d by college democrats of massachusetts which the state Democratic party in massachusetts helped, you know to coordinate and cubra I don't necessarily know that that's the case because honestly like from my perspective I wasn't really following this race that closely like i knew of alex morse and supported his campaign But that smear made me pay attention like that race in a way kind of catapulted alex morse Into national prominence now the smear Could have certainly hurt him because i mean he was rising in the polls so you know that was a way to Stop his momentum, but at the same time, you know I don't know if it directly hurt him because when people found out about it that And you know, they felt sympathy for alex morse. They kind of rallied around him At least i did and a lot of other people that i know Who are following this did so you know it backfired in a way to Where i don't know that i can say definitively the smear is what led to him losing But it's just a matter of like when you're running for the first time Really, this is all about building your brand building name recognition And you know if alex morse came back He could pull this off like look at quarry bush She lost by what 20 points in 2018 and came back and defeated lacy clay two years later So if morse is losing by 11 points Then i feel really good about his chances in a couple of years Now that sucks. I want him in congress now because he is a phenomenal candidate very progressive but um You know you win some you lose some but maybe this is just going to be a pretty easy one we can um knock out in 2022 but at least you know edmark he won and we just took out Joe kennedy and you know any I think hope that he'd run for president one day. It's it's kind of Not going to be possible now If you end up losing your house seat to challenge someone and then lose that race like that's a bad look So at least that's one corporate democrat who we kind of knocked out who'd be another You know smug and sufferable centrist like pete buddha judge although I kind of feel like i don't know who's more insufferable between pete buddha judge and Joe kennedy like to me they both irritate me for different reasons Uh, but at least you know, we don't have to deal with one of them for now. So that's good So I mean all around not the result that I had hoped for but still, you know, uh, I'm gonna take this as a Solid night Hello, everyone. I am here with adam christensen running in florida's third congressional district He just won his primary and he is now facing off against a republican in november and he's here to talk about his race So adam welcome to the program Hey, thank you so much for having me. It's nice to have you. So for whatever reason like I missed your race Um, I saw your platform. I loved everything you were endorsed by maryanne. Williamson and andrew yang Um, this was a really important race like you were a candidate that I would have supported But I don't know how you slipped to the cracks and I didn't know about your campaign until after you won your primary But this was a victory that I would have been really excited about and you know excited to celebrate So tell us a little bit about your campaign Yeah, no, absolutely. Honestly Um, it's kind of slipped through the cracks forever. It's north central florida and nobody ever realizes that number one This race is happening here or number two that you should even be paying attention to him At least until about a month ago when ted yoho decided to make himself famous And go after aoc and so that at that moment was when everyone was like, oh Oh, oh north central florida exists like we should care about this And so I in a way it was almost a gift that ted yoho is such a horrible human being But to be honest, I was surprised that nobody knew who he was before that because he had voted against making lynching a federal crime Like he didn't think the civil rights act was constitutional like he went against the e r a like the survivor's bill of rights Like this is who the guy was and so he was one of those tea partiers that got in um, and uh, he's been here ever since Yeah, um the ted yoho situation, uh, that you're referring to was when he, you know, just out of the blue attacks aoc I believe I talked about this on my program as well. Um, but yeah, this is an interesting race here So tell me what's going on because you won the democratic party primary You're going up against the republican and all of my viewers like they know about, you know These races and they bring them to my attention and this is no different So I had a viewer actually reach out to me and say, hey, you've got to get adam christensen on the program Why haven't you done this and I didn't actually know about your race? So I feel really bad and I'm glad that I'm correcting that right now But what was the dynamic in your primary? Like how many people were competing like was it relatively open? Like how did you manage to win because what we're seeing this time in 2020 is that Progressive candidates who are, you know running on medicare for all, uh, you know a living wage all of this They're seeing a lot more success this time around than in 2018 Which was kind of our first run where we had, you know, one big victory with aoc and a couple of other Successes with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tali, but this time it's completely different.  I mean the list goes on So how did you do it and you know, what can you say to other candidates running in primaries in the next cycle? Yes, so ours is a little bit different a little bit special So I am 26 years old So I am the youngest congressional nominee in the country on top of that we started in January We started almost seven months after everybody else and uh, we had no money. We had no name recognition We had basically nothing and we got a bunch of college kids that basically I mean one I went out and I started trying to get petitions and basically said Hey, this is what I want to run on I think this can work and I think people need this And one person joined and then another person joined and within a week We had about 10 and then within a couple months We had about 50 and it was one of those things where it almost started organically But the biggest thing that we did was number one. We ran on principal And we were able to actually connect with people and so for us We knew that we were never going to against our opponents We had two opponents one is a very progressive guy that has run I think this was his third time running for congress in a row The other guy had run previously as an independent And had neither of them had done well in a general previously against Ted Yoho But they had name recognition and they had some money and so for us It was number one. We had to build a field team. We had to actually do the groundwork We had to get in with the activists. We had to do everything that we possibly could Now most of the people on our team were organizers and activists That's most that's what our entire team was made up of and so for us The way that we were able to actually get people to understand the number one we existed and number one They should care that we were running was because we actually integrated ourselves into everything that was going on We had our name out there every single second of the day every single podcast every single news cycle Every single newspaper that we possibly could and it was a lot of hard work But at the end of the day hard work is not what is going to Win you races like this necessarily you're never going to win just based on Ideology or based on what you believe you have to be able to actually Win by coming up with a game plan and a strategy and in capitalizing off of it So for us immediately What we realized is we cannot do this alone and there are house district candidates that are running here That if they do well, we're going to do well And so we partnered with four out of the five house district candidates running for the florida house here in our congressional district immediately One was a 23 year old named rock abu jadi who is running just north of us The other was a 23 year old named synthia delarosa who was running just south of us Then we partnered with uh, the lady who had her name was yvonne haze henson She ran for congress in this seat two years ago and lost but she was running for state house And then we were able to help and find somebody to run in the other district because for us You have to be able to attack every single acre of ground You have to fight for everything in these rural districts And what we also realized was we were never going to win the democratic vote out of elachua county No nominee for this seat has ever not won gamesville university of florida area and gone on to be the nominee We didn't win gamesville We had to win the rural counties and the rural vote in order to win this nomination And that's what we focused on we knew we had to get at least 33 percent And we got 34 percent and we were able to do it and so number one We executed the game plan We came up with a game plan that was going to work and we built the coalitions that we're going to Actually get us across the finish line and that's exactly what it's going to take to win in november as well Yeah, so this is what I think you represent to me so back in 2016 It was exciting to see congressional candidates who were kind of running on the same platform that bernie sanders was running on But my hope then was that by 2018 we'd see more candidates and we did um and now in 2020 There's so many candidates running on the same platform of medicare for all and whatnot I can't keep track of them and my hope for 2022 and 2024 Is that there's so many candidates that are winning that that's what's difficult to keep track of And you kind of represent this to where I didn't even see this you came out of nowhere And it's so exciting like I was really demoralized after the results from florida because all of the candidates that I had followed You know melville pierce in a gen perlman had lost their races So I thought I'm not even gonna make a video and cover this because I don't think there's any