I'm going to impose on you here this morning for taking your questions that there are a number of major issues being discussed on the Hill today, INF ratification, and a Contra aid bill, but I want to take a couple of minutes if I could to talk to you about the trade bill. America is now in its 64th month of economic expansion. That's the longest peacetime expansion in the history of our country, and we're still going strong. GOSH national product is up, exports are up, and we continue to create new jobs, 15.5 million since the expansion began. There's no time for protectionism. I could argue that there's never a time for it, but now is definitely not the time. It's not the time for mandatory retaliation against our trading partners, and it's not the time to violate our GATT agreements. And it certainly is not the time to close our borders to foreign investment while we're pressing to open other borders to U.S. investors. We can pass a trade bill that will improve our current trade laws, protecting patents and copyrights and streamlining export controls and renewing negotiating authority that makes historic compacts like the Canada Free Trade Agreement possible. We can have that kind of a trade bill, and I won't sign one unless we do. But now that's enough of that, and I'm pleased to see you and have you all here frequently throughout these last several years. We've gone out and invited people like yourselves who are outside the White House press corps or even the Beltway press to come in here, and it's always been a pleasure to take your questions. So, Mr. President, we often hear local officials complain that your budget priorities force them to swallow federal programs they can't afford so they reach their taxing limits and cut basic services. Do you take responsibility for what California counties, for instance, call their unrelenting fiscal crisis? They're unrelenting what? Fiscal crisis. Well, the reverse of all of that is really true. There are some programs that we have, we've cut simply because we've been able to make administrative improvements. I came here with a memory fresh in my mind as governor of California, coming across a government program to help the media in which the administrative overhead was two dollars for every dollar delivered to a needy person and set out to do something about that. Some programs we have thought are not proper for the federal government, but at the same time, one of the things that have been imposed on local and state government by the federal government was the usurpation of authority and autonomy that belonged at the local and state level. And the federal government actually had acquiescence in that over a great many years by simply taking up so much of the taxing potential that not enough was left for local or state government for the things that they might want to do. And this then was the excuse for the federal government to step in with things that, as I say, properly belong to that other level. Well, now, with our very beginning of our recovery program, it was based on tax reductions and the idea of thus reopening sources of taxation that other elements of government or levels of government could call upon. Are they in trouble then just because they haven't been willing to raise taxes? Take advantage of that? I would have to see the specific case as to what that was about. But I'd like to call your attention that the federal or the state and local governments basically have, while we've been running deficits, budget deficits have basically been achieving surpluses. As a matter of fact, if you take the total national deficit and add in local and state governments, the total cost of all government in the United States, you would find that the deficit is not as what it isn't. There are other countries that have greater deficits than we do. If you figure all of that, it's at the federal level that we're still excessively spending. And I could call attention to the fact that way back in 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran for office. Part of his platform was to restore authority and autonomy to states and local governments that had been unjustly seized by the federal government. And we have a program we call federalism in which we're trying to restore fully that concept that the United States is a federation of sovereign states. Thank you. Mr. President, if you could change one major policy decision that you've made during your administration, what do you think it would be? Well, all of them were made in good faith, changed or not. Just offhand, I can't think, well, I can think of one that turned out so disastrously that we had to withdraw from it. And that is that we and a company of three other countries, four countries, in an effort to try and bring peace in the Middle East and to Lebanon, that when we discovered that the Lebanese military forces, well, Lebanon itself was occupied by military groups that belonged to kind of private warlords, you might almost say, and that the military of Lebanon could not go out and restore government control over the country, unless there was some protection for the people left behind in Beirut. And we and company with three of our allies decided that we would send in, as you know, forces to maintain order. We would not be out there fighting those private armies, but our forces would be there to keep order in the city where there was no order, keep order there while the Lebanese military did what it early, yes, Lebanese military did what it was supposed to do. Well, the funny thing is that was working. I got a letter from a woman there who told me that for the first time in eight years, she was able to allow our daughter to go to school, but it was safe once more. But because it was successful, that's when the terrorist attacks began the sniping of the military, not only of ours, but the others are allies, car bombings and so forth. And finally, that great disaster, that car bomb that brought down the building at the airport airport in Lebanon and killed 241 Americans. It can be questioned as to the wisdom of putting them in there. They had not been bill billeted billeted in that building, but it was steel and concrete construction and out where they were encamped around the airport, which was one of our part of our duties. There were victims of sniping things at that time and the commanding officers having that kind of structure available, moved these men in there as a place for the nights and not thinking about a suicide bombing that simply drove a truck into the building with the explosives that blew them up.  And another reason we had to retreat and give up was it began to be more evident also that the Lebanese military was divided in its royalties and were loyal to some of these, what I called warlords to the extent that it was difficult to get them in many instances to take action against the forces they were supposed to be clearing out. Mr. President, last week you said you still think Oliver North is a hero despite his indictment on conspiracy theft and fraud charges. If requested, will you testify on his behalf? And can you tell us why you still consider him to be a hero? Yes, I will tell you that I don't know what the situation will be in regard to testimony or not. But I think I was too short in my remark when I answered the question, it was a specific question, did I still consider him a hero? I should have augmented that and said, why? And that is look at the record and at the honors and the medals that have been awarded him for bravery in combat. And I have to say, those were heroic actions that he is a valid hero. And that was what my answer was, was based on. Although, as I said, I should have augmented it as I did here and reminded them of his war record. Well, do you think the allegations of shredding documents in line to congressional and justice department investigators tarnish that heroism? You have said allegations and now you come down to what is a kind of a sore point with me about a lot of the things that have been going on with regard to people in our administration. And that is that someplace along the line, many of us have forgotten that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. And what has happened, I think in the case of this kind is it's just everyone is accepting guilt on the basis of accusation. And I say, they've got a right to be presumed innocent till someone proves them guilty of the charges. Now I see that I'm getting a signal here. He isn't just restless. It means that my time is up and that I'm supposed to leave here, but I'm going to turn this over to Chief of Staff Senator Howard Baker. And if you continue to take your question, I'm sorry that I have to quit. I've been enjoying this. As a matter of fact, I want to tell you just something before I go. I enjoy taking your questions more than I do from the White House press corps.


My name is Richard Shear, and this is the Montpelier City Forum, where we're discussing Town Meeting Day and the elections on Town Meeting Day. And today, we're in District 1, and we're in District 1 with Neuma Haas. Neuma, welcome. Thank you. Thank you. It's nice to be here again. Again, you were here before. Well, I had filmed and edited some shots of some plays before, but it's been a few years. You're running for City Council. This is your first time running for City Council. It's my first time running for anything, except maybe jogging. Which isn't, which is running at slow mo. What caused you to run? Good question.  And the reality is, anyone who's an incumbent running again will tell you is it's a lot, it's a lot different. It's a lot more time consuming. What was that decision like for you to run? Well, I'm still not quite sure. It's my first time in more than 30 years I've lived in Montpelier. I've never run for public office for anything, never even thought about it. Well, maybe I have thought about it, but it didn't go very much further than just thinking. And this time I just decided I would like to do something to help the city, to give back to the city in some way. I think it would, I think it's time. Is Montpelier a city or a town? Both. How so? I came here... When year did you come here? 1987. And well, the first time I fell in love with Vermont was back when I had lived in New York City and I came to Vermont and it was summer. And I thought, oh, it's so beautiful and green and I love the mountains. I was staying at a community out in the Green Mountains and I thought it was so wonderful. But I went back to New York City. And then the second time I came was in the fall. And I thought it was even more beautiful with the colors and it was just so nice. And then the third time I came was the winter. And that's when I really fell in love with Vermont. I went out into the woods and seeing the snow and everything being so quiet. It was just wonderful. So things might have been different if you'd come during mud season. I did not come during mud season. When you came 30 years ago in 1987, what was Montpelier like? What was the Montpelier like then compared to the Montpelier that's 31 years later? Well, it's not that different. I mean... Except for we had an extra thousand people around. And storefronts have changed and things look different. But the buildings are still there. I think Montpelier has gotten better over the years. How so? Compared to the people, I think there's more consciousness of things. What does consciousness of things mean to you? Well one thing I see people helping each other a lot. The fact that there's a meal, a free meal every day, Monday through Friday at least, at a different church. In fact, right now I usually help with the one, I volunteer the one on Monday. That's the Unitarian Church. Yeah, at the Unitarian Church. So right after here I'm going back to eat and then help clean up and take the compost to Vermont, compost or somewhere. Was it a community of concern back in 1987 or how was the social fabric different? Well I don't know, it seems just, I'm not sure. It's hard sometimes to remember quite what it was. But I think it's gotten better over the years. More progressive, more conscious of things. And what I like about Montpelier is there's a real sense of community. People know each other.  