BREAKING: FL Governor Is Doing It To Crooked Sheriff's ENTIRE Police Dept – HELL YEAH!
In the past four months, America has suffered two major mass shootings from an outdoor concert
to a public school.
While the locations have been different, both seemed to share negligent failure in preventing
these tragedies from happening in the first case and a flawed investigation after the
mass loss of innocent lives.
While the Las Vegas massacre has essentially become a cold case, at least to the public,
Florida Governor Rick Scott is not going to allow that to happen to the Parkland school
victims who deserve justice in this scandal-ridden shooting.
The deadly attack could have been avoided numerous times before Nikolas Cruz even made
it to the school or even stopped once first started shooting.
It wasn't since cowards were running the show, as several Broward County cops and the
school's armed guard listened to kids be killed inside as they remained outside safe
from harm.
Leading this department of non-heroic officers is Sheriff Scott Israel who had a lot of skeletons
in his closet that have come out since the shooting, which may have played a part into
why this department failed to effectively do their job.
Rather than making excuses for complete failure or contributing in covering it up, Florida's
Governor Rick Scott is taking massive action against Israel and the entire Broward County
Police department.
As was just announced today, to ensure justice for these victims and the loved ones they
leave behind, Scott just called for the investigation into the shooting to be focused on law enforcement
for their negligent response to the shooting.This comes after news that not only did the armed
school security guard refuse to enter the school and protect the students and staff,
opting to hide outside instead, along with four Broward County cops who hid in the parking
lot as well, but EMT emergency responders were given a "Stand Down" order on arrival
to the scene.
All of these factors, which by choice or by command, played a critical part in preventing
more lives from being lost that day and are counter to common protocol in these situations.
One EMT who was among the first to arrive on the scene at Stoneman Douglas High School,
stated that the entire response was botched from the beginning.
He refuses to give his name for fear of retaliation, but feels it's important that he shares
what he witnessed.
The Blaze reports:
"According to the first responder, everything about the response was completely botched.
"Everything I was trained on mass casualty events says they did the wrong thing," he
explained.
"You don't wait for the scene to be cleared.
You go in immediately armed.
Retrieve the victims.
You can't leave the victims laying there."
"We were asking to go in.
Asking the scene commander to go in.
Why are we all standing around?
Why are we not having patients to treat?
Why are we not going into the building and retrieving these kids?
The response every time was law enforcement did not clear the scene and would not allow
medical personnel to go in," he added.
The EMS worker believes that if he and other medical responders were allowed to enter the
building as soon as they arrived, they could have saved more lives.
He explained he was willing to risk his life to save the lives of others and was very frustrated
over the situation.
The EMS worker stressed that he believes law enforcement made the decision they thought
was best at the time, but emphasized that he believes it was the wrong one.
"They should have been more aggressive about getting the victims out," he said.
What does law enforcement say?
With allegations that the Broward County sheriff's department botched the response to the shooting
— including its deputy stationed at the school, in addition to three other sheriff
deputies, not engaging the shooter and only standing outside behind cover — law enforcement
is in full damage-control mode.
There's a lot about Sheriff Israel himself that's come out since questions started
to surface, including having received a lot of questionable cash from a convicted felon
to fun his campaign, to his personal connection with Hillary Clinton, along with much more
in between, which we've documented here.
Israel has a lot in common with Clinton, including his propensity to apparently lie, as Florida's
Attorney General just accused him of doing to both her and Governor Scott about this
case.
After discovering his dishonesty in the details he provided about his department's response
to the school attack, AG Pam Bondi says that she now knows "a lot more" on the shooting
that she cannot say right now, according to BizPac Review.
This crucial and perhaps damning information will undoubtedly be revealed in the investigation
that Scott just called for.
Those who gave the directive to force others to go against what needed to be done to stop
the senseless bloodshed, or decided not to honor their oath to protect and serve on their
own that day need to be held accountable.
Thankfully, the governor is ensuring that happens.

The New Name is.... - Duration: 10:03.
Hey, oh, it's you boy Kenny and we're back with the video everyone has been waiting for
Anyway, let's get started
this video is
the video that yes
most all of you have been waiting for this is the video where I will look at my facebook account and
my youtube
video that I made about changing my youtube name
And I'm going to be looking at all of those see what comments we got and then I'm going to be calculating
Which name one so it's either going to be King Kenny captain Kenny or Kenny G
So one of those three is what it's gonna be
haha
So I know this may be a little weird, but you know
That's probably why you're watching hey
Okay, this is good and also my birthday soon, so
Hopefully I'll do a video on my birthday, and it's on a Sunday so no school on my birthday
And it's also the beginning of spring break, so
Perfect. Let's get right into it first comment by just me Anna
Captain Kenny sounds good to me, man. We got a vote for Kenny G. By Joe as a former
Classmate of mine
Chris Jeff
Or Kristin Hazen as some people know he has his own YouTube channel, so if you don't know him check him out. He's good a
lot of people can laugh and
Make fun of him no. I'm just kidding Chris don't take anything. I say seriously
I'm just kidding some things you might need to take seriously so Christian
He said King Kenny, so that's two votes. I don't know one vote
I'm getting ahead of myself one vote for a king can cheesecake to the max Stephens all Chen I wonder why he is that?
instead of
The typical you know
His new channel, I don't know why you didn't use this new channel, that's so weird
Don't think I'm angry okay, don't think I'm angry
He voted Kenny G. My mom said
captain Kenny
My dad said oh, okay, actually my dad had a very funny comment. He said I lied
the name Kenny G and
Look wait a spell like you know
Let's go over my facebook page
King Kenny by Jacob Watson he
voted for
King King he says all hail king Kenny, and I like that and that makes me want to be king Kenny
But every comment I see or makes me want to be that name and whether it's King Kenny Kenny G or captain Kenny
Yeah, so many names
Jared my future brother-in-law
he said
captain Jimmy
Hey
So that's well that's coming pretty close. I was thinking can't Kenny got more votes than that ah
Pat my
brother-in-law's said King Kenny marina Watson
Jake's wife, she said Kenny G mrs. Heath Stephens mom Kenny G
Yeah, like I said, I think I know which one I
Thought another stuff because you know
Okay interesting comment by Leena she said or captain Kenny, but it has to be a K
I know which one is gonna be I know it
You can tell me if I'm wrong if you actually know what it's actually gonna be and by the time this video is over
You'll know which one. It is obviously and that's the whole point of this video, so if you think I'm dumb and saying that
You're wrong. I'm just trying to warn you so that you don't forget okay?
capisce
Okay
Mr.. Heath
Voted Kenny G. So got another one what Kenny G
Let's see
Liana changed or just me an acai. I revealed your idea today
I'll talk to my normal voice. No I
Revealed your identity. I'm sorry. Yeah. Oh I did it again
Okay, let's get back to this so she changed her vote from what was it captain Kenny? Yes
Has one to kinking yeah, I don't think this is yeah, okay?
My grandma
My grandma mom for my mom sighs she said Kenny G. And I think she means like the saxophone player Kenny G
Yeah
When we're talking about this we're not talking about him we're talking about me, okay?
we're talking about it's not even spelled that way and it's all caps too and
Technically, it's supposed to represent my gamertag and the G will represent gaming if that's the name that gets chosen
Boy, we'll wait and see until the end, but I'm pretty sure you know everyone knows. What is gonna be
Ben Stuart or Benjamin Stewart, I don't know what you guys call him at school
I mean I call him Ben, but you know Kiowa County
We'll just leave it up to you. I call him Ben, so I believe everyone else calls him Ben
So you know he voted for Kenny G as well so and then the vote for Kenny G Bethany. He's
one of Stephens sisters
Yeah
She says she likes all of them, but she
Will go with captain Kenny, so all right captain Kenny. Let's get another vote in there since Lee and I changed her mind and
Ruined the vote system, I'm just kidding, I think a few people change their mind mr. Mr. Heath
He changed his mind - so I have - a vote so yeah, anyway. Let's get back to it
Okay, I'm gonna leave in this off with Jake's last one of his nice comments um
he says
But he's Ken. Eh, which this is my last name Hanes obviously
He says but he's Kenny H people
Kenny G
Doesn't make any sense why name yourself after someone else when you can be something new Plus look at the student
Yeah, pop
And also
What do you think about this so Steven Heath my best friend he says
In a comet it basically says my intro, but he uses the name he voted for and he says see it just sounds good
so
Does it sound good to you hey? Y'all? It's your boy Kenny G
right
That's gonna be so weird. I always said just okay, so
Let's retry that take - hey yo, it's your boy King G
Is that better let's see?
What the final votes our captain Kenny it got four votes. Thanks lianna for changing your vote
I mean obviously King Kenny would have had four votes if you didn't change it, but still
captain Kenny
four votes
Congratulations captain Kenny
But that's not the winner nor is king Kenny neither one one
um I
Think we all know the winner obviously it was Kenny G
We have fifty votes for Kenny G. So obviously Kenny G. One uh so yeah, anyway, that was
Pretty good Kenny G. Is the winner so I'll probably be changing my name to that after this video gets uploaded
So hopefully I will get this up video uploaded by tonight. That is my hope. Thank you for watching
If you enjoyed this video give it a big thumbs up like really big
Like so big that it might explode my channel
Uh, yeah
I didn't need to say that don't explode my channel I'd rather not explode because I'd like to keep it in one piece so that
Hopefully we can grow as a family, haha
Yeah, I'm weird
Hopefully, that's why you're watching me like a Saturday
Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video
signing out

Is Math Lessons for a Living Education Enough? - Duration: 44:44.
Good morning! Now you guys know three main things I'm going to repeat
them all throughout because that's what we do. First of all Math Lessons for a Living
Education. What is this video about? That's what it's about. A Charlotte Mason
inspired math curriculum that is blowing away the math market because there's
just nothing else like it and we're going to talk about it today and what
sets it apart. Secondly, if you are interested, you can get it there's a link
(below) where you can take a placement test scroll down will you see a big button
that says "placement test" that's where you're going to go and find out which
level you want to place your child at. It's not graded it's level based so that
you can find where your child is best going to fit and help them master the
concepts or fill in any gaps that they may have. Also if you do end up
purchasing there is a coupon code (below) that you can use for your purchase to
help save you a little bit because, you know, every bit counts. All right I'm
going to open up my video here so that I can see your guys' questions! Okay so I
was really really hoping to get Angela on with me so you could see her face in
the corner... But alas once again though we tried, it
is not working we have to test it out I think some time on our personal pages
because that needs to happen. But she's going to be replying to your guys' comments in
the comments below as well so I'm going to give my own personal take. There's going to be
times I'm gonna actually defer to her and I'm gonna ask her the questions
I have a list of questions you guys have given me on my Instagram as well as over
on Facebook and wherever else I posted it in the event so we're going to be
using these questions and then what I'll do is once I've given an overview and
gone through these questions I'll go through the live questions in today's video.
