Hi, my name is Denise Danine, and this is Holistic Happenings. I'm really excited to have Jan Lucier here, and Jan is a holistic nurse. Thank you for coming, Jan. Thank you. I'm delighted to be here. I'm so happy to have you here. We have a lot of information to cover, and so I guess we'll just start with, what is a holistic nurse? Can you give me a little bit of information on that? Sure. Nursing is an organization for nurses that's a specialty, just like it might be if you were a critical care nurse, pediatric nurse. And so there's special training that you take, and there's an exam that you take to become a certified holistic nurse. It takes about two years. It's a very new specialty. It just came about in the 1980s, and it came about through a physician, Norm Shealy. Some people know his name in integrative medicine circles, and he was speaking to the founder of Holistic Nursing, Charlotte McGuire, and they decided, though, there would need to be a nursing wing, not just a physician's wing of holism. I love that idea. And you have been a nurse, a registered nurse, for how long? 35 years. For 35 years. Yes. Wow.  Well, it was sort of a synchronicity as I see the spirit moving through people's lives and through my own life. It evolved. Nursing is my second career. My first career was really, I felt called, both to be a nurse, but also to be a spiritual healer, and I was a pastor and a missionary when I was like 19 through 35. Oh, I didn't know that, Jan. Yes. That's interesting. And so through a number of experiences, not all wonderful in my life, which really sort of shattered that dream. I went into nursing because I needed to have money to pay for my four children. Yeah. I was a single mother. And I saw a little ad after I'd been a nurse for 10 years in advanced nursing as a magazine for nurses, and it said holistic nurse training. And I had like a visceral reaction. My heart was pounding, and I heard, you need to go. So I went to the training, and it really filled in a hole that was in my nursing practice that really was lacking the spiritual element. And that's really the most important piece for me in healing or in being a healer and being a nurse is that there is a transcendent part of our being. And I hadn't really experienced that in nursing. Holistic nursing kind of brought me full circle, and I was able to implement that calling, that mission that I have to be a nurse and a healer. So that just happened so organically for you. Yes. And in nursing, it really is the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yes. Is that right? And the environment. And the environment. Yes. So when you were a registered nurse for quite a while, and then you became interested in the holistic nursing, did you say it was a two-year training? It's about a two-year training. Okay. All right.  Yes, I am. Yes. And what is your concentration, and what do you do? Is it the nursing program that you're working there with? I work in the baccalaureate nursing program, the BSN at Elms. I've taught also at AIC and Annamariea Colleges, and UMass a little bit as well. Nice. Yes. So I teach mental health nursing, and I teach community public health nursing and a seminar course at the Elms. That's very important. Yeah. And with the mental health of the nursing holistically, is there anything that you can, that stands out as far as what you teach with that, with the mental health, with holistic nursing? What would be the different component for your clients? To be a holistic nurse at this time, there's very few that can full-time be, say, a practitioner of holistic nursing. But we bring our holism into everything we do, whatever your specialty, if that's teaching, if that's med-surge. It's really about being totally present and really utilizing nursing as a science and an art. So it's really using the artistic part, the presence, sort of using a lot of mindfulness. Many people are familiar with mindfulness and being present with people and kind of waking up. Oh, right. So you bring that sense of presence to all of your nursing, whatever that might be. In mental health nursing specifically, and holism, we, there's more mental health nurses who are holistic nurses than any other specialty. Well, that kind of makes sense to me, because I believe it's such a hard area to be in for nurses, because you see such a huge range of mental health issues from very severe to maybe just situational. Correct. And I think that you need all that support as a nurse for yourself when you're dealing with that. Is that something that you address to with your students? Absolutely. And how do they self-care? So if you work in the field, whether that's a psychiatrist, a social worker, a nurse, mental health worker, we see things in the mental health populations that we serve that shows you something's going on besides on this plane. There's something spiritual going on. There's a spiritual crisis many times. There's other spiritual elements that we can't really deal with. And so we know that we're just touching the surface in the way Western medicine approaches mental health crises. And so that's partly why we look outside, what can we do to really help these people really get to the core of what's going on with them? And holism, because it addresses the whole person, is really a wonderful modality and a framework and theoretical framework from which to address this. Right. Yeah. Mental health, you must have seen so many changes happening within your career. Besides holistic nursing coming about in the 80s, is there a crisis that you can see maybe that's really coming about now with some of the patients or clients that you have or even with your students, maybe it's social media or things that are happening around what's going on in the world today? Is there one thing that you think that's really impacting us, our mental health? Well, that's a good question, trauma is really what I believe to be. When we talk about addictions or mental health, a lot of times they say, what's the gateway? Well, I believe the gateway to mental health issues and addiction is a traumatic experience. And our world is full of, unfortunately, fragmentation, people being abandoned, stigma, all the different isms, racism, and ageism, all the different isms that separate us. And so our whole world, people are being traumatized at different levels all the time. And so that shows up in people's inability to cope with what's going on. And so they might turn to a substance or they might have a mental breakdown of some kind. We used to call it a nervous breakdown, not being able to cope with the stressors that are in our world. Life is very difficult at this time. So we see a rise in really almost every one of the different diagnoses in mental health among children. You see great rise in autism, ADHD, depression, yes, and suicide, yes. And small children, young children. And it's very, very serious. And we're not really doing a great job in providing the care people need to recover and to reclaim their lives and go on and be empowered and be a productive member of society. I think we have a lot to do, a lot of work to do in our society when it comes to mental health. And I think that we just scrape the surface of it. So with the holistic nursing, I know it's subjective when someone has trauma and how you recognize that and working with a patient or client, they may not even know this is something that could be hidden for them. And with your students, it kind of has to be kind of you touch upon it, right? Is there one thing that you bring to them that they can take home for themselves? Is there something that you really emphasize on taking care of themselves for self-care for a nursing student or anyone, any profession that's taking care of the public? Well, the students and all of us that work as nurses from a holistic paradigm where we practice self-care and we see ourselves as wounded healers. So out of our own struggles to find peace and wellness within ourselves, we're able to share with others that and I do that with my students. A lot of them have test anxiety, severe. And many of them come in with their own trauma histories. They come on with anxiety, depression. Almost all of them have a relative that is touched by addiction or mental health problems. So it touches them very deeply. And I teach them and we go to the clinical settings. We go in the area to all the inpatient sites. And so I tell the students, look for that thing that's well within your patients. There's a part of them that's well, that's functioning highly. And you want to connect with what's right rather than what's wrong. Oh, I love that. And I teach them to not, of course, stigmatize, give trite advice or be judgmental to just really provide a healing presence and a safe place for people to share their suffering, their struggles in different ways. And the students do well with it. It's quite beautiful. They're very afraid the first few weeks. Well, they're still young, usually, right? Well, I mean, they're so old, they're students. Right. But most of them are young. Right. And they're just getting to know themselves. Right. So they're up kind of against the wall at the beginning and afraid in the door locks. And then after a few weeks, they'll have a meaningful conversation. And they'll feel like they're really connected on a heart level with someone. And a lot of them then want to become a psychiatric nurse. Right. At the beginning, I'll say, how many of you want to go into mental health nursing? I usually get one. Right. Right. And by the end, it might be five or 10. Wow. But at least they find it meaningful. And I also teach them therapeutic communication skills. So how how they're able to be with people that are in suffering, how to be with someone with trauma and what to say and just hold space for them. And holding space is really important when you're there with someone and not having to feel that space or that quietness or just being. And that may bring up a lot for themselves. You know, a lot of healing. And it could be healing for them, too. You know, and then maybe the journaling and in that kind of self care does help, too. I teach them to breathe, you know, some very simple self care things. But we do breathing before we go on the units. We before exams, I lead them in some sort of simple Tai Chi exercises, breath work and really sort of using mindfulness techniques. Sometimes I make them laugh. Just just to loosen them up. Right. And they they find that to be helpful. And then they the students when they're working on the inpatient units will do a group. So they'll do some of the many times a holistic more kind of a group. Maybe that's being creative with drawing. Maybe it's using music or drama, talking about different tools for stress reduction. And they bring to that their own skills. Yes. Well, they're everyone's new, unique and well, they express that. And the client will pick up on different things. Right. Yeah. And for themselves, too.  