Welcome To The Top Daily Breaking News and Here is the latest news updates for you.
Harvey Weinstein got publicly accused by 59 women of harassment, assault and rape and
immediately lost his company, his family, faces possible prosecution and got booted
from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Reporter Mark Halperin got accused of sexual misconduct by five women and immediately lost
gigs at both NBC and MSNBC, lost his Penguin publishing contract, and HBO killed a planned
movie based on his reporting.
Fox swine Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes and Eric Bolling (to name just three) got accused
of all kinds of awful sexual behavior by dozens, often paid out millions, and when it all became
public after decades, lost almost everything.
Then there's the horror in the White House, Donald Trump.
He was accused by over a dozen women of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct — and
was elected President of the United States.
Meantime, Billy Bush, the dopey former "Today" show host Trump had advised to "Grab them
by the p----," lost his job at NBC for participating in the conversation.
Being the nephew of the former President doesn't protect you, but being the candidate or the
President does.
Tragically, no matter what we American voters like to believe about ourselves, we clearly
still harbor some kind of primitive admiration for what we think of as manly men in the White
House — predators who treat women like objects to be taken at will.
That is all from the news center, Thanks for watching Top daily Breaking News.

When I went back for my eye test, I requested the doctor to retest 3 times
Because I couldn't believe that my power had dropped 400 degress!

WHY SARMAT (SATAN 2) IS THE MOST POWERFUL MISSILE IN THE WORLD ? - Duration: 7:05.
Russia carried out a successful test of its RS-28 Sarmt nuclear missile as part of Zapad-2017
on Thursday night, the country's defense ministry said.
The exercise, known as Zapad-2017, is the latest iteration of a series of training maneuvers
that began under the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
After a long break following the collapse of communism, Zapad was revived in 1999 and
then was expanded after Vladimir Putin became president at the end of that year.
Zapad, "west" in Russian, used to include military forces from countries under the Warsaw
Pact, the Soviet-led military alliance whose non-Soviet members have now all joined Nato.
Today, the military exercise has shrunk to just two participants — Russia and Belarus
— but it is still viewed warily by military planners in the West.
The rocket, also known as Satan 2 , was fired from the Plestek Cosmodrome and travelled
3,600 miles before hitting a target on the Kura test range.
One official told newspaper Kommersant,"The main aim is to check the rocket's systems
at the moment of leaving the silo, the switching on of the Sarmat's first stage and the following
5 seconds.
It has been developed by Russian missile design company the Makeyev Design Bureau.
In this video, Defense Updates analyses why it the most powerful missile in the world ?
The RS-28 Sarmat is due to replace Soviet R-36M missiles which Nato experts nicknamed
"Satan" meaning the devil.
The R-36M was viewed by US analysts as giving the Soviet Union first strike advantage over
the US.
"Satan 2" is the name given to its more deadly replacement that is the RS-28 Sarmat.
According to the concept of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction), if the other side knew that
initiating a nuclear strike would also inevitably lead to their own destruction, they will not
initiate a nuclear strike.
So basically MAD prevents a nuclear war.
As United States and NATO are improving their (Ballistic Missile Defense ) BMD systems,
MAD is getting threatened since USA or NATO may be able to intercept Russia's current
nuclear missiles like R-36 Satan.
Sarmat is being designed specifically to penetrate any current or future BMD system.
It is Russia's answer to this strategic problem, and will enable Russia to maintain
the nuclear deterrence vis-à-vis United States and NATO.
According to Russia's military, "'It can beat any defenses' and wipe out entire countries ".
At the end of June 2015, it was reported that the production schedule for the first prototype
of the Sarmat was slipping.
The RS-28 Sarmat was expected to become operational in 2016.
On 10 August 2016, Russia successfully tested the RS-28's first-stage engine named PDU-99
.The first image of this new missile was declassified and unveiled in October 2016.
In May last year it was reported that the production process had been accelerated and
that the missiles would make up 100% of Russia's fixed land-based nuclear arsenal by 2021.
Sarmat uses Liquid Propellant the exact nature of which is classified.
The missile has a speed of over Mach 20.7 .It weigh in at a massive 100 tons, making
it the heaviest missile in the world.
To give viewers a perspective, the US land based strategic missile LGM-30 Minuteman 3,
has a weight of 35 tons approximately.
Speaking to Radio Sputnik, Alexei Leonov a military expert and commercial director of
"Arsenal of the Fatherland" magazine provide insight about the missile.
The military expert emphasized that Sarmat will serve as a reliable deterrent.
Leonkov highlighted the particular interest of the US and European mainstream media towards
the Russian missile, which was dubbed the "devil in disguise", "Satan" and "weapons
of nuclear hell."
Leonov said, "Let them call it what they want.
The [Sarmat] missile system which is about to enter into service is a fifth generation
system.
Its characteristics are so impressive that our opponents have reason to be afraid of
it.
According to some estimates, the missile's striking range is up to 18,000 kilometers
[11,184.6 miles].
It also has a large number of divided parts, from 10 to 15 warheads, each with a capacity
of up to 750 kilotons.
They will fly to their target at hypersonic speeds performing maneuvers so that the existing
American missile defense system would be incapable of intercepting them".
Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of 15 kt of TNT.
Samrat's cumulative explosive power will be 15 warheads multiply by 750 kt that is
around 11,000 kt of TNT
The Russian news outlet Sputnik reported in May that an RS-28 rocket is "capable of
wiping out parts of the Earth the size of France or Texas".
And by the these figures its seems that the analysis is correct.
Leonov expressed his confidence that the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant will hit its deadline
and Sarmat will enter service on schedule.
Land Based missiles are vulnerable to preemptive strikes and hence Russian experts are going
great lengths to shield it.
The Sarmat's silos will be protected by active protection measures including 100 guns
capable of firing a metallic cloud of 40,000 30 mm bullets to an altitude of up to 6 km.
The Russians are also planning to protect the Sarmat with their new S-500 air defense
systems.
S-500 system can detect incoming ballistic missiles or aircrafts at a range of 2000 km.
It designed to intercept them at a range of 500-600 km.
Finally, the missile's preparation to launch is under 60 seconds utilizing a highly automated
launch system.
All in, the Sarmat will be the best protected silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile
ever put into service worldwide.

Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would
go Our lives are better left to chance I could
have missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have changed
it all And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

TODAY ON TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.
THIS IS TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM.

WELCOME TO TRUTHS THAT TRANSFORM, A PRODUCTION OF
D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES, WHERE WE ARE STANDING FOR
TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM.

MONTHLY IMPACT NEWSLETTER.

REFORMATION HELPED GIVE BIRTH TO AMERICA."

ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S 877-962-7677.
JUST A FEW DAYS FROM NOW, ON OCTOBER 31ST, IT WILL
BE EXACTLY 500 YEARS TO THE DAY SINCE MARTIN
LUTHER NAILED HIS 95 THESES TO THE CHURCH DOOR
IN WITTENBERG, GERMANY, AND SPARKED THE PROTESTANT
REFORMATION.
ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, YOU'LL SEE THE COMPELLING STORY
OF THAT DRAMATIC CONFRONTATION, AND YOU'LL
DISCOVER THE RELEVANCE OF THE REFORMATION FOR YOUR
OWN SOUL.
AS WE BEGIN, WE'RE JOINED BY A SCHOLAR OF CHURCH
HISTORY TO HELP US UNDERSTAND ALL THIS.
DR. PETER LILLBACK IS PRESIDENT OF THE
PROVIDENCE FORUM, AND IS ALSO A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
AND PROFESSOR OF HISTORICAL THEOLOGY AS
WELL AS OF CHURCH HISTORY.
PETER, THANKS FOR JOINING US.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
THANK YOU FRANK, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN.
ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
WE'RE CELEBRATING THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
AND MUCH WILL BE SAID AND HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT IT.
IF SOMEONE WERE TO ASK YOU, "DR. LILLBACK,
GIVE ME YOUR THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF WHAT'S THE HEART
OF THE REFORMATION.
WHAT WAS THE ESSENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED 500 YEARS AGO?"
WELL, THE WORD REFORMATION HAS THE IDEA OF BEING
RESHAPED TO AN ORIGINAL STANDARD.
