Our defense ministry correspondent got a rare opportunity to hop onboard a fighter jet.
She went through the gruelling prepartations, then took flight in a state of the art machine.
Park Ji-won gets us better acquainted with the FA-50.
Anyone hoping to train in the air as a fighter pilot... has to start with physiological training
on the ground.
Every Korean fighter pilot goes through this training every three years.
One of the main things is the G-force test,... which trains pilots to endure extreme gravity.
Pilots need to be able to withstand up to 9 Gs,... or nine times gravity's normal strength.
Under G-forces that strong, if you haven't learned the special breathing methods,...
you'll pass out instantly... as gravity drains blood out of the brain, causing hypoxia.
There's also training for low air pressure, something pilots experience way up in the
sky.
The chamber simulates the conditions found at an altitude of 25-thousand feet, or nearly
eight thousand meters.
Without an oxygen mask, your oxygen levels will fall dangerously in less than three minutes.
You can go up in a fighter jet only once you've passed the training.
You'll still need a safety and mission briefing beforehand, though, and you have to put on
a G-suit, which helps with the extreme gravity.
I took a ride in South Korea's first supersonic combat fighter,... developed by Korea Aerospace
Industries in conjunction with the U.S. firm Lockheed Martin.
"This is the FA-50, and I've been given the chance to fly in it and experience all of
those specs myself."
I got in the back seat... and put on the helmet and oxygen mask.
The pilot flew us at an average speed of over eight hundred kilometers per hour,... but
its maximum speed is Mach one-point-five, or more than double that.
He did a series of training maneuvers... for surface attacks and air combat.
The pilot took us shooting straight up, dove the plane way down,... and careened into tight-angle
turns.... at an altitude as low as five-hundred feet and as high as forty thousand.
Air Force Major Jo Ji-soo,... a veteran fighter pilot with over two-thousand flight hours
over the past 15 years,... acknowledges the South Korean jet's excellent capabilities.
"It is a great honor to operate the first fighter aircraft developed using South Korean
technology.
The more flight hours I put in, the prouder I become as I experience more of the aircraft's
excellent performance."
South Korea has exported dozens of the most advanced variant of the T-50 family along
with other models,... making Korea only the world's 6th exporter of supersonic aircraft.
"Some 360 aircraft from the FA-50 family are in operation both in and outside of the country.
The models' consistently safe record has built confidence in South Korean fighter aircraft."
With these home-grown state-of-the-art fighter jets,...
South Korean pilots get training on an almost daily basis,... for an average of about 15
to 25 flight hours a month.

What Mark Cuban Would Do If He Were President | Inc. - Duration: 6:39.
let's say you got elected mayor I mean we're here in the inaugural theater for
mayor Emanuel or president okay whatever you're in a position to affect the
economy by the way if you all watch sharknado 3 I am the president well then
you've had some practice yes I have so you have the power to do anything that
would make the world safer easier for entrepreneurs you could increase capital
you could make you get rid of regulations what would you do deal with
income equality because it's creating a risk factor that hurts everybody if you
have to worry about whether or not there's going to be riots or instability
where your businesses are that's an unquantifiable risk I deal
with patents every companies getting sued for patents for the most ridiculous
dumb shit ever you know I mean I heard somebody say that in the 80s when Apple
had been in business more than 10 years they had one patent you know you know
back in the day people just competed if you look at you know Intel when there
were clones of Intel processors you know IBM clone Compaq or whatever you
couldn't do any of that today because of all the patent wars so I would change
that I would simplify the administrivia to start a business so there's just single forms so
you don't have to you know apply in every municipality or pay taxes in every
municipality so you know simplification be key but people talk about taxes as
being just just I mean there's no shortage of people wanting to start
businesses but there's a lot of things we could do are there things that
government does that get in the way of entrepreneurs you just mentioned one
rarely it rarely I mean people here because they're starting businesses you
can bitch about taxes too high you know rent too damn high whatever the case may
be it's not stopping anybody well they might do things the government people
who say that you don't see that and there are there are a lot of talking
halfway so we've got to get government out
all entrepreneurs right y'all consider did y'all think about tax rates before
you became an entrepreneur one time yeah guess I would draw my question well how
about access to capital that's a big problem it's been a problem for a lot of
people easy to raise money we just talked about there being people get that
let me rephrase what I said earlier somebody is writing a check to some kids
or adult kids seventy year old kids right with an idea not even a product
yet who isn't even really in business yet valued their business at eight
million dollars and they gave them money knowing that they should immediately
mark it down to zero there's no shortage of capital you know now part of the
problem is he going back to government that if you've got new you've got no
place else to put it to make money that creates issues right I'm happy to pick
on my buddies at the SEC the idiots over there you know because of what they've
done every time they screw up they don't
catch Madoff they don't catch Enron that you know there's an overreaction and
there's too many laws too many regulations so as a result we've seen
the number of public companies drop in half over the last fifteen years right
we've seen there's only been what four IPOs this so far this year just think
