Hello, I'm Rogan and welcome.
Today's a really short video, because I just wanted to tell you something.
I'm not sure if I will have another video up before May starts, but!
I just wanted this to be short because I wanted to let you know that I've decided I will go ahead and do
Vlog Every Day In May, or VEDIM for short.
So that will be... An interesting challenge for me.
I will try my best to actually make a video every day, maybe not make, but upload a video every day.
I probably will pre-record some-- several of them, just so I can have stuff to upload.
This is a little awkward right now because the person right across from me is looking at me.
Well, not looking at me, but can see me, so. Anyways.
I already made a list of ideas for the days, like holidays or special days that I found from a website.
So, sure, I added some of them.
But some...I'm not sure if I really want to do.
They will be short, like a max of two, three minutes. Maybe? I don't know.
Pre-recording, that's why!
But if there's any videos you want to see me make during that month, let me know. I need ideas too.
I'm not sure if I will do any of my regular, "normal" videos for that month, like ASL Ponderings, or books, or...
I don't know if I will do any of those during May, probably will, but we'll see.
This is why I'm not sure if I will have another video up before May starts.
Because I do want to make a book video, but I do want to finish one, two books before I make the video.
Cause I'm almost done-- I say soon, I don't know. How soon that--what does that mean, I don't know.
So. There is a possibility of having a book video up before May, but also a possibility of not.
I think maybe I'll go ahead and take this opportunity to say something that's been bothering me for a while.
As a YouTuber, I put myself out there. You get to know me, but I don't really get to know you.
Unless you comment on my videos, but that's not for here.
You know me a little better than I know you, for sure.
I understand you wanting to become friends, but I'm not going to add you to my personal Facebook.
It's personal for a reason.
If you really want to contact me, Twitter, Instagram, I even have a Facebook page.
So you can message me through that. Fine, sure. But my personal Facebook is off-limits.
My personal Facebook is for only me, my friends, my family. And yes, I do add some YouTubers.
But that's because we've had a conversation, gotten to know each other.
Rikki [Poynter] has a video about this, talking about how it's a little weird, YouTubers and friends.
I will link that, wherever it goes. One of these.
And it's really important that you know this. I'm not going to add just anyone. I don't do that.
Sometimes I will be fine with adding, if we've had a conversation, or if I know that person has a lot of mutual friends.
Like we will actually talk. But if you add me just to be friends on Facebook, it doesn't work that way.
So watch Rikki's video, and respect my small bit of privacy. I will really appreciate it.
I guess that's all for today. Short, really short video but I just wanted to update a little.
I also want to mention that I am actually a little more active on Twitter now so...
I know I've been saying that I have Twitter, but I don't really use it. Well, now I am starting to be actually on it more often.
And talking with people. So if you want to talk with me, Twitter is the best.
On YouTube, I do look at it if I get comments on my videos, I do look, but I don't really...necessarily reply on there.
But if it's Twitter, I will reply for sure.
So go ahead and follow me on Twitter, Facebook (the page, not personal!), YouTube... Oh, Instagram.
Instagram too.
And... Patreon and ko-fi. Thanks for watching, see you next time!

5 things to know about Trump's tax plan
Though it broke little new ground, President Donald Trump's tax reform outline underscores
just how arduous a task overhauling the tax code could be for Republicans this year.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn, the director of the National Economic
Council, handed out a one-page overview of the plan Wednesday — and told reporters
that the administration had to fill in many of the key details that make overhauling the
tax code so difficult that it's happened only a handful of times over the last century.
Here are five things to know about the newest version of Trump's tax plan: What's in
it?
Trump released a couple tax plans during the campaign, with the most recent coming around
seven months ago.
Many of the details released Wednesday haven't changed since that September plan, including
proposals to cut the top tax rate for all businesses to 15 percent and to repeal the
estate tax and alternative minimum tax.
But some changes have been made, including a couple major ones.
Trump now proposes a so-called territorial tax system that shields offshore corporate
income from U.S. taxation, a key priority for corporate America.
The top tax rate on individuals is also slightly higher than in Trump's last plan, moving
to 35 percent from 33 percent, while tax incentives like the deduction for state and local taxes
would get the ax.
And the Trump team seeks to double the standard deduction claimed by most taxpayers, which
is still smaller than what the campaign sought in September.

However, as time goes by, we were really shooting at a happy atmosphere
Q: Which line impressed you the most?
"Although, the fate created by the extension of chance"

FACT: 5 Hidden Secrets The Secret Didn't Tell You - MISERABLE Fact About Law of Attraction - Duration: 7:45.
The Law of Attraction is becoming famous after the book and movie entitled "The Secret"
published in 2006.
So many people from the entire earth began to apply The Law of Attraction techniques
to achieve their personal goals in life.