WE HAVE REFORMATIONS GOING ON IN MANY SPHERES OF LIFE
AND SO THIS WAS THE TIME WHEN THE CHURCH WAS
REQUIRED BY LUTHER'S COURAGE AND THOSE THAT
FOLLOWED HIM TO BE MEASURED, ONCE AGAIN, BY
SOLA SCRIPTURA- THE SCRIPTURES ALONE AS THE
STANDARD FOR THE CHURCH'S FAITH AND PRACTICE.
SO, IN A SIMPLE STATEMENT, THE REFORMATION IS ABOUT
BEING FAITHFUL TO THE BIBLE ONCE AGAIN IN THE
HISTORY OF THE CHURCH'S LIFE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS.
BECAUSE, WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE ROTUNDA OF THE
US CAPITOL, ONE OF THE EIGHT GREAT PORTRAITS
HANGING IN THE ROTUNDA IS OF THE PILGRIMS LANDING AT
PLYMOUTH ROCK AND THERE'S AN OPEN BIBLE IN THAT
SCENE AND IT'S THE BIBLE WITH CALVIN'S COMMENTARY
ON THE SIDELINES OR ON THE MARGINS.
WHAT IMPACT DID THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION
HAVE ON WHAT WE SOMETIMES REFER TO AS THE AMERICAN
EXPERIMENT?
WELL, THE SILENT WITNESS OF THE IMPACT IS EVIDENT
EVERY TIME WE SEE A PRESIDENT TAKING THE OATH
OF OFFICE.
HOW DID THAT BIBLE GET THERE?
WHY DOES HE PUT HIS HAND ON IT AND TAKE AN OATH?
BECAUSE THAT WAS THE STANDARD OF TRUTH, IT WAS
THE STANDARD OF AUTHORITY.
IT WAS A WAY OF SAYING THAT, "I AM TAKING A VOW
IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD BECAUSE THIS IS GOD'S WORD
AND I WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY WORD
BASED UPON THE TEACHING OF THAT SCRIPTURES.
SO THE BIBLE CREATED, IF YOU WILL, THE STANDARDS OF
MORALITY AS WELL AS THE RELIGION THAT SHAPED THE
IDEAS OF FREEDOM.
THE IDEA OF THE BIBLE BEING IMPORTANT FOR
AMERICAN CULTURE IS SEEN IN THE FACT THAT
WASHINGTON- AT THE END OF THE REVOLUTION- SAID WE'LL
NEVER BE A HAPPY NATION UNLESS WE IMITATE THE
DIVINE AUTHOR OF OUR BLESSED RELIGION.
IN OTHER WORDS, HE WAS SAYING WE NEED TO KNOW THE
BIBLE AND WHO CHRIST IS IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
SUCCESSFUL NATION.
IT'S PLANTED THERE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.
ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF THE PRE-REFORMATION
CHURCH, AT LEAST FOR INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIANS,
WAS KIND OF A COMPARTMENTALIZATION OF
LIFE WHERE YOU LIVED A SECULAR LIFE SIX DAYS A
WEEK AND ON SUNDAY YOU SORT OF DID ALL YOUR
RELIGIOUS THINGS TOGETHER.
HOW DID THE REFORMATION CHANGE THAT?
ONE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF THE REFORMATION,
ESPECIALLY, IN THE REFORMED AND CALVINISTIC
TRADITION EMPHASIZED THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
REALLY THE HEART OF OUR DUTIES TO GOD AND TO OUR
NEIGHBOR.
AND IT'S FASCINATING THAT THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT
SAYS, "SIX DAYS YOU SHALL WORK AND THEN YOU SHALL
KEEP THE SABBATH."
IN OTHER WORDS, THE ENTIRE WEEK IS AN EXPRESSION OF
WORSHIP.
IT'S IN THE FIRST TABLE OF THE LAW AND HOW WE LOVE
AND WORSHIP GOD.
NOW THERE'S SPECIAL WORSHIP.
WHAT WE DO ON SUNDAYS, BUT THERE'S DAILY WORSHIP THAT
IS JUST AS MUCH PART OF WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE FOR US.
AND, OF COURSE, THAT THEN CREATES THE PROTESTANT
WORK ETHIC.
SIX DAYS ARE WORSHIPING GOD, GIVING GOD YOUR BEST
FOR HIS GLORY.
AND THEN OUT OF THE FRUITS OF THAT WE HAVE TIME TO
STOP AND WORSHIP GOD AND SHARE OUT OF THE FRUITS OF
WHAT WE'VE ACCUMULATED TO ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM.
WORK AND WORSHIP GO HAND IN HAND IN THE REFORMED
TRADITION AND THAT COMES RIGHT OUT OF THE
REFORMATION.
MARTIN LUTHER WAS EXORCISED ABOUT SOME VERY
SPECIFIC THINGS.
I MEAN HE NAILED A LIST OF 95 THINGS ON THE DOOR OF
THE CHURCH AT WITTENBERG.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT
LUTHER HAD?
WELL, THE SPECIFIC ISSUE WAS THE PROBLEM OF
INDULGENCES.
IT'S A COMPLICATED STORY, BUT IT IN A SIMPLE
NARRATIVE WE CAN SAY THIS: THAT OVER TIME THE
PRACTICE OF PENANCE, NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE,
RATHER, THE IDEA THAT THE PRIEST IS GOING TO TELL
YOU WHAT TO DO TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR SINS INSTEAD OF
REPENTANCE- TURNING FROM YOUR SIN AND THEN ASKING
GOD TO FORGIVE YOU- THE CHURCH WAS GOING TO TELL
YOU WHAT YOU DO AND THEN YOU COULD THEN FIND
RESTORATION, SATISFACTION.
NOW SOMETIMES WHAT YOU'RE ASKED TO DO IS UTTERLY
IMPOSSIBLE AND DIFFICULT AND SO THEY GAVE YOU AN
INDULGENCE; THEY SAID, "WELL, LET'S HELP YOU
WITH THIS."
AND THEY SAID, "WELL HOW ABOUT IF YOU PAY A FINE
INSTEAD OF YOUR DOING 100 HAIL MARYS' AFTER 20 MILES
OF TRAVELING TO THE SHRINE."
AND SO THAT BEGAN THE PROCESS AND THEN, BECAUSE
IT WAS LUCRATIVE AND PRACTICAL, IT WAS APPLIED
TO MANY OTHER THINGS LIKE, "WHAT ABOUT THE SOUL IN
PURGATORY.
CAN WE BUY INDULGENCES FOR THE DEAD?
WILL IT HELP ME WITH FUTURE SINS?
WHAT IF I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING WRONG?
IF I BUY AN INDULGENCE WILL IT COVER IT?"
"YEA, IT'LL COVER THAT TOO."
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IS THAT THOSE KIND OF
HUMAN INVENTIONS WERE GOING ON AND THAT'S WHERE
LUTHER, UNWITTINGLY, WHEN HE NAILED THE 95 THESES TO
THE WITTENBERG CHURCH DOOR DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS
STARTING A REFORMATION.
HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO BREAK FROM
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
HE SAW HIMSELF AS A FAITHFUL ROMAN CATHOLIC
PRIEST TRYING TO JUST REFORM THE CHURCH ON THIS
SPECIFIC AREA AND SOME OTHER AREAS HE WAS
CONCERNED ABOUT.
LO AND BEHOLD WHEN THEY CONDEMNED HIM AS A
HERETIC.
HE SAID, "ALL I'VE DONE IS TEACH THE BIBLE.
IF THIS IS SIN ENOUGH TO BE CONDEMNED THEN WHOEVER
WROTE THESE IS AN ANTI-CHRIST BECAUSE HE'S
STANDING AGAINST THE BIBLE.
AND THAT WAS THE EPIPHANY FOR LUTHER WHEN HE
REALIZED, "I'M LAUNCHING A NEW RETURN TO THE BIBLE
WITH THE CHURCH THAT DOESN'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE
SCRIPTURES."
AND HE WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR THAT FAITH.
AND THAT'S WHY 500 YEARS LATER, WE'RE STILL TALKING
ABOUT WHAT THEY DID, BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID WE
CONTINUE TO NEED TO DO.
IT CHANGED THE WORLD THEN AND WHEN THE REFORMATION
PRINCIPLES ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, THEY CHANGE
OUR LIVES.
AND THEY CHANGE OUR WORLD.
AND WE NEED A NEW REFORMATION BECAUSE THE
WORLD IS CONSTANTLY MOVING AWAY FROM GOD IN HIS WORD
AND WE NEED TO SAY, COME BACK TO THE TRUTH OF
SCRIPTURES.
