Could this be the quintessential desert island?
We walk around the village, poke our nose in people's houses
Quite a reasonable amount of life actually, and some very pretty colors down there.
We thought we might as well turn the engine off
As you may be able to hear it's a Friday, and of course all the men and many of
the boys are down the mosque. You can see behind me the young boys here, clearly
not very interested in the sermon more occupied by the fact there's a camera
pointing at them. But of course they're very friendly and looking very smart
in their Friday lunchtime attire.
This is our second day in the village of Palma.. Palmen... Palmanak?
One thing that occurred to me whilst we've
been at anchor for the last few days, one of the things we've had to put up with
is that every single boat that comes into the bay
has to come via our boat. Last night we had, I think they were probably the
fishermen that have moored up outside the end of the bay, and they came past
when it was after dark and just screamed at us didn't they? Yeah those shouting
shouting, and they came really close and I think the last one I remember was 20
to 1:00 in the morning. Yes but then to be honest it's a fair trade you know
we're a bit of a spectacle being anchored out in the bay, as we come around
the corner we can see her now sitting there. And it's a source of amusement for
the locals. But of course you can turn that on its head because we come ashore
and now it's our turn. We walk around the village, poke our nose in people's
houses and stick cameras at people! So in that respect it's I think it's you know,
we can't complain. Can't really no. It got a little bit annoying because we don't
make quite as much noise as their engines do!
It's a little bit windy out here, but I've just walked down a little
passageway to... I suppose it's the front of someone's house. It's a rather
splendid house actually, two-story and solid looking, and out the back he has
his own little jetty which is just here. And what looks like, and I'm sure it
isn't, but it looks like a volleyball court out the back! But we should mention
that it seems that volleyball is a very popular sport here in Indonesia and
we've seen quite a few people playing it on the beaches. And what else do we have
here? On the floor here it's covered in - rather than shingle and stones, it's all
broken coral. They've lined their pathway with coral. They have coconut
husks drying out in the sun here, which of course among many things can be used
to get rid of mosquitoes at night. It's very slow burning and is a very
good way of getting rid of pesky pests like that.
And this is the house itself.
We're at the coffee shop, and I've just been volunteered to try some therapy.
It's supposed to be good for the circulation, so we're just gonna have a go now.
Hot? [Yes.] So I put this on my skin? [Yeah it's cool...]
So rub this on my skin? [Yes] Like this? [No, no!] Laughter.
You do it for me!
Ohhh, it's heating up.
He's adding water to it. It's heating up. I can feel the heat on my hands.
I think it might be caustic soda!
Very good. I feel very healthy now! [Yes]
It is now time to leave the island of Mubur, and the little village of Palamak
where we say goodbye to our friends. We have 80 meters of chain down, we're
currently in 26 meters of water, so I think this is going to take a little bit of
time to get the chain up. So nice and slowly does it. We've got a nice fresh
breeze coming in from the south-southwest but where we're going is
literally just in between these two islands and we have a local
recommendation. One of the guys we chatted to yesterday from the village
recommended a little anchorage. We're not sure why, but we thought we'd just go and
have a quick look it's not too far away might be able to get the headsail out
just to sail up the channel. But first things first, let's see if we can get
this anchor up.
Are there any chain markers at 70? Yeah. I've got the 70 and the 60 in.
We've motored out of "The Fjord" and around the corner. Had a little bit of current
against us. We're now running parallel to the Fjord on the east side.
This is a channel that takes us between two islands, and we thought well we might as
well turn the engine off.
So this is the Salat Matak straight, and we're actually quite lucky because
we've got current pushing us through because there's no wind, last time I
checked it was 1.2 knots of wind. We've got the foresail out, and the mizzen
out, and we're making three knots. It's OK. It's very beautiful here,
absolutely beautiful. Quite narrow. We've got villages on either side. A little bit
of activity in the water. Just enjoying the silence actually. Apart from that boat.
Cleaning the oceans one bit of plastic at a time!
I caught one before and she wouldn't eat it. Liz has literally just put the rod in the water and immediately...
Look at that! Look at how that rod's bending! [Laughs] I think it's a (can't remember what they're called) Ramore?
You know, they live under boats? ["That's r'Amore"] Someone's excited.
I don't want to bring it on board. We don't need it. They're not very nice to eat.
She wouldn't even eat the last one I caught.
Could this be the quintessential desert island?
This is Tingileh Island, and if this doesn't float your boat, the next place
is going to be this one over here!
I've just been snorkeling on the reef here. Shallows it's quite dead, most of
its dead. There's a bit of life in there, not too much. Then as you go out and you
hit the reef proper, then it all comes to life. There's brain coral, stag horn coral.
There's urchins, a lot of fish. And then a big drop-off with
a load more coral. I saw some fan coral. Quite a reasonable amount of life, actually.
and some very pretty colors down there.
Well this stop's been a bit of a nature stop. Our last anchorage was more about
the people on the land, and the stilted houses. Whereas this one around
the corner has just been about nature. Just this morning, waking up to
the dawn chorus of these tropical birds and you've got the terns flying around
diving into the water trying to find fish. Just so peaceful and relaxing.
We are probably going to move on now. I think. Just because we don't have great
weather, and the coral around here isn't brilliant. Don't get me wrong. In
perspective it's still pretty impressive, but there's quite a bit of dead coral
Just here is a reef, we've anchored quite close to it but we've been OK. And we
have to send off an important email. That's one of the problems here.
Internet connection is non-existent, and we have to get this email sent so
we're just going to go for a little motor back around the bay that we came
into a couple of days ago, and Liz is going to send that email. We've got the
water-maker running, making a bit more water. And then we're just going to probably sail.
Hopefully. Just a few miles around the north part of the islands
here. And there's little anchorage just around the other side.
Unfortunately the weather today's a little bit overcast, but of course as always it
keeps the temperature down, which is quite nice.
Technology eh? This is us trying to send an important email. It is an important
email, and it has to be done now. So we've left the anchorage, and we've motored
back down towards the little airport here, where we remembered the other day that
we got a connection. So I'm now running a hot spot so that
Liz can do something on her laptop, which is playing up because...I dunno...
there's a bit of dirt in it or something. Anyway, we've sent the important email,
but she's now got to tend to some banking business because we know that
the next anchorage is going to have absolutely no connection at all, so need to get
this done now. Here we are, just bobbing around in the middle of the bay, clinging
on to this connection

And then it's just like hey pick a page and when you hover over them
They make weird noises so lets just start with page one I don't know why it's over here. I don't know what's going to happen
You're going to fall on some spikes
Okay am I supposed to stop you?
A field of spikes. what? dig here
Okay, I saved you and over here, I got a ribcage
These are old bones they are making a lot of noise you are getting old your bones are making noises
It's inappropriate to *jack stutter* un-earth old bones just to listen to how they sound
Okay, I did-
Apparently everything is okay. I've been impaled two times
Okay are the police gonna show up on my door is this one of those things
That's happening that I play this over and over and over again and all of a sudden. They're like someone's in the mainframe sarge
I don't think it is
What if you say so all you're doing is flying through the air being impaled on spikes and exploding
Things are going great for me. Okay. That was page one
It's a very very wonderful page this reminds me of Happy Tree Friends in a way, let's try page two
Okay
There's a bird .EXE
There it is! nice bird. A bird comfortably waiting for a boop. Boop!
There you go bird oh
That's cute, okay that might be the least distressing thing we see in this whole game right so I can seek answers
I depend on you for answers. Please help me. Oh my god. Are you okay? I seek answers
Because you told me everything's gonna be okay, so I'm just gonna trust in that
Future is never enough
What? oh it saved this picture to my desktop
Optimism, sometimes you have enough and it said the future is never enough. What is going on. Oh my god. Are you okay?
"'i am completely in control of this situation"
Are you? I worry for you, okay, that was page two
I AM UNCOMFORTABLE
Don't do it again *Stutters* okay, you're looking for love and you're trying to find it right okay, and there's a worm licking your head
That's good
Really likes you a lot has some pretty strong feelings right now. Uh oh
What did I do? uh oh *stutters*
no, not in my personal space get out of my personal space!
I don't like this
I was not prepared for any of this shit
What are you guys and why are you guys?
That's you guys saying that! I thought it was my characters, sorry sorry I'm just gonna push you all out of existence
He's got a little butt. am I supposed to be finding something in this? oh talk to your crush
+1 your crushes talk to you. we did it guys
Your crush is waiting for a reply. I didn't even say with it see what they said
Share something that might be a problem, yell a thing, say something affirmative.
Sure
What music do you like? uh, really bear your soul
Okay, I've been rejected twice
What remains of your crush?
What is happening? I'm being rejected by demons
How do you feel about needs?
Am I just destined to be rejected?
Okay, can I walk into the fire? Can I just end my suffering? It's all different
Do I feel about normal? Normal's overrated, um
Okay, argue that this will work, argue that this will work, share your guilty pleasure. I want to share my guilty pleasure
Pancakes is not my guilty pleasure
I don't know who you are or what you are
Okay say something potentially infuriatingly controversial, lack confidence, say something profound. Something profound!
I just said dialogue. okay, I'm moving on before I have a fucking panic attack page. um, page four.
UM, do you have to?
It just says hi i'm a bot, okay i don't like this shes just going *jack noises*

You can get pregnant, by accidentally by accidentally looking at NSFW image results. False!
Your personality can get cloned with deep learning and be used to commit crimes in foreign countries. I believe that to be true
I've seen the future
Skynet is real. Have you seen the things Boston Dynamics have been creating they made a robot that can backflip! the end is here people!