about that right it is literally crazy all those people working for private
companies that you know 15 20 years ago would have gone public with 25 30 40
million dollars in revenue that would have an opportunity to make more money
there would be investment opportunities that are liquid as opposed to throwing
your money away right those are gone because of the SCC right yet they wanted
like two people for insider trading put aside me right because I just
torched their ass but a guy sitting here this is what your SEC government dollars
are doing so there's a guy I think it was an Illinois railroad company he
would go to work and there were all these limousines that were pulling up
it's like what are these limousines don't were in the middle of nowhere it's
a real crook he figures out there's a good chance someone's trying to buy my
company so he buy stock options on the company
all we did SEC sued him for insider trading
the FCC's job is to make it as he knew something but not because he observes or
something exactly the FCC's job is supposed to be to make people trust the
stock market more this is CNBC well how many people here think the stock market
is safer today than it was 10 years ago and not a lot of hands right that's all
you need to know you know so people based off what the SEC is doing nobody
thinks the market is safer based off the number of IPOs it's not easier to raise
capital by a longshot right it's certainly not there's not
more confidence from the inside or out so they've failed at everything that
they're designed to do and that has had a huge huge impact on the economy every
one of these companies like 20 years ago when I was getting started I the end
game was hey we might be able to go public the number of IPO is priced at
under 80 million dollars raising capital under 80 mil has dropped like 80 percent
in 20 years now they're coming out with it reg a plus we'll see how that works
right but they've screwed it up even more because now that's going to be
crowd funded which means there's no liquidity they're just you know if you
get rid of the the enforcement side of the SEC I think the economy would boom
but but you know I'm happy to jump on them but the reality is we and maybe I
misanswered your earlier question we need to make it easier to go to the next
level of capital raising right it's not so much what the government is doing
it's with how the SEC is screwed it up because we don't have a natural
progression for all the entrepreneurs here 15 years ago 20 years ago there was
a natural progression right you didn't have to go out and keep on raising money
privately you knew that if you got to some level of profitability or you knew
that if you could create awareness and had a decent company you could go public
raise 25 million dollars and that creates incremental capital available to
you and it also allows your employees to benefit it creates more awareness for
your company there's just so many good things that can happen but now know
there's just so many rules regulations and problems with it now we've taken
that whole segment of opportunity and the SEC has kicked it to the curb

Lionel Messi: Inter Milan transfer claim made by former Barcelona star - Duration: 2:52.
Juventus bolstered their squad in the summer, announcing the shock signing of Real Madrid legend Ronaldo in a €100m (£88m) deal
Serie A's stature around the world grew overnight after the transfer, sparking speculation more high profile names would decide to join the Portuguese star in Italy's top flight
Messi, however, looks set to finish his career with Barcelona in the coming years
But Saviola claims his fellow countryman could one day move to Inter, due to the unpredictability of football
"Leo I see him very identified in Barca," he told FCInterNews. "It is difficult to imagine it or to see it with another camiseta [shirt]
"Then again everything can happen in the world of football. "This is why Inter fans must not lose hope, even if I repeat it will be very difficult to see the Flea wearing a jacket different from that of the Catalans
" Both Ronaldo and Messi missed out on the FIFA Best Player award in London last week, as Luka Modric picked up the accolade
But Saviola feels the duo are still at the top of the game, with Messi just edging the battle in his eyes
"Personally, I prefer Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo because the way he plays is the way I believe football should be played," he told the Hinustan Times
"There is no doubt that Cristiano is a fantastic player but how Messi has played in the last few years show why he is the best in the world
"(Kylian) Mbappe is also a great talent who has proved his mettle on the grand stage
"But, I think it will be really difficult for the new stars to surpass Messi and Cristiano right now
" Ronaldo has so far struggled to find his feet in front of goal in Italy. The 33-year-old has performed well but only netted three goals for his new club
Messi, meanwhile, has scored five times for Barcelona in La Liga this season. But the Catalan outfit have struggled of late, failing to win their last three league games

GZERO World S2E10: Satire In A World on Edge - Duration: 25:44.
How is it to be a
comedian in these
political times.
- Well, I think there's
There's a mistake - a sort of misunderstanding about it
right now. Because people will come up to me on the street and they'll say to me, "Oh my god -
you must be having the greatest time in the world and Trump is the gift that just keeps on giving" and
that actually is not the case
It's not it's a little bit counterintuitive because people think we've got this kind of crazy guy in the White House
And so that lends itself very well to comedy
Actually comedy works really well when we have a reality that's grounded. Then we can kind of make fun of and make more absurd and
Traditionally when I've written the Borowitz report, I was dealing with people who were sort of
Well at least in in shouting distance of normal
At the moment there's a lot of tension between the United States and many of its traditional allies
Immigration other issues leave the European Union far from United but China and Russia seem to be enjoying ever warmer relations
Does the West face a dangerous new alliance in the East?