So grab yourself some coffee... it's gonna be fast paced, it's gonna be intense and
it's gonna be fun
all right I know 'give us Canadians some love' I'm giving you love from Canada it's
a winter wonderland outside but you have to buy the curriculum
get the PDF if you guys are in Canada, get the PDF version so that you can
download it use it for multiple kids and print it off at Staples, it's the
best and cheapest option for you it's cheaper than even getting an Amazon here
in Canada so just sayin', free tip the day for Canadians. All right so here we go
I'm gonna start off with the overview so here's how the overview is gonna work
Charlotte Mason inspired math if you are not familiar with Charlotte Mason it is
a philosophy of education based off an actual person who came up with this
philosophy of education and it basically takes in the idea of educating the whole
child not just their mind because we focus in education so much on the
brain let's focus on the brain let's "educate our children" the reality is
your child has to choose if they want to be educated. Anyone else have a child that
doesn't seem to be choosing to be educated? So we want to educate the whole
child we want to teach to and inspire the whole child because if we're not
inspiring our children all around then they're not going to be retaining what
we're teaching them because it's just random facts that mean nothing to them.
So the idea behind it is you are often you'll see Charlotte Mason homeschoolers
getting out there, involved in nature, stories, reading together, read aloud's
copywork, narration, it's this whole experience of education rather than a
workbook that you work through. So that is the idea behind a Charlotte Mason
curriculum and we're gonna see those philosophies embedded all throughout
this program. So as you can see I have all six levels in front of me this is a
Christian-based math curriculum. Okay? That's really important for those of you
that absolutely don't want any Christian content; this is full of it! So this is a
Christian-based math curriculum, first off. Secondly it only goes up to grade
six. I'm going to say this right now, or level six, I
guess you could use it for an older child if they're struggling you might want to
go back but it only goes to level six. It is not going any higher it's an
elementary based math program that's what it is. So we'll talk about what you
can use for the later grades for those of you that have been asking cuz that
question has been popping up so let's just, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna open
it up and I'm going to kind of read through a bit of the scope and sequence
of each one and then show you a picture in the beginning and a picture of the
end and what I want you to understand is that, if you, afterwards I'll post the
link to the actual event page where I was talking about this and in that event
I'm going to create a separate post for each level and you'll see a higher
resolution photo of these levels so if you want to see the scope and sequence
in depth then you want to go to that event and you can scroll through and see.
So I will make sure to post that link after but for now let's just take a pook
pook, pook, that's not a word! Wow. Homeschool win right here!
Peek! We're going to take a quick peek! Okay level one so scope and sequence. Are you ready?
I'm not gonna read them all, cuz, you know, we have lives. You're starting off with learning your numbers
okay they're gonna be identifying number zero to nine they're learning how to
write them they're learning how to form them. This would be you know really good for
Kindergarten/Grade 1 depending on where your child is at. There's a
placement test, like I said, online. You go to patterns you go to circles and shapes
you work with place value level one is really focused on place value and if one
of my kids pop in which does probably be long enough that they will I'll ask them
to bring me my iPad because I forgot about that I can show you a really neat app
that you can use so you're gonna build your own place value village so your kids are
kinesthetically, hands-on, getting to see and build using a place value
village so they can see it in action not just on paper. They learned the symbols
plus, minus, equals, they learn how to add they learn how to subtract and they
it goes into time, skip counting, tally marks, solving for an unknown. They're
learning about skip counting by twos, fives review of numbers and learn all
the way up to 100 so it really is a comprehensive program that's gonna take
them all away from number identification all the way to telling time knowing their
shapes knowing their numbers understanding place value as well as
addition and subtraction. And you guys place value is something that I think
often can be a gap so what happens in math is that we push our kids along and
they don't fully understand place value so now when we get into decimals and
fractions and all different sorts of things they're not grasping this concept
and it's affecting them in all their other math concepts so let's take a look
at the first page exercise one day one. They are going to be learning their
numbers and how to form them and we have to take our time with that. It's done through
copywork as you can see because a lot of kids do things backwards or wrong.
And every week starts off in all the programs with a story. So in the beginning
levels you're gonna read it with the kids and the later levels they read it
independently which brings in connections from the real world around
them so kids are actually building connections with these concepts rather
than just having to memorize them if they're
understanding how these concepts look in real life. Okay so that's... so then you
would have five days of worksheets/ lessons to work through to reinforce the
concepts that you learned in the story. So that's kind of the basis of it. I'm gonna
skip forward to the end so you can see fully and this is day 148 but it does
show you they're already learning true fractions and time so for those of you
that are thinking this is like Kindergarten level this is definitely
more of a grade 1 level. It is recommended for kids ages 5 to 7
and that'skind of the basis of what they're going to be learning. Okay
So that's level one, let's go quickly to level two and then I'm going to get into
the questions. Level two: what they're learning. And the reason I'm going through
this you guys, is because a lot of the questions is "is this comprehensive enough" so I
want to make sure you understand what's included in each level. Level two we're
reviewing: the first section of the book is going through review. We're going
into money, skip counting, addition, double digits plus double digits,
measurement, perimeter, telling time to the minute, place value
to the thousands, addition, carrying to the tens place, subtraction, borrowing
regrouping, thermometers, bar graphs, line graphs
pounds, ounces, measurement, subtracting money, adding money, word problems yeah
okay so that gives you a basic overview let's look on the beginning of the
program. I'm gonna take you here, okay so this is level two, recommended for around
grade two and for around ages six to eight. And then I'm going to skip forward
to the end of the book to give you an idea
of kind of where they will be. That's graphs, word problems...
sorry I'm just trying to find a good indicator page here. Measurements, um okay
here where they're learning about subtracting money! Okay so let's move
forward to level three. Don't worry you guys, I'm going to catch up on comments as well
after. Don't forget! If you're new and just joining on, Math Lessons for a Living Education,
coupon code (below) and share share share, comment, engage because I
will be choosing one person from this video to win one level of this math
program (giveaway ended). All right, level three starts off they're
reviewing and then it goes into column addition, larger numbers, larger number
subtracting, rounding larger amounts of money, division, multiplying,
area, fractions, um place value through the millions, estimation, measurement
concepts, introducing solving for unknowns, which as you guys know, when we say
solving for unknowns we're building the base for algebra, Roman numerals,
estimation, all that kind of stuff and then review. Okay so level three, the
beginning, is this one. And somebody said it only took their child five minutes to do
level three math which we'll go through when I go through the questions
but it definitely takes my kids longer than five minutes. So we'll talk about time.
It's not as long, it's not like it's taking them an hour for math
which I love. They can generally, if they put their mind to it, they can get it
done in you know 20 minutes-ish. Fill in the blanks, equals... I'm just trying
to find
Here we go... okay so level three towards the end
Level four what they're going to cover is review, new fraction
concepts, adding and subtracting like denominators, so now they're
adding and subtracting fractions, multiplication, carrying using elevens and
twelves, geometric concepts, steps of division with no remainders, larger
multiplication, division, checking division, division with a remainder,
so we're talking long division here guys, metric units of measure, mixed numbers,
adding and subtracting with like denominators, equivalent fractions,
decimals and fractions, relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents,
geometry. Okay so that's kind of an overview of what's included. Now I'll
show you, my son started off here, the level four. Okay obviously I've marked
this, so it starts off with review. So if this looks easy that's just because it's
reviewing, right? We're reviewing all the concepts that you would already need
to know. And then towards the end... I'll show you this one. So you're dealing with
fractions, addition ,subtraction, all that kind of stuff. Okay level four. Now we're
into the last two levels here. Level five scope and sequence. Level five starts off
with review and now we're working with two digit divisors, factoring, common
factors, greatest common factor, proper and improper fractions, changing
improper fractions, sums containing improper fractions, least common multiples, finding
a common denominator, adding fractions and mixed numbers with
uncommon denominators, subtracting fractions with common denominators,
adding mixed numbers... just basically: fractions fractions fractions with uncommon
denominators, adding, subtracting, really mastering. Multiplying fractions,
divisibility rules and dividing fractions, dividing decimals, making
change, and then review. So I'm not listing every single thing guys, just
an overview. So in the beginning, this is kind of where they're reviewing what
they're expected to kind of know at the beginning of level 5 which is about a
grade 5 level or for ages 9 to 11 and by the end... this is around what they're
doing. Remember this is still story based so they're reading their story but
they're doing it all independently and it's just helping them to build
connections with the lessons that they're doing. Now level 6 is the only
one that comes with a teacher's guide and the reason for that is because
lesson instruction is built right into the books so for level 1 and level 2
lesson instruction is built in. It's written to the teacher so that you can
read it and do it with your child because children who are in grade 1 and
2 are not reading independently. You have to do it with them anyways so it's
written to you. Level 3 starts off being written to the child so now they can
start to do it more independently and there's an answer key at the back of the
book. The pages are all perforated so you can rip that out if you want to. Now
level 4, 5, 6 they're all written for the child but level 6 is the only one
that has a separate teacher's guide. So in the teacher's guide it has your
student quizzes. It's also the only one that has quizzes. It has your weekly lesson
schedule and your answer key and solution manual so here's an example:
I'll just give you an example of a quiz in the beginning and a quiz at the end because that
will give you a good indication okay what it is at the beginning. Sorry. And let's
go through to a quiz towards the end. The word problems aren't going to show you a
huge amount, just words, but they're covering a lot in those word problems.
okay so this is level six. Now level six scope and sequence
and I'm going to then go right into questions and answers. They're working
with whole numbers, averaging, factors, fractions, review of
fraction concepts, adding and subtracting, multiplying, dividing fractions, it's
advanced fractional concepts now that we're going into. Decimal basics, percents
savvy shopping how it brings it into the real world... and I did one of those! If you
want to watch a funny video, go back and watch where I do one from level six!
Because, whooo! It really brings it into the real world ;)
geometry, maps, graphs, charts, units of measure so let's look at in here. Where
we're at beginning to end and then we're going to go into the question and answer
time. I feel like this is really important because the the main question that I've
seen repeated over and over is is this comprehensive enough and
I really want you guys to understand how these all work and then I'm gonna get
into how comprehensive they are. Okay here we go, question time. And like I said
I'm going to be coming back and looking at the comments as well. Here we go, on
Instagram I'm gonna name your Instagram name because that's all I have and if
you're watching you'll know your username. Becisdomesticbliss asked:
"How much work on money is there" most of what we're talking about in these levels is
adding and subtracting and multiplying with money. Where it gets into the
actual look of money is I believe in level two.
