we were just like getting there. We were in the heat of it. And then my YouTube just totally crapped down on me on my phone. So that was super lame. And I don't know what happened. You're crushing it. My app just completely went numb. Yeah. But I had it pulled up on my computer here. So I'm like, Oh, it's still running like so. And then I'm trying to like figure out how to like log back into that live. And it just like wasn't, it just wasn't happening. I know, right? And I'm just like, okay, well, this is my first time trying live. So I figured there would be some type of like bug or hiccups that I'd run into. Maybe I manifested it. Yeah, exactly. So apologies about that. I don't even remember what we were talking about. You were telling me about near death experiences. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the soul contracts. But I had a reason that I brought that up. And we're talking about like the more education. And it's so interesting because a lot of these people that go through these near death experiences, they come back and they're like, Oh, you know, I saw Jesus, I saw God, blah, blah, blah. And they're like, you know, like we work with him before we come into earth about like what our like soul needs and what our soul is searching for and the lessons we want to learn on earth. So I, oh, and so I think that's really interesting.  But what these people are saying that, you know, pass away and then come back is that like, we planned for that to happen for some reason with him before we reincarnated here, which is interesting too, because I never really like growing up Catholic believed in reincarnation. But then like reading all of these testimonies, like I've probably read and listened to like at least 200 testimonies. And I'm like, and even people that like, don't believe in God, when they come back, we obviously do.   No, totally. I always secretly wanted to have a near death experience. But it hasn't happened. But I mean, I've done psychedelics and that'll give you the same same thing sometimes. So that's very true. That's very true. And it's like, and they're, and those are cool too, because if they're used in the right way, because they can like really expand your mind and your consciousness, like open up parts of like your brain, I think that are otherwise like dormant kind of. Yeah. But you know, if used inappropriately, or when you're not in a good mindset. And no, I definitely think that some negative things can be allowed into your spirit then too. Yes. But it's, it's pretty cool stuff. So Mike, I wanted to ask you like, when you said you were raised like as a Christian, were you in any type of like denomination, or was it just kind of like a non-denominational? I don't think so. It was, I pretty much went to like a big giant church. It didn't, it wasn't specific on the doctrine. So no, it was just everything. Yeah. And, but it was more specifically like my dad, who really spoke to me through Jesus, not the, not the church. My dad would just, he would always say these like profound Bible verses in this very like regal way. And he would just say them. And it felt, it just was like cutting to the spirit, you know. And yeah, he, he told me how to like give my life to Jesus when I was about seven. Wow. Yeah. So I did when I was seven. Well, that's pretty amazing. Cause when we were talking about how, you know, God can be seen or painted in this negative light for, you know, allowing these things to happen. And I was raised Catholic. And so that's all they teach you is to just be like fearful and scared and of God.  And if you don't go to confession and all of this stuff. And it was like very, like fear mongering. And I was always just like, I don't really get why I would like worship something like this. Like it just, the Catholic Church, I kind of joke around and call myself a recovering Catholic. Cause it's just like, I feel like at this point in my journey, I have to just unlearn a lot of the things that I learned while going to church when I was younger.  And like I have two younger brothers that went to Catholic school, but I didn't. And I just like presented it so much. And then when I found like new age stuff, like, you know, I did the whole like crystal thing.  I listen to those all the time. Like I was like so caught up. I was doing a, what was it? An egg cleanse. It was like this weird thing where, you know, you, you put like an egg yolk in a glass of water and if it like floats or if it sinks, that tells you something about like the spirits or like the energies in you or something like that. Oh, all the things. And there was a guy that I was dating for a while and he was like completely convicted by Christ. And we met when I was like in my new age phase. And he was so like wonderful about not like condemning me within like a lot. And he would always say to me, like, you'll understand one day when you can go straight to the source and you would always say that, like go straight to the source.  I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm talking to my pendulum. He's like, no, like straight to the source. And I'm like, I don't really get what you're saying. And then one day I got what he was saying. So what happened? Like what made you come to Christ? Yeah, it was, it was weird because like I had not been going to church for at least a decade. Like it was a long time. So like Christ was always in my heart. Like he never like left me. But I didn't really care. Like I didn't pray. He wasn't on my mind, I guess would be like the the easiest way to put it. Like it just wasn't something I thought about. Yeah. And then one day when I was visiting the guy that I was dating, I was still in like my little new age phase. And he goes, it was Sunday. He's like, so we're going to church today. And I was like, what? And he's like, actually, we're going to two different churches today. And I was like, what? So he did. He brought me to two non-denominational churches, which was like so different from anything I'd experienced in the Catholic Church. And right then and there, the first service we went to, I was like, I don't remember what the pastor said, like something about like if you feel like Christ is trying to talk to you right now or you need him or you need to come back to him or something along those lines, raise your hand. And like I found myself raising my hand, not even realizing what I was doing, sobbing. I'm just standing there with my hand up in the air just sobbing. Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah.   I've been so convicted. Like my my biggest priority is like my relationship with God, which is wild. Like I never thought like this would be me. Yeah. It's beautiful. So in that moment when that happened, do you even feel like you chose it or?  I just I think Jeff just asked, who is the gorgeous lady with you, Sarah? You want to introduce yourself, Nikki, to some of the new people that are on here? Yes. I'm Nikki. I'm just I'm just a girl. Nikki's another YouTuber here. I will definitely put her stuff in the description and her tag will be in the YouTube thumbnail as well. So you guys can reach her. She's got good stuff. She is just a girl. Aren't we all just boys and girls and sons and daughters of God, right? Yeah. I'm a I'm a Christ follower. I come from New Age. I've always been a big spiritual seeker. So I started to make YouTube videos. And yeah, Sarah makes YouTube videos, obviously, and we just kind of stumbled across each other's videos. So yeah, I saw one of Nikki's videos a few months ago and I was like, I'm just I was just feeling drawn to reach out to you. Like that does not happen a lot. I don't know that like I've maybe so I've been on YouTube for about like two years now consistently. I've maybe reached out to like one or two other people. Like I just don't but I just felt this conviction. I was like, I need to reach out to her. Yeah, similar, similar frequency, you know. Yeah, exactly. I feel like you always just know and what's crazy about it is like, I don't know about you, but like I just don't really have many people in my life to like share this type of stuff with, which makes it really difficult. Well, you know, what's amazing is just lately I notice the more I like draw close to God, the more I read the Bible, the more I do Bible studies, it's like it seems to be popping up more in my life, like people who want to talk about it. Yeah, and it's really because I did feel like that even just a few weeks ago, like I was like, didn't have a ton of talk to about it. Lately, yeah, it seems to be popping up. That's amazing. Now, and do you do you still go to a church or no? Sometimes my sister and my dad go to a church. So every now and then I'll go there. Yeah. I got baptized there. Oh, did you? So you still go to the same one that you got baptized at? I just got baptized last week. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Did you? How do you feel? Well, yeah, like when I was a baby. Okay, but I kind of like it's one of those things that I've kind of wanted to like do again. But I was like, are you like allowed to do that? Yeah, I think so. I get like, like, I don't know. But like, I feel like I didn't know what was going on when I was a baby. And now, like I, I'm in it. Like I am here. And like, I, that is where my life is going. And like, I would like to like read, dedicate myself to Christ, I guess. Like, I don't know if it's something you're allowed to do. I would say yes, for sure.  Yeah, it's so beautiful. Right.  Toys. Yeah, like now it's like a conscious choice.  Oh, he said, yes, you can be baptized again. Okay. Yeah. Please stay at YouTube, DZ. Tyrone and I will be doing a video on here pretty soon. We've been talking a little bit. Well, that's good news, because I've really been thinking about that for at least a year now. And the issue was, is I was going to a church I found around here, like a non-anonymous one, and I loved it. And about a year, not a year, maybe like eight, maybe like nine. They brought political people in. They brought political people.  And like God was, and I was like, what?  That's weird. Yeah. Yeah. So I walked out. I like tried to sit through it for like, I don't know, I think it lasted like a half hour. And I was like, you know what? I can never come back here. Like this is crazy. Like this is crazy. So since then, I've tried out like two other churches, but it's funny. Like I almost feel closer to God when I'm not going to church. Is that weird? Like I feel like that's like a weird thing. We're in church right now. Yeah, it's so true. Like it's not like walls. You know, it's not walls.  I wanted to ask you like, so, you know, you're talking about like getting closer to God and everything. How do like, I feel like it's different for everyone. And it like kind of took me by surprise the first time it happened to me.  You can come up. My name's Sassy. Very well deserved name. So like, I feel like it's different for everyone, right? But like, how do you personally hear from God? I feel like that's like a really interesting, I'm very curious. Yeah, such a good question. Well, recently, it's just, it really has been like, I, as soon as I wake up, I try to make a conscious effort to talk to Jesus. And then I try to find some biblically base, like I've actually been in the Bible every morning, but some, I couldn't start out like that. Or I would find something on YouTube that was interesting, like either a past. I listened to Joyce Meyer a lot. Okay, I haven't heard of her. I should check her out. She's all right. She's like, no, you don't have to. It's actually great. She brought me closer to God. I actually found a bunch of street preachers that really brought her to God. Street preachers? A street preachers. I'm like, tell me, what are these street preachers? Have you ever watched a street preacher? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Some of them, though, I guess it is with everything. You've got like the people that are just like too crazy. Yeah. But then obviously you have like the really good ones too. I actually, I go to a lot of like music festivals and I was at one in November in Florida and they had some of these like street preachers like outside.  Like this is great.  And I was like, I literally think that's the message you should be spreading. Do you have a favorite one? Well, so the one that really drew me in when I was like first really coming back to Christ was Dora Love. Okay. You know him? Yeah. Yeah. And he can get pretty intense times. Yeah. I like when they're intense, like when they're like convicted, like passionate, but it's when they start like being judgmental that I'm like, yeah, I know. I know. But honestly, I feel like there's a place for it. I don't think it's for everyone, but there's a lot of people out in the world that need to be convicted need to be told something. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's difficult to because and I don't know if you were ever like this, but and maybe me it was because like the Catholic church thing, but for a really long time, when people would talk to me about Christianity when I wasn't really even before all the New Age stuff, like when I just wasn't, you know, seeking that relationship, I would get so annoyed, right? And for a long time, I was like, what like questioning myself, like why, why do I get frustrated with these like Christian people when they're just trying to spread the word, right? And I would just be like, stop shutting down people's throats and then it hit me like not long ago, like a few months ago, I was like, it just popped. Do you ever get that like answer just randomly pop in your head? Yeah. And it just like happened to be where like I feel like I on my YouTube channel, like I talk about like being triggered a lot. And to me, when you get triggered by something, it's one of two possibilities usually the first is you identify with whatever that person's saying. And the second part or the second way is that you lack like what they're saying.  And so instead of, instead of knowing that I, I rejected it. And so I feel like since that happened to me, it must happen to other people, you know. Well, well, the Bible says we reject, we reject the truth in unrighteousness before we come to it. So everyone is suppressing or suppressing, I think suppressing the truth and unrighteousness. So like to me, that means to me, it was pride. And even it's like subtle pride, right? Because you hear people who are really passionate for Christ and Jesus. And it can come across that way. You're like annoyed by it. You're like, are you talking about that so much? Can you calm down or like, okay. But I don't know, the more that I can let go of that, it does come from pride. Not that you need to be talking about Jesus every second of every day or anything, but if someone is passionate about it and shares it, that's awesome. Yeah. And what a thing to be passionate about. It's the most important thing. Yeah. It's always like, I look back at like how I used to be and I'm like, oh, Sarah, like, come on, man. Yeah, same. I was like that too. I was judgmental. I was like, I'm much more spiritual than you all. You guys stuck in the literal. I didn't really think that, but I did. That was my subcontinent underlying energy of it. Yeah. But you know what though, on one end, I, there are a lot of like Christians out there that I feel like, like there's different, like, I feel like there's different levels of spirituality within Christianity. And like, I feel that's where and I see that a lot between like the Catholic Church and these non-denominational churches. Like, there's just such a difference where, for example, like, I feel like a lot of churches don't talk about miracles anymore. Like people, a lot of Christians like don't believe that like miracles still like happen today. But like, I think they do. Now, have I like seen one of these crazy miracles myself? No. But I feel like there's a lot of like small miracles that happen all the time. Oh yeah. But like, I think people get caught up in these like stories of, you know, the 5000 fish and bread and walking on water and like, oh, well, why don't we see these things anymore? But I think a lot of churches don't really like talk about that kind of stuff either. Does the church that you go to talk about it? Um, no, no, no. I think the church that does talk about that a lot is the Pentecostal churches. Gotcha. I would like to attend one. They are very passionate about the Holy Spirit. Yeah. And I haven't been to one, but I know that they will like come upon you. They'll be like, I have a prophecy for you. You, this is what you're meant to do in your life. You have this gift. I love that. Yes. It's really interesting. Because I was watching your video and you were talking about that a little bit, how Jesus was, you know, using Jesus as God, but he was using the Holy Spirit to do the miracles and we have this access to the same Holy Spirit. But I think that's what you were saying kind of. Yeah. Sorry, that face wasn't at you. Yeah. Well, exactly. Like it's like, it's kind of like this parallel of Jesus teaching us how to be human. Like he's God teaching us how to be human in human form. And I feel like, and he talks about that, like that he uses the Holy Spirit. But then what's interesting about it is like somewhere else in the Bible, it's talking about how like the Holy Spirit comes after Jesus. And that's another like mind, mind. Yeah. Like well, because he left the Holy Spirit with us. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. So maybe like that's what it was. Like, I don't know. It's again, it's like so far above like comprehension, I feel like, but maybe it's like, he was the only one with Holy Spirit. And then when he was done his part, he left the Holy Spirit like within all of us or for us. I don't know. It's so like, I feel like I could just sit around and think and talk about this stuff all day. Same. Yeah. Well, it does seem to be like less radical than in the biblical writing, some of the miracles, you know. But at the same time, not really. Like people recover from crazy illnesses and come back from death. Like you're just talking about all the time. Yeah. So that's pretty, that's pretty much a huge miracle if someone dies and comes back to life. That's how I feel. But then I think what happens is it's like so many people are like, oh, well, it's just a coincidence or oh, it's just science. Oh, it's just this. And it's like, no, it's not. I've never said that, honestly. I don't know how someone can look at nature and not see God, but it happened. A lot of atheists. It's just crazy to me.  