For some reason or another,... North Korea decided against launching any major provocations
to mark a number of key anniversaries in April.
Most experts believe it's because the regime bowed to pressure from its long-standing ally,
China.
But will Beijing continue to keep the heat on Pyongyang?
Connie Kim reports.
China has shown a tougher stance on North Korea for its nuclear weapons and missiles
following the summit earlier this month between Presidents Trump and Xi.
To show it's serious about the issue,... on day two of that summit, China's customs agency
issued an official order telling trading companies to send back shipments of North Korean coal.
This month has seen intense scrutiny of the North, which celebrated its late founder Kim
Il-sung's birthday and the anniversary of the founding of its army -- possible occasions
for it to carry out provocations.
China's foreign ministry warned North Korea not to take actions that raise tensions on
the Korean peninsula, and Beijing's state media threatened that oil supplies to the
North could be cut -- a brutal blow for Pyongyang, which relies heavily on China for oil.
So far, pressure from China and the U.S. seems to be working.
Pyongyang did not end up launching missiles or testing a nuclear device on those dates.
"The Chinese have a lot more room than they let on.
They could block North Korean money in Chinese banks for example.
This oil embargo we are seeing right now again we don't know how serious Chinese are but
it seems to be having effect.// They could restrict Air Koryo, lots of things they can
do."
For the U.S., it's important for China to play an active role in putting a stop to North
Korea's nuclear weapons development.
"It is an outlaw regime, they've built a nuclear weapons capability.
//They've now threatened the west coast of the United States with the possibility that
in the future, in just a few years they might have a nuclear warhead and ballistic missile
capable of hitting California and Washington and Oregon.
But, now that those key anniversaries in the regime have passed without provocations, China
seems to be moving back towards its original North Korea policy.
Air China is resuming flights between Beijing and Pyongyang next month after a three-week
suspension, and an editorial by China's state-run Global Times floated the idea of offering
carrots to North Korea, claiming sticks alone might not stop the North's nuclear and missile
threats.

Fight Replay: Eddie Gordon vs. Tom Gallicchio | THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER - Duration: 1:56.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Tom came out aggressive.
He was holding his own on the stand up.
But it still got me worried, you know Tom got
cracked with some big shots.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Tom took a sloppy shot.
I think Eddie was surprised that Tom took him down, and tried
to just pop back up with no technique,
no fighting the hands, no worrying
about the hooks coming in.
Fight the hands.
Tom easily got to the backpack, you know.
Got his figure four around his back
and started instantly going for the rear naked choke.
That was the game play. - Don't worry about him.
Fight the choke. Fight the choke!
Eddie was trying to-- was fighting the hands at first.
And then he [INAUDIBLE] stop fighting the hands
and went for the foot.
You have to keep fighting hands at all costs,
especially in that position, up against the cage, standing,
[INAUDIBLE] you have to fight the choke hand.
Fight the hands, Eddie, feel the hands.
This is it, Tom!
Got it locked in deep, and arched his back,
and took Eddie to the ground with it.
Hey buddy, keep fighting.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Soon as he fell, I knew that $5,000 was going to be mine.
Now I can take my girl out on a vacation, or something.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Got him, baby!
Told you--
I told you I could stand up.
Told you.
Hard work.
Dedication.
You, hard work!
- Dedication! - Hard work!
Dedication!
One, two, three--
ALL: Team J.
Woo!
Come on over here, Tom.
Come over Eddie, it's all right.
Winner, by tap out due to rear naked choke, Tom Gallicchio.
[CHEERS]
I'm ecstatic, I'm pumped.
Tom stuck to the game plan perfectly, listened to me,
and I'm excited.
I'm excited to see how the rest of this season
is going to play out, and all the
wins we're going to gather up.

The 1st and 2nd Death ~ Pastor Wolle - Duration: 4:57.
Hi, Pastor Wolle here with today's topic "The 1st and 2nd Death" and the text from Revelation 1 ...
"I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave," Revelation 1:18 NLT.
The question as to whether Christ actually died or can a person likewise die or perhaps more than once?
If Jesus actually died, what does that mean for us with regard to His resurrection?
Scriptures in Genesis 1:26-28 tells us that we're spiritual beings in God's likeness, and have a soul.
And likewise with Jesus, born of Mary.
These two attributes of God's likeness can never die even though our body decays.
The death of Christ was actually a two part event:
1st, the bodily death on the Cross, and 2nd, a spiritual and soulish separation from the fellowship of His Father.
This was a death similar to that of a sacrificial Lamb of the Old Testament.
Jesus was the ultimate sacrificial Lamb, spotless and unblemished, i.e. fully sinless.
His corpse lay in a cave for three days, so to say 'preserved' similar to Lazarus.
In the meantime, His spirit and soul were in Hell, to fulfill God's prophecy of Acts 2:27 and Ps 16:8-11. That was His death!
Because Jesus was sinless, He was released from the realm of the dead and reunited with His body ...
... His resurrection ... and took His seat of Honor at God's right side.
This spiritual reunion in fellowship with God, His Father, completed the resurrection of our Jesus to one of eternal life and honor.
A Christian sanctified by Jesus' blood, when he dies, his spirit and soul are in the presence of God in heaven.
The body on the other hand remains in the grave or wherever it is until the appointed time of the upward call, 1 Thessalonians 4:16.
A sinner, on the other hand, has a full separation from God in the likeness of the Jesus who was crucified as a sinner and died.
That one is separated from the fellowship of God.
