Hello there, and welcome to the wonderful world of plant food. In continuing the discussion of health and nutrition, today's episode is going to look at the basics of plant foods and where they come from. After that, we're going to look at the variety of diets which predominantly focus on eating plants as a dietary staple. What we're about to get into is some of the most essential information out there concerning nutritional health and overall well-being. Yet much of this is still not commonly taught in the world. So just as we discussed the types of meats and dairy products, now we're going to do the same, but with plants. Let's start with some basic plant biology. Generally on a plant there are several main sections. You have the roots, the stem, the leaves, the fruits, the seeds and the flowers. Each section of the plant has a different purpose and generally these are as follows. Roots and leaves are used to draw in energy and nutrients from either the sun or from the earth. The stem is then responsible for moving the newly obtained nutrients to where they need to go. The flowers produce fruits which contain the seeds and the DNA required to create another plant. The cycle of life continues. Now while plants come in all varieties and have many unique self-defense, reproductive and communication mechanisms, in essence, that's it. It's ridiculously simple. But of course, we can't talk about plant biology without at least touching on the relationship between sacred geometry and plants. While the Phi ratio and the Fibonacci sequence can be found within all plants, from the spacing on leaves to the placement of branches, most plants also contain the structure of a torus. Whether it's an apple or the roots and branches of the tree it came from, they both resemble the same to rooidal field that encompasses our planet, solar system and even our galaxy. But getting back to plants, the list of plant-based foods is next to identical to the different parts of plants that we listed just a moment ago, but are often defined slightly differently. Let's take a look and go over some examples of what you might expect in each category. First you have your seeds and nuts. Seeds are foods like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds. Nuts are basically seeds that come in a hard shell, like a Brazil nut, walnut, almonds and pine nuts. Generally, nuts and seeds are very nutrient dense, especially when raw, often carrying a generous amount of calories, fats and complex carbs. They are a great source of proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients. The next category are your grains, which technically are also seeds, either with or without the hulls of fruit layers attached. Grain seeds often include wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley and many others. Grains are most often used to produce bread, pasta, oatmeal, granola or other cereals, tortillas and grits. In today's modern era, grains usually come either unrefined or refined. Unrefined are also called whole grains, which are just as nutrient rich as the nuts and seeds we just looked at. When they are refined, however, this process removes the bran and germ from the grain, giving it a finer texture and improving the grain's preservation qualities. But this process also removes the richest source of nutrients including the proteins, vitamins, healthy fats, digestive fiber and minerals. Many farmers have a practice of enriching their grain, which adds many of the nutrients taken out back into the product, but generally not as healthy for you. This can even sometimes be toxic, such as the example of adding a metallic iron instead of dietary iron to enriched flour, which the body can't actually digest. Generally, if you're going to eat grains, you'd want to keep them whole. And to close out the topic of grains, there is also this controversial thing called gluten, which is found in many cereal grains like wheat, rye, spelt and barley. Gluten is a protein molecule in the grain responsible for giving an elastic texture to the dough. This stuff is particularly harmful to those with celiac disease, but many also find their body reacts poorly to eating it regardless, which is called non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Your body knows what you should and shouldn't be eating, so if something in your diet causes you to feel discomfort afterwards, try eating less of those things and see how you feel. Anything in excess can be unhealthy, so always remember that moderation and fully balanced nutrition are keys to a healthy and happy life. The next category of plant foods are called the roots, which are the bottom half of the plant body and are rich with starches, a predominant carbohydrate that humans use for energy. In this category, you'll find things like potatoes, carrots, beets, cassava, radishes and parsnips. Often a very confusing subcategory in roots are tubers. Tubers are defined as a much thickened underground part of a stem or rhizome, and so this means that things like beets, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and turnips are all technically tubers. Next, we have our fruit category. Most of us are probably pretty familiar here. Fruits come from the flowers of the plant and are often described as the sweet or fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seeds. Apples, oranges, grapes, pineapple, banana, kiwi and pears. So less commonly thought of as fruits, but still are, include squash, avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, and many others. We also have a category called legumes, which encompass anything that has a seed pod, such as beans and peas. Most commonly here you might find lentils, peas, peanuts, and all kinds of beans like black beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans. And of course, last but certainly not least, we have the vegetable category, which basically covers everything else. You see, the definition of vegetable is actually all of the other plant parts, including some of the other categories, such as roots, leaves, and stems. Thus, by our modern definition of today, vegetables can encompass anything that is not a fruit. Like the leaves, such as spinach, kale, and lettuce, the roots like beets and potatoes, and the stems like celery and broccoli. Virtually all of these dark green vegetables contain tons of fiber and are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. Now moving on to plant-based diets, there are many different types of plant based diets out there, and they vary depending on if they include any type of animal product. A fully plant based diet is called vegan, which is a diet that consists of vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, and seeds, omitting any and all animal products. You also have raw veganism, which is the practice of eating no animal products and also where the food is never cooked, though sometimes dehydrated or warmed at a very low temperature to ensure that the phytonutrients are not broken down by the heat within the plants. Veganism has also become a social movement onto itself, where many are becoming vegans as a personal and social voice against animal cruelty in the world, and this also includes not wearing clothes or buying products that used animals to create it. Vegans often get labeled as being extremists and get a poor reputation as a result of the actions of a few