Possibly a little bit in level one as well um so there is some just like there
has to be with any math. For me I'm in Canada so I think you were you were
saying you were in Australia, if I remember correctly, and so that's always
an issue with you with US curriculums and I'm the same Canadian curriculums I mean I
want it to be Canadian money but the reality is is not too much difference
for me in the size of it and I just I just bring in our money and I lay it on
the table and they they go for it that way um so hopefully that helps but most
of it what you're dealing with once they understand the visual concept is adding
and subtracting and all that different stuff with money which should be able to
be applied to no matter what you're doing um okay so 5grubbies, which I
love your Instagram handle, said, "Is your daughter in kindergarten and using the
grade one book?" Yes she is. The reason for that is because she's a keener and she's
absolutely beyond ready. Now I showed you a picture from that was her book for the
level one and you'll see that her threes are backwards her sevens were backwards
often her fives are backwards so she's ready for the content the written work
is is challenging for her she constantly gets it backwards but here's a little
news flash so does my eight year old. My eight-year-old constantly gets his 7s
backwards his 5s and his 3s so I don't think that's necessarily a new
thing and that wouldn't be a reason that I wouldn't use the program. As far as
content and her ability, her pencil grasp all those different things she's
more than ready. She loves the stories she grasps the concepts very well and so
we dove into it. My four world will be five in the spring she would be eligible
technically if I was using that same philosophy to try it she's nowhere near
ready. So again that has to be based on your child. My five-year-old is more
even though she's kindergarten more in a grade one level in everything her
reading everything so I wouldn't take that as like an indicator that this is a
Kindergarten program. It's grade one content but it is working for
my kindergartner because she's advanced. okay pinkLola37 said, "There is only tests for
level 6 and I wish that there were tests for level 3 to 5." Now I'm gonna get
my own take on this but I would love to hear Angela if you could pop on on that
question and respond with what would you recommend for parents that want more of
that review they want to feel like they're testing their children I'm going
to talk about narration and how that plays in but I would really love to hear
your response to that if you have any recommendations for testing or for a
parent to feel that confidence that their child is fully grasping. So we're
gonna wait because I know she's gonna be tip tapping away and we're gonna wait
for her response on that and then I'm gonna I'm come back to it. Next.
Okay Fidelermommy which hopefully I'm saying it right guys said, "Would one
level last a whole school year?" Yes one level will last an entire school year.
let me open it up to level three okay so there's 36 lessons so every
lesson sorry I'm so distracted I'm waiting
this here um there's 36 lessons so you would do one less than a week so you're
gonna read the story at the beginning of the week new concept and then you're
gonna go through into your into your daily worksheets so hopefully that
answers that. It is enough for an entire year. It's a full-year curriculum, in this!
You don't have to buy five different things you just need to buy this, right?
Win-win! Okay here's what I'm going to do, level six. I'm gonna help tackle this question here and for all.
Level 6 and level 6, here is what I did. The questions I'll go
through 'I've heard they're below grade level' 'high level math are they prepared?'
'Does it adequately prepare children for higher math upper level math?' 'What do you do
past level six?' 'How are they prepared?' 'I've heard this not thorough
enough...' Okay. Over and over and over and over again so I'm going to answer all of your
questions at once, here we go. Here's what I did. I went on
First of all what I would personally recommend what I probably will use
unless I see something else, I've got a few years. Maybe some new math is gonna pop up, but
from what I see I really like the idea of Teaching Textbooks but I felt like my
children weren't getting a mastery approach and
they were missing so many things so this has been filling in so many gaps and is
building a mastery approach which I am way preferring and that's why we are
using this curriculum but for higher levels from what I can see that seems to
be probably what we will go to either that possibly Math U See, it might be
hard to jump back into I'm not sure for those of you that are asking what I'm
going to use for higher level, not a hundred percent certain, but that's
probably the direction that I'm going right now is Teaching Textbooks. So what I
did is I went onto their site and I looked at their placement test for for
grade 7. Grade 7 would be what you would do after level 6 and I printed it and I
compared the questions of what they should know before going into level 7
with what they are covering in level 6... par! Completely
point for point! In fact I also went and printed the pre-algebra grade eight
Teaching Textbooks quiz and honestly everything that I am seeing here is here (in MLFLE)
So is your child prepared for upper level math? Go and do the same thing I did
go and print off the the tests okay here is your the page from the placement test
for the grade 8 teaching textbooks okay then if I go to math here if you can clearly
see the dividing with fractions with mixed fractions multiplying I mean
they're doing adding decimals we're multiplying decimals here and then the
division that they're giving I don't even see division here... Oh! 44.45 divided
by 3.5 I mean there is much larger division covered in this one and solve
and check for the unknown. So take a look at this solve and check for the unknown
see right here if you can, I'll post it afterward if I can find it again. Alright, and
then here you can see the same things are covered in the level six and we're
not even at the end of this program so that question... I mean and Angela can
talk more to it about the approach and the design and all those different
things but I can tell you from a homeschool mom that's just saying, "Is my
child prepared?" it's pretty easy to tell. I went and printed off the test I looked
at the content everything that my child needs to know up to grade eight is
covered in the grade six and if you go and you look at the placement test
for level 1, grade 2, grade 3 at Teaching Textbooks or other comparable
math curriculum companies you will find it as comparable with the scope and
sequence that I showed you or told you about in these math programs. So again I
have to clarify that because I feel like this question is the main
question I'm being asked, "Is my child prepared? is this enough?" Yes it is enough!
It is enough, it is enough. And by doing less your child's going to retain more
than when you give them so much information and they're hammered down that
they can't retain what they're learning it means nothing to them and they hate
math! As opposed to let's give you a small amount let's teach it in such a way that
you master it and therefore you only have to do this smaller portion and yet
all the same content is being covered and you're well prepared for any other
math curriculum they're going into. Okay, mic drop. So I'm passionate about
that idea because that idea of people feeling like they have to do so much is
a huge problem in the homeschool community and you know where it comes
from is our own experience with school and we just can't get over it.
The public school expectations the idea that our kids need to be bogged down
with all these language arts and writing and reading and you know all those
things yes of course are important but there's a way to do it without that much
it does not have to be that much okay preach! I know, see my hands are going I'm
preaching. Okay simmer down. NikkiWMullins asked if the curriculum comes
with DVDs, no it does not but it doesn't need it! you're gonna read the story which
is engaging and then they're gonna do the lesson and older kids are gonna do
it all independently. Okay I'm gonna skip through all the upper level math
questions because I definitely covered that. Let's see, spiral or mastery Paula
asked. I found that interesting because I would say mastery approach because it's
fully you're mastering the concepts but I was watching some of the responses
from other people and I saw that Randy had commented, he's from Master Books
which is the publishing company that published the the new rendition of this
that's what else I was gonna say and I don't have a pen or I would write it down
cuz I'll forget. ok um he had said that somebody had reviewed it in the
education, school world and said that it was both because basically is a mastery
approach we're gonna master this concept together with the spiral approach of a
review built right in so as you're mastering you're constantly reviewing
and then you master something else but you're constantly reviewing what you've
learned so it brings in the best of both rather than being one or the other which
is awesome right you don't have to choose you can have your cake and eat it
too that's what I was gonna say see I've already forgotten I'll remember.
Not thorough enough which I've addressed "How does Charlotte Mason differ from public
school?" Public school if you're looking at homeschool styles is is traditional
learning traditional learning of what our culture tells us learning needs to
be where it's bookwork and you sit down and you just do all this book work and
all these worksheets and that's what you do you sit at your desk and you do your
book work and you're tested um whereas Charlotte Mason is different Charlotte
Mason is let's learn through life let's find ways of helping that speak to you
all around let's make it enjoyable let's make it relational learning and that's
what this math brings into it that relational concept of learning and I was
going to say something else about that - testing! Testing you guys. My own two
cents on testing and I know that Angela would agree with me here because it's built
right into this. The Charlotte Mason concept of testing is narration and what we mean
when we say narration is that your child has to explain to you
the concept. If I work with my mathematically challenged daughter and I
talked to her about place value and she's doing place value, she's doing it
correctly. She can say a number 1362 so the understanding is there but is the
mastery there? If I gave her a test she would get it right because she would
write that number correctly or she would understand the place value but if I say
to her tell me why you pronounce that why do you say 1000?
How do you know what each of those numbers represents? what is place value?
she can't tell me because she hadn't mastered place value. Did she know it? yeah she kind of
knew it and was practicing it but has she mastered it? Now if I given her a
test I never would have known that. It's only through narration when, and it's
built right into the program because it will say, 'have your child narrate to you
the connection between division and multiplication' what's the connection
between those? that division is basically just finding the missing number if you
already know your multiplication. Right? So it's finding these connection points
if your child can't say that because they haven't fully mastered what is
multiplication and what is division then they're doing it but they haven't
mastered the concept so rather than testing our kids which can bring stress
and anxiety to your child can make them feel like they're failing and it is not
the best way of finding and identifying where your child is at, we use narration
which helps us fully see in a very quick amount of time, it's fast I don't need to
set no timer and do no 20 minute quiz I can ask my child a question and based
upon their answer or lack thereof I can very quickly identify okay you've
mastered this but you're missing this there's a missing point here that you're
not grasping we need to reinforce this we, I need to do that part of your lesson
with you for a little while we need to go back to using or place-value village so that
you can really understand the concept behind this because I want you to master it.
Those are my two cents about for people that are concerned about testing and
again if my child is doing enough because in this program there narrating
throughout they are because they're mastering it. One of the things that when
Angela and I were talking about this of, "is this enough and how do we know that this
is gonna be enough?" is that this has a much longer track record than what
people think. People think this is a brand new program and it just came out
and you know because it's becoming so popular it's hitting the world kind of
thing and people are thinking, 'Well it's new it's not really tested how do we
know that it's enough?' but the reality is this is not a new program this was
published, Angela correct me if I'm wrong, but in 2010 Angela published it. It's
just that is now been picked up by Master Books and is being reformatted
and pushed out again and published under Master bBooks as the publisher so it's
been re-edited, there's a new version of it and it's awesome, color, bright
engaging but the program itself was already there and it has just
testimonial after testimonial after testimonial of children that it's
worked for that have used it all the way through so if you're concerned about
that to keep that keep that in your mind. "How does the cost of printing compare to buying
the books?" if you're in the US it is way better to buy the books. I mean that couple
dollar difference, printing is way more than that. But if you are in Canada then
I would recommend it's probably gonna cost you, if you do it in black and white
it's probably gonna cost you about eight to ten dollars or whatever to
print it and that's gonna be way less than your shipping cost so that's why I
say PDF. Use the coupon code (REBECCASFRIEND) and then print it at Staples here in canada okay so here are
his flashcards that he made so the same idea of he wrote a story for each one
and then he colored it and he illustrated it and he writes the entire
math fact this way so that there are memorizing the whole math facts rather
than just parts of it and then on the other side you write it up and down so
again visually when he sees that he's gonna do it like that because he's
seeing in both directions um okay here's another one that he made. Ii know you
can't really see super well. You can see his coloring though, right? um "There were
seven hummingbirds and two bears and there was nine mooses and the mooses
won." It's all about them building connection with those numbers though and
once he colored this and did it you guys oh my goodness, hi retention on these is
crazy so there's the flashcards um "Are there some kind of hands-on projects?" yes
there are there's a storyline that it follows and there's hands-on projects
in Math three in the beginning they are making... Well, for time I don't
know if you guys ever saw where I did an entire week, I think I did it with level two
I did an entire week with Math Lessons for a Living Education and we
pulled out... he was understanding time okay the concept of time, and so we made
an entire poster for it where we drew out circles and it was included in here
it told us what to do and said take a poster board and draw 12 circles on each
side and they had to make the cloth of 12 o'clock one o'clock two o'clock three
o'clock one side was a.m. one side was p.m. and then he had to draw pictures of what
he was doing at each of those times he rolled that up took it with him
everywhere he went. He called it his life plan from whatever that show is and
he loved it loved it! And he fully grasped the concept he understands time better
than any of my other kids because he did this project.