Even these will have a resurrection in order to stand before God on the Day of Judgement to receive His verdict.
They, together with Satan and his angels, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. That is the 2nd death of a person according to Revelation 2:11.
To us is said, in Hebrews 9, that the 1st death only occurs once with our last earthly breath.
After that comes the Judgement & for some, a 2nd death.
For this we're to be careful to guard our salvation and not indiscriminately.
Mankind has only one chance to gain entrance into eternal life. For that reason ...
"...work out your salvation with fear and trembling," Philippians 2:12 NASB.
"Then prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent," Philippians 2:15 NASB
Our example is Jesus ...
" ... holding fast the word of life," Philippians 2:16 NASB
"He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death," Revelation 2:11 NASB.
For that reason, remain alert and faithful to Jesus' Gospel message of Life.
Do that… until next time.

Urijah Faber goes face-to-face with T.J. Dillashaw over Team Alpha Male | THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER - Duration: 4:46.
DANA WHITE: The reason T.J. And Cody
have so much bad blood between them
is because of their history.
They were training partners at Team
Alpha Male under Urijah Faber.
Urijah brought in Duane Ludwig as the striking coach,
and T.J. really hit it off with him.
When Duane left and started his own gym in Colorado,
T.J. Started splitting time between Alpha Male
and Duane Ludwig's new gym.
So T.J. ended up leaving Team Alpha Male
and is now with Duane Ludwig full-time,
and that pissed off, obviously, Urijah Faber and most of Team
Alpha Male, including Cody.
Here's the deal.
You told me, hey, these guys are paying real [BLEEP] money.
I got sponsored by MusclePharm.
- So you left? - So you left?
I was paid to be out there with Duane.
- Sell out. - And you [BLEEP] asked.
- Sell out. - And you [BLEEP]
[BLEEP] [BLEEP]
Sell out.
[BLEEP]
Yo, chill, chill, chill.
Come on, whoa.
Whoa, come on.
Come on with it.
Buddy, you got to come on.
What's up, you little [BLEEP].
We need you.
We need you. - Act tough.
How am I acting tough?
You're the [BLEEP] [BLEEP] acting tough.
Hey, T.J., hey, you and I were cool,
until you tried to make it my fault.
I never kicked you off my team.
Maybe about you basically talking [BLEEP] about me.
Bull--Bull--[BLEEP] I didn't kick you off the team.
You quit the [BLEEP] team.
[BLEEP] you.
No, I followed Duane.
[BLEEP] You're the guy, you got [BLEEP] I did not get paid.
My [BLEEP] first camp, I did not [BLEEP]
get paid [BLEEP] coaches.
I'm not talking--
Little sell out [BLEEP] --more time,
you're going to be laying--
This has nothing to do--
[BLEEP] on the mat.
I have more of a [BLEEP] relationship with these
guys than I ever did with you.
Exactly, these [BLEEP] dude, is your [INAUDIBLE].
I followed Duane.
I followed Duane to Colorado, because I
got a sponsor out there.
Is that my fault?
I followed a guy you hired. - Sell out.
You and I were having breakfast--
Sell out. Cried.
- --with Chad Mendes. - And I went told you.
CODY GARBRANDT: You cried. - Okay, shut up.
And you said, look, I'm going to represent--
CODY GARBRANDT: He cried.
--Team MusclePharm when I fight.
And I'm going to spend all my camps
out there, but I want to come back here and be in the gym--
Yes.
--on my own time, because they're paying me.
No, that's not what I [BLEEP] told you.
-
Future champions, we have current top contenders.
T.J. DILLASHAW: I was there teaching practices, dude.
We have Chris Holdsworth, dude.
- No. - Yes, I was.
I was out there teaching kickboxing three days.
We all help out with practices.
I know, listen to me, just [BLEEP] let me talk.
Okay, go ahead and talk.
So, I was out there teaching practices,
going back and forth, right?
And I want to go do my full camp out there
when I'm about to fight Cruz.
And so you give me an ultimatum I can just--
- [BLEEP] - Yep.
That's a lie.
Ask [BLEEP] Mendes.
He was sitting right there.
[BLEEP]
--the gym in tears.
That's a [BLEEP] lie.
The problem I had with the guy, where
our friendship took a part is when he made me the bad guy.
He's saying that I kicked him off the team, which couldn't
be further from the truth.
T.J. DILLASHAW: I got kicked out of the [BLEEP] gym.
You quit the team.
- No, I did not. - Yeah, you--
I told you I was going to do my camp with Duane,
so you kicked me off the team.
That's a-- Hey, I'm going to let everyone know right now,
that's a [BLEEP] lie.
- You guys aren't [BLEEP]. - That's a bold-faced lie.
You know it's true.
T.J. DILLASHAW: He's the one being selfish, you know.
Now that I'm not making his gym any money
and going and working out with Duane, he wants to hate me.
It wasn't like I was saying I leaving Team Alpha Male.
What I was saying was that I was going to do my next full camp
with Duane Ludwig.
That was the best thing for me to try to beat Dominick Cruz
was to train with Duane Ludwig.
And Urijah just couldn't take it,
couldn't take that I chose Duane over him
and kicked me off the team.
T.J., that's a bold-faced lie.
- It's not a bold-faced lie. - That's a bold-faced--
I'm sitting here telling the [BLEEP] truth, dude.
That's a lie.
I left the [BLEEP] gym in tears,
you kicking me out, dude.