I'm Ian Bremmer in downtown Manhattan and welcome to GZERO World.
On this week's show we'll discuss that Russia-China issue.
Also the current state of satire with best-selling author, comedian, and New Yorker contributor Andy Borowitz. And on PUPPET REGIME,
things get a little bleeping. Public television loves it when I say that.
But first, a word from the folks who help us keep the lights on.
Let's talk about Russia and China.
A few weeks ago
These two countries made headlines with joint military exercises - big ones.
Imagine 300,000 Russian soldiers; 36,000 tanks; and
1,000 planes backed up by troops tanks and jets from China's People's Liberation Army
playing war games in Siberia where there's a lot of space for that sort of thing.
It was the largest military exercise anywhere in the world since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
That definitely got attention in Washington. In fact, for America, this is a kind of recurring nightmare.
What if Russia and China became real allies?
Political, economic, and military allies? That might trigger a brand new Cold War
So, is that what's happening?
Russia and China both have a beef with the United States to be sure.
The Trump administration
Has slapped sanctions on Russia as well as tariffs on more than 200 billion in
Chinese exports. Also both countries want to stop the United States from playing global policeman
patrolling their neighborhoods and backyards and criticizing the way their governments behave
To push back against the US military presence near their borders
Russia and China work together with a few smaller countries in an organization called the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
It's not NATO but it's not nothing.
Russia and China are also natural partners when it comes to energy.
Russia is one of the world's leading exporters of oil and natural gas.
China consumes vast amounts of oil and natural gas. Buyer and seller fit well together.
Are Americans and Europeans now facing a Russia-China alliance? Not quite.
Look closer and you'll see that in coming years Russia and China will compete as much as they cooperate.
They'll compete for influence in Central Asia. That's the region that lies between them.
For China they're building a new Silk Road there the trade route that will connect China to Europe with enormous volumes of trade and cash
flowing in both directions. For Russia, these are former Soviet republics -
Outposts of the Russian Empire. These are political, economic, and military
allies that Russia intends to keep. Now look again at oil and gas.
Yes, China wants to buy Russian energy, but China wants a low price. Russia, the seller, they want a high price.
China can find all sorts of other energy suppliers. Lots in the Middle East.
That means China can drive a much harder bargain on price.
More importantly Russia's foreign policy is revisionist. They want to restore their influence in neighboring countries
establishing a deeper presence in the Middle East and if possible
destabilizing the politics of the United States and the European Union
Chinese leaders by contrast want a stable, predictable
international environment because that's how China continues to grow its economy.
Then there's the larger economic mismatch
China's economy is almost 8 times larger than Russia
China is a giant. Russia's economy is smaller than Canada's. Canada's!
Canada! This is no partnership
of equals and both sides know it. To put it simply: China doesn't need Russia the way Russia needs China.
China's future and security and prosperity
depends far more on the strength of its economy than the strength of its military
The United States is by far China's top trade partner - even with the ongoing trade conflicts. Japan is number 2
Germany's number 5. Russia is China's 11th largest trade partner.
China actually sends more exports to the Netherlands than to Russia.
So China might be willing to join war games in Siberia
and I'm sure they'll continue to cooperate when it comes to pushing back against American power, but
China's future depends far more on good relations with the United States and Europe than with Russia. For the foreseeable future
that's not going to change.
This week I sit down with Andy Borowitz.
He's a New York Times bestselling author and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker magazine since 1998.
He's pretty old. His satirical column, "The Borowitz Report" is read by millions of readers
around the world today. I'll ask him about satire in the age of strongmen,
censorship, and threats to the right to ridicule. Something we certainly care about here on GZERO World. Let's get to it
Andrew Borowitz, lovely to be with you.
Lovely to be with you. You know, no one really calls me Andrew.
I think my mom used to call me that, but you can call me Andy.
I do call you Andy.
I personally call you Andy. I've been known to do that.
So how is it to be a comedian in these
political times.
Well, I think there's
There's a mistake, sort of misunderstanding about it right now.
Because people will come up to me on the street and they'll say to me, "Oh my god
you must be having the greatest time in the world and Trump is the gift that just keeps on giving" and
that actually is not the case.
It's not it's a little bit counterintuitive because people think we've got this kind of crazy guy in the White House
and so that lends itself very well to comedy
Actually comedy works really well when we have a reality that's grounded. Then we can kind of make fun of and make more absurd and
Traditionally when I've written the Borowitz report, I was dealing with people who were sort of
Well at least in in shouting distance of normal.
