What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do it build it or make it so do we we have a new video each week? And on Tuesdays did I say we have a new video each week? I don't think I did but we do we have a new video each week and on Tuesdays Sometimes we have test cut Tuesdays like this week We have a new actually if you guys follow us on social media You'll see I already test cut this one and painted it because I wanted to bring it to the craft show last weekend and We thought we would have a different test cut for today But it's not ready yet So we're gonna do this one for today since we haven't done it with this group We're technically here to chat because we added a slap. Yes. It is actually yeah Yeah, we call it a green hole So what does that mean? So at the top where I have my ribbon slots At the top where I have my ribbon slots I put a third hole right in the middle kind of like a third eye Kind of like a third eye sees all and it holds all like now you can zip tie the greenery and stuff to the mid to the middle right so Like I said on my social media I tried to I wanted to start adding greenery to some of these files, but it's been so expensive Everything I found was so expensive. Well, I found this little bit of greenery on Amazon It comes in 10 foot lengths and you can cut it down into What would you say that is about six inches maybe six inch lengths and I can get Five hangers ten of them What is it ten foot and I'm not doing the math anyway? I can get hangers at a ten feet Well, I can get five hangers out of ten feet. So yeah, it makes sense Right. Yeah. Yeah So yeah, there's each one There's six inches that's one foot. I can get ten hangers out of ten feet Okay, no, I actually said it two different ways, but yeah, whatever it was ends up being 75 cents per hanger. So I think it's doable. So for certain hangers now I want to start adding some greenery And so not all of them would get it like the chicken coop wouldn't get greenery, but the monograms could do hey I could at the top I Could do monograms and other things and add a little greenery for an extra 75 cents So that's great. All right. I see you're dying to use your mirror. What you got there. Oh wait What's happening today? We're staining actually we don't have a picture. So It's in our you can go back out to the thumbnail because it's in the thumbnail So, you know what we're doing we're gonna be doing this leopard print door round We're gonna add the greenery. I'm gonna do that new bow that I was Sharing on our story the other day if you voted Which bow everybody voted for the new bow or most people did there were some votes for the old bow So I think I could go either way if I were in a hurry I could go with the standard bow. I think we called it the standard bow So the other one takes a lot more time and takes more material Yeah, a little bit more time, but not a lot more time So yeah, so the other thing that we're gonna do with this this one It's pretty simple to paint.   It doesn't look quite as flat as the front side Which is beautiful if you're trying to get a nice even coat But for this I'm gonna stay in the backside of it leave The burn marks on the back and it gives it a little more variation.  Yeah Yeah, so anyway, this is the one everyone voted on this this bow and There were two different fonts here and I asked I also shared that There's this font. That's a little thinner skinnier. I haven't really used this fall before but I like it I think it looks kind of wispy. Yeah, like, I don't know It's fast like a cheetah. See what I'm saying Lean like a cheetah. I told her Yeah, I don't even know where you're going. Oh, well, this font is like I feel like this is somebody who enjoys Yeah, yeah I feel like this font. There's an actual cougar that lives there So we're going with the cougar one And then you can give your vote actually, maybe we can just paint them both and you can vote before I glue it down Do the old voting glue All right, I think I've given my hey, this is what we're doing speech and I haven't even had a chance to say hello to anyone I might be able to put this up behind us so you can see it I'll start painting this bottom piece. Well, don't you want to say hello? Yes All right, I see a bunch of you guys there. Thanks for being flexible with us. I know we've changed the time again We're gonna try and change it back to four o'clock. I felt like we got more of more folks here at the four o'clock time frame We did a little review of the analytics.  We'll just start doing it at four o'clock. So I Hope I didn't lose anyone because we changed the time again But we'll go back to this four o'clock and hopefully keep it consistent and everyone will kind of know where we are when we are All right, go in that way. We'll be on the same bat at the same bat time Same bat channel. All right, here we go, right? Yeah, I see Jason and Lori and Tyra and Diana Ruth Christine Who's that? Jamiex? Jamiex. Yeah, and then Donkey Kong It's Scott and Elizabeth Donna Bob Kimberley Catherine Tracy Helen.  What's happening? I like your trucker name a Kim B. JJ William Terry and Donkey Kong again Only goes Did you see Chris did you say how to Chris out there? There's one plate Minnesota makes tiny oh it's over here. I moved it back to my side. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I should glue that onto my All right, I'll start painting this black Well, the top half is stained and I think you're gonna need two different stains Yes The We'll just do the bottom the light color stain. I'm gonna I've got the wrong stain. I need a lighter coat Yes, but I figure you might as well do them the same You're painting the bottom half black Okay, and then you're gonna paint the center banner black And then we're gonna stain the leopard print overlay and in the top section So are these two different stains? Well on this one they are but I'm not gonna do that I'll just go get this because you can't hardly see it. Yeah, so I'll just get the same stain Which is not this dark one All right, all right get it together she's What is happening out here so many chit chats, and I'm not even a part of it So first of all Diana is from surprise, arizona. How cool is that surprise? Ruth christian everybody says hello scott says hello Hannah says garret you gave me something to convince my husband. I needed a glow forge now I need a bigger one. Give me some more reasons for a bigger laser All right, isn't that easier? Yeah, I mean easy to do because you want to be able to cut more Faster if you're selling these things you can produce more product and get more stuff out there for sale Either on etsy or social media or farmers market craft shows wherever you're taking it You can just bigger the laser. Yeah. Yeah, if you don't if you're not if you're not making something big You can still produce more with a bigger More powerful laser and if depending upon what size you get you can do thicker material You get more powerful laser will do thicker materials. We just did half inch On the hundred watt Bob says he's on the road again On the road again Tracy says yay. I just happened to be looking at my phone. Thank you. Tracy.