Some of them did successfuly achieved their goals, and some of them had to face devastation
as they wasted their preicous time and money in order to do personal research to make the
law of attraction works well in their life.
This video is based from very great article entitled The Truth About the Law of Attraction
by Neil Farber, we put the link in the description box below.
The reason why we created this video is because we are the one who has to face devastation
after doing so much research that cost us our precious time and money.
We are sharing our past experience to you, hoping you will not do the same mistake that
we did.
Here's the five secret that The Secret didn't tell you.
Fact number one.
Placebo effect.
Placebos are inactive, ineffective substances to which a positive effect has been attributed.
The greater your expectations and beliefs that something will be effective, the greater
chance it has of creating a positive response.
The mind is a powerful tool.
We can increase or decrease our heart rate and blood pressure through visualization.
A few individuals using a LOA have a firm belief that it will work and so it does.
People tend to have more success with the LOA for smaller items for which they did not
make a vision board; finding money on the street, getting a check in the mail, hearing
from a long lost friend, etc.
Is a belief in a law of attraction any better than rubbing a rabbit's foot, tossing a
coin in the fountain, or pulling apart a wishbone?
Test it yourself, the answer is no!
Fact #2.
Action is required.
The only way to manifest your thoughts into things is to believe and live as if you've
already accomplished your goal.
Law of Attraction guru Esther Hicks said, "You did not come into this environment
to create through action."
Action shows the Universe that you know you don't have it and that you doubt its ability
to manifest it for you.
On the other side, many people believe that the law of attraction is not an excuse to
sit down and stop striving to achieve desired goals.
While the law of attraction states that desiring something will attract it to you, the functioning
of this law is that it opens doors and possibilities for you to exploit to achieve the desired
end.
Let's take a look at this man.
The world recognize him as one of the most talented soccer player in the world.
Well, if you ask him how he achieve this success, he won't be answering, "I just asked,
believed, waiting, and then I become the best soccer player in the world".
No, it doesn't work that way.
Otherwise, he may answer, "In my career journey, I always work hard on my dream, I
believe in that dream, dedicate my whole time on it, accepting my failures and learn from
them."
While it is obvious to most that action is a necessary component of goal achievement,
it is completely inconsistent with a belief in a Law of Attraction.
It is up to you to take advantage of the means.
Fact number three.
Plan is required.
If the best way for us to achieve our goals is to live as if we have already achieved
them, then there is no reason to make further plans to do so.
Making plans shows the universe that you doubt its ability and lack faith.
Doubt is negative and you will then attract more negative and not get your desired item.
Well, maybe this channel doesn't need to make other videos again in the future, as law of
attraction guru said we can achieve our success without actions or plans.
So let this channel be as it be today, we will only sit and visualize having 10 million
subscribers, and The Universe will provide 10 millions subscribers for a channel with
only 5 videos.
Is that makes sense?
We don't think so.
We will keep making videos, work as hard as we could, challenging our limits, giving values
to our subscribers, and do our best, so people will like our videos and subscribe to this
channel.
Let's try it, maybe it will work that way.
In the book The Secret, Jack Canfield proposed, "Our job is not to figure out the how, trust
that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it."
Studies show that this way of thinking results in greater short term satisfaction, but less
motivation and lower chance of achieving goals.
We're curious that Jack Canfield's website sells a program to teach you how to make an
"Action Plan."
Um, wait.
How to make an "Action Plan"?
Well, we think it is clear that action and plan are the basic requirements of the law
of attraction.
Before we continue to the next fact, please pause the video, and click that like and subscribe
button below to help us grow.
One click means everything to us.
Fact number four.
We are not perfect.
The Law of Attraction is a perfect law, and should result in a perfect life.
We are told that no goal is too big if you can think it, there is no such thing as an
unrealistic goal.
The Secret stated, "You can think your way to the perfect state of health, the perfect
body, the perfect weight, and eternal youth.
You can bring it into being, through your consistent thinking of perfection."
Reality check?
Life is not perfect.
Life can be great, fantastic, amazing, incredible, even optimal.
But perfect?
We think it won't happen.
What's the problem with this way of thinking?
Why not expect perfection?
Fantasizing and striving for perfect makes you feel better in the short term but actually
reduces your chance of attaining your goals and results in more unhappiness and blaming.
If you are only going to be satisfied with perfect results such as perfect health, perfect
body, perfect family, perfect marriage, perfect friendships, perfect kids, perfect house,
perfect job, perfect life, you are in for a perfect disappointment.
Research studies support this.
Fact number five.
The one that is responsible of your goals is you.
As the Law of Attraction is supposed to be a perfect universal law, and positivity should
always attract more positivity.
