Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Photo Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is a Monday in FIFA 22. We know we're getting upgrade packs today, but we have a different conversation to talk about because after yesterday's content and even just thinking about it a little bit in general, this ShapeShifter's promo has gone on for too long and we need footies. So I wanna talk about that a little bit in today's video. Since we don't have any more leaks on footies, we just need it to drop because four weeks for a promo is actually really long and it's feeling a little bit boring now. It's getting a bit repetitive, but since it's Mondays, you know what's gonna happen today. Upgrade packs of some sort are gonna drop on the game. I do think we might have an idea of what player pick SBC would be dropping. Last week we had the 81 plus. I think this week we might step it up one notch and get the 82 plus like we did in the second week of ShapeShifters as EA oftentimes do follow a same schedule and a pattern. So we'll talk about that and of course, what other content we could get today. There's a pack that was added to the code last week. We have still not seen it yet and maybe today they would drop it either in objectives or as an SBC throughout the week. It could be today, could be later on, but I wanna draw some attention to that pack because it's a pretty awesome pack. It's a pretty legit pack. So we will see if that drops today, but we'll talk about that potential of course and look at the market still. We talked about in yesterday's video about some prices continuing to drop and with the content yesterday, we did see a decent amount of cards continue to fall on the market out of packs cards, in-packs cards, the like. As you guys remember seeing Dean and Tally, I sold him for three million coins on Saturday. He is now 2.2 mil. A Betty Pillay was like 1.7. He's now 1.3. So a lot of these card prices are down. There could be a few fluctuations today after a week of the rewards, but really I think it might stay pretty stagnant or slowly falling prices until we get those footies leaks later on this week. So we're gonna talk about that all and more in today's video. If you're enjoying the videos, of course, hit the thumbs up and of course subscribe if you're new. But let's just talk about that conversation we started at the very beginning about needing footies. Because if you guys think about this, when have we ever had a promo? And I mean, we have had promos that have gone kind of this long before. Usually footies is a really long promo like the summer promos end up being a little bit longer. But a shapeshifter's promo that has now gone on for four weeks, basically a whole entire month as we have shapeshifters team four in packs, it's really starting to feel repetitive. And what doesn't help is that EA Sports dropped the exact same icon moments SBC yesterday that we have had for the past three weeks now with the 92 plus moments. And they didn't even drop it like repeatable with no limit. They dropped it repeatable three times. So three weeks ago we could do it once. Last week we could do it twice. This week we can do it three times but it's still not like a legit repeatable icon player pick because you can't do it anymore than three times which at this stage of the game, I mean, unless you have a ton of coins and you really just want to have fun and gamble and try to get an insane icon for this price, this SBC is just, it's not it. It's the same price they released it at last week which I believe according to Footbin right now is about 500,000 coins. This might be one of the lowest like thumbs up percentage ratios on an SBC I've seen in a long time, 7% for a 92 plus moments player pick. People just know that yes it's fun to do moments player picks but this is just bad value because A, the price did not go down and B, icons at this stage of the game, they're just not it compared to all the shapeshifter cards that we are getting. Now I'm not here complaining that shapeshifters is a terrible promo because it is absolutely not. I mean, take a look at these cards that we are getting each and every week. We're getting really fun cards, great but items that people want to try out putting their teams and at least open up grade packs for, you know, the hero shapeshifters are a great part of this promo as well. So there are some positives. The SBCs have been pretty decent but I just think what we're really fighting right now in this game is a little bit of boredom and a little bit of what people just call dead FIFA vibes because A, it's July and B, I mean, this promo has gone on for four weeks now. We haven't had any sort of like refresh in terms of what EA is doing with the cards and the basis behind them. Again, like I said, it's been a great month now of great SBCs and a lot of players that have been dropped with some really cool position changes and stat boost and a lot of people have shape shifter cards in their teams now but we're just ready for something new and that's why I'm looking forward to the end of this week most of all because I'm ready for footies. Bring me the pink cards, right? We got a little bit of pink outline on these hero shapeshifters but just drop me a really good looking footies design and give me some SBCs and objectives and, you know, footies is always a fan favorite promo and that just brings some hype in its own right. It's just having a fan favorite promo that everybody has high expectations for because EA literally always delivers a good shape shifter's promo or sorry, footies promo, we're just ready for it. So I feel like that's kind of the vibe on the menus right now is a lot of people are just kind of not wanting to play FIFA that much at the moment because the content is just not that great. You get on every day at 6 p.m. Check the content, you're like, mm, it's not that good. Well, today when you get on and check the content, hopefully we have a pretty good upgrade pack SBC and we'll talk about that here in just a second but let me know down in the comments what you're feeling about shape shifters. If you think it's like, nah, in a minute, it's dead. I'm not playing the game very much right now. The objectives have been decent, right? The shape shifter's cup is really cool. I love the cup plus objective here to get a shape shifter's player pack. That was a W, this was a W. You know, the milestones, the swaps stuff, this is a W even though we have to play squad battles like technically this is not terrible. It's the fact that it's golden goal in these first two friendly modes is decent. Squad battle sucks, but you know, having summer swaps here alongside of shape shifters is helping a lot, I would say as well. Imagine last Friday having no summer swaps promo going on and just having that Friday content drop, it would have been really dead. So I do have to say that the summer swaps has been really nice too but that's gonna continue during footies and it sounds like we might even have a second summer swaps, right? Every time we see like a number one summer swaps one, we think that there could be a summer swaps two as well. It would maybe take us through October or not. I'm thinking way ahead now, August take us through the month of August inside of footies. So we'll be looking forward to that and hopefully we get some leaks, right? At least some information. I really think that footies might start as early as like Wednesday or Thursday of this week like legit in game. I think it was maybe even shaped you if there's where they started dropping the loading screen and they started telling us about the promo before it actually started. If we have a vote for a footies card, if they're gonna drop that SBC on a Friday, then of course they're gonna have to put that content out beforehand so that they can get the votes out there, the player pick for the votes. So we'll talk about that more on this week when we get more towards footies like legit starting but let's talk about today on Monday because there's still some cool stuff that should be happening today. Of course it's upgrade pack day and I have a little bit of a theory and it's not that crazy of a theory. Some of you guys might have guessed it as well. We had the 81 plus player pick during week one of shapeshifters. We had the 82 plus player pick during week two. We went back to the 81 plus for week three. I think today EA love to repeat themselves. I think they're gonna drop the 82 plus and kinda make it that 81 then 82, 81 then 82 cycle and complete that again. So hopefully today we have the 82 plus player pick which is kinda nice because out of most of the shapeshifter squads, I feel like this team four of shapeshifters is better than team three. That's just my opinion. There's more of like the middle tier cards. There's a couple more really expensive cards as well but I just feel like people would wanna pack a center back Kyle Walker, Cordoba if you haven't already got him. Dina Talley, Joe Cole for the interesting links that his card provides. A Betty Pele, Conte and even for myself, Dempsey. Yesterday they dropped the Cahill card, the Dove and Silva both at least fun items, right? Cahill looks really, really insane. The work rates are probably the only problem as he's high medium but I mean what a great card. Is a CDM as a box to box?  