He makes me stand here and stand still. I have to look at the camera and stand still Hopefully that helped that helped Although I like that soft. I wanted a little the softer light Out of focus. Okay. Well, hopefully you guys tell me if it's out of focus though. All right William says I want the best but I'm looking at the 50 watt polar is that just as good Good starter laser. Yep. I agree. Yeah, I think the polar is a good starter laser I need to get my sails up to cost justify the bigger laser lots of DUD craft shows with no customers this spring up here. Oh Oh christian. Yeah, I keep going Yeah, it's been slow But it's still early. Yeah, it's early may Are you that looks wet girl? What boy?  Okay Like a girl boy Oh my goodness She lory wants to know about the Um new craft standards. Are we gonna make that file available?  Don't jinx it. You're gonna jinx us Here we are 27 degrees this morning jinxed total jinx Uh christian says so you're not wiping off the stain just rolling it leaving it This is paint christian so far. He just did black paint on the bottom He's about to do stain. I had to go get it. So he will get my stain on he will um Well, what I found is we might have to get you a roller that it's hard to Wipe the stain on that leopard print with just a paper towel It kind of needs a roller or a sponge. You think so? Well, you can tell me what you think Going in I'll take care of business for mdf. There's no grain so no need but i'm always used to wiping it off for projects Yes, we do wipe it off though because it dries faster Yep, it dries faster. It shows through the little Um, it shows a little wood grain in there and gives it a little yeah It gives it just a little more variation in color a speckle A little speckle paint and steve says he's having a hard time hearing us. You guys let me know if you can't hear us Chris says it's still out of focus Helen says she's having a hard time with people calling her while she's at work Hmm. Well, I don't know auto focus Well, when we look down is going to take us out of focus, right? Yeah, just never look down continuous eye contact from here on out. How am I going to check the chat? Don't Don't do it I'm doing it. Oh, no, you let me know if it gets worse. Just let me know. I'm gonna do it. I feel like it's getting worse already Yes, Scott said you guys ever make something for a while and then you make You stop making something for a while and then you make one again and then everybody wants one Yes Those are spring watering cans Uh, making life fun with Tina and Cindy. So Tina or Cindy or Tina and Cindy have asked Garrett How do you get wood a quarter inch thick to cut all the way through? I have a glow forge I use the thick draft board settings literally that's That's what I use Christian said this is why we can't have nice things tanner Chris said they got a foot of snow last weekend. Who's who's up there? Where they're gonna get was it lake What are they gonna get Tahoe's got 52 feet this year? Yeah this year somebody's getting oh up in new york, they're getting Eight inches somebody's getting eight inches or something in March again Yeah, I don't know. I just know we got a foot of snow last weekend. I guess eight inches is nothing for you We've got no snow so I'm complaining but Helen says at Scott I choose to stay away from some files But they are best sellers cartoon bees. I'm looking at you Yeah We feel you we also know that those are best sellers But we don't make them either because I cannot make them in volume. I cannot You know what kills me though Is when people choose that stuff for the workshops Yeah, looking at you strawberry gnome. Yeah Somebody just chose strawberry gnome again for a workshop coming up and she's never done a workshop before And I was like Yeah, uh-oh So we just have to kind of babysit her a little bit closer We just keep going over and then I got to remember how to put it together Because yeah, that one's got a lot of tricky little pieces to it Nothing a lot of a lot of uh, you'd think so but it doesn't go very far. So yeah, I do see It's a good color though. This is a great color the color This is Baratheon's honey Oh honey, and it's a great color. I like it Oh Tina's watching so it's Tina when I said Tina and Cindy Tina says she's the one watching Hot take Helen here Helen on the hot take Kareen's creations love your channel. This is the only crab channel my husband will watch with me Oh, that's nice. Oh, thanks You need to make another strawberry file, right? I do. We're gonna dump it down. Hey, we got a new idea Yeah, we got a new idea. We got our friends here. Yeah, we had a lot of feedback at this past craft show A lot of appreciated feedback What are you doing? What are you? I'm not sure where he's going then some lady who came up and said I really like this cow But I just wanted to say welcome I just want the little things that say welcome to it. Do you have one like this? It just says welcome. I was like no And then she said the same thing about the cat. Oh, I like the cat one. Do you have one that just says welcome? I was like, no It just says welcome. Hope you like cats. She's like, I don't want I don't want people to have to like cats to come into my house. I was like, I don't have to She's the other one that just says welcome. So is that where you're going? Um, not exactly I was going to talk about our new a way to get people A way to get people. Oh that idea. Yeah. Yeah, okay Yeah, so we got an idea. So we were sitting at the craft booth This weekend picture this picture this we're at the end that we are literally Like the last booth there was us and then the fudge No, that was the first booth of the last aisle and then there was one booth passed us So we're practically at the end of the whole thing and um, we did okay, but I feel like we could have done better So I was like we need here's the thing I don't know if you guys experienced this if we get one person in the booth Then we get five people in the booth if no one's in the booth then it takes a minute. Here you go Yeah, I need to open dad walls Then it takes a minute for somebody else to be brave enough to step in the booth We did move to a booth and a half We did add the rug so we've got more space. So it's easier to kind of Dip in and dip back out. You don't feel like you're entering my booth and you don't feel like you have to talk to me Um, so I think that helps a little but I was telling him what we need is a gimmick I need to keep people in the booth if I keep someone in there, why do you say that more people come in? Well, because there was a guy selling Um, he's a little ceramic like food graders. Yeah, it was it's a ceramic plate Like you would have a dipping bread dipping plate, but it had Yes, like nubs on it so that if you rub something on it it would Great cheese, you know, the little nubs would kind of grate the stuff that was on it Garlic he had a garlic press and then he rubbed the garlic on there And so every time because he was doing this demonstration People kept stopping to see what he was what he was doing what he was making over there So I was like, okay Well, we need to make something like work on a sign or something right here at our booth to get people in Or I was like, I think we could do our gimmick could be a sign bar And I think we should have a little overhang like it looks like a lemonade stand Jinx, you owe me a lemonade So I think we should it should be like a little stand like that and then we offer up Some basic rounds so this Helen this is where your bees come in or the strawberries come in This is why I came to mind is that we can basically say here's your different color backers Yeah a little like chipotle you pick your backer You pick your bottom layer and maybe it has strawberry cutouts or it has A little bee cutout or a leopard print or a pattern And then you pick your center banner and then and this in the right hand corner This the stain is getting I'm breathing the stain you have him. Yes. I feel like I'm happy staying And then in the right hand corner, you can put a little accent piece You know where we sometimes put like the cow head or whatever in the Right hand corner So you could put a little round piece there and then you could choose your accent No accent or an accent And so the banner would be cut out like a circle and you lay your accent piece on the circle So all the center banners are the same Or it has no cut out for for to not have a circle so that the center banner is just straight So basically you pick your backer color and I have all of these kind of prepared And I could always paint them all there because they're going to be like basics So do the backer color do the the bottom banner color Pattern and then You pick your welcome and you basically put your sign together there And I think if we're doing that people might I might be able to keep people in the booth longer, which brings more people into the booth So what do you guys think about a sign bar? Let me know I'll go back to the comments. You were probably giving me before I went on a rant about the sign bar Tina is in Apollo Beach, Florida And it she said man, it's cold. It dropped to 77. Whoa. I know I was just thinking about Stop bragging Tina. I'm from Ohio. So I understand snow It's a 19 in Anchorage, Alaska Sheesh It's almost as cold as Alaska here Wow Catherine says when the snow finally melts, I'll be moving driving to New Mexico Glowforge is all packed and ready to ship next week. Wow, that's so great You excited you excited about the move? Catherine says have a person who can stand in the booth when it's empty Well, I'll tell you what I did a little bit this weekend and we on saturday. I had our teens with us Saturdays are pretty busy. So you don't really have that problem. There's almost always somebody in there But towards the afternoon We had both teens there and they were standing there talking Behind the table with me and Garrett There wasn't enough room for four of us to certainly be standing back there So I told him to go stand in that corner over there Face the sign and then chat with each other And so maybe someone would think that they're out there looking or talking about the sign So I did that and I do think it helped a little and every now and then Sarah would go. Oh, I love this sign Uh, what was that material you did with the photo and led base? That was acrylic scott and then we're gonna that's this week's video So we're gonna do the full video on that Using the polar laser on friday Yeah, I learned some neat little tricks this week So I thought I would share What I learned Yeah, he's gotten we I'll show you I think it'll be fun to show All of our little test cuts. Yeah, and how I got better Better and different changed a little Like one of them I think is pretty cool, but It's doesn't have a level of details. We look like uh Like crow magna like uh, yeah, that's what Garrett said Uh, you look like a neanderthal on this one. It was like thanks. I said we You you didn't look like a neanderthal you look he just looked the same in every one But I was down here smiling and the thing messed up and my nose got all flat and wide and I was like What is happening to me? Yeah, and you looked like I had a lot of a lot more age on me a lot of wrinkles here A lot of wrinkles here.  