The DuPont Cavalcade of America, starring Basil Rathbone. Good evening. This is Basil Rathbone. Starting this Friday, spectators from all parts of the United States will again be gathering in a beautiful hillside amphitheater near Williamsburg, Virginia to see the festival drama The Common Glory by Paul Green. Because this colorful spectacle is becoming an annual event, the DuPont Company is proud to bring you tonight a cavalcade play based on The Common Glory. Now, before we begin, here is Bill Hamilton of The DuPont Company. Good evening. Many of you have no doubt seen the paint on shutters or trim of a house fade in a few months or badly discolor from mildew. But that does not need to happen. Dulux Trim and Trellis Enamel was developed by DuPont Chemical Research to resist fading and mildew. Because it holds its color for years, DuPont Dulux Trim and Trellis Enamel adds a touch of enduring beauty to your home as another of the DuPont Company's better things for better living through chemistry. The Common Glory, written by Paul Green, adapted for radio by Eric Barno and starring Basil Rathbone as Thomas Jefferson on the DuPont cavalcade of America. There's a wind on this hillside, a soft wind blowing through the Virginia evening. Around us, the tall dark trees stand brooding and the wind stirs softly through them. Would it be a wonder if we heard in that wind voices? Voices of the many men who have walked before us across these Virginia hillsides. John Smith of Jamestown, our first colony that survived. It was just over that hill there. And the men who fought at Yorktown in a battle that made us independent. It was over Yonder and Thomas Jefferson, architect of our liberties, whose figure moves so often across this landscape. I am here too, here in this corner of Virginia, birthplace of our freedom. Here at Williamsburg, I studied as a young man reading philosophy, and I played my violin and danced the coutillion at the Royal Governor's Palace and lived the life of the young. But then came the gathering storm, the crisis with England. I was embarked now on law and politics. I was a married man with a home at Monticello, there to the west. But I had to leave all that and go north to the Continental Congress, to Philadelphia. I remember how I sat there in a rented room in a brick player's house, drafting a document in the broiling summer weather. I remember. Fred Taylor, come in, come in. Thanks, Mr. Jefferson. I came for the letters. Fine, good. Our supplies are loaded and I start back for Virginia at dawn. Good. Here are the letters. Cherish them with your life. Yes, Mr. Jefferson. And Fred, as soon as you get back to Williamsburg, see that this one is headed off to my wife at Monticello. I will, sir. The last I heard from her was weeks ago. I'm afraid for her health. She's not well. Forgive me, sir, but you need to rest yourself for days you've been doing nothing but writing, writing, writing. Oh, how can I rest? This document is due in Congress on Monday and I can't get it right. What you read to me last night sounded wonderful. This part about property still troubles me. Life, liberty and property. Dr. Franklin and the others will be here to discuss it any minute. It's not right yet. Well, property is important. I know because I never had it. Well, that's just the point. My father died a hireling on a plantation. His life an empty pursuit of happiness he never found. Pursuit of happiness? That's an appraise, Fred. And that's how I die, too, if I stayed in my job. And that's why I'm going to leave it as soon as I return to Virginia and give everything I can to this cause. Good work, Fred. You see, sir, I feel something new is stirring, in which all men will have a chance and not be strangled by ideas of class that don't belong here. Fred, it's men like you I have in mind as I write this declaration.  Not yet, sir. How is he, by the way? How does he stand on this issue with the king? I don't know, sir. You know how it is. He's interested in, well, the fox hunt, things like that. He says very little about these other things. I think he considers you a hothead. I know. And his daughter, the beautiful Eileen? Well, what about her, sir? Married yet? No, sir. She's very lovely, Fred. She is, sir, and hearty. Oh, I see. Well, goodbye, Mr. Jefferson. Goodbye, Fred, and good luck. Thank you, sir. Farewell, sir. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Oh, you're back from Philadelphia. Yes, I bought all the supplies your father wanted. I've just settled the accounts with him and said goodbye. Goodbye. And now I'm saying goodbye to you. I came out in the garden to look for you. What are you talking about? You're not leaving again. I'm really leaving this time. But that's impossible. Is it? Why, why, we need you here. You, you've always been here. What's father going to do without an overseer? What about the harvest? I'm marching north with a militia. Oh, that's mad, Fred. Yes, that's what your father said. You've been listening to cousin Jefferson in Philadelphia. I did see him there.  There's not going to be any war. Why, this rebellion will blow over by autumn. For the convenience of your social season? Why do you talk like that, Fred? Well, perhaps there's some bitterness in me. As I came out of the garden here looking for you, I couldn't help remembering how we grew up together and ran together in those fields, always together. And then we grew apart and there was a wall between us. Fred, is that my fault? I remember how you went to England to be received at court.  No. But I'm joining the militia. I see. Goodbye, Irene. Fred. Someday I'll be back. I feel that someday you will need me and I'll be there. Come here, Irene. Fred, don't. Come here. Fred. For years I've been wanting to do that. I love you, Irene. Don't. Don't say that. Goodbye, Irene. Goodbye. After the time of goodbyes came the years of struggle. And during those war years, I was to see Fred Taylor many times of the long campaigns, the endless withdrawals and the work that was never finished. I was called back to Virginia for tasks that had to be done there in the state government. There's a time of long separation from loved ones and of quick, desperate reunions. Mr. Jeff. Matthew. Thank heaven you was home, sir. I came as soon as I heard it. How's my wife? Better this evening, sir. She's sitting in there by the fire. Help me with my coat, will you, Matthew? Yes, sir. Will you be staying here at Mandichello now, Mr. Jeff? Oh, through Christmas anyway, and after that, as long as I can. I'm glad, sir. Tom. Patty. Oh, Patty, darling. Tom. Tom. Patty, my dearest, how are you? Better, I think. Now I know I feel better. I hope my letter didn't frighten you. It well if it did. It brought me quickly to you. Oh, I haven't seen you for so long. Let me look at you. Sit here with me by the fire. Oh, oh, Patty, to be home at last with you at Mandichello. You know, so many times I've sworn that after the next job I'd come home, but always there was something else that had to be done first. Oh, darling, they haven't let you alone, have they? There's so much to do, Patty. A new constitution for Virginia, bills for education, religious freedom, equal justice. It's now we must frame these laws. Delay would be fatal. But must you do all this work, Tom? Can't they ever let you rest? Oh, Patty. Oh, even now I can see your hand moving nervously as though busy with a pen. You're tired, aren't you? Yes. Yes. But now I'm going to stay here as long as I can. How long will that be? Mr. Jefferson. Yes, Matthew? There's a gentleman to see it, sir. Oh, does anyone know I'm here? Well, I think he's from Williamsburg, sir. Name is Mr. Burton. Burton? Burton from the House of Delegates? Oh, Tom, whatever they want of you now, don't do it. You must stay here now at home. Show him in, Matthew. Yes. Oh, Tom. Don't worry, Patty. Don't worry. Nothing on earth can drag me away from here now. Just tell them it's a military command from your wife. Come in, sir. Thank