Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

Or, the world's most persuasive argument for taking the stairs.

This movie scares the sh*t out of everyone.

But why?

It's hard to say what exactly is wrong with this place.

Is it haunted?

Is it all in their heads?

Is it possessed by the devil?

Tony?

Something about an Indian burial ground?

"You're located on an Indian burial ground."

Whereas a lot of traditional horror gives us an easy-to-understand reason to sh*t our

pants, The Shining deliberately avoids an easily describable premise - and this is part

of what makes it so damn horrifying.

"You like it?"

It deprives us of logical explanation.

Kubrick accomplishes this in a variety of ways, but I'm here at the Overlook Hotel,

to talk about one of the most surprisingly simple: "perspective".

One of the most effective ways to create a strong sense of perspective is through the

way a shot is framed and sequenced.

See, a shot can be objective, subjective, or fall somewhere in between.

Purely objective shots show us a scene "as it is," a God's-eye point of view, as

if we're eavesdropping or watching a play.

Subjective angles directly insert us into the action, showing the view from, just beside,

or behind a character.

Purely subjective shots take us directly into the eyes of a character, usually by showing

their face first, followed by their visual perspective or emotional experience.

It can also invite us to question what we're seeing, like an unreliable narrator in literature.

In this scene, we see a shot of Danny's face, and then a cut to the girls, then Danny's

face again.

With this simple sequence of shots, we are being shown the events through Danny's mind.

Let's see how Kubrick takes this basic principle of perspective to create an indescribable

supernatural feeling.

Consider the famous scene of Danny riding his tricycle through the hotel's winding

corridors.

"Alright, Danny, gimme some skin!

...Alright."

Using a state of the art piece of equipment for the time, Kubrick is able to achieve supernaturally

smooth movements to follow Danny, showing us the hotel from a child's point of view.

We follow Danny in a traditional subjective shot that emphasizes his experience navigating

a large maze-like hotel, but we don't follow him perfectly - watch how the camera lingers

after he's left frame… and then hurries to catch up with him.

One film scholar calls this "the wandering camera," because the camera ambles along

like its own sentient being, or here, an imagined monster stalking Danny through the halls.

This creates the sense the hotel is alive and watching Danny throughout his sh*tty vacation.

When the twins show up, — "Come play with us."

— we move more intimately into a subjective sequence of Danny's POV, flashing between

his bloody visions.

Danny covers his eyes, and looks again...

And now they're gone.

So, perhaps the girls are just in his head?

By starting with Danny's point of view as we follow him, but then shifting to to a possible

camera-monster's point of view, and then back to Danny's maybe unreliable own vision,

the film undermines our ability to interpret the events in front of us: whose point of

view is this?

Danny's?

The Hotel?

Some Demon?

Now let's consider Jack.

Is all of of this creepy stuff in his head, too?.

Did someone just spike the water with LSD in this otherwise normal hotel?.

Take this scene in the apparently empty Gold Ballroom.

In this scene, we go from a close-up of Jack, as he seemingly addresses an invisible being

— "Hi, Lloyd."

— to the reveal shot of Lloyd.

This subjective sequencing of shots could suggest that Jack is hallucinating.

And just when we're sure that this is all a subjective delusion, Kubrick moves the camera

backward over his shoulder, taking the shot from his direct point of view to a more objective

one.

From there, Kubrick gives the scene an objective reality by showing both characters in a shot

together.

Lloyd's the real deal… we think.

Until Wendy shows up, and the ballroom's suddenly empty, and we're left totally confused

and creeped out.

"Are you out of your f**king mind?"

So, what's going on?

We don't know, and the camera work makes sure we'll never find out.

Now, at times, Jack's point of view even seems to merge with that of the imagined predator

that was following Danny.

In this shot, Jack's view looking down on the model hedge maze blends into a aerial

view of his family wandering through the actual hedges.

This effect happens again as he chases Danny in the final scene.

See how the same kind of shot that used to be stalking Danny through the halls has now

mingled with Jack's point of view, further confounding the various supernatural elements

of the film.

When not using point of view to screw with reality, Kubrick also uses our perception

of physical space to creep us out.

How do you make a huge, otherwise normal hotel and present it as a claustrophobic nightmare?

Kubrick is famous for what is called one-point perspective, which adds to the cramped feel.

With "one point perspective", near-perfect symmetry draws the audience's eye to one vanishing

point at the center of the frame, giving the sensation that we're being drawn into the

shot, which is further enhanced by the tracking shot inward.

It feels uneasy, like the walls are collapsing inwards.

That's why, even though the Overlook Hotel seems like a spacious setting, we feel increasingly

cramped as the movie goes on, almost like: "A kind of claustrophobic reaction, which

can occur when people are shut in together over long periods of time."

By juxtaposing large spaces with much smaller ones, Kubrick is able to get the viewer to

really feel claustrophobic.

This starts with the opening shot of the mountain, which cuts to the shot of the family, clown-car

style.

Then we move from the large sweeping hotel lobby to the Torrences' small hotel quarters.

While the hotel may be large, the Torrences are trapped in increasingly smaller spaces

within it.

"Well, it's very... uh... homey!"

Eventually, Jack ends up locked in a fridge, Danny escapes through a tiny window, and nobody

has any elbow room.

