Rainwater, rainwater something else. We had a heck of a discussion on who's better. Webby of Boosie, who had the better project and Rain had this to say. Thank you, it was door one, door three. That's what I'm saying. So, Webby came out the gate, the devil gave him all the tools to destroy himself. Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, here we go, here we go. News you can use, news you can use man. Make sure you guys like, subscribe to the channel. This is another segment that we've added to Boss Talk 101 platform and you guys, man, make sure you like, subscribe, share. You'll see us updating you, giving you things that's happening in today's news. We'll give you things that, we'll give you things sometime that's happening on Boss Talk 101. This is just kind of the streamline to get you guys prepared for what's going on from our perspective or what's going on with the channel, we just wanted to do it this way. So make sure you guys like, subscribe, tell us what you think about the new platform that we've launched, man, and the way that we're doing it now. It's truly something different. We're gonna be trying it out. A lot of things to discuss. This segment is called This Week's Breakdown. This Week's Breakdown. So the first thing we got is, we wanna talk about the things that happened this week on Boss Talk 101, man. Hope you guys enjoyed, man. Like I said, again, like, subscribe, and I tell them. This week's Breakdown, we had a, we put out Baby Sam. Baby Sam is an artist from Houston, lived in LA, between LA and Houston. But Baby Sam comes on Boss Talk 101, gives a spell on ESG. That's his running buddy, that's his partner. ESG actually talked to ESG earlier this week, but definitely ESG is one of those guys, man, that's, you know, from the south, and you know how I am about making sure you guys get the correct information from the south, from the dirty man from Texas, Atlanta, all of these southern states. Even South Carolina, with my boy, Dunkmaster, and just anything that's going on that relevant in Alabama, Mississippi, and we do cover things up tight up on the East Coast. I rock with East and the West Coast, but just from the perspective that down south is covering different things. This week we're talking about what happened this previous week on Boss Talk 101.  Also the fact that he was Charleston White pretty much got him a DP, he ended up getting a DP because he was on video with Charleston White and this is what he had to say. All the way real, like, to sit you out, something I wish was Charleston White. He gon' see y'all be here to fly that 8-star and do your thing, just a drill. He knows all night ESG, Baby Sam, on my dog, Charleston White.    You got a DP for that? Yeah, it's a DP. Don't matter when, but it took place, you know what I'm saying?   So you didn't even know nothing about his whole situation or nothing? You ain't even seen him on the internet. I watched him talk down on the gang culture.   So that's kind of how it went. So it just, you know, DP. Wow, you know this guy, man. Like I said, man, this is the second time I got to rock with him and he's serious about Charleston White got him a DP. Next thing I wanna talk about is, I wanna talk about Martina. Martina says a woman cannot be a pimp.  See, this is what everybody needs to know. A woman cannot, I repeat, cannot be a pimp. Now girls are players too, and you may can be a Mac, master in the art of communication, but you cannot, I repeat, you cannot be a pimp. No woman can ever be a pimp. I don't care if she a stud. I don't care what you are. You cannot be a pimp if you don't have a penis. Okay, you could be a madam, but you cannot be a pimp. There's no ladies pimps. That's a myth. Stop saying it as blasphemy. She seems pretty, she seems pretty during a serious about it too. A woman, and I repeat, cannot be a pimp, you know? And she says that a woman can be a madam, guys. If you've noticed Martina was a one of Kenny Reds' hoes, and we've been covering every subject, just trying to educate people for one, but she's the one that's come out of her lifestyle, so we're having to try to show people what that life consists of. Maybe they can take a true picture of who they really are, and you know, put down a pimp in, you know what I'm saying? So that's one of the things that we have been covering. That's one of the things that we are basically, Martina's dope, man. I love her energy, man, and she definitely, we talk about God often and all kinds of stuff, just trying to, you know, pretty much show love to her and help her in any way we can, and saying by his verse, a man. Another thing that happened came out this week, a segment, Moby Dick. He comes out, Moby Dick, Mr. Ice Cream Man himself. He sung that hook on Master Peace, Mr. Ice Cream Man. He also, he did, he only, he only did just the hooks and a lot of the beats. He's from Beats by the Pound, side to KLC, which is one of my partners, man. Ever since I started his venture, KLC has been rocking with me, but he introduced me to Moby Dick, and this is how this went down at the studio. I compare you to Nate Dogg when he come down there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, people say, yeah, because of the way that you hook in them, you know, the hooks, man. The dope gang, I think these hoes and these niggas ought to give me, man. The way that you was doing your thing, man, you can't deny that that talent is there. But that story, you know, happened here. That was, yeah. Wow, that's hard.  Man, it's crazy. God, I'm making no mistakes. God, I'm making no mistakes.  Ran across my cousin, you know, he never really didn't know that he was doing a promotional tour. Watch the next segments coming out. The clips are coming out this week, man. We got to make sure we watch the clips, watch what's going on, it's going down. Next week, Faze on the Top's about reparations, man.  He don't believe that the credit stuff is official. He feel like that's a way of racism, actually. With slavery, that's what our government gives us. No, America has never said a formal apology. Right. A formal apology. Oh, so you're saying all this happened, yeah.   Yeah, nigga, we said it. So that's why I got a problem with all this. Yeah. You know, I'm not talking about this. I'm like, listen, either we gonna address the problem and you guys gonna apologize number one or do something, because people got mad at me about the rep is the... Yeah. I know what you're talking about. What's it called? Reparations. Reparations. What did you say about reparations? Somebody want to give me this $200,000. Oh yeah, you don't want it?   