you. Oh, good evening, Mr. Burton. Mr. Jefferson. Welcome to Monticello. This is my wife. Welcome, Mr. Burton. How do you do, ma'am? I've been riding all day, Mr. Jefferson. I was appointed a committee to wait on you, but missed you in Williamsburg. Oh? I thought to catch up with you, but you came too speedily. I had reason. But what brings you all this way? As you know, sir, Patrick Henry's term as governor is ending. Yes, yes, yes. Poor man, his health has broken under the strain. We want you, sir, as our next governor. Oh. Oh, no, no. We've gone into it thoroughly, sir. The majority wants you. We wish to settle the matter before the Christmas recess. Yes, but it's impossible. You need a military man just now. We do not agree, sir. Then, well, I mean, someone who understands finance, the state is bankrupt. Our money worthless. You need someone who's. I'm sorry, Mr. Jefferson. Our cause is splitting with quarrels and feuds on all sides. Only you can bind us together. How do you know I can? If anyone can. You can, sir. No, no, no, no. I can be more help here, raising crops, sending supplies to Washington's troops. I'm sorry, sir, it must be you. Then the answer is no, I can't do it. Is that your last word, sir? Yes, sir. Yes. Mr. Burton. Yes, ma'am. My husband will do it. He will, ma'am. Yes. He's never broken faith. I'm sure he hesitates because of me. Tom, will you do it? Patty, all these months, I've worked to get intolerable burdens off my shoulders and. Listen. Listen, the field hands singing. They've come to sing carols for you, Tom. They've been preparing for it for so long. Addesty Fidelis. Come all ye faithful. Slaves singing in Latin? Never heard of that before. Tom taught them, Mr. Baden. And now they're showing me the way. Mr. Burton, I'll do it. You are listening to Basil Rathbone as Thomas Jefferson in the Common Glory, Paul Green's festival drama of our nation's early struggle to be free, brought to you by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. And again the years went by. The fighting and the work that were never finished. To Jefferson as governor of Virginia came constant messages from General Washington. Both North and South, the Continental armies pleaded for men's supplies and arms. Congress seemed unable to supply them. So Virginia sent what it could. Then as Savannah fell and Charleston was threatened, fear came to Virginia. And one day in Williamsburg, a committee called on the governor. Governor Jefferson. Yes, Mr. Burton. These gentlemen and I have been appointed by the House of Delegates as a committee to bring you a message. You are welcome, gentlemen. Thank you. What word do you bring? We, uh, trust we find you well, sir. Oh, well enough.  No, not well. Worse since we came to Williamsburg. I am sorry, sir. Your message? The militia, sir, whom you're assembling here in Williamsburg, where are they for? By General Washington in the north. So, Mr. Jefferson, we are sent to demand that the militia be kept here in Virginia. No, they shall not. So long as there is one musket and one man in Virginia when Washington asks for help, I shall send them. And the same for our forces in the south. And we tell you, sir, that you have so weakened our own state that she lies helpless for any invader. There are some in our midst who are forming themselves into bands to aid the invader. Can we even protect ourselves against them? I have prepared steps against these traitors in our midst. Another proclamation. Mr. Jefferson, Virginia is already left like an empty bag. Empty, I tell you. Of course. I have heard you can catch things in an empty bag. The invader comes into our commonwealth, perhaps the two armies we have struggled to keep alive can turn upon him, one from the north and one from the south. And if the French fleet could arrive on the eastern coast at the same time, then... Mr. Jefferson, this is the first time I have heard that the way to conquer an enemy is first to let him conquer you. Where is this French fleet? Has anyone seen it? Gentlemen, the order stands. Then, sir, we are instructed to demand your resignation or you will be impeached. Impeached? Mr. Burton, when you asked me to take this office, you spoke of our need for unity. Is this your unity? The order stands. Good day, gentlemen. Congratulations. Tom. Patty, in Mrs. Neym, you are to bed? I heard what they said to you.  Oh, no. Come here, my dear. You paste the floor at night. You never get enough sleep. But you won't resign, will you? You won't let them beat you down. No. With you to stand by me, I'll keep on somehow, in spite of disunity, and treason. Treason? That too, Patty. For some time it's been clear that evil forces are at work here in Virginia, spreading rumors of defeats, scuttling boats, looting supplies. One man is directing all this. Who? My own cousin, Robert Gordon. Oh, no. Yes, I have proof. Intercepted messages. At this very moment, Captain Fred Taylor is on his way to arrest Mr. Gordon. This I must do to my own kin. That's how we're torn apart, my dearest. With treason and strife. Are you ready, man? I'm ready. We'll break in and seize him. I hurt no one else. Search the house for further documents. Aye, we understand. All right. Now, what's the meaning of this outrage? You're under arrest, Mr. Gordon. Fred Taylor. By authority of the governor of Virginia, seasoned men.  Hold it still. You'll be punished for this, Fred Taylor. Silence, before you search the house. Yes, Captain? The rest of you take the prisoner to jail. Father? Father? Yes, daughter. You see what has become of me? A midnight raid by a band of ruffians, led by this. Oh, Dan, what does this mean? I'm sorry, Eileen. Your father has been aiding the enemy.  Father? You'll hang for this young man. The day is coming when you and Jefferson, no arrest, will pay with your necks for this rebellion. Take him, men. The court is lost. You must already. You must. I had to do this, Eileen.  He's my father. I came along to make sure he wouldn't be hurt. And that you wouldn't be hurt either. So this is it. How you would come to me to help me. Go away.   And that's how we were torn apart. Friendships broken, loves divided, family sundered, kin against kin. Through it all, fear and uncertainty. With my aid, Fred Taylor, I often rode out to inspect the garrisons. This is the place, Mr. Jefferson, here by the old Jamestown churchyard. Yes, but where's the garrison? Well, I don't know. Hello? Wasn't the garrison ordered to stand guard at this very spot? Night and day, yes, sir. Hello? There's no one here. What time is it? Almost midnight. They have left all right. More desertions. Now, of course, he is melting away, as cousin Robert said they would. What in heaven's name shall we do? Shall we go on, inspect more garrisons? No, no, not tonight, sir. You're worn out. You need rest. Yes, get worn out, finished. The end of endurance. All right, let's sleep then. Here, by this graveyard, so dark and quiet. Rest here, sir, underneath this tree. I will. You sleep first, and I'll stand guard. Thank you, Fred. Oh, so tired. I'll take care of the horses. So tired. You have a good rest, sir. Jefferson. Come. Who are you? Death. I live here. Oh, gentle death. I am the end you have been seeking. This is the victory for the tired struggle ahead. The weary wayfarer. Death. The battle over. Peace. Peace. Come, Tom. Come. Come. Yes. Yes, death. Do not harken to death, Tom Jefferson. Who are you? Captain John Smith, in the Jamestown Colony here in this very place, I fought for freedom from tyranny. And I am Booker Haunted. I saved this colony. And there are Nathaniel Bacon and others. All of us fought this fight, Tom Jefferson. Thousands of us lying in the ground, some famous. Wake up. What is it? What is it, Fred? I don't know, sir. It sounds like cannon from the south. Cannon? Are you sure? There it goes again. Here comes someone through the field. Who's there? Captain Fred Taylor, who are you? I just heard news, Captain Taylor. There's a rumor enemy forces have landed