Fifth of December. Fifth of December 20 days to go so we're finally back on here after a few days away and it's still standing so that's always good news and our task today is going to get steel in there so robbies have been they've marked up all the cuts and what have you but the bricks aren't actually coming out until the roof's in just to keep the house water tight and everything so they might might just cut them a bit later but our task today is gonna get them steels in for them these ones which I think the robbies moved over here for us as well so cheers lads and the roof is actually under there I think under all that tarpaul so once we're done with this steel and everything then the robbies can get that roof knocked in and then the rest of it can get finished but yeah so that's the task for today all this has been signed off for everyone they're all happy except for us using different material bricks than them and the blocks it's one of those things isn't it it's not it's not exactly you know I'm not gonna go into it I could do an hour rant about why it's stupid but anyway we're ready to go just get set up and then we'll get started the robbies will be here soon with some strong boys and then we can get cracking right until then let's get set up some of these cuts we can just get the back row shoved in and we'll be ready to go and then it's just a case of get them bricks out get them steels in my favorite part and then bolted up so better go have them with the back row now seen a bit I just wanted to show you this what the robbies have discovered but the biggest concrete length that's got to come out that's a it's gonna be fun I need to go to the bank so when we're taking that out I'll just nip to the bank mmm right that's gonna be fun to take out I thought can we take this so we can throw our bricks straight into it I thought it's gonna be the heaviest part of the job right well I've had our break so now me and Dad are gonna jump up there go then bricks knocked out get set up for the padstones and get them steels in yeah so well they've got some bars we can use we've got some there is well ready for our thermics if we even need that right okay set up right let's try that again with a so there's our angle iron lintel but it goes up the top there into the inside skin so it's acting like a tray there's no tray in it so it's actually I should think they were called cavity trailing tools back then there's no vents in that to let the water out but yeah we'd put a tray on that anyway to protect it but there's no corrosion on that lintel whatsoever and then you've got the concrete lintel inside which is looks like a big solid lump on it inside you shape pieces reinforce concrete loads of reinforcing in it so strong and then the angle line is built on top of it so that's not gonna be as hard as we thought to get out so we're gonna have a clear up the lads are gonna take the beds out from underneath it so it drops and then roll it out we're all propped up here ready we've got a plank on the inside of the we've got a plank switch on the inside of the echoes but we can slide the steel along the top of here perfect height for just perfect height onto the scaffold opening no bother and mean actually they're between us so then no no no problem going so we've a bit of a tidy up bit of prep work bit of work either end and then happy days straight on get on the plank first instead of a hop-up so it's heavy is that other one so backing up backing up a little bit yet kind of fliched it over you know hand in the middle window there you go steady gap between the tricks yeah yeah yeah yeah It's like a 10mm gap now. Right, get your hands in the grip. I'm trying my best. Steady with the top. What do you need to happen? Oh, there's a piece of bricks coming out of here. Do you think we should not have ripped it? I think we're going to stop in there. Yeah, put some air in first. That's the one. I need to show you how I do it. I'm going to show you how you do it. Right, you get your hand in. I'm going to show you. Do you have a bit of your hand? Do you? Do you want to do two of them? No, it's right here. Right, you want to do two of it? What do you think it is, sir? Two of these. There you go. Good play. That's what you can do here. You can push it back. Push it back some more. Push it in. There you go. There you go. Do you want it to back up? Steal from the brick work. From the brick work? Yeah. The wire cover? Yeah. I'm the back of this wire cover here, which is going to the brick, aren't we, sir? Yeah. Which is what I'm supposed to twist. Yeah. Are you happy there, Steve? Yeah. I don't need to go about 20 miles, so maybe very tender first. There you go. Hang on. Are you going to level? Level, Dad? I thought you changed the towel. It's not that bad. It's always a film one going in, though. All right, progress update. Let's just get in the pathoderms put in now and the brick it up. As you saw in the towel, I put the bolts in and they're doing it properly to see if I can get this in. If you could see in there or not, but bolts and washers are all put in the right place. Four bolts, four washers. That's all done. Ready for insulating? There you go. It's a better angle. Just now it's just the case there. If Dad's going to do inside path stones now, I'm going to get tidied up, get the stuff put away, start cleaned up. The mixer's got the stones in already, so I'll see you in the outro. At the extension a few weeks, almost a few months later, isn't it? A couple of months. I'm editing now the first video when it's the 9th of November we started it. It's the 11th of January. The 11th of January. It's been a whole year. So we're just here now because the robbies of Astus River helped to get the door in. Big bifolds again. Well, you saw the steel, so the doors are going in for that now. So we'll get you set up and you can see if we've got this right. Look at that. There's a full skip. We've got the money's worth out of that one. So let's get over and see what we're doing. We know what we're doing. So let's get over and get started. So we're back here on the 4th of Feb just to give you one last little look at it now. All that is the insulation that's been put on ready for rendering. So renderers will be here next to do this. But there we go. And then head inside. My God. That wall's been taken out now.  It's massive in here now. But that's a yeah. Just shows how much it works. So there's for the most part there it is. I'm sure we'll get pictures later which we can post on Instagram about the whole thing finished. So keep an eye on that.  If you enjoyed be sure to give us a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel you want to see more stuff like this be sure to hit subscribe and tap on that bell for notifications All that is a massive help and we greatly appreciate all the support that you guys give us. So this will be playing with Steve and Alex with a very big very nice extension. And we'll see you in the next one.