Just a lot of options for this Cahill card so that's a W in my opinion and all of those I think people would have a lot of enjoyment trying to pack and at least there's still a decent amount of SBCs that are out at the moment. You've got Bale, you've got Royce. You get a lot of these end of an era cards that are still here and haven't even expired yet. You've got the Chris Wood SBC which I have not completed. You had the really good value, Ricardo Padeira that was dropped over the weekend. So there's a lot of crafting that can be done. Can't forget about Milito either for the player pick for him. A lot of crafting can be done right now. So 82 plus upgrade pack will do well for this week and it should be a nice upgrade pack to be able to grind. Now I do remember that that one, the past couple of times it has been dropped. The requirements have been the same and they have been, I think it's 11 golds, six rares. So I don't believe that gold rares would go up that much but if you wanna be ahead of the game and you wanna start to stock up on a few of these just go out and catch them on bid for 650 coins. You'll be able to win just about every card there. I doubt that gold rares would really go up that much like for an investment with upgrade packs today. Probably not going up that much, maybe a little bit but nothing super crazy there. Now the other thing that I wanna talk about today on a Monday is we always get gamble packs on a Monday too, right? Like we have been getting these 85 plus player picks the last couple of weeks on a Monday and then we get to redo them certain times throughout the week. We had the 85 times five, I believe last Monday as well. Either Monday or Tuesday we had the 85 times five. I'm really curious to see if they dropped the 85 times five again today but there's one pack that's into the code and I really don't feel like this is gonna be dropping today but I feel like I wanna talk about it because this has not been covered much and this is a really, really big pack. We've seen the shapeshifter player pack already. That's the pack that's available in objectives from that plus objective or whatever it is from the shapeshifters friendly mode win five games get a guaranteed shapeshifter player. There's also a hero shapeshifter pack which guarantees one foot hero shapeshifter and since we finally had the last foot hero shapeshifter dropped yesterday in Mr. Tim Cahill, they can technically now drop this pack and I think today on Monday could be a time where they could go ahead and do that. I almost feel like this might not be an SBC though. A lot of these packs recently they have been dropping in objectives and speaking of objectives this is another part of Monday content that we have to think about today is we have a lot of objectives expiring. So if you are a little behind on maybe your squad battles grind for summer tokens, summer swap tokens, the milestone summer swaps one is going away today. Now I've completed them all but you know you've got air to visit EFL, Premier League, league one if you haven't got any of these done or you're like halfway through, make sure you get these done before content because I do believe that all of these are expiring today. This huge chunk of eight tokens is going away and it would be the third week in a row today if they decided to drop eight more tokens which I think they probably need to because summer swaps goes until like what July 22nd there's 20 something. So we have like a week and a half or like 10 to 11 days left of the summer swaps number one. So I feel like today is we take a look at the token tracker from criminal FIFA on Twitter. I feel like today might be another day where all of these eight tokens are going away up here right here at the top and we might get eight more today. That's kind of been how they've been keeping up with the schedule of the summer swap tokens as they drop like one every day or one every other day. And then on Mondays they drop like eight of them. So maybe today we'll get another objective with eight more maybe summer swaps three and just maybe for the completion of all of those we will get a foot hero shapeshifter player. That would be pretty dope. So just keep an eye out for this pack today and of course keep an eye out for some more objectives. Not really any way you can prepare for that unless it gets leaked. But again, these objectives have not been that difficult. So you just put in some bronze, silver cards or they use top five leaks. They have not used the Bundesliga yet. If you take a look, we've had Premier League league on. We have not seen Bundesliga from a top five league perspective in the friendly. So maybe something Bundesliga related is going to be dropping today. It's objective based. I could see that happening. So related to Monday content that's kind of what I'm expecting. Some new tokens in the objective since we've seen it the past couple of weeks.  It's just some sort of player pick today. I'm just kind of assuming it'll be the 82 plus and then you know maybe the 85 times five returns which personally I'm very tempted to open at least one or two of the 85 times fives. I didn't open them last week. You know I really would love to pack at the Conte Dempsey. I would really enjoy packing of course, you know, Conte, Dina Talley, Kyle Walker or Betty Pele. I got all the ones that I did from last week still sitting here as I've kind of decided that I'm saving some of my higher tier packs for footies but I'm probably still gonna open them. Maybe if they drop the 85 times five maybe I'll open the ones they put out this week and save a few of them for footies just because I know and I've been talking about this for the past couple of days that just again realize that right now there are what 14 cards in packs. When they drop the footies re-release the batches of cards in packs we're looking at like 50 to 100 special cards in packs which means your fodder packs like that look amazing. So that's why I'm holding off and open some of those but I think between the 85 times five or the 80 plus player pick I think that that would be my opinion as 82 plus player pick the 85 plus player pick or the 85 five some sort of variation of those should be our content today on a Monday. How much is Kyle Walker 1.14? So speaking of the market, let's talk market and actually let's talk fodder part of the market first. Since yesterday's 92 plus moments SBC was such a downer for a lot of people and not very exciting and you get, you know people are just not really excited about the content on FIFA at the moment. A lot of your SBC fodder actually didn't go up yesterday it actually went down. Take a look at the lower tier of cards. 83s are 1K and under 84s are 3000 coins flat. They're down like two or 300 coins a card which is not very much on the grand scheme of things. So if you bought fodder yesterday you're chilling, right? There's really, you're really chilling. You're only not chilling if you bought.  Harry Kane from 38K down to 32. Now that's really low. Daily graph, how low are we? 32K, that's really, really low. Honestly, that to me is getting really close to a club stock for the higher tier. How much is Lewa? 49K, okay that's down. The Bruin 40,000 coins. So some of this higher tier stuff is dropping which makes sense a little bit but man, 31K for some of these golds. They must be doing like late night lightning rounds or something. Can I check this store really fast again? Because that either is a combination of people is panic selling some fodder. People that are worried about previous special cards being re-released and dropping fodder prices on the high tier end which could happen later on in the week but we still could have the potential of like a 93 plus tots slash shape shifter pack dropping again, 32K for some of these cards. That is, that's really, really cheap. So if you wanna do a club stock on the higher tier stuff, 31,000 coins for a Harold Kane, I will do that all day. You haven't seen sub like 35K for these cards in multiple, multiple weeks. And even though we say that the icon moments player picks are not very good, people still do them. People still craft them with upgrade packs during the week. So I'm gonna club stock a couple 90s here. Just a couple cards are really, really fast. It's literally gonna send me back 90,000 coins and it's not that big of a deal.  