How much money would make it right? Listen to me, you can't fix it. The problem with that is there's no... Dollar amount. No. For rape? Dope segment, man. Wow. And then, like I said, Faiza and Love clips continue to pop out, man, doing crazy number of millions of views on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. They've been holding us back with Facebook, Instagram, man, all these other TikTok men going crazy. It's getting millions of views. That stuff is not slowing down. But shout out to Faiza, man. Appreciate him for always having a relationship to stop through Boss Talk 101. Next we have Rome. Rome came by Boss Talk 101. Rome, nobody had seen Rome on any level. Rome came by Rome is something else because Rome used to be a pimp. And he talks about 17 holes he had. All of them white, all of them European. But Rome is recovered. Rome, this was what he did in his previous life before he went to prison, before he got all entrepreneurship stuff going now. And this is something you guys gotta realize. We're bringing on people who have pretty much overcame their situation and showing other people that you can have a way out. And Rome is one of those guys. Pimper Ken, shout out to him, he brought him through. These guys are telling extraordinary stories about how they're overcoming these things. So don't get it misconstrued. Sometimes you can get into a clip and think that we're pretty much saying this is the way you should live. No, we're giving people an understanding of what was. And so Rome had those 17 holes. Rome had bought those 17 holes, $250,000 homes. Do you hear me? And also Rome had also turned around and having to count their money. It was $40,000 a month they were spending just on bills and different miscellaneous things. So hey man, shout out to Rome for overcoming that. Rome now is a single parent. Take care of his kids on its own. This is the kind of stuff you guys are hearing on ball style.  Don't save the moment and think that we're trying to uplift. No, we're showing you that people are overcoming these situations. So if you get it twisted, you can turn the narrative. And if that's what you wanna do, that's just where your mind is at. So guys, when you see Martina, when you see Pimper Ken, when you see Martina, when you see Pimper Ken, when you see Rome, when you see all these different people who are overcoming these situations, there's more that's gonna be coming out. The ones who are changing their lives, guys trying to motivate and strategize to help our people that's still in those situations. If you guys can't figure that out, we got problems. Okay, comedian Black Run, man. One of the coldest comedians out the Dallas, Texas area, but he's been everywhere now. He's writing for different comedians out there. He started off writing for Earthquake. If you watch the clips, you'll see that. So these are different people that you see and pop up on Boss Talk 101. Black Run is a cold writer for wildin' out, all type of stuff, man. Be frequent in the 85 South Show. So you guys gotta tap in the Black Run, man. And I love what he does. And this is the, like I say, this week's breakdown. AD, AD leaving no jumper. You guys, if you had watched the clips and some of these clips are still continuing. Come on, we got our first episode of AD, no jumper. First episode of that coming out. He talks about it. He talks about leaving no jumper. He talks about the fact of gotta make sure we stay focused on the fact that, you know, he hadn't moved on, man. These guys are doing crazy. Numbers now a community man and big immunity and it's just dope and it's good to see brothers strategizing and standing on their own too. I think Mr. E Tripody Revenge was also one that came out this week. So the full interview came out on YouTube guys. Gotta check that out, man. It was more three glass movie that he pretty much done. So you gotta, you gotta definitely check that out before he passed away during the time that they were filming this whole situation on Tripody Revenge. Go check that out, man. You got people in there like baby, you got people in there that's pretty much representing our culture, man. Represent our people. So man, Tripody Revenge was one of the things that we drive with Mr. E this week. I believe that sums it up. One thing I got, one more thing. I wanna talk about rainwater, rainwater, something else. We had a heck of a discussion on who's better. Webby of Boosie, who had the better project and rain had this to say. Like you was door one, door three, that's what I'm saying. So Webby came out the gate, the devil gave him all the tools to destroy himself. He barely could talk. Man, I hadn't talked to him lately. I talked to his brother. Yo, I know what I'm saying. He barely, like you look at these still wearing chains from back in the day. And that was my favorite rapper too. Bro, that's just how he is.  That's Sammy, that's what I'm saying.  But when he's so tall, he makes him quits on me. And they got sweet John Jones somewhere on him, nigga. That's my nigga right there too. Have you ever, have you ever, he never evolved? And I can tell you right now, that don't ride with me. You know, I'm telling you PMC was the one that pretty much helped maneuver those guys into the positions that they ended up being in. So, you know, me, I'm PMC all day and he's a part of that whole foundational bill for the webbing boosty movement. So I had to make show, make show that was recognized. And I also had to make show that Randy lost his mind when he's saying that, you know, he said things that was crazy to me like Lil Wayne, more three better than Lil Wayne, more three better than Tupac. Man, this guy right here is a downfall who we rockin' with. And he feel like that. And that's the reason why we had those conversations guys. I'll make sure you guys get in the comments, tell me what you think about this week's breakdown. What do you think about us? Give me you to understand what all happened. That's a lot of clips and lots of things happened in one week. I didn't even mention the fact that Mr. Goddammit, Mr. Goddammit fight thing popped off as well. You, certain things, it's just so much. We put that full video out as well. Believe it was yesterday. So guys, make sure you tap into Boss Talk one on one. Like and subscribe. You're gonna be seeing the breakdown if you guys like it. Hey man, let me know in the comments. Make sure you share our stuff that we're doing here. The things that's happening on news you can use. What's happening on our videos. Make sure you like, subscribe. Make sure you share. Run it down man, run it down. If we don't do it, who gonna do it man? The bosses have spoken. That's my team. That's the people that arrived with me. They send them comments. The bosses have spoken, an organized group of individuals who speak highly on Boss Talk 101. No matter what's going down, man. They jumping them comments. I see them all the time. They're holding this platform up with the fact that we're gonna comment. We're gonna let y'all know we love what y'all are doing. So thank you guys, man, for checking out this week's breakdown. Yeah, I'll let you, boy. Let me see now. Y'all know how to do it at the end. I'm trying to figure out if I got everything. I'm thinking, yeah. Yeah, I think that, that about does it.