It's more of a community spirit and that's what I really like about Montpelier. It's small enough to still be, have this town atmosphere. But it's large enough to be considered a small city. And because it's a state capital, it has all of these services that we need. So it's really nice to be able to walk around town and do everything without driving. When I moved here I had thought, well should I do this? But I came and I just fell in love with Montpelier. Said this is a town like, it's just a wonderful place. And then when I bought a house, I really liked the rivers. The rivers were part of it. And I saw this house resale on Elm Street on the North Branch River. And I always wanted to live on a river. So that's what I did. And it's the only place I've lived in Montpelier. Now in Montpelier, the City Council goes off on retreat. If you're elected in District 1, you will go off on a retreat in March where Council will set its goals and objectives for the next year. And Bill will be there with a whiteboard and the City Councilors will say, I would like to see this brought up as a principal goal this year. I'd like to see this addressed. And the whiteboard will then be translated into a document that goes back to Council that sets the blueprint for what the year will look like. What are one or two items that you would see inserting on that blackboard for the document? What are one or two items that you see really need to be addressed that you would like to champion? Well, I haven't thought about it that much. One of my impressions of City Council is that there's not much time in the Council meetings for people to really discuss anything. And that's the part that's open to the public and televised that everyone knows about. But it goes by very quickly. And I wonder, do the Councilors really have that much input from the people of Montpelier, especially their district, on what people want, except for people who email them or call them or something? Do they really know much about that? Well, that's the campaign is basically, that's why we have districts in the first place, so that people can get out, talk to their neighbors and develop themes that the neighbors care about. Are there things in District 1 that people have been telling you are concerns to them? Not that much. The dog, people have talked to me about dogs. Okay, and what do they say to you about dogs? That was a big issue in the last year. And it's a continuing big issue because the Park Commission has yet to come to a conclusion as to how best dog owners and non-dog owners relate to each other in the parks. What are you hearing on that issue?  In fact, I don't think I've ever even seen, and all the people I have talked to say the same thing. So we've never really encountered any real problem of dogs being off leash in the park. I see on Front porch forum that some people, somebody will write in about some situation that happened. And then everyone else writes in. But I personally have never seen a problem and all of the people I know are there every day never see a problem. We're all conscious about our dogs and if we see somebody that we think might not want to interact, we call our dog over and put the dog on the leash. What do you do about the one owner that you don't know or the two owners or three owners that you don't know whose dogs are not under good voice control as yours is? A person should have the right to walk through a public park on molested? Well, of course. The park belongs to everyone. I feel that we should all use the park. But most of the people I meet in the park, almost all the time when I go to the park, I even started actually last year doing this kind of informal survey of my own, of counting the number of people, not the park employees, but counting the number of people I met in the park. And were they with a dog or were they not with a dog? And very often, every single person I would meet would be with a dog. Is that self-selecting though, Numa? If you're scared of dogs, do you just stay away from the park because you know that that's an area where there's many dogs on leash? Are those people underrepresented out of fear? That's a very good question. And last year after that item was on the ballot about should dogs be required to be on leash in Hubbard Park? So I just started talking to people I knew, not the dog people obviously, and I met in Hubbard Park, but other people I would meet in town, people that I didn't even know that well, just to see, to get some kind of feeling about what other people thought. And a lot of the people that I met voted no because they didn't see any reason. They said, well, that's fine. I've never had a problem with a dog. Some people said they voted yes. So I asked them, why? And we're not talking about many people here. We're just talking about a handful of people that I happened to talk to. And their answers were invariably something like, well, I just would think I'm not that scared of dogs. But if I'm in the park, I would just not particularly like a dog to come running up at me or barking at me and it might scare me. So I voted yes. And so I asked them all, well, how often do you go to the park? And in every single case of the people I asked, the answer was something like, well, let's see. I haven't been at all this year, but I think last year I went once.  Is that because you're afraid of the dogs? And they all said, oh, no, that's not the reason I don't go. It just doesn't fit into my life first. What about the leash law, the new leash law on streets? Because the new leash law doesn't deal with the park. That turns it over to the park commission to decide. But dogs have to be on lead when they're walking the streets. What's your feeling on that? Well, I think that generally most of the dogs that I see when I'm walking downtown, just, and I come down here all the time walking my dog and he's on leash. Just, in fact, every dog I've seen downtown has always been on leash. I don't think I've seen people here without them being on leash. What about in the neighborhoods? Well, in the neighborhoods, I don't, I personally don't see the need to pass a law or an ordinance. Again, should people be able to walk through their own neighborhoods? Of course. Without coming to dogs off lead, that you don't even know whether the person has control over or not. I don't want to be misunderstood as saying other things, but I feel it just seems like something that would come down from our federal government right now of this thing of someone who is afraid of, someone who was mugged by a person of a particular race and therefore all of those people are bad or an immigrant that has done bad things. Therefore, we blame all immigrants. To me, why do we want to blame all dogs and all dog owners? Because one dog and that dog's owner didn't follow with what they were supposed to be doing. The dog that killed this cat recently, obviously the owner and dog were not obeying the current ordinance, which was having the dog. The ordinance before this ordinance. Obviously, they were not paying attention to what the ordinance was, so are they going to pay attention to a new ordinance that says the dog must be on leash? Let me shift wildly, but I'll stay in the same theme. Is there a problem with racial profiling in our place in Montpellier? Do you feel? Probably so. How would that manifest itself? I will say I'm very proud of the high school students. Faculty and our school board for having the courage to raise Black Lives Matter flag. And I think that was just really good. If you were on city council, would you have asked the city to raise the flag above city hall? Yes, but I noticed at last Wednesday's meeting when they passed the resolution. Everyone at the council, everyone seemed to be very much in favor and everyone applauded. The people from the high school that were there speaking. So it seemed, my impression was certainly that everyone was in favor of this. Our infrastructure, I think if you go around to all three districts, and I've interviewed all of the council candidates, everyone in this town complains about our streets or water or sewer, the condition. What's your feeling on our infrastructure and how best to address it? Well, that's really an interesting question that everybody seems to be addressing. I don't know the answers because I haven't worked with the public works department. I know I see, in fact, one of the things, in fact, you asked me about what other people in my district had said, one of the things several people have said to me is that they think the city should do a better job with cleaning the streets. The machines that come down the sidewalks to plow the sidewalks don't seem to do it very well. I don't know if that's, the machines don't work or we're expecting to do something they're not meant to do or they don't know how to operate. I don't know what the reason is, but I see piles of salt and sand this high, and then you walk along and there's nothing, and then another pile is high, so something's not working. It seems that, I don't know, I mean there's a lot of things, but I don't feel that I should criticize something that I don't know about. Well, in council you would have oversight over it. So it's not quite criticizing, it's that function of how are we doing this and how could it be better? Yeah, well I mean we should be looking to see how it can be done better. City councilors not only sit in the meetings as you know, they sit on committees. Lord knows this town has more committees, commissions, and boards than any other town of 7500 probably, but they also sit on outside agencies. There'll be a council person on the library, there'll be a council person on the public safety board, there'll be a council person on the regional transit authority, there'll be someone on Mount Piliar alive, there'll be someone on the economic development board, the new one. Which board do you see, would you step forward and say, I want to sit on that outside organization? I don't know, I hadn't really thought about it. Are there any that I named that would catch your fancy? I'm not sure what all of the different ones are, but I would have