I mean people like George W Bush who
comported himself like a normal human being. I mean, he was, in my opinion, a terrible president
but he sort of comported himself like a normal human being. Donald Rumsfeld. These are people that you could then
sort of exaggerate
satirize in a way that would show their
ridiculousness that was just sort of under the surface, but Donald Trump
presents as a clown and he presents as an unstable person, as a surreal and absurd person.
He's also doing sort of this performance art
He's playing some role of Donald Trump, which only he understands and maybe even he doesn't understand it.
So that becomes actually very difficult because you can't really take his reality which is
surreal and make it more absurd. It's already absurd and so he defies satire.
Now you mentioned Bush, Rumsfeld, Trump. You kind of left open Obama. Was that intentional or?
Well, no. You know I was thinking about that because
probably the most legendary political satirist in American literature was Will Rogers and Will Rogers said
there's no trick to being a satirist when you have the whole government working for you and
So there's really no era where
the government or the people in power aren't producing material that people like me can then latch on to and make fun of.
The Obama era was
interesting because Obama first of all was a funny guy. He had funny people writing for him. He would do jokes on himself.
He was very funny whenever he had to do the White House Correspondents Dinner
And he was so kind of intent on being dignified and controlled.
It made him very tricky as a target
but he infuriated so many people in the other party around him and
created so much sort of anger and hysteria and
derangements that there was plenty to write about still so like all the the multiple
completely pointless repeals of Obama care became a thing and
you know the constant demands for his birth certificate.
Of course, coming from Donald Trump, one of the perpetrators of that
became a thing. So though he wasn't that easy to write about or that much fun to write about the Obama year has actually provided a lot of comedy
So the Obama, the derangement of
people that really disliked Obama was part of what made it easier.
Yeah, I mean I will also say that as a writer,
I yearned for the days when Obama really screwed something up badly because he was usually so controlled that even when he made a mistake
he made it in kind of a dignified way, and he wasn't like flailing about it.
You did you did point out. You said Obama not very funny
But on the other hand, and hard to make fun of ,except occasionally when he gives you an opening
but you had a lot of people on the other side that were deranged by Obama in reaction to Obama and that was
a ripe tableau to go after. Now, clearly the number of people that have been deranged by Trump
on the other side is even larger, right? How much of an active target is that for you?
Well, it's interesting. I mean I
I guess I sort of have it both ways in that I'm constantly making fun of the thirst for his conviction
I mean I'm constantly making fun of
You know people sort of looking to Robert Mueller as as the savior of humanity
and I do make fun of that, but it sort of works on two levels because I will make fun of I mean
For example, I will make fun of the former hippies who now love the FBI. I mean that was a target of mine and
the weird response to I get to that from former hippies is they're like, "Damn right!"
That's exactly
so I haven't really
They don't really see the irony.
So like a lot of what I'm doing is making fun what I would
call liberal fantasies and the problem is
You know, this is one of the problems with satire in general
people think. And Malcolm Gladwell actually did an interesting
podcast about satire where he he kind of said that satire is a failure as a as a principle. As a premise
it's a failure because if you're trying to change people's minds with this kind of comedy you usually wind up just
reinforcing their confirmation bias, I guess where I come out on that is that I don't necessarily think
a satirist sits down unless they're delusional
But a satirist sits down and says, "boy when this this piece, this
250-word piece comes out. I'm really gonna change a lot of minds."
I never feel like I'm gonna change anyone's mind.
I feel that I've expressed myself and
I've made a point but I never think, I think people when people always say, oh the pen is mightier than the sword
Actually swords often are mightier than pens, I should point out.
I don't always think that. I think when people say the comedy is this incredibly powerful weapon
I think the effects of comedy can be very incremental and I think they can that comedy and comedians can change
the atmosphere around an issue, but I don't necessarily think that
satire is this incredible weapon that just rocks the world because I just don't think it does
So, I mean the sword has proven mightier than the pen for a number of satirists around the world
We have more journalists now languishing in prison globally
than at any point in recent times. In Egypt, the Jon Stewart of Egypt taken off the air, and
with criminal charges,
How do you think
journalists in your position in other parts of the world are doing
to respond to these times?
I think journalists in general, but certainly more elsewhere
are under a lot of threat and I say that totally seriously. I think and really Ian, it's a bigger issue than just comedians.
I mean comedians really haven't borne the brunt the brunt of it the way say investigative journalists have who are being imprisoned,
who are being attacked, you know.