in Portsmouth and are headed this way. May not be true. But we must try to find out. We thought you'd left your post, soldier. We did, sir. The men decided to quit. But when I heard the news, I started back here. Some of the others are coming, too. Good for you. I'm glad to hear it. Have we got a chance, sirs? Have we? I wish I knew. If we all hold firm, perhaps Sun, round up this garrison, hold the men together. Yes, sir. Come on, Fred. We must go on. We must verify the news and get word to General Washington. At last, after months of rumors, invasion came to Virginia. We were helpless. Richmond fell. And finally, Williamsburg was captured. And now, at that low Eberbar fortunes, there seemed a chance, just a chance, that our flimsy hope might come true. Washington swore the chance and took it. Under cover of darkness, he moved his small army across the Hudson and marched south. The French fleet came from the West Indies to blockade from the sea. Lafayette and Anthony Wayne cut off retreat to the south. The invader was surrounded in Virginia. And now the Virginia militia, including Captain Fred Taylor, closed in and stormed Yorktown. And afterwards, over that hill there in an old barn, they set up a hospital for the wounded. There. You'll be all right. Who are you? Just someone binding your wound. Go back to sleep, Captain. Eileen. It's Eileen. It isn't. It isn't just a dream. No. But it's like a dream. I've dreamt it, too.  No, Fred, I know now you were right. But lie back and rest and let your wound heal. Have you heard what happened to your father? Yes, he died in prison.  No, no, I don't hate him. I did once, but I don't now. Oh, I'm glad, Fred. But lie still now. I won't leave you. I won't leave you. How's your patient, cousin Eileen? Oh, much better, cousin Tom. He just woke up. Mr. Jefferson. Yes, Fred. Rest easy, Fred. Rest easy. We've won the battle. We can't fail now. Has peace come? It will before long, but the struggle, the struggle, Fred, for what we believe, the common glory, that has to go on without rest. We must keep faith through the years ahead and the generations ahead. All that we have to hope for, all that we have hope for, may live on. Here's Bill Hamilton of the DuPont Company. Are you old enough to remember ironing days when the irons had to be heated on the kitchen stove? On Tuesday morning, usually, out came the irons, at least two of them, or even half a dozen. First they had to be cleaned. Then they were heated on the stove and laboriously lifted on and off dozens of times. And all the while the ironing went on, they had to be rubbed with a piece of paraffin tied in a scorched rag. Today, your electric iron is silvery bright when you buy it and stays bright because it is plated. Many a June bride this month received beautiful, durable silverware. Plated silver is now priced within everyone's reach because of electroplating. Even tin cans are not really tin. They're made of steel coated with tin by a modern high-speed plating process. Electroplating is a process which protects and beautifies metals that might otherwise rust or corrode by covering them over with more resistant metals. The plate may be tin, zinc, or cadmium, or it may be nickel or chromium with an undercoat of copper. For instance, as many as 60 or 70 parts of a modern automobile are plated. The 1948 Industrial Finishing Exposition and Convention of the American Electroplater Society opened today at Atlantic City, New Jersey. An educational society for the advancement of the science of electroplating, it's more than 5,000 members work constantly to improve the things you buy with better metal finishes. Working with them are the research teams of our DuPont laboratories, seeking new ways to improve the processes and chemicals upon which plating depends. Electroplating chemicals and metals, developments of chemical science, are among the many DuPont better things for better living through chemistry. Next week, Cavalcade presents the popular young Hollywood actress Rosemary DeCamp in the Exiled Heart. It's a tender and romantic love story of Louisa May Alcott, who wrote the beautiful American classic Little Women. Be sure to join us next Monday night then for the Exiled Heart starring Rosemary DeCamp on the DuPont Cavalcade of America. The music for the DuPont Cavalcade is composed by Arden Cornwell and conducted by Donald Brian. Basil Rathbone can currently be seen in the Broadway stage success, The Eris. In tonight's Cavalcade, John Rabie played the part of Fred. This is Ted Pearson inviting you to listen again next week to the Exiled Heart starring Rosemary DeCamp. Cavalcade of America is presented each week from the stage of the Longacre Theater on Broadway in New York and is brought to you by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


Dr. O'Parris, can you explain what this program is all about? This learning program seeks to take advantage of the high-tech solutions that are available nowadays to bring some ease to the acquisition of some scales that don't easily give themselves up to acquisition. And by that I mean the automated blood cell counter. It's a very technically advanced instrument that uses statistics to make a point in form or in trend. Ordinarily you'd expect the human eye to look under the microscope and examine about 200 cells. At the automated counter would examine thousands of cells. But then translate that information in statistical data that are very, very, very useful to unraveling pathology. Is there a reason why this is particularly useful for students in Ghana to learn? Yes. Nowadays almost all the regional hospitals have automated blood cell counters. That's how available they are in the world at large. And yet the understanding of their results lag behind their availability. So I intend to use this to break the gap or close the gap between understanding and using the results of the automated blood count. And it's accessibility. It's very accessible now. And when used properly it would help in the resolution of clinical abnormality in a wide spectrum. And we need to close that gap so that we can justify the early efforts and the money put into making such instruments available to us. As students go through the course materials do you have any advice about how they should use these materials? As you click through I would hope that you would first of all get the look at the video in which I describe the clinical situation. And then seek to link that clinical situation to the findings on the automated blood count report which you click on. And that's not the end.  That way you will be able to match all the abnormalities in the clinical case presentation, the automated counting report and then the smear. And once you put that together you have a three-dimensional picture of what's going on.


Hey friends, you're watching behind the scenes divine intimacy radio We have special guests coming up from the patrolman's paternity of st. Michael Excited to talk about that when I first heard about these guys.

Is that you guys know if that's still is that organization still around? Oh Can't hear Matt hold on Matt. There's something is up with the audio here What this will all be edited out of the final show That goes to terrestrial radio Any clue why he's not coming in Any sense Jordan Can you check could see if you're muted on your side Matt on your own settings Getting good now.

Welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio haven of rest Your hermitage of the heart your monastery of the mind where we lift our hearts and minds to heaven to draw on the wisdom of saints To navigate this tumult of life. I'm excited today to have To talk to the patrolmen's fraternity of st. Michael Jordan. Why don't you introduce our guests? Logan is a police officer former division one athlete a new husband and a father with a young daughter and son on the way Or with the young daughter and a son on the way had a reversion to his faith in 2017 and his co-founder Patrolmen's fraternity of st.

