Wednesday it is a Wednesday. It is a windy Wednesday here in Pittsburgh But we're happy that you decided to join us here on Hope Today I am Corey and this is Tom and we're gonna talk about some very very Significant topics to get today, but first I want to say again, even though it's the 10th day in January Happy New Year again I hope that you have setting some new systems and some new goals in your life as we go through Some people do a New Year's resolution, but I want to call it like a New Year's revolution Where you're continually putting yourself in a position to fight against old habits old systems because you have a vision for your life I know I have a vision for my life. What about you Tom? You have a vision for this year specifically some personal things I mean some personal goals. I mean I had mentioned last week. We joined the gym You know along with everybody. I mean we were down there January 1st the first day you know we're down there and You know in the summer we're always bike riding but in the winter we lay about too much, you know So it's gonna be good and you know always to read the word of God To pray and to lift things up more and you know you talk about windy I can hear you know you guys can't hear it, but we can hear the wind is whipping outside here And I don't know if that's an end times prophetic thing, but we're gonna be talking about that You know Jesus told us to be aware of the times and the seasons But as Christians, what can we do in the situation? We find ourselves. How do we live that out? Well, Jordan Wells is gonna be with us. He's written a novel called the messengers Unlock ancient secrets that could hold the key to the future of America So we're gonna be talking with Jordan talking about that about the book and about What he sees as the prophetic timeline that we're on it's gonna be a great discussion Yeah, and this is a very very valuable time to be able to hear from the Lord because I just really feel like and you may Feel that as a believer that God is really really calling his ones that are to him his sheep He's really really calling them more than ever And so there's things in your life that you have been just you know Just playing with flirting with God is really calling for those things to come into a surrender He's saying hey, listen, you know, there's been grace and sometimes we get a little bit, you know over Gracie Okay, we like well well thank God and God forgive me But at this time God is really calling for repentance and surrender of some things So we hope that today's topic today would really bring in a fire inside of you as we discuss more So we got a game we do so you use you said the word surrender Well, we're not gonna surrender right now because we're gonna place thump the host So you need to play along with us. We have not seen these questions We have not been prepped in any way and these are revelation and end times questions So Lord help us. Here's the first one to whom was the book of revelation addressed to? Okay, okay now There were several churches. There were the seven churches. Those are the first three chapters, you know or the first few chapters there were the seven churches You want to go with that? Well, I'm thinking that because I mean Jesus started talking about the candle lights being extinguished So he was Generally talking about that. I know he's speaking to everyone, but I would I would say those seven churches That was a representation say the seven churches Including the church in Philadelphia He's talking to Pennsylvania even that Yeah, because we need it. We need it. All right, here we go. So in revelation chapter 10 What did John do with the little book that was given to him by the angel? He ate it. He ate it. He ate it, right? We're gonna say is our final answer. He ate it You know it was sweet, but it it was sweet to take but then it was bitter bitter in the stomach. Yeah Interesting stuff. Yes, Cory. He's got his revelation down here ready. Let's go with our last one here I hope you're playing along a great wonder appeared in heaven. It was a woman clothed with the Sun What was her crown made from? Wow What was it? What was her crown made from you got anything here? Can I get a hit? Let's read that again a great wonder appeared in heaven. It was a woman clothed with the Sun. What was her crown made from? Let's say I don't know the prayers of the saints. I have no idea. That would be the prayers of the saints or would it be would it be like a Mark not marble Pearl no no wasn't we're gonna go with your answer I have to plead ignorance on that one. I was not getting that. Well, I enjoyed that Listen now, let's let's now check in with sydney and see what she has coming up on this week's edition of the glory hour Hey family, it is sydney here and I am super excited for episode five of the glory hour We are getting into the power and the prayer of fasting for breakthrough. I'm so excited because we have dr Jennifer at miscoff. She's joining us She's gonna break down how the sacred spiritual practice is a super natural gateway So we can fast that we experience and encounter the glory of god How it leads us into consecration of being baptized in the fire of the holy spirit And also she gets into which is very sobering how fasting prepares us for persecution I wasn't ready to hear that but it was really deep what she was sharing and I believe that insight will even Speak something into the inside of you to know why now is the time in the hour that god wants us to draw closer to him And one of the best ways is through developing not just a practice of fasting But a lifestyle of fasting you're gonna hear more about her lifestyle of fasting and what is birth in her life It's really inspiring and also we're gonna talk a little bit about how the oil of the holy spirit comes forth when we get crushed And how that is necessary the crushing the breaking the crisis is in our lives Draws us closer to god because you know what y'all god is calling us now more than ever before to be hungry To seek after him because he is on the move revival is happening There's an awakening of the holy spirit and outpouring like never before and it is time for us to get on god's times table It's time for us to be laid down lovers of the holy spirit to surrender all So that we can be empty vessels that we can go out and be the light and share the good news of jesus So y'all it's gonna be good prayer and fasting for breakthrough Don't miss it coming up today on wednesday at 3 p.m On cornerstone tells you networks youtube channel and as always it streams After that too so if you can't check catch it at 3 p.m Be sure to catch it later and share it with your friends too.

