big quo is beyond Bitcoin of course we're talking about more than just
Bitcoin but I quickly wanted to say that last night when I was out with some
friends and stuff and not all of them were in the Bitcoin or anything we're
talking about Bitcoin in public it's getting on fire it's great and it's just
this great feeling that you know you've got some intelligent friends asking you
the hard questions and it's just and it shows you that it's there's a lot of
room to grow here and that people are interested with there's a positive
energy flowing around it so you always when you're you're out there with your
friends you know nothing about Bitcoin bring it up talk about it with them you
never know maybe they're going to be the biggest fans in the world maybe they're
gonna talk uh you know what would happens well the power grid goes down
their site whatever the case is it's a good experiment and you know where
you're a Bitcoin shirts like this one that I'm wearing right here run BTC and
you people stare at and start conversations you never know what's
gonna happen and all you 20 percenters out there you know you've got your your
different subject matters your different takes on things and you I do too and I
say some pretty wild things according to the mainstream here but you bring that
kind of stuff up with your friends you know see the reactions that you get
bring the bring your topics up in public and sure you're gonna get some bad
feedback for some of the things you say but you're just stronger afterwards man
you know P you know that dude I'm not them outside the mainstream with what I
believe in here and I am stronger than ever that I can just keep poppin ahead
with this darn thing I don't give a darn with the people with the people say
around me and everything I want to keep on saying it I'm gonna keep on stronger
and you just hey there's more and more conviction it's it's it's it's a good
practice it's strong with you at what you believe in but you gotta believe in
something here okay you thrive off of that energy that
you get in in debate and talks and everything so let's talk about
intermittent fasting real quick a lot of you guys ask me but what is this
intermittent fasting thing you do Adam what is what is it all about well real
simple I every twenty two hours every single day I don't eat for so every
night one meal a day and then you know usually takes about an hour and
I eat the normal amount of calories than anyone else he's our I probably I eat
more obviously because I'm very active but then I don't eat again for at least
22 hours afterwards and that that is pretty hardcore intermittent fasting
some people like they they'll have an eight hour period where they eat and
then they don't eat for 16 hours but I have a basically a one-hour period where
I eat and I don't eat for at least 22 hours and sometimes it's 23 24 even even
more than that and I've been doing that since every single day since I guess
August of 2013 it started out 20 hours but then it became 22 hours and you know
that's it's a little some people say that you start to get effects around 16
hours or because your body it burns through everything that's in you
basically and by the way when I'm doing my intermittent fasting I run I do every
single thing that I would do if I didn't do intermittent fasting and you've seen
me on here many times in a fasted state and I had you see my energy level and
nothing changes that people say you're killing yourself or what I know it's
it's very normal you still have them same amount of calories you're not
working your digestive system all the time now what are the results whether
you're gonna have to wait and see what the well first of all you do feel
healthy you have your energy you're not sickly I mean but you can say
well it might be caused by something else that's true what this is supposed
to do is it is supposed to prolong your life you're not gonna find that out for
until very long time from now though if you live younger than you if you're a
guy and you live longer than your younger brother then yeah it probably
worked out for you but you got to have long-term thinking and I guess you gotta
have a little faith in the system too that this this is a good thing for you
and it's a good pattern to get into because you only you don't have to worry
about eating all day you just do it all at once and you know you're not spiking
your blood constantly though and that's a struggle your blood sugar level I mean
look it up Google intermittent fasting you'll see all the benefits but I take
it too I mean I take a lot of things too
extreme twice you can't do 22 hours right away maybe you can I don't know to
do whatever we want to do but I think another thing it takes me away from
doing I basically if you do something like that you're not
gonna be able to you know eat out with friends and all that stuff but that's
what you shouldn't be doing that's a great eating out is so incredibly on
health you have no idea what's going in that food it's a lazy man's way of doing
things you're wasting a lot of your money on this on it's junk I mean half
the stuff out there is complete junk when you when you really know what
you're putting in your mouth you take total personal response to be a
responsibility over it okay remember personal responses responsibility is a
new counterculture pound that freaking like button but yeah so you know what
you're putting in your mouth and you know if you're getting yourself sick you
you you're gonna have to say well no I put all those skittles in my mouth so
it's my complete fault I you know don't put skittles in your mouth people don't
put McDonald's into your mouth don't put you know this fried in the worst type of
oils canola oil stuff into your mouth and so and and again they they're
probably healthy restaurants out there I don't know you really don't know what
they're putting into it they can say it's totally organic and then what are
they frying the stuff up with so again you know no cook your own food and we're
gonna actually get into that in a second so that was a little bit of intermittent
fasting up there Oh real quick people ask about you know brush my teeth
I do have a tooth teeth brushing regime too
you know first thing in the morning I do a really quick clean to the teeth with
an electric toothbrush maybe like 30 seconds and then I put some water in my
mouth and swish it around um some people do it with coconut oil and stuff I don't
I don't think that that's called oil pulling
I just swish water around my mouth early in the morning after I first brush my
teeth I spit the scrub stuff out of my mouth you scrape your tongue just get
all that this stuff that's built out during the the whole the night then
about an hour to later then you do your real brushing the teeth for about one
and a half minutes with I brush my teeth with baking soda again with an electric
toothbrush you know and you don't want to do it for more than two minutes
that's not good on your teeth and then you go back your day and you drink your
water and everything by the way intermittent fasting you you can drink
water that's that's totally fine I think I have my meal after you've had your me
or your last meal at Davis most of you have more than one meal a day after
you've had your last meal the day wait an hour before you brush your teeth
okay wait at least an hour and then but it between an hour and two hours after
you've eaten brush your teeth hey guys guys guys I'm live I'm life and yeah my
buddies are here I've got I'm with some college guys and starts here today it's
a big Wash U event big Wash U event here this is a special weekend here with with
the guys anyways so yeah Cho's so then you brush your teeth and again and
that's it that's what you do for about two minutes now you don't want to do it
right away because it can you might have some acidity in your mouth still at less
than thirty minutes after you eat you might hurt your enamel but you don't
wanna wait too long more than two hours because eventually I think around two
hours he starts it can start messing with your teeth with it whatever you've
eaten especially if there's fruit at the end or something like that
so between you know an hour after you've eaten and two hours after you've eaten
brush your teeth and floss of course floss after you've eaten and
that's your last meal of the day all right so something else to remember
out there we put doctors on a pedestal and doctors are not king of kings of the
world they have so many bad doctors out there people who do not blindly follow
your doctor's you're gonna have to take personal responsibility again learn
about your own health okay learn about you know do your own
internet research learn you know try to figure out what is wrong with you how
you can take care of it naturally naturally because many doctors are
horrible and they're going to give you unnatural solutions that are gonna make
you sicker many of them are just into prescribing drugs that's not a doctor
that's not someone that's trying to figure out your problem and you change
something naturally that's just an easy fix the life is not about easy easy
fixes anyway another subject matter we've talked about here again this is
the beyond Bitcoin show so we're totally off the Bitcoin subject right now but
hey you can tell that by the title of the show I hope if you're a 20% or
you're paying attention you go by the title and then then you know what the
subject matter is going to be but I've talked about how
we'll have this fear of being alone and being different and that you cannot have
that fear of being alone that being alone and being different is great and
if you have that fear it clouds your brain and impairs your long-term
thinking you keep coming up with short-term solutions that fail and just
delay you and getting to what your real goals are in love in life so you you've