Helen says the sign bar makes me feel like I'll focus on that and won't complete signs lol Well the idea is you make your own you make your own sign you get to pick it out Now I feel like they get to feel like they're customizing your own sign And you don't have to put all the signs together You don't have to put signs together that won't so you just have to bring pieces that will so And the person can piece the sign together You know, I just I don't know if it'll work, but I might I think I might try it though never hurts We'll try it and let you guys know.  Yes Now that's pretty easy up in our booth We go broke on magnets Patricia Rouse says Hello everyone my daughter wants this one. Yeah, this is a cool one. I like it Um that post I'll see that post showing off the signs with the tiny hands was the best ever Oh my gosh. I thought I didn't we didn't get a ton of feedback on it, but it was You could probably hear me back there laughing Because at first he was like he was bored and that's why I went over and did that tick tock. He touched it and then Did you did anyone see what he did with the bunny the bunny butt?  Um Oh at the end with the cow tongue.  This is a quarter inch mdf and a 16 inch round Christian says a sign bar is a good idea. Lots of pieces potentially to manage. I know Yeah, we thought about that. I was even thinking perhaps have a pre-made gnome or some 3d element. They can plop on the sign Yeah, that's what i'm thinking about that accent like a little round piece up here that has that I guess I mean and we're guessing we have to come in a matching set if you have the Strawberry bottom you're going to want the strawberry accent piece or if you have the b bottom you'd want the b accent piece I don't know somebody might want a b bottom Strawberry top. Yeah, that would be silly. I don't know. I'm trying. I'm still trying to put it together But I'm just trying to make our booth have a gimmick that makes you want to step in and see what's happening Um, there was a sign do magic tricks That's not a sleight of hand. No, that's not the gimmick. I was looking for there was a sign booth near us But and they were doing personalization Now we could just do a bunch of signs that leave the bottom open for a big monogram That's kind of what they were doing And we don't have anything like that because then I'll just bring up bring a bunch of letters And have them pre-painted and I can slap them on I think she was hand her signs were painted And um, she was hand painting the letters on I mean, that's not really my look my look is more like this 3d look so Um, I'm not gonna hand paint a monogram, but I could certainly have all the letters cut where we take it to another level Yeah That should be our hook um Scott I really could go either way. He asked if we mirrored the photo and lasered the back of the acrylic. Yes Yes, the answer is yes. He did hurt. Yes It came out better. It came out better. Yes. All right. So then the answer is yes mirror it And make it the back and then put it in the oven for baby What if you focus on just the monogram customization? Yeah, that's what Helen said I mean, maybe that's all I need. It's just a the monogram gimmick Lori says we laugh so hard and so much at that tic-tac. We've watched it so many times Well, I'm happy to hear that because it made me laugh too and I have watched it at least five times myself because it makes me laugh How he just gently comes over and touches the the dog paw the cat paw. Yeah Gently touches each of them Yeah, it could be demoing bows Um, we've been out bows. Well, that was something somebody else said and you guys could give me your thoughts on that too Do we make the bows? optional like they come without a bow and if you want a bow it's an extra five dollars or something and then um It's too far back there. You're gonna have to get up close Me too, that's why I carry them with me They're like my five shooters If it's not 3d then it brings it into a more competitive space with the cricket sign and vinyl signs Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I like that. I mean, that's what that's hopefully what's setting us apart from the others agreed The cat bunny made us laugh the most. Yeah, see they're good. Me too They are laughing at your tiny and lol Ruth's going to bingo. Have fun at bingo. Yeah fun at bingo. Good luck May you win big All right, if you grab the bow bag, I already have these cut Where's the bow bag? Right in the front Just go So I'm going to make the bow I could probably get started on the bow since This part is done And I'll show you how I made that new bow So I'm still using the same Burlap. You know what? I don't even have measurements. So let me grab the tape measure We are losing control of our craft room. It is a mess back there We are about to do the redesign and move everything this way But until then we're having a hard time cleaning up I need a tape measure. I think there's one ready. Maybe I'll on the The shipping table right there I want to give them an idea of the difference in sizes. No, I don't need this The truth you this buying All right So here, let's see. Oh good. You guys are in the overhead Here is the backer piece. This is the same size I always use What size is this 23 23 24 inches maybe whatever it takes Um, here's the bigger bow It is 29 inches And then here is the smaller bow And it is 24 inches So maybe even 28 and 24 So in 24 24 24 these two would be the same And then this one is just a little bit longer at 28. You guys see that I just saw this on Pinterest. So I saw somebody else make it. I liked it. I thought I'd try it So now you guys get to follow along That is still the same.  You see how I've just done that And then What you're going to do is just basically that ends up making the bow. Do you see how I've just Squished it together To make the bow. That's all I did there was take that loop like that Like the cancer ribbon Can you guys see it and then I'm just going to bring it all together squish it together and then it becomes a bow Um, I well you want it overhead. I feel like they can focus to see a little bit more And this one you want to make short tails and make this as long as you can And then this one you're going to do the same thing All I'm doing is bringing them together Squish scrunching them in the middle There you go See all I did was scrunch them and stack them And then what I saw her do was use a little piece of rope I like to look at that So just have a little piece of twine here. I'm not even using a zip tie. I guess you could use a zip tie And I'm just looping it around a bunch of times and then I'm going to tie it in the knot back there I know you guys can't see that. It's super tiny, but you get the gist. I'm just tying this in a knot Are you focused? Yeah I'm waiting on my part What is your part? The tractable tiny hand. He's so annoying. He's so annoying But like look I can get that plate just out of reach So we'll just lay it on over And I'm going to go ahead and zip tie this piece the the big one together Like I normally do here. Can you go overhead?  That's how we do it.  I feel like sometimes I don't either. I sometimes don't hear you I have tuned you completely out And then I'm going to put these two together You see that and I'm going to put it together and I'm going to put it on the top there and I'm going to use this um Little string right here to do it.  When I zip tied on Should I have zip tied? I don't know.  I gotta I'm we're gonna we're changing this up on the fly I need a pair of scissors Tie the hole fine and everything at once You can see here that the top of this Has a little tiny hole here That I thought we could zip tie the bow on right in the center instead of on the sides Because this is kind of a bow that needs to be in the center I need you before I rip that tiny handle to find me a pair of scissors because I There's this is over there. They're not over there Right here Ah, nice, nice Woo, I'm coming at you My man So here I'm just going to loot these together And then I'm going to figure out the rest of it here in a moment That's why it's test cut Test cut Tuesday. We're figuring this out together guys Me and you Yep, and us and them We're all in it together. We're all in this together. What song is that? I don't know. Did you just make it up? No But I tell you what I I didn't leave enough of a tail to tie the top piece to the bottom piece So all right, that's fine cut this Next time I would have I'll just use the tail of the zip tie Yeah, the twine The twine twine tail Are you helping or hindering? I'm hoping you're helping. Yeah We're figuring this out together Are we? We are All right, so now I'm going to put Well, how am I going to do this? First of all, this little guy is going to go in here Yeah, now I'm going to zip tie I've got a zip tie one going across and then another one through So that I can zip tie it on there Maybe you need to come through the zip tie part first All I'm doing is shoving the tiny zip tie through the back, but I Push it down tight push it real good Oh, there you go Right?