Through these tricks in perspective, Stanley Kubrick is able to add a layer of creepiness

that evades simple description - and that's why The Shining is so great, and why film

nerds will continue to talk about it for years to come.

There is so much more to talk about in The Shining, so if you liked this video, let us

know if you want us

to do another.

And as always, thanks

for watching.

Peace.

Trump threatens to withdraw US from World Trade Organization: Bloomberg - Duration: 1:10.

 U.S. President Donald Trump threatened in an interview with Bloomberg News on Thursday to withdraw from the World Trade Organization if "they don't shape up," in his latest criticism of the institution

 Such a move could undermine one of the foundations of the modern global trading system, which the United States was instrumental in creating

 "If they don't shape up, I would withdraw from the WTO," Trump said.  Trump has complained the United States is treated unfairly in global trade and has blamed the WTO for allowing that to happen

He has also warned he could take action against the global body, although he has not specified what form that could take

South Korea's exports jump 8.7% y/y in August to US$ 51.2 bil. - Duration: 0:42.

Some welcome news on the trade front for South Korea.

The nation's exports in August jumped eight-point-seven percent on-year, thanks to strong sales of

semiconductors and petrochemical products.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy says outbound shipments reached 51-point-two

billion U.S. dollars last month, marking an all-time high for August.

South Korea's exports in the January-to-August period surged nearly seven percent on-year,

another record high.

Imports jumped nine-point-two percent on-year to 44-point-three billion dollars in August

for a trade surplus of almost seven billion dollars.

It marks the 79th month in a row that South Korea has posted a trade surplus.

U.S., Canada trade talks on NAFTA to resume next week after Trump remark leaks - Duration: 0:45.

A media leak of an off-the-record comment by U.S. President Donald Trump about Canada

has rocked the ongoing NAFTA talks in Washington, but officials say negotiations will resume

next week after the two sides missed the Friday deadline.

A bizarre set of circumstances played into the delay... after "off the record" comments

by President Trump to Bloomberg News were leaked to the Toronto Star.

Trump told Bloomberg he's unwilling to compromise with Canada on revising NAFTA.

President Trump later hit out at Bloomberg on Twitter, but said "at least Canada knows

where I stand."

He had given Canada a Friday deadline to agree to a NAFTA replacement after his administration

reached a preliminary agreement with Mexico this week.

Fisher Investments on US Midterm Elections [2018] - Duration: 5:13.

U.S. midterm elections are coming up in November.

How do you expect that that shapes the markets and our client portfolios?

Let me step back and look at where we've been.

Where we've been has been a Republican House of Representatives and Senate, and Republican

presidency.

They've been able to get a few big pieces of legislation through, the biggest one, of

course, being the tax bill.

The Republicans, as I think probably all viewers know, have a slight margin in both chambers

of Congress.

We have what we have referred to and described in the past as a new form of gridlock, where

Republicans fight amongst themselves more in the Senate than in the House of Representatives.

In that, a lotta stuff doesn't get through.

Some in the House, some in the Senate, a lotta stuff doesn't get through.

That's a new form of gridlock that people aren't used to.

Some gets through.

What we're gonna have after this election is either, and I'll come back to some detail,

but Democrats taking the House by a little, or the Republicans holding onto the House

of Representatives by a little.

The Republicans will hold on to the Senate, and probably gain a seat or two.

We'll have either the same form of gridlock we've had, where Republicans squabbling amongst

each other with paper-thin margins can't get legislation through, or we'll have the traditional

old form of gridlock people have seen forever, where the Republican Party has one chamber,

the Democratic Party has the other chamber, the Republican Party has the presidency, and

legislation doesn't get through.

Whatever it is that you think is good, somebody else thinks is bad.

When you put through heavy legislation, the people that don't like it hate it more than

the people who like it love it.

You get increased political risk aversion.

Political risk aversion falls after a midterm election.

It will fall after this midterm election.

We can talk about the details of the election and how it will look and why we might think

it will come out this way versus that way, but the fact of the matter is that there's

this long history, that I've written about before, that we call the 87% miracle, which

is the most consistently positive streak in market history, which is the quarter that

includes the midterm election and the next two quarters after it.

Each of them in history being positive 87% of the time.

Three in a row, 87, 87, 87.

The notion of that being purely random is very, very low.

Then that parallels, of course, with the overlapping feature, which is the third year of president's

terms in American stock market history have been overwhelmingly positive, where we haven't

had a negative third year of a president's term since 1939, and it really derives from

that same feature, falling political risk aversion.

Clients ask, I find that they ask so frequently, why is it that we think gridlock is such a

good thing?

Ken refers to it as political risk aversion abating, but what does that really mean?

There's different ways of looking at it, but I look at it like this.

The stock market wants to look as far into the future as it can, and discount that.

What politics is, effectively, is creating the rules of the game.

When you have a situation where the rules of the game aren't changing, it allows investors

to at least have the belief, they may not really know, but they'll have the belief that

they can see further out than they could before because the ground underneath them is not

shifting.

That's why we tend to say political changes of all kinds, we're agnostic to.

We don't take one side or another because it's the change itself that alters the course

of the future.

That makes things less unclear.

You can't see into the future as far, at least believe you can.