Thank you for having me Well, uh before we get to the book and i'm fascinated that you wrote it as a novel because I love novels I mean, I love I love, you know just uh seeing where where they go But let me ask you about your own life your own spiritual background Well, um, I was saved at 18. I had a drug overdose Um overdosed on uh k2 I grew up in church, but fell away from the lord got into drugs partying You know all the horrible things that teenagers do and god just uh would begin to call me to preach about 17 years Old and I was like jones. I ran from the call of god. So I don't want to be no preacher. They don't make no money I remember somebody tell me that you know because my dad, you know, he you know He was kind of you know, he sold drugs and so I was always around money And so I said I don't want to I don't want to be no preacher. I thought all preachers just broke They just walk around, you know and serve the church and so I said I don't want to do that Somebody said you gonna be a preacher when you get I said I don't want to be a preacher They don't make no money but god got got a hold of me and uh, I had an overdose on k2 and I heard the voice of god say uh to preach the gospel and tell my people i'm coming back to him and prepare the way and um I said lord if you don't you know, if you save me, I'll preach the gospel and I did 18 from 18 years old on I've been preaching the gospel uh now over a decade and uh, you know preaching all around the world now And I just appreciate god for how he saved me because I tell him if he can save me he can save anybody Yeah, I love that.  I wasn't the supernatural person I wasn't this I had a basic childhood when it comes to uh, just you know With the church every now and then they can't remember one sermon I heard growing up in church Um, you know, but I always had a love for the lord And when I got saved I remember I was dating this girl was us Moved out at home at a young age.   He said the uh, david said I called on the lord He answered me He heard my prayer and he heard my prayer and I just fell in love with jesus and I've been It's been a love affair ever since love.  I got kicked out every I got kicked out of several high schools. I was fighting. I got expelled from schools I was literally my own father told me you would be either dead in jail Um, that's my child was that was that was what I experienced and so you know, he didn't say that to be me It was just a path I was on you know, I wanted to be popular I just you know, and um, but god, you know, he He he saves the most least likely they choose the foolish thing that this world to confound the wise You know, I just have to say this There's probably somebody watching that has felt that suicidal thing pull on him We know that's a real problem among young people now that has feelings those You know the hopelessness. What would you say to that person? What would you say that person about hope? I would say that jesus is the is is really you can have a I think what I had to realize is that you can have a personal With jesus because sometimes the church preaches about a person like he's not a person You know, it's almost like a church language, but I've met a person in my room I I met a person a real person that gives you the presence of god And I fell in love with a person in his presence his presence the bible says in his presence Is fullness of joy? So I have a joy that the world can't take from me No matter what we see going on in our country No matter what we see going on our own personal life the joy of god has been consistent in my life And I've went through some crazy stuff even being saved and being in ministry But the lord's joy his presence is what I eat on every morning every day throughout the day I don't never leave fellowship with god. I've been fellowship god with y'all You know, he's with me now and so I think when young people understand that what you're looking for you can't find in drugs You can't find in sexual relationships You can't find any of those that you only can find it in jesus christ and the presence of the holy spirit And so so jordan being young and I actually started in ministry at a young age I was I was 15 years old did it for 19 years. I was young as pk parents or pastors and everything like that How have you been able to? Walk through your walk in ministry, but also deal with the the humanism The aspects of pressure and stuff like that How have you been able to walk with god in that process of him sanctifying you because you know that takes time How has your relationship with god been going through ministry and also letting him sanctify your life? Well, I think the the thing that that helped me was That I grew up seeing a lot of hypocrisy in church um And so when I got saved I was almost so god I have a personality where I'm like either hot or cold. I don't do the middle thing I'm either hot or cold. You know, I have like a addictive personality You know when I'm in some I'm in it and it helps me kind of so I haven't been perfect But I think one thing is that I was mentored right? A woman of god won me to the lord who's a nurse. She was a holy woman. I mean, I never seen her I mean if she said I haven't seen it, you know, she was one of those people, you know Like a modern day mother teresa, you know, but um, she taught me about holiness She taught me about the lord and loving jesus and I would say for me It's always gone back to that even when I made mistakes even when I Falling short of his glory as we all do, you know, one thing is consistent when you're in love with a person The bible says if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. So loving jesus if you do it religiously, it's not gonna work This is too hard to do in your own strength You have to love jesus with everything more than your mother more than your parents more than everything in this world It can't even compare to loving him. And so when you love him like that Every it becomes it not easy, but even if you slip you're like, I can't stay there Because yeah, he's a man. I'm on a race And you know when you're racing on a hundred meter, your your goal is the finish line And you have to be fixated on that if you're not You'll be caught up on this and that and this and that and this doctrine and that doctrine He said the winds of doctrine the policy, you know the apostles say the winds of doctrine And and so my my father said I I have a goal That's to win as many people to lord as I can before he returns No, you had said something. I'm sorry.  Once all of a sudden jordan is like, yo jordan going to church Jordan fasted jordan preach it like what's going on? Was it was it weird for friends and family when they're like, yo What's really happened in your life and things like that? How has that impacted your family your change for god? Well, it impacted my family Not as much in the beginning because I I had I was actually diagnosed with adhd grown up And so most people thought I would never but I had teachers say you'll never be anything You you know, I think I couldn't read you they think I they thought I mean I was always smart But I was you know class clown and so They didn't they I went through like six different colleges or universities I would go to college drop out go to so they thought it was just another fat, you know to be honest And it took a while for my lifestyle But then my brother I tell a story my brothers and the cousin they picked me up to go to a party And I still was trying to be you know in the out of the world But I was still trying to be in the work because I didn't want to lose everybody You know like a lot of young people So I go in the car. I have my suit on and I have a big bible I took it to the club We're on our way to the club And I'm yelling at them to turn down the music and they dropped me back off at home So that that kind of sums up now My my relationship with god because god has publicly You know shown his glory people everywhere I have cousins reaching out for ministry and people who are still in my cousin that was literally in the drug lifestyle Selling drugs what he reached out to me for a personal counseling ministry session gave his life to christ My mom's relationship got a lot stronger with the lord my brothers My cousins jump on my it's on my youtube live my facebook lives My whole family has been transformed by my relationship with god because One thing about jordan is i'm never going to be ashamed of the gospel of jesus christ I'm a voice crying out in the wilderness not just out anywhere I go. I'm a voice even in my own household So that's just me. Well, I love that. I love that You know your whole this is a great base for what we're going to talk about because this is what really matters right Each person we're going to talk about the end times here But your relationship with god is what the main thing that we're starting we want to start from Is that you that what you would know him that you would love him that you would have that Knowing all about the end times isn't going to matter if you don't have jesus says your lord's savior That's what's gonna matter So let me ask you about let me ask you about the messenger. Why did you write this as a novel? Again, I think it's a great idea a lot of people write books about the end times or prophetic things Why why is the novel because I think that jesus is our it's just i'm so amazed by the ministry of jesus And how he taught parables You know parables was a what jesus sometimes will say some very hard things And I don't think we understand some of the things he said in those parables And that's why he would say a parable then when he would explain it everybody walk away when he would Initially say the parable people would receive it and they would be all wow that was wonderful teaching But in when he would break down what the parable actually means This said the crowds would then out So parables so a novel for me was a way to release what god was showing me for america And this generation in a way that people can understand it and receive it people love a good story people love a good drama So I felt like god gave it to me I was writing it and it was coming out like I wasn't liking how it was sounding And so god told me write it as a novel Write it in a story take people on a journey throughout history the history of israel the history of america The history of the church and take people on a on a walk and then release prophetic truths Throughout the story of different characters biblical figures that we know that we all can relate to So how's that applied to the everyday christian? So we've got the everyday christian Going to church trying to make ends meet trying to follow the lord How's your book and the prophetic message applied to that person? Well one of the the Core purposes of the messengers is that we all are called to be a messenger Um, of