I'm about to lose my mind

You've been gone for so long

I'm runnin' out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor

To bring me back to life

I told the world, one day I would pay it back

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it, so that one day I could play it back

But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that

Doubts startin' to creep in, every day it's just so gray and black

Hope, I just need a ray of that

'Cause no one sees my vision when I play it for 'em

They just say it's wack — but they don't know what dope is

And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this

All I know is, you came to me when I was at my lowest

(I'm about to lose my mind)

(You've been gone for so long)

(I'm runnin' out of time)

(I need a doctor, call me a doctor)

(I need a doctor, doctor)

(To bring me back to life)

You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes

Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke

Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left

They said they was ridin' to the death

But where the !@#$ are they now, now that I need them?

I don't see none of them, all I see is Slim

@#$% all you fair-weather friends! All I need is him

!@#$%' backstabbers!

When the chips were down you just laughed at us

Now you 'bout to feel the !@#$%' wrath of Aftermath, faggots!

(I'm about to lose my mind)

(You've been gone for so long)

(I'm runnin' out of time)

(I need a doctor, call me a doctor)

(I need a doctor, doctor)

(To bring me back to life)

You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you

But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do

But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fightin' you

It's dark, let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you

I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue

'Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick; you

Gon' either wanna fight when I get off this !@#$' mic, or you

Gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do

I'm about to lose my mind

You've been gone for so long

I'm runnin' outta time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, docto

To bring me back to life

I didn't wanna break us

But I broke this trust

Laying here a wreck

Pained and wanting you

I really do wanna change

But I shattered this

Re-thinking my words

Reliving your kiss

I need you to save me

Cuz I'm drowing underneath

A current I' cant't battle nor breaht

Oh I'm sinking deeper

Giving up my air to this endless sea

I need you

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

As I close my eyes

I want to believe

That the hell I live

Was just all a dream

As I toss and turn

I imagine you

Holding my hand

And pulling me through

I need you to save me

Cuz I'm drowing underneath

A current I' can't battle nor breath

Oh I'm sinking deeper

Giving up my air to this endless sea

I need you

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

I need you to save me

Cuz I'm drowing underneath

A current I' can't battle nor breath

Oh' I'm sinking deeper

Giving up my air to this endless sea

I need you

I need you to save me

Aaaaaahoooou

FOREIGN Interference in US ELECTIONS!!! - Duration: 27:33.

Hey, everybody, this is Deb with Truthification Chronicles and in this video

we're going to talk about the report on foreign interference in the United

States election now this is the executive order that Trump's signed on

September 12th of 2018 again as always the links will be down below in the

description if you're working off of a mobile device of some kind a tablet or a

cell phone or something along those lines there may be a small arrow that

you need to click on to let it open up the description but then you should be

able to find it somewhere around there click around you'll find it eventually

and it'll have all the links there and you can just click on those then anyway

this is the executive order by authority vested in me as president by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America including the

international emergency economic Powers Act the national emergencies act and

section 212 F of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 I mean he always

has to put these things and so he put specifically what they are that he's

addressing and then he says I Donald J Trump president of the United States of

America find that the ability of persons located in whole or in substantial part

outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in

United States elections including through the unauthorized accessing of

election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda

and disinformation constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the

national security and foreign policy of the United States although there has

been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation

in any United States election foreign powers have historically sought to

exploit America's free and open political system in recent years the

proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has

created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the

threat of foreign interference as illustrated in the 2017 Intel

community assessment I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this

threat so did you know that there's a national emergency declared on this yes

there actually is anyway here's the part that I wanted you to look at not later

than 45 days after the conclusion of the United States election the Director of

National Intelligence that's Dan Coates currently from Indiana by the way in

consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and

agencies shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a

foreign government or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign

government has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election

okay I'm not gonna read a lot of the rest of it but that's very important so

it says not later than 45 days after the conclusion of the United States election

