Good afternoon. My name is not Shayna Faskin. She fell ill. And sorry for you. I get to fill in because it would have been a little bit better to hear her. But I'll do what I can for you. If you throw any produce because you're irritated with me, please throw nutrient-dense produce at me. Yeah, if you're familiar with Weston Price, then you probably understand what I'm talking about. It's going to be a brief overview just about who Weston Price was and what he did. And I'm using the notes that Shayna developed again. So it may be a little choppy. And I apologize for that ahead of time. But I'll do what I can do. There we go. I am basically, I'm here in Columbia. And I am kind of a homestead farmer. I do several different things. But I grow what I can for our family. We raise chickens. And I have lots of other aspirations as far as farming goes. But I have, over the years, I knew Ron. I worked with him on his place. And I kind of pushed to bring Weston Price together with the small farm trade show. Because they go hand in hand. And the little saying of Weston Price is, wise traditions in food, farming, and the healing arts. And obviously, food, nutrition, and farming, you cannot separate them. And if you know anything about Weston Price, he was a dentist and a researcher. And he was in the 1930s when he was about. And he did a 10-year period of research on different people groups where he, let me back up, he noted about the increase in dental decay and the form of dental march, crowded teeth, and degenerative diseases and personality disorders in the Western culture. And he heard a lot of reports from anthropologists about these groups of people that have these perfect teeth and these isolated populations. And his idea was that he wanted to look and see what this was about. And he wanted to find out if it was true and was diet a responsible factor in this. Because of course, it was thought by some people that was just a genetic thing that occurred in people. So he did research in how the diets of these people that had these genetic structures, how they came about. And he was unable to find the healthy group in our civilized cultures and civilized cultures in general. So he had to go to these remote areas. And he traveled to these isolated people groups with these primitive diets and these traditional diets versus these so-called civilized foods. I apologize, I'm pretty much kind of reading it. I'll add in where I can. But since none of these groups studied were completely isolated, because even at that time, no one was perfectly isolated from the rest of the world. And of course, now we've come to even greater place in that area. And they could be examined to a point of contact where they came in with modern civilization and the changes that are associated with the new foods in their culture. I'll show this to you right now. I don't know if this is the proper place. But he wrote this book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, which is kind of a compilation of a study, really compelling read. If you have interest in this stuff, you want to get this book. I've not even been through it all the way. I've been involved for years with Western Price. But just in the very beginning thing, it's mind blowing things that he had discovered about a diet in regard to physical degeneration and health. Some of the problems that we have in our culture on Westernized food is white flour products, sugar. That would be bleach sugar. There are some sugars that are better for you. White plain cane sugar or beet sugar. The things that we all, if we're concerned about health, we tend to avoid polished rice where the germ is removed. And it's just the starch is basically what is left over, jams, canned foods, and vegetable fats, which is very controversial from the Western Price perspective. He studied these groups that were isolated in Switzerland villages, and Gaelic, and Outer Inner Hebrides, and Eskimos, the Inuits of Alaska, the Indians of far north and the West Central Canada, and Western United States and Florida. Anyway, I won't go all through this list for the sake of time because I could probably carry on too long. But you see a very wide variety of people groups that he studied. And if you haven't been over to the booth, there's a real good board there of some of the different pictures of these people groups and some of the genetic characteristics that they have because of the way they live. And he lived among these people for a period of time and examined, and he took pictures of their teeth and took how they didn't have dental carries and how their dental arches were formed. And recorded what they consumed, what they ate. And I sent samples of their foods back to the United States for nutritional analysis. Oh, there's the book. I was just a hair ahead. But this is the book that I was just showing you. I'm glad I didn't know that it was going to be in there. But you want to take a look at that if you have an interest in this topic. It's just amazing. I had a hard time putting it down. I had one day where I had some duty where I just sat. And I read and read and read and read. And I don't have many days like that where I sit because I got a lot of chores. Tooth decay is controlled by nutrition. And most honest people in the dental profession will openly tell you that. I mean, not everyone necessarily will because there are maybe some politics involved. But I know several dentists that will tell you. And I had discussions with my hygienists when I first started to get into this about fluoride and the use of fluoride for prevention of dental carries. And I said, well, if we had a proper diet and proper nutrition, we really wouldn't need to use fluoride. And she agreed that fluoride was kind of the fix for the situation that we are in in the Western. And I would argue personally that it maybe isn't really a fix. So dental health is kind of a picture of the overall physical health. What happens in your dental health is pretty much a marker for what is going on inside physically, but and emotionally. We have so many situations in our culture today where people are being medicated with pills for depression or mental and emotional problems. And I wonder, as I look through all this, how nutrition relates in all those circumstances. I have some friends that are really in bad shape. I mean, they currently hardly function in society. And of course, the answer is something that comes in a bottle. And let's back up and understand what's going on in the biological system that is the body. So in other words, the teeth are this visual indicator, which is what I was just saying. And it is a direct sign. The dental carries, cavities in the teeth for this physical degeneration that is occurring. And there is a complex science to explain it, but I don't know if I'm the guy to go through all of that. But it is the outward sign of how mineral absorption is from our food and how it is metabolizing the body and the chemical reactions for absorption. It causes these problems. It's more or less a mineral and a calcium problem than it is necessarily a sugar problem or some outside thing that's causing that. Now, obviously, all of those play a role. But they had deformities of their feet. It says the pelvis and a tendency toward degenerative diseases, tuberculosis, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. And everyone in the United States should probably sit on the edge of their seat at that point because we're plagued by these things. In my opinion, there's an answer. And it's not necessarily what is being proposed by the medical industry as a whole. I'm grateful for what the medical industry does because I probably wouldn't have two of my children and possibly a wife if it wasn't for the medical, the things that they do through medical science. But there's another approach to this aspect of it. They had difficult childbirth. And you think about immoral deterioration and mental disorders as I was talking about. So this is a chart that basically shows how the teeth were affected by, compared to primitive diet to modernization. You see a drastic difference in percentage of what happened there to their teeth and the caries that were present in their teeth when they came to modern diets. OK, and this slide here is talking about how the calcium was four times and other minerals, at least 10 times the fat soluble vitamins and large increase in water soluble items compared to modern diets. The way we process our foods is eliminating a lot of what we need. That's why I made the comment, if you're going to throw produce, please throw nutrient-dense produce at me. Because even in our agriculture systems, we are struggling to produce food that have the nutrients that it need because of soil depletion. So it's a complex issue, but I do believe that there is hope. I mean, it's going to take a lot of work, a lot of commitment. And these are more charts here of breakdowns of the different minerals and vitamins. And I kind of probably going pretty quickly through that, but exactly during this talk. So fat soluble vitamins are A and D and E and K and K1 and K2. And they're found mostly in the fat in eggs and organs of animals. And vitamin E and K1 are the only ones found in plant fats. One of the overtones of some of the stuff that you're going to hear, especially if you're talking to me at the booth, is the importance of fat. Now, we've had this campaign for many years. Last night, when I came home from the show, I was with my parents and my children because I was taking care of my children so I could be here. My wife works nights on the weekends. And we had PBS on. And we had Julia Child.  And it was a black and white film. I mean, we're trying to date when this thing was recorded in the 50s or when I'm probably going to say something stupid, like when was the television invented? I don't even know. I don't really pay attention to the TV mostly. But it was in black and white. And she was talking about the use of heavy cream in her thing. And she had made the comment, if you're not concerned about your weight. So that was like in the 50s, right?  