North Korea has NOT been included on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism... despite

growing calls within the United States for the regime to be re-listed.

The annual report, however, noted Pyongyang is NOT fully cooperating with U.S. counter-terrorism

efforts and is NOT showing progress in countering the financing of terrorism.

Connie Kim has more.

The United States has decided to leave North Korea off its list of state sponsors of terrorism

for the ninth straight year... despite growing calls to put Pyongyang back on it.

The State Department's annual Country Reports on Terrorism said it de-listed Pyongyang in

2008 as the regime had not supported international terrorism during the preceding six-month period

and based on the North's assurances it would not support terrorism acts in the future.

The U.S. designated Pyongyang as a state sponsor of terrorism in 1988 after North Korean agents

bombed a South Korean airliner killing 115 people aboard... but was dropped from the

list in 2008 in exchange for progress in denuclearization talks.

Nevertheless, this year's report said Pyongyang has been re-certified as "not cooperating

fully" with U.S. counter-terrorism efforts... and it noted the North's failure to show meaningful

progress in strengthening its infrastructure for anti-money laundering and countering the

financing of terrorism.

Following the regime's apparent murder of Kim Jong-un's half-brother, Kim Jong-nam,

and its fifth nuclear test last year,... a sizable number of U.S. lawmakers wanted North

Korea back on the blacklist, but the State Department said designating the North would

only have a symbolic meaning.

The U.S. listed Iran, Syria and Sudan as the only three state sponsors of terrorism this

year with the State Department blasting Tehran as the "leading sponsor" of terrorism.

U.S.-China economic dialogue ends with no new agreements reached - Duration: 0:54.

The U.S. and China have failed to agree on any major trade issues after an annual economic

dialogue session between the two countries.

At its conclusion, the usual press conference was cancelled, and no joint statement was

issued.

Reuters cited a senior official who said the two sides had a "frank exchange" but no agreements

were reached on such issues as the trade deficit, China's steel overproduction, and access to

China's financial services markets.

This comes as a further blow to President Trump's relationship with Beijing.

Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping back in April, where they launched a 100-day

economic plan, but this plan has so far led to no new initiatives.

The Trump administration has also become increasingly frustrated at China's lack of action to rein

in North Korea.

Unlocking the Human Potential of Millions Behind Bars in the U.S. | Project Literacy Lab - Duration: 3:57.

When I was growing up my father taught in Folsom Prison in California and I

remember at night he would bring home the essays and the stories of his

students and he would read them to us like bedtime stories.

Now those stories stick. You could feel the hopes and the dreams of some of these

individuals, but it was disheartening to realize that so many of these hopes and

dreams would never be accomplished, that they lack the resources and the

opportunity to actually make them a reality. At that age though I had no idea of the

magnitude of this problem. 12 million Americans cycle through its jails each

year. 12 million. We spend seventy four billion dollars incarcerating that

population. And what is the return that we see on that investment?

More than half will return a short time after being released-- the rate we call

recidivism. So, what are we doing with this literally captive audience during

this time? How are we spending the time? We're showing day-time television: Jerry

Springer. This is not a formula for success. Especially when we know that the

literacy rate is between third and fifth grade. And especially when we know what

works. It's been unequivocally shown that if when you provide educational and

vocational training to those who are incarcerated, it decreases recidivism by

about 43%. For every dollar that you invest in this type of programming you

see four to five dollar cost savings within the first four to

five years. Now, the challenge though is that this is operationally difficult. It's expensive to have

in-person classes and it is politically very challenging to spend money in this

space. This is where Edovo comes in. At Edovo, we bring wireless networks and

tablets into jails and prisons across the country. It grants them access to the

Edovo platform, a curated collection of educational, vocational and treatment

resources. They can earn tangible things like a GED, college credit or time off of

their sentence. Not only can they begin these courses while they're incarcerated,

but they can continue that progress post-release through any connected device

through our EdovoGo platform. Now, I wish I could bring you all to prison with me.

I'm in and out of jail all the time. But I do want to share at least one of those stories

I'll never forget. It was in a jail in the one of the

southern states of the United States and a gentleman walked up to me at lunch, as

happens many times. He had tears in his eyes, and he said in his own words,

"I'm a no-good dirty crook. I've been in and out of jail my whole life, but for

the first time ever I have a reason to stay out. My granddaughter was born last year.

And I want nothing more than to be able to

read her bedtime stories every night. But I can't read. I'm gonna spend every hour I

can on this platform to learn how to read." And he's done that. As we watch that

data come in. Edovo transforms these facilities. Not only does it transform

these individuals, but the facilities themselves see improved

quality across the board: decreased incidence of violence; improved behavior.