The corollary of this is that you alone are completely responsible for any goal that was
not successfully achieved, no matter how unrealistic the goal.
This assumes that you not only control your thoughts and actions, but also those of everyone
around you, and nature.
The fact is, that you don't.
Sorry to break that to you.
If you read Law of Attraction websites and posts, you would guess that it is might be
over 90% effective.
Everybody seems to be achieving their goals this way.
Talk to some experts who deal with the general public trying to use the Law of Attraction,
there's a completely different story.
The failure rate is huge.
In fact, Law of Attraction expert John Assaraf estimated that the success rate is about 0.1%.
We believe this number to be correct.
There is a great book for you to read entitled Throw Away Your Vision Board by Neil Farber.
This book explains why the failure rate of the Law of Attraction is so huge.
DISCLAIMER: We personaly believe the Law of Attraction
does exist, and we believe it is never as simple as ask, believe, and receive.
There are so many requirements that people needs to achieve their goals like determination,
dedication, persistance, etc.
We're sorry for the doom and gloom in this video.
But these things need to be said.
Millions of people are wasting time, money, and energy into an ineffective and detrimental
system, like we used to do.

to click that subcribe button because we have a lot of informative videos for you in the
future.

Why It's Hard To Talk About and Report Child Abuse - Duration: 4:33.
[pencil writing]
[Pokemon game sound]
Last week, I made a very last minute video called "Child Abuse Is Not A Prank Or A Joke"
and it was, in fact, about the DaddyOFive controversy.
Well, not only that.
It was also about my experience.
I've dealt with abuse since I was 7-years-old.
That is a very long time.
And over the years I've been on the Internet, I never talked about it in detail outside of Tumblr.
Last week's video was the first time that I talked about what happened to me on my YouTube channel.
In a way, I wasn't ready, I really wasn't ready,
but after seeing the videos from DaddyOFive and Philip DeFranco,
I couldn't just sit down and stay still.
When stuff like this comes to light, and some cases in the past have come to light by news and elsewhere,
people often say,
"They need to report this."
"Why don't they talk about this?"
"Why don't they tell someone?"
I want to talk about why it's so hard to talk about this kind of stuff and especially to report it.
Sometimes, people don't believe us.
Especially if it's the mother who is the abuser.
Because the mother is usually automatically seen as this sweet, nurturing person that could do no wrong
and will always love her child unconditionally.
Sometimes, people find out and they don't do anything about it, or they give up.
I reported my abuse to my middle school guidance counselor when I was 12.
I remember crying my eyes out, grabbing a bunch of tissues, hyperventilating,
and trying to eat a lollipop that the counselor gave me so I would calm down.
My counselor's solution was to write a letter to my abuser asking her to come in
and to have a conversation about what was going on.
She read the letter, yelled at me about it, and didn't go.
She wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.
I go to my counselor again the next morning and she had no other solutions.
She didn't want to try to do anything else, and she didn't report it further.
To make things even worse, even though stuff like this is already really bad,
Sometimes, there are cases of people literally seeing the abuse happen in front of their eyes
and they don't do anything about it.
Zahra Baker is the perfect example of this.
The murder of Zahra Baker was a huge case in North Carolina.
Zahra Baker was a 10-year-old girl who went through a lot.
She was diagnosed with bone cancer and as a result, lost a leg and her hearing.
Long story short, she was abused by her stepmother.
She went to school with injuries such as a black eye and
even though the family was checked up on, nothing really went through.
Now, her neighbours did see her being abused.
Her neighbours reported to the news as witnesses that they did see it happen in front of their own eyes.
But nobody did anything about it.
Nobody stepped up to try to save this child.
As a result, Zahra Baker was killed and her stepmother was guilty and is now in prison.
Sometimes, people get a little too invasive.
They start asking all of these questions.
Some of it is just genuine curiosity, but as it starts to go on and on, it almost starts to sound like judgment.
"Well, why haven't you told anyone?"
"Did you tell your other parent or anyone else in your family?"
"Why haven't you left?"
As if just suddenly packing up and leaving is an easy solution.
Because to one person who might ask these questions,
it doesn't matter if you don't have the income or the means to take care of yourself if you did leave.
But let me tell you, even if you packed and left, what happens if you end up homeless as a result?
That has and does happen.
If you don't have family or friends to take you in, what are you going to do?
Sometimes, it's easier to stay so you can still have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, and food to eat.
It isn't as easy as people think.
I'm not the only person that this has happened to.
Zahra Baker isn't the only person to have died as a result of child abuse.
This happens to so many kids and teenagers everyday.
Can everybody swoop in and be Superman, Superwoman, Superperson and save every child
and put them into a healthy environment?
Probably not.
It's probably not realistic.
But it's just so hard talking about this kind of stuff when you know that it doesn't always work.
