FINALLY IT'S ON: Inspector General Makes Major Announcement That Will Give Swamp Rats Nightmares
the Justice Department inspector general is opening an investigation into
Republican charges that the FBI and DOJ were biased in their work on the Trump
Russia probe this move stopped short of fulfilling calls from many in the GOP
for a special counsel to look into the matter
tonight correspondent Peter Doocy tells us why some people see an inherent
conflict good evening Peter good evening Bret
these questions about whether or not the FBI's surveillance capabilities were
abused for political purposes ahead of the 2016 election are no longer just
coming from Republican members of Congress because the official with the
resources to root out criminal violations at the FBI has opened a case
the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now under investigation itself by the
Justice Department Inspector General trying to see if anyone in the ranks
broke the rules when convincing federal judges to sign off on the surveillance
of an American citizen inspector general Michael Horowitz says quote as part of
this examination the OIG also will review information that was known to the
DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an
alleged FBI confidential source Republicans alleged in the Nunez memo
that information from former British spy Christopher steel compiled in an
unverified dossier was key to that vice a warrant this announcement comes as the
FBI director Christopher Rea doubles the number of staffers helping sort through
documents that Republican lawmakers subpoenaed because they were so delayed
from 27 staffers to 54 ray writes that quote the actual number of documents
responsive to this request is likely in the thousands regardless I agreed that
the current pace of production is too slow by dramatically expanding the
number of staffers assigned to sift through documents Republicans want ray
is defying Democrats like the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee
Jerrold Nadler who recently said quote it seems that this subpoena is intended
to speed up that production to pivot the discussion back to Hillary Clinton and
divert attention from the chaos surrounding the Trump administration and
allegations involving the Trump campaign the order to beef up the bureau staff
assigned to help Congress came straight from the top according to a DOJ insider
who tells Fox quote senior staff on both sides of the street have met on this and
the FBI is getting called to the carpet the Attorney General is angry with how
slow the process has moved when it comes to requests from Congress to the FBI but
some Republicans still think sessions is acting like an Obama appointee I'm sorry
but attorney general sessions I don't see much of a difference between him and
Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder I mean what's the difference when you issue a
subpoena from Congress it's just a suggestion it's just a request there's
no no urgency that you have to hit it by the deadline these extra FBI staffers
now working to speed up their response to Republican requests for documents are
not just planning to produce information about Vice abuse they are also tasked
with finding emails and texts and memos about the Clinton's server investigation
as Republicans continue to probe why nobody ever got in trouble for that
Bret Peter thank you the Inspector General of the Department of Justice
announced today that the DOJ has opened an investigation into spying possibly
illegal spying on American citizens by the federal government law professor
Jonathan Turley will explain the legal implications of that brewing scandal in
just a minute but first to fox chief national correspondent Edie Henry who's
been following this all day for more details dead tucker great to see you
initially Democrats like Adam Schiff laughed off these allegations about FISA
abuse but tonight some in the Obama inner circle as well as former top FBI
officials like James Comey and Andrew McCabe may be sweating a bit because
this is heating up now with the Justice Department Inspector General Michael
Horowitz saying he's going to take a close look at it and remember Attorney
General Jeff Sessions had said he wanted Horowitz to handle this and and sessions
got a lot of heat from supporters of President Trump who said the Inspector
General would bury this and that this was sessions passing the buck again but
this is a sign Horowitz is moving full speed ahead on what Republican Devon
Nunez first revealed with his memo laying out how top FBI and justice
officials in the Obama administration got a warrant from the FISA Court to spy
an X Trump advisor Carter page most importantly call me McCabe and
other officials allegedly used former British by Christopher Steele's
anti-trump dossier to get that initial warrant without telling the judge that
the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign had paid for the dirt in that dossier
now Horowitz is already working on two other major reports including commis
conduct FBI agent Peter structs text messages and McCabe's unauthorized
leaked to the media we should note that just this very week there had also been
criminal charges filed in Minnesota in a separate case involving a former FBI