Unless they make the hero shape shifter like a SBC that would be some content that I would think make the higher tier stuff on the market rise. But that's why I was really pointing out the low tier market yesterday because an 85 times five pack, that's gonna make 83s and 84s go up and people always do those regardless. They're either gonna do it and open it now for shape shifters or they're gonna do it and save it for footies. So that's why I like the 83s, 84s, 85s. That part of the market the most, little bit more annoying because if you wanna make more profit you have to buy more of them, also spend more time selling all of them but that's the fodder way. So if you got that time, you wanna make a few coins, definitely look in that range or if you just wanna stock the club and say, hey Nate, I wanna do SBCs this week, stock the club, buy the cars. I think they're at a great price, 3K for those is really, really good. So that's kind of my aspect on the fodder market at the moment. It's still low because the content is not that great. Hopefully the switch flips this week and we get a little bit better content but we will see. Cause it's starting to feel really repetitive. Even if we get a 93 plus hot slash shape shifter, like people love that SBC, right? But that would even feel a little bit repetitive since we have had that. I think it's, has it been the last three weeks that we have had that, at least two. I remember that having it for two weeks in a row now but it might've been three we've had that SBC. So EA, just do something this week to mix it up. And that's where I hope that hero shapeshifter or just the regular shapeshifter guaranteed pack could come into play. You know, they dropped the year in review player pick a couple of weeks ago. That's still an L in my opinion. So I'm not super excited if they did something like that, but hopefully we get some like a couple more player SBCs would be nice. We have literally zero leaks at the moment, which is a little bit not worrisome but just odd that we don't have any player leaks. Usually we get a player SBC or two on a Tuesday or like a Thursday of the promo. I think we got, we got Marco Royce on Thursday of last week, right? So we have, and he was leaked I believe last week on, I think it was either Monday or Tuesday. So at the moment we have zero leaks, but I would assume that one or two more SBC players would come out during the course of this next week on this game. So that's something I would keep an eye out for as well. Now let's talk market for a little bit because like we talked about in yesterday's video saying, hey guys, watch out. Some of these price on the market are gonna be dropping on the meta side of things. We looked at El Shirawi and we looked at Neymar and it's actually kind of funny because I looked at both of these cards right before recording here and El Shirawi is like the same price. He's like 290, right? 280, 290, he's really just chilling there, hasn't moved and Neymar is down. So what I actually saw a lot of yesterday was the top tier market dropped more than the lower tier market. Neymar is now 2.97 after being 3.1 yesterday. Similar things happening with the high tier on the shape-trip through cards, right? The foot heroes, Abedi was 1.7 yesterday and right now I believe he's like 1.3. Now I'm not gonna say that these cards are going to like keep dying today. I think they could keep dropping a little bit, but also I think there's potential for some bounce backs on your really, really rare ones. Like the fact that Kante was 4.5 or something like that yesterday and right now he's like 3.9. He might've just bounced back up off of rarity. Now he's still 3.9. I think he was a little bit lower than that for a second.  I was able to sell a couple of mine. You saw me buy like two on last night's video. I sold one and was able to make some profit at selling it at 3.77. And now this guy is 290. Like check out this Joe Cole card, man. He is down really, really bad. So that's kind of interesting to see. He also is pretty rare still. So I'm going to keep an eye on this dude. You might have a couple fluctuations today, really short term, bounces up in price. Like actually Dina Talley would be one. I mean, I'm telling you guys, this guy's down a mil from where I sold them at on Saturday. And I know I got slightly lucky with that sale. But the fact that this dude is now 2.... Is he like 2 mil, 2.15? If I see close to 2 mil flat with this card again, I'm probably picking it up and trying to try him out for a few games because he's a really, really rare card. One of the most rare hero shapeshifters that we have, only one page on the market right now. He's almost as rare as like Kante and Walker, right?  But back to the rest of the market for a second. I think that some cards will have a slight bounce back today. But like I said, really most of your panic was on more of the expensive tier cards. But I think that just because people know that what's coming with footies is going to be some pretty expensive SBCs, some really cheap ones. But also when these cards get re-released back into packs, their prices drop a ton. So that's where most of the panic selling is going to be, continue to be seen throughout the rest of the week this week. Heroes from shapeshifters from team three, Sane is still chilling maybe down like 10K, Ribery 3.6, that's nothing crazy down. Gomez 121 is actually up a little bit, Valverde 750. So again, some of your like lower tier cards haven't moved that much. Ramos is still up, Marcello is down a little bit. You know, Tierney 130, Corona 167. I think I looked at a tall and he was still 200K, 195. Davies is 282. So it's just kind of a little bit of everything. But I really think you're going to see the market get hit more in the middle tier range, the low tier range. Like the 500K and less cards, those are the ones that are going to drop in price more later on this week when we get like an official loading screen, right? Because casuals that don't follow the game as much, maybe on the leaks and stuff like that. There's still a lot of those people that are out there playing FIFA right now. But those are the people that are going to see a loading screen later on this week and then be like, oh my goodness, footies is coming. That's going to cause some chaos and cause some movement on the market. So that's kind of what I would watch out for for the rest of this week is more of that chaos and panic honestly to happen. But that's why we're getting ahead of it earlier this weekend and we talked about it in yesterday's video. And even on the stream on Friday, I remember mentioning like, hey guys, there might be some opportunities to sell some cards here pretty soon just because we know what is upcoming and that is a lot of hype for the footies promo. So we still have 16 million coins. We are pretty liquid at the moment. I have a few random things in my transfer list so I would probably all add up to about 16 mil. But I'm ready for upgrade packs today.  I really want to try to pack Clint Dempsey. That's going to be the guy I go for this week. Clint Dempsey would be great. And then of course, if we hit a Conte, we do have dupe theory on our side with Conte.  And I think Twitter would just completely turn on me and everybody would hate to put a count. So that's just jokes. But the dupe theory is real recently on this account with Pacluck with the Messi in particular. So yeah, I'm going to open upgrade packs today and absolutely go for it. But hopefully some of the content that we get throughout the rest of this week can just kind of push us through and pull us through into footies because this is the way we were feeling last week as well. We were just hanging on and waiting for footies and EA dragged this promo out another week. They did drop some nice cards, but they're dragging it out another week and it's got us just waiting. And we're Jones in for footies is really what it feels like. We need the pink cards, EA sports. So we're going to follow that side of the leaks and of the market and everything related to footies really, really closely this week waiting very, not so patiently for some big time news about footies later on from EA or leakers later on this week. So if you're excited for upgrade packs though, it should be a fun Monday regardless. We do live streaming link down below in the description. If you want to see us open upgrade packs today, try to pack some of these shapeshifter cards and see what swap tokens they drop because also today might be the day for me depending on how many more tokens I can get done. It might be 95 plus shapeshifters player pick time for me because I am knocking on the doorstep of 23 tokens. I think I'm two away. So two or three away and then we'll have a big time player pick and that'll be a lot of fun. So check that link down below in the description. But if you did enjoy the video today, hit a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions of course as always and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.