So I'm really trying to give it some new flair. You can't just do the same old thing all the time So come join us tomorrow at four It depends on if he has the haiku done yet Whether you're gonna post it on patreon. They just flowed through me The poetry just flows Flows like a waterfall Yeah, the file isn't up yet, but let's do it over and under how long and take care I say two days and that's when chris said depends on how if the haiku is done Yeah, you guys are hilarious with that. I mean I was laughing Truly laughing out loud. You call me out I had to come Had to come back with a haiku Tracy says yes, I bought the kit last year, but haven't opened it yet. Well, great. We'll show you exactly how to use it We're going to have one already ready But we're going to show you how to make a stencil and then kind of do a quick version of it And then have one made and then we're going to use it Well, we have some plans for it later on We want to start offering like uh, oh lois. There you are I knew we missed you. I knew that we tricked you because we pushed it up earlier We mentioned it last week and this is where we're going to try and stay now We're going to try and stay at four o'clock eastern. What is it one o'clock your time? Yeah, I told Kim today. I was like, I don't even have a thumbnail. We go live today. What's the use? Yeah, he got stressed again four o'clock that four o'clock time frame and he loses it six o'clock He feels like it's like a whole different part of the day day away Yes, he feels like that's such a big difference. So I don't know why two hours freaks him out So I gave him an eye. I said, we'll just go with those. It was 130 and Kim's like, and here's my idea for this week's cut file At 130 you can go live at four. Can you give me this cut file completed by three? I gave it to him at 230 No, she gave me the design at 230 not a cut file. It was not cut ready Well, it could be it could be cut ready in 15 minutes. Oh really? Yeah Yeah All right. All right.  We are about out of time So we will see you on Friday where I have uh some good tips on engraving a photo Like I did a lot of research You'll get some good tips And then we will see you tomorrow where we're going to do something with the stencil And then we'll see you on sunday for the after show Again, look for it. It's the icon art crafters group That's where we'll be not the icon art like not their facebook page It's in their group and they've been doing that I think all month So if you are interested in icon art, then you might want to catch their lives because I think they have different folks go in live um a couple of times or Several times during the week for the month of march for I think it's the national craft month It's national craft month. Oh, I didn't even know I know we should be doing something for such slackers We should be doing something for national craft month. I don't think you can add one more thing to your plate I'm full. Thanks. And thank you guys. We will see you tomorrow


Yes, going back to, you mentioned the debate that you had with Socialist that you posted today. I watched that and it seemed like there was a lot of equivocation going on during that debate where he would equivocate between, you know, physical force and economic power. How do you put up with that? It's so frustrating. I was yelling at the screen a lot. Imagine if I were not in the debate, I'd be yelling at the screen. I mean, you have a completely different personality when you're there. But look, this is what they've been doing forever. Right? I mean, Iron Man talked about this. And of course, Haby Binsway has one of his best essays, is this essay on economic power versus political power. And actually was happy that he did it because he gave me an opportunity to talk about, hey, there's this thing called economic power and there's this thing called political power. And they're very different. And they're not the same. And you have to separate the voluntary from the forced, from the chorus, from a gun, from what's really, but if you watched my debates with Pacman originally, with David Pacman originally, he did the same thing, exactly the same thing. This is what the left relies on because they can't get away in their own minds. They can't get away because they believe that they're for freedom. And this is how they justify their free speech, the better left, not the completely wacky. They're for free speech, they're for abortion rights, they're for a bunch of social rights. But then what happens to economic rights? We say, well, economic rights are different because economic rights involve power. They involve, in a sense, force. And force, therefore, the government has to intervene. It's only in the economy do we see these forced kind of relationship. Now, what's interesting is the new left doesn't accept that. This is the big difference between the old left and the new left. The new left says, no, these power relationships exist in all human interaction, not just economic. This is why we have to regulate you because you're white. This is why we have to regulate you because you're male.  You now have a power relationship vis-a-vis a woman or vis-a-vis a minority. So they have taken this Marxist concept of economic power being the equivalent of coercion, the equivalence of force. And they've expanded that concept to every human interaction. You're tall. I'm short. So you have power over me. And this is the whole intersectionality. We create now whole sciences of who has power over whom, under what context is in which situations. And we need to then restrict the people with power. We need to regulate them, in a sense. We need to constrain them so that they don't exert that power over others. And it's not, you know, it's not coercion. It's self-defense because you're tall and I'm short. And I can't help being short. You can't help being tall.  They recognize you can't help yourself but being white. Now we have to just, now you have to be, you have to atone, you have to feel privileged, you have to, you have to. So they, this is a really, really, really important concept where they have, they have equivocated or they have stolen the concept. They've stolen the concept of coercion, of power, of force. And they've applied it where it doesn't belong. And by doing that, they now expand the government power and they've expanded their power over everybody's life and they've expanded the realm of guilt. That's the other thing that works, which is a moral, which is a way to control people, you know, by making them feel guilty for being white, male, tall, whatever. At least they're predictable in the debate.  This one was a little different because he had such a technology focused and I thought he dug himself. He, you know, he kept saying how wonderful these technology were. And he talked about this network effect and I'm going, yeah, network effects are great. This is why who cares how much, how much market power they have. They're taking advantage of network effect, which means we benefit. Because every time somebody joins the network, we get a disproportionate benefit from him joining the network that Facebook or Microsoft has created. So network effects are fantastic. And he, he went on and on and on about the wonders of network effects. I thought that was very convenient for me. But yeah, I mean, it's maddening because the left, and not just the left or right as well, they don't, they, you know, see, he started, I'm going to define freedom and then he doesn't. He just describes two different approaches to freedom with no, no definition, no idea of definition. And nobody defines anything anymore. And if, and you notice in their minds, all these concepts are floating, they mean nothing. And the left, this equivocation on the issue of force is the key to understanding the left attitude towards all these issues. I did seem to notice a difference between your conversation and your David Packman's moderation in that he seemed to have a really good grasp from his previous conversation with you of your position. So he's able to kind of lead you and articulate it. So I thought David did a really good job moderating. So I really, I thought he was very good at, you know, I was a little worried. He skewed it a little bit in the other guy's favor, but not, but not in any significant way. So I thought he did a very good job. And, you know, I would do it again with David moderating, because I do think he, it was good. It was good. So hopefully, hopefully we'll do more of these. I'm, I thought that one went well. I think even the leftist to watch it will, it'll at least cause them to think, you know, you know, some of these ideas challenge them. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that men's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, women's or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist. Using the super chat. And I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show, many of you step forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again. Maybe we'll get some more today. If you like what you're hearing, if you appreciate what I'm doing, then I appreciate your support. Those of you who don't yet support the show, please take this opportunity. Go to Iranbrookshow.com slash support or go to subscribe star.com. You're on book show and and make a kind of a monthly contribution to keep this to keep this going. I'm not sure when the next.


Thanks for joining us. I'm Brian May in the state operations center at the Cal OES headquarters just outside Sacramento today day 13 of the Thomas fire, a fire that is now the third largest fire in California history. And as expected, the red flag warnings up and down the state of California had made firefighting conditions very difficult today to talk more about that. I'm joined by Scott Birch with the National Weather Service. Scott, thank you first of all for joining us. Talk about the conditions and we see the numbers on here of some of the gusts. Talk about the conditions that firefighters saw on this Saturday as you guys anticipated. Yeah, it was a really windy day today. There was strong north winds really across California, but they worked down to the south and there was actually some canyons here north of Santa Barbara that funneled the winds. And those are the classic sundowners you may have heard. There are north winds in the canyons above Santa Barbara.  What causes gusts like that and winds like this? It's winds that are going down the slope so the momentum actually increases as they go down and plus they funnel through the canyons. It's kind of like a river flowing through rocks how the current picks up. The winds do the same thing. How hard is it for you guys to forecast and give these firefighters accurate descriptions of what they're going to be doing? It's hard, but we do have better tools than we used to have. We have a lot more powerful computers. We have a new satellite actually. We have a new satellite that was just launched last spring. So we have better tools. It's still hard, but we use our expertise and our tools to do the best we can. I will say this. We have briefings at Cal OES throughout the day and I believe every single one of our briefings begin with you guys at the National Weather Service. The role that you guys play in this firefighting effort is crucial for these firefighters, isn't it? Yeah, weather is actually one of the main things that drives the fire and the fire spread. So it is important and with ICS, one of the first things that they teach you and what they want to have you do is start with the weather because it really sets the picture for the rest of the day. Alright, speaking of the rest of the day, let's talk about the rest of the weekend. This now the forecast of what we're looking at the rest of the weekend. That's right. So our north winds that we had today, they're starting to slowly shift around to the northeast and to the east. So this is a pattern that's a classic Santa Ana wind event. It's also dry winds, hot winds, and they're the winds that actually sparked the fires in the first place that we're fighting now. You can see the winds overnight are going to shift to northeast to east and tomorrow it looks like we're going to be in Santa Ana conditions basically the whole day. And that could go on beyond Sunday as well? It'll go into Monday morning. And I know you're just the messenger here. Is there any chance of any kind of precipitation down south? Not down south for the next 10 days. It's just dangerous conditions, isn't it? That's right. Alright, Scott Burch with the National Weather Service. Thank you so much. We've talked to our crews throughout the day. You've seen these N95 masks. If you are in the fire zones, make sure you have masks on if you go outside. Also make sure that you're listening to all of your local agencies. If there are evacuation warnings, heed those warnings and leave immediately. For the very latest on all of the wildfires throughout California, you can go to our website, wildfirerecovery.org. I'm Brian May in the State Operations Center. Thanks for watching.


