I'm a day brighter, 519, and let's see, if I'm alive, yeah. All right, I think I'm on here now. Every time I get on here, I look like I be confused.   But I wanted to pop on, though, because they ain't slowing down because my son's soccer is over. Soccer season is over. Football season is over. So we're getting ready for summer.  So that's why I was able to get on here with a little energy.  And I already took my shower today. And I don't feel like taking another shower. But this light get me a little brewing. And then the basketball game coming on night, Steph Curry and them versus LeBron James and them. So I'll be trying to catch that. For those y'all didn't know, I started working with the NBA in 2010 as a speaker. And I was a speaker from 2010 to 2016 for the NBA rookie. So all them guys that came in in that time period, I got to meet them and speak to them. And so I keep in touch with a lot of them. So that's why I be into basketball. So now if you have a question, make sure you put hashtag cue, put hashtag cue before it. So I'll see it right here. I've seen this one. Hi Tony, my ex broke no contact today. What do I do? I'm guessing you mean he wrote you? If you're still on no contact, then be on there. You stay on no contact. You don't change that until you ready to change that. Share. Oh, the blessed trial y'all asking about the talks with Tony. Honestly, I just ask y'all, did y'all want me to keep doing the talks with Tony? Because I've been doing them for a little minute now. And I just didn't want nothing to get boring for it to get boring. Because for me, I like reading the letters. And it's interesting to me. But it's only so many answers you could give. Even though the stories are a little different, I think that's what make the answers a little different. But me personally, it fills up to me. I would just do the talks with Tony because that'd make my job easier. Because I just could read the people letter and give an answer versus trying to come up with a topic to talk about. Because honestly, I don't really want to talk. I don't want to talk about what people need me to talk about.  Meaning that's just what I call it. Everything always you got to have work that you could be doing. But if it was up to me, I would never talk about relationships because I'm happily married. And I don't have any begrudges and any ailments with women. So I would never talk about relationships. I would just be on here talking about entrepreneurship and investing and business and stuff like that. But that's not what people know me for or what people need me for. So talks with Tony make it easy for me because I can answer what y'all need me for. And so I just was asked to the blessed tribe that if y'all wanted me to keep doing them. Because my hope and I would love to do them every day. And if Lord give me the time, I'd be having two, three of them going out every day. The way for the people that get like me when I was growing, I'm still growing. But in my real intense growth, I used to put podcasts in my ear. And the whole eight hours at work would be ziggler podcasts. And then sometimes it'd be 10 hours. Sometimes I would go to sleep to it. Working out, no music, listening to podcasts, audio books. So if it was up to me and I had a little more time, then I would have three-fold talks with Tony going out for the people who they just get knowledge. And they don't care about music or reality TV. And while they're working, they just want knowledge plans.  But see, around my schedule, you'll see some days I get three of them up. Some days I get no video up. Some days I get two videos. So it just depends on the schedule with the family. Sarah, God bless you now. Now y'all make sure you put your hashtag Q in there. Do you think it's good to be stopped by a man for a quick combo or exchange number while I have my two children with me? How would that look? It depends on how old your kids are. And if they understand what's going on and if they do understand what's going on, then you got to ask them if they old enough what they think about that. And this man looked like they stepped daddy. And he looked like he could be the one. And your kid is ready for you to have somebody so you can stop bothering them and chasing behind them. Then they might not mind.  If they young and they don't know what this is, then it's not, OK, yeah, 10 or 7, they might not really understand what's going on. They may, but they might think, oh, he got a business.  Or what are you gonna do? He clean up, you see what I mean? They may not fully understand what's going on. So if he looked like that tall glass of water in the desert and it's like, Lord, they stepped daddy that I seen in my dream. That right there, I can see the change in that number and then coming up with a little explanation for the kids. I just can't get a listen. And also, if a man come up to you in front of your two kids, to me, it's he one end of the spectrum or the other. A Ted Bundy nephew or that's your husband.   How do men feel about feisty women? You know, to each their own, to each their own. And it depends on what, you know, and it also depends on what you mean by feisty.    So, but if he give you reason to get feisty, then he already expect that. He already expect that. I'm an introvert and kind of shy around men, not much dating or relationship experience, any advice. Can you do a video on this topic? Introvert and shy around men. The best advice I can give you is to get all the knowledge you can get. Like all of the knowledge about men and relationships that you can get, get that knowledge. Because being shy and introvert, none of that means anything. The key is what do you know? What do you know about men? What do you know about relationships? What do you know about the games, men, play? If you have that knowledge, then nothing else matters. But if you naive and you gullible, that's what matters more than being introverted and shy. Introverted and shy is actually a great thing because a man would rather see you than hear you first, especially when he don't know you. When he get to know you, not he okay hearing you because not he know you. But a loud, obnoxious person, male or female is annoying. You know, an attention seeking person, male or female is annoying. So it's always typically the shy and introverted person that everybody is wondering, who is that person? Why are they so quiet? What's going on in their mind? Let me get to know them. So you gotta keep that in mind. Greatest love, God bless you now. God bless you. Now y'all don't have to send those stickers and all that, those offerings because all your questions in here, now she's just, she's sending a blessing. God bless you and welcome to the new members too. Hello, Tony. I'm just beginning my prayer walk with the Lord. Although I'm not ready to pray aloud yet, I do pray in my head in silence. Well, God hear me this way. Absolutely, God created you.  Some people can't hear, you know.  For me, every breath is a prayer. Every time I breathe, every time I inhale and exhale, that's a prayer to God for grace and mercy. His grace and mercy is sufficient. So you gotta understand it's like God is in you. So yes, when you speak it, it is cemented with you.  Can you share the resource for proof reading? I just completed the birth your book course. I sent in an email to support. If you send an email in to support and it's been three business days and you haven't got a response, then send it in again. It's literally thousands of emails go to support every week. So sometimes they get deleted on accident, accident. Sometimes it get filed in. Sometimes I'm in there being nosy and I open it and then my wife or whoever is in there don't see it because I don't open it and didn't answer it because I opened it at 11 p.m. So just send that in again and we'll send you an email address to a proof reader. Coach Beverly, God bless you. Me and my friend are watching tonight's live together and wanted to just say we appreciate what you do and to keep going. God bless you and I appreciate y'all. God bless you and I. Can you share the resource you use? Okay, that's the same question I just answered. Whitney, Whitney, listen Whitney. All right, you done caught up on the video, you behind on the video, you not watching us live, you watching us behind there. Answer your question Whitney. All right, Whitney, don't put that question in there no more. Come on now. Y'all be doing like the people be doing on the talks with Tony emails. People be sending the same question in 30 times thinking that's gonna make me answer it faster. And I'm like, listen, it's coming in order. I'm gonna get to it, wanna get to it, okay? I was with someone for a few months. He cheated three times and tried counseling. Said he would put his hands on me.  Advice on how to move forward. Just keep going, just keep going. Just block them, block them on every social media outlet, block them on your phone. Don't tell your friends and family, any of them know them. Don't mention his name to you. Don't tell you no messages. Don't tell you what he doing, where they seen him at, block them in every aspect of your life. Ozzie God bless you. I have a crush on a guy that lives in my apartment building. How do I catch his attention? I have seen him in passing a few times, working on the three B's.  