passionate activists. However, this does not discredit the nutritional fact of the diet itself. The next category begins to move away from a diet with no animal products whatsoever, and is called vegetarian. This includes all of the plant-based foods that we described, but also allows the consumption of eggs and dairy with no meat products. Vegetarianism is also divided into three categories, ovo-lacto-vegetarianism, which is the model that we just described, then ovo-vegetarianism, which includes eggs but no dairy, and lacto-vegetarianism, which includes dairy but no eggs. Continuing on, we have semi-vegetarianism, which is mostly vegetarian or vegan, but with the occasional or specific inclusion of an animal meat. One example of this is called pescatarian, which defines itself as a person who does not eat mammal flesh, but still eats fish and other forms of aquatic life. While we're talking about diets, the question comes up. Can a diet of exclusively plants provide all of the nutrition required for healthy human function? The answer is absolutely yes. All of your vitamins and minerals, your proteins, your carbohydrates, everything can be obtained through plants alone. In fact, more and more research is coming out proving that you can be healthier and function more efficiently when consuming a diet free of animal products, and even more so when it's predominantly raw, which we'll cover in greater detail soon. Now, that's pretty much it for this episode. But in closing, we'd like to wrap it up by talking about diets and food in general for a moment. From our experiences in life, we've found that all of us can become very attached to various things in this world, which mean a lot to us. For some, it's our faith. For others, our favorite sports team, TV show or video game. And for a great many of us, it's our food. We know that talking about food and diets, and especially suggesting diets, or at least suggesting to make changes, can often cause an internal uproar. But we also know the importance of standing up for the topics that matter is critically important to the world right now. Further, we'd like to note that all of the different definitions we just covered, especially regarding the classifications of diets, are really all just boxes that we've collectively used to describe and define different ways of life and belief systems pertaining to the foods that we eat on a regular basis. You might remember way back when we covered the boxes of understanding from episode 12. We'd like to reiterate that at the end of the day, you are the one in the driver's seat of your life. You get to make your own decisions. All we want to do is provide the scientific and spiritual information on what different types of diets are generally more conducive to a long, healthy and happy life. Your food and the nutrients therein is the fuel for your body. Are you filling up on the highest grade of nutrition you can? Or are you eating just based on what looks good or what you've grown accustomed to? So as we continue to explore what our bodies really need for optimal nutrition, we'll be going deeper into the discussion of raw diets and what can really happen to our food after we cook it. So thank you so much for watching and we'll see you again soon.

to us. Our second speaker today is Georgie Engelbrecht from the EU International Monitoring Team in Mindanao. Currently in Mindanao still, yes. Yes. Okay. And his talk today is entitled Permutations of Terror, Cycles of Insurgency in the Southern Philippines. That's welcome, Georgie. Great. Good afternoon and thanks very much for having me here. Let me maybe before I start with the actual presentation just to bounce back to what Professor Abinales has mentioned in the morning that basically when we work in Mindanao, when we work on Mindanao, it's a gray zone, it's a gray area, but it's also full of contradictions, I guess. And the best example could be just the end of the presentation, what we heard about the BOL as a bulwark against violent extremism. I just checked out something my Filipino friends were sharing on Facebook and the headline on CNN is ISIS in the Philippines, former Abu Sayyaf militant warrants of worse to come. Now that's not a new statement because regularly we hear about it's only getting worse. So by that reckoning, we must already enter the stage of apocalypses, but here we are and we're not there yet. But the discourse just keeps on being repeated and I guess there are many indicators, things go on well, but we also have some early warning signs, so to speak. The two photos were taken respectively in Lanaudel Sur. On the left, it's from a municipality called Malabang in Lanaudel Sur. We heard about it also in the morning. And on the right was a graffiti from Marawi City actually before the siege. And also in terms of contradictions, I would just gladly like to share the story with you about a young man who went by the name of talk boy Magid. That fellow was basically one of the founders of the Pan-IS affiliated groups in Mindanao. He was responsible for the logistics and the coordination of things which led to the Marawi siege and was considered by many circles as basically one of the most evil guys in town or in the country. But on the other hand, there's also pretty much another side of him. The first time I heard about him actually was in 2014 or even 2015 in the context of a town hall fiesta in a Filipino town. So apparently what happened was that there were two moral teenagers who surprisingly got drunk and started to beat up another fellow who used to be a Christian. They took his watch and basically really roughened him up quite a bit. And apparently talk boy was very sad about this because he told them this is not how you behave actually. So he disciplined them by sending them for 10 days up to a mountain in some sort of improvised prison and hoped that maybe there will be better human beings even for people who are different than them. So most people describe that individual as a very charming fellow and yeah, he later was killed in a raid. But interestingly there's another story which says that the factor which led to his demise was something like a romantic miscalculation because he made a wrong move with the wrong woman and that upset some people and led to the police finding out about his hideout. So basically it's interesting to see that even a jihadist or a terrorist like him, there are also many points of view how to look at it. And that's basically also more or less about my presentation. Maybe you heard about it that exactly one week ago there was an incident on the island of Sulu when an explosion occurred close to military detachment. Initially the feedback was it was just a regular encounter between God knows ASG or maybe even the MNLF and the military. Turns out it's still more complicated because soon enough ISIS claimed that basically this attack was perpetrated by one of their affiliated groups and site website also published it. And the interesting part here is that apparently at least one of the perpetrators, because there were two, was a local meaning a Filipino, a Tausuk. If that is correct and so far the authorities say it is, it would be the first case of a Filipino suicide bomber in the country because the last attacks which we had in January in the Church of Holo were arguably done by Malaysians or Indonesians, foreigners at