to think about that. But one of the things, some of the things I really feel about Mount Piliar, I really like the rivers. Do you feel we're doing enough on the rivers? No, I think, well I mentioned already that the reason I bought the house that I lived in was because it was on the river, and my children grew up on the river being, we have a strip of land on the river, in fact after the, it was very hard to get to when I bought the house. You had to put a ladder down and go down to get to it. But after the flood of 1992, the bank, the retaining wall was caving in and the rocks had sort of fallen down. So we rebuilt it as a stairway down, and I think it's probably the only river access in downtown Mount Piliar, in fact. That's interesting. And a lot of people have said that there's really not much access. In fact, when I have canoeed down that I would put in at the community garden on Pearl Street, beyond Pearl Street Motors, owned by Dennis Gove, that guy helped with Lauren Kitches. We had helped start that garden the first year, years ago, I think like 25 years ago. And if I put my canoe in, go down the river. Boy, I don't think you can do that anymore. Is there enough river left to canoe in? Occasionally. Yes, sometimes. Sometimes. But when you go down, where would you take your canoe before the lane shops, obviously, because you can't go through them. Exactly. And there wasn't really a good place to do that. And then after the Clarence's house was torn down on Home Street, the one at the end of Summer Street, the little mill park, or whatever the name of it is, something like that. That's a nice place. So I think that's a, I've canoeed down there, and that's a nice place to get to the river. But before that, really, there was not any. Most people don't even think about that park. I know. That's a very, very forgotten park. There's a park over beyond the cemetery, beyond the Creamy Stand, where the freeway is. Oh, yes, I know that park. I have definitely been there. And that's another one of those hidden parks. I think there's a lot of little places that people don't realize. That little hidden park across from the laundromat at Elm and Court Street, that little car vane, that's another one. So I think the one, the mill pond one, was good because it gives you a place to take your canoe out and come through the park. Because I think that was very much needed. But downtown, before we built our stairway, was there any way really to get down? There was one partial set of stairs going somewhat down to the river. And then over by where the farmer's market is, you can climb down that bank by the river bridge. But yeah, there's not much access to the river. Let's go to District 2 and talk about a very large space, green space. Oh. Sabin's pasture. Sabin's pasture. And it almost seems like that fight has been going on for 30 years, though it hasn't. It almost seems as though it has. Seems like it's been being talked about for as long as it's a Taylor Street project. Absolutely. We'll get to the Taylor, you mean back when it was the car lot? Oh, I remember the car lot. Okay, so let's stay in Sabin's. What's your thought on what should happen to the Zorzi property there on Berry Street? Well, before I say anything, I should say that since I live on Elm Street, I go to Hubbard Park all the time. I know the parks on this side of the city. I rarely go over there. I've gone through there and walked around sometimes down the little stream that comes all the way down from Town Hill Road, but I don't know much about it. So I'm not the person to say much about it. But I can say what I think. Oh, absolutely. I think that Montpelier needs green spaces. I think a lot of people use that space. The people who live over there, much like people use Hubbard Park over here. However, I think housing is one of the things that Montpelier really needs, especially affordable housing. So it seems like the idea of developing close to Berry Street, but not too far up the hill, seems like a good idea to me. And then the upper part would be green space. What about our downtown? That's another theme is that this is a small town of 75, or a small city, big town of 7,500, and our downtown businesses. It's a struggle to hold on to our downtown business district. How would we improve that in your thinking? How would we improve our downtown, our core downtown? Well, I love downtown Montpelier. It's what made me really fall in love with Montpelier. It's why I chose to live downtown rather than outside, to be able to walk instead of driving. And I think it's wonderful to have locally owned businesses, small businesses. I know it's really hard to have a business and make money at it. I've never tried it, but I know it's difficult. And I think we should help in every way we can. How can the City Council help? What can the City Council do to support their downtown in your thinking? Well, to support our downtown, I think we need to develop. Certainly, everyone's talking about the empty storefronts and with Union River Sports closing. One of the things that I said in my interview with Matt at the bridge was that I would like to see a pedestrian mall on Langton Street. But I just stopped in Krabukirch and asked Yvonne. She reminded me that there would be a lot of logistical things to solve, a lot of businesses that needed somebody to come and pick up things and deliver things because they don't have a back door entrance. No, not at all. And the people who live there that park in those parking lots, and there's no back door. As some cities I've been in that have a mall, but all the businesses have a back door. And if they don't have a back door, then how do you deal with this? So it would require more than I was thinking. The farmers market is moving on to State Street next summer, and I imagine every summer past that. What you thought on that? They've been on that nook by Julios for so long. What you thought on bringing them up? Well, there were some experiments this past summer that we did. It's fine. Personally, I liked it where it was. I thought it was—well, one of the reasons—in fact, I wrote a comment about it—is that when it was moved onto State Street, and I bought some food, some tamales. There was no place—I said, where am I going to sit? There was no place to sit. So I sat on the curb. Whereas there was more space to sit over in the other space. Also, I wound up walking over to Christ Church and sitting there on there. Right. I was just about to say that not only is Christ Church available, but you could have gone to Ward Joyce's pocket park over on Main Street. Yeah. Well, which is what a lot of people do. And I love that park, by the way. Ward did a—and his students did a great job of signing that park, and I really like it. Is there one signature thing that you would like to see in Montpelier that isn't here? Is there something that would make this town better if we had more of it or just had it? I think the thing that I really like about Montpelier is the fact of the people. People that are caring, compassionate people who try to help their neighbors, to help each other, to do things to help each other. And I think bringing people more together, of all walks of life, people of all races, of all backgrounds, from all countries. I know when my wife came here 25 years ago, she's from Mexico, and I think she was the only person from Mexico here. And they weren't that many immigrants. Remember, Judy Chalmer got together, people—I don't know if you remember that—she got together immigrants from different countries to do a theater performance at City Hall. Now you have a—your wife has a performance coming up, yes? Oh, yes. And next, this coming Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Unitarian Church downstairs in the vestry, there will be a stage reading of a play by Inés Martínez. In English or Spanish? Oh, it'll be in English. It was done in English. And it's called Que Noche Buena. What does it translate to? What the Christmas Eve. And it's a play about immigration, about people, in this case, from Guatemala, who came to New Mexico looking—because of safety. Is there an admission charge to this? No, it is absolutely free. And one more time, what time on Saturday? It is 2 o'clock at the Unitarian Church this Saturday. And what's the date going to be? The date of the Saturday. Yes. This is going to be shown over and over. That's the reason I mentioned it. I believe that's the 24th of February. Let me see. What date is today? That's the 24th of February. Oh, it is the 24th. And you're right. It is the 24th of February. It was scheduled for around Christmas time, but it was canceled because of the weather. One more question. And Numa. What does Numa mean? Where did Numa come from? How long have you been Numa? I've been Numa for probably 45, 50 years. I think I did that at the same time as becoming vegetarian and a lot of other things, of transformations internal and social consciousness and spiritual awareness. Is Numa a word from another language? Well, the way I spell it in UMA comes from Latin, but the Latin comes from the Greek, which was with a P. And it was related to pneumatic air, breath. It also means spirit. That's great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Numa. I so appreciate this. But I want to talk to you and I want to make sure that you watch all of these shows. Numa talked about the bridge, which ran all the candidates. And I want you to educate yourself on the issues involved. There's an excellent show on the school budget. There's a good show on the city budget as well as the bond issues for both schools and cities. And the important thing is not only educating yourself, but getting out and vote on town meeting day and making sure your family votes, your friends vote, because that's the vitality of our democracy. Numa's district as well as district two and district one all have contested races. I think that's fantastic.  And that means voting on town meeting day. Thank you so very much.