So with a lot of times with that, it take, if he's single and available, it's gonna take probably, I say, I'm about to get my bottle off my voice. I say it's gonna take probably three times on average. When him seeing you directly, y'all seeing each other directly, y'all passing each other. It's gonna take that because a lot of time, man is building up courage and he trying to see you, he building up courage. And so understand that. But other than catching his attention, it's nothing really you can do because typically with a man, we see everything. We watch our surroundings very closely. We see everything tall, short, this, that. We see everything. And so always tell women, if you keep seeing a man and he doesn't approach you, that's not your husband. It could mean a whole wide array of things. Typically it's you're not his type. That's what it is. Typically you're not his type. The second thing is he's taken and he's being faithful. And the third thing would be, he liked men's. And so understand that right though.  Area of God bless you.  Much love, you and your family.  Area of God bless you. How do you be certain when you should give up on someone that has gone back to an ex out of hurt slash spite? Do I wait for him if I believe he's the one? No, you absolutely do not wait for him. Because if he's the one, he's not gonna go back to an ex out of hurt slash spite. If he's the one for you. And you should never wait on a human being. All you need to wait on is God. Wait on the Lord. Don't ever wait on man, meaning human beings, meaning mankind. You always never put your life on pause for a human. You always keep moving forward. And if they wanna be in your life, they got to catch up to you. You're on the road to destiny. You can't just sit on the side of the road to destiny. You can't stop in the middle of traffic.  You got to keep going. And you keep going.  Queen heart, God bless your friend, promised to visit in support during the time of bereavement. He called every day, but didn't find time. I found out he went to a friend event instead. Am I wrong for getting upset and not answering his calls till after the funeral? Yeah, you're wrong. Because for one, he's a friend. Two, he got a life. He got stuff he wanna do. And he's not a grief counselor. And three, you can't put so much hope and stock and trust in people. So if a person say that they about to go out there away to do something for you that is not obligated of them, that's not their job or their duty, then you can't get in your feelings about that. That's your friend, that's not your husband. You know, that's not your boyfriend, that's your friend.  You know, it come down to it, it's like, okay.  What is your advice on meeting men on social media? Have a public account, have a public account and be active. So the day I worked out, if I was a single woman, I would have posted, you know, a photo workout or after the workout or posted a little snippet from the workout. Then I had me some curd chicken and dumpling. If I was Jamaican or trying to be Jamaican as a single woman, I would have posted that curd chicken and Jamaican. I mean, dumpling. Then I had my protein shape, you know, I would have put that in my story.    So if you get ready to go out, then that's an outfit of the day post.    Good night, buddy. Love you, my older boy. Reeves, God bless you. He's long distance, but in ministry and education. And it's only been a month of talking every day via text, call, or both. Play video games too. Haven't seen each other yet. Am I wasting my time? No, no, you're not wasting your time because you got a good job. Ministry and education, that's a good start. Ain't nothing wrong with video games unless he addicted to them and he playing them like four hours a day and he don't have a career in it. Like if he playing four hours a day and he getting tournaments and making money, that's a job, you know, that's a little side gig. Now, if he just on there cause he got gamer brain and he addicted to the game, that could be a little bit of a red flag, but, you know, if it's excessive. And y'all talk every day. It's been a month. So no, you ain't wasting your time. Typically when you dating somebody, if there's no real blatant red flags, you got about three months of that trial period. And then at that three month mark, that's when you make your decision if you're gonna promote, demote, or terminate. Only one, God bless you. My husband and I are going through a divorce after 30 years. He is constantly telling our adult children details of our divorce. Not cool by and by of our children. I don't know, I really don't know. You got an immature husband. You got an immature husband and he want them on his side. But this is the thing. The best parent is transparent. So it's three sides to the story. His side, your side, and the truth. So if he gonna tell his side, you best believe the kid's listening. So you need to tell your side too.   And just, oh, he telling them stuff about the divorce. I ain't gonna say nothing. I'm not finna be childish.  But that's a prime example. 30 years, y'all should be riding off into the sunset absolutely happy. And that's what I talk to y'all about is a lot of times 30 year marriages, the marriage was over, 30 year divorce, the marriage was over year two. And that's why I be telling y'all who y'all in these relationships five, six years and you still not married or you still butt heads, it's this dead end situation, seven, eight, nine, 10 years, those are the relationships that turn into that divorce after 30 years because in a relationship it's two adults and so you should hit a stride. Around year two, year three, you should hit a stride to where it's copa steady. It's smooth sailing because it's a mutual respect. Like me and my wife, our issues are so small.  So what that let me know is, okay, I need to make sure I keep brushing my teeth morning and night, but during the day I need to be drinking me some water, make sure the tongue right, so that when I go to kissing, I ain't got no hint on my mouth, you know, and I'm ruining my situation. So since she didn't ask me that, I didn't kiss the two or three times and she asked me that earlier today. And I just told her, be careful now. Be careful now, because you like that kissing now and listen, I ain't got all the scruff to be around here all the time now. But that's something like that. It ain't, can you stop DMing women? Can you stop having women call your phone 11 o'clock at night? Can you stop talking to your ex? Can you stop talking to this woman you go to work with? It ain't none of that.  And mind you not, we have a affectionate relationship, but she just want her some more. You see what I mean? And then for me on my side, it's like, hey baby, I need you to stop doing all this hollering at this game, at this soccer game now.  Let the boy fail. Let the boy make mistakes.  And that's what I tell her. She don't be listening to me.  Louder than the coach? No, I'm not finna divorce her for that. I just got to understand that's her personality. Cause when her daddy come to his game, her dad is the same way, but it ain't a deal breaker. So that's what I mean in your relationship, round year, two, three, four, at the latest year is year five, you need to hit a strive to where it's smooth sailing.  If you still tumultuous five years, six years, seven years in, you're in a dead end relationship and you need to cut it. Branded God bless you. Now, how it's on the side from working on all three Bs, how can a woman prevent the attention of grown men? If men are good at reading women, why do they attempt to go for those that are not at their level? You can't prevent the attention of grown boys. I know what you meant. And to a man, every woman at his level, because everybody want a prize. You don't go into the restaurant and say, hey, can you give me your leftovers from yesterday? You go into the restaurant and you want the finest, freshest food you could get.   So they gonna always approach you. Flies go to booboo and flies go to sugar.  You just got to know the red flags. So when you had that first conversation and that first date, you recognize the red flags. That's what you got to be on. Praise the Lord God bless you. Hi Tony, I quit my job and start my mobile notary business and vending machine business. But I am very nervous to quit my job. I want to quit my job. Okay, I had to read that again. Now, I don't quit your job, sister. I would love to get into real estate.  Listen to my book. It's called A Dream Chaser. Listen to The Dream Chaser. And I talk to you about balancing the dream and the job until the dream becomes the job. It's on Audible. If you wanna listen to it or you could order it off BarnesandNova.com or amazon.com and read the heart back. But don't quit your job. But you own the sum though, that mobile notary business. If you off saturday and sunday, that's when you do your mobile notary. Your vending machine business, it really ain't no money in vending machine business.   You see what I mean? It'll take you a whole year just to make your $3,500 back from the nice vending machine. And then the people that you put it, where you put it at, they want them a percentage of it.  