We pay attention to what they're doing and and and how they've gotten healthy as the years gone on I think you know with with Paxton Their rotation kind of starts with Paxton and then and then change Tanaka and we know that to be to be true Getting Severino back I think is a unique challenge because he's super fresh and he hasn't pitched all year and it looks like they've been had just enough time to build them up to Handle some of the workload and then there's always that unknown of how they're gonna use their roster and They use the opener and then being the Yankees use the opener. It's official It's part of baseball now and that that that challenge that they have there's so many guys They can go to instant in creative ways is autovino gonna face lefties is bright Where's Britain fit in? You know how many innings can Chapman throw and those are high elite arms that he can That he can you're like Conley throws up all hard. They have velocity. They have weapons. They They've shown, you know, boonies done a really good job of breaking into them the mold of Using your pitchers creatively, so You know, I don't know what the balance of their roster is It's one of the the weird parts of the way that LDS and the LCS they collide and all of a sudden we're gonna find out tomorrow Three hours notice. It feels like what the rosters are but they have they have a lot of weapons And they've gotten healthy and depending on how they use their rotation will impact How they use their bullpen and so, you know coming off the race series. We're about ready for everything There's there's nothing gonna surprise us after playing the race One more here Right here This is a matchup that kind of seemed inevitable all season But what is the feeling now that things have kind of mapped out the way everyone thought they would and you're on the eve of it Yeah, no, I mean I think I think both teams got here and they earned their way here Maybe not as easily as people want to think, you know, I think both teams had injuries and both teams Played well in the in the face of expectations and that's it's just not a simple plug-in place He's in 162 games will expose you to a lot of different a lot of different challenges So we're excited that we're here the fact that they're here congratulations to them I think this is a matchup that a lot of people around baseball expected But how we got here was maybe a little bit different. I don't think it was as It's not as simple as the both teams deserve credit for Winning as many games as we did and and and doing it with a lot of different names and a lot of different configurations of the roster And now we're here seven game series. There's gonna be a lot of emotion involved There's gonna be certain. This is a rivalry that's that's been created over the last few years and Everybody will we'll we'll think back to the 2017 epic seven game series and expect this to top it. I hope it does and I hope it's the same result I like celebrating at the end of that one


بالتربية التعبدية فإنك تقوم بإعادةهم ويقوم بإعادةهم ويقوم بإعادةهم هناك تتحدث عن إبادات التي يكون سنن ونوافل تتحدث عن تقوم بإعادةهم فهذا الشخص الذي كان يتحدث عن الأمر هناك تتعب مع كثيرا على تقوم بإعادةهم وعباداتهم على ما؟ يوجد تقوم بإعادةهم هذا يهم جدا وماذا تفعل هذا؟ لأنه يريد أن تقوم بإعادة المستوى يريد أن تقوم بإعادة المستوى ومعادة المستوى لن يكفي أن تتعب with إعادة أنهم أفعل الم some obligatory things this is important as well that your family is coming with voluntary things that you're also trying to make sure that they do that as well and you're urging them and you're pushing them forward that direction The reason is because, brothers and sisters that the voluntary act is shield before the abandoning of the obligatory act إذا كانت أعصابهم يفعلون نوافل و سنن هل ستتركوا واجباته؟ هل ستتركوا ذهور عصر مغرب عشاء فجأ؟ أولاً يجب أن يتركوا بيامولين أولاً يجب أن يتركوا سنن ورواة أولاً يجب أن يتركوا أولاً تصميم إذا كانت تستعدين في تصميم يجب أن تأجدونهم لتصميم لذا لا تستطيع أن تتركوا بيامولين بيامولين لذلك يجب أن تتحدثونهم عن شيء that is obligatory لأن التصميم يجب always going to be about what قليلاً لم أردت أن أردتك أن تصميم the voluntary act و إذا كنت ترى at the Prophet ﷺ he used to do this with his family عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said كان رصور الله the message of Allah was إذا دخل العشرة if the last ten days of Ramadan would enter أحياً ليلة he would give life to those nights in other words he would revive those nights و أي قضاء أهله and he would wake up his family he would wake up his wife he would wake up his family family عليه الصلاة والسلام و جدًا and the Prophet ﷺ would work very hard و شدًا بإزراء and the Prophet ﷺ would tie his waist meaning he would abandon his wives he would have no intimate relation with them he would go for اعتكاف he would seclude himself in the Masjid but he would wake up his family and he would tell them that they need to wake up and benefit from this opportunity so he would teach them these voluntary acts and he would push them towards عليه الصلاة والسلام أمو السلام رضي الله تعالى عنها she said أن النبي ﷺ يستيقظ ليلة one night the Prophet woke up فقاله he said سبحان الله exalted is Allah ماذا أنزل الله الليلة من الفترة و as Allah sent down today trials and tribulations he sent down ماذا أنزل من الخزائن and also الله has sent down today خزائن he has sent down treasures so Allah has sent down a fitna and he also sent down what خزائن treasures and good من يُقِذ صواحب الحجرات who is going to wake up my wives he is referring to صواحب الحجرات يميز يعني زواجه النا the Prophet ﷺ is talking about his wives زواجهه he is talking about his wives عليه الصلاة والسلام he was going to wake them up so he realised and he knew عليه الصلاة والسلام how important it was that they woke up at night و لذلك عايشة he sent as Bukhari Muslim narrated كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصلي من الليلة the Prophet used to pray at night فإذا أو ترقال if he done his ويتر he would say he would say to her قومي فأوتري عايشة عايشة stand up wake up and do your witter تقولة ويتر عليه الصلاة والسلام he also said رحم الله رجلاً قام من الليلة بيالله هماسي أبون إيمان who woke up at night فصلاة and he prayed و أي قضى مرأته and he woke up his wife فصلاة she prayed with him فإن أمت نضح في وجهها if she refuses he takes water sprinkles of water he takes it نضح في وجهها he sprinkles those water on her face and then the Prophet said رحم الله مرأة may Allah have mercy upon a woman قامت من الليلة she stood up at night فصلاة she prayed و أي قضى زوجها she woke up her husband فصلاة he prayed فإن أمت if he doesn't choose to pray نضح في وجهه الماء she sprinkles water in his face sprinkles not pours water she sprinkles water on his face or he sprinkles water on her face it's a family they wake each other up for قيام الليل the portion of the night they pray together look at these people what do they attain رحم الله the Prophet said رحم الله رحم الله on that household so whose dua are they going to receive dua of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but imagine you have a family who the husband and the wife the whole night they spending what sleeping or some of them even worse they gossiping talking backbiting speaking about other people's عباد other people's honors and we go to speak about that what kind of tarbiyah is that man given to his family what kind of tarbiyah is a man given to his family if your wife sees you and you meant to be the practicing one in the family but all night you are in the position that you are in as it's sleeping you haven't moved from this place أبي وائلين he said one early morning we went to عبدالله المسروط أبي وائلين he said one early morning we went to عبدالله المسروط after we prayed our fragile prayer فسلمنا بالبابي we knocked on the door we stayed in front of the door and then permission was given to us to come in فما كثنا we stayed at the door a little bit فخرجت جارية the slave girl came out فقالش he said ألا تدخلون are you not going to enter you've been given permission why don't you enter فدخلنا we entered فإذا هو جاليسون عبدالله المسروط was sitting down يوسبحوا he was doing سبحان الله سبحان الله سبحان الله فقاله he said to us ما مناعكم أن تدخلوا what is it that stopped you from entering into the house what was stopping you from coming in وقد أذينا لكم permission was given to you فقلنا we said to him لا إلا أننا إكساب ظنننا أن بعض أهل البيت اللي نائمون we only thought maybe some of the family members are sleeping قال عبدالله ابن المسعود and said ظنان توم you thought بقى لبن عبد أم عبدن you thought about the family of عبدالله ابن المسعود غفلة هيلس family members you thought عبدالله ابن المسعود family members are people who are هيلس ثم أقبل يوسبح then he went back to his تسبيح حتى ظن أن الشمس قد يطلعت until he started to think that the sun rose so he said to the جارية فقال يا جارية أنظري هل يطلعت he goes the slave goal check is the sun out so the sun rise so she went and she looked she came back and she said to him no he hasn't risen and he went back to his تسبيح and then he went to go check as the sun risen she went and she looked and it has risen and then he said الحمد لله الذي praises to Allah سبحانه وتعالى who has woke us up and brought us to life and he didn't destroy us based on our sins and he remember now we commented on this and he said وفي هذا الحديث in this حديث is مراعات الرجل that a man observes لأهلي بيته his family وراعيتي and knows he has leadership over في أموري دينه in their religious matters عبدالعبليمس برود is saying my family are not a heedless family ونه يعرفه he knows his family he what he knows his family he knows them and he's the one who wakes them up and he's the one who observes their situation رضي الله تعالى عنه the fourth point of how to protect your family from the hellfire is to nurture them أفن الأخلاق الحميدة good etiquettes good manners from them being shyness and being chast you nurture your family upon this مجاهد الرحمه الله when did he say وصيكم he say I advise you myself and all of you and your families بتقوى الله the piety of Allah and I advise those who have leadership over those who they have leadership over to discipline them discipline them here means نرجع them upon what الأخلاق الحميدة that you nurture them upon good manners and good etiquettes this is a job of the an individual when it comes to his household your brothers your sisters you teach them good manners and good أخلاق you work on this كصدق like being truthful الأمانة and the person's trustworthy the person has is a diligent person تأني don't hasten to things just calm wait, think about it first he teaches his family members التواضح بيحمل الحياة بيشاي and he also teaches them how to deal with adults the neighbors