I'm leaving all my friends behind, dude.
Yeah, why the [BLEEP] did you do that?
Because I was following coach,--
For $5,000 a month.
a guy that's as loyal to me as I'm loyal to him.
He was already on our [BLEEP] team.
T.J., he broke up our team.
- No, he did not. - Yeah, he did.
What are you talking about? Where are you at?
Because he's out there coaching me.
I'm [BLEEP] following him, dude. - He broke up our team.
Hey,--
T.J. DILLASHAW: I followed Duane out there.
T.J., you quit the [BLEEP] the team.
I did not quit the team.
I got kicked off the team. - Oh, really?
Yes.
Then how are you going-- how are you going to say I'm off
the team and not quit the team?
No, I'm going to do my training camp--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
CODY GARBRANDT: I let him know that he's
not going to use this show as a platform to play the victim.
You know, as he's telling people that he got
kicked off the team, that's a lie.
It's a bold-faced lie.
I'm just calling him out on it.
That's why he's getting so angry about it and emotional,
because I'm telling him the truth, and he was like,
oh you're fake.
I'm like, no, you're the fakest person here,
so don't try to spin that off on anybody else.
[BLEEP] [INAUDIBLE] [BLEEP]
Here we go, guys.
[BLEEP]
URIJAH FABER: See, he wants to be on our team
still is the problem.
He [BLEEP] sold out.
CODY GARBRANDT: Why don't you tell
the real [BLEEP] truth, dude.
Hey, the other thing is this.
This is what he told me.
He said, look, I have a house out here.
I still want to come out here.
He's like basically saying, hey, I'm married to you guys,
but I got this new chick.
She's hot.
I'm going to be walking around with her.
I may come in town and slap you around a little bit
when I need to, but I'm going to be representing these guys.
Come on, dude.
It's all insecurity.
It's all insecurity.
Insecurity, for sure.
They know I'm the better fighter, you know.
I'm glad to have you.
Ah, appreciate it, baby.
Colorado.
Hell yeah.
And then, well, the crazy thing
is is he's changed everything in his head.
CODY GARBRANDT: Oh yeah, dude, that's what the victim does.
- It's here, baby. - You're the first one, baby.
Let's do this, start us off.
- Hard work. - Dedication.
- Hard work. - Dedication.
- Hard work. - Dedication.
One, two, three.

[Tibia Summer Update 2017] First Impression of the New Summons & Spells! - Duration: 8:45.
Yo what's up, guys?
Eric Psykik here and today we have some big news.
Out of nowhere Cipsoft released some news today about what they plan on adding in this
year's Summer Update.
I don't know if this is everything that will be in the update, but it's definitely
a significant portion of it and they already opened up a test server to try this stuff
out.
Now I hate making my official update videos and then finding out everything changed later,
so keep in mind that this is only a first impression video of all the stuff I tried
today and I'll just be briefly going over each topic.
I'll most likely be making an updated video once the Summer Update is set in stone if
possible and they don't close the test server on me again.
So let's just get right into it and check out some of the new stuff we got today.
First off, new summons for all vocations.
I wouldn't really classify these as summons though because you only get a particular one
for each vocation; we don't have knights summoning fire elementals or anything like
that.
I would call these more of a temporary companion.
The first is Skullfrost, the knight's summon.
Skullfrost is an icy undead ghost thing that shoots ice and death attacks at your targeted
enemy.
I found this summon to be kind of squishy considering on a knight you're usually hunting
big pulls, but I might as well throw this in right now that they also updated the challenge
spell today and made it basically work like it always should have.
It also has the added bonus of keeping monsters from running away even if they're low health,
so monsters like Medusas and Young Sea Serpents can be forced to die in every pull.
You can see my knight easily resing this Silencer off another knight, and he's able to pull
it off of me as well.
So back to Skullfrost… while Skullfrost is pretty squishy, you can easily exeta res
the monsters off of him.
He keeps his distance from your targeted monster though so it can be kind of annoying if he
accidentally lures more and then you have to save him.
I don't really know if this summon will increase your dps much while hunting, and
I couldn't test any of this stuff in PvP yet, but his damage isn't too bad.
All four of the summons heal themselves so if yours is about to die you can just wait
a minute and it'll heal back up to full.
As of right now you can't UH or mas res your own summon, and I couldn't check whether
you damage it on PvP worlds since the test server is on Optional PvP.
Next up, we have Emberwing, the paladin's summon.
This holy bird gives quite a nice AoE bonus to a paladin's hunt by shooting mas sans
and tiny fire GFBs at your target.
The only problem I found with this summon is that it couldn't really keep up with
me while hunting since it's a ranged attacker.
While testing it in Yalahar Grims, I would constantly pull the Grim Reapers off screen
and Emberwing wouldn't follow until being forced to teleport towards me.
Yes, all of these summons will teleport to you if you walk too far away.
They will also follow you up and down ladders, teleport to you when you go off screen, walk
in PZ with you, and logout and login to the game with you.
Unfortunately, I don't believe this applies to normal summoned monsters.
But while we're talking about logging out and logging in, these summons only last 15
minutes at a time and have a 30 minute cooldown.
So they aren't permanent.
They're temporary and add a little boost to your hunt.
They also cost 1-3,000 mana to summon depending on your vocation.
After that we have the Thundergiant.
This is the sorcerer's summon that acts as a tank.
No more relying on an EK and ED to team hunt, now we solo sorcerers can hunt all by ourselves.