victories And then here you come along with one of my viewers saying mike. We just got a victory. What are you doing? So it's it's nice to see this like it's a good problem to have when you're winning and you don't even know it right So let me ask you about your opponent because you're facing off against the republican You kind of alluded to this race a little bit earlier, but talk about your your opponent Who this individual is and how you plan to beat them Yeah, so the first thing is and one of the reasons it was a huge victory is we had a staff the entire staff All 50 people were under the age of 23 Wow And entirely you fled and the youngest nominee for congress on the democratic side may be ever Just won a race in north central florida going for ted yoho's seat. That's awesome So yeah, it was a victory and nobody saw it come. I mean, we knew it was gonna happen We were excited about it We thought it could and we thought we would shock everyone And it it happened and that was what was incredible But at the same time we knew that it was going to be a warm-up Because the real battle in the real fight is the general election ted. Yoho is resign or retiring For reasons that he claims. I don't think those are the reasons But you know what let him have it fine His campaign manager former chief of staff who he demoted to deputy chief of staff and then Basically got rid of because he said quote. She had no moral character That is who is running in his stead with his backers with his donors with everything that that he has built for the last eight years So we are going against the ted yoho machine. It's just not his name on the ballot They had 10 republicans on that side That was their primary the person who won which was her got 24 percent of the vote We thought it was going to be another guy named jutson sap who had the backing of roger stone Matt gates all of these People and uh, he did not she won At the same time which was incredible was the fact that uh, we thought she might get fourth or fifth Now What it's going to take to actually win we basically ran a general election strategy in a primary That almost never works for us. We have to cut the margins in the rural counties We have to win a couple of the rural counties and we have to actually compete there No democrat has ever really tried to compete there We're going to run up the score in gainsville and elacio county in the university of florida area with the democrats for the progressives Just because that's what's going to happen But for us the biggest inroads have to come in the rural counties specifically clay county Their sheriff was just arrested And about a month ago he claimed that he was going to deputize every gun owner and send them after the black lives matter protesters So this is the kind of like place that we have to make inroads in The way that we were able to do that we actually won clay county in the democratic primaries the way that we do that Number one you don't water down policy But what you can do is you can frame it in a way Not just to make it financial but emotional and that's something I feel like Progressives especially here have never been able to do it something republicans do phenomenally well They make everything emotional Where they don't have a good product, but they make people want it despite the fact they don't even have a product And so for us You know, we talk really about almost classical conservative values I'm talking the original progressive republicans. I'm talking like going after Monopolies going after middlemen going after people like the insurance companies who nobody likes insurance companies Nobody likes cable companies. Nobody likes towing companies These people are just they're designed to take our money and that is who we're going to go against is these predatory companies And so we talk a lot like that I I call medicare for all a small business tax cut because small businesses are on the line For healthcare and it's almost $8,000 per employee per year. You get rid of that cost on small businesses Small businesses can now raise wages. They can now compete with the big guys They can now recruit and on top of that you just lowered the amount of cost They have so it's a small business tax cut because you're removing the private taxes That is the shift we have made we have made the connection between there are two types of taxes Government taxes and private taxes and right now you are paying far more to private corporations than you ever would be To the government and most people here they only care about what it's going to cost them and whether or not It's going to be a good investment and you connect those dots You connect it with the original like teddy roosevelt going after billionaires going after scammers going after people that we bailed out But we never got money back from And that's a solid argument to make especially in the conservative counties and you can do that with with left progressive values That actually resonate in fact one of the craziest kind of like coalitions that we've seen is almost the far right John bircher society kind of people Pairing with environmentalists to go after nestly Nobody would think that's possible because nestly is coming in to destroy Basically bottle water out of our springs which would destroy a town called high springs in this area Which would destroy their way of life and so now you're seeing all these conservatives rise up with environmentalists and say No, we don't want that and so you're seeing kind of this crazy almost coalition forming That I don't think would have happened five to ten years ago Yeah, I would agree with that and your strategy makes sense because you're meeting people where they are Which is crucial like what we see from the national democratic party is that they oftentimes times will try to Adjust their message to appeal to republicans But they water down their own policy and you know, they talk about how they are a big tent party But that's not a winning message like people don't want to vote for republican light candidates They want to vote for people who are authentic that are you know addressing their specific needs And so when we see candidates like you and dana. I'm in you know in the 31st congressional district of texas Winning but not watering down your message and actually appealing to people who the democratic party is trying to get right now It's frustrating to me And I like banging my head against the wall because why don't they get this message? Why can't they do what you all are doing like what is your critique of the national democratic party? Because I think that it's so simple when you break it down about the way you appeal to conservative voters Like saying that medicare for all is a small business tax cut. It's brilliant. Why can't they get this? You know through their heads at the national level You know I and and this is one thing that I think has really helped us is you know I grew up a conservative a lot of people on our campaign grew up republicans And what they saw is a shift where the republican party number one didn't care about them But also didn't care about people Where I grew up what I believed and what my family always believed was that neither party cared whether or not We lived or died they just didn't and at the end of the day It was the corporate democrats and the corporate republicans and to most people they're one in the same There is no difference between them because at the end of the day they don't do anything for us and so My opponent cat kamek is is the embodiment of that I mean that is her she worked in washington for eight years But did anything change here? Did anything get better? No She didn't stand up to ted yoho when he voted against making lynching a federal crime. She said nothing He didn't she didn't stand up when he verbally assaulted a woman on the capital steps. She said nothing So if she's not going to stand up to her former boss when he does something outrageous like that Who is she going to stand up for it's definitely not us And so at the end of the day What people care about and what I was always taught to care about is that that that actions always speak louder than words And it doesn't matter what somebody tells you it matters what they're going to do and what they're actually going to put into motion And so that's the biggest thing. I think the democratic party needs to do I am tired of this rama manual I don't I would advise joe biden not to go for medicare for all I advise them not to go for a green new deal No, nobody respects you rom and the reason is you have no morals You have no character and every single independent and republican sees right through it What happens to democrats is when you water down your message and you no longer stand for anything nobody respects you At least people respect other people that have values and are willing to fight for them They may not agree But they can actually find common ground because they respect the fact that you care When you don't care about anything there's no common ground to be found and right now I think the democratic party has struggled with that for 40 years Because when you only care about donations and corporate packs and how much your donors are going to give you And what they care about you don't care about anybody else And at the end of the day the only person you care about is yourself And nobody likes that Yeah, absolutely And I want to like pick your brain a little bit because I think that you really you've nailed how to appeal to voters in rural areas so One thing that I see one thing that we heard during the primary The presidential primary that is is that you know, you can't go too far left and support something like medicare frail Because republicans are going to call you a crazy socialist.  