agent who allegedly leaked classified sensitive information and so the bottom
line is this is also part of jeff sessions crackdown on the leaking of
sensitive information of big development tonight tucker it sure is ed Henry
thanks for that juicy Jonathan Turley is a law professor at George Washington
University Law School in Washington joins us today professor thanks for
coming on thank you so it's I mean it's the gravest of all charges the federal
government potentially spying illegally on American citizens why only now is the
IG looking into this well you know there's been an interesting phenomenon
here a lot of people who have rightfully criticized those that want to shut down
the Special Counsel investigation right but those same people often belittle
these allegations about what happened in this secret court and it's a dangerous
combination to have a secret court that is based on a standard lower than the
Fourth Amendment that is totally secret and insulated from public review if that
court is also used for political agenda now we don't know if that's true but we
have worrisome facts that should be looked at and so whatever but I think is
missing in Washington is this sense of balance both sides should be
investigated these are troubling issues that are raised by both Republicans and
the Democrats what happened today is that we're going to be guaranteed that
there will be an independent investigation and whore which is the
perfect guy to do it I mean he knows the DOJ he's very well-respected and I think
that what we're going to learn from this process could help us in the future what
would he be looking at he's going to be looking specifically at that application
with Carter page you know many people made fun a president Trump when he said
that his campaign was under surveillance and people like former director clapper
said I would have known if there was an order of surveillance what turns out
there were multiple orders of surveillance and they not just the first
you suffered there clapper said that mocked the idea clapper has been caught
lying to the public before is there any way to read this other than as
dishonesty well I don't know what clapper was thinking of but what we do
know is that there was not just one but a renewal of these orders that's a very
serious question to look at when you have someone who's associated with the
opposing party's campaign for president now a judge did look at this and did say
that it warranted a renewal but that application while it said that one of
these sources was political in nature didn't reveal everything that the FBI
knew about the dossier that it was funded by the Clinton campaign that it
found that much of the dossier was not cooperated that there were serious
questions about the motivation and the fact that Steele himself tried to shop
this to the media and had told Anna justice official that he really didn't
like Trump and want to do everything he could that he wouldn't be president
those are material facts now does that mean that the court became an adjunct of
the DNC or was caught up in a political agenda we don't know but the point is
that the the American people have a right to know if this very powerful
Court was used for inappropriate or abusive reasons have you noticed since
you've briefly since you've covered and taught the law in the city for a long
time a decline in the concern over civil liberties of Americans in Washington you
know I have we've almost become numb first of all people have really low
expectation of their government now and that's a real shame but the FISA Court
itself has always been a concern for civil libertarians because of its
standard because of its insularity so when this scandal focused on the FISA
Court it was a huge concern because abuses in that court arm can be
magnified in terms of their damage yes because it is so insulated it is so
secret and it's capable of doing a lot more it without people seeing it than a
normal court I think it's terrifying essentially anyway professor thank you
for that shit thank you god bless you and God
bless america

Will READY PLAYER ONE Be Good !? - Duration: 3:04.
Before I tell you Why people will hate this movie Let me give you the rundown of what
Ready player one is.
Well its the Holy Grail of pop culture.
If you loved anyone in a sci-fi fandom, you will meet them again in Ready Player One.
It is a story of how all your favorite iconic characters come together in a land called
the Oasis, where Wade Watts is on a quest for Halliday's Easter egg.
But for some odd reason, the fans of this highly acclaimed book are not having the same
reaction when it comes to the upcoming film.The Critically acclaimed Novel created by Ernest
Cline is riddled with many references……Wait MANY references is an understatement, if you
were to take every inkling of a reference from either the 80s or 90s… this book would
be probably no longer than a paragraph.When this book launched in 2011 it was one of its
kind.
With a story mostly build on ideas and events based on our nostalgia of the past.
Ready player One produced this trend of entertainment taking what we love and putting a new spin
on it.
This for example created shows like Stranger things which is solely set in the 80s.
