Every time I see a trailer for a new Transformers film, I tell myself it's going to be good. After all, I like the first one quite a bit.   I have never once referred to myself as the Viper, but I'm willing to move past that. Michael Bay moved right past competent storytelling in the Transformers sequels, specifically Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, and I'm going to describe now why it is the worst in the franchise. And I'm going with Transformers Age of Extinction, so bumblebee ready and strap in for a baitastic beatdown. Wow, Adam, that was a lot of bees.  The human cast has all been changed in TF4, and I miss Shia quite a bit. Where's the LeBeef? Nowhere to be found. Not even a mention. Not even a crumb. That's how you know the writer and director don't give two shakes of a viper's tail about the script. Again, with the Viper. This is the fourth Transformers film, and Bay for some reason thinks nobody cares what happened to any of the humans in the last three flicks. Granted, most of us don't. But the Autobots should. I mean, Bumblebee was basically Shia's Sam Witwicky's household pet by the third one. So taking over the action reigns is Mark say hi to your mother for me, Wahlberg. He plays Cade Yeager, just your run-of-the-mill genius, mechanic bodybuilder with good throwing arm straight out of Texas with a jersey accent. Cade's daughter Tessa will be filling in the role of the Bay hot chick. She'll also be filling in some nice Daisy Dukes for the majority of the runtime. She also gives a wonderful whiny personality and a pension for getting kidnapped. Her boyfriend's even more annoying. He comes straight out of a Fast and Furious movie, and he's rocking an Irish accent. The accent's really important, because otherwise we won't get to hear Wahlberg call him Lucky Charms constantly. What? Are you about finished yet? Actually forgot you were a part of this. Sorry. Not sorry. The bad guys are even worse. There's like six of them. I'm not going to knock Kelsey Grammer or Stanley Tucci though. They worked with what they had. Which was nothing. At least TF4 had commendable award-winning actors.   And while Megan Fox is a fine-looking woman, the degree to which Michael Bay uses her as gratuitous eye candy is downright shameless, and she's reduced to nothing but straddling motorcycles and getting dry-humped by some horny little robot. The rest of the players are pigeon-holed into the story for no discernible reason. Look, I love Kevin Dunn. He's a great character actor and comic relief, but was his inclusion as the bumbling, overbearing father figure really needed here, let alone the mom character? Meanwhile, Jon Tuturo returns as a disgraced ex-agent, and has nothing but a full-on character of his former self, who apparently wears a thong now. Really Bay? Was that necessary? And our soldier friends, Josh Duhamel and Tyree Skipson, might as well be gun turrets, because that's how little emotion or presence they exhibit. But TF2 actually had transformers in it that we cared about? Like number four, that has Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and the head of Megatron. That's the returning cast. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of new transformers in number four. They pop up left and right like f***ing weird Waldo. Jon Goodman's character was the only one I liked, and that's because Jon Goodman voiced him. I don't even know what the transformer's name is, he had the cigar and the beard. There was also a Japanese one, and a third with like a long trench coat. Don't know the names of any of them, don't care. I refuse to research and look up the names, because if I did, I would have put more time than Michael Bay and the screenwriter did into their film. Yeah, Revenge of the Fallen has some of the classics, like Star Scream and Megatron, but at least we forget about those racist robots Skid and Mudflap. Or how about The Devastator, complete with his wrecking balls? That's how we're introduced to one of the coolest Decepticons in the franchise, by a porn shot looking at his metallic testicles. It wasn't enough for Bay to secure one of the oldest monuments in the world to film on. It was a shoot that reportedly made tutorial cry, but he had to go stick a scrotum joke in there too. Oy vey. I'd say this is going to be the rough patch, but we have story coming up in round two.  You know what, I'm not going to talk about this plot because it makes zero sense and has more holes than a teenage boy's sock. Is that a masturbation joke? You've never seen the microwave show, have you, Adam? I hope that wasn't out of line. This show has zero credibility and even less integrity, so no, you're well within reach, much like a bottle of Juergens in a high school student's bedroom.  At one point, a Decepticon disguises himself as a hot college girl in order to do Shy LeBuff.  Why? Why is this happening?  Why does the Decepticon need to get Shia into the sack? Why not just kill him at any given moment? I think it's pretty obvious, John. It's pretty cut and dry. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can resist the charms of Shia. Not man, not woman, not even machine. If Decepticons can transform it to humans, why is this not a regular occurrence? It's just a one-time situation that is never explained or mentioned again.  There's a scene in Transformers 4 where Mark Wahlberg takes a football and defeats a bad guy by throwing it at him, knocking him out the window, and one of the worst green screen effects I've seen in the last 20 years. This happened in a film that went to theaters. In Transformers 2, Shia LaBeefcake dies and goes to robot heaven. Robot heaven. It's hunting season on Transformers. They're all fair game. Bad, good, doesn't matter. They're all dead in the human's eyes. Ironically enough, they've found a mineral which gives them the ability to create their own Transformers. Why? Why would you do that? The best part? The mineral is called Transformium. Transformium. They're not even trying. And they don't have to. They don't have to. Why is Optimus even the leader? He has virtually no qualities of a leader.  He dies like twice in this movie. Optimus Prime?  Am I right? Am I right? He's worse than four.  He needs Walbert's character Yeager to fix him. But not really. All he has to do is scan anything. Anything at all. Conveniently, he goes by a semi-truck, scans it, and he's 100% healed, looking like an entirely different vehicle. What? Hey! Now, reportedly, Bay began shooting TF2 long before the script was even finished. Next to the writer's strike of 2008, he shamelessly even reused his shots from his earlier films like Armageddon and Bad Boys 2. Did you know Transformers 4 was in theaters on the 4th of July weekend? Not sure how you couldn't. There's more American flags in this film than the first three Spider-Man movies combined. This is the worst movie I've seen in the last ten years, and I've seen three Transformers films prior. This is an easy win for Age of Extinction, as giant dino-bots, tons of large-scale city battles, a huge ship that sucks up metal and cool-looking Call of Duty-esque bounty hunters. But I did watch this film while being violently shaken back and forth in a D-Box chair, so perhaps I'm a bit biased. It's three hours long. All it is is explosions and some special effects bombing it out of the screen, halfway through the script stops. The explosions are even sick of themselves.  I don't even remember the action in Revenge of the Fall, and I just rewatched the dumb thing two days ago. Utilizing a near-identical location of that which opened the first film, there's another scene set amongst the rubble and ancient ruins of a small desert city, as well as a half-baked sequence at some unnamed Ivy League college.  I guess Bay just couldn't make up his mind about which thing to shoot on. At least there's variety there. Transformers forest city after city, giant buildings falling all over the place. You don't see this much slow-mo at the Special Olympics. This is a tough one. Obviously the sound effects are very cool. The Transformers make some sweet sounds every time they, well, transform. Plus you've got the loud explosions, guns, and military squawk, all in beautiful slow-motion with crisp and clean surround sound audio. If you want to feel like your ears are being raped, this is one to watch on Blu-ray. You're beating around the bush here, Johnny Boy. Afraid to admit you won this round. Lincoln Park's a superior group to Imagine Dragons, and that's just how it is. Imagine Dragons are the new hotness, as I'm told the kids say.  I'm not going to sugarcoat this. These movies are bad. Plain and simple. Now some of you may like them, may defend them. That's fine. That might be your cup of cock. But at least understand that they're terrible. More like terribly entertaining. As awful as they are, I still enjoy them as a guilty pleasure. But marathoning through all four of them this week felt like someone dropped me in a food processor and repeatedly tried to sell me a Chevy Camaro.  I thought I was done reviewing films for the summer. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. There's no real winner here, as far as I'm concerned. But let's hear what you have to say. Which film is in fact the worst? Or did you love them both? Defend. Tell us why. And John, I want to thank you for coming on, even though it was not the most pleasant of episodes to talk about. Of course, Adam. It was, well, interesting. Anyway, for those who were seeing my ugly face for the first time, you can check out more of my reviews over on my main channel, YouTube.com slash Jogwheel, where I host Movie Night, a weekly show where I critique three to five films each episode, complete with parody sketches, fancy graphics, and audience reviews. But I also produce a bunch of other web shows too, like Gaming Let's Plays, Travel Vlogs, Comedy Sketches, Microwave Experimentation, editing tutorials, and Adam, Adam, did you fall asleep? Oh, God, what? More than just reviews. This is Movie Feuds. Is that where we're at? Hey, hey, do you work here? Call up Michael Bay. I have a great idea for a fifth film. Right, so now, Mark Wahlberg is himself a transformer, OK? So then he has to go back in time and stop Sam Woodwicky from discovering the Allspark in the first film. Anyway, actually, it's on a napkin over there. You can't miss it. I got it all written down.