So yes there are hands-on projects included. It's a story based learning
that breaks it down. Even when they introduced word problems I was blown
away because before we even got into solving word problems we first talked
about word problems and the steps that we should go through of writing down the
different numbers or circling the different numbers that we're talking
about looking for clue words like how many are what's the difference of or we
can add or subtract it broke it down for us so when we got into word problems it
wasn't this huge hard thing it was okay we have a clear step-by-step process
we're gonna work through. yeah Teaching Textbooks is expensive the thing is I
that's why I say like as far as what I'm gonna use moving forward once we're past
level six at this point there were things that I really loved about it but
I just found that as far as the foundation and what was happening was
we had done almost an entire year of it and then we kind of took a
break for summer and we went back to it and my daughter had so many gaps she
hadn't mastered. She had been doing it but she hadn't mastered it and so we
were we were struggling then moving forward because there were so many gaps
in her learning. So because of that, this made a huge difference for us and we
have to continue with this specifically for her because she just has so many
gaps and we have to go through it really slowly so that she can help to reinforce
and build that mastery because there's no point pushing them ahead you guys no
point you keeping up if your kids aren't there if they're not mastering it and we
are failing our kids by pushing them ahead for the sake of being at the same
grade level as their peers. My two cents. Talina, you're terrified of teaching? yeah
seriously you want to laugh? go watch my "Mom tries to do her child's math" I did
the grade six one and I'm glad I didn't do the fractions one I think that I did that
specifically because I would failed I would have failed. You feel like it's
teaching me in a way you never learned yourself. Exactly I love that yeah
With unschooling I think this works really really well because the idea
behind unschooling is child directed learning or
delight directed learning or having your child be interested in it and
passionate about it not just giving our children busy work for the sake of doing
it and because of the story concepts built into this it is engaging and your
kids will want to do it and therefore retain it so much more because it's not
this huge battle to get them to do their math. Yes it won't be an issue to switch
to Teaching Textbooks I mean like I said I did two placement tests and they are
well-prepared well-prepared to go straight into it so
what I found was so this curriculum will walk you through how to build your own
place value village with beans you don't need to spend a whole lot of money on
manipulatives right? It's everything that you have around your house but what I
found was that my space is so small in here it's like this little nook room and
I have no space that I'm working with plus my kids were playing with the beans
a lot so I was contemplating how to continue to use something that was not
that I didn't have a lot of space for and was making a huge mess and I found this really
simple app I don't know if you'll be able to see it because of glare but it's
called place value and it's just it doesn't go thousands so it's not perfect but it
has ones, tens, and hundreds I don't know if you can see it there and basically
what you do try to turn it down for glare is you tap one and it puts the
number up there four, five, six, seven, eigh,t nine, ten and you'll see once I get
to ten it turns red I don't know if you can tell that that's red so that means
that they can't fit so I need to move it over to the tens house now I've got one
ten, zero ones so they can actually write it down they can keep their charts which
looks like let's see if I have it here
but the place value chart they could take it out, here we go
and they could be writing it on their place value chart at the same time as
they're building it with the dots and then when they're done or you want to
reset you just swipe it up and it clears it, isn't that cool? so you can either do
this and build a number to see it okay 144 or you could have them build it and
count all the way up to that number if they really need to grasp the concept
where you're building all the way from ones and then a ten and then building
and then when you have ten tens it'll tell you that's too many and ten tens
you got to move it over to the hundreds house isn't that cool?
So it was 97 cents or something like that it's not perfect but it's a neat
solution if you are if you're chid's struggling with place value. Karla, "you
love it so much what other materials would you recommend to use with this a
learning clock?" it's all built into here so they make their own clocks you can
you can get a learning clock I mean they're like six dollars on on Amazon
that you could try where they can build it along with the lessons it's not
necessary though, everything that you need is at the back, there is a manipulative
section and you would rip out and you can laminate or just use and you can
you know, reinforce everything you're learning there. Of course there's
additional things that you can add to the program and supplement with but it's
not necessary. So it's a way of making it really affordable for families but still
adaptable to be used however you want to. "The best way to retain math facts that's
your biggest hurdle you practice and practice and she just can't remember"
that's our warning you guys five minutes and actually I'm gonna use this as a
warning that in five minutes I'm gonna wrap this up because I think I have
been droning for quite some time yes it's been an hour!
You guys you stuck with me for an hour! If you have been here since the
beginning you're amazing, gold star! So the best way to retain math facts are
these which again is built into the program. It will tell you to work on your
math flashcards your right brained flashcards where you're combining
the logical concept with the creative which is helping your
whole brain to see it as well as you're kinesthetically creating and you're
drawing and you're seeing visually so it builds in and then you're reading it to
yourself you're reading the story or you're reading the seven plus two equals
nine so it's all these connection points helping you to retain and master and
learn that very quickly because you're engaging all of your senses. The best way
are these math flashcards. If they're struggling with multiplication, do these.
If they're struggling with division, do these! They are the best way to retain
math facts when they can be engaged in part of it. It's time-consuming take your
time add it to every day of your math say
"okay we're going to two or three of these a day" so it's not too much and
we're just going to continually add to it and then every day build in time
working through your flashcards spend less time doing this and more time
doing this! If your child is struggling you're wondering about reinforcing you
know helping them where there are gaps and you're continuing to learn new
concepts you can either slow down on the math that you're doing or continue with
that but also do these which is built into the programs you should be doing it
all and if you're not and your child has gaps
it might be worth adding them it's worthwhile time investment it really is
because it's gonna help them master these concepts and it's just a little
bit of day don't overwhelm them a little bit, five minutes with your math
flashcards I want you to flip them around and teach them to your brother
five minutes we're gonna work on our flashcards today and add some new ones
some new ones that we learned or that you're struggling with. "Level six is
geared to what age group?" middle school age level six would be about grade 6
level the reason that we're not boxing it in with grades is because
every child is different and there's gaps and you want to go back if your
child has gaps you're taking that placement test and you're mostly ready
for this but not quite always better to go back always hands down is gonna build
their confidence and bring them an enjoyment in that subject and they can
whip through it fast if they want you and if most of it they get
gonna help them enjoy it a lot more so when they move on they're ready for it
and they don't have a bad taste in their mouth when they're considering that
subject. "Won't they get bored by going back?" again, dependent on your child
because it's not 50 pages, I'm exaggerating, of math that they would be
doing in a day it's a couple pages I would say likely no. Most kids are gonna
go through it and say wow two pages of this and they went through it really
really fast and then they're gonna hit something that they kind of struggle
with and they'll take them or you know they'll have to take more time with but
you can also skip you could skip to where it seems appropriate and I did
that with my daughter who we started a new math book because she fully had
understood everything of hers but we skipped all the beginning and because we were
starting in the middle of the year and we weren't doing a summer
break we didn't need to do all the review so we skipped all the review and
we went right into the new stuff. So adapt it make it work for your family.
All right, that's it guys! All the information I can possibly give you in a
short amount of time. We could talk all day about this and hopefully sometime
soon Angela and I can do a Zoom or a webinar about this where we can talk
from the experience of author and homeschool mom and you know bring it all
together for you guys and answer some of these questions in a different format
where you can see both our faces and hear both of our voices so that's it
that's all I have for you have an amazing homeschool day and I hope to see
you guys again whenever I go live next! Stay tuned watch my page!

The Canon 80D is STILL 2018's best Vlogging Camera! - Duration: 4:21.
so it's already February 2018 and if you're looking to start or even upgrade
your vlog game this year you've got to do it now
so what canon camera should you purchase to do so which one's versatile enough to
produce a vlog but still affordable say under 1,500 bucks let's find out hey
welcome back to espresso full mug media's value pack tidbit series I'm
your host Kane Nash and today we're going to be talking about why you should
be vlogging with the canon 80D, and if at any point during the show you're
curious about anything I mentioned, want to check out the prices or specs
individually of anything I've talked about check out the links in the
description I've got it all down there or our write-up of this video on medium
to start off we're just gonna run through the list of specs it's got a 24
megapixel aps-c sensor whoo not to mention that dual pixel autofocus with
45 points of autofocus this is a really big thing for vlogging it's got an
articulating touchscreen it can capture 1080p at 60 frames a second which means
you can do some of that buttery slo-mo not quiet hundred and twenty one-DX but
you can still do some pretty good slo-mo it's got a beautiful weather resistant
body and it's got Wi-Fi and NFC built in so if you don't have an SD card slot on
your MacBook or a MacBook you can just Wi-Fi drop the stuff to your phone now
just rapid-fire a couple of reasons I really like the 80D for vlogging reasons
I think it's superior it's got an extra headphone jack so that if you're
recording audio to use it later like say you find a street band you're gonna use
their music as the music for your whole vlog but you don't want to record crappy
audio you can plug in headphones and monitor what you're recording while
you're recording it to make sure that the levels sound good it's great, My T6i did not have that and when I upgraded to the 80D that was my favorite
feature aside from the 45 points of autofocus though that is just buttery
and amazing another thing I like about the 80D is it's heavy enough to get good
b-roll and by that I mean you can get good b-roll with like smaller cameras
like GoPros and black magics but for me there's something about the weight in my
hands and I have the battery grip on my Canon 80 d so I've got like some extra
weight going on there at a Joby Gorillapod like this one right here you
basically got a rod coming down off your camera to weigh it down so you can kind
of get those smooth cinematic movements without having to have things like
steadicams and gimbals always with you and obviously this is a no-brainer but
if you're somebody who's looking at something like a point-and-shoot for
your vlogging setup the reason I would say go DSLR above point-and-shoot is
interchangeable lenses you can do all kinds of stuff which means if I want a
really wide angle look I can use something like this wide lens right here
which is great for vlogging by the way it's the lens casey neistat shot
most of the vlog on to show way more of your surroundings to really make your
viewer feel like they're in the shot whereas if you use something like the 50
millimeter prime that we reviewed a couple of days ago you're gonna have a
lot less room to work with and also that's a fixed prime lens so you can't
like zoom you have to move with your camera to change shots and positions but
you can get some really really amazing creamy shots out of it like we talked
about in that video if you haven't seen the links in the description and article
links in the description we got all kinds of links people but anyway so if
you've gotten a little bit of extra budget I would go for something like a
DSLR that has an interchangeable lens system so in conclusion the Canon 80D is
still the best vlogging camera in February 2018 because of its amazing
autofocus that articulating touch screen and Canon colorscience
Canon color science if you're curious about anything else or want to go more
in depth I'll put some more links in the description or you can check out the
article write-up of this video on medium I will see you guys next time I hope you
guys liked the video please share it with someone who would get some value
out of it this has been full mug media please leave us a comment in the comment
section down below and we'll get back to you soon as humanly possible we keep
notifications on so we're gonna get back to you guys FOMA media don't play

BREAKING: FL Governor Is Doing It To Crooked Sheriff's ENTIRE Police Dept. - Duration: 5:05.