Oh, yes. Right. Yes. And can you explain that to me? Yeah. To the public. So holistic nursing has local chapters. There's also a national organization. There's about fifty five hundred holistic nurses right now. And then there's chapters. And so we have one big national conference usually in June this year. It's an Albuquerque. Nice. First week of June. I oftentimes do the drum circle. I bet you'll be going to that. But locally, we just started a chapter and it's meeting at base state. It's the third Thursday of at five o'clock. OK. And I could give you more information. Yes. So we'll have that up at the end of the show. All that information that is it each month? It's every month we take maybe one off in the summer when people are vacationing. And what we're trying to do is to provide a support system for one another. We have speakers. You're able to get CEUs that you need to keep your license. And we're going to open it up to massage therapists and physicians. And really anyone who really cares about holistic kind of wellness and health topics to come together. It's a way to network and to talk with one another, support each other because it's difficult in this Western medicine to hold your place with the holistic framework is different. It doesn't it's more like a round peg, say in a square hole. We don't quite make it. Right. Right. And you need all that support that you can get from. Right. Yeah. Your colleagues. And yes, absolutely. That's a beautiful. And I would love to to check that out. So what next, what February? Well, we just met last night. OK, so it will be whatever the I don't know. Yeah. So and I was asked. It was my honor to be asked to be the elder of the group last night. There's officers, president and treasurer, those kind of things. And I had my first meeting and they've asked me to be the elder because I've been a holistic nurse around 15 years. Wow. And so what does that mean? What does that entail when you're an elder kind of just like olden? Well, I have a lot of experience nationally and different. I've done modalities in this for a long time. So I have a lot of experience and maturity to bring most of the other officers just became holistic nurses this past summer. They just took the training. So they're very sincere and there's a real beauty about them, but they're young and so I can give them the wealth of my wisdom experience that I've gained over the years. And you do have a lot. Thank you. Yes. Can you tell me a little bit more about all those other healing modalities that you have that you you've kind of built up over the years that I really love how you weaved it all in to what you're doing. And I do know about the shamanic and the drumming because we've had you at Amethyst Brook, which I've never done before prior to meeting you. And it really is something that just hits the core of your being. And you can't really explain it. It's something that you you have to try and experience it yourself. But I would love for you to tell me a little bit more about. Sure. All those other. So in our it was introduced to many of the holistic modalities when I was taking my training in holistic nursing.  And we have like a little sample of that work as we're being trained. So I was introduced to many different modalities. And they tell us the leaders as they're training you. Certain ones will pull at you. Certain ones you'll feel like, oh, I want to do that. I want to learn that. Right. So the ones that really jumped out at me, the first was drumming was therapeutic drumming. And I took training through. Remo drums has a training called health rhythms for those in the health care professions to bring it to they use it through cancer connection will use it with their clients. We do it, I've done it all in mental health on all the inpatient units, addiction uses it. They use it in jail settings in the forensic nursing area. There's also just I do it community drumming circles. They're on the beach, there's drumming everywhere. And there's research that shows that it does change your immune system. It builds community and it's creative and every in you participate, you're not just sitting there watching music, you're all producing music. And so there's an entrainment that happens that's quite healing. It's almost like a cellular level, isn't it? Yes, it is. The sounds, right? Yeah. Yeah. So that really resonated with me. And since then, I've done groups for years. And I play Native American flute and many percussion instruments. I also make drums and rattles and. The flute is beautiful. Thank you. Yeah, I love that. And then the next thing I went on to was aromatherapy. Yes. It's about a two year training. I want to tip my hat to Kathy Duffy, who is my, she's a local herbalist and aromatherapist. Nice. And she was my trainer for that. And I was trained in 35 different essential oils and their uses. And then you have to do a research project. Wow. And two years in that is really, is that how you're making your own oil? You'll learn what they're used for. And then I can do, I'm trained at the level of in a hospital setting, I can make custom blends for whatever someone needs. And do you use that a bit? Do you use that? I use it more, I haven't had the opportunity in a hospital yet. Yeah, I'm sure. They've not allowed me to use it. I'm sure that could be an issue. I know at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, they do. Kathy Duffy actually did use it on the inpatient unit and they still use it there. Good for them. Yeah. That's nice. And I use it in my private practice for healing. I make them for people that come to me. For healing sessions. And I also make a flower essence that I use as well. Yeah, those are amazing. So you have a business? Yes, I do. And what is the name of that business? Wind Horse Holistic Strategies. Yes. And you have that out of your home? Correct. And I work out of different wellness centers. Which is a beautiful, it's a gorgeous space. I love that space. And yes, and you, quite a few different places. Yes, I do in the Valley. Yeah. Yeah, and I educate. I do classes on different things related to shamanism. Which is one of my... What is shamanism? I know that. Okay, shamanism has been around, it's the earliest spiritual, I guess it would say, way of life that's found in every culture for 100,000 years, however long we think the earth has been here. And most of us now would think of it as the person that in a tribal society or culture was the medicine person of the tribe. And they did healing, physical healing. They might do something with the weather to help with hunting. They were like a counselor. They were like the priest. They were the person that people went to when they needed help or guidance for whatever body, mind, spirit was going on. A lot of responsibility. It was. The crops, the rain, right? And there has been a great resurgence and interest in shamanism over the past, I would say maybe 50 years. And so we have those practices coming back. And there's a lot of interest in it. I think it's how many people are moving somewhat away from the religious systems established because they find them, might find them stale or not really vibrant and able to relate to today. So it's more of a spiritual orientation. And it's a direct experience of the divine that each person is able to connect with. And that really resonated with me. And I really got into a lot of my healing work myself through an Inuit shaman named Mika, who did a soul retrieval on me that helped me recover from my trauma. From your trauma, because you had quite a lot of trauma. Right, earlier on. Now, this isn't something that you just take a weekend course to become, right? No, no. Tell me a little bit about that. It is a way of life. It's a practice, just like you might practice Hinduism or yoga or different other kind of practices. What exactly did you pass me? How long would it take someone to become a shaman if this is something? I would not want to say it. Shamanic practitioner. Shamanic practitioner, not right. Is that, there's a lot of, there's a lot involved with that. I teach a number of classes. My teacher is Sandra Ingeman. Yes. And I teach an introductory introduction to shamanism class, which is a one day or a weekend training. And that would be to teach you to learn to journey and connect in the lower middle and upper world. Then I do classes on death and dying. Shamanic practitioner, you learn to help spirits that haven't crossed over after death to cross over. It's a very beautiful work. I love doing that work. And it goes well with nursing and hospice. It goes with the hospice part of that. Very much so. Really being present with someone. That would be really something wonderful for