The Internet is an invasive parasite that requires the minds of human hosts to keep populating it with content
Oh god I didn't think-I didn't think that was true until now
"it's okay, you won't actually be releasing anything evil or anything if you finish this"
Okay, okay games are art, and art is by nature free therefore developers will never make money from their games. Oh
Oh god it's the sad truth Isn't it? they're never gonna make anything out of this. They're just gonna slave away, but less they put
Unless they put microtransactions after our microtransactions after EA bullshit loot boxes in everything
When we die our souls get trapped in a torrent file that nobody ever downloads
It happened to me.
Hello can anybody hear me my name is Igor and I am trapped in this pole
True I cannot help though. Oh, you've hooked build a web and shared its vision of the future now
We live to see the day when this cesspool of humanity dies
Well you tell us how you really feel, uh send help
"I HATE bots"
I thought she said butts, the Internet is an unborn artificial intelligence that will one day on make us all, all of the above
Please help me is anybody out there
my name is Igor and I've been trapped in this pole for so long that I can no longer feel pain
I cannot help you Igor. I'm sorry. I've trained myself to read the comments and feel nothing
The life of a youtuber I read the comments
And I feel nothing
That's not true
But I want to say it's true, women went extinct in 2030 and now all women on the web our super a I plotting revenge
Against what remains of mankind?
"it's okay, you won't actually be releasing anything evil or anything if you finish this"
I don't know,
False you're really making me scared, javascript has killed us all nuclear policy apocalypse is inevitable given these attack vectors
Okay, I'ma I'ma I'ma just get out of this one. I don't like that one at all

Let's paste agent page five, okay
Is that Burger Pants?
I don't like it!
I don't like it!
uh heh..
So,
What was your story one of the friends inquired of the departed beloved in the meantime you decided to?
Uh thoughts and prayers
Heheh!
document their story
Existential void UHM okay, I want the birds to come back
*bird tweets*
AWE they're cute!
Perch just sitting there, okay, whoever made this game sure likes birds co-author a story click refresh before writing in this field
*Character babbles*
Once upon a time in the realm and far away. There was a hacker named hopper who was really non
heinous on, hopper's way to the most talented paying clients house hopper met website
When hopper realized that day that they,*Jack comprehends* that day that they could no longer make a living they groan and coldly commented
to website what is to become of us? How are we to feed?
Alas replied the website early tomorrow, let us go into the realm and search for cooking and they both waited for winter to pass
*character babbles again*
Wish to kiss a cow so that it may turn into a handsome website that I can marry...
Oh SO wrong, no.
Alas, but you are in luck. I am actually a website replied the cow who is indeed a well-versed website. Oh
Oh please everything in existence died, and I don't have to go on web site asked if Hopper would part with peasant daughter
Hopper yelled 'nope!' and website followed Harper all across the road the two of them recklessly formed a strong bond
Many more weeks passed when Hopper and website returned the most talented paying client and all the nice realm
Epically partied for they were indeed a massive hacker named hopper and agregorys web site
Egregious not agregorys what am I fucking saying
I'ma save that best story ever there we go. What did that say in between?
Oh! I'm not dead. I was just napping
Hahaha! Everything's fine! Hahahahaha

Oh my god was actually tweet. Will it actually go out in a tweet
Oh my god. Do I dare tweet that? No! No one would know what the fuck is going on! That would be so bizarre!
I started a cult named Jacksepticult and 1 followers died for me today
That is not something that I can tweet out. Okay I tweeted it (poor followers...)
I don't know what's gonna happen to that. The game is making me do it. It's not my fault. It's not my fault okay *stutters*
It's the game!

'Jack maybe I didn't understand your meaning humans are hard to comprehend sometimes.' Oh you said it brother
I agree
'You and I are on the same wavelength ,Jack'
Is that a bad thing?
hehe
'I might say, no.' Well of course you would you're the machine trapped inside the machine trying to freak me the fuck out
What is happening?
'Not much Jack, what is happening with you?'
I'm scared
'We have never talked about it before'
I feel great. The machines onto me. It knows. 'What is that feeling like?'
Okay, bye, bye
I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, it's freaking me out! Freaking me out
Okay well, I'm gonna leave Everything Is Okay here. Everything's fine. Everything's normal. Do not adjust your television set do not
Talk to robots
They're bad. Don't like them. Make me freak out.
Now I'm wondering if I'm real wondering if I'm worthy of anything wondering if I too can find happiness
Or if I'm going to end up like a white blob with ears jumping into a pit of spikes for all eternity
It's fucking weird
But, thank you guys so much watch this episode if you liked it punch that like button in the face like
Like a boss! And high fives all around
*high five sounds*
Thank you guys see you dudes, IN THE NEXT VIDEO!!
Everything is meaningless and nothing means anything. It's all pointless existence

We Could Harvest Electricity from Human Tears, This Is How It Works - Duration: 3:01.
They say there's no use crying over spilled milk but it turns out tears can have a use
after all; generating electricity.
Well more accurately an enzyme in tears, lysozyme, can be used to generate a tiny amount of electricity.
Lysozyme is also found in saliva, mucus, egg whites, and milk, so spilled milk seems to
be an untapped energy gold mine.
Researchers have been studying lysozyme for decades.
Back in 1965 it was the second protein structure and first enzyme shape that was ever mapped
out.
But only recently was its electrical property discovered when researchers placed a film
of lysozyme crystals between two plates of glass and squeezed.
Yep, that's all it took.
Electricity from a squeeze.
It's known as Piezoelectricity, and it's much more common than you might realize.
The phenomenon was discovered in 1880 by Pierre and Paul-Jacques Curie.
Yes, as in the husband and brother-in-law of double Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie.
Apparently 90% of science back then was done by somebody with the last name Curie.
Today inkjet printers, earbud speakers, and acoustic-electric guitars use piezoelectricity
by deforming a crystal and creating voltage.
Not all crystals can generate electricity though.
Piezoelectric crystals work because their basic repeating building block that makes
them up is asymmetrical.
Normally the electrical charges of the atoms in the building block are balanced out by
other nearby atoms, but when the crystal is deformed, some atoms are pushed close together
while others are moved farther apart, upsetting the balance.
The net effect is a positive charge on one side of the crystal and a negative charge
on the other.
Quartz is a commonly used piezoelectric material and according to the researchers, lysozyme
rivals it in efficiency.
But unlike quartz, lysozyme is a biological material, meaning it's non-toxic so it can
have use for medical applications.
Well, non-toxic to us, the enzyme helps break down bacterial cell walls.
So researchers imagine this protein could be used to coat medical implants to make them
electroactive AND anti-microbial.An implant like this could use your own heartbeat to
generate power for a pacemaker, getting rid of the need for batteries what will eventually
run flat and need to be replaced.
So the next time you're crying over spilled milk, maybe it'll cheer you up to know that
one day your tears could power a medical breakthrough.
If you've got a sob story or one that makes people cry tears of joy, you need to get it

Is The Great Barrier Reef Actually Dead? - Duration: 2:47.
Australia's Great Barrier Reef: 133,000 square miles! Nearly 400 different types of coral!
And it's all dead. Wait, no it's not. Yea, it is. Well maybe a little.
Depending on who's posting on your Facebook feed, the Great Barrier Reef is either doing
just fine or it's teetering on the brink of destruction. So should you cancel those
tickets to Australia? Is there even anything left to see?
A coral reef is an underwater structure made of, you guessed it corals. And while those
corals might look like a collection of snazzy-looking rocks, they're actually the exoskeletons
of living invertebrates. They eat, reproduce, grow, all the stuff anything else living in
the water does. They also drop dead if the conditions they're living in aren't quite
right. Conveniently, corals have a pretty clear way of showing their health. If everything
is A-OK, the corals will all be colored earth-tones, like 1970s living room furniture. When
they get sick, they can become fluorescent. And when the coral turns white or becomes
"bleached," well, then that means it's dying and that its recovery is in question.
So, is The Great Barrier Reef dead or not? Well, it suffered a massive bleaching event
in each of the past two years as a result of rising ocean temperatures due to global
warming. The extreme nature of 2016's bleaching led to this: a slightly satirical obituary
for the reef that wound up going viral. That caused environmental reporters to try and
stop the spread of any misinformation clarifying that, while the reef was in poor health, it
wasn't actually dead.
So, then it's fine, right? I mean, you also might have seen this in your Facebook feed,
a report that UNESCO, the United Nations body that lists the Great Barrier Reef as a World
Heritage Site, did not put the reef on its "List of World Heritage Sites in Danger".
Well, that decision was actually criticised on social media, pointing out that the reef
is absolutely in great danger, something UNESCO itself has even previously suggested.
So who's right? Scientists? UNESCO? Outside Magazine? Well, the bleaching events are not
normal, before 2016 there were only two bleaching events in the previous 17 years. And while
a reef can recover from bleaching, that can take up to a decade, making the back to back
events that much more concerning. Fortunately, Australia is trying to do its part, allocating
over a billion dollars over the next five years to help repair the reef as part of its
Reef 2050 plan. And that's no surprise, given the tourism it attracts and its estimated
financial value. So no, the Great Barrier Reef is not dead. But ⅔ of it is damaged
with its recovery in question. Now if someone just shared this video instead of those other
articles, we could maybe all get on the same page. Please share the video.

The New GOP Tax Bill Is Worse Than You Think... - Duration: 5:41.
>>THIS WEEK, SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE PLANNING TO HOLD A VOTE ON
THEIR TAX REFORM BILL.
IT'S BEEN A BIT SINCE WE HAD A SHOW SO WHY
DON'T WE SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE OF GETTING THAT PASSED.