And I don't want you to look at it only as a job, you have to look at it as a mission, a philosophical undertaking to improve people's lives, not only as a job for salary, you must live it, you must understand it. These people that you see who probably sometimes may be a bit troublesome, they are not them people, they are the people of Saint Lucia who make up Saint Lucia, who want to have the same aspirations as everyone else. The people of Ansari, they want to send their children to school, they want the children to be doctors and lords and economists and farmers and good fisher people. They have the same aspirations, the people of Marchion have the same aspirations, they have the same needs, they have the same feeling. What you must do is give them the same opportunity and this industry, this community program will give them the opportunity.


Dear students, in this topic we shall discuss the transmission or spread of excitation over the heart. Dear students, the cardiac cells are coupled electrically through gap junctions. These gap junctions are the regions of low resistance between the cells. These gap junctions allow the current to flow from one cell to the next. The pacemaker's electrical activity spreads over the entire heart because of these gap junctions. Dear students, we shall have an overview of the path of transmission of excitation over the heart. The excitation that is generated in the sinoatrial node is first transmitted to the atrial myocardium. From atrial myocardium, through the junctional fibers, it is transmitted to the atrioventricular node. From here, the excitation is transmitted to the atrioventricular bundles. From the bundle or bundle of hairs, the transmission occurs to the bundle branches, right and left bundle branches. These bundle branches transmit excitation to the purkinje fibers. These purkinje fibers then transmit excitation to the ventricular musculature. After this brief overview, we shall now discuss the transmission of cardiac impulses through these parts in detail. First of all, we shall discuss the transmission of cardiac impulses through atria. Dear students, the sinoatrial nodal fibers connect directly with the atrial muscle fibers. So the wave of excitation spreads over both the atria in a concentric way. The velocity of conduction in most of the atrial fibers is about 0.3 m per second. However, conduction is rapid in smaller bands of atrial fibers that is about 1 m per second. Dear students, the spread of excitation from atrial musculature to atrioventricular node occurs through small junctional fibers. These junctional fibers form inter nodal pathways. These inter nodal pathways include an anterior interatrial band and three small bands which curve through the anterior, middle and posterior atrial walls. Dear students, the velocity of wave of excitation in junctional fibers is very low, that is about 0.05 m per second. This slowness causes a delay in the conduction of impulse to the ventricles. This delay is very significant because it allows atrial contractions to precede ventricular contractions. Before ventricular contractions, the atrial contractions become complete and it allows the time for blood to move from atria into the ventricles. Now we shall discuss the conduction of impulse or excitation through the bundle of his and the bundle branches to the purkinje fibers and to the myocardial cells of ventricles. The bundle of his, its branches and purkinje fibers deliver the wave of excitation to all regions of ventricular myocardium. The conduction is rapid. The conduction is rapid through the bundle of his and purkinje fibers that is about 4 to 5 meter per seconds.


