violence against protesters But because it suits their narrative because they don't like these protesters They think it's a game to literally run people over that to them. It's funny. It's a it's a joke to them This is how little they value human life, but yet they claim that they are pro-life and That it's Democrats who want to kill babies Interesting now what makes matters worse is that this isn't something that you know, the media promotes in a vacuum I mean our leaders do the same thing Donald Trump just tweeted out The only way you will stop the violence in the high crime Democrat run cities is through strength now in case It wasn't clear to you. He was using strength as a synonym for violence We know exactly what he means Now it's been days and Donald Trump at the time I record this still hasn't condemned Kyle Rinhouse One of his own supporters who is in the front row at a Donald Trump rally in January He said nothing after one of his supporters Carried out a terrorist attack in America after he is fear mongering about these protesters Who is accused of shooting some of the protesters the president is not going to again weigh in on that You can ask him this evening. He may weigh in further But at the moment he's not way into that it's been days And he won't condemn one of his own supporters who carried out an act of murder Imagine what he'd be saying if somebody carried out murder on behalf of Joe Biden He would call on Joe Biden to condemn that individual, but when it's him crickets nothing Jelani's like Kyle Rittenhouse We're looking at all of it. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as I saw and He was trying to get away from them I guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and It was something that we're looking at right now and it's under investigation, but I Guess he was in very big trouble. He would have been I he probably would have been killed It's under it's under investigation The sense that you should be getting if you're a reasonable person is that in our late-stage capitalist society on The hierarchy of things that we care about we definitely care more about property damage than deaths and human suffering Human beings dying getting murdered that is less offensive than people doing riots and looting. I mean if You feel like we're in the twilight zone and maybe you're going crazy You're not going crazy. Everyone else has gone crazy Everyone else has bought in to this idea that we should dehumanize human beings because property is Much more valuable than human life now I'm sure that the right is at least going to start Pretending at least to care about human life because one of their own was killed in a clash on Saturday in Portland, Oregon As Mike Baker of the New York Times reports a man affiliated with the right-wing group was shot and killed on Saturday as a large group Of supporters of President Trump traveled in a caravan through downtown Portland, Oregon Which has seen nightly protests for three consecutive months The pro-trump rally drew hundreds of trucks full of supporters into the city at times Trump supporters and counter protesters clashed on the streets with people shooting paintball guns from the beds of pickup trucks and Protesters throwing objects back at them a video that purports the be of the Saturday night shooting in Portland Taken from the far side of the street showed a small group of people in the road outside What appears to be a parking garage gunfire erupts and a man collapses in the street the man who was shot And killed was wearing a hat with insignia of patriot prayer a far-right group based in the Portland area That has clashed with protesters in the past Joey Gibson the head of the group said Sunday He could not share many details, but could confirm the man was a good friend and supporter of patriot prayer two weeks ago One right-wing demonstrator fired two gunshots from his vehicle The authorities have said although it doesn't appear anyone was struck by the bullets the next weekend opposing groups Openly fought in the streets and a video showed one right-wing demonstrator Brandishing a gun Patriot prayer a local group that says it promotes Christianity and smaller government has repeatedly clashed with activists in Portland The group has at times operated alongside Militia groups and the Southern Poverty Law Center has reported that some patriot prayer events have drawn white supremacists Last year mr. Gibson the group's leader was charged along with others with rioting after a brawl in the city So I mean I read this and it feels like we're on the cusp of a literal civil war this is a Horrifying and it doesn't help that we have a president who is constantly fanning the flames here Now this group patriot prayer is a far right extremist group that confronts and provokes protesters often times in an attempt to do violence They were caught with guns on a rooftop as this we points out and they were likely there trying to do vigilante justice And one of them got killed Now to me it's easy for me to condemn Killing and death because I'm a humanist right I don't celebrate that someone on the opposing team Was murdered. I didn't want him to get killed. I wanted him to get converted But now I bet that we're gonna see a little bit of a tune change from the right and Suggest that it's really the left and black lives matter protesters who were the ones who are doing violence Even if this individual was with a group that shows up to provoke protesters like it doesn't matter Regardless of the outcome of the situation the protesters the rioters the looters. They're the bad guys Let's not even try to figure out why they're rioting and looting for so long They're just the bad guys and since we've already determined as a society that they're the bad guys no matter What is done to them is justified So that means if we want to shoot at them and murder them well That's justified because we've accepted as a society that property damage is Worse than murder. That's basically where we're at. I Mean even if you're Against rioting and looting which most people are just like except that there's got to be an underlying reason why people are out in the street Sure, there's some people who just show up to start shit right who are bored and have nothing better to do But a lot of these people feel as if they have no choice but to make a lot of noise Right loot because the government isn't listening Now that doesn't mean that you know anything that they do is justified because the government isn't taking action to protect black lives But what I'm saying is that there's more nuanced to this situation But because in America we've dehumanized people and because we view private property is more important than human life