In our country we've had
newspaper newsrooms who've been singled out by you know gun-toting maniacs and so
it's, you know, we we do also have an environment our country where you know
the President of the United States is saying that people like me and
people like you by virtue of the fact that you're
working as a journalist in this program - that we are the enemy of the people and actually
our role was enshrined by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
So the people who wrote that by virtue of the fact that they put that amendment first
probably did not feel that we were the enemy of the people. I think Thomas Jefferson said that
something to the effect that
newspapers without government were preferable to government without newspapers.
But as you'll recall like right after 9/11 in the shock of that. It was so easy for so many Americans to
capitulate and give up
individual liberties out of fear
And it's very easy for a government to create that sense of fear
in order to achieve the goal getting people to relinquish their individual liberties. Some worried about it
but I also think we have to fight. I think we have to
support journalists, I think we have to support journalism
in the courts and financially and
you know, it is a slippery slope because one thing Donald Trump says quite a bit as of a running theme
for him, light motif, is he'll say, you know, really gonna look into the libel laws in this country.
So you look at a place like The Onion, you know, which in principle this, you know, sort of fake media organization
that's all about satire. But also is writing things that clearly people,
some people - believe to be true.
Right? - Right.
And you also have this whole dynamic of people putting out real news and then response being can you believe this
isn't The Onion.
There's an overlap there.
I mean, to what extent do you think that part of
what being a satirist is, what you're aiming for is to get something so on the nose
that there are people out there that believe it to be true.
Well, I think there are two things. I mean one is a question of what is your intention?
In my case, I can't speak for The Onion. I know people over there I've friends over at The Onion,
I can't speak for them. But I know in my case
The intention is never to create a hoax or to fool people
As a matter of fact, we label my stories very, very clearly.
The New Yorker was worried about this at this very issue and they said what can we put on your stories that will make
it clear that these are not the news and I said what have we say, "not the news" and they were like "nailed it!"
So now like I know that was clever it was
That was very clever.
It was witty.
But you know this whole issue of
things
satires seeming like
It's real and and so realistic that people are fooled by it
that may not be the intention, but I do think when that happens that shows that you've had an aesthetic success.
Because the goal of writing this stuff
is you're trying to
be as close to the original thing your parodying as possible.
Which means your style, the literary style of writing this stuff is really trying to hue very close to that whole
AP, New York Times
incredibly drab, understated style.
s So that you could be just, you know describing Armageddon, but you have to write it in this incredibly controlled Grey Lady style.
We're not trying, I don't delude myself into thinking that if I write some piece about Trump doing something insane
that then I'm suddenly swaying elections or something.
No, but you have had aesthetic success.
I'm thinking back on for example with the the Washington Post when Bezos bought it and
the Chinese state media actually believed your version.
My version. Well, my version.
I remember my editor at The New Yorker at the time called me and said
that
Bezos had just bought the Washington Post and could you do something about it? And
so my headline and the story indicated that Jeff Bezos
Said that he had only bought the Washington Post because he had clicked on it by mistake.
He had gone to the Washington Post website
it was a big I guess internet shopping error and it was wound up in his cart and
It was it wasn't until he got his American Express.
It's an Amazon thing.
Yeah, it was it was a play on Amazon
Yeah, and it did you know, it's funny when you talk about things we're talking bout satire and confirmation bias
It had two wildly different
reactions. In this country people got the joke and people are
always mad about getting stuff from Amazon that they didn't mean to buy so they got what I was making fun of and
did very well in this country, but it had this sort of ancillary market of about I don't know
tens of millions of readers in China who read this because it had been linked to by state media and
they must have just thought oh my god
this is why our economy is so much superior to the American economy because people like Jeff Bezos
are buying things by mistake and they're a bunch of clowns.
So like they're I think their confirmation bias
actually played a role in that.
They wanted to see us as buffoonish in our business dealings and that seemed to. This is my theory.
Of course, they were the the hippies that now support the FBI.
Yeah, exactly.
I always come back to it, I really can't control how people
I don't think in any art form, if I can use that pretentious term,
but I think it's anything the ending you put out that you really can't control the response.
You don't know how people are take it
Have you had, I mean, I would think one other I would think one other way of feeling great about a
successful piece of biting satire is when the target of your satire said yeah, that was funny, you got me
I appreciated that. Does that happen and does it happen often?
You know? I think I'm too low on the food chain
like I think that
people are always saying like, "so have you heard a lot from the White House?"
Like no one from the White House, I never hear from the White House. I think they're kind of more obsessed with people like obviously
Trump's obsessed with Alec Baldwin because Alec Baldwin is actually getting up on stage and
Impersonating him and so he will actually take time out of his day and tweet about how the guy making fun of him
on Saturday Night Live is a disaster and failing and all of that
I just think, first of all,
I don't think the Trump if I had to guess is a big reader of the New Yorker magazine.
But you want to be appreciated by your targets?
No, I have no interest in that.
None?