What kind of question is this? I think I have to answer that. Mothers and daughters, we don't talk about this. Ma, ¿cuánta gente tú has vos mío con? Yo desde mí me voy a acordar desde ese. Era puta en Cuba, cómo hago al ello de eso. To me and he said, you're so beautiful. Can I have your number? And I said, haha, no. And he said, oh, playing hard to get. And I said, haha, no. I'm simply not interested in you.  And I said, oh, why did I think of that? I changed my mind all of a sudden. Of course you can have my number. Let me put it in your phone for you. And he said, really? I said yes, but it might take a couple minutes because I'm a little drunk. And he said, take your time. Good thing I wasn't drunk because I was able to find his Venmo app right away. So I put my phone number in there. And suddenly I'm $5,000 richer. And I'm wondering how on earth did that happen? Did I do that? Yes, I know I wasn't entitled to it and he definitely would have said no. But I took it anyway. I guess I just can't seem to take no for an answer. Where did all the good men go? You want to know where all the good guys are gone, huh? I'll tell you where they're gone.   The good guys are still there. They just don't care anymore. They're tired of putting themselves out there to be crushed. Now I know it happens to men and women. But nowadays it's happening more and more to the good guys and I'm tired of it. Good example, friend of mine, longtime friend of mine, calls me the other night crying. His stare. And it took me forever to calm him down. And I asked him what happened. He said, well, he met a girl on TikTok and everything was going great. They were talking for three months, a little bit of a long distance relationship, but he said everything was great. Everything they believed in was the same. I mean, it just, it seemed like that perfect relationship.  I will drive up there and I want to take you on a date.  That would be great, but you would do that for me. And he's like, yeah, I'm not asking to go sleep with you. I'm not asking to stay the night at your apartment. I just want to come take you on a date. Leave it at that. If we're still good after that, then hey, maybe we got something. He takes off at work, drives all the way up there. And she ghosted him. Out of the blue, ghosted him. Blocked him like she never even existed. And I had to listen to him crying hysterically going, why do I put myself in these positions? I said, it's not you. It's not. Nowadays we live in a society where it's easy. It's easier just to ghost somebody. It's easier just to do the chicken thing and just drop somebody. If you're nervous, if you're full of anxiety and you say, hey, I'm really nervous about this. Can we hold off a couple of nights or something? Just I'm really nervous about this. I would have more respect for somebody who did that as opposed to just dropping me after three months of talking. So you want to know where the good guys are? They're still there. They're just tired of excuses and tired of being held to a standard that is unrealistic. Yes, have standards, but make them fricking realistic. Quit looking for the perfect gentleman that has everything. So I went out on a Tinder date the other day. It starts good, dinner's good. We even decided to go watch a movie at his house after.  We're not against sexy time. We like sexy time. So sexy time usually makes you hungry and we decide to get tacos. So I hop in the car and I look over at homeboy who's on his phone. I'm thinking he's going to pick a slow jam for us to go get our munch on. And no, he's got Tinder open and he's matching with chicks and responding to girls he's already matched with. I'm no expert, but I kind of think you should wait till a girl you've just hooked up with, one, leaves your house, two, leaves your car before you start scouting out your next conquest. Okay, men, this is for you. Shoot your f***ing shot. Shoot the f*** out that shot.  Because a lot of you could be pulling women way out of your league. A lot of women date down, okay? I know a ton of women who would take a six or a seven with some swag and a solid personality over an airhead a** 10 any day, okay? So please get the f*** out there. I don't know why this ever stopped. I love you guys. Good luck. DM me if you have questions. I got you. When I was 19, this girl I was talking to was like, oh, I love this restaurant. I love the food there. So I was like, okay, bet I'll take you.  So we get to the restaurant. I see the menu. I immediately look at my bank account. I said, okay, as long as her and I just order food, we good. Shorty ordered two desserts. Yo, I got the bill back. Dessert was busting my pockets, gang. So immediately the poverty kicked in my head like this. I said, how are we gonna get out this jam? So I'm looking around. I see the way to walk in and out the kitchen with the drinks. I said, bet, here we go. Game on. So I walked directly towards the waiter like a collision course. Boom! Soda, water, wine, various liquids pouring on me like a college girl on spring break, right? I'm causing a ruckus. Oh my God. How could you do this to me, right? Yo, everyone's like, oh my God, oh my God. I said, how could you do this to me? I'm never coming back here again. Grab Shorty ran out the restaurant. I had to do what I had to do. Show you in a hoodie, then show what's underneath. Desperado. I don't cook. I don't clean. Then leave. Then leave. Hi, Dan. I just moved in next door. I'm a supermodel. I don't care who the IRS sends. I am not paying. I need men. I need men to stop. I need you to f***ing stop. I need you to f***ing stop derailing the conversation and making it about your feelings when women say men are garbage. I'm so tired of having this conversation with you. It is not my job to coddle your male fragility. I tried last night, a couple of nights ago.  And then I had several men respond back and saying yes we are, fax, you know, affirming my experience. And then I had one guy, one mother f***er who tried to derail the entire f***ing conversation and make it about his f***ing feelings.  This is not about you. I don't know how many times I have to f***ing say that. And then he was like, well, you seem pretty pissed.  Stop it. I know we're in like an employment crisis or I don't even know what's going on, but like, I worked so hard for five years and got a degree. I tried my best. Some of them have taken five years, I guess, but it's now I'm like $100,000 in debt. And the only jobs that people want to try to give me are $15 an hour. Ladies between the ages of 19 to 25, this is for you. Have that whole phase, baby. Have that whole phase, because guess what?  I don't know. I just think it's different for girls and guys when it comes to body counts. Like, girls should not sleep around. They get used up like cars. Wow, so much to unpack here. Okay, one thing at a time. So you think guys can and should have high body counts but women should have low ones? Yes. I don't want to sleep with a used up woman. Okay, so who are all those guys sleeping with and you don't want them to sleep with women? Other men? That's fine.  It's much easier. Okay, my next question is, why do you think women get used up? Because they get all stretched out. What about a woman who has a boyfriend and she sleeps with him once every day for five years? Is she used up? Okay, so you know nothing about female anatomy and clearly it grosses you out a little bit.  It's much better than you bringing down women as a default. And lastly, why in this analogy do you compare men to nothing but women get compared to cars? Is it because you see them as objects and you don't respect them as human beings? You don't really like women. You prefer men. Again, that's fine.  But next time, say that instead of giving us the misogynistic loop around because if you actually liked women, you would not have that mindset. I understood the assignment. I understood the assignment. Would you rather have a wedding or a honeymoon? Robert and Rachel kind of do the normal thing. They spend $30,000 on their wedding, which is the U.S. average. 32 years later, they need to work for three more years to be able to retire. But Sam and Stephanie kind of do the opposite. They just elope and then invest that same $30,000. 32 years later, their investments have grown to over $260,000 and they can take a three-year honeymoon. Hey there.  What did you buy? It's a portable AC. It's like a robot, Keena. Portable AC. We do not need a portable AC, Keena. What's we doing? It's like 100 degrees in here with this cheap-ass installation. What? You have all these windows. You still have windows. We have a scene. We do not need a portable AC. It was $5,600. $5,600. You're saying it's nothing, Keena. $5,600. For that AC, it's a really good deal. Cheap as a f***. You're finding your own tools now? It's a nasal aspirin. A nasal what? To take your son's boogers out of his nose. That's the whitest s*** ever. You don't need a machine to take his boogers out, Keena. You juice a napkin. Use your finger. You don't need this, Keena. You swear to tell you.  And like me, please.  You don't need a portable breakfast, Keena.  Just woke yourself up. Cows? You a**hole. Babe, knock, knock. Who's there?  He knows the text me first. If you've had pretty privilege like your whole life, can you stitch this and... Okay, oh man. I could go on for days about this. Not because of me. I mean, although I will say, I think I am pretty. Even if I was, and I'd look in the mirror and still tell myself I'm pretty, but my mom is 100% hotter than me.  And if you are a daughter who has a hot mom, then you know what I mean. Well, the worst part was the older she got, the hotter she got. So yes, people were extraordinarily nicer to my mom and I because growing up, my mom was a single mom, so it was just me and her. Everybody was nice. People would let her cut lines in the grocery store. People would paper her stuff. But the downside to this is people thought because she was so drop dead gorgeous that anybody could approach her. Male, female, young, old. Anybody would come up to her all the time. We would be backing out of a parking spot and people would knock on her window. What if men had to go through a police check, a year long cognitive therapy program and a credit check before being allowed to enter into a serious relationship, a marriage, and especially becoming a parent.  It just begins to cover the bare minimum, you know, because clearly we can't even achieve that without some intervention.


okay we are back so until William H. Morrill the third calls which will be in I guess in about five minutes I'll I just want to show you something that we have been selling from the Megalike 21 hard-hitting progressive internet talk radio station which happens to be at the top of newslettersensor.com and this is liquid red panax a ginseng extract mega-dose with royal jelly with a mega dose of royal jelly okay in liquid vials 30 liquid vials that's one month supply of high quality bring up online told this guy to hello hey Bill you're a little early let me just finish this promo you're a few minutes early hold on okay mega dose liquid red panax ginseng extract with royal jelly right from mainland China comes in this beautiful red and gold box and it can be found on the Megalike 21 progressive hard-hitting internet talk radio station okay this is one month supply two of the oldest time proven tonics known to humanity and you can get yours now it's one month supply okay William H. Morrill the third how are you doing sir good not bad where's your location now you've been home okay okay now I know before you you go on with your very important topics and monologue I know you have something important to say about the newsletter censored that's right people newsletter censored.com the very backbone of our organization and the best way to join our organization do it now okay William go ahead with your monologue yeah yeah independent free thinkers too well no you don't get it he was trying to ascertain whether or not I get whether or not it is considered a mutual consent when if a woman happens to be intoxicated he was just asking for people's opinions and they got all upset over right yeah so under the influence I agree with you Billy I agree with you it is the girl is under the influence of alcohol and she's not in her quote-unquote right mind to make a a a honest cognitive decision and