the family members the friends all of this he observes the man should observe his wife's statements the things that she says he observes her كلمات he observes يراقب الإسان he observes the things that she says the speeches that come out of her mouth حتى لا تقع في الغيبة والنبيبة so she doesn't fall into backbiting and slundering and causing loved ones to hate one another she doesn't come with tail bearing and backbiting you're nurturing your family upon this لذلك it is sad that you see a person who's a student of knowledge or who's meant to be a student of knowledge sitting down with his wife and gossiping about other people backbiting other individuals talking about other people's عراق والهز this person forget him saying this to your family what kind of طربية and what kind of cultivation are you giving your family members your children are looking at you the mother is learning from you she's learning this from you so a man should not teach his family this at all he shouldn't speak to his family about anyone a man should not speak to his wives and his children about other people leave it off don't talk to them about other people's honors don't talk to them about what other people are good and bad at that's something you don't bring to your house you don't talk about these issues and people who do do that later can't stop their family from going into more detailed gossip and go into more tail bearing because you said that you said the mark you've allowed this to come into your house so it is something to be embarrassed about when you do do that and then what happens your wife goes to another woman and then tells what you told her والله this is something to be embarrassed about and this is something that is disgusting especially when the person is meant to be a wife while you were in student of knowledge stay away from backbiting and Namima tell parents your family should have nothing to do your family should have nothing to do with other people's problems who gave you responsibility over it who made you deal with these issues the plateless environment that you make for you in the house brothers is an environment where it's صالح it's righteous خير عبادة knowledge is taught you also separate your family from اختلاع مغيرهنة free mixing if you're the first one to free mix and they sit with women alone in a room and lock yourself in there then when your wife goes and she locks herself in a room with the men who are you blaming you're teaching this أخلاق and this manners and these issues also the man should stop from the way that you need to teach your family is that you don't allow people who are evil to come into the house sometimes you might be building your family members and nurturing them and teaching them the important etiquettes that they need but guess what somebody who إِنَّا لِلَّهُ وَإِنَّا لَا رَجِعُونَ who has open tongue vulgar speech will come in and would change everything you were speaking about and as you all know the poet said وَمَتَا يَبْلُغُ الْبُنْيَالُ تَمَعَمَهُ إِلَا كُلْتَ تَبْنِيهِ وَغَيْرُكَ يَهْدِمُونَ when is a building going to become complete if you're building it you're working on it you're putting so much effort in it and right at the bottom somebody's just taking the bricks out somebody's taking the bricks out and that's what happens when you bring people who are not righteous into the household they play their role in destroying everything that's what they do you listen on women coming to your house too much because the women تَكْثُرُ فِيهَا مَعَصِ الْلِسَانَ without a doubt women are excessive in speech إلا مَرْرَحِمَ رَبِّي except those والله have mercy upon the majority of women if they sit together they have to talk they have to gossip so you restrict that and you cut down on that whether it be your mother you tell her mom to cut down on these women that are coming to the house and she's visiting and they're visiting her and they're seeing too much you try to cut down on that and we're going to speak about when you do try to cut down on those things you need to remember what what is it that you need to remember you need to remember you have to play that role now you can't just leave that empty vacuum you can't just leave it like that and no one's going to take her time the mother wants to talk so you place things for her the same is with the father he's maybe talking to men who are talking to him about things that I haven't noticed they are still a little bit Islam and your father is growing old now has grown old all he awaits for is death you don't want him to spend the rest of his whatever is left from his life spending it in gossiping and talking and whatnot and even speaking about things that are nonsense so what do you do you dismiss these individuals that are around him and get away because brothers you can't bring about good while there's evil there if there's people who are blowing into the family there's no benefit you giving lectures and duroos and these individuals need to be first of all either reduced or feel fully eliminated from coming to the house it's important because there's always a person that the parents generally listen to صح and that person will just say one thing and get your family to do everything so you try to get rid of these people who are doing this also from the important etiquette that a man should bring to the attention of his family or the woman should bring to her family is that the importance of time this is a concept that you need to teach أنه يتمام بن محافظة على وقتهمنا you need to teach your wife to value time the wife needs to teach her husband and speak to him about valuing his time if she feels he's always on social media he's always playing around he's always out and about in restaurants if she sees that from him she needs to talk to him about أنه يتمام بن محافظة على وقتهم giving importance to time this is a concept that you have to teach because a lot of the things that happen the basis for it is that either the parents or the children they don't value time it's not value of time so the person believes that they are killing time but really time is killing you time is what? it's killing you you are just time that came together and as time goes on you're going to die you find that due to not honoring time and wasting time you see that some women they spend so much time on the phone chatting because they don't see the value of time they're talking on the phone and they're speaking on it for so long sometimes you even hear them say oh it's so hot let me just put the phone down because of the fact how long they've been speaking on it and if you listen to it sometimes what they are talking about والله you find there's no فائدة in it there was no benefit in it there's nothing that they mention إذن فعل داعية اي داعي اي طالب علم a person is practicing he has to guide his family to what لقيمة الوقت the importance of time and the value of time and what time actually means also from the good etiquette is that a man nurtures his family in how to speak to a foreigner you have sisters you have wives your mother you need to teach her you need to teach them كيفية محادثة الرجال العجال how should they talk to men how should they deal with men a lot of these women and these girls when you look at them their parents have never spoken to them about these issues so a lot of them are shy but when they come in contact with a man the way that they speak is not good she's a shy girl she's quiet to a level but then when she does talk she does another way to carry herself what she should say and when she should draw the line and leave she hasn't been taught this okay nobody's ever spoken to her about it nobody's brought it to her attention your sister your daughter your mother so what you teach your family members is how to speak to the opposite gender you teach them this and the manners that they should that they should speak and laughing and joking with the opposite gender freely like that something you should tell your family to cut down on them leave this and if they speak to them that they're speaking to them based on the necessity and what is needed and not more than that and beyond that this is the etiquettes that you're nurturing your family upon also when your wives or your daughters and also the opposite is the truth if a wife sees her husband is speaking free she needs to speak to him about this issue of the opposite gender and how he is in that regard and he's dealing in that particular matter the wife should what? she speak to her husband about it and if she feels he doesn't know it then she should write for him and educate him with practical steps that he needs to take and the master in pertaining to that this is something that everybody should play in their household also the person should observe the way that your family members leave the house whether it be your brothers or whether it be your sisters or whether it be your mother or your father it doesn't matter observing your family members how they leave the house and when they leave the house you observe that especially women when they go to weddings you observe that situation because that type of place it is rare it's a little that the evil doesn't take place a lot of the times people become very lax they say in that regard they become very negligent to be honest and they take the matter very lightly and so sometimes some women actually believe on the wedding day that you're allowed to leave your house with your what? the way that the way that you be beautified no you have to cover yourself from the destination and from your departure you leave it from your house and you dress like this when you leave your house you have to cover yourself you have to what? you have to cover yourself you also have to remember that using perfume is not allowed so if you go there and you use perfume and then you take an Uber or you take whatever you do all of this has to be something that the husband or the father observes when he comes to his daughters or his parents his mother his wife his sisters these are things that he has to observe he looks at his sister's hijab he educates her and he talks to her about this he takes time out to make her know what the hijab is or what is it not what does it actually mean what is it that Allah wants the women to look like the same with your brothers you teach them about the libasu the clothing of the man what is it that he needs to wear what is it that he can't wear how should he not dress how long and the length of his garment how long should it be the man takes time out the wife takes time out for her husband to tell him these things these are things that we all have to observe in our households we