Not even a tiny bit?
No, no, I'm not
You know
I'm I think one of the things in is I spent the first chunk of my
adult career in Hollywood and I was a TV producer and I think that experience really
inoculated me from being that interested in famous people
I've got to say like I'm not, it's not that I'm not impressed by famous people or I think that they're worse than us
I just think as US Magazine
would say "they're just like us." They're not they're not that they're not that much more interesting or less interesting now
I mean, you've said that you consider this sort of an art form and
Wow I think I sort of regret that already.
- It's on tape. - So your art, how much of it do you want
it to be just something that people appreciate in the moment for its own sake? And how much of it are you thinking
There's a broader message that I'm trying to get across? There's purpose to what I'm doing
and I'm hoping this is part of effecting change.
Well leaving aside the whole art thing
Terms, might let's say guts use the word work. Okay that I'm about
Yeah, let's go for of in terms of in terms of like what I'm trying to achieve when I write something
I'm really trying to entertain first and foremost. I'm trying to entertain for that day for that moment because
by the nature of what I do. It's so ephemeral. I think all
creative work is pretty ephemeral like the there very few
novelists from 100 years ago that we're still reading when you consider how many people were writing novels then
So it's all, let's face it
I mean, I believe in you know, the sands of time and entropy and all of those in you know inexorable forces
So it's all ephemeral but what I do is super ephemeral because even I will go back two years and read a piece
I wrote and be like "what was I even writing about?"
What was the news peg of that because it's just so much of the moment. So my goal is really to
entertain for that moment. I think it's changed a little bit in the last
18 months, you know two years of this Trump era simply because I feel that we're living in a national emergency.
So to the extent that I can use my comedy to
activate people to get people who are maybe so depressed that they wouldn't think of say working for a candidate or raising money for a
candidate or working for the International Rescue Committee, which as you know is one of my favorite
organizations and I try to raise money for things that I believe in. I've gotten a little bit more of a sense of
you know trying to do something positive
to make our country and our world a little bit better, but that doesn't so much inform the writing
it's not like I don't sit down and say okay now I'm gonna make a grand statement here.
It's really because as I said before I just don't think that satire or and especially my satire. I don't think it has that
capacity
but I think I
tend to use
more
my role as a satirist of my role as somebody who has an audience I try to use that to do
Incremental good like raise little money for somebody or something.

Good to be with you.
Thanks, Ian.
And now to PUPPET REGIME, where we learn that most of geopolitics is people yelling four-letter words.
Hi folks. Now that GZERO World is on public television
that means bleeping out some of your favorite four letter words, but to make it fun
we're gonna let you guess what they are. First up a discussion between Donald Trump, Angela Merkel, and Vladimir Putin.
Look the fake news media, they always attack me whenever I say what I think about [BLEEP]
But maybe you shouldn't be so boorish when you talk about [BLEEP]
You know, you're not such a great example of [BLEEP] yourself, Angela
I don't like this type of locker room tALK.
Donald
Please please the last thing we need is for her to be more committed to [BLEEP].
Fantastic! Next round: we have French president Emmanuel Macron
Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg!
In France, one of the things we think most about is, uh, [BLEEP]
Look, I'll be honest with you. I'm always thinking about [BLEEP] too, even when I'm doing other stuff
It's like I can't get it off my mind
We knew that [BLEEP] would get Trump's attention.
You know Facebook is still a great place to find [BLEEP].
And now oh, look it's National Security Adviser, John Bolton!
I'm not sure who the [BLEEP] invited you here.
But can we just [BLEEP] destroy [BLEEP] already? [BLEEP] those [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP].
Here good thing these idiots have stopped talking so much about the ICBM
That's our show this week we'll be right back here next week same place same time
Don't miss it. In the meantime if you like what you've seen check us out at

If You're in an Emergency Situation, Use This - Duration: 5:14.
