We're glad to know that you're still there and watching The Breakfast on the Plus TV Africa. And right now we're going to the National Dailies to see what the headlines are. We'll begin with Punch, Punch newspaper this morning on Off the Price. Punch leads with the story, APC Big Weeks, Jossel for ministerial slots, Tinnable Names, 8 SAs.

That's according to experts and details of that you can find on page 29. 18,088 blood election results uploaded to IRF portal witnesses tell PEPC, ICPC, VIA rains, X-jam registrar or journey day, children, six others. That's all on daily independent which is really loaded this morning. And then that's the last newspaper's headlines we'll be taking a look at as we go straight to up the press with our guests, Jida Johnson, Chief Lecturer and Nigerian Institute of Journalism. He's joining us from Lagos this morning. Good morning, Mr. Jida Johnson. So good to have you join us again. Good morning. Good morning to all of you. I want to ask him. Okay. Well, let's just go ahead and begin with some of the headlines. Let's begin with punch newspaper. Ministerial slots. People are just linked for ministerial slots and the president has already made some appointments about eight appointments which people are divided whether it is balanced or not. So let's hear your thoughts about these ministerial appointments, the likely ministerial appointments. If the appointments that he has made right now give you a picture of what is to come? Basically, if you look at, if you use the special advisor's list at the 8th out of the 20 which was given approval for by the Ignatian Assembly for the president, you understand what is yet to come because there's a mix of the old hands that you know that have worked with the president when he was governor in Lagos. For example, he was his commissioner in Lagos State. He was his commissioner in Lagos State and it seems that those guys moved into the areas in which he worked with him in Lagos State and then you have others that have worked in other states and then basically from the look of things what we are just going to see is just a slight departure from what we have seen from this special advisor. It will still be made up of people that has worked with him either at the state level or at other state government and then others that are just new that are coming on board. But from what punch in his paper has projected, you are still having, if you are still having people like Ganduji, Fahemi, Adiei, Keiyamu, Omoa Gigi. These are actors and players in the last, in the last, in the last, okay Adiei was with Jonathan administration. Fahemi was with Bwari administration before he went for second term. Ganduji was governor and then Keiyamu was also a minister and then Omoa Gigi was the deputy senate president for the night. It seems as if the more things changes, the more they look the same. If we still go around this set of people and then we are complaining about the rock that has happened in the last eight years then, well, that you should just keep open and open and open. It might be a situation whereby the new hope becomes an hopeless situation because what we need are younger, dynamic, resourceful, energetic, highly intelligent, cerebral and not people that there are political packages to be to be heading ministries and departments and agencies of government. But if you are bringing people that still have political ambition, that still have some political packages, you load government with a lot of with with with a lot of burden, political burden and for them to really work in making sure that we are able to deal with some of the challenges that are left behind by the Bwari administration. So that's that's just my take, my take on that because if you go to every ministry, every ministry seems to have one issue or the other presently. You see the president suspended the central bank of not suspended them, the EFCC chairman, and then we don't know the extent to which the suspension we go. The EFCC had already invited the erstwhile minister of aviation at the Syrica and then other management staff of of the Nigerian here. So it's just, it's just, it's just, I just want to implode the president to be circumspect and then to be circumspect in the process of appointing his his cabinet to to to to spread his his night beyond those that has worked with him in the past. So that's that's just it because I don't know I still go with this. You are suspect. Ganduji, Marafa, Kayamu, Oma, Gigi, Adie, all of all of these people have been, I've heard one position or the other before. They are not the best Nigerians. Are they the only one in Nigeria? I think we should, we should move here. See, hopefully some of the names you're calling will not come up when the list finally comes out. But let's move on to the next another headline. Sometimes those stories, sometimes those stories are planted, those stories are planted by their heath in order to put them save in the conversation.  So we'll just wait and see what the authentic list would look like. Hopefully some of the names you just mentioned will not be there. So still staying with the punch newspaper before we leave the punch newspaper, let's look at this headline EFCC, some on silica quizzes in Nigeria officials. Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's one of one of the things that is still surprising to me is what are the safety nets we put in place with respect to checks and balances with government officials either elected or appointed, abused in the process. Don't forget the Thunderbury administration. I think the accountant general of the federation was arrested of of of of was allegedly accused of fraud, arrested and then the case is in court with respect to how he was able to to siphon huge amount of money. And then you begin to wonder how is it possible one individual to go ahead and circumvent an entire process, an entire nation and and and then is able to to get away with blue mother. Well, the more you look at the Nigerian hair issue, this is just Nigerian hair. What about other ministries? Just imagine us doing such like, so you silica and then control what he has done in the aviation ministry. What happened to other ministry? If you look across all the ministry, so what are the safety nets we have put in place? Now you have the legislature that you serve as as a check and a balance on the excesses of the executive. You have you have the media which has the accountability rule and the watchdog rule to investigate and to throw to life things that are happening. But what we have seen is that it seems that everybody would just turn blind blind when these people are in office. And as soon as they leave office, all of a sudden everybody becomes becomes an intelligent officer. Everyone becomes interested in seeing what in performing the function which the which the state and the society requires them to perform as far as I am concerned. We respect to, you know, let me just respond a bit to what you said. The media has been in the forefront of extreme some of the activities of some of these ministries. We must not, we must not forget to admit to that truth. Well, I will engage in a debate to respect that. But the bottom line, the bottom line is that when the priest dog becomes a reward dog, when the when the watchdog becomes the priest dog, and when the watchdog becomes the reward dog, then you turn your blind eye to some certain things we need to do. I'm not saying the media is not, it's an industry which I believe, which I belong to. I think we need to do, we need to do much more than what, what we, what we are doing presently. You go see, you can understand what I'm saying. Now the same style, the same playbook that Barry started within in 20, in 2015, when he first came in, when everybody begins to praise Barry's fighting corruption is doing this. The same playbook is being played out again. The same playbook, the same narrative that was used there is what is being used. And it's our own responsibility as the watchdog to throw such light to it. For example, the president has taken one, two, three, four, five steps within two weeks. Let's take the issue of the student loan. Let's take the issue of removal of subsidy. Let's look at one, two, three issues. And then I've seen comments, I've seen so many comments. Look, when people are elected into public office, they are not meant to be praised. They are meant to be put under public scrutiny. If you come into public office, you offer yourself to sound the people. Are they, are they going to clap for you for, for presenting this program today? Once you leave, once you leave the set, are people going to clap for you? Oh, you've done well today. No, it's your job. It's what you apply to do. And that's your responsibility. We are meant to put scrutiny. We are not meant to be a press dog. And a lot of time you go, just open the pages of newspaper. You see the media pressing and pressing and pressing for doing the basic, the basic of what they are required to do. Okay, now that you've touched on the student loan, let's talk about it. It's on the front page of the nation newspaper, both the Mastery app. Student loan law takes off in September. Now that itself has generated lots of controversies. We've seen some of the articles on it, the conditions given for this loan. And many Nigerians are wondering who and who can qualify indeed for these loans. What, what's your take? Have you looked at it? What's your take? One of, one of the things you always look at is the way they make what the requirements for you to get the loan. And there's a system we have always put in place in Nigeria, which favors the people that will implement the policy. That is the civil servant. Is it a requirement? One of the requirements that you must get a lawyer with 10-year practice or a civil servant with level 12 and above. Now these are the people that are going to execute the policy because who are those that will be in the front line of executing the policies? You have set a trap for corruption. You have set a trap for corruption. So some level 12 officer can just use his name and use 10, 12 students to collect money. What I see, various programs that government have done that you require to get a guarantor that you have a civil servant as guarantor. What has been the outcome of such, such programs? There are numerous, numerous failed programs across both. And then if you look at the conditions that is provided, is it to help an African Nigerian or is it to help highly placed Nigerians? How many downtrodden Nigerians can meet up with the conditionalities provided for in that loan? And I keep asking this question. Why is the president in a hurry to sign this bill into law? Because one, he does not have an attorney general yet. He does not have an attorney general yet. So who is giving him the counsel to sign? Who is putting, for example, the student note was, was, was, was sponsored by the speaker of the night, night assembly. Even before he left the speaker, he was appointed as, as the team was staffed to the president. And then he ensured that the president signed that bill into an act. He's one of the first assignment to sign that bill into an act. As the president, as he sought legal counsel with respect to sign this, this, this, this bill.  