Municipal officials are responsible for providing safe roads for the traveling public. Filling potholes, cutting brush, erecting warning signs, and clearing away ice and snow are some of the things road crews do every day to make roads safe. There is another valuable practice for promoting highway safety, setting speed limits. It is the job of the public official to establish a speed limit, which, as stated in the Uniform Vehicle Code, is reasonable and safe for a given section of roadway. Of course, drivers have to do their part, unless not operate motor vehicles at a speed greater than is reasonable and proper for the prevailing conditions such as snow and ice, fog and darkness. How do you determine what is a reasonable and safe speed? By conducting a traffic engineering survey, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and State Law authorize the governing body of a municipality to set speed limits on public highways under its jurisdiction. Sometimes there is a temptation by local officials to set a uniform speed limit for all town roads and let it go at that. Or, they often face considerable pressure by residents to change speed limits. You should not ignore their concerns, of course, but conducting a traffic engineering survey gives you information to face judgments about speed limits on facts and not on guesses or political pressure. A traffic engineering survey allows you to carefully consider the characteristics of each road and its surrounding features. You then have the information you need to make a reasonable judgment in assigning a speed limit that is reasonable and safe. Conducting a traffic engineering survey does not mean you have to be an engineer, but you do have to conduct a survey. There are six factors to consider in conducting a traffic engineering survey. They are road characteristics, the 85 percentile speed or pace speed, roadside development and access, curves and hazardous locations, pedestrian activity and parking practices, and accident history. The first of the criteria is to consider the road itself. Consider such things as the type of surface, the condition of the shoulder, the road's alignment and sight distance, the width of the road and the number of lanes. Determine the maximum grade and the degree of critical curves. Steep roads and sharp curves usually require slower speeds. As you travel the road, look for these and other characteristics and record the information on the form. The second factor is to monitor the speed at which vehicles are traveling. You do this by determining the 85th percentile speed or pace speed. Survey a minimum of 100 vehicles. In fact, surveying exactly 100 vehicles makes it easier to calculate percentages. Determine the speed at or below which 85 percent of the sample of free-flowing vehicles are traveling. This is the 85 percentile speed. The pace speed is similar. It is the 10 mile per hour band of travel speeds containing the largest number of observed vehicles. On low volume roads, instead of gathering a sample of 100 vehicles, you might use several time runs and estimate the speed. A third consideration is to look for roadside development and culture. Is it a densely residential area? A commercial area with many driveways entering the highway. A school zone? A trailer park? Or is it rural farmland? Considering the type and the density of development along the road will help you to determine a reasonable and safe speed for those conditions. The fourth factor is to determine the safe speed for curves or other hazardous locations within the zone such as intersections. You can determine the advisory speed for a curve by driving the section in a conventional automobile. Make several passes along the centerline of the travel lane at constant speeds, increasing the speed by five miles per hour on each pass. Select the speed that allows you to negotiate the curve safely and comfortably without excessive braking or feeling a concern for safety. Determine the maximum safe speed for approaching an intersection based on the stopping site distance. Refer to the handbook for assistance. Use a black-on-yellow advisory speed plate placed below the warning sign to indicate the safe speed. The advisory speed plate cannot be the same or higher than the posted speed limit. A fifth consideration is to record the parking practices and pedestrian activity in the area. Record whether parking is on the roadway or off-street. Is parking controlled by signs or markings or meters? Make a note about pedestrian activities. Higher pedestrian activity may require a lower speed. The sixth and final factor is to record the reported accident experience for a recent 12-month period. High accident experience may indicate a need to moderate the speed limit. On the form, note any other features that may influence traffic movement. With the data you have collected using the six criteria, you will have information to determine a proper speed for the road under consideration. For each road, you are trying to answer the question, what is the reasonable and safe speed for this particular road? A reasonable and safe speed is one that gives a driver time to react and stop or slow down sufficiently to avoid potential conflicts while driving at a comfortable speed. No one of the criteria by itself determines reasonable and safe. To make an informed decision, you must consider all six criteria together. Once you have decided the speed limits for your streets and highways, you must pass a regulation making them official municipal policy. Do this by including them in a speed limit ordinance or traffic ordinance. The ordinance makes the speed limits legal and enforceable. And you have passed the speed limit. It is important to follow all the steps accurately when adopting an ordinance. When people challenge speed limits in court, they may raise questions of authority and whether speed limits were established properly. Refer to the handbook for procedures to adopt an ordinance. Posting signs is the next step. The MUTCD has guidelines for the proper heights, distances and reflectivity for signs to be effective. Do not use speed zones to warn motorists of hazardous conditions. On rural roads, for example, avoid posting speed limits, say from 40 to 30 to 35 to 45 back to 30 and so on. Rather, try to establish one speed limit and use advisory speed plates as needed for curves, hills and other hazardous conditions. Keeping streets and highways safe is a big responsibility. Setting reasonable and safe speed limits based on a traffic engineering survey is an important part of that duty. In addition to this videotape, refer to the handbook Setting Speed Limits. The handbook has several forms, references to statutes, a model ordinance and other useful information. If you have questions about setting speed limits, call Vermont Local Roads or the Vermont Agency of Transportation.


An up and down rollercoaster ride from Imidji volleyball this season. They started 3-0 then dropped 5 of their next 7, but now winners of 2 straight. Also helps getting back home, only played there once since the first month of the year. Good news, 3-0 defending home court though and have Thief River falls tonight. And they start fast in the first and a fall door from Addie Colligan. Kaboom, jacks up by 5. And one of the seniors, Lexi Wade, set up on the outside and she hammers it down. 25-18, Imidji takes the set, then more in the second. Another senior, McKenna Quinn, can I get an ace? That's an ace, everything working for the blue. Then Colligan puts the icing on the cake. You have to be ready for this, extremely dangerous. Nice placement, nicely done. Jacks win their third straight match. They say perfect at home, 3-0. The final.

boobs on right now but it's backless I just got this dress from meshki I wasn't even planning on wearing it with the black tights and black heels but that's just what I tried on before and I kind of like it like paired with this and then the black coat I feel like I will wear this dress so many other times like I would wear this and often I'm going to Coachella like I would wear this to Coachella the bathing suit underneath you know I'd wear this to stage coach this bathing suit and how it is what I would do but I feel like to make this more winter I'm gonna wear like a black coat with it call it a day I can't see myself like it's totally mesh so like I do need to wear tights I just think it's so fun you know they're shiny shimmery such a good dress the quality is incredible I just love it guys I am dressed like a literal teddy bear this is the best thing ever I'm obsessed this coat is revolve this is Zara and if I need to I can layer more I'm gonna wear this from Paris to Amsterdam we're taking a three-hour train ride and then we're just gonna walk around later so I figured that well I don't know because we were in Paris that morning I'm not I'm I can't imagine that we're actually gonna like do things in Paris we'll probably have nothing to eat I don't know it's really cute I've got to decide okay this is my Paris look during the day I might wear the beanie to I won't have my hair pulled back when I wear the beanie I just have my black trench coat on this sweater which is cropped and I didn't realize that so I will bring another one it's backed up that is a crop and then I have the okind scarf and beanie and part of me is like I kind of want to wear the pink and I'm not normally like a pink with black sort of girl like I like white and pink so I feel like I mean as cute oh my god it's so cute wait it's like really really really cute but I want to wear the gray as well I don't want every single photo to be in this pink scarf you know I might wear the puff bag with this oh my god it's like so cute oh my god um so surprise surprise these drop later in January can't take myself seriously with my hair pull back I wish I had earmuffs like I'm killed for earmuffs I'll buy some while I'm there anyways this outfit is super cute I recall me pants Prince of Polly turner neck mango jacket and then I have my Prada loafers and I'll have the puff bag this is cute with it too actually very cute with it but I think I'm gonna want the puff bag so I'm gonna want my big vlog camera so I don't know vote in the comments what you guys think it's really just gonna come down to how many outfits I style the pink stuff with and how many up with the style the gray so for now I'm gonna stick to the gray because I will have other ones for the pink okay I was kind of unsure of this one just because I feel like it's almost like a little too casual I don't know how I feel about this actual sweater underneath but I am gonna have other long sleeves that I can alternate also I'm like what do we is it yeah the pinks kind of clash I guess something about this we're going back to the wrong word give me a second okay I'm kind of thinking I just fixed what was off about the outfit oh yeah cuz it's colorful yeah I definitely like this ignore how this okay and it's literally sidewall wow whoo imagine my long blonde hair this is much better and I'm definitely very into this and it's so pink and I love it I'll be wearing my puff bag this day which I can't wait until we have colors and are like black and harsh with this just because I feel like the there's one that we have coming out that would be too actually that would be perfect but the puff bag is my favorite and it's only in the carries everything so we'll be wearing the puff bag with this which is still gonna be really cute I'm happy now okay so this outfit I'm not as like thrilled about either it's just kind of boring I wear the black with