In the absence of change, people can have more confidence because they believe they

can see further out.

That's a bullish thing.

That's why we think gridlock is such a good thing for the market.

WHY LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP (LCS) IS AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO U.S NAVY ? - Duration: 4:42.

The U.S. Navy has received delivery of two Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ships (LCS).

These are USS SiouxCity and USS Wichita.

The two vessels are the 14th and 15th LCSs to join the U.S. Navy and the 6th and 7th

of the Freedom-class vessel.

In this video Defense Updates analyses why Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is an important

addition to the U.S Navy?

Let's get started.

The littoral combat ship (LCS) is a set of two classes the Independence and Freedom.

Construction of the Freedom-class is spearheaded by Lockheed Martin at Fincantieri Marinette

Marine shipyard in Wisconsin, while that of Independence-class ships is led by Austal

USA in Alabama.

These are relatively small surface vessels and basically designed for operations near shore.

During the late 1990s, the U.S. Navy understood that cruisers and destroyers would be vulnerable

to attacks in shallow coastal waters.

Large warships like cruisers and destroyers are designed for open-ocean warfare and not

for shallow water where these can be targeted by high-speed boats, missile-firing fast-attack

craft, small submarines, sea mines, and land and air-launched anti-ship missiles.

The idea behind the littoral combat ship, as described by former Secretary of the Navy

Gordon R. England, is to "create a small, fast, maneuverable and relatively inexpensive

member of the DD(X) family of ships."

If required these ships will absorb an attack and protect the much more expensive cruiser

or destroyers.

The LCS is envisioned to be a networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating

anti-access and asymmetric threats in coastal waters.

Interestingly, the LCS has a modular design.

The vessels can be configured with different modules for specific roles that include anti-submarine

warfare, mine countermeasures, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance,

homeland defense, maritime intercept, special operations, and logistics.

In the long run, the LCSs are expected to slowly replace slower and specialized ships

such as minesweepers and amphibious assault ships.

Freedom class LCSs have a displacement of 3,400 long tons being 115 m in length.

These have a top speed of 87 km/ h, a range of 6,500 km and endurance of 21 days.

In a standard configuration, Freedom-class LCS's armament consists of an 11-cell Raytheon

RIM-116B SeaRAM missile-defense system, BAE Systems Mk 110 57 mm naval gun, and Mark 50

light-weight torpedoes launched from torpedo tubes.

RIM-116B SeaRAM missile-defense system can launch MK 31 Rolling Airframe Missiles that

have a range of 9 km and has a speed of Mach 2.

The 57-millimeter naval gun is designed for close range combat and has a range of 1.7 km.

Mark 50 torpedo is a U.S. Navy's advanced lightweight torpedo for use against fast,

deep-diving submarines.

It has a range of 15 km and speed of 40 knots.

Freedom class LCS also accommodate one MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopter or MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned

autonomous helicopter.

In future, LCSs will also be armed with a 24-shot vertical launch system that will be

a lunch AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire missiles.

The missile can carry 9 kg warhead and has an 8 km range.

Furthermore, the Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) warfare package is expected to become available

by next year and the Mine Detection & Clearance (MCM) package by 2020.

>> Chris: THIS WEEK ON

"JERUSALEM DATELINE," A

HIGH-LEVEL SYRIAN-IRANIAN

MEETING COULD MEAN A

COMING SHOWDOWN BETWEEN

ISRAEL, THE U.N., AND

IRAN.

>>> PLUS, THE PROPHETIC

SIGNIFICANCE OF TEL AVIV.

AND A LOOK AT HOW ONE

IRAQI CHRISTIAN TOWN IS

REBUILDING AFTER THE

RAVAGES OF ISIS.

ALL THIS AND MORE THIS

WEEK ON "JERUSALEM

DATELINE."

HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THIS

EDITION OF "JERUSALEM

DATELINE."

I'M CHRIS MITCHELL, COMING

TO YOU THIS WEEK FROM TEL

AVIV.

WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT TEL

AVIV LATER IN THE PROGRAM.

FIRST, IRAN'S DEFENSE

MINISTER PAID A HIGH-LEVEL

VISIT TO SYRIA.

IT IS A SIGN OF

STRENGTHENING TIES BETWEEN

THESE TWO COUNTRIES, THAT

POSSESS A THREAT TO U.S.

INTEREST IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

IRAN'S DEFENSE MINISTER

LED A HIGH LEVEL

DELEGATION TO SYRIA THAT

SIGNED NEW MILITARY AND

DEFENSE AGREEMENTS WITH

THE ASSAD REGIME.

IT IS A SIGNAL THAT IRAN

WANTS TO MAINTAIN AND EVEN

INCREASE ITS MILITARY

CAPABILITIES INSIDE SYRIA.

YET ISRAEL SEES IRAN'S

MILITARY PRESENCE INSIDE

SYRIA AND ON ITS NORTHERN

BORDER AS A DIRECT THREAT.

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAS

STATED REPEATEDLY IRAN'S

MILITARY PRESENCE INSIDE

SYRIA IS A RED LINE ISRAEL

WON'T TOLERATE.