So that vending machine, I looked into ATM business, vending machine business, I looked into it and after I did the math, I said, no, no, these people on YouTube line trying to make it look good. No, no, go ahead. Y'all doing that for views on YouTube. There ain't no money in that. Ain't no real money in that system. Now that movin' notary, you know, that could pick on up. That could pick up. People need that. Jack on the guard, bless you now. Hey, now y'all sendin' two million of them colorful ones in. Now I'm tryin' to get back to the chat now. People luggin' in the VIP line. Wow. Donnetta God bless ya. A guy datin' in high school 15 years ago wants to give us a try as an adult. He has five young kids, three baby mommas and no formal custody. No formal custody slash visitation set up with them. He says he is ready to grow and handle his business as a man. Yes or no? Move it, God bless you. Don't do me like that, don't help Donnetta. Don't come and help me in disrespect for Donnetta. Come on now. You gotta respect my time better than that now. Come on now, Donnetta. And if I was you, I wouldn't touch that man with a hundred foot pole. You hear me? That man see you doin' good in your life. That man see you eatin' crowdlegs on your Facebook. That man see you got you a nice Toyota Camry. See you got you a, you gainfully employed. You got $20 the waste on him. You wastin' $20 on him and it ain't benefiting him. It ain't got nothing to do with him. So the whole, that's a date right there. That's a movin', that's a movin' ticket that you spent on him. And he, listen, that man right there, if that man wrote me, if I was you and that man wrote me, I'd delete my whole Facebook. I got to go. Facebook, that, delete. I'd delete my whole Facebook. Listen, absolutely, sis. If you entertain that, come on now. If you entertain that, come on now, sister. Come on now. Tiffin' the beat, God bless you.  Don't go back. He doesn't want you. Can you clarify if that includes him sabotage the relationship to make you leave him? Same thing. Do you recommend second chance? If he sabotages the relationship to make you leave him, now you gotta understand now sabotage, if you mean intentionally trying to disrespect you and he knows what he's doing is absolutely wrong.  Now, if he is unlearned because he was raised by savages and he was raised so cold that he doesn't know how to be warm and he needs you to teach him how to love like music soul child, then in that case, and if you have to leave him within one year due to a forgivable offense, then yes, you can consider a second chance. If it's a forgivable offense, you see what I mean? And when I say forgivable, meaning you can forgive and forget. Meaning you can forgive him and not want to keep reminding him of the offense. Like you could throw it into the sea of forgetfulness because it wasn't that big of a deal.  Go on about your bed now.  So it doesn't mean you have to do that now. Oh, brother, I don't know. God bless you now. Tee the origin, bless you. I've been watching your videos for a little over a year now and read four of your books. I can watch talks with Tony, feeling compassion for others and get a laugh thanking God for healing. Thank you so much. Hey, God bless you now. God bless you. That's a good place to be and in your life. How to co-parent after my son's girlfriend at the time spit in my face after I came to his whereabouts to get help. He left her afterwards but went and married her a few weeks later. Child, six months, since you gonna need a session. That's a little too deep for the Q and A now. That's a little too deep for the Q and A. And the one that's spit in your face? You got a great spirit. You got a great spirit. Because I'd be riding you from the prison cell if somebody spit in my face.  That's my thing. Cause I don't trust that now cause you a different type of person to spit in somebody's face. Now I'm not me a man, but I'm not finna hope no loogie and spit in nobody's face.  That type of person I wouldn't have my child nowhere near that type of vile human being. And so that right there, if I was you he'll have to, he'll have to take me to court for visitation. And it'll have to be we meeting at the park. Yeah, you could bring her a little musty sorry, but she can sit over there on that bench, on that park bench, but my child ain't going to your house with that demon. That's how I be. Judge, okay, say what you wanna say, 50, 50, 60, 40, 70, 30, all right, yeah. Uh huh, judge, yeah.  That's your me though.  Okay, God bless you. Now, how should a woman deal with men who talk about, um, I ain't alone in other types of sirred toxic stuff.  You are always so unbothered. Please give some advice. Um, y'all, now where is this here PLN at? Cause is that Palestine, what that Filipino? Cause if he talking about war, I'm not too sure I want to speak on him, sister. Cause listen, I don't want him coming for me. Yeah, yeah, I ain't, I ain't scared of now American, but these men from other countries, they move different. So I don't know where PLN is at and how the men move, but go on about your business, sister. Go on about your business. Y'all be something, nah, come, nah. This other thing, y'all ask me a practical question. Y'all be, nah, Tony, what do I do if he chew with, he chew his gum on the left teeth and then he chew it on the right teeth? Like what do I do in a situation like that? Cause this thing is just blowing me. Why he chew on the left tooth and then the right teeth? And then one more thing, Tony, now listen, and we sit down, he make his big toe just do like this. Like what do I do in that situation? That's how some of the time y'all be asking me questions and it's like, you see what I'm saying? Like we gotta be everything on how to answer. You see what I mean? Everything on how to answer. So I'd be starting to think y'all trollin' me.  So then you definitely get your distance.  Now you're gonna add another month of harassment. Make sure you put a hashtag Q in front of your question. Some of y'all knew. Put hashtag Q in front of your question so I could easily identify. Hey, Tony, how do you manage multiple businesses? I would love to add another stream, but want to move wisely. It is tiring and it could be time consuming, but what I do is I give my days direction. Right now, my mentor.life, it kind of runs itself. And we got a staff that kind of handles the inbox and stuff like that. And then my writing, I'm not writing a book right now. And then Yaskin Productions, that's a, we producing, but the production company is producing. I'm just cutting the check for the project that they're producing, film, like TV situation. The other tech projects that I've created, they run their self. And so, because the work is already done. So what I try to do is create businesses that pretty much run themselves. We don't have to be too hands-on.  So if it's gonna take you eight hours to run a business, all you got time for is one business. But if you could get this week's work done in two to four hours, then you could spend two hours on one business, spend two hours on another business, two hours on another business, two hours on another business, that's an eight hour work day. But you compartmentalize them. And so that's what I did when I had to be hands-on. I just give my days direction and I just break it down. Okay, I'm writing right here. I'm doing social media right here. I'm doing marketing right here, like that. Level up with the keys of God bless you. If I was making my man feel low and he cheated as a result, so he say, is it possible for it to work if we both decided to forgive each other? Anything is possible. You know, anything is possible except for the devil getting in the heaven. But anything is possible. But you gotta really evaluate if you was really making him feel low. Now, if you know you were taking shots of his ego and you know you was trying to hurt him and you know you was being nasty, then he got a point.  And so because even if for a man, if you making a man feel low, he ought to just leave you, not cheat on you because that's weak to cheat on somebody because of how they make us feel. And then how about, oh, we wanna make it work because what that sound like to me is he not accepting responsibility for his immaturity and for his ignorance and for his bad choice. But instead he trying to do the Jedi mind trick and use manipulation by guilt. As Dr. Gary Chapman says in the five love languages, manipulation by guilt, where he trying to make you feel guilty to manipulate you into believing it was your fault he chose to go cheat with somebody else. When that could have been nothing that you had to do with that. And so understanding that right there, first that he need to accept that he ignorant in childhoods for cheating. And then, and you can't just be accepting all that right there because unless you know you actually did that. And then now, if that's not the way and y'all both agree to forgive and forget and y'all can move on and both of y'all gonna do the work, then yeah, you can get it right. No trolling, Tony. We love your content. The question was about insecure, weird men. Thank you for everything you do. PLN was from Poland. Okay, over there in Poland. It sound like you on that dating app. Now the lady just wrote me the other day from Poland that was on Tinder. All right. So it sound like you on that dating app. Somebody said I missed a super chat. Well, the reason why I said that one no super chat, that go, no, that was super chat, but it go in the chat. And so with the rest of the chat going, those right there go up. So when you come in here with that great value chat, you know, that right there don't come to the top where I can see it.  