Nah the summon isn't THAT good that you'll be hunting Catacombs alone, but it is a nice
tank.
Basically all Thundergiant does is melee whatever monster you have targeted and use a challenge
spell with the radius of a mas san to tank the monsters for you.
I was actually able to hunt Roshamuul all by myself this way thanks to Thundergiant,
and with the ability to stand on bombs you could probably find a lot of different spawns
to have your summon tank for you while you DPS.
The only problem of a tank summon like this is that it's obviously not as efficient
as a human since it's now transferring all of the looting, pulling, damage, etc. on you
instead of splitting up the tasks.
So it's a nice feature for a solo mage, but will I actually use it in my current hunts?
I'm not sure.
Maybe we can find some new solo spawns with a tank, but there's a piece of me that thinks
you'll lose out on experience waiting for this monster to tank for you compared to just
running through destroying things like the way you hunt now.
Another thing I should add is that these summons cannot participate in certain boss fights
according to the news.
I don't know exactly what this means, but I'm assuming you can't bring these into
lever-style bosses like the Ferumbras Ascension quest or Forgotten Knowledge areas.
Finally, we have the druid's summon, Grovebeast.
This summon is basically the same thing as the sorcerer's Thundergiant in that it tanks
monsters and casts exeta res.
As you can see while hunting with it on my druid, these tanks aren't 100% perfect.
Sometimes they'll stand still and if you run off screen of these summons they won't
follow you so you have to walk even further to trigger the teleportation.
Also since these summons move so fast, whenever your target monster dies the summon comes
flying towards you bringing all of the monsters it's tanking with it, which can be pretty
dangerous for a mage.
Alright now that I've gone over the summons, a new spell coming out that is available for
all vocations is called Second Wind.
This spell increases your damage output the lower your health gets.
It costs between 500 and 2,000 mana depending on your vocation and has a 2 minute cooldown.
In a PvE scenario I don't know exactly how much of a use this spell will be.
The buff doesn't kick in until you are below 25% health, which is extremely low for mages,
not bad for paladins, but also kind of bad for knights.
On my sorcerer, I had to sit below 600 health in order to get my damage increased, but I
can't argue that it does increase by a lot.
Maybe Kharsek would find this spell more useful since he only has to go lower than 4,000 health
for it to start buffing his damage.
Usually I would UE a Lizard Chosen for like a 1.1k, but with low health and second wind
activated I was UEing for 1800s and 1900s.
PvP damage is half your monster damage, disregarding elemental protections, so that's almost
a 1k non-critical hit on another player.
The catch to Second Wind though is that you cannot wear magic shield or an energy ring
while it is activated.
If you have one on beforehand, you can't use the spell either.
So I can't imagine many scenarios where a mage would want to risk low health for high
damage considering this isn't a passive ability where you just happen to hit red and
then deal a huge amount of damage.
You have to activate it.
You have to willingly say "hey, I want to hit hard so let me put my character in red
health".
My first thought is maybe this could be kind of a kamikaze spell.
Imagine rushing someone in Banuta with a Gill Set on.
You put yourself at 300 health, just so you don't die to their avalanche, then rush
them and launch a UE, healing immediately after.
I don't know, that sounds like one of the few scenarios I could imagine myself using
second wind in PvP.
You wouldn't be able to combo with a friend because you guys would kill each other so
that's all I can really get from this spell.
It's just too risky to sit at 600 health as a level 300 to hit a little harder when
you lose so much on death to monsters or risk getting soloed by another player.
I think paladins hunting one by one can use this spell the best though since their 25%
health isn't ridiculously low and they can somewhat predict the max hit of the monster
they're hunting.
I tested it on Lizard Chosens with a fire wall and had very little problems since I
could make sure the Lizard Chosen couldn't reach me.
Combined with utito tempo I could hit some ridiculous hits, one time a 1.7k normal hit
and then another time a 1.8k critical hit.
So if you hunt a controlled monster you may be able to do some crazy damage as a paladin
which may buff your experience per hour.
Again though, just playing around on the test server I managed to die on each of my characters
testing second wind so I really can't imagine myself wanting to risk this in the main game
for a damage buff.
One thing I did think of though is that second wind may actually provide a use for the 10/10
defense bonus from the pray for prey system.
If you put yourself at low health and have a damage reduction on the monster you're
hunting, maybe you could keep yourself from dying while outputting high damage.
My knight had the most health of all my vocations, but even then second wind wasn't that great
because while I'm trying to lure multiple monsters I have to worry about keeping my
health up, but not too up so my second wind works, all the while killing monsters.
All of these temporary buffs and stuff add up to a lot of micro managing in what once
was a simple little hunt of spamming potions and runes.
I guess if the benefits are worth it then fine, but I'm not entirely convinced yet.
This is obviously the first day that these things were released though and I'm sure
stuff will be tweaked, so we'll have to wait and see how it all turns out.
The last couple things in this update include the ability to conjure a wand of darkness
as a sorcerer and three different types of ammo as a paladin.
The wand of darkness hits about the same as a wand of defiance except it does death damage
and gives you +2 ML.
It only lasts 15 minutes as well, has a 30 minute cooldown, and costs 250 mana.
So I think it is worth it for the mana cost, and you can use it as early as level 41, but
it's just a tiny boost of 2 magic levels.
A small convenience I suppose for a lower level, but not very useful as a higher level
seeing as we have crit wands and imbuable melee weapons.
As for the paladin ammo, the three new items are diamond arrows, spectral bolts, and royal
stars.