rev up your engines, welcome to mechanic Monday where I check out products and
when I find a good one, I make a video about it and at the end of the video I
give it away to one of the fans here, and today's product is in my trunk it's a
great little bag that has stuff you can use in case of an emergency, now the
first thing I noticed was it's got a nice canvas case it's not some cheap
piece of plastic that's gonna rip and tear apart
it's got regular zippers on it, velcro on the handle so you can carry it like in a
hotel if you got a small valise and it has velcro on the bottom too, so if you
stick it on a rug or something it'll stay in place and won't rattle around they had some
a pretty good thinking when they made this thing, let's unzip it and see what's
inside, okay first of all there's three electric safety flares, so if you get
stuck turn them on and they'll flash, lets see how it works at night, they have the
batteries already in them, all you gotta do is pull the little plastic piece out
and turn them on so people can see you at night if you're stuck somewhere and
here's the cool thing, there's nothing worse than a safety flare that's been
sitting for five years in your trunk when you need it it doesn't work, so as
you can see here there is a little Tang the battery isn't connected until you
pull this little Tang out, like a hand grenade, now the thing is going to work
but it wouldn't have worked before if it had been sitting there for years, now when
you push the button once for flashlight 2 for red and 3 for flashing red which
is best to warn people at night they know there's something's going on when
they see a flashing red light, you know it's going to work because the battery
hasn't been connected until you pull that off
so you don't pull off till you need it, so if you needed five six years so now
the things are gonna work and not be drained cuz the battery's been connected
now number two is jumper cables, you get stuck somewhere you can't jump your car
without jumper cables, a lot of people say, oh I'll help you out but I don't
have cables well you got the cables you can do it and they're decent cables
they're eight gauge and when you look inside they're not that cheap aluminum
crap, they're made out of copper and then if you're stranded in the dark it's got
a three LED flashlight including the batteries you can see at night it's a
decent flashlight and when I turn the flashlight on in my dark garage, you can
see it works pretty good it's got plenty of power it's got three LEDs on it good
for night use, and what else is in here, they call it a tow strap but I call it a
release strap, if bad things happen, you slide you get stuck somewhere you can't
get your car out, you can pull it out with another car now in a kit they
called it a towing strap but it's not really good enough for towing long
distances, this thing is for releasing and pulling you out of something you
can buy a better one if you're gonna tow but this is perfectly fine for pulling
you out of situations and here's how it works, you go under cars they all have some
kind of a towing strap, this one's pretty strong, get the strap you push it through
the hole and then feed it through this way, pull the whole thing up you got a
great connection, then you put the other one on the other car and pull it out
gradually, I've had times in the past when I was younger went off the road, I didn't
have one of these people would come by and say, oh well we can't help you
there's no way to pull it out, you got this you can get it out and of course if
you're stuck in the back, Hey they got them in the back both sides so you can
pull out wherever you're stuck from all vehicles have tow straps on them
somewhere, just learn on your vehicle where it is, so you'll know beforehand
where you gotta hook it up to pull it out and in case you get small cuts it's got
a first-aid kit, it's got band-aids, it's got alcohol pads, it's even got little
bitty towelettes that have antibacterial stuff in them, benzalkonium chloride
whatever that is obviously it's to get the bad stuff out of your cuffs and even
if you do do some minor messing around, say you're going to a party you don't
get your hands dirty, it comes with these nice cloth gloves they fit quite
well, their actually quite comfortable, and speaking of comfort, something bad happens
you or someone else gets in an accident and is really injured, it's got a nice little
blanket you can at least try to heat them up with a while and if you slide
off in the rain and it's pouring like mad hey it's even got a little rain poncho
you can wear, hey it can also come in handy if you're hiking or something and you
don't have anything, you can just take it out of the kit and wear it, now course there's a
million different safety kit you can buy, but after trying a bunch of them out
this just in case one, I bought it at an autozone it cost me 29 bucks and for
29 bucks you got a pretty good piece mind, and speaking of a piece of mind, I
added one thing to my safety case cuz there's plenty of room for other stuff
and here it is, things really go bad, well haha have a
stiff drink and since this is mechanic Monday, I'm giving her one of these just
encase safety devices away, to have a chance to win place a clean non
offensive comment on the YouTube comments below, and the winner will get to have safety
and peace of mind while they're driving, so if you never want to miss another one

Kavanaugh Accuser Getting Serious Cash from Allegations, Over $700k After Hearing - Duration: 3:04.
Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford has been making serious money off of crowdfunding
since Thursday's hearings, with nearly $700,000 from just two of 17 separate accounts on GoFundMe.
"During Christine Blasey Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, under
questioning about how she was paying security and legal costs, Ford said some of it could
be covered by GoFundMe accounts that have been started to help her," MarketWatchreported
Thursday.
"Her mention of the crowd-funding website caused the authenticated GoFundMe webpage
helping her to take off.
It jumped from about $179,000 to $305,000 and counting merely 30 minutes later, according
to the publicly displayed funds counter."
That authenticated campaign has now collected over $528,000 — enough that the family is
"officially turning off this campaign."
"A statement of gratitude from the family will be forthcoming in the next 48 hours with
a fuller explanation, but in the meantime, do keep your comments coming," a statement
on the page reads.
"I am sharing them with her."
On the fundraising site, the Ford family said the money was necessary to counter the "right
wing smear machine" and the "serious threats" it claims is directed at her.
"This is all really expensive and she needs our help.
We need to protect the voices of brave people who speak out – especially when they are
part of our community," the page reads.
"Christine is Palo Alto mom (sic), a beloved professor and mentor and friend.
This fundraiser is sponsored by her neighbors and colleagues.