BECAUSE HERE THERE IS A PLACE TO STAND AND BUILD
YOUR LIFE.
PETER THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU HERE.
IT'S A GREAT HONOR TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN, FRANK.
GOD'S CONTINUED BLESSINGS ON YOUR EXTRAORDINARY
MINISTRY.
THANK YOU.
AS DR. LILLBACK HAS SHARED WITH US, THE PROTESTANT
REFORMATION BROUGHT A NECESSARY SHIFT TO THE
CHURCH, AWAY FROM MAN-MADE TRADITIONS AND BACK
TOWARDS THE WORD OF GOD AS THE ONLY INFALLIBLE RULE
FOR LIFE AND FOR FAITH.
THE CHURCH IS ALWAYS IN NEED OF REFORMING WITH THE
WORD OF GOD AS THE STANDARD- AND SO ARE WE,
AS DR. KENNEDY SHARES IN THIS PORTION OF HIS
MESSAGE, "A NEW REFORMATION."
AS WE ALL KNOW, OCTOBER 31ST IS
IS WHAT?
WELL, IF YOU ASK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, I THINK
THE RESPONSE WOULD BE INSTANTANEOUS: "IT'S
HALLOWEEN."
WELL, YES, BUT IT IS ALSO SOMETHING FAR, FAR MORE
IMPORTANT THAN THAT.
IT IS REFORMATION DAY.
IT IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
IT IS THE DAY WHEN WE CELEBRATE THE RECLAIMING
OF THE GOSPEL OF GRACE FROM OUT OF THE MIST AND
DARKNESS OF THE DARK AGES.
IT IS A DAY THAT ALL OF US WHO KNOW CHRIST ARE
BLESSED BY.
TODAY OF COURSE IS REFORMATION SUNDAY.
ABOUT 500 YEARS AGO THIS DAY, MARTIN LUTHER NAILED
UP HIS 95 THESES ON THE DOOR OF WITTENBERG ON
OCTOBER 31ST.
AND THEN, MY FRIEND, THERE WAS THE BEGINNING OF A
CONTINENT-WIDE MOVEMENT THAT THE GOSPEL OF THE
SCRIPTURES OF THE GRACE OF GOD, NOT THROUGH THE MERIT
OF MAN BUT THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE
PERFECT OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST AND HIS ATONING
DEATH FOR OUR SINS, HOW HIS BLOOD WASHES AWAY
OUR SIN AND HIS OBEDIENCE CLOTHES US IN A PERFECT
WHITE RIGHTEOUSNESS- THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST
ALONE, FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE THE THRONE.
AND THINGS BEGAN TO BE STIRRED UP.
PEOPLE WERE REJOICING IN THEIR NEW-FOUND FAITH IN
THE BLESSED ASSURANCE THAT THEY HAD ETERNAL LIFE.
FOR AS LONG AS ONE IS STRIVING TO SAVE ONE'S OWN
SOUL, HE CAN NEVER BE SURE THAT HE WILL MAKE IT, AND
THUS HE IS FILLED WITH DOUBT.
NO ONE CAN SAVE HIS OWN SOUL.
MARTIN LUTHER HAD MADE THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF HIS
LIFE OR OF ANY LIFE.
HE HAD DISCOVERED THE GRACE OF GOD, THAT WE
CANNOT SAVE OUR OWN SOULS, BUT THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME
FROM HEAVEN, AND THERE IN THE AGONY, THE
EXCRUCIATING AGONY OF THE CROSS, HE DIED TO SAVE
THEM FOR US.
HE DISCOVERED THE WONDROUS GRACE OF CHRIST.
HE WROTE A LETTER, WHICH I THINK, IS SO REVEALING OF
HIS HEART'S PASSION.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK YOU, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO
RECEIVE A LETTER LIKE THIS FROM SOMEONE LIKE MARTIN
LUTHER?
IT WAS TO A DEAR FRIEND OF HIS, GEORGE SPALATIN,
AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID TO HIM.
HE SAID, "DEAR GEORGE."
HE SAID, "HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL?"
EVER GOTTEN A LETTER LIKE THAT?
I HAVEN'T.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW: HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL?
WE TALK ABOUT EVERY CONCEIVABLE WORLDLY,
EARTHLY, TEMPORAL THING IN OUR LETTERS, BUT HAVE YOU
EVER WRITTEN OR GOTTEN A LETTER LIKE THAT?
AND HE WENT ON TO SAY, "I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO
KNOW HOW IT IS WITH YOUR SOUL?"
HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT HIS FRIEND SPALATIN REALLY
KNEW CHRIST, AND HE SAID, "IS YOUR SOUL WEARY OF ITS
OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS?"
IS YOURS?
DEAR FRIEND, DO YOU TIRE OF TRUSTING IN YOURSELF?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN TO SING A NEW SONG?
REALIZE THAT YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BUT
FILTHY RAGS, AND LOOK TO JESUS CHRIST AND SAY,
"LORD JESUS, THOU ART MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND I AM
YOUR SIN."
THAT IS THE GOSPEL, DEAR FRIEND.
HE SAID THAT THE GOSPEL WAS THE VERITABLE "GATE OF
GOD" OPENING INTO PARADISE.
AND SO IT TRANSFORMED MANY OF THE NATIONS OF EUROPE,
SPREAD OVER TO GREAT BRITAIN AND SAILED ACROSS
THE SEA.
THE PILGRIMS, THE PURITANS, WERE ALL
FOLLOWERS OF JOHN CALVIN, WHO WAS A FOLLOWER OF
MARTIN LUTHER, AND SO, INDIRECTLY, HE FOUNDED
THIS COUNTRY.
AND INTERESTINGLY, THOSE NATIONS WHICH HAVE
ACCEPTED THIS MESSAGE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY GOD, AND
THOSE THAT HAVE REJECTED IT HAVE BECOME A PART OF
THE BACKWASH OF HISTORY.
IT'S TRUE NOT ONLY WITH EVERY NATION, BUT EVERY
SOUL AS WELL.
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH
ALONE IS THE ARTICLE OF A STANDING OR FALLING
CHURCH, OF A STANDING OR FALLING NATION, OF A
STANDING OR FALLING SOUL.
DEAR FRIEND, HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL THIS DAY?
DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT WITH GOD?
AS DR. KENNEDY JUST EXPLAINED, THE REFORMATION
HAD A MASSIVE IMPACT ON WHAT BECAME THE WESTERN
WORLD.
AND IT BROUGHT BACK THE CENTRAL POINT THAT WE EACH
MUST STAND ON OUR OWN BEFORE GOD'S JUDGMENT.
WE'LL HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT THAT A BIT LATER IN
THE PROGRAM.
BUT WE MUST ALSO NOT FORGET THAT THE
REFORMATION BEGAN- 500 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK- WITH
A VERY COMPELLING STORY.
DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE HAS MORE.
THE YEAR 2017 CELEBRATES THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE NAILING OF THE 95 THESES ON INDULGENCES BY
MARTIN LUTHER TO THE CASTLE CHURCH DOOR IN
WITTENBERG, GERMANY.
SO THAT'S OFTEN TAKEN BY SCHOLARS AS THE BEGINNING
OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
SO IF YOU EVER HEAR THE WORD "PROTESTANT" THAT'S
WHERE IT ALL BEGINS.
ON OCTOBER 31ST, 1517, A YOUNG MONK NAMED MARTIN
LUTHER NAILED A LIST OF DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TO THE CATHEDRAL DOOR IN
WITTENBERG, GERMANY.
IN DOING SO, HE TOUCHED OFF A REFORMATION THAT
WOULD TURN THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN.
AND TO THINK, IT ALL BEGAN BECAUSE OF A THUNDERSTORM.
HISTORY PROFESSOR DR. RICHARD WEIKART OF
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, STANISLAUS,
RECENTLY TRAVELED TO GERMANY TO RETRACE THE
STEPS OF MARTIN LUTHER, WHO INITIALLY SET OUT TO
BE A LAWYER, TO MAKE HIS FATHER HAPPY.
IN 1505, LUTHER'S LIFE TOOK A DRAMATIC TURN HERE
OUTSIDE OF ERFURT AT THE LUTHERAN STONE MEMORIAL.
AT THAT TIME HE WAS CONFRONTED BY A
THUNDERSTORM THAT MADE HIM SO FRIGHTENED THAT HE
CALLED OUT TO ST. ANNE, ASKING FOR HELP.
IF SHE HELPED, HE WOULD BECOME A MONK.