Michael Matt is married father of two boys that attended traditional Catholic school fully and he is fully committed to bringing the beauty of the Catholic faith to a society that is starving for truth meaning and beauty in their lives Yeah, so why have Joe why is Jordan on today instead of Stephanie? It's because he knows something about this topic Jordan was a police officer in Birmingham, Alabama For how many years? I think it was a little over six over six years pretty challenging assignment Yeah, in every way in every way So so we have compassion for police officers, especially those in probably the the most hostile environment for the for the police in the history of the United States You know, I don't know of a time when it was more difficult to be a cop I don't know what you think about it. Yeah, it was weird when I was when I went in it was prior to the Ferguson riots and so there was a market shift and how we handled things prior to that event and then after that event and then the reoccurring things that happened or the subsequent things that happened afterwards and watching The entirety of the law enforcement profession shift in particular directions Was kind of wild to to see and be a part of at that time. I'm sure Matt. I mean he was he was a cop at that time I don't know Logan, but Probably could say something similar Yeah, and so knowing all those difficulties. I was excited to hear about the patrolman's fraternity. So Logan or Matt, why don't you tell us? What's the fraternity about? How did it how did it come how did it come to fruition? sure So just as you guys have been saying The law enforcement profession is comes with plenty of challenges and trials and crosses I was fortunate enough to revert back to the faith prior to my the beginning of my career So when I first entered law enforcement, I you know as a lot of young guys do I think you have a little bit of rose colored glasses going in certain expectations of what it is What you think it's gonna be and then the reality kind of hits you and at that point though I still did have I had you know the faith I wanted to do this because I believed it was my vocations the work that God wants me to do So I wanted to do it in a certain way and when I got you know into the field and and you know through the academy and everything Like that I quickly realized that even though a lot of my compatriots are baptized Catholics They were not able to really assist me in doing the job as a Catholic Not just being a good cop which is obviously important but doing it in a way that is also Virtuous and pleasing to our Lord and I think if you look at just a brief sketch of the modern cop as he is and what he faces It's uh men who are maybe naturally virtuous, but who are faced with these Uh very difficult very heavy crosses and challenges that they're not spiritually equipped to handle So they Fall into some particular vices that I think we can we can pretty easily identify and and getting to certain things that Are not what our lord wants from them to put it just to put it plainly So having this in mind. I was very fortunate to go on a retreat Uh given by the illustrious father john pericone Um and that's where I met matt and when uh father introduced me to him very quickly He knew that I was uh, you know a young police officer just starting out He knew that matt had plenty of experience. So it was a natural connection and we both shared Similar observations similar ideas and and recognized the need for an apostolate directed particularly towards Cops in assisting them handle these trials these crosses these challenges Matt uh you're so how long have you been a cop logan? A couple years now I graduated the academy in uh 2019 and matt how long were you in I did exactly 22 years and six months and uh in three days. I believe it was Yes, no, but not count nobody's counting. No not counting at all. Yeah, right So what what was it about this idea that you know got you excited? Obviously have been in the force as long as you were you've seen every kind of permutation of evil and difficulty that a police officer could face Yes, yes, I saw an awful lot things my mother would never want to know that I saw But unlike logan the first the first uh 10 years of my my police career I was for for all intents and purposes a fall in a way Catholic, you know, I'd go with the family for christ I'm sorry for uh christmas in in easter and things like that but um It was very nominal and then around the midpoint of my police career. I had a very profound profound reversion back to the faith Uh, I could talk a lot on that for a long time But uh, I believe a mutual friend of ours had a big part in that along with my wife's Conversion to Catholicism Luthanism. That's father Matthew McDonald. Oh, yeah, a very very good friend of the family Yeah, it's a good piece part of our community. Yeah. Yes. Yes and um, so Going on this journey just seeing uh And I'm sure you know, Jordan can speak to this as well just remarkable amounts of dysfunction and evil Uh, both within what you see in society and within the police profession. There's remarkable dysfunction uh So again coming into a point where I had a very, you know profound reversion uh working in the law enforcement community and seeing that there was really virtually um Really nothing there to help officers to to be virtuous To stay on that narrow path that our lord has commanded us to to stay on and um, so I got involved with trying to To do something within the nypd because there really was nothing going on at the time and uh And you know starring the patrolman's attorney of st. Michael went on for a number of years and and we were able to to um To do some things I'm not going to get too deep into what we were able to do because I think that with um You know meet and logan here It's really kind of a renewal of what the original purpose was to do Because things have deteriorated considerably I fully agree with what uh, Jordan you stated previously around the furgusson time I I usually think around 2013 2014 That's when things really changed dramatically Uh, and it's been a downhill slope ever since and we have a lot of very good officers within the profession who have The right intentions they have natural virtue but it is a It's a profession wrought with with dangers temptations that are legion And there has to be something there That can that can act as a buffer against falling into these temptations which I am uh ashamed to say that um, you know once upon a time I fall fell into many of them myself And um, there has to be something and logan and I feel very strongly about that because We love these guys They are our brothers We want to see the best for them. Uh, we know that They have in many respects been shown a false uh version And for all intents purposes of what catholicism really is they don't understand. There's something more out there They just don't know it and we would very much like it to be part of our vocation And uh, and it's a possible going forward to to bring that to our brother in the law enforcement community Uh, to help them stay on that narrow path that we spoke that we speak of quite frequently Yeah, we mentor a lot of young men and I've had quite a few of them who find out that I was a cop and they come up And they're like, yeah, I think I want to be a cop and what was your experience And I have to be really careful because I don't want to I don't know what god is calling these guys to right Yeah, so I don't want to dissuade them, but I also but I want to say I can't have rose colored glasses. You got to know what you're getting into Yeah, um, so in turn in those terms, how do you help these guys kind of avoid a lot of the stuff that I fell into as well? Um, how do how do you help them kind of survive and thrive in the faith with what you guys do?  We're currently as a unit um We've kind of set up a different hierarchy of of participation in the patrolman's fraternity recognizing that some guys are at different spots and others so for myself matt and a couple other a core group of guys We labeled as knights. We take on a pretty hefty Lenten discipline for 40 days prayer fasting mortification These types of things and then the same thing for the other guys auxiliaries just to a lesser degree Those you know tried and true foundational parts of living a virtuous masculine catholic life and as matt said just just The simple fact of introducing them to the traditional faith, you know, what the Examples of some of the saints who were warriors, you know, not that That that being a police officer is is like being a soldier is a legitimate vocation within the church It's not, you know, like a necessary evil or something that a lot of modern liberalism wants to portray cops as as the bad guys, you know It's not the way our lord sees it. It's never been that way So just the mere introducing them to the traditional faith the traditional form of the sacraments this basic, you know, sort of a rule of life essentially um That's really it it's it's bringing them to our lord through those means and his grace takes care of the rest Fantastic. So just I want to put up on the screen the url For the patrolman's fraternity of st. Michael for those who are watching in the live stream Uh, the it's a little bit long.  It's it's patrolman's fraternity wix site.com.  