Well, this is what we get or even centrists are okay with these rioters and looters getting shot and killed Well, I mean if you're against rioting and looting if politicians are against rioting and looting You can try to do some reform like any reform to address their concerns But I guess that it's easier to just demonize them and Condone violence against them by these right-wing militia groups Well backfired like one of these right-wing people were killed And it's gonna get worse like the violence is gonna continue to happen and it's depressing But you'd expect at least some level of Respect for human life on the side that Claims to be pro-life, but they're celebrating Kyle Renn house. He's a hero to them because he murdered two rioters I don't even know if those people were rioting that he killed But I mean because he was there protecting order. He's a hero. I Don't even know what to say but America is a very very Disgraceful country and it's really it's sickening like our culture is Corrupted to its core and I don't even know if it's redeemable like for people to openly celebrate Protesters being assaulted and run over and even murdered. I Mean that culture has accepted the fact that violence is permissible and once you have a society that accepts violence as A justifiable thing against a particular group of people guess what society devolves into pure chaos fascism The humanist report is fake news Mike only cares about crazy Bernie and his wacky socialist ideas Versa I'm unsubscribing


From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE conversation. Hello everyone, welcome to this special CUBE virtual coverage of the AWS Summit virtual online. This is an event that Amazon normally has in person in San Francisco, but now it's virtual around the world, Seoul, Korea, in Tokyo, all over the world in Asia Pacific and in North America. I'm John Furrier here with Stu Miniman. We're kicking off AWS virtual with the CUBE virtual. I'm in Palo Alto with the quarantine crew. You're in Massachusetts in Boston with the quarantine crew there. Stu, great to have you on to talk about AWS virtual summit. Yeah, John, it's great to see you. It's been interesting times doing all these remote interviews, as many of us say. I sure don't complain to the hotels, but I do miss the communities. I do miss the hallway conversation, but great to see you. John, love the midnight madness shirt from re-invent last year. Well, we want to thank Amazon for stepping up with some sponsorship for a lot of us to do the virtual CUBE alongside their virtual event because now it's a global community. It's all virtual. There are no boundaries. The CUBE has no boundaries. Stu, we've got a great program. We have Corey Quinn coming up. Expect to hear from him last week in AWS. He's known for, he's a rising star in the community, certainly CUBE guest and also guest host and analyst for the CUBE. We expect to hear all the latest from his big Zoom post controversy to really what's going on in AWS around what services are hot. I know you're going to do a great interview with him. But let's talk about Amazon. We're seeing a ton of activity. Obviously, most recently last week was the Jedi thing, which was an agency protest kind of confidential. Microsoft blew that up big time with a post by their worldwide comms person, Frank Shaw, countered by Drew Herdner, who's the comms global lead for AWS. And so a war of words is ensuing. This is again pointing to the cloud native war that's going on with the Jedi conference. I mean, get Jedi contract for $10 billion, which is a word to Microsoft. This shows that the heat is on, Stu. This is a absolute bloodbath between AWS and Microsoft. We're seeing it play out now virtually with Amazon, AI, large scale cloud. This is huge. This is another level, a DEF CON 1 basically. Your thoughts? Yeah, John, you've covered this really well. It's been really interesting spot. Number one, you talk about the security requirement. When AWS launched the GovCloud, had the CIA as a client early on many years ago, it was the green light for many companies to go from, wait, is the cloud secure enough? Too well, it's good enough for the federal government in the US. It's probably good enough for the enterprise. When Microsoft won Jedi, they didn't have all the certifications to meet what was in the contract. They had a ticking clock to make sure that they could meet those security engagements, as well as one of the pieces on the test board that moved was Oracle made a partnership announcement with Azure. We know the federal government uses Oracle quite a bit, so they can now run that in Azure and not have the penalties from Oracle. So many have said, hey, AWS, why don't you kind of let that one piece of business go? You do a lot of federal business, but those ripple effects we understand from one contract kind of moves things around. Well, my take on this is just to tip us in the teapot. Either Microsoft's got something that we don't know or they're running scared. My prediction, Stu, is that the clock is going to tick out. DoD is going to award the contract again to Microsoft because I don't think the DoD wants to change based upon the data that I'm getting from my reporting and then ultimately Amazon will keep this going in court because Microsoft has been deficient on winning the deal and that is by the judge and in government contracts, as you know, when you're deficient, you're ineligible. So essentially on the tech specs, Microsoft failed to meet the criteria of the contract and they're deficient. They still can't host top secret content even if they wanted to. This is going to be a game changer and if this comes out to be true, it'll be a huge tech scandal. If it's true, then AWS is going to have egg on their face. Okay, so move past Jedi. This speaks to the large scale problems that are having with COVID. You're seeing Amazon, they're all working at home, but they still got to run the servers. They can do it, they got cloud native, you got DevOps. But for their customers, Stu, the people who are trying to do hybrid, what are you hearing in terms of the kinds of situations that people are doing? Are they still going to work with masks on? Are there still data centers that need to be managed? What are you hearing in the tech world, Stu, around COVID-19 and as the cloud becomes more apparent, it's obvious that if you're not cloud native, you're going to be on the wrong side of history here. This is pretty obvious. Yeah, well, absolutely, John, that there is a bit of a tailwind behind cloud with COVID-19, everything from, you mentioned work from home, everybody needs to be on their VPN. They need to access their services where they are. If you've got a global workforce, if you thought