TO THE CONSTERNATION OF HIS FATHER, HE KEPT THAT
PLEDGE.
LUTHER WAS A ZEALOUS MONK, CONFESSING HIS SINS OFTEN
AND PERFORMING WORKS OF CONTRITION AND
SELF-DENIAL.
HE ONCE COMMENTED, "IF EVER A MONK COULD GET INTO
HEAVEN THROUGH MONASTIC DISCIPLINE, I WAS THAT
MONK."
BUT SOON HE LEARNED THE FUTILITY OF TRYING TO RELY
UPON HIS WORKS TO GET HIS SALVATION.
AFTER LUTHER CAME IN 1511 TO WITTENBERG, HE RECEIVED
HIS DOCTORATE OF THEOLOGY AND THEN BEGAN LECTURING
ON THE BIBLICAL BOOKS OF THE PSALMS, ROMANS,
GALATIANS, AND HEBREWS.
OVER TIME, HIS BIBLICAL STUDIES CONVINCED HIM
SALVATION WAS A GIFT FROM GOD, AND ROMANS 1:17
BECAME HIS WATCHWORD, "THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
THIS IS THE CASTLE CHURCH DOOR IN WITTENBERG, WHERE
LUTHER ALLEGEDLY NAILED UP THE 95 THESES ON
OCTOBER 31ST, 1517.
LUTHER'S DOCUMENT WAS RESPONDING TO THE CRASS
INDULGENCE PREACHING OF THE DOMINICAN MONK,
JOHANNES TETZEL, WHO TOLD THE PEOPLE, "AS SOON AS
THE COIN IN THE COFFER CLINGS, A SOUL FROM
PURGATORY SPRINGS."
PURGATORY WAS, ACCORDING TO CATHOLIC TEACHING, A
TEMPORARY PLACE OF PUNISHMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO
WEREN'T QUALIFIED YET TO GET INTO HEAVEN.
LUTHER WAS OUTRAGED BY THAT PREACHING AND RIGHTLY
CHARGED THAT THE SALE OF INDULGENCES WERE MOTIVATED
BY GREED, RATHER THAN COMPASSION FOR SOULS.
THESE INDULGENCES HAD BEEN COMMISSIONED BY LEO X TO
HELP BUILD ST. PETER'S CATHEDRAL.
POPE LEO X WAS ENRAGED BY LUTHER'S CHALLENGE TO THE
INDULGENCES HE'D AUTHORIZED.
SO HE TRIED TO BRING THE GERMAN MONK INTO
SUBMISSION.
IN OCTOBER 1518, THE POPE SENT CARDINAL CAJETAN AS
HIS REPRESENTATIVE TO TRY TO CONVINCE LUTHER TO
RECANT.
WHEN LUTHER HAD REFUSED TO RECANT HIS TEACHINGS ABOUT
JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH, THE POPE FINALLY
EXCOMMUNICATED LUTHER IN 1520.
REPEATEDLY, THE CHURCH AND THEN THE EMPEROR CHARLES V
PUT PRESSURE ON LUTHER TO RECANT.
BUT THE HUMBLE FORMER MONK FAMOUSLY SAID IN 1521
DURING ONE OF THOSE CONFRONTATIONS- AT THE
DIET OF WORMS.
BY SO DECLARING THIS, AT THAT TIME, HE COULD
HAVE BEEN SIGNING HIS DEATH WARRANT.
A CENTURY BEFORE BOHEMIAN PRIEST JOHN HUS ALSO
REFUSED TO RECANT HIS EVANGELICAL BELIEFS.
AND HE WAS DELIVERED UP TO THE FLAMES AS A HERETIC.
BUT LUTHER EXPERIENCED A DIFFERENT OUTCOME BECAUSE
OF THE INTERVENTION OF HIS LOCAL MAGISTRATE- RIGHT
AFTER THE DIET OF WORMS.
AND ON HIS WAY BACK TO WITTENBERG, HIS FRIENDLY
PRINCE, ELECTOR FREDERICK THE WISE HAD HIM KIDNAPPED
AND BROUGHT TO THIS CASTLE WHERE HE REMAINED
INCOGNITO FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS.
DURING THAT TIME, LUTHER DIDN'T WASTE HIS TIME, BUT
HE TRANSLATED THE BIBLE INTO GERMAN, WHICH BECAME
THE BASIS FOR MODERN HIGH GERMAN AND GAVE THE BIBLE
TO THE COMMON PEOPLE, SO THEY COULD READ IT FOR
THEMSELVES AND SEE IF HIS TEACHINGS WERE TRUE.
THE BIBLE WAS ALWAYS HELD IN VERY HIGH ESTEEM, BUT
IT WAS THOUGHT DURING MEDIEVAL TIMES THAT ONLY
THE EDUCATED, ONLY THE PRIESTS, THE PROFESSORS
COULD UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE.
NOW LUTHER REVOLUTIONIZED THAT AND SAID, "THE BIBLE
NEEDS TO GO TO EVERYONE.
IT NEEDS TO BE THE SPEECH OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME,
AND IT NEEDS TO BE TOUCHING THEM."
THIS PRINTING PRESS HERE AT THE LUTHER HOUSE
ILLUSTRATES THE WAY THAT LUTHER'S MESSAGE WAS TO
GET OUT TO THE PEOPLE.
HIS BIBLE TRANSLATION AND HIS PAMPHLETS WERE TO
SPREAD FAR AND WIDE THROUGHOUT GERMANY, USING
THIS NEW INVENTION, WHICH CAME OUT IN THE LATE 15TH
CENTURY.
THE CORE OF THE REFORMATIONS ACTIVITY WAS
TO BRING PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORD OF GOD AS THE
SOLE STANDARD OF WHAT THE CHURCH BELIEVES, WHAT IT
DOES IN ITS PRACTICE, AND WHAT ARE ITS IMPLICATIONS
FOR CULTURE AND LIFE.
AND SO THE SIMPLE PRINCIPAL IS: THE BIBLE
ALONE OR MORE FANCILY: SOLA SCRIPTURA.
THAT WAS THE HEART OF THE REFORMATION.
WE HAVE ONLY SCRATCHED THE SURFACE TODAY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE IMPACT OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
BY TAKING US BACK TO THE TEXT OF THE BIBLE, MARTIN
LUTHER, JOHN CALVIN, AND THE OTHER REFORMERS
UNLEASHED THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD IN A WAY THAT
TRANSFORMED EVERYTHING.
YET MANY PEOPLE YOU KNOW THINK THAT CHRISTIANITY IS
AN IRRELEVANT AFTERTHOUGHT.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT
HOW THE BIBLE HAS INFLUENCED OUR WORLD, AND
HERE'S MY VERY GOOD FRIEND JENNIFER KENNEDY CASSIDY
WITH SOME EXCITING AND EYE-OPENING RESOURCES.
JENNIFER WELCOME.
THANK YOU, FRANK.
IN OUR CULTURE TODAY, THE BIBLE IS PERHAPS THE MOST
MALIGNED BOOK THERE IS.
THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE LIVES WITH NO RULES
IMPOSED ON THEM BY GOD HAVE TRIED THEIR BEST TO
CRITICIZE, SUBVERT, AND SILENCE THE BIBLE.
AND YET THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD CONTINUES ON.
IT HELPED BUILD THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, AND IT
CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM LIVES AND CULTURES DAILY.
MY FATHER, DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY, WAS PASSIONATE
FOR PROCLAIMING THE POWER OF THE BIBLE, AND THAT'S
WHY HE WROTE THE BOOK WHAT IF THE BIBLE HAD
NEVER BEEN WRITTEN, ALONG WITH DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE.

AS WE REACH THIS LANDMARK 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
EVENT THAT SPARKED THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION,
WITH MARTIN LUTHER PUBLICLY POSTING HIS
95 THESES FOR ALL TO SEE, IT IS ONLY APPROPRIATE TO
STOP FOR A MOMENT AND FOCUS ON THE CENTRAL,
LIFE-CHANGING, AND WORLD-ALTERING TRUTHS THE
REFORMERS REDISCOVERED.
MOST PEOPLE HAVE A STANDARD CONCEPTION OF
GOD AND HEAVEN.
THEY BELIEVE THAT IF WE DO ENOUGH GOOD THINGS- OR AT
LEAST IF WE DO MORE GOOD THINGS THAN BAD THINGS- WE
WILL BE RIGHT WITH GOD AND WILL GO TO HEAVEN.