That's crazy. Like how do you respond to that because a lot of this is just They are basing their assumptions about people who support policies like medicare frail off of fearmongering But to me like and you can correct me if i'm wrong The way that you get them to get off of that mindset is just by educating them and informing them about these policies So how do you respond to claims of oh, i'm a crazy socialist because i'm sure your opponent is already doing that about you My opponent doesn't have an attack line that she can actually stick to She talks about socialism, but then she's okay with giving the biggest companies in the world corporate welfare Like my opponent says that i'm a socialist, but at the same time she's been okay with for 40 years having corporate socialism Like it makes no sense. They're going to call you whatever they're going to call you and What I don't understand is why people believe that by giving ground in a negotiation you're actually helping your side That's not how that works That is not how negotiations work if you go in With a small business and you're trying to get investment you ask for more than you everything They're going to give you because at the end of the day they might give you what you wanted at the first point The same thing with any negotiation You always go in with things you don't want that you think are pie in the sky that you may will never get But when you give up those things when you actually Compromise some things that you never wanted in the first place But you put in there so you could compromise them you end up where you wanted you start with a national health care system You'll get medicare for all you start with medicare for all you'll get a public option you start with a public option You get the aca you get a right wing republican health care plan And so people like rama manual These people don't know how to negotiate they've never known how to negotiate and they give ground before they're even forced to And what we know is that is the last thing that you should do You always go in farther than you believe you'll ever get and then when you Compromise you end up where you want it rama manual doesn't understand that rama manual is the reason that we don't have progress in this country People like him that's the reason that the people that I grew up with hated the democratic party They don't stand for anything They're not willing to fight for anything at the end of the day They're only caring about themselves and whether or not they're going to keep their position and their money and their donors Nobody likes that Yeah, it's the smug elitism while simultaneously claiming that you have you know the moral high ground which As you stated like people see through that like it's inauthentic.  I think that's the phrase i'm blanking on it You know you appeal to the people who those types of democrats aren't able to appeal to so can you walk us through like What was it that was the spark that you know Got you to leave the republican party um and become a leftist like what was it For you because we kind of all have our same story like I reference how I grew up as an evangelical Um, but like what is your story like how did you become a lefty? You know, I think you're in my story is probably probably pretty close Um, I grew up in the church. I mean I was in the church from like the day I was three years old Or whenever my parents could get me out of there out of the hospital Um, I grew up believing You know the people that you're supposed to care about You know morally the the way you're supposed to live your life your character is what matters whether or not people see it or not Um, and the people that taught me that is I was growing up You know, I fully believed it and I believed that uh the way that you know You look at politics the way that you look at anything is supposed to help people Well, what I realized as I was growing up is the people that were telling me this they were not fulfilling the message of the church They were not fulfilling the message the mandate of what we were supposed to do I mean the greatest radicals that I learned about in history books Uh in the church, they were the ones that did not spend time with the elites. They did not spend time with The religious leaders they spent time With the people with the poor with the hungry with the sick And they said that how you treat those people is a reflection on who you are and what society you live in Well, what I saw is The church was not living those values the people that I grew up with and taught me that They didn't care about those people except for when they were at church on sunday reading the bible And so for me when I looked at both parties, I number one realized that the republican party. I could not reform There is nothing I could do there But the democratic party at least Stated or at least they originally stated or at least they used to be for Workers for people for the people that mattered for people like me That's something you can reform. It may not be perfect and no party is going to be perfect And no leadership is going to be perfect, but at least there's a shot there And so for me as I was going through college it was that it was that transition of Well, what kind of life do I want to be? What what do I want people to see from me? What kind of character morals do I want to have? And I believe at the end of the day That left politics that populist politics that the way that I grew up It is better reflected through things like medicare for all and making sure that Parents don't go bankrupt because their kid gets cancer Then it is to just say that well if you get sick you're on your own and hopefully you don't die One of those is moral the other isn't and so for me really the moral argument took over But now even the economic argument is taken over because all these things are cheaper They're better investments if I was a small business owner I would want universal child care because it's a high ROI Like the return on investment of universal child care is 1.25 Which is a great investment every single year education same thing I mean you talk about medicare for all it's cheaper than what we do now You can literally make the republican argument You want to get rid of the scammers the middlemen the bureaucracy the red tape and make sure it's a free market Get rid of the insurance companies make sure that the pharmaceutical industry can't price fix and we can actually negotiate drug prices That's a conservative argument, but apparently i'm a lefty socialist for wanting a free market in the healthcare system. That's fine And you really see like the arguments that you make reflected even in your pitches like if you go To your website where you say I support medicare for all you have a chart that shows the cost and how we're spending more than other countries And this is kind of the same thing that I see with other candidates running in red states or red districts like donna I'm him and kare easeman So it's interesting the way that you guys tweak those arguments and in a way I think that you're selling it better than us because I mean it's really easy And simplistic to make a moral argument and say hey, do you want people to die if they don't have health care? Do you not like it's common sense, but it's not getting through to the people who already You know are susceptible to that to that type of argument So you have to take it a step further and you have to defame all of these counter arguments And the economic argument is the one that we still see Even for the people who buy into the moral argument. So I think that what you're doing It's it's brilliant honestly, and I'm curious to see uh how this pans out I think you're really in a good position to win. This race is important because you state that You know, we're gonna be looking at redistrict redistricting And if florida goes blue, then that will change a lot. So talk about what could happen in the event Florida actually does flip to blue and how that will impact the future of house in terms of like Where the lines are drawn uh, congressionally Yeah, so in case anybody didn't know or Wasn't aware for the last however long florida is very gerrymandered and the Years that you can change that is uh, well this year Whoever owns the florida house controls the boundaries So for us and the florida democratic party, this is something that the florida democratic party has not done And they should have done every single time. This is one of those things that we talked about earlier You cannot play defense anymore We can't do that you never play a man down in any sport whatsoever because at the end of the day You're going to lose more than you win So the florida democratic party for the last 20 30 years has tried to play eight v 11 That is what they've tried to do. They have not run Candidates in districts. They didn't think would be close Now what does that mean that means that the republicans in those districts? They don't have to spend any money. They don't have to spend any time They don't have to campaign. They don't have to worry about it What that also means is they can go double or triple team the person next door Who isn't a contested race and pour all their money into that one? And what also happens is sometimes you have people that drop out of races But if there's no democrat in that race to begin with they don't win So what are we doing here? What are we thinking about the number one way to win the florida house? And it's exactly what virginia did. There was a group called 90 for 90 civil rights and and also voting activists Really famous the the reeds dr. Fergie reed and his father They said we are going to run a candidate everywhere Every single house district and we're going to fight for every single acre of land and we're going to force republicans to spend money time and basically create a war of attrition And they did and they flipped the virginia house now They decided the next one that needs to go is for them right before redistricting and here's how we're going to do it So they as long as well as a group called the Democratic environmental caucus of florida jenelle christensen who is not a relation of mine, but I get that question all the time They decided we are going to find and fund Scientists environmentalists for all of these races find anyone that we can get to get in this race At least get on the ballot and give them support to actually be able to run and organize and basically become field organizers And