Donovan and I took a very fun trip out from Pearl Harbor,

where we went out on a "hunter killer" Los Angeles Class,

Which was an incredibly insightful time,

And spending a lot of time speaking to the crew, and Cmdr. McGinnes,

And always asking questions of what to do with our story, and where his mindset would be in those situations.

It's a sort of commitment that you get - we wanted to be as authentic as we could

And this movie as about balancing that authenticity against what makes a great film

And I think that was our real challenge, and what coming down here

And going out on the Houston was about,

How do we take this real life, and dramatize it in a way that

Honors you guys, as well as makes a great film.

So I was very impressed with that part of the mentality, you know,

And by the way, the courage - the courage - because when you come down here you realize

Even in a movie you could show it, but to really do it,

To really be underwater for those long periods of time,

With the constant threats that they face,

Takes a huge amount of steadiness and courage.

To me it was the mindset

And that mindset coming from an unbelievable amount of training, and drilling,

You understand why this is the best military in the world: they don't stop.

So we would do a battlestations drill - and even if it was incredible, it was never good enough,

So you do it again, you do it again, you do it again, and that's what

these soldiers do all day long.

I really wanted to depict those Sailors as realistically as possible - not just

in what they did, but also their relationships, and how they spoke,

And how they interacted with each other,

So the extra part of the courage and valor,

That's a very profound feeling you get when

When you actually come underwater and you exist and live with these guys.

It was also our job to make them feel like what it would feel like to be underwater - like real Sailors.

And I actually went underway on the Texas and shot with the real crew,

And I'm intercutting that real crew with the actors

In a way that you don't even realize who's crew and who's actors,

And I've gotta say, the USS Texas were a good bunch of performers.

We had an enclosed set for the control room, so you could really feel

If you used your imagination, what it felt like to be down there

And then we took that whole set, put it on a gimbal, so you could actually tilt it through

All the degrees - so when he says "50 degrees right hard rudder" we could actually tilt this entire set

And everybody had to hold on, and it actually works on the imagination - and you could see that in their faces.

And again, as Donovan said, the authenticity was so important

That the commands, the repetitions, where people move when certain things are happening,

We would go right from establishing that there's a threat

To making contact, to the whole sequence

Of anything from battlestations, to moving through to a torpedo attack,

And sometimes it was like, 5, 7, 10 minutes long,

And you've gone everywhere that you've had to go - and in the end you're, like, breathless,

You're sweating, and you're looking around and you have goosebumps.

If there was another career that I had to choose, I would definitely consider this one.

I love the power that goes with that.

I was astonished by how much they had to know, and also how much they loved the job.

And that's one of the things we wanted to get across

In this movie is the brilliance, and the courage, and the steadfastness of these warriors.

What the Florida Governor's Race Could Tell Us About 2020 | NYT News - Duration: 2:28.

Florida.

Singing: "Sunshine and sea breeze,

soft sand and palm trees."

Retirement mecca, party central, Little Haiti,

Little Havana —

a state with elections so close, they're legendary.

And in 2018, Florida is living up to its reputation,

with a tight governor's race catering

to political extremes.

A lefty mayor from Tallahassee —

"Are y'all ready to flip Florida blue —"

versus a Trump-loving former congressman.

"Make America great again."

The result could be a litmus test

for where the state, and maybe even the country,

are headed in 2020.

So, who are the candidates?

This is the Democrat, Mayor Andrew Gillum.

He pulled off a surprise victory in the primary,

beating out six other candidates.

"My wife refers to me as Seabiscuit."

Gillum's got that made-for-media

inspiring back story.

He's one of seven kids, the first

to graduate from high school and college,

and he was the youngest person ever elected

to the Tallahassee City Commission.

Gillum could be Florida's first black governor.

He's become a bit of a national star,

even securing cartoon cameos in music videos.

But he's also wrapped up in some controversies:

"An ongoing corruption probe, since you've been mayor."

"We want to make sure that any individual that

participated in that is held fully accountable."

The Republican, Ron DeSantis: He made a name for himself

by appearing on Fox News —

a lot.

"Put up or shut up."

DeSantis, a self-described conservative warrior,

has impressed many Republicans, including Trump.