least. And the same thing occurred even last year in another town. So again there's the question what does it mean? Is this a game changer or is it actually something like we can even track down from history because maybe you're also familiar with the Joramentados, the quote unquote suicide warriors or Parang Sabil in Malay dialect who fought the Spanish and the Americans through basically running amok in a very organized way and hitting the military really hard. So back to the question of we had now the Marawi siege and after that everybody was basically panicking what will happen? Will ISIS now really come to Mindanao and make things worse than they already are? And I think one factor was that the mushrooming of programs with respect to preventing violent extremism and countering it was really, I mean, prevalent on the island. However, essentially not much has changed. On the contrary, some people argue that basically all these groups lost out in Marawi and they couldn't re-stage and reform their strength, they could not fight anymore, they're significantly weakened. But again, blasts like the one last week and even before and the ongoing armed conflict also contribute to this cognitive dissonance of what's actually going on. So I asked myself the question, well everybody talks about ISIS or Daesh but if we break it down to the local context of Mindanao, can we actually find something out about these groups? Why did some pledge allegiance? What did it mean and why did they occur in some part of Mindanao and why not in others? So basically I looked at that and it's pretty much a working draft which I conducted more or less in my spare time so it's far from perfect but just some food for thought probably for all of us. So I'll just be raising some preliminary introductory things then focus entirely on some case studies and just mention briefly something about the implications. So of course I think most of you are familiar with the impact of the Marawi siege. We have the official statistics which by no means have to be correct especially when it comes to the death toll of civilians. I myself was in Marawi in the morning of the fateful day but left before noontime through coincidence or fate I don't know but what unfolded I think has been reported worldwide and it used to be basically a wake-up call from many especially also the military and other groups. The many first ones with related to the siege the first time of massive urban combat and some point out it was the first time for ISIS to capture area and hold it but if you deconstruct the sentence actually it's far from correct because what does it mean hold it essentially the Maltese and their allies were holding out against the military they did not introduce Sharia per se or govern that city because from day one it used to be basically a war no time of governance at all so that maybe can also be looked into like that and of course the fact that the city is far from reconstructed rehabilitated but even here again conventional wisdom will tell us now recruiting sprees going on people are trying to get more and more people and things will get really worse but if you look on the ground it is not necessarily pointing towards that direction because the newly designated leader of the Maltese has been killed the recruitment fades out suddenly from the discourse and the assumption is actually not much is happening and also I believe that whenever we or we read about ISIS in the Philippines it raises this impression that there's an evil mastermind somewhere like the emir collected all these groups and organized something but I believe if you look at Bansamo history in general we also see that the resistance against the colonial powers or even the colonial and the post-colonial state was never ever properly centralized so I believe even with respect to these groups we can also make an argument that oftentimes they were disconnected there were of course similarities but essentially a fighter in Lanao has probably also some other agendas then the youngster who is studying at the university in Cotabato city or a fellow who is maybe in Maguindanao or in Davao area and one example which struck me was the case of Mr. D. I mean I just called him like that he basically was a college student member of the BIFF what happened was that he joined the siege for a few days and then returned passing by security without any problems apparently it was just one guy who signed off to fight and when you ask him why did you sign up he said well I'm not so really sure but I wanted to see how it is meaning you don't necessarily hear a lot of ideology there or even the greed factor the fact that he has been paid or we can assume maybe he just wanted to shoot some guns but he could do the same essentially just one hour away from his hometown in the marshlands of Maguindanao but he didn't he went to Marawi he thought he returned and here we are stuck with finding out what it actually meant now to some of the case studies I will basically argue that discourse and also the reality of ISIS or Daesh entering Mindanao came at a certain time and it occurred when the external ideology clicked with the internal post peace agreement fragility now it sounds a bit complicated but basically it's all about the peace agreement in 2014 that was the time when ISIS made also global headlines through for instance Mosul etc and at that time of course many expectations were rising across the Baksimoron just like now with the creation of the BTA and at that time former president Ramos actually said that 100 Filipinos went to Syria to fight that statement was never ever referred to again it was never qualified it was never contradicted it was never withdrawn it was one of those beautiful statements which fly around the Philippines and they sound interesting and then basically no one really knows what's happening and the mayor of Kottabato city the place where I've been living for the last three years also said there are 1000 ISIS right now recruited there which absolutely was not true as well meaning to say that this fragility which existed and where the ISIS affiliated groups spread for me it was basically inherently local and we need to look at exactly how we're conditions on these difficult different areas if you look at this timeline it's a bit improvised here these are basically significant events in the in the peace process between the government and the MILF in the last years if you want to connect the dots you can also enter IS relevant relevant events here as well and then you see some sort of flow here we have Duterte becoming the president in 2016 and just well actually before his presidency the first attacks by ISIS in the neighboring countries of Indonesia and Malaysia and the interesting part between all of those events the red lightnings would indicate actually violence organized armed violence between the government and these various cells or armed groups who have pledged allegiance and obviously the question is what will happen now and how will the prediction be will the BOL be really afford of security and make things better or will it actually be the advent of something worse and basically coming back to the to the to the cracks of local conditions I have identified three which play a role number one ISIS entered areas where we already had armed conflicts and violence it did not occur simply in