When casting the spell you get 100 of the arrows and bolts or 30 of the royal stars
and they expire after an hour with a 30 minute cooldown.
I think in an hour I can shoot like 1200 or 1500 arrows, so in reality you're getting
like 10 minutes of ammo per hour.
They have the same accuracy as their predecessors, but 5 or 6 attack more.
Since you can't sell this ammo on the market and they also expire, I'm assuming their
main use will be for bossing as a paladin or PvP situations.
They're really cost efficient though: the arrows cost 1,000 mana for 100 of them, which
boils down to 5.3 gold per arrow if you use strong mana potions.
In that case I assume you'll just be using this off cooldown to add a little extra damage
to your hunt and save a little money.
So that's about everything that came out on the test server today.
Again, I don't know if this is everything coming out in the Summer Update or just a
portion.
Anyone wondering if these spells will cost soul points, the answer is no.
If you remember that survey where they asked about soul point spells, I believe I read
on the forums that they trashed that idea due to community feedback.
Anyways, if there are any significant changes to these spells or more stuff is added for
the Summer Update then I'll be sure to update you guys.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys next time.

Guess Who Trump's Tax Plan Benefits The Most... - Duration: 10:46.
YOU WILL BE SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT THE PROPOSED TAX CUT
BY DONALD TRUMP WILL BENEFIT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY.
FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE THE ESTATE TAX, WHAT THEY LIKE TO CALL THE
DEATH TAX, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO FOOL YOU INTO THINKING IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IT MIGHT AFFECT YOU INSTEAD OF JUST THE AMERICAN
ARISTOCRACY.
AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH THE ESTATE TAX, PRE BEING
CANCELED --
>>THAT'S ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER, 1% MORE, THAN THE TOP MARGINAL
TAX BRACKET --
>>DONALD TRUMP CLAIMS TO BE WORTH $10 MILLION, WHICH IMPLIES
THERE WOULD BE QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TAKEN AWAY IF THEY HAD THE
ESTATE TAX.
IF THEY COULD GET RID OF IT, THEORETICALLY IF YOU
TRUST HIM ON HIS NET WORTH, IVANKA AND ERIC AND DONALD
JUNIOR WILL SAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX CUTS.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
>>WE TALK ABOUT HOW HE'S INCREASING THE RATES AT
MAR-A-LAGO, CALLING AT THE WINTER WHITE HOUSE, HAVING THE
STATE DEPARTMENT DO PRESS RELEASES FOR IT, IVANKA IS
SELLING MORE SHOES, MORE MONEY FOR THEIR HOTELS, PERSONAL
ENRICHMENT, ETC.
-- THAT IS PEANUTS COMPARED TO IF THEY GET
RID OF THE ESTATE TAX, IVANKA, JARED KUSHNER, THE OTHER
KNUCKLEHEAD SONS, WILL SAVE ALL THIS MONEY.
I WONDER WHY HE RAN
FOR PRESIDENT?
>>AND HIS CABINET IS THE WEALTHIEST CABINET IN AMERICAN
HISTORY, ALL THESE PEOPLE WILL BE LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY THE
ESTATE TAX AND THESE OTHERS WE WILL BREAKDOWN.
LET'S MOVE TO
THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMAL TAX, AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER IT'S A TAX
SET UP SO THAT IF YOU ARE ABLE, WITH YOUR HIGH-PRICED
ACCOUNTANTS, TO GET RID OF YOUR TAX BURDEN, YOU STILL HAVE TO
PAY SOMETHING.
IT'S AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE TAX YOU
LEGALLY SHOULD BE PAYING OTHERWISE.
HE WANTS TO GET RID
OF THAT TOO.
HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT DONALD TRUMP?
WE DON'T
KNOW FOR SURE, BECAUSE HE IS BREAKING PRECEDENT AND NOT
RELEASING HIS TAX RETURNS, BUT
--
>>THAT IS A PERFECT CASE STUDY OF HOW HE WOULD HAVE BENEFITED,
AND WILL BENEFIT WHEN HE GETS RID OF THE AMT UNDER HIS
PLAN NOW.
>>HE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE THIS IS FOR JOBS.
NO, AGAIN, TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DIRECTLY IN DONALD TRUMP'S POCKET.
A NICE
LITTLE SIDE EFFECT OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS THEY GET THE
POWER, BUT IT TURNS OUT NORTH KOREA IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN
HE REALIZED, NO ONE KNEW.
HEALTHCARE IS MORE COMPLICATED
THAN HE REALIZED, NO ONE KNEW.
HE DIDN'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT
JOB, MNUCHIN, TREASURY SECRETARY, TOLD THE PRESS IN
RELEASING THIS, THIS WAS ONE ISSUE THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS VERY
INVOLVED IN.
OF COURSE.
KOREAN HISTORY, A PAIN IN THE ASS, WHAT
DO I CARE IF A BUNCH OF SOUTH KOREANS DIE WHEN WE LAUNCH THE
BOMBS?
WAIT A MINUTE, THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMAL TAX, GET RID
OF IT SO MY TAXES WILL GO DOWN TO LESS THAN 5% IN THE YEAR LIKE
2005.
OF COURSE HE LOVES THAT.
THE ESTATE TAX, AT THAT POINT
DONALD TRUMP IS DEAD.
HIS KIDS CARE A LOT ABOUT IT, I'M SURE HE
WANTS TO PASS ON MORE MONEY TO HIS KIDS, HE CARES ABOUT IT,
IT'S A BIGGER AMOUNT.
