these are the most scientific tests you've ever seen on your youtube when it comes to driver testing and right now I'm uploading the greatest challenge on Trackman Golf and we're gonna find out which is the longest driver between a Ping G425, a tailor made sim and what's with the one, the Callaway Epic Speed Yn agor, beth mae'n rhan o'r ddefnyddio sy'n ddim yw'n amlwg honno'n eu bod nhw'n gyd yn ddifen nhw'n adroddiadau y gallu wych, sy'n ddifen nhw'n amlwg. Ac efallai'n mynd i'n ddim, a'i rhan o'r awfgwr i'r gyrdd. Mae'n ddim yn 19. Ond efallai'n ddifen nhw'n ddifen nhw'n ddifen nhw.  Rwy'n dweud yn dweud o'n dda. Rwy'n dweud, mae hwn yn ddodiwc ym mwy o'r rhan o'r rhan o'r ddweud, ond mae'n dechrau nes yn ddechrau ar y ddweud o'r drafod ardraen sy'n gwneud. I'm not sure just how much difference that makes, but some will appeal to it in terms of custom fit. It is an extra option, but that's all three are pretty much set up identical in terms of loft. Which one do you think will win? Which do I think will win? Do you know what's a really good question? So don't forget this is all about distance. We're going all out so it's not going to carry distance. We're going to see which one hits the ground and where it actually finishes. I'm going to stick with the epic speed. I've reviewed all three so far and based on that I'd say the epic speed. Right so the rules of the game are dead simple. We've got a lot of time for each of these clubs. It's almost like the long drive competitions that you see. We've got a runway in which we've got a hit. We've got to find that target line otherwise if it slips outside of either holes they don't count. So a we've got to find a target and then b how far it is. As soon as I press go we've got x amount of minutes and a maximum of eight shots. Between each of the three drivers I will take a long enough break to get my breath back and give them equal chance. We're going to kick off with the Ping G4 25 and arguably it's getting the best run at it because well in theory by number three I will be all out of it. So here we go. There's a countdown. Join in at home four, three, two, here we go. Go. Oh that's a great start you know from Ping. I hope it's not too far down that left because that's a good ball flight in terms of oh don't go out get down. I'm staying because he's got a lot of top spin on it I think in terms of it seemed low spinning. That's a huge carry from what I'm seeing there. That's a massive first ball from Ping. Two eight five what a what a benchmark that is. Trust me I've been in this the other week and I don't think I got past two eight five when I had a good good old go with it so that's a great start from Ping that is. Wow and has absolutely banged down the middle. Whether or not he'll get that two eight four because I don't want to have a bit more spin on it. I don't know go ball go go no I didn't think so. Now almost right behind it it's right on the button but you can often see I'm on a timer so I can't talk too much but you can often see the ball flight differs and that was a bit more it was up in the air as opposed to a sort of more pacing and the same again that's pretty similar.  The one thing I'm really impressed with Ping on all the testing that I've done is if that's a fair way then you know so far we've just hit three out of three. That's a better ball that is again. The performance was this has been fantastic you know. It's really good. Her right down the middle go ball you just wait now and see what it does in terms of it's got it's so close that it's eat past it what's that it's about what's that 286 or something 288 wow right can you get a ball past 290 here we go. You can see I put everything I've got into it I might have just turned it over and it might sneak off down that this is the one that's got that sort of lower top spin low spinning flight on it so it'll kick on a bit and it's not going to quite get there is it yeah it's gone past it again well hand you'll be on a camera you don't know how good this is going but uh how long you can't see the screen behind you but well fat 291 I might have to start doing a bit of the old getting in the jamming I think I can get past 300 mark oh we're out of time whoo last ball hit so two what was it 291 carry that's incredible you know like I said earlier I've been on this before and um I didn't get I don't think I've got anywhere near that so carry 254 total 291 club ed speed 102 which is quick for me um so I'm certainly loosened up we'll play again I'm happy to keep on running with that let's hope that the sim doesn't get punished for my lack of energy if I start to wilt I'm swinging that quite well I want to carry on we've got to press a button again I have two minutes of things just to get me breath back let me know in the comment section down below just uh is this uh is this enjoyable to watch a bit of fun something we've never done on the channel before and obviously in terms of performance it's uh or a review but it's certainly not that but uh it's an interesting one so be uh see how this one goes now here we go sim 2 I tell you what I'm um I don't use a phrase like ripping it but for someone uh I'm in the ball a long way at the minute for me this is as good as I've got so that's again about 245 carry and it's not got quite the lowest spinning flight so what did that get to 281 we've got 10 yards to the fine tailor made at the minute oh no I've skied that right down the middle but skied it don't get me wrong if I was on a fare we had uh take it all day long anything down the middle is always uh acceptable but yeah that's gone that's just gone high it's a mile behind right this is the one oh and it could be as well it could be that is right down the middle I'm amazing myself with my own performance here today I'm allowed to say that right but it'll kick on will it kick on it's kicked on past 281 or has it yeah but it's not going to get to 291 