someone. Is there someone, could you do a CEU with that? Could you tie that? A death and dying, would that be included? It could be, yes. Like a death doula, it would be sort of on the line of a death doula. I teach classes, I would teach a class on extraction, depossession, which is, might seem a little odd to our audience, but I believe there are spirits that can sort of influence us, whether that's from the ancient lineage, karmic kind of a thing, our spirit that hasn't crossed over can become attached and cause illness or discomfort or anxiety or something of this nature. So I do that. I do house clearings as well. Soul retrieval is my very favorite, and I think it's my best modality, which is really looking at, if a person experiences a traumatic experience, a part of them moves off and splits off. It gets closed off. Yes. It's like almost they disassociate that part. Exactly. Because they don't want to remember it. Exactly. And so as a shamanic practitioner, I've learned to journey and find that soul part and bring that back to the person so that they can become more whole, which is really the whole point of holistic nursing, is to help someone find wholeness and balance in their body, mind, spirit. So that practice really can help someone who's experienced trauma. When they go for counseling, so to speak, all of them is not there to receive healing. So to have that part be retrieved and integrated into the individual helps them to be present and then to find recovery and healing and integrate all their parts back. No, it's so complicated, isn't it? And with a Western medicine, it doesn't touch upon any of this really. A lot of the mental health part of it or the spiritual part of it. And we are spirit. And we have so much that we take in that we don't even know, right? And so this is where the soul retrievals are just, I've had it done. So it was just an amazing experience and it helped me quite a bit. And I've had it done as well. Yes. Yeah, that was my doorway, so to speak, into the world. Yes. Yeah. And you did have a lot of trauma healing and teaching that you went away for not too long ago. Yeah. I've developed my, well, there's a thing called trauma-informed care that you do find all over everywhere in the United States and many counselors, social workers, nurses, have trauma-informed care as a foundation for the work that we do with mental health patients. However, in the vein of the wounded healer, which I live by, I've had to seek help from my own trauma. And through that, besides soul retrieval, another avenue that's been very helpful to me is the work of Thiel Swan. She's based in Utah and she has a very significant, powerful story, really heart-wrenching of really being a slave, a sex slave to a man in her teens and he abused her in every possible way. And she received a lot of revelation around that and she's a very interesting person and she's developed her own, some of her own methods for addressing trauma. And one is called the completion process. So I'm one of her practitioners and I went and trained for this. And the idea behind this is going to the root cause of someone's trauma. We may have traumas as an adult, but many times it's linked to something in childhood, usually in the first five years. And so using sort of a guided imagery, kind of a framework, you lead someone back to this first time they had the trauma and then you use different kind of talk therapy and kind guide them along in order to bring back parts of themselves and change that story so that it has a different outcome in their life rather than having all the fragmentation and destruction that trauma usually has. Right, with the communication. It's amazing everything that you're doing. And I highly suggest that if anyone is looking to do some inner work, self-care work or are trying to figure things out, that seeing like Jan, someone like Jan, would be a very good place to start. I do spiritual direction as well and I volunteer at the hospital as a spiritual counselor. So I really love that work as well, sort of again weaving in the spiritual part into helping someone recover from their suffering, whatever that is. Well, I'm so happy that you were able to come on today. Thank you very much. And I think we could probably do a couple more shows. And I think that having you come on first and drumming would be really great. Oh, I'd love that. All right. Thank you, Denise. Thank you for coming on. It's been my pleasure. Well, thank you for joining us today. And remember, get inspired, get healthy, and have some fun along the way.


This is the SF Productions Podcast Network. This is a special episode of From the Pop Culture Bunker. I'm Mark. And I'm Mindy. And this is a quarantine edition of the show. Indeed. I have been urging Mark for some time to take up a hobby. I think he should learn to craft. However, he refuses to do so. And I finally have talked him into getting a scissor hobby. We're going to try cutting my hair today. Now, I've been basically just buzz cutting my hair with the beard trimmer since this all started. But obviously Mindy wants an actual haircut. Well, I said we could buzz cut mine too. But Mark said he'd give it a try. Yeah, yeah. But when I make it clear for possible legal proceedings at some other later date. I asked him to do it. Yes. I make that very clear. Yes. So it's not like he's forcing this or it was even his idea. It was my idea. Right. So that being said. We're going to try to cut my hair. Let's give it a shot. All right. So the first step based on the video I've been studying. Do you want me to actually comb my hair? Why don't you comb your hair while I explain? Okay. So what's happening is she got me a couple of videos to look at. I looked at one on Bob's and I looked at one on the Pixie Cut. Pixie Cut looked way too complicated. So we're going to try the Bob Cut. And the first thing in the Bob Cut, again, going from a YouTube video, is you comb the hair all the way back. Is that? Yes. Okay. And then you push it forward and that will show you where the natural part is. And the natural part according to that is right around here. So combing that. By the way, this is not a how-to video. No. This is in no way a how-to video. It's probably a how-to-not video. This is more of a comedy video. Yes. If you want to learn how to cut hair, there are other videos. Indeed. Oh, Mark is so nervous. I am very nervous. Okay. As long as you don't cut my ear off. I know my sisters are all going to be watching this. They're going to say, how could you do that, Mindy? All right. So that goes forward like that. And this goes backward. I may never pay a salon again. Okay. Mark will only be cutting the hair of people that he's related to. Yes. I think I'm getting this right. I don't know. I won't be mad if it mess up. I figure if it's close enough. Also, Mark is left-handed. Yes. And so he has to do this based on a right-handed video. Yes. Which is really hard. If you see me after this with my hair buzzed, you'll know why. You'll know why. You'll know why. That sounded a little more confident. I just had to throw caution to the wind here. I think I changed my mind. Here. So how much, I assume you want your ears covered? Usually I tell the stylist, what do you think? And so now it's a matter of thinning it out, right? Yeah, I think so. So doing what she's doing now.  Is she cutting or is she thinning? This is going to be really interesting. I'm feeling lots of hair fallout. We've watched a number of YouTube videos over the last four or five days about this. So we've got the general idea even if we don't have the skill. Maybe we should have just put a bowl over my head. Cut around. They mow hair cut. Next, I give Mark a tattoo. Yeah, right. Okay, so we just try the other side then. Yeah. Okay. I don't think I'll ever get Mark to do this again. I doubt it. I think that he will be too traumatized by this. We could have gotten a flow bead. Do you remember the flow bead? Yep. I do remember the flow bead. Okay, it's definitely a... Maybe Mark has a flow bead commercial that he could put in here. Do I have to tip you? I don't think you're going to want to. Okay, we're back. After a short mirror break, I'm not unhappy so far. Mark's going to take a little bit more off.  Yeah. And then I'm going to try to use my beard trimmer to trim off the little excess at the back. Yeah. See, I'm thinking I looked a little bit like Ponch from Chips. Chips? The blonde here. Oh, the other guy. The other guy. The blonde guy. Whatever his name was. What is his name? I don't remember. The other guy. I was like Ponch. Yeah, not Ponch. I didn't give you a pompadour, I don't think. Closing my eyes. Or he's straight up and down as I can get.  Yup, that's the issue. I'm sure there are left-handed stuff. This is a left-handed comb, I think. I'm not sure what you call this hairstyle except less hair. Less hair. I don't think you can in any way call it a bob. No. I've abandoned the video at this point. Do you feel like it's ready to go style? As ready as it's going to be. All right. Okay. Well, here we are. We're at the end. She did a little styling of it. Yeah, a little bit. Not a whole lot. Pretty good. It feels better, which is the important part. Right. Mark says he can look at me. Well, all I got to say about this is it's 2020. Where is that device on the Jetsons that the thing comes down and is... And here's your new hairstyle. Yeah. Where is that? Where is that? It's with the flying cars, honey. Indeed. Well, you can check out my haircut on future episodes of From the Pop Culture Bunker. Yeah. Or on the video audio podcast too. But you can't check out my haircut there. No. And that's over at SF Productions. SFPodcastNetwork.com. That's the name. Mark is still flustered by my hair. I am. Or on Facebook or Twitter. Yes. So, thanks for watching this special quarantine episode.