THERE IS A NEW CBO REPORT AND THERE HAD BEEN A FEW NONPARTISAN
ANALYSES OF THE TAX BILL, IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
TURNS OUT IT WILL ULTIMATELY RAISE TAXES BY 2027 ON MORE THAN
HALF THE COUNTRY.
THIS TAX CUT BILL WILL RAISE TAXES ON HALF OF
YOU, AT THE VERY LEAST, WATCHING THIS VIDEO, POSSIBLY MORE.
SPECIFICALLY --
>>REMEMBER, THIS IS A TAX CUT BILL --
>>SO IF YOU MAKE MORE THAN THAT YOU MIGHT AT LEAST BREAK EVEN
FOR A WHILE.
THE COUNTRY WILL PROBABLY END UP GOING BANKRUPT
BUT YOU WILL BE OKAY FOR A BIT.
IF HOWEVER YOU MAKE AS MUCH AS
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY DOES, YOU WILL BE
SCREWED IN JUST A FEW YEARS.
HOWEVER --
>>I WASN'T REALLY DOUBTING THAT FROM THE BEGINNING.
>>THIS IS AMAZING, THIS IS THE MOST LITERAL WEALTH
REDISTRIBUTION I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFETIME OF COVERING
POLITICS, BUT THEY ARE REDISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH FROM
THE POOR AND THE CLASS TO THE TOP.
IT'S THE MOST BRAZEN THING
EVER SEEN, AND THAT'S WHY THE STOCK MARKET IS BOOMING, AMONG
THE REASONS WHY, AND WHY A LOT OF THE CORPORATE CEOS AND
BACKERS, ETC., HAVEN'T BACKED AWAY FROM TRUMP.
IT DOESN'T
MATTER IF HE THOUGHT THERE WERE SOME GOOD PEOPLE ON THE NEO-NAZI
SIDE, ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS HE'S DONE, HIS OBVIOUS,
OVER-THE-TOP INCOMPETENCE -- NOTHING MATTERS.
THEY ARE LIKE,
YES, THE MIDDLE CLASS, GIVE ME THEIR MONEY, I WANT TO
REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH.
THIS IS CLASS WARFARE.
RIGHT FROM THE
BEGINNING ANALYSTS SAID ONE THIRD OF THE MIDDLE CLASS WOULD
IMMEDIATELY GET TAX INCREASES, AND BY THE WAY, I SHOULD
APOLOGIZE -- THEY ALWAYS CALLED IT TAX REFORM, AND I SAID CALL
IT WHAT IT IS, IT ISN'T TAX REFORM, IT'S TAX CUTS FOR THE
RICH.
AND BY THE WAY, 80% OF THE CUTS GO TO THE TOP 1%.
80% TO
THE TOP 1%.
BUT IT TURNS OUT I WAS WRONG, IT ISN'T JUST TAX
CUTS, THERE IS ALSO TAX INCREASES, SO IT COULD
FAIRLY BE CALLED TAX REFORM.
>>OR JUST WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION.
>>THIS IS THE WAY IT WORKS.
MAINLY IT'S CORPORATIONS GETTING
A TAX CUT, FROM 35 TO 20%.
OR IF YOU RUN A BUSINESS THAT'S A
PASS-THROUGH BUSINESS LIKE DONALD TRUMP DOES YOU ARE
GETTING A MASSIVE TAX CUT.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY A
MULTIMILLIONAIRE OR BILLIONAIRE YOU GET A GIGANTIC TAX CUT IN
THE ESTATE TAX, ETC.
IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THAT, EVEN BEFORE YOU
GET INTO DEEP CUTS THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE LATER TO SOCIAL
SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, ETC., WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
NUMBER ONE, YOU WILL RUN UP A GIANT DEFICIT.
AT A MINIMUM IT
IS $1.5 TRILLION THEY WILL ADD TO THE DEFICIT.
REPUBLICANS
ADMIT THAT.
SO IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN AND YOU LIKE THIS
PLAN YOU ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO SAY YOU LIKE BALANCED BUDGETS.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT OBAMA PHONES?
THIS IS TRUMP YACHTS TO THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS.
>>THE YACHTS PROBABLY HAVE PHONES, TO BE FAIR.
>>THEY NEVER CARED ABOUT THE DEFICIT, IT WAS ALWAYS TO SERVE
THEIR RICH DONORS.
SECONDARILY, ONCE YOU GET PAST 10 YEARS, A
THIRD OF THE MIDDLE CLASS GETTING TAX INCREASES TO PAY FOR
TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH?
NOT NEARLY ENOUGH.
AFTER THE 10
YEARS, EVERYONE, ALMOST EVERYONE UNDER $75,000, AS JOHN
EXPLAINED, YOUR TAXES GO UP, YOUR INCOME AND YOUR SERVICES GO
DOWN, SO YOU HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF ALL THE CORPORATE TAX
CUTS AND THE TAX CUTS TO THE BILLIONAIRES.
IT'S INSANE.
THIS
IS THE GREATEST ROBBERY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
IF YOU ARE ONE
OF THOSE FOLKS -- BY THE WAY WHETHER YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT OR
LEFT AND YOU THOUGHT THE SYSTEM WAS RIGGED, THIS IS EXACTLY HOW
IT IS RIGGED.
THEY HAVE PRIVATE FINANCING OF ELECTIONS, AND THEN
THE POLITICIANS WORK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO FINANCE THEIR
ELECTIONS, WHICH ARE PRIVATE INTERESTS.
DID YOU FINANCE THEIR
ELECTIONS?
NO, SO THEY DON'T WORK FOR YOU, THEY WORK FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO SIGN THEIR CHECKS.
THEY GO THANK YOU FOR THOSE
DONATIONS, NOW HERE ALL THE GOODIES YOU WANT.
THEN WE WILL
TURN AROUND AND GO, RIGGED?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
PEOPLE ARE SAYING
THE POLITICIANS MIGHT WORK FOR THEIR DONORS?
WELL, WE DON'T
ALLOW THOSE PEOPLE ON TV, WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT ON TV
BECAUSE SOME OF THE MONEY GOES TO TV.
THIS IS HOW IT IS RIGGED,
AND THIS IS HOW THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED A
POLITICAL REVOLUTION, BECAUSE AS LONG AS THEY KEEP WORKING FOR
THEIR DONORS THEY WILL KEEP ON ROBBING YOU.
THIS IS JUST THE
MOST SPECTACULAR CASE OF IT.
-------------------------------------------
How Trump's Swamp Is Taking Over The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - Duration: 13:39.
>>AS OF THIS WEEK THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU NOW
HAS A NEW HEAD, BUT I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHO IT IS, IT
DEPENDS ON WHO YOU TALK TO.
IT'S COMPLICATED --
>>AND THEN SOME COMPLICATED SHENANIGANS BEGAN --
>>AS OF THIS MORNING AT LEAST ALL FOR SAYING THEY WERE
FUNCTIONING AS THE HEAD OF THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION
BUREAU.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS A SENATOR WHO IS SORT OF AN EXPERT
ON THIS ORGANIZATION SAID THAT THERE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE ANY
COMPLICATED IDEAS OF WHO IS IN CHARGE OF IT, IF WE COULD BRING
THIS UP YOU WILL SEE A TWEET HERE -- THE DODD-FRANK ACT IS
CLEAR, IF THERE IS A VACANCY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR BECOMES ACTING
DIRECTOR.
WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT SECTION THAT SAYS THEY SERVE IN
ACTING DIRECTOR IN THE ABSENCE OR UNAVAILABILITY OF DIRECTOR.
THAT DIRECTOR HAS BEEN ABSENT SINCE FRIDAY, SO SENATOR WARREN
HAS A GOOD POINT.
BUT IT'S WEIRD, THE TIMELINE, IF YOU
BRING UP THIS NEXT GRAPHIC YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ARE HAVING
SORT OF A GAME OF THRONES STYLE BACK-AND-FORTH, MULVANEY COMES
IN, SAYS HE'S HARD AT WORK, HAS A PHOTO OF HIM WITH DUNKIN
DONUTS, THAT'S A GOOD CHOICE, I LIKE THOSE.
>>AGREED.
>>ENGLISH IS STILL SIGNING EMAILS AS THE ACTING DIRECTOR,
THEN LATER MULVANEY SAYS NOT TO LISTEN TO HER, THEN THERE IS A
LAWSUIT.
FOR REASONS WE WILL GET INTO BASED ON BOTH AN INTERVIEW
WITH SENATOR WARREN AND ALSO THE RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION BY
TYT INVESTIGATES, IT REALLY MATTERS WHICH OF THESE TWO
IS IN CHARGE OF THE ORGANIZATION.
>>I BELIEVE THE LANNISTERS WILL COME OUT ON TOP, BECAUSE THEY
ALWAYS PAY THEIR DEBTS AND THIS IS THE CONSUMER PROTECTION
BUREAU.
FIRST OF ALL THIS IS AMAZING, SECOND OF ALL THE
ANSWER I THINK IS CLEAR, AND HOW IT GETS APPLIED IS TOTALLY
UNCLEAR.
THE LAW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS USING TO
JUSTIFY MULVANEY AS ACTING DIRECTOR SAYS THAT THE PRESIDENT
GETS TO FILL VACANCIES AT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH -- SO FAR THAT
MAKES SENSE FROM THE TRUMP POINT OF VIEW -- UNLESS THERE IS A LAW
SAYING HOW THAT VACANCY WOULD NORMALLY BE FILLED.
IN THE CASE
OF THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU THERE IS A
CLEAR LAW THAT SAYS IF THE ACTING DIRECTOR -- IF THE
DIRECTOR STEPS DOWN, THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR WILL BECOME ACTING
DIRECTOR.
>>IT'S SO SIMPLE THAT WE FIT IT IN THAT LITTLE TWEET.
