Samsung Galaxy Note 8 UNBOXING and FIRST IMPRESSIONS in 2018 - Duration: 4:07.

hey what's up guys so I decided to get the Galaxy Note 8 in 2018. I got a great

deal on it so I decided to give you guys a quick unboxing so let's go check it

out. I was able to get the Galaxy Note 8 for 750 dollars under the t-mobile

carrier in the actual Samsung website actually I even I got the AKG wireless

headphones for free so that was an awesome deal right away I can tell you

I'm liking it better compared to the actually galaxy si plus it's just

something about the corners we got just a SIM card kit regular paperwork

ejection pin EKG earphones which I already have a pair of this and they're

not the best earphones but they sound very well I mean they don't have a lot

of bass but they're clear at type-c cable to USB ear tips or different sizes

for the earphones and we got the end tips that go to the tiler spring let's

see what else we got I mean we got the the usual adapters that we've been

getting with the Galaxy series the two adapters ago it's a Type C 2 USB

microUSB two types and we have all charger so that is it that was a quick

unboxing I mean the box looks very similar to the si+ and the box that I

got for the note 7 let's go check out the phone right now oh yeah I can

already tell you but just just a feel of the the design of the note series this

how it is a little bit more square like I feel like I have a better handle of it

and just the surface display looks better that infinity display is just

it's just awesome alright now I'm ready just to put all my finger prints all

over it because I expect the gorilla glass in the back its I mean it is just

basically a fingerprint magnet with the si+ I mean every time I clean it up

before I even put it on the case I had a fingerprints all over it well he comes

out real quick let me just go over the button so it's not nothing big of a

difference nothing changes so on the side you got the the regular Bigsby

button which again I mentioned this before it's one of those that it doesn't

really bother me but it's there and you can get rid of it so eventually I

learned to just ignore it also on the side you got we got the power button

switch very tactile let's expect it right inside we got the power button on

the top we got just basically to slap for the microSD card in the sim

tray and we got up looks like we have another microphone right in the top on

the bottom you got the stylus pen oh yeah I definitely like this the style of

Spain I mean it's pretty pretty similar to the note 7 series best of all you

still have other Jack port I like to have my headphones my

earphones it's having with me all the time I don't like to be charging

accessories all the time and I tend to forget so when I want to go I want to

make sure I'm ready to go just able to plug it in one thing that hopefully

they're gonna change this in the future but the speaker the location of the

speaker when it's in the bottom and and just having one speaker it doesn't sound

that well and hopefully we'll look at that on the review later on but I can

already expect the sound quality to be very similar to the note 7 or the galaxy

s a plus sometimes when you're holding the phone you do depending on how you

hold it sometimes you do basically block the speaker especially if you laying

down and you're trying to hold the phone up you just you're blocking the speaker

or if you look at holding it sideways I tend to block the speaker with my with

my the palm of my hand so that's kind of like a big down but even sometimes when

they put it in the back when you laid the phone flat you just block some of

the audio that's I think that's why it's so important to have two speakers one

one on each side and we got a 12 megapixel camera dual camera in the back

we got the fingerprint sensor that again it's next to there it's very close to

the actual camera lens but it's better than the si plus it's a little bit

further out it does kind of come with the new get in person should be able to

upgrade to the oriole it will have a 64 gigabytes of storage capacity and this

has some six point three inch infinity display as already mentioned I plan on

doing a bunch of videos on this I'm probably gonna go ahead and compare it

to the note 4 I can get the note 5 very soon so make sure you guys subscribe I'm

gonna have bunch of videos coming up on the a stylus fan and the different

functionality different things we can do with the note so thank you for watching

make sure you hit the like button if you enjoyed this video and I'll see you on

the next one

How Many Hits Can Saber Sustain From Turret? | Mobile legends | Slothy Sloth - Duration: 1:33.

Hello and welcome back to My Channel. In

this video I am gonna test how many

continuous hits from the turret can

saber withstand. Like always I will first

test it when saber is on level 1. I will

test the damage from the inhibitor

turret as by the time I reach level 15

the exterior turrets may not hold. Here

we go for the first test 1 2 3 4 Saber

can withstand four hits went on level 1

now let us test it on level Fifteen 1 2 3

4 5 on level 15 saber can sustain 5 hits

from the turret. As you saw Lolita hit

saber, but the damage was negligible so 5

hits is the final result. Thank You for

watching this video please leave a

Seeing It Through - A Pyre Speedrun Analysis - Duration: 4:27.