The president, Muhammad Bari did not sign them into law. Why did he, why is he in a hurry signing this bill into law? And there are a lot of things that we don't know that we need to know. Is there an attorney, does he have an attorney general that has advised him sign this or don't sign this? And these are some of the areas which I thought that, okay, the media will look at it in that direction. If you throw like, to all of this issue, why? If it is so important and so crucial, you have not put in place your cabinet, you have not put in place your cabinet, you have not put in place your advisory committee, you have not, yesterday the president just inaugurated the National Economic Council. These are issues that should be table first before the National Economic Council. They looked at it and then they report back to him. These are, you bill have been the first set of assignment given to them. And then within, let's say it gives them two weeks and within one six weeks into his administration, all of these decisions he has taken, all of these bills he has ascended to, and then ascended to when there's an holistic view, not a narrow view by some select few. Okay, let's leave that. It's unfortunate. Some people are saying that it seems to be looking for validation and so far the things he's doing, we do not understand what it is, whether he had insight into these bills that he's signing into law, not just the education bill, not just the scholarship scheme that he's, not scholarship, the law scheme that he's talking about, but other things that he has signed into law. How much of the insight does he have into these things? That's the word insight. You need the benefit of insight to have the first insight. So now some people are proposing, his economic team, whoever that is or those are, are proposing a merger for customs, NIMASA and FIRS. Do you think that would be a good move? Well, for example, we have too many agencies. There's no doubt about that. We have too many agencies. There are multiple agencies and then what we need, what I think the president needs to do is to go back to the onsite report. We should not be in a hurry. We need to study that report and implement what that report recommended. We have too many agencies. Too many agencies performing the same function. Custom is a revenue generating agency of federal government. FIRS is a revenue generating agency of the government. NIMASA is a revenue generating agency of the government. So if you look at the responsibility and the core functions of this agency, more or less like they are the same, in a sense FIRS should be an umbrella body for all of these agencies. But my take is it's good for us to downsize our size government and also in terms of the ministry and agency and in terms of the personnel in order to reduce the cost of the cost of governance in Nigeria. That's a step in the right direction. But I advise the president to look at the OSEA report. That report is comprehensive, is thorough, and then we need to implement that report. There's no need for us to set up another committee to look into it. Something has been done. Government is a continent now. Something has been done in the past. Let's look at it and adopt this and then it will be good for his administration and it will be good for the entire nation. All right. Let's look at this, which is very much out there. CBN abolishes multiple Nira dollar exchange rates. We took a look at this in that yesterday. But give us your thoughts on it. Well, it's a step in the right direction. We'll be waiting for this. We'll be waiting for this and because a lot of people have made money through roundtripping and a lot of people have made money exploring that loophole. It's only an idea that you have multiple exchange rate. I don't know whether dollar has multiple exchange you know, whether pounds telling a hero has multiple exchange or the Chinese yen or the Japanese currency. So it's a step in the right direction and it's something we need to do to strengthen the Nira. One of the things which I have said was yes, is that the reason why the elites and the political class will never pray for Nira to appreciate is because their assets value are in dollars. Most of their assets are in dollars and they are stored in foreign countries. So, for example, just imagine a situation whereby 100 Nira is equal to 8 dollar. 8 dollar is just 15 Nira to 8 dollar. All those that have stolen money from Nigeria that have deposited their money in different foreign accounts, what do you think will happen to their money? So, it's just that we do not have the will. I'm sure with the resources we have, if we have the political way and we see it to be just a matter of time, Nira to dollar shouldn't be more than 15 Nira, 15 Nira to 8 dollar and hopefully we'll get there, hopefully we'll have the will like some of us have said. Some of the actors and players are at national level now. They've been in government. They've achieved whatever they want to achieve and the president says it's life long ambition. Probably for the first time in his life, he will look back and see that, you know what? I have to leave a legacy behind, beyond building a political legacy. I must leave a national legacy, legacy of reference that people can point to and say, oh, at least this man needs something for this nation and not for himself. So, I think that I pray and I pray for him and that he has the political way to see through some of the policies that have been highlighted with respect to a monetary policy. And one good thing is that I saw from the composition of the teaching cabinet, a special advisor, is the separation in the sense that bringing a younger person and then and hold on to the financial aspect and then younger or to the monetary aspect. So, hopefully bringing what he had to do and then the, I think, I can't recall his name now, if I'm a commissioner in New York state. So, I think that the two of them should be able to provide guidance with respect to how we achieve some, there's a need for us to have a stable currency. This is what gives confidence in foreign direct investment. It's also what gives confidence in Nigerians exporting their produce outside of Nigeria. They can compete comparatively in international trade, when Naira is stable and does not flop treat like second, every second. But as it stands now, Mr. Johnson, the Naira is exchanging for, the dollar is exchanging for 702 Naira and some people, maybe because they don't have that much insight into the workings of money, they are afraid that it is too much. Officially 702 Naira. At the initial stage, it will happen like that. And then what will happen? At the initial, if government is here, you are at the initial stage, it will stabilize. It's just something that you have, you did not allow to go with the market forces. You are regulating this over regulation and over interference. Now you are now trying to allow the market forces to control. First, there will be this fluctuation. One of the things, as a layman that I have discussed with people is that, if government is sincere, look at the telecom sector. Let's look at the telecom sector. How much did we buy sim when it was initially deregulated? Now what's sim now? So it's the same thing if government is sincere and government allow the market forces and allow active players and government does not interfere in the market and government does not create individual monopoly because what we have succeeded in doing is some of our policies over the years is for us to create, to move from government monopoly to individual monopoly. And I hope this government will not do that. One of the steps they've taken is, okay, three people have been given licenses to import petroleum product apart from NNPC. That's the revolution. That's allowing private actors and players to participate in the process. And it's just a matter of time, the sincerity of purpose. I tell you what we are experiencing in the telecom sector. What we have experienced in other sectors that have been deregulated, like the broadcast industry in Nigeria that we are now exploring is just, is the sincerity of purpose and determination of the leadership that we have for time. That means about changing the society. But I'm just trying to, do we really have, are we really that better in the telecom sector, for instance? We are now buying sim for maybe a hundred Naira. Sometimes you're given for free.  But the data, for instance, that we were using for a month, now it's a matter of hours. And nobody can say anything because it's a free for all thing. You determine your own rates because it's a free market. That's what is happening right now. The electricity sector, electricity as well. I can't say where you have the regulatory body. That's the essence of the regulatory body. You recall what the Obersando administration did then to force down, one, the prices of the sim to the production of recharge card. And then now we move to per second billing. So it's about those that we have given, those that we have given responsibility to, those that are meant to do oversight function and appointing the right people in the right place. You look at, I don't, you see sometimes when we review, it's just a critique of the past.  And not related. You, we saw what the extra minister of communication, we saw what he did with the minister of communication. Yes, to our minister. You know, a lot of people who are put in position of authority under Boris administration that do not qualify to even head those agencies and those ministries. And I think these are the areas in which the media needs to do spotlight. As the president, Paula met, who is throwing out the names of people that we are pointing the office. If we see a square peg in a round, we need to shout it out. We need to drum it out. So if you look at the way, and unfortunately, the last administration is one of the few administration whereby we have somebody being in the ministry for close, ministers being in the ministry for eight years. You know, we are in education, for example, in, in aviation, for example, in works, for example, communication.  