It was the 60s or something. I won't be offended by it. I don't take myself too seriously about that. But she made the comment about heavy cream being a problem back then. So this campaign has been going on for a long time that fats are bad. And it's absolutely the opposite from my experience, not just what I read, but putting this stuff into practice in my life. So we have efficient dairy products of various species, cow, goat, sheep, camel, muskox. I've never had any camel, dairy products, or muskox. But I have an open mind. We are at the small farm trade show. And there's lots of different stuff going on here. Organs of animals and wild and domestic bird eggs. And I'm a hunter. I like to take wild game. I don't know if the wild game that I have now is what I could have had years ago. No, because we have all of these GMO fields and different things that play into what product we end up with. We have animal life of the sea. Fish, fish organs, fish eggs, shellfish and organs, sea, whale, et cetera. Small animals and insects. A funny story, I kind of kiddin' my children about being able to eat different things and talked about how you could eat grasshoppers. According to the biblical law in the Bible, that those were clean things that you could consume. And my kid jumped right in and popped one in his mouth and ate it. He said, tastes like cod liver oil, dad. Well, cod liver oil we take because we're Western price people and we take fermented cod liver oil. And interesting, the grasshopper eats the plants, which when the cows eat the plants, the levels of mega fatty acids increase. And here the grasshopper tasted like cod liver oil to my son. I thought it was interesting. Well, I just mentioned that because it says small animals and insects. Probably most of us don't consume insects. But if you're my child, you do. And then we would find him hunting them, crawling around in the grass and eating him. I'm like, doesn't seem to be hurting him. So again, this is not your usual nutrition advice. They spent a lot of time promoting, kind of jumping around. But in the fat topic, these designer oils from plant-based things.  Now you could use them fresh if you freshly pressed them and used them and they'd have some benefit. But what is brought to us is chemically treated and heat treated to make it shelf-stable and basically ruined of any value that it has. So animal products were priced. And it's significant that he found no groups that was building and maintaining good bodies exclusively on plant foods. I mean, we've had probably any one of you who've been concerned about nutrition at some point thought about plant-based diets. But these people who were living healthy, robust lives were not eating that kind of diet. Yeah, they may have been eating smaller amounts of meat and larger amounts of fat. But they weren't sustained on a vegetarian, vegan-type diet. It just didn't occur. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes if that's what you're about. Yes, sir. Whether it be in a daily basis, we plead. If he does, I have not read that. And I'll tell you just from experiences this, my opinion, I mean, I'm not a small human being. I mean, we have caloric needs based on our biological system that we are. And mine would be different than a woman who's this tall. But I find that it's nowhere near what we consume as Americans. I mean, we are satiated with all kinds of stuff that we don't really need. And from what I understand from all of this, it has more to do with the fact that the stuff that we consume is void of nutrients. It's not nutrient-dense food that we consume. You did do a study in Africa. OK. Like all hunters, these were the same group of people. But one was all hunters. One was farmers, mostly, and they get mostly food. And the other was kind of a combination. I mean, all hunters have the best body build and nutrition and just general health, as opposed to farmers who are getting most of their nutrition from plant foods. So he did do this comparison around that result. I do know that the Inuit people and the Indians in North America and Canada, their diets were predominantly 85% saturated fat. They ate whale blubber, and they had seal oil. And they had a smaller portions of meat. In my opinion, you're better off if you can buy the right meat from the right farmer to get a good chunk of fat with it. And there are some articles about how fat actually helps healthy teeth here recently. It may have been the last journal, if I remember incorrect, but sometimes my, like today, when I forget my cod liver oil, my gray matter struggles to remember everything the way I could. But it also could be kids. So after the primitive people switched to foods of commerce, they first started noticing this situation, dental carries, and the facial and dental arches, deformities, feet, pelvis. This is kind of repeating itself. My wife is in modern medicine, in labor and delivery, in obstetric nursing. And here I am, the rogue guy that wants to eat the plants that are growing in the lawn and take their goose off the back of the property and use the fat. And anyway, so at times there's a little friction. But my wife grew up in a rural situation where they grew their food, they had their own cow, they had their own hog, they grew their own plants. And I grew up in the city. And if you just look at the formation of my wife's bones in her face and stuff, very different. I mean, I had the luxury food that cheated me of the development that, you know. And if you get really into this and you start looking around, I mean, you can just see the way small little chins, and he talks about this. I don't know if we're going to get to it. I'm going to have to watch my time here. So we struggle sometimes because I'm pretty hardcore about it, or I wouldn't probably be standing here.  You want to eat things that nourish your body that strengthen you to keep your health so you can work. You can think. You can be productive. And she kind of tells that story, you know. And you look at the development of her physical structure versus mine, where we had a little more money. We had a little more luxury. We ate maybe more candy and Doritos and junk. And my development is different. I have a narrower face. And my children, you can see, as I learned, the different development in their bone structure, which is crazy to me. I mean, I don't know if I'm imagining it, my daughter has a narrower head, a smaller face. She was the firstborn. And then my other son and my youngest son has a real blocky, big head, perfect teeth, widest could be, no problem. Anyway, I'm kind of just giving a little bit of a personal experience. It says that the degeneration begins after parents abandon their native food. And complications of pregnancy increase. We have a lot of problems with pregnancies in our modern times of infertility and lots of different other things. I know that because I'm married to a woman that's a nurse that works in those things. So they had, yeah, here we go. They had special diets for young women. And sometimes men, before they even gotten married in pregnant and nursing mothers, they had preconception diets. And they understood something about how, even when those eggs are given to form the offspring, that they had to have a nutrient-dense-based diet to make that the best situation it could. Excuse me, if you've ever read Podger's Cats and you think about what went on there, when those cats came to the place of degeneration after being fed ill nutrition, it took them, I believe it was, four generations to recover from that and regain the genetic strengths that they had and all kinds of disorders that the cats had after they were fed this messed up diet. Oh, boy. So this is just a breakdown of some of the different foods that the people consumed in the different areas. I always thought, as I search, OK, I got to have this to be healthy or I got to have that. But here, I live inland. I mean, were we forsaken if we're inlanders? No, I mean, they had different diet. And yes, they did go to the coast if they were inland at times to get the nutrients needed for these pregnancy diets. It was usually prenatal or nursing moms. And they went pretty good distances to acquire the rich seafoods and the fish eggs and things, the fats that they needed for that. I mean, I don't know. I've never been pregnant. But I don't know what they tell women. Do they tell you to eat a low-fat diet? But I believe they've told pregnant women that. That's completely crazy to tell a pregnant woman to eat a low-fat diet. That's exactly the opposite of what is needed from what is presented in his research that he found. I don't mean to be too sarcastic or cynical, but I have a lot of passion about this. Nutrients found in fish eggs.  And so this is one of the reasons why they traveled to get those things. And I apologize if I'm going kind of fast on this. I don't really know how I could do that effectively otherwise. Inevitable between children, two and a half to four years, allowing their bodies to recover from the draw of that pregnancy and nursing and all that was. That was planned out by some of these people. They had more ideas and more wisdom about stuff than what we're supposedly more educated today. We suppose they have so many more resources. It's interesting we're looking back now, or some of us are, to understand what they did. They allowed the mothers to rebuild nutrition. So how do we apply this to our own lives? We get over our version of Morgan meats and bones. I don't know. I mean, I've actually at one time tried raw venison liver. I don't recommend it, but I tried it.  It was horrible, but I mean, I have eaten raw things and even meats and bones. I mean, broths that you make from bones, phenomenal, phenomenally packed with nutrient density. They used the whole animal, organs, meat, muscles, mat, meat, fat, made bones in the broth. They didn't buy skinless, boneless, prepackaged from a store. I have chickens, and people have said, well, don't pluck the feathers. That's just to waste your time and energy, and it's just annoying, and just skin them. I'm like, no, no, no, I want the skin, and I want the fat that is under the skin, and I want that stuff in my food and in my broth. I don't want to eliminate that. These are things that are valuable stuff for our health. You get your animal products from farms. This is why this is very relevant, I believe, here for today, where the animals eat food appropriate for their species and allow plenty of time and pastures, because we all know, probably, if you're in this room now, that pasture-based animals produce a different product, a healthier product. Some people may argue some different aspects of it, but I'm not really here for that. I mean, one guy might say he feeds X amount of corn to finish out. I don't want to bicker about minute details, but it's a different product in the field versus a feedlot. It has an effect on the animal. So the groups, Price Study, didn't eat factory farm animals. It just wasn't what they eat. They were hunter-gatherer-type people, and they had a cleaner environment back in those times, even now than we are today. So I don't even know if hunting is serving me the way I hope it is, but it is better prior than what's on the shelf in a lot of places. Pastured animals are healthier. They have higher levels of the fat-soluble vitamins, which are hard to acquire otherwise. He analyzed many samples of milk at various times of the year, which we would call pastured butter or spring grass milk and fall grass milk with the higher level of megafat acid in it. That's why I believe inland people weren't forsaken. There was a thing for us. And it came from the systems of things that we had available to us.  