peaceful situations number two once one of those IS affiliated groups engaged the state more violence automatically came about certain path dependency was also visible what I termed as once a fight always a fight a repetition of the same communities being displaced the same strategies being used by the military and the same ways of destruction occurring in the same municipalities and why certain areas were affected I believe that it also has something to do with the level of contestation between also the groups of the morose in a certain area wherever the MILF let's say controls an area and it's a strong bulwark they can easily control their communities against this external influence accordingly but where there's a space and niches for other groups to exploit where the MILF is an example doesn't have the monopoly of violence or of legitimacy that's where things become complicated and regionally I think this is also what distinguishes Mindanao from let's say southern Thailand in southern Thailand we have many different groups organizationally divided fair enough but ideologically I think they're all on the same page they do not want this ideology to enter because they have their traditional Shafi approach to Islam which seems like an anti-serum to this thing which comes from the outside and I heard from colleagues work that it's basically it ISIS will is was considered by the crisis group for instance as a phantom menace it would not necessarily trickle down there now for every three of the factors and we have an example and basically I will focus the first two briefly on the BFF in Mindanao and the third for the multi-group in Lana of the Sur. Okay so the first one is no IS without small wars the battle for Datu Salibu or forever war in the swamp why swamp because Datu Salibu is basically very marshy and swampy municipality perfect for guerrilla warfare but unfortunately very imperfect for governance it was traditionally based of the MILF but also the Biff the splinter which came about 2010-11 properly into making but the Biff existed basically as a very militant moral armed group no black flags no ideology no extremism whatsoever what happened was that in late 2015 this guerrilla movement initiated some stronger moves and the military retaliated massively so for around two months or three months these areas which are basically not very big it's more or less one town and its outskirts were completely engulfed in warfare airstrikes IEDs bombs whatsoever and during this time the Biff or this group set up actually the links with an commander who later pledged allegiance to the ash and it worked basically through things which we also heard about before through the narrative of being a victim and victimization and clans family relationships marrying into armed group social systems etc and the fact that the government didn't necessarily adjust its use of force contributed to this very precarious situation and the Biff which was reborn out of this battle later even engaged the MILF in a fight for moral legitimacy of the of the moral people just to give you an example on average at the height of the conflict we had 600 to 1600 families displaced and with this campaign ISIS basically started to spread within the province because that town was basically located at the intersection of marshes of rivers and through the flow of people the ideas also spread so from a general guerrilla or anti guerrilla fight it has transformed and morphed into something more deeper now once the war always or the evolution of the military group in boutique what I found sometimes very disturbing or not so much accurate is that people tended to explain Marawi in hindsight as big master plan that everything was planned in advance for me I would disagree with that opinion and say actually it was a very complicated process and well we probably need to dissect that one now that looks very complicated but probably you can just focus on the red parts on top which basically distinguishes the evolution of the military group into three phases the genesis of the formation the battles of boutique and the path to Marawi and for me the mountain IS affiliation was basically developed in the second part basically when this originally clan based locally motivated political clan militia started to engage the government and the government strike back and in other things flawed into equation the mountains developed in a certain direction which then laid the way clear for Marawi. I do believe in the beginning there was definitely an ideological element of that group but on the other hand they also tactically cooperated with drug lords maybe not to the extent as president Duterte would like to point it out but nevertheless it was a very complicated affair so these battles occurred three times in a year every battle was worse and whereas in the beginning there was no talk about foreigners and no talk about ISIS slowly but surely even the imagery ended the whole conflict meaning Christian workers were kidnapped put into orange overalls the imagery of Guantanamo right and basically executed and then at some point what we had was that Isnilon hapillon from the islands landed in Lanell and slowly but surely things pointed towards what should unfold in Marawi just a few months later again the malty started as a clan based militia and I believe that the willingness to raise the stakes in their war was basically a very continuous process the radicalization was not there from the start I think it entered slowly but surely into the game and basically to look at them as agents of the ISIS ideology from the Middle East just because of the education of the Malta brothers abroad or just because they had also connections to former GI Jamiah terrorists doesn't give us the full story because essentially they also cooperated with people who were pretty much not involved in so-called halal activities but rather the opposite of it and the third example would be from a town in Magindanau province Sharif Sidona which is basically one of the most conflict affected towns in Magindanau which is characterized by the fact that it's basically one big failing municipality we have different power levels different power poles we have a formal governance system an informal government system it all clashes into this mashup of no war and no peace until recently hardly any local officials even in the municipality the military regularly conducting operations there the enemies of the military persistently re-revenging or or exerting a counter attack and basically per year if you calculated there could have been six to eight military operations per year with the number of ten displacements so almost let's say once a month you have basically a big part of the community leaving and 60% of the whole municipality was conflict affected since 2012 so this was the town where some of the elements of the beef tried to put up the black flag on the town hall it was completely useless but it was an effort to be symbolic I reckon and well it kind of worked because many recruits came actually from that place and if you live in a state of failing governance continuous war then no wonder that the people come actually from from there and if you look at for instance incidents of vertical conflict from the government against some of these groups you can see that the neighbors of Sharif Sidona actually do well I mean the