I'll tell you what it's not far off it though 289 288 so we're three yards down at the moment we've got a minute and a half left in terms of the allotted time no we've seen the uh the additional effort I put into that one and turned it over when I say turned over I hooked it left do you know what it's uh it was actually a lot worse than that it's not done too bad it was a shame we've got a minute left we need one more good one to be 291 that's solid and down the middle again I don't know whether that's got quite enough in it I don't think that's going to roll out from there is it 250 carry on the button and it's rolling out it's getting close it's getting close wow that's almost identical that must be 287 288 so two balls at 288 one last shot we've got 20 odd seconds to go so come on last one you've got three yards to find well I'll tell you what it's everything I had is that enough as it got too much in terms of ball flight and is it going to take a bit of that spin go ball go ball go ball it's gone past 288 as it got it with the last shot it could you know this could be 292 it said out of time tell me that's recorded that last ball 293 last ball 253 carry 14 wow 293 so that must have been all down to being that lower spinning flight again um and has literally got it by two yards with the last ball the last kick of the ball I'm enjoying this aren't you yeah yeah oh wow I'm going to reload I want to um I want to keep it going because I think I'm I'm pretty much you know from an adrenaline point of view I don't think I should lose it and stop now so 293 yeah ready sure we've got the right driver I think I have to press it again now this is being recorded on the first day back that golf course is open again in England so hopefully you've all been out there and are enjoying it some real golf but in the meantime I'm just having a bit of fun getting as long as I can and these are these have been impressive so far I don't forget and this is the this is the one I said would win yeah there's a bit of pressure on here because I'll tell you now 293 that's a lot to beat and I won't beat it with that it's a terrible start have it another one of those uh duck hooks barely carried 200 yards it'll run a fair bit now we're in play we're on the fairway but it wasn't nice right common no I think I'm feeling the pressure of my own uh my own shout here it's actually going to be the worst performing not the best seriously 230 carry would have gone into the first cut right we're going to have to get to pull something out of the bag here that's a ball that's a ball and that again should chase as well when it lands you can't half tell the difference in the ball flight but this once this hits now it should scoot and it has scooted but nowhere near I don't think up to that uh what is that one now is that 280 odd what've we got come on we're running out of time here oh it wasn't 280 odd it was 292 we're just in 292 that's a yard down come on don't let me down then we know it's in there that's the one that's the winner see you will it be right see the carry first of all that's a 250 carry is it going to scoot over that mark oh and you've made a right feel to yourself it doesn't even be the last one it hasn't either I think it's identical is it another one at 292 again wow how many shots have we got left I've probably got two we've got a minute left on the timer I thought that was the one well again I give that everything I add but the problem is I think I might have just turned it off is it going to hang in on the left hand side I don't think it is you know two nah it's a two 280 284 or 285 is it come on quickly I've got 28 seconds that was two we've got 292 come on this has been quite an exciting end then if we get this one in right the last earth it's down the middle it's got the right shape it's a low penetrating ball flight will it kick will it kick go go go go oh wow I think that again is finished you know it'll be 292 again ah the last one was 291 well I'm out of breath the challenge is over the winner was the sim but you know it was interesting I hope this is like a say a very different video and whether or not it actually makes it out if you're watching it well clearly it did but we thought we'd try this as a little bit of a fun experiment I really enjoyed taking part in the challenge but in terms of performance it was also interesting these are three top top drivers but how interesting was it in terms of the numbers we've got three clubs there and I can't recall them off the top of my head but I think the ping was 288 then we went up to was it 291 well whatever then we went up to just a couple yards difference in terms of the sim and then we've just gone 292 with this there was barely two or three yards separating them from front to back so that just shows you how little difference there is between these three drives and any modern driver right now it's incredible it's just about getting that right shaft head combination getting the lang getting a loft right that suits you getting that spin number down and getting optimum performance and it was interesting to see like you said just how similar those three clubs performed incredible but I suppose the winner I was wrong it wasn't the epic speed it went to the tailor made well done tailor made as for everybody else thank you for watching I like I said hope you enjoyed it sticky comments down below and let me know what you thought of that fun challenge and I'll see you soon


This study evaluated the performance of the newly available Sentinel-2A multispectral instrument, MSI, imagery for mapping water bodies. The study used the Normalized Difference Water Index, NDWI, at 10 M resolution to sharpen the 20 MSWIR bands. The results showed that the proposed NDWI-based MNDWI image has better separability and is more effective for both classification level and boundary level final water maps than traditional approaches.