But it's like, then it's like, well, why would God stop anyone from like wanting to seek Him, though? I don't understand that. I know. Yeah, that's a really good question. What popped in my head was I don't even remember what part of the Bible it is or anything, but there's a part where the woman is trying to get to Jesus and she has to claw through all the people to get to Jesus. And she had like, and it was really hard for her to get to Jesus. But once she got there, he was impressed by what she had done and how hard she had tried to get to him. So then we healed her. Right. I think it was, was it the woman that was just like, I just need to touch her cloth. I just have to touch the cloth. Yeah, yeah. And she couldn't walk or something like that. Wait, isn't it so crazy that we're both also like in the middle of the book of John too? Yeah. Your email, I was like, wow, that's crazy. But like, is it like, is it really that weird? Okay, here's a question for you. It might be a tough to answer. It's a very loaded question. Okay. What was the most profound thing, word, experience, like a ha moment that you got from like either God or the Bible? Like in my whole life. So I've only been like truly seeking with all my heart for the past six months. Okay. And I'm at about like two years. So we're still like babies. Yeah. And I can tell you that it's honestly, it's probably what you expect. And it's kind of just funny. But I have like a really small bladder. So when I have to pee, I have to go like I have to get to the bathroom. I was driving the other day and sometimes I will end up peeing my pants in the past. Like it's been an issue. Oh, it's terrible. It's better now. But anyways, it was happening to me. It was like hitting me really hard. I was like, I got home and I was just praying. I was like, Jesus, please help me get home and make it to the bathroom. And I was like, I don't think I'm going to make it. Like I could feel it starting to like come, it gets to a point where I'm like, I'm going to pee my pants. And it got to that point. And I was like, thanks Jesus for nothing.  And then it was like it came over me and it just completely took it away. Wow. And I know that's like a weird story. But it's really cool. Like that's a really cool. And you know what though, that just goes to show that like, you know, I think a lot of people tend to pray just about these like huge things or what are they going to be these huge problems?  But like your testimony right there shows that like you can pray and lean on Jesus for anything. Yeah. So that's a small thing, obviously. But I totally felt like that was Jesus. But the biggest thing I would be that just that Jesus showed me that like new age and magic is ultimately imitation or deception of Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. No, I definitely agree with that. It's it's pretty crazy. I don't want to take up too much of your time. But I did want to go over one more thing with you because I've been like super into this lately. And I know you've done a few videos on it. I wanted to talk about Hollywood. Yes. I feel like it's something that people don't really talk about.  And I just feel like all of this stuff is just so in our faces. It's just wild. Like this whole like Grammy thing. I think you did a video on that, right? With Sam Smith and everything. Like how crazy is that? Like, dude. It is absolutely that's it's and it's really crazy how deep it goes to like, I don't know. Like, I'm sure you've heard of MK ultra and everything like that, too. Yeah. Apparently, a lot of people in Hollywood are under mind control by, I don't know who I 100% believe it. Yeah. And it's like, all of these celebrities that are like talking about, you know, sacrifices and selling their soul. And it's like, they say it all the time and people just like take it as this like saying and I'm like, they're literally just telling us what's going on. It's like crazy. They put it in plain sight and it's getting more and more visually. You could see it. Why do you think that is like, why do you think because like I feel like before it was much more subliminal.  So like, why do you think it's more like just they're not even hiding it anymore? I think it's because it's Babylon. So it's growing. So it's growing. It's coming back. Babylon keep always comes back again and again and again in the Bible. And this is the current modern Babylon. Wow. That's so interesting. It's a good point. I mean, that's a really good point. You can kind of see himself because if that is people in Hollywood are panicked, worshiping, then isn't the opposite true? You know, is it Christ? It's like almost like the crumbling of Hollywood, but then it's like people just look at it as a joke. And I'm just like, and then I don't know if you saw this, but before the Grammys, Sam Smith had tweeted something about, oh, so excited for a Grammy performance or whatever. And CBS responded to his tweet. I have it screen shot it somewhere because they deleted it. And they said, we're can't wait to worship or something like that. Yeah. Dude. You guys are literally out here talking about it's like this. It's I it's so in our faces that I just cannot believe that so many people are turning this blind eye to it. I don't know. It's nuts. It's like, but that's what the Bible says. People don't have eyes to see or ears to hear it. But it's like, it's, I don't know how you feel about it, but like it makes them want to grab people by the shoulders and like shake them and be like, hello. Oh, yeah. What is wrong with you? Honestly, I try not to get too into it because it can kind of just start taking over your mind and it can take me down a, I don't really want to focus on that, you know, so. Yeah. No, I tend to get that way too. Others a guy called, um, what's his name? Oh, Ralph Smart. Yeah. And yeah. And I got like really caught up with his, his material for a long time. I would say probably more so before I went back into Christianity. And I realized after a while, like even though I think it's great and he's doing like his calling as far as like exposing all of these things, I'm like, I can't keep watching this stuff. Like all I'm thinking about is like, oh, well, Ralph Smart says that there's going to be, you know, no electricity and there's going to be a food shortage and, you know, the COVID police and like all of this stuff. And I'm like, it's like scary if you go so far down like that, those rabbit holes. But then it's also like, you just want to like expose it even more than people just say you're crazy. But yeah, it's wild. I know that's why I felt like I started to like collect proof, you know, because I'm like, I'm gonna start making a slide show because I can say, yeah, they are constantly doing this. You know, how many photos are there of them doing the one eye symbol. And the, and the cage, there are always, there's many, many photos of them in cages on the bathtub, which is like baptism to Satanism. Oh, I didn't know about that one. Or baptism into the occult, whatever you want to say. Oh, I haven't for that one. Yeah. So I started like compiling that, but then like, you know, I don't want to get too into it. So I think it's best to focus on Jesus. Right, right, right. Like, save these people because then, and then I'm watching this clip of, I think it was Diplo when Beyonce won like the one Grammy or whatever. And he's like, they bought that.   