Wherever you have, you thought that the level of continuity in this ministry will bring about a change. But what we have witnessed is that even in those ministries where we have continuity, there seems to be a lot of policy flip up. And then there seems to be, I don't know how we use this word, it would be too, too much. And it's just that I think we didn't get the best value from, from, from some of this ministry where we have superministers for eight years. We are still talking about the aviation ministry where this liquor was. It was Minister of State in the, in, in the, in the first term of, in the second term of Bari, Bari separated aviation from transportation because aviation was under transportation there. It was Minister of State in the first, in the first term. And in the second term, it was made a substantive minister. And what did we, what did, what did the city cash in for it? Nigerian here. Well, before we go, before we go, let's look at another headline, which may also make the blood of Nigerians boil today. Federal governments, 819 billion Naira extra budget littered with ghost projects. So an administration is living in less than one month. The administration is living, and then all of a sudden the national assembly, you know, approves the robust national assembly, approves a supplementary budget for an administration that is living. And then the, is he, he was, he was not so funny. You record the 2.1, the 2, the 12 billion, the 12 billion fire, fire truck, and the various, the various projects that all of every minister was executing towards the challenge. There was one that the Minister of Sports only that was trying to push in concerning the innovation of national stadium and the rest of it. My goodness. Some people should go to jail. Some people should go to jail. Some, some people should just, she just go to jail. She just go to jail.  As he said, nobody should call him to come and appear in court.  That's to tell you the extent to which the president himself does not even have control over his cabinet. It's unfortunate. It is. Oh, well, we don't know how that's going to be. Goes projects at this time and all that. But we also have this story, this unfortunate story that comes from choir state that people who drowned, 106 people drowned and the federal government is vowing to prosecute boat operators. And I asked a question. How much influence did you have? How much sensitization? How much help did they get from the federal government? Now this has happened. The federal government is going to prosecute the boat operators. What do you think when you hear this kind of stories? It's an executive overage. It's an executive overage. Who is going to prosecute the federal government for the various road accidents that we have for the state government, for the numerous portals we have? He's going to prosecute federal government concerning that as far as I'm concerned, what we need is for government to look at that sector and to reform that sector. It is not prosecution that is required. It's about reforming that sector. It's about looking at how to intervene in that sector. Government is making money into that sector. How do people in those communities come in across, across, across Rivanaja, across Rivanu. Those people, we have led them to be on their own. What intervention has the state government done with respect to that? What intervention has the federal government done with respect to that? It's not, they should even thank those that are even operating in that sector without any support, without any incentive from government. They are still going to facilitate the movement of good and services across that sector, excuse me, across that sector. And then what do you want to do now? What do you want to do now is to prosecute them? Without those players, without those local players, what do you think will have happened to the life of people living in those Rivanaja communities? What attention have we paid to them? Until this death do, are we even aware of people coming? You can imagine, what type of boat will carry 100 people? Are you getting my point? Exactly. And then it's just that, that one that caught our attention because they were going for a wedding reception. How many have sought an apple for those that are going for business transaction? Are you with me? Because this one that is, because this one that happened as a communal, as a communal, communal impact, because a lot of families are involved, is a per wedding. So it involves the entire community. So that's why this is it. What of those five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 people that have done in the past across the district? What did they do concerning that? These are just, part of the manifestations, yeah, part of the manifestations of the failure we've had over the years. I mean, we've had ministers of transportation come and go. Not many of them, if any at all, have paid much attention to transportation on water, you know, safety in that area. And for 106 people to drown in this.  I met you as minister of transportation. At this week, a minister of aviation, a national minister of what? The area of making former governors, ministers, I think we should, it is, once you have been an executive at the state level, you call it short. Now you know, because it's, I don't know, it's just that we're built. Yeah, we know. Let me just, let me just come to mind. Let me just come to mind. Well, I don't know. It's been daunting to analyze some of these things because, yes. Anyway, thank you so much, Mr. Jede Janssen, for your time, especially since you're a bit under the weather and you still took time to join us this morning. We're very grateful. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be with you. I'm sure you will see the Nigerian here will come, will land. Jede, you have to bring that. Thank you so much for being a part of our show this morning. All right, Jede Janssen, his chief lecturer and attorney of journalism, he joined us on off the press. We'll be back with our very first hot topic, don't go anywhere. Stay with us.

You can use Tor to visit conventional websites anonymously, but there is also an entire network of hidden sites which are not displayed in the public web network and can only be visible when you use Tor. Web pages are loaded much slower in Tor than in any conventional browser. It is impossible to determine exactly how slow your internet connection becomes with Tor. Because this change depends on a number of factories, the speed will always vary because a different circuit of service is used every time you connect to the internet. Therefore, Tor becomes a necessary tool in the days when privacy online is almost non-existent. This product allows you to visit websites without an annoying attention of all kinds of services monitoring your activity. All of us must have noticed the advertising that follows us anywhere just because we have once visited a certain webpage of a product or service. All these annoying things disappear when you use Tor browser. You can find a link to download this browser in the description. Now Vivaldi. Vivaldi is positioned as a browser with unlimited functionality. As a user, I would say it's a good and largely customizable alternative to Google Chrome with a wide range of interface options. This is something that Chrome lacks. At first, you might catch the speed dial, well-remembered from Opera as well as the toolbar and the menu button featuring Vivaldi icon. However, developers of this browser have gone a long way from other Tor products. Why do we compare it to Chrome? Because Vivaldi is also based on Chromium. Though it is more often compared to Opera because its developer is related to this company, I would compare it to Chrome. By the way, Google Chrome extensions are compatible with Vivaldi, and if you go to Tools Extensions, you can see that they are installed from Chrome Web Store. The browser has the same task manager and developer tools, and users will be happy to see convenient bookmark and history tabs. There is a good function called Quick Commands. You can start it by pressing F2 to open any item on the wide list of settings. I will not go into detail with the browser settings, but I can tell you for sure there are so many of them that every user can fine-tune Vivaldi in every aspect. You can change themes, backgrounds and colors, something that we missed in Chrome. There is also an interesting opportunity to change position of the tab bar. If you send the bar left or right, the tabs will be shown with a preview, webpages and so on. You can add necessary links to the side panel for quick access. I also like the Capture function. Clicking on a camera icon in the lower bar of the browser, you can take a screenshot of your entire screen or only a part of it. Obviously, such things are quite using some third-party software. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't support creating a user account yet, so there are no synchronization options. Nevertheless, this browser is a very promising alternative for the top five products in this category. You can find a link to download this browser in the description. Now, it's time for Touch Browser. Touch is rather a powerful media center than a typical browser. It is based on Chromium and stands out for its improved design and additional functionality. The browser page with a new tab features customizable, minimalistic yet stylish design, while the toolbar contains shortcuts to all media functions available in the browser. Touch Music is a shortcut to a web application of the same name featuring a music streaming service with lots of popular artists and albums. All music comes from YouTube, so you can not only listen to it but also watch it. Touch Games is a collection of flash games to help you kill the time. The Download Manager in Touch can download files somewhat faster than Chrome, but can often show you critical errors. When you go to a page containing audio or video, the Download Manager icon will blink. When you click on it, a download will start. It is especially convenient when you want to download videos from YouTube. Touch can download torrent files and work with magnet links, which it processes not in the Download Manager but in a separate tab. An opportunity to watch a video in the browser while it is downloaded is an interesting alternative to watching videos online. Still, Touch has several annoying disadvantages. For example, it often shows pop-ups explaining its functions and asks you to tell about it in social media. If you don't need some of its features, it is not so easy to uninstall them. Nevertheless, Touch is a wonderful tool for those who like films, music and social media. You can find a link to download this browser in the description. That is all for now.