now the United States election was November 6th of 2018 45 days from

November 6 so let's check that out so we start on November 6 2018 we add 45

days and we come to Friday December 21st well if you've watched my videos for a

while you probably heard me say I don't know where the report is I haven't seen

any of it I don't know what's going on it was supposed to come out on December

21st or 22nd what's the deal okay well let's go back to the executive

order and here we go section B within 45 days of receiving the assessment and

information described in section 1a of this order the Attorney General and the

Secretary of Homeland Security in consultation with the heads of any other

appropriate agencies and as appropriate state and local officials shall deliver

to the president the Secretary of State the Secretary of the Treasury and the

Secretary of Defense a report evaluating with respect to the United States

election that is the subject of the assessment described in section 1a

and then it goes through and it talks about the things that are supposed to be

included in that report so what they're saying is they had 45 days to conduct

the investigation the assessment and then within the next 45 days they were

supposed to prepare a report and deliver it to the president

the Secretary of State and so forth so let's add 45 more days here we have 45

days and this time instead of being November 6th we're going to take

December 21st and look what it comes up with Monday February 4th of 2019 and the

State of the Union address is when February 5th huh

isn't that interesting so this report is either in POTUS hands or is going to be

in POTUS hands in the next few days that could be very interesting now it goes

through and it talks about all these different things about what extent to

which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure

materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure and

also that any foreign interference involved activities targeting

infrastructure of or pertaining to political organization campaign or

candidate the extent to which such activities materially affected the

security or integrity of that infrastructure including by unauthorized

access to disclosure or threatened disclosure of sounds kind of like if you

don't do what we tell you to we're going to disclose this bad thing about you or

alteration or falsification of information or data as it goes through

it talks about some of the different things and lots of the legal bases that

had to be covered here with it but there's very interesting it will have

this report that's supposed to be in the president's hands now whether he puts

that out in the public or not that's up to him but he has that information I

suspect he has the information now and he's probably putting

together and likely we'll be using it for his speech however I don't want to

get your hopes up okay this does not necessarily mean that it's going to be

oh look at all these people who cheated look at how the Democrats cheated and

they rigged the election and I don't know that that necessarily is going to

be addressed by this because there's a heavy focus on the foreign influence and

so I don't know if this is going to really be addressing any of the local

ones having to do with within states or anything like that unless there was some

connection with a foreign entity so I wanted to point that out to you I don't

want you to get your hopes up and say oh this is going to just reveal all the

voter fraud that's been going on it could it might but it might also prove

connections with different foreign entities and foreign persons and that

might even play into a better role than the local ones and I know it's very

important to get the statewide voter fraud exposed but I think it's also

important to know if there are foreign governments foreign entities foreign

persons who are channeling money towards certain campaigns in the United States

you gotta remember the very important concept of psychological projection now

I have a video on that if you've not seen this it was about Nancy Pelosi and

psychological projection but you have to understand the concept when it comes to

the entire Democrat Party whatever they accuse the Republicans of that's what

they're doing so it's really important to keep that in mind as we talk about

this because the whole Russian narrative was that Trump colluded with the

Russians and we know that's not true and the reason that they were doing that

it's projection they're accusing Trump of what they themselves have done if you

recall when Trump and Putin met in Helsinki Putin said that there was a big

bunch of money that had been channeled into the Clinton campaign

by US intelligence officials there's another lease to position and this the

kind of effort should be a mutual then we would expect that the Americans

reciprocate and they would question officials including the law enforcement

and intelligence services of the United States whom we believe who have

something to do with illegal actions on the territory of Russia is devious and

we have to to request the presence of our law enforcement for instance we can

bring up the will just mister Browder

have earned over they never paid any taxes in the United States and yet the

money that is the millions of escaped countries play will transfer to the

United States yet if it's only done they sent huge amount of money 400 million be

has a contribution to the campaign of Hillary case it might have been legal

unless he's just know in your contribution itself but the way the

money was earned was illegal so we have a super solid reason to believe that

some intelligence officers company and guided in these transactions so we have

an interests of question I wanted to remind you of that because that was very

significant and you know it got no air play at all in the press why not well

because it was pointing at Hillary Clinton colluding with Russian entities

and the press had to take the heat off of that comment so what did they do

that's when they focused on Trump and Aussie he was in there by himself with

Putin and what did he say and we don't know when he's a traitor and this and

that and that's why they were so vocal about it because they were trying to

hide that little fact that Vladimir Putin slipped in there in the press

conference I mean it was like whoa he just really said that and

everyone ignored it I mean all of the news I can't believe that really nobody

picked up on it and did much with it because it was like whoa that's kind of

big so let's get back to this so we have this report that's supposed to be coming

out and it's gonna be talking about you know when they talk about entity they

mean like a business entity they're dealing with all of these different

things persons any of this connection and if you look down here they're gonna

be blocking and prohibiting all transactions in a person's property and

interests and property subject to the United States jurisdiction export

license restrictions under any statute or regulation that requires the prior

review and approval of the United States government I mean these are the things

that are going to happen prohibitions on United States financial institutions

making loans are providing credit to a person restrictions on transactions in

foreign exchange in which a person has any interest prohibitions on transfers

of credit or payments between financial institutions I mean this is really

cutting off a big source of revenue look at this one prohibitions on United

States person's investing in or purchasing equity or debt of a person so

this is really limiting what these people can do that means that if there's

outside money coming in to influence our elections those people they're gonna

find that their source of income has dried up and they're not gonna have

access to that money anymore this is going to be huge I mean when

we're thinking about this the picture is so big because of the corruption is just

so huge that I think most of us don't really comprehend what's happening but

there has been a systematic maybe call it even surgical precise targeting of

the finances of the global cabal that's what Trump has been doing all along

he's been cutting off these individual sources of income that are really

crippling the Cabal because they're losing their finances and that's why I

think in my previous video I did about the Roth's

child and they were liquidating their last land holdings in Austria I don't

think that's by chance I think they're running out of money they needed to

liquidate for a reason because Trump and his people have been cutting off their

sources of income they've been blocking it and so there's

less money for them to work with and they're having to do some things to gain

working capital but anyway if you go on in this it goes down and it talks about

different things that they are doing where they would have the receipt of any

contribution or provision of funds goods or services from any such person that's

the people that have been blocked because they were found guilty of doing

this and look what he says here in Section six I hereby find that the

unrestricted immigrant and non-immigrant entry into the United States of aliens

whose property and interests and property are blocked pursuant to this

order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States and I

hereby suspend entry into the United States as immigrants or non immigrants

of such persons such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section

one and it has here the travel ban type things if foreign entities have been

caught doing this and trying to influence our elections or giving money

to certain campaigns they can be blocked from coming in to the United States and

that can be huge so it's trying to block things they're

making sure that all the little loopholes are closed up and of course

any conspiracy form to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order

is prohibited and then in this where it says the term United States person means

any United States citizen permanent resident alien entity organized under

the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States

including foreign branches or any person including a foreign person in the United