That says I could understand if Satan worship worked, but it does not. I love that. So true, man. It's like, yeah, he's there, but God's way more powerful. Like, it's like, it's kind of like what you focus on grows. So it's like, if you're focusing on all of this darkness, then like, that's what your life is going to be consumed by. But if you work on, you know, focus on the light, then, yeah, I'm just curious what your opinions were on that because it's a, I get frustrated. I'm like, what? I totally agree. And I think it is a really powerful way to point people to the truth.  Yeah. Like here, let me send you 500 TikToks. Oh yeah. TikTok is great for exposing that stuff. It's a great platform for like exposure.  But once I started like getting on that side of TikTok, I was like, I see. I like this. Yeah. I don't want to use TikTok because I don't want to, I just don't want to use it. But I have seen a lot of TikToks that are good. Yeah. It's, it's, it can be a really like exposing place, which is cool, but it's also a fricking rabbit hole. And I actually like feel like there's something kind of like funky with TikTok as far as like energies go. Like there's something about it that always felt kind of like icky. I don't know if that's the right word. Like something about that just felt like wrong to me. And I don't necessarily know what that is, but there's just something funky about that app. Yeah. I, from the beginning I was like, I'm not getting TikTok. Like it's weird. It's like, I, I definitely like didn't have it for a really long time. And then I was like, okay, I'll download it and see like the big hype is, but now I'm like, oh, there's just something funky about this app. Like sometimes I'll get on it and I'll feel real weird when I get off. And I'm like, why this way? And it's like, it's really gross. Like a lot of it is basically porn. Yes. Yeah. I'm like, uh, like it's so hard not to be like a judgmental person, but like it's really difficult sometimes. Yeah. I mean, it's natural to an extent to be judgmental. I don't know. Yeah. It's like, there's judgment for a good purpose. Yeah. Right. It's just, uh, not, you know, can't justify all the judgment, but well, I don't want to keep you, but it's been really fun chatting. Yeah. Thanks for having me on. For sure. I appreciate you coming on. Um, and then obviously I'll put it in the description and everything, but, uh, where else can people find you that besides YouTube? Um, I do have an Instagram. It's, uh, faith love, Lily. Okay. Faith. If you could text me that when we get off here and I'll put that in your YouTube both in the description below. So if any of you guys want to follow Nikki, I would highly recommend she's got good content and obviously she's very well spoken and knowledgeable and intelligent. And I've really enjoyed chatting with you today. Uh, thank you, Sarah. So are you. No, thank you. You have a great rest of your day. Yeah, you too. Peace and blessing. You as well. Bye.


I'm super optimistic about this year, 2024, both personally, having moved here, but also from a business point of view as we continue to grow the ecosystem for startups and tech companies.

Hi, everyone. Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com. Coming at you with a box of 2022 Panini Capstone Baseball, one box, Ram team break number 54. This is the last filler we got to do to unlock that diamond dozen. That's coming up in the next video. Every time we get to our last filler, we'll always write, oh, I'll do my best to write last filler on there. All right, thanks everybody. We're gonna do the break first and then we'll do another dice roll to give away those spots. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. All 32 baseball teams are in. It'll be 32 someday, but for now, 30. Six and a four, 10 times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10. And then 10 times for the teams. Jason Parker is here. You told there'd be cake. There is cake, just go to the back. It's in the back room. Help yourself to a slice. We got it from the local bakery down the way. Red velvet. Guardians down to Phillies. All right, so no trade windows in these filler breaks, but there's the first half of the list. And there's the second half of the list right there. Adam Koperman, what's going on, man? He must be happy. He's a Jets fan. He's wondering if there was any football news today. Here on Monday, April 24th, 2023. Just mere days before the 2023 NFL Draft. Aaron Rodgers, a New York jet. Adam's Jets. Adam, how excited are you about this? Now that the deal is, well, it's still not finally done, but at least the terms of the deal have been agreed to. Names have to be signed on the dotted line. That has yet to happen. But they'll seem like mere formalities at this point. How are we feeling today? How is the city feeling today? Must be very exciting. I mean, this is, I was listening to some of the talking heads on ESPN and NFL Network talk about this, and I guess this is probably the best quarterback the Jets have ever had, right? And they're a history, since like, name it. And I don't know if even name it compared to his contemporaries were at the level of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, the O-line they got to deal with, but that might be their first round pick. And now it's just all in for the Jets organization. But the pieces are there. Now it's just on coaching, right? Just get some additional pieces and then coaching. There's Bobby Wood Jr., rookie card for the Royals, that'll be for Boyd.  