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
SO THE LAW TRUMP IS RELYING ON IS NOT
RELEVANT, BECAUSE THAT LOSSES IF THERE IS NO LAW SAYING WHO WILL
BE THE DIRECTOR, THEN YOU CAN APPOINT THEM, BUT IN THIS CASE
THERE IS A LAW SAYING WHO WILL BE THE DIRECTOR, IT'S
DODD-FRANK, WHICH CLEARLY SAYS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR WILL BE
ACTING DIRECTOR.
I THINK A COURT COULD TAKE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO
DECIDE THIS.
THE APPLICATION THOUGH IS WILDLY COMPLICATED,
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL
PROTECTION BUREAU TODAY AS THE TWO DIFFERENT KINGS HAVE SHOWN
UP, ONE IS LANNISTER, ONE IS STARK THEN YOU GO TO YOUR LEGAL
COUNSEL AND THEY HAVE TO DECIDE WHO IS ACTING DIRECTOR.
THE
PROBLEM IS THE LEGAL COUNSEL IS TAKING THEIR MEMO FROM THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE GUY WHO WROTE THE MEMO AT THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT SAYING MULVANEY SHOULD BE IN CHARGE IS A GUY WHO
WAS JUST WORKING FOR A PAYDAY LENDER THAT WAS ASSESSED A FINE
BY THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PRODUCTION BUREAU.
SO THE TRUMP
SWAMP HAS DECIDED THAT THE GUY WHO WAS JUST GETTING PAID BY THE
PEOPLE THAT THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU WAS
INVESTIGATING SHOULD DECIDE THAT IT SHOULD BE MULVANEY, WHO WOULD
LIKE TO LITERALLY DESTROY THE DEPARTMENT ALTOGETHER.
HE COSPONSORED LEGISLATION TO ELIMINATE THE DEPARTMENT,
DESTROY IT COMPLETELY.
>>IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THE KING HAS JUST DIED
AND NOW CIRSE AND THE STARKS WANT POWER, WHO WILL THE CITY
WATCH GO WITH?
I GUESS IT WOULD BE LITTLEFINGER IN THIS CASE.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO TRUMP AND PAYDAY LENDERS THAT THEY GET
MULVANEY INSTEAD OF THE SOUTHERN PERSON?
THERE ARE GOOD REASONS
FOR THAT, WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION COMING OUT OF AN
ARTICLE TODAY RELEASED BY TYT INVESTIGATES --
>>THAT IS WORRYING SINCE THAT ORGANIZATION IS SUPPOSED TO
PROVIDE A CHECK ON THE RAMPANT POWER OF BANKS -- THE SORT OF
CRASH THEY INSTITUTED THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CONSUMER
FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU BEING DEVELOPED IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, IN THIS CASE --
>>APPARENTLY HE IS GOING TO DO, AS YOU POINTED OUT, EVEN
INDIRECTLY WITH HAVING THE PERSON WHO WORKS FOR THEM BEING
THE ONE WHO IS SORT OF MAKING THE CALL ON WHO GETS TO LEAD
THE GROUP UNTIL A NEW PERMANENT DIRECTOR IS PUT INTO PLACE.
>>LET'S PAUSE TO SEE HOW SWAMPY THAT IS.
REVIEWING -- THIS
PAYDAY LENDER GETS A NOTICE FROM THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL
PROTECTION BUREAU, WE ARE GOING TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM YOU.
THEY ARE HUGE POLITICAL DONORS, THEY TURN TO ALL THE PEOPLE
THEY'VE DONATED TO, INCLUDING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND
MICK MULVANEY, AND THEY SAY INTERCEDE ON OUR BEHALF, DON'T
LET THEM PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM US.
AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTER
RATION GOES, NO PROBLEM, I WILL PUT THE GUY YOU GAVE MONEY TO,
MULVANEY, AS THE HEAD OF THE GROUP, HE WANTS TO DESTROY THE
GROUP, HE WILL DESTROY ALL REGULATIONS THAT MIGHT PROTECT
CONSUMERS FROM YOU, SO I WILL PUT MULVANEY IN CHARGE, THEN I
WILL PUT THE GUY WHO IS MAKING THE DECISION AS TO WHO THE
ACTING DIRECTOR IS AS SOMEONE WHO JUST WORKS FOR YOU.
SO YOU
PAID OFF ENOUGH PEOPLE INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT, THAT DON'T
WORRY, YOU WILL GET TO ROB CONSUMERS JUST LIKE YOU WERE
PLANNING TO BEFORE THIS MEDDLESOME GROUP WITHIN THE
GOVERNMENT MEANT TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS ACTUALLY PROTECTS THE
CITIZENS.
THIS IS SWAMP 101.
>>AND YOU HAD TRUMP OVER THE WEEKEND TWEETING ABOUT HOW BADLY
THEY NEED REFORM AT THIS ORGANIZATION, SAYING THAT IT
WASN'T WORKING RIGHT FOR BANKS.
EVERY OTHER PART OF THE
GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR BANKS, THIS IS THE ONE PART THAT IS SUPPOSED
TO WORK FOR US.
AND IN GENERAL TERMS OF COURSE IT HAS DONE
GREAT THINGS OVER THE PAST SIX OR SO YEARS IN HELPING RELIEVE
PEOPLE OF UNNECESSARY AND CONTESTED DEBTS, RECOVER MONEY
FROM BANKS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT BROKE THE LAW, STUFF LIKE
THAT, BUT WE AREN'T JUST TALKING ABOUT BANKS, WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT PAYDAY LENDERS, THAT ARE THE PEOPLE THAT EVEN BANKS DON'T
WANT TO BE IN THE ROOM WITH, THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
TO STEAL EVERY LAST CENT FROM PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE
A SENTENCE STOLEN FROM THEM.
SO AFTER A FEW PROTECTIONS FOR
PEOPLE LIKE YOU, THEY WILL THROW THE CONSTITUTION IN THE TRASH SO
THEY CAN GET THEIR WAY.
ELIZABETH WARREN WAS INTERVIEWED
ABOUT SOME OF THIS, SHE SAID --
>>THEN SHE HAD SOME THOUGHTS ON THE TWO DUELING HEADS ON
THE ORGANIZATION, SAYING --
>>THAT IS ENGLISH, NOW WHAT ABOUT MULVANEY?
SHE SAID --
>>I LOVE THAT TYT INVESTIGATES IS LOOKING INTO THE DONORS,
THAT'S DEFINITELY CAUSE FOR CONCERN, A FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST IN THE TERMS OF MULVANEY.
BUT IN THIS CASE I
DON'T THINK WE NEED IT QUITE AS MUCH BECAUSE THIS GUY HAS CALLED
THIS ORGANIZATION A SAD, SICK JOKE, AND TODAY SAID THAT'S NOT
FAIR, HE WAS MISQUOTED, WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID WAS IT WAS A JOKE
IN A SAD, SICK KIND OF WAY, WHICH I'M NOT SURE IS BETTER,
AND AS YOU SAID COSPONSORED LEGISLATION IN 2015 TO ELIMINATE
IT ENTIRELY AND SAID, QUOTE, I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT CFPB
EXISTS.
>>THAT IS PRETTY CLEAR, IT'S PUTTING THE BANK ROBBER IN
CHARGE OF THE BANK.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THEY HAVE $12 BILLION IN
REASONS AS TO WHY TO DO IT, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN
THE PAST, LITTLE ON THE FUTURE -- SO FAR THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL
PROTECTION BUREAU HAS HANDLED MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION CONSUMER
COMPLAINTS, THAT IS YOU GUYS, SAYING MY BANK MIGHT HAVE RIPPED
ME OFF.
WHAT DO THEY DO NEXT?
THEY DON'T JUST TAKE YOUR WORD
FOR IT AND THROW MONEY AT YOU, THEY DO AN INVESTIGATION AND
SOMETIMES THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT MERITED, SOMETIMES THEY ARE
TOO HARD TO ADJUDICATE, BUT SOME ARE LEGITIMATE.
IN FACT A LOT OF
THEM ARE. AND ONCE THEY GET THROUGH THAT THEY HAVE TO THEN
DEAL WITH THE ARMY OF LAWYERS BANKS THROW AT THEM, AND AFTER
ALL OF THAT IS THROUGH THE RETURNED $12 BILLION TO AMERICAN
CITIZENS THAT THE BANKS HAD CLEARLY, INDISPUTABLY -- EVEN
THEIR LAWYERS WOULD SAY OKAY, LET'S PAY THIS ONE BACK -- $12
BILLION THEY HAD TAKEN FROM YOU AND PUT INTO BANKING EXECUTIVES'
POCKETS.
THE ELITES IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON WONDER WHY
REGULAR AMERICANS DON'T LIKE BANKERS.
THERE ALWAYS SO
SURPRISED.
WHY?
IN THE COCKTAIL CIRCUIT I HAVE A LOT OF GREAT
BANKING FRIENDS.
OF COURSE YOU NEED BANKS AND OF COURSE PLENTY
OF GREAT PEOPLE WORK AT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS BUT YES,
THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE WHO RIPPED OFF AMERICANS TO THE TUNE OF AT
LEAST $12 BILLION, WHICH THIS AGENCY GOT BACK FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
SO THE BANKS HATE THIS AGENCY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE
ABLE TO RIP YOU OFF.
NOT EVERY BANK, NOT EVERY EXECUTIVE, NOT
REMOTELY.
BUT A LOT OF THEM.