got to not just don't fear do not fear being alone do not fear being different
do not fear being ostracized by the popular people because you're going to
come up with these solutions that fit in that are just short term you're never
going to be satisfied and it's going to keep on delaying delaying delaying if
you're a real long-term thinker you're going to stick with what you believe in
you're gonna fight the crowd and you're gonna be satisfied you're gonna stand
for something all right um again I have a lot of energy even you
know when I'm having a lot of energy right now I just I just finished a 44
hour fast that's a little bit different than intermittent fast and we'll talk
about that and another time but with with my with all my inner min fasting
and my healthy eating and my interval training people are always saying to me
why are especially on the internet you're like you've got so much energy
you have to be drunk you have to be on drugs again I do no drugs I haven't had
a drink since 2014 actually I believe and it's it's kind of like an 80%
mentality where people are like their default is where you're drunk you're on
drugs people have to get out of that mentality
you got to think like hey man maybe this guy's doing something right here and
maybe he's doing something I should be doing that's a high energy level is a
positive thing you shouldn't try to paint it in a negative light that it's
something unnatural you too can have a lot of energy from being healthy you can
be happy from being healthy I think in today's society a lot of people think
they're going to only be happy and energetic if they take drugs if they you
know a magic pill is going to solve everything it's not it's it's hard work
and just dedication to being healthy and you know it doesn't for me it's it's
pretty easy you get in a path doing healthy things if you feel better
and it's great and you just become more and more of a positive person and you
spread the energy and it's you're in motion as as we say on here here's a
little tip for people out there eat once you're in shape once you're in shape and
you're an adult and you're a guy and you're not trying to impress the whole
world this why didn't even buy new clothes I mean your clothes should stay
the same try what what are you in the design or clothes what's the booster
heck puts up with his designer clothes and stuff buy if your stuff wears out
and then buy some new clothes or whatever it's a great noble because a
lot of people how do you save money or social there's something yeah I don't
know last time I bought any clothing or of course I get all these free t-shirts
in the mail but I have no I have no problem with wearing these t-shirts
because well they're talking about my favorite subject Bitcoin pound that
frickin like button you know I'm going did you hear what that dude said say it
again and yeah their pound that like button
fans there and tonight they're gonna be at a pretty classy event where they're
gonna be some classy ladies or they let ladies who used to be classy at least or
thought they were classy and I am going to be wearing these Bitcoin t-shirts at
a classy somewhat classy event dude like you got to do what you got to do I
didn't need the buy new clothes for this event that I'm going to today no way I'm
pumping off the beat the Bitcoin if they want to talk about they can talk about
so again what I'm saying I'm going off a little tangent you don't need new new
clothes if you're in shape and not gain weight and everything so that's another
good reason again shape people all right and another way to save money so you can
get more bitcoin all right so oh this is the this is one I love to talk about
love to talk about I I cook every single meal that I freakin eat there and I'm
not saying it all you should do that but at least some of you dudes out there
that are complaining about how you have no money learn how to cook you are the
best cook out there for yourself I can tell you that we're brainwashed into
thinking that our wives or our mothers or our grandmothers say some woman in
our life our sister is the greatest cook in the world
no no you you can do it you can do be a better cook than your grandmother
because you you know what you like I mean you once your cook in there right
there on the oven if you're tasting it you get that you get a hang of things
real quick so you as I know there's a lot of guy it's Washington job it's a
very it's just a very important skill to have to be able to cook it's just you
know it's not something you learn going to Washington University or anything
like that you're going to some great uh some so-called high-class great top 20
college they don't teach you how to cook but this is a real skill that's gonna
help you out in life it's gonna help you save money it's not that hard to learn
once you get the hang it but you really love it yeah you have a blast with it
and you again taking personal responsibility of what you're putting in
your mouth and how are you gonna get healthy so your first step here people
is at least try to cook one meal every one meal a week one meal start with one
and then build up in there it's good practice you're gonna build up from
there and I assure you that most of you out there are gonna are gonna really
enjoy and you're gonna see how much it benefits you and you're gonna lose
weight too probably and just because become a healthy all right so again and
when you're cooking in New York dude you don't need all he don't try to
you know use the natural food it's something don't need to catch up and
additives and all this other sugar completely ridiculous way my mind you're
adding it it should taste good on its own there's no reason to add all this
nonsense poison to it that you're used to be so-called great cooks adding to it
the world it should be good on its own so this is going to take some
persistence and some conviction but eventually I'd like with all goals like
its persistence and conviction okay so so stick with it the experiment with the
cooking of the food it's something I do I cook every single one of my meals i I
haven't gone out that well lights up no rarely have I been in a restaurant in
the last uh since 2014 it's the 2013 I don't know just even before that who
knows but look like one time since then I've been in restaurant one or two times
I don't know any and once I and when I was in Korea
let me tell my curve my unnamed Korean fan he took me to a Korean birthday not
that was freaking awesome that would that was a very high-class thing that
was all healthy through I had their greatest fish
they're how you go over like $100 buffet or whatever it was ridiculous not thank
you so much my unnamed Korean friend in Korea I mean I'm still learning stuff
from that experience that was that was one of the greatest epic point
experiences those of you uh check out the links below to see the archives and
you'll see when I was in Korea in December uh
telling you guys what was really good going on in terms of Bitcoin there
alright so sprint interval training I mentioned that last week and one thing
that I forgot to say is that I do that once a week or maybe I didn't forget to
say but I just want to remind you and that if you do the sprint interval
training you know I mean I do like 13 sprints you're supposed to do eight
you'll know when you've done enough Sprint's because you can't do them
anymore you're just dead alright and also on my sprint day another thing I do
on my once a week sprint day that is the day I have took the least possible carbs
of any sort like I had basically a few greens and like one apple or two oranges
or something like that now for you guys your sprint day should be a day that you
just practice that you're get rid of maybe that's the day you get rid of all
your processed carbs and stuff okay but you're gonna have to get rid of all the
processed carbs eventually I mean it's nonsense no fruit is great now now going
in like eating nothing but fruit for a week you're gonna gain weight dude you
just are you know it's healthy up to a point but that's that's ridiculous and
there's supposing there's some fruitarians out there but a go wild uh
when I say things like that but trust me you know the the healthy fats are so
good for you so on your sprint days that those are the days you want to start
practicing your low your low carb and I think a goal for everyone out there on
the way to low carb and no process card is starting it out with no bread just
drop bread that's your first step right there that's your your first step to
getting rid of processed food how about that for a goal and then no soda is your
first step in getting rid of added sugar so there there's are some some health
pics there we got a little bit left here get good sleep a lot of people forget
about that eight hours to sleep at night and I'm not perfect with that especially
when I'm traveling around from city to city you know sleeping on the
plain isn't as the same as obviously slipping them on the bed for eight hours
for eight hours straight so finally found that like button and of course
personal responsibility beats short term happiness hits you know there's so many
people they're just you know they're gonna do irresponsible things just to
get that happiness hit just to get that happiness hit you know when you're
responsible for yourself when you're doing productive things in the long run
and it is it's much more rewarding if you have purpose and you have meaning in
your life just repeat that to yourself you know is this do I purpose in my life
do I have a real meaning in my life so again that I'm adam meister the
bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister remember subscribe this channel like
this view shows whether you check out the notes section below

Trey Gowdy Drops the Hammer on James Comey with Brutal Claim — 'I Can't Think of Anyone…' - Duration: 3:01.