It's good to see everybody. We wanna welcome those who are in the house. Come on, let's put our hands together. It's good to be in church. And we're gonna clap one more time. Let's clap for all the watch parties and radiant members that are joining us online. We love you guys.  This is a little weird for me. This is like in baseball terms, live pitching. When you've been batting all off season and the batting cages and all of a sudden there's live pitching. I haven't seen you guys in months, but it's awesome to actually look out and see some radiant faces today. And I wanna invite you on this 4th of July weekend, if you have your Bible to open it up to the book of James, James chapter one. We are beginning a brand new series this weekend in honor of our Independence Day celebration. And we're calling it revolutionary faith. We are going to spend the next several weeks looking and studying through the book of James. You might say, well, why James? Well, let me just tell you some things about the book of James. Number one, the book of James is probably the oldest book in your New Testament. Probably the first New Testament book written is written by a man named James. Obviously it's his namesake, but James was the half brother of Jesus and also the full brother of Jude one of the last books in the Bible. Can you imagine being the half brother of Jesus growing up in the same house as Jesus?   What we know is that James and Jude and the other siblings of Jesus did not believe in Jesus until after his resurrection from the dead. After his resurrection, Paul tells them first Corinthians that he appeared to his brothers and they believed and we know that they were there with Mary in the upper room on the day of Pentecost and James became a significant leader in the church at Jerusalem. And we know that X chapter two, the church exploded right from the very beginning. It was like an atomic reaction where the church went from zero to 3000 on day one. And so the book of James was written by Pastor James, half brother of Jesus, as the church was exploding in a revolutionary way. Christianity was a revolution that took place in the midst of political and cultural turmoil. I don't know if you've noticed recently but we've had some challenges in our culture. Things have shaken things up over the last three months in America, an American culture and really around the world. And sometimes we can step back and we can think, well, it would be easy to be a follower of Jesus if I lived in the first century right around the time of the book of Acts, Acts chapter two, you read that and you say the spirit of God was poured out and signs and wonders were happening and angelic visitations and people getting delivered from prison. If I lived in a time like that, I could follow Jesus. But let me tell you something about that time. They were under military occupation from Rome. Christians were being persecuted. They had fighting going on in the church between Jews and Gentiles. They were arguing over budgets. People were literally being beheaded. People lied on their offering envelopes and were struck dead by the Holy spirit and buried at the same time. All of this was happening in the book of Acts. It was turmoil. And I believe that it's completely appropriate for the day that we are living in for us to look at this vintage book, this oldest New Testament book that shows us how the church had to grapple with revolutionary issues right from the very beginning because Christianity was revolutionary. A definition of a revolution is a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. Well, for the first believers, they were overthrowing and they were cashing in their old system of religious obligation in exchange for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And James writes his book, his letter to Christians to help them grapple with the revolution, the greatest revolution that was going to take place in their lives. It was the revolution of their heart because there had to be a transformation and a change of government that took place on the inside of them before they could affect the world that was outside of them. You know, there was a song and we're gonna look here in James chapter one and read 18 verses. But there was a song that took place during another revolution, the 1960s. Some of you remember it. It was called the counterculture revolution. This struggling little band called the Beatles wrote a song called So You Say You Want a Revolution. And the song says it like this. You say you want a revolution. Well, you know, we all want to change the world. You say you want a revolution or you say you've got a real solution.  You know, everybody talks about changing the world. Everybody talks and if you don't believe me, just look on Facebook. Everybody's got a plan for how the world would be a better place. If somebody would just pay attention to my Facebook posts, it would change the world. How many know somebody like that? Don't raise your hand and don't point at them and don't share this link with them right now. But everybody thinks they have a plan. Everybody thinks that the world should change. But the last thing that we think needs to change is actually us. It's always that person needs to change or that group needs to change or that nation needs to change or this system needs to change. And maybe there are some things that need to change. But do you know where change has to begin? It has to change in us. So let's look here at James chapter one, verse number one, it says, James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the 12 tribes in the dispersion. Greetings. Count it all, joy my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness or endurance or patience. And let steadfastness, patience, endurance have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives generously to all without reproach and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without doubting for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For this person will not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. He's a double-minded man, unstable in all of his ways. Let the lowly brother boast in his exultation and the rich in his humiliation because like a flower of the grass, he will pass away. For the sun rises with the scorching heat and withers the grass, its flower falls and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits, first wild. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desires. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived my brothers, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the father of life with whom there is no variation and shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Dallas Willard in his book, The Renovation of the Heart when talking about this revolution, this need of change and how it reflects our true relationship with God says it like this. He says, the revolution of Jesus is in the first place and continually a revolution of the human heart or spirit. He is a revolution of character which proceeds by changing people from the inside through ongoing relationship with God through Jesus Christ and to one another. Beloved listen, following Jesus is not just a set of rules and beliefs that we aspire to.  Following Jesus is actually a revolution. It's a revolution of our heart and as soon as we embark on that, as soon as we recognize the need for that change, as soon as we decide we're gonna overthrow the system of the flesh, the system of sin, the system that is broken all around us, the government where we sit on the throne and rule our own lives and we surrender to the Lordship of Jesus, we're overthrowing one government and we're erecting a throne and inviting Jesus to be the Lord of all on the new throne, on the new heart that we have. As soon as we begin to do that, we are gonna come into conflict. We're gonna come into conflict because there is an enemy that we are revolting against but it's not an enemy out there. It's an enemy right here. Everybody take your index finger, even at home, just take your index finger and point it at yourself. This is where the enemy is. The enemy is in our heart. It's the old man, it's the flesh, it's the person that Paul says is buried with Christ but yeah, how many know even though you come to Christ and you are a new creation in Christ Jesus, old things have passed away, how many know that that old man likes to hang on and show up every once in a while? Anybody relate to that? The old man, his old thoughts, his own desires, the vulnerability towards temptation still emerges. You know, on this weekend, as Americans we are celebrating the 4th of July which is our declaration of independence as a nation. When we revolted against tyranny against England and now, you know, in America, how do we celebrate things? We blow things up, that's what we do. They just said that fireworks, sales in America have increased by 106% this year over last year.  It's just like, I wanna buy something that just makes a lot of noise, makes a lot of smoke and I wanna light it and watch it and feel better about myself. But you know, 244 years ago, we declared independence from England, one of our founding fathers. His name was Samuel Adams. Some of you know him just because of the beer but that's not what he's most famous for. He wrote about the revolution. He said, a general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of a common enemy. While the people are virtuous, they cannot be subdued. But when once they lose their virtue, then we'll be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader. What was Samuel Adams saying? He was like, look, the real issue is will we be virtuous people? And that was a, you know, a couple of hundred years ago when the statement was made about being virtuous, what they were talking about was about being godly. When we have a relationship with God, when we put God first, then that affects the government of our heart and the trajectory of our life and on an individual level and also on a national level, basically he's saying there's nothing that can stop a nation that chooses to put God first starting in each of us individually and making Jesus Lord of our lives. But as soon as we get rid of that, as soon as we lose that center, then what begins to happen is we become very vulnerable to intruders outside and internal. Because what Samuel Adams knew is what James knew 2,000 years ago when he saw the revolution of the church and he was trying to pastor people coming out of Judaism into now following the true and the living Messiah, Jesus. He understood that if it's only about giving you a list of rules and regulations, then nothing has changed on the inside. Dallas Willard said it best, the revolution of Jesus is a revolution of the heart. Christianity is a revolution of the soul. It's a revolution of an underdeveloped spirit and an unsubdued soul. This is what James means when he's talking about going through trials. He says, count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. Many gives us this process in steadfastness or the Christian Standard Bible says, mature, complete, lacking nothing. That's the end result.  