Rhawn da, Lened mor gandwig wedi dod iach iddag wasanaethau cymdeithasol dros Llywodraeth Cymru a ddiolch i chi am ymuno gyda mi yn weith eto. Thank you very much for joining me again today. I want to give you an update about the latest public health situation in Wales, as we prepare to mark the second anniversary of the pandemic and the first lockdown. Since the end of January, we've seen a steady decline in cases of coronavirus as the winter Omicron wave receded, but we are now, once again, seeing a marked increase in cases across Wales. Coronavirus is spreading quickly in all parts of Wales and in all age groups. Mae'r coronavirus yn sledd yn gyflym ymhobr anogymru ac ymhobr grwp oedran. When the Economy Minister held a press conference to update you about the outcome of the last three-week review, there were around 160 cases per 100,000 people based on positive PCR tests. Today, that figure has more than doubled. This rise is being driven by the BA2 subtype of the Omicron variant of coronavirus. This is a slightly different form of the virus than the one which caused a huge wave of cases over the Christmas and New Year period. All the signs show that it's even more transmissible and faster moving than the original Omicron variant, and reinfraction rates are high, so even if you've had COVID before, unfortunately it won't mean that you're immune to BA2. We had expected to see a rise in case rates as we gradually release protections, but the BA2 subtype is pushing infections up rapidly. I'm going to show you a couple of slides which show how cases are rising all over the UK, driven by this new subtype. The first slides are familiar one. It shows the latest results of the ONS coronavirus infection survey across the UK. You can clearly see that the levels of infections have been rising in all four countries. The rise in Northern Ireland, which is shown by the yellow line, started much earlier, and is now showing some signs of levelling off. You can see case rates growing in Wales. The latest results suggest one in every 25 people is infected. This second slide is different from anything we've shown before. There are four graphs on the slide, one for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Each shows a line for the original Omicron variants and one for the new BA2 subtype. You can see the original Omicron variant declining, and the new BA2 subtype taking over as the dominant form of the virus. The moment this happens is when two lines cross. This happened much earlier in Northern Ireland, shown at the top right. In Wales, the bottom right, the lines crossed over at the start of March. It's likely that most new cases of COVID-19 are now caused by BA2 in Wales. We believe the clinical severity of the BA2 subtype is similar to the original variant of Omicron, which thankfully for most people will mean that they will experience mild symptoms if they've been vaccinated. But this doesn't mean that everyone will have a mild illness. We're watching the levels of illness in older people very carefully, and there has been a spike in hospital admissions in all age groups over the last couple of weeks. There are currently more than 1,200 COVID-19 patients in hospital beds at the moment. This is the highest level we've seen since last March, and it's set to rise even further. Fortunately, there are low numbers of people in intensive care with COVID-19 at the moment. The number of NHS staff who are absent because they have COVID-19 or are self-isolating is also rising. Now all of this means pandemic pressure on our health services are once again increasing just at the point when we'd hope to be able to reset and begin a real focus on addressing waiting times. The current surge in cases is being driven by the new BA2 subtype of the Omicron variant of coronavirus. But we also believe that waning vaccine immunity may be making some groups more vulnerable. For some older people it'll be almost six months since they had their booster vaccine. That's why we started our rollout of the spring booster campaign last week to increase immunity levels in certain age groups. So the spring booster will be offered to everyone over 75 to all older care home residents and to everyone over 12 who is immunosuppressed. Health boards will be sending out invitations to everyone in these groups. Children aged 5 to 11 are also being offered a vaccine. This is designed to increase their immunity against severe COVID-19 and to minimise disruption to their education. I would urge families to discuss the offer and to read up about the vaccine. We're continuing to provide first and second vaccinations and boosters. If you haven't had a COVID-19 vaccine and want one, it's never too late to be vaccinated here in Wales. So we bit unrhyw hwyd i gael eich brachio yma'n hymry. A website and health board websites have more details about how to be vaccinated. Mae gyda ni gyfradau eichel o fath heitys iawn o coronavirus sy'n cilchredeg ar hyn o bryd yn yn cymunedau. Diolch beth i'r rhain fwyfa honno'n bydd hyn yn achos i sallwch ysgafn, ond stim un o honno ni isio bod yn sal. We have high rates of infection in our community at the moment, but thankfully for most of us this will cause only a mild illness, but none of us want to be ill. So it's important that we all take steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones and this means getting vaccinated, washing your hands regularly, self-isolating if you have symptoms, wear a face covering in crowded indoor spaces, meet people outdoors whenever possible, when indoors increase ventilation and let fresh air in. These simple steps will help us to protect us from coronavirus and they'll also help protect us from other common respiratory illnesses. Now tomorrow we'll mark the second anniversary of the first lockdown in the pandemic. It'll be a poignant day as we reflect on the last two years and we remember all of those who've died because of this awful virus. My thoughts are with all the families across Wales who've lost loved ones. Fawr i byddwn ni yn nod i dwyflynedd ers dechrau'r pandemic neu'r cyfnod clol cyntaf. Bydd yn ddyrodd emosio nol iawn i nifer o bobl wrth i ni gofio nôl dros y dwyflynedd wethawf am meddwl am bawb sydd wedi marw o'r virus of nadw hyn. Mae meddyliau i gyda pob un o'r teuluoedd. And my thanks. And also with everyone across Wales who's done so much over the last two years to look after and care for one another. With every day that passes we learn more about coronavirus and we take one more step closer to being able to live safely with this virus. Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd. I'll now take questions from journalists and all my answers will be broadcast live on our social media feeds. So first question from Felicity Evans BBC Wales. Minister, thank you very much indeed. Obviously it's a review week this week. The First Minister has given an interview to BBC Wales where he's told us that the decision over whether or not to allow the remaining COVID legal restrictions to lapse on Monday is turning out to be a challenging decision given the spike in cases that you've just talked us through. I wonder if you can give us a bit more insight into the discussions that are going on and what the options are that are being discussed. Are we talking about perhaps renewing all the existing COVID restrictions or just some of them, for example, face masks? Where are we on all of that, please? What is going to be a very finely balanced judgment in terms of whether we continue with our planned approach to releasing those very final restrictions that we still have in place. And there are no foregone conclusions. We're analysing the data. We're giving ourselves as much time as we can to look at what's happening elsewhere in the United Kingdom to learn from their experiences. We will act in the best interest of the NHS and of the public health in Wales. We have got to consider the pressures on the NHS at the moment. Our hospitals are full already. Any additional new pressure on the NHS is going to lead to more difficulties in terms of access to accident and emergency, the difficulties of getting ambulances to people. All of those things need to be considered as well as the fact that we're likely to see more people who work in our NHS going off sick. So these are difficult judgments. At the same time, of course, we've actually got the lowest rates of COVID within the United Kingdom. But we've always tried to follow the science, follow the data, but this is going to be a finely balanced judgment. It may be that we'll look at keeping some restrictions and forging ahead with the ones that we planned already, but there are no decisions that have been made so far. Thank you. Judging from what you've said there, the pressure on the NHS continues to be one of the main factors in driving the decision-making over whether or not to continue restrictions. We've seen how of that today say that they're under more pressure because of COVID-19 admissions and they're rescheduling some planned care. How bad is the pressure on the NHS at the moment compared to how it was during the worst of those COVID pressures and how optimistic are you that they're in a position to deal with that without having to U-turn on some of the restrictions? We're really anxious to get on with the job of the planned care backlog. There are lots of people across Wales who are waiting in pain, who need to be seen. We want to get on with that job. That is more difficult if our hospitals are full. We know that there are over 1,000 people in our hospitals who are ready for discharge but because of the fragility of our care system, which we hope will be reinforced by the fact that we will be paying the real living wage from April. We'll hopefully see some pressure being taken off there. We already have around 1,400 people in our hospitals with COVID at the moment. Only about 19% of those are actually being treated for COVID so some of them have come in with other issues but they happen to have COVID so we've got to understand that but actually the way we deal with them in hospitals needs to consider the fact that they do have COVID and they could be passing that on to other people so that adds to the pressure. That's why I think it is going to be very, very difficult. I'm acutely aware of the fact that the pressures on our accident emergency services, for example, the ambulance, lots of ambulances waiting outside because they can't get people into hospitals so the more people we see in hospitals with COVID, the more difficult it is going to be to get people in through the front door. Thank you Minister and could I just ask you to summarise that in Welsh as well for me please, thank you.  