BUT IN STUDYING THE SCRIPTURES MARTIN LUTHER
LEARNED SOMETHING THAT HORRIFIED HIM.
WHILE MOST OVERLOOK OR IGNORE IT, THE BIBLE
CLEARLY TEACHES THAT ALL OF OUR WORKS- EVEN THE
BEST THINGS WE DO- ARE TAINTED WITH SIN AND CAN
ONLY MERIT GOD'S WRATH.
BECAUSE WE ARE REBELLIOUS SINNERS AT HEART, THERE IS
NO GOOD DEED WE CAN PERFORM, NO OBEDIENCE TO
THE LAW, THAT WILL TAKE GOD'S JUDGMENT OFF OF US.
THIS REALITY TORMENTED LUTHER- UNTIL HE ALSO
DISCOVERED AN AMAZING TRUTH IN THE BOOK OF
GALATIANS.
IN IT THE APOSTLE PAUL SETS FORTH THE KEY TEXT OF
THE REFORMATION WHERE HE SAYS: "NOW IT IS EVIDENT
THAT NO ONE IS JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD BY THE LAW, FOR
'THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
OUR SIN HAS PUT US AT ENMITY WITH GOD- EVERY ONE
OF US, YOU AND ME.
AND THE PUNISHMENT FOR SIN IS ETERNAL DEATH.
BUT BECAUSE GOD LOVES US, HE SENT HIS VERY OWN SON,
JESUS CHRIST, TO LIVE A PERFECT AND SINLESS LIFE
AND TO DIE IN OUR PLACE.
HE DIED TO PAY THE NECESSARY PUNISHMENT FOR
SIN, AND HE OBEYED GOD PERFECTLY WHERE WE FAILED.
BY PLACING OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST OUR SINS ARE
FORGIVEN AND THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST
BECOMES OUR OWN.
THEOLOGIANS CALL THIS THE DOCTRINE OF "JUSTIFICATION
BY FAITH ALONE" OR SOLA FIDE.
THIS IS THE HEART OF WHAT WE CALL THE GOSPEL.
FOR THIS IS INDEED GOOD NEWS- IN FACT THE BEST
POSSIBLE NEWS.
"FOR OUR SAKE GOD MADE HIM MEANING JESUS TO BE SIN
WHO KNEW NO SIN, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD."

DIY | Transform my Furniture | Mirror & Dresser | (german/english subs) - Duration: 5:36.
Hey and nice that you are back again, don't wonder about this weird video intro
actually I wanted to film another Intro for it but I didn't have the time
so finally I finished my dresser, I also decorated it, maybe you can see it a little bit in the background
I filmed the transformation of it for you, of course it's a design that I like, but maybe you like it too
feel free to leave nice feedback and now I hope you will have fun with the video
I used a simple white mirror, I think you can see that it already has some defects
for the whole base coat you need different brushes but I just used the big brush
then I've got a palette for the acrylic paint
and of course black acrylic paint
you can see the mirror is just screwed together on the back so I started to loosen the screws with a cordless screwdriver
to pull out the mirror so we can paint the frame without masking the mirror
then I filled some acrylic paint into the palette and startet to paint the whole frame
this is how it looks after two layers of paint
for the decoration I used some roses, some of you may know them from my Headpiece DIY
then I used this moon necklace pendant and some lace that I also used in one of my DIY video and a hot glue gun
I started to glue on the moon pendant but you can see that the paint peeled off a little bit
on the bottom part I glued on the lace, this was a little bit tricky because the mirror has an oval shape
so I had to cut into the lace and be careful when you use hot glue and lace
then I started to glue on the roses, at first I used all the roses and glued them on to the lace but I changed it later
you will see it in the finished result, so I glued them on shifted,
for the American Horror Storry dresser I uploaded a font that is called "Hillhouse" and you can see it's almost the same font as in AHS
then white adhesive foil, I used one from "DC Fix"
then you need scissors and you need two different sizes to cut out the details
a sharp pencil, I used a fine liner, it's important to have a pen that is sharp enough to push through the foil
and a ruler to draw the lines
then I measured how much foil I need for the paper and cut it out
then I fixed it with tape on the table so it can't roll up
it's important that you put on the stencil back-to-front, so the font still shows through
it works pretty well and then you start to draw the lines and always use enough pressure so it will show up on the foil later
unfortunately it doesn't show up on camera very well but the "A" pushed through quite good
so I just have to copy the letter and this is the finished result when you copied all the letters
you can see that it looks a little bit messy, then I started to cut out the letters
I put the aside the ones with the spaces to cut them out later
this is how it looks when you finished all the letters
you can see I already put on the "Normal People Scare Me"on the left side, so I oriented to this side and put one some lines with tape
and then I started to put on the letters like I wanted them to have
this is how it looks in daylight or lamp light, I put on the "All monsters are human" centered because I like it better
I put on some lights on the mirror, it's one made of wire because you can bend it better
and my LED lights that you already know, I hope you liked this video
feel free to leave some nice feedback or subscribe to my channel and I hope I see you next time again, bye

The Open Mind: Problem-Solving Heroism - Tom Suozzi - Duration: 29:00.
HEFFNER: I'm Alexander Heffner, your host on The Open Mind.
Hometown heroes.
We want to believe in the integrity of our locally
elected congressional office holders,
representative government, and the promise of its leadership.
My own New York Third District Congressman
Tom Suozzi, who previously served as mayor of
Glen Cove, New York from '94 to 2001 and as Nassau County
Executive from '02 to 2009 is here with me today.
Modeling a courageous, constructive way forward,
an escape from party dogma an intransigence,
Suozzi is vice chair of the Bipartisan Problem
Solvers Caucus, a group of roughly 22 Republicans
and 22 Democrats committed to working across party lines
to try and find real solutions.
The caucus meets regularly,
and recently engaged with the White House and its
staff to consider issues, namely healthcare,
infrastructure, and tax reform.
Thank you Congressman for being here today.
SUOZZI: Alexander, so happy to be on your show today.
Thanks for having me.
HEFFNER: This Problem Solvers Caucus can really
leverage the positive pro-social political
capital that's left in this country.
How are you going to do it?
SUOZZI: It's not easy, I'll tell you that to start with.
The system is designed against bipartisanship.
But we've got about forty-some-odd people
right now that are committed,
equally Democrats and Republicans,
committed to trying to work together to get to
yes, to try and find answers to solve problems.
You know, there's people in Congress that,
you know, the Tea Party for example,
they want to get to know.
They want to try and block things,
the Freedom Caucus.
We want to be an antidote to that.
We want to get to yes to solve problems that exist.
The healthcare debate right now is a great
example of that, where the Republicans decided we'll
just go this alone, we'll do it by ourselves, and it failed.
And now it's resurrecting itself as we speak,
and we're saying no, you can't do it as one party.
It's not gonna work.
Let's get Democrats and Republicans to work together.
Let's all give a little bit but try and get to
an answer that actually helps the American people.
HEFFNER: Those 44 folks, are they primarily first
or second-termers?
SUOZZI: No, there are some people that have been
around for a long time and there's a lot of freshmen,
and, and, and sophomores, but there are people
that have been around for a long, long time...
HEFFNER: There's also been a Civility Caucus too, right?
SUOZZI: Well everybody, you know,
the freshmen class signed a Civility Pledge
that we would, you know, treat each other with respect
throughout this process, and I,
and I'm a freshman and I'm finding that
I'm happily surprised at the talent that's
in the House of Representatives, and
it's not this crazy everybody can't stand each other.
I just think that the structure of the system
is such right now that it works against people
working together, and the people are sick of it.
The public is sick of it. They're sick of politicians.
They're sick of politics.
They're sick of finger-pointing and blame games.
They just want us to get something actually ran
a campaign, my campaign slogan was "Suozzi gets
it done." So I'm here, I want to get something
done now and it's not easy in this environment,
so we have to battle ... I'm constantly working,
for example, to try and build relationships
with people on the other side of the aisle,
just to get to know them.
I get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and I go
to a 6:30 work, workout class that's run by a Republican
congressman from Oklahoma who's a former
MMA fighter and a wrestler.
It's half Democrats, half Repu... I'm like out
of breath the whole time.
These guys are all younger than me.
But uh, you know, just to get to know people.
Sometimes I go to the non-denominational prayer
breakfast, and these are all the southern
evangelicals, and I get in there,
I say I'm a, I'm a Catholic Democrat from
New York, they're like [LAUGHS] that's funny.