I was gonna say, we're probably gonna see a lot more, we're probably gonna see a lot more prime time game for the Jets instead of a lot of one o'clock games, which would be 10 a.m. West Coast time. So I don't think there'll be a lot of games, a lot of early games for the Jets. There's Brandon Marsh, he's having a great start to the season, that'll be for, that's still Angels edition, that's gonna go to Danny. Right, Josh Allen versus Aaron Rodgers twice a year, that's gonna be fun. There's a Crest Insert, Wander Franco for the Reys, Boyd. Matt Veerling to 75. Yeah, I can see the Jets getting a lot of Monday night games, Thursday night games, Sunday night games. There's Sam Huff, jersey and autograph for the Rangers, that's gonna go to Danny. Yeah, James is thinking there's some good ol' lineman in that 10 to 20 range for the Jets. I'm hoping my Raiders take, would their seventh pick take a top tier offensive lineman or maybe there's Kyle Manzaro for the Reys, for Boyd. Or maybe one of those pass rushers, the highly-tied pass rusher that drops to maybe one of those elite tier cornerbacks. Anything on the defensive side or offensive line side for my Raiders would be nice. So the Jets home games this year, aside from their division, Chiefs Eagles, Chargers this year. This might be a short print here. It's a graffiti parallel, Bobby Whit Jr. It's gonna go to Boyd in Kansas City. I feel like I've not seen a lot of here. I don't want the surprise quarterback pick for the Raiders. Maybe in later rounds, taking a quarterback I'd be fine with, but not this early. There's so many holes that the Raiders need to plug. Jalen Carter would be nice, but it's for the Yankees, they'll be for Tristan, but I'm concerned about, little concerned about how that pick would be perceived, considering his driving record. I think there's some echoes of the Henry Rugg situation that I think some people might be uncomfortable with. All right, there it is here. Now let's flip back to the list. Let's gather everybody's names. Moving four, I think Jimmy G is gonna be the quarterback for at least the next two seasons. All right, top eight will be in the Diamond Doesn't Break after five, but I think the Raiders will draft quarterback either this year or next year, just to marinate behind Jimmy G, and then hopefully he's the bridge to the future. All right, top eight after five, good luck everybody. One, two, three, four, five, and five. After five times, so from nine on down, it's gonna be sad times. Sorry Tristan, but nine through 30, I appreciate everybody giving this shot. We'll get him next time. In fact, there's another Diamond Doesn't Break up, plus another couple of fillers we gotta do, if you feel like trying again, go for, or why not just get a full spot? Save yourself the heart eight. All right, top eight though, you're happy. Happy times four, Mickey is happy. So it's Trevor, Jason, Boyd, Danny, Ryan, Danny, Brad, congrats to the top eight. We'll see you in the next video for the break itself. Jasper'scasebrakes.com, bye bye.


Clearly the Greek situation is bringing to a head a crisis of major proportions in the European Union. On the one hand you have the core countries of the Union, what are sometimes described as the core countries of the Union, those who are in effect bailing out the program countries by providing monies through the European financial stability fund, the EFSF. And clearly because of the fact that Greece over a period of time has run up an enormous debt mountain, the problem in terms of market reaction is becoming extremely serious. I hope that what happens is that an agreement in regard to what Greece will do properly implemented is adequate to satisfy the European Union, the ECB and the IMF in regard to further support for Greece, because it would be utterly destructive if Greece were to unilaterally default on its debts or to find itself unable to comply with the obligations imposed on it by the European Union, the ECB and the IMF. It would be destructive not merely to Greece, but risks creating a contagion event which would damage both the other program countries, Portugal and Ireland, but also perhaps even Spain and Italy by creating a market sentiment that the weakness that would result from the failure of Greece could spread elsewhere. So to my mind it's very important that a balanced agreement taking into account a maximum that Greece can do, but not asking them to do more than they can do, be concluded as soon as possible to overcome a problem which will become manifest one way or the other in the next days.


The Graf and Beer training area was first established by Prince Louis de Polde of Bavaria in 1907 to train the Bavarian Third Corps. The first artillery round was fired here at 0800 hours on the 30th of June 1910. Sound! Attention! At this time, General Williams along with Brigadier General Hilbert and Brigadier General Carpenter will assume their positions on the parade field. The colors are the commander's symbol of authority, representing his responsibilities to the organization. Wherever the commander is, so are the colors. The custodian of the colors is the command sergeant major as the senior enlisted soldier in the unit and principal advisor to the commander. The passing of the colors symbolizes the transfer of command responsibility and authority. The ceremony begins as command sergeant major Morgan passes the colors to Brigadier General Hilbert for the last time. Brigadier General Hilbert will then pass the colors to General Williams, thereby relinquishing his responsibility and authority. General Williams will then pass the colors to Brigadier General Carpenter, charging the new commander with the same responsibilities and authority. By authority of paragraph 2-5, Army Regulation 600-20, the undersigned assumes command of the 7th Army Training Command, effective 20 June 2023, signed Stephen P. Carpenter, Brigadier General, commanding. As his first act as commander, Brigadier General passes the colors back to command sergeant major Morgan in trusting the command sergeant major with the responsibility of the colors. So good and tired, my name is Adam Haran. Hello, Grafen there, General Hilbert, General Carpenter, distinguished guests, allies and partners, teammates and supporters, soldiers and families of the 7th Army Training Command. It is a real privilege to be here this morning to recognize and thank General Hilbert for his awesome leadership at the helm of 7th ATC. Thank you also to your family, to Beth, thank you for your service, for your dedicated support of Joe, support which has enabled his service and