I am a very passionate Vim user and if you've watched this channel for any amount of time you know that to be the truth. I really like Vim and I have tried many other text editors over the course of the last few years and I've always come crawling back to Vim because Vim is just the best text editor for me. And I've talked about this many times on the channel before why I think Vim is great, why it's the best text editor for me, why I've spent so much time learning Vim and I've also talked about some of the downsides of Vim too. I'm not a rose-colored glasses kind of guy. I can easily see the flaws in all the things that I use and point them out and make videos about them. So I'm not the kind of guy who was like, rah rah, everything is great about this thing that I use and there's no bad things about it. That's just not the way I am. There is one program that is somewhat similar to Vim that gets a lot of talk in my comment sections and that is Emacs. Now, I have tried Emacs many times over the course of the last two years, probably five times actually and these aren't like, I only tried them for like five minutes and said screw this. I mean, I've tried them in significant portions of time. So at one point I used it for a whole month and I think I've actually done that a couple times and I've even gone so far as the last Emacs video I made saying that I'm never going to use Emacs again. This is my last Emacs video. I've said that before.  Yeah, that's kind of a lie. I did make an Emacs video again. I'm going to make one today. So today, what I'm going to do is talk about five reasons why you should use Emacs and this is coming from a perspective of a guy who doesn't use Emacs and then I'm going to give you one reason why you shouldn't. So balance that out however you will and we'll just go ahead and jump in. So number five, we're actually going to count these things down is that Emacs is primarily a GUI application. So you're going to run this in an application that has capabilities that them does not. And the biggest one is going to be variable font sizes. And that means you can do things like have it so that your markdown actually shows what markdown looks like. So you'll have big headers and links that will look like links and images and things like that. All that stuff is possible inside of Emacs. It's not possible inside of regular VIM or even Neo VIM. So with Emacs being a GUI application or primarily a GUI application, you can do things inside of it that you can't really do inside of them. So that is number five on the list. It's very simple and it does apply to a lot of people because markdown is one of the primary reasons why I would ever use Emacs. And I know a lot of people are like that too. And there are other applications for variable font sizes than just markdown. Of course, number four on the list is that if you use something like do me max and it seems to be fairly popular, it comes out of the box very close to what you would get with an ID. It has very good language support for things like C C plus plus Python Lisp, obviously, Lua, things like that. So if you are a developer and you want to have a IDE experience, Emacs does a better job of that out of the box than VIM does. It's not even really all that close. And that is especially true if you're using something like do me max, which has a lot of stuff enabled that vanilla Emacs doesn't. And obviously it has way more stuff built in to help you program than VIM does. Now, it doesn't mean you can't do all the same stuff inside of VIM when it comes to having language support and having linters and things like that. All that stuff is 100 percent possible in VIM, but you have to build it in with plugins or whatever. It doesn't come out of the box. So number three on the list is that it has great buffer management. Now, VIM also does a good job with managing buffers. So first, let's just explain. A buffer is simply an open document of some kind, whether it's a configuration file or it's a, you know, a project file, whatever. And for a buffer to be a buffer, it has to be part of the same same session. So with VIM, it's very easy to open up a new buffer in a new tab. Or even if you don't use a new tab, it's just open and you can switch between the buffers. You know, you can very easily manage your buffers inside of them. And there are obviously a lot of plugins that help you with this as well. If you want to have more discreet and obvious control over your buffer situation in VIM. In Emacs, all that stuff is built in. You can very easily switch between buffers. You can do tabs if you want to use tabs. You can manage your buffers outside of the buffer that you're in. So if you want to kill a random buffer down the line, you could do so very easily with a key binding. Buffer management is just really good in Emacs, and it has been for a very long time. Now, obviously, in order to do all that stuff, you have to learn the key bindings, but I can't really doc Emacs points simply because it has a lot of key bindings to learn because VIM is the same way. You have to learn a certain amount of key bindings in both Emacs and VIM in order to be comfortable at all, and it's just kind of the way things go. Number two on the list is also one that kind of applies to both VIM and Emacs. But I think Emacs does it better in a lot of ways. So and that is that Emacs is very keyboard-centric. Now, I know what you VIM guys are saying, VIM is also very keyboard-centric. So they're both very much like this. But where Emacs wins, and this is just my opinion, is that it wins in support for key cords. So both of them support key cords, but out of the box, Emacs just does it better. It has a lot of them pre-configured. It has the ability to have a lot of key bindings associated with other key bindings. And you get to learn different combinations, and they're all kind of pre-setup for you, especially if you're going to, again, use something like Doom Emacs. A lot of the bindings that you'll learn are key cords. Vinyl Emacs also has a lot of key cords in it, as well, obviously. So if you like to have very minute control over how your text editor slash ID slash whatever works, key cords will allow you to do that much more effectively and efficiently than you would without them. Now, like I said, VIM does support key cords out of the box, but most of the key bindings that you'll find in VIM are just simple key bindings. There are some key cords set up out of the box, but for the most part, you'll just find regular key bindings and setting them up in Emacs through configuration. I don't know why it feels this way to me, but it's just a little bit easier inside of Emacs than it is in VIM. So I enjoy the key cord situation on Emacs better than I do in VIM. It's pretty close, but it's still I prefer on the Emacs side. Now, the number one reason why you should use Emacs instead of VIM is org mode. Now, this is something that I've not tried all that much. And a lot of my awe and interest in org mode is based on the reputation that it has from other YouTubers and other Emacs users. Org mode basically allows you to do anything that you want to do. It can help you build a website. It can help you organize your configuration files. It will help you if you write a lot of like a novel or something like that. If you write markdown regularly, it does a ton of stuff and allows you to, as the name implies, organize the files that you play around in. It does a very good. It's kind of like VIM Wiki on the VIM side, although it's much more powerful than VIM Wiki. Basically, what it allows you to do on the base level, at least I'm sure it does a lot more, but it allows you to create a hierarchy of links to inside of your document, outside of your document. And it just kind of organizes everything inside of a document or a file. And that means that you can do any number of things. It also has things like code blocks and the ability to compile from an org mode. So if you were to, say, create a program or a website or whatever, you could translate all of your organized document, which is basically just like a markdown document into an HTML document very easily. So org mode is very, very powerful. And I'm sure I'm not doing a very good job of explaining why it's so good. But there are tons of tutorials and stuff like that on the YouTube, on the internet elsewhere, explaining the power and joy of org mode. And it's just not really anything that