Well, I have been alive for about 15,212 days. I know I counted Now in those 15,212 days, I have never known a day without the Sun I mean it's been some of these days have been cloudy like this But the Sun has always been there There's never been a time in which at 12 noon. I've seen the moon or There's never been a time at 12 noon. The Sun has just not been in the sky It was you know in the sky one day and then not in the next and those 15,212 days the Sun has always been there. Well, that's really great information, but Just with the knowledge is with the evidence that the Sun has been in the sky 15,212 days That doesn't tell us very much About whether the Sun will be there tomorrow All on its own It's great evidence for the fact that there's 15,212 days of Sun, but the question is will there be a 15,213th day or 214th day In order for me for me to make that inference. I need a general principle. I need a conditional I need something that says since I have seen the Sun for 15,212 days. I will see the Sun on the 15,213th That general principle is called the principle of induction and that's what Russell talks about in this section Well, so I have seen the Sun 15,212 days and from that I infer Oh from using that and something else I infer that I'm going to see in the 15,213th and the what I'm going to use to infer that is what we call the uniformity in nature the uniformity in nature is is so natural to Claim so easy to roll off the tongue that we take it for granted We don't think of it as something that needs to be proven to be true or anything like that And the uniformity in nature is basically this that you know the future will resemble the past So in the past I've seen the Sun rise right I got 15,212 days of that So it's really good evidence that in the 15,213th day that I will see the Sun rise We'd you know if what if for only 12,500 of those days I saw the Sun rise and in the other 12,500 and some change whatever There wasn't a Sun right it was daytime, but there wasn't a Sun well then I would conclude from that that well But you know there's a 50-50 chance that the Sun would rise tomorrow But since I've seen it rise 15,212 days The probability is really high that the Sun will rise and Again because of this presumption that the future will resemble the past You know in addition to the future or resemble a past we think that you know one area of the universe is Like all other relevantly similar areas of the universe, right? So I wouldn't expect to see this on Venus, right? But that's because this is not relevantly similar to Venus Venus has much more carbon dioxide is much hotter and As far as as far as we know it doesn't have any plant life Yeah, I would expect to see this on the surface of the moon and there's no atmosphere on the surface of the moon There's no soil that can be farmed on the surface of the moon. It's also too cold now because of That because the moon is not relevantly similar to this area. I don't expect to see this on the moon Now suppose the moon were different suppose that had an atmosphere and suppose I had soil things like this I would expect to see something like this maybe maybe maybe on the surface of the moon If there are enough of the conditions from that like this on the moon Now the principle that is uniformity of nature Me is what we use to form the principle of induction, which I'll get to in just a second But the something really important to remember here, you know the uniformity of nature is You know comes so naturally to us that we don't think that it needs a proof But the question very quickly becomes well, you know, we don't like to just assume things to be true We would like things to be justified. We'd like to have reasons or evidence for our claims Well, what proof can we give for the principle uniformity of nature? Well, you know like we said it we've used the uniformity of nature for such a long time as the basis for the principle Induction which we'll get to a second, which is the basis behind the scientific investigation, right? You know since we Don't see a place like this on the moon We don't expect there to be things like this on the moon, right? If we did find something like some if that we thought the moon was relevant to the earth We would expect to find things like this on the earth You know, but you know we use the principle uniformity nature so much and its work so often we say hey It has been working all this time. Why not think that it's going to work in the future since it has worked it will work But notice in order to make that inference in order to make the inference that the print that this uniformity in nature Will always be the case since it always has been the case is To use the uniformity of nature So right up front it looks like We've got to say if I'm going to prove The uniformity of nature. I've got to assume the uniformity of nature and you don't prove anything by assuming it's true Okay, so we talked about the uniformity of nature and this justifies what's called the principle of induction And the principle of induction is an inference rule for probability. Okay? so this kind of Complicated your rustic is kind of a complicated definition for the principle of induction and it comes into two parts the first part is that if we see events a correlated with events B All the time in the past Then we would expect that if we see an event of a kind a we can predict That an event of a kind B will follow and this is roughly what we get from causation So this is what we try to do You know the I think I think I forgot to mention that the uniformity of nature Presumes that there are these general laws right that governs all of What happens in the natural world and you know these causal laws, right? And this is used to inform the principle of induction. So we're trying to determine these causal laws And what we do is I mean this is the basis for scientific experiments We try to find those events a Correlate with those events B and we try to find okay Well, what would interfere with that what would maybe add to it what is also necessary for it? So maybe it's not just a that leads to B, but it's a C and D which leads to be we just you know we have to figure out what C and D are or Maybe you'll be doing kind of an event of a kind a we haven't seen B But maybe a different event called a G has been interfering with a to cause B things like that You know that that's a little bit more what's happening in the text, but this is this is the idea that We're trying to find thought that those correlations of