course, we know that messengers in the bible where you know the old testament prophets But everybody has is not a prophet, but people have a prophetic message You can be a prophetic message on a messenger on your workplace on your job You can be a prophetic messenger in anywhere you can be a doctor But really the prophetic message about being a first day a prayer warrior A person that prays a person that spends time with the lord Really about being an intercessor a person that prays because right now in america more than anything right now We need prayer We need people that are a watchman on the wall people that are praying for this country praying for revival praying for This generation to be saved we see all the statistics about what's happening Here the economy and different things that are going on But I believe the the the the job and responsibility of the body of christ Is to be to be praying in this hour more than any other time because I believe god can still Change our youth save our youth bring revival to our nation And that's what the messengers really is is a message of revival It's about being a message of hope A message that in the midst of all the doom and gloom people that are people saying this and that What's the future of this and this I try to hit it from a different perspective Yes, I give people the end time perspective of what's coming. I'm not oblivious to that But at the same time, what are we supposed to be doing because the bible says we are to occupy until he comes We're not supposed to crawl in a bunker somewhere and just pray that jesus raptures us out of here We're supposed to be actively engaged and praying and fasting We have a movement called the joe two generation off of joe Which is talks about praying and fasting for revival that whole book is about an end time book about praying and fasting for revival The main character in the book is named ester. What is ester known for?  Well, there's an attack against the church right now There's a cultural attack. There's an attack against truth But the esters led everybody on a three-day fast and everybody began to pray Then she said you are called for a time such as this and I believe my message to the church is that we are called For a time such as this. This is our greatest hour This is our time for the church to arise to become the church of jesus christ to stand in our place like ester And to pray and fast for this nation to be to be changed and to even prepare the church for the days ahead You know what that's absolutely powerful What you're saying and I just want to talk to you about some things that god has been speaking to you right now Even in correlation to the book that you know 2024 seems already like like a year of exposure Right and and when we say exposure, I don't know if you've seen any of the cat williams discussion Club shea and everything like that where he really began to just Un uncover a lot of mistruths that have been said But I was looking at through spiritual eyes as well in regards to There being a lot of ministries that haven't been operating fully As the ministries that god has really called them to be like even in revelations We were playing the game, you know Stumped the guest where we were you know, who is jesus talking to in that the seven churches You know he was saying many senses if you don't change this we're going to extinguish your candlestick What do you feel god is speaking in this gender this time 2024 What should the church be doing right now to prepare the way and to occupy? Well, this is a time of exposing and I always tell people that god is raising up God will use anybody he'll use a donkey use balum And god will use anybody and when I say that people get offended But the thing is god will use anybody and I believe he's and even cat williams spoke He said there was the exposure and I prophesied and I released the word that god was exposing Why does god expose god exposes so that everything that is hidden can be Brought to the surface so that can be repentant so that can be transformation God is not only exposing because there's been a lot of people doing church But we it's time to become the church and so god is exposing because we thought that it was just I told people god don't need our help to win souls And so god is it's going to be exposing this is going to be the greatest year of exposure Because god wants to bring back two things to the church. He wants to bring back prayer And he wants to bring back the fear of the lord With the fear of the lord comes the glory of god And I believe the church is entering the greatest hour of glory But we there's got to be a shaking before glory god always shakes before the glory comes Because the if you read hosea, he said the temple the ladder glory would be greater than the former So I believe that's what god is preparing us for you know, yes, the world's going to be shaking I really I believe there's going to be a lot of things for us to pray about You know, there's going to be an exposure like cat williams said like a lot of the prophetic voices said like I prophesied exposure You know the shaking that's coming all those things in the economy and different things But what is the church supposed to be doing the church is supposed to be on the wall The church is supposed to be praying fasting in the preaching the gospel I believe this is going to be some of the greatest time of evangelism and harvest we've ever seen This is going to be some because people are when the midst of the chaos that's going to be going on in our country They're looking for like and it was a famous what happened With a leader, you know, with with stuff that happened It was some you know controversy that went on with what a leader did in this church And somebody reached out to me and said I was on my way back to church, but I saw that video and I'm not going So we're actually trying to become more like the world to win the world But I'm gonna tell you as a person that was in every lifestyle you can name It wasn't that that drew me to god It was the raw presence and power of jesus that won me. We don't need to make jesus We don't need to dumb down jesus Jesus his presence is enough And I think the church's message the true church because there's going to be two churches There's an apostate church that we're going to see and this church is going to compromise They're going to give themselves over to false doctrine false teaching that's in the book as well Then there's going to be a true church that church is called the remnant church And they're going to carry the glory and they're going to carry a message of truth I was going to ask you about the remnant because we want to be that right now We want to be that why don't you take that we just have about two minutes left in the show Why don't you look into that camera right there and speak to someone who says Maybe they don't know the lord or maybe they've been turned off to church Speak to them what god has for them. Well, I just feel like there might be somebody watching me right now and You might be suicidal. I feel that in my spirit right now. There's somebody watching me.  It's not too late This is going to be a year of restoration for many people where things you lost in 2023 you lost your marriage You lost your business your business maybe was affected by the economy somebody watching me You said I lost my business my business hasn't been the same since kovat my church hasn't been the same But I believe by the spirit of god that god is right now is releasing hope to people that 2024 is going to be your greatest year 2024 is going to be your breakthrough for your marriage your marriage is going to be restored Your family is going to be restored somebody else is watching me I feel like your children your children have walked away from the lords you That you've been praying for them and praying for them and you say god as you get closer return I want my family to be safe god says he's saving families.  This is your time. This is your season Wow Well, we're out of time Even though the lord is never out of time. Okay, uh, jordan. Thank you so much for being with us Powerful.

T.F.N.N. Headline News Update. Welcome folks. We have the Dow Industrial's down 12, Nasdaq off seven, S&Ps off two, but you know where the S&P would take a look at that first, what you're going to see is this, folks, is that the bottom line is that what you did do yesterday, you back down, you had volume on the back down, and guess what folks, what you have out here today, you've got a rejection of lower price. We take, with dramatically lighter volume also. We back this down up into Tuesday, what you're going to see inside the S&P, you made a high and the spy was 67 million. We came down yesterday with 79, guess what, you're only at 32 million, low of yesterday was 30906, you got the 309, 39, that's saying this market's still not done, I expect what you're going to see here out here tomorrow, this thing's going to go for the highs once again. That's on your spy, NDX100 is set up the same way, NDX is actually what was leading the market lower yesterday. The NDX had doubled the amount of volume on the way down, bottom line, the 3Qs had made a high out here, on Tuesday at 20383, you had anemic volume, 16.9 million, you came down yesterday with 36, today you only have 14, bottom line with those set up, particularly when you're coming in at the end of the week and you're kicking into a holiday week, Thanksgiving next week, bottom line, this is going to go test the highs again. Go contract, go contract down $9.20 at 377,000 contracts, now bottom line is that you're not near a swing point, but that is an expansion of volume, so bottom line you want to keep your eye on that gold market. Now here's the divergence, the divergence is huge inside the note and bond market folks and this is what it is, notes as well as bonds went to higher price in today, monster volume. 2.3 million contracts inside the 10-year, we hit 130.02, we're at 129.15, when that happens most times what you're going to see, you pull back a little further, then guess what, you're going right for these highs once again which is the 130.02, so bottom line, note and bond market has not given it up, not even close to be given it up actually, we take a look at the 30-year, you're going to see huge volume of the 30-year also, 335,000 contracts up there, if we go over to Kingdala, you're going to see Kingdala still building cause to get to the lower end of its consolidation, right now Kingdala's up 63 ticks, 97,997. Stay right there folks, coming back with like 60 minutes of trading and as I said a little bit earlier, you get light volume, you're backing down into the lows of yesterday, rejected the lows of yesterday, that's telling me we're going to be flat and if this thing might just go green as we're coming into close, come right back.