VIM can compete with without doing a ton of extra work. OK, so those are the five reasons why you should try Emacs. There are probably several other ones out there that I didn't mention. Some of the things that I've read about Emacs will say that it's faster than them. I don't know that that's actually true or not. I haven't really seen a big speed difference. Some things that I've read say that Emacs is more customizable than them. I'm not sure that that's even true, simply because both have very robust plug-in systems. And you can basically do anything with a plug-in on either side. Now, obviously, you have the ability to do things in a GUI that you don't in a terminal. So, you know, Emacs does have that advantage, but still both are very customizable. So I don't think one wins over another there. So there are other things that I could have added to this list, but I chose these five. So let's move on to the last part of the video. The one reason why I don't think you should use Emacs. And this is one that I've talked about before, so this is not going to come as a surprise to anybody. But the one reason why you should not use Emacs is that it's bloated. Now, hold on, Emacs, guys. I know that that's not the right term, because Emacs isn't technically bloated. It's a Elisp interpreter. That's what it does. That's really all it does. And then the people who have developed Emacs have built stuff on top of it. That's what they've done. And Emacs is a suite of the stuff that has been built on top of this interpreter. That's the way it is, right? It's kind of, it's not a perfect metaphor, but it's kind of like system D. System D is a collection of stuff. Emacs is also a collection of stuff. You can kind of compare those two things, but that's beside the point. Really the better way to put this, other than the whole bloat argument, is that Emacs comes with a lot of stuff. And if all you're looking for is a text editor, if that's really all you're truly looking for, then Emacs is going to be way more than you'll ever need. It has a ton of extra development stuff in there that you're never going to probably need. And it has a ton of plugins and stuff like that that are available to you that you'll never need. It has games in there that you'll never need. It has an email client. It has a torrent client, stuff like that. Now, obviously a lot of that stuff you have to turn on, but it's there, right? And it has capabilities far beyond just a text editor. So when it comes to if you are just a person looking for a text editor, Emacs may be a little bit heavy for you. And it also might have a learning curve that is more intensive than what you're looking for. So Emacs may not be for you if all you're looking for is a text editor. Now, if I'm being objective here, Vim has some of the same complaints. Now, I am 100% on the side of saying that Vim out of the box is way less encumbered with features than Emacs is. If all you're using is regular Vim out of the box with no plugins, it doesn't have all the frills and development stuff that Emacs has out of the box. It just doesn't. So if you're looking for something that is more minimal right out of the box, Vim is there. But a lot of the things that I can plan about Emacs with, the email client and the torrent client and all this stuff, a lot of that stuff has to be enabled, right? So you can consider them plugins. They're basically plugins. And while they're not exactly the same thing as a Vim plugin, Vim also has those things that you can enable. Now, I don't think that there's an email client in Vim. I don't think that there's a torrent client in Vim, but it has a similar ecosystem of stuff that you could add on to it. So in theory, you could compare them and say that they both have the equal chance to have extra stuff on top of them that you don't really need. And I suppose that that is an okay argument. I would probably argue that because Vim is more simple out of the box in terms of not having extra features, it probably wins the crown of being better for new users. But I'm super biased there because I like Vim. The real argument for this, if you're just a simple person looking for a simple text editor, neither of these two is probably your better option. You'll probably want to go with something like Micro or something like Nano. Both of those are very, very simple text editors that don't have all the cruft that both Emacs and Vim have along with them, even just out of the box. Now, neither one of them is as extensible as Vim or Emacs. So if you're looking to do some more development work, Micro and Nano may not be your best choice, but they are really good choices if all you're looking for is a text editor. And I know that I make fun of people who use Nano. That's just me trying to be funny, not succeeding at being funny. Nano is a perfectly fine text editor and if that's all you need, Nano is a good option. Also Micro is a more advanced version of Nano. So if you're looking for something that's a little bit more than Nano, but less than Vim or Emacs, Micro might be a good option for you as well. So those are the reasons on both sides. And the question then comes down to Matt, are you switching to Emacs again? To answer that it's no, I'm not switching to Emacs again. I just, Emacs is like a pretty girl. Now, this is a really weird metaphor. I'm sorry about this, but it's a pretty girl that you know is really unattainable, right?  Like Emacs is very attractive, mostly because of org mode. Org mode has such a reputation around it as being so amazing that you wanna go use it. But then you realize she's also really high maintenance. She needs a six figure income from her man in order to be happy with the lifestyle that she wants to lead. So yeah, she's unattainable for me. That's the reason why I don't choose Emacs. That is either it's either the best metaphor I've ever come up with or the worst. I'm not sure which one. You let me know in the comments section. I'd love to hear from you. I know that this is going to be a very interesting comment section.  I'd love to hear from you. You guys can follow me on Mastodon or Odyssey if you want to challenge me to a duel over Emacs or VIM. You can probably better do that on Mastodon. So head on over there and follow me. You can support me on Patreon at Patreon.com slash Linuxcast, links for YouTube and Liberapay will be in the video description. Thanks to everybody who does support me on Patreon and YouTube, you guys are all absolutely amazing. Without you, the challenges would not be anywhere near where it is right now. So thank you so very much for your support. I truly do appreciate it. You guys are all just amazing. So thank you so much. Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time.


Well, good morning, Mr. Alvalapia, thank you for joining us today. So we're seeing most rotorcraft now, they're still having the same designs, and they haven't really changed since like the 1950s to the 70s. And there's been a bit of stagnation in the aviation market, things like lack of fuel efficiency, performance, affordability, etc. So can you tell us a little bit about why do you think there's been a lack in rotary wing innovation in the past few decades? My way of thinking is that the nature of innovation has changed. It hasn't stopped, it's changed. And you're seeing sort of a mirror of what we've seen in the jetliner business. The optimal shape for a jetliner was arrived at in the 60s, you know, potted engines under swept wings and some kind of rounder oval fuselage. It hasn't really changed very much. And it's the same with a rotorcraft. You've had tremendous progress in avionics, turbine engines, onboard self-protection systems, data connectivity, transmissions, so many other areas that, frankly, they've eclipsed the importance of the airframe shape or configuration. What do you think the prospects are for the future vertical lift initiative? I don't think there's anything important that needs to be done here. And I think this program will probably collapse under its own weight. Around the time it gets going as a procurement program, sometime I expect early in the next decade. The reality is that the value proposition from all the other improvements you're seeing in this business, the engines, the avionics, the what have you, will simply make those upgrades much more affordable and a compelling value proposition. Thank you so much for this interview. Pleasure. Thank you.