Tommy was so and I tried to look up the pronounce the pronunciation of his last name and so many people pronounce it in many Different ways and you know, they kind of like use that as well like in reddit forms to even make fun of the movie But the movie itself Was just destroyed by critics I guess since 2003 and its release and all the way up until the day to the points where the film is so bad That is actually good and films can't be so bad to where they're good kind of like Sharknado or whatever You know those films are incredibly stupid, but I enjoy the hell out of them I enjoyed the hell out of them because they're just so bad But the thing about it is like Sharknado's movies. They know that they're being bad Those are self-aware, but when I was doing my research on the room the room You know this guy that directed this movie and written and produced the time and was so he didn't go out to make a bad movie He was actually trying to make a good movie and it just turned out being so crappy and that's like kind of sad But at the same time it's kind of funny But you know to share some more light on it a good thing about it is that it isn't it since it was just destroyed By everybody critics and fans alike when it first came out now It's kind of being praised as a court classic and people are loving this movie and I hear and when I was doing my Research today actually made a profit and that's just so funny because also the budget That was reported for this movie with six million dollars And if you look at the film you're gonna be asking yourself like okay Why the hell did it cost six million dollars to create this film? It should have cost no more than like a hundred thousand But there are some there's certain scenes in the movie that you kind of know where all the money went to or whatever So that's just like my little intro. I'm just gonna get you know go ahead and get into this I guess more than I already have and The crazy thing is before I saw this movie Because I really wanted to see it with the disaster artists coming out whatever because I try to stay on top of my new releases But before I saw this movie the worst movie that I've ever seen in my life was movie 43 Which came out in 2013 and it has like 11 12 or 13 different directors and that movie is just a Summation of a number of subplots not subplots But just minor short stories all kind of bought up into one and that movie is all over the place It's just a crappy mess a movie was so bad that when it premiered Then like 60% of the cast and crew didn't even show up for the premiere, you know So that's just a test that's just a true testament on how bad that film was but after seeing the room You know honest I can say that the room is the worst movie that I have ever seen in my entire life I don't think a movie can get any worse than this and again What's kind of funny and sad is that the director Tommy was so he did not aim to do that It just ended up being like, you know a crappy movie or whatever But what there's so much to talk about I can rip this thing for to shreds for like 24 hours It's just mentioning how bad it is But when I first started watching it last night, you know the first few minutes of the move I was okay, you know, I think I don't even think this move is gonna be that bad I think people are just bored and just kind of want something to pick on or whatever I mean the production quality is low, but you know, I mean it seems like a pretty competent film and now I was trying to give it a chance But no there was one scene in the beginning so I was just like hey what the hell is going on You know, this movie is horrible and like we're barely like within the first five minutes But what the main plot or premise story of the movie is is you have the man god Tommy was so who is playing a character named Johnny and he is married when I say now He's not married.  He is the breadwinner. Lisa is basically What what I want to say she is a lazy scumbag whore to say the least in my opinion and the movie is just basically about him just trying to please her and get married or Whatever and you know, she doesn't love him She's betraying him and cheating on him and I don't want to give away too much plot because well No, it doesn't matter at this point, you know, she doesn't love him.  They have this or Lisa and Johnny have a best friend as well named Denny And he's super weird and Lisa's mom is named Claudette and the whole movie is just a mishmash mess of People coming in and out of this apartment with the plot not really going anywhere at all There are so many funny things in this movie because they're just so bad like for instance Johnny himself Tommy was so or not not just him the acting across the whole board the whole entire cast It's just two thumbs down garbage trash from the depths of hell Some of the worst acting I've ever seen in my entire life in any film production TV show period The only character in this movie that it does a pretty decent job at the acting is Lisa's mom Her name is Claudette. She's the only person in this movie that seems to have some type of sense or recollection about like what's going on And has a sense of reality But like the worst acting goes to Johnny the guy that wrote directed and produced the film Tommy was so like seriously I would not be surprised if it came out to where every time before they had to take before he said action that he Got like the biggest bag of weed and smoke the whole thing and then said action or whatever Infilmed his scenes and filming his lines because like seriously his eyes are like like this the whole time Like he's like freaking highs Akai not not not highs Akai like he is up there orbiting with Pluto and Neptune and all the others Planets in the solar system. That's just how he looks when he comes across I was like the whole top of his face never moves.  Well, it's just a big mess They have this friend named Denny. That's just weird as well like at the very beginning of the film There is like a number of sex scenes like the movie wasn't even 20 minutes in and that was like on this third or fourth sex scene I'm like man like why they having so much sex but it was just so Unrealistic the way that you know Johnny is trying to you know Pelvic thrust and do all this and move all awkward like I am now in this chair and it's like he's like, you know Not even hitting the right spot or whatever like it's like he's penetrating her her belly button or like her side or something like that You know not the pelvic region where he's supposed to be But this character named Denny like he just so in he's so intrusive or whatever, you know Lisa and and Johnny trying to go upstairs and get it on or whatever and you know, they're like, okay Johnny I mean Denny by you know, we're about to go upstairs you want some quiet time and you know Denny's just weird or whatever and while they're trying to get it on He just goes upstairs and jumps in the bed with them and starts trying to have a pillow fight And I'm like it's probably want to do that to me man If you don't get the f out of here like what is wrong with you like who does stuff like that, you know So that right there already like set the tone of just how bizarre and crazy this movie is because it is just crazy I mean, you don't know where everything is going I look at the sport of football completely different now because they just dilute That sport in the football to the highest degree just making It seem like a sport that I even never want to play or watch ever again And I'll save that for you too. You just you know, watch the movie and you'll see exactly On what I'm talking about but also said like it has a number of quotes Like, you know, like one where he's on the roof. He's like, I did not hit her. It's not true.  I did not hear her I did not Hi mark. I mean there's like 10 quotes like that if you see the movie You'll know exactly what I'm talking about And one thing to where he just wasted so much money on the production of this film with this $6 million is there's a rooftop scene. It's where the whole background is A green screen and this is completely unnecessary. They did not have to do that They could have filmed these scenes in the garage or they could have found an actual real rooftop or something But to see all that money go to that it's just like, dude, what was you thinking? And there's just like another joke about it because no one knows where he got the six million dollars from To find that's this film. That's just like another ongoing joke that kind of breaks the fourth wall You know in this movie and outside of the movie as well And just like with this movie, there's just so many random things that come up within the plot in the story That they don't follow through to the end like, you know lisa's mom cladette or whatever She's like, oh the test came back and I definitely have breast cancer You know, she says it like she's happy about it. Like yes I got the results back and it's like they never addressed it in the film Or another scene where denny is on the roof or whatever just some random drug dealer comes and like, hey Where's my money? Where is my money? You know and like they never like that scene right there was like the worst acting in the whole movie You know, we got what's the name?  I mean, there's so many scenes in this movie where the camera's out of focus and they don't You know, try to check the lens. It's just so many things on a narrative and technical level to where you just kind of like Did they really make this movie? But you know, because it's so bad it's good now people are watching and people are trying to, you know, Finding some enjoyment in it and apparently it's making a profit, you know, so before I saw this movie Uh Movie 43 was the worst movie that I've ever seen but after this I would have to give it to the room Um, if I were to rate the room out of a one out of 10, I would give it a one out of 10 Yes, or one out of 10 It is that bad But I do still recommend you watch it just because you'll get a lot of laughs Just about how good I mean you'll get a lot of laughs about how bad it really is But guys, that's just my opinion Have you seen the room or do you want to see in the room to see the disaster artists coming out december 8th Um, did I turn you off did I turn you on do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?