Today, we're fishing for giant bass and hidden ponds. We're headed out to a location we never fished before in hopes that we can land some of these giants. It can be difficult finding the right ponds of fish, but by the end of the video, not only did we find some fire ponds with big bass, but we had a ton of surprise catches that you'll have to see. So sit back, relax, and join us on this journey to catch some of these monsters. All right boys, we're gonna be hunting for these giants today. I got an old lipless crankbait on my Kickin' Their Bass TV XLUZ Combo. If you guys wanna check them out, kickintheirbass.com. They'll be linked down below, but let's go ahead and get it started. Fall time is here. Fish are chewing up on bait, and now I'm excited to catch some big bass today guys. We're gonna be hidden a lot of different places today. And most of these, we don't actually know, like we haven't fished before. So I'm even more excited about that. Just kind of pond hopping and searching for these giants. It's gonna be a nice steamroll in this trap. I actually got Tara with me too. She's on the other side over there, and she has like a little Texas rig. And I don't know if you guys see, but over here on this other side of the bank, bunch of different laydowns. It looks prime for a bottom bait. But you guys know, fall time, bass chewing up on bait. And there's not a perfect or better bait than a lipless crankbait this time of year. By far my favorite. Y'all will be seeing me throw a lipless for a little bit of time, especially since we're in the fall. Before we get deeper into this video, only 27% of you all watching these videos are actually subscribed. So if you could take the time at the subscribe button. Really helps the channel. I'd appreciate it.  That shaded area right there? Yeah. Something blew off over there. Like right in that corner. Go in the, you gotta go. I know, I'm being a little careful. I can't believe it, I see it. There we go. Just like that. There. That is not a bass. That's a catfish. What is that? Wait, is that what I saw like going crazy? What is that? It's a catfish. I literally just catch the first fish of the day guys. And it's a freaking catfish. I got him hooked extremely well. All right, that is bad.  Boys, we got some technical difficulties. I forgot the water wasn't in front of me and I kind of threw him right in the mud. Come on buddy. Go, go. Yes. Oh my gosh. That should have not been as difficult as it was. He got hooked up worse than I've ever seen a fish get hooked up on a lipless. And I tried to throw him back in the water. I straight mudplant him right into the ground. But guess what? That is our first fish of the day. Would have not guessed to catch a catfish on a lipless to start off the video. But that is the start. And we got the skunk off our bag now. So we're moving. All right Tara, no more catfish. Don't be telling me where the catfish are sitting.  Oh dude, this looks spectacular. And guys, I'm pretty sure I just picked up on something that would have been nice to pick up on a minute ago. And I probably would have changed my approach. But I am 90% positive that this is a brackish pond, which means there's more than likely some fresh water and saltwater fish in here. More than likely saltwater though. And I think that's what we're seeing. We're seeing a lot of boils from just different saltwater fish. One thing I have noticed too, is if you look on the bank and that's what spooked me earlier when I threw that catfish back, that is wet, right? And the water's down. So that tells us one thing. And I can tell the water's moving ever so slightly. The water's actually low and this is definitely getting funneled by a natural creek. That is either saltwater or brackish water. So with that being said, it might not be a bad idea to come back here later if we want to. But we need to keep moving spots. This is definitely a saltwater pond. And we're here to find these big bass. Massive tree. Gosh. I was waiting for a head shake, but too good to be true. We're definitely getting this back though. I am not going to lose my strap in that tree. I think this is another saltwater pond, to be honest with you. I hope you guys see those shells right there too. Oh, we're just going to pull in the whole tree, boys. We have caught nothing, but trees, pond straw, and catfish. There we go. All right, we're on to the next one. We're going to move quick, guys. If they ain't biting or we're not filming it, we're just going to keep on going. All right, boys, new pond, new me. Let's get started. This one looking, this one looking saucy. I like the water clarity. Got a little bit of wind, good ripple on the water. A little more open. Demon. I'm feeling a bite pretty quick here. I'm sensing it, boys. Water looks right. Everything just sets up good at this pond. You guys, you got one. Heck yeah. What you got, girl? Beautiful first bass of the day. It was good. That was a nice one. I'm throwing a Texas rig with a curl on it. Felt the tick, I actually felt him follow it. Felt a little small tick. Nothing, and they followed it all the way to the bank. Good job, girl. First bass. That's what we needed. We just needed one, you know what I mean? Now they're going to turn up. There he is right there. There we go, baby.  Oh yeah, guys, we're about to turn up. I feel it. I'm feeling it. He smoked that thing, too. So we actually had a big cold front roll in. I know everybody around the U.S. probably had this cold front a couple of days ago. And I was curious to see how these fish are going to bite, but it's been about three days since the cold front. I didn't want to really fish right after it because sometimes they're just acting up and they're not wanting to bite at all, but that was a good sign. Just like that. I was working a lot different that time, too. There we go, baby. Not a big one, but he is feisty. He is feisty, and that is my first bass, right here. We land them. Come here, baby. Let's go. Little pounder, he's pretty chunky though. You can tell he's been eating. That is a super healthy fish. Got that front treble. There we go, boys.  Thank you, baby. And I think I just learned something off that. So, you know, I talk about this all the time, guys. When you go out fishing, you need to be paying attention to the little things. I've been reeling it in pretty quick because it's so shallow. I don't feel like picking up the pine straw and all the gook on the bottom. So I'm reeling it pretty fast. A different method that you can do with this lipless that I've had a lot of success with is you throw it out. And I'm just gonna reel it in, all right? Just like this. And I'm gonna start stroking the bait up and letting it fall. I'm gonna reel my slack, stroke it back up, let it fall. And some days that is a killer method of getting these bites. And that's actually just how I caught that one. So we're gonna start trying it out. And maybe that's what they want today. So let's start giving this a try and see if we can increase our bites. Look at that. Look at that. That's a better one. That's a big one right there, boys. That's a big one. He's running way to the right. Oh my gosh, he's just, yeah. That's a big fish. Don't be calling me. You're calling me at the wrong time, bubba. This is a monster, guys. I got him hooked weird. Tell you what, I got a giant. I got a giant, I think. No, it's a good fish, though. I just got him hooked weird. Oh my gosh, that's a brute, though. Look at that fish. That is the smallest, fattest bass I've ever seen. Look at this. Oh my gosh. Look at that. That is a straight meatball.  