Stranger things would have been another show among thousands on Netflix that would have
gone unwatched and forgotten about, but with a beautiful mix of nostalgia that intertwines
with The show, it creates an interesting phenomenon of seeing these amazing characters surrounded
by things many fans grew up with.But if this book was so amazingly crafted and spawned
a new trend of entertainment why are people already taken a hatred to this movie adaptation
of the book before its even released.Well, we have seen the trailers and while it looks
beautiful, many fans of the book start see how cringey and reliant the marketing strategy
of the trailers really are.
And starts to expose the problems of using nostalgia as the narrative.
The movie seems like it will be jammed packed with easily spotted references that everyone
will understand, while the book had many references that everyone may not get, which makes the
instance you understand that reference so much more rewarding.
Many people are having a negative reaction to theses trailer because the references don't
feel organic, but rather forced and expected.
The overuse of these easily spotted references will end up pointing out how much the narrative
relies on the past.Unfortunately, this movie is also a product of nostalgic age of cinema.
Although many Fans expect to hate the movie there many people who expect to not only hate
the movie but also hate the book.
Some find the book to have some of the same problems they expect the movie to have.
In that the plot rely more on the references and less about the story and the plot.
The nostalgia plays as the man focus of the book with the author going on paragraph-long
explanations of old 80 or 90 references that really don't serve the story.
Many people believe the movie will suffer from the same pitfalls the book did.
But what do you think?
Is this just the fans overreacting?
Tell me in the comment section below and as always stay dominant !!!

Will Persistent Memory Solve My Performance Problem? | Intel Software - Duration: 2:15.
Persistent memory is adding a completely novel memory tier
to the memory hierarchy that fits between DRAM and SSD.
It promises to provide memory that
is larger capacity, affordable, and persistent
at the same time.
My name is Thomas Wilhelm and in this video,
we will show software developers how
they can analyze the application in order
to identify if they will benefit from persistent memory.
If you're using Fido today, the question
is if persistent memory will bring you some advantage.
Persistent memory can be seen as an ultra fast SSD.
The performance will only improve if the application
is [? currently ?] I/O bound.
The [INAUDIBLE] Disk I/O analysis is a great tool
to identify if the application is I/O bound
and can help to quantify the impact.
On the other hand, if you come from the top
and you're using DRAM today, when
does it make sense to replace it by persistent memory?
Persistent memory will have much larger capacity than DRAM
at a better price.
The [INAUDIBLE] memory consumption analysis
will help you understand where your application
is using memory and which data structures you might want
to move to persistent memory.
When you keep your data in persistent memory,
you don't need to reload it when the program or the system
is restarted.
This allows you to quickly suspend
your program or a fast restart during planned or unplanned
downtime.
But keep in mind, persistent memory
has high latency which might negatively impact performance
when you move data structures from DRAM to persistent memory.
The VQ memory access analysis quantifies
how much your application is impacted by latency.
Furthermore, it allows you to identify data structures
and functions that are sensitive to latency, which you might not
want to move from DRAM to persistent memory.
Persistent memory creates completely new opportunities,
being a hybrid of RAM and storage.
As you have seen, performance profiles
let you analyze the behavior of your workload
and quantify the impact that it will have on your application.
Thanks for watching.

George Will: Say goodbye to football. Baseball is the true American pastime. - Duration: 1:34.
I only write about politics to support
my baseball habit,
which every year becomes more
intense
and more fun.
One thing to understand about baseball
is it's very old.
There's a reference in the
diary of a soldier at Valley Forge
to playing a game of base.
Base ball was two words
for a very long time.
Wrigley Field.
Fenway Park.
They're older than the Jefferson Memorial,
the Lincoln Memorial,
the Supreme Court building,
the Golden Gate Bridge,
Hoover Dam.
Veterans of the Civil War,
men who'd been at Chickamauga
and Antietam
and Gettysburg went to see games
in Wrigley Field.
So first of all,
enjoy baseball because it's
woven, as very few institutions are,
into the entire history of the country.
Also it's just
about to ascend once again
because we're done
with the nonsense about the NFL
being America's great pastime.