Ar y llaw arall, mae un i gyda cyfraddau sy'n is na gweddill a dyna sy'n edrych ond ni'n mynd yn y cyfeiriaid anhywyr felly mae'n botibl bod dwi'n dewys ar ddethol pa gyfyniadau i gadw ond sy'n penderfyniadau wedi cael ei wneud hyd yn un a bod dwi'n cadw llyga da'r data tan dydd iau. Mike Griffiths, ITV Wales. Thank you Minister. If I can just pick up on some of the themes in your previous answers there, notably the support to the NHS to the ambulance service, we know that the Armed Forces, the Army had been asked again to support the service. That was due to end at the end of March. What is the status of that and will you be looking to extend that if possible? There's been a huge recruitment exercise in terms of people joining the ambulance service so we're really pleased to see that happening. But there could be a couple of weeks where there will be some quite difficult situations as we see the numbers of people leaving us who've given us great support from the Army over the winter period but before those new recruits are ready to start their work. So we've been working towards that and we're also working to make sure that we have new and better systems of ambulatory care or the STEC services that we're trying to add to our hospitals so that some people can go to accident and emergency and others go to the same day care services that are available within our hospitals. So we're trying to reinforce that approach so that we don't see difficulties when we see those people who've helped us out so much from the Army over the winter months. In terms of the subtype of Omicron that you've discussed and explained do you have any modelling at the moment that indicates where a possible peak may be and how much further that could escalate? So we did have some modelling but obviously most of that was done on the basis of BA1. That modelling is being updated as we speak so we're hoping to get new models before we make these final decisions but it is absolutely clear that we are likely to see the rates increasing but also the number of people being hospitalised certainly if we look at the experience of Scotland is likely to increase as well. Mark Smith, Wales Online. Thank you very much indeed Minister. Health workers who travel by car to treat people in their own homes say the soaring cost of fuel is limiting the amount of patients they can see each day. Unions have called on NHS employers and the Welsh Government to issue an immediate additional fuel allowance for NHS staff who find themselves out of the pocket. So with that in mind what is the Welsh Government doing to help these workers financially and ensure that patients are given timely care in their communities? I am very aware of the concerns of those NHS workers and the requests that have come from the unions on this very important issue. Of course we don't want people to be out of pocket and we will be assessing this situation to see if there are any measures that we can put in place to support them but we of course need to find that additional funding from somewhere and that is going to be a difficult task but we'll see what we can do in that space. Thank you very much indeed and secondly as you've mentioned last week children between the ages of 5 and 11 started being offered the Covid vaccine in Wales. Would you be able to give perhaps an insight into what the take-up has been like in these very early stages and what are parents telling you about whether they want their children to be immunised against Covid-19 given the chances of their illness is much smaller when compared with adults? Thanks very much. We started the rollout for 5 to 11 year olds on the 12th and 13th of March so it's still very early days to just analyse the uptake in that space. The reason why we were very keen to introduce this because we do recognise that the chances of this aid cohort getting severely ill is very low but we do want to do everything we can to try and keep our children in school because we know how damaging it is for them to miss school and that's particularly true for the autumn so this is very much a preparation for the autumn as well as trying to give them some protection now. We don't know how Covid will run its course and what it would look like in the autumn but if we can put those protection measures in place to keep our children in school we're asking parents to read the information that's available to them. I know that the chief medical officer has written to schools to ask his information to be disseminated to parents as well so we do hope people will take up that offer but obviously that will be a call for parents. Dan Bevan, LBC. Thank you minister, good afternoon. It's fair to say there's a lot of pandemic fatigue around at the moment. On the world people are worried about the cost of living crisis the war in Ukraine. Are you worried at all that if measures need to be reintroduced or prolonged beyond next Monday that it's going to be difficult to ask people to continue with these measures and is that something that's playing into the cabinet discussions at the moment? I absolutely understand that people have had enough of Covid. We've all had enough of Covid particularly when we see the other incredible pressures when we see what's happening in Ukraine but also the real pressures that some of the people within our communities are facing in terms of being able to pay their bills. I do think though that we have to understand that Covid is putting pressure on our NHS. Our job as a government is to protect the public and to protect it in particular in relation to public health. The measures that are left are actually fairly limited so I don't think it's a huge big deal to ask people to wear a face covering in certain circumstances. The ask if it continues will be a fairly modest one so I just think that we need to get some perspective on this relative to where we've been in the past where we simply weren't even allowed to leave our homes. So some perspective I think makes sense. If I could just move briefly away from Covid the Chancellor has an opportunity tomorrow to address that cost of living crisis that you referred to at his spring statement tomorrow. What do you and the rest of the Welsh Government want to hear at the dispatch box tomorrow? We want to hear him make it absolutely clear that there will be more support for people so that they don't have to choose between heating and eating. We know the incredible pressures that are on people. We know that there will be an additional ask for people in terms of their pay packets. They'll have to pay for the national insurance contributions which we don't think is the best way of doing it because it's going to hit certain sectors of society more than others. We saw the cuts to universal credit. Obviously we'd like to see that reversed as well. I think we particularly would like to see some more support in the energy field and we don't want to see them trying to cover up what was a cost of living crisis before with the excuses that all of this has been as a result of the situation in Ukraine. We knew that we were facing a 54% increase in the energy cap in April that was before the Ukraine situation blew up. We know that there's calculated about 280,000 people in Wales living with fuel poverty. We want some support for them. We, of course, in the Welsh Government have done as much as we can. We have a warm homes energy efficiency support scheme. We have a discretionary assistance fund, £14 million if people are struggling. We've got a national benefits take up campaign and of course we gave an additional £51 million in December to help people with their fuel costs. We've given £1.1 million for food banks and of course we've given £244 million in terms of the council tax reduction scheme. So we're doing what we can in Wales but it's the UK Government that has the big bucks and that needs to step in here. Tom Magner, Carers World Life. Thank you very much indeed Minister. Can I draw your attention to an underlying issue that's a very serious concern to our viewers? The latest report into the poor performance of the Social Services Wellbeing Wales Act shows that this situation is denying unpaid carers rights to which they're entitled in law. It was failing even before Covid. Why do you think it has let down unpaid carers so badly over the years, some five years or so, that it's been enforced? Thanks very much. I was interested to read that assessment. Of course Julie Morgan is doing great work in this space and has always been a champion for unpaid carers and if I can suggest to you Tom that she may be making some interesting announcements in the very near future. Perhaps you could look forward to those. Certainly look forward to those but just for the moment can I just get your thoughts on this? A lot of our viewers are saying that the system is far too complicated even if they knew about it. It's a complex mix of local authorities, carers, organisations, health boards. A lot between the Welsh Government providing money and the actual people who need it. Could you simplify the process perhaps or am I anticipating a forthcoming announcement? What I do recognise is that the system is extremely complex. That actually every person who needs care have their own individual needs. So actually to impose a structure on that is really difficult but at the same time we're a government trying to do things at scale. Obviously there's a contradiction there and that's difficult which is why we work very closely with our local authorities to make sure that they have the flexibility to respond at a more local level but hopefully Tom you will be able to wait for further announcement. Impatiently, yes, thank you Minister. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi gyd. Thank you.