Pyre is a game with an incredibly rich narrative.

From it's world, which is simultaneously vibrant and desolate, to It's varied soundtrack which

manages to perfectly display the complexity of the characters cast out in it's downtrodden

world.

It uses the story of criminals, unfairly punished for crimes such as literacy or "vagrancy.."

to comment on topics such as censorship, due process , and conscription during war.

Personally, One particular theme stands out, however.

Not due to controversy or relevancy in a modern setting, but due to its relevance to speedrunning.

An idea that is repeated throughout the game, is that "it matters not, which path you

take, only that you see it through to the end."

And while this philosophy is highly prevalent throughout the entirety of the game, being

repeated several times by both the game itself, and by members of your party, it, oddly enough,

applies very aptly to the speedrun of the game as well.

The idea that the journey is more important than the destination is one that is universal

in speedrunning.

The goal isn't simply to win.

It's to win as quickly as possible.

Whether through extensive optimization, meticulous pathing, or through simple raw skill, what

matters is that the runner reaches the end of the game in the lowest amount of time possible,

Regardless of the method.

But what does this have to do with the speedrun of pyre specifically?

The game has several mechanics which reflect it's philosophy.. no matter how often you

lose.

No matter what decisions you make.

No matter how poorly you play, it is impossible to "Lose" in Pyre...

There is no "Game Over" screen.

Losing a match just means that you'll have to try harder next time, and that you'll have

to learn from the loss as well.

Initially these mechanics seem wholly unimportant for a perspective runner.

Why would not being able to fail matter, when it's such an impossibility?

When You are so knowledgeable, so skilled that it's unlikely even a small mistake

could occur, and the idea of losing entirely is downright absurd?

Because what if losing was faster?

Shortly after release, a higher difficulty rating was added to the game.

"True Nightwing Mode" in this Mode, opponents are more intelligent and stronger.

Additionally, you gain the ability to activate "Titan stars" immediately at the beginning

of the game, rather than slowly over time.

These stars, when activated, change certain aspects of the game.

Reducing the health of your Pyre, making opponents faster and smarter, and just generally making

the game more difficult.

Again these mechanics, and even true nightwing mode as a whole were generally ignored by

the speedrunning community.

There's no way that making the opponent stronger and more capable could possibly reduce the

time it would take to finish a match, right?

Correct!

If the goal is to win.

However it isn't.

The only goal.

The only end that is needed, is to finish the game in the lowest time.

And for that, losing is faster.

These stars, combined with mechanics based on the very core philosophies of the game,

create strategies impossible under any other circumstances and in almost any other game.

Rather than attempting to win as quickly as possible, running directly into the enemy's

pyre over, and over and Over, until finally the match is finished, the game changes completely.

Now it's a question of losing as quickly as possible.

Baiting an opponent into your pyre, and Sometimes even eliminating your own players in order

to convince the opponent that it's safe to go for the goal.

Once they do the process only needs to be repeated once or twice more.

Due to the influence of the stars, your opponents are so strong, and you so weak, that it is

over quite quickly.

Because the opponents only need to score a few times, versus the 5 or more times needed

to win conventionally, a perfectly optimal "losing" run will always be faster than a

perfectly optimal undefeated run.

Pyre, both the game and it's speedrun, show that human beings are at their best when adversity

is at its highest, and that victory is far less important than success.

Especially when you're aiming for some nice low times.

PLAN WITH ME: April Bullet Journal + March Flip-Through - Duration: 8:06.

- Hello, everybody.

My name is is Steph Cozza, and today,

I'm gonna show you guys

how I am making my April bullet journal spread.

Last month, in my March bullet journal spread video,

I asked you guys what you thought I should do

for my theme this month.

And the main theme that you guys

really wanted was umbrellas, and rain, and rainfall,

and I thought that was really cool,

so that's what I'm doing,

by popular demand for the month of April.

But, before we do that,

let's first go back to my March spread

and see how it turned out at the end of the month.

Now, if you recall, last month was a little bit weird,

I made two different spreads, just for the fun of it.

I made a minimalist spread and a maximalist spread.

And I ended up using the minimalist spread

for the month of March,

just because I felt it was a little bit more practical,

and just worked really well for me and my lifestyle,

but don't get me wrong, I really missed

all the fun colors, and drawings, and doodles.

So let's just flip through my March minimalist spread.

We've got my title page.

We've got my dates filled out, my calendar.

I wasn't super into this calendar method.