it or like I don't know I'm just trying to do like a brown look but I'm like that's another scarf that I have to bring so that would actually just kind of be a pain I might actually I think boring much more than that but oh you know what oh yep this is it the gray scarf completes it it looks so much better now cute so this is gonna be just like a chill London day layering up mittens all that stuff I pretty much decided the Hill House puffer is not going on this trip just this stuff but yeah this is cute I'm worried it's gonna be not warm enough but I do have other layers that I can add and I can wear it out if I need to realize I didn't dress night outfits for Amsterdam and I decided like I'm semi dressing up for like every dinner so I feel like we're gonna be out in like whatever you know I have my coat on from revolve this dress is actually also revolve I'm gonna be wearing tights underneath obviously I might sort of be back on then I have my favorite kitten heels to element I mean being bad just like more fun you know night look for Amsterdam I have this cute little top on that I think adds so much but if it's too cold I just always wear black long stitch or not I mean it being a bag obviously for a coat just making sure I'm getting you set of everything I'm bringing but this is like so cute like this is so fun I have these kitten heels that are literally saving me for your up and I just love it I'm sorry guys like this is such a look I this was randomly thrown together and I'm obsessed like if I don't wear it now I will be wearing it another time it's just so fun I love it so fun okay I only have two more fits to choose minus my travel fit which is going to be two days in London this is for some reason becoming difficult for me so I need to figure it out I like cannot take myself seriously with this beanie okay this is a really bland kind of boring it's simple outfit but I feel like it matches London like just a chill day yes I'm wearing hugs I can wear the prana loafers if I'm feeling it I probably wear the beanie as well and then obviously the puff bag but I think like I think this is like what I'm ready to go with because it's just cozy I can layer up I can get cosier like I can just be really warm so this is what we're gonna go with it's nothing crazy but this is the fit I know I said I don't typically like black and pink there's something about it in this outfit that I do like I don't know what it is I'm just maybe it's just because it reminds me of like childhoods like I don't like it anymore I don't know even though I wear like most of the stuff I wore as a child I don't know what it is but like I actually do like it with this fit so I'm wearing the Prada loafers the Abercrombie pants the only thing that sucks is that feel like these pants are gonna get stretched out and obviously I won't be able to wash them but it'll be fine really cute and I'm supposed to be buying I have this my eye on this like pink Saint Laurent bag and ideally I would buy it in this outfit because I matched the bag you know or I'd at least be able to wear it with it it's so cute puff bag would look incredible with this like I just love it I'm in so I think I'm done with my outfits I will pack one loungy outfit just in case I'm like running to do something that I don't want to get dressed and then I have pajamas and we're gonna move on to other stuff we have the outfits done okay so I have everything out there I'm packing four extra just like long sleeve t-shirts as basics I have a list as well I'm just like miscellaneous closet things that I need and I'm making a list of products and stuff once I start moving into that but first off I'm gonna go through like socks underwear bras all that stuff and just make sure I have it all do for lounge even though it doesn't really make sense because I should be wearing my thickest stuff but I have these sweatpants that are from airy and they're like not flattering and not like super cute by any means but they are so comfy and then I just have this long sleeve gray shirt so it's like really not super cute I'm just gonna keep it light underneath because I'm gonna have to obviously wear probably my big fur coat I'm

Ie, I do research, I do a huge amounts of data research and in doing that I use lots of computers. The computers we have today, very...we like to make ourselves a victim too much sometimes.

Because AI is not intelligent, it just matches data. It can match streams which aren't entirely true. This is the problem with AI, it fuses data and it isn't necessarily always correct. Why do I know this? Because I do this. This is the process I do. This is the one I produced in 2015 called the Fraggigram. This is what data fusion does. I do data fusion. If you go to my website, you can get this diagram. This is anybody in the fraggian industry in Britain. This is all the politicians and these lines are connecting them either for financial, for PR, for academic, whatever. There's two and a half thousand pieces of information in that diagram. It was out of date about a week after I did it. The idea of AI is, and data fusion, it will be updated instantaneously. Every time a new piece of data comes in, it will be updated. That's how they believe they can foretell the world.  That's how it works. We won't see this tomorrow because this is from the top of the hill opposite Crown. It is the best place to see the site, but we couldn't get the bus up there. Now, we have the communications centre, which is Tower, and this is the intelligence centre. In there, linked to the computers, that's where they run the operations at Crown. With the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex, what they will be doing is running large amounts of databases. Why? As I said, they're abstracting data. It's huge quantities of data. They can't do that in real time. What they have to do is collect huge amounts of data beforehand for months, if not years. They feed all that data into their big machine learning or AI system, and it learns patterns and it produces those analyses, those lovely pictures, which allow them to view the world. That means that they have to surveil everybody all of the time using as much of the data as they can get. They have to do it, and they can't pick and choose data. They can't decide if we're going to be in Djibouti next week, so we will look at Djibouti now. They have to look at Djibouti all the time, collect data all the time, just in case they need to be in Djibouti. That's the problem with this. They have to collect lots of data, and if you're collecting lots of data all of the time, you need communications links.   This is the European North African grid. This is from some documents that came out about 10 or 12 years ago. It's about Siphanet and Niphanet. It's the Defence Communication System. There are these cables that go across the Atlantic. These cables are everywhere. There are a million miles of fiber-optic cable going round the planet right now. This is a book that was published in 1980 called Technology and Political Control. This book describes technology developed to wage campaign, which is neither conventional war nor policing. That is what we have now with drones and with data being used for students to strike and to track people down and follow them or at least have influence. The thing about cyberspace and particularly data-matching and all that data fusion is, it tells you whatever you want to hear. It's something that one of these senate investigation subcommittees looked at 10 years of experience of data fusion and they produced a report in 2012. Their report was quite clear. It has produced no intelligence of any value. It's skewed. We think the people running these centres are telling us lies because we can't validate anything they say. Oh, but we should keep doing it because it answers their question. It gives them some idea that they have agency in the world. There's some lovely reports coming out now about... We're at the birth of AI now. We're at the stage where AI actually means something for the first time since Azimov discussed it in the 1950s. The latest one was IBM's debater. Had a debate with somebody and was judged to have... Well, not one, but one, one and last one, it drew. IBM debater, why does it need to debate? Debate is a way of trying to critically assess evidence and as quickly as possible give a response. Why do they need a machine to do that is because they need to automate the process of data processing.  That's because if you feed it a certain type of data, you get the answer that data indicates. We're not dealing with intelligence, we're dealing with patterns. But what 10, 15 years of data fusion in America tells us was some really good works for the ACLU. You get a system that digests large quantities of data as the Senate subcommittee said much of it is erroneous data. But it targets anti-war activists. It targets environmental activists. It targets all those people who the people running the system really don't like. There's this lovely paper that came out a few years ago in a journal called Surveillance in Society, which is not a page turn, but the prominent role of domestic security services over the past generation has been to completely remove the distinction between policing and information collection. Over the past decade, this tendency has become unmistakable as a result of a frenzied privatisation of state security under the guise of home and security. In the bargain, a new agency of political surveillance has arisen the fusion centre. This phenomenon is a medium of low privatisation and assault on ever-sharing civil liberties in an ever more militarised, ever more insecure society. That is the conclusion of that 1980 book, The Technology of Political Control. And it arrived at that conclusion in 1980, not from a detailed analysis of the technology, but from the people who are commissioning it. Because if you build a system, you tend to build your own prejudices into it. Crown is just one of many sites. All sites have been influenced by this data-centric operation idea. They're all becoming more intrusive, they're all becoming more invasive for civil liberties, of privacy and a freedom of expression by the menace that they create in society, the idea that everyone is being watched. The big one is that because these data centres don't work within any more place, they're a network, they can actually route data by a pre-selected set of ideas to avoid certain legal jurisdictions. So they're able to infect me to operate outside the law. And because of this parallel development to the corporate world, there is no distinction between civil and military law. There is no dual use, it's all one machine. And for that reason, as peace activists, you've got to start talking to privacy activists. You've got to start talking to people who worry about freedom of expression. That is how we build the peace and conflict message. Not by trying to find interests amongst people who are interested in peace and conflict, but people who are interested in privacy, in expression, in surveillance, in civil liberties, in democracy. Because that is what this system is there to influence, is there to create. And so what create this to me now, it's an exemplar of the problem of an unaccountable, opaque system of government. And if we would deal with it as that, not as just weapons of war, but actually as a system that doesn't work anymore, as we heard somebody say earlier, it's a system that doesn't work, not democracy, it's the politics that arises from it. Then we can make the peace message via all those other people.