so they did now our race has five house districts within it within the congressional district Um, there was only going to be three people running in those in those house districts Which means republicans were going to win two of them without even having to try Well that didn't happen and what we've seen now is if we're able to cut the margins and a couple of those house districts We force republicans to spend money there when they don't want to We force the contested races in other house districts to have an easier shot and not have to focus all their time and resources and effort And so what we are seeing now is if north central florida goes blue a couple of our house districts go blue The rest of it will Joe biden wins the presidency We win our congressional seat and the florida house flips right before redistricting Which means democrats have a shot for the next 10 years instead of playing defense And so this is the one year That we have decided number one. We're going to organize we're going to do this better than we've ever done before And we're going to have a new strategy where we actually can win And not just compete Yeah, and I think that's the key like you can't just play defense You have to play offense and I feel like not a lot of people understand that but you do which is why I'm definitely rooting for you So I want you to tell us what we can do to help you get elected I think that anyone who's watched to this point is already sold on your campaign Tell us how close you are to flipping that seat and what we can do to get you across the finish line We got to pull it within three points. We pull it within three points We're going to get all the funding we need in the world to be able to get to that three-point margin We need we need money. We need donations. We need volunteers phone banking text banking all of it We are building a grassroots army full of organizers and activists We've even had progressive campaigns that ended in other states that had giant Organizations that are throwing them behind us because they realized that this is the pivot point in florida And so what we are going to be doing is focusing on independence Democrats turn them out and we are going to be phone banking text banking We are going to do everything possible at a massive scale in order to win when we win things are going to change drastically And so right now we think that this is the pivot point of florida And I think nationally people are starting to realize that it could be the pivot point for florida So you can give donations you can go to our website You can follow us on twitter social media You can amplify anything that we put out at the end of the day anything that you're able to do is going to help us And at the end of the day If the progressive left the progressive the congressional progressive caucus And the left flex their muscle in a deep red state and flip a seat that shows power That moves you from just primarying people to a point where you are on the attack and you are able to show that you are serious And you can move your caucus from 50 members to 100 And that is serious political power And so I think that the progressive left needs to be able to start flipping seats like mine And I think we can be the focal point in the start of it start of something much bigger So that's kind of that's the pitch. I mean right there Especially to people like you is look we can do this We got the plan to do this and I think we're going to I think so too. I think that you have The right strategy and the correct approach that you need to win Um, it's just a matter of you know Do we have enough people jumping on board to help you? So I definitely would encourage all of my viewers to do what they can to help you even if you know You don't live in florida's third congressional district if you live across the country You know just a couple of bucks If that's all you got can really make a difference because I mean if you were to get elected to congress This would be huge as you stated it would give us You know The clouds and show that we are capable of getting real political power and affecting change in a meaningful way So I mean this is really an important race. So I'm so glad that I am you know that you're on my radar and I'm rooting for you now Oh, I really appreciate I really appreciate that it's been kind of great. I met mark hamill the other day Did you really were greatest day of my life?  I was interesting I may have shed some tears or at least our communications director did but yeah, so That was cool. But at the same time like We've got groups all over the country that are realizing this that this red district is Lippable and it's close the last polling was done two and a half years ago Nobody knows what it looks like now. It was a plus nine then now we don't have now It's an open seat which is probably a 2.4 swing. We got felony disenfranchisement which got knocked down in florida That's a little bit that most people aren't thinking about We got the fact that florida right now is leading vote by mail ballots And as we all know if you have an absentee or vote by mail ballot You are more likely to vote than actually going to the polls And so across the country if you can lead in those things right there You've got a chance to actually close the gap. We got to close a gap of about 30,000 35,000 votes There are almost 40 to 45,000 hispanic and latino voters that nobody has ever asked to come vote for them In the last election. We've got conservative and independent women right now They're completely upset with the way that this district has been handled and the fact that people like cat kamek won't even stand up for themselves Let alone other women when they are attacked that right there Not not a good thing like our campaign is run by 76 progressive women They're all terrifying. They could all kill me and they know they could kill me And so I love it and like our team is phenomenal And and and you've probably seen the ticktocks the videos everything like that, but they care And they're willing to do the work and they're not willing to just sit back because for us It has to happen now and we don't have any other choice Because if we don't do something very shortly or does underwater Yeah, yeah, you have to act right now and this campaign what I love about it is like it's it's all run by zoomers Which is awesome like that's where all the energy is coming from and like I am already so much more prouder of zoomers than I am of millennials like I love my generation But like they're just they they had this fire That we didn't have like immediately like growing up. We had that, you know Excitement of obama, you know, I was excited about obama and then for zoomers They're like graduating into the apocalypse. So they don't have that false sense of hope So they're just getting to work immediately, you know So it's awesome to see that fire, but at the same time I feel bad because they shouldn't have to fight for their lives Like this, but I mean, you know the fact that they're they're doing all of this and they're seeing so much success already It does give me hope. So look shout out to your team We're rooting for you. Um, we'll put links to the website down below adam christian christensen running in florida's third congressional district We will be watching this race very closely because I think you're gonna pull this out That is everything. Thank you all so much for tuning in if you've made it this far as usual We're not going to end the show without thanking all of the people who make it possible our Very generous patreon paper and youtube members who help us not just to survive but thrive as well You all are the life blood of this program and I am truly truly grateful for your patronage. Um, so that's all I've got I am off next week, but since this episode is so big, of course I will be gradually posting segments from this episode throughout the course of the week So, you know, we've got to feed that algorithm on youtube So of course they're still going to be content But I am going to take the week off to celebrate my 10th anniversary and third wedding anniversary With my husband and I think that I really I need the mental health break. I need to like take a little bit of time to check out but not entirely I'll still be on twitter. Um, I'll still be following the news But just not making a video about it not having to like analyze it and think about it from this perspective As like a pundit will help me out a little bit like it'll just it'll be nice to have a little bit of a vacation So, um, not do anything staying home, but nonetheless, I think I think it'll still like really Really be uh nice. So, yeah I'll see you all in two weeks. Take care everyone. My name is mike figurado. This has been the humanist report Have a nice week