I mean, that fish is every bit of over three pounds when he should only be two pounds.  Oh my goodness. He felt huge. That is probably the stockiest fish I've caught all year, honestly.  That's kind of how that first one was I got. The beautiful colors on that bass. And man, he felt good. It made me think I had a monster. That is our first good fish today. That's a three pounder and a two pounder's body, man. There he goes. Heck yeah, that is sick.  I started reeling it. I saw a boil behind my bait and it was instant. He just slammed it. There might be some more fish stacked up out there. I'm telling you, when he bit me, I saw another boil behind me and I don't know if it's just multiple fish or if that was actually his boils out. Let's make another cast out there. That was insane, man. I mean, these fish, that was one of the healthiest bass I've ever caught. All right, boys, pond number four. Oh, and this looks spicy. This looking spicy, ticy. We've got the ball rolling at the last pond. Ooh, these are definitely saltwater fish. I'm getting slammed. I'm gonna run back to the truck real quick. I don't think that these are bass and I'm curious to see what they are.  All right, boys, we're gonna try this real quick. I don't know, it just, it doesn't look like saltwater. That was a big one. Big one. My rod is just whistling. It's a massive one, Tare. Massive. I'm talking like, I got him in the tail. What is it? What is, what kind of, oh, it's a bass. Okay, I'm so confused. Gosh, he had my rod whistling, boys. Tare, that thing was going crazy. Oh, he's aggressive too. Pretty pound and a half, maybe two pound fish. I thought I had a giant there.  Not treating him like a catfish. You know guys, I'm having to work this trap so fast. Like I'm not wanting to, it's just, these ponds are so shallow and with the grass and pine straw, it's like you don't have a chance to work it slow. You gotta just keep moving it and popping it off the bottom. But they're still biting, getting some good bites here. Oh, that was a monster. I'm talking giant. Look at the boil.  He tried to swallow it and I think he just barely missed it. I think I was just reeling it so fast that he was just, he got aggressive. I felt him for two seconds and then it just came off. Oh, there we go. There's another one right where I caught that other one. Small one though.  We catch the small ones, we miss the big ones. And I know that's just a funny saying guys, you better be like, oh, they actually weren't big, but no, no, no, no, no. That fish was a monster. But I will say I've had two bites of this tree right here, something about that little spot. It's holding fish in the meantime of both losses. Two good ones right here to the left. It's crazy because we didn't have any bites up there on the pond. It's all in this corner and it's right where this pipe connects. There he is, right out in the middle. That looks like a good one. I can't tell though. He feels nice. Gosh, the boil looks crazy. Do I have them hooked weird again? What is going on? Yeah, it's not even that big. That's a nice fish. Oh, that's a good pound and a half here. Thank you, baby. Thank you for the nibble. Got that one hook bottom jaw. So pretty bass. Thank you, buddy. He was way out in the middle out there. All right, boys, let's go across the street. There we go.   My bait's messed up. That was a monster. He might eat it again. Did you hook him? That boil looked insane. Trash, he tried to eat it. Boys, we're getting tested by the big fish today. We've just got to be patient, stay positive. And it's going to happen. That's a big one. I can't tell if it's big or not. Yeah, that's a... It might be the best one today, Tara. Yeah, look at that. As it was coming out of my mouth. Look at how pretty that fish is. Look at that, baby. Look at that. Just have to stay positive. Keep fishing. And boom, got a nice one. That's probably a two and three quarter, close to three pound bass. We're a step closer for some of these giants. Let's get her back in the water. Thank you, baby. This fish are just grutes. Guys, you see that? We got a little flustered earlier. He's got to stay positive, got to keep casting. And as it was coming out of my mouth, boom, we catch three pounder. I won't tell you, man. Just got to keep at it. Just had these fish beat us up. We just got to keep fishing. We're going to get the bites. Right there, baby. Come home, big Bertha. Guys, these three pounders are nice, but I want to see a dang six, seven pounder. I don't know if we had the opportunity today, but we definitely had some on above three. I mean, we had a couple really good fish. Mott massive boils, there's two. There's three boils with one on the other side. He ate it just like that. Little tiny fish. If you guys are wondering why I'm staying so far off the bank here, I'm not wanting to spook this fish because I can technically throw it right back in and catch another one. We're going to unhook this fish. I'm actually going to release them just right here. I was trying to put one on your hook. Hey, there's a lot over here. Come here, Ty. I'm telling you, there's a lot. You're going to throw in, you're going to get bit right away, okay? Just throw right up on that corner, you're done. Like he's on, I'm telling you. Boom, right there. It's game over. There's more on this bridge too. I threw in here. There's so many boils out here. He ate me in, so. You got him? Nice. That was sick. Good job, girl. Small but mighty. That's not mine. Honestly, mine was smaller than that. Good job. Man. Little tiny one. Sorry, I know you're good. Yeah? You want me to show? You want to see a fish art in? Look. That's cool, right? Look. Fishy day. Yeah, of course. Have a good night. Shall we show you the little take? The little take fish to the little take. The little take fish to the little take you, man. You know what I mean? All right, boys. One last time for good measures over here and then we're going to a new spot. We stayed a little too long at these ponds, but we did get a lot of bites. Cut a lot of fish. Missed a couple nice ones. Cut a nice one. Biggin? No. You let that fish have it. You weren't trying to get him to come off, were you? He was. You were break dancing over there, man. A little bit of break dance action. A little bit of break dance action. I like it. So fast on the reel. You got to do what you got to do, man. With a little twinkies. All right, Terry. Listen, these fish were fun, but it's time to go catch some big ones. We're still on a mission. We've got to keep pond hopping and find these giants, baby. Let's keep it going. We're out of way. God, I'll leave. Boy, it's a twinkie fish. Oh, there he goes. Well, I couldn't even say we're out of a new pond, but we're out of a new pond and first cast got swamped. Just not a big one. That was the littlest little sharky. Did you see him? What was that? I like tried to hook him and he just went straight up in the air. It looks good. I just don't know. Oh, there he is. Oh, that's a nice one, Terry. Oh yeah, baby. First cast again in another pond. First cast magic. That's a good two-pounder. Look at how fatty he is. Nice. Here we go, boys. First cast on the last pond. Caught a tiny one. First cast on this pond. Got a little bigger. Heck yeah, beautiful two-pound bass there.  