leadership. Godspeed on your return home. But it's not all that 7th ATC has achieved under Brigadier General Hilbert's leadership. He's been instrumental in widening our engagement with allies and partners through exercises like Allied Spirit, Combined Resolve, Dynamic Front, Sabre Junction and of course Defender. And he's brought the spirit of competition to through strong Europe Tank Challenge and the best sniper competition. One thing that we recognize here in 7th ATC is all those accomplishments that General Williams mentioned, all the things that have done, we don't do this alone in 7th ATC. We do it because of a powerful team in Europe and there's some folks I'd like to thank. I'll start with our adjacent units. Starting with 5th Corps with General Kuleshevsky, sir, thanks so much for your leadership and partnership. You've pushed training and interoperability in a way we only imagine and it's just been a pleasure working alongside your team to do what you've been able to do here in Europe. We've really just moved the ball forward. The General Agudo, as I mentioned, the training of the Ukrainians and the partnership that we have with the Security Assistance Group Ukraine, it's an honor to be in direct support of your effort and an honor to build that training. For the 56th Artillery Command, I think we mentioned General Moranian is here. What they have done with Dynamic Front and what I've seen happen over the years and pushing that exercise to build interoperable fires for Europe, fires that can deter our adversaries and reinforce our allies. Sir, thanks for that. Mr. Tommy Meis, great support from Insulation Management Command Europe, supporting the three garrisons under 7th ATC, Stuttgart, Ansbach and Bavaria. You do make Europe a hometown and we appreciate it. And then finally, General Smith, the former commander of 21st TSC, my partner now, General Reagan in 1221. It doesn't happen in Europe without Team 21 and we couldn't do what we do without the support, whether it's supporting our movements out to the training sites or it's supporting the training that we've got. It's a great team here in Europe. It's not just because of the location.  So, thank you for all of you. We also couldn't do this without our allies and partners. I think breeder Mark Wilson from the Collective Training Group UK was supposed to be here. But truly the collective effort of trainers with our allies and partners across Europe from the Joint Force of Training Center in Bitkos, Poland to the host of national training centers, whether it's Wild Flicking for the Bundeswehr or Chimpy down in Romania. Our allies and partners have incredible trainers and we're stronger together because of the efforts that they've put into building the train environment here. I have loved being an American soldier for the last 27 years because the Army is a people business. The ultimate team sport. The ultimate performance profession. Where winning matters because in this game there is no middle ground. In this game there are no moral victories. In this game you're either winning or you're losing. Better said you're either winning or you're dying. Especially as we've seen in large-scale combat which is absolutely unrelenting. My favorite part of this profession is building and contributing towards high-performing, cohesive teams who are willing to put in the work, prepare to win and helping soldiers and their families achieve their personal and professional goals. The Carpenters are honored to stand here as part of 7th Army Training Command serving U.S. Army Europe and Africa soldiers, their families, our NATO allies and partner nation countries.


It's heartbreaking watching the number of COVID deaths rise. Yet more than 200,000 Americans die from preventable medical errors year after year after year. Not because of complications, simply because of preventable mistakes. We can fix this. We don't need new technology or even a vaccine. We just need you. Join us.


Dents, beautiful jungle, birds of every hue, ropes of vines interlacing giant trees, sinuous slimy rivers, steaming swamp, barren desert, undergrowth, peering beady eyes, the scream of death, black laughter. This is Africa. In the village of the leopard men, the professor and his party saw Ifabi, a beautiful native girl, apparently transform herself into a leopard. This girl, known also as the Witch of the Moon, has peculiar golden skin, yellow eyes, and is a mistress of the art of hypnotism. One of the warriors, jealous of the interest Jack has aroused in Ifabi, persuades the witch doctor to cast a spell of death on the boy. The witch doctor fashions an image of Jack, performs a mysterious ceremony, and the warrior Adako begins piercing the image slowly with a long needle, working ever toward the heart. In the hut, Jack complains of pains. Gradually they creep down his right side. The professor is at a loss until he discovers a few small indentations in the boy's arm and leg. Then the cause dawns on him. Witchcraft. But how can it be witchcraft, father? Who'd want to harm Jack? Is it Ifabi, the girl? No, not this time. But if I'm not mistaken, it's because of her. How do you feel now, Jack? I... I can't... can't move either of my legs. Where's Ifabi? Perhaps he can do something. Well, you follow this here with Ifabi and then vanished. You never know where he is. Milini. Milini, him make foretable talk for little Boana. How do you know it, Milini?  