that your infrastructure was going to be able to handle that, you might not be in for a good story. AWS is meeting that need. There's been some of the cloud providers that have had performance issues, have had to prioritize which customers can get access to things. AWS is standing strong, they're meeting their customers and they're answering the call of cloud. We know that AWS puts a huge investment into their environment. If you compare an availability zone from AWS, it is very, very sturdy. It's not just a small cluster, and they say, hey, we can run all over the place. To be specific, John Azure has been having some of those performance issues and has been some concerns. Corey actually wrote a really good article talking about that it actually put a bad view on public cloud in general, but we know not all public clouds are the same. So Google has been doing quite well, managing the demand spike, so has AWS. Microsoft has needed to respond a little bit. It's as you mentioned, Microsoft's outages. Microsoft actually got caught on their 8K filing, which I just had to be going through and they noticed that they said they had all this uptime for the cloud. Turns out it wasn't the cloud, it was the team's product. They had to actually put a strike of line through it legally. So a lot of people getting called out, but it doesn't matter, it's a crisis. I think that's not going to be a core issue. This is going to be what technology has been needed the most. And I got to ask you, Stu, what was the last time you and I talked about virtual desktops? Because, hey, if you're working at home and you're not at your desk, you might need some stuff on your desk. This is a real issue. I mean, it's kind of a corner case in tech, but virtual desktops, if you're not at the office, you need to have that at home. This is a huge issue and it's been a surge in demand. Yeah, there were jokes in the community that finally it's the year of VDI, but desktop as a service, John, is an area that took a little while to get going. So, you know, Dave Valdonte and I were just having a conversation about this. You and Dave interviewed me when Amazon released Workspaces and it was like, ah, you know, Citrix is doing so well and VDI, you know, isn't the hotness anymore, but desktop as a service has grown. If you talk about desktop as a service compared to VDI, VDI is still, you know, a bit of a heavy lift. Even if you've got, you know, hyper-converged infrastructure to roll this out, it's a couple of months to put these whole solutions together. Now, if you have some of that infrastructure, can you scale it? Can you build them up much faster? Yes, you can. But if you're starting to enable your workforce a little bit faster, desktop as a service is going to be faster. AWS has a strong solution with Workspaces. It really is that enablement and it's also putting pressure on the SaaS providers. One, they need to scale and two, they need to be responsive that some of their customers need to scale up really fast and some of them need to dial things down.  So, you know, customers need to make sure they're being loud and clear with their providers. If you need help, if you need to adjust something, you know, push back on them because they should be responsive because we know that there is a broad impact on this, but it will not be a permanent impact. So, you know, these are the times that companies need to work closely with customers because otherwise, you will either make a customer for life or you will have somebody that will not be saying good about you for a long time. Well, Stu, let's just quickly run through some of the highlights so far on the virtual conference, virtual event. Ossie Amazon pre-announced last month, the Windows Migration Service, which has been a big part of their business. They've been doing it for about 11 years. So, we're going to have an interview with an AWS person to talk about that. Also, AppFlow is announced as well. That's part of the virtual kind of private, you know, private connects. So, you know, you're seeing that right here, large-scale data lakes breaking down those silos, moving data from the cloud, from the console into the top applicants like Salesforce is the big one. So, that was kind of pre-announced. The big story here is the Kendra availability and the augmented AI availability among other things. This is this big story. This kind of shows the Amazon track record. They pre-announced it, reinvented it and tried to run as fast as they can to get it shipping. The focus of AI, the focus of large-scale capacity, whether it's building on top of EC2, serverless, Lambda AI, all this is kind of coming together. Data, high-capacity operational throughput, and added value. This seems to be the highlights, your reaction. Yeah, so John, you know, AppFlow is an interesting one. We were just talking about fast providers. An area that we've been spending a lot of time talking with the ecosystem is, you know, my data's all over the place. You know, yes, there's my data centers public cloud, but there's all of these fast providers. So, you know, if I have data in service now, I have it in workday, I have it in sales force, you know, how do I have connectors there? How do I secure that? How do I protect that? So, Amazon, you know, working with a broad ecosystem and helping to pull that together is definitely an interesting one to watch. You know, Kendra definitely been some good buzz in the ecosystem for a while there.  Because some of them, if they're a little bit more long-term strategic, might be the kind of projects that get put on pause rather than the ones that are critical for me to run the business today. And I just did a podcast with the VM where ecosystem last week talking about which projects will be funded, which ones won't. It brings up this new virtual work environment where, you know, some people are going to get paid and some people aren't. If you're not core to the enterprise, you're probably not going to get paid. If you're not getting a phone call to come into work, you're probably going to get fired. So, there will be projects that will be cut and projects that will be funded. Certainly virtual events, which I want to talk to you about in a minute, to applications that are driving revenue and or engagement around the new workforce. So, the virtualization of business is happening. Now, we joke because we know server virtualization actually enabled the cloud, right? So, I think there's going to be a huge Cambrian explosion of applications. So, I want to get your thoughts, the folks you've been talking through the past few months, what are you hearing in terms of those kinds of projects that people are going to be leaning into and funding versus ones they might put