Some of these fish are just brute guys. You can tell they're eating up on bait right now. Fall time and they're chewing. There you go, buddy. There it goes. All right, boys, we are back fishing and we're here for some revenge. We gotta capitalize today. And more importantly, catch some big bass. And I know we're gonna have some opportunities today. So let's just keep moving, casting around. Keep a positive attitude. Catch some of these hogs. Saw some bait moving around in this corner in a loon chasing. This might be the zone right over here. Haven't had a bite yet. But I can pay attention to that bait and kind of position ourself in maybe the right spot. This water in this pond is actually really clear. It's a lot clearer than I was hoping, honestly. We got a natural color on. Just a lot of vibration with this lipless, but we can still catch them in this. There he is right there. Can't tell how big this fish is, guys. Feels like a good one. I can't tell. He's just pulling me. I might have him hooked weird. Look at him just running. Okay. Oh, that's a decent fish. There we go. Let's start off today on a good note. Look at that fish go. Oh my gosh. He is strong. Come on, Bubba. Oh yeah. Good little two pounder, healthy fish. Super fat. He slammed that trap and I'll tell you, the reason we caught this fish, there's two reasons. Beautiful point out there. And two, we actually saw that bird feeding on some bait and then boom, throw in there. Catch a little two pounder. Super healthy. Thank you, baby. That was money, guys. There's probably more fish over there too. That bird was eating bait. I can only assume, especially on that corner, on that bend, there's a lot more fish down there. We are on board, son. That did not take long, maybe 10 minutes. Kind of fish. Let's see if there's some more out there. Just imagine they're stacked up on that bait. Oh, there was a huge blow up over there. Did you see that, Tara? Yeah, look at them schooling over there. Oh, dude. That is just way too far out of my reach. This is a big pond. You know what, screw it, we're going. We're gonna meet Tara over there.  So maybe the bait's just going down the bank and that school of bass is following that bait too. Here we go. I think they're gonna continue to go back there. I don't even know if they're where I just casted anymore. I'll throw one on this point just for good measures. Oh my gosh, Tara, they're schooling over here again. Every time I cast, they're just schooling. I was a little short. I can not believe I haven't got hit in that. That's insane. Yeah, look at that. It's coming in from the other side. Hard part about that incoming tide is they could be anywhere. I bet you there's that 100% fish around there, so. For sure. Little pinfish. I was literally just thinking that in my head. I'm like, if I catch a pinfish, should I give it to the bird? Should I give it to him? Fuck, I should, right? You should. Hold on. Here. Here, bird. Here. Here. Guess you don't want it. So now this is a pretty little pinfish though. I love how it is. Like a little bit of blue. Yellow. That's right. All right, boys. A little switch in plans. We're gonna try a little bit of multi-species action. A little bit of bass, a little bit of tarpon, a little bit of redfish, maybe a little bit of everything. I guess we're gonna figure it out.  And we're gonna see what we can get bit. I think we're gonna catch a mixture of everything if they're gonna bite, so. We're gonna try something different out just for a second. Since we're buying these ponds, I just look a little salty to me. I'm gonna get one of these mama's chicken swim baits. That is money, boys, for about anything that'll bite. These bass will bite this thing, too. This is brackish. Somebody left their bait out here. It's literally a bag of moldy. That should tell us something. We're doing something right. I don't think they're fishing for moldy for bass. I think we're gonna get slammed. We're walking out to this pond. It's in this corner and it's got a lot of current in it. I think that's gonna be the game changer. Oh, Tara, there's a blow up right there. What is that? Where's that water? Right there. Look, there's fish jumping over there. There's so much movement. But look at this, like, water pit. Oh, yeah, this is where the water's coming in. Yeah, they're jumping everywhere. Holy cow. A crab? Oh. All of them. Is there crabs in there? Yeah, I know they're coming. Did you get any bites in that? They're flickering pretty hard. Oh! Dude, come on. He just hammered me there. Really? Yeah. One hard hit. He just never had it. I mean, this is right where the current's at. It would make sense. Yeah, look at them jumping. I don't know what that is. Yeah, I just got hit again. Oh, they're hitting it. I'm gonna let it sink.  I'm gonna go get the truck.  I got a little rooster. Look at that. See, this might be too light for me to even catch. I'm just gonna let it go. Like that. No way. It's not a blue guy. It has to be like a pinfish. Oh my gosh, it is a pin. It's crazy bait. Look at that, boys. Just got a pinfish on a rooster tail. You said we can't do a little bit of saltwater action. Little bit of multi-species pond action. It's how to work. There's a little rooster tail. Pretty slow there and he ate it.   They were all taking it. Look how many are right there. Oh, there's a whole school. I don't know if the camera can see this getting dark. Oh, get him. You got him. Oh, you might get something bigger.  You got a nice fish. Let him fight, let him fight. Let him fight, you got a big one. What is that? Is it a red? Is it a red? I can't see it. Oh, it's a rabbit. Oh my gosh. Let's go. Look at that, girl. Hey, are you not the day with a red fish? I caught a little pinfish. You ever here catching reds? We were hoping for a red. I don't know. I believe he ate this tiny little thing. Hold him up for the camera, girl. There we go, Terrell. Heck yeah. Beautiful. All right, get him back in. Don't, don't toss him. Get him in the water soft if he can. They're a little fragile. There you go. Good job. Heck yeah. You wanna high five? Nah, not doing that.