States so that could definitely open up to some of the illegals who voted

being caught and having this imposed on them at least to me it seems like it's a

possibility with that and then if you go on down here it defines foreign

interference with respect to an election includes any covert fraudulent deceptive

or unlawful actions or attempted actions of a foreign government or of any person

acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government undertaken with the

purpose or effect of influencing undermining confidence in or altering

the result or reported result of the election or undermining public

confidence in election processes or institutions so that's kind of broad

really what they will be looking for and what they should be working on but again

notice the emphasis on foreign I'm really not seeing a lot of it being an

internal investigation and more of an external investigation it goes down here

to section 9 I really want you to see this because I think this is kind of

interesting for those persons whose property and interests in property are

blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the

United States I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other

assets instantaneously prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken

pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual I therefore

determined that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national

emergency declared in this order there need be no prior notice of a listing or

determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order so in other words they can

do it all at once before these people even know it's going to be done to them

so before the report becomes public I'm assuming that there are going to be some

instances of this happening where people have suddenly had their assets frozen or

they have had their property taken whatever the case is it's going to

happen quickly and those who are guilty aren't going to know about it in advance

and I think that set us up with the same mindset as the

sealed indictments this is why I really do believe that we have a massive number

of sealed indictments out there because this is how they're working they're

saying we can't let these people know ahead of times because of the

instantaneous transfer of funds they could easily be swapping out funds

putting them in different places and so if they do it quickly and they arrest

them and they they take them out before it all becomes public they're going to

have a better advantage they're going to be able to seize more of the funds I

assume from this that probably before the arrests come that they're going to

already have the assets frozen so if they have not frozen them already but I

don't think they want to tip their hand I think it's gonna pretty much happen

simultaneously they've been cutting off the different arteries but they haven't

really gotten to seizing the assets yet or freezing them so I think that's

probably going to happen simultaneously with the arrest that's my opinion on

that it makes sense to me because again you don't want to give them a heads up

that hey you're going to be arrested so I can't say that's for sure that's just

my opinion that makes the most sense to me so I think it's just interesting

that's what we have there will be some things come from this report I'm just

not sure exactly what the results going to be and I tend to think it's going to

be more focused towards foreign entities than it is going to be focused on the

illegals voting or the voter fraud that we have within the country however there

are some things that may come from it this is an article from back in 2016 now

somebody asked me in the last video a couple of things that I had in that

video were old yeah they are but part of the problem we have is that our press

has such a stranglehold on the American people's minds that people have not seen

the truth before and they are just now waking up to some things for instance

I've actually been aware of a lot of things going on but yet I miss the thing

about the car back in 2017 I have so many people of so

many different knowledge levels watching these videos that I don't know if you've

been awake for a while or if you just woke up and if you just woke up - hey

the media isn't telling us the truth what have they left out then I'm going

to include some of these things like the thing about Nancy Pelosi in the insider

trading yeah she has been doing that and sadly it seems she's not the only one

but you may not have heard of that and so I wanted to include it I found the

clip I knew about it but I found the clip that supported it so I wanted to

put that out there so you could see it if you are already very familiar with

these things that's great but I want to also include things for people who might

not be aware and might just be coming to the realization that hey the media has

been deceiving us all this time well this article came out from the

Daily Caller back in 2016 October 2016 and it talks about the Smartmatic voting

machines and they has deep ties to George Soros if you've been following

George Soros you understand that he's had ties to these voting machines and

this did kind of come out a little bit before the 2016 election but just in

case for those who might not know that or who might have missed it along the

way I wanted to point this out to you yes the voting machines look at this in

16 states including battleground zones like Arizona Colorado Florida Michigan

Nevada Pennsylvania and Virginia other jurisdictions affected are California

District of Columbia Illinois Louisiana Missouri New Jersey Oregon Washington

and Wisconsin hmm think about those think of the 2018 election and think

about how many of those had questionable election results kind of corresponds

doesn't it this talks about a flowchart that they had and it had 57,000 voting

and counting machines deployed and 35 million voters assisted now if you go to

the website it doesn't have it it's been removed but you can go to this link from