on hold? Have you heard anything? Yeah, well, you know, John, it's interesting. When you go back at its core, what is AWS and they want to enable build? So, you know, the last couple of years, we've been talking about all of the new applications that will get built. That's not getting put on hold, John. You know, what I do, not just to run the business, but grow the business, I need to still have applications at the core of what we do. Data and applications really are what driving companies today. So, that piece is still critically important and therefore, AWS is a very strategic partner there. Yeah, I'm seeing the same things too. I think the common trend that I would just add to that would be, I'm seeing companies looking at the COVID crisis as an opportunity and frankly in some cases an excuse to lay people off. And that's kind of you seeing some of that. But at the end of the day, that people are resetting, reinventing and then putting new growth strategies together. That still doesn't change. Business still needs to get done, so great point. All right, Stu, virtual events. We're here with the AWS Summit. Normally we're on the show floor at theCUBE. We're here with the Virtual Cube doing our virtual thing. It's been interesting, Stu. A lot of our events have converted to virtual. Some have been canceled, but most of them have been running on their virtual. We've been plugged in, but theCUBE is evolving. And I want to get your thoughts on how you see theCUBE evolving. I've been getting a lot of questions. This came again on the VMware Community Podcast. How is theCUBE morphed? And I know that we've been working hard with a lot of our customers. How have we evolved? Because we're in the middle of this digital wave. This virtualization wave, theCUBE is in there. We've been successful. There's been different use cases. Some have been embedded into the software. Amazon's got their own run of show. But events are more than just run on the show content. It's a lot more. There's more community behind us, Stu. Your thoughts on how theCUBE has evolved and what are you seeing? I'm glad, John, you just mentioned immunity. So you and I have talked many times on air and just the two of us. theCUBE is as much a network and a community as it is a media company. So first of all, it's been so heartening over the last couple of months that as we've been putting out content, we're still getting some great feedback from the community. One of the things I personally miss is when we step off the stage and you walk the hallway and you bump into people that know and they ask you questions where they share some of the things that they're going through, that data that we always look for is something we still need. So I'm making sure to reach out to friends, diving back into the social channels to make sure that we understand the pulse of what's going on. But John, our community has always been online.  We have to deal with everyone's home systems and home network. Every once in a while, you hear a dog barking in the background or a child running, but it actually humanizes stuff. So there's that opportunity for the communities to rally together. Some of my favorite interviews have been, the open source communities that are gathering together to work on common issues, a lot of them specifically for the global pandemic. And so there are some really good stories out there. I worry when you talk about companies that are saying, hey, this is the opportunity for us. There have been so many job losses in this pandemic that it just is heartbreak. So we love when the tech community is helping to spur new opportunities, create new industries. I had a great interview that I did with our friends from A Cloud Guru and they've seen about a 20 to 30% increase on people taking the online training. And one of the main things that they're taking training on is the 101 courses on AWS, on Google and on Azure. As well as an interesting point, John, they said multi-cloud is something that's come up. So 2020 we've been wondering, is AWS going to admit that multi-cloud is a thing? Or are they going to stick with their hybrid message and ask that their partners not talk about multi-cloud? It's been interesting on the virtual queue because we and Amazon has been a visionary in this and letting the queue be virtual with them. It's become a connective tissue stew between the community. And if you think about how much money the companies are saving by not running the physical events and with the layoffs, as you mentioned, I think there could be an opportunity for theCUBE to be that connective tissue, to bring people together. And I think that's the mission that we hope will unfold. But ultimately, digital investments will probably go up from this. I'm seeing a lot of great conversion around, okay, so the content, what does it mean to me? Is it my friend group? Are my friends involved? How do I learn? How do I discover? How do I connect? And I think the interesting thing about theCUBE is we've seen that upfront. And I think there's a positive sign, a head stew around virtualization of the media and the community. I think it's going to be an economic opportunity. And I hope that we could help people find either jobs or ways to reengage and reconnect. So again, reinvents coming, you got VMworld, all these big shows still, they drop so much cash. Can you imagine if they put all that cash into the community? I think that's a viable scenario. Yeah, no, absolutely, John. There is big money in events. Yes, there are less costs. There are also, almost none of them are charging for people to attend and very few of them are charging their sponsors. So, you know, big shift in and how we have to look at these that needs to be a real focus on content. I mean, from our standpoint, John, from day one, and we've been doing this a decade now in the early days when it was a wing and a prayer on the technology, it was always about the content and the best people help extract that signal from the noise. So, you know, some things have changed. The mission overall stays the same. And you know what, Amazon is being humble. They're saying we're figuring it out. Of course, we're psyched that we're there with the Virtual Cube stew. Thanks for spending the time kicking off this virtual coverage. Wrap up, not as good as face to face. Love to be there on site. But I think it's going to be easier to get guests to stew in the virtual world but we're going to go to a hybrid as soon as it comes back to normal. Sounds like cloud stew, public hybrid virtual. There it is. Stu, thanks so much. Okay, that's the Cube coverage for AWS Summit virtual online. This is the Cube virtual coverage. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next segment.