It was very minimalist, obviously,

but I like to see, like a physical calendar drawn out

and filled in, and it just gives me a much better look

at my entire month overall.

Here's my tracker and my expenses.

I don't really like the way this tracker turned out.

I think it looks kind of weird.

And it wasn't very fun to fill out,

and it was also just kinda hard to keep track of,

and see what was what,

so I am definitely trying something new this month.

I think what I just really liked about this spread

was the weekly spreads, because it's so organized,

it's so easy to see everything and the big picture

of my week, and my month, and my to-do lists,

and I just feel like I was super organized this month.

And then I'll just flip through my maximalist spread,

just so we can take another look.

I did use the habit tracker,

because I loved this bamboo drawing that I did,

and I was really excited about filling it out,

so I did do that.

And I'm pretty into the way it looks.

I thought it was really fun, really cute,

and I loved it, but that's it for my March spread.

So let's move right into April.

Last month, in my maximalist

and minimalist bullet journal video,

a lot of you guys said that you

kind of like both of these styles, sort of mixed together.

You like the structure and practicality

of the minimalist bullet journal,

but it's also fun to draw and doodle,

and not be totally structured

and perfectly clean and minimalist.

So this month, I'm gonna kind of combine the two,

so for my title page, I'm not doing anything too crazy,

but I am writing out April in these nice, big, bold letters,

and I'm drawing an umbrella,

just to go with the whole theme of rain and umbrellas,

and it was looking a little bit drab,

so I wanted to kind of experiment with coloring.

I'm trying out ombre for the first time.

I've never really tried an ombre design with markers,

but it's really fun, and it looks so pretty.

I love it.

I'm gonna do this so much more this month.

On to my calendar.

Like I said, I love to see a big, drawn out calendar spread.

I'm not really into the list thing.

I like to see the big picture of the whole month,

so I'm just drawing out a very simplified, boxy calendar.

I don't want anything too complex, because like I said,

I'm into the minimalist style of things.

But I am going to add a little bit of flair,

with some cursive days of the week,

and I'm gonna add a little picture of rain boots

in the bottom right corner, add some washi tape designs,

and then in the background of my calendar,

I'm just adding some cute little raindrop doodles.

Nothing too fancy.

Everything on this page was very easy to do,

but it still looks really, really nice,

and it's not too overwhelming.

For my mood tracker, I'm honestly just kind of winging it.

I didn't really plan what I was gonna do here,

which sometimes is what I do.

I think it's more fun that way.

But I knew I wanted to do something with umbrellas,

and I like that when you look at an umbrella from above,

it is kind of divided into these little sections,

almost like a little pie chart.

So that's kind of what I did.

I just made all these little umbrellas,

and every section is a day of the month,

and I'll just fill them in

with whatever color suits my mood that day,

and then at the end of the month, hopefully,

I'll have a really pretty array of blue umbrellas.

Also, I omitted the mood tracker last month.

I did not have one in either of my spreads,

and you guys were really mad at me for that.

So don't worry, I have it again.

I brought it back.

To be honest, I don't really like using a mood tracker.

I don't think it's ever really helped me with my mood,

or anything like that, but it is kind of fun to do

when you have the time.

And it does look really nice when you're done,

so we'll see how this one looks.

As for my habit tracker,

I'm doing kind of the same style that I always do

with a little bit different details.

I went with a little bit more

of an elegant cursive title at the top.

And one thing that I've noticed

when I'm filling out my habit trackers,

is that I always get lost as to where I am

and the lines get mixed up, and I just,

I don't know, I have trouble figuring out

which day is which spot.

So to help me out, I'm just highlighting every other line,

so that it kind of divides it up a little bit better,

and I can know what I'm doing (laughs).

And then I'm just adding couple doodles at the bottom,

and a picture of some daisies in the rain.

I really love just printing out photos,

and sticking them in wherever they fit,

because I don't have to spend the time to draw anything,

it really takes no effort or creative abilities at all,

but it looks so good, and it's so cute,

and it's almost like a little scrapbook,

and I just love that.

Alright, my expenses page just haunts me every time.

It's so boring.

I never know what to do, because it has to be practical,

it doesn't need to be fun to look at,

because I need to keep track of my expenses,

and that's the point of it.

It's not to be pretty and overwhelming and maximalist,

but it's always so boring,

so I decided to add just a little bit of depth

and just put a big border around the page.

Nothing fancy, super easy.

I'm just using a ruler and a pen.

Like, there's nothing crazy going on here.

But for some reason, I think it looks really nice.

