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.

Jerusalem Dateline: 8/31/18 Syria-Iran Meeting: Showdown Coming with Israel, US? - Duration: 22:30.
"JERUSALEM DATELINE."
>> 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

TRUMP HAS MOVED THE U.S.
EMBASSY FROM HERE IN TEL
AVIV TO JERUSALEM.
WHILE THE ANCIENT CITY IS
THE CENTER OF BIBLICAL
EVENTS, TEL AVIV HAS
BECOME ISRAEL'S HIGH-TECH
AND ECONOMIC CENTER.
IT IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE
YOU CAN GET GOOD ES ESPRESSO.
AS SCOTT ROSS FOUND OUT,
THE BUSTLING CITY HAS ALSO
FULFILLED BIBLICAL
PROPHECY.

COULD BE DESCRIBED AS
ISRAEL'S NEW YORK CITY.
AND IN JUST OVER 100
YEARS, IT HAS BECOME ONE
OF THE WORLD'S LEADING
START-UP CITIES.
>> IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN
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.

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.
4538
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."