Good morning guys! Happy Thursday! Today is the day that I go to Orlando. I'm so freaking excited. You guys don't understand It's the first time I've gone back since graduating from UCF, and I'm gonna see all my friends I'm gonna go visit my sorority house. I'm gonna eat all my favorite foods. Probably the most exciting part Just kidding the friends part is the most exciting part But still eating is probably like one of my favorite things to do. So I'm pumped about that I just finished packing up and My friend Taylor is coming to get me.  The airport's super close to my house like Incredibly close. I've never lived this close to an airport, which is so convenient But also rinds at work right now And it's like such a short drive that I didn't want to spend the money to Uber there So I just asked Taylor for a favor and I I hate being needy But also I want to save the money because I do have to Uber around in Orlando a little bit because tomorrow I have some appointments and my friend Charlotte is working during the day So obviously she can't like transport me everywhere So I just want to save that little bit of money to go towards like the important ubers You know where I actually literally don't have anyone to drive me you guys will never believe But I fit everything into this small blue suitcase. I did it. I don't know how I did it this time Around I didn't bring as many shoes and I feel like that's where it gets kind of like chunky and big and like takes up a Lot of room so I brought well three pairs But I'm wearing one right now and I feel like I usually bring more than that so that might be the culprit I'm that psycho friend that made the itinerary for the weekend So that kind of helped to be packed though because I could be like okay dinner this night nice outfit Lunch this day casual sundress today I didn't put on face makeup because I'm getting a facial tomorrow And I just got a pimple and I'm like well perfect because now she can extract it But also not perfect because I'm trying to have really good skin for this weekend and just like obviously in general And it's one of those pimples that are just like under your skin and it like kind of hurts I'm like not the best feeling but I'm trying to like not pick at it Just because I know that she can probably do it tomorrow and hopefully it'll come to a head Okay, this is TMI. I guess I really don't have that much to say I'm just kind of rambling because wasting time and stuff but I'm gonna quickly take Sophie out before Taylor comes and Just make sure I have everything because this is like the worst part like thinking you forgot something and I just like need to leave the house and then Like not think about it, you know Taylor. We're at snooze Our favorite breakfast is me again Best place so yummy bought our food. I got egg spinach eggs. We're splitting a blueberry pancake And she got a little sandwich I'm at the airport about to get dropped off shout out to Taylor And my flight got delayed by like 10 minutes, but hopefully not any longer But yeah, I'm ready to sleep on this flight. I don't know why we're just like tired right now Guess where we are going our first stop can anyone guess we are at suicide eat station I literally said I wasn't gonna come here because I was like trying to be healthy and stuff But we just kind of picked somewhere around the airport and there was a location here So I couldn't pass it up Good morning guys, happy Friday. I am in Orlando, Florida And I am actually gonna go lift to Starbucks near UCF because I have quite a bit of Appointments to go to today. I have well just to I guess, but I have my facial my girl Molly man at Spa bar. I can't recommend her enough. I sometimes get really deep whiteheads So I'm just ready to get them all extracted by her and then after that I'm going to get my invisible line my new trays because these are like literally three months old and There's so many planes flying above me right now. So it's probably loud But um, yeah, so I'm gonna get new attachments. I told them they could put bottom attachments on the front of my All right, we'll just wait. I told them that they could put the attachments on the front of my bottom teeth only because those are like the ones that are having trouble moving and Originally, I wanted them all on the back. The attachments are all in the back. So Hopefully it won't look too weird. I'm also hoping they don't make me wear rubber bands again But we'll see today is also the day that I get to see my two other best friends Megan and Kailin and Kailin's actually gonna come pick me up for my last appointment. We're gonna Do some things around the water for an area and just hang out and waste time And then Megan's coming in later tonight So I'm very excited and then tomorrow's mock recruitment and I'll just kind of get into the more of that in tomorrow's vlog So I just got to fresh kitchen and I did a lot of work at Starbucks. So I feel very productive I feel really dumb though because I was looking at the time on my computer the whole time And I was like damn like another hour until I eat because I haven't eaten anything today And then I looked at my phone and it said 1043 and I'm supposed to be at fresh kitchen at like 11 So I was like, uh Good thing I looked at my phone because I totally would have like passed the time and like wouldn't have realized that I need to be here This is Brandon, Rihanna, Carly and Nicole Hi everyone I just got to spa bar here with Molly and I made a video the last time I was here about like my pampered treatments in Orlando I know some of y'all follow me that go to UCF So if you're interested in getting a facial come here. I'll link that video in the description box below I just got out of my facial. I'm feeling so good and like relaxed I definitely fell asleep in that facial. She is so good. Trust me guys if you are in Orlando go to Molly man and honestly like I want to be back in a college town so bad even though like I Technically am in a college town because of UT, but I feel like prices in college towns are so good This facial was $60 and usually facials are like a hundred or something like that And you can always get like a 30 minute facial and it'd be like way cheaper. Sorry about the noises I don't know what's going on She told me that a couple of people went from my videos and that makes me so happy because I just want to spread The goodness of her work like literally she's just so good and I want everyone to have good skin So it makes me very happy that Some people went for my videos So if you guys are one of the people that went then comment on this video and tell me about your experience at spa bar Because I'm curious if you guys liked your facial I am currently waiting for my Uber and I'm about to go to my ortho appointment And I'm gonna get my nude in this line trays are clear, correct, whatever same shit And I'm not really looking forward to it because they're gonna put new attachments on and they're gonna be in the front and Definitely not the most comfortable thing. So all right guys, so I have my Attachments. I just got my new tray and they put a tap post on the bottom. Can you tell I'm just the first to Yeah, I can see okay. Is it like noticeable? Okay, I'm with Kaylin Yeah, I'll be saying Megan tonight But we are gonna stop at Goodwill because we're just like kind of wasting time We're gonna go to Ulta. I have to make some purchases Maybe you can help me because I know you're like