Mae'r ddweud i'r gendith yma'r ydylliannol. time because they represent a different class from us we represent I think working people whereas they represent the system and the continuation of the system and I think this demand and this initiative of a recall conference is a very important one because it allows us to galvanise the left I think first of all first and foremost and also to mobilise the rank and file of the party in a positive way in order to come back to these attacks and get on the right foot as it were and I think we have a great opportunity of course there are those perhaps in the party or perhaps who think well you know this thing it'll it'll blow over you know that give it time and whatever you do don't rock the boat then we will be there come and be back and everything will come back to normal well I don't think so I don't believe so one I ought to because I believe that the right wing are determined to carry this war through to the end and the reason why they are so bitter and so determined I think is because of the last five years as well that they they had a bad experience in the Corbyn they lost control and after all these people particularly in the parliamentary Labour Party thought they ruled the roost you know that they had a job for life and that their interests were protected well and truly and when Corbyn won the election for leader and hundreds of thousands of people joined the party to become a real party that was a threat as far as they were concerned a threat to their interests and therefore today they're determined now they're back in the saddle unfortunately they're determined to uh yes to to carry through a counter-revolution you know against the rag and file and that that's been made plain I think uh over over the past a couple of years I mean I remember Tony Blair it was at two years it was said well to bring the Labour Party back to what it really was what it should be we need to get rid of 300 000 members in other words you had to purge the party and that's what they're trying to do first of all by trying to demoralise the Labour Party demoralise the ranks and well let's be clear they've succeeded in a certain way you know 100 000 people understand have left the party through disillusionment and despondency and you know if we're allowed to continue they'll wreck the whole show basically and therefore it's a yes I believe it's a a fight and a half and people need to understand what it's it's a fight this is not a tea party you know this is a fight to the finish for the left as well because they will continue all the way through in my opinion and as we know we know in all great fights you know weakness invites aggression isn't it and the weak uh weakness that we are perceived of the the greater strength that they they gain from that and I think we have to learn some some lessons as well you know I don't think we are above not not learning a few tricks from the last five years because this war hasn't been going on for five minutes or a few months it's been going on for five years as soon as Jeremy was elected leader of the party they come out of this the trap straight away to undermine him undermine the membership undermine the election prospects everything in the book obviously backed by the capitalist media the capitalist class the establishment or behind these people because that's what they represent they want the the Labour Party back in safe hands safe hands for capitalism and the Labour Party is a very important weapon from that point of view as far as they're concerned and they certainly don't want the rank and file to get a get their mitts on it so therefore the the the right wing we're conducting this guerrilla warfare and what else could you say it's a I mean I couldn't I mean I know that perhaps I may get carried away with a few words here and there perhaps it's the Welshness in me I don't know but it's like a fifth column operating in the Labour Party you know they were destroying everything they possibly could include in electoral responses you saw that even in 2017 where my old friend was at Stephen Kinac when he was interviewing that you could see when he was told that Labour was at a head and gaining he was a face of despondency why because they wanted it to lose the election in order to discredit Corbyn and drag him down that's what happened in 2019 unfortunately and the rank and file have never had a say on it and that's about time the rank and file did I think you know there's a a meme going round about Corbyn saying the real strength of the party is the rank and file I couldn't agree with him more but we've got to give you know power to the rank and file and that means a conference and we'll have a conference as far as I'm concerned because that's the only way we can you know call these people to order and democracy must be in the rank and file is I mean we have lost a trick or two I mean I mean despair sometimes I think wow you know when the right wing gets gets in they're pretty determined you know can't fault one at where the left had a chance at a great opportunity you know for five years and well I know the right wing was spitting in our faces and we were kind of wiping it off and there were stabbers in the back and we were because we wanted all unity unity well I'm in favour of unity but I'm not in favour of unity if people are stabbing me in the back I want genuine unity of socialist prepared to change society and fight for the interests of working people not careerists not Tory infiltrators in the party because that's what these people are and that's what they represent and therefore we have to put power in the hands of the rank and file it's a shame by the way isn't it in 2019 2018 rather at the Labour Party conference we've given the opportunity to have open selection in the words we can now control over our representatives what a democratic right that was and yet we were robbed of it robbed of it 90% of constituency parties were in favour of that initiative which would have been which would have been a game changer I would have bought real democracy into the ranks itself but we were denied it and that was a ffaithful ffaithful move really because then it allowed them to get on there you know they felt secure of course that few of them split away but we knew what the agenda was and they were there as a trojan horse within the Labour waiting and we saw what happened you know 2019 oh everything came showered down you know all the living dead were brought out on the television the lord so-and-so lord straw and all of them mandelson and the rest of them shouting about how bad the election result was the worst results in 1935 in fact we gained more votes than in 2015 more votes than 2010 and more thoughts than 2005 but of course they didn't care about that they had one agenda and that was to destroy gobin and now what they done they got rid of him you know out of the party he's not a Labour MP and now they're going for those who support them and those parties were former danger like in Liverpool for instance and that's where they attack them or Bristol or in Sheffield or elsewhere so therefore it's a real fight and a half and we must be up for it we can't just pussyfoot around now and therefore I hope that the left will galvanize itself will take note from what's happening because there's no letter it's like a you know a blitz streak against the left in the party and if you don't fight back now then we'll really be in trouble so this opportunity for the the conference is spot on spot on we have to and look oh it's something so where are we going to get look full force at the point of attack that's the military angle in other words you go first you see something and you go for it helpful either and that's what requires this conference itself mobilizing constituencies mobilizing unions galvanizing support for it and focus it on getting at if it isn't about well we use the energy because we're not giving up we're not giving up on this struggle we'll use the energy and the strength he mobilized to carry on the struggle itself because it is a living struggle and we can win we have the power we have the majority in effect they have the machine and therefore are we going to take it you know it's like you know Shelly said you know arise like lions lionesses I should say you know in in vanquishable numbers rise up you've got the power let us take it because democracy lies with a rank and file to decide the character not this pro capitalist austerity nonsense but fighting for ordinary working people and the fighting for the ideas of socialism thank you