My name is Cynthia Lee Sinclair and this is Finding Respect in the Chaos. I'm here without any guests today because we're going to talk about something that's really important that's happening here in Honolulu and across the whole country, as a matter of fact. We're going to talk about what's happening to Planned Parenthood. I should say the assault that is happening on Planned Parenthood across the country. We now have five states that have decided on their own to go against Roe v. Wade and put in place their own state sanctions and restrictions on the ability for people to access good healthcare. This isn't just about abortion and that's the part that's so frustrating for so many people. We will hear different accounts from different people throughout this show today that's going to talk about just exactly what's going on with Planned Parenthood. Just exactly what percentage of their services entitles abortion and how much of it entitles women's healthcare and how important it is for people to have access to that kind of affordable healthcare. People with no insurance can walk into Planned Parenthood and get the services that they need. What's going to happen when it's gone? What's going to happen to those people? We know that in Alabama, right now, one of the perfect examples of how wrong these kind of laws can go, there's a woman who's about to stand trial for murder because she got in an argument with another woman over the daddy for the baby that was inside her. She was five months pregnant. She ended up getting shot by the other girl and it killed the baby. Well now, because she's the one who initiated the argument, she is on trial, going to go on trial for murder. Now you tell me, how screwed up is that? In my mind, that is a perfect example of how twisted and wrong these kind of restrictions can go. I have the perfect, perfect solution for ending abortion. Every man at the age of sexual activity once he is sexually active is required to get a vasectomy. It's easily done and it's easily reversed when he decides he wants to have children. No side effects, no horrible blood clots and sterility factors involved. It's the man's job now, or should be anyway, but men don't want to hear that. You know, it's being sort of circulated as a funny meme on Facebook, but if you ask me, it's not funny. If you ask me, that's the solution. Why is it women's problem? Why is it women's responsibility when we have to go through so many things involved with contraception, all of which carry a big bunch of dangerous side effects? Vasectomies? There's no side effects. And really there's very, very little margin for error that can't be restored when they decide they want to have children. Now a woman can have one child in a year, one. No matter how many times she has sex, she can only have one baby per year. Now a man, he can go out there and make hundreds of babies in a year. Now you tell me, whose responsibility should this be? As a woman, I'm really tired of it being our job, and I think that the men should get involved. There is a pill already out there right now, but there's lots of side effects, and men don't want to take the chance. Back to Planned Parenthood. The one place where safely women can go and get the services that they need, and it's being ripped from us. It's not right. I'm going to show a few videos here that's going to talk a little bit more about the history of Planned Parenthood, how it got started, and just exactly how things have changed over the years. And then we're going to talk a little bit about what's happening with our Planned Parenthood that just opened here in Honolulu. If we could see one of those videos and get it started, that'd be great. Planned Parenthood was founded over 100 years ago on the revolutionary idea that women have the right to access the information and care that they need to live healthy lives. And today the Planned Parenthood Action Fund fights to protect that right, often in the face of extreme politicians trying to take it away. It remains that reproductive health and rights are under attack like never before. And the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to undermine and reverse Roe v. Wade and systematically deprive women of their right to choose are aggressive and relentless. They are aggressive and relentless. It's an important part to remember. The things that are happening in our politics, politics, why is a woman's health anywhere involved in politics? That's our bodies. That's our health. That is our own sacred right that's being ripped away from us because we live in a patriarchal society and men think that all the responsibility should lay on us. We've got another clip that talks a little bit more about Planned Parenthood. If you'd roll that clip now, that'd be great. Planned Parenthood is 100 years old this year and 50 years old here in Hawaii. What was the initial mission on it and how has that changed, if at all? Well, Margaret Sanger and her colleagues smuggled diaphragms into New York City 100 years ago. Against the law? Yes. Absolutely against the law. In pickle vats. They labeled them pickles. I love the story. I know, so that nobody would know what was in there and it was illegal to use them as illegal to sell them, as illegal to educate about them and talk about them. So good many women, middle and upper class women interestingly, went to jail to prove the concept that women really needed to be able to do this and it was not obscenity that it was actually part of the mainstream and thanks to all the supporters of Planned Parenthood over the many, many decades now using contraception has become incredibly normative. It's part of the Affordable Care Act. All the insurance policies include it now and it's seen as part of what creates a healthy society. We've worked about three years ago and of course, being an old time board member from the Hawaii board, there's always some trepidation and some territorial protection, cultural competition issues. Any merger has that. But I would say it's been so positive in every way and the main thing is that you want to deliver the best possible healthcare services to your patients and we're really headed in that direction and it's economies of scale in terms of converting over to electronic medical records when you've got four states sharing and all in one system, implementation and maintenance is so much more central. So things have changed. Absolutely. We have a wonderful education program where folks in Planned Parenthood in Hawaii are available to go out to schools and provide information on reproductive health and in fact there's no constraint about that. No. There's no separation from the educational side. People are invited. People are invited by schools. So it's up to the