Trey Gowdy Drops the Hammer on James Comey with Brutal Claim — 'I Can't Think of
Anyone…'
Trey Gowdy, we're going to miss you.
The fiery South Carolina congressman may have recently announced that he will not be seeking
reelection, but he reminded conservatives of exactly why he became popular during a
recent appearance on "Fox & Friends."
Former FBI Director James Comey was the topic of the day, and Congressman Gowdy wasted no
time in tearing into the disgraced director for his politically-charged book.
Comey's memoir is titled "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," but based
on excerpts it seems to be largely a hit piece against President Trump in retaliation for
being fired.
"I think it's sad," Trey Gowdy said about Comey and his book.
"One of the things Director Comey and I did agree on is we need an apolitical FBI."
Gowdy criticized Comey for adding more petty politicization to the FBI by releasing his
book."I can't think of anyone who's done a better job of politicizing the FBI
than he has in the last 36 to 48 hours, by talking about tanning bed goggles and the
length of a tie," the congressman declared.
That wasn't a joke.
According to excerpts of James Comey's book obtained by TheBlaze, the former FBI director
seemed eager to take cheap shots at President Trump."(Trump's) face appeared slightly
orange, with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning
goggles, and impressively coiffed, bright blond hair, which upon close inspection looked
to be all his," Comey wrote in one passage of his book.
"I remember wondering, how long it must take him in the morning to get that done,"
the disgraced former director wrote.
In another section, he admitted to smugly comparing hand sizes to Trump and being satisfied
to find that his own were larger.
"That is beneath the dignity of the offices that he held," Trey Gowdy told Fox.
Gowdy pointed out that he actually defended Comey back in 2016, when it was Democrats
who were criticizing the FBI, but that everything has changed.
"I'm really disappointed… the writing of the book in general, and then some of the
things he's talking about are just frankly beneath the dignity of some really important
offices he once held," Gowdy said.
It looks like the same petty attitudes which drove figures like James Comey and Andrew
McCabe to act as leakers in order to undermine Donald Trump are still driving their actions
today.
Comey could have taken the high road, accept that it was time to part ways with the FBI,
and move forward with his life.
Instead, he's decided to continue slinging mud in the form of a hit piece memoir… and
that spiteful action confirms why he had to be let go in the first place.
what do you think about this?

Here's Paul Ryan's Plan to Stab Americans in the Back Before He Leaves Office - Duration: 3:31.
Here's Paul Ryan's Plan to Stab Americans in the Back Before He Leaves Office
Outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan isn't leaving office quietly.
The globalist lawmaker from Wisconsin announced his retirement recently, after the successful
passage of President Trump's wildly popular tax reforms, but he's not done yet.
Ryan has a plan to stab Americans in the back before he leaves.
How so?
Well, by pushing DACA amnesty, of course.
From Breitbart
House Speaker Paul Ryan will push his open borders agenda during his last months in Congress,
telling the media that he is interested in passing an amnesty for millions of illegal
aliens who are enrolled and eligible for the President Obama-created Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Ryan announced this week that he will leave Congress after his current term is up, but
now he says he will continue pushing for a DACA amnesty despite his exit.
In a comment to Fox News's Chad Pergram, Ryan said he would "certainly" be interested
in passing a DACA amnesty before his term ends.
For months, White House staffers like Marc Short — the former executive for the pro-mass
immigration, anti-Trump Koch brothers — attempted to push a DACA amnesty inside President Trump's
administration.
Ryan, likewise, said two months ago that his main focus after passing a budget to keep
the federal government open was to pass an amnesty for DACA illegal aliens, of which
between 800,000 to 3.5 million would be allowed to permanently stay in the U.S.
"We will bring a DACA solution to the floor," Ryan said in February.
Ryan's decision to continue pushing a DACA amnesty, even though he plans to exit Congress
next year, is one of his many last-ditch efforts to move forward an unpopular Koch Brothers-approved
agenda centered around tax reform, cuts to entitlements, free trade, and mass immigration.
While a DACA amnesty would reward illegal aliens enrolled in the program with a potential
pathway to U.S. citizenship, it would come with tremendous costs for American citizens.
For example, a DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known
as "anchor babies" — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American
taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Additionally, about one in five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on
food stamps, while at least one in seven would go on Medicaid.
Any plan to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens that does not also include provisions to halve
legal immigration levels — the U.S. admits more than one million legal immigrants a year
at the expense of America's working and middle class — would give amnestied illegal
aliens the opportunity to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
At the southern border, a DACA amnesty has the potential to trigger a border surge that
could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring through the border.
Since DACA's inception, more than 2,100 recipients of the program have been kicked
off because they were found to either be criminals or gang members.

Explosive IG Report Shows Obama DOJ Sought to STOP Clinton Foundation Probe - Duration: 6:56.
Explosive IG Report Shows Obama DOJ Sought to STOP Clinton Foundation Probe
The explosive new IG report has exposed another layer of scandal and corruption within the
Obama administration.
Now, we're learning that Obama's DOJ sought to SHUT DOWN the FBI's Clinton Foundation
probe.
From New York Times
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department inspector general delivered to Congress on Friday a
scathing report that accused Andrew G. McCabe, the former F.B.I. deputy director, of violating
the federal law enforcement agency's media policy and then repeatedly misleading investigators
about his actions.
The inspector general found that Mr. McCabe, 50, had lacked candor on four occasions when
questioned by investigators and faulted his decision to authorize the disclosure of information
to a reporter with The Wall Street Journal in October 2016 as self-serving.
In a point-by-point rebuttal of the report, Mr. McCabe said that he had full authorization
to share this information with the news media as deputy director and that he did not intentionally
mislead investigators.
He also argued that his decision to release information about an investigation into the
financial dealings of the Clinton Foundation was justified and in the public's interest.
Mr. McCabe, a 21-year F.B.I. veteran, was fired in March after Attorney General Jeff
Sessions rejected an appeal that would have let him retire with a full government pension.
At the time, Mr. Sessions said that Mr. McCabe had repeatedly shown a lack of candor under
oath.
Mr. McCabe disputed that, saying his firing was meant to undermine the special counsel
investigation being led by Robert S. Mueller III, and to discredit him as a witness.
The report's release, which had been anticipated for months, comes at a time when the F.B.I.
and the Justice Department are under intense scrutiny by Republicans on Capitol Hill and
by President Trump for their continuing investigation of possible links between the Trump campaign
and Russia.
Mr. Trump, who considers the Russia investigation a "witch hunt," has fumed in recent days
after an F.B.I. raid of his personal lawyer's office and hotel room in New York.The inspector
general's report also provides the president and his allies with a convenient counterpoint
to a new memoir by James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director Mr. Trump fired last May.