Welcome to Hack and Sack Meridian Health's podcast series for Women's History Month. I'm your host Jody Mayberry. This episode we're going to talk to Ann Gavzi. Ann is an executive vice president and health network general counsel. With Ann we're going to explore the topic of mentoring. We're going to discuss the impact a mentor can have on your career and much more. This podcast is part of a series of dynamic short interviews sponsored by the Hack and Sack Meridian Health's Women in Leadership Team Member Resource Group. This group selected topics of this series they knew were important to your career. Let's get started with Ann Gavzi. Ann what impact can a mentor have on someone's career? Mentoring is huge. I really am a big believer in mentoring because it connects to so many other things. Mentoring not only helps somebody as it relates to their career but it helps them to connect to the organization that they're working for. Mentoring drives culture, it drives team member engagement, it drives a sense of belonging because if a mentor helps the mentee become successful that person is a happier person. They feel more engaged and rewarded and fulfilled in their job and as a result, you know, and I think the studies show this as it relates to whether it's patient satisfaction or team member engagement they do a better job. So it's a home run all the way around and it allows people to develop relationship and mentoring really is a huge component of that, very important. We're a very large organization, 33,000 team members strong but I think of us as a family. It's the nature of what we do, it's the nature of the culture, it's the nature of what is incredible leadership at the top with our co-CEOs and our board. So mentoring is really, it's woven into a lot of different aspects of a person's success, the organization's success, it's just a home run all around. Until you gave that answer, I had always thought of mentorship really in one way, that it helps me as the mentee and it does help the mentor, it really does help to teach somebody else what you learn. I had never thought of the impact on the organization on how it can help pass on institutional knowledge and culture. Do you think that is one of the reasons an organization should look towards mentoring? Yeah, I think it's a confirmation that one not only do they believe in their team members, not only do they want to help them succeed and engage in professional development, but again, I think it really does align the organization's goals with leaders and team members that are being mentoring together. I really think there's a solid connection between a strong mentoring culture and the success of an organization. So if we're somebody who is looking for a mentor, what are some simple ways to initiate an informal mentoring relationship with a leader we may admire? That's a great question because very often organizations have formal mentoring programs. But mentoring happens every day in less formal ways. I'll take my team, for example. My team is a very, very connected, cohesive, collaborative team. I meet with my direct report once a week and that meeting can be 10 minutes if they really don't have anything that they need to talk about. It can be an hour if we have a project or an issue or an initiative that we need to focus on. But I consider every one of those interactions a form of mentoring and coaching. And then what happens is as I model that role with my direct reports, they model the same role with their direct reports and on and on and on it goes. So mentoring happens every day. Sometimes we don't even know we're doing it. And then there are very formal programs that you couldn't have. I was involved in a formal program many years ago at what was then Meridian health. And it was a development program for people. We used to call them high potentials and it was a leadership development program. And as part of that program, there was a mentoring component to it. I was assigned a mentee and they were assigned me. They were not in my area so that it wasn't as if it was a subject matter connection, but it was a connection because they were on the rise and I was already in senior management. And it didn't deal so much with substantive expertise, but other types of leadership characteristics. And it was so much fun for me because she was wonderful and she was very receptive to the program. And we really addressed questions and areas that she really wanted to improve on. One of the examples is that she was a little hesitant to speak in large groups that were composed of senior leaders outside her subject matter expertise. And so we practice, we actually practice together and lawyers like to talk. So we usually don't have problems given presentations. So it was in the area that I could give her a number of tips and suggestions on. And it worked out really well. She advanced throughout the organization and she is now one of our senior executives. So it was a great experience for her, I think, because she really was able to ask questions in a very safe setting with me. And I really enjoyed it as well. I don't know if she knew how much I enjoyed working with her, but it was it was really great. That example you gave is a perfect example of a very good mentor-mentee relationship. How do you know if a mentor and a mentee are a good match together? It may be sort of a cliche, but I think that there's a certain click, you know, how you meet, you can meet somebody for the first time and you hit it off. I mean, that's another term that's used. You know, sometimes it may not work. There may not be that smooth connection because people have different styles, right? And get comfortable with certain styles and not with others. If that happens, both sides should really speak up because you really do need that click, that fit, that ease of communication to get the very best results in a mentor-mentee relationship. So if that happens, and sometimes it doesn't mean anybody's done anything wrong, but sometimes it just isn't that immediate click. What advice do you have to keep a mentor in relationship active and healthy? I think it takes effort on both sides. It takes an understanding as to what the ground rules are. More important than anything else, when a mentor-mentee are working together, that environment has to be safe. Think of it as almost like a privileged conversation, right? So they have to be willing and able and comfortable enough to share what are either concerns or areas where they feel they may need some improvement. And it opens up a little bit of a vulnerability for somebody to say, well, you know, I have these issues, I'm concerned about this. And then the other side of it is on the mentor side is that what a mentor does very often is give encouragement, give suggestions. But they're also giving constructive criticism, and there's a way to deliver that so that it's positive, even though you're dealing with something that needs to be improved, I believe in honest dialogue, open dialogue, you know, a free flow of ideas. And then it usually goes from there. And it usually goes fairly well if everybody understands that it's really a safe environment and everybody's going to put the time and effort into it because the number one factor around here, because this is such a large act of health network dealing with so many different issues is time, right? Because in addition to the time that you spend at work, you also have your family and your other interests that need time as well. So if the mentor is going to spend the time and take that precious resource and hopefully assist the mentee, everybody's got to be working, working towards the goal that's agreed upon. As a mentor, do you have an expectation of the person that you're sharing with that they're they're going to do something with what they learn? My expectation is that they'll hear me and evaluate either the experience or the advice that I have. You never expect your mentee to be a robot and just do what you suggested, right? These are suggestions based upon experience, based upon, you know, various knowledge points. So long as it's taken in in an open way, considered. And then the mentee has to make their own decision. So that would be my expectation. Take advantage of the fact that the culture here at Hackensack Meridian Health is so giving and so open to things like coaching and mentoring. And push your mentors a little bit, ask the hard questions. It's a lot of talent in this organization. They're they're all up to it. It should be good for the individual, good for the organization. I'm a strong supporter. Thank you for listening. After hearing from Anne, I hope you are excited about working with a mentor. If you enjoyed this conversation, check out the other topics in this series of podcasts.