And not only that, that's the piece of it that has helped us to grow

very rapidly. We started with one prison on the east coast and now by the end of July

we'll be in 40 states of the 50 across the country. But it's just the beginning.

I started by telling you about my father who taught in Folsom Prison. His

classroom was 20 students in a facility with 4,000. We've reached over 30,000 students

in just this short time. Edovo is exactly what America and what incarceration

needs right now. We have to stop this revolving door and unlock the

immense human potential that is perpetually behind bars. Thank you.

At First Denied U.S. Entry, Afghan Girls' Robotics Team Shows the World What They Can Do - Duration: 10:32.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But first: An all-girls team from Afghanistan finally made it to the U.S.

this week to participate in a robotics competition.

Their visas were denied twice by American officials, until criticism prompted President

Donald Trump to intervene and reverse the decision.

The girls joined high school students from more than 150 other countries, many of whom

had never seen or made a robot before.

Jeffrey Brown will look at some of the immigration policy issues this is raising once again.

But we start with special correspondent Kavitha Cardoza of our partner Education Week.

She spoke to some of the Afghan girls and other international students in Washington,

D.C.

It's part of our weekly series Making the Grade.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Hundreds of high school students arrived in Washington from across the globe,

robotics teams from Jamaica to Jordan, Canada to Australia.

There was even one representing refugees.

But none of the students had a more unlikely journey, perhaps, than the crowd favorite.

MAN: Team Afghanistan.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Sixteen-year-old Kawsar Roshan, one of the six girls, says this was her proudest

moment.

KAWSAR ROSHAN, Team Afghanistan (through interpreter): I was very happy, and I was proud when the

people supported us.

I'm happy when people feel that Afghans can do something.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: This robotics competition is part of an effort to get more young people,

particularly from underrepresented countries, to enter STEM fields.

It's a term used to include science, technology, engineering and math.

A few months ago, all teams received boxes containing hundreds of identical parts, and

the students had to figure out how to take the wheels and gears, sensors and sprockets,

and create a robot.

FATEMAH QADERYAN, Team Afghanistan (through interpreter): We have an old computer, but

often it doesn't work.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Fatemah Qaderyan is from the Herat province.

Almost 40 percent of school-age children don't have access to education.

Even when they do, there's often a shortage of teachers and textbooks.

For many Afghan girls, Fatemah says even getting to school can be a challenge, because they

need a man's permission.

FATEMAH QADERYAN, Team Afghanistan (through interpreter): We can't go alone.

And we need someone to support us, like a man, to get us to the school, or other places

we want to go.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Their coach, Alireza Mehraban, says technology is hard to come by.

ALIREZA MEHRABAN, Coach, Team Afghanistan: We don't have equipment of robotic.

We don't have it.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: He says even though these girls were chosen from more than 150 students,

because the team has no experience in robotics, some doubted their abilities.

ALIREZA MEHRABAN: They say you can't, because it's impossible.

For girls in Afghanistan, can't do this, really.

It's too hard for us.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: And what did you say when they said that?

ALIREZA MEHRABAN: We say, we can do it.

Just we say, we can do it.

Just give us a chance.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Then, after they built their robot, their visas were denied twice.

They were not given any explanation.

FATEMAH QADERYAN (through interpreter): When we applied and were rejected, we are so disappointed.

We are crying a lot for six or seven hours.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Mehraban can hardly believe they're here.

WOMAN: How do you feel when everyone cheers team Afghanistan?

ALIREZA MEHRABAN: What I have to say, because the feeling like I'm so happy, so happy.

I can't describe it best.

Really, I can't describe it best, because a feeling like I can't control myself.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Eighty percent of these teams are made up of boys, a gender gap that is

reflected in STEM fields worldwide.

But the inequality in education is far bigger than just STEM subjects and Afghanistan.

Around the world, more than 60 million girls don't have access to any education.

The reasons vary, from wars, to cultural mores, to something as simple as distance.

Melissa Lemus is with team Honduras.

MELISSA LEMUS, Team Honduras (through interpreter): Some of my friends live about two hours from

the high school, or they have to take a bus.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: While Gregine Kumba Natt with team Liberia says often they don't

have electricity during the day.

GREGINE KUMBA NATT, Team Liberia: We need to charge the robots, but in our country,

we have poor electricity.

We couldn't charge our phones either, and because of that, usually, we don't practice

at day.

We practice in the night hour.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: And like many countries here, Ruby Balami from team Nepal says her school

doesn't have a science lab, so, initially, she was nervous when she saw teams from developed

countries, such as Japan and the U.S.

RUBY BALAMI, Team Nepal: We think that they are much competitive, and it was a scary thing,

but, coming here, making them friends, now we have — feel much more better, and now

we are much more confident.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Some last-minute tinkering and intense discussions, and then it was showtime.

Each country's team was paired with two others, often not speaking the same language.