Sometimes, you'll take the risk and it pays off.
Sometimes, you'll take the risk and it turns out nobody believes you and you just feel stuck and hurt.
And sometimes, people just don't care.
But, sometimes, things do work out and when that happens, that is a really good thing.
That's why child abuse is so hard to talk about.

How to use "ABOUT TO" in English - Duration: 5:14.
Hello.
My name is Emma and I am about to teach you "about to".
Okay?
So, "about to", what does it mean and how do we use it?
Well, let's look at an example to really understand this.
"I am about to clean my room."
I want you to think for a moment.
Do you think this sentence is about the past, the present, or the future?
So: "I am about to clean my room."
If you said this is about the future, you are correct.
We use "about to" when we're talking about something we will do very soon in the future.
We're not talking about far in the future.
We usually use "will" for that.
We're talking about very, very soon like in the next five minutes or in the next couple
of minutes.
So, I am about to give you some examples of "about to".
So we have here "I" as a subject: "I am about to", and then after "about to" we have a verb.
I put this in colour to help you remember it better.
We have: "You are about to" and the verb.
"She or he is about to" and a verb.
"We are about to" and a verb.
"You guys are about to" and a verb.
I've put here: "You guys", which is a bit informal, but when we're talking about a group
of people in an informal situation we can use: "You guys", and: "They are about to"
with a verb.
So what can we do with the verbs here?
Well, if you look up here I have: "I am about to clean my room."
We keep the verb in the infinitive in this case.
"I am about to study English.",
"You are about to listen to me speak.",
"She is about to watch TV.",
"We are about to go to the gym.",
"You guys are about to listen to Justin Bieber.",
"They are about to take a shower."
Okay?
So now let's do some together, let's put the verb in the proper form together.
Okay, so just to remember: When we're talking about "about to", we're talking about the
future and usually we're talking about either the immediate future, meaning the next 5-10
minutes or the next couple of hours or we can also be talking about soon.
Soon is different for different people, so I might be talking about in the next couple
of days or in the next couple of weeks, but what I really mean is soon. Okay?
So I can say: "I am about to go on vacation", and that means soon I will go on vacation.
Okay, so now let's do some examples together.
"I am about to _________."
How can we change this verb into the proper form?
"I am about to..."
Well, this was a trick question.
You said:
"call"-and we add a little period here-you are correct.
It's very easy to use "about to".
We just need the subject, "am", "about to", and the verb.
All right, let's look at the next example together.
"Ednan is _________ do homework."
Now, I want to talk about Ednan in the immediate future, what he's going to do very soon, so
what can we put here?
If you said:
"about to", you are correct.
"Ednan is about to do his homework."
Okay?
Now, let's do one more: "Jess is about to _________."
And here we have the verb "study".
So, again, very easy.
What do we write?
"Jess is about to
study."
Which means she is going to study soon.

( BAND PLAYING ) AND EVEN BETTER, HIS MOM, PLEASE
WELCOME DAVE AND VIRGINIA GROHL.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: WE MET BRIEFLY AT THE KENNEDY CENTER HONORS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AT THE AWARDS.
YOU ACTUALLY BRING YOUR MOM TO A LOT OF FUN PLACES.
>> OH, MAN, SHE'S BEEN ON TOUR MORE THAN MOST ROCK MOMS I KNOW.
SHE'S PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE ON THE ROAD, THOUGH.
YOU KNOW, I GIVE HER A LAMINATE, AND PLAY A GIG, AND COME BACK TO
THE DRESSING ROOM AND SHE'S HAVING A BEER WITH GREEN DAY.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: IN THIS CASE, YOU BROUGHT HIM.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A NEW BOOK CALLED "FROM CRADLE TO STAGE:
STORIES FROM THE MOTHERS WHO ROCKED AND RAISED ROCK STARS."
OKAY.
SO IT'S YOUR STORY OF RAISING THIS MAN OVER HERE.
AND TALKING TO OTHER MOTHERS WHO RAISED ROCK STARS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: NOW, LIKE ANY GOOD MOTHER, YOU BROUGHT AN
EMBARRASSING PHOTOGRAPH TO START OFF HERE.
THERE IS-- OKAY.
AT WHAT POINT DID IT OCCUR TO YOU...
( LAUGHTER ) THAT HE MIGHT BE A ROCK STAR?
THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS LIFE?
>> WELL, I DEPARTMENT KNOW HE WAS GOING TO BE A ROCK STAR.
I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE A MUSICIAN.
I KNEW REALLY EARLY HE WAS GOING TO BE AN ENTERTAINER.
I HAD THE FEELING THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR BLOOD
SOMEWHERE THAT YOU JUST START OUT BEING GOOFY.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: BEATS HARD WORK.