Decorators. Oops, put this on. So decorators. Decorators are useful. Decorators are easy to implement. Or are they? So decorators. Basically it's using the the act syntax there on the second function. Easy to construct a decor supposedly by creating another function which has an inner closure function. So most people would know about how to do that and they think it's all well and good, but that breaks introspection. Okay? Name and doc attributes are not preserved. So if you're going to start using help on doc strings it doesn't work. Doesn't func tools RAPS help this? No, it doesn't solve all the problems. Now it gets very complicated as to why and I'm definitely not going to go into this. I have killed people by doing a talk on this topic before. So all the details is covered on my blog. There's a series of about 12 posts on this. Like most people do an introductory decorator talk. Great! They have one little blog post this. I've got a dozen of them. Okay? Lots of traps. So please don't implement decorators yourself. Okay? What is the solution? Use RAPT. Okay? It's not much different.  You can do lots of fancy things with this.  Now one of the big problems in decorators is that it's very hard to write one decorator which can be applied to both a normal function and a member function of a class. RAPT allows that. There is ways in it you can tell if your wrapper has been applied to a normal function. A method of a class. A class method. Or it's the other one, static? Static method. Or now it's a class itself. There's a lot of magic going on. So if you don't trust me, why would you use it? I keep getting pestered to have RAPT rolled into the standard library. So I have people who in the core contributors for Python who think it's really good. So it must be awesome. You can find all docs or what docs there is upon read the docs. There should be lots and lots more because it's more than just a decorator library. You can do a whole lot of stuff and do monkey patching as well which is actually the original reason I created it. And if you're lucky, this is currently my fourth trip to Singapore this year but I'm back here again in a few weeks time and I've been talking to Martin about possible talk. So if we can get a meetup group happening please come along if you're interested in this. I think it was the 19th. It's the only day I'll be able to do it so if feelings come together that's when it would be. Which is I think a Tuesday. Thank you.


Welcome back to the trade hacker mindset. In this episode, we are going to talk about the number one reason why traders fail. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the trade hacker mindset. All right, so let's jump into our discussion of the number one reason why traders fail. Now, I'm going to say this topic up front, but please don't turn the podcast off.  This has nothing to do with me. But please follow through and listen because this is very helpful. And hopefully I could put a little bit of different spin on it and relate it to the mindset of trading to help you become a better trader. So the number one reason that traders fail is position size. There's no question about it. It's not the strategy. It's not the service they follow. It's not the indicator that they don't know about. It's none of those things. The number one reason that traders fail is because they trade too large. And here's the thing. If you trade too large, and there's two different ways that you can think about this from a position size standpoint. If you trade too large for your account size and if you trade too large for your risk tolerance. Now the account size is simple. And it depends on the strategy. It depends on the type of trading that you're doing. It depends on the amount of leverage that you might be using. But when we are trading options, which are naturally leveraged financial instruments, you don't want to be using all of your capital. And so we always talk about when you're trading options, only trade up to 5% of your account value on any one position. And trade less than 50% of your overall account. So you've got 50% in a cash reserve and you're trading small size so that you overall only 5% per position, max, and 50% in your capital. Now when I say that, invariably, what a new trader will do is they automatically think, okay, I need to be trading 5%. And that's not what I said. Listen to what I'm saying. When I said this, you can trade up to 5%, okay? There's many times in trades that we take where I'm putting on positions with a half a percent or 1% or 2% of my account size. So it doesn't automatically mean you load up and do 5% every time. I'm saying that is the max that you should be trading per position size, okay? And then the same thing with account value, no more than 50%. There's nothing wrong with trading 20 or 25 or 30% of your account value. You don't have to ramp it up to always be at that 50%. That is a max. That is a limit. So make sure that you are using those as a parameter.  I don't care if your strategy is terrible. I don't care if you don't know what you're doing.  You're going to have a very hard time ever suffering a loss too large to handle or risk blowing out your account if you follow those risk parameters.  Okay, this is how it affects your mindset. One, you start to doubt the strategy or if you're using a specific indicator or following a specific guru or a newsletter or service or trade alerts or whatever it is, if you suffer a loss that's too big, all of a sudden you're going to start doubting that strategy or doubting that methodology or doubting that system or doubting that indicator or whatever it is that you use. You're going to start to blame it on external factors like the market did it to you or maybe you're trading a specific symbol like Google and now you're going to say things like, well, I'm never going to trade Google again because that's the one that I had that big loss in. It's not Google's fault. It's the fact that you got too large of a position size either for your risk tolerance or for your account size and the absolute worst thing that's going to happen when you take a loss that big is you're going to start questioning whether you can be a successful trader. You're going to say things whether it's out loud or consciously or subconsciously you're going to start saying things to yourself like, I just don't know if I have what it takes. I just don't know if I can make this trading thing work. I don't know if I will ever be a successful trader and when those kind of thoughts start to creep into your mind, you're dead. You've lost. You might as well stop trading because that is the type of mentality that can send you in to a tailspin and start creating even larger losses and bigger losses. Now you're trying to revenge trade and get it back and all different things start to happen. So you've got to keep those types of thoughts out of your head and to do that it starts with position size. Now everyone's position size is going to be different. We all have a different account size. We all have a different risk tolerance. Now if you don't know what I mean when I say risk tolerance, here's what I mean is what amount of P&L swings can you handle without your palms getting sweaty, without you clenching up, without you making decisions that are not appropriate? Whereas if you had a smaller size on, you wouldn't have made the same decisions. When I say risk tolerance, that's exactly what I mean is what kind of P&L swings are you comfortable with? And when I say comfortable, that means that you're not going to have a lot of emotion tied up in that trade. When we have emotions tied up in our trades, we make decisions that are out of the character of what we should be doing based on the methodology or strategy or whatever it is that we're trading. So let me give you an example. Every morning in our trade hacker community, right before we do our live stream where we're day trading live in front of our members, every morning before the market opens, I post in the chat, I post what my position size is for that day. Now this doesn't change. It's not like it changes every day, but I have a range. And so for my day trading specifically, what I state is a small position size for me is anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 of buying power. And that's how I measure it. When we're day trading based on the strategies that we trade, my allocation for one trade is between $1,000 and $3,000. That's a small position size for me. If I'm just trying to maybe just get in, just in case it takes off and I don't want to miss it, that's what I'll start with. Or if I'm trading a symbol that is still very tradeable, but not one of my favorites, not one of the most liquid, not one of the most best moving type stocks that we trade. If it's kind of what I call a second tier type of stock, that's kind of the position size that I would use. So that's a small position. For what I call just a medium sized position, that's more like $3,000 to $7,000. And if I'm trading one of my top stocks, the most liquidity, most actively traded stocks, like your Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, those kind of things, then I'm going to allocate more in that medium range. I start on the lower end, kind of that $3,000 to $7,000 range. So that's my scale. And then between $7,000 and $10,000, that's what I consider kind of a full position size. That's when I really like to set up, I'm in one of my favorite, most liquid, actively traded stocks, might get up to about $10,000. So that's the scale that I've been day trading with for quite some time. Now, a topic for a whole another episode on the podcast is going to be the mindset around scaling up your position size. But for now, I just want to focus on what that is right now. And the reason that is my position size is that because I've learned over time that the P&L swings that can happen with that size of a position fits for me. It's comfortable for me. I can handle a P&L swing with any of those position size on. If the market shut down and I couldn't get out of a position and I lost 100% of the allocation that I put on with that position