And the way that it gets us there is we go through tests, we go through trials. And when you're in the midst of a test or trial, he tells us, count it joy. How many know that's a lot easier written than done? I mean, when we go through tests, oftentimes the worst of us and the best of us rises to the surface. The best of us rises to the surface because we meet the challenge, but we're also confronted with the things that need to be overthrown in our hearts. Our attitudes, our mentalities, our staying power or what he calls steadfastness. This is stuff that is real life. And I don't know if anybody's been through anything in the last couple of months, but it's easy to see the best of us and the worst of us that shows up when pressure is applied. And when that happens, we can become discouraged and say, well, what's wrong with me? Why am I responding this way? We can become oblivious and just self-justify and say, well, this is the way I am and I'm right and you ought to acknowledge it. Or we can do, here's the most important thing that we can do when we find ourselves in a trial. Stop and ask the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, what's going on? Why, what are you trying to say to me? It doesn't mean that everything in our life is something that God orchestrated to teach us a lesson. It's not like, oh, wax on, wax off, snatch pebble from hand, grass up, you will be just, that's not what God's, but God will use everything. The Bible says in Romans eight that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. That means God may not cause everything, but God uses everything and if we'll stop and say, God, right now, what are you trying to say to me? What are you trying to show to me? What are you trying to bring a revolution to? A change, an overthrow? Because here's what I want you to know, that there in every one of our lives is this tug of war that's going on. Anybody remember field day from high school? Or from not high school, elementary school? Anybody have field day? That was my favorite day of the year. Fourth, fifth grade field day is the lat, typically it was the last day of the school year.  We put hockey sticks over orange cones and those were hurdles and you had the long jump and the soft ball throw. Trying to think of some of the other events that we had. Oh, we had relays where you'd go back and forth in the lanes and then there was the tug of war. And it was in our school, I went to Bowen Elementary in Kentwood, Michigan and they would take one class of boys versus another class of boys and they had, we had this huge rope is about this thick. And you'd stand on each side and they had a cone and a flag, you know, tied onto the rope. And it was, this was bragging rights, the tug of war.  It's like, you're the anchor buddy, hold tight. And then we'd pull, pull, pull and go for it. And whoever won the tug of war, it was, that was bragging rights. And it would go back and forth, back and forth. Whoever, it typically whoever had the most endurance was the one who won. Who could hang on because you would go back and forth. You ever done a tug of war and experienced that? It's like back and then it goes this way a little bit and then back and then eventually one team just gets tired and they just let go of the rope and the whole other team just falls. And it's like, you can have the bragging rights, I'm done, but I wanna watch you fall. I want you to know this, that in your process and what James is writing to us about counting it as joy when we find ourselves in these tests is all about winning the tug of war, letting God win the tug of war. Because I want you to know that you are in one, whether you know it or not. If you're a follower of Jesus, you are constantly in a battle royale, a tug of war. And if you don't experience that tug, if you don't feel that tension that's going on in you, it may be that all you have is a form of religion because in a form of religion, just believing in existence of something, you're not gonna feel the pull from the other side. Why? There's no need. But if you have a living, thriving relationship with God and God is winning and bringing about change and transformation in your life, you are gonna find yourself in this place of tension and tug of war. And it's a tug of war between, listen, testing and tempting. Testing and tempting. What's the difference? Well, God tests, but the devil tempts. God tests, count it all joy, brothers. Because the testing of your faith. Come on, God, why do we gotta go through another test? Because God's outcome is that you will be perfect, complete and lacking nothing. God wants to bring you to a place of maturity. Well, how does he do that? Testing. But that's not how the devil operates. How the devil operates is different. Look over here at verse number 14. But each person is tempted, is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin. And sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Look at verse 16. Do not be deceived. Greatest danger in serving Jesus is that we become deceived. Because when you're deceived, when the enemy has deceived you, you can believe that you're okay. You can believe that you're doing better than most. You can buy into the lie that nothing needs to change.  Because we refuse to recognize that we've got to let Jesus win the tug of war.  Everybody's like, get on our team. He gets on your team and it's like, you win the match and it's all over. Here's what happens when you're in a tug of war. The flesh and your spirit, temptation and testing. Jesus walks up and says, who's team am I on?  All of a sudden he just goes, boom. And the devil and all of his cronies and all the temptation just go falling on the ground and you become victorious. That's what we want. We want to be perfect, complete and lacking nothing. Who's the deciding vote? You. One pulls on your faith, the other pulls on your flesh. Let's look at that, verse number two. So how is it that we can count it all joy when we fall into or meet trials of various kinds? For you know that the testing of your faith produces patience, but I don't know about you, but when you go through some difficult things, it doesn't feel joyful. It's not like, yes, this is hard. Woo, I'm fired up. I'm in turmoil. This is a battle, it's a temptation. Man, I'm being challenged. Yes, there might be like one or two people on the planet like that, but most of us aren't like that. It's like, man, my marriage is really going through it. Ah, joy. I just got a pink slip from work. Woo. I'm looking in the mirror and I keep dealing with the same issues over and over and I'm losing, yes, victory. Most of us, that's not it. Where, what is James thinking when he's saying, count it all joy? When? When you find yourself in the test. You see joy actually, if you look at it, joy is not in the difficulty. That's not where he tells you to find joy. Tells you to find joy in the outcome. What does that require you to do? It means you gotta look out on the horizon. You gotta keep your eyes out on the horizon, on the future. In our case, you gotta keep your eyes on Jesus. As it says in Hebrews chapter 12, it says, let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. When you're running, you have to keep your eyes on the course, on the finish line. Looking unto Jesus, the founder or the author and the finisher, perfecter of our faith. Look at this, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. So Jesus, he's our finish line. When you're out at sea, if you want to keep yourself from becoming seasick, you have to find the horizon and keep your eyes on the horizon.  How do you change that? Lift up your eyes, look at the horizons. How do you find joy in the middle of a test? Because tests, by the way, listen, tests are not God punishing you. Tests are God perfecting you. When you find yourself in a test, it's not because you did something wrong, it's actually because God is doing something right. It's because he wants you to be perfect, mature, and complete, and there is a process to progress. What does he say, keep your eyes on Jesus? What about Jesus, his example, who endured the cross? Man, I'll tell you this, I know this. Nothing I've ever gone through comes anywhere close to the cross. It doesn't come anywhere close to the cross. Now we might think that we've been through some difficult things and some things that we've been through are more challenging than others. I'm not trying to diminish the things that we've gone through or maybe that you've gone through.  We don't have a high priest who does not sympathize with our infirmities or our weaknesses. We have a high priest who's been through everything that we've been through. You wanna talk about being betrayed? Jesus has been betrayed. Physical pain? Jesus has been beaten, crucified. You wanna talk about humiliation? Jesus was humiliated. False accusations? Yes, he experienced all of that. Separation from God? Yes, he experienced that. Nature actually rejected the idea that the Son of God would be turned away from by the Father at the moment that our sin was put on him. You say, well, God can't possibly understand what the burden of the sin that I carry is. No, he understands it because Jesus took it. He took all of our sin on him. Imagine taking 10 billion human sin all at once on yourself. Jesus took it. But it says, well, he was on the cross. He endured the cross. What for? For the joy that was set before him. Despising the shame. What's the joy for Jesus? He knew what the outcome would be of the test he was going through right now. He knew, you know what? I'm going through this. So that billions of lost men and women throughout history will be reconciled to the Father and to me. I'm doing this to please the heart of my Father. Looking unto Jesus. So when we go through things, count it all joy. How do we count it all joy? Highs on the horizon going, God's up to something. This is gonna hurt. This is gonna be painful. This is gonna, I'm gonna have to confront some issues. I may, in this process, I'm probably gonna have some good moments and some bad moments, but I'm trusting God in the process because I believe that the outcome is not my destruction. Listen to me, God's point in the test. The thing that differentiates temptation from testing is testing brings greater life, tempting unto sin produces greater death. And when we find ourselves in a test, it's like, God, I can't see where this is. It's like running a race. I can't see the finish line on mile 15 of a marathon. But I know where you're leading me. I can see the lanes. I can see the banners. I can hear the cheering. And we're surrounded saints by such a great cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on, that have gone before us and we're cheered on by the angels in heaven.  