she won't be able to she won't be able to well that's another that's another story Reverend Bill she won't be able to feel the experience properly no it was not a question of pleasure it's a question of consent that's all you know true true mm-hmm liquid courage saying saying things online on on a computer is you can you can call that cyber courage yeah I mean they didn't they make a big stink many years ago when they fired Jimmy the Greek Snyder for telling a true well he also said something else and and what he said I think was true he says the reason why the black athletes today are so much have so much physical prowess and athleticism is because during during the the days of slavery the the plantation owners did selective breeding they they they put the biggest and strongest black male slave together with the biggest and strongest black female slave to produce big athletic big strong offspring you know tall muscular yeah but but Billy's selective breeding is a scientific fact that you can you can do it with any creature as a whole white only one or two Americans are all from different country what have you so every group or ethnicity has it's wrong yeah and it's a week it's hard to say I'm sure people that breed rot wireless and pit bulls they selectively breed those for the best qualities the best traits well also they there this question is about what cross-breeding an animal's white grease black sport yeah perfect rot-wilders you don't hear much talk about doberman sitting more turning like you used to that used to be the number one dope dobermans were dobermans were popular back in this like 70s and 80s right it's been like 30 years you don't hear a lot of talk about them anymore the last time I'd see dobermans on TV was a magnum PI where they in one of the James Bond Mr. Higgins was it was his name Tom Selleck Tom Selleck are you never seen it yeah he had a couple of dobermans on his property in Hawaii and they were guard dogs and Selleck had to avoid them yeah yeah they used to chase try to bite Tom Selleck's ass and on the show but I love the red ones as somebody owns a young a young red one in my neighborhood and you know not to change the subject I don't know why they clip the ears of certain breeds like dobermans and pit bulls but I heard I can't remember what it is but it's a certain reason it's not a healthy yeah they think it's cosmetic on they crop they call a crop and dock or something I think they clip the tail they cut the tail short yes they do not with German Shepherds but German Shepherds a beautiful such an intelligent dog they are you know they're really I think I think the blue lights are very well they're temperamental there's a bite bite I don't want to get I don't want to get to I don't want to get off the track is there yeah no now you you were gonna discuss there were one or two other subjects that you jotted down that you wanted to bring up I could be wrong yeah that's why you gotta that's why you gotta have the paper on the table yeah you gotta have that paper let's see let me try to remember but you know getting back to what you're you were saying before about society today is just so thin-skinned people are afraid to say no they're afraid to say no to their children they're afraid to say to disagree and say no to any to any lobbying group in society especially these these pussies that run the the major networks you know their mouths anymore maybe that's why did you know which I yeah yeah they're so afraid especially certain individuals are so afraid of offending somebody everybody is so easily offended well they want to be they want to be they want to be cuddled it's almost like everybody wants to be cuddled well the only thing the only thing I could the only thing I can say to you is have your paperwork in front of you next Saturday that's what I could say but anyway yeah yeah just try to have your paperwork in front of you next time we were we were going over a lot of stuff before you called I mean like like Monsanto can sue farmers Billy they could sue farmers if only 1% of the farms crop is contaminated by Monsanto's genetically modified pollen I guess if the if the if the wind blows it over onto your farm and you have 1% of Monsanto's seed Monsanto can sue the farmer I mean just a good question regulation no regulations in business Billy greed I don't know how much more do they need right now we also mentioned that for every person who dies in a terrorist attack Billy 58 people in the United States died due to lack of health care we made we mentioned that which was very sad and also and this was very surprising 76 percent of all honey sold in the United States is fake is diluted with high fructose corn syrup yes yes and right and get this even the organic honey that you find in Whole Foods is 33% diluted with high fructose corn syrup it's fraud and it's not mentioned on the label that's the regulation why it's fraud there's no more ethics and honesty in today's business world it has become so corrupt and wicked my opinion yeah exactly now we inducted we right short short term long term is the right way to think short term is the wrong way to think in business you know forever 21 and the all in the shopping malls it's a clothing store for young females well forever 20 forever 21 is making all their full-time employees part-time and taking all their benefits away completely because because this is the excuse they have to avoid Obamacare with the health care of reform they're using Obamacare as an excuse to cut everybody's pay and benefits you know when I happen to think it's just old-fashioned greed yeah yeah you know well since well since Ronald Reagan shifted the tax burden from the rich to the middle class in the 1980s and the which I which make up small business is the middle class and also Gw Bush didn't it did Reverend Bill didn't he first start with the mass mass deregulation of all companies the regulation has been going on since the late 70s under Reagan tax lotteries oh you're right and we're the only that the public doesn't really buy the argument goes towards it that was the original thing well they're here for that matter you go back to the early days of Atlantic City the first part you know yeah they were going to rebuild Atlantic City make it wherever they have not well this nothing towards rebuilding that city oh forget it it's shot like you heard even worse now with you know it's opening another space as close by as the Pope but oh yeah well in New York that's even going to drain more of the state coffers or Atlantic City well Atlantic Atlantic City is like Camden, New Jersey, Detroit, Michigan they're shot these cities are completely shot I heard I heard a real before you leave Bill I heard a real tragic story on the news a woman she looks mixed race or she could be Hispanic she's suing she's suing the either the hospital or the hospital and this or and the city of New York because her son her son who wasn't a kid actually he was he was an older boy he died because the hospital refused to exactly oh you're a psychic cookie but we heard about it happens more times every day everywhere that you can imagine but legally legally in the United States the hospital is not supposed to refuse anybody who's sick or hurt that's the emergency room you are ethically no I could not refuse any anybody I don't care I'll pay for it even if I sit down hey you wonder if that Obamacare has even a child even a child I could not refuse you wonder if Obamacare I mean I mean just think about it for an animal or human being or a child to die to die needlessly because they can't afford they don't have the health insurance now what to put a thing on there you go I see a lot of the human being wouldn't happen in another industrialized country it wouldn't die because of a lack of money it wouldn't happen in Canada or Europe no and we're pro-life maybe he would have been a criminal who knows but maybe he would have become something maybe now we don't know but he should have been and we're pro-life in America he's a life that was unnecessarily yeah taken away or or or Billy what if what if a a poor child in living in a ghetto had a super high IQ and could have been a scientist that would revolutionize anything and but he couldn't go to he can't afford an education can't afford he didn't have the money for an education right yeah right it's sad everyone has the right it's not right yes including college and and they do I believe in Europe and Canada is that right Reverend I mean a brilliant mind is a terrible brilliant minds are wealthy here look at all those brilliant minds on Wall Street they were so brilliant you know willingness to learn well Bill says uh Reverend Bill says what about all those brilliant minds on Wall Street and I says yeah they're brilliant enough to be to be crooks to be successful crooks that's about it they aren't that brilliant because if they're so brilliant I'm speaking sarcastically some that I I do know don't even buy the car they recommend yes some of them do buy some of the me of my buddies told me that are all of them so we were too peaceful they they said the billy is proving criminals Bill yeah the plug is very fickle we don't you know it's all rigged Bill it's all rigged and they're downlocked downright criminals they for me it was made legal because they deregulated deregulation Stiegel and all the other you know laws to prevent those things they wanted to so it comes naturally just don't want to geez yeah it is sad all right that state of affairs fellas very the human race isn't a very sad state of affairs and I I'm very happy to have you on our show it was going to be here I just want to close this thing one more thing as we get along yeah but Rodney King like we're falling away from that Rodney King wasn't aware that it's all rigged right the bottom line to make it so that's what they're doing that's what the sure that's what the flower children said during the 60s yeah basically but uh they they they didn't know that way the system was rigged either you know well yeah we we were talking actually Billy you you and I and a friend of yours uh uh when did I see you last Thursday uh we were talking about how trivial and and ridiculous it is for marijuana to be to be illegal and then we were going on and on about it yeah well grandpa what's important let's really go for what's important right no come on I mean grandpa out the late grandpa out Lewis uh well had a crusade against uh imprisoning people for for having marijuana possession of marijuana is that true Reverend Bill not only that people in prison the Rockefeller drug the Rockefeller drug laws I will we'll clarify they wanted to reverse yeah we'll clarify yeah all right all right take have a good have a good weekend I will talk to you very soon all right thank you all right guys bye bye bye bye yeah he I'll talk to him about having having the facts in front of him on paper like he was supposed to have but you were saying grandpa out Lewis was on a crusade for the Rockefeller drug reversing the Rockefeller drug laws which put people in jail for insignificant and minor offenses yeah wasting prison space and taxpayers money for frivolous trivia it's getting the bad people off the streets oh wait a minute