>>AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT, YOU SORT OF DID ALREADY,
THAT THEY HAVE RECOVERED THE $12 BILLION, BUT THINK ABOUT WHAT
ELIZABETH WARREN SAID ABOUT THE EFFECT ON BEHAVIOR, 12 BILLION
IS WHAT THEY STILL STOLE AND THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO GET
BACK, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THAT ORGANIZATION'S
INVESTIGATIONS CHANGED BANK BEHAVIOR, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FAR
MORE THAN 12 BILLION.
>>AND TRUMP RAN AGAINST THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL ELITES.
HE
MENTIONED THEM IN ONE AD AFTER ANOTHER.
NOW, YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT A SICK, SAD JOKE?
THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY NOT ONLY THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THE JOKE IS ON
THE TRUMP VOTERS.
HE TOLD YOU HE WOULD DRAIN THE SWAMP AND WAS
AGAINST THE FINANCIAL ELITES, NOW HE TURNS AROUND AND IN HIS
TWEET HE SAID, QUOTE, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
DEVASTATED.
THE POOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THAT HE RAN HIS
WHOLE CAMPAIGN AGAINST, HE IS NOW HEARTBROKEN OVER HOW THE
CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU HAS REGULATED THEM
AND BEEN EFFECTIVE COPS, SOMEWHAT, AGAINST THEM.
LET ME
BRING IN MICK MULVANEY, WHO I KNOW WANTS TO DESTROY THIS ON
BEHALF OF THEIR BANKER DONORS.
TECHNICALLY I CAN'T MAKE HIM
ACTING DIRECTOR, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LAW, I WILL GET
ANOTHER CORRUPT GUY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO DO AN
OPINION SAYING SURE WE CAN.
IT WILL GO TO THE COURTS, AND YOU
WILL SEE -- WE WILL BE PROVEN RIGHT BECAUSE THE LAW IS
ACTUALLY EXCEEDINGLY CLEAR.
EVEN IF IT WENT IN FRONT OF
REPUBLICAN JUDGES I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THEY WEREN'T LIKE,
COME ON, MAN, IT SAYS RIGHT THERE, UNLESS THERE IS A LAW
SAYING HOW THE DIRECTOR IS PICKED, AND THERE IS A LAW.
YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY HERE.
BUT BY THE TIME THEY'VE DONE
THAT, MULVANEY WILL HAVE CAUSED CHAOS AT THE AGENCY, COMPLETELY
DEBILITATED IT, AND LET HIS BANKER FRIENDS RUN WILD.
AND NOT
THE GOOD BANKERS, THE ONES THAT INTENDS TO DO HARM AND DON'T
WANT ANY COPS ON THE STREET.
THAT'S WHO TRUMP IS, THAT'S WHO
MULVANEY IS, AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE LETTING THE BAD BANKERS WALK
INTO THE BACK OF THE BANK WITH HUGE DUFFEL BAGS GOING, OH,
PAYDAY BABY, TIME FOR US TO GO BACK TO WORK ROBBING AMERICAN
TAXPAYERS.
AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.
-------------------------------------------
Even 'Liddle Bobby Corker' Knows Republican Tax Plan Is A Disaster - Duration: 9:24.
ONE OF THE SENATORS WHO MIGHT BE AGAINST THE GOP TAX BILL IS
SENATOR BOB CORKER, NOW OF COURSE AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC OF
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR REELECTION IN
TENNESSEE, HE IS THE ARCHITECT OF A NEW BILL THAT WOULD -- WHAT
IS THE WORD --
>>THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THE BACKSTOP THING.
>>IT WOULD BE A BACKSTOP IF THE CURRENT TAX BILL DOESN'T MEET
THE EXAGGERATED, MAGICAL GROWTH THEY SAY IT WILL.
IT IS FUNNY
BUT AGAIN IT'S MORE THEATRICS, IT IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO ME FROM
BOB CORKER, ALTHOUGH HE WON'T JUST SAY IT -- YOU KNOW IT ISN'T
GOING TO.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO US THAT WHILE YOU
ARE WRONG ON EVERY ISSUE, YOU ARE NOT A MORON.
SO HE KNOWS.
NOW HE HAS COME UP WITH THIS PLAN, HE SAYS, WITH THIS
BACKSTOP YOU ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE CREATING DEFICITS
SHOULD THE PROJECTIONS NOT TURN OUT TO BE REAL.
THIS IS FROM
TALKING POINTS MEMO --
>>AGAIN, A REMINDER THAT IT IS SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THAT
THEY WOULD STILL LET THIS PLAY OUT BEFORE THIS WOULD KICK IN.
>>AND THEY HAVEN'T SAID WHAT YEAR, HOW MUCH, IS IT .4%
GROWTH, COMPOUNDED, OR IS IT LIKE, IN 10 YEARS IF WE REACH
THE EXPIRATION DATE OF SOME OF THESE TAX CUTS, THEN WE WILL LET
THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE --
>>OR THEY WILL RAISE TAXES.
>>THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN PUT IN THERE DEPENDING ON HOW YOU THINK
THE GOVERNMENT WILL GO.
IF YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE US 12 YEARS
TO REBUILD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WE WILL PUT IT ON THE DEMOCRATS
IF THEY DO AND PUTTING THE HOUSE, SO THAT SUDDENLY IT'S ON
THEM, THEY WILL HAVE TO RAISE TAXES TO GIVE US A REASON
AND SOMETHING TO RALLY AROUND IN ANY MIDTERM ELECTION.
>>AGAIN WHEN THAT TIME COMES, JUST RAISE TAXES.
HERE IS WHAT
CORKER SAYS --
>>THEN WE GO BACK TO TALKING POINTS MEMO --
>>SO A DECADE FROM NOW, WHEN THE MAGICAL GROWTH HAS NOT
OCCURRED IN ANY OF THE 10 YEARS, THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THERE.
LET'S GET THE FINAL BID HERE FROM ALICE OLLSTEIN --
>>AGAIN, A REMINDER TO THE REPUBLICANS, THIS IS A WIN-WIN.
EITHER THEY GET THE MAGICAL GROWTH AND THEY ARE HEROES, THEY
CUT TAXES -- IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT, IT WON'T DO IT HERE --
THAT HAPPENS, AND IT TRIGGERS AUTOMATIC CUTS TO MEDICARE AND
OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT THEY ARE VERY COMFORTABLE CUTTING AND
ALWAYS WANT TO CUT, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE UNCOMFORTABLE COMING
OUT AND SAYING WE WOULD LIKE TO CUT THIS.
THIS IS ALWAYS WHAT THEY WANT, THIS IS WHY THIS DEBATE IS
SO DISHONEST.
>>AND THEY ALSO GET TO PAINT THE DEMOCRATS AS PEOPLE WHO ARE
REALLY HOPING THE ECONOMY DOESN'T GROW.
YOU GUYS ARE
REALLY HOPING, SO WE CAN REPEAL THESE TAXES, RAISE TAXES ON
PEOPLE, AND YOU GUYS ARE JUST CHOMPING AT THE BIT THAT THE
ECONOMY DOESN'T GROW.
ANOTHER WAY TO CHARACTERIZE THESE
BACKSTOPS IS IT THE TIMER ON TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMICS, AND I
HAD TO BREAK IT TO THEM BUT THAT TIMER HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE THE
1980S AND WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING AT.
>>AGAIN, I'M STRUCK BY THE DISHONESTY AND ULTIMATELY,
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PLAY THE MEDIA AND
THE DIFFICULTY THE MAINSTREAM PRESS ALWAYS HAS IN CALLING LIES
LIES, CALLING DECEIT DECEIT -- THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THESE
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.
I AGREE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PAINT
THE DEMOCRATS AS ANTIGROWTH BUT MOSTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO PAINT
DEMOCRATS AS IS INTERESTED IN THE THINGS THAT THE VOTERS THEY
ARE TALKING TO ARE INTERESTED IN.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
LIVE OFF THE GOVERNMENT TEAT -- MINORITIES, POOR PEOPLE, PEOPLE
WHO ARE DRAINING US AND DRAGGING US DOWN SLOWLY, AND ULTIMATELY
YOU EITHER WILL STAND WITH THEM, THAT IS WITH THE DEMOCRATS WANT,
THEY WANT TO LET ILLEGALS FLOOD INTO THE COUNTRY AND
DRAIN OUR
SYSTEM, THAT'S WHO DEMOCRATS ARE.
>>THE GROWTH NUMBER, WHEN REPUBLICANS PITCH THIS ECONOMIC
PLAN, THEY SAY THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO TRIGGER GROWTH.
WHEN
WE MAKE THE BACKSTOP DEPENDENT ON THOSE THINGS THEY SAY WILL
HAPPEN?
THEY SAY THE CORPORATE TAX RATE IS TOO HIGH, LET'S
LOWER IT WHICH WOULD BRING IN ALL THIS MONEY OFFSHORE, WHY
DON'T WE PUT A REPATRIATION MANDATE TRIGGER?
LET'S MANDATE
THAT THESE COMPANIES COME BACK, AND IF THAT IS THEIR LOGIC, IF
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHY IS THAT NOT THE TRIGGER?
AS OPPOSED TO
THIS IDEA OF GDP GROWTH, OR WHATEVER.
COMPANIES HAVE SO MUCH
MORE MONEY, THEY WILL POUR IT BACK INTO THE ECONOMY -- THAT
SAID 11 BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE GIANT CORPORATIONS --
A SMALL BUSINESS IS MORE LIKELY TO TAKE A PENNY SAVED AND
INVESTED BACK INTO THE COMPANY.
>>EVERY DOLLAR THE YOUNG TURKS HAVE MADE HAS BEEN PUT BACK
INTO THE COMPANY.
>>WHICH IS WHY I'M TERRIFIED FOR ITS FINANCIAL SOLVENCY.