The NFL's viewership
is down on television.
More and more Americans are beginning to realize
because of the concussion problem that
the human body is simply not
made for football,
and therefore, a lot of the kind of talent
that used to be
good at baseball
and good at football
and chose football
is going to rethink that.
And these kind of talented young athletes
are going to come back to baseball,
and baseball will resume
its rightful place as the,
definite article the,
national pastime.

Darren Lehmann Give Up : Will Resigns says in an Interview with News Channel, Press conference
2018
Darren Lehmann will finally resign as head coach of Australia at the end of the current
Test series against South Africa.
The 48-year-old will step down after the final Test in Johannesburg, which starts on Friday,
in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal.
Lehmann, who was cleared of any wrongdoing by Cricket Australia, had said on Wednesday
he would not resign.
Former skipper Steve Smith plus batsmen David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were banned for
their part in the scandal.
Lehman made his decision after watching emotional news conferences by Smith and Bancroft on
Thursday.
"After viewing Steve and Cameron's hurting, it's only fair that I make this decision,"
said Lehmann.
"I'm ultimately responsible for the culture of the team."
"It's been a wonderful experience coaching the Australian cricket team.
I hope the team rebuilds from this and the Australian public finds it in their hearts
to forgive these young men."
Cricket Australia announced its chief executive James Sutherland would speak to media at 2.45pm
BST in Johannesburg following Lehmann's resignation.

If I had no MRI activity, will stem cell therapy work for me? - Duration: 1:38.
If I was somebody who had no MRI activity, will stem cell therapy work for me?
I think it's much less likely for the reason that I mentioned before about the notion that
the stem cell transplants have two components;
the very powerful anti-inflammatory drugs to
suppress and oblate the bone marrow itself, and then the reconstitution of the bone marrow
with the stem cells afterwards.
So, in theory if you don't have measurable inflammatory
activity, then you've got less to benefit, potential benefit from the stem cells.
The types of inflammation that occur in different forms
of MS may be different in terms of where they occur.
So, for example, people with relapsing remitting MS may have more inflammation
around the blood brain barrier, the barrier between the inner lining of the blood vessels
and the brain itself.
So inflammation there causes holes in the blood brain barrier and
inflammation at that point, whereas the inflammation that occurs in some people with
secondary progressive MS may be beyond the blood brain barrier, so we may be having to
focus our attention on trying to treat that in different ways.

Will HSCT work for people who have secondary progressive MS? - Duration: 8:53.
Will HSCT work for patients who have secondary progressive MS?
So that obviously is one of the key questions and there are, it's a difficult question
to answer definitively at the moment.
So, one of the key general questions for us when we see
somebody with MS is how much inflammation does that person have and how much
evidence of neurodegeneration does that person have.
So what does that mean?
So in terms of inflammation we measure inflammation
– swelling, if you like – clinically by acute
attacks, relapses, and we also measure it to some degree with fairly rapid accumulation
of disability, where for example, one relapse
might merge into another.
In terms of MRI, then we look at the number of white dots on scans,
but we also look at something called 'enhancing lesions', which are areas where
the barrier between the blood and the brain has
been broken down and the dye, called gadolinium, which people are given, so usually
squirted into the arm, then that dye can leach through those holes in the blood brain barrier.
So that's acute inflammation.
Then neurodegeneration would be more along the lines of
people where they have a gradual progressive non-recoverable disability over time, so rather
than with a relapse where that may happen over days to weeks, then the accumulation
of disability with neurodegeneration where nerve
cells are lost in the brain and spinal cord, that
would happen over months to years.
You can measure degeneration to some degree using
other MRI techniques, such as atrophy, which effectively is brain shrinkage, if you like,
and reduction in spinal cord diameter, again,
because of a loss of nerve cells.
So, in an individual patient, there's always that
issue about does the patient have ongoing inflammation clinically and radiologically,
and do they have evidence of neurodegeneration, so for example, when you look at the scans,
do the scans looks as if the brain has shrunk to
a degree, or the spinal cord, or indeed, clinically whether the patient's had a gradual decline
over time.