So, you know, you got to understand that because you too don't really value it. So they don't show it to me. So as soon as you write it, all these other questions, it push it right on up. So understand that now how to set boundaries when getting cornered by a man. And another thing which I've got to understand, just cause you sent in one of these monetary thing, just not a paid live. You don't have to send those in. So don't send in no paid thing for a answer. If you send that in, let that be from your heart because you saying, here you go, bless you because I'm not working, I'm not charging to answer questions. I'm not working to answer questions in on paid questions. So don't, cause I don't own answer questions for $2.99, $2.99, you see what I'm saying? My time is priceless. So when I'm doing this, it's a gift from my heart to do this. So don't send nothing in and think that this got to be answered, this is work. That ain't what I'm doing it for. This is a free chat. This is a free chat where all your questions could go in the chat. So if you sense a donation and it get missed, understand that it's because of the amount of questions that's coming in here and that's what this is for. A free Q and A for the blessed tribe because some of y'all could be sending in the questions, paying and not even in the blessed tribe and I'm answering people that's not in the blessed tribe question and missing people question that's in the blessed tribe. So understand that. I know a lot of people come on YouTube, get the likes up, get the likes up. Hey, hit the like, hit the like, hit the like. Hey, send a whole chat in, send a sticker in, send a sticker in. Hey, hit on my cash out. Y'all came find my cash out, I don't post my cash out. This is a young lady, Caramel Kisses, I don't even think she in here. She got my cash out and she be posting that for me. She don't work for me, she not paying for me. I don't ask for donations. I don't ask for donations, you don't see my cash out nowhere on my channel. Somebody wrote in to support and said, I'm looking for Tony cash out. I don't see it anywhere posted on his YouTube. And then she said something. She say that also says something about your character. And that's why I be trying to tell y'all is, today we can't even tell the real from the fake. We can't tell the servants from the savages and the scavengers. We can't even tell the difference. We don't even pay attention to it. Like a lot of y'all don't even realize, you never pay attention that I don't ever ask you to like or and subscribe. That while I'm doing a live, I don't say hit the like, I don't do that because I'm here to serve. And that's why I need y'all to understand. And I never ask for donations.  So I want y'all to understand that when y'all writing in, okay? Now let me get to Latia thing. How to set boundaries when getting cornered by men. Call the police, call the police. If you feel cornered, cornered, that's a sense of danger. So if you feeling cornered, call the police. If it's just something to where a man keep calling you, then block his phone number, block him on social media. But if a man stalking you, call the police. If a man won't leave you alone, call the police. I had a client today. She say her ex-man showed up out of nowhere without her permission. She say she called the police. She put the police on speakerphone. He took off. And so I say, look at that, that's strength right there. Natalie, God bless you. Now my ex-boyfriend doesn't want to have a Christ centered relationship and says he's not ready for a full blown relationship with me. I tell him it's all or nothing after three years. He said, I can't pressure him. Stuck, no, you know you're not stuck. Go on about your business. What you stuck for? That's your ex-boyfriend. That's an ex for a reason.  Now you gotta ask her, are you stuck on stupid?   Don't do that. You're not stuck.  He not holding you hostage. He just sees that you gullible and you naive and that you're not loving yourself and he sees that he could play his card and get over on you. You can't let him do that. Don't ever let somebody like the lady say corner you and how you stuck when you got led to walk away. Go on about your business. My boyfriend hasn't been intimate with me for almost two years. Says we have two kids and don't need to be having aunt. He is an affectionate towards me and I constantly find him talking to exes. I moved out. I did good. Yeah, you did good. You did good, but listen. Don't ever beg nobody to sleep with you because that could be God saving you.  So that's one thing about when I was out there in that world and I was trying to get me some if somebody ain't want nothing and somebody ain't want, I wouldn't fit in the bag. I want to fit in the chase. I want to do none of that. Cause I say, you know what? This person trying to save my life probably round here with that heel and try not to give cause that HIV is round here now and they out here with that heel and try not to give. So listen, I don't question nobody. You hear me? Uh-uh. Don't be out here begging for nothing cause you'll be asking for a death sentence.  Tiffany God bless you. Thank you for being a blessing.

Let me see. Colleen God bless you. How do I answer a man's question? If he asks me if I have a lot of friends or to bring a girlfriend on a double date I don't have that right now. Just tell him you ain't got that right now.  You ain't got to say it in another language. You ain't got to try to put it in code. You know, a lot of times ladies ask me how to say this to a man? How to say that to a man? Uh, just say it. Just say it. You talking to a human being. I don't have lady friends right now. You know, I'm in a different season of my life and we just not on the same page and see love God bless you. I hadn't caught alive in a while.

He said the same thing two times. Now you need to hit submit twice. Lord bless you. I was a God bless you with a guy approach you. If you are not looking your best each time you see him. Seeing him a few times in passing at our apartment building. Now I was gonna ask this question again that she asked earlier. And the answer is yes. A guy will approach you. Honestly, men really want to see a woman in her bare essence. So a man really wants to see a woman when you're out and about. A man really is more attracted to women who make up is natural or no makeup. And her look is as close as she would look to going to bed. And as close as she would look to waking up. Because one of the greatest fears that we have as men is that we approach Janet Jackson and then get in relationship with Freda Jackson. That's one of a man's greatest fears. So a man really, and I've had several clients tell me that they get approached by more men when they in sweats. When they in a sweatsuit, then when they in a heels, when they dress on. And the reason being is because for one the more relaxed your outfit are the less the more approachable you appear.  She's doing something.  So let me stay out of the way. She tied up. Can you go back to question of time nine, 16? Denise, I don't have a time on my, I don't have time on my side. So I don't, I don't know what question of nine, 16 is. If it was your question then, you know, copy and paste it. So I could see it, but I don't have, I don't have time on mine. My child's father constantly in and out of our life after going ghost on us for two weeks during New Year's he came to me with forex opportunity and got mad because I didn't want to join distance again. God bless you. Let him be gone. Let him stay gone. Let him stay gone. Let him stay gone. Um, Debbie Bay, God bless you. He wants to marry after three months. He's back overseas. I don't know when we'll see each other again due to jobs. We FaceTime every day. He's 38, I'm 27. He doesn't like garlic and onions. I do. He's Catholic. I'm not, but we love each other. Should we continue or not? For one man, he don't love you because it's impossible for a man to fall in love in three months. Men heart not even built like that. You got to understand what a man does in this world. Men literally on the front line, in the streets, taking lives and in a foreign country, in another country, taking the lives of strangers. So what you got to understand is a person that's built like that can't fall in love in three months. It take a good man, a good man, two years to fall in love. A good man, a average man, the man that they call simps, the man like me, that they call simps and that they call beta males. It take us two years to fall in love. You got a man in a whole other country. He want to get married for a green card and what that sound like. Or you could be a steal. He ain't in love, but you could look like a steal.  That's 11 years different. You, PYT, pretty young thing. Tenderoni. So to him, that could be like, man, let me lock this thing in quick. Cause high in the world, I get a woman that's 11 years younger than me. You see what I mean? So pump your brakes, sister. Pump your brakes. You fantasizing. You fall in in love with the idea of love, but you ain't got love. Not in no three months. How can I connect with a man on an emotional level while dating? Conversation. They say conversation ruler nation. So when you, when you dating a man, what you got to do is, let me see how I could turn this here top chat off.  