The book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership," is scheduled to be released
on Tuesday, but details began to trickle out Thursday night, including pointed criticisms
of Mr. Trump.
On Friday afternoon, Mr. Trump, who has sought to tarnish the reputation of his investigators,
pounced on the report on Mr. McCabe, calling it a "total disaster."
"He LIED!
LIED!
LIED!
McCabe was totally controlled by Comey – McCabe is Comey!!
No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!" he wrote on Twitter.
Michael R. Bromwich, a lawyer for Mr. McCabe, replied to the president's tweet, writing
in one of his own that his client was considering filing a defamation suit.
"Stay tuned," he wrote.
The inspector general report was unsparing in its assessment of Mr. McCabe.
The review accused Mr. McCabe of lacking candor when he spoke to Mr. Comey shortly after the
October 2016 article was published, when he spoke with F.B.I. investigators and then in
two conversations with investigators for the inspector general.
Lack of candor, or knowingly providing false information, is a fireable offense at the
F.B.I.
The inspector general said that when investigators asked whether Mr. McCabe had instructed a
pair of aides to provide information in October 2016 to Devlin Barrett, then a Wall Street
Journal reporter, Mr. McCabe said he did not authorize the disclosure and did not know
who did.
Mr. McCabe subsequently said he approved the F.B.I.'s contact with the reporter, according
to the review.
The newspaper article delved into a dispute between F.B.I. and Justice Department officials
over how to proceed in the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
It revealed a meeting during which Justice Department officials declined to authorize
subpoenas or grand jury activity.
The article said that some F.B.I. agents thought that Mr. McCabe had slowed the investigation.
But The Journal, citing anonymous sources including "one person close to Mr. McCabe,"
detailed a tense conversation with a senior Justice Department official in which Mr. McCabe
insisted that the F.B.I. had the authority to press ahead with the investigation.
The inspector general concluded that that engagement initiated by Mr. McCabe had not
been justified under the media policy of the F.B.I. and Justice Department and constituted
misconduct.
Specifically, the report said, providing an anonymous quote about the content of a conversation
between Mr. McCabe and another department official "served only to advance McCabe's
personal interests and not the public interest, as required by F.B.I. policy."
Mr. McCabe disputed that conclusion, saying that he took the steps he did to protect the
F.B.I.'s reputation.
In his interactions with investigators, he said that he had not intended to mislead and
in one case reached back out to the inspector general's office to correct earlier comments.
The inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, is expected to release a larger report in
the coming weeks about the F.B.I.'s actions during the 2016 election.
The report on Friday generated split reaction on Capitol Hill.
Top Republicans said that it clearly justified Mr. McCabe's firing, and highlighted the
importance of truthfulness in federal law enforcement.
Democrats, while not disputing that point, warned that the report should not be connected
to the Russia investigation.
Earlier on Friday, Christopher A. Wray, the director of the F.B.I., formally elevated
David L. Bowdich, the bureau's third in command, to succeed Mr. McCabe as deputy director.
Mr. Bowdich, the former top agent in the Los Angeles Field Office, has been the acting
deputy director since January.

Trump Admin Just HIT the Oakland Mayor Where it HURTS - Duration: 2:48.
Trump Admin Just HIT the Oakland Mayor Where it HURTS
And he's taking her down.
The DOJ is DEMANDING the anti-American mayor provide PROOF that her city is complying with
federal immigration laws, and if not, federal grants could be pulled.
From Western JournalThe Department of Justice on Friday sent a letter to Oakland Mayor Libby
Schaaf asking for proof the city is complying with a key immigration statute and warning
failure to do so could put the city's future federal grants at risk.
DOJ Bureau of Justice Assistance Director John Adler's letter asks Oakland's legal
counsel to draft an opinion outlining how city policies fall in line with 8 USC 1373,
a section of federal law prohibiting jurisdictions from enacting laws restricting communication
between local officials and federal immigration authorities.
DOJ has reason to believe some of Oakland's municipal guidelines violate Section 1373,
according to the letter.
It refers specifically to an Oakland Police Department policy: "Officers shall not share
non-public information about an individual's address, upcoming court date, or release date
with [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection].
Officers shall respond to an ICE or CBP request for non-public information only when a judicial
warrant accompanies the request."That rule appears to restrict "the sending of information
regarding immigration status," a violation of Section 1373, according to the DOJ.
Oakland has until May 14 to respond with an opinion showing otherwise.
Among California's large cities, Oakland has been under particular scrutiny from President
Donald Trump's administration since February, when Schaaf tweeted out a warning of an impeding
immigration sweep in the San Francisco Bay area.
Trump denounced Schaaf for tipping off potential targets of the operation.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions' department would look at possible obstruction of justice
charges against the mayor, the attorney general said.Under Sessions, the DOJ has tried to
pressure sanctuary cities by threatening to withhold certain federal funds, as part of
the Trump administration's broader crackdown on illegal immigration.

Rosie O'Donnell Sinks To New Low And Viciously Mocks Sarah Huckabee Sanders: 'Lying Sack Of S***' - Duration: 5:46.
Rosie O'Donnell Sinks To New Low And Viciously Mocks Sarah Huckabee Sanders: 'Lying Sack
Of S***'
Hollywood entertainer Rosie O'Donnell is known for her long-standing feud with President
Trump but also for her liberal views.
However, instead of attacking President Trump this time around she has decided to attack
his Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
And it does not look pretty.
On Friday, O'Donnell took to social media to post an unattractive and unflattering picture
she created of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
If you follow O'Donnell on her Twitter page you will notice an array of colorful yet negative
pictures of President Trump.
All of which insinuate a clear hatred and disdain for the man that is our President.
When being interviewed by the Daily Beast regarding why she chooses to paint these pictures
and share them on social media she said,
"I'm doing it for my OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder] and my anxiety, because I feel so
powerless and helpless.
I'm not trying to raise money specifically.
I'm trying to, like, get it out of me.
It's not like I set out with 'I'm gonna ruin him by making $100,000!'
I didn't think that…I can't help what comes out of me.
I don't sit there at home and think, 'How can I get that bastard?
Let me paint his picture!'
My anxiety takes over."
She has opened up her own Etsy shop to sell these paintings for profit.
O'Donnell names anything from "Lunatic Trump", to, "the Moron", to "Criminal."
While the original acrylics are not for sail the digital images she created on her own
iPad Pro are.
They range from $100-$300 for any given one.
Most sell very quickly, with the originals going within just three hours.
The profits she says go to candidates and causes that are anti-Trump.
Bustle reported,
"O'Donnell indicated on Etsy that the first batch of her prints made $1,200, and
pledged to send a check for $2,500 to anti-gun violence organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
Other organizations to which O'Donnell has pledged to send the proceeds from her prints
include Planned Parenthood, gun control groups resisting the NRA, and LGBTQ organizations
— in other words, "501-C3's that [Trump] hates."
Although O'Donnell has been vocal in her opposition to the Trump administration, she
told The Daily Beast that she initially started making these portraits as a coping mechanism
for her OCD and anxiety — and not as a way to make money.