Hey guys and welcome back to Comic Gettin TV we're all geek culture collides and if you're new to the channel please click the subscribe button below because it does help the channel quite a bit. Today we're continuing the month of October with Chaos Comics Halloween 2 The Blackest Eyes from April 2001. We open where part one left off. The shape has been lit on fire and fell out Tommy Doyle's upstairs window to the ground below. By the time Tommy could get to the window though the shape was gone. As Tommy catches his breath and evaluates the scene and the damage to his office he reloads his gun and plans to follow in Loomis' footsteps to hunt down Michael Myers and kill him once and for all. For 24 years the Myers house has haunted Richie Castle's dreams leading endlessly back to the nightmare of when he met the boogeyman. We see in a flashback Richie the kid who caused Tommy to fall on his pumpkin that fateful Halloween so many years ago that Halloween afternoon Richie didn't know he'd met the devil in disguise but as he looked into those eyes the blackest eyes he knew evil had come to Haddonfield Illinois. By the following morning when people were dead Richie knew that evil now called Haddonfield its home. Those 24 years haven't been kind to Richie he never made it out on a football scholarship his attempt to be a success in the real estate business went sour during the market bust he lost his wife his job his house tonight Richie's gonna burn down the past he goes into the Myers house with a can of gasoline and plans to incinerate it but evil is there waiting for him. Former sheriff Brackett vowed he'd never return to Haddonfield after Michael Myers slaughtered his daughter Annie and her friends 22 years ago but he was nearby and discovered Richie covered in blood. Tommy sees Brackett leave the house carrying the body to his car Brackett doesn't want to stir up the memories of Michael again so he has to dispose of the body when Tommy follows Brackett to a pumpkin patch five miles outside Haddonfield it's revealed that Brackett is the one who killed Richie it was a mistake he thought it was Myers it's here that Sheriff Brackett reveals the story of Haddonfield and what led to the curse of Thorne Haddonfield was one of the earliest towns founded in the Midwest the name is derived from Hayden meaning cursed the devout Protestants who escaped religious persecution in England weren't the only ones some of those contemporaries of the infamous Cotton Mather were behind their pious pilgrim faces actually worshipers of a far older religion Druids during the New England witch hunts a group of clandestine Druids led by one Murphy Myers headed west fearing for their lives Myers was the direct descendant of a cursed bloodline the curse of Sam Hayden was placed upon the Myers descendants nearly 2000 years ago every generation of Myers was cursed while the women folk were touched with visions and sometimes the ability to read minds the firstborn male of each generation carried the seed of Sam Hayden's evil in order to appease the gods the Druid priests held fire rituals prisoners of war criminals the insane were all burned alive by observing the way they died they believed they could see omens of the future Michael was never meant to live for three generations the Myers family had been blessed with peace none had killed but that night Halloween 1957 they knew the evil had returned stronger than ever Audrey Myers was tortured by an agonizing three-day labor Michael was born at 1157 that night he was the first of the cursed Myers offspring to be born on that day as if the curse was waiting for a vessel to carry the ultimate evil Michael's body may have entered the world that night but his soul did not he was stillborn but that soul that black-hearted soul did arrive as night became day the day of the dead he was officially pronounced alive at 1206 a.m and the curse was fulfilled Michael displayed no extraordinary effects from his dark beginnings he been saying in the church choir with brackets younger brother but the leaders were not so easily lulled into a false sense of peace they waited watching for the fury of Sam Hayden to be released it's revealed that Judith was sheriff brackets ex-girlfriend he along with half the football team knew her in the biblical sense he dated her for a while before heading off to college it was rumored that mr. Myers was abusive bracket confirmed that yes he was physically abusive to the children perhaps even sexually abused Judith Judith was a nympho and there was some strange bond between her and Michael Judith's death led to bracket becoming a cup and eventually sheriff it turns out when Loomis died sheriff bracket received a package containing Loomis's secret journals it's then the two are attacked by the druids led by mrs. Blankenship Tommy Doyle has meddled enough in their affairs and Lee Brackett should have known better than to desecrate their sacred place but no more the two are taken by the cult and prepared for sacrifice in the church basement they plan to sacrifice the two but the minister of the church comes to odds with mrs. Blankenship the old way is no longer work if Brackett were to go to the cops he'd be locked up and Doyle has a history of mental illness who would believe him anyway the minister tries to save the two but just after he unties them the shape stabs them through the back with a butcher knife Brackett and Tommy attempt to stop him Brackett throws a lantern at the shape while Tommy fights him off the lantern catches him on fire once again but just as the shape swipes at Tommy with his knife Tommy dodges and the blade catches an electrical socket electrocuting him allowing Tommy to escape carrying a stabbed lead bracket the church explodes and Tommy is met by the druids who frame him for murder and arson leading to his arrest this was an interesting take on the story of Michael Myers it built upon everything that was set up in halloween's one through six expanding upon the curse and the history of haddonfield as well as the relationship within the Myers family this could be the reason why during the opening scene of halloween when Michael's parents discover him covered in blood holding the knife his mother doesn't really seem a bit surprised as she just steps back and puts her hands into her coat pockets the return of mrs. blinkenship as the leader of the cult was a nice twist and Tommy Doyle being framed for their crimes and lead Brackett's death was a nice touch we're still in the curse of Michael Myers timeline though but tune in next time when we connect the curse timeline with the h2o timeline in halloween 3 the devil's eyes from november 2001

Cabbage grows well in many areas of Alaska. One favorite way to use cabbage is to make sauerkraut. I'm Julie Cascio with the Cooperative Extension Service of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. By definition, sauerkraut is acidic cabbage. It's the result of natural fermentation by bacteria in cabbage in the presence of 2-3% salt. Lactic acid is produced during this fermentation. This lactic acid, along with other byproducts of fermentation, gives sauerkraut its characteristic flavor and texture. Research on food preservation is an ongoing process. The United States Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service continuously apply new research findings to their recommendations for food preservation techniques. The guidelines in this module may be revised as additional knowledge is gained that may increase the margin of safety or improve the quality of home-preserved foods. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Office annually for updated information. You may do this through telephoning us, through looking for our resources on the web, or through our publications. Let's talk about equipment needed for making sauerkraut. A one-gallon-size container is needed for each five pounds of fresh vegetables. A five-gallon container is the ideal size for fermenting about 25 pounds of shredded cabbage. Food-grade plastic and glass containers and lead-free stone crocs work well. Other one-to-three-gallon, non-food-grade plastic containers may be used if, lined with a clean food-grade plastic bag, be certain that foods contact only food-grade plastics. Do not use garbage bags, trash liners, or plastic buckets not meant for food use or that have been used to store non-food products such as cleaning supplies. You'll also need a knife and cutting board or food processor or a mandolin to slice cabbage. A tamper, such as a wooden spoon or a plastic potato masher, canning and pickling salt, a scale, a large mixing bowl or pan, a measuring spoon, and then you'll need something to weight down the cabbage.  Okay, let's grab our cabbage and get ready to slice it up. Mature, large-headed types of cabbage weighing 6 to 15 pounds with a solid white interior are the most desirable for sauerkraut. Red cabbage may be used but the color changes during fermentation and not everybody likes what results. Work with about 5 pounds of cabbage at a time. Remove the outer leaves and any portions that don't look very good. Anything undesirable. Wash them and then drain them, which I've already done. Cut the cabbage into quarters. Move the core. Then you're going to cut it into thin shreds either using a mandolin, a shredder or a knife. We're going to start with the mandolin. You do have to be careful when you're using a tool like this not to get your fingers close to the blade. What you're looking for is uniform shreds of cabbage and you want to get them about the thickness of a quarter. If you have larger shreds of cabbage, pick those out and put them aside. You can use those later for a cabbage or another kind of cabbage dish for coleslaw. Having shreds of cabbage that are the same thickness is because of the fermentation process. You want them all to ferment about the same length of time so they all need to be about the same thickness. Sometimes you'll have to cut up some of the cabbage toward the end so that you can use the nice pieces. You can also, if you don't have a shredder, just use a knife and cut all the shreds from your cabbage by hand. When you add the salt to the shredded cabbage, it causes the juices to be extracted from the cabbage. This juice contains fermentable sugars. The microorganisms present on the cabbage leaves will in the absence of oxygen use these sugars to produce the lactic acid. The acid is then what preserves the cabbage. It's very important to use the correct amount of salt when you're making cabbage. Less salt will cause the cabbage to spoil rather than to ferment. So if you want a product that has less salt, you still use the same amount of salt while you're fermenting the sauerkraut.  