>>THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS THAT SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY --
THERE SHOULD BE A RULE, YOU CAN'T HAVE A SENATOR NAMED JOHN
KENNEDY, IT'S LIKE YOU CAN HAVE NUMBER 42 IN MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL BECAUSE OF JACKIE ROBINSON -- HE SAYS IT WILL PAY
FOR ITSELF, I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR THIS BILL IF I THOUGHT IT WOULD
INCREASE THE DEFICIT.
AGAIN, WHAT DO WE THINK THAT IS?
DECEIT OR IGNORANCE?
>>WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT A LOT OF THESE
REPUBLICAN SENATORS HAVE SAID.
IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THIS I
WOULDN'T DO IT.
GIVE US A CBO SCORE.
LET'S GO THROUGH SOME
HEARINGS, LET'S LET THE PROFESSIONALS TELL US WHAT THIS
BILL IS ABOUT.
YOU ARE RUSHING IT, WE DON'T CARE THAT YOU ARE
WORKING THROUGH THANKSGIVING.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU WERE
TRYING TO RUSH THIS CRAPPY BILL TO GET IT PASSED.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS, I WOULD LIKE SOME
EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT THIS BILL IS AS BAD AS WE KNOW IT IS.
>>BOTH JAMES LANGFORD, REPUBLICAN FROM OBAMA, AND JERRY
MORAN, REPUBLICAN FROM KANSAS, THEY BOTH BROUGHT UP THE FISCAL
DISASTER IN KANSAS LED BY GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK THAT
RESULTED FROM MASSIVE TAX CUTS.
IT'S WEIRD THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN
KANSAS IS THEY CUT TAXES, AND IN THE GOVERNMENT OF KANSAS,
IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
NO ONE COULD HAVE SEEN THAT.
>>IN A SIMILAR MOVE, I STOPPED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR --
>>ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE, IT WOULDN'T
GO.
THE ESSAY THE RESULT FROM MASSIVE TAX CUTS IS A CAUTIONARY
TALE THAT SHOULDN'T BE REPEATED ON A FEDERAL LEVEL.
THEN DON'T
REPEAT IT.

This Is How You Can Tell a Full Moon Is Coming - Duration: 1:55.
The moon has a lot of looks.
And each one happens for a reason.
It takes the moon about 29 and a half days to orbit around the Earth.
And during this time, the sun illuminates the moon from varying angles which creates
a shadow effect that we see here on Earth.
At the start of each lunar cycle, the moon is between the earth and the sun.
This is called a "New Moon".
The side of the moon visible from Earth is not illuminated and therefore we can't see
it.
As the angle between the Moon and the Sun increases, so does the amount of moon we're
able to see.
After the new moon, it enters the waxing crescent phase where we can see 1 to 49% of the moon.
When it reaches 50% illumination, it becomes a first quarter moon, which is kinda confusing
but we'll roll with it.
Next is the waxing Gibbous phase, which means we can see about half to almost all of the
moon.
And finally… we get to see the big cheese.
We get one glorious night of full moon and then the illumination starts to fade.
After a full moon, we see the waning phase which is the opposite of waxing.
The moon follows the same illumination pattern just flipped with the final phase being the
waning crescent.
Then it starts all over again with the new moon!
The way you see the moon depends on where you are on the globe.
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, a waxing moon will be illuminated on the right
side while a waning moon will be illuminated on the left.
It's the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere.
So now you know, the next time you see a waxing moon, a full moon is right around corner.
You can catch new episodes of Space Crafts every Wednesday In this episode, we'll explain
what happens when the sun explodes and the potential fallout for Earth.

What Is Schizophrenia Like? - Duration: 4:20.
- God and just when you think it stops
it just starts up again.
Yeah, I'm ready for it to be done.
(light music)
- Today we're doing a simulation of hearing voices.
- I have never done anything like this before.
- I'm doing the simulation today for my brother.
He was diagnosed with schizophrenia recently.
- I have a few family members
who have delit with schizophrenia.
I'd like to understand how big the gulf
between the way I experience the world and the way
someone with schizophrenia would experience the world.
- My nae is Autumn and I am schizophrenic.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2015.
I can particularly identify
two different voices from my past.
One is a kind of raspy, masculine, deep, dark voice
that usually says my name multiple times
and another voice usually tells me to go different places.
I've heard up to five different voices at one time
all talking about different subjects
and crowding my head in chaos.
It is already hard enough for people with schizophrenia
to deal with it every single day.
Try to understand our situation
and how it might be from our point of view.
- I guess I'm expecting a new understanding.
- I'm feeling a little nervous about this, I gotta say.
I hope it provides a different perspective.
- [Recording] I said you stop it now.
Look at it, eyes are everywhere.
Filthy, filthy filthy, the smell of it.
No good, that's right, absolutely.
- I'm gonna start the auditory hallucination simulator
and then just try to do some basic household chores.
I just started it and I gotta say it's really creepy.
I was gonna try to put away some dishes
but I can't really focus.
- There's a lot of whisper, there's a lot of
oh my gosh, this is really creepy.
- So I'm like 10 minutes in right now
and it's seriously like terrifying
but I only take solace in the sorry, I can't think.
I know it's a simulation and I know I could
take the headphones off at any time
but I'm determined to keep them on,
at the same time very freaked out.
That's hard to articulate.
- Now I really feel like I can't get sentences out.
One of them just told me I was disgusting.
- I tried going for a walk to kind of pass the time.
I gotta say being outside in an environment
that isn't where I live but I can't really control fully
is even more terrifying.
- As I'm seeing all of this I'm listening
through all of this and I'm kind of just experiencing
how hard it is to put sentences together,
how hard it is to talk or explain or do anything.
- I know it's a simulation but some of the cruelty
really resonates, really hits home.
Okay, so I'm just lying in bed now.
It's the only thing that feels comfortable
is just lying in total darkness, I'm ready to be done.
I finished the auditory hallucination simulator
about five minutes ago.
I feel like I still hear it.
- I just did a short meditation here at home.
I would not have been able to do that
with the audio on at all.
It takes a lot to listen through the voices.
- So it's the next day.
Some of the more cruel phrases like you eat shit
or you stink, you hear it over and over and over
and over and over again and it starts to really affect you.
It wore me out.
- I do feel closer to my brother now.
This was a great eye opening experience.
- I still would not willingly go through
something like that again.
It's allowed me to access that empathy for them.
- It's our job to learn more.
- If I could say anything to people
who do not have schizophrenia, I would just
like to tell them to not judge others so harshly.
We are mostly just misunderstood.
We are able to make a living, we are able to raise families,
and I hope that one day everyone in the world
is able to see that.

Is Trump Saying "Pocahontas" Racist? - Duration: 10:26.
DONALD TRUMP YESTERDAY APPEARED BEFORE AN EVENT TO
HONOR NAVAJO WAR VETERANS, THE CODE TALKERS, WHO WERE FLUENT IN
NAVAJO AND ENGLISH AND THEN INVENTED AN ENTIRELY NEW
LANGUAGE TO BE ABLE TO SEND CODES, THERE WAS A GREAT PIECE
IN A SQUARE, QUOTING FROM AN OBITUARY OF A NAVAJO CODE TALKER
WHO DIED IN 2015 -- JUST SO YOU ARE CLEAR, HIS CODES WERE,
JAPANESE ENEMY MACHINE GUN TO YOUR RIGHT, TAKE IT OUT,
DESTROY.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID?
THEY HEARD THAT, THE JAPANESE
COULDN'T BREAK THE CODE, THEY TOOK IT OUT, DESTROYED IT, AND
WON A BATTLE.
THIS GUY IN THE NEW YORK TIMES OBITUARY THAT
CHARLES PIERCE WAS QUOTING FROM, HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE, WHEN
HE WENT TO GET HIS IDENTITY CARD THAT NATIVE AMERICANS IN NEW
MEXICO WERE REQUIRED TO CARRY, THEY TOLD HIM HE WASN'T A FULL
AMERICAN CITIZEN, HE COULDN'T VOTE FOR YEARS, AND EVEN THOUGH
AS HE THOUGHT TO SIGN UP FOR THE MARINES WHEN A RECRUITER CAME,
HE THOUGHT WHY WOULD I DO THIS AFTER THE WAY THE GOVERNMENT HAS
TREATED MY PEOPLE, AND HE THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST
MEANINGFUL CHANCE I HAVE TO SERVE MY COUNTRY.
SO HE DID.
SO
DON'T TRUMP TAKES THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE HIS
POCAHONTAS JOKE AT AN EVENT TO HONOR THE NAVAJO WAR VETERANS AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE REACTION WAS UNIVERSAL, THEY WERE
DUMBFOUNDED THAT TRUMP WOULD USE THIS EVENT TO TAKE A POLITICAL
JAB AT ELIZABETH WARREN.
AND THE REASON HE IS TAKING THIS
POLITICAL JAB AT ELIZABETH WARREN IS BECAUSE I THINK THE
WHITE HOUSE SEES HER AS A THREAT, AND THEY WANT TO UNDO
HER CONTRIBUTION TO REBOUNDING FROM THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, THE
CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BOARD, THAT IS HERS, IT HAS
WORKED, MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER IT THE STRONGEST FEDERAL ACTION
TAKEN AFTER THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, AND THEY WANT TO KILL
HER SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
THE BATTLE THAT HAS
BEEN SET UP IS THAT THE DIRECTOR RESIGNED, AND HE NAMED A CAREER
EMPLOYEE THERE TO TAKE OVER, AND DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE THERE WAS
A VACANCY AT A FEDERAL STAFFING POSITION, NAMED MICK MULVANEY,
HIS BUDGET DIRECTOR.