This is talking more about the different people that he visited in the Swiss. Dairy was big. Cheese, butter, and milk, as well as sourdough, rye bread, and little meat and green vegetables. So they used what was available to them. They farmed it in an appropriate manner, and they had a robust health from it. I'm a big sourdough rye bread guy. I do that. That's all I eat. I don't buy shelf bread at the store. Every now and then, we might buy from one bakery in town that I trust, because I know they're actually fermenting their dough. But I would never buy any of the other stuff personally. I'd probably just fast for a while. Lots of dangers to those grains that aren't treated appropriately. If you want to talk more about that, you can come by or we can talk later. Excuse me. He tested the levels of vitamins and minerals found in the milk, and it was much higher than commercial milk in the US and Europe. A friend of mine likes to call the milk that we have on the shelf liquid sheet rock. Why is it even allowed to be called milk? Because of the things that they do to deteriorate that product. Cows and the, and I'll say, I understand it's complicated. It's like, how do we get clean water? Yeah, we don't want chlorine, and we don't want fluoride. But it's a complicated issue to bring water to millions of people that's potable, and then the same with food. So even though I'm pretty hardcore, I understand the complexity of making this happen. The cows and the goats ate higher quality hay in the winter and grazed on green grass growing from very fertile soil in the summer. We have a problem with our soil because of our agriculture. It needs to be reworked to produce the foods that we need. But these are some of the pictures of people who, I think this is a comparative photo. If I'm remembering, pardon me for this, I'm going to stumble through this for a second. These are isolated and modern Swiss. So here's a picture of some of the children from this valley, and they had no cavities and very straight teeth with well-formed faces. They were able to play outside barefoot in weather that caused Dr. Price and his wife to wear heavy overcoats. So it even said that being said, you consider the Amish. I mean, they wear shoes only when they have to. And now the modern Amish obviously aren't isolated people groups. So they've been influenced too much by the West, and they're having problems. But still, they have a different lifestyle that makes them more robust than most of us. I like to be able to compare things that you can observe currently along with what he's said now. And this particular photo is isolated modern Swiss. And children in other parts of Switzerland had exposure to modern foods, crowded teeth, narrow faces, and the rampant tooth decay. Pottinger's cat study, if you haven't seen it, it's worth checking out because it's another verification of this idea. So how can I apply this to my own life? You eat whole, unprocessed foods, avoid package, avoid refined foods of all kinds. And it means that you've got to cook. I mean, we spent hours in our kitchen in my family believing that it's worth our time. I spend, I mean, the kids are in bed and my wife is exhausted and I'm at the counter feeding my sourdough, messing with my cultured milk or my water kefir or cultured vegetables. And I go to bed a little later. But I have the strength to do it. Is my health perfect now? I'm not where I'd like to be, but I'm way better than I was 10 years ago from applying these principles. Getting to know your farmer, it's absolute must. I mean, a guy approached me said, how do we know? I said, you got to know your farmer. I mean, I don't know that we can even really rely on stores. I don't want to be too hard on that because I don't want to create any bad feelings between the stores, but what comes in there, even in organics, is questionable, questionable. And a lot of it is the same problem that other food, politics have played a role in that. One guy said, I wish I had a brinks measure that I could go in there and crush up the produce and put it in there. No, thanks. You're charging me that much for that, because it's quote organic, but I think I'll pass because the nutrient density is what's really important. So you want your meat, your eggs, your butter, your milk from pasture to animals and vegetables grown without pesticides and herbicides. And hopefully, the system of growing the vegetables is managed in a biologically dynamic, living, natural system. I'll just say that instead of organic. I don't have anything against organic personally. I'm not saying that, but I think it maybe describes it a little better. It would be like if you sat in any of the Judy's talks, you know, a grass-fed, well, every cat eats grass, but what is grass finished? You know, there's a different product, more pictures here. It's showing the broad and wide arches that they had. I mean, you compare me to that. I have a narrow little face. I grew up with luxury food. It did me wrong. And these are obviously people that were very exposed to Western diet and just a few generations are just, I don't know if you're familiar that every seven years I believe the skeletal system kind of replaces itself. So you either go in a positive direction or a negative one, and there it is. Look at that. I mean, it's beautiful. Well, look at that guy's mouth and his teeth. And he also found that there was a lot of significance to, excuse me, the genetic characteristics that were strongly maintained were a certain people group. Even though they weren't related, siblings, they looked like they were brother and sister because of this strong line of genetics and the nutrition that's, I mean, I don't know if it's this photo, but there's one where they, they look like they're all one family, but they're not. They're just a certain group of people from a certain area in the world. We might argue that there was a small crowd of people that maintained their, just more pictures of the strong, strong features that remain. There you go, I love this photo. Look at that guy and their cheekbones are big and a lot of people argue it's just genetics, but I just don't really believe that. I don't, I don't, I don't think so. So take home message and then if you have some questions we can talk a little bit. Is everyone needs real nutrient, excuse me, nutrient dense foods with plenty of fat soluble vitamins, especially would be parents, pregnant women and children. Real animal fats, saturated fats and cholesterol not necessarily bad for you. Refined, damaged foods not only don't have, excuse me, value for our body, they just place the foods that do and harm the body. One example of that is if you are consuming grains that have these germination inhibitors in them because of how we operate our conventional agriculture, those are anti-nutrients that you're consuming. Sourdough process, the fermentation process breaks down the phytate acid which is a nutrient binder in a sense or it prevents absorption of other nutrients that you eat in your body and leeches them. Oh wow, okay, well who cares about sourdough bread and whether I have the gluten broken down and the phytate, but when you know that the raw cheese that you may have eaten or even regular cheese or butter, there's something in it. I mean, it's not completely void, but when it's tying up those things all of a sudden it's a big problem. It's a cumulative situation, not just this but all the environmental hazards that we have to deal with in our modern time. So it displays the foods that do and it harms the body in numerous ways. I mean, we know what's going on. I mean, we're all alive, we're aware of cancer. I mean, how many diabetic people do you know, even young people? And how many people do you know with heart disease? Quality matters, healthy animals and plants grown in healthy soil have more nutrients. It's just the way it is. It's overwhelming if you're starting from scratch because someone came to me yesterday and said, I have this situation, what do I do? And I'm scratching him, I said, how do I encourage this person, you know?  I kind of broke this thing down and then you have that look, the addiction look. Well, I was talking just earlier with the guy at the thing that, you know, food that avoidive nutrients kind of causes addictive behavior. Your body has to have a certain nutrient intake. So if the food that you eat doesn't have that and all it has is calories, you're putting on weight, that's secreting hormones, I mean, it's complicated and you just get in this vicious cycle. Somewhere you have to break it if you really wanna live healthy and right. It starts on the farm and it comes then to you and how you process it and take care of it. Okay, thank you. Western Price is a non-for-profit organization. It's about teaching and research. It's run by donations and it's run by, we obviously sell things. I apologize, it's dusty in here and my health isn't completely where I want it so I'm struggling a little. It's dedicated to storing nutrient-dense foods in the human diet through education, research and activism. So accurate nutrition information, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture feeding, livestock, community-supportive farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. This is some of the supportive work of Western Price. The core belief is that modern technology should be harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment, the human health and that science and knowledge can validate those traditions. So there's a role for them to come together. How that all occurs has to be through people. I've gone round and round even with doctors who have studied way more than me and I don't know, their IQ may be off the charts compared to mine. I don't know, I don't really care. But brought people to just a place of thought that we've kind of just stumbled into this spot where we are now, some well-intended and some maybe done in an evil manner. I believe that probably lots of things started out well-intended and then money took over without mentioning specific names. But we have to teach people about it. The one individual person is a medical doctor and he had lots of ailments and I said, hey, let's consider this, let's try this. And it kind of, he wasn't clothes-minded to it but he started trying some things and he was very skeptical and a few weeks later something that I suggested was elderberry. And he came back, he goes, I would have thought you were crazy. And probably if his wife wouldn't have been there, he wouldn't have ever gotten it from the store but she kind of nudged him, he goes, I can't tell you the difference in my malady that I have. I mean, phenomenal difference. So we want to, we want to nudge people. We want to encourage people. We want to pass the passion along, if you will.