peace dividends there are evident but in the town itself in the last two years it's again violence is on the rise and unfortunately the answer of the security sector is that well we have more operations which then result in more narratives of being a victim and more recruitment for these groups so if you look at basically the the the armed groups which pledged allegiance I believe most of these conditions had to be fulfilled in order for them really to to be organized locally I think here a very interesting factor is also the Abu Sayyaf because these days many foreign entities look at them as almost an ISIS outfit and I think we can distinguish Abu Sayyaf based on the two islands in the archipelago we have Basilan and we have Sulu the blast last week was perpetrated accordingly by a commander from Sulu Basilan is relatively quiet people even say if we want to go there for research arguably no one would be kidnapped actually because there's a huge buy-in from everybody to keep the peace and this is now being sold and being narrated as well the way how to defeat these groups and I think it has something to do with this local contestation elements because before the mayors the MILF and the ASG the Abu Sayyaf and other strong men had all different interests they all wanted to have a piece of the cake and sometimes they didn't get it so they resorted to protecting the bad guys or turning into bad guys now apparently it has changed for a variety of factors everybody in Basilan seems to be on the same boat and their estimates that there's only maybe 15 real ASG people there now and they're hiding on the mountains and just hoping to get by getting sick from stomach ache and basically that's about it but in Sulu it's different the first two conditions are still the same there's still an armed conflict and the eastern ISIS group which engaged the government but people are still very much divided the politicians the traditional elites maybe Bhaitan and other people everybody tries to rock to find out his own or her own agenda and that results in the fact that the ASG or this group can still thrive and survive potentially be used and also use its constituencies as well they're under pressure but they're still active whereas the ASG in Basilan and of course the Maltese were militarily almost defeated the BIF is still out there and as long as the country continues as long as the local governance is full of challenges I think it will still continue as well now the implications of that I have identified maybe five number one also for research and maybe finding policy responses we still have a lot of lack of data and analysis of recruitment patterns and the social systems and subsystems in Mindanao especially when when decisions to fund certain projects are being made I think it's very crucial to really look into the details and justify your statements with also data for instance we also have the paradox that some poor and misgoverned areas in Mindanao remain completely unaffected by IS and those are areas for instance where the MILF is basically controlling their barangays but it's also hard to control it because the community are so dispersed they cannot easily be coerced even by the MILF but they leave peacefully for the last five six years they're not being touched by the military and I think this is what it means to be normalized as normalization is a hugely popular word in the peace process right now so basically if you live a slowly but surely normalized life you can probably be resisting these these other trends but if your life still consists of waking up to the sounds of mortars that's probably a different story likewise what is actually happening now on the island I think before we heard the name of Kit Collier by by our colleague from Davao he was one of the first crisis group analysts who wrote an excellent reporter would highly recommend for everybody to read it because it's one of the best papers on the subject where he distinguished actually what do we do in Mindanao from the perspective of the government and even entities trying to help it are we looking for terrorists or are we trying to defeat an insurgency or is it like this gray area in between likewise the like I mentioned before we do have similarities between Mindanao and Thailand but we'll serve differences and even Malaysian Indonesia where the discourse about ISIS is also getting more and more relevant I think it's interesting to see how in Mindanao these groups are still more akin to armed groups rather than cells or individual lone wolves in the classical sense and I believe this is basically the legacy of this decades old conflict and as long as the armed groups will thrive this ideology can click so maybe it's not wrong to say that the solution would be to disarm all of them everybody but we all know it's pretty much impossible and lastly I believe if we look basically to the other parts of the world we have other situations of low intensity armed conflict where this ideology can morph into something very local where maybe all this fancy imagery from the Middle East will not apply but rather enter this very peculiar connection with local grievances and I believe the recent rise of IS in Khorasan in the northeast of Afghanistan and also the continuous violence in the Caucasus and even Nigeria is maybe something to to monitor to look into so thank you very much and yeah we can maybe talk about it later


So last week, Ryan Grimm and Katie Halper broke Tara Reed's Me Too story, and she alleges that when she worked for Joe Biden back in the 90s, he sexually assaulted her. Now, we don't necessarily know whether or not these claims are valid if you listen to Tara Reed's story. I mean, you can make that decision on your own. I certainly believe her. But what's interesting is that the media has taken very little interest in this story. In fact, there's almost been a complete blackout aside from a few sources covering this story. The Huffington Post, to their credit, talked about this story. Vox covered this story. And Yahoo News temporarily covered this story as well before eventually moving it over to their sports section. And then the link broke, and now it's just not available. Definitely not weird. Nothing to see here, folks. Now, when it comes to cable news, we've seen basically complete silence. CNN and MSNBC, both extensions of the Democratic Party by and large, haven't talked about this. Surprise, surprise. Now it's interesting because they try to make us believe that they actually cared about the Me Too and Time's Up movements. And that women maybe should be able to come out, share their stories, and not be silenced when men in powerful positions sexually assault and or sexually harass them. But they haven't said a word. Now, when they cover the Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's story, they covered it a lot. There was wall-to-wall coverage, and I think that them covering that a lot was warranted because if you are auditioning for a job in a very powerful position and you're going to be dictating judicial precedent or legal precedent for years to come, then I think that the American people have a right to know at a minimum. So give us the details. Let us at least decide on our own.  