size, it would not affect me. It would not take me out of the game. It would hurt. I wouldn't like it, but it would not be something that I said, I'm going to stop trading. It's not going to be something where it's going to affect me financially. I'm still going to be able to pay my bills. I'm still going to be able to do everything I need to do. And more importantly though, just on a normal market conditions where you're having some wins, having some losses, it doesn't affect me psychologically. It doesn't affect me from a standpoint of if I take a loss with that size of a position, it's just a loss. It's the normal course of doing business. And that's what you have to figure out for yourself. What P&L swings or what size loss can I take? What size, what amount of capital do I want to risk on this trade to see if I'm going to be right? And if I'm not, I'm going to take the loss and I'm going to move on. That's how you have to think about your position size. Now, if I get outside of my scale for position size, and again, I'm just relating this to the day trading as an example, I trade much bigger size in some of our core premium monthly income type trades, but for day trading specifically, if I start trading with an account position over $10,000 of capital in one position, what happens is when I get in a losing trade with more than $10,000, the P&L swings make me uncomfortable. The P&L swings make me make decisions that I wouldn't normally make had I had on a $5,000 position. And that's the important thing, and that's part of what we'll talk about in another episode of scaling your position size up, is once you get to the point where you can scale that up and still have that same emotional connection, or I should say lack of emotional connection, to that trade based on the P&L swings, that's when it's okay to scale up your position size. Because remember, when we're trading, there's no such thing as a 100% guaranteed trade, right? Every time you get in a trade, there is a chance that you will lose money. And we've talked about this in a previous episode, but we've talked about why you have to trade in probabilities, and more importantly, you have to think in probabilities. So you have to think and trade in probabilities. So for example, one of our day trading strategies, we know that it just, it only has about a 60% probability of success. I'm thinking about like a runner strategy, which is our most profitable strategy, but it's got a 60% probability of being a winner, which means 40% of those trades will be losers. Now, here's the thing about trading. We don't know the sequence of when they'll be winners and when they'll be losers. If we did know the sequence, then we would just load up on the winners and we would never trade the losers or we'd scale down our position size, right? But that doesn't exist. That's not real life. And so you have to position size in a way that you're okay, you're basically saying, okay, I'm gonna allocate this amount of money to find out if I'm right on this trade. But if I'm not, I'm going to take the loss and I'm gonna go on to the next trade. And guess what? I'm gonna go on to this next trade knowing that I'm just that much closer to the next winner because I know that over time, this strategy wins 60% of the time. If you always think like that, then what's gonna happen is, no matter how good a setup looks, no matter how good it looks, going into that support point that you know it just can't go below or that resistance point that you just know in your heart, it can't go above, or that volume looks so great or the price pattern looks so great, none of that matters. No matter how good it looks, that does not mean that you load up on your position size. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't vary your position size. I just told you of the scale that I use from a small to a full-size position. And as long as you have your scale that you're comfortable with on the P&L swings, you can vary your position size. In fact, I would encourage you to vary your position size based on the symbol you're trading, based on the setup that you see, based on the strategy you're trading, but you've got to stay within these bands. You've got to stay within the parameters. And if you haven't set those parameters for yourself and you're just kind of winging it and thinking, oh, I'm just going to do this and over here and use this much capital over here, you've got to set these parameters. And if you have to write them down, post them on your computer so that they're there every time you're trading to help you stay on track with that, then you've got to do it. You've got to set your environment up. You've got to set your mental framework up to make sure that you succeed because otherwise, if you vary from that, if you vary from position size, position size is the number one reason traders fail. Remember that. So if you're not taking this seriously, then you really probably don't have a chance of becoming a successful trader. You see, if you're thinking in probabilities, if you're understanding that, hey, in this example, only 60% of these trades will be winners, which means 40% of these trades will be losers, then that means even if you see the best setup in the world, even if you see the perfect setup, you're gonna know that anything can happen in the market. And it should also make you focus on the risk and not just the upside. No matter how good it looks, if you're just focusing on the profit, then why wouldn't you load the boat on this position? Because it's gonna be a winner. If you have that mentality, that's when you're gonna get yourself in trouble. You've got to focus on risk first and if you focus on the risk, if you think in probabilities, if you focus on protecting your downside, that upside profit is gonna come. I don't remember exactly when it was for me. I don't remember the exact point, but I do know it was, I've said this before that my first 10 years trading were incredibly inconsistent. I mean, I could make a bunch of money, but then I'd lose it. And it'd just be kind of a roller. If you looked at my P&L graph, it looked like a roller coaster, right? And so it was such an epiphany to me when I realized that the way to win at this trading game was all about position size. Because up to that point, and I'm talking probably for that, during that 10 years, like I didn't, position size wasn't on my radar. It was like, okay, if I think a trade's gonna work, I'm pushing the chips in, right? And I wasn't very smart. But what was interesting is when I had that epiphany that, wow, really the key to this game is actually just the position size. Like if I keep my position size in check, I'm going to learn all the nuances. I'm gonna figure all the things out. The probabilities are actually gonna play out over time.  How did you not figure this out so much sooner? Because it's such a simple thing. And that's why I'm sure a lot of you guys rolled your eyes at the beginning of this podcast when I said the number one reason traders fail and I talked about position size, is you're just like, oh, I've heard this before. But it's so true. And if you can really ingrain that and understand that the key to your trading success is your position size, then you'll start to realize how much of a numbers game and a probabilities game that trading really is. We always say that we trade based on statistics and probabilities, but the only way that you can actually see those probabilities play out over time is to keep your position size small.  And if you think about just a simple example of flipping a coin, if you flip a coin 10 times, you might only get one head and nine tails, right? I mean, it's not necessarily high probability that that would happen, but it could certainly happen and it wouldn't be a huge shock to you if you flipped a coin 10 times and nine of the 10 were tails and only one was heads. Well, guess what? If you are trading, if you're wagering, if you're betting, call it whatever you want. If you're betting on heads and only one out of nine happens, guess what? That's not a good P&L, right? That's not a good value proposition. But if you flip a coin a thousand times, then the probabilities are, it's gonna be pretty close to 500 heads and 500 tails, okay? And that's just the reality of the probabilities. Now we trade, our strategies are much higher than a 50-50 coin flip, but you have to be able to withstand strings of losses and the only way to do that is to trade small. So remember, and this part of this depends on the strategy you're trading, but if you can just stick to the rules, trade less than 5% of your account value on any one position, trade less than 50% of your account value for all your positions, then it's gonna be really difficult for you to fail.  I absolutely love hearing the success stories of our members and I equally hate hearing when our members suffer sizable losses that puts them out of the game, whether that's financially or mentally. Being able to book consistent profits is one of the most empowering things that you can have. I know this is kind of a cliche thing to say, but it literally is you taking control of your finances, taking control of your financial future because now you know that if you just follow the plan, keep your position size in check, have a strategy that has an edge over time that you're not gonna have to depend on anyone or anything for your finances. And if you've never experienced that, it's one of the most empowering things that you can ever have in life. And part of the whole basis for us starting navigation trading is because I've experienced that and I want you to experience that, I want everyone to experience that feeling, and it all starts with position size. So I hope that you can get to that point. I want you to have that empowering feeling of being able to take control of your retirement or your finances or your income or whatever it is and take control of that and it all starts with position size. I hope this was helpful. If you guys have any questions, you can always hit me up in the community. We have a community of like-minded traders. It's free to join.