the wayback machine and you can see what it looked like so

this is what they did have on their website but they took it off but they

had 30 million voters assisted more than 50 elections and 50,000 voting and

counting machines deployed 307 jurisdictions in 16 states 392,000

electoral devices configured now think about that impact if all of this was

impacted by this company and notice this company is based where the UK so would

that fall under the foreign aspect of the executive order it very well might

so this might be how the voter fraud part is going to come out Trump had a

voter fraud commission that was looking into all of this voter fraud within the

United States and the Democrats kind of sabotaged it because the Commission

wanted to get voter rolls and they wanted to compare it with the government

immigration files the Democrats went ballistic on that they did not want that

to happen and it ended up stopping the Commission and the Commission was not

allowed to go on however just the other day like two days ago I saw an article

where in Maine they were asking for some information from that Commission so I'm

not sure if the some of the results are gonna be used for purposes of uncovering

some things I don't know but it was interesting that it did come back out

because it ended in 2017 since that Commission was active anyway I'll leave

this article down below you can read it on your own again this is from 2016 but

I think it's very pertinent especially if this has to do with foreign persons

or entities influencing our election and of course since this is uk-based that

could have a significant impact that's what I've got for you this time I

thought it was kind of interesting and hopefully this report will come out I

don't know when we'll get to see it or if we'll get to see it because according

to the executive order it doesn't sound to me like it has to be given to us but

it does have to be given to the president

and so he will have access to that and as we said with the date he will have

that before February 4th when his State of the Union addresses on February 5th

so I tend to think he's going to use some of those statistics and some of the

things they found in his speech I hope so

it's kind of interesting having Trump as a president because you never know

what's going to happen I mean it's a surprise all the time it just keeps you

on your toes right you just don't know what this man has up his sleeve but he's

got something he definitely has a plan he thinks on so many different levels I

just can't keep up with him sometimes I could not multitask like he does but I

really think the man is an actual genius I'd be interested in finding out what

his IQ is because I think it's stellar ok so before you go make sure that you

click that subscribe button because I've got a goal set in about 70 days I think

it is I have a birthday coming up in April and I want to hit 60,000

subscribers it's gonna be a stretch and I understand that but I really would

love to see that happen the more subscribers you have the more views your

video actually gets because they tend to promote it more when you have a bigger

channel so again it's all about getting the word out there getting this

information to people so let them know about this executive order is it

something that's going to be important I think it is I think there was a reason

it came out I don't think it was by coincidence that this report was

supposed to come out about the time as the State of the Union so I think Trump

had this planned all along that this is the timing he put this out on September

12 so it came out right around now was he expecting the shutdown to last this

long very possibly so it's gonna be an

interesting few days and I can't wait until the State of the Union it's gonna

be exciting to see what he has to say last year's was tremendous but I tell

you what he puts tip top in this you're going to hear all the

in the world have a collective read out there so anyway I did want to point that

out to you listen for it I don't know if he's gonna put it in there an anon asked

for it last year for the so - but he didn't put it in there but he did put it

in for the Easter at the White House so it has been confirmed in that respect

but it sure would be wonderful if he put it in this so - we would all love it so

that's what I've got for you I want to thank you for stopping by and I'll see

y'all later

31.01.2019: Oil traders waiting for US-China talks (WTI, BRENT, USD/CAD, USD/RUB) - Duration: 2:19.

Today crude oil is trading higher on the back of

the latest EIA report.

The official data showed that the weekly stockpiles of crude oil in the United States increased

by 919 thousand barrels while experts predicted a much higher rise of 3 million barrels.

Such a slow increase was contributed to a fall in supplies from Saudi Arabia.

Last time, this country shipped just 442 thousand barrels that was the lowest value for the

past nine years.

WTI prices were trading near the level of 54.60 dollars per barrel, adding about 0.6%

since the previous trading session.

Experts say that OPEC's restrictive measures have a profound impact on the oil market.

The Brent crude benchmark also advanced, but then retreated slightly.

After reaching the level of 62.60 dollars per barrel, it slid towards 62 dollars again.

The price is falling despite a disruption of supplies from Venezuela that came under

the US sanctions.

The upcoming meeting between Beijing and Washington absorbs attention of market participants.

The outcome of this meeting can influence both the oil market and the commodity currencies.

Meanwhile, these currencies benefit from the weaker US dollar that lost ground after the

FOMC monetary policy meeting.

The USD/CAD pair plunged by over 1%, having settled near the level of 1.3120.

Today Canada will unveil the GDP data that can change the dynamics of this currency pair.

At the same time, the Russian ruble managed to increase profits against its American counterpart.

The USD/RUB pair fell by 60 pips to the area below 65.40.

Analysts anticipate that the ruble may end this trading week in the positive zone against

the US dollar.

However, the upcoming US-China talks can change the current market situation.

The results of this meeting will set the tone for trading next week.

Spend US Military Defense Budget ($716 Billion) In 24 Hours or Lose It All - CHALLENGE - Duration: 10:01.

Hello Infographics fans, and welcome to another special challenge episode of The Infographics

Show.

Today we're taking on the US defense budget, and asking you to find a way to spend every

penny in 24 hours.

As usual you're not allowed to give anything away to charity, and you have to spend all

of it or return everything you bought and pay back everything you spent.

Just like last time if you fail all the money goes instead to an organization dedicated

to kicking kittens- but this time we're adding some innocent puppies into the mix too.

So think you can do a better job then us?

Stay tuned and let us know after the video!

For fiscal year 2019 the US Defense budget stands at a whopping $716 billion, largest

it's ever been.

Yet while this figure may seem astronomical, in reality it's only a few percentage points

of the US's total GDP, and a far cry from World War II when the US spent almost 50%

of its GDP on defense!

Ever since the decline of the Soviet Union the US's defense budget has steadily decreased

from 6.8% of GDP to about 4.5% today- so while the figure has grown in dollars, it's largely

stayed pace with US economic growth.

So how can we blow through $716 billion in 24 hours?

We here at The Infographics Show are big fans of space exploration, and while sending robots

and drones to the outer reaches of the solar system are a great and safe way to gather

data, nothing compares to the achievements of the US's Apollo space program, which brought

us the first human visitors to a heavenly body.

Our first item on our list is thus going to be a resurrection of the entire Apollo space

program- that's right, we're going to do what the US and governments around the world have

been reluctant to do for decades: we're putting humans back in space.

None of this low-orbit hanging around nonsense either, we're looking at the moon and then

after that, Mars.

We've got places to go, and aliens to meet!

But getting humans back into deep space after our decades-long hiatus isn't going to be

easy, we're gonna have to take it easy, so first we're going to return to the moon a

few times in order to try out new technologies and make sure we still know how to survive

past low earth orbit.

At a cost of 25.4 billion dollars in 1973, re-launching the entire Apollo Program today

would cost about $144.3 billion.

But on second thought- we've been to the moon, why are we going back to old stomping grounds?

Let's skip the moon instead and just head straight to Mars!

Due to a severe lack of vision on our elected leaders behalf, costs right now for a mission

to Mars are difficult to ascertain- but it's estimated that a Mars mission by 2035 would

cost $230 billion dollars.