What's going on everybody welcome to the weekly ranking show where we go through the ATP and WTA ranking for the week And go have a look at the race to Turin and the race to Shenzhen There's not too much to talk about but there have been some changes in the race to Turin So no changes to the top 10 this week on the ATP. We have Novak Djokovic still at number one Rafa Nadal He's at number two Daniel Medvedev at number three very close behind We've got Dominic team at number four Farno Sidze pass. He's at number five Alexander Zverev He's at number six number seven Andre Rublev just behind Zverev with Roger Federer at number eight who is just behind Rublev We have Diego Schwartzman at number nine and Matteo Baratini rounds out the top ten taking a look at the race to Turin the race to the ATP Finals we have the final city pass still on top at number one with Andre Rublev behind him at number two Novak Djokovic at number three Daniel Medvedev having a strong start to 2021 stays at number four Karatev He's at number five Hubert Herkacz the Miami Open champion is at number six Yannick Sinner is at number seven But we have a change to the top eight with Rafa Nadal going from number eight down to number nine and Alexander Zverev Getting up into that top eight yet again after playing last week in Munich And then we have Roberto Batista Ragu who rounds out the top ten having a look at some of the players that have gone up In the rankings this week on the ATP we have Kasparud He's gone up two spots to a career high ranking of number 22 in the world and after winning a title last week The Cilashvili goes up four spots to number 31 having a look at the players that have dropped down on the rankings this week We have Christian Garen. He's gone down three spots to number 25 in the world and Fuchovic has dropped six spots He is down at number 45 taking a look at the WTA rankings now And like I said no change because we're right in the middle of the Madrid open Ash Barty She stays at number one with Naomi Osaka at number two Simone Halop She's number three in the world with Sofia Kenan at number four closely followed by Alina Svetolina at number five We've got Bianca Andrescu. She's at number six with Irina Sabalenka just behind at number seven Serena Williams She's at number eight followed closely by Carolina Pliskeva at number nine and Kiki Bertens rounds out the top ten having a look at the race to Shenzhen No changes yet. We'll probably have some changes this time next week But Ash Barty she's at number one and just behind her Naomi Osaka the Australian Open Champion at number two Muga Ruta who didn't play in Madrid this week stays at number three But that might change with Jennifer Brady at number four Sabalenka She's at number five but doing really well this week in Madrid as is Elise Mertens Who's that number six doing well this week Kudamatova. She's at number seven Alina Svetolina She's at number eight followed closely by Pagula at number nine and Serena Williams rounds out the top ten for the race to the WTA finals So there you have it. They are the rankings for the week We haven't got any big changes really because the men and the women are both playing Madrid this week So we'll have to wait until next week and some of the big changes next week might happen After the winners of Madrid are announced So we've got some big names that dropped early in Madrid last week Especially on the women's side big seeds falling early But some of the names that we're looking at on the race to Shenzhen They are in the mix to make some impact in Madrid this week So let's keep an eye on those ones But let me know down the comments below Who do you think's gonna do well in Madrid this week and who's gonna get into the top ten? Maybe for the ATP finals or WTA finals race So not too much to talk about this week in terms of ranking but Madrid open is on and next week expect some changes


Now this is the book that I've been waiting to read. Hello everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and we are back with another edition of Tactical Book Review. Today's book is The Last Hundred Yards, The NCO's Contribution to Warfare by our good friend John H. Poole. Now this is the third John Poole book that I have read and reviewed on this channel, and this is the one that I've been looking for. This was his first book as far as I know, and this is the one that kind of put him on the map. This book is very inappropriately subtitled. Basically this is his book on maneuver warfare small unit tactics, is really what it is, and he's saying, hey, I pulled all this information from NCO's, and that's how I got it, and I compiled it into this book. So I understand how we got the subtitle, but it's not exactly accurate to what's actually in the book. This book is thick. It took me a couple months to read. I mean, it is like full body, it's like reading a textbook type of deal, and it's, like I said, it's not light. We're talking 350 pages, 356 pages of solid reading. There's quite a lot in here. To be fully upfront with you, there were two chapters of this book that I skipped. Those chapters were about how to call in air support and how to call in artillery fire. Since I don't have resources to call in artillery fire, unfortunately, or air support, unfortunately, I just skipped those chapters because that's not something I'm ever going to be doing. At least anytime soon, remember that when you're talking about, you know, reading books for tactical purposes, I'm reading these books for tactical purposes just as an everyday guy, right? I'm not in the military. I don't have access to all the corporate support structure that the army and military has. So I don't have some naval ship just sitting offshore in the Great Lakes ready to call in fire for me, right? Like that's not a thing. So therefore, because I don't have those resources, not all of this directly is going to apply to you. So what does this book cover? It covers how to attack a larger force, ambush a larger force, extricate from an ambush, deal with it when you get ambushed, you know, basically that, perform short range infiltration, how to open up gaps in enemy lines, urban offense and defense, how to deal with nuclear biological chemical attack, and how to open up gaps in enemy lines in daytime. It also talks about different defense procedures and kind of mobile defense type of deals. It's a super good book. Listen, if you're interested in small unit tactics as an everyday American and you really want to be like an effective force and knowledgeable in that area, I would put this on your must read list. It's going to take you a while, it's thick, it's a monster, but this has to be on your reading list because it's really going to give you a thorough understanding of how as a small unit you can be the most effective. He's very very big as he is in all his books on emphasizing stealth and surprise. Those are really the two watchwords of John Poole is saying effective small unit tactics are built on stealth and surprise. When you don't have stealth and surprise, you're going to have less effective small unit tactics, and the creme de creme of him of small unit tactics is stealth and surprise because then you can do maneuver warfare where you're not necessarily just trying to wipe out the enemy, although hey that's always great, but you're trying to surround them, you're trying to destroy their ability to fight, you're destroying their command and control centers, you're destroying all their stuffs that they have, ammo, vehicles, planes, etc, etc, so they don't have an ability to fight, and you're winning the war through potentially less casualties on both sides by crippling their ability to fight so it's a no contest, and that's what he's really arguing is the best way to fight combat, and in general typically, let's be honest, we don't really do that as Americans. We say we try to do it kind of sort of, but the United States military really doesn't fight like that. Now listen, a lot of the small unit deceptions that he uses in this book involve artillery, mortars, grenades, and other explosives, none of which we really have, right? So there's definitely a grain of salt you gotta take that with and applying it to your context, however, it's still a very helpful book, and it still gives some really good insights and creativities into how you can think through this, and not just having you say, okay, well I read a manual, I read a battle drill, so I know how to do that now. It really goes a step beyond that to get you thinking and processing, and help you understand the larger context of what it is that you're doing. In general, I can't say enough good things about this book. Like I said, I skipped the chapters that didn't think applied to me, and some of the stuff in here doesn't apply to you. This was written for the United States military, it wasn't written for you and me, so again, you're gonna have to transport that to your context a little bit. The other thing I'll say about this book is the original copy was written in 1994, and the last update was 2002. 9-11 happened in 2001, if memory serves. So this book is really pre, you know, global war on terror, and I'd be curious to read an updated version of this book now. Like I'd be curious to have him go back through here and update, sometimes he references equipment or different ways that tanks work or whatever. I'd be curious to have him go back through and update that and read this book now and see what he would say. Just because we've, you know, been at war for, what, the past 20-ish years, give or take, and we've learned some things, we do some things different now than we did when this book was originally written. I still don't think we're doing what he wants us to do according to the Gospel of John Poole. But I think that I'd be really curious to read an updated version having seen the global war on terror now and seen how we've operated now and what lessons he would pull that are positive, what lessons he would say.  There is a lot of value in this book and like I said, if you're at all on the fence about it or if you want to be a knowledgeable combat leader, I would recommend this book to you. It's really hard to pass up in that regard. I am going to include a link in the description below of where I bought this book because everywhere I've ever found this book it's like 70, 75 dollars and that's just ludicrous. I ended up seeing a link for it for 20 dollars. Someone dropped a comment on one of my videos for it and that's why I bought it. So would recommend it for 20 dollars, buy it, read it, and learn its lessons. I hope that's helpful. Do brave deeds and endure.