Learning to collaborate and communicate is part of the goal, says Dean Kamen, the founder

of the competition, FIRST Global Challenge.

DEAN KAMEN, Founder, FIRST Global 2017 Challenge: You're the first generation on this planet

that could grow up with all of its kids knowing each other, working together, creating value,

so that you could all have better lives, we can have a better world.

And that's the important thing here.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: Fatemah loved meeting students from other countries.

She says she knows people think of Afghanistan as a place of violence and poverty, but she

wants to change that perception.

FATEMAH QADERYAN, Team Afghanistan (through interpreter): War like a habit for us, because

bomb blasting and counterblasting and killing people so normal for us, because we see it

a lot.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: She believes the only way that can change is through education.

Her mother stopped at grade six, and even now more than three million children, mostly

girls, are not enrolled in school.

But someday, Fatemah wants to get a Ph.D. in computer science.

FATEMAH QADERYAN (through interpreter): Because I need this, our country needs this, to have

women educated, to be new generation in the future.

I want to show the world what Afghan girls, or young girls, can do.

We can show them, when we have a creative idea, we can do it.

KAVITHA CARDOZA: For the PBS NewsHour and Education Week, I'm Kavitha Cardoza in Washington,

D.C.

JEFFREY BROWN: As Kavitha said, the visa question for the Afghan girls gained national attention

and the direct intervention by President Trump.

Alan Gomez from USA Today joins me now to talk about that part of the story.

So, Alan, was this a special case, an outlier?

What, if anything, does it tell us about the current situation with visas?

ALAN GOMEZ, USA Today: Well, absolutely, this was a complete outlier.

Understand that the Trump administration has made clear throughout its time that it will

handle any visa application on a case-by-case basis, exceptions can always be made.

But this case definitely represents a very sharp departure from what has been a pretty

clear strategy from this administration to limit, to restrict, to in some cases completely

suspend immigration from terror-prone countries.

Now, understand that, you know, we're still dealing with the travel ban that the president

has been trying to implement now for months that is directed at six countries that have

been labeled as having very close ties to terrorism.

He has completely suspended the refugee program, all in the name of national security.

And Afghanistan has never been on any of those lists of countries, but, you know, I think

it would be pretty easy to make a case that Afghanistan has a bit of history with terrorism,

so that's why this case makes it — is so, so surprising that it's threes girls

from Afghanistan that have been allowed into the country.

JEFFREY BROWN: Well, I wonder, do we even know yet why they were denied visas originally?

ALAN GOMEZ: No, the State Department generally discuss individual cases and why it makes

individual determinations.

But when you think about the overall posture of this administration to seriously scrutinize

any visas, any visa applications that are coming from countries with those ties to terrorism,

it follows that trend of denying a lot of those visas from people coming from those

countries.

JEFFREY BROWN: All right, so this case raises some — plays into some larger confusions

and that continuing controversy.

I want to ask you about one other development in the visa world that came yesterday.

The government announced they're adding 15,000 new H-2B visas.

Now, explain what's going on there.

ALAN GOMEZ: Yes.

And that's just another example of why it's so difficult to try to figure out sort of

what direction this administration is going when it comes to the legal immigration system

in the United States.

Just a couple of months ago, to give you some background, the president ordered a total

review of the H-1B visa program.

Those are visas dedicated to foreigners who are trained in science, technology, engineering,

mathematics.

They're used by technology companies to bring in computer scientists and programmers.

And the Trump administration ordered a review of the program because they believe that there

is too much fraud and that these technology companies are abusing that program to just

import cheaper labor.

So, we had that as the background.

They talk about American workers first.

And that's sort of the posture that they have been proceeding under.

JEFFREY BROWN: That's H-1.

That's the H-1.

Now, this is H-2, which is for temporary workers.

ALAN GOMEZ: Right.

And then, all of a sudden, yesterday, we get this announcement that they are going to approve

15,000 additional new visas for H-2B visas, and these are dedicated to lower-skilled workers.

Think about people who work in fisheries, in hotels, in construction, in resorts, and

those are the kind of workers that they're going to allow in.

The argument from the Trump administration is that these companies, a lot of them were

in very desperate need of the labor, that they couldn't find American workers to do

that job, so they needed to bring in these additional workers to do it.

But, again, it sort of goes against what the administration has been arguing for all these

months, that they are going to limit the immigration system to help American workers and to reduce

the competition that they're facing here in the country.

JEFFREY BROWN: All right, ever evolving.

Alan Gomez, USA Today, thanks very much.

ALAN GOMEZ: Thank you.

SHOW US YOUR CAR!! | Reading Your Comments #105 - Duration: 16:41.