All right. Okay. So, Mushiri, you are a man of many talents. So, formed your skills when it comes to fun technologies. And now as an actor and we have been entertained in your comedy from sheriff films. So, when did this acting start? The acting part will start February after the coronavirus pandemic came and it will come through. So, nika nima ka apale na producer wa nga ita David Moses. Ama Shangi, Shangi Pictures. Nika kama nika mamia, ilikua it was about kuna uple yama aniu wali sayon kutoka China. Um nigeria na ita audio ni galo. So, nika kama nika fkiriya juhu nika onaha asano sayotu ilikua tuna perform vibhaya zahidi. La view ilikua time miya kuna yemari. So, nika kama nika mbiya David Moses tunneza fanya clip about the coronavirus. Ama po ita kua like.  Sisi kawase wa asano tuseme si tu li perform vibhaya yungi yungi. Yetu jutu ilikua. Aksulu jutu ilikua tuki wini yungi yungi yungi. Jutu kari biawa ni United. So, nika mbiya tunneza fanya clip. Iku ilikua tuli fanya tuli shindo. Kus tunge wini yungi yungi yungi kari biawa ni United. Na maziwa me sayon playa me toka China. So, nika kwa corona miya start. So, video ika co-inspired na corona virus. Eh, ustawar. Alright, so, so far from that is in February, right? Ya. In February then till date. I've seen you guys have done a couple of videos. Comedy, commentary, like the one that you did for asano. And all that for coronavirus. So far, so, how has it been so far? Kus it's a journey that you have recently taken. Ya, so far, I'll say it's good, but still. Bado icha fika place tunge ataka. Ima kwa ni struggle na piwa ima kwa ilikua nani to patients. Na tumika kwa patient, tana na bado tunna zedi. So, icha kwa rahisi kuhiti. There are 1000 subscribers, you know, convincing someone to subscribe to your channel. Some people will tell you that I don't have the Mbis. Some people will find it hard to watch bado. But still to na believe, to tahit, to target you, to tahit. Okay. And you guys are actually doing well considering you started a few months back. And the fund business there, your target audience, equally just subscribing. Let's look at how did you guys, you know, get the tools of production.  So, what do you guys use and how did you go around getting the tools of production? Like I said, producer angue, shangi, ana koga, ana koga equipped, naizu weitu. But there are things like tulikamt kabae badae, like the e-mic, tulikamt kachanga, donate, kabae, due to asapia ku improve the sound parts and all that. But basically, to na tumia kamera moja. But for you role naio. Nimsi talented pia. So you which is atu naio iwo na inakwa iwo to nao alete kitu classic. Jatuki hangalizu videozi maizu asi do. Yes, especially the one that, you know, what you order. All right, but it's what you get. Ni nao ma, gaza chadu ona tizu ma boizia luku inja nao maza. But you also guys pay him na tizu. You know what to get. Tulisha pa le, flashy lifestyle and then when you meet up, you know, be promising as heaven and that. And then a few days down the line, opposites. Opposites, totally opposites. Nizu azi mo tizu aka aia. Boli kiki kisi kasi aia ni different. Fisic na tizu aka ma sisi basi. Nizu aki angali a taking it back to the Bible, aia. Angali am se kaking solo. Salomon. Se man of wisdom. Na tiki solo maze aliko gana mawaif. So it's just so sad. Alafu aka handa sobo tadu. Mini kwa na mama moja jo ni kibata awi le jo na leta naoma. So, ine mkwa, iyoni story mkwa. From way back. Okay, so how do you guys come up with your content for your channel?  Kama suza kuna video tuli fanya aga pwya unzi ani to mose skori. Odotu mi fanya na the mother tangi. Aliko ame ka... When you want to rebloom it, tell them say ani. Mose skori. Continue, continue mshiru. Iyo iliko inspired na life kwa zile videozi li kwa zina happen sometimes. Kitu kihapen na call to produce atoji jo na mombia. Jo ni aje tunneza kava rapi kitu. So mose skori abila aliko ame ka embu. Aka sema kuna deyoma na ito mudoni. Kwanzo kiyangalia mudoni jo ma zangu jo na ito mudoni. So aka sema aliko ame ariu jo deyoma. Naki nile oneski aga language barrier. Na joza muembu aki bong ajo kuna vile na iyon kikuyu saza kuna vile na. Aibela kanagi. Ile pronunciation na kwa kwa sometimes in aita conflict. So iyo video li kwa inspired na iyo story a mose skori. Bilalisa ma aliko ame ariu mudoni. Naki niju saza pali aliko ame mombia. Mose skori ane mombia atakuja ane mpenda. Nene mudoni ane jibuna kiyangbu ane mombia. Mose skori ane mbise. So mose skori ane jo niku manisha. Mose skori ane jua. So mose skori ane dani ame ane mbu. Mose skori ane kubizi. Asa mi, I thought it means dad. No, it doesn't mean dad. Ika kwa awaku, awaku link up. Diazuza duka fanya iyo video. Ya so content itu ina kwa inspired na iyo video zina happen. Ame sometimes niki kaibu. Sometimes pia nini content ina zaka amdru wa tani kuhani me doze. Amada pia waka tina tika kasha o morning jo kichinaka amdru. So oni andatu na handika. Nikuna ka group WhatsApp yanguna ni mi pekiya participant. So mi content iikika amdru na handika pali. Alafu natu miya producer in case. No, just sometime WhatsApp mazina nila crash. So onabu tu miya jo na jo saka kiwana yo, for safe. Mi bado ni miya shop place inya. Ukuna WhatsApp group na yo doze participant. Ya, nikuna group kama sa ini kuna group yabiz. Ya ina ito hiberi funds. Okay. So iona ni customer katia mekam na ame itisha mebi screen na sina. Okay. No, just so people. Watu wana ni ame ini ya. So ni kukwami ya like umekam wana Tuesday. I don't have the screen. So I tell you like, okay. If you come tomorrow, I'll fix it for you. So what you'll do, you give me your details. Na ua stu kuido kuanda. Okay. Coz takagi watu wana like. You are not doing it for money. We are doing it for your satisfaction. Then money comes as a reward. I understand that. And then there's also another analogy. Umar, just the way we typically think as schedule. Is that when it comes to fundings ya. There's just a whole story. Like when you're dealing with the fundi. Acha kwa mbiya lewa. Laki ni kudia kiesho. Ah kiesho ni next week. Next week ni. So ono mse ma kwa mba for you. It is more of service first before actually the payment aspect. So what type of services do you offer when it comes to the other business whereby you deal with the phone, mobile phone, fixing and also upgrading of softwares. Yup. So the services we offer, if your phone is cracked, we replace the screen, mouthpiece is not working, the earpiece, network, maybe phone iliangu kwa kwa magi. We clean it up for you. Na, ya ni so basically so it is a phone eh. Like maybe ume lock phone, ume sawu pattern, nai leta pale, nai unlock. But in your place you unlock, we have to be keen because nai zapatam se ame, ame ibasimu. So kuna zile, kuna ili protoko wa tunna follow. Oh ya, in that situation, in that scenario whereby a phone that is actually being bought to you, it's a stolen phone. So what sort of procedure do you go through to make sure that you're actually doing a legit work? Tuna kwa gana book, amba portuna chkwa the i-main amba. Tuna ino te downpale, alafu piya tunna chkwa details ako. So kama utagi kuni piya details ako, waju nachi liya tu yodo. Cos piercing ataka kumesa up my business. Alafu kuna piya, una jokama se wezi ni ambiya. Oh ume nuna ibasimu, alafu kuna ili nio ingi e Google si kuna ili email uta eka. Wezi ni ambi ume sa email maze, hajesa sa. So nikiuna kuna, iso details nikiuna like you're not cooperating mi wachiliya. Nona, so like kwa zina una, une za kumi ibi yon se. So mi na achiliya tu kituka ayu. So how did you get the skills of you know mobile fixing, piya the upgrading of software that is? Skills, skills ni li pata kwa kazi ni anguana ito judges. Yon di yon se li kwa, nili kwa ni me piga strago sa nanarobi maze, ma bees, apa kule. Nisha kwa di photographer, kwanzi yoka minge. Yo camera ni kuna na puga ni me yekatu wa pojo na yanga liyaga. So judges aka ni ambiya, ni toka nai, ni kamaembu, ani pe skills. Then from there, ok yanga liya six years, six years ni me kwa kwa yo bees. Six years ago, zile fomzi kwa sa isi zina zili kwa. So yo time to li kwa sa, sana ni zile kuna zile touch, easy screen touch zili kwa. Onee za finya na kidole, amamsumari. Yon di za zili kwa. So from there, ni me kwa msi kufanya, search, killa siku. So kisha funga job, mi neza naji fungi apalenda ni. Ni ngeyatu kwa Google, kwa YouTube na nga liya V2, vile V2 zina fahakufanya. Ukile toa phone kali, naji kuna zi phone eh, phone kali eh. Bifu ufungu, yu kwa zi nga angaliya, vile nga fahakufungulu. Kwa uspi asifu iti me le toa phone, alafu ume damage zahidiya venil kwa. So yo ita creator bad picture to your customers. So ni yo kwa msi kufanya search, maia sana. Na yon di oki tui me ni zahidiya, ani di oki tui me zakuniwe zesha pale. Palemta ni kwa toa na entambu waju. Kuna raya kiki kuja jokulata si mipata si, yuko kama leo jo. Mta patatruzi me kwa pwadi ni come through. Odo of which sa aiku na phone ni, ani doki evo tu nambita ga mesmas. Okay, so what are a couple of challenges that is associated with the kind of business that you do? Hey challenges, challenges ni mingi. Challenges ya kwanza. Onapatam se, ame kule teya phone, maybe ikona shidiya charging. The phone is not charging. But they expect you to fix the phone bila kufunguwa. Nona. So aki ono meshkatu, screw evi, ono taka kufunguwa maze, naskiyama kuleza, hey kwa ni wana funguwa? E maze, ono maze, sana customer, tu ta fixa, je kama wana kufunguwa. So sometimes onapatam se, akom naging, na bidi tuwa wama wambia tu, yo raya ni wana taka, honestly mi sita waza. There is no, e kama say, USA zi kwa wambia, utoke apu kama apa, na usia muki e yo kiti. Impossible. Challenging ni, ni wakati wana kama say, onapatam se, ame kwa chia phone, maybe ame kwa chia like January. Ame kwa wambia, ni eke screen. So ono na, basically poly hybrid phone technologies and your brand ni mea company eto, tu na kwa gana spares. But definitely, wezi kwa na spares out, wezi kwa na kila kitu. So onapatam se, ame kama, mi kwa wambia, ni eke ifone screen. See, siwa tu chukui deposit kwanza. Siwa tu na fanya kazi zhen, u kisha wana kazi kofiti in dota tuliba. So onapatam se, ame kama kwa January, ame kwa mi anifixi e ifone. Na na kama say. Na ono na, ni om se, wila na kwa, na kama say. So we wana fungwa phone, wana chukua screen, wana fix. Ono na kila kitu kofiti, wana eka kwa charging kwa kute, kona naari. So badae jo om se, anaka like 2e. Kutua jai kama. U lisha eka screen. So wila screen, sometimes unapata, ime wunji ka, JP a kui eka. So yon na, badae oni loss. Afu badae onapatam se, kwa yon eki kama, anaka wana hile intention ea like, si mi angui kwa api, kuli endaji, atata kiyumo explaini ea. Anata kasa yosa yosa ingine, maybe ame kupata kwa busy, na piyata yoko piya time. And for someone who is watching this conversation, and they also probably, they may be in two situations, they need help when it comes to mobile fixing. And number two, it also might be that they fear taking it to, you know, the ordinary, the ordinary fundi. For lack of a better word, ya. So, what would you tell them to ensure that this particular fundi is legit, he or she has the required skills, and you can actually have confidence that.