But the media isn't doing that. Well, the media isn't too surprising, but what's interesting is the way that Joe Biden's campaign is responding to this, and by and large, they're just trying to pretend like this isn't happening. They're trying to bury their heads in the sand, and the way that they're doing this is just embarrassingly pathetic. So Simone Sanders, for example, Biden's press spokesperson, she had a lot to say about the Christine Blasey Ford testimony. So much so that she tweeted about it almost nonstop. She went on CNN to talk about it, and suddenly she deleted all of her tweets, where she talked about men in power abusing women and how she believed Christine Blasey Ford. So let me share some of what she said, and this is now deleted. Just keep that in mind. She wrote, it's the moralizing to watch the patriarchy in America continue to silence the voices of so many. But the patriarchy's day is coming. We will not go silently into the night. Brett Kavanaugh is not out of the woods yet. His nomination can still be stopped. But regardless of what happens this weekend, if your stance is on the side of justice of truth, we cannot stop fighting. This seems applicable to Joe Biden now. Today, Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee seemingly forgot Dr. Ford's testimony. They seemingly forgot the lack of documents and seemingly forgot that Brett Kavanaugh was interviewing for a job, a promotion that he is not entitled to have. Also applicable to Biden. After her powerful testimony, we heard from Kavanaugh as he sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he oozed with privilege and looked like a man who had never been met with a challenge. He exuded partisan talking points and refused to call for an investigation to clear his name. Hmm, I wonder if Joe Biden is going to call for an investigation and if she'll recommend that. Dr. Ford's courage was powerful. It was infectious and courageous. Prior to her testimony, her courage inspired me to tell my own story of a college rape. Unfortunately, many Senate Republicans just seemed to not care. I mean, these were the people that stand and stood by Trump. And there's more, but we'll stop there because you get the point. She was so moved by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony that she told her own story. And now all of this gone like that. She deleted them, deleted these tweets because all of a sudden, I guess that what she said no longer stands like I'm trying to figure out what's going on here. Like, if you have a stand, nothing should convince you to change that stand, remain principled. I don't care what job it is. I don't care if this will impact your career down the line. If you truly believe in something, then no matter what the consequences are, you should hold true to that belief. But like the coward and sellout that she is, Simone Sanders chose to delete all of these tweets. Why? I mean, it's obvious, right?  Everything that she said about Brett Kavanaugh can be applied to Joe Biden in this instance with Tara Reid. And she knows that. And she doesn't want to jeopardize her opportunity to be the White House press secretary for Joe Biden. She wants a job. She wants a future in politics. So she knows sometimes, you know, you've got to roll over on your principles and bite the bullet all to make sure that people in power don't get hurt by these types of claims. This is exactly why the Me Too movement came to fruition, right? Was it not so that way women felt like they had the right to come out and share these allegations against men who were previously thought to be untouchable, men with wealth in positions of power? Like, what was all the point of that? What was the point of the Me Too movement if some of the loudest cheerleaders of this movement all of a sudden are brushing everything they set aside and making an exception for Joe Biden? What was the point of all of that? It's just, it's sad. It's really sad because think of the message that descends to victims of sexual assault and rape. You know what? Your voice matters unless you come out against someone and your claim is kind of inconvenient for us because we're trying to win an election. It's embarrassing. Now, I want to share this clip from Simone Sanders on CNN. I believe she was still a CNN contributor at this time before she worked for Biden. Listen to what she said about Dr. Christine Bozzi Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. I don't care. It's been 20 years, 50 years. I would come forward because I don't think anyone that has ever done that, whether it was once in their life or 50 times, deserves to sit at the highest... I could, I totally agree with that. But you have no knowledge whether Brett Kavanaugh... It doesn't matter. I believe Christine Ford because no, because when you, to come forward, she has no, there's no enticements for her to come forward and to have her life destroyed, to have folks sit on panels such as these and even others and have the Senate, the leader in the Senate, basically tear down her character and assert that she's a liar. So there's no incentive for her to come forward except to tell the truth. So why doesn't any of what you said about Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Bozzi Ford apply to Joe Biden and Tara Reid? Explain that for me, Simone Sanders. Let's go through what she said.  Apparently you don't believe that anymore. Quote, I believe Christine Ford because to come forward, there's no enticement for her to come forward and to have her life destroyed. There's no incentives for her to come forward except to tell the truth. Are you going to extend that same logic to Tara Reid? I just, these people are such frauds. They will believe passionately in what they believed in until the minute it becomes inconvenient and then they will abandon those beliefs for purposes of political expediency.  Look, hypothetically speaking, in the event this type of accusation was lodged against Bernie Sanders, I have no doubt that the media would cover this nonstop. But as a Bernie Sanders supporter, how would I handle this? Well, first of all, I would expect Bernie Sanders to be responsible and call for an independent investigation, call for the FBI to investigate these claims, hear out the accuser and potentially abandon my support for Bernie Sanders, which I admit would be difficult because I believe in policy, but just based on principle and morality, basic morality, I couldn't support someone even if ideologically they agreed with me if I believed that they did something like that. Now maybe Simone Sanders doesn't believe Tara Reid, maybe she just believes that Joe Biden is innocent. Okay, well then explain your logic, explain your reasoning and tell us your side of the story.  Well, guess what, too late. Once you put it up on the internet, it is there forever. It's there forever. So, I mean, this shouldn't surprise anyone to see that Democrats are complete frauds and they're hypocrites, but you know, just the depths of their hypocrisy and how quickly they're willing to abandon what they claimed to stand for.  I don't know what else to say.

There's likely no right or better at articulating the economic way of thinking and exposing the myths that plague political debate. Then the French economist, Frédéric Bastiat, who was born on this day in 1801. Bastiat is best known for his book, The Law, and two essays, The Candlemaker's Petition, and That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen. Happy birthday, Frédéric Bastiat!