It's a working title currently working title But um, we really do want you to reach out to cops that you know When we get back from the break, um You know, I think I think it's a good idea to just talk a little bit about The difficulties that you guys face jordan that you faced So that the regular audience can understand because we got we got some diversity out there And I think the way the media is playing portraying policing right now Is uh is pretty egregious And it's as if every cop is bad And policing is bad and you know, but we have in scripture itself In the new testament an admonition for The goodness of civil Order and how we should We should actually comport ourselves in order to be at peace with civil order And so the lord recognizes the authority The legitimate authority of police in civil order and when we get back from the break We'll talk a little bit about more about this. We'll be right back All right friends, uh, I think we're going to just keep running on the show So we'll the next segment will be 12 and a half minutes If you want to watch the clock, you're welcome or I can just cut you off if we're Running if we're coming up to the end of the show And uh near the end we'll just pop the url again And let folks know where to find you All right on your mark get set go welcome back to divine intimacy radio This is dan and jordan berk On a special edition of divine intimacy radio talking about how to help police officers Through the patrolman's fraternity of st. Michael Uh deep in their faith. Uh, it was super excited to hear about this apostolate By the way, grateful to ewtn for air in this show and allowing us to be Uh on all of their radio station system an amazing beautiful Organization helping people to come to their faith all over the united states And in fact, I think mother angelica may be single. Well, probably with fulton sheen Those two probably preserved catholicism in the united states more than any other individuals in our time through uh through uh catholic radio Which is now blossomed into so many other media media outlets and people who are Seeking to form others just like the patrolman's facade for society fraternity In a very special way of st. Michael So talk a little bit about I don't know jordan if you want to talk tell the average person What it's like what what are the What are the difficulties that the average police officer faces? I know it's hard to summarize Well, and you don't want to say certain things that would not be proper for radio, right? I don't know. I was trying to think of a way to say that didn't sound overly dramatic But I was reminded of uh, I can't remember who said it But it's it's kind of like if you stare into the abyss long enough the abyss tears back into you I don't remember who said that but being a police officer you're constantly Every call you go on is somebody's worst day, right? That's why they're calling you If it was a good day, they wouldn't need you and so everything you're dealing with is constantly just negativity And the darkness of the world and the darkness of the enemy And if you don't have proper things in place like for instance in my story I didn't have I didn't have proper things in place I was Catholic before I went in But because I wasn't taking my faith seriously And because I was surrounded by so much darkness I myself became very dark and ended up losing my faith for a period of time So it's important to have these things. I mean, they're they're desperately necessary because if you don't have good guys in there Doing what was necessary and and and pursuing lord and pursuing true virtue and true charity and true justice Then, you know, it's going to be overrun by folks who who don't have the ability to do that And then it's just going to you know, if the media is if what the media I'll say this way What the media is saying now isn't true it will be true if we don't have good guys in there You know, we're not supporting guys in in the profession, right, right? What do you guys think? Well, I would say with regards to that, you know, I think that I used to say as far as the nypd It's a great microcosm of society It's at the time it's still around 35 000. They're having a very difficult time maintaining that number, but When you see what makes up the organization who's coming coming in it really speaks to where the society is And so with with that in mind There there are some issues there are more certainly issues I I could say when I first came on the job there were guys that That we still had a few vietnam veterans that were that were working there Most of guys came on in the late 70s and early 80s And in the time that has gone on since then to the time I I just retired you you see a lot of the change in society One thing I can say that I did see is that Regarding our postulate and speaking to cops about What where we come in living the catholic faith living a virtuous life The older generation were much more Receptive to it They they were much more receptive to it. They had more of a You know more of a formation in a culture where these were these values I'm sorry. I shouldn't say I should say virtues Were much more apparent in and when they when they were formed and when they grew up and when they were in the job the You know the the catholic faith used to be very very much Intertwined with policing at one point in time The nypd is a great example You know the holy name society used to be a very very big organization very robust You'd have thousands of cops that would be there at the annual community breakfast uh, that is completely Gone at this point to put it bluntly. It's not the organization still exists But you just don't have that adherence. You don't have that receptivity through these So what are you guys doing differently? Maybe I don't you're not to criticize them, but What are you finding resistance? You know to to your Organization in police departments or are you are you are they welcoming to you? What's going on with the with the progress of helping guys to to to hold on to their faith and deepen their faith There's certainly resistance to To you know many times even having a conversation about things regarding the faith Even with an average cop There is in sometimes almost instinctual resistance to it Which at times I've had conversations with with guys who have been raised catholic and and it's a very interesting Very interesting uh dynamic at times between myself and speaking to them where they they are There's this this vitriol that will come out of times about a faith that has been in the family for generations, which I I find very troubling Some are some are certainly receptive to it Though it's it's not an easy. It's not an easy Thing to do, you know, we have certainly have had men come aboard and have success in getting members, but because of the lack of Formation the last number of decades in our church and in society I don't think you have the numbers that are that once would have been receptive to it if anything, there's there's great suspicion to Um, unfortunately of faith. They don't really know too much about Yeah, they would they reject something. They're kind of poorly catechized in and all that But tell me what's encouraging about it. I mean you guys you guys wouldn't be doing it if it was a downer to you you know logan maybe What are you seeing that inspiring you about your progress and how you're helping guys? I see that in spite of the the very real and significant challenges that we face mainly I think because of this False perception of what the faith is amongst our brethren whether baptized or not We still have a core group of guys who are willing to Put their money where their mouth is and really take on some serious Lenten disciplines and offer up those prayers and sacrifices So that this apostle will bear fruit. We know that we're in uh, you know, this is a war of attrition It's a long-term battle. We know we're not going to have instant success overnight and while we do want You know this message and this fraternity to spread to the most amount of people possible We know that uh, the main results come from God giving the increase so we would rather have guys legitimately on board willing to go to the hilt In the beginning to merit those graces for the other guys to kind of come along after the fact And so we have a telegram group set up where guys can kind of Chat with a little bit of privacy. It's amongst cops So questions regarding the job questions regarding more sensitive topics that maybe they wouldn't necessarily be comfortable Asking the fellow catholic cop next to them in their department. They could go to us that's been we've had some very fruitful discussions in there and just being able to Have guys that you could go to that are serious about their faith to ask questions to to pray with to to have a mutual Suffering and sacrifice with I think is is very inspiring because god, you know Takes the little mustard seed and can make the the great tree out of it If we you know our patient and faithful enough so You know there hasn't it's not like we've got millions of followers worldwide all of a sudden because you know We started this apostolate, but we know that that that wasn't going to be the case anyway if this is something that Over a longer period of time bears fruit then that's that's what matters and what it's not we know It's not going to be an instant hit Had a curiosity jordan if of all the tools you've learned to use in spiritual disciplines Let's say prayer the sacraments Discernment of spirits all of that if there was one thing you wish you to had as a cop Or you think could most powerfully in you know impact police officers spiritually one of the disciplines that we practice In a possibly va or in our work. What would you what would it be? That's a really good question My gut is to say discernment of spirits because that's just so Instrumental to the in the entirety of life let alone. Yeah, anything as intense as policing But I think in the context of policing Probably mortific self mortification the denial of self Because there's so many times at least in my experience.  That's that's necessary to have otherwise if you didn't have that reaction There's probably you probably have an issue, right? But the question is moving forward from there. How do you respond to that? Right? So do you internalize it or do you get wrecked by it? Yeah, or do you get wrecked by it? Do you pray about it? And I think mortification in this context this denial of self this This subjugating your lower nature to your intellect and your will would probably be extraordinarily beneficial I know it would have helped me then so then I can at least step back I I think that's necessary before you even get into discernment of spirits, honestly Yeah, where it's like I just I just the daily mental prayer is probably the most powerful thing. Yeah. Yeah So what I you know what I what I'd like to do with you guys you ever heard of the book spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits Heard of it. Yes Now that No, I swear this was um For my birthday my fond of Matthew McDonald had my sister buy That in the devil in the castle for my birthday They are two of my most favorite Books, they are my wife is reading spiritual warfare and discernment spirits right now Awesome. So I'd love to donate a case of those books to you guys to the to the patrolman's fraternity I I think that you know just getting into that Will help really guard hearts and minds of guys and we love what you're doing We we we need good holy police officers And we need them now more than ever and it's harder than ever.  That's p-a-t-r-o-l m-a-n-s f-r-a-t-e-r-n-i dot wix Site wix s-i-t-e dot com if you're driving you're listening to e-w-t-n radio now Just head out to spiritualdirection.com. We'll have the the show out there or spiritualdirection.com's youtube page We'll make sure you get the information To connect with these guys in the show notes and all of that But thank you guys for all the good work that you're doing and uh be assured of our prayers and all If you could hang with me after the show from and I'll get your address We'll send you out a case of spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits and with that our our time is up Until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness may preserve you whole and entire spirit soul and body You're approachable at the coming of our lord jesus christ amen All right, thanks guys.