And that's not just in terms of walking ability, but that might also be in terms of
upper limb function, for example.
It might also be related to, for example, progressive
problems with cognition, you know, with memory and concentration.
[02:59] So, the reason I gave you such a big preamble is because
all of the treatments that we currently have that
are licensed in the UK – and I'm choosing my words carefully – work on inflammation.
So they work on inflammation to reduce the number
of new white dots, the number of new enhancing lesions, and the number of new relapses
with a view to reducing short-term accumulation of disability from incomplete
recovery from relapses.
So you have a relapse, you go to the next level, you make some recovery
but you don't get back to where you were originally.
And the importance of that is that at the moment we don't have treatments which
unequivocally reduce accumulation of disability, neurodegeneration.
Now, you'll be aware that there have been a couple of clinical trials recently in primary
progressive and secondary progressive MS and those trials were set up
to determine, to reduce disability in patients with
progressive forms of MS and those studies were positive, and the question then is, does
that translate into positive longer term outcomes.
You can think of HSCT as being two components.
The first component is to give very powerful anti-inflammatory drugs.
Some of the conditioning regimes, as they're called,
include a drug which is licensed in its own right to
treat MS and others don't.
And so you get a very potent immunosuppressive effect, which is
good for clearing inflammation, and then you then infuse the stem cells to recover the
bone marrow and start producing the bone marrow
cells again, and with a view then hopefully that
you've switched off the inflammation.
The issue is whether you have an effect on the
degenerative aspects.
So having gone through all of the risks of the stem cell transplant, are
you going to have an effect on the neurodegeneration, the loss of nerve cells.
One of the – and admittedly it's a retrospective study
which looked at outcomes of stem cell transplants across multiple countries over a number of
years – did seem to suggest that a proportion of
patients with so-called progressive forms of MS may have had a benefit over five to
six years post-transplant from the transplant in terms
of accumulation of disability.
The key point to this is to choose the patients very carefully
and to avoid exposing patients unnecessarily to a
treatment that may not work, but obviously on the other hand, to not miss an opportunity
to treat patients where that condition may work…
that procedure may work.
[06:14] So, I think the short answer to the question is, there
may be some patients who will benefit, we don't
know who those patients are yet, that's why we need to do stem cell transplants as
part of controlled clinical trials to understand which
patients benefit and get as much information from those transplants and those patients
as possible.
So is it fair to say that this is very much a developing area and patients with secondary
progressive MS may well be helped in the future?
I think it's an exciting time for people with progressive forms of MS, period, at the
moment, because I think there are all sorts of different
treatment strategies which are currently under investigation as part of late stage clinical
trials.
We may start to think and label forms of MS in different ways, based upon the presence
or absence of inflammation rather than more rigid thoughts of secondary progression, primary
progression and so on.
And also start to measure the impact of MS much more holistically
than we did before.
Most of our scales at the moment are still based on ability to walk
and ability to walk certain distances and whether the person needs support or not.
We're now integrating much more outcomes in
terms of upper limb function, cognition, vision and changes in those aspects and measuring
people, as I said, much more holistically.
So I think it is a developing field and I think that
people with progressive forms of MS can be optimistic that there are going to be some
breakthroughs in the relatively near future, but they may be in other areas.
And I think one of the issues about clinical trials with stem
cell transplants is that by necessity you need longer
term follow-up.
So the bare minimum now that an international group of MS and blood
disorder haematology experts have suggested is five years, post-transplant, to draw even
short-term conclusions as to the effectiveness of the treatment.
We would obviously like the patients that undergo those procedures as
part of clinical trials to be followed up for much
longer.
Yeah.