Because Mars is so far away and could take up to a year and a half to reach, our crew

won't be flying in a regular space capsule- instead we'll be building a multi-hubbed traveling

space station, complete with living and research facilities.

Therefore our $230 billion price tag would cover the costs of multiple launches of NASA's

new space workhorse, the Space Launch System, all to get the pieces of our spacecraft into

orbit.

Nine months later we'll be touching down on the lonely red planet and planting our Infographics

flag on mankind's new frontier!

That's $230 billion down, and $486 billion to go!

Putting humanity back on a path to the stars though is going to require some smart thinkers,

so we think the smartest thing to do is to invest in America's students.

For years the US has debated free higher education for its millions of students, with considerable

pushback from those who view the cost as too great to bear.

Lucky for us, we've got hundreds of billions to give away for free and think that investing

in education is a pretty smart bet- so we're going to pay for four years of college for

all American students.

With an estimated $75 billion a year cost, that brings the total figure to $300 billion

for four years, which we think is a small price to pay for the influx of new engineers,

scientists, and economists that we'll receive in 4 years.

Truthfully though we're just following in the footsteps of US history- after World War

II the MGI Bill provided free college education to returning war veterans, seeing a whopping

8 million service members earn their degrees.

The MGI Bill in many respects helped build the foundation of scientists, engineers, teachers

and thinkers who created the information age and catapulted the United States to its position

as a global leader.

That puts us at $530 billion, leaving us with $186 billion to go!

The UN estimates that nearly 800 million people don't have enough to eat every day- that's

about 10% of the world's population.

In order to combat world hunger, the UN wants to bring individuals around the world up to

the World Bank's poverty line of $1.25 a day- which would cost the world $116 billion a

year.

However, just feeding people isn't solving the problem, and in order to radically change

the conditions of hundreds of millions of impoverished or working poor people around

the world the UN sees a need for an aggressive program of expanding irrigation, infrastructure,

and creating credit facilities and cash transfers via aid programs to help farmers and workers

get access to tools they need to help themselves.

That would cost the entire planet an estimated $151 billion a year, or right around .15%

of the total global GDP.

To us, investing in people so they can help themselves is far more attractive option than

just a hand out, so we're going to put up the $151 billion needed for the first year

of the UN's program to help the global poor.

That brings our total expenses so far to $681 billion, leaving us with $35 billion.

For our next few purchases, we think we've been more than charitable already- it's time

to spend on us, and boy have we got a special purchase in mind.

Move over, Queen Elizabeth, cuz your fancy digs are now officially ours.

With 775 rooms and sitting 5 stories across 828,821 square feet, Buckingham palace is

the most iconic residence in the world, and at a value of 2.7 billion US dollars, it's

practically a steal for our oversized budget.

But why stop with the Queen's home?

What's a kingly castle- or queenly in this case we suppose- without the bling that goes

along with it?

Spanning a collection of over 140 objects that range from crowns to swords, to altar

plates and fancy robes, and encrusted with 23,578 precious stones, the Crown jewels of

the United Kingdom are the most expensive collection of jewelry in the world.

This collection includes items such as the Cullinan I, the largest clear cut diamond

in the world at 530 carats, and the coronation spoon used to anoint the monarch as Supreme

Governor of the Church of England way back in the 12thcentury!

Estimates vary, but run as high as 6.3 billion US dollars for the whole collection!

That brings our total to $9 billion for our fancy new digs and our serious world class

bling, for a grand total of $690 billion, and $26 billion left over.

Next up we're going to indulge a little bit in our love for soccer and basketball both.

In 2018 the most valuable soccer clubs in the world were Manchester United at 4.1 billion,

and Real Madrid at 4.09 billion, with each team pulling in $737 and $735 million in revenue

every year.

At a combined price of 8.19 billion dollars, buying up these two soccer heavyweights- or

football as they are known literally everywhere but the US- is a smart investment, but we're

not done.

You have to spend money to make money, and we're going to go ahead and spend another

6.9 billion to buy two of the most popular basketball teams in the world: the New York

Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, each worth 3.6 and 3.3 billion respectively, and pulling

in $426 million and $371 million every year, for a combined total of $797 million revenue

a year!

That nets us a total income of 2.3 billion dollars every year for a one-time fee of $15.1

billion dollars- a very smart investment indeed!

That brings our total costs to $705.1 billion dollars, leaving us with $10.9 billion.

Our last purchase is going to be something for all of you- our adoring fans.

With 3,985,480 of you subscribed to us as of this writing, and more of you pushing us

to 4 million and beyond every day, we wanted to say thank you- so we're going to spend

10.9 billion dollars to buy all of you 34,187 ice cream sandwiches!

That's 93 sandwiches you can eat per day for an entire year, or enough ice cream sandwiches

to last you for 94 years if you ate one a day!

That's one heck of a tasty thank you from us to you!

U.S. House proposes bill to stall U.S. pullout from S. Korea - Duration: 2:44.

Anticipation builds as we are expecting a summit between Pyeongyang and Washington to

take place next month.

Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives proposed a bill.... to send a message to North

Korean leader Kim Jong-un before his next summit with President Trump.

Park Ji-won gets us up to speed with the developments.

A bipartisan group of eight U.S. lawmakers proposed a bill on Wednesday... aiming to

preemptively stop the Trump administration from withdrawing U.S. forces from South Korea.

The bill, titled the "United States and Republic of Korea Alliance Support Act," lays out stricter

conditions that would have to be met to justify a withdrawal,.. something that could tip the

balance of power in Northeast Asia.