super in a beauty Videos and stuff. We went to Goodwill. Kaylin found a really cool Jean Jagger back there for her New York trip Yeah, show it Very vintage So now we're going to go to Ulta and Find me some makeup because I have not bought makeup in so long. I feel like really yeah, that's impressive I know I'm trying to use what I already have I finished my two powders So now I can buy a new one. So I got some foundation Because I'm like getting too light for my foundation. So sorry that I was vlogging on my iPhone earlier I just it was such a crazy day just so many things happening So I didn't really feel like I wanted to just bring out my camera But I have a little haul for you guys. I did some damage And I went to Sephora. I went to Ulta and I went to Pallados And I'm actually really happy I got to go to Pallados because the Pallados near UCF is so good So if you guys go to UCF check out the Pallados because you could easily find like tailgate outfits going out outfits Literally anything. All right, so I'm gonna start with what I got from Pallados just because it's kind of out here I'm really into active wear lately. So I decided to pick up this black tinctop that says Calvin Klein performance. I feel like it's really comfortable and it was only six bucks.  Yeah, I need more Active wear tops because I feel like I run out like so often the other thing I got are these shoes and these were only 14 bucks and The brand is American Eagle and I don't know exactly what I would wear with this But I'm thinking like skinny jeans like fall sweaters kind of vibe I actually needed some refills on some makeup products So I went ahead and got them because there was a really good coupon. It was like ten dollars off of 40 So the first thing I got is this L'Oreal and valuable pro glow. I love this foundation so so much This is what I've been using I want to say here now, but that made it be wrong like almost a year now And it is so good and obviously it's drugstore. So it's affordable I'm not really sure what color I am, but I think that the one above this is the one that I'm using right now It's a little too dark for me and I'm getting like a little less tan, but I do live in Austin It's still summer. It's gonna be summer for a while. So who knows I might get like a tan randomly So I thought I would just pick up the lighter color in case I wanted to like mix them both just to make me look a little less orange in the face And then I got this brow pencil and I've actually used this before I thought it was wet and wild But I guess it's LA girl So this is the LA girl shady slim brow pencil in the blackest brown Next I am running out of the tart shape tape and I swear I've been restocking that for years now Like you can go back and watch my old makeup videos and I've been using it for so long Decided to try something new today. So I got the Milani Conceal and Perfect I think I've heard a lot about this and I kind of did some quick research before I went to Ulta And I don't know if this is my color I feel like it's a little bit dark because like I like my concealer to be a little bit lighter than my foundation The next thing I got are lashes for some reason I just always have to pick up lashes when I'm at Ulta because I never know when I'm gonna run out so these are the kiss lashes in 11 and these are the ones I wear a lot. So if I'm not wearing my whispies from Ardell It's these kiss lashes. Then the last thing I bought from Ulta is this Miracle Matte Translucent finishing powder from Flower and I've never bought anything from this cosmetic line before but I looked up the best drugstore Translucent powders and this was one of them and I actually took it out of the container and tested it And I was kind of like intrigued by it like it was really soft very very fine So it's like I think I'm gonna pick you up And I don't think it was expensive at all because it's again in the drugstore side of Ulta And that is all I got from Ulta getting it to splurge items I went to Sephora and I picked up two things. So I went in there wanting this hooter beauty tan tour Ronzing like contour contour cream. It's pretty much a cream that goes on and like turns into a powder So it's super duper blendable. I got it in the color tan, which is actually super dark, but It blends out really well So I'm hoping that'll give me like the perfect contour because I feel like my contour has just been like Nothing like it doesn't even show and I just sit there like trying to like Layer contour on my face, but it just like isn't very dark And then the last thing I got which was very needed because I got a facial today And she extracted the pimple kind of but it's still like a bump kind of thing And it just does not feel good. It's definitely not gonna look good under my makeup So I thought I would try this out and my sister has been Raving about these things. I swear I get so many recommendations from my sister But this is the peace out acne healing dots and a lot of people swear by these So I thought I would give it a try because I just want this pimple to go So that is the haul of the day and we don't really have that much to do tonight but Megan is coming in so we're gonna go to dinner somewhere and Not gonna be too crazy of a night But I'll probably vlog a few clips and then end the vlog. Did you miss it Megan? Did you miss being on my vlogs? Megan's here


So you wanna make a drone video and not just any drone video. You wanna make an FPV freestyle drone video. That's the best type of drone videos. That's what we here at Rotor Riot live for. But what exactly should you do? What should that look like? Should you do a little bit of pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft. Maybe it should be a little more like pfft pfft pfft pfft.  Guys, I'm Lidrib from Rotor Riot And today we are talking about five types of FPV freestyle. What's the right style? What's the wrong style? What's the best style? Well, I'm here to tell you there is no such thing. That's the best part about FPV freestyle. It's called free style. You're free to do whatever style you want. And there are great many different styles that you can fly. That's why FPV drone freestyle is so cool because it is expressive. It's about your individual way of doing tricks and maneuvers and putting it together in a really amazing video. Now, there are certainly more than just five types of FPV freestyle. In fact, I believe every pilot flies a little bit different and has their own individual style. So it's essentially infinite. But these five types are the most common types of FPV freestyle. Now, before we actually get into the list, I want to remind you guys to check out Rotorite.com for the best deals on ready to fly FPV freestyle drones. We are frequently running sales. And if you want to be the first to know about a sale, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter. In fact, right now we are currently running a 20% off sale on all of our pre-built FPV drones and DIY build-it-yourself kits. That sale's going on to the end of the month. So if you're seeing this video before the end of, what is it, September, make sure to go on there and get yourself a new build. And if you miss out on this sale, don't worry. Like I said, make sure to subscribe to the newsletter so that you can be one of the first to know about our future sales. We do them a lot. Are that's gonna do it for the plug for this video? Let's get to the list. The best place to