"A tough, brilliant cookie."

He's got Ivy League credentials

and served in the military.

"JAG officer."

DeSantis went to Congress in 2012,

but recently resigned so he could focus on his campaign.

He's also had some stumbles, like when

he said this about Gillum the morning after the primaries:

"You know he is an articulate spokesman

for those far-left views.

The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up."

Yeah.

It drew accusations of a racist dog whistle.

So, what about the issues?

DeSantis has endorsed almost every Trump policy,

from repealing the Affordable Care Act

to moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

He also hates tax increases and so-called sanctuary cities.

Gillum:

He might be the most liberal candidate for governor

in Florida's history.

He wants to overhaul I.C.E., raise the minimum wage

and fight the N.R.A.

Polls show that both messages are

getting pretty good reception in Florida.

So yeah, of course, the race is neck and neck.

"This is Florida.

The rules are different here."

Analysis | Here's what social science tells us about that migrant 'caravan' — and the Trump administ - Duration: 7:11.

Central American migrants, who are part of a caravan trying to reach the United States, walk on a street as they continue their journey in Tapachula, Mexico, on Monday

(Reuters) By E.J. Graff E.J. Graff Email Bio Follow October 23 at 7:00 AM President Trump vowed Monday to reduce aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador if they couldn't stop their citizens from fleeing their violence and poverty to travel to the United States

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U

S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018 The tweet came in response to ongoing reports on the migrant "caravan," in which thousands are walking together toward the U

S. border, including people the United States has previously deported who are trying to rejoin their families

But would cutting aid and doubling down on the Trump administration's current immigration policies deter such efforts to enter the United States? And how did immigration become the political hot button it is today? Here's a roundup of what TMC has published in the past several years about these questions

What policies discourage immigration — and what policies increase it? Crafting effective policies requires, at a minimum, an understanding of what's prompting the problem

Rachel Schwartz looked deep into the data to find out why so many children are fleeing Central America for the United States in the first place and found that it's slightly different for each of the countries that Trump is threatening

Meanwhile, Christian Ambrosius and David Leblang explained their findings that U

S. deportation policy is boomeranging, likely encouraging more people to join the migrant caravan

As they explained: Deportations return criminals to their home countries. In some cases, those deported criminals help develop and extend criminal networks used to traffic drugs, weapons, and people

This, in turn, increases the frequency of violent crime in those countries — which sends more people fleeing those countries and migrating to the United States

And while it may intuitively seem as if cutting foreign aid would have similar effects, decreasing the quality of life and pushing people to leave for wealthier countries, the evidence is mixed

Charles Martin-Shields, Steffen Angenendt and Benjamin Schraven explained that development aid and humanitarian assistance can — over time — slow migration from poor countries, especially when people are leaving their homes because of a lack of food or shelter, while immediate cuts aren't likely to make any immediate differences either way

But Sarah Berneo and David Leblang warn that shifting foreign aid away from public health or food security in poor countries in order to help countries where many are fleeing to prevent citizens from migrating can backfire, as small immediate increases in income can sometimes encourage those potential migrants to spend that money leaving

Margaret Peters, meanwhile, explained that Trump can't reduce trade and immigration at the same time because free trade actually discourages migration

TMC authors have also examined other policy efforts to discourage migration. Anna Oltman explained that the family separation policy isn't likely to be effective, as the existence of the caravan suggests, writing that "deterrence does not seem to stop migration so much as redirect it" toward more dangerous routes

Michelle Brané and Margo Schlanger suggested that the policy is meant to be punitive rather than preventive

Nor is the Trump administration merely "enforcing the law as written," as Inés Valdez, Mat Coleman and Amna Akbar explained last year, writing, "Laws don't enforce themselves; people make decisions about how to enforce them

" The U.S. politics of immigration Since he first declared that he was a candidate for president, Trump has been suggesting that most Latin American immigrants are criminals

In response to some observers' claims that such language could lead to violence, Aliza Luft and Daniel Solomon took a close look at the research into dehumanizing language and genocides and explained that while such language doesn't cause violence, it can desensitize the public and ease the way for dehumanizing policies

Of course, with a worldwide migrant crisis, immigration is exacerbating political tension around the world