( LAUGHTER ) >> AND SILLY AND MAKING PEOPLE
LAUGH.
>> Stephen: UH-HUH.
>> AND THAT'S THE WAY HE WAS.
>> Stephen: IT SEEMED LIKE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUR FOCUS,
DAVE, BECAUSE YOUR MOTHER ALSO BROUGHT ALONG ONE OF YOUR REPORT
CARDS I'D LIKE TO SHARE.
THERE IS AN ACTUAL REPORT CARD FROM SIXTH GRADE, I BELIEVE,
'08Y-'81.
>> THAT WAS A TOUGH ONE.
A TOUGH YEAR.
>> Stephen: IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR HERE.
LET'S SEE... HMM... "RESPECTS AUTHORITY."
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT.
( LAUGHTER ) "IS COURTEOUS."
"NEEDS IMPROVEMENT."
"ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY: UNSATISFACTORY."
"EXERCISES SELF-CONTROL: NEEDS IMPROVEMENT."
"EXERTS EFFORT: UNSATISFACTORY.
BEGINS AND COMPLETES WORK ON TIME, UNFACTLY.
WORKS NEATLY, WORKS ACCURATELY-- >> HOW LONG IS THIS STATEMENT.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
>> I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I WAS KICKING ASS UP TO FIRST GRADE AND IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL
FROM THERE.
>> Stephen: AND AT 17 YOU TELL YOUR MOM, WHAT?
>> I STARTED PLAYING MUSIC WHEN I WAS MAYBE NINE OR 10 YEARS
OLD, AND I JUST KIND OF TOOK TO IT.
ONCE I STARTED PLAYING IT I COULDN'T THINK OF MUCH ELSE.
I WAS JUST FOCUSED ON PLAYING MUSIC, AND I GOT THE BUG.
SO ALL OF MY FOCUS AN AND ENERGY WENT TO JUST PLAYING.
AND SO KIND OF EVERYTHING ELSE WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
AND, YOU KNOW, MY MOTHER, HAVING BEEN A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER FOR
35 YEARS, I THINK SHE UNDERSTOOD THAT SOME KIDS DON'T NECESSARILY
THRIVE IN THAT FLUORESCENT-LIT PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK OUTSIDE OF IT A LITTLE MORE.
SO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO START TRAVELING EUROPE AND THE
WORLD WHEN I WAS 17 OR 18 PLYING MUSIC.
AND MY MOTHER, BECAUSE SHE HAD SEEN GENERATIONS OF KIDS WHO
MIGHT HAVE BEEN REALLY BRIGHT KIDS STRUGGLE WITHIN THAT
SYSTEM, SHE SORT OF LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, "OKAY.
OF."
>> "IT'S A GREAT YET IDEA."
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: YOU SAID GO?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU WEREN'T WORRIED AT ALL?
HERE'S A 17-YEAR-OLD KID.
HE'S GOING OFF TO EUROPE WITH HIS HAND BAND-- WHAT WAS THE
BAND?
>> AT THAT TIME IT WAS A BAND CALLED SCREAM.
>> Stephen: HE'S GOING OFF TO WITH SCREAM TO EUROPE,.
DIDN'T WORRY YOU AT ALL?
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: SEX, DRUGS, ROCK 'N' ROLL.
>> A LITTLE OF THAT.
BUT HE WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING MUSIC.
HE WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING MUSIC IN PARIS.
AND IN AMSTERDAM, AND I WAS STAYING BEHIND IN FAIRFAX COUNTY
IN THE CLASSROOM.
I ALMOST WANTED TO GO WITH HIM.
>> Stephen: SO NOTHING?
NO WORRIES AT ALL?
>> UHM, HERE'S THE THING-- THE OTHER GUYS IN THE BAND WERE
OLDER.
THEY WERE ABOUT 10 YEARS OLDER, MAYBE?
AND I KNEW THEM VERY WELL.
AND I KNEW THEY'D TAKE CARE OF HIM.
AND THEY DID.
WE'RE ALL STILL GOOD FRIENDS.
>> Stephen: NOW, HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR MOM EVERYTHING THAT HAS
HAPPENED?
( LAUGHTER ) HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR MOM
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD?
BECAUSE MOMS DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING.
>>Y DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE --
>> Stephen: I THINK IT IS.
>> TO AIR THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY.
>> Stephen: I THINK IT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.
IS THERE ANYTHING-- IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVEN'T TOLD YOUR
MOTHER?
DAVE GROHL, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVE NOT TOLD YOUR MOTHER
THAT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US?
AND I'LL TURN OFF THE CAMERAS.
>> I FELT SAFE ON THE ROAD.
IT WAS AT HOME WHERE I GOT IN ALL THE TROUBLE, YOU KNOW.