properly you will lose right if there's a nail that I have to put in that ground
but I take the wrench and I hit it when the hammer was right there it still
comes down to the practitioner mm-hmm and you have to be good at your craft
and you have to love your if you don't love sales if you don't love it you have
no chance because it's so hard it's so painful there's so much rejection right
so those are the things I think about so technology's clearly enablers you
just said there that the person is equally important and more important
right and going back to I just apologize for jumping in but let me make it
perfectly straight if I go play Roger Federer right now in tennis and I've the
greatest tennis racket ever made like from taken from the Mars is new
like resources right and he took a John McEnroe 1974 tennis racquet he would
whip my like I'm crushing sales people that have every sales force every one of

this I would Peterson sales every day of the week there is another level the only
reason you keep seeing there isn't as you feel so exhausted about where you
are but life the universe or God is just testing you because there is another
level if this is good giant jump to excellence Giants start
good poor to good to excellence there's a level where all your dreams are
realized there's a level that you've always dreamed that it is real it has
not gone away but it takes that extra burst when you think there's nothing
left there's no way you've tried everything ten million times and you
keep going it's almost like God is saying if you keep hitting this wall
enough times I will see that you will not stop that you were filled with that
level of determination of faith and courage and then the door opens and you
get to that next level but most people don't know is the next level is just two
millimeters above and it's called outstanding ladies and gentlemen
outstanding what's it called what's it called what's it called
outstanding magnificent unstoppable extraordinary not excellent it's a
different level it's a level where you are not one of the best you are the best
you know what's amazing you only have to be to millions more than everybody else
and you get everything you get the joy the last day the fun in the family the
passion the economics the freedom the spirit it's all there what Jerry Maguire
called the quad baby all of it and it's just to
milanese above and most excellent people give up because they're exhausted and
there's some people go the harder I hit it the more I hit it sooner or later
it's going down I'm not stopping and when you do that enough it pops oh it's
broke do you understand I was broke when I was 25 dead broke I'm not talking
about financially broke let me tell you something no I didn't have any money in
my pocket I didn't have any credit cards nobody would give me credit okay didn't
have a driver's license okay 1970 Ford Maverick had a 1970 Ford Maverick no air
no heat no door handles the freakin floor was rusted okay
I lived in a 275 square foot apartment maybe 300 sqft if you count the little step out in the front door
paid 275 a month and I was late almost every month so don't tell me about your money
problems man okay don't tell me about where you were born don't tell me about
your bad breaks don't tell me about what your daddy did or your uncle felt you up
or something did some kind of weird thing too you know I'll ruin your head
or your sister abused you or whatever okay look we all got problems you got to
fix your problems now you got to get your money right so 25 years old I'm
like I'm getting my money right I'm done no more excuses no more crybaby no more
blame I'm getting my freaking money right if you want to be an inventor of
any kind of inventing and new you know a new service offering for customers or a
new product or anything the being an inventor requires because the world is
so complicated you have to be a domain expert I mean in a way even if even if
you're not the beginning you have to learn learn learn learn
learn enough so that you become a domain expert but the danger is once you've
become a domain expert you can be trapped by that knowledge and so
inventors have this paradoxical ability to have that you know ten thousand hours
of practice and be a real domain expert and have that beginner's mind have that
that look at it freshly even though they know so much about the domain and that's
the key to inventing you have to have both and I think that is intentional I
think all of us have that inside of us and we can all do it but you have to be
intentional about it you have to say yeah I am gonna become an expert and I'm
gonna keep my beginner's mind here's how you develop a passion it starts as a
minor area of interest you gain areas of interest by encountering a lot of stuff
so if you have encountered a lot of things in your life go out there and
encounter stuff go sailing go take a dance class go study neuroscience like
whatever it is just encounter a whole bunch of very broad diverse things from
that you're gonna get sparks of interest like oh I actually found that
interesting I want to learn more dive deep through engagement not through
pondering through engagement you're going to realize whether something is
gonna turn into an area fascination so as you go deeper into it you're gonna
either become fascinated or you're not if you're not fascinated move on if you
are fascinated then that's an area where you gonna ask yourself one very simple