Well, thanks everybody and as a quick intro game, my name is Eduardo Silva and the co-founder of this company called Calitia and and the CEO and This is a short a presentation About the technology that we have been working on that starts from a open source But also we are in an observability conference, right? So But observability is it's like a training topic. Everybody talks about observability But a few ones are talking about how to make it simple because actually it's really hard, right? It's really good and easy to really fun to observe and extract the insights from the data right but to get there there's a journey and This journey at least from the open source ecosystem We started it like many years ago when we created this project called a flu and D which originally was a solution for monolithic systems To extract logs or move any type of data from point A to point B And as I said earlier this quickly evolved for a more clownative solution That we call it a flu and bit where today we maintain both projects with a huge community and they're very active and This both projects are hosted by the CNCF and in a graduated state That means that our production and production are ready and when you talk about observability There are certain expectations, right and in distributed systems things get complex Do observability or maybe just monitor one system monitoring is not the same as observability There's a certain expectation and things could go run or fine And actually this is a expectation that everybody has right your cluster is working full of dashboards and everything is working Smoothly and actually it's not like that, right? There are many struggles in the middle, but this is where everybody wants to get everybody want to go it's here and When we talk about observability If you think as if you forget your background in IT you forget your background Maybe as a developer or system administrator your final goal as a user that Is doing observability your action is trying to observe Try to gather insights to take better business decisions. That's your final goal The final goal is not do anything else, right? Actually, I just knew few people who really loves to manage Observability tooling right everybody just want to get their right insight right away But when you get into observability you started with this mindset I need to get this information to take these kind of decisions and then You get into the next step. Okay, you decide mentally What kind of a stack platform or SAS cloud service you're going to use and there are many right and the primary goal of these Platforms, it's allowed you to correlate different type of data that come from different sources You can correlate logs. You can correlate metrics and traces and there are many flavors There are many solutions and everyone has pros and cons But your final goal is observability and you decide to take a Bit on one of the solutions available in the market, which is fine, but then you get to the next step which means Okay, if I'm going to Use this platform first I need to take care of how to send the data To this platform so I can do these correlations and then I can observe this data And then you realize that you are in a distributed system with containers with data come from different places and we have hundreds of developers that thinks differently about how things should be done if you think about Standardization at this level today We have some initiatives initiative like open telemetry But if you look at what is running in production for metrics for logs for traces and now we're jumping into six pillars things to get more complex and When you define your strategy how you are going to accomplish this then you decide okay, what would be my tooling for data management and There's no single tool that will do everything for you because what you're going to end it up is using different tools Take the best advantage and integrating all of them Right, and if you think again about this user journey Your goal was to observe data Do the site which platform you're going to use and then you get into the strategy And then you get into agents management when you start having more people involved on the system And it gets more complex, right? You just wanted to observe data and you don't want to manage this kind of agents And in our ecosystem that is started to grow from the open source to the enterprise will learn a lot about this And that was a step for open source is to build these enterprise layers Where companies can rely on and today we are announcing the launch of Calypcia core Calypcia core is one product that allows you to unify and simplify all the observability aspects of your Kubernetes cluster One of the advantage here is that this is not a drop-in replacement for your agents It's not a dropping replacement for your solution in the backend. Actually, it simplifies This problem and how to collect the data how to aggregate it by using open source tools that you're really bet on it Calypcia core comes with a full UI where you can manage all your data pipelines You can configure it and also we have another option to bring your own business logic into the pipeline Which means if you're getting your security locks at some point you're saying I want that all the data that comes that have any kind of credit card transaction numbers Be redacted or just mask it before it hits my destination. Yeah, just go to the UI Perform three four clicks modify the data test it and then you're ready to go Calypcia core for now is free to use You just can get started it deploys inside your own Kubernetes cluster You guys can use home you can use Cube CTL or actually also you can try it out our a new Docker desktop extension So if you have your own Docker desktop running in your laptop and you want to manage logging automatically Just go ahead install the station and you will be ready to go As Calypcia, we are proud supporters of open source in we will be the conference We will have our booth in in kubecon and also we have our presentation as maintainers of fluent bit and we are hiring So if you're interested don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Thank you


And to some entertainment news, a Nigerian artist, Cynthia Morgan, also known as Madrina, has frowned against comment berating Grammy award-winning Dhamini Ogulu, popularly called Bonoboi, whom she described as the biggest artist in Africa, tweeting in respect of Bonoboi's achievement in the music industry. He said he thanked Bonoboi God to Billboard 100 entry. The tweet generated several comments, including that of one, Adikunle Fazi, who said Bonoboi was a video vixen for Cynthia Morgan when his colleagues were dealing with bigwits in the music industry, responding using her handle, Royal Margarina. Cynthia Morgan said Bonoboi has always been a big artist.


I mentioned in covering the best analyses of the election that the white working class was a real issue and to me one of the biggest issues that the Democrats eaten by neoliberalism basically ignored the white working class. And this is clearly a touchy issue in particular if we contrast this with what's becoming called identity politics and there's a lot of interesting analysis being done on this. But I want to dive deeper into what the white working class has to look forward to and this applies I think to people who've lost their jobs as well as people with jobs who've got moderate to reasonable incomes but they kind of see this tsunami coming. And I think I'm trying to describe here the thing they see coming that nobody seems to be working to fix. So they see pretty bleak prospects. They see that their kids are going to do worse than they did and they're accustomed to each generation doing better than the generation before. Jobs are gone and jobs were gone because corporations were highly motivated to outsource through globalization and Wall Street pressure. But also jobs have gone through automation and I have to say I see automation as a flesh eating bacterium. Basically software as soon as it's replicated a task as well as a human does it. When the quality is as good the cost is clearly a lot lower. So why not ship the job over to the piece of software. So people see that but and nobody is particularly designing software to augment rather than replace humans. So the question really is when are you going to be wiped out. Corporations in the meantime are busy eliminating full time employees. They want to have as few people on the payroll who need benefits who are who need an office as is humanly possible. As a result we have a lot of underemployment the juicy jobs are basically gone. We're sitting in the middle of a jobless recovery which is a big topic and sort of beyond the scope of what I can do here probably beyond the scope of what I understand. But it's really easy to blame this on immigrants and figure things out. Now if you look a little deeper there's some really interesting research into what the white working class has been feeling and one of the things they feel for example about government is that the funds never make it back here. We get taxed by government but nothing ever shows up to help us over here. In general I think government support systems are cruel in particularly the United States. In other countries in the northern European social democracies the government support systems really are quite humanistic and there's a whole ideological battle being fought between those systems which is basically what Bernie Sanders was proposing and the American systems which truly are cruel they cut away support. There seems to be the underpinning in America that unless the threat of imminent hunger and death are upon you you won't try really hard to find a job. And what they don't understand is that poverty is a dismal trap that the rags to riches stories apply to some small number who win the lotto do the right thing at the right time but that in general poor people have no access to capital in fact their capital costs a lot. Once they spiral downward they just get trapped and keep spiraling downward. This is really a horrible setup in the U.S. with very few people willing to really pull people up. In fact that has fallen on religious institutions and other third parties nonprofits who are busy trying to help a completely broken system. So government support systems are also very mechanistic antiquated and in many cases not dignified the people who are on support are played down as much much inferior to other people in the popular narrative. So the white working class sees that all these things are broken politics is broken community is broken money is broken. There used to be things called bluechip stocks they used to be places where if you saved some money you could put it somewhere now it just seems we're losing ground everywhere unless you're really big and if you're really big you're going to your money is going to make money but right now there's there's no safe harbor which particular category of asset do you know is actually going to be there when you retire and they're getting priced out of housing so even if they lived somewhere near their job they can't afford that place