And now YouTube comments with Jacksepticeye

Hey Jack if you could would you play the drums again? Yes, Definitely. I would love to play the drums again

I'd love to have a dedicated space just for drums

Alone and just bang them out all day every day because playing the drums was awesome, and I really loved it

But I don't... for now, I don't really have the space for it because they make a lot of fucking noise

You have no idea

How loud drums are if you've never actually heard them in person, but I also don't really have the time for it

I mean, I guess I could make time for it if I actually had a set of them, but there's two...

there's a few little things that need to be in place first before I can get a drum set in but

I probably will get one eventually and then if I do

then I will most likely upload a video of it you guys can hear me play

show us your car

uh, here it is, uh brum brum*car noises*

*faded car noise*

*car noises*

Who does your animation?

There's a bunch of people who do different

Animations on the channel for some reason a lot of people still think that I do them

I don't know how they thought I was hiding that sort of talent somewhere and never ever talked about it and just started uploading

Animations which is a bunch of people who do animations for the channel?

And I'm not going to start naming names cuz I leave out someone and then I'll feel really really bad

Just because I can't remember names off the top of my head

But there's... all the people who have made animations for the channel

Have done a phenomenal job, and I absolutely love them

And I'm forever grateful for the art that they create out of just

random Gibberish that I say in certain videos the fact that they can extract coherent stories and sentences and

Structures and everything out of some stuff that I've done is absolutely mind-boggling let alone be able to animate that into like a fun

creative thing I'm endlessly envious of people who are able to do that and

Incredibly grateful further at the same time and I hope to continue working with them for a very very long time

Sean did you have fun in your role in cool patrol?

Yes, That was so much fun that was under the cooler

I've had cool patrol for if you don't know is one of the music videos that ninja sex party did

Danny and Brian from Gamegrumps, they have their own musical

Outlets to be able to do their own stuff, and it's awesome. Love them

There's a coolest dude ever but he asked me to be in their music video

Cool patrol, and I played like a nerd turned cool guy based on their advice

And it was so much fun to do we were awake all night doing it

And then we went home and had to sleep at like 8 o'clock in the morning

But it was just so much fun to be part of I love getting to see how everything comes together the shots the way they

Were lined up the cameras that were used the makeup people the costumes the choreography?

All those types of things how everything comes together was just such a blast

to be a part of it was a really cool experience and one that I probably won't forget for a very very long time if

Ever so I'm endlessly grateful for those guys for letting me be part of that. I hate morning people at morning and people

People and we've shown that regard except I love people people are awesome, but the morning thing yeah, I'm not a fan of those

Because whatever I have to go to sleep. Yes, I know Ravens run away, and all that good stuff, but I

Hate going to sleep absolutely hate it because I feel like I should be still awake doing stuff getting shit done

When I go to sleep, I feel like I'm wasting my own time even though my body fucking needs whatever

But then when I'm in bed, and I wake up in the morning

I don't want to get out a bit because I don't know my body

Just doesn't want to move my body just know what it wants to do like

Oh, I don't want to go to sleep. Okay. Fine. We will oh, we're asleep. Hey, we're not fucking waking up. I hate it

It's so annoying and I really wish I was one of those morning people who could just wake up and be a spring chicken

just bounced around the place and

Then I drink coffee, and it has no effect on me because coffee doesn't do anything to me anymore

Strangely, so I don't know it takes me a while

It's just like wake up and do things when dad goes to Starbucks does he make them right Jack or Shawn?

I actually make them right shot because that's my actual name

Can you spend a little less time for each comment jack so you can read more like so Jack and Cedars by the way you?

The best Jack me spending less time on each comment probably wouldn't make me put more comments into the video

I don't want the videos to just be like bang bang bang bang bang common common common common

just for the sake of more people being in the video, but

That does its own charm to it

That's nice and all but I'd rather have the to be something that I can actually talk about sometimes

There's quickfire episodes and sometimes there's quickfire comments because it breaks up the pacing and it's fun to do

But every now and then I'll break away into tangents and start talking about different things because that's what I like to do

That's why I like the videos to be and I don't want to just make the comments shorter

And you don't want to spend less time in the comments

And not give them the time that they need to actually get my thoughts aren't honest

Whether that be too long or too little depending on what you feel?