Okay, so let's talk about a clip from the Candice Owens show, and yes, unfortunately, that is a thing. Now if you know anything about Candice Owens, you know that he absolutely hates transgender people. And as always saying, some transphobic, explicitly hateful thing about this marginalized and vulnerable community. But in this particular clip that I'm about to play for you, Candice Owens is going to take the trance hate, and he's going to turn it up to an 11. So let's go ahead and watch. It's a short clip, but I have so much to say about this. I could talk about this literally for hours, possibly, but I'll bring it down for you and why everything that he's saying here is disgusting. I even, I'm actually like staunchly conservative when it comes to the trans to be and people say, Oh, well, even if a person is trans, you should have the decency and the respect to call them by their preferred pronoun. I don't play that game. And what I always say to people is if you have a mental disorder, that's fine.  That would be rude.  Which is to say that if somebody was walking around as a schizophrenic and saying that they were Superman and then telling me that I was required to treat them like Superman, I wouldn't play the game. That's how I feel about trans. I think the slope is so slippery and they find that to be bigotry.   That's literally telling me that I am now required to have a mental disorder because you have one. You know, I try to do it in public where I will not use the fake pronoun.  The only people misgendering anybody are the ones pretending the man is a woman. That's correct. So I refuse to refer to the man as she. However, in an interpersonal, if we were at a dinner party or something, I will use whatever language he wants me to use to refer to him in the same way that if there were a schizophrenic at a dinner party, I would indulge the delusion that there were voices speaking. It is a, obviously it's a psychological condition, but what the left wants is to have their cake and eat it too. They want to say this is a very serious psychological condition and you have to indulge it. Also, you have to treat it as though it's objectively true. Right. Change the bathroom signs now, right? Change the bathroom signs. Because this person now needs to feel like there's a place for them to go that safe. And I'm like, could you imagine a world? Take it out of the transit bay where we had to now accommodate everyone that was suffering with schizophrenia and we needed to make the world look like as they were seeing it or the voices that they were hearing.  People would say that was crazy, that that was nuts, but they think it's different somehow with the trans debate. And I don't know why the trans debate is now being steamrolled into the LGBTQ debate. How is that not obvious to you? How do you not recognize the commonality between all people within the broad LGBTQ plus category? The reason why we put LGB and T in the same category is because we all violate the same sex and gender norms. I don't know how she hasn't picked up on this yet since she talks about it all the time, but I mean, when you are born, and let's say you're born with a penis, well society ascribes a role to you. You're supposed to act masculine.  And if you're born with a vagina, you're supposed to act feminine and express yourself that way. And wear dresses and have long hair and date men and be attracted to men, but not everyone fits neatly into one box. Lesbians, gays and bisexuals, as well as transgender people and non-binary people don't conform, but yet we still are discriminated against because we violate the same sex and gender norms that have been assigned to us at birth. That's why we put all of them in the same category. I don't even know how this is an obvious at this point, but everything that Candace Owens says here, he takes the hate and he takes it further than ever before. And by the way, since Candace Owens isn't going to respect the preferred pronouns of transgender people, then I have absolutely no reason to respect his preferred pronouns. So I'm assuming that Candace would like to use she, her pronouns, but I mean, I'm not going to respect hers if she's not going to respect trans peoples. So I will be using male pronouns to refer to Candace Owens because if you want to be addicted to trans people, then you need to expect that there are going to be people that will give you a taste of your own medicine.  It's incorrect and it's laughable. Like this is stupidity that we just saw. Quote, I'm stonestly conservative when it comes to the trans debate and people say, oh well, even if a person is trans, you should have the decency and respect to call them by their preferred pronoun. I don't play that game. Okay, so I won't play that game either, but how is this a game? Like respecting people and not being dicks to people? That's a game to Candace Owens. Respecting the wishes of someone is a game to her. Oh no, I don't have to play that game because it's a fact scientifically speaking because I definitely know what I'm talking about that you are not biologically male or female. So I don't have to play that quote unquote game because facts first, facts don't care about your feelings, but when it comes to climate change, I don't believe this like at all just so you know.  That's now literally requiring me to have a mental disorder because you have one.  There are bugs crawling on the wall. No, I don't have to do that. So what she's saying here is really dumb and the example that she uses, like she creates an analogy to demonstrate why we shouldn't do this. Quote, if somebody were walking around as a schizophrenic and telling me they're Superman, I'm required to treat them like they're Superman, I wouldn't play that game.   Like, there are people in the world who express themselves as either masculine or feminine somewhere in between or somewhere outside of that spectrum, but there is nobody in the world who is capable of flying and having superhuman strength. Like, do you understand why these are not the same things, Candice? One of them actually is not realistic in the laws of physics, like somebody can't literally be Superman, but somebody can express a gender identity, we all do it. So what are you talking about? What are you even talking about? Obviously, this is a false equivalence, but understand what she's doing here.  She's essentially saying that gender dysphoria and schizophrenia, these are comparable. These are basically the same things. Take it from me because I definitely know more than the American Psychological Association. I know more than the American Medical Association. So disregard what they say about gender dysphoria and mental health and listen to what I say. And what she says is basically, look, you've got to rip the Band-Aid off. You need to tell people that you were born male, so you're a man. Don't bind to their delusions according to Candice Owens. I mean, what she's essentially proposing here is a type of cognitive behavioral exposure type therapy to trans people where you believe that, you know, the best way to overcome a mental health issue or something that you're fearful of more specifically is you get exposure to it. What she's saying is, you know, if trans people are given the same type of recommendation, if we tell them just be exposed to what makes you feel uncomfortable, that is your original gender that was assigned to you at birth on the basis of your sex, then obviously that's a way to overcome it. So I'm actually helping you because by saying, no, you're not actually a man, I'm exposing you to the reality of the situation and that's good for you. Except there's a flaw with this line of thinking and why it's obviously a false equivalence. Transgender people have undergone the most extensive exposure therapy imaginable. They lived their lives as the gender that they don't identify with. They have a brain that is the opposite gender than the one that was assigned to them, so they've been exposed to it and they didn't just willy-nilly decide, you know what, I think I want to try living as the opposite gender or a non-binary gender just to see how it feels, they've been exposed to it.  Don't you find it odd that plastic surgery can cure a mental disorder? This reminds me of, there was a subreddit before.  Now what's insane about this is that people in this subreddit, they actually diluted themselves into thinking that they weren't just bullying people who were overweight. They were actually doing something good because the idea was, if we just make fun of these people that will give them the courage to change because they'll see how disgusting we think they are and then that will encourage them to lose weight. A problem though is that this doesn't work. Shaming people into doing what you think is best for them is never a strategy that is best for them. In fact, it's incredibly destructive. And as she says this about trans people, she acts like she's saying something revolutionary. Like, do you realize that for every historically marginalized and oppressed group in society, this has been the same response? Like, you're not proposing anything new and innovative. What did we say about gay people?  If we just force them to date the opposite gender then eventually they'll get over it. Oh, what's that? You want to be in an interracial relationship? Don't you know that this is not natural? So we should tell them directly that we disapprove. Oh, what's that? You're a slave and you think you should have equal rights as me? A white property owner? Well, I should tell you that you're being delusional here. I mean, what she's saying is completely old. It's been what we use to justify bigotry against marginalized communities. What Candace Owens is saying is, look, I have the solution.  But it's incredibly hateful. You're literally encouraging hatred. You're encouraging hatred and history is going to judge you, Candace, very harshly because of this. Now, I know that Candace Owens himself will be fine, right? Candace Owens is always going to be able to make money off of this grift so long as she remains committed to this right-wing conservative ideology because there's going to be a market need for her type of shilling. But for the people who watch Candace Owens, who actually respect her and take what she's saying seriously, they're going to make social media posts about transgender people and how horrible they are and disgusting they are and then 10, 15 years down the line when transgender people are actually fully accepted and have full rights because that's going to happen, we will win this battle, then these people will get fired, they'll have to come out and apologize. But look, you don't even have to put yourself through all of this misery. We've seen this story play out before. Civil rights will be one for transgender people and we're never going to fully get 100% success rate in terms of social acceptance, but by and large, just like gay people, the tide will turn in their favor. It's just a matter of when will that happen and which side do you want to be on? Because this isn't a debate Candace, it's non-debatable. We don't debate whether or not we treat people who are different than us as equals. We just treat them equally and those who don't will be judged very harshly by history. So that's all I'll say, I'll leave it there because I could talk about this for a really long time because this is personal to me. Like, I am part of the LGBTQ community. I may be cisgender, but these are my people. These are my people. And so you are actively encouraging people to treat them poorly and you're trying to do that under the guise of, oh no, no, I'm helping them, I promise you.  I hope that you wake up because being hateful, it may pay off for you in the short term, but long term, you're not helping yourself and you're certainly not helping society Candace.