But Republicans and Democrats are more polarized on immigration than parties in the U

K. or Australia, Glenn Kefford and Shaun Ratcliff explained here in August. Why? It's particularly puzzling, given that public opinion surveys find American nativism decreasing rather than increasing

Margaret E. Peters explained that the Republicans increasingly oppose immigration in part because most businesses – which Republicans traditionally support – "no longer care about immigration

Increased globalization has changed the amount and kind of labor that most U.S. businesses need

" That frees the party to respond to its anti-immigrant wing. And yet the Republican Congress hasn't been able to take much action on immigration, including the popular DACA, which would protect undocumented immigrants brought here as children — because, as TMC's Sarah Binder explained, the GOP caucus, like the nation, is divided on the issue

U.S. rebuffs Russian appeals to remain in key nuclear arms control pact - Duration: 6:40.

National security advisor John Bolton held firm Tuesday to President Trump's announcement that the United States would withdraw from a landmark arms control treaty in place since the Soviet era

 Bolton gave no specific details on the next possible U.S. steps to withdraw from the deal to limit intermediate-range nuclear weapons

Advertisement  But Bolton echoed Trump's assertions of Russian violations of the pact, suggesting that no progress was made to ease the impasse during Bolton's talks with top Russian officials including President Vladimir Putin

 The Kremlin denies any violations and says scrapping the 31-year-old Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or INF, would be a "dangerous" development and could spark a new arms race

 "The American position is that Russia is in violation," Bolton said at a news conference

"Russia's position is that they are not in violation. So one has to ask how to ask the Russians to come back into compliance with something they don't think they're violating

"  In a bit of dark humor that underscored the moment, Putin quipped about the balance between peace and force represented by the Great Seal of the United States

 "As far as I can remember, the U.S. seal depicts an eagle on one side holding 13 arrows, and on the other side an olive branch with 13 olives," Putin said, sitting across from Bolton at talks before the news conference

"Here's the question, 'Did your eagle already eat all the olives and only the arrows are left?'"  "Hopefully I'll have some answers for you," Bolton replied

"But I didn't bring any more olives."  "That's what I thought," Putin said, provoking laughter from Bolton

 But Bolton's mission wades deep into the current frictions between Washington and Moscow

 It remains unclear whether Trump's pledge to pull out of the treaty could be a negotiating tactic to possibly rewrite the rules or bring in other nations such as China

But more dialogue could be ahead.  Putin confirmed plans to meet Trump on the sidelines of World War I memorial events in France next month

 "Of course, there are some weak spots," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said of the INF treaty on Tuesday, before Bolton's planned meeting with Putin

"However, the dismantlement of this treaty without proposing anything new is obviously not what we would welcome

"  President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the INF treaty in 1987, leading to the elimination of an entire category of nuclear missiles and the removal of more than 2,500 of them from installations across Europe

 Despite Trump's announcement of a withdrawal, Russian officials struck a conciliatory tone in public for Bolton's visit

 Bolton's visit to Moscow was his second in his role as Trump's national security advisor, signaling the Trump administration's intention to maintain contact with Russia despite the uproar in Washington over its interference in the 2016 election

Advertisement  After meeting with his Russian counterpart, Nikolai Patrushev, on Monday, Bolton told the Echo of Moscow radio station he had raised the issue in his talks with Russian officials

 "The point I made to Russian colleagues today was that I didn't think, whatever they had done in terms of meddling in the 2016 election, that they had any effect on it, but what they have had an effect in the United States is to sow enormous distrust of Russia," Bolton said

"I said, just from a very coldblooded cost-benefit ratio, that you shouldn't meddle in our elections because you're not advancing Russian interest, and I hope that was persuasive to them

"  Bolton deployed the symbolism of wreath-laying to both signal respect for Kremlin authority and to show criticism of repression of the political opposition in Moscow

 He laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin wall. He did the same at the unofficial memorial just outside the Kremlin wall marking the spot where opposition politician Boris Nemtsov was killed in 2015

 "Boris Nemtsov tried to make Russia more free and more flourishing," the U.S. Embassy said on its Russian-language Twitter account

"His memory continues to inspire people."