THERE WAS ONCE WHEN I USED TO SNEAK HER CAR OUT AT NIGHT BY
WAITING UNTIL SHE WAS ASLEEP AND GO AND FIND HER KEY CHAIN--
WHICH WAS THIS BROADWAY TICKET YOU GOT FROM "EVITA" AND THE
THING WAS LIKE A COW BELL SO IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET IT OUT OF
THE HOUSE WITHOUT MAKING NOISE I'D GET A TOWEL, WRAP IT IN A
TOWEL, GO OUT TO THE FORD FIESTA, BACK IT DOWNTOWN
DRIVEWAY, START IT UP THE STREET-- THIS ONE NIGHT I WAS
BRINGING IT BACK UP TO THE HOUSE UP THE DRIVEWAY, BUT I HAD TO
CUT THE ENGINE BEFORE I GOT UP THE DRIVEWAY, AND I GET UP THE
DRIVEWAY AND PULL UP THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND GET OUT OF
CAR AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND AM WALKING THROUGH THE KITCHEN, AND
WE HAVE A PICTURE WINDOW, AND I'M TIPTOEING THROUGH THE LIVING
ROOM AND I LOOK OUT AND THE CAR IS ROLLING DOWN THE STREET.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT SHE NEVER KNEW!
I GOT AWAY WITH IT!
YEAH.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU SAY IN HERE THAT THE FIRST ROCK MOM YOU
KNEW WAS KURT COBAIN'S MOM, WENDY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND DID KURT'S DEATH CHANGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP
AT ALL, AND WHAT IT MEANT TO BE A ROCK MOM?
>> I THINK IT DID.
>> YEAH.
>> IT WAS SUCH A DARK, SAD TIME.
AND DAVID CAME HOME AFTER THAT, SO WE ALL SORT OF HAD TO
REGROUP.
AND, YES, WE TALKED A LOT.
WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO SAY EVERYTHING TO EACH OTHER.
BUT THAT WAS A PARTICULARLY SORT OF INCREDIBLE TIME.
IT'S HARD TO EXPRESS HOW-- >> YEAH.
BUT WHENEVER I FELT OVERWHELMED ANYTHING, I WOULD JUST GO BACK
TO VIRGINIA, WHERE I GREW UP, AND MY MOM-- I'D JUST GO BACK TO
THE BEDROOM THAT I GREW UP IN.
SO WHENEVER I FELT OVERWHELMED WITH EVERYTHING, I'D JUST GO
BACK HOME, HANG OUT WITH MY MOM, AND SEE MY FRIENDS THAT I WENT
TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH, AND HAVE BARBECUES-- ALL MY DROP-OUT
FRIENDS.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU EVER WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR TEACHER AND
SHOW THEM YOUR 13 GRAMMYS?
>> I MADE THE MISTAKE OF SHOWING MY KIDS MY REPORT CARD ONCE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY AND THAT BACKFIRED ON ME.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: THE BOOK IS TREMENDOUS.
YOU ALSO INTERVIEWED A DOZEN OR MORE OTHER ROCK MOMS.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE BOOK.
IT'S CALLED "FROM CRADLE TO STAGE."
IT'S AVAILABLE NOW.
VIRGINIA AND DAVE GROHL, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> THANKS.
>> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU, DAVE.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

RFK JR GIVES EYE OPENING INTERVIEW ON LIVE TV ABOUT VACCINE FACTS THAT MANY PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW - Duration: 9:09.
RFK JR. GIVES EYE-OPENING INTERVIEW ON LIVE TV ABOUT VACCINE FACTS THAT MANY PEOPLE STILL
DON�T KNOW
BY ARJUN WALIAAPRIL
Robert F. Kennedy Jr was recently a guest on Tucker Carlson�s show for Fox News, and
in it he revealed it was only the second time he�d ever been allowed to discuss the dangers
of vaccines on such a platform. This restriction is hardly a surprise, and it�s no secret
that networks and shows are paid vast amounts of advertising dollars by big pharmaceutical
companies to paint a particular picture � one that continually promotes vaccines as necessary
and safe.
Hundreds of scientists and doctors from around the world who are now publishing studies that
raise concerns about vaccine safety share this sentiment. Dr. Christopher Shaw, a professor
at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Neuroscience, Ophthalmology,
and Visual Sciences, is one such scientist. Regarding the HPV vaccine, he writes, �It
is a vaccine that�s been highly marketed, the benefits are over-hyped, and the dangers
are underestimated.�
Industry insiders also agree. Here is a clip taken from the One More Girl documentary,
a film that explores the Gardasil vaccine, which was designed to prevent Human Papillomavirus.