BUT THIS AFFECTS DONALD TRUMP TODAY.
BUT THE NEXT ONE AFFECTS HIM MORE.
>>THE CORPORATE THING?
YEAH, AND OVERALL, IN TERMS OF HOW THIS IS
THE PERFECT TOPIC FOR HIM, AND IS IT WEIRD THAT HIS INTERESTS
ALIGNED SO MUCH WITH REPUBLICANS -- THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO ARE
SAYING LET DONALD TRUMP BECOME PRESIDENT BECAUSE REPUBLICANS
WON'T WORK WITH HIM, THEY HATE HIM SO MUCH.
THAT WAS RIDICULOUS
IN GENERAL, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE ISSUES THEY SEEM TO
DISAGREE WITH HIM ON -- THEY COULD PASS THIS TODAY IF THEY
WANTED TO.
HOW COULD YOU THINK REPUBLICANS WOULD GO AGAINST HIM
ON HIS INSANE TAX POLICY?
THE IDEA THAT IT WAS SAFER TO HAVE
DONALD TRUMP IN OFFICE, THAT WAS LAUGHABLE THEN, WE ARE THE
LAUGHINGSTOCKS RIGHT NOW AS THEY PROPOSE TO PASS THIS TAX PLAN.
BUT THIS CORPORATE TAX RATE, TAKING IT FROM 35% TO 15,
INTERESTINGLY IT DOESN'T JUST AFFECT THE MASSIVE CORPORATIONS
YOU THINK OF WHEN USING OF EXXON AND WALMART AND THINGS LIKE
THAT.
THERE ARE OTHER SORTS OF CORPORATIONS CALLED PASS-THROUGH
CORPORATIONS.
THAT BASICALLY IS WHERE YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL
PAYING AN INDIVIDUAL INCOME RATE TAX AS THE HEAD OF A
CORPORATION.
THEY DON'T PAY CORPORATE TAXES, THEY PAY
INDIVIDUAL TAXES.
INTERESTINGLY, DONALD TRUMP'S ORGANIZATION IS A
COLLECTION OF THOSE PASS-THROUGH CORPORATIONS, AND UNDER HIS NEW
PLAN, HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY THAT NEW, LOWER 15%.
NOT JUST
FOR HIS INCOME, BUT FOR ALL THE INCOME OF ALL OF THOSE
PASS-THROUGH CORPORATIONS.
WHICH MEANS THAT HE WOULD NOT BE
PAYING THAT NEW HIGHER TAX BRACKET OF, WHAT IS IT, 30%?
HE
WOULD BE PAYING 15% ON EVERY DOLLAR HE MAKES.
EVERY DOLLAR EVERY DOLLAR IVANKA AND JARED AND ALL OF THEM MAKE.
>>DOES IT APPLY TO SMALL BUSINESSES?
YES. IS THERE
ANYTHING WRONG WITH A PASS-THROUGH CORPORATION?
NO.
BUT WE SHOULD HAVE TAX RATES FOR THOSE CORPORATIONS.
WHY DO THEY
GET TO PAY 15%, AND PEOPLE WHO MAKE LESS WILL PAY A LOT MORE?
THAT DOES MAKE SENSE.
AND BOY, WHAT A LUCKY BREAK FOR TRUMP.
IT
TURNS OUT ALL THE TROUBLE ORGANIZATIONS ARE PASS-THROUGH
BUSINESSES.
THE HIGHER RATES ARE TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IRRELEVANT
TO HIM.
THIS CUTS HIS TAXES DOWN TO 15%, THAT'S IT.
>>IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE -- THERE
WERE EXAMPLES OF THIS IN THE PAST -- THAT MAIDS THAT A TRUMP
HOTEL COULD BE PAYING HIGHER RATES IN THEIR TAXES THAN
THE GUY WHO OWNS THE HOTEL.
>>OF COURSE, AND TRUMP WILL THINK, I'M A SMART PERSON, I
TRICKED YOU INTO VOTING FOR ME AND NOW YOU SCHMUCKS ARE STUCK
WITH THE BILL.
YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT?
I'M MAKING MY POCKETBOOK GREAT.
>>AND IN THE BACKGROUND THEY SAY WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID
LOOPHOLES, STOP THE FRAUD -- WE'VE HAD EXPERIMENTS IN THIS
AREA --
>>EVENTUALLY BY 2014
COSTING ALMOST HALF A BILLION DOLLARS, AND IT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT KANSAS IS IN THE BAD FINANCIAL TERRITORY THEY ARE
NOW, BECAUSE OF INSANE POLICIES LIKE THIS THEY CHOSE TO PURSUE.
>>AND THE TOP RATE OF THE INCOME TAX THEY ARE BRINGING
DOWN FROM TO 35, IN REALITY THAT DOESN'T MATTER, THAT'S WHY THEY
DIDN'T BRING IT DOWN THAT MUCH.
TRUMP IS LIKE, IT DOESN'T AFFECT
ME AT ALL, I'M GOING TO PAY 50% BECAUSE OF THIS PASS-THROUGH
STUFF.
IT'S A GIANT ROBBERY, IT REMINDS ME OF THE BEGINNING OF
PULP FICTION -- THIS IS A ROBBERY!
EVERYBODY BE COOL.
AND
TRUMP IS THE TOP BANDIT.