BREAKING: FL Governor Is Doing It To Crooked Sheriff's ENTIRE Police Dept.
In the past four months, America has suffered two major mass shootings from an outdoor concert
to a public school.
While the locations have been different, both seemed to share negligent failure in preventing
these tragedies from happening in the first case and a flawed investigation after the
mass loss of innocent lives.
While the Las Vegas massacre has essentially become a cold case, at least to the public,
Florida Governor Rick Scott is not going to allow that to happen to the Parkland school
victims who deserve justice in this scandal-ridden shooting.
The deadly attack could have been avoided numerous times before Nikolas Cruz even made
it to the school or even stopped once first started shooting.
It wasn't since cowards were running the show, as several Broward County cops and the
school's armed guard listened to kids be killed inside as they remained outside safe
from harm.
Leading this department of non-heroic officers is Sheriff Scott Israel who had a lot of skeletons
in his closet that have come out since the shooting, which may have played a part into
why this department failed to effectively do their job.
Rather than making excuses for complete failure or contributing in covering it up, Florida's
Governor Rick Scott is taking massive action against Israel and the entire Broward County
Police department.
As was just announced today, to ensure justice for these victims and the loved ones they
leave behind, Scott just called for the investigation into the shooting to be focused on law enforcement
for their negligent response to the shooting.
This comes after news that not only did the armed school security guard refuse to enter
the school and protect the students and staff, opting to hide outside instead, along with
four Broward County cops who hid in the parking lot as well, but EMT emergency responders
were given a "Stand Down" order on arrival to the scene.
All of these factors, which by choice or by command, played a critical part in preventing
more lives from being lost that day and are counter to common protocol in these situations.
One EMT who was among the first to arrive on the scene at Stoneman Douglas High School,
stated that the entire response was botched from the beginning.
He refuses to give his name for fear of retaliation, but feels it's important that he shares
what he witnessed.
The Blaze reports:
"According to the first responder, everything about the response was completely botched.
"Everything I was trained on mass casualty events says they did the wrong thing," he
explained.
"You don't wait for the scene to be cleared.
You go in immediately armed.
Retrieve the victims.
You can't leave the victims laying there."
"We were asking to go in.
Asking the scene commander to go in.
Why are we all standing around?
Why are we not having patients to treat?
Why are we not going into the building and retrieving these kids?
The response every time was law enforcement did not clear the scene and would not allow
medical personnel to go in," he added.
The EMS worker believes that if he and other medical responders were allowed to enter the
building as soon as they arrived, they could have saved more lives.
He explained he was willing to risk his life to save the lives of others and was very frustrated
over the situation.
The EMS worker stressed that he believes law enforcement made the decision they thought
was best at the time, but emphasized that he believes it was the wrong one.
"They should have been more aggressive about getting the victims out," he said.
What does law enforcement say?
With allegations that the Broward County sheriff's department botched the response to the shooting
— including its deputy stationed at the school, in addition to three other sheriff
deputies, not engaging the shooter and only standing outside behind cover — law enforcement
is in full damage-control mode.
There's a lot about Sheriff Israel himself that's come out since questions started
to surface, including having received a lot of questionable cash from a convicted felon
to fun his campaign, to his personal connection with Hillary Clinton, along with much more
in between, which we've documented here.
Israel has a lot in common with Clinton, including his propensity to apparently lie, as Florida's
Attorney General just accused him of doing to both her and Governor Scott about this
case.
After discovering his dishonesty in the details he provided about his department's response
to the school attack, AG Pam Bondi says that she now knows "a lot more" on the shooting
that she cannot say right now, according to BizPac Review.
This crucial and perhaps damning information will undoubtedly be revealed in the investigation
that Scott just called for.
Those who gave the directive to force others to go against what needed to be done to stop
the senseless bloodshed, or decided not to honor their oath to protect and serve on their
own that day need to be held accountable.
Thankfully, the governor is ensuring that happens.
what do you think about this?

High Blood Pressure: What is it? (Take Our Heart Disease Risk Assessment) - Duration: 1:31.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: Nearly half the adults in America
have high blood pressure.
But because it develops slowly over time,
many don't even know they have the condition.
The only way to know your blood pressure for sure
is by testing it with the American Heart Association's
guidelines.
There are two numbers in a blood pressure reading.
The top number measures systolic pressure,
or the maximum pressure your heart exerts while beating.
The bottom number is the diastolic pressure,
which is the amount of pressure in your arteries between beats.
A normal blood pressure reading is anything under 120 over 80.
If your blood pressure is higher than that,
have a conversation with your doctor.
If your numbers are ever over 180 over 120,
consult your doctor immediately.
There are some things you can't change
that can increase your risk for developing high blood pressure,
including family history, age, and race.
But it can be successfully managed through lifestyle
changes and medications.
To keep your blood pressure in a healthy range,
eat a well-balanced diet that's low in sodium,
exercise regularly, lose weight, quit smoking,
drink less alcohol, and manage stress.
By knowing your numbers and working with your doctor,
you can lower your blood pressure
and lead a healthier life.

Auction Clearance Rate: What is it and are there anomalies in the data? Chat with Jeremy Sheppard - Duration: 1:52.
Hi I'm Jeremy Shepherd.
I'm talking about Auction Clearance Rates, which we consider at Empower Wealth when performing
our research.
The Auction Clearance Rate is the percentage of properties that sell at auction compared
to all the properties that go to auction.
Not every property that goes to auction sells.
Some are withdrawn prior to auction, some are passed in at auction, some sell prior
to auction, some sell after the auction; and, of course, some sell during the auction.
If there are 5 properties that go to auction and 3 of them sell, then the Auction Clearance
Rate would be 60%.
A good Auction Clearance Rate would be 70 – 75% percent, or higher.
This is an indicator of a market where demand exceeds supply — and this is what we're
after as investors A poor market would be one where supply exceeds
demand, and you might see Auction Clearance Rates as low as 40%, or even 0%.
The Auction Clearance Rate isn't the only indicator you should look at for measuring
supply and demand.
It does have some anomalies.
Some states and territories around the country don't have auctions as frequently as others.
There are also cases where properties will go to auction if the property is, for example,
a deceased estate and the property must sell — so the vendor doesn't care so much.
There might also be distressed properties that are sold very rapidly, and so this can
skew the figures.
So you shouldn't rely entirely on the Auction Clearance Rate.
If you're interested in more metrics other than the Auction Clearance Rate, you can check
out some of our videos on the Research Page.
Thanks very much for watching.

Heart Failure: What is it? (Take Our Heart Disease Risk Assessment) - Duration: 1:26.
Did you know that heart failure affects six million Americans
and 900,000 new cases are diagnosed each year?
If you or a loved one is diagnosed with a heart condition
we recommend working with your doctor to monitor your ejection fraction.
Ejection fraction measures how well your heart pumps blood to the body.
It's an important part of setting and maintaining an effective treatment plan.
Let's break it down.
A normal ejection fraction is when 50 to 70 percent of the blood
in the heart's chamber is pumped out during each contraction.
But reduced ejection fraction occurs when less than 40 percent of the blood is pumped out to the body.
Reduced ejection fraction is also called reduced EF or systolic heart failure.
Warning signs of systolic heart failure include
shortness of breath, fatigue and impaired exercise tolerance.
The good news?
You and your doctor can improve your heart's ejection fraction
and overall health in a variety of ways.
While ejection fraction is a good gauge of heart health,
it is not the only indication of a heart abnormality.
It's important to monitor your body
and report any uncomfortable feelings to your doctor.
Managing your heart health can be tricky,
but we're here to make life… and fractions… easier.

Phu Quoc, Vietnam - Is It Better Than Phuket? - Duration: 5:04.
so I'm in Phu Quoc Vietnam and I'm on the beach really nice beach here only
small problem is you've got a lot of Vietnamese getting drunk at the moment
it's on a Sunday and it's their day off so it's kind of their only chance to get
drunk so it does get a little bit noisy at times anyway I want to answer the
question is phu Quoc better than Phuket I spend about 6 months of the year in
Phuket so I know it really well I've only been here about 3 days I was going
to come here last year and I read that it's a bit of a building site and it's a
bit boring so I didn't come and then this year I read a bit more I read some
things that said it was like paradise and it's the new Phuket so I thought I'd
come down here and just see which is I walked a lot a few kilometers all up and
down the different beaches and I got a motorbike out yesterday and I've got
that today as well and I did about 50 kilometers around the
island I will say the positives afterwards but I do want to talk about
the negatives first I think that they could make this a really good place it's
got loads of potential but they really are doing it wrong the first thing about
it is whereas in Phuket you can pretty much drive right around the edge of the
island and just look at the beaches you got some fantastic views as you go up
and down the hills you can actually see the beaches you can see the bays and
that's what I really like about Phuket but here you can't do that when you're
driving you can't see the sea the nearest it comes along this Beach which
is on the west is about 300 metres away from the sea so you have to keep going
down different places to try and see it and on the other side it's a few
kilometers from the sea so you've got to go down maybe three or four kilometres
down the road just to sea if the beach is good or not and you haven't got those
views the other thing they're building along the south part of the west coast
they're building these really big complexes and they're right next to the
sea and then they're blocked off so the actual beaches are public but you can't
get to them because they're blocked off by these different complexes that
they're building and they are just at the moment construction sites
especially where I'm staying you can't even really get to the beach the first
day I went down from where I'm staying to the road and then from the road
you've got all these hotels that kind of block the beach off so I went down one
and it says trespassers will be prosecuted
well the guard just kind of told me to go down there but it's not very good
it's kind of not easy the other thing is that there are a lot of places that
really haven't got character driving around the island there's actually
nothing on most of it so you're just driving along and you've
got fields either side there's a few cows occasionally but mostly it's just a
dual carriageway a few motorbike shops but no real character the only places I
saw with character were the port which looked quite busy and also the other
side of the river rather than the tourist market which is on the south of
the river it was quite good I drove the motorbike through the actual local
market and that was pretty interesting the place I would stay if you're gonna
stay here then I would stay near Rory's bar and sunset bar I think it's called
around that area and get a place near the beach then you can just really relax if
you want to relaxing holiday it's great you can just go to the beach and
then go back and then at night you can go to one of the bars on the beach so I
think that's fine and then if you want to go somewhere there are some islands
and I think you can get boats out to them you could also do some diving and
the other thing is to maybe walk around the port a little bit or go to the
market you could go to the night market which is on the south of the river or
you could go to the market that's the north of the river I didn't see many
foreigners there but it was more realistic it's the actual locals doing
the shopping so it's just more interesting for me I would say it's more
interesting rather than the tourist stuff so in general the positives I
would say is that if you want a quiet holiday and pretty nice beaches you want
to chill out then it is a place that you can come to I
probably would go to Thailand first but if you've been to Thailand a few times
then come here

Conversations with Jim Zirin - Is "The Post" Historically Accurate or Fake News? - Duration: 26:42.