IT IS ALSO A PRIORITY FOR

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

>> THIS IS A VERY

DELICATE, VERY DIFFICULT

SITUATION IN SYRIA, BUT

ONE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING

TO ALLOW THE IRANIANS TO

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

>> Chris: THE UNITED

STATES HAS BEEN PRESSURING

IRAN TO PULL OUT ITS

FIGHTERS FROM SYRIA.

AND U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY

ADVISOR JOHN BOLTON

ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH

REPORTERS DURING HIS

RECENT VISIT TO JERUSALEM.

>> IRAN OBVIOUSLY HAS A

STRATEGIC PLAN TO CREATE

AN ARK OF CONTROL FROM

IRAN THROUGH THE SHI'A

AREAS OF IRAQ, INTO SYRIA,

LINKING UP WITH HEZBOLLAH

AND LEBANON.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE

WANT TO SEE.

>> Chris: AND BOLTON

ALSO DEFENDED ISRAEL'S

RECENT ATTACKS AGAINST

IRAN FORCES INSIDE SYRIA.

>> EVERY TIME IRAN HAS

BROUGHT MISSILES OR OTHER

THREATENING WEAPONS INTO

SYRIA IN RECENT MONTHS,

ISRAEL HAS STRUCK THOSE

TARGETS.

I THINK THAT'S A

LEGITIMATE ACT OF

SELF-DEFENSE ON THE PART

OF ISRAEL.

>> Chris: IRAN'S DEFENSE

MINISTER SAYS ITS

COUNTRIES PRESENCE INSIDE

SYRIA WON'T BE DICTATED BY

A THIRD PARTY AND THEY

WOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT

THE ASSAD REGIME.

IRAN HAS PROVIDERS

THOUSANDS OF FIGHTERS IN

ASSAD'S FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL

AGAINST REBEL FORCES.

THEIR CONTINUED PRESENCE

INSIDE SYRIA SETS UP A

SHOWDOWN WITH ISRAEL AND

THE U.S. AS THE MORE THAN

SEVEN-YEAR CIVIL WAR IS

COMING TO AN END.

NOT ONLY IS THE END OF

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR IN SIGHT,

BUT THE CALIPHATE OF ISIS

HAS BEEN DEFEATED IN SYRIA

AND IRAQ.

DESPITE THE END OF THE

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR AND THE

DEFEAT OF ISIS, THERE IS

MASSIVE RECONSTRUCTION

NEEDED IN BOTH MIDDLE EAST

COUNTRIES.

GEORGE THOMAS SPOKE WITH

ONE GROUP THAT IS

REBUILDING A CHRISTIAN

TOWN IN NORTHERN IRAQ.

>> George: NEARLY HALF

THE COUNTRY'S POPULATION

IS DISPLACED.

MILLIONS HAVE FLED THE

FIGHTING.

BEFORE THE WAR IN 2011,

SOME 1.7 MILLION SYRIANS,

ABOUT 10% OF THE

POPULATION, WERE

CHRISTIAN.

SOME SAY THAT NUMBER HAS

NOW DROPPED BY AS MUCH AS

70%.

IT IS A SIMILAR PICTURE,

BY THE WAY, IN NEIGHBORING

IRAQ, WHERE ISIS' CAMPAIGN

OF GENOCIDE AGAINST

CHRISTIANS HAS DECIMATED

THEIR NUMBERS.

NOW ONE GROUP IS HELPING

CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ AND

SYRIA TO REBUILD THEIR

LIVES.

SINCE 2014, "NIGHTS OF

COLUMBUS," THE LARGEST

CATHOLIC FRATERNAL

ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD,

HAS COMMITTED MORE THAN

20 MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP

PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS IN

THE MIDDLE EAST.

JOINING ME IS THE VICE

PRESIDENT OF

COMMUNICATIONS FOR

"KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS."

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EFFORTS

TO REBUILD THE IRAQ SEE

CHRISTIAN TOWN OF

KARUMLUS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT IS GOOD TO BE HERE.

LAST YEAR WE ANNOUNCED AN

INITIATIVE WHERE WE WOULD

BEGIN WORKING TO BUILD --

OR REBUILD ONE OF THESE

CHRISTIAN TOWNS THAT HAVE

BEEN SO DECIMATED BY ISIS.

THAT TOWN IS THE TOWN OF

KAREMLUS, BETWEEN MOSUL

AND IRBIL IN NORTHERN

IRAQ.

THIS WAS A TOWN THAT HAD

HAD HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES,

ALL OF WHOM HAD BEEN

FORCIBLY DISPLACED BY

ISIS.

WHEN THE TOWN WAS

LIBERATED, IT WAS IN A

TERRIBLE STATE.

THERE WERE UNEXPLODED

BOMBS.

THERE WERE BOOBY-TRAPS.

MANY OF THE HOMES WERE

BURNED OR HAD, YOU KNOW,

BATTLE DAMAGE.

AND THE LEVEL OF

DEVASTATION WAS REALLY

SHOCKING.

SO THE "KNIGHTS OF

COLUMBUS" WERE ABLE TO PUT

ABOUT $2 MILLION INTO THAT

PROJECT.

WE COMMITTED $2 MILLION TO

MOVE HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES

BACK HOME, TO HELP THEM

REPAIR THEIR HOMES, AND TO

REALLY GET ON WITH THEIR

LIVES, PICK UP THE PIECES,

AND TO HELP PRESERVE THE

MULTI-CULTURAL PLURALISM

THAT HAS EXISTED IN IRAQ

FOR WELL OVER A THOUSAND

YEARS.