I try to see how I could turn off them, pay questions, but I don't know what button to hit. I'll be the turn off the whole line. Listen, when you dating a man, what you got to do is you have to, and this go both ways if men watch this. What you have to do is just ask questions like you Oprah doing one of her interviews, how she be on them interviews and she be getting people to tell all their business to millions of people. That's how you got, you got to ask questions like, this is the most interesting person in the world. And you just let the person talk, talk, talk. And when you let the person talk, now what happens is they start to fall in love. The more this person express themselves, the more they fall in love. And so that's what you got to understand. And that's how you connect on a emotional, mental, spiritual level. And that's how, and that's also building on, that's also building a foundation of friendship. How to start dating again after seven years celibate and single, have a 10 year old working on three B's relationship with the Lord and using my gift slash purpose should I wait a little longer to even try? Thank you for all you do. You shouldn't have to try period. So when it's time to date, men will start approaching you. When you ready, when your three B's in order, brain, brand, body, men will start approaching you. And so you won't even have to try.   And when your three B's in order, you're gonna have a glow and a aura about you that men gonna approach you.  Now I'm gonna turn into a chat off now. So y'all gonna turn into a chat off because we wrapping on up. And see, this is what I want y'all to understand now. You cannot make life and especially relationships rocket science because it's not rocket science.  And in your life, you have to have non-negotiables. Like if you don't feel good, if you don't feel comfortable with a situation, don't do it. If the situation does not serve you and make you better, just like you would serve and make somebody better with your presence and your energy and your efforts, they should be doing the same. If you have to settle, it's different between settling and compromising. So I'm compromising being with an introverted extrovert. And meaning my wife, that is a compromise. I'm not settling because she's not less than, she's not unworthy. It's not a deal breaker. Now, if my wife smoked and if my wife got drunk and then my wife cursed and if my wife believed in having more than one partner, then I would be settling. If she was physically, verbally, emotionally, then I would be settling. I compromise because what I'm compromising is not a deal breaker. So her being loud at the soccer game, that's not a deal breaker because at the end of the day, still she respects me and she's not disrespectful. So when you look at any relationship situation, a healthy compromise, something that is not against your morals, your values, your standards, not your preferences. See, a preference is me being five, 10, I might call myself five, 11. I might be five, 11. I'm six, four now that I'm married and happy, but biologically I'm five, 10. So my preference would be a five, four woman because it'll make me feel like more of a man. My wife, five, eight. So when she put on heels, what's up, little brother? Her arm up here on my shoulder. She looking at the crown of my head when she put on heels. So I compromise a preference. My preference was me being in the South, a woman with old caboose. My wife, body built different. So that's a healthy compromise because it's a preference. But see my standards, I don't curse. I don't get drunk. I don't smoke. I'm not, I don't believe in cheating in a marriage or having more than one partner. Those are my standards. I'm a Christian. I serve God. Those are my standards. So I can compromise my standards, but I compromise some of my preferences. My preferences, the things that I had this idea. And then guess what? She did the same thing. Our standards are the same. I'm an introvert. I'm very quiet. When we go to a party, family get together. I'm a wallflower. I don't wanna go out on the thing and dance. Now I would dance at home with her, dirty wine, slow wine, everything. But in public, I don't want nobody seeing me vulnerable. I don't want nobody seeing me dancing. I'm not Chris Brown. So she compromised that because that's not my personality. She compromised that preference.  She wanna get on the dance floor and dance non-stop, but she don't make me go dance with her. She compromised that. I'm quiet. When we round people, I don't say nothing. I'm actually very quiet and shy. I do this because it's my purpose. So I receive the strength of the Lord to do this. But anywhere we go and you ask anybody that know me, when I'm round people, I'm quiet. I speak when spoken to. And I don't answer too long either. And I don't like being bothered. I don't like talking to nobody. None of that. She compromised that. So this is what I want y'all to understand. It's a difference between your standards and your preferences. And so in any situation you go into in a relationship to where you are compromising your standards, then you losing. And that's when you need to leave. That's when you got to leave. But if it's okay, you want a man six foot and he coming in at five, nine, that's a healthy compromise. If he's a good man with good character. Okay, you want somebody that makes 75,000 a year, but they at 50,000 a year, but they got room to grow. They still gonna be climbing the ladder. That's a healthy compromise. Now you don't want somebody that smoke because of what it'll do to your lungs and due to your health, secondhand smoke. If you get with somebody that smoke, now you're compromising a standard. And that's when you messing up. So you got to look at what you're doing in these relationships and you have to understand that life will give you what you demand of it. Life will give you what you command of it. So if anything you settle for it, that's all you're gonna get. So when I was 25 years old, I said, listen, I wanna make six figures a year. I did not know how I would earn six figures a year, but by the age of 28, I was earning six figures a year and not just six figures, I earned 150,000 by the age of 28, because that's what I said. So when I said that, my mind started to dream and to plan and to try to conspire to get it. Then when I got there, I said, hey, I wanna earn seven figures a year. I didn't know how I would get from 100,000 to 1 million, but I did it and not just 1 million, I crossed 1 million, but it was because I said it. So my mind started to think of ideas and what I could create and what I could do to get there. And then I say, I wanna work from home and make seven figures. So I don't have to go anywhere to earn any money. I was speaking engagements coming in, retreat offers coming in, and I turned down all of them because I just don't feel like going. You see what I'm saying? But I said, this is what I want from my life and that's what I got. So my wife used to have a quote in her bio and I don't know if it's still there, but it said, I want it all.  And I said, what you mean by you want it all? She said, I want good kids, I want a faithful husband, a good marriage, and I want a good life. Like, I don't wanna have to compromise and have amazing kids, but I got a terrible marriage or have an amazing marriage, but my kids just spoiled rotten and doing bad in school. She was like, I want it all. And guess what? That's what she got. Her son's got straight A's, her husband faithful, our life is comfortable, but it's what you say you want. And what I see the most, and it's the saddest thing in the world, and it's the only reason why I stay in the trenches. It's the only reason why I keep doing this work that I'm doing is because God has no respect to persons meaning that he don't love Tony Gaskins and Cherie Gaskins more than he love Latoya Williams or Brian Johnson. So God want everybody to be blessed, but according to your faith, be it unto you, such as you think so you will be. You see what I mean? So it's what you have the faith to believe you will receive. But if you are okay settling for less and you don't believe that you can have more then your mind will never configure a plan to have more. And so what I see the most is women writing me and settling in situations. Cause this is what you got to understand is I was a toxic controlling abusive boyfriend. I was a drug dealer. I was a thief. I was arrested. I went to jail in the ninth grade. I was trafficking cross state lines. But when I met my wife and we had a conversation and we talk and she heard me talk and she heard wisdom from God and she heard my vision. She say, that's who you're gonna have to be in order to be with me.  So I tried to test her with little stuff and she left me. Boom. She left me even after she had given me her body. And I thought, oh, this is the type of woman. She's so classy.   No, she ain't wanna run her body count up. But guess what?  So she left me endating. She left me because I wasn't being the man that I showed her I could be. And so she left me once endating. And then we got back together six months later and then we got married 10 months after that. And then two months into our marriage, I went back to the streets to start selling drugs again.  