We need just a little bit more cabbage in here. We're looking for five pounds of cabbage. The proportion of salt that you need to cabbage is of cabbage to three tablespoons of salt. We've gotten a little bit more cabbage. We're going to measure it out, taking out our larger pieces. Sometimes, depending upon how you're holding the cabbage, you can see how this one is really thick. And since it's the rib of the cabbage, you really need to make sure that it's thin enough. And again, these can be either used in your compost pile or used for other cabbage dishes that you don't need to ferment, such as coleslaw or cooking it on the stove with some nice sausage. Good things to eat. See how much cabbage we have. Let's see if I can do this balancing act so the container doesn't fall off of my scale as I'm putting the cabbage into measure. We have just about two and a half pounds. And we're going to add this to cabbage that we already have measured, which is another two and a half pounds, into our large container. We're going to mix this five pounds total of cabbage with three tablespoons of salt.  After I get this mixed thoroughly, I'm going to let it sit for five to ten minutes for that wilt to occur so that the natural juices again come out of the cabbage. While we have been waiting for the cabbage that had the salt mixed into it to wilt, I've also chopped up some other cabbage, shredded it very finely, and I wanted to show the difference between cabbage. This is five pounds of cabbage with three tablespoons of salt added to it and how this is beginning to wilt and this is five pounds of cabbage that has not had the salt added to it yet. A salt that we've had wilting the longest is in this container. We're going to transfer it to a suitable fermentation container. You can actually ferment in smaller containers if you have smaller amounts of cabbage and later we'll show you the quart jar method for fermenting cabbage in making sauerkraut. Right now we're going to go through the method for fermenting cabbage, large amounts of cabbage in a larger container. That down, but in the meantime I want to get this cabbage started wilting. So again, our method is the same. Notice that in this cabbage we have some darker pieces of cabbage from the outer leaves and these outer leaves, they're not going to hurt anything but you need to know that at the end of your fermentation process the darker green cabbage will be a darker color. It's nothing bad, it just means that the color is different. Since we have five pounds of cabbage we're adding three tablespoons of salt and mixing it thoroughly to set aside and allow it to wilt. Now this cabbage that's wilted we want to press down. We can use a tamper. It's made for that purpose. A wooden spoon or in this instance we're using a nylon potato masher. Notice there's some metal here. I do not want to touch the cabbage with the metal. I only want to use the nylon or the plastic part. Metal can interfere with the fermentation. And as I'm packing this, you'll notice that the juices are beginning to show up. It takes some energy. So the strong person in your house is a good candidate to recruit for this part of the method. And we're going to repeat. We've already done the shredding as I've mentioned. We have some cabbage that's wilted it's much easier to work with five pounds of cabbage at a time and layer it. You get a better opportunity to get as many juices out of the cabbage as possible. If you have cabbage that's fresh out of the field you will find that it doesn't take as long for it to wilt and that you will get more juices. If you purchase cabbage or take cabbage that's been stored the juices take a little bit more coaxing. Sometimes you even need to add a little bit of sugar to help those juices be made more readily. You can use your hands as well to press this glass or this plastic container is fun. Glasses too. Because you can actually see the layers that you've put into the container. I'm going to continue pressing this and we're going to wait while the next part, next layer of our cabbage, is wilting. If the final batch of cabbage is less than five pounds, adjust the salt. One pound of cabbage needs one and a third teaspoons of salt for proper fermentation. Since we have two pounds of cabbage in this container we would add two and two thirds teaspoon of salt. Right in this container we have four, five pound batches of shredded cabbage. So it makes twenty pounds of cabbage. The cabbage should be covered with one to two inches of liquid. And here we have when we press down on the cabbage because it likes to float to the top of the juice. We can see that there's about oh, three quarters of an inch of juice on top. If that's the case, if the juice doesn't cover your cabbage or there's not enough you may add some boiled and cooled brine. The concentration of this brine is one and a half tablespoons of salt to a quart of water. Do not add plain water as this will dilute the salt concentration that's necessary for proper fermentation. There's two methods of covering the cabbage and waiting it down to keep it underneath the brine. And I'm going to show you both of them.  And after you get the cloth tucked in on the sides and you place a plate a flat object that just fits beautifully inside the container and then you want to put a weight on it and the weight needs to press the cabbage down underneath the juice. That's one of the methods that you can use and the weight could be right here. It could be jars filled with brine that are seated on top just so that it's heavy enough to keep the cabbage underneath the juice. The other method that I want to show you uses a plastic bag and brine. Let's set this aside for now. You fill it with brine in case there's a leak in the bag. So you take your plastic bag to take this out. And you can use any of this wonderful juice. The brine concentration is the same and because we need more brine we use a gallon of water to six tablespoons of salt. Replacing it on top of the fermenting cabbage and getting it all the way out to the sides. You may need to adjust the amount of brine that you put into the cabbage or into the bag so that the cabbage stays underneath the brine. In fact, I think I'm going to add a little bit more of this bag. It's a good idea to use a thickness of two bags just in case the one that is actually holding the brine gets a puncture in it. Get the air out. Tie it securely. In this instance we could just zip it shut. The filled bag seals the cabbage from exposure to air and prevents the growth of filmyaster molds. It also serves as the weight. The bag should be watertight plastic and of course be food safe.  The amount of the water in the bag, as I mentioned can be adjusted. Watch as you have the sitting and fermenting for bubbles rising inside the fermenting liquid. This shows you that fermentation is occurring. A room temperature of 70 to 75 degrees is best for fermenting. This usually takes from three to four weeks to completely ferment though it may work slower if it's kept at cooler temperatures. Hotter temperatures can be a danger and you can have more spoilage than actual fermentation taking place.  If you use the plate and weight method the first method that I showed you check the crowd two or three times a week and remove any scum as it forms. Now that I've shown you how to prepare sauerkraut in large containers I will show you the quart jar method. You start by preparing the cabbage in the same manner as for the large container method using a grater or knife to ensure uniform slices. Combine with the salt in the same manner that we previously demonstrated. Then after allowing the cabbage to wilt you pack it tightly into sterilized jars. As you're packing you want to leave a head space of two inches. It takes a little bit to get to that two inch space because we'll start with two inches but as we pack it of course it gets compressed. The cabbage is really nice and juicy. And this was about two pounds of cabbage. You can see that these liquid on top of the cabbage and there's about two inches of head space between the top of the liquid and the edge of the jar. You can either do one of a couple of different methods in order to keep the cabbage below the brine pack a clean cloth into the head space to keep the cabbage in the liquid and then put some kind of a weight on top of it or you can use small plastic bags filled with brine and use that to keep the cabbage submerged in the brine. I'm going to use that method today and pour the brine in using the double bag method. I like the brine filled bags because I think it does a good job of keeping the cabbage submerged. I want to make sure though that it fits snugly into all the corners so that no air gets inside. I'm going to use the double bag environment. Another option that you could do instead of the brine filled method is to take the bag out have the cloth inside put the lid on top of the rim of the jar and put a band around it and tighten it. Not so tight or not too tight but tight enough to keep air out. It takes a little longer if you have cooler temperatures in the room where the sauerkraut is working until the liquid has a chance to settle and bubbles no longer rise to the surface. This sauerkraut has been fermenting for four weeks at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. During the first week bubbles rose to the surface and broke. During subsequent weeks bubbles continued to form but not as actively. They just kind of sat in the sauerkraut. Now that the bubbles have stopped fermentation is probably finished. Another indicator that fermentation has stopped is color change from opaque and white to golden yellow and translucent. Smell it. It should smell like sauerkraut. And then taste it to check for characteristic flavor. We're going to remove the bag that has been sitting holding our crowd underneath the brine take a non-metallic spoon or utensil and get a little bit of that sauerkraut out. It tastes like sauerkraut. You may notice residue on the inside of the container. This is salt sediment left behind from moisture evaporation. It's not going to hurt anything. Fully fermented crout may be stored in the refrigerator in the freezer or on a shelf after being canned. In the refrigerator sauerkraut can be kept tightly covered for two to three months. Make sure sufficient juice covers the crout before storing it in the refrigerator. You can use any kind of non-metallic container and scoop it in. This particular container is a freezer container. You can check that by the package. The words on the package. You want to make sure that it has enough juice in it to cover. We're going to have to put the brine that we have cooled in on