events events of a type a along with the type B So that's the first part that we would expect to see you know If we have seen a and B all the time in the past we would expect to see be a company a in the future The second part has to deal with what kind of probability we can draw from this now You know, it's might seem a little confusing but what Russell says is we can We can draw a greater and greater probability without limit, right? So what he means by that is you know with more and more evidence we could have a 99 percent chance the 99.1 percent chance And 99.1 1 percent chance 99.1 1 percent chance to keep moving closer and closer to certainty We don't get 100 percent Right, we don't get 100 percent because of the nature of induction, right induction deals with Near certainties, but not absolute certainties if you deal with absolute certainties you deal with deductive inference Which we you know, we're talking about what we can't be doubted And we discuss what can't be doubted earlier from the earlier sections I can't doubt my own existence and I can't doubt the fact that I'm having sense experience Everything else has an error for doubt right has this little room this margin for error and that's where the probability comes in So here's what Russell says, you know through induction I Can get a greater and greater degree of certainty, but never quite reach it So we you know we talked earlier in that in the chapter dealing with the nature of matter When Russell said we can never know the nature of matter we can only know how it affects us Well, this is the effect We can know with greater and great uncertainty how matter is going to affect us in the future Now I said in the last scene that the print that the uniformity nature can't be proven it can only be a sin to be true Well, the same thing is true with the principle of adduction so what I mean by that well if Let's let's say we can prove the principle of adduction. Well, if we're gonna do that Then remember the only thing that can be that that can't be doubted is my existence in the end my sense data That can't be doubted So the other principle of adduction is not something that I that is just known with any with with certainty So what am I going to use to prove the principle of adduction to justify? Well, I'm going to use experience Well, if I use experience to prove the principle of adduction and let's say hey, it has always worked All right, the principle of adduction has always worked in the past. So The principle of adduction will work in the future But if he is that line of reasoning, I'm using the principle of induction to prove the principle of adduction well That that's false right you can't Use a principle to prove a principle because that's just assuming it's true. Just like we saw earlier with the uniformity of nature So the principle of adduction Doesn't look like at least at this point doesn't look like it has a proof now We don't have any evidence against it either, right? We don't have any proof against the principle of adduction We don't have any proof against the uniformity of nature, but We don't have proof for it either So this this leads us to the really interesting question. How are we going to justify the principle of induction? We use the principle of adduction all the time to make inferences about what's going to happen in the future Or what we're going to find in different parts of the earth that there aren't necessarily exactly the same what we find But pretty close to it. We use the principle of adduction all the time if it's not justified Right Russell says it's early on if I can't if I don't have the principle of adduction I don't have much knowledge at all namely any knowledge about the future Well, if it's not justified Why am I allowed to use the principle of induction?


it's two-fold here. And I think I'm glad you brought up the action because action is an important part. And to me, it starts with like creating that environment where people, again, don't feel safe, but have the security to take risks and fail. So if we look at, again, parenting and children, you don't want to be the helicopter or the lawnmower parent who's trying to bulldoze their way through things. You want to create the space where you know what the kid can lose at the game and it's not the end of the world.  Like that is part of the expectation and the environment that needs to be there. The second part is I think, you know, we need to have the appropriate expectations around things to get to the action. Too often, especially in our modern world is we create this expectation that it's either perfect action or I shouldn't do it. So I either should win or I shouldn't try.  And I think in our modern world, especially with social media, we're so enamored or living in a world where we're judged all the time. So our natural inclination is to protect us from being exposed to anything. So again, environment expectations and then getting to action, I think, is how do you navigate those feelings and that inner dialogue? But more so it's making sure that the action behind it has some sort of meaning and purpose that is relevant and resonates with you. So the athlete who's able to like, you know, come through the pain and discomfort of a race or a performance and come out on the other side and do the right thing, often they're able to do that because it's important to them because it's not just about them, but it's about their team. It's about something greater than themselves. So getting to action and being tough is often like how do you create that space where this thing like means a lot to me, where this thing has some momentum behind it. So I'll give you again the example we talked about earlier with whistleblowing, which wasn't, you know, an athletic feat, but it was like, how do I get to action? It took a while, but at first I had to come to terms with, okay, why should I speak out? What's the good coming out of this? And then ultimately it came down to like, for me, it was like, I need to put this out in the world to unburden myself and also so that others don't have to go through the same experience that I did.  It was something much greater, which like propelled me through the difficult stuff. So for anybody on going through a challenging time is like create that meaning and purpose behind the thing that kind of kind of propels you and gives that notch or that momentum behind the action where it's almost like, okay, I have to do this or I want to do this because if I don't, like it's not gonna be good.