Ah, I knew it. One of the warriors is jealous of Jack, at least of the interest Ifabi takes in him. He's got Milini to make a witch charm and a deadly one at that. But, father, how could a witch charm do a thing like this? Once more, my dear. This is Africa, and... I don't know. Where's Ifabi? She's the one to stop this. Good old call ifabi. She here. Your great warrior tells Ifabi that a medicine is being worked upon a young white man. What has happened? Let me see him. His right side and legs are useless. You see those small marks on his arm? They follow down the side and legs. It is what you call the figural clay. It is not only Milini. There is another with him. Perhaps a daco, the son of the chief. You have water that is hot? There's some in that pot on the fire there. It is well. Bring it to me. But first, white man, before Ifabi makes her medicine that will save the little Boana, there is an oath to be made. An oath? Yes. One that the white man will keep this time. Well, if you mean about shooting leopards, I made no promise before, but... Well, I promised you that... It has nothing to do with the lepros. Can't you do something? This pain is getting behind me. What is this old? Speak, woman. That you will help Ifabi. He made a quest for something that lies many days' march from here. You leave me no alternative, I'm afraid. Is this quest against the white man's law? No. It is not in the land over which the great white king rules. Don't bother. Be quick. Jack's face is turning blue. You have my word, Ifabi. Yes, I will help you. It is well. The water. Here it is. Good. Hindu, this must go fresh, warm blood. Blood? It is necessary to have human blood. Nellini's magic is taking the blood from the young Boana, drop by drop. Oh. Well, I'm ready if you want to... No, Rona, dear. I'm used to this sort of thing. I've seen it done before. Get my scalpels, dear. The blood must be that of a strong man. Here you are, father. Thanks, dear. I'll go and sit by Jack. Keep the arm moving that is near to the heart. It will delay the spell Nellini is working. All right, I'll do my business. This ready, Ifabi? Yes. Let the blood flow into the water. So. Oh. Oh. How much, Ifabi? A little more. That will be enough. Here's a leaf. Bend it upon the cut. It will stop the flow. Well, what's the next move? Let me look into the eyes of the young Boana. His will must be made strong. How much longer is it? Do as Ifabi says, Jack.  For in them lies strength. Yes. Yes, I... You will have the strength that is of my will. You will keep breathing. Your heart will beat despite the needle of death. The curse of the sisters of darkness cannot harm you. You will sleep with the strength of the mountains in your mind. Yes. He sleeps. We must be quick. Millini and Adako must be overpowered. The figure of clay immersed in this water. The blood that is in it will give life to the young white man. All right. Come on on, Guru. Hi, Boana. Stay here with Jack. Don't worry. All right. I have to take them by surprise. Yes, but they will have no weapons. Millini will permit no spear in his heart. You see, Adako's spear stands in the doorway. Yet must the figure of clay be secured before he can destroy it. It's getting late. You'll have to be careful. Millini will be over the fire making his magic. Adako will have the figure of clay. And his head will be bowed to the needle of death.  Millini shall not know. He will think that your magic has sought him out. Deal with them as you please. No one will know. The village sleeps heavily after the ceremony of the night. And I must immerse the clay image in this? Yes, to the neck. And pray to your God, twat man. If Abbey has done, he goes to keep strength. Come on, on, Guru. This is more to our liking. I pray, Heaven, I don't lose my temper too far and kill one of them. No kill, Boana. No crack them neck so hard. No, on, Guru. I'm afraid I'd like to just as much as you, but it just can't be done.  Guru, catch them, warrior, huh? All right. I'll hold a gun on the witch doctor. But for Heaven's sake, get that clay image before he can break it up. Guru, catch them. I guess we'll have to rush the doorway. You all set? Uh-huh. All right. Let's go. Gotcha! Come on, Millini! Busy, Boana! Busy! Millini, Millini, Millini! Say where you are, Millini. Have you got it, Guru? Hi, Boana. It is here. Give it away. Belito, all warrior, make full little Boana way well. Thanks, old fellow. I couldn't have said anything better than that. Millini. Hmm? Alufo. You have broken the white man's law. You have made a killing fetish. What say you? Lord, I am a poor man, and this dog tempted me with salt and rug. If the white commissioner hears of this, he will come with a rope, and Millini will fly like a bird into the air. Who is this man? Gita, Laka, Nani? Boana, you know who think he's in Zito. Him sleep. Is he dead? No, Boana. Him dog growl again by-by. Well, Guru, I guess we've done all we can here. Millini, there will be no more killing plovers. Or by the whole through with some Simba and Samba. What is the earth?  Yes, Lord. It shall be so. Well, the white man has great magic.  Walk with care. The white Lord knows everything. It shall be so. As well. Come on, Guru. Let's get back. Aye, Boana. Well, I think that's fixed Millini for a while. But I spoke the name of the chief's son. Did you see his eyes roll? Aye, moon-witch, make him good and dull for little Boana. I hope so. As if I was standing in the door of the hut. Anything happens to that boy, I'll never forgive myself. All is well, white man. The young Boana sleeps in safety. Well, thank heaven for that. Is that you, Dad?  Jack seems to be much better. Good.  Well, it's normal. Sleeping soundly, too. Yeah, he'll be all right when he wakes. Is your arm painful, Father? I am? For you? Oh, that. No, just a little stiff, that's all. The leaf he probably put on it is probably heated by now. Well, what happened when you went out? Well, he caught them out of it just as some Guru and a father he said. But I don't think we'll have any more trouble with them. You didn't. Kill them? No. No, but I think we've killed a desire to work any more magic in our direction. The Chief's son will have an over headache when he comes to thanks to an Guru. Well, I still don't understand what happened, Father. Jack was perfectly normal, and then suddenly he had those pains. What caused them? Well, to be perfectly frank with you, my dear, I don't know. There's only one explanation I'd even attempt to offer. That is, concentration of a very strong mind upon a happening they wish to take place. In this case, it was something very evil. But the process can be reversed, and a lot of good works in the same way. You have not forgotten your promise, White Man. Oh, no, Ifabi. I haven't. I'd like to get a little sleep before we go into the matter. What's that you have there? It is a golden cup. Ifabi wishes you to look at it. Oh, what a beautiful goblet. Great, Scott. Where'd you get this? Look carefully, White Man. Do you know the lettering and the working from the outside? It's ancient Egyptian workmanship with Roman numerals. Why, this piece is worth a fortune. It's when you have slept, White Man. Ifabi will tell you where they're on any more like it. But no man has had the courage to pass through the whispering forest of death to recover them.