Don't quit. Don't let go of the rope. And we can do that with joy. I'm not talking about happiness. There's a difference between joy and happiness. Joy is a permanent eternal state of being. Happiness is fleeting. We can count it joyful because we know God's kind intentions. Testing is a pathway to progress. That's part of the process. Next week, we're gonna be talking about the process of temptation because this is where the rubber hits the road. Once you can differentiate tests from temptation, you can figure out, you can allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into victory and not always get stuck in the traps. But testing, the reason why we can be joyful about it is because it's God's pathway to progress. It's the normal way of life for Jesus' followers. Peter writes in 1 Peter chapter four, verse 12, Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trials when it comes upon you, listen, to test you. To test you as though something strange were happening to you, but rejoice insofar as you share in Christ's sufferings that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. Don't think it's strange. I've had people literally come on and go, Pastor, I'm not sure I'm saved. I'm like, well, tell me why you think that?  Have you repented of your sins? Yeah, I've done that, but I'm not sure I'm saved. I think something's wrong with the prayer I prayed. Really, why do you think that? Because the devil's attacking me. Or they'll say, because man, life's hard. I'm going through some hard stuff right now. And you know what? I feel like if God really loved me and I was saved, I wouldn't be going through this stuff. No, that's actually evidence that you are saved. So rejoice, be glad, put your trust in the Lord. The world's going to give you some trouble. On that you can rely, my friend. Come on, Caleb Culver, who wrote that song. This world's going to come with some trouble. There's going to be some tests. The test is God's pathway to progress. Testing, listen, is meant to perfect you.  Look at what it says, when temptation comes, you're lured and enticed by your own desires. Then when that desire has conceived, notice the birth language? It gives birth to sin and sin when it's fully grown brings forth death. See a coach, a coach when he's been assigned to an athlete will push that athlete to the edge of what the athlete thinks he can do, it's possible.  I need you to do it like this. Oh, you're done, get on the line. Another sprint, I can't do it anymore. I'm going to throw up, good. Just don't throw up on my side of the line. Throw up when you get to the finish line. Oh, I can't do any more reps in the weight room. Come on, just one more, just one more, just one more. There's no way I can break this time limit. Oh, we're going to do it. We're going to get in the weight room and then a month later we're going to come back around. What does the coach do? He pushes the athlete to bring what is on the inside of him out that he doesn't even believe himself is there. This is what God does in us saints.  You were put here on earth for a purpose, not to be overcome, but to overcome. You were created to be more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. You were called to walk in step with God. There is so much more potential because the Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of us. The very spirit of God that hovered over the face of the earth that called mountains out of the ocean, that stretched out the heavens at the rate of 186,000 miles per second, the speed of light is the same Holy Spirit that lives in you. If we could just surrender and get out of the Holy Spirit's way, if we could just say yes to the Holy Spirit, to God, to his word, if we could just avoid being deceived because deception is pulling on your flesh.   Because when you're trapped, you're not walking in the freedom that Jesus paid for. Galatians chapter five says it was for freedom that Christ has set us free. You know what a revolution is for? It's to overthrow tyranny and to bring about freedom. That's why we're blowing stuff up this weekend. That's why we're gonna go home and eat a burger, a brat, and ribs. That's why we're gonna eat beans until we can't eat beans no more. And that's why we're gonna watch things blow up in the sky and we're gonna sing the Star Spangled Banner and it's gonna, we're doing that because freedom. We can celebrate because of freedom. The reason why Jesus wants to bring about a revolution of our hearts, to where we let Jesus win. That we go through the process of testing and refining so that we're perfect, complete, and lacking nothing is so that we're walking in all of the freedom that Jesus has for us. Not snared and entrapped like some caged animal by wrong thinking, wrong belief systems, limiting concepts, trapped by our sin and snared by our temptation, burned down with shame and guilt and lies of the enemy that we just walk around going, nothing's changed in my life. Where's the victory in my life? Shameful, we don't wanna be honest.  Do you know that elephants are massive animals? And when they circuses, unfortunately, when they get a baby elephant, they'll tie a rope around its ankle, put it on a stake, a big old steel stake so that that elephant will try and get away, try and walk away, but every time he goes away, that chain or that shackle or that rope, whatever's holding him will tighten around his and he begins to realize pretty quickly that this is his limitation and that he can't be free. Now the elephant will grow four or five times size and weight as it was when it was a baby, but because he's come to terms with the fact that he's never gonna be free, a trainer can replace that rope or that chain with a piece of twine and every time the elephant walks to the limit and the length of that rope, he'll feel the tug. He has the strength to snap it without even thinking, but because he's believed this is his limit, he never will. I wonder how many believers have believed the lie that when you go through difficulties, it's God's penalty, it's God's punishment. I wonder how many Christians believe the lie that they will never be free. I wonder how many of us have allowed a leash to be put on us. And because we don't have the spiritual stamina, the steadfastness, we've not allowed God to take us through the pathway of testing and bring us into perfect, complete and lacking nothing. And so we have no joy. Today, God wants to move us from deception to revelation. That I don't have to allow sin. I don't have to allow the flesh. I don't have to allow the devil any longer to rule and reign over me. I can be set free in Jesus. Rejoice in that. I wanna invite everybody, if you would, stand up with me as we pray. And if you're joining us online, would you just wherever you're at, would you just join us in prayer as well?  Heavenly Father, today we thank you. We do rejoice that in Jesus, a revolution has taken place. Because of Jesus, the tyranny of sin, hell, and the devil has been overthrown by the resurrected King and Lord. And today I'm asking you, Father, would you release hope into our hearts and into our lives in this moment? Lord, would you release faith? Faith, your word says, if anyone lacks wisdom, let them ask of God who gives liberally. Lord, today I'm praying for a download of wisdom. In this moment, a download of revelation knowledge in this moment for those of us who find ourselves in a test, for those of us today who may be watching or even present in a on location service. And we've never allowed Jesus to win the battle for our heart. We've never waved the white flag of surrender and said, Jesus, I surrender all. You are Lord, I need you to save me. And I surrender, here's my sword of authority, here's my sin, here's my shame, here's my, here's everything. I lay it at your feet, Jesus. And I surrender, forgive me, come into my heart, save me, refine me, sit on the throne of my heart and be the King and the Lord of my life. Today, wherever you're at, if you're within the sound of my voice and you know in your heart of hearts that you need to get right with God. Today, you need to let Jesus win the tug of war. Stop fighting them, stop trying to pull it in your own strength, stop trying to defeat the enemy, stop trying to just be a better person. You need to surrender and say, Jesus, come into my heart. I repent, I'm sorry for my sin, I surrender it all, come into my heart. I wanna be saved, I want the revolution to begin in me today. And it begins with making you Lord of all Jesus. Wherever you're at right now, in this room at Portage Online, you say, I know I need to get right with God.  If that's you, I just want you to raise your hand right where you're at. Just indicate that, just say that's me. Say, Jesus, today I need you, come into my life. I want everyone to pray this prayer. If you're at home, I want you to pray this with those who are praying up for the first time. If you're in this service, I want you to pray it out loud with me. Let's invite Jesus in. Say, Heavenly Father, come in Jesus' name and I surrender all. I make you Lord of all Jesus. You've won the battle. I repent of my sin. I give it all to you and I ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and my savior. I turn my back on my past and turning my back on my sin. And from this day forward, I declare Jesus Christ is King of my life. I'm a child of God. I'm washed, I'm cleansed and I am in process because I am more than an overcomer through Jesus who saved me. Thank you for loving me, God and dying on the cross for me so that I could live forever with you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.


In US Senate, an intense struggle is starting over the issue of Ukraine. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is stepping up his personal efforts to secure a deal on border reform and aid for Ukraine and Israel, which colleagues are characterising as a major test of his leadership according to The Hill. It is noted that McConnell is the leading GOP advocate for supporting Ukraine and is under increased pressure with Ukraine's troops running low on ammunition and weapons. He's tasked Senator James Lankford with leading border talks with the Biden administration and Senate Democrat, but is stepping up his own involvement. The GOP leader reminded colleagues at a closed door lunch meeting not to lose sight of the nation's pressing national security challenges presented by Russia, Iran and China. I think he has stepped up. I think he was really trying to give James Lankford enough room to run to pull together a deal, said one Republican senator, who requested anonymity to explain why McConnell initially kept his distance from the negotiations before getting more involved in recent weeks. For a while, talks were not progressing like people had hoped, and I think now we're back and we're so, so close, tantalisingly close to being able to lock down a deal, the lawmaker added. I think this is now where Mitch has looked at it and said, this is now the time to reinforce why we can't squander this. It's not going to be everything that everybody wants, but there are other issues beyond the US-Mexico border that we're obligated to be thinking about. The source said, recounting McConnell's message to the GOP conference.