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unizor Education. I will continue presenting mini theorems, which I started in the previous lecture. I think it's extremely important, and this is actually the whole purpose of this website, to teach you to solve problems. So all these mini theorems, construction problems in geometry, solving equations in algebra. So all these exercises, all these problems, which are presented on the website, and which I discussed in the lectures, accompanying the notes, are extremely important. And it's basically, again, the goal of this website, to teach you to solve the problems for whatever future profession you might choose. So consider this as just brain exercise, as you would exercise your muscles in a chain. So I have this list of problems, which I want to present as a subject of this lecture. Now, I deliberately did not really go through solutions of these problems before the lecture. So I might, you know, hesitate in some cases, because I'm solving these problems, basically, in real time, if you wish. So bear with me, if I make the wrong step, I will correct myself, so you will see the process of how I solve these problems. And whatever my solution is, is not necessarily the only one, obviously, you can come up with your own. But whatever I come up with, it's a good schooling. Anyway, so let me start. Prove that some of the lengths of two diagonals of a quadrangle is less than its perimeter, but greater than its half perimeter. Okay. So you have a quadrangle, and two diagonals. So what you have to prove is that some of these two diagonals is less than perimeter, but greater than half perimeter. So what I will do is I will use letters to signify the lengths of the sides, and either of diagonals will also be with letters. So I have this quadrangle, A, B, C, G, with sides having lengths A, B, C, and G. And you know what for, I think for my purpose, I probably have to break every diagonal into two pieces, like P1 and P2, Q1 and Q2. I anticipate that this particular problem would require it. All right, so we have two different problems inside this one. Number one, that some of these two diagonals is less than the perimeter. Okay. How can we prove that? Well, obviously, we have to use the triangle inequality for this particular case. Now, if you will take a look at, let's say, triangle ABC, AC would be smaller than AB plus BC, obviously, because this is a triangle inequality.  All right. Now, similarly, with the same base, we can consider this triangle, ACD. And again, AC would be smaller than CG plus B8, which means Q1 plus Q2 would be less than C plus B. Now, let's talk about this diagonal. Considering the triangle on the left of it, ABG, we see that P1 plus P2, which is this side, is smaller than some of these, A plus D. And finally, this triangle BCD, again, the BD, which is P1 plus P2, would be smaller than B plus C. Well, actually, I think it's quite easy to see from here. Now, I have four different inequalities if I will add them up together. I will have Q1 plus Q2 twice, which is this diagonal, and P1 plus P2 twice, which is this diagonal. So I will have twice the sum of two diagonals. So it will be twice times Q1 plus P2 plus Q1 plus Q2. Now, it will be less than, if I add these inequalities together, the smaller part will give the smaller sum, and the bigger parts will give the bigger sum. I have A twice, I have B twice, I have C twice, and I have D twice. So I have A plus B plus C plus D twice, which is double perimeter, right? And obviously, we can reduce any inequality by two, which results in the first part of the theorem, mini-theorem, which we have to prove, that sum of two diagonals, Q1 plus P2, Q1 plus Q2, less than perimeter. Okay, so this part is easy. Let's think about the second part, that is greater than half perimeter. For half perimeter, I think we have to, well, we need an opposite direction, obviously. So diagonals should be greater than something. But now let's consider separately these four triangles. Now, these four triangles also can be used to apply the video triangle inequality. Now, A is smaller than P1 plus Q1, right? So A is smaller than P1 plus Q1. B is smaller than P1 plus Q2. B is smaller than P1 plus Q2. C is smaller than P2 plus Q2. And finally, D is smaller than P2 plus Q1. And again, add them together. On the left, I will have A plus B plus C plus D, which is perimeter. And on the right, I will have P1 twice, P2 twice, Q1 twice, and Q2 twice. So I have P1 plus P2 plus Q1 plus Q2 twice. So it's twice the sum of diagonals. And by reducing it by two, we have that half perimeter is less than sum of diagonals, which is the second part of this mini-theorem. Okay, that's it. Anyway, if you just think about how the whole problem was stated, I have any kind of a quadrangle. So basically, all these theorems about a socialist triangle, right triangles, et cetera, they're not really applicable. It's kind of, I think it's implied that the only thing which you can use to prove this inequality is the only inequality which you know, which is the triangle inequality, that in any triangle, sum of two sides is greater than the third side. All right, let's go on. Given an angle, p, m, q, p, m, q, and two points on each side, a and b on side, a, p, m, p, and a prime, b prime on a, q. Such that m, a is congruent to m, a prime and m, v is congruent to m, v prime. Okay, prove that crossing segments, a, b prime and b, a prime, they cross on a bisector. So this point is supposed to be on the bisector of this angle. And notice that this theorem implies easy way to construct an angle bisector. Well, yes, let's consider we prove this particular theorem. Then how can we construct the angle bisector? How can we basically find any point which lies on the bisector? Very easily, have a compass set to some particular distance and measure m, a and m, a prime. Then have another staging of the compass, measure m, b and m, b prime. Both statings are completely independent and can be anything, basically. And then just draw two lines from b to a prime to from a to b prime. Their crossing will be on the bisector. And then we can draw the bisector from n through this point. So it is an easy way to construct a bisector, angle bisector. But now let's go back to proving this theorem. Well, it looks obvious from here that triangles m, b, a prime, m, b, a prime is congruent to m, a, b prime. Now, why? Well, obviously, because this side is equal to this side, this side is equal to this side. That's just the way how we construct all these points, a, b, a prime, b prime. And angle, they share. So it's basically side, angle, side of one equal to side, angle, side of another. All right, so what actually follows from this equality? Let's think about it. Well, every element obviously is equal to the corresponding element, which means in particular that this angle of this triangle is equal to this angle. All right, that's quite obvious. What else is important? Well, we can also derive that this angle is equal to this angle. So angle m, b, a prime equals to m, b prime, a. That's from the equality of the triangles themselves. And since this angle is equal to this angle, and these are supplementary to these, this is supplementary to this, and this is supplementary to this angle. So that's why we have m, a prime, b congruent to m, a, b prime, a, b prime. And therefore, supplementary angles b, a prime, b prime, this one, b, a prime, b prime. This is supplementary to this one equal to this supplementary congruent to b, a, b prime. So now let's consider, let's put this point p. Let's consider two small triangles, b, a, p, and b prime, p, a prime. These two small triangles, this one and this one. Now, why are they equal? Why are they congruent? Well, because two angles, now, and this side in between is also congruent, because a, b is congruent to a, b prime, a prime, b prime, because it's difference between m, b and m, a. And this is a difference between m, b prime and m, a prime. So since a, b is equal to m, b minus m, a, which is equal to m, b prime minus m, a prime equals to b, to a prime, b prime. So these two small triangles are equal because of angle side angle, right? So triangle a, b, p is congruent to triangle a prime, b prime, p. Okay. So these triangles are congruent and that's why a, p is congruent to a prime, b. This is congruent to this. From this, we conclude that these triangles, this one, a, p, m, and this one, a, p, a prime, p, are also congruent. So triangle a, p, m is congruent to triangle a prime, p, m. Why? Because of three sides. This is common. These were congruent by definition, by the construction of these points, a and a prime. And these guys, we just proved that they're equal from these triangles. So we have three sides, which means these angles are equal. So this is a bisector. All right. Relatively easy theorem, finished. What's next? Given a straight line p, q and two pairs of points, symmetrical relative to this line. Okay. So we have line p, q and two points symmetrical, a and a prime. All right. And we have two other points also symmetrical, b and b prime. Okay. Prove that there exists a point m equidistant from all four points. Okay. We need to prove that there is a point m, which is equidistant from all four points on the line p, q. Well, actually it's quite easy. Because if you will take this segment and build a perpendicular bisector and call it m, the crossing of this perpendicular bisector to a, b. Now, let's think about this. These two distances will be the same. Why? Well, obviously, because these are two right triangles, let's call this point m. B and m and a and m are right triangles. Now, this is equal to this because it's bisector. So it's perpendicular bisector and this is the common leg. So we have two right triangles congruent to each other by two legs. Therefore, hypotenosis will be congruent as well. Now, considering these points are symmetrical to these, these two segments will also be the same. Why? This will be congruent to this because the symmetric, the symmetric means that they are on the same perpendicular and on the same distance. So this is straight, this is right angle and this is equal to this. And if you consider this triangle and this triangle, they have common leg. This leg is equal congruent to each other. That's why triangles are congruent and that's why this is also the same perpendicular. Now, in this case, it's also the same because B and B prime are symmetrical. That's why this triangle would be congruent to this. Exactly the same as the same logic as with this guy. So we have another hypotenuse. So this point is equidistant from all four. And how we have built it, we draw from A to B a sector and draw a perpendicular bisector of this segment. That's it. Given a straight line 2 points A, B on the same side, find a point which some length is minimal. Okay. This is also easy. So if you have line and two points A and B, how to find a point which is such a point M that A M plus M B is minimal among all the different M's which you can find on this line? Well, the answer is quite simple. You draw a symmetrical point A prime and connect with a straight line. So let's consider that A prime B is a straight line. Now, if you take any other point, then this particular distance would be equal to this particular distance. Let's call it M. Since A M is equal to A prime M, and A M is equal to A prime N, this is equal to this, and this is equal to this because A and A prime are symmetrical. So