all have to observe in our households and what we have to remember is that the Prophet ﷺ was like that when he came to his family he would observe the things that they would do he would observe ﷺ the implementation of these issues عايشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said the fact that the Prophet would be jealous if his family went against Allah's prohibitions he would be jealous if his wife would go out and do something the Prophet would be very jealous عايشة narrated رضي الله تعالى عنها and then the Prophet ﷺ the Prophet ﷺ entered on to عايشة وعندها رجل ايمانوز with عايشة قاعدون ستين قالت فشتدى ذلك عليه this matter became very tough on the Prophet ﷺ he became upset and angry ورأيت الغضبة في وجهه and عايشة سلعيسوه the angle on his face how angry he was فقلت عايسة يا رسول الله إنه أخي من الغضاة oh Prophet of Allah this is my brother from brush cleaning قالت فقالت The Prophet ﷺ he sat عايشة look at your brothers from رضاعة look at them observe them فإنما الرضاعة بل المجاعة فإنما الرضاعة من المجاعة that breastfeeding that makes this person your brother is when it reaches the maga'a the milk has to fill the person it's not a sip from the breastfeeding so look at who you take as a brother it's not just a mere breastfeeding the breastfeeding has an amount has a what has an amount in other words this person has been breastfed with you but it's not what it's not the amount it's not the correct amount ردانكة and Imam and Naui and others they mentioned he was saying to her قبل أن تدخلنا رجلا before you enter onto a or you bring a man into the house okay and you consider him to be from your brothers look at هل وقعة الرضاعة في وقت تحهير did the breastfeeding reach the amount that will affect that will make this person your brother yeah how did it take place still outside meaning he's still not your brother look at that and observe that it's not just a mere breastfeeding so this is very important this is what it's very important this shows us what the message صلى الله عليه وسلم he would be غيرا for his family he wouldn't let his wife to stay with the man and some of us or some people they have in them they have in them عدم الغيرا no غيرا he would take his daughter to a place of dancing and he would drop his daughter after a club he would drop his daughter to a club and he would let her go out with boys he would allow his daughter to live in the university campus and he says you can stay there knowing all of the fitter and the شرق that takes place in that university campus what father would do that who has إيمان in his heart عدم الغيرا there's no غيرا anymore that's a problem point number five to prevent your families from the hellfire is تحليل أهلي من خطة من خطة للمجليمين وطورقهم that you warn your family from the path of the criminals and the wrongdoers you warn your family from them and the path that these people take because you study these individuals and their plots and their plans you need to warn your family it's not enough brothers that you educate and you teach warning has to be done because our message is رسالة what he was about رسولا مباشرينة وموذرينة he gave glad tidings and he warned so you need to warn warn them from what الله says in the Quran وكذلك نفصل الآياتي ولي تستبين سبيل المجرمين وكذلك نفصل الآيات and Allah says like that we explain the verses and then when he said after that وكذلك نفصل الآياتي ولي تستبين سبيل المجرمين so the path of the criminals can become clear the believer should not he should know the path of the criminals what they are upon you need to warn your family about the dangers of those who are plotting against them and what they want to attain for instance when it comes to the women the enemies are approaching the women from two angles okay they're approaching them from two angles the first one is the concept which they're trying to call freedom liberation of women بتحرير المرأة that they're trying to liberate the women and what are they trying to attain from liberating the women خلعوا الحجابي take off your حجاب go outside the house enjoy yourself do what you want and what do they want from this this is what they call this is what they call liberation we call it worshipping your desires it's actually slavery it's actually what هربوا من الرق الذي خلقوا له فبولوا فبولوا بالرق النفسي والشيطاني that they refuse to be slaves of food الله سبحانه وتعالى and who did they become slaves for they are the same as shaytan so what they want you to do is stop being a slave of Allah and be a slave of shaytan and your nefs so that's the first أفراد المساعدة the second approach that they take is they want to destroy the Muslim community they want to destroy the number of Muslims so they call to what is known as تحديد النس they say to the women have a child or two just want to work it to kids that's more than enough get yourself a job so what do they want from this تقلير أفراد الأمة الإسلامية they want to reduce the number of the what they want to reduce the number of Muslims and it becomes less because they realize the message of Islam it is going to what مشارق الأرضي ومغاربها they see that's taking place so what do they want to do they want to make sure that if they can't fully battle with that they can at least what they can fight with that they can fight with the amount of Muslims so these two are taking place تحرير المرأة liberation of women that's the first call that they call to and the second one is تحديد النسري restricting the offspring and the children that you have ولي ذلك today if you sit with many of the Muslims those two that those two illnesses has fallen into them the woman who said to her I want to have a kid or two بيس خلاص قل دي الامر ده the man who said that to you فغلق the woman and the second is تحرير المرأة liberation do you know why they want liberation of the women or as they call it والله is not liberation but what do they want يا إخوة I ask you a question five people sit together four people talk and they say everything there's this one person who doesn't talk he's quiet he's listening isn't everyone going to turn and ask themselves what's this brother why doesn't he talk we're all talking I wanted everybody here to put effort in making sure that he speaks and he says we've all spoken about our lives we're all told that where we live you're the quiet one what are you up to the كفان they brought their women out the women out on the streets doing everything فحشاء المكرات that's what they did right we Muslims chose no no no our women are going to stay at home إن شاء الله تعالى so what do they want to do they want us to bring out their women our women just like they and they see your woman we want to see her so they brought this concept of تحريل وداركة بردس I'll say something to you if you look at this concept of women's liberation movement when it first came out you observe it and you look at it it came out after World War II when the men went to fight okay and the men were busy with fighting for British value صح what happened who was remaining the woman but then government majority a large amount of the men have gone soldiers they're in the army so the women were told okay you have to work now the government requires for you to work so the government saw that the women working it's for the first time they've seen women working so what happened the men came back government realized if the men come back what are they going to work they're going to want the women to say a hope because that's what they were and that the men are going to the men are going to they will want to go out and work so the government thought how could we make both parties work the men and the and the women so what they did was they called out to women's rights men want to oppress you men want to roam you men like in the government doesn't care about the man nor does he care about the woman he just cares about the tax and the money the women they work for less their work ethics are actually better than the men and the money that is given is less are we together so to make them work and to make the men work both the government would do everything because this is something to do with the tax and the government if you look at this government it doesn't tax big companies like Starbucks and Costa and Sainsbury's it doesn't tax them the real money that the government looks at is the workers the tax that it takes from it these companies are what employ the people they are what employ the people so these companies shouldn't be given a hard time they should be actually told come into the country come into the country but it's made easy for them like in what the government has to do is push the people into the working sector and make the overwhelming majority of the people work so the government gets tax this is the money that the government needs it needs it so when you come and you say women stay at home what do you do to the government so they have to call you an extremist they have to make the women give you a hard time but that's the reality of Allah they don't care about their own people واللهي they don't nor do they care about anyone they only care about their system and the government cares about its money هلاص so pay attention to that and سبحان الله me and the group of brothers we sat down we looked at the basic the minimum salary that women take if a husband and a wife both of them go out and work واللهي what is left over for what is being exerted in is nothing والذلك look what the Qufar did to their people what do they do to them they made them work so when they made them work and they've been forced to work and that has become normalized for them the woman is being then she in front of her there's a what there's in front of her the choice of having children or not and she knows if she has one child she has one child the money that she makes the savings everything no she can't do it so you're going to always realize these two are together liberation of women and the issue of having children and when I was driving LBC a woman called in she's like I had to choose between whether me and my partner wanted to have children or whether I pay for my mortgage do you see and now I made my decision and I'm not going to I'm not going to have children I'm going to take care of my mortgage she's going to die she probably may not finish her mortgage mortgage 50 60 years يا اخوة she might die the bank might take that that woman she's what نسيان منسيان no one remembers her whether she existed or not that's how it is they just enslave in the people what liberation have they put them through where's the حرية a woman who's waking up every day running after her mortgage بالله عليكم she can't think she can't have her own children she can't