I'd rather just do it right then do it quick for the sake of doing it please break the boehner plan Tap back

First off it called the Boehner cast not the bone a podcast get it right

Secondly it was never really a thing the polar cast was a thing that me and Bob made up as a joke in

I can't remember. What game. We played together. We played something together alone. Just the two of us and

Then we made up this thing called the boner cast as like a little bit of a joke I can be the phone or cattitude

Like that would be the name of the podcast that you'd make and then in a proper episode

we brought it up again to

American wade and then we just kind of role played a little thing the keyboard cast or something that you calls into and then for

Some reason people thought that that was the thing people thought that it was an actual thing, and they're like well

We call into the boner cast again like I

Don't know how it just became an actual thing

Based on something that we were just dicking around with I mean don't get me wrong

That's cool, and all I would love to make it

I don't know if you'd get by with the boner cast because if it ever became a big thing

The Podcast is such a childish thing to call it

So I

Don't know it kind of just sprung apart enough and the people are still like do the boner cast when really the boner test was

Never an actual thing sean I know you get this a lot, but honestly you're one of the most down-To-Earth kind

humble and funny YouTubers I know of I

Aspire to be like you both on YouTube as a person both on YouTube and as a person

I don't watch every single one of your videos

But they appreciate your channel as a whole for its complete positivity

Compared to some of the trash share stuff on YouTube instead of bragging about how filthy rich you are

You use your influence to raise money for charity with your friends so yeah, you have a great personality

And you deserve all the love and support you're getting first off. Thank you very very much. That is a very

lovely

group of sentences put together in a very nice sentiment behind that and I really appreciate that that's

incredibly flattering and incredibly humbling at the same time that you think so highly of what I do in regards to the whole

Bragging about things that's never really been the way I

Act in life in General

I've never I talk about stuff that I'm proud of and it's something cool happened and talk about that and build that up

there's a difference between

Showing off and being proud of something

It's a very fine line now and then but yeah, I've never if I ever got something. I never really showed it off

I never really bragged about it

I feel like if I do stuff then I shouldn't need to show it off if it's good

then people will react positively to it, and they'll share it around and

Enjoy it and I'd be proud of it then because those things happened

I don't feel the need to go around and shove what I do in people's faces, or

To just go out of my way to try and show off to other it's especially peers

That's a Pitfall

I see a lot of YouTubers fall into is that they start off proving something's of themselves

making the videos and then people end up enjoying it so they end up proving something for the people who watch it and

Then it becomes the thing where they become so desensitized at the amount of people who are watching their content because numbers

Kind of all blend together and people just become faceless icons on YouTube something

I've always tried to Avoid falling into but then it becomes the thing about

Showing off and proving yourself to other youtubers or your peers or people who you deem are above you to try and prove something I?

Don't know it's a weird thing so I've tried not to fall into that trap

when it comes to youtube just be myself do what I do and

Just hope that people like it. So thank you there. It's comments like these that make it all worth it and make it feel like

it's selling out is not the way to go because this means a whole lot more than more numbers and

More money or anything like that could everyone so thank you

Just me or the jacket dog puke rubbed into his hair no offense by the way just wondering saying no offense of the in

Sentences does not let you get away with not offending people. That's like saying you're an asshole

No offense right, but you're just a straight-up dick

Like you can't do that. No offense, but your hair looks like dog puke

That that does not nullify what you said about my hair I

Mean yeah I get it. My hair's not as green as the once was yes, it's fading. Yes

It does not look green anymore

It looks yellow blah blah blah everyone keeps reminding me of this thing as if I'm not aware of it myself

I see myself in the camera every day. I'm aware of this

Like walking a dog puke is just straight-up rude check

Do you like your old recording space better or your new recording space don't get me wrong my own recording phase had its charm I

Was there for a very very long time and it gave me?

Actually some of the best times I've ever had on YouTube happened in that room

Not really because of the room, but during some of the best periods of my youtube life have been based in that room

But I love this room so much more for recording

It's way more practical the other one was a bedroom turned into a recording space whereas

This is what it was an actual like office space that I could turn into a recording space

and it's way more practical it just has the recording stuff in it and

It's just way more functional like the lights are in a way better place

I was able to get better lights the background is like all padded everything sounds so much better in here

It's just a way better place for actually recording whether it's a better place or better room aesthetically

That's very very subjective and people can tell me whether they like it better or not til the cows come home

But for me personally. I'm way happier in this room than I was in the other one check out

How do you determine how long your videos will be each time you record the simple answer is I don't I?

never sit down and say okay this video needs to be this long unless it's

Well, yeah

I guess I kind of like that regard because

It with the long lets plays because their own cut they're a bit of a different beast and they usually go to an hour

But when it comes to just regular videos the normal stuff that I upload day-To-day all the time

They don't have a set time limit

I don't sit down and record for certain periods and say okay that's going to be a 20-minute video because

It depends on the edits it depends on what actually makes it in I record for like an hour

And then it turns into a 20 minute video because there's a lot of useless stuff in there

There's a lot of stuff that doesn't add to the video

It doesn't make it more fun with us to make it more entertaining. It doesn't explain anything

It's just dead space that does not need to be in there. I think their software

I just don't speak for 15 minutes because I'm grinding at something that needs to happen

So I never determined how long the video is going to be it just so happens that I