obviously, no matter where our point is, we have this congruence between A M and A prime M or A M and A prime M. So if this is a straight line from A prime to B, it will always be shorter than some of these two lines. So no matter where we put this M, if it's different from this M, we will have a triangle, and because of the triangle inequality, sum of A prime N plus NB A prime M plus NB would be greater than A prime straight line. So again, how to do the shortest distance, how to find the point with the shortest sum of distances to two different points, make a symmetrical point A prime and go with a straight line from A prime to B, wherever it crosses our line, that's the point with a minimum sum of two distances. Basically, there is a practical usage of this particular problem. Let's say you have two different towns, and you have a railroad. The question is, where should you put a station so that it will serve both towns and it will minimize the sum of two lengths. So people from one town and people from another town would have the smallest distance to travel altogether. Well, considering the population is the same, the point is exactly here. If population is different, then you might reconsider it and wait more towards the point which has a bigger population, but that is a completely different and much more difficult problem. Okay, let's move on. Given the q-tangle Pmq, Pmq, point A inside, find x on side mp, y on the mq, such that the perimeter triangle Axy is minimal. Well, it's actually the same problem, if you wish. Let's do it this way. What we do is we reflect the point A relative to this guy and reflect point A relative to another ray which makes the angle. So let's say this is A prime and this is A double prime. And then you connect with a straight line. Now, I claim that this is the real x and this is the real y. Now, if this is something like x prime and this is the y prime, these are my own points, I claim that the perimeter of a triangle Axy is smaller than Ax prime y prime. Why? Well, obviously because if you reverse this line, reflect this line Ax prime to here and Ay prime to here. So what will be? The perimeter of Axy is equal to a straight line from A prime to A double prime. But the perimeter of the triangle Ax prime y prime would be a combination of three segments, one, two, and three, which is not a straight line. And we know that the straight line is always the shortest distance between these two points. So that's the proof that you have to really reflect the original point relative to both sides of the angle and connect them with a straight line and this crossing will give you the triangle with the smallest perimeter. Well, that's it for this set of problems. Don't forget to look at Unisor.com, excellent site for all the exercises, problems, brain training, analysis, logic, and to the parents and supervisors can obviously control the process of education of their students by enrolling and controlling their progress by checking the exams, the scores on the exams, etc. I strongly recommend to use it. Thank you very much.


The mutual broadcasting system presents The Mysterious Travel, written, produced and directed by Robert A. Arter and David Colton, starring two of Radio's foremost personalities, Lyle Sugro and Robert Daimler, in Behind the Locked Door. Inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange, I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it feels pretty well little and chilly well little. So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves and be comfortable, if you can, as I bring you the strange and chilling story so many of you will pass to here again. I call it, Behind the Locked Door. The story begins in the beautiful mountain region of Lake Mead, Arizona. A convertible car is speeding along a deserted road, which winds through the mountain. The car slows down, turns into a dirt road. A few minutes later, it comes to a stop before a small mountain lodge. Kathy Evans, an attractive girl in her early 20s, gets out of the car, runs up the steps of the lodge to the front door. She knocks impatiently, looking above anxiously. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Yes? Martin. Kathy. I thought I'd find you here. Aren't you going to ask me? No way, Kathy. Martin, what's wrong with you? No way. No way. Not until I find out what this is all about. Well, let me in. Are you alone? Alone? Yes. I want you, girl. You haven't shaved in days. Martin, those deep gashes on your naked face. How did you get them? It doesn't matter. Darling, you must have lost a great deal of blood. It's in your feverish. Yes, I know. Is it true about Professor Stephen? Yes. Why did you leave town so suddenly last night? The authorities are looking for you. Do they know I'm here? No. How could they? It was intuition that brought me here. They mustn't find me. Martin, nothing makes sense. You returned from an expedition last night alone, unexpected. You stay in town one hour and then vanish, not even phoning you. It's best that way. Believe me, Kathy. You've got to tell me everything that's happened. I can't, Kathy. I can't. I'm your fiance. I've got a right to know. Kathy, go away, please. I won't go away until you tell me what's happened. If I do, then will you go? Yes. I don't know where to begin. I suppose if you can say it had to be beginning it. It was that day a little over two weeks ago in Professor Stephen's office. Come in, Martin. Come in. Have a seat. Thank you, Professor. Martin, how would you like to go exploring with me for, say, 10 days and two weeks at the outside? Exploring where? There were a million cliffs along the Colorado River. I found some wonderful Aztec pieces there last summer. One large cave I stumbled on proved to be a venerable treasure trove. Yes, yes, I've seen those Aztec pieces in the University Museum. Now, the familiar cliffs still remain largely unexplored. I'm sure that we could turn up many more objects of interest. It certainly sounds intriguing. Only reason I hesitate, Professor, is because of Kathy. I'm sure she'd give you a two-week leave of absence. Yes, I suppose so. How many of us would go?  I find that the fewer there are on an expedition, the better. When would we leave? Well, what about the day after tomorrow? All right, Professor, I'm with you. So these are the familiar cliffs, Professor. Yes, an awe-inspiring sight, I'd say. There's breathtaking as the Grand Canyon itself. I have no idea they towered so high. Yes, they make you realize just how insignificant man really is. Now, this region is so desolate, Martin, that it's all but unexplored. That's why I'm drawn to a time and time again. Yes, I can understand that. It represents the challenge of the unknown. Careful, Martin, you'll get the exploring bug. Oh, I've already been bitten, Professor.  I'll have to start teaching you the fundamentals of the profession. Diane, it seems like a good spot. We'll camp here for the night. Well, it certainly is hot, Professor. The exploring isn't as easy as I thought. Ah. All right, Professor, what is it?   What about it? And that's a very peculiar landslide. If you carefully study the formation of it, what's peculiar about it? Many of the rocks look as though they'd been placed there by human hands. But why and by whom? Well, one of the ancient Aztec forms of punishment was to seal a person in a cave by means of a landslide or just piling heavy rocks in front of the mouth of a cave. That landslide, there must be hundreds of tons of rock there. And unfortunately, we're prepared for it. Is that why you brought the dynamite along? Yes. Probably all we'll find will be a skeleton. In that case, it'll have been a waste of dynamite. However, we'll chance it. Oh, Sam. What do you want? Get the case of dynamite, Sam. We're going to blast that landslide. Professor, better leave it the same way it be. Why? Evil spirit, sleep in cave. Better not wake him up. You really believe that, Martin? I wouldn't laugh. Sam may be uneducated, but he senses things that you and I can't even begin to comprehend. Now, wait a minute. You mean you believe what he said about evil being asleep in that cave? I wouldn't say that I believe it. But nevertheless, I respect Sam's opinion. But, Sam, I still want to blast that landslide. Hey, get the dynamite. Keep your head down, Martin. When I set that dynamite off, there are going to be a great many rocks flying around. Don't worry, Professor. I've got cover. Sam, you ready? Yes, Professor. All right. Here goes. Just safe now. Professor, I think you did it. I can see a small opening. It looks like a mouth of a cave. Yes, it is. Sam, let me have one of the flashlights. Martin, you take the other. I'll lead the way in. Just as you say, Professor. You seem too bad in here. What's that noise? Just rats scurrying around. Look at me, a huge cavern. Look at that ceiling. Must be 200 feet high. Look at the backs up there. Yes, huge ones. I have a feeling that this cavern and others have been sent for miles underground. Yes, Professor, look. Skeletons. Yes. There's another one over there. Yes. Let's see what else there is. Wagon frames. What? Good Lord. Sam's right, it's a wagon frame. A wagon frame? Yes. Good Lord. Look, there's at least 30 or 40 wagons in this cavern. Look, skeletons of horses. Here's a skeleton with an arrow beside it. Let me see it. It has to be a Navajo arrow. What do you think, Sam? Navajo? Professor, this wagon frame. What's it all mean? Many years ago, this wagon frame was attacked by Indians. Wagon frame retreated into this cavern, hoping to save themselves that way. Then the Indians caused the landslides to live. Yes. Good, devils. What's that old gun lying there? It's a slingslock. It seems to suggest that this wagon frame must be at least 100 years old. Probably headed for the California Gold Rush of 1848. Yes. Well, we'll come back tomorrow to fix this wagon frame, apparently. I'm sure we'll find many things of great interest. The next morning, after an early breakfast, Sam and I followed Professor Stevens back into the cavern. We spent the morning investigating the trunks and boxes we found on the wagons and among the moldy clothing