I'm putting it on both pages,

so one page will be my expenses page,

and the other page will just be my notes page

for braindumping, and whatever I need.

And then just to add a little bit of color to this page,

I'm just putting a sunflower with raindrops on it

on my notes page, just to fill up some space

and add a little bit of something.

I know it's very simple, and not much is going on,

but I honestly love the way this page looks,

and I think it's gonna look even better

when it's all filled out.

And now we're on to my weekly spreads.

I'm gonna try something totally different this month.

I really like to switch up my weekly spreads.

I loved the one that I had last month,

so this one is kind of inspired by that,

but with a little bit less going on.

I don't want it to be too in your face.

All I really need it to have are my days

and enough space to fill out each day.

That's it, that's all I need.

But I don't want it to be too boring,

like my minimalist spread,

so for every day, I am drawing out big, bold numbers

and then writing over top of them in cursive,

and because I loved doing that ombre thing

on my cover page, I am using ombre

all over the place for this.

And I'm gonna fill in every single number

with this pretty fade of green to blue

just to go with my kind of rainy colors theme,

and I love the way this looks.

It's so easy, but it comes out looking

so much harder than it was.

And then I'm just going over every single number

with a little cursive, bold title of my day.

I'm gonna add a little place for notes,

and then in the bottom right corner,

as usual, I'm just adding a little,

tiny miniature calendar of the month,

just so I can refer to that whenever I need to.

And then I'm just gonna do the same thing

for the rest of my weeks, and then I'm done.

So let's just do a nice,

pretty flip through of my month.

Take a nice, good overall look at what we have,

and that is it.

I love the way this month looks.

This is one of my favorite spreads.

I feel like I say that every month,

but, you know, you improve every time.

But I just love the balance of minimalist and maximalist.

It's not too crazy.

It's structured enough without driving me insane,

but that's it for my April bullet journal spread.

I hope you guys like it.

Let me know in the comments below what you think

I should do next month for the month of May.

What do you think my theme should be?

It could be anything you want.

Anything your heart desires.

But that's it for this video.

I am Steph Cozza, and I will see you next month.

Happy bullet journaling!

3 (Actually Safe) Ways to Fight Climate Change - Duration: 4:43.

[ ♪ Intro ]

Scientists agree that climate change is happening and that Earth is getting warmer.

And while that means we all need to get serious about limiting our carbon dioxide emissions

-- for real this time! -- it also means scientists are looking for plan B. Because we might need it.

Many researchers are thinking about changing the climate with climate engineering or geoengineering.

We've talked about some of these ideas before -- like throwing a bunch of stuff in the air

to reflect sunlight and cool the planet.

But big things like this would have huge downsides, like changing rainfall patterns, and probably

other stuff we can't even predict.

That has some researchers searching for yet another way -- like by using the Earth to

clean up our messes for us.

Here are three ways we could do that.

Plants are great for the environment because they can suck CO2 out of the air and give

us oxygen in return.

But the simple fact is that, between farming and other uses of land, we don't have the

space to plant enough trees to solve our climate change problem.

Still, we do have oceans, and they're good at growing plants, too.

Seaweed, for instance, grows extremely quickly, some 30 to 60 times faster than land plants.

And it's relatively easy to grow in bulk.

So, some folks are proposing seaweed farms as a solution to our carbon woes.

You'd grow the seaweed, and then it could be turned into a biofuel and used to power

something like a car.

One research group estimated that if you devoted 9% of the ocean to growing seaweed, you could

provide all the biofuel the world needs.

And as long as you captured any emissions from that fuel, you could still remove about

as much CO2 as the world spits out every year.

They project this would offset all our emissions by 2035, and even get us back to the level

of carbon dioxide that scientists say is safe -- about 350 parts per million -- by 2085.

For comparison, we're at about 410 parts per million now, which is not so great.

By removing CO2 dissolved in water, seaweed would even help with ocean acidification,

which can make life hard for creatures like coral.

Still, if this all seems like a longshot, you're right.

Massive seaweed farms aren't exactly an investor's dream, and to make it truly work,

you'd need to figure out how to capture carbon emissions efficiently.

But it sure beats planting a few forests, which would never be able to scale up like this.

So we could always try this on a small scale and see how it works.

As wonderful as seaweed is at fixing carbon, some engineers and start-ups are trying to

take that a step further.

They want to improve on Mother Nature by creating artificial trees and plants.

These machines would take carbon dioxide out of the air directly, using so-called direct

air capture technology.