Where does Baker Mayfield end up, what do you think? Is Baker Mayfield, he can't possibly start the season with Cleveland could he? He's out of there right? So where does he go? Got Josh Palmer Red Wave to 149, should go to Detroit or Washington, didn't Washington just draft a quarterback? Detroit could be interesting, you think the Seahawks might go for, might go for him? There's 76 out of 225, Tyrell Davis, from our Chase rookie card, Robbie Anderson to 75. Yeah, but I don't, I mean even then I think the relationship between he and, he between Baker and Cleveland is already done I think, when I think he's hoping that maybe he could, he could go to another team, maybe get a little extension, Carolina could use a quarterback as well, Eli Mitchell, rookie Silver for Joshua and the Niners, yeah Denver sold for 4.5 billion dollars, they were looking to sell that club for a little bit, got some, got some big money out of it, out of 125, Bobby Wagner, Seattle, Justin, Simifee Oko to 199 for Dallas, so yeah what, what's the club like Dallas worth now? And there's James Robinson for the Jaguars, nice, traumatic with the Jags, Robert Woods to 175, Rams, Aaron, George Kittle and, hey, Bookit, Ian Book, rookie autograph for the Saints, shit my cards with it, Brian Allen say Ian Books actually selling a little bit, you think he get some, you think he get some run early in the season, Logan Thomas and a one-of-one, no it's out of five, Gold Vinyl, Calvin Ridley, the gambler, you got a no end to hold them, no end to fold them, no end to walk away, out of five, Atlanta that's gonna go to Joshua Edelits for what it's worth, Josh, all aboard the Big Hit Express, it's Cornell Powell to 99 and Adrian Amos flipped around for some reason, maybe a variation, I don't know, we'll top load it, and what, what a, what a dumb, is Dallas Goddard to 99, what is Calvin Ridley, what a dumb, Dallas Goddard going to aim and the Eagles, Jaylen Waddle base card going to aim in Miami, Cole Beasley red wave to 149, and there's Brock Lesnar, 16 out of 199, blue wave from Minnesota, Jimmy, with the Vikings, the autographs in there somewhere too, hard times being a Falcons fan, but they drafted a quarterback too right, are we intrigued about this Atlanta QV, forget, forget his name, sorry, my brain's really not in football mode, but it's not gonna be a QV battle there in camp, it could be interesting, there's Keeney Wangu to 199 for the, for the Vikings, Raheem Moser to 199, Desmond Ritter that's right, people say that, they say that he was the highest rated quarterback in Japan, he's not gonna start this year, interesting, I don't know, Mariota has a hard time staying healthy, so he better be ready, I don't know who the other quarterbacks are in that Atlanta QV room though, Mark Brinnell to 249, Sean Maddock in the Jaguars, Justin Jefferson blue wave 180 out of 199, another Viking for Jimmy, and there's Randy Moss and Rob Gronkowski, back to back, nice flashback, Randy Moss for Minnesota, blue cracked ice, Jimmy Stratton, that's to 75, and we got a Rob Gronkowski sensational signatures, I have a feeling that was a mistake, this is for the Buccaneers, Andrew Martin, there may be a third autograph still hiding in there, in fact I see the RPA right here, is that an RPA? What a box, 20 out of 49, Buccaneers, Andrew, those might have been just imperceptibly sort of stuck together going into the machine and ended up in the same pack, sorry about that, Teddy Bridgwar going to the Denver, that'll be for Sean to 175, Zach Wilson for the Jets, Andrew M with that foot, different Andrew M, Andrew Martin got the Buccaneers, other Andrew, whose last name I would butcher so I'm gonna leave that alone, with the Jets, DeMarcus Lawrence to 225, purple cracked ice for Dallas, Stephen Flat, right Diego, so is it our responsibility we call, because someone is missing an