Hey friends today we are hanging out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and all of the Christmas decorations are up And it is so beautiful. I wanted to come out look at some decorations eat some food Meet up with a friend and enjoy a wonderful evening at Hollywood Studios anyhoo's Let's go do this. I Just love the Christmas decorations that they have here at Hollywood Studios. It gives me such a nostalgic feel I don't know why I think it's just a way that they are they're like 80s 90s Christmas decorations kind of what I had in my house when I was growing up and that's why it's my second favorite park Obviously Magic Kingdom is my number one But Magic Kingdom and then Hollywood Studios and it will kingdom and Epcot. They're okay You know what I mean? Let me know in the comments what your favorite park is to visit during the holiday season I feel like Magic Kingdom will probably be like the majority of people's votes But Hollywood Studios is definitely a close second We're gonna actually head in now and I want to see if my Christmas magic band will light up here Like it usually lights up like red and green and does like a little jingle But maybe it might be the annual pass holder one. We'll find out here we go Oh, it's the annual pass holder one Annual pass holders get like a special effect at the turnstiles whatever you touch your magic band or card And I have a limited edition Christmas magic band And I think when I go to Magic Kingdom it lights up red and it lights up green and makes a little jingle jingle sound I put that my Christmas vlog for Magic Kingdom, but every annual pass holder gets that effect now And I think that's kind of nifty But boy. Oh boy. Look at these decorations. I love it And we are gonna be sticking around until nighttime to see it all lit up because Echo Lake is so beautiful at night I love staring at the big ornaments and we'll probably head over there right now so we can say hi to Gertie These are the decorations that I'm talking about. We've got some reindeer's We've got Santy Claus, and I just love it Like I said, these feel like nostalgic to me and they're all capped off by Echo Lake. Look at that Isn't it so beautiful? Honestly during the holidays.  I'm so happy the holiday season's here Sadly just because all of the Christmas decorations are out I don't think the full holiday season kicks off for another couple days I mean there's not really any holiday snacks out or merchandise and it sounds like the regular music loop is actually still going So we're gonna have to come back and do a full Christmas at Hollywood Studios vlog But today we are here to hang out with a friend and enjoy the park itself And we're actually gonna talk about something that I plan on doing in the next couple days That's kind of adventurous for me. So I'm very excited to share that with you And holy moly my dreams are about to come true. Here comes Maxie There he is. How are you Maxie? Oh, I like your phone. Are you taking a picture of me? Oh, you're taking a picture of me. That is awesome That was so cool Max just walked out. I'm like, hey Maxie I got super excited and giddy because he's one of my favorite all-time characters a goofy movie Is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies and I wish I could have saw him and the goof together Sometimes they hang out there, but I think it's just Maxie. You know that carry has a cell phone He's taken photos took a photo of me. I feel special Speaking of Gertie herself. It looks like dinosaur Gertie's ice cream of extension is open I hardly ever see this open. They just sell Mickey premium bars in there But uh, yeah, I never see it open and look at that. It's open for the holiday season I love it Just to point out some of the detail of the Christmas decorations We have like the mistletoes here, but they even decorate the top of the umbrellas here And I think that is such a unique touch. I mean that is really awesome I can see some ornaments. They kind of look like Christmas trees because they're green Wow, that just hit me and I got surprised and happy, but that is really nifty We're gonna actually go meet up with our friend and we're gonna have a little lunch And it's funny because the restaurant we're going to actually has Christmas decorations And they normally have these Christmas decorations all year around And I'll tell you more about it when we get there because it's a part of the theming But uh, yeah, I'm super excited And I'm meeting up with my friend Meg from Mickey's magic. Are you excited for fun Hollywood Studios Day? I am yeah, I mean I've been here for most of the day so far, but it's been fun Yeah, and it's your birthday in a couple days Very fancy. So we're celebrating a little bit. Happy birthday We're gonna make our way down into grand park here and we're gonna be heading over to Mama Melrose And I like this place. I haven't eaten here a lot. I feel like it gets a bad rep But it's a nice theming. It's in a good area and there's not too many restaurants at Hollywood Studios anyway One of the things that's really shocking is the fact that it's a wonderful shop isn't open yet here at Hollywood Studios It's the Christmas shop that they had and it's usually open all year like round But it didn't reopen when the parks reopened and it's still closed to this day And you think the holiday season they would definitely get somebody in there. You know what I mean? But look at that still just sitting here. Sorry.   They've got ornaments and garland up there And it's just really nice in here. I love the theming. So cool I decided to go with the classic a little spaghetti and meatballs And they actually give you four meatballs, which is actually a really good portion because I feel like three meatballs Is like the general like portion size for all like meatball dishes, but here at mama melrose you get four There we go. Let's cut into a meatball here Oh, yeah, that looks like a spicy meatball One meatball I am a meatball enthusiast. So I hope it's actually good. I think I've only ever had the chicken parm here But look at that bad boy. I'm excited to get four of them Now I think it's time we move along like I said, I wasn't going to go into like a full dining review We are just kind of hanging out the spaghetti and meatballs was very delicious though And the portion sizes in there are so good But the best thing is the bread service the bread service is phenomenal and I love it We're gonna make our way into galaxy's edge ride a couple rides and I thought I just saw chubaca out and about here But I think he went back inside We missed chubaca I think since I'm wearing my boba fat, uh, roosevelt shirt, which I absolutely love Maybe we'll go do ride uh smugglers run, you know, I haven't rode in a while And uh, it seems like a ride that me and meg always actually ride whenever we come down here So, uh, yeah, we'll see what the wait time is like Looks like it's a pretty busy day today. The standby wait time is 55 minutes That is intense, but I think we're gonna go down the lightning lane I'll tell you what it was basically a walk on for the lightning lane But still 55 minutes for the standby and that seems like a long wait But if you wait later in the day the standby is always under 30 minutes Flight crews to transport this valuable merchandise across the galaxy Pilots to navigate Engineers to operate the ship and runners to defend the shipments And that is where you come in We might get lucky and get two but me and meg are piloting Oh, we're going in. We're going in Activate And That was a lot of fun. I always love riding smugglers run, especially with a flight crew that's like in it You know what I mean? We're like yelling and chanting and I love being the person to yell punch and chewy It's always my favorite. So meg was able to actually pull it down. But yes, smugglers run is great I don't know if I'd wait 55 minutes for it though only if I was here vacationing other than that Lightning lane complete walk on Now we're going to make our way into toy story land I wanted to see if uh alien swirling saucers actually started their holiday overlay yet But I'm pretty sure they haven't but I still take a peek. See don't mind actually peeking in on buzz there Well, it doesn't look like the holiday overlay is ready for alien swirling saucer But normally it's like uh christmas music and it's much better experience at night I'm guessing november 4th is when everything is actually going to come about because they can't wait Any longer than the 8th because that's the first very merry uh after party or after hours event So this week all full blown holidays I think we're gonna head on into toy story midway mania And we're actually gonna have a little competition and see who wins meg isn't too competitive But i'm gonna show you the way Oh, I seen that wink Okay, well it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be interesting Holy moly it is very very very long line for the standby Wow Today just seems like a busy day in general I really can't show you much of the ride because we're gonna be too busy competing But we're gonna let you know what the score is once we get done, right? You might have a chance I'm gonna show you all the tricks I'll challenge you Challenge accepted. Yep rule number one. Don't waste your energy no arm strength Oh boys, let's go what do we got here? Nice It did good Look at that Oh Best in the vehicle but not best this hour or best this month best this month is like 556,000 so that that's a lot right that takes some serious skill That was a lot of fun and I came out victorious But meg did a good job and now she knows some of the tricks and I think we're gonna move along Now I think we're gonna head on into a slinky dog. Nash We're gonna do a little dash and dodge and I always ask for the back row of slinky I think it's so much better and I just love seeing his little springy tail there Oh, there he goes It's funny because me and meg are actually filming a tiktok It's gonna be really really fun And I'm not gonna be able to record most of the ride only a little bit because we're gonna be doing the tiktok on the other part of the ride This is it Slinky dog dash always puts me in a great mood and we did a good job on the tiktok So if you want to watch it you come and check it out on both of our tiktoks like paging mr Mario and then