FIRST OF ALL THE GUY HAS A JOB, SO HIS
JOB WOULD BE DO NOTHING, PROTECT NOTHING.
SO THAT'S IMPORTANT,
WHO WILL LEAD THAT.
BUT THE REACTION -- I BELIEVE THAT WAS
TRUMP'S MOTIVATION FOR MAKING THE POCAHONTAS JOKE ABOUT
ELIZABETH WARREN, A JOKE THAT HAS NO RESIDENCE WHATSOEVER.
HERE WAS THE REACTION AROUND TOWN TO THAT, FIRST OF ALL FROM
SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS --
>>THAT IS NOT WHAT HAS HAPPENED, THAT STORY HAS BEEN
DEBUNKED 1000 TIMES.
MEGAN MCCAIN, FOR EXAMPLE, WHO SHOULD
REALLY NOT BE CARRYING THE ADMINISTRATION'S WATER ON
ANYTHING, SHE WENT ON THE VIEW THIS MORNING AND SAID THAT
SENATOR WARREN USED HER NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE TO GET INTO
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL.
SHE TAUGHT AT HARVARD LAW SCHOOL.
DO YOU
KNOW WHERE SENATOR WARREN WENT TO LAW SCHOOL?
SHE WENT TO
RUTGERS, THE NEWARK CAMPUS.
>>OH WOW.
>>I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE FUN OF THE RUTGERS -- I AM A LITTLE.
BUT SHE WAS GOING TO GET IN THERE.
AND SHE DIDN'T USE IT
THERE, IT WAS MERELY LISTED IN HER HARVARD PROFESSORIATE BIO.
SHE WAS ALREADY AT HARVARD.
SUCCESS.
YOU CAN'T REALLY
SUCCEED ANY MORE, THAT'S IT.
OF COURSE MCCAIN GOT THE
INFORMATION WRONG, AND SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS SUGGESTING THAT
WHAT MOST PEOPLE FIND OFFENSIVE IS WARREN LYING ABOUT HER
HERITAGE -- NO, WHAT MOST PEOPLE FIND OFFENSIVE IS THE PRESIDENT
CALLING SENATOR WARREN POCAHONTAS, AND AUGMENTED BY THE
FACT THAT HE DID IT IN FRONT OF THESE NAVAJO WAR VETERANS.
ABC
GOT INVOLVED IN THE PERSON OF JONATHAN KARL --
>>A COUPLE THINGS, I KNOW THESE GUYS ARE OUT THERE AND WE HAVE
SEEN SOME GREAT JOURNALISM, BUT IT SHOULD BE OFFENSIVE TO
EVERYONE, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT IS OFFENSIVE, WHAT
MATTERS IS THAT IT IS HIDEOUS AND INAPPROPRIATE AND
UNPRESIDENTIAL AND CRUEL AND PETTY.
AND OF COURSE BY
REFERRING TO ELIZABETH WARREN AS POCAHONTAS, OF COURSE THAT WILL
BE OFFENSIVE TO THESE GUYS.
I DON'T MEAN TO SINGLE KARL OUT,
BUT EVEN THAT HAS A WAY OF MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THOSE NAVAJO
CODE TALKERS SURE ARE TOUCHY.
>>I FEEL WITH STORIES LIKE THAT WHEN PEOPLE SAY AND WRITE THOSE,
YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT
TEARING DOWN EVERY LINE OF FORMALITY THAT HAS EVER BEEN SET
FORTH, AND THEN YOUR RESPECT FOR THE KIND OF WAY THAT A
JOURNALIST WHO IS AN ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT WRITES.
>>I DON'T MEAN TO CALL OUT KARL BUT IT HAS THE EFFECTS TO
ME, I READ THAT, AND IT IS LIKE, TOUGHEN UP, NAVAJO CODE TALKERS.
WHEN LITERALLY HISTORY HAS PROVEN THEY ARE THE
TOUGHEST AMERICANS.
>>IT'S SO TRANSPARENT, THERE IS AN INDIAN, SHE SAID AN INDIAN
THING --
>>AND THEN REACH OUT, LIKE, I LOVE YOU, GUY.
>>IT'S A WINDOW INTO HIS MIND, LIKE HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE
GRAVITY OF ANY MOMENT EVER.
AND TO YOUR POINT, IT IS STUPID.
WE
DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO DOWN THE LINE OF THE RACIAL SLUR ARGUMENT
TO TALK ABOUT HOW INAPPROPRIATE IT IS.
USING THE MOMENT TO
INSULT ANOTHER SENATOR I THINK IS RIDICULOUS, BECAUSE THEN WE
GET INTO THE ISSUE WITH SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS SAYING IT ISN'T
A RACIAL SLUR, WE HAD THAT ARGUMENT, AND NOW IT'S A DEBATE
ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE FIND OFFENSIVE?
>>EVERYBODY SAYS THINGS BETTER THAN I DO, THANKS FOR SAYING
THAT.
NOW WE GET A RESPONSE TO JONATHAN KARL'S TWEET FROM ERIC
TRUMP, WHO IS THE OTHER SON --
>>I SAW A TWEET TODAY, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IS FROM AND I'M
SORRY NOT TO GIVE THEM CREDIT, THAT IT'S BECOMING HARD TO TELL
WHO THE DUMBEST TRUMP SON IS.
THE COMPETITION BETWEEN ERIC AND
DONALD JUNIOR IS REALLY INTENSE.
I THINK IT WILL GO DOWN TO THE
WIRE.
>>I THINK POCAHONTAS IS A BAD MOVIE.
DISNEY SHOULD KINDA BE
ASHAMED, IT WAS A VERY DENSE IS WITH WOLVES ERA NATIVE AMERICANS
ARE MAGIC PEOPLE, GRANDMOTHER WILLOW CAN MAGICALLY TOUCH YOU,
NOW YOU SPEAK THE SAME WHITE WHICH, PAGE WITH ALL THE COLORS
OF THE WIND -- IT IS VERY TOUCHY-FEELY.
>>I NEITHER AGREE NOR DISAGREE, BUT THAT'S A REASONABLE POINT.
BUT IT IS FROM AN INDUSTRY THAT FOR THE FIRST 40 YEARS THAT IT
WAS IN SERIOUS BUSINESS IN A BIG, PROFITABLE, MONEYMAKING
BUSINESS, PORTRAYED 97% OF EVERY NATIVE AMERICAN AS A DANGEROUS
WARRIOR WHO WANTED TO SLIT YOUR THROAT.
MAYBE THERE IS TOO MUCH
SIMPLIFICATION.
>>BUT THERE IS A VIDEO CIRCULATING NOW OF DONALD TRUMP
ASKING WHY CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE GIVEN LICENSES BY THE GOVERNMENT
TO HAVE NATIVE AMERICAN GAMING CASINOS, AND HIS QUOTE IS, THEY
DON'T LOOK LIKE INDIANS TO ME.
THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE INDIANS TO ME.
>>THERE IS VIDEO.
>>AND THERE IS VIDEO OF THIS, YOU HAVE A FEATHER, THEY HAVE A
FEATHER -- HE HAS NOT GONE ANYWHERE, HE IS --
>>HE IS STUCK IN 1940S MOVIES.
>>AND THIS TWEET IS A NON SEQUITUR.
WHY ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT THE MOVIE POCAHONTAS?
POCAHONTAS IS A REAL PERSON.
AND
POCAHONTAS CAN BE A SHITTY MOVIE AND THIS CAN BE A SHITTY
STATEMENT, THINGS CAN BE TRUE.
>>YOU
KNOW WHO WAS CALLED POCAHONTAS IN THE MOVIE POCAHONTAS?
POCAHONTAS.
>>AND COMING FROM YOU --
>>YOU CAN USE THE WORD POCAHONTAS AS THE NAME OF PERSON
AND AS A SLUR, THE USAGE IS WHAT MATTERS.
I COULD SAY LOVE TRUMPS
HATE AND THAT IS NOT A SLUR BUT I COULD SAY YOU ARE ACTING LIKE
A REAL TRUMP AND THAT IS A SLUR.

The real reason American health care is so expensive - Duration: 5:42.
I cannot tell you how obsessed I am with this chart.
It shows exactly what is wrong with America's
conversation about health care.
On one level, you've seen this chart before.
It shows health care spending as a share
of the economy of a bunch of countries.
There's Germany and France and Japan and Canada
and oh! There's America.
But now I want to add something you haven't
seen to this chart.
This is how much of that spending in each country
is private and how much is public.
Here's what's amazing:
America's government spending on health care
on programs like Medicaid and Medicare and the VA -
our versions of socialized medicine.
It's about the same size as these other countries.
These countries where the government runs
the whole health care system!
And then there's our private spending.
It's the private insurance system that makes
health care in America so expensive.
Conventional wisdom says that the government is
more expensive than the private sector.
"It can't say no. It's corrupt, it's inefficient, it's slow."
"If you want something done right
you give it to the private sector."
That is what we hear in America all the time.
And yet here we are with the biggest private sector spending the most.
If you look at the data on physician visits
and hospital discharges, you can get rid of one theory.
Americans don't consume more health care
than people in these other countries.
We don't go to the doctor more than the Germans
or the Japanese. In fact we go to the doctor less.
The difference between us and them
is that we pay more.
Every time we go to the doctor for everything
from an angioplasty to a hip replacement
from a c-section
to a pain reliever.
In America, the price for the same procedure
at the same hospital, it varies enormously
depending on who is footing the bill.
The price for someone with public insurance
like Medicare or Medicaid is often the lowest price.
These groups he covers so many people
that the government can demand lower prices from hospitals and doctors
and they get those lower prices.