anymore rents are going up etc and they see that the 2008 global financial crisis almost wiped out a lot of things in fact it may have wiped out their retirement account if it wasn't already expropriated basically by takeover artists in the 1990s or the 2000s then big box stores brought them cheap stuff and in many cases that was nice because now you could actually buy jeans and sneakers for your kids at Christmas but in so doing it killed off the local small businesses and then I think this is more dramatic than we realize then the big box stores closed because as people didn't have jobs in rural towns across the country they couldn't afford to buy things even in the big box stores so traffic went away and the walmarts and others moved other moved elsewhere then as a result we have a lot of ghost towns in the middle of the country this is something that is mirrored in many places around the world most notably maybe Japan where many many villages across Japan have seen all the young people move away there's an increasingly aging population but you'll go into a village and you know 20% of the of the houses will actually be occupied it's a little crazy so what's the answer to all this what do Democrats suggest retrain go to school not now retrain as what exactly most of the schools are not really up to date the degrees and the certifications and other things you can get don't really catch up with what's happening in the world today as they say when you go into school most of the things that are available as majors are not things that will be needed in the economy once you graduate never mind automation right tuition is expensive it is next to health care and in fact above health care the fastest rising expense there and because of the bankruptcy abuse prevention and consumer protection act passed under W it is debt you cannot shake the financial sector made sure that you couldn't bankrupt yourself from school tuition so you can throw Pell grants at this you can really try to move us toward community colleges but I don't think that education works but then automation makes this whole thing almost almost a joke because there is a lag effect mismatch meaning the time it takes you to certify for something to apply to school get accepted go take two years three years four years to get a degree come back into the workforce and get a job is very likely longer than the time it takes to automate some of the tasks of that thing you were about to try to become whether it's an x-ray tech or a dental tech or an auto mechanic or an aircraft make whatever that thing was that you thought you're going to train for it may be gone and it's very hard to figure which one will be there and which one won't so that system is supposed to work and there's sort of nothing else nobody's in the neighborhood trying to help you figure this thing out so that was all describing the situation for the working white class the white working class whether employed or not employed but just a typical situation and hopefully not too stereotypical for people of color it's a bit different because they have all of that except they have a load on top which is there are random stoppings that occasionally result in deaths and well there's been violence against people of color forever in the US we can go back to Jim Crow and well before but now many people are carrying high definition video cameras so we're seeing more of these things and we're seeing just how random and stupid some of these things are so you could be pulled over for a traffic citation and end up dead on the ground with nine bullets in your back there's also the culture of mass incarceration which is the subject of a recent documentary called 13th about the 13th amendment and how the plantation system was replaced by the incarceration system that's still in force and unless we drop the drug the war on drugs and do other sorts of things that'll still keep going then there's many more subtle things like implicit bias when people are interviewed for jobs when people are looked at as they come down the street there's a whole series of biases that kick in all of which add up to fewer opportunities for people of color part of the problem is we haven't dealt with the ghosts of our past and I talked about this at some length in my first video the the precursor video and I talked about the ghosts being things like slavery things like how we treated our first nations things like misogyny and and these things really are still bubbling hot beneath the surface and every time we try to deal with them all hell breaks loose as we can sort of see then women of color have an even worse situation so factor on top of that the misogyny and whatever else and it's it's just not a pretty picture so everything I've just described bleak as these prospects are is before Trump's win before all of this everything I just named was happening before Trump's win now factor in a considerable amount of shame now the 29% of the country seems to have voted for him or something like that and didn't include me but I'm I'm actually ashamed that Donald Trump is going to represent our country to other countries and the kinds of things that he's going to do and has done are now represented as okay for our leadership but also Trump basically in hacking everybody and hijacking everybody he as a campaign strategy he really let loose the hounds of hell he has normalized and made at least visible certainly not appropriate the kinds of actions that were formally seen as purely fringe and that were edited out or were just left on the fringe and these things are now sort of everyday occurrences there are violations of human civil women's rights all sorts of things happening and there may well be more of it so abuse and fear has been normalized and in fact fueled and fanned Godwin's law is that any online discourse off will tend to degrade into mentions of Hitler and the Nazis here it's like like Godwin's law has has become the administration for the country so it's it's a little very strange then facts are broken we're now in this world of post-truth which it was probably perking under the surface but now has really become a way to deal with not having to face uncomfortable truths including facts that you have spoken just a month earlier or a couple hours earlier it's really quite amazing so the anti-intellectualism that the GOP did a very good job of bringing has now been amplified doubts about science the inclusion of lobbyists in the government there could well be major problems with climate change in the next couple of years because even the measures we had agreed to take the Tokyo product Kyoto protocols and other things they're not enough and there's no guarantee whatsoever that those kinds of things would have helped now we're going to take our foot off the break and in fact throw this thing into fifth gear and see what that does in the middle of this of all this the Supreme Court is going to keep going but then politically you wonder whether brexit now trump whether there is a just a sharp swing to the right globally a global lurch to the right i'm calling in here with Marine Le Pen who might win a win power in France golden dawn le ganard the german AFD in the philippines duterte is the the prime minister uh poland hungry turkey austria all have swung to the right in the last couple of years through elections through democratic process but there's nationalism in fact authoritarian nationalism that is uh sort of all over the place and uh putin in russia is sort of happy to watch this and may well have ambitions of creating the greater russia um trump himself is likely a very good recruiting poster for the clash of civilizations which some of us were thinking we might actually be avoiding and maybe we're heading toward now who knows there there could easily be on the table the potential for opening up world war three or at least triggering regional or local nuclear wars so this is all not that exciting however however and this is it's hard to talk about the howevers but i'm looking for these places where one could do something positive change really was needed the reason all these things are happening the reason for all this nationalism is that we've been treated as mere consumers not as human beings we've been we've torn the fabric of society we've decided to offload to government the support for people and then we cut back the government um we've been running this whole machine country by country on obsolete if not backward models of how things ought to work on just these these concepts these wars of memes and ideologies that really haven't worked out um again for me voting for hillary meant putting on hold the kind of change that i saw could happen and it was in fact already happening at a different kind of fringe that a fringe like open source software at a fringe like the sharing economy uh where people were learning how to trust one another again in cities and neighborhoods so trump has catalyzed a moment of dramatic change he also in the process left himself a lot of leeway it's a little strange but by backtracking on everything and denying everything he said before he's kind of set a pattern where he can backtrack and uh who knows where this all goes so i found a small piece of humor on the on the web trump says hey let's get that muslim band going band we thought you said band no way that's harsh also how's the mexican mall coming if only reality were like that so i'm not trying to normalize or praise trump uh in fact his first appointments are so off the charts abysmal that it's hard for me to complete these recordings but i still want to keep the door open because i'm trying to find positive opportunities and these opportunities are worthwhile uh in upcoming videos here they're worthwhile whether or not trump changes there's a lot to be done if we don't do any of these things this whole situation is really likely to end badly and i mean quite badly so i'm highly motivated from that to put these ideas out and see what we can do together my name is jerry mckalski this is one of a series of videos linked together around that trump won and now what we what should we do i am not an historian or a political theorist and the rest of these bullets are explained in the lead video the introductory video to this series please subscribe and come back there's more here thanks for watching