mickey's magic and uh, yeah I'll put a link like in the description for our tiktoks and also Meg's channel mickey's magic, but it was just fun kind of like making tiktoks on flaky dog dash. It's really unique You remember earlier. I was saying it'd be awesome to see max and goofy together and look they actually came out together That is really unique Look at him What's he got on his fishing pole? Is that some underwear? So the adventurous thing that I was talking about that I'm gonna be doing Very shortly is actually my first run disney run And I am so excited for Meg is actually here in town because she's doing the wine and dine half marathon I'm not too ready for a half marathon yet. I'm gonna be doing the 5k But I'm very excited. It's gonna be my first run disney event ever And I've been training for the past couple months getting myself up and stamina And my speed down and everything like that And I feel like 5k is a good start for my first run disney event And hopefully I'm gonna use it as a launching point to get myself to do a half marathon for marathon weekends And I'm excited and Meg's gonna run with me. She does all the run disney marathon So it's gonna be great to have a friend with me as I actually go through it the first time Because nobody wants to do it alone for the first time And that's my little announcement for you guys. I am very excited for it I'm also very excited that the lights are starting to turn on here on the tree And like I said, we're gonna be hanging out here tonight. So we're gonna see everything all lit up But I did notice we were missing a little water here. It's definitely uh, not as uh Full as it normally is I'm sure they're gonna get to that eventually But wow once it actually gets dark out you can see a little sparkle on there This whole entire echo lake is just so beautiful to see lit up and sunset boulevard over by the tower of terror I can't wait to see that as well Now I think we're heading back on into galaxy's edge And we're gonna do rise of the resistance and then earlier we mentioned that we've got reservations to august So that we can help celebrate Meg's birthday a little bit. So we've a lot to look forward to and I'm very excited Stand by wait time as 105 minute wait, but we're going through the lightning lane And uh, yeah 105 minutes, but I don't think it's definitely 105 minutes because there's no queue on the outside I am lieutenant beck as you heard from ray. I have been tasked with getting you to the car Normally you're kind of rushed through here, but the line is actually starting in here So we're in line right here. So it gives you plenty of time to take photos and I think that's really awesome Oh, yes Don't point it out They're usb chargers Thank you, I'm backing up backing up backing up Did it work good? There's a clear path to the total risk at the end of the hallway This that comes to follow us Why are you doing that? There's nowhere to run such as resistance as I want to be destroyed Bronze came in a little off target Brown crews will meet you outside the wreck Honestly, all rise of resistance rides are amazing But we can all agree that b-mode is not what you want. You don't want b-mode We got b-mode. We've been b-mode. Let's go po As we make our way over to the canteen I wanted to stop to this really cool photo pass spot over here Where they actually have lightsabers that you can use as you take your photo and I think it's always nifty It's very cool. Especially if you don't have a lightsaber Look at this. Isn't it a great photo pass opportunity? I love it so much And it's the perfect time of the day for the lightsabers because it really stands out Always keep an eye out for that because there's nothing actually pointing you in that direction they're just kind of tucked out over there and I only know from going over there taking photos before but it's a little fun thing Like I said, especially if you don't have a lightsaber Now I think it's time we get to ogas for our reservation and I feel so awesome coming here It's been a while and don't mind getting some fancy drinks and maybe some b-2 bits Our table is ready. So we got our mask on and we're good to go I think I'm going to get a bizpin fizz. It's one of those drinks that has a cool effect to it I love just being in here though. It's just such a good atmosphere. DJ Rex is actually tearing it up over there And uh, yeah, I mean it's amazing There it is the bizpin fizz Oh my gosh that was so fast Meg's got the fuzzy ta-ta Oh, and then we got the outer rim Cheers Cheers to the second round some gold squadron This is my favorite beer here in bot two. I don't know. I just love it and I like the glass too It's very you said you like the glass too, right? It's very nice. Look at DJ Rex doing his thing here We're all done inside the cantina and we're gonna actually go check out all the Christmas decorations or the Christmas lights And uh, yeah, just enjoy the night. The park's only open for like another half an hour So we're gonna try to get as much done as we can and just that little time limit And this is what I've been waiting to see all night long Look at it, isn't it beautiful I love it here during the holidays. I love seeing all the ornaments in the water It is just so beautiful What else is so amazing is seeing the tower of terror in the background With its 50th anniversary projections on it because it kind of just fits in perfect with the colors Like doesn't it? Wow, this is I love it. I am so happy to be here right now Honestly, I just can't stop looking away because I love it I love seeing the reflections of the Christmas bulbs in the water And I love that they're actually still spraying water out too Very cool Look at how pretty the grassy knolls are even I know it's kind of funny looking in the lights. I don't know why it does that with cameras But I love it. Like this is really really nice I Just walking around here. I mean, it's great to see all the lights But once like the Christmas music kicks in it is for real Such an amazing like experience and I can't wait So like I said, we'll have to come back once all of the merchandise and the snacks come back And do like a full Christmas like Hollywood studios day. I think that would be like totally worth it And now we get to see all of the other decorations on the way out all lit up So beautiful here. I know I probably said that a hundred times, but it really is And I guess with that we're gonna call it a night here so much fun So amazing and if you get the chance check out mickey's magic Meg's channel put the youtube link in the description. I believe tomorrow We're actually going to the run disney expo and then the fifth is the 5k. So I'm super excited to actually be able to do it And uh, yeah, that might be my next video. I think Anywho's I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye

This month I'm going to talk to you about Collections. I'm shocked. I haven't talked about this before earlier because it is really a great package It's part of a standard lib. I'm using Python 3.3 So there's a couple of things, but I'll point out that are only available in 3.3 actually So start let's just Get our stuff from collections. Let me talk about the weirdest thing in collections I've never really used an anger something called a DQ It's a fast in-memory list for certain operations if you want to add stuff to the left or to the right So, you know if you're talking about millions of things you're adding at one time This does very fast memory operations for insertions before and afterwards as opposed to the regular Python list Which is a bit slower.  Let me see what was around Yeah, you know just dates around the calendar have I missed one did I put any in bad months?  I call the list again a List if you just call list will give you an empty list So let me go through my did my dates and by year n zero so n zero being the year I append my n and I can append because there's no care because it turns into list every item and suddenly I Get my year by items and they're all sorted by year 2011 2012 You've all done this code the hard time the hard way So a default is a really fun especially can pass in your own function So you have some really crazy things you want to do just pass a function takes no arguments return what you want And as opposed to set default where your second argument is going to get instantiated Functions only get called when you're missing something so if you want to call a function That's very expensive, but not all the time you can use it Also counter counters really great counter is a specialized Version of I guess the default ticked where it's a default ticked with my end here We're basically everything's equal to zero off the bat. So in my counter. I pass any iterable and And And I can add to that if I want to so again collections as a string is an iterable It's getting every letter at the time. So I just say see that letter add one And I can add like find me the five most common things right? This is really frequent in my code find me give me a huge list of stuff Get me the most common the three most common the top five the top 10 and I'll spit you out plus the count for each of those Right, so these are all the most common letters in the two strings I passed in one by one You know otherwise the way you're doing it normally in regular code is I'll get a dict and then go through my thing Right, and then if n is in counter counter n plus one else counter n equals one and you always screw it up as I always do it took me a couple of times to do this and Yeah, it's just a pain. Just use counters. It's great And Oh, yeah, also to get the most common. It's really complicated kind of code that I always screw up when I write by hand So the most common method is superb Now my favorite part of library. I've got 18 seconds. I'll do it really fast name tuple name tuples really great Use it. Please please even if I get cut off We're named tuple.  So this is a tuple use it everywhere you use a tuple and You can print it and it gets all these so all of these are fields speakers length and title and they become fields here and you can use them exactly like you would with a tuple and The cool thing is you can you can access things by attributes So in your code instead of doing a p0 everywhere you can do p dot speaker and I am done, but please use name tuple