On September 21st, thousands of Colombians participated in a national strike across the country against the right-wing government of President Iván Duque. Several massive demonstrations were carried out in different cities in rejection of police brutality, economic crisis, mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ceaseless assassination of social leaders. Citizens, members of various human rights organizations, left-wing political parties, social movements, and other organizations took to the streets throughout the country to express their discontent. Although the authorities assured that the police officers wouldn't carry firearms during the marches and repress the protests, the officials of the mobile anti-disservant squadron ISMAT responded to the peaceful demonstrations with violent repression. According to reports, the ISMAT officers interrupted the mobilizations in Bogotá, Medellín, Popayán, and dispersed the crowd with tear gas. In addition, a large number of protesters were detained in these cities and several others were injured. The common alternative revolutionary force, FARC Party, also denounced the police actions. One of the central demands of the protests was justice for the 46-year-old law student and taxi driver Javier Ordonez, who was tortured and murdered by two officers in Bogotá on September 9th. They also demanded justice for the 13 other people killed by the police on September 10th during the mobilizations demanding justice for Ordonez. The deepening of the economic crisis and growing unemployment, which surpassed 20% in July, was another factor that motivated the protests. Various labor unions, pensioners, and students have been vocal in rejecting the recently approved decree 1174, which imposes several regressive labor and pension reforms. The protesters also demanded the cessation of the wave of massacres hitting the country, as well as the systemic assassination of human rights leaders and social leaders in the country, as well as an end to violence against women and LGBTQI people. According to the Institute of Development and Peace Studies in De Paz, 246 people were killed in 61 massacres registered in Colombia until September 20th of this year. Since the signing of the peace agreements in November 2016 until today, over 1,000 social leaders and human rights defenders and over 200 ex-combatants and their family members have been assassinated.


Nikola Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in 1856 in what is now Croatia. He became a citizen of the United States in 1891. Among many other inventions, he worked on how to send electromagnetic energy without wires. In 1891, he painted an alternator for creating current at some 10,000 Hz. It was also among the first equipment to reliably produce long-wave radio. In 1892, Tesla demonstrated in London the transmission of radio signals. His technology was aimed at delivering electricity without wires, but in the 1897 patent he filed in the United States, Tesla stated that the invention would obviously have many other valuable uses, as for instance when it is desired to transmit intelligible messages to great distances. In 1899, Tesla built a high-voltage transformer, which he was said could generate 300,000 watts of power and produce an artificial bolt of lightning some 40 meters long. Now known as a Tesla coil, the inventor called it a magnifying transmitter. The idea was not only sent electricity, but also to construct a worldwide system for radio transmissions. The first transmitter was built in 1901 at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. Tesla hoped eventually to provide a global navigation and broadcasting service, but the project was ended because of cost. Tesla was never able to realize his vision of a freely powered and connected world.


Welcome back. It's your the breakfast and plus CV Africa in what is likely to be considered as a thought force in Ben West state The Social Democratic Party as the P has entered into an alliance with a labor party LP in Ben West state with an intent to support the later in the coming general elections the state chairman of the SDP in general John and Neh-Marie Announced at a press conference that his entire executive Strondere waits behind the labor party in Ben West state ahead of the 2023 general elections. I mean while the chairman of this parties have been including executive are the 276 electoral wards of the 23 local government eras have been directed to support the Labor Party for good governance in order to revamp the socioeconomic fortunes of the citizenry According to the chairman and I quote I consulted with all other parties the APC the PDP but did not work as one was Trailed with legal issues Others with integrity issues since we did not have a governorship candidate We have decided to give our full support and ensure the Labor Party Wins in Ben West state and salvage the state from infrastructural deficit and failed promises We have Nica Goulet joining the conversation.  Thank you so much Nica Goulet Unfortunately one it being one I've been able to connect with you. Can you please unmute your device? Yes Sorry, yeah, good morning messy Hi, good morning to our viewers. Happy to be here Well, thank you for joining us. Let's get straight to the conversation now. What do you make of this? Alliance now the this force that's happening One would think that this is actually more like it considered as a thought force Maybe Ben with state because it's at the state level, but what do you make of this? Now if I reach the statement issued by the Proportedly issued by the chairman of the labor party in Ben West state It sounds pretty much to me like a protest You know, he is having grievances with the national office of the party and He is basically issuing a protest And probably a threat to say that if you guys don't support us Are the national level or from the national office? We are going to turn our support And I vote us to arrive a candidate on the labor party platform What I don't know is the reaction of the national office To this development in Ben West stage, but I expect That there will be some sort of reaction from the national office The labor party is lucky to have a candidate in the person or mr. Peter will be who's a serious minded person So even if the national office does not respond I expect Mr. Peter will be to word into this controversy and Resolve it What you're saying that the sdp You know sdp in Ben West state it's not like they really mean it because in their statement as well I mean a statement from the chairman has talked about the fact that he's consulted The apc the PDP but you know, it feels like there's some kind of issues and at the end of the day The labor part is what this resulted to boy if you you might just just be a way to get the attention of The national because we know the crisis that's going on With the sdp and so there are a lot of factions. So you're saying that this is not what we think it is like a thought force I don't think Is a thought force I believe like good like you have really said This is a cry out by the state chairman of the sdp to get attention and And I'm not surprised because like you have really said The sdp is a message in all sorts of controversies. I think even in their governorship Primaries in Benway There are legal tosses that are going on and all of that and for me It is very sad. It's very sad because what we expect are parties like the sdp to start building eternal democracy Start getting assembly seats has a rap seats getting Senatorial seats even governorship seats so that they can become a party to be reckoned with but you know Parties like the sdp allow themselves to suffer the same manley that the major parties are suffering and Then you ask yourself the question if you as a minority party Wants to come into the fray shouldn't you be doing Something different from the major parties because it is in showing that you are different That you'll be able to win the voters onto your side But you cannot come onto the stage and be doing the same thing That the ptp and the apc are doing as a party and expect the people to take you serious So I think the sdp as a party needs to reorganize themselves They also have to watch out because you know this major parties when they see that a church force is trying to form they actually send in fifth columnist into those Movements and disrupt them and I mean it is one of the things that label party itself has to watch out for There could be people who are taking very central race in the label party today But whose objective is simply to disrupt that movement and knock off oxygen From from from their system so that he doesn't work out. He said he said no strategy by the major parties to cause insurrection in parties that they believe are going to Make some some inroads into the elections, especially as we are heading into 2023 I mean, so don't you think that this is coming from a need to have a change at the end of a deal? Unfortunately, there might just be a lot is going on with the sdp You know at the national level The chairman has mentioned the fact that you know infrastructural deficit and The fact that you know the people of Benwick state have really nothing to show for after all of the promises That's been made so it's important that you have You know another force or party or someone come up to salvage the situation Don't you think that this is warning is coming from a desire for change? I mean people are tired. It's not just what you think and that's why they're saying hey We want to throw our support because we don't have a candidate Don't you think that that's the current reality of of Benwick state and there's a need for change? Absolutely there is need for change But the worry here is that a party like the sdp We should be bringing that change is to in the same path That this major parties that they are hoping to change what they are doing It's happening the fact that the label party does not have a candidate if the chairman say the label party does sorry The if the chairman say that the sdp does not have a candidate a Gobernatorial candidate in Benwick that alone is a test sign of Insurrection within that party One has made them not to have a gobernatorial candidate because he did the sdp Ordinary should be a strong minority party. So why would they not have a gobernatorial candidate in a state like Benwick a state that is is suffering a lot of misrule and misgovernance and