start this list is what I like to call Acro Freestyle. This is where FPV freestyle really began. As quadcopters began to get smaller and more nimble and started to be able to do high speed flips, that's what really defined freestyle in the early stages. Having a small quadcopter that could rotate quickly, do those acrobatic movements, that's really what freestyle was. That's really all that was possible at that time. At the time when it was created back in 2014, 15, 16 era, it was just as much about piloting skill as it was about drone setup. To be able to get drones to do these fast flips, you had to be really good at tuning them and squeezing all the performance that you could out of an open pilot CC3D. Man, that's an ancient board. Back then, just the idea of a drone doing a was mind blowing. And now since then, drone performance has gotten much more accessible. Flight controller technology has come a long way. Motors are more robust, frames are more durable, and it is much easier to fly hard and push yourself in freestyle. And since then, a lot more freestyle styles have kind of come out of the mix, but that is not to say that acroflying is the easiest or that it's gotten left behind. No, not at all.  You'll find that acro pilots are obsessive about stopping the Rubik's Cube with their horizon perfectly level or just keep tweaking and playing with their tune so that there's no bounce back. Acro pilots tend to want everything to be very crisp, very refined, very reliable. As far as the drone setup goes, acro pilots tend to prefer top-mount battery drone frames with a center chassis. As far as camera angle goes, you can tend to see 20 to maybe as high as 40 degrees because acro pilots do wanna be flying at a greater speed, not necessarily like all-out race speeds, but they do seem to wanna fly a little bit faster so that those very rapid flips and tricks kind of go with the speed that they're already traveling at. One of the first names that comes to mind when you think of this acro style has to be Mr. Steel. He was kind of one of the first to really push this type of high-speed, highly refined, crisp flying and he's still pushing that today. More recently, we've seen pilots like Vic Lanning come onto the scene and make a name for themselves with their very sharp and refined maneuvers. Acro flying continues to be a very popular style and I think what's really cool about it is that it appeals to newcomers because the first time you see a freestyle video and you see a drone that's capable of those very fast maneuvers, it is so different from the type of drone footage that you may have already seen from Mavic's or in Hollywood movies, right? To be doing these rapid flips is such a departure from what you see in kind of more mainstream drone use. I think it really hooks people and gets them excited about FPV freestyle. Moving on from the acro style, let's go to a complete opposite end of this spectrum. Let's talk about the flow style. This is the style that I most personally gravitate towards. The flow style is more about the overall movement of the drone in a location using that spot and doing maneuvers that almost make you feel like you're on a roller coaster ride. As you climb up to split us over a tree, hold that hang time, pull out with some speed, maybe throwing a flip here and there, but overall just you wanna see things linked together and just kind of flow, right? Flow pilots also tend to use top mount batteries with a center body. Flow pilots do seem to be a little more concerned about having props in view versus maybe some acro pilots. So it'll be even more common to have a squished X configuration to bring those props more out of view. Camera angle tends to be a little bit lower. So now we're talking more like between five and 15 degrees. So the overall speed of flying is going to be a little bit slower. You usually see flow pilots try to like build up their momentum coming out of dives and carry that. And it's all really about more momentum based speed rather than power based speed. When I think of flow pilots, of course I think of Schizo FPV who I think really is the godfather of the flow. He was the first pilot that I ever saw were less about the tricks and more about just flowing through the trees. Nowadays we see pilots like Bubby FPV coming onto the scene throwing down some really long flowy lines as well as Farouk. I really like Farouk's style. He definitely has some flow but also brings in a little bit of that crisp and also some juice. We'll get to the juicy style later. But for now, the third type of FPV freestyle that I want to get into is the Maddie style or the mind bending style. For this one, I'm actually going to start with the drone setup. What you really tend to see with the Maddie mind bending style is very high up tilt. We're talking 60, maybe even 70 degrees of camera up tilt. These drones are going to be flying at a very steep angle of attack. And because of these two things, you tend to see a very different type of drone build. Pilots flying this mind bending style actually tend to use auto mount battery drones with TrueX. Props being in view is not going to be a concern at all when your camera's looking way up away from ever seeing them. The bottom mount frame construction also allows the drone to be more compact in the center. And pilots claim that that would have less aerodynamic drag. Again, it's flying at such a steep angle of attack. You might not want that center body creating resistance as you try to cut through the air. So ultimately, what does all this get you? Why are you building this bottom mount high up tilt drone? What is the mind bending style? Well, the mind bending style are tricks like Maddie flips and trippy spins where you are essentially flying backwards but your camera is looking so far upward that it looks like you're flying upside down. This allows for some crazy maneuvers. We're talking about things like flying under bridges where you're able to just trace the roof of the bridge just for what seems like forever or being able to do figure eights around treetops looking up at them. Of course, the iconic Maddie flip, essentially a reverse power loop. These mind bending flights are always so impressive and they're known as Maddie style flights because they were pioneered by a pilot called Maddie Stunts. Maddie basically invented this style of flying and was doing so many things that people couldn't believe. He was the first one to do the reverse power loop which the community came to call the Maddie flip. Nowadays, we see pilots like Florent Roke and Blue Owl holding down that Maddie mind bending style and it is always impressive. In fact, both those pilots Florent and Blue Owl have one online freestyle contest with these impressive mind bending maneuvers. I got the juice. I got the juicy style FPV. Juicy style, it's a little bit hard to describe. It's all about kind of like freaking the quad. Let me explain what I'm talking about. Something you see a lot of juicy style pilots do is tilt their quad forward and apply a lot of thrust to get themselves going and then snap to even out and then let their momentum carry them. Juicy pilots tend to use drones like the Acro or the Flow Style pilots with the center body and the top mount battery but their camera angle tends to be very, very low, maybe even flat. So we're talking between zero and 10 degrees and that's really where that mix of thrust and momentum based speed comes from. With such a low camera angle, you're gonna need to like juicy flicker. And really all the juicy style maneuvers are built around this concept. Something else you tend to see juicy pilots do is this kind of like bunny hop maneuver where rather than just flying in a straight line, they're kind of flicking themselves back and forth. I believe this serves two purposes. One, it helps them keep their speed up despite their low camera angle and two, it helps them avoid the dreaded mid throttle oscillation. So if you're just cruising at a constant speed across a field, there's a good chance that your motors could settle into some harmonic that create a lot of vibrations in your videos and you get that horrible jello effect by constantly going, you avoid your motors ever settling into one of those kind of vibey harmonics. Overall, what I'm saying is juicy style flying is a lot of throttle blips and momentum carries.  