Olea gels are a type of fat-based emulsion used in food production to replace saturated or trans fats. They have been studied extensively over the past decade due to their potential health benefits. This review summarizes the latest research on olea gels, including their physical characteristics, applications, and consumer acceptance. This article was authored by Simona Pertocrissan, Claudio Stefan Ersaci, Bianca Denisa Cioragi, and others.


This was taken at Yale University in 2015.  And this was the aftermath of an email that Erica Christakis had sent out suggesting to students that they can police themselves when it comes to what is or is not an offensive Halloween costume. This is all a kind of strange thing, but I want to play two clips. So this is from 2015 at Yale where Nicholas Christakis, you know, a very highly esteemed professor, a baby boomer has gone out to talk to students. And let's watch this. All right, so Gene, let me ask you just when you, you know, and I'm sure you, I'm sure that this first made the rounds among faculty members at universities.  Well, I mean, I remember that time there was certainly a lot of discussion on campuses among faculty members.  There was, you know, it was this realization that what we thought the rules were, were no longer true. That we thought the rules were that the university is a place to have open discussion. And yes, we want to be respectful of each other. And yes, we want to be respectful of, you know, people of different backgrounds, but we should be able to discuss things. And that was around the time that a lot of people started to become afraid that they would say, one thing in class and get fired. Yeah. So has that changed a bit on campus for you, do you think? Has that proceeded a little bit? Yeah. No, I think it's pretty much still there. And can I ask, is that, how does that affect the way, you know, not your research per se, because that takes place outside of the classroom, you know, although it's all connected, but how has that changed the way you teach? Um, it hasn't really changed the way that I teach, although I did start to think twice about, I mean, I teach psychology and, So there's never anything controversial or touchy going on, right? I mean, right, you know, and so I think I just had to go on, look, I'm going to present the research, do it respectfully, but I'd always tried to do that. So it didn't really completely change that the way that I did things, but it did, I did definitely, and I know I can speak for a lot of other people have had this experience too, it did have a chilling effect. It had the effect of being scared to talk about certain things, of just worrying about it, of worrying about if this goes wrong, you know, what could happen? Will my department back me up if we have a discussion that goes sideways even, because it's these types of things that happen. So I think a lot of faculty members, you know, have watched those news stories coming out over and over and over, and we pay a lot of attention to them because we try to figure out what went wrong. And you know what, sometimes you can take an object lesson out of the things that you read about.  I do, a very close friend of mine is an English professor, a full professor who is one of probably maybe half a dozen people who occasionally teaches Amory Baraka, a black poet and playwright and author. And in his work, he was LeRaw Jones for part of the sixties became Amory Baraka. His work is filled with the N word and it is absolutely provocative. And one semester she was teaching a class in that and a student, not even a student of color objected and the response was, okay, well, I'm not going to teach Amory Baraka anymore. And so you get this weird experience where it's like, you know, somebody who was on the margins of the contemporary canon is now just not gonna be taught, which I don't think anybody would say, oh, that's, it's an understandable outcome. It's not a good one. Liz, what were your undergraduate years from when to when? Do I have to say?  Yeah, would you have ever in your life thought of screaming at a professor like that, even if they had like hit you with a baseball bat? No, but I do think that some of these trends were starting even back then. Like I got into a lot of fights in this one English class with this woman who was upset about some things I said about her like, her querying of my Antonea. And so she told the professor that I made her feel unsafe in class and we had to both come into his office and like discuss how I was making her feel unsafe. And then that was the language used. So I think that this, it was definitely not as prevalent but I think that this sort of, you know, language around like words making people feel unsafe and ideas making people feel unsafe was starting to percolate even back then. Yeah, for sure. Jane, when were you in grad school? In the 1990s. And so, yeah, so that's when I started teaching and I'll tell you, nobody ever said that. The idea of like, oh, we can't discuss this because it is unsafe. That was, nobody ever talked about that. That is a very, that is a new concept. Yeah, and it's kind of fascinating. My grad school, I was in undergrad. So Liz, you are forever young in comparison to me. I was in undergrad from 81 to 85, I went to grad school in the late 80s through the early 90s in an English department that was a hotbed of post-structural theory and the idea of making people unsafe was kind of the whole point in lecture. And that's why you would invoke various kinds of post-modern or post-structural thinkers was to make everybody unsafe. And to their credit, the professors kind of gave as good as they got. Jane, do you know when the rhetoric of safety or where an invocation of me feeling unsafe became a thing? And is that related to one of your earlier books about narcissism? I'm curious. It doesn't really follow the same trajectory as the changes in narcissism. I think it is more likely to be rooted in this, well, probably a combination of the slow life strategy and individualism. But with the slow life strategy and the slower development, parents tend to make the choice to have fewer children and nurture them more carefully. So then you start emphasizing safety a lot more then kids take longer to grow up. And so one of the analyses I did for the book was to look in the Google Books Database, great resource, and you can look at the change in phrases like stay safe. And didn't really change a lot until starts to go up 1990. So these are things that really started with millennials in terms of just a lot more protection, a lot more emphasis on safety. And then they kept going even more with Gen Z that it was kind of mission creep because at first it was let's protect kids from physical dangers. Then it became let's protect kids from ever failing. And then it became let's protect kids from ideas or teenagers or young adults of that safety is not just physical safety, it's emotional safety. I don't wanna be uncomfortable, I don't wanna be in the situation where someone else agrees with me. And then it wanders into the most controversial part of language that's offensive and the places where I think a lot of people can agree to disagree where maybe we shouldn't have a KKK guy come to campus, that's kind of true. But then where do you draw that line? And who's to say that any of us is the one who knows where that line should be drawn? Yeah, although is it also fair to say, and I'm thinking back to college in the 80s, you would always have every year, I went to Rutgers as an undergrad and every year they had a different CIA, former CIA director come to talk to campus and every year they would be protested because they were horrible human beings, some of them worse than others, but then they also had trolls, right?  