So we talked about the don't say gay bill a couple of weeks ago on my program but I wasn't necessarily sure if Rhonda Santis would endorse it. I had a feeling that he would in the event it made it to his desk and Yeah, he's basically tassily suggesting that it is good. He's signaling support for it So this is from NBC News Florida Governor Rhonda Santis voiced his support for a bill that would prohibit the discussion of sexual orientation and gender Identity in the state's primary schools. So just pause for a moment right there were one sentence in Can anyone think of the number of ways that this can go horribly wrong? if you are a teacher and You accidentally happen to bring up your partner who's the same-sex partner. Does that qualify here? If a student on their own accord brings up that they have same-sex parents and then the teacher responds to that and Acknowledges it in any way shape or form Are they gonna be you know violating this law? This can go wrong in a billion different ways. That's just the more Unforeseen consequences of this bill the immediate consequence of a bill like this is that it's harmful to LGBTQ plus youth because if you are Not able to access Information or education with respect to LGBTQ plus issues the suicide rate is higher for you if you're younger I mean young LGBTQ plus people are incredibly vulnerable So this will kill LGBTQ plus kids if this has passed and that's not hyperbole But they don't care they don't care at all as by reporters at a Miami event Monday He said it was entirely inappropriate for teachers to be having conversations with students about gender identity Setting instances of them telling children don't worry. Don't pick your gender yet And also hiding classroom lessons from parents Schools need to be teaching kids to read to write DeSantis said they need to teach them science History do they though because you'll complain about that too if you teach them science That's bad if you teach them history, then you're gonna say that that's critical race theory So are you sure about that around DeSantis? Is there anything that's acceptable for you? We need more civics and understanding of the US Constitution. What makes our country unique all those basic stuff Yeah, maybe we should be teaching fucking grammar to Ron The larger issue with all of this is parents must have a seat at the table when it comes to what's going on in their schools He added although DeSantis stopped short of commitment to sign the bill into law It was the first time the Republican governor signaled his support for the measure since it was proposed by the state's House of Representatives last month Echoing DeSantis Proponents of the parental rights and education bill dubbed by critics as the don't say gay bill Argued that discussions about LGBTQ issues are not age-appropriate for students So I just what is the expectations of these people do they think that?   It's policy that is deadly But the reason why the GOP continues to use LGBTQ plus kids as political footballs Is because they don't have anything else to offer, right?  It's it's truly sickening. It's gross Now Biden's administration had apparently Seen that the Santa signal support and so Biden is saying that he's gonna he's gonna fight this How are you gonna fight this Biden? What are you gonna do? I mean are you are you gonna get mansion and cinema's permission to pass a bill? You're gonna get rid of the filibuster. What are you gonna do?  So what are you what's different about this? What are you gonna do?   Have you seen anyone talk about this? Not many people seem to care or even know that this is happening Nobody's talking about this.  Where are they? Isn't this their cup of tea? Well, of course not you see because freedom of speech only in so far as we allow You know the far right to have their freedom of speech But we don't ever want to seem a little bit too woke because then that would be bad And we can't win over the far right or right wingers in general So, you know, we'll shut our mouths when it comes to actual violations of freedom of speech Where the state cracks down on what you can and can't say we'll be silent there And we'll just focus on like Joe Rogan's freedom of speech that 100 millionaire He needs your support when it comes to freedom of speech Not teachers in Florida is the whole situation is frustrating, you know, um Conversations about freedom of speech online and left to circles. They only you know are tailored to discussing whether or not the platforming Person a and b is bad when sure you can you can have these conversations but this is Huge this is like it cuts straight to the core of the issue. This is the government's engaging in censorship and Nobody even cares like what is going on?


Now, as gunshots echo across the wind-swept snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker pup wheat and Quaker pup rice, the breakfast cereal shot from guns, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the northwest modern police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Goal, goal discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the gold rush, with Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon. Man oh man, what a treat it is to dive into a heaping bowl full of Quaker Puffed Rice or Quaker Puffed Wheat topped with milk in your favorite fruit. Mmm, what a breakfast! Say, these king-size, ready-to-serve premium grains of wheat or rice are shot from guns. Yes, actually exploded up to eight times normal size to make them crisp and tender, bigger and better tasting. Tomorrow sure, get off to a flying start with this breakfast treat. Quaker Puffed Rice or Quaker Puffed Wheat? Sergeant Preston of the northwest modern police was returning to Dawson City from his regular patrol. It was a clear bright day and even the dog seemed to be in high spirits as they pulled the sled swiftly over the smooth trail. King, the sergeant's lead dog, raised his head and gave a welcoming bark as a man came out of the woods up ahead. As they approached him, the mountain recognized Jean Dupré, a friendly French-Canadian trapper. Oh, you huskies! Hello, Jean. How are you? Sergeant Preston, it is you. Bonjour! Bonjour! And that fine dog king. Hey, you hear him say hello to me? He remembers you all right. You been hunting? We. And I have very good luck. Just a little while back, I killed Big Moose back here in the woods. I go back to my cabin now to get Dog Team to pull him home. Well, your cabin's quite far from here. How about letting me take the Moose in for you? I've had an easy patrol and had a schedule. Well, that would save me much time and work, Sergeant. You are very kind. Dogs are fresh. I haven't been far today. Be glad to do it. Merci. For this, I will give you fine dinner when we get back to my cabin. A good steak of that Moose we bring back. That will taste good, no? I was hoping you'd suggest that, Jean. I haven't had a good meal of fresh meat for over a week. Lead the way. Un-King! Un-New! Un-New! Un-New! Un-New! As Sergeant Preston and Jean approached the carcass of the Moose about a mile back in the forest, they saw the ground around it stained crimson and bits of hide and bones strewn about. The Moose stopped the yelping dog some distance from the dead animal. Un-King! Fire, Huskies! Fire! Fire now! Nom de nom! Some animal had been here since I leave. Jean, it looks as if a wolf had his dinner off your hoes. He must take some with him. No wolf could eat so much in such a short time. Say, look at these tracks. No wolf made these unless it's the biggest wolf in the Yukon. Ah, them look like tracks of big dogs. A very big dog. I wonder what kind he is. Look at these tracks. It is clear and snow. Might be a saint ben-nired. Maybe he may good sled dog if we catch him. Let's track him, Jean. I'd like to get a look at him. We. So would I. I'll take King with us and leave the team here.  