Nonetheless, O'Donnell has been relentless in her criticism of Trump, both online and
off, and this criticism predates his presidency by a decade.
In 2006, when O'Donnell was a co-host of The View, Trump threatened to sue her after
she criticized him on-air.
At the time, O'Donnell described Trump as a "snake-oil salesman on Little House on
the Prairie," denounced his extramarital affairs, and went so far as to suggest that
he was bankrupt.
In the years since then, Trump has described O'Donnell as "a true loser," "crude,"
"obnoxious," "dumb," and "rude," and has leveled a number of other insults
against her.
O'Donnell, meanwhile, protested Trump outside the White House last February, and has accused
the president of "treason."
She has also accused Trump of being a "child rapist," tweeted a game that allowed social
media users to push Trump off a cliff repeatedly, and has frequently referred to him as a "sexual
predator."
(Trump has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, but he denies the allegations.)
That isn't even the full extent of O'Donnell's resistance efforts.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, O'Donnell said that she attempted to "offer herself
to the Clinton campaign," on the basis that she had a "decade of experience" going
head to head with Trump.
Hillary Clinton's campaign reportedly did not act on O'Donnell's offer, leading
her to seek another avenue to cope with Trump's election.
This is what led her down the path to painting acrylics of the now-president."
O'Donnell said she would only produce these prints of Trump until he is no longer president
— whether the end of his presidency comes about through impeachment, resignation, or
a loss in his likely campaign for a second term in 2020.
"Til [sic] Trump is out I will keep making these," O'Donnell wrote on Etsy."
If her horrid pictures of President Trump and Sarah Huckabee Sanders are not enough
to show you what her true character is, then consider the developing news story on one
of her former producers who she employed on her show.
A woman known as Jill Blackstone who was a producer for the Rosie O'Donnell Show was
recently arrested in Baltimore, Maryland in connection with the murder of her sister who
was partially blind and deaf.
Currently, she is dealing with the potential of extradition to Los Angeles, California
where the murder allegedly took place on 2015.
Law enforcement officials are saying that she allegedly drugged her sister and then
put her in her garage with three dogs and proceeded to set it on fire.
Which means if convicted she would also be guilty of arson.
She was arrested at John Hopkins Hospital when receiving treatment for an unknown illness.When
O'Donnell isn't busy employing murderers, she is busy drawing disgusting pictures of
the leaders of this current White House administration and denigrating the office in which they hold.
All factors and variables which speak to her character, or lack of it.

David Hogg Meets His Match… A 16-Year-Old Pro-Gun Teenage Girl - Duration: 3:18.
David Hogg Meets His Match… A 16-Year-Old Pro-Gun Teenage Girl
David Hogg acts as if he is the voice of his entire generation… but is it true?
The student-turned-activist has become famous for his spiteful rants against NRA members
and law-abiding Americans, even going so far as to declare that gun owners are "pathetic
f***ers that want to keep killing our children."
At the same time, he has lectured adults — you know, the people who actually vote and pay
taxes — for not knowing how to "use a f***ing democracy," and implied that teenagers
were going to change gun laws. Hogg, no doubt, sees himself as the leader
of that movement, but there's a problem: He's not the only young person who knows
how to use social media, and not everyone agrees with his shrill anti-gun message.
Meet Elizabeth Najjar. Like David Hogg, she's a high school student who is passionate and
fired up about the gun control debate… but she's taking a different approach.
Earlier this month, the young American released a video on Facebook with some of her views
on guns, and it has so far been seen by nearly 75,000 people.
"It's so easy for a high school student to just go along with the liberal agenda.
It is hard to be a student, who supports gun rights and a conservative student," she
explained. Najjar, who according to BizPac Review is
16 and lives in Virginia, rejected the narrative pushed by Hogg, and reminded viewers that
it was the government which sadly failed in the Florida shooting.
"This is a society problem, this is a people problem," she said. "People weren't
doing their jobs. I mean, the FBI was alerted about Cruz so many times, and nothing happened."
The young conservative student pointed out that voices like Hogg and fellow anti-gun
advocate Emma Gonzalez seem to lack an understanding about firearms or even current laws that already
exist in America. "As we've seen in the past month, since
the Parkland shooting, you know, students like David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez have stepped
up, and they're claiming that they're experts on the subject of guns and gun control,
which we all know they're not experts," Najjar continued.
"We're so lucky that we have those freedoms, and now people want to take them away?"
The young lady brought up a point that liberals frequently ignore: Self-defense is part of
women's rights.
"So how am I supposed to defend myself?" she asked. "How are other young women supposed
to defend themselves? How are men supposed to protect their families?"
That's a particularly important question in the face of legislation that makes it illegal
for law-abiding adults to purchase firearms if they happen to be 20-years-old instead
of 21.
The left apparently believes that a 20-year-old woman is old enough to vote, pay taxes, and
serve in the military, but not be sufficiently armed to fend off a rapist or a gang.
Elizabeth Najjar will probably not be changing liberal minds any time soon, but her video
is a refreshing reminder that not all young people are marching lock-step with Hogg on
this issue.
There is a silent majority of law-abiding American citizens who believe in gun ownership
and self-defense… and one at a time, they're realizing that they cannot stay silent forever.

SCIENTIST SAYS RFID WON'T BE OPTIONAL & MAY CHANGE THE ESSENCE - Duration: 5:36.
SCIENTIST SAYS RFID WON�T BE OPTIONAL & MAY CHANGE THE ESSENCE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
HUMAN
BY ARJUN WALIA
As the world continues to advance technologically, so do more initiatives that encroach on our
basic human rights.
It seems we�re on our way to becoming a card-less, cashless society.
Remember when our credit and debit cards didn�t have a chip, and we had to sign for our purchases?
Well, they got a chip, and the next step might be a chip inside of our body, and not inside
of the card.
In fact, microchip implants in humans are already on the market.
For example, an American company called Applied Digital Solutions (ADS) has developed one
approximately the size of a grain of rice, and has already had it approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration for distribution and implementation.
Not long ago, Ex DARPA director and Google Executive (now a Facebook executive), Regina
Dugan, was promoting the idea of microchipping humans.
You can view that clip here.
Ask yourself, what if this becomes a requirement for authentication and identification?
To withdraw money or go to the grocery store, to access your health card, social security
information or passport..
Would you do it?
Last year, a Wisconsin company held a �chip party� to microchip their workers, as the
Chicago Tribunepoints out:
�A brief sting is all employees of a Wisconsin technology company said they felt Tuesday
when they received a microchip implant in their hand that will allow them to open doors,
log onto computers or buy breakroom snacks by simply waving their hand.
Three Square Market, also known as 32M, said 41 of its 85 employees agreed to be voluntarily
microchipped during a �chip party� at company headquarters in River Falls.�
Another example would be the Swedish technology firm, Epicener.
Over 100 employees there agreed to have a microchip implanted inside their hands, which
allows them to open doors and use electronic devices more efficiently.
Although it�s claimed that the data in these microchips is encrypted and does not use GPS
(so we cannot be tracked and private information obtained), who really knows if that�s true.