autograph from a box somewhere else, right, we should turn one of these in, because if we were shorted an autograph we would definitely demand, you know, we would definitely demand to get another autograph, so that means if we get extras, I'm gonna send one of them back, Jordan Poyer to 249, Amon Ross St. Brown, I think a few Bobby have been taken, there's a Rahim Moser to 25, that'll be for Joshua and the Niners, there's Jalen Phillips to 60s and there is a third autograph in the box, this is for Miami that's for Aime, and it's a nice one too, Jersey an autograph, Najee Harris that's a catch, Pittsburgh Steelers, Joshua Edelitz got the Steelers in the filler, 83 out of 99, that's strong, all right that's the bonus autograph, got a Curtis Martin to 149, Andrew with the Jets, She Smith to 225, Darren with Carolina, Burr Smith Jr. to 225 for the Vikings, Gilo you think they just have a, get the picture of him catching it, that's a, that's more of a static photo, you need to take a photography of Class Gilo, that's a static photo, this implies motion and movement and action in this photo right here, otherwise if you just have the picture of him catching it, you could easily say, oh that was a picture, he just picked up the ball and held it up like this, now there's motion happening in that picture, action happening in that picture, you can feel it, all right this is kind of a static picture, you know what is he doing, but if he'd actually had him rearing back or actually in the motion of throwing or the ball even coming out of his hands, that would be a cool picture, yeah the old, the old, the old Tucker Lester he was doing, the Padres pull it back to within two runs and then they just gave up a bases clearing triple, man Padres bullpen, what are you guys doing, well Gilo I know you know a lot about what can happen within 13, 12, 13 seconds right, if you want to play that game, there's Matthew Stafford to 225, there's Frank Darby to 175 and Simi Feoko for the Dallas Cowboys, red wave autograph for Steven and the Dallas Cowboys, Frank Darby for the ATL, see that's a cool picture, look at the football almost jumping off of the card, that might not be a catch though, it's the 175, Joshua with the ATL, Karim Hunt to 60, Mack Jones, Rashon Gary to 125, did you see that Kansas City defense against the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs, Gilo do you see that, flashback autograph, James Harrison 60 out of 99, Steelers that's going to be for Joshua, Kronkowski to 175 and Davis Mills could be a somebody, maybe Joshua the Texans, some people are kind of high on that guy, Padres, Bolton just falling apart, Rondale Moore to 249, wow Eduardo Escobar with a cycle, Joshua with the Cardinals, Van Jefferson to 199, Blue Wave, Vernon Hargraves to 249, Justin Simmons to 75, I did see that, I think it wasn't a 30 for 30 or an E 60 or something like that with Charles Woodson, it's actually pretty good, what are you going to do, it happened, a lot of other opportunities for the Raiders to win that game, it's Jalen Camp to 125, Sean Maddock with the Jaguars, Chamar Chase, Bass, Schobert, maybe like I kind of want like a rainbow Schobert, Orange Schobert, I think he'll have his own ice cream company after he hangs it up, Chamar Chase, Bass, Mike Williams at the end to 199 and a rookie silver Jalen Camp doing some work in camp it looks like from the picture, there you have it ladies and gentlemen, that was another nice half-case break of 2021, 2021 prism football, there's the out of five Calvin Ridley, Kyle Pitts, Trevor Lawrence Silver, Justin Fields to 175, Devonta Smith, Jalen Waddle Snakeskin, Travis Detian Jr, we started off the break with Dallas Clark, pretty nice stuff, thanks for watching, thanks for breaking with us ladies and gentlemen, I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next break, bye-bye.