>> George: YOU ALSO HAVE

PROVIDED FOOD AND

CONDUCTED THE MEDICAL

OUTREACHES, RIGHT?

>> YES.

THE "KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS"

HAVE WORKED THROUGHOUT

NORTHERN IRAQ SINCE 2014.

WE HAVE MEDICAL CLINICS

THAT ASSIST THE NEEDS OF

THE YAZIDIS AND CHRISTIAN

AND MUSLIM POPULATIONS

THERE.

WE HAVE HOUSING THAT WE'VE

HELPED TO BUILD FOR SOME

OF THE DISPLACED

COMMUNITIES.

WE HAVE ALSO SUBSTANTIAL

AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'VE PUT

INTO FOOD, AID, FOR THE

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY THERE,

AND OTHERS IN THEIR CARE.

MANY TIMES INDIVIDUALS

FROM THE YAZIDI COMMUNITY

AND OTHER COMMUNITIES WILL

BE DEPENDENT ALSO ON THE

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FOR

THE FOOD AND SHELTER THAT

THEY HAVE.

SO WE'VE REALLY DONE ABOUT

$20 MILLION OF WORK THERE

SINCE 2014.

>> George: REMIND US

AGAIN, ANDREW, WHAT ISIS

DID TO MANY OF IRAQ'S

CHRISTIAN TOWNS AND

VILLAGES?

>> WHEN ISIS SWEPT THROUGH

NORTHERN IRAQ AND

SIMILARLY IN SYRIA, THEY

DID MATEDECIMATED THE POPULATION.

THEY GAVE PEOPLE THE

OPTION TO CONVERT, DIE, OR

FLEE.

I'M TOLD THERE WERE

THOUSANDS THERE, AND

HUNDREDS KILLED IN IRAQ.

THEY WERE ABLE, IN LARGE

PART IN IRAQ, TO ESCAPE TO

KURDISTAN, SOME TO IRBIL

AND UP TO THE NORTH.

IN MOVING OUT, THESE AREAS

BECAME TOTALLY CONTROLLED

BY ISIS, AS THE CHRISTIANS

AND THE YAZIDIS WERE

FORCED OUT OF THEIR TOWNS

AND VILLAGES AND INTO

NEIGHBORING KURDISTAN,

WHERE THEY HAD A LEVEL OF

SAFETY THERE.

SO AS THESE THINGS BEGAN

TO BE LIBERATED, AS THEY

LANDS BEGAN TO BE

LIBERATED BY THE IRAQI

FORCES AND SO ON, OVER THE

LAST YEAR, YEAR AND A

HALF, IT HAS BEEN VERY

IMPORTANT TO HELP THESE

ORIGINAL POPULATIONS MOVE

BACK, AND TO MAINTAIN THE

KIND OF PLURALISTIC

ENVIRONMENT THAT EXISTED

THERE, IN NUN V IN NINEVEH AND

NORTHERN IRAQ.

>> George: THANK YOU FOR

YOUR INSIGHTS, AND I HOPE

YOU WILL COME BACK ON THIS

SHOW.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> Chris: COMING UP,

CBN'S SCOTT ROSS TAKES A

LOOK AT THE GROWTH OF

1909 -- IT'S A VERY YOUNG

CITY.

ALL OF THIS WAS SAND HERE

IN 1909.

>> Reporter: WHAT WAS

THE VISION FOR IT?

>> THE VISION WAS TO

ESTABLISH HERE A MODERN

JEWISH CITY THAT SPEAKS

THE HEBREW LANGUAGE.

AND THE FOUNDATION FOR A

JEWISH LIFE.

THE IDEA WAS TO REALIZE

THE DREAMS, THE HOPES, THE

PROPHECIES OF OUR

PROPHETS, AND THE GREEMS DREAMS

OF THE JEWS ALL OVER THE

WORLD.

THE MOST AMAZING THING

ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE IS

THE FACT THAT WE KEEP

DREAMING THE SAME DREAM,

WHEREVER WE ARE, THROUGH

THE CENTURIES.

NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM,

NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.

>> Reporter: WHO WERE

THE LEADERS, THE PEOPLE

WHO FOUNDED TEL AVIV.

>> IN '66, THEY INHABITED

THE OLD CITY OF JAFFA.

THERE WAS NARROW

ALLEYWAYS, AND SEWAGE IN

THE STREET.

JEWS IN JAFFA DREAM ABOUT

BREAKING FROM THE WALLS OF

JAFFA AND ESTABLISHING A

JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE PRAY TO GOD FOR EVERY

INCH HERE.

AND THE MONEY WAS PAID TO

WHOM?

TO THE OTTOMANS?

WHO ARE THE OTTOMANS?

THIS WAS REDEEMING THE

LAND OF ISRAEL.

>> Reporter: ISAAC DRAW

IS THE EDUCATION MANAGER

OF INDEPENDENCE HALL,

WHERE DAVID BEN-GURION

DECLARED ISRAEL'S

STATEHOOD, AND ITS

FOUNDING FATHERS SIGNED

THE DECLARATION OF

INDEPENDENCE.