question do I want to become the best in the world out of that thing if you do if
you want to become truly extraordinary in that thing then go down the path of
gaining mastery now the reason I think that it's wise to ask that question
going in is when you frame it up I'm gonna become the best in the world at
this immediately people understand the amount of time energy and wait that it
would take to become truly great at that thing and I don't think that passion can
happen unless you're becoming truly great at that thing that's part of
passion I don't think people are deeply passionate about something that they
really suck at and I'll give you an example I love video games I absolutely
love playing first-person shooters I learn a lot from them I get a lot out of
them I really just intrinsically enjoy the time it has
both that sense of eating a cake because it's just fun in the moment and it I
pulled from it life lessons business lessons I practice getting out of the
sympathetic nervous system into the parasympathetic nervous system it's
literally gamified so I'm getting better I have points I can you know have my
improvement turned into metrics it's all of it I really really enjoy but I won't
say that I'm deeply passionate about it I'm just not that good at it so it's one
of those things if I really wanted to develop a deep passion for video video
games and put it at the center of my life that then I would set down that
path of really practicing now this is like this is the most important thing
that passion will do for you which is it's gonna pull you through boredom it's
gonna pull you through the hard times and that's why it's really got to be
something that you just are prepared to become great at because when you're
prepared to become great there's just these insane moments of boredom
repetition and all of that and if you have this burgeoning passion coming out
of that that's what's going to give you the energy to get through it so it's
this symbiotic relationship between a developing passion and how hard it is to
actually really get great at something so the things you get great at need to
be something that is this developing passion so there you have it that's how
you do it and then that's why you do it my counterintuitive advice is just the
power of brute force and I mean that I think that it's always about
intellectualizing and thoughtfulness and listening to more podcast and reading
more books and all that I think at the end of the day like it is it is brute
force it is hard work it is an absolute unwillingness to to accept failure to
accept no and that's true with fundraising and that's true with
ideation and that's true with making a youtube video and you know in the home
of my 36 and the 18 years of my career I found that to be the one sort of
consistent the one constant through everything that in any in any version of
success it's been because of an absolute reluctance and of that sort of brute
force I will not stop moving until I achieve what I wanted to see and what I
want to achieve and every time where that identify as a failure it was
because of a lack of that or questioning of that
I think beam 1.0 is a very good example like our product failed but the company
succeeded and I think a lot of that comes back to sort of that absolute
relentless relentlessness 18 I think it was and I don't know if this was a
milestone or not but you I believe this is when he jumped a turnstile done some
trouble for that yeah did you tell people I was doing I was doing magic in
restaurants and it started as a waiter where I would do magic and then I people
want to come back and just see me doing magic so started walking up and down
Park Avenue I'm trying to get different fancy restaurants to hire not hire me
let me do magic to the people that were dining and then they would tip me as I
started doing that I started getting hired by wealthy New Yorkers to do their
parties and things like that one night I was I jumped over a turnstile and that's
when Giuliani was sweeping everybody so I I got locked up but as I was going
there I kept breaking out of the cuffs for the cops so they liked it loved that
by the way I'm Dana big actually they did it yeah yeah so
you're like hey guys these aren't working I'm Eeva how do they respond to
that yeah no no they're all good I don't I
think they know that I'm not really a threat but I don't you know so it's good
there's anyways they know they just have to go through the motions yeah so I get
put in central booking and central booking is crazy it's like everybody's
in and out of Riker's so it's like a tough room and you're being moved from
one cell to another and there's like 40 guys in there and I'm like man I'm gonna
get my ass kicked so they're the four biggest guys are sitting on the ground
playing spades so I walk up to them and grab the deck of cards from them I'm
like let me show you some like the you know they're they're ready to really
kill me ya and I start doing magic and then what happened was they started to
go crazy and these are the toughest guys in the cell so then the whole cell is
around me you know thirty guys or 20-some guys all going crazy and then
the guards come in and the everybody was reacting to me doing that like they were
all going crazy again I was like whoa so these people on Park Avenue be super
powerful people and then in prison these guys the reactions are so amazing and so
similar I want to show that so that became the impetus for the first TV show
which was called Street magic