and 101 household articles we found faded letters and newspapers which showed the wagon train that crossed the Mississippi in the summer of 1849. Headed west for California and gold. We finished rummaging among the effects of the wagons and the Professor suggested we explore the cavern. We followed him from one cavern to another each varying in size. Now, and then the Professor would stop to mark our trail for the caverns where honeycombs would come with passageways. A party you think we've come, Professor? I should say we're about a mile from the wagon train. We'll go back a few more minutes. We'll go back now in this place, evil. Sam, if there are ghosts here, there's only the ghosts of the people in the wagon train. I tell you, evil, feel it. All right, we'll go back. We'll go just a little further and turn back. Professor, wait a minute. What is it, Martin? I think I hear running water. Yes, you're right. Come along. We seem to be getting closer. Well, I'm not... Well, there it is. Yes, it's a small river. Look how swiftly it's flowing. Yeah. This probably flows for miles underground and empties into the Colorado River. Hey, Professor, here on the bank, is a tremendous pile of fish bones. Yes, though there is. What? There are even more on the other side of the river. What are these huge piles of fish bones being? It's very same. How do you account for it? I'm afraid that at the moment I can't. Sam, you any ideas about it? He is going to throw around us to feel him strong. Professor, he's similar. Sam, there's nothing to be afraid of. Look, I'll sign a flashlight around, please. We've been watched. Watched. What are you talking about? I won't stay here. Sam, come back. You haven't even got a flashlight. Sam! Come on, Mark, we've got the catch. Wait for us. I can still hear a footsteps. We've got the catch here. It seems we're running in the dark like that. Sam! Wait for us. This way. It's probably broken his leg. Sam, where are you? Keep shining the flashlight around. Can't be much further. Just sitting against that boulder. Just have a dance. Sam, give me a hand with your heart. God bless. There must be an explanation. There has to be. I have a fear. Incredible. I can't bring myself to voices. Tell me what you think I'm insane. Tell me! What if the people of the Wagon Train are rather the descendants of alive here in these huge caverns? That's impossible. Why? Picture what happened today. The 150 people are so sealed into this mountain with the Indians. What would have been the first thing they'd have done to try to dig their way out? Exactly. They start digging and find that 100 ton boulders blocking the entrance and they have no dynamite. They're forced to give up, yes. The day is looking for another way out. Fail to find one. The day comes when all their food is gone. Starvation sets in.  Not necessarily. The strongest of them stumble along in the darkness who find the underground river. They catch an abundant of fish and are able to survive. The huge fishbone fires along the riverfront. The river was an everlasting supply of food. They continue to live by the river in the dark. Probably went insane. Dark. Others adjusted themselves to their new environment. Professor, do you think those handful of survivors had descendants who were alive today inside this mountain? Yes, Martin. And it was one of them who clawed sand to death. What can those descendants be like? Being born and living in darkness? I can only guess. I should imagine they'd be blind or near to it. But there are other senses that be remarkably developed. The physical appearance. I don't know. It's all like a nightmare. A nightmare you can't awaken from. What's to prevent them from attacking us? And are flashlights for one thing? I'm sure light frightens them. This is fire frightens animals. Fortunately, I have a revolver. Well, we better move on. Wait a minute, what about sand? Nothing we can do for him now. Come along, Martin. We must find the trail I marked so that we can get out of here. It seems we've been searching days for the markings you left. Yes. Actually, it's been ten hours. Bless you, boy. Come along. Once we reach the river, we'll be able to pick up the trail I marked. We're getting closer. Yes. There it is. Here we are. Look, Martin, there's my marking on the passage. We found the trail. Yes. Martin, to A.M. We'd better rest for a few hours. We're both too exhausted to go on right now. It's one of the same guide. I'll have to sleep. All right. I'll set up the first hour. Thank you, Martin. Keep the flashlight on. Don't worry. I will. In a matter of minutes, the professor fell asleep. I sat on guard, flashing my light slowly around the huge cabin. I looked at my watch in the second seat like minutes and minutes like hours.  Suddenly, I awakened in the darkness to hear the professor scream. I was in the darkness, but I couldn't find it. And suddenly, there was a shot. I could see the professor struggling with a huge, dark figure. Suddenly, it all was quiet, except for the professor's movement. As I crawled toward it, in the darkness, my hand struck the flashlight. I turned it on and there was the photo. Martin, I think I'm wounded. You're bleeding badly. Let me touch you. Please. Come on. Come on. What about you? Professor? Professor! I felt his heart, but there was no beat. I staggered to my feet, shined my flashlight around until I found the professor's mark. I stumbled weirdly along the marked passageway, trying not to remember my last glimpse of the professor's face. I hadn't gone on the hundred yards when suddenly my flashlight flickered and went out. I stood alone in the darkness. In that scampering past, I fought to keep from screaming. The darkness seemed to become heavier and more oppressive with each passing moment, and I had the feeling something was silently approaching. I backed up against the passage wall, waited my eyes straining in the darkness, and then suddenly I was leaped upon by a wild fury.  Again and again, I started to feel the blood streaming down my face and neck. Then suddenly, the deathly clawing ceased as my attacker turned to ward off something in the dark. As I sank to my knees, I was dimly aware of a fierce fight taking place between men and women.  I winched in pain as the water flowed into the deep cut milk. Suddenly I remembered all. And remembered all. I became aware of the calloused hand washing my face in the presence of someone beside me in the darkness. Who are you? For a moment I am hesitated, then resume washing my neck. Well, can't you speak? Say something! Ah... I know you. It's true that there's more than that of an animal than a human being. If I can only see you. Do you have a name? I've been to repeat the word name, though I couldn't be sure. And faint from the loss of blood I closed my eyes and fell asleep. When I awoke, my face and neck felt stiff and painful. It seemed a sense I was awake for as I opened my eyes and stared into the darkness that came to my side. Can't you understand anything at all? Don't my words make any sense to you? Why did you save my life? Brushed against its hand and I could feel sharp claw-like fingers on it. I reached out from the darkness as I touched its face and bit my hand. I tried to get to my feet but it placed a strong hand on my shoulder and held me down. At that moment I realized that not only was it my savior but my jailer's weapon. I lost all track of time. Now and then it would leave me. I would cautiously get to my feet to steal off but no sooner had I taken more than a few steps and it would be there at my side forcing me to return to the bank of the river. I spent my every waking moment trying to think of a way to escape and then when my despair was greatest an idea came to me. The professor had said that the underground river I laid beside emptied into the Colorado River though the odds were a hundred to one to get my surviving I knew it was the only possible way of escape. Slowly I crawled a few remaining feet to the edge of the river and leaning over started to wash my face. I could sense that it was watching me. I leaned forward a few inches more and fell into the river. As I came up there in the swift flowing water I heard a flash beside me. A moment later I felt it flying around me. The current swept us along with breathtaking speed and as we clung to each other I discovered that it couldn't swim. For what seemed ours the river swept us along in the darkness and I felt myself losing consciousness as I attempted to keep the two of us above water. When I regained consciousness Kathy was lying on a sandbar in the Colorado River and the sun was beating down on it. Calling your delirious view you need a doctor. I wish I wish it were simple as all that. Your favorite you need kids.  How can I leave you alone like this? Don't you understand I'm not alone. Yes. Didn't I tell you it turned out to be a she. Out of your mind you don't know what you're saying. First time lying unconscious on that sandbar my first instinct was to leave her there but how could I? She saved my life in the cavern and then jumped into the river when she thought I was drowning even though she couldn't swim herself.  As I was dependent on her in the dark she's dependent on me in the light. She's blind she can't speak yet she. You can't believe it's true can you Kathy? Neither could I at first. What are you staring at? Is there anyone in that bedroom? Well I'll soon find out. Why is the door locked? She's in there.  I'll prove to you there's no one in that room. It's just your imagination. Give me the key to the door. Kathy go away. Thank you. That's when you see the room is empty you'll be willing to return to town for medical treatment. There. I told you. What's that madam? You want a description of what Kathy saw when she opened that bedroom door? Well you might ask Kathy. The trouble is the poor girl gets hysterical when you question her about the occupant of that bedroom. I suggest you write a letter to the Museum of Horrors for a full description. They consider the woman of the mountain as their star exhibit. Because when she... Oh you'll have to get off here I'm sorry. I'm sure we'll meet again.