The electorate are there for the taking So this is the whole point that Yes, there is need for change But unfortunately these parties that are coming up that should be the agent of change Actually doing the same thing repeating the same thing going by the same road That the party you want to sweep up But they are throwing their support to the label party in the state It brings me down to the question of do you think that the the label party in Benwick state has this threat or The structure as we constantly put it You know to win an election especially in that state where you have the presence so The label party not only in Benwick state But nationally does not have a structure along with me structure with me There has to be strong label party movement at the national at the regional at the state 36 states at the 774 local governments at the 8,800 plus words and The hundred and twenty thousand or more polling units in Nigeria You must have representation at all those levels that is what structure means you must have people doing the legwork You must have people knocking on doors Meeting people in the market squares meeting people at their places of work Getting label party to be known and label party candidates to be known at all those levels that I have described That is what structure is and the label party today as we know it does not have those structures as we can see in the recent a kitty governatory election. They didn't make an impact but the advantage that the label party has is one I make their wisdom have decided to give about six to seven months between the emergence of candidates and the proper elections This is something that has not happened in Nigeria and I make has needs to be commented for that So the level party has today Be July all the way to February next year to build those structures It will be very strategic and tactical about it. You see because You know the level party can easily win in Nigeria's election, but they have to carry on in a very strategic way I mean what I can advise them to do is They need to follow the same strategy that those who got Donald Trump at our office followed You see those who got Donald Trump at our office. They didn't bother with Donald Trump supporters Because they knew that even they said Donald Trump has committed murder They will still follow Donald Trump So they instead went and got people who didn't want Donald Trump in office They got them together in a movement and they voted on a Trump out. So you will notice that Donald Trump got 74 million votes 74 million votes on his own was the highest any American president Has pulled in the history of America But these people who wanted Donald Trump out they went and mobilized 81 million voters To come and say no to the 74 million. That is how they kicked out Donald Trump Applying that to Nigeria you have all sorts of groups and blocks that are totally angry With the current system you have as soon they are ignored Students they are home. You have the women see the way APC and PDP treated women. They are there You have the labor unions see how they are treating them You know, you have all those groups if the labor party is strategic and methodical By going to harness all these people Who have one grievance on the other against the system today and they put them in a movement That I can see how they are not going to sweep the elections at all levels in Nigeria But that work needs to be done so far I can't see the labor party doing that work, but they have to begin to do that work now Because I think six months is too long a time. It may not belong enough for them so but let's begin to look at the combination of the SDP and the Labour Party in Benway State. We're talking about the Alliance now that's been formed despite the fact that we know that the center is not together That's why you have All of these factions and different interests, but it is what it is in Benway State. What should we expect from this alliance? so first and foremost the labor party Gobernatorial candidate for Benway is is in his own person a strong candidate Why because he has been in the House of Representatives for four times He has consistently won elections to go back to the House of Representatives In fact when he lost out in the PDP In terms of the primaries he went to Abgai and She still won the election under Abgai the current term he is now in the House of Rep was under Abgai It was why he was in the House of Rep that he did come to the APC and Now to the Labor Party. So he is a young man is I think he's under 40 He has a good following from the youth He is also somebody that is known to have delivered Constituency projects and all of that So the Labor Party can build a very strong and effective campaign around him And if indeed what the STP are doing now is genuine as in the STP are not going into an alliance with them That is also going to be a very very good opportunity for the Labor Party to harness all these Disenfranchised people people who are angry in the system Bring them together and they can take the election easily as far as I'm concerned But a lot of work needs to be done All right then, but do you also expect I mean Nigerians have anticipated up until this point Some thought force movement especially when we understand on the studio understand what happened in 2015 We had different parties coming together you know to withstand or oppose and confront the ruling party at the time so should we expect That particular action to the national level more like Aspect a rise to the national level of this formation the STP and the Labor Party It will be a good thing if the STP are the national and The Labor Party come into an alliance and you speak about a thought force I personally believe that we have a thought force in Nigeria and that's the labor party as we speak today If the elections happen today The Labor Party is going to sweep the elections amongst the educated people Those who are in cities the working class for those who have their PVC's Because the the presidential candidate mr. Peter will be has a huge following I think when the labor party is going to have issues if the elections go today will be at the grassroots And that is where the labor party which is an effective thought force now Yeah, I thought for because you can hear the PDP and the APC Having sleepless nights. They are instead of focusing on their own candidates and on your campus They are focusing on the labor party and his candidate has to tell you that they are feeling the heat So the labor party is a clear thought force for the 2023 elections But they need to do a lot of work at the grass roots as we said earlier They need to take this party to the grass the the ordinary woman and man in the village the farmer The trader in the market and all of that didn't know what the labor party stands for They know the logo of the labor party Do they know the candidates or the labor party if you say mr. Peter will be do they know who he is You know what he has done before and that is a lot of work that needs to be done So if the labor party is very strategic methodical and tactical in their approach Using the same approach that those who do not want don't have trumpet office used to Take him out of office. They are going to win the Nigerian election or in the minimum cost a runoff But that is a lot of work to be done a lot of work to be done But but how do you now say that the labor party is a thought force especially when you also have mentioned that? I mean looking at it the labor party does not even have a structure So we talked about been with state. I mean what's the strength of the labor party in been with state and You look at all the states 36 states including the FCT What's the tendency that they have what he takes, you know to win an election. This is not to Make nonsense of the party, but to look at the facts on the table So how is how are they the thought force and we understand that the force is a combination of other forces coming together till we stand a particular force I saw Like I said if the elections happen today The labor party does not have those structures nationwide But this is what the labor party needs to do and messy. There are going to be very interesting developments As we head towards 2023 what you see today is not what gonna be the situation next month It will not be the same situation by September October December We are going to see more of these alliances more of the campaigns and journey or forces and all of that and To me the labor party Is there to win? The support of those who are angry with the system for instance the APC just announced a Muslim Muslim ticket For a lot of people they are very angry about that Not really they shouldn't be angry because Nigeria has done Muslim Muslim ticket in the past But they are angry because the past seven years of Buhari's government Nigeria has never been polarized a long ethnic and religious divide So the whole issue of ethnicity and religion has been brought to the national fore to if people are sensitive to it So for a party like the APC to now go and form a Muslim Muslim ticket A lot of people including APC members are going to be angry with that And that is where the labor party needs to go to to win all those people over is here I'm talking about the Donald Trump strategy. Sorry. The strategy adopted by those who wanted Donald Trump out They were not all democratic party members Some of them were even Republicans Who didn't want Donald Trump in office? So regardless of their party, they came together and saw Donald Trump out And that is what the labor party should do in terms of strategy You know, just harness all those who are angry with the system If we are angry with the system, I cannot see any Nigeria now Who is not angry with the system? In fact, pictures were shown Yesterday or two days ago of some of the hostages that were taking off the kaduna tray kaduna boundary You look at a machete Nigerian.  