InterGio 2018 in Frankfurt am Main was a huge success. Even more international, colourful and vibrant, with many enthusiastic visitors and a record number of exhibitors, InterGio is growing and is simply well received. The atmosphere was great and the organisers drew a positive conclusion throughout. The ambience is positive in all areas, exhibitors, visitors and conference participants. And the InterGio became colourful, meaning new audiences from the areas of Smart City, BIM and many new international guests. The bare facts are, we've got over 19.000 professional visitors from over 100 countries, which is actually a record that we reached. 640 exhibitors from 40 countries is very pleasing too. And the conference with almost 1.500 participants was superb. Therefore, the InterGio 2018 was a total success and we're looking confident and optimistic to the 25th year anniversary in the state capital Stuttgart next year. For the DVW I can say that we're ending three very successful event days. We've especially expanded the connection between the great fair and conference by recognising the development early on place in such topics on the market. In short, I can say that the InterGio became more versatile, far more digital and more international. Therefore, we're looking forward to keep improving this development for the next event in Stuttgart in 2019. Exhibitors and visitors are also delighted with the atmosphere, the contacts, networking and the discussions on solutions from the geo-IT sector at InterGio. This is a great event where we've found great new conditions here in Frankfurt with these halls on two levels and open setting. Visitors could walk through easily to orient themselves. There was almost a feeling that we had less visitors with this open floor system. But in fact, we had a record high with over 19,000 participants in three days and 640 exhibitors, 8% more than in the previous years. You can see that not only the halls, the surroundings, the weather and the location played a role to make us as exhibitors happy with this year's event. But also the direction of the trade fair, including the Smart City Forum, which was very well appreciated, helped to make us very pleased regarding the trade fair. It's very diverse. You find a lot of companies on a lot of areas that has to do with spatial information, so that's very interesting. All the different branches of the geodetic area are combined here and you can see different firms and companies you've never heard of before. I think this is very interesting. The drone technology, the underground detection, the survey, everything is amazing. So it's a great show. Good to be here. It's very international, so you have people from all over the world, you have companies that are bringing their employees from plenty of places. For example, I work for Trimble, I come from Colombia, but I work in Belgium, so that's what I like. It's a good place that we can meet a lot of companies in one place in three days and I think it's enough to talk with everybody to meet new people. The top issues of the geospatial sector around digitalization, artificial intelligence, building information modeling, drones and Smart City have been discussed in various forums in the exhibition and in the conference. My colleague Andreas Eisinger looked around for the Smart City solutions. But he has failed in Hessen, Germany. A city with 30,000 citizens is on its way to become a Smart City. At InterGiu, the mayor was presenting what has already been realized in the charming city. We developed an app that allows our citizens to measure noise and the results go to a database and we installed many sensors that measure particulates or CO2. People are continuing to flock to the cities. Politicians, planners and scientists have been trying to predict for years about what life in cities might be in the future. Smart Cities as a focus of InterGiu 2018. Before Smart City becomes reality, many players have to work together, such as administration or scientific research. And there is a need of companies that are able to adapt their innovations to cities and offer it for other cities as well. Lighthouse projects like Santander in Spain, Munich or Copenhagen cannot disguise the fact that the road towards Smart Cities is still long. The more data, the more automation is needed. That's a problem at the moment. There is a long way to go for developers. There are many answers to be found, but it's a certainty that the era of Smart Cities has just started. And with the following impressions, we say goodbye to you from Frankfurt and look forward to seeing you again in Stuttgart from the 17th to the 19th of September on the 25th anniversary of InterGiu, your leading platform for networking and exchange of the geospatial community. And don't forget, InterGiu TV reports all year round, so stay with us and tune in on YouTube, Facebook or intergiu-tv.com. Thank you and goodbye from Frankfurt.

All right, welcome back. It's still the breakfast on plus TV Africa. And this time around, we'll focus in on the politics in Libya and precisely, a court in southern Libya on first day, in stated Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of the slain dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, as a candidate in next month's presidential election. That's according to verse media reporter in the dailies. And of course, we have joining us now, Paul Agimer. Many thanks for joining us on this particular discourse, Paul. Thank you for having me. All right, fine. I just read that a court has clad in the Muammar Gaddafi's son to run for next month's election. Looking at all the antecedents, looking at all that's been happening in Libya, is it a case of the apple does not fall far from that tree? So Libya is a pre-divided country today, if anything, some even may call it a failed state. UN is leading a process to try to patch it up. After Libya, after the long-term leader Muammar Gaddafi was killed in 2011, after ruling the country for 40 years. So it is still the Wuhan Foreign and Militia group? All right, we'll try and reconnect with Paul Agimer. There are three processes in this discourse. Merci. Libya has actually been into one form of political terminology that since Muammar Gaddafi's an ouster. And now the son has been clad to run for a presidency. And a lot of people are saying that he may not really be too different from his father. Well, it's really quite unfortunate because the Civil War, if you want to call it the first Civil War, 2011. And of course, it escalated into having rebels and that spread around the entire country and all of the protests. But the major concern now is that's the big issue. Apart from the fact that we're hoping that if this election eventually happened about the 24th of December, if I'm not mistaken, would it actually heal the wounds? Would it actually stop peace and all of the troubles that Libya has actually experienced in the past? Now, and also another big concern now is the fact that you have self-Islam, that's Gaddafi, Gaddafi's second son, who also had a role. Because if you follow, he still has a case with the international court, with the international community, because he was also involved in, at the time where you had the protests and all of that, he involved, he was really involved, he played a major role in abusing protesters and the human issue concern is also a big question. None of the court has actually cleared him of all of that. The point is, we still talk about the issue of peace and justice. And would you really see him having a chance? Would that not also bring back memories of all the pains that the people had actually gone through in Libya? So I really do not know if that's a very big, a good decision. And I don't know what chances he actually has. He stands chances of even contesting if he will contest the election, if there are chances of him winning the election, following the role that he played during the protests and the time under the revolution that actually happened. We do have Paul back online, Paul Ejema. It's good to have you join us. We're sorry for all of that break in transmission. Thank you for having me again. Okay, so let's continue the conversation with the fact that do you think that with the elections coming through in Libya, would it bring peace? Would you restore peace and heal the land of all of the troubles that Libya has actually gone through? I think somebody will be naive to believe that will heal anything or lead to progress because the elections by themselves cannot translate to peace or democracy. And like I was saying, Libya is a deeply divided country. There are still foreign militia groups and then there are, you know, war is divided, the East and the West are divided. UN is trying to mediate to have this. They have a unity government or government of national unity that is not really living up to the bill. The UN mediator, you can't believe it, at least resigned, we mentioned, a month of the election, that tells you something. He says also resigned on the job because of pressure. So I think it goes beyond holding elections. In fact, what should matter is what is the outcome? What will be the outcome of that? What happens after the election? Not really the fact that the election can take place. All right, Mr. Paul Ejime, you know, this younger Gaddafi was charged with two counts of crimes against humanity for alleged murder and persecution, but he never was extradited