With all of the leaks from Edward Snowden, and now the revelations about Facebook and
how much they�ve creeped into their users private lives via storing data, is this something
we can really trust?
The concerning thing is that it�s creeping towards being the norm, as the technology
is slowly being used and developed by multiple countries around the world.
It actually started years ago when animals began being implanted with devices.
An associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Noelle
Chesley, stated that many of those at the edge of developing these technologies �believe
we are going to be combining technology in our bodies.�
A Cybernetics scientist, Dr. Mark Gasson from the University of Reading in Britain told
The Sydney Morning Herald,
�It has the potential to change the very essence of what it is to be human..
It�s not possible to interact in society today in any meaningful way, without having
a mobile phone.
I think human implants will go along as similar route.
It will be such a disadvantage not to have the implant that it will essentially not be
optional.�
IS THERE A �CONSPIRACY� GOING ON HERE?
Microchipping has always attracted attention as being some part of a hidden agenda plan,
one that continues to take away our rights.
The backbone of the American ruling elite�s ideology has long been neoliberalism and neoconservativism,
a state creeping towards the description given by George Orwell�s 1984.
Not long ago, mass surveillance on the global population was considered a mere conspiracy,
but it�s not anymore..
And the reasons to justify these actions seem to be based on false premises.
George Orwell�s 1984 is a classic book depicting a populace ruled by a political regime that
persecutes individualism and independent critical thinking as �thoughtcrimes� that must
be enforced by the �thought police.� This party seeks power above all, and, through
the propagandist Ministry of Truth, presents the people with their version of truth.
Sound familiar?
Within the past few years, so much information has come out contradicting the mainstream
rhetoric.
Election fraud, as made evident by WikiLeaks, is one example, and false flag terrorism,
with 9/11 being the perfect example, is another.
Big global corporate and political initiatives like this have long been tied to some sort
of hidden agenda, and you�re not crazy for thinking that this is also one small part
of the massive global surveillance state we are experiencing.

A Quiet Place DELETED SCENES, Monster Changes & Original Script Explained - Duration: 8:23.
Yippee-ki-yay, movie lovers, it's Jan here.
In this video I want to talk about A Quiet Place and some intriguing deleted scenes and
rejected concepts, plus how the creature design changed over the course of production.
If you're finding me for the first time, I do lots of movie deleted scenes and breakdowns,
so do subscribe if you enjoy this.
Obviously, spoilers ahead for the movie, so take care if you haven't seen it yet.
The movie's producers revealed that the original script included flashbacks.
Though the producers weren't specific in their Hollywood Reporter interview,In fact,initially,
the loss of the family's youngest son was going to be "handled in a flashback".
However, when director and star John Krasinski did his rewrite of Bryan Woods and Scott Beck's
script, he wanted to make that shocking moment feel more urgent, so he cut the flashback,
brought the scene into the present and moved it right up to the front of the movie.
Losing that flashback and shifting the scene to the start of the film was a great call
by Krasinski as it made the terrifying reality of the family's situation totally clear from
the get-go; basically, the unthinkable becomes all-too-imaginable for both the family and
the audience.
Other flashbacks which featured the characters talking were also given the chop by Krasinski.
Though the producers weren't specific in their Hollywood Reporter interview, I think the
deleted dialogue may well have filled in some of the Abbott's backstory and as well as background
about the invasion of the creatures.
Speaking of backstory, in the trailers, there's a scene which was deleted from the film, which
shows Emily Blunt's character Evelyn watching what looks like news footage on various monitors
and there are also voiceovers from different news reports.
[FEEDBACK SOUND] "... a massive invasion ..."
"... around the world ..." "... an attack ..."
"... total devastation ..." [FEEDBACK SOUND]
This looks like it was probably part of some early exposition about the alien invasion
which ended up being cut from the movie.
What's also interesting in this deleted scene is that this version of the father's white
board wasn't in the actual film.
According to this board, there were three creatures to start and that increased to five.
But in the final film, the white board clearly shows that there are only three confirmed
creatures in the area; and at the end of the movie, Evelyn kills one of those and we see
two others on the monitors as they approach the house.
I imagine the filmmakers reduced the number of monsters in the area as they wanted to
leave the ending more realistically hopeful for the family, and if they'd had four creatures
left to kill at once, their odds would have been significantly slimmer.
While including more background about the Abbotts and the invasion in the film could
have been interesting, personally, I liked the way we were dropped into the family's
daily life in the middle of this apocalyptic situation without getting oodles of expositionary
dialogue about the characters' or creatures' backgrounds.
While you could never accuse John Krasinski's film of being overly wordy, the draft screenplay
for A Quiet Place only had three words of dialogue in it.
In that early script, the characters communicated via gestures and hand motions, but it wasn't
until Krasinski came on board to direct, star, and rewrite, that the idea of using American
Sign Language was included in the film and Krasinski also added the cochlear implant
being the key to the creatures' defeat.
These changes made a huge impact on the final movie, especially since Krasinski pushed to
cast deaf actress Millicent Simmonds as his on-screen teen daughter, Regan.
Simmonds injected her real-life experience of deafness into the film, teaching the cast
sign language on set and advising Krasinski on several key moments for their characters.
For instance, she told Metro that the scene where Krasinski's character Lee argues with
Regan after he stops her going into the basement was initially going to play out rather differently,
with Regan backing down to her father's authority.
However, during filming, Simmonds suggested her character would actually be rebellious
in that moment, and Krasinski embraced that idea wholeheartedly.
Also, originally, before Lee's sacrifice at the end, he was only going to sign "I love
you" to his children.
However, Simmonds proposed a subtle, but very effective change, which was for Lee to also
sign "I have always loved you".
As Regan's brother told his father earlier in the film, Regan felt her dad blamed her
for the death of her little brother and no longer loved her, though that wasn't the case.
So, thanks to the additional signing, Lee's final moments see him act on his son's earlier
suggestion to tell Regan what he feels for her, and that really heightened the emotional
impact of Lee's fate while mending his strained relationship with his daughter.
All of which was a great addition to the final film.
The original design for the creatures was very different to what we see in the film.
According to visual effects supervisor Scott Farrar, initially the monsters looked much
less imposing and had rhinoceros-style horns on their faces.
They were actually well into post-production when Farrar and John Krasinski realised that
the creatures needed a complete redesign as they just weren't frightening enough.
In fact, when they placed them in the movie, they looked a little silly.
Farrar suggested taking the VFX in a totally different direction, going for something that
looked, as he told Vanity Fair, much more 'gross... really medical and raw'.
Of course, silence and sound were always at the heart of the film, so getting the right
look for the creature's ears was crucial and that was also altered a number of times during
production, with the monster's hearing canals being moved around the body from the chest,
to the head, elsewhere, and back again.
For the final design of the aliens though, the filmmakers looked to real life for inspiration,
including a sea creature with very poor eyesight called the nautilus, bats, snakes, prehistoric
fish, and even bog bodies, which are human corpses mummified in peat.
Reading through your comments on my Ending and Creatures Explained video, I noticed some
of you had issues with details in the movie that you felt created plot holes, one of which
was to do with the family's electricity supply.