The bill says... if the administration decides to reduce the number of U.S. troops to below

22-thousand,... the secretary of defense must report to both the House and the Senate the

expected impact on North Korea,.... as well as the expected military and economic impacts

on U.S. relations with both South Korea and Japan.

The bill also requires the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

to jointly certify... to the relevant congressional committees... that South Korea is fully capable

of defending itself and of deterring any military conflict on the Peninsula... that would threaten

U.S. interests.

The lawmakers apparently made the decision in view of the next summit between the North

Korean and American leaders... tentatively scheduled for next month.

"We think it's important to establish before the next meeting between President Trump and

Kim Jong-un that the United States is not about to leave South Korea at least not before

there's transformational progress on the Korean Peninsula.

Our presence there has prevented war for more than 60 years.

It would be reckless we think to abandon this commitment on the basis of paper promises

from the North Koreans while they continue to threaten the region with both nuclear and

conventional weapons."

The bill was announced a day after a top U.S. intelligence official testified to Congress

that North Korea's complete denuclearization seems unlikely.

President Trump has already signed a similar defense act restricting any U.S. pullout from

South Korea.

That bill,.. signed last August as part of the defense budget,... restricts the use of

the fund to reduce the number of U.S. forces in South Korea below 22-thousand,... unless

the secretary of defense certifies that such moves are in line with U.S. interests.

This week's new bill would tighten those rules.

US NEWS | Trump facing historically bad numbers for re election in 2020 Politics - Duration: 2:50.

US NEWS | Trump facing historically bad numbers for re election in 2020 Politics

His net approval rating approval rating minus disapproval rating has consistently been negative.

But that figure on its own doesnt necessarily mean Trump will be defeated in 2020. As conservative commentators like Newt Gingrich and have correctly pointed out, President Ronald Reagan had at this point in his presidency before going on to a blowout victory in his 1984 re election campaign.

New polling finds, however, the depth of the opposition against Trump is considerably deeper than it was against Reagan. This suggests Trump could have a much more difficult job turning around his bad ratings than Reagan or really any president in the modern polling era.

An astounding 56 percent of voters said they would definitely vote against Trump in the 2020 general election, compared with 28 percent who said they would definitely vote for him and 14 percent who would consider voting for him,

Compare that with a Garth Analysis Survey in February 1983 for Reagan i.e. right around this same point in Reagans presidency . Just 32 percent of voters said they would definitely vote against Reagan, 31 percent said they consider voting for someone else and 26 percent said theyd definitely support Reagan.

In other words, by a margin of 24 points, more of the public say now that they are definitely voting against Trump in 2020 than those who said they would definitely vote against Reagan in the 1984 cycle.

Interestingly, Reagan and Trump had similar size core bases. The 26 percent who say theyd definitely vote for Reagan is only 2 points below the 28 percent who say theyd definitely vote for Trump.

Reagan, though, had a slew of potential supporters who Trump seems to be lacking. More than double the percentage of voters were at least open to voting for Reagan 31 percent than say they are open to voting for Trump 14 percent . Another 10 percent said they didnt know about Reagan, while just 1 percent say that for Trump. Together, those who would definitely vote for Reagan and who would consider voting for him hit 57 percent . For Trump, it reaches only 42 percent .

Indeed, for all the presidents for whom this question was asked, Trump clearly has the firmest opposition.

Just 32 percent said in a January 2003 Ipsos poll that they would definitely be voting against George W. Bush. A plurality of 40 percent said they would definitely vote for him, with 25 percent considering voting for Bush. Combined, 65 percent said they would at least consider voting for Bush.

For Obama, the highest "definitely vote against" I could find for him in 2011 was 47 percent in a . Even in his worst poll, 52 percent said they would either definitely vote for him 27 percent or would consider voting for him 25 percent . Again, that number for Trump right now is 42 percent , 10 points lower.

Now before we get too carried away, I obviously should note were still almost two years away from the 2020 election. A lot of things can potentially happen to change these numbers.

But these stats paint a very grim picture for the President. Anyone who thinks it will be easy for Trump to persuade his doubters is sorely mistaken.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll is just the latest to suggest that Trumps opposition is considerably more locked in than approval ratings alone would suggest.

As , a record 47 percent of Americans already say they believe the Trump presidency will be unsuccessful. This means Americans dont just disapprove of Trump in the moment but believe they wont ever change their minds about him. That 47 percent is higher than any poll taken at any point for any presidency in the last 25 years. This includes well into the second half of George W. Bushs second term, after Hurricane Katrina, the bad 2006 midterms for Republicans and an Iraq War that had gone south in Americans minds.

An found that same percentage 45 percent of Americans think Trump is doing a poor job on a scale that goes from excellent to pretty good to only fair to poor as President as thought Richard Nixon was doing a poor job two weeks before he resigned.

US NEWS | Rare seismic event called a frost quake may have happened overnight

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa KCRG Extremely cold air like we have this week can cause lots of creaking and snapping sounds, but on rare occasions, it can cause a boom or bang. If you heard one, you may have heard a cryoseism, or frost quake.

There are few things that need to be in place for frost quakes to happen:

• First, the ground has to saturated with water. Soil moisture in Iowa is running very high because of the wet fall and early winter.

• Second, the temperature has to have a big drop in a fairly short amount of time. Temperatures on Monday were in the lower 20s and are now some 40 degrees colder just a couple of days later.

• Third, the snowpack shouldnt be very deep since that can insulate the ground. Snow depths in the region are generally around a foot, which may be deep enough to limit frost quakes.

When the moisture in the ground freezes, it expands and puts pressure on the things around it. If that stress gets strong enough, it may only be able to relieve that stress in a sudden, explosive way as a frost quake.