And she left me in marriage. She would go on three days, I would beg and plead and call her. She answered my call and she say, listen, our son was in intensive care unit. He was born two and a half months early. She said, I'm gonna give you one more chance. So she gave me another chance. She wouldn't just cut throat to the point. And it wasn't something that where I had to like beat on her or cheat on her. It was me going to the streets. So it was like what you would call a victimless offense. It wasn't necessarily directly against her. It was me trying to get money. And so she understood that. Now had I cheated on her and that got thrown in her face, she would have disappeared. Had I put hands on her, she would have disappeared. But I went back to the streets. And that's when she said, can you get old streets up? And when I say, yeah, I get a streets up.  And so she did not settle because she said, you know what man, we need the money, our son in intensive care, you own it. Like just go ahead, just do it. You better not get caught. Had she compromised, I would have stayed in the streets and I would either went to prison for murder or I would have lost my life or I would have got caught. But she left me and say, I'm not gonna be here. That's what you're gonna do. And that's what I'd be trying to tell people that that's why we wrote the book, A Woman's Influence because it was her refusing to settle for who I thought I wanted to be. And her being willing to leave that forced me to grow. I didn't just grow for me. I didn't just grow for God. I grew for my wife and my son because she refused to settle.  And so many women letting them do it. You letting him do what he wanna do. You letting him run in and out your life multiple times. My wife gave me a second chance in dating and she gave me a second chance in marriage. And she didn't have to give me no more chances than that. And we got married quickly. I ain't waste her time. We were together a total of like a year and maybe a year and a month before we was married and I was 21 when I met her. You see what I'm saying? And that's what I mean. And it's so many women with grown men, grown men in their 30s, late 20s, 30s, 40s, and y'all allowing people to date you for five, six, seven years.  When it's real love, I hear happening. When you could be happy, married, favored from God, flourishing and you dealing with a liar, a cheater, a manipulator, a deceiver because you feel worthless and you feel that there's nothing better out there for you and that you can't heal and that you can't grow and that you can't move forward. And that's the biggest mistake you can make. Listen, stop settling in life. Stop settling in life. I'm telling you, I done tapped in. I'm telling you, I done tapped in. I say, I wanna be a millionaire. I became a millionaire. I say, I wanna be married from the age of 16. I say, I wanna be married. I became, I got married by 23. I say, I wanna learn how to be faithful to one woman. I learn how to be faithful to one woman. I say, I wanna work from home and still make seven figures. I work from home and make seven figures. I wanna travel the world. I want my kids to have a best school, have a good life, make good grades. All of that is in play. All of that in play.  But guess what? I got a boxing trainer. I got a basketball trainer. I got a weightlifting trainer. You feel what I'm saying? So the day I pull that shirt up, like that sweat off, up, they go two, is that two outs? Is that a couple of reals, I can see? Okay, got on the scale, 70 pounds down. You see what I'm saying? Now I'm finna go get that, because that's what I want. You probably ain't gonna get to see it, but I'm finna have it up under this shirt because I want it. You see what I'm saying? And so, stop selling. And it's like, I wish I could get people to understand this. When I said I'm gonna make six figures a year, I was making $20,000 a year. How in the world I'm finna make 80,000? Where does finna come from? When I said I wanna make seven figures a year, I think I was at 150,000. And then I went to 250, 350, then I went to 500, and I was at 500,000 a year for years. And then when I said a thing came, a year came, and I said I wanna make $750,000 this year. And I, listen, when you say what you want, you don't have a plan for it. You don't know how you're gonna do it. You don't know how you're gonna get there. But the fact that you said it, the way the mind is created, is when you give it a task, it comes up with a plan. When you present a problem, it comes up with a solution. So if you want happy love life, if you want a better career life, if you wanna earn more money, if you want a better body, you have to say that, and then you got to go towards it and stop settling. Hey, this Tony Gaston, I went over, what I went over, 15 minutes, man, I went to preaching on here. Y'all forgive me now. I'm passionate about this thing. I wish I could do a whole seminar, but see now this is the thing, with these seminars, the world getting ready to open back up and they calming down on the mask and all that. And I wanna do some seminars, but I'm gonna tell you what the issue is. The issue is throughout this hill situation where everybody was home, I was doing these hill videos and from this knowledge, it's been some situation where people waking up and they leaving these talks of relationship. So now, y'all baby daddy and y'all boyfriend is sending me threats in DM and see not me the type, me on the type, if he wanna jump frog it, I'm gonna be a lily pad. You see what I'm saying? Now, I'm finna let him land. But what I mean now, on his bike. And so what I'm also trying to do is stay out of prison.  And I don't wanna have to take nobody life over me living my purpose. So that's an honest to God consideration. And that's what I told my wife today cause the company wrote me about doing a retreat in Bali. I'm like, baby, I'm kinda thinking about doing this retreat in Bali because I really don't wanna be moving like that in the States because I'm getting threats and stuff from guys and me and my people. We be, you know what I'm saying? I told y'all transition from a different lifestyle that I went to when I became an adult trying to, and so it's certain situation to where, you see what I'm saying? And so I have to be mindful and I have to do risk assessment. And I got to look at, okay, if I go to this hill city, this hill city, some pop off, am I gonna have to do harm to somebody?  We keep it on us. And so I have to think about that because that's how to double this spiritual warfare and that's how to double or try to set you up. Double try to set you up. And so, and it's real life and a lot of people don't realize that I don't have security since 2010. And I want no big, you know, I'm not a celebrity and I never was. And people be like, why you got security? Why you got security? I say, listen, the most dangerous thing in the world is an insecure man because he deranged and he crazy. And if a woman leave her man because she got new knowledge and she didn't got the game and he find out that you the one gave it to him. And I thought about that because I was a grown boy. If when I was a grown boy, if a woman left me because of the message of another man and I was in them streets and I was with that, that man may have some problems. So I understand that side of things because I was out there.  So that's what a lot of folks don't understand like in the work that I'm in but that's why I'm kind of in this by myself. That's why it's only a handful of men that do what I do because it is breaking the man law. But the reason why I break the man law is because this is what God called me to. The reason why I give away the game and the reason why I hold men accountable is because of the fact that it's breaking down. The man law is destroying our homes. It's destroying our women. It's destroying our families. We got so many single moms because of the man code because of the man law. We got a lot of abuse. We got a lot of teenage pregnancy.   And it breaks down the home and it ends up hurting the children. And this is what God called me to. But when you up in what the devil is doing, he gonna get mad and try to show his fangs. But see the sword of the Lord is so righteous.  And so what happened for me is I had to protect myself and that's why I got to move different because you never know who the devil got deranged. And he mad because he is a narcissist or he crazy. I only use that word. I'm using it for y'all because that's y'all favorite word, narcissist.  I don't wanna get into no altercation with no man to where it could cause somebody because that's no different than me being in the streets and leaving the streets.  And then she heard my message that say don't settle and she decided to break up. And then now he mad with me like it's my fault instead of looking at himself in the mirror.  Your grandma was cheated on by your granddaddy and nobody found out until the funeral that he had two other families in the same city. And that's the problem with y'all women today is y'all not like y'all grandma. That's what it's men out here telling women that is men out here saying that to women.  Let this man cheat. Let this man, you know, because he a man and men wanna say, oh, he cheated because he a man. That's not manhood. That's boyhood.   You're not no good man. If you manipulating deceiving and taking advantage of your woman, that's not manhood. That's boyhood. That's a, that's a temper tantrum. That's immaturity. And that's what we not really getting to.   And I got mentees on both teams. So, I try to keep him, you know, keep up with him so that I could shoot him a little message after the game. So I don't wanna miss this one here. Hey, so God bless y'all. God bless you. And I had turned off the chat, so y'all forgive me. But God bless you and we'll be in touch.