Seem to have hit the stride of because I've done it

So often that I kind of know what needs to go into the video I kind of know the beats

I kind of know what needs to be cut out

I know

Where I need to stop talking because this is going to be a section that goes on too long

And then when it's added it down it ends up at like

like 15 to 30 minutes long

There's a there's a sweet spot there somewhere

But the kind of averages out to be all the time, so I don't plan it out. It. Just kind of happened

I hate printed spiders. They suck no dizzy spinners. Do not suck. They spin

I mean sure if you spin the parrot enough they might create some sort of suction vortex in the air

But then they'd be called fidget soccers not fidget spinners. I'm not here for just jack. I'm here for you guys, too

You're my second family. This is another things that makes YouTube all worth it

Is that because I started making videos and because I started just in my room alone?

And then all of a sudden this community built up around this channel that it's so much bigger than just

Me and my recording center anymore, and I love that

I love that the community is here not only for me to be able to

Talk to and to be able to interact with hi, and be able to upload videos for an entertain

But the fact that you guys are there for each other I mean

Probably more than that because that's exactly what I wanted to happen when I started off making videos

And everyone thought for a second that it would turn into something that I could do as an actual job every single day

I thought it would always just be a hobby

but because

So many people came and so many people were so great to not only me

but to each other this

Fantastic community builds up around each other, and I love that because that's what what kind of the lifeblood of the channel that?

it's not just me here yelling into a void and yelling at games and making jokes and

Swearing and screaming at things all the time there's an actual living community there that are so nice and so active and so interactive

That it just blows my mind, and I love that you have all found each other within that community

And there's always somebody out there in the community who's willing to listen to you as well. So thank you for that

I would just like to say I would like to marry you jack

But sadly your human culture forbids that a pelican and the human marry hey

listen

Kids call up Elon musk and tell him to get a Falcon straight to Mars and we live it up Vegas

I'll Bailey don't fucking swear. Oh

Irony oh the

Irony the Irony is too much. It's literally killing me Jake has anger issues

Only towards people who do not like pineapple on pizza. That's it. That's all

real talk though, I know I

Swear a lot, and I know that I scream at games and I know I give off this vibe that like

Is this weird thing that when I'm playing games?

Like look at the crash by the futures something happens

I like yell and swear and give out the crash and everything, but it's all part of the fun

I never I'm not actually

angry at anything that I play I said it before that if anything actually makes me angry when I'm recording it or implying it or

If I'm just doing anything at my computer. I like to step away from it. I don't like feeling legitimately angry

Because it pisses me off, but then there's a some sort of a sweet irony in that

Ago when I only get angry at things it just bums me out

It's not an emotion that I like to feel so whatever I think actually makes me angry. I'll just take a breath

Just brow something on the internet. Just play a game or something to let that subside and pass

But I don't actually get angry at any of the recordings that I'm making and you know what dudes

I think that brings us to the end of another reading comments video man. Have we come fire

Thank you guys for being here on this long

Intrepid journey through the countryside. I have no idea what I'm saying

I don't know why I'm doing an outer like this reading comments outros are weird

Because normally I do an outro reacting to a game. I'm like. Oh this went well

I like this mechanic of the game the train Gets Sort of like a review

synopsis of where I am in the game at that time or

The series or something or reading your comments on that long they have no idea how to end them anymore

So this has just become a some sort of pSeudo

Outro now, I guess at this point

But I still really really love recording them. Don't get me wrong. It's just weird to end them I

Don't know maybe I should give a default outro for reading comments video being like that was the comet hour

Thank you guys for submitting your responses the jack train is now leaving the station

Whoa on we go to the next reading comments adventure?

But thank you guys so much watches as one of you liked it punch the like button in the face

Boycott and hey, there's a rope

That they don't feel you dude

Yes, I know. That's technically how I end every video and that should just be the outro

But I'd like to have a little bit of a speech a little bit of a talk before

I just go straight into the outro because that's weird and

Impersonal I don't like that

Extraterrestrial works for the U.S. government, Val Valiant Thor, Stranger at the Pentagon, Val Thor - Duration: 8:06.

The landing on Earth of an alien in human form was first documented in 1957.

His name was Valiant Thor.

"Val" landed a small craft in a farmer's field in Virginia.

He and his crew were met by two police officers from Alexandria, who drew their weapons.

Commander Val avoided conflict.

He communicated to the officers his true intentions without speaking a word.

Instead he used telepathy.

Valiant Thor requested a meeting with the leader of the free world, who was also a hero

of the second world war, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

But the "space emissary" was brought first to the Pentagon for examination by the military.

His uniform, which was all of one piece, was confiscated.

He was provided with clothing made in America.

The bright silver spacesuit was then tested separately.