have a life she's running to make a mortgage just to pay and every month when they pay their mortgage they can think about what they're going to eat they have to pay the mortgage fast then they can think about what they want to eat what حرية have you brought these people what freedom have you brought them you're using them you're eating these people's blood so هربوا من الرقل الذي خولي قوله فابولوا برقل نفسي والشيطاني are we together No. 6 حفظ البيوتي من المكرات حفظ البيوتي من المكرات saving your household from the evil this is important about us again we have to observe what comes into the house some of our parents they don't leave the houses of Allah صح they don't leave the houses of Allah but the Khufa already thought of this what do they think of they thought of going to continents without armies يا اخوة no more are the West ever thinking about intervention and deploying troops into countries and means to get to that society and that community and those people by not having to be there they've got social media outlets so they'll bring things to your households your family are in a Muslim country they've never come into contact with any kafir for example but every single thing job by job has been brought to them in that house in a Muslim country never went to the Khufa never seen a kafir but in that place they believe everything they're in contact with the Khufa how did that happen حفظ البيوتي من المكرات saving the households from evil brothers and sisters if you look at the evil that are in the houses today in many of the Muslim people you can categorize it into three you can't take it outside these three number one مكرات which are خاصة evil that are specific برب المنزل it's specific to what the father or the leader of the house the leader of the house he's the one it's a specific type of مكر he's the one who is bringing the مكر himself he's actually he's the one who's doing it like for example smoking drinking and etc he's up to no good so what is happening is that the children are looking at their father and he's bringing evil to the household but in that one of the sad things is that a child comes I remember at the time when I used to teach at the مدرسة I used to teach at the قرآن مدرسة a child will tell you my dad drinks so you would try to give him حسنة و رن say look maybe he's drink no he doesn't drink alcohol maybe no I know it the kids are seven or seven eight years old they know it but the father kicks them out of the room locks the door do you think the kids don't know والله they know they know it so they understand what he's up to six seven years old eight years the kid will tell you that my dad does this my mom does this I will be together when I get some of the stories that were transmitted from the Arab countries was that a son came to مدرسة he came to the teacher and he said to the teacher he said to the teacher my dad does what he does with the maid what mom does with the driver my mom my dad does with the maid what my mother does with the driver and that kid doesn't know what's happening he knows of course he can see what's taking place so the مكر here is specifically brought by who it's specifically brought by the leader and the person in charge of the house is actually bringing the evil he's doing the evil the people in authority you are bringing the evil to the house what are you doing you're bringing evil to the house that's one type of evil that are brought to the houses the second type of evil that is brought to the house is مكرات خاصة من نساء والأطفال this type is specific to the children and the women it's bringing them television different things that are allowing your children to watch cartoons okay you provide them with mobile phones unrestrictedly you allow your children to watch you allow your children to watch cartoons and the cartoons are what brothers and sisters cartoons that involve magic مجيشن so the magic what is he doing and magic is what brothers كفروا بالله العلي العظيم is disbelief of Allah who you know back in the days magic was a witch no long nose nails ugly you just wouldn't like her right but then what they did is they thought they bought harry potter a young boy yeah skin harry yeah and then that's it the kid is reading the philosophy stone the chambers of secret he reads these books he goes through them he watches the movie he watches cartoons that involve magic the cartoon والله is magic like in the magician is fighting with who the magician is fighting with the evil doers he's saving people that's for the way the kid sees it so it's a hero so whose side is he on the kid when he's watching the cartoon or when he's reading the book he's on the side of the magician he's on the side of the magician this is the little kids music is being sung in the back and Allah says to us in the Quran وستفزيز من استطعت منهم بيصوتك وأجلب عليه بيخيلك ورجه وشاركهم في الأموال والأولاد they put music in there and then in that ayah what does shaitan do with his voice because music is his voice it's the shaitan's voice Allah says وشاركهم في الأموال والأولاد he's participating with you in your wealth and your children so the child is memorizing music lyrics are coming to him and etc and this is أمو الخبائة والله is from the sources of evil it's from the sources of evil so this is what's taking place the man provides his family with these issues he what he provides his family with these issues the third time is مقارات المجتمع the third time is المقارات المجتمع المتسلينة إلى بيوتينة the third time is evil that is in the community but it's creeping into your household the evil is not within the house but it's coming from outside within and you're not making for it a strong fortress so the evil comes to the house it comes what it comes through the house for example the people they go out on the streets they come back and they see what they see in the streets they go to مدرسة they go to what they go to مدرسة they go to schools they go to other places so what did they do? they see things with أليكا one of the things I told you is my father took us to مدرسة for one time a period of time he took us to مدرسة yeah ايخو this is 1993-94 early age who's born 94 I love you when born right this time we go to مدرسة we're learning my dad took us it maybe we were there for a month or so then my dad took us out he said the مدرسة destroys my children see the less so he bought a Quran to the house yeah ايخو you work towards bringing things to the house not taking your family members out as much you keep them in within because what's happening outside it's going to destroy you children are learning bad things from mدرسة that's what they're learning from it also what my father used to do is before we used to go to school in the morning before we go to school my dad would sit with us before we went to school he would sit with us he would give us overall advice he would tell us about إيمانيات we go to school when we came back he would be waiting for us or a Quran teacher was at home he would be there one of the two so in the morning before you go he's the one who tells you what it is what it is what is it not because you know your family now you're going to have to go outside to the outside world they're going to see so much things let you be the first person to get to their minds and tell them what it is and what is it what is it not and then in the evening when they come back from school when they come back from school you automatically have a Quran teacher for them waiting for them or you have somebody a teacher that's going to teach them but let's pay attention to this واللهي what happens you've now worked on making sure what takes place on the streets don't come into the house it won't happen what's taking place on the streets will not come into the house look what Allah has said about the Lord Lord's people what were they homosexuals Lord what did he say to Allah he said والله تبارك و تعالى protect me from what و أهلي my family مما يعملون or what these people are doing Allah protect me and my family from what these people are doing don't ever think to yourself that being in a community and your house can be a حب of خير if you're in a community that's destroyed the chances of coming into your house is very high it's what it's very high so what did Allah تبارك و تعالى tell us in advance that نبي والله يلوت how to say ربنا جيني والله protect me و أهلي my family مما يعملون مما يعملون and then what did Allah tell us فنجيناه و أهله أجبعين إلا عجوزا في الغابينين Allah tells us that he protected نبي والله يلوت he protected it and his family all of them except his wife because his wife was what she was كانت عالا ديني قوميها she was upon the religion of her people she was a disbeliever okay she was a what she was a disbeliever one thing you need to remember brothers is that prophets wives can never ever be cannot come with things that go against chastity it's impossible every prophets and every messengers their wives were chast always together never can zina happen from them does that make sense like in kufr it could happen kufr could happen but they were طاهيرات طاهيرات from this angle of what not having a moral act they won't do that prophets, messengers no لك الله كما كما تعاليك سبت دعاءة من نبي الله لوت لك لك دعاءة for your children and your family members and a wife for his دعاءة for her husband الله protects him سبحانه وتعالى ولي ذلك it's sad because a man will push his wife to go out and work this is a reality you make your wife go out and work and your wife goes and she works and she works and she's working in a place where other opposite agendas are there so what's happening your wife is talking to another opposite agenda she's chatting with another person from another agenda and etc and as you're probably not giving her a good you're probably working you're tired yourself so when you both come home what you're what you're tired you can't do much give time because you've been working all day and you haven't had that time together this man he pours her tea he brings it to her to the table خلاص he leaves her and her heart becomes attached to man other than you وها دا وقعات these are not these that don't happen do they happen they happen on a large scale only so the inbox you'll be shocked they happen what was it I was upon the person to do you can keep your wife at home just keep your family at home keep everything out lesson on going outside lesson on going outside stop it reduce it let it be all خير and good in the house majority of the time I'll stop there إن شاء الله إتعالى anything which I've said I was wrong or incorrect إشفامي الشيطان اللي اللي نتمسج I'll free from it سبحانك اللهم والحمدك أشهد ولا إله إلا الله أستغفيره وكواته ولي