This track, they lead this way. As the trapper and the moody followed the huge tracks of the dog through the woods, they came to a small clearing. Here again, the fresh snow was stained and trampled, and King wind and growled as they approached it. Quiet, King. Look, Sergeant, here is where that dog eat what he carry away. See, Mark's on snow. Buddy, he didn't eat alone. Look at these tracks. Huh? A wolf.  Must be his mate. Sad, though. Can't understand why the wolf didn't go with him with the dead moose. That is strange. Maybe wolf is afraid of man sent, and dog he is not. Man sent around a carcass doesn't bother wolves and his fresh meat to be had. Must be another reason. They cannot be far away from here. Let's keep on following them, Gene. Well, I'd better put a leash on King, though. Come here, fella. I want you to carry those animals away, old boy. There. Now you can help us track them without getting too far ahead of me. Maybe from top of that hill we can see them. That's where the tracks lead. Come on, King. After the boy. Though Sergeant Preston and Gene traveled fast, it was some time before they neared the pair they were seeking. The tracks at times led over a hard, smooth crust of snow, and the moody and trapper could not have followed them if King had not led them, following the scent rather than trusting to his eyes alone. At last they topped a small ridge that ran near a creek. King growled softly, and the sergeant knew they were close to their quarry. He cautioned Gene. Take it easy, Gene. You can tell by King's actions we're close. It is good the wind she blow toward us. Be careful when we get to the top of this ridge. Creek runs along the other side of it, and then we have a cave and a blind one. They have trees on top of ridge. They hide us if we come up behind them. Good idea, Gene. This way, King. Here we are. You see anything? Look. Another side of creek. What a dog. Sleepy night, I thought so. With a small grey one, she is female wolf. This is made all right. Something funny about this. She walks so close to me that beside him, I'm right behind him. I wonder... Me, I am good shot. From here I could kill her without hurting that dog. Don't shoot her, Gene. I don't know now what's wrong with her. That was blind. Blind? That's why the dog bought her the food. See how he's guiding her to that cave inside those rocks there? Look. You're right, sergeant. She cannot see. She almost bumped into that rock. This I have never seen before. He's a beautiful dog. Look at those markings. Quite rough around his neck. Lying down in front of the cave, I'm going to have a close look at them to my field glasses. Will you shoot her and get him for sled dog? No, Gene. That dog has fought some hard battles for her. His face is scarred, and part of his left ear is gone. Here, look at him through the glasses. We, sergeant, you are right.  A pair like that should not be separate. But he would make fine sled dog. If anything happens to her, he'll probably return to civilization. Oh, come on, Gene. Let's go back. We shall. No, old boy. You did a nice job of tracking them, but this is as far as we're going. Come on, King. We have to get back to Dawson. It was two nights after Sergeant Preston got back to Dawson that he was wakened after midnight by Ned Peterson, a prospector who lived in the town. Wind whistled about the barracks, and a heavy snowstorm piled drifts in the street. Ned looked like a snowman as he talked to the molly. There's been a bank robbery, sergeant. Somebody robbed the bank and slugged the guard. Don't be dressed in a minute, Ned. Go on, tell me about it. I stayed late at the gold nugget. He was having a game, and when I started home, I noticed the door of the bank swinging open and shut with the wind. I went over to see what had happened to Jim Kerr, the guard, and there he was on the floor unconscious.  He had a bad cut. How long ago do you think it happened? Well, I couldn't say, Sergeant. Jim was very weak, so I got him on a cart and bound up his head and come straight here for you. Hand me my parking net, please. Here you are, Sergeant. Thanks. See anybody on the street? No. Of course, the wind was blowing something fierce. I was bent over to keep the snow out of my eyes, but I think I'd have seen anyone with a dog team. I'm ready. Come on. Come on, King. Sergeant Preston hurried to Ned's house where Jim Kerr lay unconscious. The Mountie applied cold towels to Jim's head and presently Jim opened his eyes and looked around in a bewildered manner. Take a swallow of this, Jim. That's it. A little more now. Now, Liepack, you're going to be all right. Sergeant Preston, the bank... We know it was Rob, Jim. If I could try to talk to you a stronger... I'm all right. I can talk. Is it more than one man? Yeah, two. Did all of them? Have you seen them before? Never. Just got one look at the one who hit me. Would you know him if you saw him again? I don't know. Maybe it was just the way the light was shining, but it looked as if he had a long crooked nose like a beak. A long crooked nose? Do you know anyone like that, Ned? Well, lots of people have crooked noses, Sergeant, long and sharp. His beard was black. That's all I can remember. Well, thanks, Jim. I'll just take it easy. There ain't much to go on, Sergeant. About a hundred people in this town have crooked noses and black beards. Look at me. I got a black beard, and my nose is all mashed to one side from that fight I got into last summer. Why does it make you a suspect, Ned? Jim knows almost everyone in town if there's been anyone from here who'd have recognized him. This man must have been a complete stranger. He sure picked a perfect night to make a getaway. His tracks would be covered almost as soon as he makes them. But you've got to go on, Sergeant. I'd say he was pretty safe. It's not as bad as you think, Ned. The fact that the man's crooked nose was the first thing Jim noticed means it's his most prominent feature. I've had less than that to go on before. You've solved some tough ones, all right, Sergeant, but if this weather keeps up all day tomorrow, you'll have a hard time finding out where he went. You're right about that. We only knew which direction he took. And again, he might be right here in town. Yes, King Old Boy, this looks like a hard case. The weather favored the two men who had robbed the bank in Dawson City. The following day, the wind had died down somewhat, and the snow still fell thickly, covering their tracks with a concealing blanket of white.  And it's all a question of timing. I knew we'd get away with this if we waited until the weather was right. Yes, yes. They'll never be able to track us now. Coming north instead of going towards the border makes it doubly safe. We can make a wide circle and hit the trail to the border later. Hey, look at that lead dog. He's hopping on three legs and stopping the team.  Here, his foot is bleeding.  The taste of the whip, that'll make him use it. There's no use doing that, Nick. Hey, this cut is deep. He can't pull with this one. Well, a rotten luck. He's the strongest dog we've got, and this is a heavy load. It's hard enough for the five dogs to pull it as it is. I guess we'll have to take turns helping to pull with him. What'll we do with that dog? I'm not putting him on the sled. The load's too heavy. Well, all we can do is let him go. Nick, you'll follow us? No, sir. He'll go off in the woods and go wild again. These huskies like their freedom. I sure hate to let him go. It's a lucky thing for him, this happened. He had a tough job ahead. There you are, Ty. Get going. You take the first turn at the traces, Joe. I'll spell you when you're tired. Sure, but this is gonna hold us up.  