Even though his boots were part of the single piece uniform, the garment "weighed in" at

only six ounces.

The fabric was unknown.

It withstood every attempt to penetrate it.

The material had no seam and could not be cut by shears or knife.

The military doused it with acid, which rolled off of the uniform, burning a hole in the

floor.

It resisted being drilled with a diamond bit, which snapped in half.

A high-velocity round was fired into it from a fixed rifle.

The garment was not pierced.

Val looked like a man, at six feet tall and 185 pounds.

He was given an Army physical.

He had six fingers on each hand.

His heart was twice as big as a man's and his blood was based on copper rather than

iron.

One lobe of his lung was much larger than the other.

They tried to inject him with scopalamine, which was a "truth serum".

Instead of breaking the skin, the point of the needle broke.

The space emissary claimed a lifespan of five hundred years.

Val could speak a hundred languages fluently, some of which were alien languages.

The Army estimated his I.Q. at 1200.

In comparison Albert Einstein had an I.Q. just over one hundred and sixty.

The only way to get any information out of Valiant Thor was to grant him an audience

with the President.

He spoke with Eisenhower.

He met vice president Richard Nixon and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Val was a representative of an intergalactic High Council.

The council was concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weaponry on Earth, in that the

next world war might lay our planet to waste.

He agreed to assist the United States space program.

A furnished apartment at the Pentagon was provided for the alien visitor, where he lived

for three years.

His door was guarded by two Air Force military Policemen, but Val and his people have the

ability to pass through walls, or to travel great distances in the blink of an eye, vanishing

from one place and re-materializing in another.

In 1958 Commander Val and three of his crew members, who had taken the names Jill, Donn

and Tanyia, attended as a group a modest UFO convention held at the residence of Howard

Menger in High Bridge, New Jersey.

At this gathering several photographs were taken of the extraterrestrials, both in black

and white and color.

They wore period clothing in an effort to "fit in" at the human gathering.

These pictures came to the attention of Frank Stranges, a Christian evangelist who used

the photographs in his lectures as proof of the existence of alien beings who also believed

in God.

At one lecture he was approached by a sympathetic Pentagon employee, Nancy Warren who arranged

for meetings between Stranges and Commander Val.

The preacher would release ten years later, his account of these meetings in his book,

"Stranger at the Pentagon".

Stranges was not the only witness to the presence on Earth of Valiant Thor.

Upon the emissary's arrival he was processed by the nephew of Admiral Richard E. Byrd,

Harley Byrd, who between 1957 and 1963 worked for the Department of Defense, in a supporting

role on Project Blue Book, the Air Force program created to investigate reports of UFOs.

Today in Military History: 7/19 - US bombs Rome - Duration: 1:05.

Today in military history 1943

the U.S. Army Air Forces bombed Rome.

President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister

Winston Churchill wanted the people of Italy to

reject Mussolini's brand of fascism

and his dedication to Hitler.

Mussolini believed the Allies would never bomb Rome

and moved refugees and other civilians

into The Eternal City, but he was wrong.

To incentivize the Italian people to oust Il Duce

American bombers hit Rome destroying railways and roads.

But most importantly they shook

the Italian people's faith in their leader.

Hitler gave Mussolini and earful about his performance

in the war to that point and even positioned German troops

to take out the Italian troops

if Mussolini sought peace with the Allies.

But it hardly mattered on July 25th Mussolini was fired

by the Italian King and then arrested and then he was killed

by Italian Partisans in April 1945.

Arts Funding - Helping Games that Help Us - Extra Credits - Duration: 7:59.

The US government - through the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities - decided in 2008 that video games were a medium worth supporting.

Unfortunately a new budget plan currently brewing in Congress is set to eliminate arts funding.

The National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities are two government agencies that were founded in

1965. Though these departments may seem like conjoined twins they actually have different missions. The National Endowment for the Arts,

often shortened to NEA, offers support and funding for projects that exhibit artistic excellence.

Since its founding the NEA has given over five billion dollars worth of grants to art exhibitions,

theatrical productions, and art programs across the country. The National Endowment for the Humanities

abbreviated as NEH supports research,

education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities. Its purpose is to support the study of American history and culture and bring

that knowledge to the public. These, along with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

which runs PBS and NPR are generally what people mean when they talk about arts funding. In the last

decade, an interesting new thing started happening at the NEA and NEH; they started providing grants to video game projects. Now

I don't mean video games in general - the federal government isn't investing in the next Uncharted or anything -

but both agencies have supported

interactive media that deals with topics in their area. For example the National Endowment for the Arts has funded free

performances of video game music as a way to get kids interested in the symphony. It also gave $15, 000 to the annual

UCLA Game Art Festival which exhibits video games as art installations.