It seems like that's a more common thing. I mean, there's, I think college campuses should be totally wide open for all kinds of speakers, but when you invite somebody like Milo Yiannopoulos, he is not an intellectual, he has nothing meaningful to say, which became clear once he was allowed to actually speak. He didn't really have anything interesting to say, but it's not simply that kids are snowflakes, right? It's also true that different parts of campus are like, let's bring in the most insane, ridiculous out there speaker, that might be part of it, right? Yeah, and I really hate the whole snowflakes label on so many levels. Partially as a psychologist, it's like, I think that's often used for people who actually have depression or real mental health issues and like, let's not make fun of that, okay? Plus it is nuanced. It is something where we're gonna have a wide spectrum of opinions about this because yeah, someone like Milo is just a product here. He's just trying to make people mad. He doesn't actually have anything to say. And so when people say that person or as I mentioned, somebody who is gonna advocate for the KKK or something like that, that's maybe in a different category. But then the idea of someone who is further to the right or further to the left shouldn't come to this campus and we shouldn't have a discussion where it is a more serious intellectual discussion of ideas, I think that's where most people, especially Gen Xers and Boomers, start to say, well, wait a second, what are we doing here? Are we really gonna say that we can't have these folks come to campus? And if they do, if you don't like it, don't go to the talk or go to the talk and ask challenging questions. We don't have to disinvite them. We don't have to have a safe space where if this offends you, you can go. There's other solutions to this. I think that's what a lot of Gen Xers and Boomers would argue anyway. That was an excerpt from my interview with Liz Nolan Brown of Reason and Gene Twenge, author most recently of Generations.

And make sure to come back every Thursday at 1pm Eastern time when Reason is talking to people with something very interesting to say that you definitely wanna hear.


The guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mr. Destric Attorney, one of the programs selected to be rebroadcast or armed forces overseas, is brought to you by Vitalis and Ipana, two famous Bristol Myers products for the protection of good looks. For hair that's well groomed, it's Vitalis and the 60-second workout. For a smile that sparkles, it's Ipana toothpaste and massage. And it shall be wondered who he is, Mr. Destric Attorney. Not only to prosecute for the limited amount of all persons accused of crimes, perpetrating within this county, but to defend the equal figure of rights and privileges of all its citizens. The night story begins in a small walk-up apartment in your district attorney's city. At supper time, and a young couple are at the table talking. Rocket was here again. You got any more bread? Well, he said he'd be back. He should have made some gravy for this. I said he's coming back, Eddie. I heard you the first time. Well? I'll be out. Where are you going? No place. I'm just out if he comes back. Why? Oh, Ruthie, I told you ten times. I don't want to have anything to do with Rocket. Sure. You don't want to have anything to do with Rocket. You don't care. You don't care about making more money, real money. Look, look. You want me to finish my supper?  I don't care what you do. I don't want to hear any more about Rocket. That's too bad. Ruthie. You're gonna hear. Your great friend, Joe Herndon, went to work for Rocket today. And you know what he's making? A hundred and fifty a week. During what? The same thing you are. Not for that, Joe. Why not? It don't add up. Good mechanics are hard to get. It don't add up. I make sixty-five dollars in a big plant. Rocket's got a back alley joint. How can he pay so much? Well, he's just open. Maybe he wants to make sure it goes. Don't add up.  This place is a war plant. Oh, good. Well, what if it isn't? What if there is something phony about it? What do you care? It's a chance to make money. We're doing all right. Oh, yeah. We're doing fine. Us and the roaches? Are you going to be a sucker all your life? Are you going to live in a dump like this all your life?    You're welcome here. Yeah. Great for her to be brought up in a hole like this without room to breathe. All right. All right. All right, all right, darling. Pour yourself some coffee, Eddie. There you are. Now go to sleep, Eddie. That is going to sleep, darling. You want some? No. I'll stick to the champagne. Great place to bring up a kid, freezing in winter, boiling in summer, crawling with dirt the whole year. Is that rocket? Yes. Take the kid. Well, tell him you're out. No, no, no. No, I'll see him. Oh, what is this? What's the matter, Eddie? What is this? What are we doing here, Joe? What's this all about? Hey, you got me. Rocket said he wanted a mechanical nuke calibration. So for two days I'm monkeying around on this machine. You can't use it for anything. Can't use any of these machines for anything. Why do you care, Eddie? We're getting paid, ain't we? You get paid more, too, boys. Oh, hello, Mr. Rocket. What do you mean we get paid more? Well, an extra 25 a week. The start, you might say. The start what? Yeah, you're right about these machines, Eddie. They're not much good for anything. But, uh, you boys come out in the back. I'll show you some that are. Oh, I don't know. There was a bag to the place, Mr. Rocket. Well, this room is really just for appearances. Sure room, he might say. But in the back, help me move this cabinet, will you? It's not very heavy. No, just a screen to cover this door. Smart machines. Yep. See what the trouble is? You mean somebody could win by luck for once. They were pretty banged up when we got them. They look all right now. They are on the outside. The machinery's all off. Until at six. And that's where we come in? That's right. Is this your war plant, Mr. Rocket? You might say. Count me out. No, Eddie. Count me out. Where are you going? Back right, Chamberlain. Eddie. You know, you can make 175 here. Work is easy, the hours are short. I'll take 65 and overturn. When? What do you mean? You know the manpower laws, Eddie. You left a war job and you can't take another for three months. What? He's right, Eddie. Well, for three months, you might just as well work here and make some easy money. I don't bother about manpower laws. I think you're kind of stuck, Eddie, you might say. I don't know, Miss Miller. I just don't know. You just don't know what, Harrington? This manpower shortage. We know there's a real shortage. How can people quit their jobs now? Well, I guess they think the war is almost over. Are they crazy? Either that or it's wishful thinking. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning, Chief. I have some work from both of you. That's a surprise. What kind of a case is it, Chief? Robbery. Who was robbed? The city's storage yard. What? That's right. It happened a few days ago, but unfortunately, it wasn't brought to my attention until this morning. What on earth would anybody steal from the city's storage yard? Slot machine. Uh-oh. All those machines we confiscated have been taken before there was time to convert them to scrap. Well, I guess that means we'd better get on to look on, huh? They'll be popping up again all over town. Yes, I'll get them before they redistribute them. How are you going to do that, Chief? Machines aren't any good. They have to be fixed. And that takes skilled mechanics, huh? Exactly. They're very hard to get these days. Well... I have a list here of war plants where they employ mechanics who couldn't be used to fix slot machines. Now, won't you both check these plants to find out if any men have quit recently? And if they have? Find out what they're doing now. Great. I haven't got very much for you, Chief. It's too bad, Miss. There were five of these mechanics that left in the last ten days. Two of them are out because they're sick, and the other three have left town all together. Hi, Chief. Oh, Hang on. May I look? No. Can you find two of these guys who had quit? Uh-huh. One second, the other's not working. How'd you make up, Miss Miller? Not much better, Harrington. Well, I guess we're at the dead end of that one. Well, maybe my idea wasn't so good after all. Oh, Chief? Yes. I don't know. I thought I had something, but I didn't. Then neither of you see any of these men? Huh? No. No, I called them up to. So did I. You know, because of the Manpower Commission, the chances are they wouldn't save them. They had a new job even if they had one. Oh, hey. That should be right. Sure. I don't wonder if they're really sick. Oh. Well, say those two you reported on, Miss Miller. What were their names? Um, let's see. One was Joe Hangden, and the other was Eddie Lang. Oh, well, if they're not sick. Hey, you got an idea there, Chief. Well, Hang on, first you'd wrap around and find out. Right. But more important, find out if they're spending more money than they used to. Yes. Mrs. Eddie Lang? Yes. My name's Johnson. I'm from the Acme Auto Company. Can I come in? Yes. Thank you very much.  At your service, ma'am. So I'd really like to see your husband. My husband? That's right. I get these working, though, huh? At this time of day? Yes. That is... What? He would be except he's sick. Oh, that's too bad. Yes, he's gone to see the doctor.  Well, what did you want to see him about? Oh, nothing, nothing. My company's got some wonderful second-hand cars that we can sell now, real cheap, and on the installment plan, too. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, only fifty bucks a month. Of course, with your husband's sick, I get fifty dollars a month. There's a lot of money to you. I've always wanted a car. Oh, is that so? Well, maybe when your husband gets better, you'll... Mr. Johnson. Huh? We have some money saved up. Oh, Mrs. Lang, I... I wouldn't want to touch your saving time. Oh, it's quite a bit. As a matter of fact, we just bought this couch the other day. You did? Uh-huh. Hey, that's a real fine piece of furniture. Yes, isn't it? Well, maybe your husband would be interested in a car, then. Well, I think so. Yeah? Well, suppose I drop around tomorrow morning? Well, Eddie, he likes to sleep late, and then he usually goes for a walk to the doctor. But he's always here suppertime. I see.  You'll be sure to get him then. Okay, I'll get him then. Hello? Oh. Yes, yes. How are you? Good. Do you want me to bring him in? No, no. I want to find out where they're working, and who's with the head of it. Oh, good morning. Yes. And when you find out where they go, call me, and I'll have the place rated. Oh, this one's working okay, Eddie. Yeah. Yeah, against suckers like us. You'll never catch me near one again. All right, let's get it to the next. I'd like to leave him just as they are. Ah, no, Eddie. Don't hand me that stuff again about all the dough we're making. Well, we are, Eddie. Yeah. What happens when they catch up with us, Joe? How's anybody going to catch up with us? Well, suppose they do.  You can suppose anything if you want to. Well, we're making dough, Eddie, so let's enjoy it. All right, come on, let's test this. Don't touch that. What? What's the matter, Mr. Ruckin? That's a lie. What's up? We have visitors out front. Oh, the police. Police.  Why don't you hit them off? Why should I talk to them? They know you want them to join anyway. Oh, I think I put it in my name, then. If they come back. They're walking right up here. Is your cabinet in front of the door? Yes, just keep still.  Why don't we go out the back stairs, because they probably... Joe, we have clumsy stuff. Well, we know we're here now. We've got to get out. Come on. Yeah. What about us? What about us, you jerk? Come on. Never mind. Here we are. Up this way. Hurry.  All right, nothing. Copy. What are you standing there for? Come on. Joe, come on, Eddie. Joe, look at him. Listen, Eddie. He climbed his head against that pipe, Joe. He's dead. Well, if he is, then we've got to get out of here. If Eddie's suspicions are right, if the police officer is dead, your district attorney is faced with another serious problem. We'll hear the new developments in just a moment. But first, a footnote on colors. Green stands for envy. Yellow stands for cowardliness. And pink must stand for romance, judging from all my pink Valentine cards. Well, perhaps. Though pink certainly doesn't stand for romance when it's pink on your toothbrush. Now, that calls for a quick trip. Where? A trip to your dentist. He may say your gums are sensitive. And like so many dentists, he may suggest a helpful stimulation of ipanna toothpaste and gum massage. Is that so? Yes, a 1944 survey carefully conducted by impartial authorities reveals that seven in 10 dentists advise regular gum massage. Also that twice as many dentists personally use ipanna as any other dentist. Gum massage and ipanna. Yes, a winning smile and sparkling teeth depends so much on healthy gum. And today's soft foods often fail to give our gums the exercise they need to stay firm and strong. So help give your gums that exercise with ipanna and massage.  Remember, for firmer gums, brighter teeth, a more sparkling smile, start now to use ipanna toothpaste and massage. Now back to Mr. District Attorney. No words from the hospital yet, Chief. Oh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. That cop never did regain consciousness, did he? No. His skull was badly fractured. What are his chances of pulling through? Very slim, the doctor said. If he dies? There's a murder charge. Chief, I wish you'd let me pick up Lang and Herndon. I told you Herndon... Yeah, I know, but if that poor guy dies... Lang and Herndon are being watched. They can't get away. I want to find out who their boss is or was. Well, we could question them, Chief. We could find out. Well, maybe, but maybe this way and they'll lead us to whoever he is. I just keep thinking of that poor cop. How do you mean, Mr. Miller? Well, if he'd been found earlier, he would have had a better chance, wouldn't he, Chief? Probably. Well, it wouldn't be found right away, Chief. I don't know. My guess is that his body must have been hidden by that door leading to the back stairs. Well, I get it. And when the cops opened it, he was behind it and they ran through without seeing him, huh? Yeah. Of course I have an idea of it. Shall I get it, Chief? Yeah, it's probably the hospital. I'll take it. All right. You're in his office? Speaking. Yes? I see. Thank you. That's that. And it's a murder charge. Right. For laying or hurting? Or both. Shall I bring them in, Chief? No. Well, what are we going to do? Nothing, Harrington. We're just going to sit tight.  