Am I leaving my job to pursue YouTube full-time? This is the question that I'm answering today. I'm so excited for this and I'm also going to share with you how much money I made exactly from my first paycheck on YouTube. If you're a returning subscriber, welcome back. Good to see you again. If you're new here, hello, welcome. My name's Habiba. Be sure to subscribe and give this video a thumbs up and I'm so excited to have you here. Let's talk about monetization on YouTube when I started this YouTube channel. But first off, why am I making this video? So many reasons.  And also for me to keep track of how this YouTube channel is growing over time. Let me grab my laptop. I'm going to be taking you over to my analytics. I'm going to show you my revenue and all of the details that you'll probably will be interested in. But first off, when did I create this YouTube channel? I started this YouTube channel back in August 11th of 2019. My intention in the beginning was to really create a platform where I can share my hiking trips and backpacking with family and friends. And obviously I had so much fun doing it that it grew to something a little bit more than that. You probably already know that in order for you to get monetized on YouTube, it's not that you just create your first video on YouTube and you start making money. It's not like that. But there are some criteria in order for you to be eligible and to get monetized. Two criteria. One, you should have 1000 subscribers on your YouTube channel. And then two, you should have 4000 hours of watch time accumulated over the past 12 months. A lot of new content creators struggle with the 4000 hours of watch time, which it is a lot of watch time. You have to have a lot of people sitting there and watching your content. Once you meet them, you are eligible to apply for the YouTube partnership program, YPP. So once you reach that milestone, you will receive an email from YouTube that says, Hey, you are eligible. You can go ahead and apply and they're going to walk you through the process. And once you apply, it probably take between two days in order for them to come back to you and say your channel is looking good. You are now in the YouTube partner program. And basically what YouTube does, they just want to make sure that the type of content that you are creating is aligned with their policy and rules and it's not offensive or derogatory. And they also want to make sure that you have 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time. How do you start making money? Once you get accepted into the YouTube partnership program is when you can start making money from ads on YouTube. And usually these ads are the ones that you see placed on videos and you can skip through them. And sometimes they're just like a banner in the bottom of the video. There are so many type of ads placed on your video. And this is how you start making money basically. I'm going to take you over to my analytics right now. And I'm going to share with you a couple of information here before I share with you exactly how much money I made. The other thing that you want to keep in mind is that once you start making money on YouTube, you will track that revenue using Google AdSense. And Google AdSense is also how Google is going to start paying you or depositing money to your bank account. There is a verification process that you have to go through. I'm not going to talk about it right now, but if it's something that you are curious about, let me know in the comments and I can walk you through the whole thing. But the one thing to keep in mind is that they will only issue your first payment when you reach a threshold of 100 dollars. So let's say you get monetized towards the end of February. And then you had made $30, $50, something like that. They're not going to issue a paycheck until you reach 100 dollars. So just keep that in mind. Okay, so let's go over to my analytics. I am going to change my filter to show lifetime. I just want to go through the revenue analytics page here just to help you understand a couple of things before we dive deeper into how much money I made. All right, so I have my revenue or my estimated revenue set to lifetime. So if you can see right here, like I said, August 11, 2019, I was making no money because I was not monetized and it's been the case for a long time. So you can see right here up until February of 2021, I was making no money from YouTube. So way over a year, it's probably a year and a half or so. I was not making any money in the beginning. And then like we said, I got monetized around February 24. Yeah. So February 24 was the first day I got monetized on YouTube after they went through the verification process and so on. And then on February 24, I made $2.61, which honestly, when I saw that I thought that it was a good number to start with. I was expecting really a lower number, less than a dollar, just a couple of cents. So $2.61 on February 24 was not bad. And then the day after February 25 was $4.31, February 26, $4.86. And then you can see how this number keeps changing throughout the time up until right now. There are definitely so many factors that go into how much money you are making each and every day. A lot of people think that having a lot of subscribers and a lot of views is how you make money on YouTube. It's not always true, although having subscribers and a good amount of views is very important and very helpful. But there's so many factors that go into that. If you can see this number right here, it says playback based CPM. CPM stands for cost per meal. And it basically tells you how much advertisers paid per thousand monetized playbacks. And this CPM number is really an important factor in how much money you are making. So a lot of people choose their niche on YouTube based on the fact that the CPM for that particular topic or that particular niche is high. So the higher your CPM number is, the more money you make. So you can see right here on my CPM overall is $13.61, which is not bad. I'm happy with this number. So just to kind of tell you that this CPM number dictates how much money you are making, whether you have a lot of followers or a lot of subscribers, or you don't. Also, if you scroll down right here, there are a lot of useful information in the revenue tab really, especially if as a small content creator on YouTube, you want to set strategies, this is going to be helpful to make some informed decisions. There is this section right here with monthly estimated revenue. So as you can see, I have the last six months, January, I was making no money. And the February is when I got monetized on YouTube. So I'm making a little bit of money there. And then March, things are starting to pick up. April, it went down a little bit. And then May, June, things are picking up nicely. It also shows you what are your top earning videos, what videos are bringing the most money. So I have here Alaska Travel in 2021, how to apply for citizenship. These are the two videos that I'm making the most money. And so obviously, as a YouTuber, if your goal is to make more money, you want to double down on this type of content that is bringing you the money and the views. So a lot of helpful information here. There's also some information about what type of ads is bringing you the most, the most views or revenue. So there are skippable video ads. These are the ads that you would see on in the beginning on the middle of some YouTube videos. And you have the option to click skip. So it seems like most of my YouTube ad