We can't waste time. We'll continue our story in just a moment. Hmm. I wonder if we're going to have a visitor today. Well, sure enough. Hello there. Hi, pal. Say, you the felon charge here? Well, I... Pleasure to meet you. Name's Scoop, star reporter. That's me. It's a pleasure, Scoop. What can we do for you? Well, sir, just looking around. Never tell where you'll run into a live wire story. Ah, maybe we can fix you up, right here. For instance, how about a story on breakfast? Breakfast? You kidding? No. Ever hear of Quakerpuff rice and Quakerpuff wheat? Sure, pal. Everybody's heard about them. They're shot from guns. Well, Scoop, did you ever taste anything better? Boy, Quakerpuff rice and Quakerpuff wheat just melt in your mouth. Make breakfast a real treat. Confidentially, pal. I never tried them. What? Oh, look, Scoop. You don't know what you're missing. Here, try some now.  Even got milk and sugar on them. Just taste these delicious, luscious, king-sized golden grains. Man, oh, man. They're exploded up to eight times normal size to make them crisp and tender. Hmm. Not bad. In fact, they're terrific. You bet. And Quakerpuff rice tastes just as swell, too. Wow. Where has Quakerpuffed wheat and Quakerpuffed rice been all my life? What a story. Gotta write this one up fast. Thanks, pal, in so long. Well, sir, fellas and girls, I'll bet it's no news to you. I mean that for a swell-tasting breakfast, you can't beat Quakerpuffed rice or Quakerpuffed wheat. The ready-to-serve breakfast cereal shot from gun. And what's good news, too, is that wheat or rice shot from guns is good for you. Furnish's added food values have restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin, and iron. So be sure to keep a supply of both delicious kinds on hand at all times. Remember, wheat or rice shot from guns is never sold in bags or bulk. Look for the famous big red and blue package with the smiling Quakerman on the front. That way, you're sure to get the original, the one and only, Quakerpuffed wheat and Quakerpuffed rice. Now to continue our story. It was later that day when Nick and Joe took the trail that led through the forest. The soft snow made their progress difficult. Nick broke the trail ahead while Joe hauled on the traces of the tired dogs. Suddenly, Nick stopped. Joe, listen. Now, what is it, Nick? I heard something over to the left beyond the trees. That sounds like a big dog. He's supposed there's a cabin back there in the woods. I don't think so. He sounds like he's in trouble. Let's try to trap or something. Come on, let's find out. If there's a trap with him, maybe he'll sell them to us. As the two men made their way toward the sound, they could see nothing that resembled a dog. But as they came closer, they found a huge hole dug in the ground. Branches had been spread over it, but these were broken and the dog's barking came from the hole. The dog is in that hole. That's a bear trap. The Indians and the Eskimos catch bear like that. Maybe our luck has changed, Joe. Here it is. Hey. Our luck sure has changed. Look at him, Nick. A big Saint Bernard. He's just what we need.  He could drag our sled alone, almost. He'll be careful. He may be ugly. He's had plenty of fights. His left ear is half gone. He won't be ugly. He's too eager to get out of there. Now, come on. We'll get ropes from this sled. It's a whip. The big Saint Bernard tried hard to escape. The men used ropes and a whip and finally got the dog hitched to the traces and started out. Nick and Joe took turns riding the runners of the sled as the big dog strained at the front of the team. When darkness fell, the men camped in a small clearing. The dogs were chained to the trees and lay in small, furry heaps exhausted. The deep silence of the Northland had settled about them when suddenly from a distance there came a long, lonely cry. The big Saint Bernard raised his head and then the cry came again, drifting through the night like the call of a lonely ghost. The big dog rose and with a growl tried to break his chain. Joe, Joe, what's wrong with that dog? Oh, I see. Light down you. Is he trying to get away again? Joe just broke this chain. Wish we had a heavy one. And I'll put a rope on him too, that ought to hold him. The following morning, Jean Dupre starting for his trap line saw two men camped off the trail. As he approached them, he noticed the big Saint Bernard chained to the tree and he stopped his dog team near the campfire where Joe was cooking breakfast. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! What are you doing, sir? You a camp here for tonight? Looks like it, don't it? That is fine big dog you got there. That's Saint Bernard. Yeah, he's worth three ordinary ones. Would you like to trade for a couple of yours? Who's this, Joe? I was trying to make a bargain with him, trading him that Saint Bernard. We don't want to do any trading. On your way, Frenchie, mind your own business. Me? I am just stopped to say push on. You insult me.  He didn't mean to insult you. We don't want any trouble. Mind your own business, he say.  I told you not to talk to anybody. He's just a trapper. Would have looked suspicious if I hadn't. What's the idea trying to trade that Saint Bernard? He keeps trying to break away all the time. Twice he's spread the links on a big chain. I don't know if we can hold him. Plenty of whippers all he needs. Another heavy snowstorm began that day. And Jean Dupré came back to his cabin as soon as the early darkness fell. A light was burning inside. And as he entered, the welcome odor of stew greeted him. Sergeant Preston turned from the stone. Sergeant! Bonjour. Hello, Jean. Hope you're all fine if I make myself at home. Sergeant, it made me very happy to come home and find warm cabin and supper cooking that does not harm the Jean. Hello, King. I still isn't as good as yours, Jean, but I'll let you have the finishing touches. I saw your dog tied outside. That means you spend the night here? No. I like to. It's all right with you. You know it is pleasure to have you. You were on regular patrol? Yes. I'm also trying to find some men who robbed a bank in Dawson. I have no idea who they are and where they went, but I may pick up a lead somewhere. Bank robbera. Do you know what these men look like? I have a vague description of one of them, but it applies to about every third man in the Yukon territory. I hope you do not think I do it. No, Jean, you're not a suspect. Today, I see something that makes me very unhappy. Unhappy? You remember that fine dog we see that takes so good care of his mate, the blind wolf? Yes. Some men have caught him. They use him for sled dog. His left ear is half chewed off. It is the same one I see through field glasses. Well, I guess if they caught him there's nothing anybody could do about it. It's too bad, dawg. Me. I am so mad inside I almost get in fight with a man who insults me. Insulted you? He is not very friendly. When I ask about dawg, he say to mine my own business. I say if he insults me, I twist that ugly beak he has for nose. Oh, I'm very mad. It's very long and crooked. Ever seen him before? No.  That's the way Ned described the bank robber and nose like a beak. Where were these men, Jean? Which way were they going? They are on trail in woods five miles from here. But the snow and the wind cover all track. I cannot tell if they go east or west.  