I have no idea how to use this stuff. We've got Tom on in the background for this video. I'm going to turn it down in a minute We also have a Tom playing over there So yeah, that's a thing No, stop falling down! Lydia can't do filming My hair looks pretty good though. How's it going? I was looking in the viewfinder the entire time of doing that because I needed to see what I was doing so I didn't buy it myself Yes, I'm right.  I left it recording. I left it recording.  There we go. Hello. Hi. I feel tall cause my camera's smaller than me. What's going on? It's weird you being behind my camera because I'm trying to focus on the lens and I can't look there Because if you find I can't look there, so it just looks like I'm just loody I'm not gonna say what I was about to say.  I didn't just call my scales a devil No, hi Should I do a camera budget? Hi, I don't know. I just had to do that. I had to I'm sorry. I'll I'll leave. I Haven't been capable of filming a video. Oh, I'm out of focus horrendously out of focus. So one makeup is pretty Different today. Hi. Hello. We've still got Tom in the background I like Tom. Tom's nice. Tom made me die earlier on my bed in sort of vlog clip. I'm dead. I died I don't know life's happening I'm dead. Yeah, thanks Tom. Like you. But y'all also I mean you and me using snapchat more and I also use TikTok So go follow me on them to some media's they are in the description down below.  I'm going to be doing a video about why it's okay to cry I know yeah, my makeup. It's very fitting for this video. I was gonna film a different video Why didn't end up filming that stuff? I didn't like the subject Serenity has been irritating behind the camera. Tom is playing the guitar and you know the underground is going past my window Life's good. I'm drinking it out of the mini cans off of the straw because my life is brilliant So people I'd say now I'm more and more aware of like the fact that crying is needed and crying is okay But I still think people get a bit afraid to cry. I don't know. I know I do like in public I went crying if I'm showing emotions in public this one. I'm seriously wrong I don't even think I've I think there's any a few videos on my channel of me crying And that was when I was like fully triggered and it's okay to cry It's okay to me to cry. It's okay to cry around people It's okay to help people if they're crying and it's okay to be alone and cry Crying alone sitting in a corner is one of the most comforting things I've ever done Because it gave me time to think on my own, which yeah, isn't the best thing sometimes But it does help because it's a way to release emotions. This is the most sad thing that I've ever done in my life One thing I see from a lot of people is I feel like crying or you see on twitter Have someone posting I feel like crying right now. My response would be just do it go and cry. It's okay What is Tom doing? He's doing a track thing So people have many different emotions emotions are a normal part of being a human believe it or not You and I I presume unless you're on a different planet in which case. Hello. Hi. I don't represent human race Emotions are a very real thing. We all have them It's a thing that goes on in life if you're not if you're or I suppose if you're a robot Actually, you wouldn't know what emotions are. Siri, can you define emotions for me? A strong feeling deriving from one's circumstances mood or relationships with others. Would you like to hear the remaining one?

Hello and let's talk about the judiciary. Now, the judiciary is often seen by a lot of people as a last resort in a country like India. A lot of responsibility lies on the judiciary, especially when it comes to checking the power and excesses of the executor. In recent times, though, many have asked if it is fulfilling its vital duty as a pillar of our democracy. The recent Prashant Bhushan case was one such instance where many such concerns were raised by lawyers and common people in society. But this is not just about one case but a larger trend. What can the judiciary do to address such concerns and restore confidence in the minds of democracy loving people? How can the judiciary be reclaimed by the people? Two of India's very eminent members of the legal fraternity, former chief justice of the Supreme Court Madan Lokur and Indira Jai Singh, senior advocate in the Supreme Court of India, discussed the issue. I'm just getting the impression that we, the judiciary in this country, is silent for want of a better world. And so far as I know, the only means that are available to citizens at the end of the day is to approach the judiciary for relief in situations of this kind. And if the judiciary goes silent, here no evil, see no evil, speak nothing, then do we, do we have a way of reclaiming the judiciary for ourselves and for the people of this country? I'd like to ask you this funny question. How do we reclaim the judiciary and bring it back to its God function of delivering justice? Yeah, you see, I have expressed a view on more than one occasion that our judiciary should introspect. Right? There should be a dialogue. If the judiciary thinks what they're doing is right, perfectly okay. You know, have a dialogue, have an introspection. If you come to the conclusion that what we are doing is okay, you know, a lot of people are talking a lot of nonsense, fair enough. If you think on introspection and dialogue, you know, with amongst themselves or amongst others, lawyers and so on, that, you know, something more needs to be done, fair enough, do it, you know, but not doing anything or apparently, apparently not doing anything because I don't know if something is happening or not. But apparently not doing anything is not helping anybody. You know, I very strongly think that it is, the time has come. There is a lot of, you know, criticism, so to speak, about the judiciary, you know, it may be valid, it may not be valid, I'm not going into that. But as long as it is there, you know, it is time for the judiciary to sit down and introspect. I'm not only talking about the Supreme Court, it could be the High Court.  