[LAUGHS] But it's a good way to get to know people.
HEFFNER: Right.
Well, we have to get to this point where we're
able to use diplomacy to, what I've said,
disagreeably agree.
You know, and I don't mean through hatchets
and knives, but through discourse,
and it's challenging but if you think back to those
great deliberative bodies, the Constitutional
Convention, the Second Continental Congress,
there was a range of perspective,
disparate views, and they reconciled.
Later there was a hugely disunifying event
that allowed us to reunify, but how do you get to yes,
that was the question. How do you get to yes?
Where have you found areas of potentially fruitful compromise?
SUOZZI: So before I get to that, if I can.
HEFFNER: Yes please.
SUOZZI: I would like to just talk about why do we
have this problem in this country, why are we so divided.
And I don't think it's 'cause people are so
different than they used to be.
It's not just because of cable television,
people, you know, going into their echo chamber
and listening to people that agree with themselves.
A lot of it has to do with the fact that
of the 435 members of the House of Representatives,
most of the seats, 390, maybe 400, are safe seats.
They're guaranteed either gonna be Democratic no
matter what or they're gonna be Republican no matter what.
And as a result, you can't lose the election
in the general election.
It's impossible to lose the general election.
But you could lose, possibly, the primary.
And nobody votes in the primary.
So if a Democrat's running and they can only lose
in a primary, they're gonna play to the far left of
the party because they can only lose a primary,
and only 10 percent of the people vote in a primary.
In the Republican side, you can only lose in a
primary, you're gonna play to the far right of your
party, and only 10 percent of the people vote in a primary.
So as a result you have, there's 400 of the 435
members of the House of Representatives playing
to their far right or far left sides and instead of
trying to come to the middle,
and I give the example all the time of Eric Cantor.
Eric Cantor was like the number three person
in the Republican House of Representatives,
and he said let's do immigration reform.
It's time to do immigration reform.
We should really figure this out.
And he got a primary from the far right and he lost.
He's one of the most powerful Republicans in
the country and he lost a primary.
So that scared everybody away,
and everybody sees that nobody's participating
in these primaries except for people at the,
at the far edges of the periphery.
HEFFNER: And I urge our viewers to go to
TheOpenMind.com, check out our programs with
John Opdycke of Open Primaries.
We've been focusing on this for three and a half,
going on four years, SUOZZI: Right.
HEFFNER: And folks who viewed our program
probably think we sound like a broken record
insofar as here is the crisis, where are the solutions?
Are the folks who were represented in that
45 person contingent, are they more nimble,
more flexible, more pliable,
more comfortable to compromise and why are
they more comfortable to compromise?
SUOZZI: They're, I think because they're basically
good people it starts with,
that they want to do the right thing.
They want to solve problems and they're
willing to show the courage and take the heat
that they'll get from their own party as well
as the opposition. You know, everybody, you know,
they say, you know, what happens when
you're in the middle of the road. You get run over.
So you have to be, it takes guts,
HEFFNER: Right.
SUOZZI: To do this stuff.
So for me, you know, I'm trying to do this
and I've got my friends in the progressive left
of the Democratic Party saying you're crazy.
Why are you talking to these guys?
They're no good, they're bums. Don't even talk to them.
Well at the same time, the Republicans are saying
Suozzi's a Democrat, let's bury this guy.
So you know, you get both sides coming at you
for daring to talk about this, so it's,
it's challenging from that perspective.
The, so these people have guts to do it in the first place.
They're all, most of them I should say,
are more in these seats that could go either way,
you know, that their, their constituency is
demanding that they try and solve problems,
and it's smart politically to try and serve their,
their constituency.
That's why gerrymandering is such a major problem
in our country. I'm one of, of 37 members of,
or 38 members of the House of Representatives
that has signed a, an amicus brief to the Supreme Court
that, on October 3rd is arguing that there can
no longer be partisan gerrymandering.
Because that would ... that would,
if we didn't have partisan gerrymandering in America,
it would completely change this whole dynamic,
and it would force people to be more willing to
compromise and, and try and find solutions
somewhere in the middle.
HEFFNER: I was thinking when you made that
comment, you made me laugh about the wrestling
analogy in being in the middle of the road
and the plight of the centrist, or center-left, center-right.
I was thinking about the photo that hangs
in the hallway as you enter the studio.
I mentioned this to Secretary Grimes who was
with us recently, of a program we did with
Senator Sanders, the content of which,
you know, this is pre-campaign,
would be wholly relevant to any discussion today
about genuine economic concerns of folks,
and while you can disagree on prescriptions,
you know, thus far when it comes to healthcare,
when it comes to tax reform or infrastructure,
those three issues on which this President
wanted to take command, there's been a missing in action.
SUOZZI: I was invited with a group of uh,
15 members of Congress to meet with the President
and some of his senior staff.
Some Problem Solvers, some Blue Dog Democrats,
some Republicans from Problem Solvers,
uh, some other folks, you know,
that are not affiliated with either, either of those groups.
And it's, the sense I got was that the President
wants to try and do ... you know,
I don't agree with the President on a lot of
things, I want to make that very clear from the
get-go, but the President wants to try and negotiate
agreements to get things done,
and he's got some talented people on his senior staff
that are around him, that I think want to do the
same thing, but I don't think he appreciates the
complexity of politics and governing and legislation.
And I'm concerned that there are people on his
team that are stuck in one extreme of the Republican
Party that are trying to just drive their agenda
and they're controlling the legislative process.
So the president wants to disrupt things,
you know, that's, that's what we've seen.
HEFFNER: So representing our district,
right, natives of, of Jericho, Glen Cove,
SUOZZI: Yeah.
HEFFNER: What are tangible results that you would
hope, national infrastructure for
instance, we were victims together of Sandy.
We understand that viscerally.
What are examples of constructive approaches
that could be federal legislation that helps
people in New York and around the country?
SUOZZI: Well we started out in the Problem Solvers
saying we're gonna do, discuss infrastructure
and tax reform and try and find compromise there,
and we ended up shifting gears and went to
healthcare when we saw the whole thing fall apart,
and we found a compromise that said the main thing
we need to do, and this was really the Democrats
driving this with some Republicans,
we have to stabilize the individual market.
There are 330 million people in America.
160 million people get their health insurance
from their employers.
70 million get their insurance from Medicare.
50 million get their insurance from Medicaid.
About 25 or 30 million people remain uninsured,
and there's about 21 million,
22 million people in the individual market.
The individual market is where everything's blowing up.
The premiums go through the roof,
the insurers are pulling out of the marketplace.
This is where all the angst,
most of the angst is coming from as far
as the instability in the marketplace.
So we said as a group, Democrats and Republicans
agreed on this, we need to as a priority stabilize
the individual market through certifying that
there's definitely gonna be cost-sharing
reductions, that this is gonna be under the Congress,
and this would actually help reduce premiums in those areas.
As a compromise, the Republicans said well
we'll agree with this but we want to get rid of the
medical device tax and we want to change the
employer mandate from 50 employees to 500 employees.
Well we talked to the people that wrote the
Affordable Care Act in the first place
and they said you know what?
Employers will continue to give the insurance anyway
'cause you have to in America today,
you have to give this insurance if you want to
remain competitive in the marketplace.
Very few people got insurance because of the
employer mandate, so we gave, we gave on that.
Uh, but this was a compromise.
We started to see movement in the Senate,
for them to agree with what we're doing,
Lamar Alexander and, and Patty Murray started
talking about bipartisan compromises,
especially on the stabilizing of the
individual market, but it's being derailed by the
efforts right now, by Cassidy and the group.
HEFFNER: Let's take infrastructure and tax reform.
Where could we find those areas of common ground?
SUOZZI: I think there's no question
that infrastructure, if the President had decided to
make that his number one agenda item,
this is something Chuck Schumer said from day one,
he could make a deal with the Republicans,
with the, and the Democrats...
HEFFNER: He'd have 60 percent approval right now.
SUOZZI: Right away, right away,
and, and it's, people are dying for this in America.
We have to recognize the President resonated
with a big swath of Americans because he spoke to people
that have been left behind by globalization and technology.
People that are just not making it in America
today, they're, as I said before,
there's 330 million people in America.
There's only 105 million full-time jobs,
which makes sense when you take out the seniors,
you take out the young people,
you take out the stay at home parents,
you take out the part-time workers,
you take out the unemployed and disabled,
there's a 105 million full-time jobs.