reel down below for you as well you can save that and that way you can reference that and this video on how to make the protein coffee so let's get started on this 35 gram of protein delicious coffee like I said I'm an iced coffee drinker so 99.9% of the time I'm making this iced again you can make it blended or hot now this protein coffee is very very easy to make it you it includes only three ingredients now this first ingredient is optional now you can make the this protein coffee with a water base if you would like but I actually like to use a cold brew base and if you followed me for a while you know my obsession with making cold brew at home it's so much more affordable it tastes so much better I have tried every store brand of cold brew and I hate them all they're either bitter or they have no flavor until I found draga this is the only cold brew that I use to make my coffee now I choose to make my protein coffee with a coffee base again you can use water you could use milk you could use the plant-based milk any liquid that you prefer I like to use my draga cold brew because it just enhances the flavor of the coffee gives me a little bit more caffeine which I'm never mad about and I get asked a lot what flavor of draga any of them they are all absolutely delicious you cannot go wrong with that so this is what draga looks like this is a cold brew grinds this particular flavor is goose's marshmallow I also love their mocha mint and this is the one I'm currently using which is their white chocolate mousse like I said any flavor of draga will work find one that you enjoy change it up to get different variations of your coffee and my cold brew pitcher I bought this right off of amazon I will link it down below for you it's very very simple to make the cold brew go ahead and insert some footage here of me making the cold brew very very very simple I use one cup of draga grinds for the entire pitcher the grinds go directly into the funnel that comes with the cold brew pitcher you fill it up with water you set it out on your counter for 24 hours then you're going to go ahead and empty out the grinds fill and then I fill up my cold brew pitcher to the top with additional water and put it in your refrigerator and you have homemade cold brew on hand and in my opinion the best cold brew so this is always the base to my protein coffee whether it's iced blended if you were going to make it hot you would want to use a hot coffee base and then the next piece is that Herbalife high protein iced coffee even though it says iced again you can make this hot there are three flavors of the iced coffee mix first is the mocha this one is probably my favorite in the base that I use the most then we have karma macchiato also delicious if you want just a really good coffee taste they have the house blend each one of these is two scoops of the coffee mix for 100 calories and 15 grams of protein that's incredible and like I said it tastes really really really good that's why I said you could use just water or milk or plant based milk you would just mix the iced coffee mix in with that this is made from real coffee it is high protein low fat has only one gram of sugar and no artificial flavors or added colors and again two scoops 100 calories 15 grams of protein so to my cold brew I mix in two scoops of the Herbalife iced coffee mix and from there it is any flavor of clean simple eats protein that you would like this is my recommendation if you haven't tried clean simple eats or you want to try out tons of different flavors of the protein coffee pick up the variety pack you actually get 10 individual serving packets of protein and 10 different flavors so it gives you the opportunity to try out a lot of the different clean simple eats protein flavors now they all come in these individual little packages this is one scoop or one serving these are also about 100 to 110 calories and 20 grams of protein 20 plus 15 is 35 grams of protein now if you're using Fairlife milk as your base you're going to get even more protein in an iced coffee that you make at home saves you that will save you a ton of money of getting coffee at your local coffee shop and it helps you reach your protein goal I use most of the clean simple eats flavors with the exception of just a couple of the more fruity flavors in my protein coffee so I add my drag-up cold brew my clean simple eats protein powder and my two scoops of Herbalife the only tool you're going to need besides a cup is a frother this is going to help blend in the Herbalife coffee mix and the clean simple eats protein powder I bought this one right off of Amazon I will link it for you all of my protein coffee it's are made exactly the same way cold brew clean simple eats protein powder and Herbalife coffee blend now there are so many different flavor concoctions that you can make so I want to share with you one of my all-time favorites clean simple eats mint cookie protein powder and the mocha base this is so good if you love a mint mocha you're going to love this it's the perfect mix of chocolate and mint this is very mint forward and then this adds the extra bit of chocolate and sweetness this is probably my favorite combination in the one that I make most often next up is clean simple eats snickerdoodle protein powder and the caramel macchiato Herbalife iced coffee base this is so good this adds that little bit of cinnamon snickerdoodle flavor along with the sweetness of the caramel and the vanilla this is another one of my favorite combinations now this might sound weird but this is so incredibly good clean simple eats bananas fosters protein powder and caramel macchiato coffee mix this is so good you get that little bit of banana taste the banana's foster is caramelized so you brings out the caramel flavor in the caramel macchiato mix german chocolate cake protein powder and the mocha base this is so good this protein powder gives you just the right amount of coconut and almond and it's so chocolatey and decadent if you love german chocolate cake or if you get german chocolate coffee german chocolate mochas this is going to be your favorite combination so good so chocolatey so delicious is the cinnamon roll clean simple eats protein powder and the house blend base this protein powder stands on its own it's so cinnamon and vanilla and sweet and delicious it literally tastes like a cinnamon roll and then you add it to the coffee base and it just enhances the coffee flavor of the cold brew this is really good if you love a good cinnamon roll and coffee moment now this is another one that may seem a little bit weird but this is the coconut cream protein powder with the house blend coffee this is really really good because this again stand on stands on its own the coconut flavor is there the creaminess that you get in coconut cream pie is there i don't know how they do it and then pairing it with the house blend just brings out the coffee flavor if you love coconut lattes coconut mochas you can even use the mocha powder for a coconut mocha vibe definitely highly recommend this is another one of my favorites because if you know me you know i love mint anything this is the white chocolate peppermint protein powder with the mocha base this is going to give you a peppermint mocha vibe and i love the white chocolate in here because it adds that sweetness that white chocolate gives paired with the mocha and the peppermint it's the perfect minty peppermint mocha combination i also love a good peanut butter mocha i love a good peanut butter anything so using the chocolate peanut butter protein powder and the mocha mix is so good together again it tastes like a rhesus peanut butter cup in your coffee it is so good this is my favorite for blended this is the mix that i did for my blended coffee i like to top it with a little bit of whipped cream you can drizzle a little bit of chocolate sauce on top and it is this decadent milkshake coffee frappuccino with 35 grams of protein and only 200 calories now if you like things a little bit more simple you feel like a little bit more simple profile flavor i recommend the brownie batter protein powder this is going to give you a mocha and a mocha that's about half the calories of any other mocha that you buy at a coffee shop these two together make a really nice chocolate treat again if it's simple flavor simply vanilla paired with the caramel macchiato is perfection caramel macchiato is caramel and vanilla so putting a vanilla protein powder with the vanilla in the base it just makes it so sweet and good and then you've got the back note of the caramel one of my favorite recipes another one of my favorites this one is super good hot and blended and that is the s'mores protein powder with the mocha base if you love s'mores graham cracker marshmallow chocolate you're going to love this this one is really good blended you can top it again with some whipped cream some crushed up graham crackers and you really feel like you're getting a decadent dessert but you're getting 35 grams of protein and only 200 calories another one of my favorites if you love sweet coffee is the cake batter protein mix and the house blend the cake batter is so good it literally tastes like birthday cake and then you're blending it with just a coffee base it enhances the coffee flavor and adds the perfect amount of birthday cake sweetness this one is also really good blended and last but not least is one of my more unique combinations that actually includes a third ingredient and a really