revenue is coming from those. And then there are some information here about revenue sources and transaction revenue. I'm not going to go through those. So with that being said, I'm going to go actually to my bank account so that I can share with you exactly the number and how much I was paid from my first paycheck on YouTube. It says that it's coming from Google Adsense, like I was saying earlier from my first paycheck on YouTube, I made $254.50, which is a good number. I didn't expect it to be this high by small YouTuber standards. And I just want to take you back to my revenue tab to show you exactly the date. So I chose from February 20 to the end of March. And my estimated revenue is actually showing us $240.51. The reason why the number is higher on my bank account is because I have my website trekintals.com that is also linked to my Adsense. And that was a couple of dollars that I made a long time ago. So it kind of added to the $240 amount. But to be exact, the amount of money that I made from my first paycheck on YouTube is $240.51. So now am I leaving my job to pursue YouTube full-time? If you live in the US, you know that you can't really live off of $240 a month. On top of that, I have a lot of expenses and a lot of money that goes into maintaining my YouTube channel and growing my YouTube channel and learning the skills that will help me to become a better filmmaker, a better storyteller, a better YouTuber. And some of the expenses that I can think of are editing software for image editing, filmmaking, Adobe Creative Suite, access to no copyright music, access to tools like vidIQ that helps with keyword research and stuff like that. And it can easily add up to $200 very easily. And on top of that, everything that goes into mortgage, monthly expenses of living, no, I am not leaving my job to pursue YouTube full-time, at least not right now. Now, I also want to mention that this is just YouTube ads revenue. I also have some revenue coming from Amazon affiliate marketing. As you guys know, I always share the gear that we are using when we go out hiking and backpacking or car camping and even filming gear when we are on the trail and I am here at home and I have all of that listed out on kit.co slash cracking pals. If there is any piece of gear that you are interested in, you can go in there and you can find it. And if you use any of those links, we will make a commission from Amazon. And that is another source of income for our YouTube channel. I hope that you guys found this to be useful or helpful. And I hope that it answered some of the questions that you might have as a new content creator or just as someone who is curious how much do YouTubers make on YouTube. If you guys liked this episode, give this video a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel. My name is Habiba. This is Tracking Pals and I will see you very soon on a new adventure.


as if it wasn't bad enough that they constantly cry wolf and fear monger about coming pandemics to the point that nobody knows what to take seriously anymore. Now they're actually trying to score political points on Trump during the rise of what could turn into a global pandemic. Instead of bringing people together, they're continuing to spew hatred and propaganda in the hopes that it will help their chances in 2020. Over at CNN, Don Lemon and his glasses have returned to manufacture a scandal over Vice President Mike Pence who Trump just announced would head the response to the virus. Don Lemon seems to have a real issue with Mike Pence's religion and the fact that he prays over an issue before deciding on a response, which as far as I know, presidents have been doing from the beginning. In any other case, making an issue over someone's religion like this would be called bigoted and would be shouted down. But as we all know, those standards don't apply equally to all citizens. If he had not waited to pray on it before doing these exchanges, is that the person you want in charge of whether the coronavirus outbreaks someone who needs to pray on something instead of looking at the science? I mean, come on, let's be real about it. Let's just be honest about that. That's the person you want to put in charge of this. Oh, he took off his glasses, which means he's serious about science.  The guy that Don Lemon supports ended our manned space program, so spare me on the science lectures. I want to remind you all that yesterday the CDC warned Americans to prepare for severe disruptions to everyday life because of the coronavirus. When emergencies strike, you always see news stories of long lines of people and empty store shelves.

If you didn't know, Lemon is talking about Pence's time as Governor of Indiana where his political opponents blamed him for an increase of HIV and intravenous drug users. Of course, Pence is not to blame for the bad decisions made by people who inject drugs into their bodies. Pence's political opposition in the media and in the Democrat Party blame him because he prayed over the decision over whether or not to institute needle exchange programs. These are government programs where drug users can turn in their used needles and get new ones. First of all, is it really that strange to pray over a decision over whether or not to enable intravenous drug users? Especially when there's no clear science over the effectiveness of this practice. I mean, heroin users aren't exactly known for their good decision making. If you're high and you're shooting up drugs, are you really going to take the time to make a trip and get new needles? My point is blaming Pence, his religion or his prayers for this outbreak is absurd. Suggesting that Pence won't bring in experts, won't look at the data and will instead just pray is not only completely baseless, it's also incredibly bigoted by their own standards. He didn't say I want to look at the studies. He did not say, Scott, he didn't say I want to look at the studies. He said he wanted to pray on it. I mean, are you saying that are elected officials shouldn't say that they're going to pray? I mean, it's pretty much a staple of our political leadership in this country dating back to the founding. Okay, what evidence does Don Lemon have that Mike Pence isn't looking at the science? It's kind of hard to avoid science when you're dealing with a virus outbreak. Is it just because he said that he wants to pray on it? Because that's not at all unusual. He's a religious Christian. Of course, he prays all past Christian presidents have done the exact same thing. For that matter, it's been a whole hell of a lot crazier with some past presidents. Don't get me wrong, as many of you know, I'm not a religious person and I wouldn't want somebody heading this up who was relying purely on prayer and religion to guide him, but I've seen zero evidence that's happening. And who is Don Lemon talking about when he says all these people are dying? There hasn't been a single death in the United States that I'm aware of. Is Lemon trying to blame Trump for deaths that occur in other countries? Unfortunately, Lemon isn't alone in trying to use this crisis for political gain. New York Times columnist Gail Collins, who is a regular pundit on all the establishment media, wrote an article with this headline, quote, let's call it Trump virus. If you're feeling awful, you know who to blame. What? Say what?  Why am I not surprised at all to hear Democrat party media echoing communist state propaganda in China? That's all I have for you today. Thanks for watching. Please like, share, and subscribe.