His commander-in-chief is traveling up and down What is going for them? Who say you are chief or defense staff or you are commander-in-chief? What are you defending if you cannot go to the rescue of Nigerians who are head hostage in their own country? They are not they've not been taken outside the borders of Nigeria They are inside Nigeria and every day the commander-in-chief, the chief or defense staff, the service chief, the intelligence police They are going to bed sleeping working off eating their food going back to bed Not but during that you have Nigerians like animals in this rain in some forests in Nigeria So people are angry with the system and that is the opportunity for labor party to form to gather all these people and then just throw out these people this APCO, PDP, ATO government That's the same thing that those who wanted to not run out did Opportunity but just a quick one Nika Gule before we just move away now You have talked about the fact that people are angry people are dissatisfied And usually it's a dissatisfaction that bets the thought force And so we're saying that Nigerians are dissatisfied We have seen you know possible alliance, but that didn't happen With the SDP, I mean a bigger part than the labor party and the NMPP were waiting But you have also mentioned that we still have time so anything can happen between now And 2023 elections as we proceed in the course of the day that might just be changes and different actions But one thing that is very Very very real is the fact that if Nigerians are angry and people are dissatisfied And people are tired of the status quo and they won't change what happened in the closest election to 2023 We have two of them the next would be the Oshoon State election fingers across We want to see if people are really dissatisfied if they are dissatisfied Then we begin to see it not just waiting for 2023, but even at the state level So yes, we saw the akiti state elections and nothing happened We probably would have assumed that it would have been an alliance of any sort Just to take out, you know the the party the ruling party at the time But that wasn't even the case the ruling party came back on board. So Where what are we talking about now? Yeah, so there's a lot of work that needs to be done There are at different levels like you have rarely said In akiti the status quo was maintained the ruling party got back Why because the the thought for that is being built around the labor party Hadn't got his game together yet for the akiti Gobernatorial election, they could probably not get their game right for the Oshoon Gobernatorial election, which is this weekend by the way So these these two elections akiti and oshoon are not a very good yardstick to measure The third force movement that is forming now Which will be able to assess this movement around the the third quarter fourth quarter of this year And that is when you would have seen that a lot of realignments and alliances And just links and all of that are going to but you know, like I like I rightly said or earlier said The labor party Is indeed A boarding third force and it can actually make a major impact in the political landscape But they have to be very strategic about it By now Peter will be at the labor party should have a very strong strategy team. This game will be won with strategy Well, I'm sure that it's a conversation that would never end until we get to 2023 Thank you so much nika guli for being part of the show. We appreciate your time Thank you so very much messiah. Have a beautiful day. I hope it's not raining too much in Lagos But then I want to always leave the message with agirians We are all seeing the shenanigans that are happening in the political landscape Where to show our anger is at the ballot box So if you don't have your voters card now, please go and register. Inaq has reopened the online platform You can do your pre-registration online transfer your voter card online. Let's go get our pvcs and we'll speak next year All right, then Well, that's the size of our conversation And looking at the alliance between the labor party and the stp In ben wed state does that mean that it would trickle down to a national movement? Fingers still will continue to be crossed there with us when we return We'll be looking at our second conversation right here


the working mechanism of several low-cost electrocatalyst materials is still arguable. Here the authors show a model FE-MN-NC catalyst where the oxygen reduction preferentially takes place on FE-3 sites with the intermediate spin state, T2G4EG1, caused by the adjacent MN-N moieties.

26 culinary specialists from around the fleet participated in the 40th annual Military Culinary Arts Competitive Training Event at Fort Lee, Virginia. The kitchen at the Fort Lee Fieldhouse was busy as military chefs from around the globe fought for bragging rights in multiple categories of the competition. I could get pretty crazy, a little nerve-wracking too, you got all these European master chefs watching your every move, sanitation could take you right out, so working on a clean station and putting out a good quality product is definitely something that's a big challenge to overcome here, but that's what we trained for. We've fared pretty well with the other services and we're hanging in there, we've got a pretty good medal count so far. This is an honor and a privilege and hopefully we can do the Navy proud. Reporting from Defense Media Activity, Fort Meade, I'm Petty Officer Charlotte Oliver.


All right, what's up internet April 1 we don't have an April Fools You don't have an April Fools video not like last year I think we did have a I Think we did have an April April Fools video last year none this year and basically, I'm just trying to finish Phantom Liberty and Oh, do I have a race am I supposed to raise something it has been a while again since I played fine. We might as well Fine We will do the main quest Phantom Liberty I Do apologize for the No G all right, there we go. Yes. Yeah, so it's been like two weeks since I played I always end up forgetting the controls after That length of time Yeah, so I do have a couple just for the camera as some of you may know from my post a couple of days ago.

I'm seeing a little slow down in the game So I do have a lot of windows open. I mean usually at these levels when I'm on slow down I'm not sure if it's coming up on stream I mean that you're fighting The states are a classic copy and paste of ID matching bioscans behaviorals Opacist color. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, so like meta yin or night city a few years later Let me see global arms trade check personality theft check. Oh and gross over confidence big check Thought you didn't believe in coincidences Alex gave her free reign back then too. That's not exactly the same Not an RV. You're here. It's about time to and then he done finalizing the plan Sorry to interrupt I'm not sitting well with you Alex Reminds me of a few other stitches we handled Before and see we worked in op in Columbia Not now Alex.

Oh We had our sides trained on a guy who sat on the Colombian president's back pocket You say in the FIA pulse a lot of what we do doesn't get printed in the norm sheets Anyway, we use stolen identities on I think we can spare 60 seconds Hell might even learn something about so me that'll prove useful alright Our person of interest was one of Luis Hernandez arms trading heavyweight. We need to plan our own essay in his organization Alex had adopted the identity of it She walks in to attend a meeting one day She sees one of Luis's bikini model girlfriend. So what happened? Well, so me it put together honey problem was an important detail slipped through the cracks the engineers abject fear of dogs When the doberman sniffed Alex's knee she Pats him on the head and says who's a good boy? Before she could sit down they had two babbles to her head. I want what did you do?  Don't sit quite straight to this day though Okay, back to Night City. I'm sure that won't happen this time Resty don't break anything We've parsed the intel from the shard so many games It's a solid foundation for the mission one of us surveillance recon data gathering planning. It's all done It's high time.  Will ya? Nothing. Here's your fault Woman's an adult made her own. No, she was manipulated Yeah, V Mission details on this stop warning read We'll get her out save her I know And not just her that it goes for you, too Oh, I wish but I know how this story ends, right? I'll object to free show me from under Hans's duress unfortunately, this ain't a normal rescue option because Well, she's been infected with something from beyond the black wall a consequence of her service to the NUS and President Not about a pretend I understand the tech wise The cure is an AI that lives on a neural matrix Hansen possesses said matrix now. We aim to seize it So this neural Experimental tech nested in a mainframe that from a bunker to be exact part of project sinisher a joint u.s The matrix itself is a functional container It houses an AI from beyond the black wall and its design lets the user deploy the AI first plan Let me have actually heard about all of this digging Hansen to meet with the net runners. You already know the meaning itself is our chance to get close to song and the matrix Hansen hide the French duo because they work for Militech years Also, they're selling Hansen access codes handy when songbird goes to extract Hansen's gun in for data from what he knows was a secret Militech Runners scans and behaviorals we have now we just need to take those twins out of the equation Amory can roar cassette.

Sorry guys now this became a now this becomes a fix inventory Game I don't have so much stuff That's one thing I'm not a big fan of our modern RPGs Paring the old RPGs when you could enter a new area It really felt like I'm going to the bag of armor and going to the bag of weapons, but with the open World can a set up With the open world can a set up since you can go anywhere. It doesn't really feel like Like you've got them Like who new place new armor and things like that like sell most of this stuff or disassemble and things Although one thing that hasn't changed from RPGs. You're always like, oh, you don't sign them a gather of everything if they don't need it We just Really unrealistic So I don't know if you should be expecting realism from uh, I Mean a game with human implants and stuff, right? kind of fast travel This mission actually I thought was a straightforward Like snatch and rescue when it turned out to be like a Bit more complicated than that we could grapple better able to Jump up the way scaffolding myself Yo, I can grab some lots of you Sure, can you set up with them cables and let's straighten this out. You're wearing my face, please Even copied my shoes.  I Won't let this go. This looks a copy right protected. Okay, you will be paying me for the rest of your life You're looks bad.