good third ingredient if you love caramel vanilla caramel macchiato you're going to love this you're going to need the simply vanilla protein powder caramel macchiato coffee base and then you're going to add in this third little addition which just enhances the salted caramel flavor of this drink and that is the salted caramel dry flavoring mix from Herbalife now they have a ton of different flavors this is the only one that i've tried and i really really like this one it's a half of a level teaspoon for only five calories i put an entire teaspoon in mine again whether i'm making it hot blended or ice this is salted caramel in powder form it is so good it just brings in all of the salted caramel that pairs beautifully with the caramel macchiato coffee base and the vanilla protein powder you can add this to anything hot coffee ice coffee smoothies blended coffees baked goods anything that you want salted caramel flavoring in it is so good this bag actually has 141 servings in it so tons and tons of servings i love this it's one of my other favorite blended drinks to make i also love it ice so i will link this as well this is from Herbalife again they have so many different flavors i just am a big fan of the salted caramel so that is how i make my 35 grams of protein 200 calorie iced hot or blended coffee drinks this has been a staple for me since i discovered this i have this every single day i look forward to it it's amazing and as we move into summer i can see myself i can see myself having even more blended coffee and my typical iced coffee again if you're a hot coffee drinker no fear you can make all of these recipes in hot coffee form as well again you would just use a hot coffee base instead of a cold coffee base i will link everything i shared with you today as well as the instagram reel on how i make my protein coffee i'll link the Herbalife iced coffee bases the salted caramel flavoring base

Okay, we're back, we're live. This is Stink Taken on the Given Friday. This is Trump week, Trump week. Every week is Trump week, seems like, isn't it? Tim Appichella, my co-host and Cynthia Sinclair, my co-host, thank you, you guys for coming down. Thank you, James.  You know, sometimes things are exactly as they seem to be. Sometimes what appears to be looney tunes is in fact looney tunes. And we have to keep our heads straight about that. You know, we have now, we have something like 120 days without a press conference. We get on pass on in front of the helicopter, where a given president can always say that he didn't hear the question. You know, we're gonna focus on some of those statements he makes, including this week in front of the helicopter, which, you know, that's from the heart. An old teleprompter in front of the helicopter, so we wanna hear what he has to say from his heart. The other thing I wanna say is that a president, and in fact any executive in the 21st century has to surround himself with a brain trust. The smarter, the better, the more experienced, you know, the more equipped, competent, the brain trust, the better the decisions. And we've learned this. We've learned this in a whole history of humanity, and we don't have that. We have a president who surrounds himself with yes men or worse. And so what we have is, as I've said before, a sole proprietorship government, and it's all Trump. He knows how to keep the focus on him. He knows about, you know, keeping the attention on him, but query, does he know how to govern? And then the question today is, can he, is he competent to govern? Okay, Tim, you first. Well, you always can tell when it's been a tough week for the staff, because if you look at their forehead, there'll be finger imprints like this, you know. You always can tell what week it's really been. The bottom line is there are so many things that Trump has either tweeted about or has spoken on the way to the helicopter, that it is loony tunes. I mean, it's off the rail. But I guess I'll just back up a little second and say, should we be surprised? Didn't we not know we were gonna get this when he was running as a candidate? However, I don't think anyone expected for it to be this bizarre and this surreal with this president. So I've got a number of things that he's done this week that you're just gonna go, I just can't believe it. That's why we're calling this show, is it time to invoke the 25th? Because they talked about it a year or a year and a half ago and everybody blew that off as over the top. Well, let's remind people what the 25th is. Yeah, please. Well, the 25th basically says you're not capable of performing the duties of your office. And it's almost like an impeachment. You need so many different staff to agree to that and actually vote that you need to be replaced either temporarily or permanently. Yeah, okay, so that's the question before the house today.  Do you have any indication this week or up to this week that this president is not competent to do his job? Oh, constantly. His rampant narcissism is part of what makes him not qualified and makes him dangerous because people like that and the further we push him into the corner, if he hears about things like people thinking about the 25th amendment, he's going to become more and more and more dangerous as we push him back into the corner. And that's what worries me the most because we've got so much impending possible wars going on throughout the world. I was just listening to NPR and things are devolving in Afghanistan. Yes. There was one expert at the War College who was impressive. She said, like the Russians, we're going to have to fight our way out, survive the troops that are trying to leave. Bad decision, what he did there. He doesn't know. He doesn't have people around him telling the truth. Well, I've got a list of specific items but let's get back to this exit of Afghanistan. Remember, he bludgeoned President Obama by Obama saying we're going to try to exit by such and such a date. Hasn't Donald Trump done the exact same thing? The exact same thing. That's the mark of a demagogue. When I do what it's right, when you do what it's wrong. It is the mark of a demagogue. Okay, let's have some examples. Let's go down number one.  And he basically said anyone who's Jewish that votes Democrat are disloyal to Israel and to the Jewish people. Yeah, well, you can take that further. Anybody who opposes him, anybody who speaks against him, any Democrat is disloyal to the United States of America. That's the ultimate logic of what he's saying. I find that really incredible. As you said, he's going off the rails. He's done great to service to the state of Israel. He's done great to service the Jewish people. He's done great to service to the country with all this Mishigas. That's the Yiddish word. Okay, what else you got? Trump retweets and thanks, conservative, conspiracy theorist. I forget his name offhand. But basically, he's retweeted and thanked him for saying, I am the king of Israel and the second coming of God. Okay, I don't know. Okay, I remember a president saying, I'm the decider. We now have a president that repeats himself over and over again, I'm the chosen one. Okay, so he's starting to buy into all this hype about he's the second coming of God and the king of Israel. Come on, folks. Well, that's nutcakes. But what's worse is that we're supposed to have a First Amendment, you know, the establishment clause keeping church and state separate. So that's being mushed and it was bad enough under W, but now it's way worse. We have a guy's proclaiming himself God, essentially. Well, one of the worst things in that too is because his base is mostly evangelical Christians, right? And how they could just throw away everything that they have believed for all these years and just throw it away. And I don't know as Christian, or any of the Christian denominations because it's just undermining everything. So all of these very established denominations are just blown away. That's a good point. As he basically threw out words of hate and warnings of hate about the immigrants coming across the border, which I believe did result in a shooting at El Paso, in a sense, he's starting to do that with the Jewish people. He's trying to separate their loyalty to our democracy and he's trying to cast them in a very negative light and God forbid someone from his white supremacy followers and or other groups starts to act on these words. Fanning the flames. Already happening, it's happened. And there are people out there who buy what he has to say. The other thing he did this week was this absolutely incredible, the birthright. Citizenship by birthright. If you were born in this country, you are a citizen. It says that in the United States Constitutional and one of the amendments, I think the 14th Amendment, if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. He is now questioning that. He doesn't want that to be the case. He's gonna rewrite the Constitution of the United States by himself. He's gonna try. Executive orders get you somewhere, but it doesn't get you everywhere. But it shows you where he is. He's above the law. He's above Obama's regulations. He's above Congress's previous statutes now he's above the Constitution of the United States and he is God. So let's thread this one. Is this just getting ready for the 2020 election and he's just priming the pump or his 35%, 36% oil base?  