♪ [THEME MUSIC] ♪
JIM: HI THERE.
I AM JIM ZIRIN.
WELCOME BACK TO MORE
"CONVERSATIONS." STEVEN
SPIELBERG'S "THE POST",
THE CINEMATIC DRAMATIZATION
ABOUT THE "WASHINGTON POST"
IN THE LANDMARK 1971
PENTAGON PAPERS CASE IS UP FOR
TWO OSCARS, BEST PICTURE OF
THE YEAR AND BEST ACTRESS
FOR MERYL STREEP'S EPIC
PORTRAYAL OF THE POSTS
PUBLISHER KATHARINE GRAHAM.
"THE POST" STRIKES A PARTICULAR
CHORD WITH ITS STORYLINE,
HIGHLY RELEVANT TO TODAY'S
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT WITH
PRESS FREEDOMS UNDER SUCH
SHARP ATTACK.
BUT HOW FAITHFUL IS THE FILM TO
THE FACTS OF THE PENTAGON PAPERS
CASE? IS THE ROLE OF THE
WASHINGTON POST
EXAGGERATED OR OVERBLOWN,
OR JUST PLAIN FICTION?
WAS IN FACT THE "NEW YORK TIMES"
AND NOT THE "WASHINGTON POST"
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?
WE HAVE JAMES GOODALE, FORMER
COUNSEL OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES,"
WHO HELPED DIRECT THE LEGAL
FIGHT IN THE PENTAGON PAPERS
DRAMA. BUT ALSO THE FOUNDER
OF THIS PROGRAM. JIM GOODALE,
WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU
BACK.
JAMES: I'M GLAD TO BE HERE JIM.
JIM: GOOD. NOW, LET ME ASK YOU,
DID YOU SEE THE MOVIE?
JAMES: I SAW THE MOVIE.
JIM: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE
MOVIE?
JAMES: I LIKED IT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ENTERTAINING.
I THOUGHT MERYL STREEP
WAS TERRIFIC.
JIM: TOM HANKS?
JAMES: NOT SO TERRIFIC.
JIM: STEVEN SPIELBERG, DIRECTED
IT AND HOW WAS THE DIRECTION?
JAMES: I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD
DIRECTION.
IT WAS A GOOD FILM BUT BAD
HISTORY.
JIM: BAD HISTORY.
THE FILM DEALS WITH THE DECISION
OF THE "WASHINGTON POST" TO
PUBLISH THE PENTAGON PAPERS.
MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT THE
PENTAGON PAPERS AND WHY IT WAS
SUCH A WEIGHTY DECISION.
JAMES: IT WAS VOLUMES OF HISTORY
EDITED BY LES GALB, FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL ON
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
IT WAS A GREAT HISTORY.
IT WAS HUGE.
THE PROBLEM FROM A PUBLICATION
POINT OF VIEW IS THAT IT WAS ALL
CLASSIFIED.
IT WAS ALL CLASSIFIED,
TOP-SECRET.
SO THE QUESTION BECAME -- IS IT
LEGAL TO PUBLISH SOMETHING THAT
HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED, TOP-SECRET?
MY ANSWER TO THAT, SINCE I HAVE
BEEN IN THE INTELLIGENCE WORLD,
IS THE CLASSIFICATION STAMP
DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.
I KNEW PERFECTLY WELL BECAUSE I
HAD STAMPED ARTICLES FOR THE
"NEW YORK TIMES" EMBEDDED IN THE
STUDY THAT I DID LIKE THE
PENTAGON PAPERS, THAT WERE TOP
SECRET.
JIM: GOOD ARTICLE.
[LAUGHTER]
JAMES: VERY GOOD ARTICLES.
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE TOP-SECRET.
WHILE THAT WAS MY POINT OF VIEW,
THE JOURNALISTS, THE OWNERS OF
THE PAPER WERE VERY CONCERNED
THAT THEY MIGHT GO TO JAIL, AND
I THINK THEY HAD SOME CONCERN,
NOT AS MUCH CONCERN AS THEY
THOUGHT, AND ACCORDINGLY, IT
TOOK GREAT COURAGE TO PUBLISH
THE PENTAGON PAPERS.
THE OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS FOR THE
"NEW YORK TIMES," A FIRM CALLED
LORD DAY & LORD, NO LONGER WITH
US, ADVISE THE PUBLISHER OF THE
"NEW YORK TIMES" THAT HE WOULD
GO TO JAIL, AND THEY ALSO SAID
IT WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE PAPERS
BECAUSE THEY WOULD GO TO JAIL,
SO HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH.
JIM: WE WOULD HAVE TO SHOOT YOU
IF YOU LOOKED AT HIM.
JAMES: BESIDES BEING SCARED
HE WENT AHEAD AND PUBLISHED.
JIM: LET'S PAUSE FOR A MOMENT.
THEY RECEIVED A LETTER OF
WARNING FROM PRESIDENT NIXON'S
ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN MITCHELL
TELLING THE "TIMES" NOT TO
PUBLISH.
JAMES: THAT IS CORRECT.
THE "TIMES" PUBLISHED FOR TWO
DAYS, AND THEN WE GOT THIS
TELEGRAM TELLING US TO STOP IT,
OR WE WILL STOP YOU IN COURT,
HERE IS THE STATUTE, AND YOU MAY
GO TO JAIL WAS THE IMPLICATION
SO FORTH AND SO ON.
JIM: SO, THAT WAS A DECISION,
JIM GOODALE, FOR YOU TO ADVISE
THE POWERS THAT BE AT THE "NEW
YORK TIMES," FORGET ABOUT GOING
TO JAIL, PUBLISH IT FIRST, GO TO
JAIL LATER.
WHAT INFORMED THAT DECISION?
JAMES: A COUPLE OF THINGS.
EMOTIONALLY, NIXON WAS AN ENEMY
OF THE PRESS AT THAT TIME, JUST
AS BAD AS TRUMP WAS.
SO THERE WAS A TIME TO MY TWO OR
THREE YEARS WHERE WE WENT
THROUGH A TRUMP SITUATION, SO IN
THAT FRAME OF MIND, YOU START
BUILDING YOUR DEFENSES IF YOU
ARE A LAWYER, WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
SO THE CONSEQUENCE OF THAT
EXPERIENCE, I BECAME VERY
FAMILIAR WITH THE FIRST
AMENDMENT.
JIM: HOW FAMILIAR DO YOU HAVE TO
BE? IT JUST SAYS CONGRESS
SHALL MAKE NO LAW BRIDGING
THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
JAMES: YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
SO, BUT THE FORMER ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES,
HERBERT BROWNELL, VERY WELL
RESPECTED, GOOD GUY, HE SAID TO
THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL YOU
ARE GOING TO GO TO JAIL --
JIM: THE PUBLISHER OF THE "NEW
YORK TIMES."
JAMES: YES.
I BECAME STEEPED IN THE FIRST
AMENDMENT AND THE BASIC CONCEPT
OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND THE
REASON THAT WE HAVE IT WAS TO
STOP CENSORSHIP OF ANY KIND,
PARTICULARLY FROM THE COURTS.
SO WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PENTAGON
PAPERS WAS CALLED A PRIOR
RESTRAINT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF
THE FIRST AMENDMENT, THAT IS
WHY IT WAS WRITTEN.
THAT WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED.
YOU ASKED ME, I KNEW I WAS GOING
TO WIN.
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE FIRST
AMENDMENT SAID.
JIM: YOUR ADVICE WAS TO PUBLISH.
JAMES: MY ADVICE WAS TO PUBLISH,
BUT I TOLD THEM OF THE RISK.
I DID NOT THINK THEY REALLY
LISTENED TO ME ON THAT POINT.
JIM: THE PAPERS THEMSELVES
REFLECTED BADLY ON THE TWO PRIOR
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS
THAT PRECEDED NIXON AND THEY
WERE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS.
WHY WAS NIXON SO HELL-BENT
IN STOPPING PUBLICATION IF HE
HAD BEEN THE CRAFTY GUY WE
ALL THINK OF HIM AS?
WHY DIDN'T HE SAY "LET IT RIP,"
THEN I CAN CRITICIZE JOHNSON
AND KENNEDY AND SAY IT'S ALL
THEIR FAULT.
JAMES: YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
HE WAS IGNORANT. HIS LAWYER
WAS JOHN MITCHELL --
JIM: WHO WENT TO JAIL LATER.
JOHN MITCHELL WENT TO JAIL.
JAMES: HE WENT TO JAIL, RIGHT,
AND HE HAD AN IMMINENT CAREER IN
NEW YORK OF BEING A BOND LAWYER,
AND HE CALLED NIXON AND TOLD
HIM, JOINING THE NEWSPAPER,
SO WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD
AND DO IT. BAD ADVICE.
THAT IS THE ORIGINAL REASON HE
DID IT IN LARGE PART, BUT HE
ALSO WAS GOADED BY HENRY
KISSINGER, BECAUSE KISSINGER
SAID TO HIM -- "YOU HAVE
GOT TO STOP THEM, OR YOU WILL BE
PERCEIVED AS BEING WEAK."
JIM: SO HOW MANY DAYS DID THE
"TIMES" PUBLISHED EXPERTS OF THE
PENTAGON PAPERS?
JAMES: THREE. THEY PUBLISHED
TWO BEFORE THEY GOT THE
TELEGRAM.
I TOLD THE "TIMES," IF SOMEONE
SENDS YOU A TELEGRAM,
YOU DON'T STOP PUBLISHING SO
THEY PUBLISHED A THIRD TIME.
THEN THEY GOT ENJOINED.
JIM: THEY WERE ENJOINED
PRELIMINARILY BY THE DISTRICT
COURT IN NEW YORK.
SO THEY STOPPED PUBLISHING.
JAMES: THEY STOPPED PUBLISHING.
JIM: AND IN "THE
WASHINGTON POST".
JAMES: AND IN "THE WASHINGTON
POST" RIGHT.
JIM: WHICH IS WHAT THE MOVIE IS
ABOUT. IT'S AS IF NONE OF THIS
REALLY HAPPENED. ENTER "THE
WASHINGTON POST".
JAMES: DAN ELLSBERG WAS THE
PERSON WHO LEAKED THE PENTAGON
PAPERS.
HE WAS A LEAKER.
JIM: BAD GUY!
JAMES: I DIDN'T THINK SO.
JIM: DIDN'T KISSINGER SAY HE WAS
THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN
AMERICA?
JAMES: THAT IS ANOTHER ISSUE --
HOW BAD ARE LEAKS.
THE PENTAGON PAPERS HAD 15 OR
20 ADDITIONS, SO TO SPEAK, OR
COPIES GIVEN TO THE RAND
CORPORATION.