Of those 105 million full-time jobs,
59 million people make less than
50 thousand dollars a year. 86 million, out of 105 million,
86 million make less than 75 thousand dollars a year.
No wonder everybody's, thinks that we're elites
in New York or in California or in
Washington D.C. that are out of touch.
There's this whole swath of Americans that
are not making enough money to make it in America anymore.
HEFFNER: That's why Sanders resonated.
SUOZZI: Infrastru... right, that's why San...
and why Trump resonated as well.
HEFFNER: Right, they both resonated for that reason.
SUOZZI: They both resonated.
HEFFNER: I'm sorry.
SUOZZI: So infrastructure,
HEFFNER: Right.
SUOZZI: Is an opportunity not only to fix our
decaying infrastructure in this country from sewers
and roads and bridges and tunnels and airports and
ports but it's an opportunity to create
economic growth and jobs that pay enough money
that people can afford to make enough money, and that...
HEFFNER: How can you and the congressman
from Oklahoma you mentioned and the...
SUOZZI: Well he's not in the Problem Solvers.
The guy from Oklahoma is not going to help
with the Problem Solvers.
He's out there. [LAUGHS]
HEFFNER: [LAUGHS] Well it's important to be
candid in, in that respect.
SUOZZI: Yeah.
HEFFNER: The folks who can commit to solutions,
how can you guys collectively, guys and gals, congressmen,
congresswomen, from Vermont,
and Senator Sanders from Vermont,
address the economic abandonment that crosses
all boundaries and borders.
SUOZZI: That's the key to success for our country.
The Democrats came out with a message in the
beginning of August and said listen,
we're gonna, we're gonna start a new message
and a new platform. We're gonna talk about a better deal,
better jobs, better wages, a better future.
And people are like well, that's what we should be doing.
That's what the Democrats should be talking about.
We've lost that central message of what we need
to be focused on, and we saw throughout the whole
summer, everybody was pulled away from that
message because of the crazy events in
Charlottesville and the President's response to it.
HEFFNER: Right, that's true. I would submit to you that we,
you know, we associate with the Square Deal or
the New Deal, our Roosevelt,
SUOZZI: Yeah.
HEFFNER: Lions of New York,
my objection to this, to the notion of better
is that it was not sufficiently rooted
in our history, in the part, you know in the Democratic
Party's history and what I allude to now as American
history, and maybe you and Secretary Grimes and
Senator Schumer and company can embellish on that.
SUOZZI: We've got to embellish on that, it's got, this is..
HEFFNER: Too generic.
SUOZZI: Everything's a process. You know, you have to build,
I wro... I wrote an op-ed piece where I talked
about how my goal is we need to create five million new
80,000 dollar jobs in America. I told you before 86 million,
HEFFNER: Right.
SUOZZI: Out of 105 million full-time jobs make
75 thousand dollars or less. So I set the 80 thousand as,
as the goal and 5 million as a reasonable number.
And everything we do, you want to do infrastructure,
your President wants to do tax reform,
you know, corporate tax reform?
You want to do, you want to do,
changes in, in protections and regulations that affect our lives?
What are you gonna do to create 5 million 80,000
dollar jobs in this country?
Right now there are 6 million jobs in America
that are unfilled because we don't have
sufficiently trained people.
You and I and everybody else in politics and
public policy has been pushing college college,
college for 20 years, and we should continue
to do that, STEMs. Science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics. The more you learn, the more you earn.
But 60 percent of Americans don't go to
college, and we have poo-pooed the idea of
people going to trade schools and apprenticeship
programs and going to, in New York State, BOCES.
We need to start pushing skilled positions again
for people to become electricians and plumbers
and carpenters and welders. I had three welders in my office,
I'm sorry for going on about this,
but I had three welders in my office.
One guy was 22, one was 29,
and the other was 32 years old,
and I asked them why did you become welders.
And they were almost sheepish about it,
they were guilty almost, they were like well,
I didn't do well in school and my father was mad
at me, and my, my grandfather said he knew somebody
and you know, I became a welder. I said well how's it going?
He says oh, I said well how much money did you make last year?
The 22-year-old made $99,000 dollars.
The 29-year-old made $120,000 dollars,
and the 32 year-old made $140,000 dollars.
They get up early in the morning,
they drive an hour to go to work,
they take every job they can get.
But we don't have enough welders in America.
And we need to figure out how to start getting back
to this basic message that people have been
left behind by technology and globalization.
We don't want to change our standards of
protecting people with worker safety.
We don't want to change our environmental protections.
And we want to make people have better lives with
insurance and with pensions,
and we want people to have better wages.
But part of the path to getting there is
encouraging these type of skills in the global
marketplace for jobs that can be done right here at home.
HEFFNER: Well if anyone just listened to you,
Congressman, they would have heard authenticity
in your storytelling, in your message.
So as we were discussing off-camera,
I have a proposition.
When it comes to tax reform or infrastructure,
we need to enlist the media collectively to be
activist, not ideologically. Constructively.
And you know how Crossfire was disbanded, rightfully so,
SUOZZI: Yeah, yeah.
HEFFNER: Because, at a certain point,
it was just inane nonsense.
SUOZZI: Yeah, yelling at each other.
HEFFNER: Right, which you don't hear here on PBS stations.
We, we need, we need an amazing race to
legislative success.
Whether it is public television or commercial,
we need to see the sausage making up close and
personal, enlist a congressman,
a senator, officers at think tanks that might
have opposite objectives but together,
a day in the life, and do a series like that for days or weeks.
Not the fabricated or publicity stunt style
events where they are driven as gotcha
questions, but if we had that kind of leadership in
public media and in the fourth estate,
we would earn our integrity back as
journalists, to the extent that it's been voided,
and we would help engender or facilitate
the camaraderie in your caucus.
SUOZZI: I like that idea.
I like the idea, two parts of what you said.
One is almost like a reality TV show that you're talking about,
HEFFNER: Yeah.
SUOZZI: To follow a day in the life type of thing,
which people I think need to understand what
this life is like, you know, everybody hates politicians.
They're sick of politicians.
See, they're genuinely good people trying to do the right thing.
It's just they're being pulled apart by different structural factors.
That's, so one, the reality idea,
but something else you said that I think we
should add to it is this amazing race idea,
the idea of a competition. Who's got the better ideas,
who's gonna get the thing done,
who's gonna win the race to solve the problem to
make people's lives better? It should be a competition.
That's what democracy is supposed to be.
It's supposed to be a compet... it's like capitalism.
Capitalism only works when there's competition.
Democracy only works when there's competition.
I've got a better idea than you.
I've got a better way to pay for it than you do.
I can get it done more, quickly than you can.
I'll help more people than you. Let's compete,
HEFFNER: Right.
SUOZZI: In the battle of ideas,
HEFFNER: Absolutely.
SUOZZI: As to how to make people's lives better.
That's why our primary system is not working,
because there's not enough competition 'cause
it's a small little group of people.
We had more people in the process,
there'd be more competition and it would
force the politicians to be more accountable to the public.
HEFFNER: And after Senator McCain went like this
to the shock and astonishment of that polarization
complex, there, there would have been,
and there still is a peak interest,
and Senator McCain's one of the most courageous
political office holders in the history of this country.
He has nothing left to lose.
SUOZZI: That's for sure.
HEFFNER: Get him in a room,
I don't know, with Pat Leahy or pragmatic, thoughtful,
SUOZZI: I'm in, sign me up.
HEFFNER: And a congressional version
of that, but it needs leverage in order to
compete in this Twitter clickbait culture.
SUOZZI: It's got to be, it's got to be interesting.
HEFFNER: But it can be sexy.
SUOZZI: It's got to be, well it is. It's very interest, it's an interest,
I love my job. I love my job, it's a hard job,
I don't like being away from my,
my wife and son who's at home,
we have two other kids away,
uh, I don't like that part. It's long hours.
It's a lot of ups and downs along the way, but I love it.
And I think that if people really knew what was
going on, they'd love it too. Public policy, public debate,
public life is something for everybody.
A good thing that's happening in America
today is that more people are paying attention now than
ever before. I first ran for office in 1991.
I lost my first race for mayor of Glen Cove in 1991.
I was 29 years old.
I have never seen the engagement that I see right now.
Some people, 'cause they like Trump,
some people 'cause they're terrified of the President.
But regardless, people are engaged and when people
are engaged, the system will ultimately work.
We just need more people engaged in the process.