Different machines work differently, but most use specialized materials that bind CO2 more

tightly than other molecules.

Then, the systems either store the gas indefinitely, or use it for biofuel.

Some, including one running prototype in Iceland, even turn the CO2 into stone.

They piggyback on the fact that carbon dioxide will react with certain rocks, like basalt,

to form carbonite minerals.

That keeps the CO2 out of the air basically forever.

Which sounds awesome.

Other designs call for pumping the captured gas into greenhouses to grow crops.

Still, the biggest problem with all of these is cost.

We have prototypes that work, but they don't work very well, and they're just too darn expensive.

Right now, it takes some $200-600 to get one metric ton out of the air -- so it would take

billions of dollars to solve our climate problem.

We'd need to cut that cost way down to flood the world with these super trees.

Another option might be to skip the plants and pseudo-plants entirely, and just freeze

carbon dioxide right out of the air.

This might be the strangest proposal of all, but the idea is relatively simple.

First, go to a place where it's super cold, like Antarctica, where carbon dioxide almost

freezes on its own already.

Then, build freezers to bring the temperature down to about -140° Celsius.

Depending on the pressure, that's enough to turn the CO2 into snow so you can store

it in a frozen landfill forever.

Still, to make this work, the energy for the freezers would have to come from a renewable

source, like a nearby wind farm.

One group of scientists thinks 16 or so wind farms would do the trick.

They'd power 450 snow plants and pull 1 billion metric tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere every year.

That's only a small fraction of what we emit, but, hey, it's a start.

There's also a variant on this idea that involves making CO2 basically rain out of the sky.

You'd fling a compound called monoethanolamine into the air, which is great at binding CO2.

Then, it would grab the carbon dioxide and fall to earth, where it would collect on the

ice sheet of East Antarctica.

I mean, it's not like we're doing much down there anyway.

This last one is still super hypothetical, but it goes to show just how strange these ideas get.

Compared to true geoengineering efforts, all of these ideas are somewhat small-scale, so

they'd have to be ramped up in a huge way to make much of an impact on our carbon levels.

But because they're less risky, they're more likely to be tried than any major project.

And, at this point, that might be the most important thing.

Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow!

climate change, you can watch our episode all about it.

Bank Of America Gets Caught Again: And Again No One Goes To Jail - Duration: 8:06.

Three former Bank of America executives have been awarded 83 million dollars by the SEC

for exposing fraud within the bank.

As a result, the Bank of America is ordered to pay 430 million dollars to the government.

While that may seem like a heavy penalty, it's not.

The fact that Bank of America made 17 billion dollars in profits that same year, and it

has some people wondering if Bank of America's financial penalty was really just a payment

to stay out of jail.

Joining me to talk about this is RT correspondent, Trinity Chavez.

Trinity, are these whistleblower cases against Wall Street really affecting any kind of meaningful

change when all they have to do is pay money?

What's your take on that?

Well, people are realizing the potential benefits of reporting wrongdoing in the Security Exchange

Commission, and the CFTC, which is the Commodity Futures Tradings Commission's whistleblower

program, it's sort of been a quiet sister of the SEC; but it's crucial that the exchange

commission maintains confidence in the US stock market.

This is absolutely critical to having a strong functioning US economy.

If there is doubt that there is transparency, that there's not transparency into the workings

of the US companies, and if there's uncertainty that investors are actually getting accurate

information about corporate profitability, the stock market would be vulnerable to sit

in shifts as hidden information comes out.

The Security Exchange Commission increases transparency and the trust in the stock market,

and that's why it's the most sophisticated and popular stock market in the world.

The transparency attracts much more business to US financial institutions, and it makes

it easier for companies to offer initial public offering.

Trinity, at this point, we know that we really can't believe even what we read in the financial

data.

We saw it in 2008, what was it?

24 hours before Shearson Lehman went out of business.

They were telling their brokers in the field, 'Hey, continue selling this.'

The brokers couldn't even find out what the truth was.

We have this naïve notion that everything's going to be okay at the highest level, that

people really aren't going to lie to us at the highest level.

So we saw 2008 was an example of we just can't take that attitude anymore, because they lie

at the very highest level.

Shearson Lehman is the greatest example I can give you.

Everybody at the very top kept all of their money, and everyone at the bottom to middle

level lost all their money because of the big lie.

It's a system that's already corrupt.

I'm wondering why is the SEC offering such an amount of money to Wall Street whistle

blowers when no doubt they were part of it in the long run.

Is it really the best way to go about shining the light on corruption?