the side so we have enough brine to cover. This can be stored in the refrigerator for two to three months as long as it's kept tightly covered. You could take your original container and put that in the refrigerator depending upon whether you have enough place in your refrigerator for it to store. Put that aside and put it in the refrigerator a little later. To store it in the freezer, pack your crout and juice in rigid plastic moisture vapor proof freezer container. A glass jar leaving one and a half inch head space for expansion or in plastic freezer bags. Make sure that you mark the freezer bag or the lid of your container with a permanent marker. Say the date frozen indicate that it's sauerkraut because when you have containers in the freezer it's sometimes difficult to distinguish what they are and you can store it in the freezer for best quality no more than eight to twelve months. For canning the sauerkraut place your boiling water canner on your heat source with enough water to cover the jars by at least one inch. Crout can either be hot packed or raw packed. Empty the crout from the container that it was fermented in into a large heat source and bring it to one hundred and eighty five to two hundred and ten degrees that's a simmering temperature. Do not boil. We'll be back when our crout has come to a simmering temperature. We're going to pack our hot sauerkraut into our hot clean jars up to a half inch head space and we'll put in the juice to fill in those holes a little too much. If we get it too full the problem ends up being that the juice will run over the edges and very well can compromise the seal. We do need to make sure that we clean the rims of our jars as that liquid brine can be very sticky. Then we're going to take the lids that have been softened according to manufacturers directions about two minutes in hot water and add the lids that will keep the or add the rings on that will keep the lids from popping off during the processing. Add our hot liquid hot jars to our boiling water and the boiling water bath and as soon as that comes back up to boil we want to set our timer for the correct processing time. It's important to start the processing time when the water comes to a boil. Jars should be processed for 10 minutes when they're pint jars and 15 minutes when they're quart jars. After the processing time has elapsed remove the jars set them upright and allow them to cool and when they're cool of course we're going to label. To raw pack pack your clean jars with unheated crouch and liquid leaving a half inch headspace again this time you're going to start with cool water in your canner and bring the whole thing to a boil. Start your processing time again when the boil comes up it will be processed 20 minutes for pint jars and 25 minutes for quart jars. If you have fermented your cabbage into sauerkraut using the quart jar method you will pack it only using the hot pack method. So we're going to remove the brine filled bag from the top that has held the crout underneath the brine during the fermentation process. We're going to put it into a pan of cool water up to the rim of the neck of the jar and we're covering that pot and putting it on our heat source. We're going to bring that to a boil and boil it for 10 minutes. Alternately if you wanted to take it out of the jar you could pour the crout into a container and put it on the heat source. Again though you want to boil it for 10 minutes. This is different than what I told you about processing with the hot pack for sauerkraut that had been processed or fermented rather in a larger quantity. With the one quart jar method you need to have that added measure of safety of boiling the liquid and the crout together for 10 minutes before you place it into the jar. Then you will follow the hot pack procedure. So now we've gone over three methods of storing your sauerkraut. You can either put it in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container store it in the freezer in a freezer proof container or make it shelf stable by heat processing it and storing it on the shelf. When the canning process is complete and your jars have cooled for 12 hours check the seals by tapping the jar lids. If some jars did not seal reprocess the unsealed jar lids using a fresh jar lid. Reprocessing must be completed within 24 hours. Alternatively, you may freeze the contents of unsealed jars or use within a couple of days. Rings may be removed from the jars when the cooling process is complete and you've checked the seal. Label your jars with the date, the processing method and processing time and of course it's good to put the product on there too. Sometimes when they sit on the shelves for a while you may not remember what's in each of those jars. Store your canned goods in a cool dark place. For best quality, use sauerkraut every year. People often have questions about spoilage in sauerkraut. Spoilage of sauerkraut is indicated by undesirable color, off odors and soft texture. If your crowd has spoiled here's some things that may have gone wrong. Soft sauerkraut may be due to insufficient salt, uneven distribution of salt or air pockets caused by improper packing. Measure your salt accurately, mix it well with the cabbage and pack it carefully and be sure to weight it properly to get rid of air pockets. Pink kraut is caused by the growth of certain types of yeast. Usually it's on the surface of the kraut. These yeasts may grow if there is too much salt, again if there is an uneven distribution of salt or if the kraut is improperly covered or weighted during fermentation. Rotted kraut is usually found at the surface where the cabbage has not been covered sufficiently to exclude air during fermentation. Scum may also form on the surface. This scum does not cause trouble as long as it's skimmed off before it stops the fermentation process. Remove it every day or so. For spoilage which occurs on the surface you may be able to remove the spoiled kraut and use the rest. Molds that grow on the surface of kraut can change the acidity to spoilage microorganisms that are harmful. Molds grow best when they get some air. Try to keep the kraut container airtight. Check your kraut often for mold and quickly remove any that you see. Darkness in kraut may be caused by improperly trimmed cabbage, that's the darker green leaves give a darker color in the kraut. That's not bad. But it also may be due to insufficient brine in the fermenting cabbage. Exposure to air in the long storage period in the kraut after fermentation is complete may also result in darkened kraut. Another cause of darkening may be high temperatures during the fermentation stage, processing stage, or during storage. These are some ideas on what may have gone wrong with your silver kraut if spoilage occurs.


I would say this. I like conservatives. I like hanging out with conservatives. I like debating conservatives. I never find a rude conservative. It's almost impossible to find. I get nothing but love from conservatives. I spoke, you know this, I spoke at Liberty University, the largest evangelical conservative Christian college in America. I spoke in front of 14,000 people. You've done the exact same gig. These people know my views. They know I'm married to a man. I got a standing ovation. They couldn't have been nicer. I wandered around campus for a couple of hours. People coming up to me saying all sorts of nice things. By the way, some people did come up to me and say, you know, I'm praying for you. And I don't know if they meant that I'm praying for you meaning I'm trying to pray the gay way or I'm just praying like your continued success or whatever. But it would almost be irrelevant to me. Even if someone- Yeah, I'm praying the gay way. Well, that's not offensive. If they're not saying I'm gonna, you know, come and slug me over the head.  I'm praying for you. And by the way, I can deal with that.   So, you know, this is where this idea of tolerance and all of these things, I think broadly speaking, conservatives have done a really nice job in the last couple of years of cleaning up whatever those bad parts are. The point is that conservatives still often, I think should take a libertarian approach on it, be okay with a state-by-state situation, but there's still a certain layer of conservatives that take a sort of more moral position on it and that it's gonna infect society or something. And by the way, I'm not trying to change those people's opinions. That's the part that I really wanna tell you. I'm not here to do that. Change that, yeah, that's funny. I just wanna carve out room on the same side. As you can see, Dave Rubin is apparently still in denial about the GOP's homophobia. Now, if you were making this argument in say 2017, 2020, maybe even 2021, not necessarily, but maybe, then his argument would have a little bit more legs. But after the GOP collectively chose to make anti-LGBTQ plus hate, their main focus in 2022, after he was dragged through the mud by his own fans after announcing that him and his husband were having two children, to make this argument, it just feels extra disgusting. And let's be really clear here. If he were simply downplaying the extent to which the modern Republican party is homophobic, that would be gross. But he's just pretending as if it's not an issue. And why is he doing this? Because he's craven. He will do anything to advance his own career. And look, he doesn't have to do this, right? There are some conservatives who are in that movement, but yet they don't drink all of the Kool-Aid, right? They don't follow along with every single talking point. Adam Kokesh, for example, was a libertarian YouTuber and he would confront individuals like Steven Crowder about his refusal to support marijuana legalization. The question is, where's Adam Kokesh now? I mean, I think he's still around making YouTube videos, but you can't really advance on the right unless you go all in, right? It's like a funnel. You can kind of swirl around the top, but ultimately, if you wanna make it, you're gonna go to that same path.  You just cross your fingers and hope that you're not next if you're Dave Rubin. But he's a nile and he says here that, he's never found a rude conservative.  So why are you like going out of your way to portray conservatives as like these angels? Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that you've never met a rude conservative.  