I'm not hungry. I can't afford it. That isn't going to help. That cop died. You didn't mean to do it. He died. Nobody will know you did it. I'll know I did it. I'll know. Who's that? I don't know. Eddie. Stand by for me. I'm afraid to answer. Maybe it's Joe. Maybe it's a police. Maybe it's Santa Claus, isn't it? Eddie. Come on. I said okay. Goodbye. The guy's dead. How did he know? He said he was hiding in the place when I took him out and he was dead then. Oh, my goodness. You know what else he said? You know what else my boss, Mr. Rocket, said? He said you were a murderer, Eddie, you might say. So I don't think you'd better say anything to the cops about me or anything. I think you'd better beat it, Eddie. Get out of town, you might say. Eddie. You should have never gotten in, is it? You should have stayed where I was. Oh, it was my fault. It was mine, too. No, no. I nagged you into it. I don't blame you. Well, you should. You see, I can't. But then I knew I got nothing. I got nothing at all. Oh, Eddie, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Baby, baby, we're in a mess, isn't it? We're in a jam, baby. What am I going to do? We're going to get out of here. Where are we going? I don't know. Let's get the baby and get out of here. We haven't any dough. We've got 200. We can't get far enough. We can't get far enough on any kind of dough. Yes, we can. I can't. I can't ever. I did it, and I know I did it, Luffy. You've got to do it. Well, I can fix Rocket's wagon anyway. What do you mean? I can do one good thing anyway. Joey! Where do you think? I'm going to get myself up. Why did you go to work for Rocket? More dough. You were working in a war plant, weren't you? Yes, sir. Maybe he thought Rocket's place was a war plant. Well... Oh, you didn't really know, did you? No, sir. About leaving the plant, I heard. I had figured I was just one guy. Yeah, sure. Start multiplying yourself by all the others who think the same way, and you've got 10 and 100 and then 1000. Then pretty soon you've got a production slow up in a war that goes on longer than it should. I didn't think of that. You didn't think of lots of things when you got yourself in this mess? No, I guess not. Well... Well, I take them away, chief. No, no, no. There's one more thing, Eddie.  Yes, sir. Then you ran right out. Yes, sir, I... I didn't mean to kill him. You didn't kill him? What? He's not dead. But I thought... I know, but Rocket was lying when he said that man was dead. The newspaper kept... It was a false report. That policeman's a liar, Eddie. Not dead? That's right. Yes, yes. Harrington, I wanted to take Eddie home in one of our cars. Yeah, but Chief... Right away. Yes, sir. And you're not to leave your house, Eddie. No, sir. What's gonna happen to me? No, we're worried about that later. Yes, sir. Thank you. That's all, Harrington. Yes, sir. Chief, that policeman is dead. Yes, I know. But Rocket's the man I'm after. I'm pretty sure the news that Eddie Lang was brought home safely with a police escort will get to him. Then he'll get to Eddie Lang. And you'll get to him. Right. But Chief, you don't just want him for the slot machine racket, do you? No. No, I want him for much more. Hey, I don't get it. I don't either, baby. It doesn't make sense. There's something wrong someplace. Look, all I know is the guy's not dead. I'm not a murderer. There's something screwy about them sending me home, but I didn't kill anyone, Ruthie.   Oh, honey, you're so glad. Oh, my... I just don't care about... What? I was gonna say that I don't care about anything. But I do. What do you mean? I care about going to jail. Eddie? I know not just what they're up to, but they're not gonna let me off, baby. I guess not, Dr. What?   Oh, now what? Oh, there was an auto salesman around yesterday. I guess we're not gonna need a car. Well, I better answer it. Eddie, if it's the police... Yeah? Did you tell him about Joe? No, but they know. What do you want, Rocket? Get out of here. In time, Mrs. Langs. They've got a little business first, you might say. It's a nice-looking knife you got, Rocket.  Why'd you tell the DA, Eddie? What do you care? Why'd he send you home in a big parade, Eddie? Tell them I hear you.  What did you tell them? Come on. Don't be frightened, baby. What did you tell them? Well, to remove that knife back in itch, I think I could talk better. Now tell them the truth, Rocket. Yeah, certain slot machines. Yeah. Tell me, kill that cop? Yeah. Only the cop isn't dead. Well, if you heard, that's a lie. No, it's true, Rocket. It can't be. He has to be dead. He has to be dead. Why does he have to be dead, Rocket? Well, come on in, Hans. Let me keep him covered around. All right, Rocket. Why does he have to be dead? I don't like guns, do you? Too noisy. It won't go off, if you behave. That policeman have to be dead, Rocket. So, did you tell me?  Your district attorney will be back in just a moment to tell you the reason he knew Rocket was the murderer and the final outcome of the case. But first, the story of Mrs. Gates, the lady who hadn't heard. Right now, she's going into a neighborhood store. And now to the center pharmacy. Next to the chain store, down a few blocks. Then across the street to the variety store. Just a moment, Mrs. Gates. Now, what is the trouble? Well, I've been all over town trying to find a bottle of vitalis for my husband. He's let his hair go without vitalis long enough. Why, Mrs. Gates, haven't you heard? Service men now get the entire supply of vitalis, the famous hair-groming preparation. They do? Yes. You see, because of wartime shortages, there isn't enough vitalis to meet the wants of civilians, plus men in the armed forces. Well, naturally, we're giving service men first call on the limited supply. So your husband will have to go without until wartime shortages are relieved. But when shortages are relieved, your husband will be able to get the same genuine vitalis that was the standby of so many for so long. Now, here is your district attorney. Well, ladies and gentlemen, both Eddie Lang and Joe Herndon were sent to prison for short terms. It was hard on their families, but they had knowingly broken the law and justice required and they paid for their misdeeds. The rocket, however, was sent to the chair for murder. Chief, how did you know Eddie Lang didn't kill that policeman?  The pipe he knocked the back of his head against, you had scratched him, and later I found a blood-stained crowbar and rocket to plant. But Chief, did you guess what happened before rockets consist? No, Herrington. At first I thought Eddie Lang had used the crowbar to kill the officers so he couldn't be identified. And then when I heard his story, I believed it and realized that probably someone else had been hiding in the cellar. And that was Rocket. Yes. As we know now, the police were so busy chasing Lang and Herndon, they didn't see Rocket. And by the time he decided it was safe to beat it, the cops came too. Yes, unfortunately. And so Rocket used the crowbar. He was a pretty nasty character all around. Well, what about next week's case, Chief? Well, friends, we have quite a different perhaps story for you next week. It's the case of the boogie-woogie murder. I hope you'll all join us for it. And so until then, thank you and good night.