schools to invite and this program actually won the Apple Award which is a significant education award. Except for Apple. We wish. It's an educational award within Planned Parenthood and so we're very proud of this really. That's just a little piece of the history that we're looking at. A hundred years ago, can you imagine smuggling diet frams into New York City? Wow. What a difference, right? What a difference things are nowadays and now here in Hawaii we've just opened up a brand new facility and I know that Dayton, Kavarn and Marjorie Owl came on one of my shows a few months back just before the grand opening and I've got a little clip of them talking about the new facility and what's all involved with it. We can show that clip. That'd be great. So anyway, so she said, well, she's going to look for some property because Elyse was coming up and we just can't continue to exist in that space because it's too small and of course Elyse was going up too and so she said, you know, I have never regretted buying a piece of real estate. So she said, I'm going to do it and then all of a sudden she said, we've closed. We own it now. Wow. That's so exciting and that's Christine Charbonneau, right? Exactly. Okay. Our fearless leader. Our braven fearless leader. That's wonderful. Then the next step of course is to improve it. It had already been a medical clinic, this front clinic for many, many years and it already had small examining rooms and a lot various sinks and, you know, support staff but she says, no, we're going to start all over again. We're going to do it right. So it will last another 50 years. Lasting another 50 years is exactly what we want. The assault on women's health and women's right to choose is unbelievably crazy sometimes when I think about it. When I think about the closed-minded ignorance involved in some of the things that are going on as far as protesters seeing that the right to life, they don't want anything to do with the babies once they're born. They don't want anything to do with the fact that these people, even if they've been raped or they're pregnant because of incest, they think that that girl should go ahead and have that baby. They don't even think about the fact that it's going to be traumatic for her. They think it would be more traumatic to have the abortion. They're wrong. They're dead wrong.  I couldn't handle that. It was more than I could handle. This is a long, long time ago when I was very young. And now I work with victims of incest and I work with rape victims. And I know the kind of trauma that they have to endure. They don't just randomly say, oh, well, I think I'll just get rid of this child. No big deal. They really pray about it. They really think about it. They really talk about it. Planned Parenthood has an amazing program of counseling and therapy both before and after. You can't just walk in, get an abortion, and you're done. Planned Parenthood cuts you loose. That's not how it works. They explain all of your options very clearly in a safe, healthy, respectful environment. They respect the right to choose. I know girls that can handle it.  And it doesn't affect them. But that's not everybody. It's not even the norm. The people that do end up keeping their child under extreme situations often end up committing suicide because they cannot handle looking at the face of their abuser.  Their rapist has rights to that child, and now that victim is attached to that rapist for the rest of their life. How can that be right? It's not right. I have problems with people who think that they are so self-righteous that it is okay for them to judge other people. There's a group that come down to Planned Parenthood. I don't know. Every time I drive by, they're there here in Honolulu, and it just irritates me when I see them. I have some clips of those guys down there. They're obnoxious. I have some clips. When I got there, I said, hey, I'm doing a story on Planned Parenthood. Do you guys mind if I get you on camera and ask you some questions? They all came running with their signs eager to tell me what they think. Let's show some of those clips now, okay? There's other reasons why they think the police see it, but I have information here. The risk that they have, the one they can cause, cervical cancer, breast cancer, young girls don't know and Planned Parenthood don't tell them. Are you guys affiliated with the local church? It doesn't matter. I can't really hear you. I'm sorry. Can you speak up, please? Sounds like a loaded question to me. Can you speak the truth? Yeah. This is about Planned Parenthood, the Negro project, the pill, contraceptives, they should ... So can you explain why you're against contraceptives? Because it disrupts the natural process of procreation. So this is all about procreation then? It interferes with the women. Well, yeah, I mean if you're blocking contraception and abortions, pardon me? You can stop people from getting AIDS, you still can get AIDS but contraceptive. Yes you can. You need condoms. There's natural ways in order to get better options. Well, Planned Parenthood don't tell them that. It'll tell the young girls that. They just said, take the pills. Have sex. No, that's not what they say. Dude. Sorry, but that's not what they say. Go at it. Sexualizing children too. What? Yeah. Sex education is sexualizing children. So you don't believe in sex education in the schools either? Not their way. There's other ways. You want information on that? But Planned Parenthood isn't normally the one who does sex education in the schools.   And they said homosexuals is normal. That's their way. That's the pattern of sex education. So you're also against all equality for marriage and all of that sort of stuff too then? Yeah, oh yeah. I'm for God. If he's against that, I'm against that. They're pretty opinionated, wouldn't you say? And they all think they know. Planned Parenthood doesn't tell you that. Yes, Planned Parenthood does.  