Okay guys so this is the stuff we're going to be using we've got a cup of water here one cup and we've got three-fourths cups of soy sauce which this is what I'm using here we're going to use five teaspoons of brown sugar now I've only got four in here okay because it's going it calls for honey too and I don't want to make the girls sugar level go a little high so I'm only using four but it calls for four teaspoons and this is going to be one tablespoon of honey here and it calls for a quarter teaspoon of garlic powder now I don't have any garlic powder besides I like using this this is I just cut this up this is just this is three cloves of garlic here about medium-sized cloves I'm going to use about half of this which is going to be about it's going to be about maybe a teaspoon you're going to want two tablespoons of cornstarch which I've already got in this bowl and a quarter cup of cold water now what you're going to do is mix this up I'm just using a little fork you mix this up okay and here we're going to put it in here in our pan here in just a few minutes okay so let me get you set up over here so you can see what's going on over here at the pan okay so what we're going to do is we're going to start off we're going to pour water in our soy sauce it's not quite three-fourths a cup good but that's all I had so now we're going to put our garlic in we're going to do our ginger here which is how much was that half a teaspoon this is a one teaspoon but so we're just going to put whoops about that's about a half a teaspoon put this in here in our brown sugar you guys might have seen this this is just for me it doesn't call for this but about maybe a half a teaspoon doesn't take much of that stuff at all now we're going to put our honey in here one tablespoon what we're going to do so we're going to bring this up to temperature and I'm going to use a whisk I got a whisk here and just going to want to go just till it starts just till it's warm and it's there now this is where we're going to add this in here this is our quarter cup of water and two tablespoons of cornstarch I'm going to put that in there we're going to mix it up I'm going to bring this to oh you know medium boil and then I'm going to let let it cook and I'm going to stir it occasionally I'm going to let it cook for five to seven minutes is what it calls for but that's usually about right I usually go about five minutes but so there we go and then this part is going to be done then I'm going to cook some chicken in the wok with our homemade sauce here but right now let's go ahead and we're going to let this cook okay guys I let it go about six minutes I did put a oh I don't know maybe a teaspoon of onion in there just kind of give it a little kick that's it now you're done all you have to do is let cool down and bottle it up you can strain that out if you want to I normally do but what it'll do it'll thicken up see how thick that is piece onion on there nice now I'll show you kind of what this is store-bought here and I'll show you about the consistency it should be now it'll also thicken up more once it cools down see kind of like that but I'm not going to worry about yeah perfect I'm not going to worry about it bottling it up because I'm going to use it in my chicken so what I'm going to do is I'm going to get my walker ready and I'm going to make my chicken so if you guys just wanted to see how I made made my sauce there you go but if you want to see me make the chicken it's just gonna be real quick all I did was excuse me took a bunch of chicken thighs and I just cut them up I didn't like kind of like Cuban but I just Cuban them up I just I deboned them I skinned them and I just just kind of no no particular way or anything like that so I'm gonna go ahead and get this hot and get this ready and once it's ready I'll start throwing I want to do my onions first and then I'll do my all I had the rest of my garlic in there and then we'll fry them up monkey got these noodles so I'm gonna make these noodles for them and well for me I'm gonna have some too I think they'll probably put theirs on top I'll just put mine on the side so starting to get warm so let's get ready for the chicken okay guys so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take the skins off my chicken that I took off my chicken and I'm gonna cook them in here and it's gonna make some it's gonna make some nice grease down at the bottom of there see that and it's going to also help flavor the pan for me so I can use less oil if any at all so it's a little more healthier and of course you don't have to throw away you can actually freeze it and use it again or you can cook it up I like to eat the skin but and I usually fry up a couple kind of crispy for Bruno but so that's what I'm gonna do there was a I've had people ask me before how much chicken do you use what depends on how how many people you're cooking for I just went ahead and used all 10 because once you cut it up and cook it up it does shrink up a little bit but a lot of people gauge it one piece per person I like to have a little extra expensive from having company so I gave you about two pieces per person like I said there's a little extra in here but that's okay so once I take this out then we'll start adding our chicken or no then I'll do the onions and then we'll go to the chicken so stick with me if you're still interested in this and real simple real simple recipe so alright guys I'll be right back okay so I let that render down some I'm just gonna go ahead and put this back in a bowl here see how much grease and stuff came out of that this was a lot so what I'm gonna do I am gonna take some of that out of there while most of it out because I want to use some butter for them for the onions and what I've got here is I've got two tablespoons here of butter I'm gonna note this in here just kind of want to go on a like a medium high but it starts popping in stuff you're too hot which I pop all the time baby but anyway so now let's go ahead and we're gonna go ahead and put our onions in these are getting put back in so I'm not gonna fully caramelize them or anything like that I just want them to start getting brown and then we're gonna take them out we're gonna do our chicken then we'll put these back in so nice that nice sizzling sound and also if it starts drying up on you a little bit you can take some of this and add back in there look at that how yellow that is yeah and I still haven't had had to add any oil all I did was add the butter for some flavoring so I'm gonna go ahead actually I can do this now we'll go ahead and put our our garlic in here this stuff is good for you guys great for the heart and it's proven so now if you want take some of your homemade soy sauce or homemade teriyaki sauce see how much that thickened up now perfect a couple this is just a teaspoon in there you don't have to do it this way just what I'm doing so like always say guys it's your recipe recipe if you'd like it there's no wrong way to do it then so I'm gonna turn this up a little bit now I'm gonna let this cook for a couple minutes then we'll take this out we'll start putting our chicken in I got a lot of chicken over there because last time we didn't have enough and everybody was complaining and smacking me around that I didn't make enough so this time see behind the camera I just got smack see look my hat it's den of where she hit me so anyway guys I'll be back with you hang talking okay as you can see they're not clear brown but they're just starting brown up just took a couple minutes I'm gonna take them out you believe man if you want but I'm doing so much chicken that I'm just gonna take almost of it out and the but it's gonna go back in and cook a little bit once the chicken gets back in there or gets once the chicken gets done I should say what I did with my chicken I coated it with I think it was it probably about cuz you know I didn't really measure it but I'm guessing about a tablespoon cuz I used a lot of chicken I just coated it in yeah the white stuff what's it called corn corn starch okay so we're just gonna put some of this in here you can see I got a lot of this I'm just gonna do like half and half I also put some season salt a little bit of lemon pepper on here season your chicken anyway you want that's what everyone here like that stick around I'm just gonna flatten this out kind of turn it over till it starts getting brown and I'll do the next batch and then we'll put it all in and we'll put our teriyaki sauce and then we'll start mixing them all together okay so now we're gonna add the onions and whatever grease or whatever's in there that's fine just go ahead and dump it all in there and our first batch of chicken there just dump it in do it a nice little stir now I'm gonna add okay that handle got hot alright we're gonna add some of this in here you may or may not have to add some more it's up to you now I'll make give it a quick mix and I'm gonna let this simmer oh 10 to 12 minutes maybe 15 and I'll bring you back show you what we got it's actually only been about 10 minutes so as you can see it thickened up it'll reduce if it's still like if it's just a little bit too saucy for you what you can do is add a a teaspoon at a time of your dang it stuff of your this stuff cornstarch cornstarch or flour you guys can use flour too just add a teaspoon at a time add a teaspoon stir it up a little bit see if it starts thickening once it starts thickening you're good to go or if you want a little more soupy a little more sauce add some more your your stuff in here or you can just add water you can add half a half a cup of half a glass of wine yeah that'd be mom but if you're gonna use wine use white wine but you know use a half a cup of wine which you can add in anyhow it doesn't matter it's now your recipe make it how you want it monkey has tried it but I'm gonna

A YouGov poll commissioned by Sky News has found that 69% of Labour members believe Andy Burnham would be a better Labour leader than Keir Starmer. Now Andy Burnham has impressed people over the past year with his willingness to take on the government and speak in an emotionally engaging way, two qualities distinctly lacking when it comes to Keir Starmer. The only consolation for Starmer with these polls is that Asmayer and not an MP Burnham is not eligible to stand against him. So there is this unfortunate position where all of these members can see this candidate who they would like to be leader. He's the one person or one of the few people who cannot take on that role because he's not in Westminster. The rest of the poll also had some interesting results. So what the YouGov polling showed was that 65% of Labour members believe Labour are on course to lose the next general election. That's compared to only 21% who believe Labour will win it. However, despite that, despite the fact that people aren't seeing the direction of the party as leading Labour into government, the majority are still willing to give Starmer a chance. So even if the party lose the battle and spend by election, YouGov suggests that 41% of people want Keir Starmer to stand down and 48% say he should stay. That's obviously very close, but there is the plurality in favour of him staying on, even if Labour lose in battle and spend. We've talked about how historic it would be for Labour to lose that election. No opposition leader in over a century has lost two by elections to the governing party. Still, members, according to YouGov, are willing to give him a chance. Now, also what will probably be reassuring to Keir Starmer from this polling is that the opposition to him seems pretty divided. The most, I suppose, open opposition to Keir Starmer at this point in time comes from the left in the party. That's because of all the promises he broke in his 10 pledges. Yet the polling shows that while the left might be most opposed to Starmer, it's not clear they would be in a position to take advantage if there were any future leadership contests. So Sky report that in the event of a sudden leadership contest drawn from existing MPs, Home Affairs Select Committee chair Evette Cooper would get the highest level of support of members with 35% of Labour members saying she would get their first preference. Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy is second on 13%, Deputy Leader Angela Reiner on 12%, former leadership contender Rebecca Longbailey on 11% and left-wing stalwart Richard Bergen on 6%. Now, that's not the most reassuring statistic to look at if you are on the left of the Labour Party. If you're thinking at this point, look, this is just a YouGov poll, maybe it's wrong, maybe it's completely meaningless. I mean, I can't guarantee that's not the case. They might have messed up here, but it is worth pointing out that in the past they have tended to be fairly accurate. This is a tweet from Ben Walker from the new statesman and he points out that in past leadership contests, YouGov have been fairly successful at predicting what Labour members are thinking. So in 2020, YouGov polling had Starmer on 53% and Longbailey on 31%. The actual result was Starmer on 56% and Longbailey on 28%. In 2016, YouGov had Corbyn on 62% and Owen Smith on 38%. The actual result was exactly that, 62% for Corbyn and 38% for Smith. Then we can go back to 2015. Then YouGov had Corbyn on 53%, Burnham on 21% and Cooper on 18%. And the result was Corbyn on 60%, Burnham on 19% and Cooper on 17%. So it seems like their pool of Labour members is fairly representative, obviously. This polling was done towards the end of a leadership campaign. There isn't even a leadership campaign now. So this is more hypothetical, but still somewhat worrying if you're on the Labour left. And my question, given this polling, Owen, is let's put aside whether or not a leadership challenge will happen and how it would happen because we've got that coming up next. But first, given these numbers, should the left even want one? Should the left want a leadership challenge when it's not particularly clear that we'd win it? I suppose it's slightly different interpretation of those figures, because I think they're worse from the leadership than they actually look. Because look, we don't know if Labour are going to lose battle in spend. I think it's important to make that clear. Labour might not lose in battle in spend. But there's a difference when something is hypothetical in someone's head and when it actually happens. So Labour members saying, you know, the facts that basically it's even I did in terms of those who think Labour, Kirsten Armour should resign if lose. That's before the shock of a potential loss. That's before the shock of whatever the scale is of that potential loss. And it's also before anyone's made any consistent argument for Kirsten Armour to resign. That hasn't really happened. The only person who's actually done that is Andrew Adonis, who is, I would say, a very eccentric playwright figure. I didn't call for Kirsten Armour. I do think he should resign myself after battle in spend if Labour lose. If Labour don't lose, it's different. If Labour lose, I think he should resign. But I haven't made that argument. And most that argument hasn't been publicly had in the pages of newspapers and all the rest of it. So I think the dynamic changes if Labour loses and depending on the scale and depending on the argument being made. Also, to be honest, Labourism instills a sense of loyalty amongst much of the membership in whoever the leader is. So even if they don't think they're doing well before a very important election, they might not feel that willing to tell even a pollster privately that they think the leader should resign in those circumstances. To be honest, I think this shows a membership which is very dissatisfied with the leadership. I think in terms of Andy Burnham, a lot of people, you know, whatever his politics, there's a lot of people on the left who do obviously want Andy Burnham to be leader. I think Andy Burnham would have to be very clear about what his vision is before the left would actually indulge about myself as much as I like to go on a personal level. But actually, I think it's different when candidates set out their stalls, take Yvette Cooper on 35%. A lot of people might look at that and think, what's the point? But 35%, that's the right of the membership kind of co-hearing around one candidate really. And that's before she sets out a stall. She'd just be a vet. She'd be Kirsten, all over again. She'd have the exact same drawbacks, by the way. Technocratic, no vision for the country. And as soon as she sets out her pitch, as she did in 2015, where she bombed, I think she would do very badly again. And I think if you have a contest, which is about vision, because I think the argument would be, this has been an experiment in a leadership having no vision whatsoever. And actually, Labour needs to believe in something again. And I think the candidate who makes argument the most convincingly would be in pole position to win. So actually, I don't personally, I look at that and think those are worse for Kirsten. I mean, I agree, the left hasn't made any case, again, for any candidate. And that would have to happen, again, in the aftermath, if a defeat happens. So again, no, there's not exactly being some big, high visible candidate, making a clear case as an alternative to Kirsten. So I think everything would change. I mean, after the EU referendum result, the youth of polling of the Labour membership, the first poll was pretty bad for Jeremy Corbyn. But that changed in the course of the leadership contest, because he could put forward his pitch, Owen Smith put his terrible pitch and disintegrated as the campaign went along. And I think Kirsten, I mean, I would be surprised if he stood in such a leadership contest myself, because I think he would be absolutely destroyed in that leadership contest. Because what would his pitch be?  There's not really a case to be made. So I think whoever stands against him would have a very good or whichever candidates would have a very good chance. And I don't think he would put himself forward if a leadership contest actually happened personally. The challenge for the left is, if it's a, if he doesn't resign, and I think the argument should be if Labour lose, there should be a very loud argument for him to resign. And if he doesn't, then we need 40 MPs to nominate a candidate. The left would struggle with that no question. And also the left would not necessarily agree who the candidate should be. Angela Reina would have a good chance there. I know lots of people have different opinions about Angela Reina, so I'm not going to go into that.  So that if that was going to happen, there'd have to be a stalking horse put forward. If Geist Armour resigns, then you need 20 MPs. And the left would then have a very good chance of putting his candidate forward. A lot of people would say John McDonnell would be the obvious candidate in that particular circumstance. And I think he would be a very good, have a very good chance of winning a leadership contest, to be honest with you. Let's quickly look at the speculation in the press over who may be considering a challenge. As Owen says, to launch a challenge against an incumbent leader, one needs 20% of the parliamentary Labour Party to nominate you. That at the moment would be 40 MPs. Were he to resign, you'd only need 10% of the PLP or 20 MPs. Now, the times have suggested that Dawn Butler, Lisa Nandi, Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper could all be considering a challenge against Keir Starmer, or at least throwing their hat in were a contest to begin. Unsurprisingly, I suppose, Keir Starmer for his part has indicated he will defy any calls to quit if the party loses the by-election. Now, that for me, I don't know how seriously we should take that, because no leader is ever going to say, yeah, if I lose, I'm going to resign. I mean, sometimes I say that when it comes to referendums, but no one's ever going to say that when it comes to a by-election. Yes, if I lose this by-election, I'll stand down of my own accord, even if, in the back of Keir Starmer's mind, which I actually think is very unlikely, I don't think he will resign, because I don't think the right will let him. But even if he was planning on it, he wouldn't tell the mirror he was going to do it. Having spoke to lots of Labour MPs, including those who backed Keir Starmer, there's actually a broad consensus that his leadership is doomed a lot, believe very strongly, that he needs to go. But there's division about the mechanics of actually getting there, about who the candidate should be. And a lot of people think it would, you know, an operation will come into play to defend Keir Starmer and shore him up, which particularly come from the right. So time would potentially be of the essence. So it's difficult to know, because it really does depend on the left and the soft left putting their differences aside, because some of those differences have opened, working together in order to ensure that, A, that, you know, I think the beginning, the strategy should be voices, particularly MPs who backed Keir Starmer in the leadership contest, saying, and this is what they say to me, that some of them will privately, including Shadow Ministers, go to Keir Starmer and tell him in a kind of, you know, this in the Tory party, they call this the Men in Grey Suits, that do you want to go down in history as the manager of the Labour Party? And in that situation, what normally happens is a bunker is set up to protect the leader, where they just stop MPs being able to talk to the leader to stop that from happening.  And, you know, maybe will there be resignations from the front bench? How much of an impact will that have? It will depend on a lot of factors and it will be depend on whether they feel paralysed by who the candidate should be and the mechanism to get there. I think there's a very significant chance that by the end of the year, Keir Starmer will not be leader of the Labour Party. I said to their team in January that they were heading for a leadership crisis within six to 12 months. And I think actually, I'm now pretty, pretty accurate. But I think it depends whether basically it ends up with the right changing the leadership rules and then getting rid of him and putting someone even worse in. And that is a very real possibility. So I would say a big, if you're on the left, a big, big part of strategy now is to appeal to the soft left to get them to speak out the people who backed Keir Starmer back in 2020 to say, this isn't working. You've got to stand down for the sake of the Labour Party. You're going to destroy the Labour Party if you carry on as leader. And I think that argument has to be made consistently. And then maybe he'll resign. If not, there needs to be some stalking horse put forward in order to bring the leadership to a close if Labour is in battle and spend. It's going to be hard. But I think that's the only, I think this is do or die, because I think they're going to shut down democracy and leave the Labour Party of burning skip.