But he says, I've never found a rude conservative. It's almost impossible to find. I get nothing but love from conservatives. Do you, Dave? Do you? We all know that you know that that's not true as you were almost brought to tears when your own colleague Glenn Beck said that your homosexuality was comparable to his alcoholism in his family. You've never met a rude conservative though. Now his evidence for that is that he spoke to a crowd of 14,000 people at Liberty University. Whoop-de-fucking-do. I mean, if your evidence for tolerance is that like they didn't call you the f-slur, I mean, I feel like you need more, right? You need more than that. And look, that's an anecdote. And what he doesn't understand is that the extent to which conservatives will tolerate homosexuality is indeed limited. They tolerate it insofar as he uses his identity to whitewash and legitimize homophobia.  But the second you start trying to humanize yourself, talking about your personal life and the fact that you and your husband want to have children, that's when their tolerance dries up. And he saw this firsthand, but he's still saying they're more tolerant than anyone else. You can never find a rude conservative.  I mean, it's embarrassing, it's comical. He also says, people did come up to me and say, I'm praying for you. Now I don't know if they meant praying away the gay or praying for your continued success. Which one do you think it is, Dave? Which one? Now look, to be fair, I was in the evangelical movement growing up. I was a kid, I had no choice, all right? Blame my parents, not me.  But either way, like there were conservatives who would just pray for everyone, right? That's what they do.  Obviously, obviously.  Again, they'll tolerate it to an extent, but they know that that is not the ideal. And as someone who says, you know, right-wing talking points, they would prefer that he were straight. Now, Candice Owens claims, well, even if they were saying that they're like, or even if they were praying away the gay specifically, that's not offensive because they're not threatening to stone him. Is that the standard where it's only offensive if they call for your death?  And Dave Rubin should have pushed back. He knows that that's offensive because what are you doing if you are praying away the gay? Even though praying is meaningless, it doesn't matter, you're talking to yourself. But I mean, the intent there is that they don't think that you are valid as you are. They don't accept you in your current state. They think that you're inherently defective, therefore for you to reach the ideal and be on their status, you have to be straight. And Dave Rubin knows what that means. That means that in order for him to be ideal in their eyes, he'd have to leave his husband.    So it's like, oh, okay.  Loving somebody of the same gender is sinful. To love is sinful. Does that not seem like a contradiction? But again, like don't try to quiz conservatives or Christians about the Bible or try to pretend as if they're consistent because we all know that that's not the case. Moving on, so Dave Rubin actually claims it's not the right, but the liberals, they're the ones who unleashed hate on him because he doesn't bow to them.  You use your status as a member of the LGBTQ community as confirmation that everything that they're doing is acceptable, right? So if the GOP passes laws that are homophobic, you can come out there and say it's not homophobic and then everyone on the right can point to you as evidence that the GOP is not homophobic. Do you understand why that's a problem? You're weaponizing your own identity against your own community. That's why we don't like you. It's not because you don't bow to us. You can disagree with us on economics or healthcare and we'd push back against that. We think that your arguments are silly because Dave Rubin isn't necessarily right. But the reason why you're a target of the left is because it's so insidious what you're doing. You're throwing your own community under a bus for personal advancement and I don't know how you sleep with yourself at night.  He's saying this in the year 2022, in the year of our Lord and Savior. 2022 has been a record-breaking year for anti-LGBTQ plus legislation. This is data from the ACLU as of July 1st. And as you can see, they've placed restrictions on trans athletes, school curriculums, gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth, religious or First Amendment exemptions that allow for discrimination against queer people and more. Now, in July, 10 anti-gay laws targeting schools went into effect. 10, that's double digits. Now, overall, the GOP's censorship crusade, specifically against schools, led to a 250% spike in school gag order proposals with bills more punitive than those introduced in 2021. But he says, nope, they've done a really good job at making it seem as if they're really more accepting of queer people. Really?  Like, that's bad propaganda. Like Tucker Carlson, I hate him, but he does good propaganda, right? He allows for some plausible deniability, concedes some arguments to the left. But Dave Rubin is a bad propagandist, right? What he does is he'll make claims that are so hyperbolic that makes it just seem laughable where nobody can take him seriously. Who's serious anyways?  But overall, for you to claim, oh, lately they've done so great at not being homophobic.  Now, he says he thinks conservatives should take a more libertarian approach on gay issues, but for those who don't, he's not trying to change those people's positions. Now, why would he say this? Well, of course, it's for self-interest.    So he has that level of self-interest, right? He's gay and he doesn't wanna leave that gay lifestyle, but he knows that one day it may come to that where he may not be accepted by this movement. So he's being honest there a little bit, saying I hope that they take a libertarian approach. But of course, I wouldn't try to change those people's opinions. Why? Is that not permissible in conservative circles? I mean, is debate and dialogue the free exchange of ideas which you love apparently, is that not permitted in those circles? They can disagree with you, sure, but why wouldn't you even try to change those opinions?  If you actually think that being conservative entails supporting queer people and being pro-freedom for queer people, then why wouldn't you change their minds? Why wouldn't you try to push them in the correct position or direction, rather? It's because Dave Rubin, he doesn't want to upset the apple cart too much.   So now he has to make it seem as if, oh my God, please accept me. I promise you I'm not trying to change your opinion. I promise you I will bow to you at every step of the way.  Just please let me exist in this space and continue to at least be myself at home. But, you know, that can only be the norm for him for so long considering where they're going. I mean, again, it's getting scary, the rhetoric that the right is using, but yet he's still in this day and age at this time in 2022, denying that there's any issue there. It's truly just, it's embarrassing. It's sick. It's craven. But it's very on brand for a grifter like Dave Rubin.


Hey, this is Brett, and today I'm super excited to go over this brand-new 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. This one's got some really special features on it, including the luxury tech group 2, the black appearance package, the passenger interactive display, as well as the panoramic sunroof Vista Roof on this one. This one also has the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, and it's paired up with the 8-speed automatic transmission. This one's going to get you 26 miles per gallon on the highway 19 city for an average of 22 miles per gallon. Interesting note that the Grand Cherokee, the short version, gets one mile per gallon better fuel economy on both highway and city than the L. I found that interesting. If you haven't seen my videos before, I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, start it up, show you all the options, turn all the lights on at the end of the video, and probably give you the one of the most in-depth walk-arounds on the new Grand Cherokee that you're going to find anywhere.  These are all LED lights on here. I'm going to turn all those on at the end of the video, so definitely stick around for that. The black appearance package also gives you the gloss black on the Jeep lettering on the hood. This one also has the front bumper parking sensors, and we'll get into what that is. Part of them, I'm sure it's part of the luxury tech group, too. Take a look at this Baltic gray paint. It's got a lot of metal flake in it, a lot of blues and some purples and just a really cool color. You better look at it right there. But it's got really fine metal flake, as opposed to like the granite crystal that had a little bit bigger metal flake. So the black appearance group also gives you the 20-inch gloss black wheels, and this one has Pirelli Scorpion 26550R20 tires, and definitely like a highway tread pattern to them. These are Scorpion Verde's, but really nice tires on here and the wheels look really good. You also get the gloss black on the back of the headlights, or back of the mirrors, I should say, as well as the gloss black around the doors and up on the roof rack sill there. So nice bit of styling there. Also, the Grand Cherokee and the American Flag is blacked out on the door there. Let's take a look at the original window sticker. Feel free to pause this. I'm not going to go through everything, but most of it. 2024 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4, Baltic gray metallic clear-coast color, global black interior. You get the Capri Leatherette Access 2 seats, the 3.6, the 8-speed automatic transmission. It does have ESS or electronic start-stop, and also has the Jeep Wave membership, Quadra-Trak 2 system, Quadra-Trak 1 system, I should say, a four-wheel drive, select terrain. Everything here is your standard equipment. Like I said, feel free to pause this if you want to look at everything. You get the Uconnect 5 with the 10.1-inch display, Apple, CarPlay, Android Auto, I believe those are wireless now, and everything right there. The first optional equipment is the Baltic gray metallic, which is a $5.95 option. Thing to note, any color other than white is going to be $5.95. I think maybe like the ivory white might be more, but almost every color is $595. Luxury Tech Group 2 is a $29.25 option. You get the Capri Leatherette Access 2 seats, the ventilated front seats, intersection, collision assist system, park sense front and rear park assist with stop, surround view camera, rain sensitive windshield wipers, rear view auto dimming digital display mirror, rear backup camera washer, integrated off-road camera, manual second-row window shades, which are really nice, automatic dimming exterior driver mirror, door and lift gate passive entry, memory steering column, and power tilt and telescopic steering column.