WE'RE SITED HERE IN FRONT

OF INDEPENDENCE HALL.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT

PLACE.

>> IT IS SIGNIFICANT.

IT IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT.

IT IS THE PLACE WHERE

ISRAEL WAS BORN.

BUT IT IS ALSO THE PLACE

WHERE TEL AVIV WAS

ESTABLISHED.

IT WAS THE HOME OF THE

FOUNDER OF TEL AVIV.

IT WAS THE FIRST ART

MUSEUM OF THE CITY.

IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL,

EZEKIEL LIVED IN THE PLACE

OF TEL AVIV, A JEWISH CITY

IN BABYLON, WHERE HE HAD

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN

IRAQ, EXILE JEW.

>> Chris: IN 1950, THEY

MERGED TO FORM TEL AVIV

JAFAL.

AND IT IS WHERE JONAH

ENDED UP IN THE BELL OF A

WHALE.

TODAY IT IS ISRAEL'S

SECOND LARGEST CITY, AND

ALTHOUGH IT IS HOME TO ALL

FOREIGN EMBASSIES, TEL

AVIV IS CLEARLY NOT THE

BIBLICAL CAPITAL OF ISRAEL

AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

>>> THIS CITY, IN CONTRAST

TO JERUSALEM -- JERUSALEM

IS MORE OF A RELIGIOUS

ENVIRONMENT.

>> THIS CITY DOES NOT HAVE

TO BEAR THE HEAVY LOAD

THAT JERUSALEM IS

CARRYING.

AND TEL AVIV DOES NOT HAVE

TO CARRY ALL THIS HISTORY.

BUT TEL AVIV IS VERY, VERY

SPECIAL IN A DIFFERENT

WAY.

>> Reporter: ISRAEL'S

FOUNDERS SENSED THEY WERE

FULFILLING PROPHECY.

IN THE MIFFED O MIDDLE OF THIS

SECULAR CITY, AND ONE

MONUMENT SAYS IT ALL.

>> THIS IS FROM THE BIBLE

JEREMIAH.

AND IT SAYS, "I SHALL

REBUILD YOU, AND YOU WILL

BE BUILT, O VIRGIN OF

ISRAEL."

THIS IS THE MOTTO OF THOSE

WHO ESTABLISHED TEL AVIV.

>> Reporter: AND AS WE

STAND HERE NOW, THE

PROPHECY IS BEING

FULFILLED IN FRONT OF YOUR

EYES.

>> IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

IT IS THE FIRST TIME IN

2,000 YEARS, THE JEWISH

PEOPLE, BUILDING THE

JEWISH LAND, SPEAKING

HEBREW, WITH THE BIBLE IN

THEIR HANDS, IN THE LAND

OF ISRAEL.

>> Reporter: TODAY TEL

AVIV IS KNOWN AS SILICON

WADHI.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT TEL AVIV

THAT SO MUCH CREATIVITY,

INNOVATIVENESS HAS COME

OUT OF THIS AREA?

>> THERE ARE MORE THAN 700

START-UP COMPANIES

CONCENTRATED IN THIS CITY.

THERE IS VENTURE CAPITAL

THAT IS BEING INVESTED IN

ISRAEL, WHICH IS THE

HIGHEST PER CAPITA IN THE

WORLD.

COMBINED, OF COURSE, WITH

ISRAEL'S CULTURE AND

CIRCUMSTANCES, HAVE MADE

TEL AVIV WHAT IT IS TODAY.

THE SECOND SILICON VALLEY

OF THE WORLD.

>> Reporter: I ASKED BEN

SHAAR ABOUT THE FUTURE OF

TEL AVIV.

>> THE AMOUNT OF

INNOVATIONS THAT ARE

DEVELOPED HERE, THAT ARE

CRUCIAL TO MAKING THE

WORLD A BETTER PLACE, ARE

GOING TO COME OUT OF TEL

AVIV.

AND MORE RESEARCH AND

FUNDING IS GOING TO COME

INTO THIS CITY AND

HOPEFULLY CREATE A BETTER

FUTURE, NOT JUST FOR JEWS,

BUT FOR CHRISTIANS,

MUSLIMS, BUDDHISTS AROUND

THE WORLD.

>> Chris: FOR CBN NEWS,

I'M SCOTT ROSS, IN TEL

AVIV.

>> Chris: UP NEXT, A

LOOK AT ISRAEL THROUGH THE

EYES OF ONE OF AMERICA'S

TOP ENTERTAINERS, AND HER

>> Chris: WELCOME BACK

TO "JERUSALEM DATELINE."

HERE IS THE SCRIPTURE FROM

THE PROPHET JEREMIAH, THAT

SCOTT ROSS TALKED ABOUT IN

HIS STORY ON TEL AVIV.

ANOTHER PERSON PASSIONATE

ABOUT TEL AVIV AND ALL OF

ISRAEL, IS AMERICAN

ENTERTAINER KATHY LEE

GIFFORD.

SHE TALKED WITH EFREM

GRAHAM ABOUT HER MANY

VISITS TO THE HOLY LAND,

HER CHRISTIAN FAITH, AND

HER NEW BOOK, "THE ROCK,

THE ROAD, AND THE RABBI."

* WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES

AND HELD MY VERY BREATH

AND LET YOU LOVE ME TO

DEATH.

>> Efrem: FROM THE

RECORDING STUDIO TO THE

TELEVISION STUDIO, KATHY

LEE GIFFORD IS AN

ALL-AROUND ENTERTAINER

WITH UNMATCHED PASSION.

>> FOLLOW YOUR JOY, AND IT

WILL LEAD TO GOD'S PURPOSE

FOR YOUR LIFE.

I HAVE A MANTRA WHICH IS,

"MY JOY IS NON

NEGOTIABLE."

>> AT THE SAME TIME, THE

FIERCE ARMY OF THE

PHILISTINES HAD BEEN

CAMPED OUT FOR 40 DAYS.

>> Efrem: GIFFORD IS

ALSO PASSIONATE ABOUT HER

FAITH.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE

PAGES OF HER LATEST

BEST-SELLER: "THE ROCK,

THE ROAD, AND THE RABBI."

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE

THIS?

>> I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE

HOLY LAND SINCE I WAS 17

YEARS OLD.

I WAS A BIG BIBLE NERD

FROM THE TIME I BECAME A

CHRISTIAN WHEN I WAS 12

YEARS OLD.

THIS WAS BACK IN THE

'70s, AND IT WAS THE

FIRST BIBLICAL CONFERENCE

ON PROPHECY.

AND MY FATHER, AS MY

GRADUATION GIFT FROM HIGH

SCHOOL, GOT TICKETS FOR MY

MOM AND ME TO GO TO ISRAEL

AND ATTEND THAT.

AND I WAS THRILLED.

I MEAN, I MISSED MY HIGH

SCHOOL GRADUATION.

I COULDN'T HAVE CARED

LESS.

I ALWAYS WAS ANXIOUS TO

GET TO THE HOLY LAND AND

BE WHERE EVERYTHING

HAPPENED.

AND TO JUST SOAK IT IN.

>> Efrem: THESE ARE

SNAPSHOTS FROM ONE OF HER

TRIPS TO THE HOLY LAND,

WITH RABBI JASON, WHO

HELPED HER TO WRITE THE

BOOK.

>> IN 2012, MY HUSBAND AND

I WENT ON WHAT WE CALL A

RABBINICAL TRIP.

AND THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING

CHANGED FOR ME.

WHEN I STARTED STUDYING

THE WAY THE MESSIANIC

RABBIS TEACH -- BECAUSE

THE WORD OF GOD WAS

WRITTEN BY MIDDLE

EASTERNERS FOR MIDDLE

EASTERNERS.

AND WHEN WE TRY TO APPLY

OUR WESTERN MINDSET OR

TRADITIONS OR THOUGHT

PROCESS TOWARDS THAT, IT

NEVER WORKS.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO WHO

THEY WERE, AND WHAT WAS

HAPPENING AT THE TIME THAT

IT HAPPENED.

AND WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT THE LANGUAGES TRULY

MEANT.

MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT

JESUS WAS A CARPENTER.

WELL, NOT ACCORDING TO THE

GREEK IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT.

THE WORD FOR WHAT JESUS

AND JOSEPH DID WAS TEC TEKTON.

AND THAT MEANS ARCHITECT.

WELL, JESUS WAS THE

ARCHITECT OF ALL CREATION,

SO THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.

IF I'M GOING TO BASE MY

LIFE ON SOMETHING, I HAVE

TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

>> Efrem: KATHIE LEE

AIMS TO MAKE THE PAGES OF

THE BIBLE COME TO LIFE,

AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO

READ IT MORE.

>> IF YOU KNOW ISRAEL,

THERE IS LIKE A THREE-MILE

SUSCIRCUMFERENCE AROUND THE

TEMPLE.

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT

WORSHIPPING AT THE TEMPLE.

THOSE SHEPHERDS WERE

RABBINICAL PRIESTS.

AND THOSE LAMBS WERE BORN

FOR THE SAME REASON THAT

JESUS WAS IN BETHLEHEM,

RIGHT THERE, TO BE

SACRIFICED FOR THE SINS OF

THE PEOPLE.

AND WHAT DID THEY DO?

WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE

LAMBS AS SOON AS THEY WERE

BORN?

THEY WRAPPED THEM IN

SWADDLING CLOTHES AND LAID

THEM IN MANGERS.

THIS IS THE KIND OF

JOURNEY WE GO ON IN "THE

ROCK, THE ROAD, AND THE

RABBI."

AND I HOPE IT IGNITES

PEOPLE'S FAITH.

WE ARE SO LUKE-WARM IN OUR

SOCIETY TODAY.

OUR BATTERY IS LIKE ON

CRITICAL MASS BECAUSE

WE'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING

WHAT THE WORD OF GOD

REALLY SAYS.

THEREFORE WE'RE NOT

APPLYING IT PROPERLY IN

OUR OWN DAILY LIVES.

AND WE'RE LIVING HALF OF

OUR FAITH OUT BECAUSE

WE'RE NOT LIVING OUR

JEWISH PART.

>> Efrem: AND I THINK

YOU SAY IT REALLY

PROFOUNDLY WHEN YOU TALK

ABOUT HOW IT CAME ALIVE

FOR YOUR HUSBAND.