Or, isn't it best just to throw some of these thugs in prison?

What's your take?

Well, this is a way for Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate the stock market and

to protect investors.

To do this, they have to incentivize whistle blowers to expose security fraud by offering

what they call a 'bounty' worth between 10 and 30%.

I mean could you imagine if you got 10% for blowing the whistle on Maddoff's 50 billion

dollar Ponzi scheme?

The payoff for that would be huge.

As you can imagine, monetary incentives, especially of this magnitude when you're dealing with

millions and billions of dollars, it can encourage unreliable tips.

According to the Security Exchange, since the implementing the bounty program, they

have seen more than 14,000 tips.

Last year alone, the Commission received over 4200.

This surge could represent an increase of awareness of the whistleblower program and

the growing acceptance of the role.

But, while the number of whistle blowing reports continue to rise, the quality of the tips

still have to be assessed to see if they will ultimately detect fraud; which requires time.

I'm very familiar with whistleblower cases.

We handle them all over the country.

Anybody that is actually familiar with this process will tell you there's two steps that

have to take place.

First of all as the whistleblower case, you have to expose the fraud; but then the most

important thing is not just getting the money collected, it is throwing people in prison

who participate.

That was the whole purpose of whistle blowing to begin with.

It's where Abraham Lincoln came up with these laws that said during the Civil War, you had

profiteers that were selling absolute garbage to soldiers.

I mean guns that wouldn't shoot, shoes that would fall apart after the 24 hours.

He didn't just take money from the corporations doing that.

He was throwing people in jail.

That was the whole purpose of whistle blowing to begin with.

It's a two part series.

We're missing the second part: nobody goes to jail.

What exactly was the scheme that Bank of America pulled off here?

How much profit did they rake in by doing it?

Well, Bank of America Merrill Lynch was systematically misleading clients about stock trades.

The bank was apparently involved in a fraudulent masking scheme designed to mislead clients

about who was responsible for executing in-house orders.

Between 2009 and 2015, the bank told its customers that it was executing trade orders themselves,

when they were actually routing them to electronic liquidity providers.

This scheme affected more 16 million client orders.

Merrill Lynch admitted to wrongdoing in the 415 million dollar settlement and misusing

customer cash by holding up to 58 billion dollars a day in a clearing account, when

it should have been held in a reserve.

In this case, the Security Exchange Commission awarded the whistle blowers that were tied

to the settlement, a staggering 83 million dollars.

Two of them got 50 million, and the third one got 33 million.

Well again, that's a good start, Trinity.

I know you cover these stories a lot and you probably see it a lot.

You see where yeah, the regulators come in and they take some money from the company.

The money is just cost of doing business.

I mean these are companies, to pay out even a billion dollars, doesn't mean anything to

them if they're making 20 billion dollars a year.

It just doesn't mean anything.

The second part of the whistleblower schematic needs to be people need to go to prison.

That's the way it was initially designed, to tell you the truth.

Is it strange to you that the Bank of America ran with this fraud within the first year

after they received 20 billion dollars in taxpayer bailout money from the government?

I mean taxpayers came out of their pocket, paid them 20 billion dollars.

Doesn't that seem to say to them that the government's going to reward you no matter

what you do?

Isn't that kind of the message there?

Well, let's take a look at the facts.

B of A Merrill Lynch received that 20 billion dollar bailout that you're talking about in

January 2009.

That was after it already received 25 billion dollars from TARP.

Soon after that is when the banks started with their masking scheme.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the bank is sort of being rewarded, but the government,

... by the government.

But, the numbers and the timeline, they do raise some suspicious questions, Mike.

Yeah.

Well you know, the truth is, Trinity, if you take a look and you really look closely beyond

what tax payers had to pay out to make all this happen, to make ... to give these bankers

a free pass from stealing more than a trillion dollars from the American economy.

Some people say it's as high as eight trillion dollars, depending on who you're talking to.

The impact that they had on the American economy and the world economy was substantial.

None of them, again, nobody went to jail.

Taxpayers pay out money to keep them out, so they can keep their profits.

The same people who made those decisions are still in leadership with all of these banks

right now.

It's a problem that I think, until we get somebody in there, and until we get an Attorney

General, hopefully ... I don't think we can expect this from Jeff Sessions, but hopefully

somewhere, we'll have an Attorney General that says, 'You know what?

Democracy requires that we treat everybody alike, whether they're on Wall Street or whether

they're on Main Street.'

Trinity, thanks for joining me.