I can't imagine his base increasing but it's possible because some of these religious comments that he makes, apparently, I mean, some commentators have said he does this for them. He does this for the evangelicals and they in turn like it. I'm not sure that's true, but that's what some of the commentators are saying. It's very troubling that this could be successful. Some of this craziness could be successful in expanding his base. You had more? When I was in Alabama, his base is pretty strong down there and they're all like, let's go to church on Sundays and I don't quite understand how they can just look the other way to his misogyny, all of the incredible number of plus 20 plus people that have come out for sexual misconduct. Well, we're doing a show about that this afternoon, aren't we? We are doing that this afternoon. And we're asking whether Trump should be put on the sex offender registry. He's given his relationship with Epstein and Epstein's underage friends. Right, and some of his own quotes and we'll go into the details of that as we get to the show later on. And we got misogyny and we got crimes, lots of business crimes and personal crimes and sexual abuse crimes. And yet there are people in the evangelical base community who say they're a Christian who support everything he does. This is really incredible. It's madness. Does it remind you of Germany or is he just decompensating into a completely incompetent? It reminds me of Germany and the fact that he took away and so it's indefinite detention now. Some of these kids used to be there was a set number of days that they could be in there, 20 days or 40 days. 20 days, I think it was, yeah. And now it's indefinite. They can keep these kids as long as they want. What's gonna happen to these children? All these crazy decisions, I don't know if you wanna call them executive orders or not, they're all gonna be challenged in court. By the time it gets through the court system, his term, first term will be up. So he gets through this craziness knowing that it's gonna be tied up in the court because he's an expert in court. How many times does he use the court to get what he wants?  You don't have to pay any bills, you never have to pay your contractors, none of that. So let's go, look at three. I mean, he throws our long established ally under the bus, Denmark, because they just said, we own Greenland and we're gonna keep it and it's kind of absurd for you to basically say you're gonna buy it because it's not yours to buy because it's ours, we own it. And it's over sale. And it's not even, he didn't say kind of absurd, she said it's absurd. And that's what made him mad. That's what made him really upset, of course. And he referred to her as, as he made, many other women, is as nasty. That's part of the show too. Oh, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take it. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, let's take a short break, you guys, we'll come back, we'll finish, there's lots more, we're only gonna have a six hour Trump week today. Is that all? That's all. One, two, three. Hello everybody, my name is Walter Kawaii. I'm your host for a monthly live streaming video entitled Ukulele Songs of Hawaii. Where I bring on guests, we enjoy talking story about the music industry here in Hawaii, sometimes going back 50 decades if possible and always having some good fun talking with entertainers. We're here located at Think Tech Hawaii, downtown Honolulu at the Pioneer Plaza building and in their studios. And so join me next month for Ukulele Songs of Hawaii. Hello, huh. My name is Wendy Lowe and I want you to join me as we take our health back. On my show, all we do is talk about things in everyday life, in Hawaii or abroad. I have guests on board that would just talk about different aspects of health in every way, whether it's medical health, nutritional health, diabetic health. You name it, we'll talk about it. Even financial health. We'll even have some of the Miss Hawaii's on board and all the different topics that I feel will make your health and your lifestyle a lot better. So come join me. I welcome you to take your health back. Mahalo. Okay, we're back with more and we agree that we're gonna put the, we're gonna shoehorn the six hours into 15 minutes. Okay, but this is so much material to suggest that Trump is actually decompensating and he's becoming more loony tunes. And the last question I'll put you on notice now is what happens? What happens when he becomes completely incompetent and unable to run the country? If that hasn't happened already. Okay, you have more Indisha. So let's talk about the Indisha. All right, well, remember a good friend, guy named Vladimir Putin and a little country called Russia. Remember Russia used to be part of the G7 and then they were summarily, they were going to pack their bags because they invaded Crimea. And also he poisoned a few people on the way and he basically was hacking into our 2016 election. So Russia's no longer part of the G7 for a reason, a very, very good reason. They're not our friend or ally. They're a rogue nation. They're a rogue nation. Yes, just out of all the possibilities, try to guess who wants them back in as a G7 member. The first two guesses don't count. They got something on him, I tell you. It's in the Steele dossier somewhere. They got something on him. Anyway, yeah, okay, so he's alone in that regard. It's not gonna happen. The other members of the G7 are never gonna agree to that. But it's again a provocation and puts them in the top 20 news articles in the Times. But now in this case, what audience is, given the thumbs up that Russia should be in the G7 can't be as base. I mean, Russia completely been converted to saying, Russia's our great, great friend and ally. I don't know what constituency is on board with this concept of Russia in the G7. Nobody. Russia, yeah, I guess you answered the question. There was an article that they put out in a Russian newspaper that he's all excited about the fact that Trump wants him back in the G8, right? I wonder if he wrote love letters like Chairman Kim did. I think you probably... I heard there's some love letters in the drawer somewhere that we haven't seen. You can probably find things that are very similar to what Trump has said about Kim Jong-un with respect to Vladimir Putin. Same kinds of, you know, he loves me, I love him sort of thing. Okay, what else? Well, this is a big deal with the missile test that went wrong over there in Russia because there are people that are finding, there's even a doctor that had nuclear radiation in his bloodstream and all he did was work on the people. You know, so it's... And now they're trying to say that he ate bad seafood, eat... Trump's saying is Trump is ignoring the risk of nuclear and he's also ignoring climate change. He's ignoring it. Even now when it's becoming ever so clear and look at what's happening with Bolsonaro land, Bolsonaro land in Brazil. Oh, right. Jair Bolsonaro is responsible, absolutely, just as Trump is responsible for denying climate change and encouraging people, you know, to exploit the resources in the river valley there and in what we call the rainforest. And now we have, I don't know, something like 50,000 fires burning in Brazil, the lungs of the world, right? And Trump hasn't said anything about that. Because he's on Bolsonaro's side. They're buds. He's got some really bad friends. He's got some bad friends. Okay, anyway, more. More. More. Indisha of incompetence. All right, let's go down to his recent statement about, remember he said how the people of Dayton and El Paso loved him and the doctors loved him? Well, he basically said that the staff left the operating rooms and wanted to come out and greet them and that their doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. They were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor. You couldn't even walk on it. Okay, so Ryan Milky, spokesman for the University Medical Center in El Paso said, our priority is always patient care. At no time did or would physicians or staff leave active operating rooms during a presidential visit. So who's zoomin' who? I think when he did that on Passant in front of the helicopter, he was lying.  The whole thing was a lie. You know, there are people who believe that. And it's the obligation of the press to call him on it. But what's troublesome about it is that he makes it up out of thin air. In fact, the reports at the time, you know, were headline, nobody wants to talk to him. Right, don't tell him that's right. They were irresponsible. Leave me alone kind of thing. Well, this is, you know, this is the narcissism that you're referring to. If you call week after week after week, everyone loves him. Whether it's Chairman Kev or, you know, everyone just loves him. And he's got to tell the world the news, everyone that he's loved. And who doesn't love me? Okay, so big psychological question. Why does he need to do this? Why does he have to have everyone love him? And it seems to be increasing. This becomes all-consuming for him. Find people or create people who he says love him. He's not loved enough, clearly. He doesn't have enough love. So what does this mean? Don't get me a psychological diagnosis. Give me. Don't, I was kidding you. I knew it. All right, okay, all right. Give me a psychological diagnosis. That's okay, because it goes back to narcissism. That's just a classic thing that narcissists do.  