Welcome, folks. We had the Dow investors finish down $149, Nasdaq off 18 S&Ps down three. Gold. Gold contract down $1.80, trading at $15.58 an ounce. Silver. Silver down 26 cents, $17.81 an ounce. Light sweet crude. Flat. $58.34 a barrel. Story out here today, folks. Notes and bonds. Let's continue to be higher price, lower yield, 10-year note, up 17 ticks, $129.18, 30-year bond, up one full point plus 10 ticks at $158.19. They both had volume behind the move. We take a look at this, what you're going to see out here. These things want to go up. You did 1.5 million contracts. That's good contract volume inside the 10. We got to 130.06 on the 8th of January. That's when the bond market, as well as the metals and the currencies, had gone one way, reversed intraday, went the other way. But what you had here is that you did have a higher high inside the note and bond market. You had volume behind the move. When you get that happening, bottom line wants to go right back up to that level. This looks to me that, number one, you broke the downtrend that has been in place inside the bond market since going back to October. We broke that downtrend January 1st, basically. Now you had to sign a strength. You got another sign of strength out here today. This note and bond market wants to go back to the 131.17 number. It's a big number. Right now we're at 1.76 inside the 10-year. King dollar out here, bottom line. You know, we'll see what gets lower in price, 97.601 today. If you do go take a look at the major indices, what you're going to see inside the major indices is that the major indices out here tested their highs out here and wasn't been able to sustain the highs, did have lighter volume. Netflix. Netflix just come out with numbers out here. Netflix closed at 388. That's trading at 340. Let's see what they have to say with the top line coming across. Let me see this. So the consensus was $1.19. They came out with $1.66. That's pretty good. That's the first quarter coming in. They added 8.76 million subscribers. And Netflix's case too, by the way, the market was expecting a 23-point move either up or down. And right now you got a flat market. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit us here. See you tomorrow morning. Tom's got a great new show. Morning Market Kickoff 8.30, right here at TFNN.


Hello everyone, I hope you had the chance to go through the last classes that I discussed many aspects of oxidation reactions. So today we will have briefly, first we will go through the few points of the last classes. For example, what we did was selenium dioxide based oxidations here and then we also did the sulfoxide sulfonate rearrangements. Also we did in the case of selenium dioxide based oxidations, conversion of ketones to diketones and also oxidation at the allylic position to go to ally hydroxy group. Then we also did the Sygoosa eto oxidation where enol silyl ether was converted to the corresponding enone. Now let us go to another topic today is that 1-2 keto transposition. What we discussed in say earlier conversions using selenium dioxide was, conversion of a ketone to a diketone. However, other possibility and other requirement that happens in cases of many synthetic transformations is how are we going to convert a ketone which is already present say here to the next position which is here. Now this is something very important and this is important mainly because what happens is in many of the transformations that are required is conversion of one keto position to the next keto position. For example, in this case if one takes an example of this kind and if one wants to carry out some transformations at say this position, one possibility of course is directly you can functionalize this carbonyl group. But if one wants to utilize both these car hydrogens here therefore, we need to convert this carbonyl group here to the next position here. Now once that is done, then you now have two possibilities. One of course is the functionalization at this center now and the other is also at this center. Now that you have a choice. So if somehow you can make this molecule, if somehow you have arrived at this molecule and if you want to convert the carbonyl group from this position to the next position, then what are the ways? So this is just a hypothetical example which I have shown. Similarly, there is another example like this where if you have blocked this particular position of the alpha position of the carbonyl group, then we can convert this ketone to the next carbon atom and once that is done, then one can also then functionalize here the position next to the carbonyl group. So this is called as one, two keto transposition ketone transposition. So what are the methods? There are of course several methods but we will take a one or two methods which are using the sulphur based or selenium based chemistry. One of the earlier methods was that one takes this carbonyl group here for example, which I have written 3 pentanone and if one converts into a tosyl hydrazone like this and treats with two equivalents of butyl lithium, then of course you will first deprotonate the hydrogen which is attached to the nitrogen and of course you will deprotonate the hydrogen with the second butyl lithium at the alpha position leading to this di anion that is you have an anion here at this carbon and you have an anion at the nitrogen. And when this is treated with any disulfide such as RS or SR which is can be any of the disulfides say diphenyl disulfide or dimethyl disulfide. So you can have a choice of the disulfide that you would like to use it. Now once that happens this anion of the this anion then reacts with the sulphur here and this breaks off and of course what you introduce is SR. I have shown here in methyl but we can have anything. Now you use one more equivalent of butyl lithium so that you generate now another anion at from the hydrogen that is abstracted to form this anion which is easily formed alpha to the sulphur and now that undergoes elimination the way it is shown here that the tussle group is a good living group and therefore it goes off with the movement of the negative charge to form this intermediate. Now this intermediate then loses nitrogen as it is shown here to form this vinyl lithium this is what is formed. Now during this process when the protonation occurs here then you get the corresponding hydrogen at this stage. Now this vinyl sulphide this is a vinyl sulphide that can be easily hydrolyzed with the help of mercury chloride Hg++ and aqueous acetonitrile. Essentially what is happening in this particular case is the SR group being soft the sulphur being soft interacts with the Hg++ and followed by the attack of water at this centre. So essentially what you have is a is a is a complexation of the mercury onto the sulphur making this bond relatively weak this particular bond relatively weak and then the attack of the water then allows the formation of corresponding enol and which is what is basically nothing but so you have ketone formation. So you can start with one ketone make the corresponding Tosselheiger zone here then treat with butyl lithium to form introduce essentially at the vinylic position a sulphur and once that has happened you can then hydrolyze it with the help of soft Hg++ in aqueous acetonitrile medium to hydrolyze the vinyl sulphide to the corresponding ketone. This is one of the earlier methods which is what is utilized and of course this is based on a reaction called Shapiro reaction which forms vinyl lithium. So Shapiro reaction is nothing but similar fashion as Tosselheiger zone is there. So once you have a Tosselheiger zone and you form a di anion from here. So you have a anion formation here and you will have an anion formation here if you simply remove the nitrogen from here. So what you have is a di anion like this and which is what then of course in these cases there will be lithium plus lithium plus and this loses the Tosselheiger zone Tosselate group as I showed earlier and to form this particular intermediate and this is the intermediate then that loses the nitrogen and then forms the corresponding vinyl lithium. Now this vinyl lithium is of course similar to the vinyl lithium that I showed here on the top except that in the top position we had SR group introduced here we do not have an SR group introduced. So if one starts with a ketone like this and prepares the Tosselheiger zone and then finally gets the vinyl lithium. Now you can react with any electrophile that is possible to react and that allows the introduction of say if you have an E plus as an electrophile and X minus of course as a counter ion then one can introduce the E here. So this is what is called Shapiro reaction. So basically the method that I introduced on the top is nothing but an application of the Shapiro reaction for the conversion of one ketone to transpose into the second position. Now Barry Trost also has reported an interesting way of doing this kind of 1-2 ketone transposition where he took a ketone and introduced simply an SR group adjacent to the alpha position next to the ketone at the alpha position without making the Tosselheiger zone. So if one takes this kind of any keto group here say like this and introduce by means of say a base and a RS, SR then you can introduce here SR and now you reduce it to the corresponding alcohol by means of say sodium borohydride and then you can eliminate it in terms of dehydration by say Tocic acid, Peratollin-Sulfonic acid and you heat it. So this elimination will give you this SR and once this SR is formed one