Frost quakes can be strong enough to make the ground to shake over a very small area and even crack at the surface.

U.S. Midwest Freezes, Australia Burns This Is the Age of Weather Extremes The New York Times - Duration: 0:32.

U.S. Midwest Freezes, Australia Burns This Is the Age of Weather Extremes The New York Times

Want climate news in your inbox? , our email newsletter.

In Chicago, officials warned about the risk of almost instant frostbite on what could be the citys coldest day ever. Warming centers opened around the Midwest. And schools and universities closed throughout the region as rare polar winds streamed down from the Arctic.

At the same time, on the other side of the planet, . Soaring air conditioner use overloaded electrical grids and caused widespread power failures. The authorities slowed and canceled trams to save power. Labor leaders called for laws that would require businesses to close when temperatures reached hazardous levels: nearly 116 degrees Fahrenheit, or 47 Celsius, as was the case last week in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

This is weather in the age of extremes. It comes on top of multiple extremes, all kinds, in all kinds of places.

When something happens — whether its a cold snap, a wildfire, a hurricane, any of those things — we need to think beyond what we have seen in the past and assume theres a high probability that it will be worse than anything weve ever seen, said Crystal A. Kolden, an associate professor at the University of Idaho, who specializes in wildfires and who is currently working in Tasmania during one of the states worst fire seasons.

Consider these recent examples: Heat records were toppled from last year. In parts of Australia, a drought has gone on so long that a child in kindergarten will hardly have seen rain in her lifetime. And California saw its most ruinous wildfires ever in 2018, this week by the states largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric.

Is it climate change?

Heat and drought extremes are consistent with scientific consensus: More greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere bring a greater likelihood of abnormally high temperatures. Also, broadly speaking, scientists say, a hotter planet makes extreme weather more frequent and more intense.

The real life numbers bear out the climate models. Concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher than they have been in 800,000 years, and average global temperatures have risen. The last four years have been the hottest on record, , and the 20 warmest years on record have all come in the past 22 years. Ocean temperatures several straight years.

As for the extremely low temperatures this week in parts of the United States, they stand in sharp contrast to the . They may also be a result of warming, strangely enough.

Emerging research suggests that a warming Arctic is causing and pushing polar air down to latitudes that are unaccustomed to them and often unprepared. Hence this weeks atypical chill over large swaths of the Northeast and Midwest.

Friederike Otto, an Oxford University climate scientist who studies how specific weather events are exacerbated by global warming, said that while not all of these extreme events can be attributed to climate change, the profound changes in the earths atmosphere raise the likelihood of a large number of extreme events.

This means it becomes crucial to understand well where your community is vulnerable and this can be something that was not on the agenda without climate change, she said.

Take Chicago, for instance. It woke up to the hazards of heat two decades ago, when a five day heat wave in the summer of 1995 killed hundreds of people, particularly those who lived alone. The city developed a heat action plan. It planted thousands of trees, set up neighborhood cooling centers and created a text messaging system so residents could request that city officials check on vulnerable people.

Now comes that a generation of Chicago residents has never experienced, with Wednesday night temperatures that dipped to minus 21 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 29 Celsius the citys record low is minus 27 Fahrenheit, recorded in January 1985 . The city said it would send out five buses to cruise the streets as mobile warming centers for homeless people. It has issued instructions on how to warm pipes so they dont freeze.

Even on a day when it is colder than average where you live, the world as a whole is frequently warmer than average. You can even see it for yourself.

Extreme heat, though, is the bigger problem overall.

in the United States since the 2000s.

One recent projected a fivefold rise in heat related deaths for the United States by 2080. The outlook for less wealthy countries is worse; for the Philippines, researchers forecast 12 times more deaths. Extreme heat is already devastating the health and livelihoods of tens of millions of people, especially in South Asia.

Extreme heat also affects the nutritional value of many crops. Even some of our most precious indulgences, , are in danger as temperatures rise.

This year, heat has been a problem in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In Alaska, warmer than usual temperatures forced the , while cities in New Zealand, where the weather is generally so temperate that most homes dont have heating or air conditioners, broke heat records. On Tuesday, Wellington, the capital, soared past 87 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest since record keeping began in 1927, and Hamilton topped 91 degrees, the highest since record keeping began in 1940.

Bob Henson, a meteorologist at Weather Underground, a forecasting service, said that in preparing for how climate change affects the weather, we have to be prepared for a wider range of possibilities.

Chicago will be as cold as the Arctic on Wednesday. Well show you why.

Some preparation is connected to resiliency. Mayors promise to make their cities more resilient to climate change after one disaster or another. Scientists experiment with crop seeds that are more resilient to the vagaries of extreme heat and drought.

Dr. Kolden, the fire specialist, noted that as a species, we pride ourselves on being resilient. But that human trait can also have a downside. Its why, often, even when officials tell us to evacuate from a fire zone or a flood plain, we dont. We think well make it, because weve made it before. Or that the forecasters are wrong.

In our DNA, weve got this extreme resilience baked in, Dr. Kolden said. That ends up being our downfall when it comes to the changing conditions.

Chicago residents are a hearty bunch. They know how to keep things moving when the weather turns cold.

But what about when its this cold? Like wind chill of 50 below zero cold? Getting around is lot tougher. When that happens, the folks who keep the commuter trains running in the Windy City employ a hot idea: They set the train tracks on fire.

Flames were seen sprouting from the tracks of Chicagos Metra commuter rail system on Tuesday.