RELIGION VERSUS

RELATIONSHIP.

>> I DON'T WANT RELIGION

IN MY LIFE.

I WANT RELATIONSHIP WITH

THE LIVING GOD.

>> Efrem: IS THERE A

FAVORITE PLACE FOR YOU TO

VISIT, SINCE YOU'VE BEEN

SO MANY TIMES?

IF YOU WERE GOING AND

COULD GO TO ONLY ONE

PLACE, WHERE WOULD YOU SAY

TO GO?

>> THAT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE

QUESTION TO ANSWER.

I ENDURE ANGETTI BECAUSE

SO MUCH OF OUR LIFE IS IN

DESERT.

SO MUCH OF OUR LIFE DOES

INVOLVE SUFFERING.

DAVID SUFFERED -- THINK

ABOUT IT, AS A YOUNG MAN,

PROBABLY 12 TO 14 YEARS

OLD, HE WAS ANOINTED BY

SAMUEL TO BE KING.

WHEN DID HE ACTUAL BECOME

KING?

WHEN HE WAS 30.

THAT'S A LONG TIME TO WAIT

ON GOD, AND HALF THE TIME

TO BE SEPARATED FROM HIS

LOVED ONES AND HIS FAMILY

AND HIDING IN CAVES FROM

KING SAUL, WHO WANTED TO

KILL HIM.

>> Efrem: HERE IS ALSO A

REMINDER OF GOD'S

PROVISION, AN OASIS IN THE

DESERT FOR ALL WHO

BELIEVE.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,

NEW YORK.

>> Chris: UP NEXT, A NEW

MOVIE CHRONICLES THE

>> Chris: YEARS AGO, I

INTERVIEWED A MAN NAMED

PETER MALCOLM.

HE HAD JUST WRITTEN A BOOK

CALLED "EICHMANN IN MY

HANDS."

HE WAS ONE OF THE CHIEF

PERSECUTIONERS DURING THE

HOLOCAUST.

HE WAS PART OF A DARING

MASSAD RAID TO CAPTURE

EICHMANN AND BRING HIM

BACK HERE TO ISRAEL FOR

TRIAL FOR HIS CRIMES

AGAINST HUMANITY.

NOW A NEW MOVIE PORTRAYS

THE CAPTURE OF EICHMANN

AND A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN

THE NAZI EXECUTIONER AND

MALCOLM, WHO LOST FAMILY

DURING THE HOLOCAUST.

>> WE HAVE OUR GUY, ADOLF

EICHMANN.

>> LET'S GO.

>> THIS IS A COUNTRY FULL

OF EX-NAZIS.

>> THEY'RE ALL OVER THE

CITY.

>> START THE ENGINE.

>> AID DO ADOLF EICHMANN WAS LESS

FAMOUS THAN HITLER, BUT

ACTUALLY HORRIFIC.

>> YOU WANT ME TO STAND

TRIAL IN PLACE FOR THE

ENTIRE REGIME.

>> EICHMANN USED TO SAY, I

WAS A SMALL COG IN THE

MACHINE, BUT ACTUALLY, HE

WAS THE MACHINE.

>> THE EXTENT OF HIS

CRIMES ARE NOT COVERED

JUST BY SOMEONE WHO

FOLLOWED ORDERS.

>> WHAT COMPELS ME TO PLAY

ADOLF EICHMANN IS THE TRUE

STORY OF THE CAPTURING OF

A MONSTER AND HONORING ALL

OF THAT MONSTER'S VICTIMS.

>> EICHMANN, THE ARCHITECT

OF THE HOLOCAUST, HAS BEEN

FIND.

A CALL COMES INTO THE

MASSAD THAT HE IS IN

ARGENTINA.

A GROUP IS ASSEMBLED TO GO

TO BUENOS AIRES, WHO WROTE

A BOOK CALLED "EICHMANN IN

MY HAND."

>> IF IT IS HIM, WE NEED A

UNIQUE CREW.

>> I PLAY RAFAEL, WHO IS A

MASSAD AGENT, AND

ORGANIZED A TEAM OF PEOPLE

WHO WENT TO EXTRACT

EICHMANN.

>> BUENAS DIAZ.

>> THE SEARCH FOR HIM, THE

TERRIBLE RISKS INVOLVED.

>> WE HAVE TO WARN THE

OTHERS.

LET'S GO.

>> ALL OF THIS IS

ABSOLUTELY THRILLING.

>> DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE

MAN IN THIS PICTURE?

>> I CAN'T SEE HIM

CLEARLY.

>> THE MAN IN THIS PICTURE

IS YOU.

S.S. NUMBER 45381.

45381.

16789.

>> IT WAS 45326.

>> Chris: WELL, IT LOOKS

LIKE A POWERFUL MOVIE, AND

NOW A THRIVING TEL AVIV

AND ISRAEL ARE A TESTAMENT

OF HOW EICHMANN AND HITLER

FAILED TO ERADICATE GOD'S

CHOSEN PEOPLE.

WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR THIS

EDITION.

THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE

ON ROTHCHILD BOULEVARD IN

TEL AVIV.

I'M CHRIS MITCHELL.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON

"JERUSALEM DATELINE."