JOHN IS RIGHT, MOST EVERYONE IN HIS
CABINET WILL BENEFIT FROM EVERY ONE OF THESE PROVISIONS,
COLLECTIVELY THEY WILL SAVE BILLIONS.
ON THE PASS-THROUGH
TAX ALONE, TENS OF MILLIONS, EVEN AT A MINIMUM, EVEN IF TRUMP
ISN'T ANYWHERE NEAR AS RICH AS HE SAYS HE IS, HE STILL WILL
SAVE TENS OF MILLIONS A YEAR.
THAT COULD HAVE GONE TO YOUR
KIDS' EDUCATION, HOUSING, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, BRIDGES,
ROADS -- IT COULD HAVE GONE FOR HEALTHCARE, IT COULD HAVE GONE
FOR SAVING YOUR LIFE, BUT IT WILL JUST GO INTO TRUMP AND
MNUCHIN'S AND GARY COHEN'S POCKETS, AND THEY WILL LAUGH AT
YOU.
WE GOT THE POOREST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY -- BY THE WAY,
PEOPLE WITH LESS EDUCATION BOARD FOR TRUMP MORE THAN PEOPLE WITH
HIGHER EDUCATION, AND PEOPLE WITH LESS EDUCATION MAKE MORE
MONEY.
WE GOT THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY
IN THE COUNTRY TO VOTE FOR THE RICHEST PEOPLE TO GET EVEN
RICHER.
IDIOTS.
HA-HA, WE ROBBED YOU.
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
TODAY AS THEY CELEBRATE THIS TAX PACKAGE.
IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR
YOUR TAX CUTS, KEEP ON WAITING.
THEY AIN'T COMING.
THEY ARE
GOING TO TAKE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND
PUT IT RIGHT INTO THEIR POCKET, AND ONCE THEY DO, FOR EVERY YEAR
THEY TOOK THOSE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, YOU NEVER GET IT BACK.
EVEN IF SOMEONE GREAT COMES INTO OFFICE LATER AND THEY WANT TO DO
THINGS LIKE, HEY, LET'S GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE AT THE
AMERICAN DREAM, YOUR KIDS CAN GO TO COLLEGE FOR FREE AND YOU CAN
BE RICH TOO, THEY WILL SAY, SORRY.
>>OR MEDICARE FOR ALL.
>>WE RAN OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE WE GAVE TRILLIONS TO THE RICH WHILE
TRUMP WAS IN CHARGE.
THIS TAX CUT, A DISASTER, ONE OF THE
GREATEST AMERICAN ROBBERIES YOU WILL EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE, AND
PERSONALLY BENEFITS TRUMP TO THE TUNE OF AT MINIMUM TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, BUT IF HE'S ANYWHERE NEAR RIGHT ABOUT HIS
REAL WEALTH, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET.
HE'S LAUGHING ALL
THE WAY TO THE BANK, AND THE GUY HE'S LAUGHING AT, IF YOU VOTED
FOR HIM, IS YOU.

How Will Democrats Fight Trump's Tax Plan? - Duration: 4:43.
DONALD TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS REVEALED THEIR TAX
PLAN, IT IS DRACONIAN IN EVERY IMAGINABLE WAY.
ACCORDING TO
SOME ESTIMATES IT COULD COST UP TO $7 TRILLION.
WHAT SHOULD
DEMOCRATS DO?
IS THIS A HARD QUESTION?
BUT IT WILL BE, RIGHT
NOW ACCORDING TO THE PRESS, DEMOCRATS ARE CALCULATING WHAT
PARTS THEY AGREE WITH.
I'M NOT SAYING A BLANKET NO, THERE ARE A
COUPLE PLACES YOU COULD AGREE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF BRACKETS FROM SEVEN BRACKETS TO THREE.
OKAY.
COMPROMISE.
FIVE BRACKETS, WHO CARES.
MAKE IT THREE, I DON'T
CARE.
THEY WILL INCREASE THE MAXIMUM DEDUCTION AND TAKE AWAY
SOME OF THE LOOPHOLES.
YEAH, WE COULD COMPROMISE ON THAT.
THAT'S
FINE.
ON THE ONES YOU AGREE WITH HIM ON, WHICH IS VERY SMALL,
OKAY, NO PROBLEM.
I'M NOT SAYING THE OBSTINATE OR OBSTRUCTIONIST.
ON THE ONES WE DON'T AGREE ON, WHICH IS 98% OF THE PLAN, OF
COURSE YOU SHOULD FIGHT IT.
IF YOU ACTUALLY DISAGREE.
ESTATE
TAX, NOT NEGOTIABLE, WE AREN'T GOING TO GIVE AWAY THE ENTIRETY
OF THE ESTATE TAX, WE AREN'T GOING TO GIVE 1% OF THE WAY.
THE
WHOLE POINT OF IT IS SO WE DON'T HAVE ROYALTY IN AMERICA, WE
DON'T HAVE AN ARISTOCRACY THAT HORDES.
YOU OF MONEY TAKE 40% OF
THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ESTATES OVER $10 MILLION, ONLY .2% OF
THE COUNTRY, AND YOU SAY WE WILL TAKE 40% SO WE CAN GIVE THAT TO
EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE SO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO GET RICH -- YOU FIGHT BACK ON ESTATE TAX, THAT'S A NO-BRAINER.
ALTERNATIVE AND TAX, THAT ONLY APPLIES TO THE RICH, IF THEY
WANT TO SCAM YOU AND GET AWAY BY FINDING ALL THE LOOPHOLES, I
THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE AGAINST LOOPHOLES?