Even if we got back to the place where they camp last night, we won't get any sign of their trail. That is true. And maybe this is not man you look for. Best lead I've had. You sure that was the same dawg? Do you remember how he was marked? The one we saw had an unusual white ruff. Came down to a sharp point on his chest. Did this one have that marking? Well, Sergeant, me, I do not know dawgs like you. I see only that ear half chewed. I do not look for markings. If I were sure that was the dawg, I could send a complete description of him to the border. I remember exactly how that dawg looked. The man who talked to me, he said this dawg tried to get away all the time. I think maybe he's tried to get back to his mate. Jean, the place we saw that St. Bernard isn't far from here, is it? I mean, where the wolf and he had their cave? No, that is close. It takes just half hour to get there. Tomorrow morning we're getting up early and going there. But Sergeant, the robbers, they would not be there. There's a chance but I can't let this lead drop. If the dawg isn't with his mate and there aren't any tracks of his around, we'll know these men have him. Another thing, if a mate doesn't come back this wolf might try to follow him by scent even though she's blind. I do not think she can. Anyway, we're going to find out if that St. Bernard is missing. We'll go there in the morning, Jean. The snow had stopped during the night and the pale morning sunlight shone from a clear sky as the mountain with King Visidium followed Jean toward the wolf lair. As they topped the hill and overlooked the creek, the sergeant stopped and dug out his field glasses. I can see that cave from here, Jean. But I have to look through my glasses before we get too close. There's a sign of them. There's a single set of tracks leading away from the cave. I can't tell from here what kind of tracks they are. I guess we'll have to go down there. Sergeant, you hear that? Yes, it will fall. Quiet, King. It'd come from that way, from that hill. I can see it, Jean. On top of that next hill, she's all alone. Poor thing. She starved without that dog to get her food. He's gone. She wouldn't be up there without him. And she cannot follow him or she would not be here. He doesn't dare leave this territory, I suppose. She can find a way back to the cave otherwise she'd be lost. Maybe it would be kind to shoot him. Let's wait a while, Jean. I'll telegraph that description of the St. Bernard to the border to slim lead, but it may work. What's wrong with you, boy? Quiet, King. He's looking down there in the valley. Let's see what it is. I have heard a dog bark, Sergeant. There is something down there, in the snow. I see him through my glasses, Jean. It's a big St. Bernard with a broken chain on his collar.  It is one I see. He has escaped. These men, they cannot hold him. And he's breaking a trailer yard wide through that snow. King and I can backtrack him and get on the trail of the men who had him.  I'm on snowshoes taking the same shortcut that dog cut. He's broken a nice trail through the snow for King. We should be able to catch those men before nightfall. One, King. The sun was sinking toward the west as Joe and Nick plotted toward it. Joe was helping the four-dog team pull a heavy sled through the thick snow while Nick broke the trail ahead. Suddenly he staggered and almost fell. The dog stopped and lay down in their tracks. I... I got a scab, Nick. I... I got a scab, Nick. I got a scab, Nick. I... I can't go any farther. All right. We'll rest for a while. It's not going to be easy to get to the border with these four mangy cures. They can hardly crawl now. Well, what are they barking at?  There's a man coming along the trail on snowshoes. Hey. He's got a big dog with him. Maybe he'll sell him to us. Yeah. That's a good-looking animal. We got plenty of money. Maybe we can make a deal. Good evening. You been about to make camp? No, we were resting. We lost one of our dogs, and it's rough going without him. We had to help hold the sled ourselves. It's heavy. We were just thinking, mister, maybe you'd be willing to sell us that doggy here. We'd give you double what he's worth. And I imagine you'd be able to do it. With what you stole from the Dawson Bank? Sergeant Preston, Northwest Nonder Police.  I will have when I examine the load you're carrying. You, get up and pull that canvas back. I want to see what you're carrying on that sled. Nick, what do you think? Sure, Joe. Let him look. It's the only way he'll find out he picked down the wrong people. As Sergeant Preston bent over the sled, his back was half turned toward Nick. Quickly, Nick's hand stole inside his pocket. And the son caught a glint of steel as he withdrew his gun. But at that moment, King sprang... Hey, get off me! Take off my arm! All right, take him away. Get back. I've got his gun. Get up, Nick. This was all I needed to be sure I had the right men. You turned away on purpose. Yes. I knew King was watching you. Mm-hmm. This gold is in the Bank of Dawson. On a charge of robbery and attempted murder, you two are under arrest in the name of the Queen. How did your trailers hear that snow? If I tell you that you were caught because of a blind wolf and her mate's loyalty, you probably wouldn't believe it. A blind wolf? What are you talking about? It's a long story. Maybe I'll tell it to you on the way back to jail. Watch them, King. Yes, old fella. This case is closed. In just a moment, Sergeant Preston will give you a preview of Monday's program. Say, here's a tip. Team up with a breakfast that's so popular with many a He-Man Hollywood movie star. It's well-tasting, Quaker-puffed wheat or Quaker-puffed rice with milk and fruit. Check up right now. Make sure to have a good supply of both delicious kinds on hand for this coming weekend. And never forget, wheat or rice shot from guns is never sold in bags or bulk. Always buy the big Quaker-red-and-blue package. That's your guarantee you're getting the original, crisp, fresh, Quaker-puffed rice and Quaker-puffed wheat. These radio dramas, a feature of the challenge of the Yukon Incorporated, are created and produced by George W. Trendo, directed by Fred Flower Day and supervised by Charles D. Livingston. The part of Sergeant Preston is played by Paul Sutton. They are brought to you every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the same time by Quaker-puffed wheat and Quaker-puffed rice. The breakfast cereal shot from guns. Listen Monday when Sergeant Preston and Yukon King meet the challenge of the Yukon in the adventure of Mutiny on the Penguin. The Penguin was a schooner. Her master was engaged in a scientific survey. King and I saw the schooner off-shore when we arrived at Nescombe a village. I went aboard to deliver mail, little suspecting that the mail would start a mutiny. But that's what happened. The captain and I were locked in a cabin. The ship was set on fire and, well, we had a mighty hot time. Be sure to hear this exciting story Monday. Till then, this is J. Michael wishing you good-bye, good luck and good health from Quaker-puffed wheat and Quaker-puffed rice. So long. For a delicious hot breakfast, eat Quaker-oats. The giant of the cereals is Quaker-oats. Yes, the giant of the cereals is Quaker-oats. Delicious, nutritious, makes you feel ambitious. The giant of the cereals is Quaker-oats. Say, boys and girls, do you want to be a star someday in sports and activities? Then start on good Quaker-oats breakfast tomorrow, because nourishing oatmeal is better than any other whole grain cereal. Still less than...


Ms. Griffin, some people say that because we're moving towards mobile, we really don't have to keep a lot of the protections on the books from the 96 Act for the land-based wireline services. What are the potential unintended consequences of removing protections that were built into the 1996 Act? Well, I think, first of all, whether it's a mobile call or a landline call, when someone places a phone call, they expect it to work, and a lot of times they're expecting the exact same guarantees they had on the traditional copper network, even if they're making the call via a wireless network. Also wireless networks rely on wireline networks for their backbone service, so we can't ignore wireline just because more people have cell phones. And additionally, 100 million people still have traditional copper-based service, and 85 million of those people have it in addition to another type of voice service, usually wireless. I don't think that's because they like paying two bills. I think that's because they get protections from the landline service they don't get elsewhere.