Now, it's interesting you brought that up because in an interview with Slash Film, screenwriters
Scott Beck and Bryan Woods have said that, as they were writing, they did think through
the logic of many different aspects of the film's premise and have answers to a good
number of those questions.
Their draft script explained lots of those details such as how the Abbotts got their
electricity through generators placed underground so they didn't make any noise above ground.
I think such details were dropped from the final film as director and co-writer John
Krasinski felt they weren't crucial to the overall movie and wanted to concentrate on
creating interesting character moments and interactions while ratcheting up the tension
throughout and still keep the run-time to a tight 90 minutes.
I'm sure you can think of more than a few movies you've seen yourself with scenes that
are bogged down in exposition and over-explaining themselves.
But co-writer Bryan Woods said that they really wanted to 'slowly paint in the world these
characters are living in' by showing us a newspaper headline' here and there or an 'awkward
interaction at the [family] dinner table'.
As Woods has also said, 'I think you can make [assumptions] and give the finished film the
benefit of the doubt.'
Before the movie was released, there was a theory doing the rounds online for a while
that A Quiet Place was going to be part of the Cloverfield universe.
And when the writers Beck and Woods pitched the movie to the studio, they did initially
fear that Paramount, which also distributes the Cloverfield movies, might try and make
the film fit into that franchise.
I can see the mysterious alien monsters in the movie could potentially have been incorporated
into the Cloverfield mythology, however, I'm glad Paramount shared the writers' view that
A Quiet Place was strong enough to stand on its own two feet.
And if there are Quiet Place sequels or anthology films, the producers don't intend for there
to be any crossover with Cloverfield in the future either.
Speaking to Cinemablend, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller said, "That's not our world.
[…] That's J.J.'s world and he's carefully curating that.
[…] I think John [Krasinski] has created this amazing world with these characters and
I think A Quiet Place definitely lives on its own."
Although the movie does, of course, lean into horror tropes, I think it managed to create
something that felt fresh and was riveting to watch.
The writers have said they already have a number of ideas and set-pieces they didn't
end up using in the film, so it'd be interesting to see what they come up with for a follow-up.
Meanwhile, in another interview with MovieWeb, the writer further teased his sequel plans,
saying: "We even have some of the set-pieces already
written for it.
In a sense, that's what you have to base it around.
You have to figure out, what is the worst possible situation to put your characters
in and go from there."
On whether we can expect to see the same characters again, he said:
"I think you could continue down one path that's very obvious, or you could spin off
into a completely unexpected direction.
Which is certainly always interesting for us.
The uncharted territory of filmmaking is always where you find the best inspiration."
Now, what do you think about the changes and cut scenes in A Quiet Place?
What were your favourite moments in the movie and what would you like to see happen in a
sequel?

Kicking off 10 minutes of international news, I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN 10.
First story this Thursday, a clash in the European nation of Sweden. Riots broke out
one night earlier this week in the neighborhood of the capital
Stockholm.
A regional police chief says the violence might have been triggered by increased police
pressure on criminals in the area. The neighborhood of
Rinkeby is known for having high levels of unemployment. It`s also known for having a
high immigrant population.
Before the riots broke, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that immigrants in Sweden
were responsible for an increase in crime across the
country. Some Swedes praised President Trump for drawing attention to the issue. Some said
there is no issue, that a recent increase in immigrants
has not made Sweden less safe.
The country has accepted more refugees per capita than any other European nation. So,
the debate is raging, even though the violence has calmed.
Mattias Karlsson is a leader in the right wing Sweden Democrats, the third largest
party in parliament.
I think Sweden is a good example to put forward as a bad example. If you don`t control the
borders, if you
have an irresponsible refugee policy, you will get problems and we have serious problems
here in Sweden.
Is it a -- is it a crisis here?
Yes, I would describe it as a crisis. We have seen serious problems with law and order.
As evidence, Karlsson points to a riot that erupted in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby
Monday night.
A police spokesman says officers fired at least two shots when dozens of rioters attacked
police officers during the arrest of a crime suspect. Ten
cars were torched in the unrest and one police officer suffered a bruise to the arm from
a thrown object.
Hours later, the scene in this largely immigrant community looked very different.
This is the center of Rinkeby. Now that we`re here, I`m going to be honest, s a first time
visitor, it`s hard to believe that less
than 24 hours ago, this was a scene of a full blown riot.
More than a dozen police officers deployed in the central square. Several shop windows
were smashed, but families with small
children appeared to be going about their business as usual.
Is Sweden in crisis right now?
No, it`s not at all in crisis. Look around. I mean, very calm, very quiet. Of course,
isolated
incidences that happened. But police are dealing with them.
Magnus Ranstorp is a counterterrorism expert at the Swedish National Defense College.
I`m not denying that there are integration issues. But what I think is wrong to do is
to conflate immigration, crime and terrorism,
because those linkages are not that strong.
During the peak of the European migrant crisis of 2015, more than 160,000 new arrivals crossed
Sweden`s borders. Sweden has since tightened
border controls, reducing the flow of migrants by imposing temporary passport checks at the
border.
In a four-year period when Sweden granted asylum to more than 100,000 refugees, crime
grew by 7 percent. Meanwhile, state figures show the
Muslim immigrant community in Sweden is increasingly under attack.
Like much of the rest of Europe, this Scandinavian country is grappling with immigration, assimilation
and the threat of Islamic extremist
terrorism, very complicated challenges at the heart of a growing global political debate.
Yesterday, astronomers announced that they`ve discovered seven Earth-sized planets all orbiting
the same star. The findings were
published in a journal "Nature". NASA says this is a record number of these kinds of
planets orbiting this kind of star. It also believes that
three of the planets are in what`s called the habitable zone. Scientists define that
as the space around the star where a planet is most likely to
have water.
This isn`t exactly in our neighborhood. They say the star is 40 light years away and it`d
take a human spacecraft millions of years to get there.
So, how did researchers identify planet at that distance? Well, examining stars with
the telescope based in Chile, they saw shadows occasionally
interrupting the star light. They say that these shadows indicated that planets were
passing between the telescope and the star, like eclipses.
What they`re hoping to do in the future is determine the planet`s atmosphere and whether
they really have liquid water.
Ten-second trivia:
Where would you find the world`s deepest blue hole, a sinkhole filled with water?
Lake Okeechobee, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, or South China Sea?
Researchers say the world`s deepest blue hole which sinks almost a thousand feet deep is
located in the South China Sea.
That title used to belong to Dean`s Blue Hole in the Bahamas. It`s a location popular with
free divers. This is like a marine extreme sport.
Free divers literally take a deep breath then descend into the depths without a breathing
apparatus.
It`s dangerous. Free divers can get lung damage. They can black out or die from doing this.
But for those willing to take the risk, their love
for the sport goes well below the surface.
I`d be lying if I said I`ve never been scared.
I`ve had two occasions where I sort of thought, you`re not going to make it.
But as long as you keep your composure, everything seems to work out.
My name is Jonathan Sunnex. I`m 30 years old from New Zealand. We`re in Long Island, in
the Bahamas, at the beautiful Dean`s Blue Hole. I`m a
professional free diver.
Competitive free diving is where we compete to see who can swim the farthest, deepest,
or hold their breath for the longest.