The High Court judges need to sit down and say, you know, why are we getting these strange orders? You know, it could be any state. But I think that, you know, introspection, trying to find out, you know, are we on the right track? I think that's very, very important. Very interesting suggestion. I think some kind of a, some kind of a self audit by the judiciary of its own functioning from the point of view of rule of law, which is, in my opinion, the core function of the judiciary. How does, how do you maintain the rule of law and that if there could be a judicial audit, even if it is a self audit, even if, as you say, the judiciary introspect, even within themselves, if they could come up with some understanding of where do they stand on the issue of rule of law. Now, for me, it's a very interesting suggestion that you're making. You see, take sedition, for example. You know, why is bail being denied to people on the ground of sedition? Now, it is something which I think a lot of people in the legal profession are talking about. Is it not possible for the judges of the High Court or of the Supreme Court or whatever to sit down and say that, listen, why is it happening? You know, and is it right, you know, should bail be declined if they come to the conclusion that yes, bail should be declined, fair enough. But if they come to the conclusion that bail should not be declined and it is being declined, some corrective steps will need to be taken. So, yeah, introspection is necessary. Unfortunately, Justice Locour, an impression has grained ground in the media and among the public that judges have become executive minded. What they deliver is what the ruling parties or the governments of the day want them to deliver. This is the sad reality that we are faced with after having devoted our life to the judiciary. You as a judge, me as a practicing lawyer, and it makes me at least hang my head in shape. Yeah, there is, people have said that the judiciary has been executed, but then yeah, think about it. Our next segment is a conversation between writer Vijay Prashad and musician Roger Waters. I'm with the doom and gloom of our world, the hunger, the war, the corporate greed and the violence, the coups, the suppression of people, people's movements and environmental degradation. How does one find hope? Vijay and Roger Waters talk about the latter's iconic work, The Gunners Song, and finding hope in this context. Circling quickly back to The Gunners Dream, again, you know, Final Cut 1983. This is a period when Ronald Reagan is in the White House when the dirty wars in Central America have picked up once again a cycle of dirty wars. It's a very depressing period. And in a sense, we keep seeming to fall into these depressing periods in cycles. But back in a depressing period, there is not necessarily a dirty war in Central America, but there's this terrible hybrid war against Venezuela. There's a blockade on Cuba. There is just so much that's distressing in the world. Where do you go to pull hope from? You know, what keeps you going from a song you wrote in the 1980s to songs you're writing now? There are songs about the horrible things of the world, but there are also songs of hope. Where do you go to find that? What the hope? That's the hardest quest of all. To keep a grip on hope is really difficult. How do I do it? I do it by being looking at the microcosm, really. I say, all right, let me tell you this. There's a bloke in Texas who, through one of my correspondents, email correspondents I discovered, who is a vet, he's a Vietnam vet, he's been a political activist, blah, blah, blah. He had a couple of strokes a few months ago. And they came to my attention, so I looked into him to see if he was real or not. I decided he was real. And he was crowdfunding. And I don't know why. He was looking to raise 20 grand or something, and he raised, you know, three or something like that. And I read his story and looked into him and then checked with somebody who knew him. They said, this guy is a 100% really good man, you know. But so I decided to help him. So I sent him money. And I'm not going to tell you his name because it might embarrass him and it gets complicated. But so first of all, he changed his, after he'd accepted it, he changed his bank details because he suddenly panicked and thought I might be trying to steal money out of his bank account. So we had to get through it all again and I had to somehow convince him that I was real, you know, which I did. Anyway, I've remained in contact with him and it's only been a few months. And I sent him, I showed you a picture of our new puppy.  