THE RAND CORPORATION WAS
ADVISING THE GOVERNMENT WITH THE
U.S.-VIETNAM WAR.
HE COPIED THEM, WALKED OUT,
NOBODY STOPPED HIM.
HE STARTED SHOWING THEM TO
VARIOUS PEOPLE, HOPING HE WOULD
GET CONGRESS TO RELEASE IT, AND
HE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY.
HE, HOWEVER FAILED, AND HE GAVE
THE COPIES TO NEIL SHEEHAN --
JIM: A REPORTER FOR THE "NEW
YORK TIMES," WHO AT TIMES WON A
PULITZER PRIZE FOR THE
PAPERS.
"WASHINGTON POST" DID NOT.
THE "WASHINGTON POST" WON A
PULITZER FOR WATERGATE, BUT THIS
WAS NOT WATERGATE.
WEREN'T THEY WORRIED THAT
THESE PAPERS WHO AT BEEN LEAKED
TO THEM BY ELLSBERG WERE
AUTHENTIC?
JAMES: THAT WAS THE BIG QUESTION
FOR THE "TIMES," BECAUSE IF YOU
QUOTE ELLSBERG TODAY,
MOST PEOPLE KNOW WHO HE IS.
BUT THEN THE "TIMES" HAD TO
ASSUME THAT SOMEONE FROM THE
STATE DEPARTMENT HAD JUST PUT
THEM UNDER ONE'S ARM AND WALKED
OUT.
THE RISK WAS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT
THEY MIGHT BE FAKE.
SECONDLY, THAT THEY VIOLATED
NATIONAL SECURITY, SO THOSE WERE
BIG RISKS FOR THE "TIMES," WHICH
HAD TO DEAL WITH IT, AND IT TOOK
THREE MONTHS FOR THE "TIMES" TO
DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE.
JIM: WHAT ABOUT POSSESSION OF
STOLEN PROPERTY?
JAMES: I DID NOT THINK THAT WAS
AN ISSUE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAW, IF YOUR
AUDIENCE IS INTERESTED IN LAW-
JIM: WELL YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO
HAVE LAW, IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE
RELEVANT.
[LAUGHTER]
JAMES: IT SEEMED LIKE THE ONLY
LAW THAT APPLIED WAS WITH
RESPECT TO THEFT OF JEEPS,
INTANGIBLE PROPERTY LIKE THAT,
BUT NOT COPYING --
JIM: IT WAS INTANGIBLE PROPERTY?
POSSESSION OF STOLEN GOODS COULD
COVER INTANGIBLE PROPERTY, IF
IT IS A COPYRIGHTED BOOK.
ANYWAY, YOU DID NOT THINK THAT
WAS AN ISSUE.
[LAUGHS]
JIM: THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE TO
JAIL FOR POSSESSION OF STOLEN
PROPERTIES. YOU ADVISED THEM
TO PUBLISH.
NEIL SHEEHAN HAD SPENT HOW MANY
MONTHS OF WORK TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WERE
AUTHENTIC?
JAMES: THREE MONTHS.
JIM: HOW DO YOU DETERMINE IF
THEY ARE AUTHENTIC?
JAMES: WHAT HE DID DURING THAT
THREE-MONTH PERIOD IS ASSEMBLED
STAFF, COUPLE OF LIBRARIANS,
PUT THEM IN THE HILTON
HOTEL, AND THEY STARTED LOOKING
AT EVERY BOOK THAT HAD BEEN
WRITTEN ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR
AND THEY TOOK EVERY FACTUAL
STATEMENT OF ANY IMPORTANCE AND
TRIED TO CONNECT IT TO A
PUBLISHED FACTS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER THE PAPERS
HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BEFORE.
JIM: DID THEY FIND THAT MUCH OF
THIS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION WAS
IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN?
JAMES: IT WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL IN
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
JIM: HOW MUCH OF IT WAS FACT,
AND HOW MUCH OF IT WAS OPINION?
A LOT OF IT WAS OPINION, RATHER
THAN FACT, WASN'T IT?
JAMES: WELL, IT WAS HISTORY, SO
YOU GET THE FACTS PUT IN ORDER,
WHICH REFLECTS AN OPINION.
IS AN OPINION CLASSIFIED?
YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE
THE CLASSIFICATION BECOMES
REALLY RATHER SILLY WHEN
YOU'RE DEALING WITH PUBLIC
DOMAIN MATERIAL THAT IS SOURCED
THROUGH THE "NEW YORK TIMES"
AND YOU ASK YOURSELF,
AND IT WAS SOURCED THROUGH
"THE NEW YORK TIMES",
HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT COME
IN AND PENALIZE SOMEONE FROM
PUBLISHING WHAT THEY'VE
ALREADY PUBLISHED.
THERE ARE OTHER SOURCES.
BUT THAT WAS THE GUIDING
PRINCIPLE.
JIM: WHAT WAS THE GOVERNMENT'S
POSITION?
IT WAS THAT IT AFFECTED NATIONAL
SECURITY.
IT WOULD DO IRREPARABLE HARM
TO THE PUBLIC IF IT WAS
PUBLISHED, IT HAD CASES LIKE THE
PUBLICATION OF SHIP SAILING
DATES IN WARTIME, AND THE
SUPREME COURT SAID THAT COULD BE
ENJOINED BECAUSE IT IS
CLASSIFIED, AND WE HAVE TO
PROTECT THE STATE SECRETS.
WHY WASN'T THIS LIKE THAT?
WHY WASN'T IT SOMETHING THAT
THE PUBLIC WAS ENTITLED TO?
JAMES: THERE WERE TWO WAYS FOR
THE GOVERNMENT TO GET YOU.
IN THE TELEGRAM THAT THEY
SENT TO THE "NEW YORK TIMES,
THEY SAID YOU" ARE VIOLATING THE
ESPIONAGE ACT, WHICH BY
THE WAY IS FOR ESPIONAGE.
THAT IS WHY THEY TRIED TO STOP
THE "TIMES" FROM PUBLISHING.
IF SOMEBODY LEAKS
TO ANOTHER PERSON, THAT IS
HARDLY ESPIONAGE, BECAUSE THERE
IS NO DELIVERY TO A FOREIGN
POWER.
JIM: THERE IS NO OFFICIAL
SECRETS ACT, AS THEY DO IN
ENGLAND.
JAMES: THAT IS RIGHT.
WE HAVE A FIRST AMENDMENT.
IN THE U.K., THE BRITS DON'T
HAVE IT. SO THE
GOVERNMENT HAD TO ATTACK US ON
THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
IT IS TRUE THAT THERE WAS A CASE
THAT IMPLY THAT IF YOU PUBLISHED
THE DATE OF A SAILING SHIP, THAT
YOU COULD STOP THAT UNDER THE
FIRST AMENDMENT.
THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, HAD NEVER
BEEN DECIDED BY THE COURT.
EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS AN
ARTICULATION OF WHAT MIGHT
HAPPEN BY THE SUPREME COURT,
THEY HAD NEVER DECIDED THAT
ISSUE, SO THERE WAS AN OPENING
UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO
MAKE AN ARGUMENT, IN THIS CASE,
THAT YOU COULD NOT PENALIZE THE
"NEW YORK TIMES" FOR PUBLISHING
THE PENTAGON PAPERS.
JIM: SO YOU GET SERVED WITH A
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, AND
YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT, AND YOU
APPEARED BEFORE A JUDGE IN THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.
THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO
ENJOIN YOU, AND YOU ARE TRYING
TO RESIST IT, AND THERE IS A
HEARING.
WHAT HAPPENED?
[LAUGHTER]
JAMES: WELL, I FOUND ALL OF THIS
RATHER AMUSING.
JIM: YOU WERE NOT GOING TO JAIL!
JAMES: WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE
GOVERNMENT COMES IN, THEY PUT
SOMEBODY ON THE STAND TO SAY WHY
THESE WERE CLASSIFIED, THESE
DOCUMENTS.
AND IT TURNED OUT THAT HE DID
NOT REALLY CLASSIFY IT, HIS
GIRLFRIEND HAD
CLASSIFIED THEM. AND HIS
GIRLFRIEND HAD WORKED SOME
OTHER PART OF THE GOVERNMENT.
HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY HE PUT
A CLASSIFIED STAMP ON IT.
THAT WAS THE FIRST THING.
THAT WAS AN OPEN HEARING WHERE
THE GOVERNMENT LAWYERS CAME IN,
AND THAT WAS IN THE VIETNAM WAR
PROTEST ERA.
AFTER THAT, THERE WAS A SECRET,
MYSTERIOUS HEARING DOWN IN THE
BASEMENT OF THE FEDERAL COURT
BUILDING, AND THEY PULLED DOWN
THE SHADES.
THEY WENT DOWN THROUGH THE SAME
THING.
JIM: THAT IS WHERE WE USED TO
WATCH PORNOGRAPHY. TO SEE IF
THERE WERE PORNOGRAPHIC
SCENES.
JAMES: I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS
SUCH A ROOM.
I WAS IMPRESSED.
THEY WENT THROUGH THE SAME
ARGUMENT AGAIN.
THIS IS WHY THIS IS CLASSIFIED.
I SAT THERE LOOKING AT THE
JUDGE, AND EVERY TIME THEY CAME
UP WITH ANOTHER REASON, HE WOULD
LOOK AT THEM LIKE SAYING "WHAT
THE HELL ARE YOU TELLING ME?"
AND BASICALLY, THEY WENT INTO
THIS SECRET AREA, AND THEY
COULD NOT PROVE ANYMORE THAT
THERE WERE SECRETS IN THERE THAT
DAMAGED NATIONAL SECURITY AND
WERE ABLE TO IN THE HEARING THAT
PROCEEDED, WHICH WAS IN OPEN
COURT.
JIM: SO WHILE YOU'RE DOING THIS,
AND THESE PEOPLE ARE TESTIFYING
AND SAYING I DIDN'T DO IT,
MY GIRLFRIEND DID,
"THE WASHINGTON POST" WAS
PUBLISHING!
JAMES: ELLSBERG, GOT A HOLD OF
THE COPIES AS I STARTED SAYING
EARLIER, HAD A WHOLE GROUP OF
FRIENDS, THEY STARTED SHIPPING,
GETTING READY TO SHIP THEM OUT,
AND THE FIRST PERSON, THE FIRST
ENTITY THAT THE GROUP SUBMITTED
THEIR PAPERS TO WAS THE
"WASHINGTON POST."
THEY DID NOT GET ALL, BUT THEY
GOT A BIG HUNK FROM ELLSBERG,
CALLED ONE OF THE "WASHINGTON
POST" REPORTERS, AND THEY HAD TO
DECIDE WHETHER TO PUBLISH THEM
OR NOT.
JIM: WHAT STEPS DID THEY TAKE TO
SATISFY THEMSELVES THAT THE
PAPERS WERE AUTHENTIC?
JAMES: THEY DID NOT TAKE ANY,
REALLY.