Jonathan Sunnex.
The current world record is 128 meters. We`ve achieved things that doctors once thought
were impossible.
We`re exploring the capabilities of the human body, pushing ourselves to see what the human
body can really do.
I feel like I`m just getting started.
We couldn`t design anything better. This is like the free diving Mecca. People come from
all over the world. It is the place to dive.
We`re here in preparation for Suunto Vertical Blue, which is one of the most freediving
competitions in the world
One of the things that lured into the sport was the whole science behind it. Before I
dive, I`ll go through a whole preparation and that will
include stretching of the body, stretching of the lungs, the diaphragm, intercostal muscles.
Packing is adding extra air to your already full
lungs while using the mouth as a pump.
I would estimate that I would pack at least an extra liter into my lungs. And then I`ll
come down to the beach. I`ll visualize my dive.
While I`m still making my deepest dives, what goes through my mind is always positive thoughts,
positive energy, so like a form of meditation, to
very deep within yourself.
The physical sensation I get through diving, it touches in all senses. What you can see,
what you can hear, or maybe even it`s the lack of noise.
During dives, our heart rates drop down to below 30 beats per minute. When we`re going
down to deeps where we`ve got basically the length of a
football field above us, it`s not the sort of place where you want to have any sort of
negative thoughts.
When I make it to the surface after a big dive, it`s almost a spiritual experience.
It`s quite a famous quote. A scuba diver will go on the water to look around, and a free
diver would go underwater to look inside himself.
For "10 Out of 10", waiting patiently is not a trick this dog knows. When her owner ran
inside to pick up some fast food, Diamond, her name is
Diamond, decided to make a little scene, barking and honking for her owner to hurry up, and
she didn`t just do it once. No, Diamond seemed to take a
shine to the car horn and the word on the street is that she`s been spotted doing this
in other places around her home town in Ohio.
At least she can`t get a ticket for noise pollution. We don`t know why she`s so doggedly
a-paws her owner`s absence, why she was so honked off,
why she just hates to terrier. But we can say she is truly a diamond in a ruff!
I`m Carl Azuz and that is CNN 10.

Desperate & Disgraced McCabe Threatens 'LEGAL ATT*CK' Against Trump - Duration: 2:22.
Desperate & Disgraced McCabe Threatens 'LEGAL ATTACK' Against Trump
Andrew McCabe, the disgraced former deputy director of the FBI is desperately lashing
out after being fired for lying to authorities, leaking private info, and botching the Clinton
email investigation.
Now, McCabe is threatening legal action against President Trump.From Washington Examiner
The counsel for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe warned Friday that this is "just
the beginning," and his team is considering taking legal action against President Trump,
responding to the release of a Justice Department inspector general report which set up his
client's termination last month.
"We have for some time been actively considering filing civil lawsuits against the President
and senior members of the Administration that would allege wrongful termination, defamation,
Constitutional violations and more," attorney Michael Bromwich wrote in a statement obtained
by the Washington Examiner.
Bromwich warned: "The distinguished Boies Schiller law firm has recently joined us in
this project.
This is just the beginning."
The attorney's threat comes just hours after the Justice Department's inspector general
released a report claiming McCabe "lacked candor" on four separate occasions, three
of which were under oath.
The lengthy report was delivered to select congressional committees on Friday, about
one month after McCabe was fired by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a move that Bromwich
labeled "deeply disturbing."
"I have never before seen the type of rush to judgment – and rush to summary punishment
– that we have witnessed in this case," Bromwich wrote in a statement released promptly
after McCabe's March 16 termination.
Inspector general Michael Horowitz is expected to release a longer, more in-depth report
detailing the FBI's work during the 2016 presidential election in the next few weeks.Desperate

Best SUV in its class? 2018 Mercedes GLC 300 Review - Duration: 4:55.
Like it or not, how we interact with a car nowadays is increasingly defined not just
by the behind-the-wheel experience but also by how we work with its electronic and infotainment
systems.
Having already gone in-depth on what it's like to drive our long-term 2017 Mercedes-Benz
GLC300 4Matic in previous updates, I'm going to dedicate this one to what it's like working
with the Benz's COMAND infotainment system and the various other electronics our GLC
has.I really like our GLC's COMAND infotainment system, even if it isn't perfect.
Part of our tester's multimedia package, COMAND-equipped GLC's get a larger 8.4-inch
screen mounted on top of the center stack, a touchpad controller mounted above the traditional
knob control in the center console, and features such as navigation with real-time traffic
alerts, satellite radio, and voice control.
You'll notice Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are missing from the equation—those
features were added for the 2018 model year as part of the $350 smartphone integration
package—nevertheless, our GLC makes do with Siri Eyes Free functionality.
Despite lacking borderline-essential CarPlay integration, the COMAND experience is a good
one.
All of the various menus, from the owners' manual to your phonebook, are easy to find
and, equally important, easy to navigate.
The graphics are crisp and easy to read at a glance while driving down the road.
With the touchpad controller—that weird palm-rest-looking thing you see in pictures
of the GLC's center console—there are effectively two ways to navigate Mercedes'
COMAND system: the touchpad or the knob.
More often than not I find myself using the knob, which spins left and right, clicks north,
south, east, and west, as well as clicks down, to navigate the GLC's various infotainment
functions.
I prefer the tactile feedback of the knob, versus the touchpad, especially while on the
move.
The feature I've found myself using most on the touchpad is its swipe feature to quickly
change songs.
I also appreciate how easy it is to navigate Mercedes' instrument cluster display.
All controlled at the tip of your left thumb on the left-hand side of the wheel, Mercedes
makes it easy to quickly check the GLC's fuel economy, range to empty, service needs,
and even the last time you took a break.
It's the latter system, dubbed Attention Assist, which I like least.
The system, which has been around on various Mercedes models since 2010, uses a variety
of onboard sensors to determine a driver's style and then monitors steering movement
and speed, how long you've been driving for, and your usage of the instrument cluster
display and COMAND system to determine if you're too tired to keep driving.
If it thinks you are tired, it'll set off a loud chime and display a coffee cup on the
instrument cluster display.
I love this system in theory.
Studies have shown the risks of drowsy driving are as high as drunk driving, but in practice
it leaves a bit to be desired.
On a recent multiday road trip, the system seemed inconsistent at best.
For example, after around five hours of straight driving on California's charmless I-5 in
the middle of a sunny afternoon, I found myself really struggling to stay alert.
I checked the GLC's Attention Level monitor on the instrument cluster, and it showed I
was highly alert.
Compare this to a few days later, when in a well-rested (and highly-caffeinated) state,
I hit the road around 3 a.m. to catch a flight.
Within an hour and a half of driving, the system had gone off twice, even though I didn't
feel I was experiencing any symptoms of drowsiness.It might sound like I'm nitpicking—and to
a certain extent, I am—but the single most important factor for any vehicle safety system
is that it's consistent.
A driver must be able to rely on safety systems, whether it's Attention Assist or forward
collision alert, because any doubt could wind up being the difference between life and death.
I haven't had any other issues with Attention Assist, but as our loan winds to a close I'll
be paying special attention to it and our GLC300's other safety systems.