That's the, that's the juke. When it comes to the music and juicy FPV videos, it's definitely gonna be a little more house, electro, dance, EDM sort of thing. A lot of the times there's gonna be long drawn out female vocals. Can't you just, you can just see it the van over played this song so many times on repeat while he was editing one of his videos. I, huh, huh, stop, stop playing. When you think of juicy pilots, you think of Johnny FPV. We're kind of old school Johnny FPV. Johnny's older freestyle videos definitely kind of invented a lot of these juicy maneuvers. Wild Willy was always right there with Johnny doing a lot of the same things. I think that the two of them really kind of made the juicy style a thing. But we're still seeing a lot of pilots doing juicy things. Like, van over definitely throws a lot of juicy tricks in the mix. I don't know if I see too many like strictly juicy pilots like you did back when Johnny was doing that sort of thing. But of course I'm not familiar with every freestyle pilot out there so I'm sure I'm missing something. Drop a comment down below with your favorite juicy style pilot. Who is really hitting the juice hard? Now the last type of FPV freestyle we're gonna talk about is cinematic. Look at the flight. Now this one, I've kind of been questioning if it's a freestyle type at all or if it's really its own genre. When I think of FPV drones, I think you got racing, you got freestyle and you've got cinematic. Cinematic being very purposeful flying where the purpose isn't the flight itself. It's about tracking a subject or showing a landscape. It's shots that you might actually see in a movie or in a TV commercial or something like that. But even though cinematic is a genre of FPV drones itself, it still remains as a type of FPV freestyle. What I mean is you're kind of blending the idea of the focus being the subject you're chasing or the landscape you're flying and the focus being look at these tricks I'm doing as a pilot. I mentioned Johnny FPV doesn't do so much of that juicy style flying anymore. Well he's really gone into the cinematic universe and he works on a lot of big productions doing the cinematic flying for those productions. But the videos that you'll find on his channel are what I think are the perfect example of cinematic freestyle. Where they are cinematic shots but there's still a big focus on the drone maneuver as he whips over the top of a dome or races up a staircase or gets deep in the clouds of a smoky drift car. When it comes to a cinematic drone setup, getting the props out of view is an absolute must. With cinematic being something that might require you chasing different subjects, you'll see cinematic pilots use everything from zero to 30 degrees of camera tilt. What I appreciate most about cinematic style flying is that I think it does a great job of exposing more people to FPV and getting them into this awesome hobby. Like I mentioned with Acro flying, people that are already hooked or interested in the idea of FPV drones and are kind of new to it are very fascinated by the capability of these fast flips and want to start learning how to do these different tricks. I think cinematic style is something that really hooks people in in the first place. It's something that they're more likely to come across because they're looking for a cool video of a motorcycle doing a backflip and then you see this crazy clip where the camera swoops around the guys, he's doing the aerial and you're like, how did you even get that? Oh, it's an FPV drone. I got to get myself to rotariot.com and get one of these. You thought we were only going to have one plug. All right guys, that is going to do it for today's list but I'm sure I missed something. I'm sure new styles are being developed as techniques and tricks from the styles we mentioned are being mixed and matched and blended together. I can't wait to see what future generations of pilots bring to the idea of freestyle and what ways of flying these drones, they're going to think of that. We haven't even dreamt up yet. Leave a comment down below with, what's your favorite type of FPV freestyle?  Do you want that juice? What are you into? There's no right or wrong answers. It's called free style because you're free to do whatever style you want with these drones. There's no rules, there's no boundaries. The only limit is what you can come up with and how you can push the limits of these drones. Guys, thank you for watching this video.

Ogun state social democratic party as DP has vowed to adopt community policing in tackling incessant insecurity in the state if elected to power come 2023. This is according to the governorship candidate of the party Tony Ojasina. He stated that, stated this while unveiling his running mate in Abelkota the state capital. The party chairman gave an assurance that the party will win the coming elections. We are able to get a devaluation where state policing becomes a mission. We will push that through our members in the national assembly but at the same time we will also enhance our local security that we have and empower them. Ogun state entities are very intelligent and we will buy into it because we will point out to some things that we want to do better. Everybody is tried. Everybody has come and they have tried. None of their best. But what we want to do is create that model state. I will keep explaining to them what the model state is. And once they know what the model state they will buy into it. It was very calm arrangement. Without wasting time I plugged into the vision and based on a discussion I believe that based on the key four key point agenda we will ensure we put this state in front of the other state among the country. Besides they also look at what's called security outfit. We have to empower to ensure that we have a safe environment. This is Nigeria today. What do we need to do? What should we do? Are we not tired? We are confident that the party will win because we are a credible alternative. It's as simple as that. Which other party do you have that have the credibility of SDP in Nigeria as we speak? If it's not SDP, even in Ogun state, people are tired. Governments that cannot give us palliative. It's as simple as that. Are they going to take us from this dundrum? From this economic whatever. You know, I've made the vow not to run anybody down and not to go to a campaign of Calamity. They've looked at the exchange rate, the economy, the state of health, security. It's obvious that we need a change.