Welcome back to the channel everybody, it's the dog days of summer right now, I was born in this time. This is the second anniversary when I was diagnosed with the tumor also known as Willis, who I am currently trying to get some treatment for actually. OSG is in search of a place in the DFW area that will treat me with some radiation for my tumor instead of going down to Houston. We're in the middle of doing that, just thought I'd hit you with that right off the bat and say welcome back to a fishing video or well we're going to try to go fishing, we'll see how it goes. And I also want to say thanks for all the awesome comments and just good vibes from the AFRA videos. It was a great experience and I definitely want to go back and just want to say South Africa awesome, awesome. There's a lot more to explore there so I'll be back in the future. And there's a lot of other things to update you guys on, I can't think of everything right now but while I'm just sitting here looking at some crankbaits, I apologize, they should be up by this video. I think I said a previous video they'd be up in mid to late July, however we hit a couple of hiccups. So visit shopcrawls.com, link down below, hopefully they are there. If not, just hang on a second. And we also are going to have a limited selection at the Guggen HQ for all y'all there local or there's a lot of you that aren't local that just like come up there and hang out with us. We're going to be in there as well but we're going to have a small selection. A lot of the big box stores, online stores have gotten them and to be honest with you, I don't even have that many right now. So hopefully I get a few in that bunch as well. We're going to go do a little fishing today and just kind of see how little evening bite goes. We're just going to see what happens. I haven't fished in forever. I've been slinging arrows and bullets down in the African savannas so I got to remember how to fish. Yeah, start right up baby. It feels good to go past again. I miss you silver bull. Okay, okay. I'm going to start off just throwing that big bank. Actually not a huge splutter spoon. But to be honest with you, it's the last thing I had tied on. There's a big gizzard shad around. They're kind of floating. I don't think they'll be too shy to hit a big spoon right now. This doesn't work. I'll probably get a plastic out and just drag it very slowly. Oh yeah, I'm going to go down there. Oh, is that a fish already? Come on, fishy. Get a little crank. Get a little gank. Don't know what to think. It's so dang hot. There's a shad on the bottom here, which is interesting. Somebody should be here. Smack this crank bait right on the face. Just got my words yanked by a little bass. Oh man, he hit it right one at the bottom.  That guy smoked it. I had him. I wonder what that is right there. I wonder if that's... He was pulling with it twice. Goodies and gentlemen. Oh, four pound test. Get in here. What just happened there? What did we do? We just tied on a little crappie jig? Went deep on them?  Yes, sir. Let's go. I literally just tied on one of these... This is a hand tied crappie jig. One of you guys made me. He's getting some weird bites on the bass side of things, on the Mondo worm. I'm pretty sure they were bass, but just got me thinking like, there could be some crappie down here on this, on some of this structure. Oh gosh, I just had another one. Crappie, they're always looking up. That's how their eyes are designed. So it's usually better to be farther up than down. Oh, there's a bite. Really soft. Got him. Switched up. Oh no, he got away. Switched up my jig and I got him. See him on the electronics. That's the school up in there. Oh, Mino's getting chased. Crappies might be coming out of here. They're definitely coming out from under the dock now. Oh, there he is.  That one didn't feel that great. Oh man, you can see him. They're definitely chasing right here. Oh gosh. Tiny bluegill. Well, I thought things were going to blast off right there on the crappie game. And they just hit a dead wall. I don't know if it's like the timing if they're going into a different feed mode or whatever. It was like bam bam, a couple of bites and they just kind of shut it down. That's crappie, you know. They get locked on sometimes. Right now I'm just, I'm doing a little cranking. Trying to see if a bass or two wants to bite or something out here. There's a lot of shadows are high in the water column and I've literally seen large mouths come up and just just smash at. There's a lot of fish around here. A lot of different species. I'm doing a little roaming around with a bait. Little Recony. So there are a lot of white bass like roaming at the surface here. They are late summer doozies. They're just keying in on whatever they want to keying on and not wanting to do the dance of an angle. That is very sad. That makes me sad. First of all great clips. Didn't do a good job with the hair there. The lady I normally use she uh, she was absent and that's what I got. Second of all you ever just you get on some fish and you're like get the grease hot I'm about to bring home the juice and then it just drifts off into nothing. That's what happened with those crappie. I think if I had live minnows I would have eased them out from under the dock but they were just kind of coming out a little bit. Taking a peek and just kind of nipping you know. They weren't really munching. I lost one and I did catch a good one but I'm going to let him go. I at least have to give him a good solid sip or anything. What's he going to say? He might be dead but he's not. Okay buddy. Go do what you do. Eat them minners. Okay old boy is not keying here so looks like you're coming home with me. Sorry I had the air raider going and everything. You should have just kicked man. You should have just kicked down. Now you're going to go in the grease. If you think I won't make a sandwich out of that guy you're crazy. That'll be lunch tomorrow. I uh thought I'd just kind of come here you know throw a worm around see if we can get a largy on the line. Hit it on the way down. Yes sir. Thank you for getting old Mondo. What a hook set eh? You need to eat sir. My gosh you've got a legion or something on you. What's going on there? Just trying to get that off for you bud. Yeah there's something going on right here. Got like a parasite. Oh no. That's fishing line. I don't know what the heck was going on there. It's like a hooked situation but hey buddy. Hopefully that wasn't like some sort of weird tag. Right there on the apex of that point the bass was sitting there and actually hit it as it was falling down the tail on this worm just has a uh rippling effect. I would like to think there might be another in there. Just the way that happened so quickly. We'll fire a crank. Okay. I just got bit again. Hard hit. I'm going to put another worm on but I'm also going to put a jig on. Lack in blue from one of you. Thank you very much for sending me these jigs. You guys tend to do that sometimes. I do actually use them. Put ourselves a little fat cracky crowd on there. Cause in the summertime they're kicking hard. Bet you if I sat on this little spot for a while I'll catch a couple. Make sure our drag is ready for that hook set. Worm, jig, crankbait you know, top water. Those are a few of my summertime go-tos. Trying something new here on the electronics game.  