Three-year 36 bumper to bumper and five-year 60 powertrain. There are your miles per gallon, 26 highway, 19 city, 22 average, five for the greenhouse gas rating, and a seven for the small rating, which seven is closer to the best that you can get than not, and then you get five-star front and side crash test radiance not ready yet for the overall vehicle score or roll over. So very safe vehicles on the Grand Cherokees. There was one I just did that had five stars pretty much up and down the board. So Grand Cherokees, very safe vehicles to haul your family in. There's the passenger side interactive display. I'll turn that on in just a little bit.  The limited Jeep and four by four logos are also gloss black and then this trim piece underneath the reflectors on the bumper is gloss black as well. You also get the backup parking sensors. This is a power lift gate. A lot of room on the Grand Cherokees. One of the Easter eggs that they've done is they have a Grand Cherokee on the window here from the very first version of the Grand Cherokee to the latest model. So that's a pretty cool display I think that they did with those Easter eggs. You get a spare tire back here and jack tools. Get the power lift gate button. These seats do fold down nice and flat. I got that one reclined right now just to show you how that is, how much it reclines compared to the other one. So we'll check that out in just a second. Press that button. It still beeps at you three times and begins its descent on the fourth beat. LED tail lamps as well. Like I said, I'm going to turn all those lights on so you can see just how bright they are. Grand Cherokees all have the capitalist fuel fill. Never get gas on your hands again. And you can tell that it has the enter and go system if it's got these three little lines there. Blind spot monitoring mirrors, heated mirrors, built in directional signals and that gloss black on the back of the mirror. Second row seats. Like I said, they do recline. So like that's the normal position for the seats. And then that's how much they recline. So not a ton, but definitely enough to relax a little bit. Latch child safety system. They have these covers to cover up the latch system. Then it's Velcro that you can put in there. So it sticks. So that's kind of neat. Factory floor mats that button in so they don't move around. You also get two USBs, two USB C's and a 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in as well as heated seat buttons. So these seats are heated on the passenger side and the driver side. You get those sunshades, which are really nice. I wish my van had those for the kiddos, but it doesn't. Wood grain trim on the door and child safety locks on the back doors as well. Go check out the interior here. The luxury tech group too gives you those Capri leatherette access to seats. You get the white stitching on there. They look really good. Really nice material. Both these seats are heated and cooled and driver side lumbar factory floor mats, of course. Auto headlamps, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel part of that luxury tech group too. Power windows locks and mirrors and memory driver seat. Get that nice wood grain trim. It's got a good design to it. Hop inside. Take a look at the instrument cluster and radio. Get the nice 12 inch display up there. Digital speedometer temperature display. You can change all those corners to read pretty much whatever you want. Very similar to the seven inch but bigger and you can do a little bit more with it, including there's like several screens that you can have up like miles per gallon or adaptive cruise control, your off-road pages, what the radio's doing, all that good stuff. So a lot of really cool things that you can do with that instrument cluster has the heated leather wrap steering wheel. They've made the leather on these steering wheels like a really soft touch but it's like firm but soft touch. Really nice leather. They did it on the Wranglers too. I really like the material they're doing the steering wheels with. Hopefully they, it's a, you know, it lasts a while. Durable. Adaptive cruise controls, regular cruise controls. Bluetooth and information center controls and that button puts up those several screens right there. You get audio controls in the back and then you get paddle shifters on there. That's for sport, sport mode with your select terrain system. Here is the Uconnect 5 10.1 inch radio. You can see it does have the factory navigation system and the Uconnect 5 system is supposed to be five times faster than the Uconnect 4 system in regards to the navigation and just switching between apps. Speaking of apps, you get your media center here, AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities as well as Bluetooth auxiliary and USB hookups and Alexa right there.  Get your vehicle with all your different screens on here, including the surround view camera, which is a great system and you can see just how crystal clear those are as well as the backup camera, the wide view of the backup camera, the wide view of the front cam, the narrow view of the front cam and then the normal backup camera, which takes up the full screen. You can zoom in on that back area. If you put a hitch on this vehicle, you can zoom in on that to get hooked up to your bulk camper or trailer. And then you have the off-road trail cam, which you can see those are dynamic grid lines for your tires to see where they're going to go.  So that's pretty cool. And you can clean the camera right there and waste all the windshield washer fluid. So that's pretty cool. And then you get all your different apps on here. And I'm not going to go through everything, but if you guys want me to go through something in particular, just let me know how about you get all these apps for media. You get your comfort apps right there. You get in cooled seat buttons. You get your nav, your phone, your vehicle with the surround view camera and everything. And you can press these stars to make them favorites. And then they'll show up in your favorites menu. And then you get other and sorry about that. And then you also get off-road pages here, which I'll show you those. So you get your steering angle, your transfer case, if it's locked or unlocked, rear axle locker, if it's locked or unlocked, you get your accessory gauges on here as well, pitch and roll. And then select terrain. So that's part of the select terrain system right there. So if I push up, you've got snow, sand mud, auto. And then if you do sport, it takes you to the drag strip. And that's when you can use those paddle shifters on the steering wheel. And then you can go to the front camera as well. You also have latitude, longitude and altitude on there. So a lot of really cool things you can do with that radio down here, your more tactile volume tuning and climb controls, including your more tactile heated and cooled seat buttons and heated steering wheel controls, dual climate controls right there. There's your wireless cell phone charge pad, two USBs, two USB-C's and an aux jack, as well as an HDMI hookup for that passenger screen. And you can see that passenger screen right there. So like if you hooked up a gaming system to that HDMI, you could project it right up there and play video games if you're the passenger. Obviously you can't do that if you're the driver, but if you're the passenger, you could hook that up, plug it into the back, and it's a pretty cool system.  Keyless entry with remote start and power lift gate button. That key fob sits right in here. You've got a spot for it. Sorry, we have our addendum paper in there. Anyways, that sits right like so. And the wood grain trim on the dash there looks really good. This one also has the panoramic sunroof, second row of fixed glass, power sunroof in front. You get your map lights, assistant S, last button.  So that is a video digital display of what's going on behind you. You can raise it, lower it, brighten it, dim it, and you can turn it off and just make it a regular rear view mirror. If you want it, it also is an auto-dimming mirror, but if you like that, you can turn it on or off. All right, let's start it up.