It's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of government funding, but that money allowed the

UCLA to provide stipends for visiting artists, print materials, and build an exhibition space that was more like an art gallery.

And that's really important because while most game exhibitions look like trade shows

removing corporate sponsorship helps the viewer to see the games as art and not just products. Then there's the National Endowment for the Humanities,

which has cut checks for games that deal with everything from

the history of religion, to the revolutionary war, to a virtual exploration of the Giza pyramids.

It's given especially heavy backing to Walden, a first-person survival game that explores the ideas of spirituality,

seclusion, and self-reliance in Henry David Thoreau's text. It also backed The Pox Hunter a game about a

Philadelphia doctor battling the 1802

smallpox epidemic. The Pox Hunter has special relevance in today's world since along with the disease the player has to battle public fears about

vaccinations which was a new and unfamiliar procedure in 1802. And can we just take a moment to recognize how

amazing all of this is many of us of a certain age still remember how in the 90s game developers had to go before Congress

to argue for games having the same free speech rights and protections as movies and books.

Still more of us will remember a mere six years ago when the Supreme Court decided that games were protected by the First Amendment, and

now here's the US government deciding that the medium has a positive enough cultural impact to warrant financial support.

I mean that is huge! That is a lot of huge victories for this medium in a pretty short span of time.

But government funding for the arts has never exactly been secure. Since the

1960s budget hawks have tried to reduce or eliminate

those programs and we are in the middle of another one of these pushes right now. The 2018

Congressional Budget currently calls for eliminating the NEA the NEH and PBS plus the Institute for Museum and Library

Services. All in the interests of cutting costs. Now we try not to delve into politics too often with this show

but these cuts have a direct impact on games, so we really can't not say something.

Eliminating the NEA and the NEH as well as the corporation for public broadcasting is penny wise and

pound foolish. These programs represent a tiny sliver of our government spending and

contribute heavily to our sense of cultural self as a country. Let's look at some numbers: last year the NEA and the NEH

each received $148 million dollars from the federal budget and public broadcasting received

$445 million and I know that sounds like a lot

but that money makes up only 0.02%

0.02% of the US government's $3.9 trillion dollar budget. Put another way, if the US budget was

$50,000, arts funding would account for only $10 and that comparatively meager sum does some tremendous good.

NEH funding is why we have Pulitzer Prize winning novels like 'The Color Purple' and beloved documentaries like Ken Burns's 'The Civil War'[.

The agency also gives grants to educational programs and libraries.

They're currently trying to collect and preserve an archive of early American newspapers,

which is vital for historians of the future and it might seem like those initiatives don't really impact games

but art has this tendency to feed other art.

Bioshock Infinite, for example, only exists because Ken Levine watched a PBS documentary called 'America in

1900'. When Team Bondi sent artists to get photo references for LA Noire, two of the archives they used were NEH grant

recipients. When we talk about arts funding, we're discussing the resources and future of our

creative economy. And the great thing about arts funding is that it benefits

everybody from the rich to the rural poor. For example look at the Houston based program called Writers in the Schools.

They use games and game design as a way to teach writing and they found that this is an

especially good way to reach

reluctant students. This year they received a grant to expand their workshops across the country and they hope to grow it further. And

increasingly, arts funding goes to online projects so that students can access art and culture and humanities resources wherever they are.

Initiatives like that are important not just for

society, but for the games industry. After all the young people who go through these programs may become the industry's next generation of artists, and

writers, and programmers.

Providing opportunities like that is an investment in this medium's future. So, what can you do to help protect these programs?

Well, you could call your congressperson

but put a pin in that for just a second first it might help to consider how arts funding, public

broadcasting, and libraries have affected your life.

We've included some links down below that will help you see what sort of programs the NEA and the NEH

have sponsored in your area.

Just put in your city, your state, and your congressional district, and you can get list of NEA and NEH funded

projects. Maybe play around with the search results a bit see if any local programs have benefited from NEA and NEH money. This will give

You some much more specific stuff to say when you do call Capitol Hill. And I know I've been talking about American agencies today,

but this doesn't just apply to Americans. A lot of places including the UK,

Australia, and Japan are currently considering cuts to their arts and humanities programs.

Some have already reduced those budgets. If you believe that these initiatives should continue make sure that your

representatives know. Don't like, harass them or anything, just make it clear that this is an important consideration for how you vote.

Arts and culture are an inseparable part of citizenship. They tell us who we are and

where we came from, and they show what we think is worth supporting. And since games have only recently been elevated to that circle

we should do our part to help defend it too. For our medium, for the ideals of arts and

scholarship, and for the young people who are one day going to be our peers. See you next week!

Thank you for all you've done guys. The Extra Credits team feels like an old group of friends and I know you have no idea who I am, but thank you. From the bottom of my heart. until next week old friend.