to face these charges. Do you think that the Libyans, as they had supposed, would actually be so forgiven knowing all that has gone on in that particular country for decades? The context is so important here. Not only that Saif is wanted by the ICC, he had also actually been sentenced to death by Libyan courts in one part of Libya in 2015 in absentia. So, but you see, his father still commands a case of nostalgia. And if you look at the way that Gaddafi was killed, much, a lot of water is being poured there. What the international communities are about is, they're not even looking at the welfare or the interests of Libyans because the Libyan resources are being, oil, for instance, being exploited and not to the benefit of Libyans. You may say whatever you have, you can say about Gaddafi. But when he was there, there was a measure of peace, you know, but now the country is divided. The country is virtually almost a failed state. So elections will not heal it. And the song is trying to ride on the crest of his brother's popularity when he was alive. Whether or not that will get him the position is another thing. And there are perhaps about 200 candidates that are running and most of them have bank packages. There is Khalifa, who is leading the so-called Libyan army. And then the only moderate person is the speaker of parliament. So it is just a way of trying to create an impression that something is walking. But I think the outcome will perhaps shock those who think that Libya is in a good state to conduct any credible election. There has to be peace-building. There has to be trust-building among Libyans. That has not happened. And then you have to want to force a government on them. It's not going to last, even if you've got any, you've got somebody elected, that is not going to bring the problem. Let them go to the briar, get to Libyans to, because Libya is at war against itself. And then reconciliation. There has to be trust among the citizens before you can talk about credible or transparent election. I think this is just deja vu. They are trying to give the impression that it is walking. But it's not walking. They have to let the process that took out Gaddafi. No questions asked. In fact, Obama, who was the president of America then, said that was one of the decisions he regretted. Because they took out Libya without thinking about the aftermath, about post-regime change, without post-regime strategy. And that has happened in so many places in Iraq, also in Afghanistan, so on and so forth. So the international community has a job quarter for it. OK. So what does this mean? And what will this mean if Sef al-Islam Gaddafi contests for this election? And what are his chances of winning, knowing the fact that he played a major role during the protests where he attacked his protesters? Yes, he was trying to protect his father, Gaddafi was his father, was in government. So I think he did what any son, any child can do. But the point is, had Libya adhered to the point where they can forgive and leave Gaddafi still controlled, still have the support that he used to have in his life. So his chances will be tested by the election. I had him with none of the candidates we named at the first round. And then he gets into Australia. And who knows? He's just one of the candidates. His chances are 50-50. And he could also be part of the king-makers if he manages to get himself to a position where he can have sufficient votes to be able to have an input into who now wins, eventually. All right, Mr. Ijime, but what does this really tell about the legality or otherwise of all of this that you have indeed said that he had been sentenced by a quota in Libya? And then again, he coming out to contest. Don't you think the average policeman should be arresting him? What does this really tell? Doesn't it spell lawlessness on the part of the Libyan system? And that is what we're talking about, that holding an election in a place that is so divided in lawlessness, this west and the east. There is a general who says he's the Field Marshal Hanifa. He's one of the candidates. He's the Tripoli government all along. And now he's thrown himself, thrown his hat into the air. So he's one of them. So it's not just Gaddafi's son. There are many who have the baggage that they are bringing to this election. So it questions the legality that you mentioned, the credibility of the process. And so is it an election for the sake of an election? And from after that, what happens? Because that is the issue. What is the end game? What is the objective of those who are calling for this election? Is it to give a semblance of security, of stability? When in fact, in reality, on ground, there is nothing to show that Libya is in a position to run a state, like a stable state. Elections cannot bring that up out. It is going down to address the issues that brought Libya to this, to his knees, from 10 years ago, from the killing of Gaddafi. The Indians are divided. And then you have foreign forces there, the militia groups of supporting one group or the other. So you can have a credible, transparent or free and spare election, or that is kind of conditioned. I think those who are calling for election, I don't know what they have in mind. But that is not the solution to the Libyan crisis at the moment. OK, I like the fact that I know that in the course of this conversation, you have mentioned that the solution to the crisis and all of the issues going on in Libya is not having an election. Can you categorically tell us what then should be done? What should stakeholders in Libya do? And of course, we also know the role the United States actually played in the whole Libya crisis. Is there anything that is expected of them? OK, yes. You see what happened in the Afghanistan. Going to impose a transparent democracy that does not work.  That is what happens. It wasn't Libya's, per se, a section of Libya where the ones that were against NATO supported that group to take out and manage what the outcome. So that is the issue. Leave countries to run because of oil resources. That is what is happening. Now there is no government. So anybody and everybody can go and, you know, exploit the resources, the oil resources of Libya. That is what is happening. If it was under a government, that will not happen. But they're looking for either a government that is, you know, amenable to what they say, or the great crisis to be able to exploit that situation and begin to take the resources of the people. Let the Libyans be the one to determine their fate, their government, and the management of their resources. This external interference, because that is what it is, in the name of intervention, trying to help Libya. You can't allow Libyans more than themselves. Leave them to have their problem. No country can tell you that they don't have issues. But let them manage those crises. Let them manage their differences. And be able to govern themselves. It is about self determination. Let international communities not come under the guise of trying to actually, they are following their own interests. Let the Libyans be the ones to govern Libya. And Libya, and that is what should happen. This meddling has not helped and will never help. It didn't help Iraq. It didn't help Afghanistan. Is that going to happen in Libya? All right, thank you so much, Paul, Agema International Affairs Analyst for your input. Indeed, what the Libyans need right now is self determination. They need to manage the resources and of course, all that concerns them by themselves. We do appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. All right, we'll be taking a quick break and we'll come back when we're focusing on football. The mercy that deserved the Ballon d'Or. In a moment, stay with us.


So here we have two demos, nice demos, attracting demos with ST, this one is showing synchronized motor control based on the ST Spin 32 series from ST, which is a very interesting product to the market, combining a microcontroller and driver and DC-DC converter in one device. And here we have this combination between two of these interlocked wheels, driven by two of these of these controller boards, combined with a motor from MaximMotor and the encoder, always measuring the position, this coming together, attracting a lot of people on our booth. Is it very special to do it this kind of wave? It is, ST has been one of the first to bring together this functionality and showing it in such a way, that's it. And then what we have as well, on the sensor side, so it's always the control side and the power side. And then we have the sensor side as well, what we show here with this nice little industrial sensor demo showing all the industrial sensors on one board, so the customer can easily evaluate temperature sensors, position sensing, external meter sensor on the whole portfolio of ST in that device. What is programmed in here, is this it? Everything is there. Everything is there. What you need to have, you can log the data, you can analyze the data. There's even a sensor on which has a neural network on board and this is what we initially programmed in that one, so that it can detect the position and give the position without using a microcontroller. So it's just the position directly given out from the sensor. That's very unique and very, very interesting power saving and extremely useful. The famous edge computing. Thank you very much, Marky. Welcome. Thank you.