Your idea may be a good way to do that.
HEFFNER: The, and we need the right kind of civic
engagement that is pulling people together,
as much as feasibly possible.
You've described the systemic problems that
have exacerbated the disconnect.
How can voters in and constituents across this
nation, beyond what are understood as the
traditional apparatus of town hall meetings,
writing your congressperson, how can they,
SUOZZI: They gotta ...
HEFFNER: Collectively,
SUOZZI: They've got to sign up, they've got to get involved.
Sign up and volunteer on a campaign.
See what it's like for real.
You know, run for office yourself.
Get engaged in the process.
It can be a very fulfilling... I don't have
time 'cause I'm busy with my,
my family, I'm busy with my job,
I'm busy with all the things coming at me
from the media, the whole thing stinks and people have to
recognize, there are people in this country
that benefit from the status quo. They like it.
They like the, the, the instability of what's
going on in this country right now.
They like that nothing gets done,
because they're benefiting from the status quo the way it is now.
They don't want it to change.
There are people that spend a lot of money to
encourage us not to like politics,
who don't want anything to get done.
HEFFNER: Isn't that why we're not gonna see
genuine tax reform, because the system is
incentivizing the wrong kind of economic policy now?
SUOZZI: This is the battle.
This is the battle of public life.
There are people that want it to stay the way it is
now 'cause they like it the way it is now,
and there are people that want to get something done
to change and make everybody's life better.
That's the battle, that's the fight, that's why politics matters.
HEFFNER: On those two issues,
we come back to them, infrastructure and tax
reform, where is potentially the light
of compromise, public, private partnerships?
We talk about them often in the context of infrastructure.
We've discussed an infrastructure bank where
private companies can assist in facilitating public projects.
Where has there been any compromise so far on this issue?
SUOZZI: The, it hasn't been there yet, at all.
The President would be smart to tie the two
together, tax reform and infrastructure. Republican...
HEFFNER: How, how can you do that?
SUOZZI: Just to make it as part of the negotiation
as it's going forward.
And what the President needs to recognize is
there's got to be public investment in infrastructure.
He's pushing private private private.
There's got to be public investment in
infrastructure for it to actually work.
It can be public-private as well,
but there has to be a big part of public
in the public-private part that goes on.
HEFFNER: And tax reform, what would you like
to see accomplished?
SUOZZI: Tax reform, you know,
I'm, even President Obama talked about corporate tax reform.
In America, we want our, our workers to make good wages.
We want them to have health insurance,
we want them to have, pensions.
We want them to have safety.
We want them to have environmental protections,
and we're competing in a world where people don't
have any of that stuff.
We're in a global marketplace where they
don't have bad wages and they don't have worker
safety and they don't have environmental controls.
So when we're competing, we are at a competitive disadvantage.
We don't want to have a race to the bottom to
become more like these other countries that
don't have these worker protections,
that don't have environmental protections,
that don't have good wages for their employees.
We want them to be more like us,
we don't want to be more like them,
so that's what this whole trade fight is about, or part of it is.
So where's our competitive advantage?
Well we, have from sea to shining sea,
we have our natural resources.
We have the rule of law better than most places in the world.
People want to do business here 'cause you can,
can count on the rule of law if somebody breaks the
rules, they're gonna get in trouble.
But we have to have more skilled workers in order
to compete in the global marketplace as a
competitive advantage, and we have to look at
corporate tax reform because our corporate
taxes are much too high when compared to the rest
of the world.
HEFFNER: What must we demand from our companies,
SUOZZI: The companies have to create jobs
in the process.
It can't be that there's corporate tax reform so
you can give more dividends or more stock
buy-backs or so you can give more executive pay.
You've got to create jobs.
We need 5 million $80,000 dollar jobs in America.
HEFFNER: That's, that's the criteria.
SUOZZI: So we need to figure out how can
corporate tax reform result in job creation
at decent wages that make life in America better? Otherwise...
HEFFNER: And the system as it is now.
SUOZZI: 'Cause the corporations are doing fine.
They're doing fine.
HEFFNER: Yes.
SUOZZI: They got all, got those loopholes and all
this, they, they don't need more,
more help for the corporations.
We need more help to get them to locate in the
United States of America where it will create jobs
that pay sufficient wages so people can live
the American dream.
We don't need anything to help the wealthy. We...
HEFFNER: Well, it would make sense to have
a combination of reducing or eliminating all those
loopholes and reducing the corporate tax rate.
If you do those things simultaneously...
SUOZZI: Gotta do 'em together, right.
HEFFNER: Congressman, a pleasure.
SUOZZI: Thank you, Alexander. Thank you so much.
HEFFNER: And thanks to you in the audience.
I hope you join us again next time for a thoughtful,
constructive excursion into the world of ideas.

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography – Motivational Video – Zero To Hero #3 - Duration: 5:08.
Often considered one of the best players in the world Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro
was born in a poor family in Funchal, Portugal.
Overcoming hardship and tough financial situation in his early life Cristiano Ronaldo is now
the world's highest paid athlete according to Forbes.
He has won the FIFA Player of The Year and has received the Ballon d'Or 4 times in his
carrier till now.
Scorer of more than 600 goals for club and country Cristiano Ronaldo had many ups and
downs in his life but one thing which has remained constant throughout in his life,
is his passion to play football.
"Without football, my life is worth nothing."
Cristiano Ronaldo belongs from one of the poorest area in Portugal.
His father was gardener and a part-time kit man.
It was through his father's work he was introduced to football.
To help get some money for the family his mother used to work as a cook and cleaner.
By the time he was 10 years old he was already famous for his skills in the game.
His godfather, Freno Sousa said "All he wanted to do as a boy was play football".
He also said that "He loved the game so much that he'd miss meals or escape out of his
bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework."
At the age of fourteen Ronaldo left his Schooling to completely focus on his Football.
Ronaldo showed us that we should always do what we like to do.
Rather than force ourselves to follow the path that has been set for us, we can create
our own path and achieve great heights.
The path will not be easy and we have to face great difficulties but at the end the rewards
will be equally satisfying.
So, Smart lesson 1: Do what you feel passionate about.
It is easier to give up than to stay focused and achieve our goal - As CR7 once said, "It's
all about trying to be the best.
I will keep working hard to achieve it, but it is within my capabilities"
As a child Ronaldo played for their local team Andorhina for three years and then he
played for his National team for two years.
When he was 12, Sporting CP which is a big club in Portugal signed him for a fee of 1,500
pounds.
His carrier was moving up nicely when suddenly at the age of 15, he was diagnosed with a
disease called Racing Heart.
Racing Heart is a heart problem where the heart beat is more than that of a normal person
even while resting.
The doctors said that he should not play anymore because this is a serious problem among sportsmen
and many footballers had already died before due to this problem.
But Ronaldo did not give up and decided to undergo an operation so that he can continue
to play football.
At the age of 15 Ronaldo successfully completed his operation and even returned to training
within a few days.
This is the sign of a true player.
He has set an example for the young boys who might have a similar condition and are football
lovers.
If he had not shown strength at that young age it might have been the end of his football
career.
It is rightly said that where there is a will, there is a way.
Ronaldo worked hard and impressed everyone with his skills.
At the age of 16 he made his debut in the First team of Sporting CP and caught everyone's
attention.
At the age of 17 Manchester United signed him for 15 million euros which was the highest
paid transfer amount at that time for a teenager.
Ronaldo reached new heights in Manchester and won numerous awards and titles including
PFA Player of the Year Award, European Player of the Year, and FIFA World Player of the
Year.
In 2009, he broke another record by becoming the World's most expensive football player,
after transferring from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a �80 million pounds transfer.
So, Smart lesson 2: Never give up
Even with all the success and money, Cristiano Ronaldo never backed out from helping those
who are in need.
Once Ronaldo told a British newspaper, �My father always taught me that when you help
other people, then God will give you double, And that's what has really happened to me.
When I have helped other people who are in need, God has helped me with more.
Once Ronaldo received a request, for a donation of football boots and t-shirts to help raise
83,000 dollars for a 10-month-old in need of an operation.
Ronaldo not only donated the items, but also paid for the operation.
He also donated for different charities around the world and also is the Global Artist Ambassador
for Save The Children charity . During 2004 when he saw footage of a young Indonesian
tsunami victim wearing his No. 7 Portugal jersey.
Ronaldo immediately flew to Indonesia, to raise money to help the country rebuild.
So, Smart lesson 3: Always help others who are in needs