My name is Philly beats you and let's not waste any more of your time and get right into this so that you can make yourselves some perfect IV Pokemon. One of the items that you're going to need for breeding or to pump out a lot of eggs fast is the oval charm and you get the oval charm by going over into your map to the town called Sir Chester. And once you arrive, head all the way down to the front of the town where you will find both little hotels. Go to the hotel on the left, take the elevator right up, then make a left and then go into the door that you run across first. You'll then encounter an officer named Mr. Morimoto and he'll try to test your skill and give you an item. You'll encounter a battle with him and then once you beat Game Freaks Morimoto, you will then be able to be rewarded with what is known as the oval charm. What the oval charm does is increases the chances of Pokemon in a daycare producing an egg. So the next item that we need on our list for breeding is the Destiny Knot. Now the Destiny Knot is a very important item that will guarantee that the parents will pass on five IVs to the child. The IVs are chosen individually from either parent. It doesn't matter which parent holds this. The second thing to note is that the IVs chosen are random from each parent. One time you might get four from the father, one from the mother and another time you might just get three from the mother, two from the father and so on. The IV not chosen will be generated normally. Thus it is possible to generate a full IV in this case as well. So fly over to Hammerlock in the center and go to the first Pokemon center that you see. When you enter that Pokemon center, you're going to go to the right and you'll see a lady there. You're going to talk to her and she's going to give you the options of the BP shop. And in that, you will see that you will have the power bracer, the power belt, the power lens, the power band, the power anglet, the power weight and your Destiny Knot. Other items that may be important to you if you are breeding are the power bracer, the power belt, the power lens, the power band, the power anglet and the power weight. Now let me explain power items to you guys. They will guarantee the specific stat IV from the holding parent is passed on. If you decide to use this in conjunction with the Destiny Knot, the power items affected stat is counted against the five copied by the Destiny Knot. The items include the power bracer, which will make sure that the attack IV is passed down from the parent, the power belt, which will make sure the defense is passed down from the parent, the power lens, which will make sure the special attack is passed down from the parent, the power band, which allows you to pass down special defense from the parent, the power anglet, which helps you pass down speed from the parent. The power weight item helps you transfer the HP IV stat from that Pokemon down. Another item that you can use for breeding is the Everstone. You've probably already encountered an Everstone by now because they're all over the floors in this game. They're the little sparkly objects you encounter as you explore the Galar region. The Everstone does is guarantee that the baby will have the exact same nature as the parent that holds it. Now, a lot of these items can be bought with battle points and you can get battle points in the battle tower by battling lots of people. Now, Everstones aren't as important in the game as previous Pokemon games because in Pokemon Sword and Shield, they have now introduced a new item called Mince and Mince basically can change the nature of your Pokemon and shift those stats completely towards that preferred nature. Now, some of you might be wondering, what are Pokemon natures? Let me tell you about them. A Pokemon's nature basically increases one stat while decreasing another stat. For example, I can have a Pokemon with increased attack and reduced special attack. Or I can have a Pokemon with increased defense and decreased speed.  Totally, there are 25 natures in total. Four natures that don't affect any of the stats are hardy, docile, serious, bashful, and quirky. The rest all increase or decrease a stat by about 10% on a Pokemon. Let's say for example, you had a really strong Pokemon with a strong attack and a really low special attack and you just felt like saying, I just want to make this Pokemon a much more stronger attacker. So what you're going to do is try to get the adamant nature on that Pokemon, which will then increase its attack further and reduce its special attack even more than it originally was on that Pokemon. And if for some reason you end up getting the incorrect nature in Pokemon Sword and Shield, again, you can just use a mint to change their original nature. Okay, now let's talk Pokemon stats. Pokemon has six stats. HP, attack, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed.  Speed determines how fast your Pokemon is going to move in battle, and HP determines how tanky your Pokemon actually is and how much it can withstand on top of it with its defense. So now that we have all our tools, what we're going to need is a ditto to start off with.  Make sure to give ditto the destiny knot in order to pass on ditto's IVs to the other Pokemon. And the Pokemon that you're going to breed it with will be the desired Pokemon that you want. Now, if the Pokemon that you desire has the correct nature, you're going to want to give it the Everstone so that it can pass on its nature while getting the IVs at the same time so that your babies for these Pokemon can be the correct nature as well as having good IVs. Now, if it doesn't have the nature you want, then just give that Pokemon to the ditto RNG until you get the nature you want, and then you can stick the Everstone on it afterwards. Now, if for some reason you get a child that has high IVs but doesn't have the correct nature, no worries, you can just go get the mint from the Battle Point Stadium and change it there for 50 BP. So you'll be leaving your Pokemon in either the Route 5 daycare or in the Wild Area daycare. Now, when eggs do show up in that specific daycare center, the lady in front will motion and change her hand so you know that the egg is ready. Now, once you collect all your eggs and start hatching them, you want to do it as fast as possible. I've also made a video on how to hatch eggs as fast as possible. You can check that out here. Alright guys, if you enjoyed this video, make sure to subscribe, like the video and let me know down in the comments below what you plan on breeding and what other tutorials you want to see in Pokemon Sword and Shield. My name is Philly Beats you and I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