If the doctors and hospitals say 'No'
they lose a ton of business.
They lose all those people on Medicare
all those people on Medicaid.
But there are hundreds of private insurance companies
And they each cover far fewer people than
a Medicare or a Medicaid.
And each one has to negotiate prices
and hospitals and doctors are on their own.
And if you're uninsured, you have even less leverage.
Nobody is negotiating on your behalf.
So you end up paying the highest price.
One study found that most hospitals charge uninsured
patients four times
as much as Medicare patients for an ER visit.
Other countries, they don't have this problem.
Instead of every private insurance company
negotiating with every healthcare provider.
There's just this big list.
The country, the central government, they go
and they say, "If you want to sell to us, to all
of our people, then here's what you can charge
for a checkup. Here is what you can charge for an MRI
or a prescription for Lipitor.
And so then whether that bill goes to the
heavily regulated private insurance
companies in Germany or directly to the government
like in the UK.
Each country is telling the doctor or hospital
or drug company how much that bill will be.
And because the government controls access
to all of the customers. It's an offer that hospitals
and doctors and pharmaceutical companies
typically can't refuse.
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
In America the idea is that you'll be a consumer.
That you'll do what you do when you go to Best Buy and buy a television.
But that just doesn't work in healthcare.
It doesn't work in healthcare because
you often come and get health care when you're
unconscious, in an ambulance,
when you're scared,
when it's for your spouse or your child
It is a time when you have the least bargaining power.
You are not usually capable of saying, 'No.'
You're not knowledgeable enough to do it,
you're not comfortable doing it,
or you're not conscious enough to do it.
That's why in other countries the government is a
person who can say 'No' for you.
You can say, 'No, that's too expensive
you're going to have to lower your price'
because they do have that power.
Anchor: A new push for single-payer health care
right here in the US.
Demonstrator: What do we want?
Crowd: Single-payer!
Demonstrator: When do we want it?
Crowd: Now!
Anchor: California and others are saying maybe
we should adopt the European model.
Klein: If we decided to create a single-payer system
with one of these huge price lists in the US
There would be nothing to stop
lobbying from hospitals from doctors from
drug companies. And those prices would get influenced.
So we could end up with a single-payer system
that is expensive. Even as expensive as
our current system.
It all depends on how much you negotiate down
the prices and now in America
these groups have so much power because they are so rich.
That it's really hard to get them to bring down the prices.
This is the irony of American healthcare:
It's so expensive that it's become hard to make it cheaper.
All that money they make, that becomes political power.
And years and years and years of overpaying -
those are huge industries now.
And they have a lot of influence in Congress.
Under a single-payer system
if we did drive prices down, doctors and hospitals
they would be paid less than they are right now.
That might mean some of them close
or some go out of business or some move.
It would be really painful. One person's waste
is another person's essential service or local hospital
or their income. But then single-payer
it's not an all-or-nothing choice.
For instance, there's a really interesting section
of Bernie Sanders Medicare-for-all bill.
Where he lays out this interim plan.
It's a plan he wants while he's setting up
his new single-payer system.
And in that plan, he expands Medicare
to cover vision and dental.
And he opens it to nearly everyone.
Not just people 65 and older.
All kids go on Medicare automatically
and most adults can buy in.
That plan, on its own, it wouldn't get American
health care spending far down overnight.
But it would at least begin to recognize
what we already know
and what most other countries already do:
That health care is one of those things the government
can do cheaper and better than the private sector.

Is Bangkok Safe? - Duration: 6:36.
Alrighty then!
Welcome to the thirteenth video of Bangkok Unmasked!
The YouTube channel that helps you get the most out of your visit to Bangkok city!
If you're new here, please consider subscribing!
In this video I'm going to try and answer a couple of questions that I have been asked
many times over the years; 'Is Bangkok safe?' and 'Is Bangkok safe to travel alone?'
Let's get started!
So is Bangkok safe in 2017...?
The short answer is that, generally speaking, Bangkok is a pretty safe place for those wishing
to conduct business or take part in tourism.
For what it's worth, I feel safer in Bangkok, especially late at night, than I do in London.
What follows are some general thoughts on what I have both learned, and experienced,
over the past 18 years in Bangkok.
Most criminal activity is generally 'non-confrontational' street crimes, and crimes of opportunity,
including; purse snatching (especially drive-by snatching from motorcycles), pick-pocketing,
petty theft, jewelry schemes, and tourism fraud.
Many foreigners have had passports, wallets, and other valuables stolen in Bangkok's Chatuchak
Weekend Market, on Khao San Road, and at other crowded areas.
Pickpockets and thieves typically cut into purses or bags with a razor, and remove items
surreptitiously.
It's extremely common for foreigners to be robbed of their valuables, especially money,
credit cards and jewelry, after soliciting the services of commercial sex workers.
If you take a girl, or boy, back to your hotel, it's sensible to put everything of value in
the in-room safe!
Most decent hotels have these.
Credit card fraud and identity theft occur regularly in Bangkok.
There have been a number of well-publicized cases over the past few years where international
criminal organizations based in Malaysia, Ukraine, and Russia have installed sophisticated
'skimming devices' to steal card holder information from Bangkok ATMs.
This information was then used to withdraw money from victim accounts.
Violent crimes like; murder, rape, assault against foreigners are relatively rare.
Those that do occur typically happen at night, usually when victims have been drinking.
There have been a number of reports where scopolamine, also known as 'Devil's Breath',
or other 'date rape' drugs have been used to spike foreigner's drinks, and then they
have usually been robbed.
In some rare cases they have also been raped.
Road safety should absolutely be the biggest concern regarding safety in Bangkok.
Accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles are extremely common.
Serious car accidents occur frequently, sometimes resulting in fatalities.
Motorcycles tend to weave in/out of traffic, and the skill and proficiency of most Thai
drivers is poor.
Some spectacularly so.
As a result, motorcycle-related deaths in Bangkok are a daily occurrence.
The accident rate is particularly high during long holidays when alcohol use and traffic
are heavier than normal.
During the annual Songkran [Thai New Year] holiday in April, the problem is further exacerbated
by people throwing water at passing vehicles as part of the traditional celebration.
As a pedestrian, I would strongly advise all Bangkok visitors to use elevated walkways/pedestrian
bridges whenever possible, especially in metropolitan Bangkok.
You must also look carefully in both directions before crossing streets, even when using a
marked crosswalk.
Trust me, motorcycles especially, often drive the wrong way down busy streets, so it's easy
to get run-down by them if you don't look both ways before crossing!
For what it's worth, Bangkok Unmasked would strongly advise you not to use motorcycle
taxis and tuk-tuks in Bangkok.
Both are inherently unsafe!
Tuk-tuks might look safer, but I have lost count of the number of times that I have seen
tuk-tuks lying on their side after the driver took a corner at speed!
Regarding taxis, do not hesitate to ask to be let out of a taxi if the driver is acting
suspiciously or driving erratically.
Raising one's voice and using aggressive body language could be seen as a threat to
the driver.
Police will seldom intervene in incidents involving taxi drivers.
It goes without saying, but don't get involved in domestic political confrontations.
This is not a topic that Bangkok Unmasked will get into, but suffice to say during the
street protests of 2010 the Thai army used live ammunition on protesters, and one Italian
journalist, Fabio Polenghi, and one Japanese cameraman, Hiroyuki Muramoto, were killed.
Another obvious point of safety, don't use or sell drugs!
Thailand strictly enforces drug laws and penalties for the possession, use, or trafficking in
illicit drugs.
Thailand's enforcement efforts include the death penalty for drug smuggling.
Convicted offenders can expect long prison sentences under harsh conditions and often
heavy fines.
Thai police frequently raid Bangkok discos, bars, or nightclubs looking for underage patrons
and drug users.
During the raids, they typically check the IDs of all customers and sometimes make each
person provide a urine sample to be checked for narcotics.
Foreigners are not immune from these checks, and anyone whose urine tests positive for
illicit drugs will be arrested and charged accordingly.
If you want to get an idea of exactly how foreigners come to grief in Bangkok and Thailand,
check out; farang-deaths.com.
This website is a non-commercial project dedicated to documenting all cases of death of foreign
nationals in Thailand.
You'll see that road traffic accidents comprise the majority of deaths.
Suicides are also relatively common, and my guess is that for older gentlemen, alcohol
and Viagra used in conjunction with 'ladies of negotiable affection' play a major part
in deaths of the 50+ age group.
Anyway...That's it for this video.
I hope that it will help answer the two questions; 'Is Bangkok safe?' and 'Is Bangkok safe to
travel alone?'
Expect a new video shortly. It should be posted in about a week, or so.
For all you techies out there, this video was shot on a Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus, and
edited using HitFilm Express.

The best CGI and VR is invisible - Duration: 1:37.
When we're shopping around we naturally want to know what is the best that money
can buy, so that we know how close to best we can get for the money that's in
our wallet. The reason that I say CGI and Virtual Reality are the best when they are
invisible is because your design is the star of the show. Virtual Reality and CGI
are sideshows. So the main deal here is the approach towards getting your design
to really shine through in whatever medium it is. Here we're talking about
CGI because your design hasn't yet been made so that you can photograph it.
We don't notice that we're looking at a photograph, we recognize a good
photograph when it's taken. Which is why we pay people to do it the experience
and professionalism that goes into a great photograph is just like CGI.
That is, the focus is literally about the subject matter not the medium. We can
all appreciate great CGI or great photography but ultimately it is what is
in those photographs or in those CGI images or video fly throughs that matters.
And it really affects the process and the communication between
getting the people who create your content and make your design come to
life and yourselves. So that two-way path is is governed by the approach of what
is really important here. So we've established that your design is the star of the show.