That way I can see what's going on side to side. Like real time. I was using that to see up under the dock for crappie. They were just hanging in there. Oh, there's a bite. Come on baby. There it is. Yeah, be a little bigger there. You go. That's what I'm talking about.  Got it. Yes sir. Oh yeah. Little evening bass.  Yeah. Summertime bass.  For a summer bass that's awesome. Got to love it. Okay, this might be the day ender. It's been a hard day. Swim away into the beeps. Good old red bug. You are my summertime fave. I'm in trouble. I usually break it out. I might have to make me one more cast. You just know how it is. But I want to show you guys the Woodworks and Dangle Supply Cave made some big improvements in there. Make a few more casts. Still 88 greys out here. This time for a cold one and the cave. It's just a good way to end the day. Little bit of an issue. Fish caught in the trollmutter. We got it. I lied one more fish on the Mando. Having to creep this thing along on the bottom. Oh, the old summertime drag. Okay, that is it for me. I'm now going in. Made it back to the crib. Last night, y'all. I'm still jet lagged from my trip to Africa. What I got home last night after I ate some delicious Parmesan eggplant Parmesan from OSG. Thank you, honey. Absolutely crashed. Crashed as soon as the fork hit the plate. I know I'm sitting in my dark cave right now, but this is what I wanted to show you. Check this out. Whopam! Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I installed the lights. I got to tell you about these lights because they were one of the easiest things I've ever installed and they were cheap and they're super bright and they're energy efficient. This company on Amazon they're called, I think it's Berina. I'll leave a link down there. I'll leave an affiliate link. Amazon affiliate link. So if you guys do have a garage or something you want to put in there use that link because I get like a little whatever little kickback from Amazon. I think they were 50 bucks for the set of the four footers and they come in a six pack and you link them together. There's five right here. There's one more in this section. Let's go ahead and kick that on. A little barn wood tool bar over here. Whopam! So this is going to be my tool bar where I, I'm going to have all my like wood paints, oils. I'm going to do French cleat shelving in here and do all of my charging stanchions and little tool ring hangout stuff. It's going to be awesome. And I'm starting to get this organized the way I want it and like right now I've got a clean fish so the way I've got this over here is I've got it organized so that when I come in boom! I've got my boning knife, I've got my filet knife and I've got my electric filet knife as well. I've got all my sharpening belts for my sharp system. I've got a bunch of sharpening stuff. Got to keep them filet knife sharp all knife sharp. Ready to go. And I also stopped by the old Nordin tool by the Guggen HQ and got one of these but it is entirely too tall for my table so I actually need like a little stool and I'm in search for like an old school stool or just something I don't know unique stool if you guys know of any unique shop stools out there let me know in the comments. I got to clean this crappie. Let it sit on ice overnight so it should be good. I'm actually going to eat it probably for breakfast or lunch. I wasn't kidding I mean you're not going to throw away a 12 inch crappie. If you do you're crazy. Guess my stool could be used for this right here. Just pump it up. Sit here with you guys. Yeah this is basically all the new additions to the cave here and as far as fishing goes this is normally a time where I start to night fish a little bit but there is no way I could night fish right now. My times are so thrown off I was on the opposite side of the earth for like a week and a half so I'm just trying to catch up on my sleep and get back in the swing of things but glad we were able to catch a few fish. I can't believe that the crappie were not just jumping in the boat there. I thought it was going to turn on but it's always good to catch some green ones too. I don't just want to push Mondo worms on you because I think they're an awesome bait. I created the bait. I think it's a great worm. This time of year like big baits big worms, 10 inch worms I've used those for years in the summertime. Even 12 inch worms sometimes on Texas rigs. It's a fantastic night bait but it's just a great bait for the daytime. Fishing brush piles fishing just trying to get down there a little deep. I usually put like a quarter five sixteenths maybe a half ounce on there. Fish deep timber just drop offs thick brush a lot of places where summertime bass like to go. I'll leave a link down below if you want to just pick up some Mondo worms at shopcarls.com. They're in tons of retail stores now as well but the colors that I would really focus on if you're going to get into worm fishing is like a blue fleck plum color red bug. It's one of my favorites black and blue can be good too if the water is really stained but those purple colors seem to always do the best in the worms. When it comes to worms I'm 80% of the time throwing a purple variation so make sure if you're going to get into worm fishing you've got to get some of those colors right there. I don't know where it is I just love purple. Now I have to get to cleaning this crop of y'all in the new cave. Nice well lit cave. If you've seen any additions that you think I need to add let me know in the comments and I've got to do a little baby setting. Mom's ready for a little mom day and I've got to go watch Amy so I've got to get to that y'all but thank you for tuning in stick tuned, stick tuned stay tuned right here at the like button and I will see you on the


How about before we tear down another casino or another building in this town, which we're gonna continue to do, but what if before we do that, we strongly consider creating a focal point center for entrepreneurial research that is a magnet for all of the innovation. There's other cities that have done this. The one that brings, you know, comes to mind first and foremost was Austin, Texas. When I went to Austin, Texas for a Bunker Labs event right after our group call for Global Entrepreneurship Week, I realized that the same people that run Global Entrepreneurship Week in Texas are the same people that run the Capital Factory, which the Capital Factory is an omnihotel, two towers, one tower is like all the innovation and all that stuff. The other hotels ran like a hotel because there's always people coming there. And I'm like, we have that. And if we can do that here in Las Vegas,