In it, Dr. Peter Rost, a former vice president of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies
in the world (Pfizer), shares the truth about the ties between the medical and pharmaceutical
industry.
When it comes to the science, Robert F. Kennedy is currently focusing on one (out of many)
concerns regarding current vaccination, which is mercury, one of the most dangerous toxins
known to man � 100 times more poisonous than lead . He recently held a press conference
at the National Press Club bringing this point up, offering a $100,000 reward for any scientist,
journalist, or doctor to present a study showing that it is safe to inject mercury into babies.
And it�s a difficult task, considering hundreds of studies (that were also present at the
press conference in print form) show it isn�t safe at all, and can significantly increase
the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders, .
The same goes for aluminum adjuvented vaccines. Aluminum has been being added to vaccines
for approximately 90 years, and still the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and vaccine
manufacturers have not conducted or included any appropriate toxicity studies/testing to
prove its safety.
A fairly recent meta-analysis published in the journal Bio Med Research International
determined:
The studies upon which the CDC relies and over which it exerted some level of control
report that there is no increased risk of autism from exposure to organic Hg in vaccines,
and some of these studies even reported that exposure to Thimerosal appeared to decrease
the risk of autism. These six studies are in sharp contrast to research conducted by
independent researchers over the past 75+ years that have consistently found Thimerosal
to be harmful. As mentioned in the Introduction section, many studies conducted by independent
investigators have found Thimerosal to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Considering that there are many studies conducted by independent researchers which show a relationship
between Thimerosal and neurodevelopmental disorders, the results of the six studies
examined in this review, particularly those showing the protective effects of Thimerosal,
should bring into question the validity of the methodology used in the studies.
This topic gained a lot more attention within the mainstream a couple of years ago, when
Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centres for Disease Control (CDC), revealed
that the CDC has known about a link between autism and vaccines for a long time. He even
provided personal examples where his colleagues and superiors disposed of important data.
This was a huge story, and I am mentioning it here because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also
a lawyer and represented Dr. Thompson when he had to invoke whistleblower protection
status. What makes this even more eye opening is that Dr. Thompson authored multiple CDC
studies completely debunking a link between vaccines and autism
He said it was �the lowest point� in his career when he �went along with that paper.�
He went on to say that he and the other authors �didn�t report significant findings�
and that he is �completely ashamed� of what he did. He was �complicit and went
along with this,� and regrets that he has �been a part of the problem.�
A study with revised information and no data omitted was published by Dr. Brian Hooker
(a contact of Dr. Thompson) in the peer reviewed journal Translational Neurodegeneration, and
it found a 340% increased risk of autism in African American boys receiving the Measles-mumps-rubella
(MMR) vaccine. The study has since been retracted.
You can read the full study HERE.
�Despite their long use as active agents of medicines and fungicides, the safety levels
of these substances have never been determined, either for animals or for adult humans�much
less for fetuses, newborns, infants, and children.�
-Dr. Jose G. Dores, a professor at the University of Brasilia�s Department of Nutritional
Sciences
The Interview
In the interview below, RFK brings up a number of good points, but it�s important to remember
there are many other issues regarding vaccine safety that demand our attention.
Many of these issue are brought up in an article we published a few years ago, which should
provide you a general overview of: Why More & More Parents Are Choosing Not To Vaccine
Their Children.
One point I�d like to touch upon from the short interview below deals with how, after
1989, pharmaceutical companies received complete protection from wrongdoing, which meant they
stood to make significantly more money. Even with all of the modern day examples of scientific
fraud, they were and are always protected. This means that they can literally do anything
they want, and approve anything they want, while at the same time claiming it�s beneficial
to human health.
Related CE Article written by RFK: New Study Finds DTP Vaccine Increases Mortality In Young
Infants 5 to 10 fold compared to unvaccinated infants.
�I�m pro-vaccine, and I�ve never said anything anti-vaccine, but I�ve read
the science, and the science is very clear.�

Rep. Adam Schiff: White House Seems To Be Hiding Info About Michael Flynn | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC - Duration: 4:35.
>>> HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE LEADERS SAY THAT MICHAEL FLYNN,
THE FIRED NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, MAY HAVE BROKEN THE LAW
BY FAILING TO DISCLOSE FOREIGN PAYMENTS FROM TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF IS THE TOP DEMOCRAT ON THE COMMITTEE
JOINING ME NO. WHAT DID MIKE FLYNN DO, WHAT DO
YOU SUSPECT HE DID? >> I THINK THERE ARE THREE LEGAL
QUESTIONS CONCERNING MIKE FLYNN, A COUPLE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN
RAISED BY THE GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMITTEE.