As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Bismillahir rahmanir raheem wa as-salatu wa as-salamu ala ashrafil mursaneen Sayyidina wa Nabiyyina Muhammadin wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salim Ya Rabbana laka alhamdu kama yambaghil li jalali wa jihika wa a'u dheemi sultanik Allahumma alimna ma yamfa'una wa anfa'na bima alam tada ya Rahmanir Raheemin Insha'Allah today we will go on with our thoughts on the 40 Hadith of compiled by Imam al-Nawawi. So today, insha'Allah, we will be working on Hadith 4, 5, 6 and 7, insha'Allah. So to start with the fourth Hadith, insha'Allah. Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said, Haddathana Rasulullah, may Salat and Salam be upon him and peace be upon him, wa huwa s-sadikul masduq. So Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Salat and Salam be upon him, said, Sayyidina Muhammad, may Salat and Salam be upon him, talked to us and he is the truthful and the receiver of the truth. So he said, So verily, the creation of each one of you is brought together in the womb's mom in the mother's womb for 40 days in the form of a nutfa, which is a drop. And then this becomes a alaqa, clot of blood for a like period. So for another 40 days, then it takes another 40 days that this this alaqa, this clot of blood is becomes a mudra. And a mudra is a morsel of flesh. Earlier, scholars used to believe that the embryo is formed at a very early stage in pregnancy. And it was until almost mid 1800s, when Western scholars came up with a theory that the embryo is formed in stages. But Subhanallah, if you look at the Quran, the Quran stated that the same thing, the embryo is formed in stages over 1200 years ago. So the death, the death acts or Subhanallah, from the beginning until the end, there are stages that the human passes. And this hadith acts as one of the most important scientific miracles of the sunnah. It describes the aspects of the embryo, the embryo, the formation of the embryo. So Subhanallah, by the way, we all know that the first few months of pregnancy are sometimes very hard for the mother. So we have the 40 days as a drop, then 40 days as a clot, then 40 days later as a morsel of flesh. And this is very hard. These changes sometimes are very hard for the mother. So starting with lessons, actually we will be talking about the hadith and the lessons after. So the lesson here is that we have always to be good to our mothers for all they did for us, starting from the first days of pregnancy. I know a lady in her 40s and Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'ala invited her to perform umrah with her mom. There were some family relatives with them. Subhanallah, the mom is in her late 70s and she was able to perform the Tawaf walking. Walking and she didn't need a wheelchair. But the Sa'i was undoable for her without a wheelchair. So when they hired a wheelchair, the people or those who are responsible, they offered a man to push the chair. But the daughter refused. She said, I myself want to do it. And for herself and she was thinking that my mom took care of me all my life. And I want to do this.  Yeah. Just a small token that rewards her for one, maybe one thing that she has done for me all her life. So what she did, she took care of the mom and she herself pushed the chair and she did not allow anyone to do it. So she said all that what I did for my mom, which is nothing, it took about maybe half an hour, an hour. So she said that will not equal the pain of one of the pushings while she was delivering me. So as an advice, just appreciate the difficulties that your mother faced when carrying you and while giving birth to you. Be good to your moms, respect them. Sometimes someone might say, okay, but my mom passed away. Well, you can still be good to her. And you can do Sadaqah for her. You can do a lot of dua for her. So there are ways to appreciate your mom, whether she is alive or she is dead. So these stages that the hadith start with remind us of all the stages that a human passes by during his life. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in Surah An-Nahil ayah 17 said وخلقناكم اطوارا And we created you in stages. So different stages. Sometimes we are happy. Sometimes we feel sad. Sometimes we are healthy. Sometimes we are sick. These are all stages. Sometimes we are close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We do a lot of dhikr. We do a lot of prayers. A lot of Sunnah prayers. Sometimes we feel that we are far. And barely praying the five prayers with khushuar. So the advice here is that there are stages in our lives. And when we pass through the good stages, then we have to take advantage of this time. When we are healthy. And this is what Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said اغتنم خمسا قبل خمس صحاتك قبل سقمك We take advantage of five things. Before five things happens. One of them is your health before you become sick. Take advantage of this stage. Take advantage of your time before you become busy. Do not waste your time. So we pass through different stages. Since we are embryos in the wombs of our mom until we die. So we have to take advantage of the good stages. We have to do extra deeds as extra deeds as we can when we are in these stages. Then Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says ثم يرسلوا إليه الملك فينفخوا فيه الروح ويؤنروا بأربع كلمات بكتب رزقه وأجله وعمله وشقي أو سعيد Then the angel is sent to him. So now after the third 40 days. So the angel blows the soul into him. And the angel is commanded to record four things. To write down the human's risk, the sustenance, the provision. And the word risk does not always is not always related to money. There is the risk of knowledge, the risk of health, the risk of wisdom. And there are so many other types of risk. And Subhanallah sometimes Allah gives the risk of wealth and he takes away the risk of health. So the risk is not divided equally amongst all the people. This one has a very good amount of risk of let's say money. The other one has the risk of wisdom. Someone might have the risk of money, but he cannot eat. He doesn't have the risk of health. He would wish that he is healthy enough to be able to eat anything he wants. So the first one is the things that this angel records is to write down the human's risk. And also the angel is also commanded to record the lifespan of this human. How long is he going to live? So is he going to reach the old age?  Is he going to die as a young man? So this is recorded. Then his actions and whether he will be happy or miserable. And this might be expanded also that whether he will be happy in the life after. So whether he will enter paradise or miserable or whether he will be in hellfire. So whether he will be in hellfire or miserable or whether he will be in hellfire. By the one other than whom there is no deity. Literally one of you performs the actions of the people of paradise until there is but an arms length between him and paradise. And that which has been written overtakes him. And so he acts with the actions of the people of the hellfire and thus enters hellfire. Now ask what are the causes of a bad ending? There's so many answers. The first one corrupt belief. Doubts. This or that. Being persistent in sins. No toba no repentance. Choosing to stay away from steadfastness. Someone likes to sin. Loving this mortal dunya over the immortal Akhira. So that the heart is attached to other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And verily one of you performs the actions of the people of the hellfire until there is but an arms length between him and hellfire. And that which has been written overtakes him. And so he acts with the actions of the people of paradise. And thus he enters paradise. And again, someone might ask what are the causes for a good ending? Keeping steadfast. Having good thoughts and expectations of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah says, I have good thoughts and expectations of Allah. So let us know what he wants. I am the same way to my servant, the same way he thinks of me. So if someone thinks that Allah is the most forgiving, Allah is going to help. Allah is going to show His mercy. Very strong faith. Also, hastiness and repentance after sinning. If someone sins, then they feel that this whole dunya is getting narrower and narrower. And it's so tight for him. And he won't feel good until he repents and asks Allah for forgiveness. And another, of course, another good way of having another good reason to have a good ending is to keep away from the causes of a bad ending. Avoid what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has ordered us to avoid. So if we link this hadith to the first hadith we started with, do you remember the first hadith we started with? It was about intentions. So in this hadith, we add that all deeds are based upon the final actions. So this should make us fear and never feel safe from entering Hellfire. As we never, we never know how our life will end. Nobody guarantees where he will die, how he is going to die, and what he would be doing when he dies. Nobody knows. And that's why we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to guide us, to show us the right way always and not to be deceived by this dunya. Shaytan swears that he is going to beautify bad deeds to the good humans. And I wanted to emphasize on the word the good humans because he knows that the bad humans do not need to be whispered to. So they don't give him hard times. But the good humans are those who challenge Shaytan.  And he will keep doing this until the day of judgment. He promised Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So Shaytan won't stop until the last breath is taken. And at the death time he would have a cup of water in his hand and he will try to convince the person who is suffering the agonies of death. He's trying to convince him to become a non-believer and he promises to give him a sip of water. And that's why when there is someone who is dying, they put drops of water on his lips so that to protect him from the fitna of death. The fitna of Shaytan. So it's not safe until we take our last breath. And that's why we always say our dua. Allahumma inna nasalukahusna al-khati iman. O Allah, give us the best ending.  Ya Allah, save us. We seek refuge in you from the fitna of Shaytan at death time. We make another dua when we say Allahumma jaal khaira a'malina khawatimaha.  We move on. Allah is hadith. And An-Aisha, radiallahu anha, qalat. Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Man ahdatha fi amrina haadha ma laisa minhu fahuwa radd. And in another narration, fi rwaya akhra, man amila a'malan laisa alaihi amruna thahuwa radd. So Aisha, radiallahu anha reported that the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the messenger of Allah said, he who innovates something in this matter, so he who innovates something in this matter of ours, which is in Islam, that which is not of it, which does not belong to Islam, will have it rejected by Allah. And in another narration, the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says, he who does an act which we have not commanded, will have it rejected by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So the first hadith from the 40 hadith dealt with internal aspects of acceptance of deeds, which is the Amir. Now this hadith deals with the external aspects of the acceptance. So both the internal and the external aspects of acceptance of deeds should be fulfilled. So it's not enough, it's not sufficient to just have a good intention for the action to be accepted. No, a thief might have a good intention, so he wants to steal some money to feed the poor. Will he be rewarded? Will that action be accepted? Is that action lawful? So no innovations. Sayyidina Anas radiallahu anha narrated that. I'm going to read the hadith now in Arabic. So three men came to the houses of the wives of Sayyidina Muhammad, to inquire about the worship of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So when they were informed, they thought of it as not sufficient. So one of them said, as for me, I pray all night long. So the first one prays all night and he does not sleep. The second one said, I fast continuously and do not break it. So I'm fasting every day. And the third one said, And I abstain from women and I will never get married. So Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam heard about them and he came to them. So Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came to them and he said, Are you the people who said so and so? By Allah, I fear Allah more than you do and I am the most obedient. I am the most dutiful among you to him. But I observe fast and I break it. I perform Salah and sleep at night. And I marry women. So whoever turns away from my sunnah does not belong to me. Allah says in Surah Al-Ma'ida, Today I completed. I have perfected your religion. So by the religion being complete, We know that Allah has not left any good or bad thing except that he mentioned. So our lesson from this hadith is that we have to appreciate Allah's blessings over us. So Allah has perfected his religion. He completed his religion for us. So we have to appreciate this blessing. That we do not need to look elsewhere to get closer to him. The Quran is there. The sunnah is there. The hadith is there. تركت فيكم امرين. Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I left two things for you. If you just get hold to them, then you will be saved. It's a Quran wa sunnah. So at the end of this hadith, Imam An-Nawawi put another narration of the hadith. And we find similar warnings. And the reason for that is that he wants us to know that it's not just the person who starts the innovation is wrong. But also the person who follows him in doing so is also wrong. Allah has given us countless blessings. And one of these blessings is the intellect. He gave us the intellect so that we have to think, is this lawful to do? Or is it unlawful so we have to avoid it? But sometimes we fall into a gray area.  And this is what the next hadith discusses. So the next hadith is about avoiding doubtful matters. So, So, So, I heard the prophet of Allah, the messenger of Allah saying, that which is lawful is clear. And that which is unlawful is also clear. Because there are evidence. This is clear. This is lawful. There is evidence that this thing is lawful. There are evidence that specify some things unlawful. And between the two of them are doubtful or there are ambiguous matters. So when you do a lawful thing, you don't think about it. But when you do an unlawful thing, you need someone, you feel that you need someone to give you a fatwa. That it's okay to do it. Your heart makes you feel anxious. It makes you feel uneasy that you did that deed. And that's of course, if a person has a sound heart, a good heart, it is hard to sin the first time. But then, if someone continues, then it becomes okay. It becomes a habit to think, to sin. There should be istaghfar for each sin, so it is erased. So between the two, the lawful and the unlawful, there are ambiguous matters. It is better always to leave the doubtful matters, even though when they may be halal, just to ensure that the doors of haram are completely closed. And there are people of Allah, the people of Allah leave a boundary of halal. They leave a boundary of halal, not of ambiguous matters, a boundary of halal. So not to fall into the doubtful matters. So what is the end of this sentence? So between the two areas, the halal and the haram, there are ambiguous matters about which not many people are knowledgeable. And here comes the importance of seeking knowledge. The importance of learning about our religion. Knowledge. And knowledge is something that we have to keep going and going and going and seeking until we die. The more we learn, the more we find that we are ignorant. There are so many things in this world. So if we learn something, there are a lot more that we have to learn about. So we have, so he who avoids these doubtful matters. So certainly that person would clear himself in regards to his religion and his honor. But he who falls into the doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful. We just mentioned it. We have to have a clear margin between halal and haram so we do not fall into the haram. It's like the shepherd who pastors around a sanctuary. All but grazing, grazing therein. So verily, every king has a sanctuary and Allah's sanctuary is his prohibition. So we have to be careful. The gray area, the doubtful areas we have to avoid to be on the safe side.  So many bad things are circling us that we have to avoid. In the body there is a morsel of flesh which if it be sound then all the body is sound and which if it be diseased then all the body is diseased. This part of the body is the heart. So the whole thing goes around, revolves around the heart. When we have a good heart, a sound heart, then things will become easier. Allah SWT says in Surat Al-Shara, يوم لا ينفع مال ولا بنون إلا من أت الله بالقلب إنستليم. The day when there will not benefit, nothing will benefit anyone, not wealth, not his children. Nothing will benefit anyone but only one who comes to Allah SWT with a sound heart. Now how can we have a sound heart? First of all we have to make dua. And then one of the people of Allah mentioned that to get a sound heart, you do this. When you pray Fajr, of course you pray the turakas of sunnah before it.  So this is the secret. This is a secret to have a sound heart. يا حيو يا قيوم لا إله إلا أنت. 41 times. After you finish praying your sunnah, turakas, you say 41 times. يا حيو يا قيوم لا إله إلا أنت. And then you pray your Fajr. So now you might ask what are the signs of a pure heart? So you always think of the akhir. You always think of death. You always think that we are not living forever in this dunya. We want to go to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with a clear heart that doesn't have anything about any bad feelings, any bad thoughts, anything about any other person. We want to have our heart pure for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Our heart should have Allah and the messenger in it. No dunya. Dunya should be in our pockets, not in our hearts. It's good to be rich. It's good to spend for the sake of Allah. But it's not good to love money, to love wealth. Money, wealth, everything should be in your pocket, not in your heart. Only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and his messenger are in our hearts. So continuously feeling upset if someone does something bad, does a sin, and the heart would immediately urge that person to repent and to do istighfar. So there is nothing in this heart except the love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The pleasure of worshiping Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The concern to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So we have to get a sound heart. Now if we ask ourselves, what is this way that the friends of Allah has shown us? It's just a nasiha. It's just giving advice. And this is what the next hadith is about that Ibn Uwey Siddari said, Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, The nasiha religion. We said to whom? He said to Allah, to his book, to his messenger, to the people of Muslims and their nation. So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, The religion is nasiha. It's to give good advice. And those people of Allah has given us advice of how to get a sound heart. So people asked who to give advice to who we are? And Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, To Allah, to his book, to his messenger and to the leaders of the Muslims and to the common thoughts of the Muslims. So giving nasiha, giving an advice has two ways. You give advice for a good person to be better. Or you give advice to someone who is sinning just to avoid sinning and of course to be better. So the first part is to give advice for people to get better, to get closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And you mention what you want to say publicly to everyone with the intention that you are doing this just for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But the second part, if you see someone sinning, you give him advice. But there are conditions for these advices. So the first one is to do it in private between you and that person. And you show him that you don't have any benefit out of saying the words that you're saying. Except that you want to help him to be away from Allah's punishment. So and then of course the intention is that you are doing this for the sake of Allah. And you make dua for that person. So the nasiha is wanting good for someone else. This is the nasiha. The first person to practice nasiha is the mom. Of course the parents. So if the mom gives nasiha to, gives an advice for her child about his studies, about his career, about something, then she is doing this advice for Dunya wise. But the wise mom cares about the Akhira of her children. So she keeps giving nasiha, she keeps giving advice since they are young. So that when they grow up, they would be similar to those people whom, to those young men, whom are... You remember the story of Sayyidna Usama Bin Zaid, we talked about it in previous series when I talked about the Sahaba, the companions of Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He was 17 years old when he led the Muslim army to go to fight the Romans. 17 years old to lead the army.  They will be coolness of a night to Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And this is what as mothers we have to raise our children to be, but we have to start with ourselves. We have to work hard on our heart. We have to have a pure heart so that we can, we taste the meaning of the word good heart, pure heart, so we can convey this meaning. We can make others taste the same thing that we are tasting. So giving nasiha is that you want good for someone with a sincere heart. It's just for the sake of Allah. And this was one of the great and noble qualities of Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He gave nasiha to his ummah continuously. He showed us the way that if we follow, then we will be safe on the day of judgment. We will be all united under the banner of Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So we have to purify our hearts. And how can we give nasiha to Allah? We have to believe in Allah. We have to purify our hearts. We have to have Allah in our hearts and only Allah with his messenger. So we have to strive hard in worshiping Allah and in following the Sunnah of Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We have to be sincere in our worship. We have to glorify Allah. This is how we give nasiha to Allah. This is what it means. What does it mean to give nasiha to his book? It means that we have to believe in the Quran and we have to follow the orders of the Quran. We have to have a strong bond between us and the Quran. Every day we should have a special time of the 24 hours just to connect with the Quran. It's not just a book that's on the bookshelf. No, the Quran should be in our heart. We should implement it. We should glorify it. We should learn it. We should teach it. This is how we have nasiha to Allah's book. We have nasiha to his messenger. How can we have nasiha to Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? It's by believing in him and putting his statement above any other statements. To be eager that we want to learn about Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We want to know about his Seerah. We want to know about his companions. We want to follow his Sunnah. We want to learn about his manners. We want to emulate them. We want to know how to love Sayyidna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And nasiha to the leaders of the Muslims. We want to be good to them for the sake of Allah SWT. We want to make dua for our leaders. We want to make dua for the ummah. So we want to show love. We want to show respect for the scholars. For the people in charge. The leaders of the Muslims. And we do nasiha for the common thoughts of the Muslims. By loving them. By loving them. By respecting the elders. By showing mercy to the youngsters. By being happy when people are happy. By sharing the feelings. And of course, by having a sound heart towards everyone. And this is what we ask Allah SWT for. We ask Allah SWT for granting us a sound heart. For giving us a sound heart. And we ask him to accept us. We ask him to give us the best of all the stages that we are going to pass by in our lives. We ask him to show us the lawful. We ask him to show us the unlawful. And we ask him to clarify the ambiguity. So that we will meet him. So that we will meet him. And he will be pleased with us. And we will be pleased with the rewards that he will be preparing for us. And until we meet again next week, insha'Allah, I would leave you now by sending your salam and my salam to our beloved Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