And it was the day after Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. And I said, bummer about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And he sent me this very eloquent letter back, desperately unhappy about the loss and the monumental loss of this great, wonderful woman and terrified of what may happen, you know, if the Supreme Court suddenly turns into six, three and is like that for the next 10 years or something. And blah, blah. What am I trying to tell you? Oh, but also there's a bit of chat in this later. He said, thank you again and blah, blah, blah. He said, he said, my house is old and falling down. And there's nothing that he said with the help you've given me, I'm turning two rooms into lettable space for two immigrant families. So that they've got somewhere warm and dry to put their feet up for a fraction of the money they're paying in the awful places that they're living at the moment. So he says, that's part of what, however. So he says, so we're turning now into a sanctuary. He said, that's all up to immigrant families. And also I've been providing shelter for women who've been raped in the army by good old US soldier boys and who are getting none of the help and support they need from the VA and so on and so forth. So here's this guy, he's had two little strokes and he's still bursting and bubbling with love for his fellow human beings. Well, that's what you're, that's where you find your hope. It's in little small personal stories about people who demonstrate that the gunner's dream lives on. And it would only have to be happening between one dreamer, who's also an activist and who acts upon the gunner's dream and somebody who needs it because it's the relationship between the helper giver, whatever, and the person and the person in need. In this case, immigrants would know where to live or whatever. It's that symbiotic relationship that it becomes a furnace of joy for everyone in him. And that is where hope springs. You know, I feel quite emotional even talking about it. All you need is that one little thing and you go, you know what, this is worth it. You have to keep fighting. You have to give by however small the ripples may be when you drop your pebble in the pond. They are going to reach other ripples or they're going to reach the shore somewhere and everything is a cause and has an effect. So you have to believe the dream is that your pebble means something. And it doesn't matter how much is, what matters is that it's a pebble of love. That's all that's important. And when you get an echo that comes back out of the darkness, you know, a ripple, you feel that tiny ripple from another pebble of love and you go, this is worth it. This is worth every ounce of energy that you put into it. Not least because if you're the two-stroke guy and you're helping, you're getting, you're almost certainly getting more out of it than the people who are so grateful to you for giving them a roof over their heads. Because that is the nature of the collective, that is the nature of community, that is the connection, that is the nature of loving one another and trying to help one another. So that's what I hope is. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from the country and the world. Until then, keep watching NewsClick.


It's incredibly inspiring to see how many passionate people are looking out for our communities as a whole. And when we see small wins at the state level, at the municipal level, when we see federal wins, on occasion, it doesn't happen as much as we'd like it to see. But all of those things with little wins are leading up to a big wave of democracy. And that's what's exciting for me. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are passionately working and fighting to make sure everyone's voice is heard.


Welcome folks, we have the Dow. The Dow finished down 20 in Aztec off 83, S&P's down 15.5 gold. Gold contract that down $10.30 at 2,073 an ounce. We had Silver off 33 cents, $24.04 an ounce, Light Sweet Crew down 37 cents, $71.40 a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year note, down 5 ticks, trading 112.23, the 30-year down 19 at 1.2417 in Kingdala. Kingdala, come on baby, don't mess with me here, what the heck are you, there it is, there it is, there it is, there it is, up 121 ticks, trading 101.350 Euro out here at 110 yen at 141 British pound at 1.27 to 1 US dollar. We kick off 2024 folks and S&P's have not hit the high yet so this is going to get kind of intriguing because the bottom line is that you're coming into 2024 and what you have is that you've got a lot of profits that are out there and normally what ends up happening at the beginning of the year, you're going to get a little selling because of the fact that you're not paying your taxes for the following April 15th, the year of April 15th. So we'll see how this shakes out come in at the beginning of the year but my take is that you're going to get a little selling first and yeah the ABC structures are still in place but I think we're going to get a little selling first because of the amount that was actually made out here. Notes and bonds still want higher price, right now you get the 10-year and this is the dynamic change that took place since October 13th, 14th. We went from 5.02 on the 10-year to 3.8. The lower end of this it's not a consolidation but the next leg down is 3.47 and 3.24 on the 10. My take is that we're going to go to 3.24 and that'll probably take you know six months or whatever that is. That will put the 30-year mortgage rate though at about five and a half and that's what it's going to take to basically really get this economy well the real estate economy off the ground. The home builders are at highs so you know the market is expected and that's what you're going to get. I want to thank everyone for joining us in 2023. I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy, prosperous new year coming into 2024. Have a great one folks and have a safe one. Wee! We'll get them folks.