GREAT, THEN
YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX.
SO
WHAT IS YOUR OBJECTION?
WE FIGHT YOU 100% ON THE ALTERNATIVE
MINIMUM TAX.
ON LOWERING THE INDIVIDUAL INCOME BRACKET FROM
39.6 TO 35, THE ANSWER IS NO.
THAT'S JUST FOR THE RICH, MOVING
ON.
THE ANSWER FOR THE PASS-THROUGH -- SOME SMALL
BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUCTURED THROUGH THESE PASS-THROUGH
CORPORATIONS -- THEY ARE NOT SMALL BUSINESSES.
GLOBAL LAW
FIRMS, HEDGE FUNDS, TRUMP ORGANIZATION, THEY ARE ALL
PASS-THROUGH COMPANIES AND THEY WANT TO LOWER THAT THE 15%.
THAT
MEANS YOU WILL LOWER THE RATE FOR MOST OF THE RICH FOLKS IN
THE COUNTRY TO 15%?
OUR ANSWER TO THAT IS HELL NO.
TAX HOLIDAY?
WE AREN'T GOING TO DO A TAX HOLIDAY FOR MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS.
AND DEMOCRATS ARE ALREADY HAPPY TO DO THIS.
OBAMA
OFFERED IT SEVERAL TIMES, THERE WAS A LITTLE DISAGREEMENT OVER
WHETHER IT SHOULD BE 5% OR 10% OR SOME COMICALLY LOW RATE.
YOU
WILL FIND OUT WHO THE DEMOCRATS ARE.
THIS TAX PROPOSAL IS
INTERESTING.
WE ALREADY KNEW WHO DONALD TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS
WERE.
I KNOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CAN TELL, BUT THE REST OF
US ARE NOT SCHMUCKS, IF YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM REAL SOURCES ON
THE INTERNET YOU KNOW WHAT THE POLICY PROPOSALS ARE, YOU CAN
BREAK IT DOWN DIME BY DIME.
YOU KNOW REPUBLICANS STAND FOR THE
RICH AND MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, THEY PROVED IT
WITH THIS TAX PROPOSAL.
BUT WE DON'T YET KNOW WHO THE DEMOCRATS
ARE.
I HAVE A STRONG INKLING, I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE A STRONG
IDEA THEY ARE, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY TURNED A CORNER AND THEY
WILL BE REALLY PROGRESSIVE AND THEREFORE HOPE AND THE AVERAGE
GUY AND STUFF.
GREAT.
YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO PROVE IT.
FIGHT
THEM TO AND NAIL ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE TAX PROPOSALS THAT
WE DON'T AGREE WITH, AND I WILL SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
MY BAD,
THOSE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS, THEY FOUGHT THEM, MAYBE THEY
KILLED IT, MAYBE THEY DIDN'T, BUT THEY FOUGHT IT TO THE MAN
AND DIDN'T COMPROMISE ON ANY OF THIS STUFF, WHICH WAS CLEARLY
DESIGNED TO ROB THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON BEHALF OF THE RICH
DONORS, THE DONOR CLASS, MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS -- SO
IF YOU DON'T GO WITH YOUR DONORS, DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND GO
WITH THE VOTERS, WE WILL KNOW.
IF YOU DO THE OPPOSITE, WE WILL
ALSO NO.

Korean economy grows 0.9 percent in Q1 - Duration: 0:51.
The Korean economy expanded at a faster click in the first quarter.
The Bank of Korea estimates the country's GDP jumped zero-point-nine percent on-quarter
in the January to March period.
The on-quarter growth is the fastest since the second quarter of 2016.
It remains in the zero-percent range for a sixth straight quarter,... but marks a significant
recovery from the zero-point-five percent growth in the fourth quarter.
The improvement comes on the back of a recovery in the country's exports as well as a rise
in construction investment.
Exports rose one-point-nine percent,... turning around from a zero-point-one percent drop
in the previous quarter,... thanks to a general pick up in the global economy.
Construction investment rose five-point-three percent,... compared to an over one percent
decline in the fourth quarter.

U.S. senators unimpressed by classified N. Korea briefing - Duration: 1:27.
Our top story this morning...
The U.S. government has announced new plans to sharply tighten sanctions on North Korea.
Washington will also work more closely with its regional allies to bring about change
in the North.
A statement was released a few hours ago after the White House held a rare briefing with
U.S. senators.
Yu Joonhee starts us off.
Top administration officials released a statement conveying President Trump's North Korea policy,
following a rare classified briefing for all 100 members of the U.S. Senate at the White
House on Wednesday.
It called for pressuring North Korea to dismantle its nuclear and ballistic missile arsenals
by tightening economic sanctions and through close cooperation with U.S. allies and other
partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
Although it adopts a much softer tone toward Pyongyang following weeks of escalating tensions,
the statement did end on a note of defiance, saying the U.S. is ready to defend itself
and its allies if necessary.
Many of the senators who attended the closed-door briefing came out with an underwhelming impression.
In particular, Democratic senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon told CNN that the lawmakers learned
nothing new about North Korea nor Trump's strategies for dealing with the regime.
Meanwhile the situation on the Korean Peninsula remains tense, with the U.S. sending warships
to the region and moving ahead with its deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South
Korea.
Although China has long voiced its displeasure regarding the deployment, the Trump administration
has recently made a considerable effort to enlist Beijing in pressuring North Korea.