Metra isnt literally setting the tracks ablaze, spokesman Michael Gillis told CNN. The flames actually come from gas fed heaters that run alongside the rails and keep them warm. Metra also uses a tubular heating system and hot air blowers to heat up cold track.

"Anytime its below freezing were using these," said Gillis, who said other rail systems in North America use similar systems.

Why? Tracks are affected by extreme cold in two ways.

In some cases the tracks experience whats called "pull aparts." This kind of rail defect occurs when two rails separate at their connection. The extreme cold shrinks the metal and the rails literally pull apart from each other, Metra said in a recent Heating the tracks with fire expands the metal until the two rails can be put back together again.

Railroad switch points can also become clogged with ice and snow in subzero conditions, so the heating system is used to unclog them. Maintenance crews light the heaters by hand and can control the flow of the gas, Metra said. The crew members, working 12 hour shifts, remain in the area when the heating systems are being used so they can monitor the flames.

A few railroad ties are sometimes damaged by the heat, but this method is a lot safer than the one the rail system used to employ to thaw frozen tracks. Crews previously used pots filled with kerosene, stuck them in spaces between the track ties and lit them by hand.

"We all used to carry this stuff. I called it skunk oil," John Meyer, Metras director of engineering, said on the . "We poured it in a 2 gallon can, poured it out, and threw a match in it, and itd start a fire along all the rails. Were talking in the mid 70s. Nowadays youd get in big trouble doing that."

Metra says its safe to run the trains over the flames because the diesel fuel in the trains "combusts only with pressure and heat, not open flames."

As a polar vortex brought subzero temperatures to much of the Central U.S. on Wednesday, Midwesterners have once again embraced a cherished internet era tradition of throwing boiling water in the freezing air and posting videos of the results a spectacular white cloud on social media. Its the Arctic version of trying to fry eggs on car hoods during heat waves.

Now this is a real cold weather science experiment. At 14 F/ 26C, boiling water quickly condenses into a cloud of microdroplets. These can freeze due to large surface to volume ratio. Never throw hot water towards anyone. Being hit by boiling water is unpleasant.

Provided you dont hurt yourself or others near you like dozens of people did last time it got this cold , the boiling water trick is nice a do it yourself physics experiment that can be a useful lesson about the properties of heat and water. The Times talked to a couple of physicists about whats really happening.

Is the water freezing midair?

A lot of people say boiling water freezes immediately, but thats not whats happening, said Jeff Terry, a professor of physics at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Its not an instantaneous freezing of the water.

In a video he tweeted Wednesday, Terry threw a pot of boiling water into minus 14 degree air, creating a big white cloud that drifted away, with dozens of small contrails streaking toward the ground.

The big cloud is condensate, or water that has quickly condensed into tiny droplets, which is the same reason you can see your breath when its cold outside. The smaller streaks are from condensate coming off falling water droplets not water that has frozen midair.

The air is not quite cold enough to freeze water immediately, which happens at about minus 42 degrees, Terry said.

Its not snowing down, he said. You dont see ice crystals falling to the ground. Theoretically, if it were colder, you could actually see that.

Does it really matter if the water is hot? Minus 14 degrees is pretty cold.

Boiling water or hot water evaporates much, much more rapidly than cold water, said Jonathan I. Katz, a professor of physics at Washington University in St. Louis. The amount of vapor increases very rapidly as the temperature goes up.

For that reason, throwing boiling water into the air will look more impressive than throwing room temperature water. More of it will evaporate, making a bigger cloud.

Nor do you get the same effect when its warm outside. Cold air cant hold as much moisture as warm air.

Ive heard that hot water freezes faster than room temperature water. Is that whats happening?

No, the important principle in the boiling water trick is how fast the water evaporates, Katz said.

Any advice?

Try and disperse the water as much as you can, to maximize evaporation, Terry said.

Oh, and another thing: You never want to throw it into the wind.

You gotta think this through just a little bit before you do it, Terry said. It is kind of a cool science experiment, right? If you do it carefully, you can do this without really a tremendous amount of risk to yourself. But thats always the problem, that people dont do things carefully.

U.S., China kick off 2-day high level meeting to end months-long trade war - Duration: 1:56.

top officials from the United States and China kicked off a critical round of

talks on Wednesday aimed at ending their six-month trade war that which really

has caused chaos in the global economy for more on this and other news from

around the world let's turn to our know Adam so Adam what are we hearing thus

far well mark negotiations are underway as you said but as of yet we don't know

what has been said between both sides the two-day meeting is taking place next

door to the White House it is the highest level talk since President Trump

and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed to a 90 day truce in their trade

war at the end of last year the US delegation is being led by trade

representative Robert light Iser and Beijing's vice premier Liu her is

heading the Chinese side resident Trump plans to meet with mr. Liu at the

conclusion of the talks on Thursday the discussions come as both countries face

a March 2nd deadline to reach a trade agreement if they don't then the Trump

administration will raise tariffs on 200 billion u.s. dollars of Chinese imports

and Beijing will likely retaliate the meeting also comes just days after the

US Justice Department snapped a slew of federal charges against Chinese telecoms

giant Huawei and its chief financial officer mingwan Hsiao the White House

insists that issue is separate from trade talks

but given Beijing's heated reaction it is hard to imagine that Chinese

officials will not raise the issue during the meeting meanwhile the US side

will likely bring up its claim that China is stealing American intellectual

property rights it is also pushing for China to end policies that Washington

says force US companies to transfer technology to Chinese firms Beijing

denies the allegations and may not be willing to address these issues on the

whole hopes for the negotiations to end well are high but expectations are low