can also do hydrolysis either by Hg++ or and water or as it is shown above is TiCl4 in acidic acid. So one of some of the maze by which you can hydrolyze it and one can go to the corresponding ketone. So this is the method that is also followed it is relatively easy by simply reduction followed by dehydration and then rehydration or forming the hydrolysis of the corresponding vinyl sulfide to the corresponding ketone. So this is another method by which one can transpose a ketone to the second position. Now there is an interesting reaction which is also required many a times is how are you going to convert an enone of this type to another enone. This is a 1, 3 enone transposition. So you have 1 position, 2 position and 3 position. Now you have inverted it is 1, 2 and 3. Except that here we have introduced another R group at this position. So it is not a simple 1, 3 enone transposition but it is a 1, 3 enone transposition with an addition of an R group. So if one starts with this enone here and introduce an R group such as this at the position onto the carbonyl carbon by reacting it with R lithium say you have alkyl lithium or aryl lithium or whatever kind of R group that you want to introduce. If you react it with a carbonyl group then it will form the corresponding allyl alcohol with an R group at the carbon holding the OH group. So now this allylic alcohol which is a tertiary allylic alcohol when it is reacted with say PCC which is pyridinium chlorochromate. So you have here pyridinium chlorochromate and then what happens is that it forms an intermediate where a tertiary alcohol will be reacting with the electrophilic chromium here. But then since R group here introduced R group is not a hydrogen anymore because we have used R lithium which is either alkyl or aryl. So that means no oxidation will occur at the of no oxidation of the hydroxy group will occur at the carbon because it does not have the any hydrogen left. So as a result there is some type of migration or some type of rearrangement that occurs where the intermediate eventually comes gets transformed in such a way that it reaches to the third carbon here or the vinylic carbon or the other end of the double bond which has one hydrogen. So this is what is called as a Dauben-Michino rearrangement. Now how does it happen is basically these are the kind of intermediates that are formed. So what happens is if you have an allylic alcohol of this type then when the chlorochromate or any chromium based reagent reacts with this hydroxy group. So in supposing if you have the pyridinium chlorochromate so if you have an R group here an OH group here. So this OH group will react with pyridinium chlorochromate and this is the intermediate that will form. Now you have an hydrogen here. So this part has come by reacting the tertiary alcohol to the pyridinium chlorochromate or any chromium reagent. Now this particular oxygen then interacts in this fashion and this breaks off to form an intermediate of this kind where the oxygen of the chromium species now has come to this particular position. Now since there is a hydrogen here then of course oxidation of this particular species occurs in a fashion something like this. Suppose you leave it as it is then you have O, Cr, Cr and O, O, O and then you have a hydrogen here. So this will undergo oxidation and of course you will then be left out with the corresponding ketone where there is a double bond of course and R group. So this species which I have shown here is similar to this species and that undergoes oxidation to give to the corresponding enone. So what we have done is we have transformed an allyl alcohol to this intermediate which undergoes a rearrangement of course it can also go back from here to here or here to here that is why there is an equilibrium. Same thing can happen here and this intermediate or this intermediate can be shown as somewhat like this where the chromate is coming out and then this species undergoes oxidation in the way I have shown here to the corresponding enone. So this is one of the very popular methods of converting an alpha beta unsaturated ketone with an extra substitution to the corresponding 1, 3 transposed enone. Now if one wants to do simple 1, 3 enone to the corresponding inverted 1, 3 enone or transposed 1, 3 enone say for example you have this and you want to convert into this where the ketone position is now changed from this position here ketone was here now we have made it here. So one another method which was published in 1980 is that we reduce the ketone to the corresponding to the corresponding alcohol here and by lithium aluminum hydride and then you acetylate it by means of acetyl chloride and pyridine or we can use acetic anhydride to form the corresponding acetate. When this allyl acetate is reacted with phenyl acCl what one forms is an intermediate of this time type chlorine here and Se phenyl. So essentially the double bond has interacted with phenyl Se plus and Cl minus to form this intermediate reacts this particular reagent reacts to form this where selenium comes in on this position and Cl comes on this position. Now when ozone is reacted ozone is allowed to react to this intermediate what is formed is is selenoxide and you have one hydrogen here and this undergoes elimination to form basically this. So you have an elimination here to give this double bond and then this double bond is reacted with 90% formic acid. So you get hydrolysis in this way with the loss of acetate and this undergoes then loss of hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding ketone like this. So when formic acid and water and the acidic condition reacts with this particular compound there is an addition of water followed by that means you have water you have water reacting with like this and this going like this under the acidic conditions and of course you lose acidic acid. So you form the corresponding this intermediate which is unstable intermediate and loses hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding enone. So we will stop it at this stage here and then catch it up for the next topic in our next lecture. So you go through these important transpositions of 1, 2 ketone transposition and enone transposition by both the ways one is substituted one as well as the other non substituted one and we will then look at some other oxidative transformations later on. So thank you.


From the Ludwig von Mises Institute, this is the Mises Report, a public policy and economic issues commentary series. In this program we present another part of ten great economic myths. The material heard today was prepared by Murray and Rothbard, Ph.D., of New York Polytechnic Institute for the Mises Institute. Myth number six. There is a trade-off between unemployment and inflation. Every time someone calls for the government to abandon its inflationary policies, establishment economists and politicians warn that the result can only be severe unemployment. We are trapped therefore into playing off inflation against high unemployment and become persuaded that we must therefore accept some of both. This doctrine is a fallback position for Keynesians. Originally the Keynesians promised us that by manipulating and fine-tuning deficits and government spending they could and would bring us permanent prosperity and full employment without inflation. Then when inflation became chronic and ever greater, they changed their tune to warn of the alleged trade-off so as to weaken any possible pressure upon the government to stop its inflationary creation of new money. The trade-off doctrine is based on the alleged Phillips Curve. A curve invented many years ago by British economist A.W. Phillips. Phillips correlated wage rate increases with unemployment and claimed that the two move inversely. The higher the increases in wage rates, the lower the unemployment. On its face, this is a peculiar doctrine since it flies in the face of logical common-sense theory. Theory tells us that the higher the wage rates, the greater the unemployment and vice versa. If everyone went to their employer tomorrow and insisted on double or triple the wage rate, many of us would be promptly out of a job, yet this bizarre finding was accepted as gospel by the Keynesian Economic Establishment. By now it should be clear that this statistical finding violates the facts as well as logical theory. During the 1950s inflation was about only 1 or 2% per year and unemployment hovered around 3 or 4%. Whereas nowadays unemployment ranges between 8 and 11% and inflation between 5 and 13%. In the last two or three decades in short, both inflation and unemployment have increased sharply and severely. If anything, we have a reverse Phillips Curve. There has been anything but an inflation unemployment trade-off. But ideologues seldom give way to the facts, even as they continually claim to test their theories by facts. To save the concept, they have simply concluded that the Phillips Curve still remains as an inflation unemployment trade-off, except that the curve has unaccountably shifted to a new set of alleged trade-offs. On this sort of mindset, of course, no one could ever refute any theory. In fact, inflation now will only create more unemployment in the long run, even if it reduces unemployment in the short run by inducing prices to spurt ahead of wage rates, thereby reducing real wage rates. Eventually, wage rates catch up with inflation and inflation brings recession and unemployment inevitably in its wake. After more than two decades of inflation, we are now all living in that long run. 3-6-849