While I was there filming them, there was a couple that came out of the door and saw them, turned around and went back in again. They don't want to be anywhere near these people. A little bit later, I guess the man of the couple needed to leave so he comes out and walks by and one of the guys, the guy that was in the red shirt, chases him down. Oh, here, here, you've got to take this leaflet. And you can hear the guy saying, no, no, you already gave me one. They're harassing people as they walk in the door. Now these are people that are already having enough problems and trouble and trauma from having to walk through the door to begin with. And then they've got to deal with this. In my mind, there should be a law. That those people have to stay a certain distance away from the door so that people can actually access the building without being harassed by these people. And they want to wave their signs. They want to believe what they want to believe. That's one thing. But to harass people, that's a whole other thing altogether. Now I don't know if you noticed while we were watching that video, but when I asked them what church are you guys from, they didn't want to tell me. Why? Are they ashamed of their church? I'm a very proud United Methodist. I'd be happy to tell you, that's where I'm from. These guys, no, no, is it because what? They're afraid we might realize the hypocrisy of what they're doing? The one man, the older man in the hat. I've seen him there before. He already told me that he's from the Catholic church. I'm pretty sure, not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure that all of those people are Catholics. In my mind, they should all be home trying to clean their own house before they try to tell other people what to do. With the absolute rampant statistics involved in child abuse and the Catholic church, these people have no business out there trying to tell someone else what to do. Now, I'm not saying I have anything against Catholics, but I do believe they should be trying to clean up their own house before they tell other people what to do. I know I get a little worked up about all this, and it's because I feel strongly about it. It's because the hypocrisy involved with what's going on in the Catholic church for them to even spend five seconds doing anything else but treating the people that are victims of the child abuse rampant, excuse me, child abuse that goes on in that church. That man in the hat, when I found out he was a Catholic, when I said this to him, he said, well, I know because I've had a family member that was abused. And still, he's out there. And I think, why aren't you doing something about the people that have been abused, especially if you've got someone in your family dealing with that? I don't understand it. I call it arrogance. And you know, I don't think that's what God wants us to be. There's a very precious scripture to me, and it's this. Judge not, lest the measure you give be the measure you get. Now these Catholics, I don't know, they better be careful because they are not giving anybody any measure. I need to take a big deep breath after I think about these guys. The next little clip that I'd like to show you guys is a little bit of hope. Let's go in the opposite direction. Let's look forward to where we can go. Let's look forward to the fact that we are so incredibly fortunate to live here in Hawaii, where the law is on our side, where our local politicians are on our side. Well, on the side of women, when I say our side, I mean on the side of women's right to choose, a woman's right to have complete autonomy over her own body and not have anyone that can tell her what she can and cannot do with it. So, we have another little video clip here, and it was taken at the opening, the grand opening of the new Planned Parenthood. If you'd show that next clip, that'd be great. Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest in the Hawaiian Islands and campaign co-chairs Marjorie Owl, Dr. Thomas Kosasa, Ray St. Chu, and Richard Turbin celebrated the opening of their new State of the Art Health Center on February 23rd, and Think Tech was there. We heard the comments by Planned Parenthood's officials and walked the floor to talk with the people who were there. I'm doing a guest appearance as Lieutenant Governor. I remember my days fondly being a Think Tech host, and I'm here with Jennifer Allen from Planned Parenthood. Jennifer, introduce yourself. Hi, everyone. Jennifer Allen, I am the CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest in Hawaii. We are the part of Planned Parenthood that does advocacy and political work so that everyone can access the health care they need. Jennifer, can you tell us about the breadth of your job? Are you in this state and many others? How does that work? Yeah, I am actually in this state and many others. We are very happy and privileged to be able to work with our friends in Hawaii here. We also work in Washington, Alaska, and Idaho. What is your message to the people of the city and county on the issue of Planned Parenthood? The message is that we welcome them, that we invite this organization here to help all of us, help all women and men to be better in their everyday lives. And what is your message to the Supreme Court on the legal issues surrounding Planned Parenthood? Leave Roe v. Wade alone. It's an excellent decision that Justice Brennan wrote. It should stand. It stood the test of time. Let's not reverse course and go back to the 1950s. Boy, out of the lips of our mayor, let's not go back to the 1950s. This is 2019, for goodness sakes. There's no excuse for going backwards. Unfortunately, our president has given license to these people who are stuck in the 1950s or the 1970s, which is when Boe v. Wade came about. 2019, let's stay here in the present. I reach out to you out there. Get involved. Stand up to the naysayers. Make your voice heard. Don't give them license to continue the assault on women's health and women's autonomy. It's time for women to stand up and say, no more. Here and no further. I've got one last clip from Dayton and Ray St. Chew when they were on my show a few months ago, and I'd like to end with that clip. It's a fantastic message to the community that we care about you. Please come and see us. I do think, Justin, we were talking off-camera, just in the current climate. Really, what we want to say is, we are here. We are not going anywhere. Our doors are open. I like that. And just in this moment in time, when you think of all that's going on politically, we're still thriving. We open in a brand new building. We own it. We're in our community, and we're going to stay here for our community, and we're going to continue to expand. So we're never ever thinking about plan parameters and affiliate and a federation. We're never ever thinking about how we're going to close. We're thinking about how we're going to thrive and continue to grow. I love that. And I think it's really important for people out there to understand that. With all the things that you hear in the news these days about plan parenthood being defunded and all these other things, plan parenthood is not going anywhere. So you guys, you still have those services out there for you. Don't lose heart. Don't lose heart. I don't know what better way to end the show, but to say that very thing, don't lose heart. Get involved. No, you're not alone. I want to thank you for joining me today on Finding Respect in the Chaos. I'm Cynthia Lee Sinclair. This is Think Tech Hawaii. I hope you'll join me next time. Thank you.