WAS HE LEGALLY ENTITLED OR ABLE TO RECEIVE THESE PAYMENTS FROM
THESE RUSSIAN ENTITIES IN THIS TURKISH ENTITY OR AS A GENERAL
OFFICER, WAS HE PROHIBITED FROM EVEN RECEIVE THING MONEY?
THERE'S A SECOND QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER HE FAILED TO REPORT THIS
MONEY ON HIS SECURITY FORMS WHEN HE WAS DOING HIS BACKGROUND
CHECK. AND FINALLY, AN ISSUE OF WHETHER
HE MADE FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT ANY OF HIS DEALINGS WITH THE
RUSSIANS. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE INTERESTED TO
KNOW WHETHER ANY PART OF THIS INVOLVED RUSSIA'S INFLUENCE
CAMPAIGN IN THE UNITED STATES, BOTH DURING AND AFTER THE
ELECTION. BUT THOSE I THINK ARE THE THREE
QUESTIONS SURROUNDING MR. FLYNN. >> POLITICO WAS REPORTING THAT
THE TURKISH ORGANIZATION, THE TURNISH PEOPLE WHO PAID HIM WERE
BACKED BY A RUSSIAN OLIGARCH. IS RUSSIA BEHIND THE TURKISH
DEAL, AS WELL? >> I DON'T KNOW.
NOW THAT WE KNOW HE RECEIVED $500,000 FROM TURKEY, IT
EXPLAINS SOMETHING THAT MYSTIFIED ME.
RIGHT AROUND THE ELECTION, MICHAEL FLYNN WROTE AN OP-ED
WHERE HE CALLED FOR THE UNITED STATES TO TURN OVER THIS TURKISH
CLERIC WHO LIVES IN THE UNITED STATES IN PENNSYLVANIA, TO THE
ERDOGAN REGIME. HE CALLED FOR THAT WITHOUT EVER
SEEING ANY EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT GULLEN WAS INVOLVED IN THE
COUP EFFORT. THAT TO ME WAS A BREATHTAKING
REQUEST FOR HIM TO MAKE. NOW WE KNOW HE WAS BEING PAID TO
PROPAGATE THIS OPINION. SO I FIND THAT VERY DEEPLY
DISTURBING. >> CONGRESSMAN, IS IT CREDIBLE
AS WAS INDICATED BY SEAN SPICER, THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
PAPERWORK ON MIKE FLYNN? >> WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM
THEIR RESPONSE THAT THEY DO HAVE PAPERWORK FOR MICHAEL FLYNN,
THAT THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO GIVE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT REFORM
COMMITTEE. THEY SHOULD PROVIDE IT.
WHAT'S MORE, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
PART OF THE JUSTIFICATION THEY GAVE IS THE INFORMATION WAS
CLASSIFIED THAT. OBVIOUSLY IS NOT A BAR TO THEM
PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
I THINK IT WOULD ASSIST OUR EFFORTS, AND I HOPE THEY WILL
COMPLY. >> AND ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE
PUBLIC HEARINGS WITH SALLYUATES?
-- SALLY YATES? >> WE'VE INVITED HER AND
DIRECTORS BRENNAN AND CLAPPER TO TESTIFY IN AN OPEN SESSION IN
PUBLIC. SO WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF
LOOKING AT DATES FOR THAT, AS WELL AS TRYING TO COORDINATE OUR
ACTIONS WITH THE SENATE, WHICH IS ALSO HAS AN INTEREST FROM
HEARING AT LEAST SOME OF THESE WITNESSES.
WE PLAN TO GO FORWARD WITH OPEN HEARINGS, AND WE'RE IN THE
PROCESS OF TALKING TO WITNESSES HOW TO M MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
>> IN A WORD, ARE YOU SATISFIED THAT BETWEEN THE FBI AND YOUR
COMMITTEES YOU'RE MOVING QUICKLY ENOUGH?
>> WE'RE NEVER MOVING QUICKLY ENOUGH FROM MY POINT OF VIEW,
BUT WE ARE, I THINK, BACK ON TRACK, WHICH IS VERY POSITIVE.
HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING WITH MY COUNTERPART, WHO IS VERY
SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING US ON A NON-PARTISAN FOOTING.
SO WE ARE SCHEDULING WITNESSES, NOT ONLY THE OPEN HEARINGS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE SCHEDULING
INDIVIDUAL WITNESSES, WITNESSES TO COME FORWARD TO BE DEPOSED BY
THE COMMITTEE. I WOULD FEEL FAR MORE
COMFORTABLE, THOUGH, IF IN ADDITION WE HAD A FULLY
INDEPENDENT COMMISSION THAT WAS STAFFED WELL ENOUGH, FOCUSED ON
THIS, COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE POLITICAL PROCESS.
THAT OUGHT TO BE NOT -- INSTEAD OF WHAT WE'RE DOING BUT IN