I MEAN, THEY SPENT EIGHT HOURS
TRYING TO DO WHAT THE
"NEW YORK TIMES" HAD DONE IN
THREE MONTHS AND SO BASICALLY
THEY DIDN'T.
THEY TOOK THE FACT THAT THE
"TIMES" HAD PUBLISHED IT, AND
THEY COULD PUBLISH IT.
JIM: IN THE MOVIE, THERE IS A
WONDERFUL SCENE WHERE THEY SEND
A REPORTER POSING AS A DELIVERY
BOY INTO THE OFFICES OF THE
"NEW YORK TIMES," AND HE IS
ASKING IF THEY AUTHENTICATE IT,
THEY ALL SAID YES, HE
RUSHES BACK AND SAYS THEY ARE
AUTHENTIC, AND THEY ARE GOING TO
PUBLISH IT UNLESS WE PUBLISH IT.
DID ANY OF THAT HAPPENED?
JAMES: NO.
THAT IS ALL HOLLYWOOD.
JIM: I COULD NOT RUN INTO THE
PRESSROOM IN THE "NEW YORK
TIMES" AND LOOK OVER
ABE ROSENTHAL'S SHOULDER AND
SEE WHAT WAS ON HIS MIND.
JAMES: YOU HAVE TO GIVE
SPIELBERG SOME LICENSE TO MAKE
AN ENTERTAINING FILM.
BUT HE MADE UP SO MUCH AND PUT
THE WHOLE MATTER OUT OF KILTER.
IT IS HARD TO SAY THE FILM IS
AUTHENTIC.
IT MAY BE ENTERTAINING, BUT I DO
NOT THINK IT IS AUTHENTIC.
JIM: THE SCREENWRITER, MISS
HANNAH, SAID AFTER SHE READ AN
ARTICLE YOU WROTE IN THE "DAILY
BEAST" IN WHICH YOU DEBUNKED THE
MOVIE, SHE SAID THIS MOVIE IS
NOT ABOUT THE PENTAGON PAPERS IN
"THE POST" AT ALL, IT IS
ABOUT WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE AND
THE COURAGE OF KATHARINE GRAHAM
AND DECIDING TO PUBLISH.
WHAT TRUTH IS THERE TO THAT?
JAMES: SHE WENT ON A PROGRAM
AND SAID THIS IS A "WASHINGTON
POST" STORY.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES" HAS ITS OWN
STORY.
BUT WHAT ABOUT HISTORY?
IT DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH HISTORY.
WELL, "THE POST," THE PRODUCER,
STEVEN SPIELBERG, GOT HIMSELF IN
A REAL MESS WITH ALL OF THIS.
THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED IS
SPIELBERG PUT OUT A PROMO SAYING
THEY WERE GOING TO DO A MOVIE
ABOUT "THE POST" AND THE PAPERS.
EVERYONE SCREAMED AND YELLED.
NOW IT WAS NO LONGER ABOUT "THE
POST" AND PAPERS.
IT WAS ABOUT "THE POST."
THEN THEY SAID IT IS NOT ABOUT
THE PAPERS, IT IS NOT REALLY
ABOUT "THE POST" AS IT IS ABOUT
KAY GRAHAM.
SO SPIELBERG HAD TO RETRACT,
RE-DO THE THEORY OF THE
MOVIE. AND THEN, THE SCRIPT
HAD LEFT OUT THE "NEW YORK
TIMES".
THE SCRIPT THAT HAD KAY GRAHAM
ARGUING BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT, SO SPIELBERG SAID HEY,
THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE
"NEW YORK TIMES." SO THEN THEY
WENT AND HIRED ANOTHER
WRITER, WHO HAD DONE THE
"BOSTON GLOBE" STORY ON
SPOTLIGHT AND WON THE
PULITZER PRIZE. THE NEW WRITER
CAME IN AND ADDED ON THE
"NEW YORK TIMES" PART SO
IF YOU LOOK AT THE MOVIE,
IT STARTS WITH THE "NEW YORK
TIMES," BUT IT'S JUST AN
ADD-ON, AND THEN IT GOES TO "THE
POST," AND "THE POST" GOES
OUT SCREAMING TRIUMPANT
PUBLISHER.
JIM: SO IN YOUR VIEW, DID
KAY GRAHAM SHOW COURAGE
IN DECIDING TO PUBLISH?
THEY MAKE IT APPEAR IN THE
MOVIE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST
MAJOR DECISION SHE HAD TO MAKE
AS PUBLISHER OF "THE POST, BUT
SHE HAD BEEN THERE EIGHT YEARS.
SHE WASN'T NEW TO MAJOR
DECISIONS.
SHE DECIDED TO PUBLISH.
NOW SHE DID HAVE A PENDING
PUBLIC OFFERING, WHICH MIGHT
HAVE BEEN ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF
THE GOVERNMENT HAD INDICTED "THE
POST," OR IF THEY HAD TAKEN
TERRIBLE ACTION AGAINST "THE
POST."
SOME COURAGE WAS INVOLVED.
MAYBE LESS COURAGE-
JAMES: NO QUESTION SOME COURAGE
BECAUSE YOU ARE PUBLISHING
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, BUT THE
IDEA THAT THEY WERE ASSUMING THE
RISK OF GOING TO JAIL AND ALL
THAT SORT OF THING WAS EASY FOR
HER TO ASSUME.
AND THERE WAS NOT MUCH IN
THE MOVIE ABOUT THAT DECISION.
EASY?
SHE KNEW THE "TIMES" HAD DONE
IT, AND SHE KNEW THE "TIMES"
HAD DONE IT WITH LEGAL ADVICE.
THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM.
THEY WERE NOT GOING TO PUBLISH
SOMETHING THAT WAS FAKE.
THOSE TWO ITEMS, WHICH WAS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR THE "NEW YORK
TIMES," AND THE BASIS OF THEIR
DECISION REALLY DID NOT APPLY TO
HER.
WHAT DID APPLY TO HER AND NOT TO
THE "TIMES" WAS, AS YOU SAID,
SHE HAD A PUBLIC OFFERING.
IN THE MOVIE, IT WAS DEPICTED
AS PROVIDING MONEY FOR
REPORTERS AT THE "WASHINGTON
POST," IN OTHER WORDS, IF I DO
NOT IN THIS OFFERING, I WILL NOT
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO STAY IN
BUSINESS.
I DECIDED TO GO LOOK AT THE
OFFERING.
THE OFFERING WAS TO PAY HER
ESTATE TAXES AND ALSO TO PAY OFF
EXECUTIVES WHO HAD GOTTEN HUGE
MILLION-DOLLAR OPTIONS.
30 YEARS AGO, $1 MILLION WAS A
MILLION DOLLARS.
THERE WAS NO ONE TO BUY THEM
OUT.
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT THAT THE
TREASURY OF THE "WASHINGTON
POST" HAD TO BUY OUT THEIR KEY
EMPLOYEES, SO THEY THOUGHT OF
THIS IDEA WELL, WE WON'T DO
THAT. WE'LL HAVE THE PUBLIC.
SO THE PUBLIC'S MONEY
COMES IN AND BUYS THEM OFF.
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
JIM: SHE WANTED THE PUBLIC
OFFERING TO GO THROUGH.
JAMES: YOU KNOW WHAT,
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THE
PUBLIC OFFERING?
YOU KNOW WHY SHE DID NOT WANT TO
HAVE THE PUBLIC OFFERING?
BECAUSE THAT MEANT HER FAMILY
HAD TO GIVE UP SOME CONTROL TO
THE PUBLIC, BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
COULD THEN HAVE A BOARD.
SHE DID NOT WANT TO DO IT.
HER ADVISOR WAS A NEW YORK
LAWYER, AS WE ARE, SUPPOSEDLY
THE PINNACLE OF THE LEGAL
PROFESSION IN NEW YORK, FRITZ
BEEBE, SAID HEY, YOU HAVE GOT
TO DO IT, BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE
ANY MONEY TO PAY OFF THOSE
EMPLOYEES.
SO SHE DID NOT WANT TO DO THIS
TOO MUCH.
HOWEVER, SHE HAD AGREED TO DO
IT, AND SHE WAS TOLD IT WAS A
POSSIBILITY THE WHOLE THING
WOULD FALL APART.
SO THAT WAS NOT AN EASY DECISION
TO MAKE, BUT IT WAS COURAGEOUS
IN THE SAME EXTENT.
BUT IT WASN'T EASY.
JIM: OKAY, SO THE "TIMES" CASE
ROLLS ON, THE DISTRICT COURT
DENIES THE INJUNCTION
BUT THERE'S A STAY,
IT GOES TO THE SECOND
CIRCUIT. SOME JUDGES THINK
YOU SHOULD PUBLISH, SOME JUDGES
THINK YOU SHOULD NOT PUBLISH, SO
THEY KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD,
AND YOU HAVE THE GOVERNMENT
EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT IN THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT. WHAT
WERE YOUR EMOTIONS AS YOU
LISTENED TO THE JUDGES AND YOU
LISTENED TO THE LAWYERS
ARGUE THE CASE?
JAMES: I CANNOT SAY THAT I WAS
NOT A LITTLE SCARED.
THE SUPREME COURT IS SUCH A
MAGIC, A MAJESTICAL PLACE.
HERE WE HAD GONE FROM VIETNAM
PROTESTERS HISSING AT THE
JUDGES, CROWDS OF PEOPLE
FOLLOWING US, AND IT WAS A NOISY
TWO WEEKS.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU ARE IN
TOTAL QUIET.
YOU REALIZE THAT THE DIGNITY OF
THE COURT IS NOT GOING TO LOOK
AT THIS THING THAT YOU HAVE
LIVED WITH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,
AND YOU DID NOT KNOW HOW IT IS
GOING TO COME OUT.
JIM: THE ARGUMENTS ARE -- DID
YOU FEEL YOU HAD WON IT?
JAMES: I THOUGHT WE HAD WON IT.
I TOOK A VOTE WITH THE OTHERS
WHO WERE WITH ME,
AND OTHERS SAID YOU LOST.
JIM: WHEN YOU LEARNED, I GUESS
A FEW WEEKS LATER
THAT YOU'D WON THE CASE
7-2.
JAMES: 6-3.
JIM: THREE JUDGES WERE AGAINST
YOU, SIX WERE FOR YOU.
6-3, YOU WON THE CASE,
WHAT WERE YOUR EMOTIONS AT
THAT TIME?
JAMES: I WAS PRETTY HAPPY.
JIM: JAMES GOODALE WAS PRETTY
HAPPY.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, JAMES
GOODALE BECAUSE WE'VE COME
TO THE END OF OUR TIME, AND
THE QUESTION IS, IS "THE POST"
THE MOVIE FAKE NEWS?
JAMES: YES, IT IS.
JIM: JAMES GOODALE, THANKS FOR
COMING BY AND THANK YOU FOR
COMING BY.
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR MORE
"CONVERSATIONS."
I'M JIM ZIRIN.
ALL THE BEST AND TAKE CARE.