Look, I know that not many people, myself included, see Joe Biden as a real threat, however, is it within the realm of possibility that he could still very well win the nomination? Yeah, it is possible. And if Donald Trump's victory taught us anything, it's that we should never underestimate our opponents.  He's still polling in first place nationally. He's still nine points ahead in Nevada, 19 points ahead in South Carolina, two points ahead in California, and almost 10 points ahead in the state of Texas. Now of course, this could change. These polls just present us with a snapshot in time, and he could very well continue to plummet. That being said, don't count him out yet. It's still entirely possible that he could be the nominee. I think, you know, most likely he's going to lose, but he could win. Now the fact that it's even a possibility, it really is puzzling to me because he has ran one of the worst campaigns I think I've ever seen. I thought that back in 2016, you could never run a campaign as bad as Hillary Clinton. I think he's running a worse campaign than Hillary Clinton, because even though he's slightly to the left of Hillary Clinton on a number of issues, Hillary Clinton was at least competent enough to defend herself, right, and downplay credible accusations of corruption and whatnot. Joe Biden, I mean, he's flailing, and I'm not just talking about the numerous gaffes, which we'll get to that, but on top of the gaffes, he's making decisions, not by himself I'm assuming, that are bizarre when it comes to campaign tactics and strategy. For example, he is really going all in on no malarkey, and he's currently going on a no malarkey tour, and he literally put the words no malarkey on a giant bus, because I guess that he thinks this is what's going to appeal to voters, maybe. And in spite of the promise of no malarkey, well, there has been some malarkey at campaign stops. So, for example, at this campaign event, you can see that he was sucking on his wife's finger. Now, this was captured on video, and we get a little bit more context with the video version. Take a look. So first of all, at least that was his wife, and it wasn't some random woman or child that he was doing that to.  Why? And you know, for the promise of no malarkey, it's literally on the podium, that is what I would describe as malarkey, but for some reason, his supporters love that he doesn't like malarkey. Because at the second debate, I believe, one of his supporters told Jordan Charidan that that was basically the highlight of the debate for them as a Joe Biden supporter. What was your favorite line of Biden tonight? I'm very glad he said malarkey once again. Oh, malarkey was a big one. So anything on policy or substance or just malarkey? Just malarkey. I mean, honestly, I haven't been that impressed. I'll be completely honest. I buy it. So I mean, Joe Biden is offering nothing to voters with the exception of a promise of no malarkey. Now, no malarkey has essentially been a catchphrase of Joe Biden for quite some time, and MSNBC put together this compilation showing how many times he has used the phrase malarkey. Mr. President, is this more of this Texas malarkey?  With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey. He cares about the middle class. Give me a break.  It's more of the malarkey, man. It's more of the malarkey. So this idea is a bunch of malarkey, what we're talking about here. Not to be agist, but I have literally never heard anyone under the age of 60 use the word malarkey unironically. But I mean, if you're a Joe Biden supporter, this is a major selling point. And he knows that because he put it on a bus, literally, how he has any supporters is baffling to me. It's genuinely baffling to me. Now we learned a little bit more about Joe Biden over the weekend, because another clip from the infamous speech where we learned about corn pop emerged. And this is basically him babbling incoherently for about a minute. And what he says doesn't really make a lot of sense. But what you can extract from what he's saying, it does have really creepy implications to it. Here I saw that made me aware when I was in law school, proudly for Holloway. Proudly for your dad. First African-American state senator in the state of Delaware. Everything about, and by the way, you know, I sit on the stand and it get hot. I got a lot of, I got hairy legs that turned, that turned blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down. So it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at it. So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I've loved kids jumping on my lap. And I tell you what, the men, they're now all men, the guys I work with down here, and they're all guys at the time, they're all good men. Most of them made an awful lot of themselves. And Earl Larkin had a rough time in some of you new Earl. I def, I came back as a public defender. I mean, quote, I got hairy legs that turned blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up in the pool and rub my leg down and then watch the hair come back up again. So I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I've loved kids jumping on my lap.  I mean, look, I'm not just covering this because I want to dunk on Joe Biden, even though I enjoy doing that. The reason why I think we have to talk about this is because does anybody have any confidence in Joe Biden whatsoever to actually beat Donald Trump? Can that person who just talked about that, about kids who would rub his leg down in the pool and watch the hair come back up again and roaches, does anybody believe that that person can beat Donald Trump? No, he's a huge liability in the general election. And yet he still technically does have a shot at the nomination. If he could win, I think that Donald Trump may actually beat him worse than he beat Hillary Clinton. Like we're looking at Trump winning the popular vote and the Electoral College, which would be a catastrophe, right? Because that means that Donald Trump definitely will fill another one to two Supreme Court seats and then the split will go from five, four, two, six, three, or seven, two. It's a disaster, an unmitigated disaster.  I mean, somebody running that poor of a campaign should have been out already. Like Joe Biden should have dropped out. But the fact that he's still in this, in spite of the bad fundraising, in spite of plummeting in the polls, the fact that he's still viable, even as much as he is, shows that we've got a lot of problems in this country. It's not just Republicans who are the problem. It's also Democrats. So what this tells us is, win or lose, we have to really be a lot more vocal at pushing for electoral reform. We can't just have this two-party duopoly any longer. We need ideological diversity because when you are forced to put centrists and, you know, people on the left together in one party, this is what we have to deal with. We have to share a party with people who think that no malarkey is going to captivate young people to get on vote.  Joe Biden is a joke. And to a degree, I feel bad for him because his family should really step in and say, Joe, we know you don't have to do this.  You can't really campaign. Let's just let's call it a day. Let's go home. Let's let Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren or Pete Bita judge battle this out. We don't have to do this any longer. But I mean, he's still in this. Yeah, we're doomed. With you wins, we are absolutely doomed.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's casebreaks.com. Happy new release day. We got some 2023 flawless baseball coming at you. This is the random number block randomizer for flawless picker team three, which will be in a separate video. I think that's how it works if you're not familiar with it. A big thanks to this group. I think this group is familiar with it. And there we got the numbers right there. Let's roll it and randomize it. Six into two, eight times for names and teams. Names and numbers. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I'll take your word for it, Eric. You got Matt down to Matt. After eight times, I'm sure it's hilarious. And then six into two, eight times for the numbers. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eighth and final time. Six into two, eight times. We got nine down to zero. I don't think there's redemptions in flawless, but the rules say zero gets any and all redemptions for those seven teams, including one-of-one redemptions. I don't think there's redemptions. Matt with nine, Ben with eight, Ryan with two, last spot mojo. Kevin with six, Adam with four, Matt with five and seven. Eric with three, Adam with one, and Matt with zero. So let's order these numerically. And remember, it's just a number block for these teams right here. That group of teams right there. So thanks everybody. I'll see you in the next video for the break itself. Jasper's Case Breaks.com.