Does he believe what he says? I believe he does, yes. He believes his own lies. I was talking before about having a brain trust around you, you know, that can help you test the limits and come with good decisions and so on. He doesn't have that. He's excluded all that. He doesn't have that. He hasn't had that for a while. At the same time, he's making lies. And he believes the lies. How can you make good decisions? Decisions which affect the lives of billions of people when you're lying to yourself.  I'll just go back to the old saying you was talking about years ago. I alone can only fix this. And he really does believe he's the only person in the United States that can fix all his problems. Remember when the generals left, you know, mad off and when they left, those were the bookends of rational thought that kind of contained him from acting the way he's acting this week. But they're all gone. And they've been replaced with loyalists. And loyalists will never be a critical thinker or say critical statements because they'll no longer be seen as loyal.  Yeah, but there's a process happening. There's a trend, there's a sea change here. It's getting worse. We agreed on that. Definitely getting worse. Somebody really should look into the 25th Amendment and see what the mechanics are. Who has to vote? You know, when you have to have a doctor's certificate. Hey. You mean for his bone spurs or for his up here? You know, what's one? Bone spurs on the brain. Spurs in his head, yeah, right. Okay, more rendition. Well, let's talk about what he did to the Fed here this week. I mean, he hit the Fed. He basically in the quotation is this. Who's our bigger enemy? Jay Powell. That chair. Jay Powell. Who he appointed. Yes. Who he appointed. Or Chairman Z. Who's the bigger enemy? China or our own Fed chair? We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will brilliantly work with both as we will do. Well, do you think doubling down can save the economy? No, probably no. No, because it's coming true now. The farmers in Indiana are losing it. I mean, they're going bankrupt. They're going out of business. And they've supported him all this time, but they're not supporting him now. And you have all the promises that were made. I'm going to work it out with North Korea, no? I'm going to work it out with China, much worse. And he hasn't stopped them from their initiative in any way. In Europe, he's busting Europe. If he goes to the G7, if he appears there, he's going to make a mess. I guarantee it. He's hurting all of our allies and our relationship, our alliances everywhere in the world, and people are laughing at him, and thus laughing at us, and thus making arrangements and alliances with others like the Chinese and the Russians. I mean, we are really losing it. We are no longer, you can quote me, the leader of the free world. He has abandoned that. He has actually single-handedly destroyed it. And the question is, can we ever get it back? The question is, in his need for narcissism, will he be able to do anything constructive, or are we going to see a real closet case? Is he going to need help from those very same doctors in El Paso? Well, I know that the Dow is down almost 500 points, and that wasn't even the end of the day yet. Well, let's look at this. I left my house down 500. Well, 493. Let's look at exactly why today. When you're a farmer, you're going to love this statement. Remember, China retaliated. They're going to do some tariffs on $75 billion, because Trump early said, I'm going to tax 10% on $300 billion. So this is a trade war. So here's what Donald Trump said today. We don't need China. And frankly, we'd be far better off without him. That was a tweet this morning.  He's closing their farms. He's shutting down their farms. They don't have a market. They don't have anybody to sell it to. There's nowhere else they can sell it. But remember, a lot of these farmers are his loyal followers. It's going to be hard to them to follow in bankruptcy. They're not going to be able to claim he's done a great job when you look across the landscape of the Midwest and they're all bankrupt. That's what I truly feel sorry for as the farmers right now. I really do. And it's unnecessary. And it was unnecessary. When I heard that comment about how we don't need China, I thought, well, we sure better hope that they don't decide they want us to pay our loans back right now, then. Because don't we owe them a lot of money? They don't even have to do that, Cynthia. All you have to do is stop buying new bonds. Yeah. Just let them mature. That's all. Yeah. And then we're in trouble.  With the maturation, yeah. So, OK, we only have a couple of minutes left. And I wanted to get to the most heady question of all where is this going? The lies and the obfuscations and the doubling down on these incredible disinformation statements every day, multiple times. Where is it going? It seems to be getting, remember the newspaper used to count the lies? Over 12,000. They don't do it. I would do they, but you know. Yeah, it's over 12,000 now. 12,000. I think they're still keeping count, but we just not seeing the headlines on any more. Because we're Trump fatigued. Right. Right. True. We're Trump fatigued. So where's it go? He's believing himself. People still believe him. He's got yes men surrounding him. He's making, you know, terrible decisions. And he's crazier every day. So where does this go? Are we going to be OK? Are we going to be able to get to 2020? What's the damages, which is going to be incurred between now and 2020? How much more damage can he do? You asked this question many, many months ago. When we were talking about impeachment, and you said if they don't do it now, how much damage can they do by waiting? Well, the same question and answer holds here right now. If they don't do something about his madness, how much more damage can this president do upon this country, both domestically and internationally? A lot, you can do a lot. Look what he's done in one week. Just this one week. And if you multiply that by, you know, and then think, don't forget about what Michael Cohen said about how he's not going to leave the White House easily. He's not going to leave, you know, peacefully. Scared. And so I'm scared about what will happen. I believe that he will manipulate the outcome of the votes, whether Russia is involved or not. Doesn't really matter at this point. Because his people are in place, like you said, everywhere, his yes men, everywhere, the state controllers, everywhere, that count the votes. So how do we trust our votes when we have no security, no election security? We have none. There's none been voted on, so how are we going to do that? Remember, the reason he doesn't want to leave office, because they know he's going to be prosecuted for criminal offenses after he leaves office. And that won't be federal offenses, but also state offenses. But Russia has no control over him. Even if he worked out a deal with someone, they won't be able to pardon him for the state stuff. So I want to know if we can get Neil Cotty all back in there to rewrite the memo, so it's not the same memo that says you can't prosecute a sitting president. Who is it to have memo? Excuse my language. Only an internal DOJ policy is not the law. Why does it apply? It's easy to break a law, but it's apparently a memo. It's a sacrifice. I know one tag. Come from Mount Up High. OK, so I don't get it. What I get from you guys this week is that these processes we're talking about, this overarching decompensation, you're not the only ones we feel that way really. A lot of people I know feel that way, it's going to continue. The decompensation will continue. And that means, and this is my last question, that means we'll see more of it next week, the week after, the week after that. And actually it will overshadow or at least compete with the attention of the American public as against the Democratic primaries, rather the Democratic debates and attempts to get elected campaigns. So what will happen next week and the week after, given a decompensating president? Any thoughts on that? I have one. OK, I have one. I believe that he is trying to instigate a riot. I don't know what to call it exactly, but a riot where there's so much rioting in the streets. You've got the white supremacists here, then you've got the antifas over here. So there's riots in the street. I better declare martial law. And I think he's been trying to trigger this for a long time. Yeah, I'm lost to it. He's been working it and working it and working it. And all of his hate speech, which is getting more and more and more intense, is causing more and more and more of this. And so because of the El Paso shooting, now, Antifa is more vocal than they were before. And Portland, I was really wondering what was going to happen in Portland this last week, or was it, yeah, last week, to see what was going to happen. They handled it pretty well. They handled it really well. And there was only a lot for his help, though. OK, we're almost out of time. Most out of time, well, a lot of times psychological issues don't run just with psychological issues. They manifest themselves in medical issues. Physical medical issues. We don't know if this thing continues to get worse. We may be dealing with a president that has some medical crisis. I'm not predicting it, but you just don't separate one without the other sometimes. Very interesting thought. OK, Tim, Tim Epicella, Cynthia Sinclair, Trump Week. Let's be back next Friday and find out what happened in the course of the week between now and then. All right, thank you so much. Thank you. See you next week. See you next week.