She is truly grateful for your support!"
A second GoFundMe campaign, which has garnered over $200,000, was set up to "(c)over Dr.
Blasey's security costs."
Due to death threats, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (who uses 'Dr. Blasey' professionally)
and her family have had to leave their residence and arrange for private security," the page,
apparently created by a Georgetown professor, reads.
"Let's create a fund to cover her security expenses, to do just a bit to make it easier
for women in her position to come forward despite great risks.
If we raise more than Dr. Blasey needs, extra funds will go to women's organizations and/or
into an account to cover similar costs incurred in comparable situations.
"I do not know Dr. Blasey personally but will contact her via her former high school,
Holton Arms, to inform her of this fundraising appeal and to make arrangements to transfer
funds to Dr. Blasey."
How the aim of this account differs from that of the official account is a mystery to me,
but it's certainly taken in a fair amount of cash.
Of course, it's not as if Ford would not be needing money; since she came forward as
the writer of the once-mysterious letter, a number of Democrat-linked heavyweights have
entered her orbit.
According to the Daily Wire, however, Ford does not even know how to use the site.
"I am aware that there's been several GoFundMe sites," she said during her testimony.
"I have not had a chance to figure out how to manage those because I have never had one."

Natural disasters hit Indonesia and Japan, leaving hundreds dead - Duration: 1:39.
The death toll from last Friday's earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia has risen past 840.
Meanwhile, over in Japan, a powerful storm has killed at least two and injured more than
130.
Cho Sung-min has the updates.
The Indonesian authorities said Monday that the death toll from the magnitude 7-point-5
quake and a 3-meter high tsunami that occurred three days ago on Sulawesi island has climbed
to 844.
They said they have started burying the dead in mass graves... to prevent the spread of
disease.
A search continues for survivors believed to be buried under collapsed buildings.
The Indonesian Disaster Management Agency said around 2.4 million people were affected
by last week's disaster... including some 600 people who were taken to hospital.
Aid for the surviors are on the way from around the world... with the European Union having
offered 1-point-7 million dollars.
The Australian government has also reportedly to reached out to the Indonesian government
to offer help.
Meanwhile, a powerful typhoon swept over eastern Japan on Sunday, hitting the city of Osaka.
Sources there say two people are confirmed dead, two are missing and at least 130 were
injured.
NHK says the storm's maximum wind speed of 216 kilometres per hour is the strongest since
1991 when wind speed was first measured.
The storm caused major disruptions at airports and train stations on Monday.
More than 230 flights were cancelled at Kansai International Airport.

Korea's trade minister on Monday addressed some of the uncertainties regarding trade.
On the possible imposition of U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, as well as,
automobiles...
Kim Hyun-chong highlighted that the ministry is aiming to gain assurances from the U.S.
to exempt Korea from the measure.
He explained the ministry's closely monitoring U.S. negotiation process with Japan, Canada,
the European Union... as he sees their outcomes impacting the timing and severity of the tariff
measure.
Kim adds the ministry is to submit the revised KORUS FTA to the National Assembly by Tuesday
to initiate the ratification process.

South Korean government to provide 1 million dollars to quake-hit Indonesia - Duration: 1:54.
Seoul's government is planning to provide much needed financial aid to quake-hit Indonesia.
The foreign ministry announced there are several South Koreans reported missing in Palu.
For details let's turn to our Hong Yoo.
Buildings reduced to rubble and dead bodies lined up in the streets…
Rescue efforts are still underway in Palu, Indonesia after it was hit with a 7.5 magnitude
earthquake and the following tsunami last Friday.
To help with the recovery process, the South Korean government is providing 1 million dollars
to Indonesia as humanitarian assistance.
The assistance will help with urgent humanitarian needs and help the country recover from the
disaster.
And if more help is needed, the South Korean Foreign Ministry is also considering offering
to send emergency relief troops after consulting with the Indonesian government.
Many people are still trapped under rubble, hoping to be rescued.
Possibly among them is a South Korean man who was staying in this hotel in Palu... before
it collapsed.
When the earthquake hit Indonesia's Sulawesi Island, the mother of the missing South Korean
lost contact with her son.
Today, four days after the quake struck, she will visit the scene to look for him.
According to the South Korean embassy in Indonesia, the consular representative departed for Palu
at 7am local time, and the family, along with one employee from the embassy, at 10 am.
"I still don't have any idea of what I should do.
Whether I should go there and dig the ground or at least hand out water to the rescue team..."
The South Korean Foreign Ministry said there are seven more South Koreans reported as out
of touch since the disaster.
The consular representative sent to Palu is checking specific facts and trying to track
down those reported missing.

Reporter flies in South Korea's supersonic fighter aircraft FA-50 - Duration: 3:21.
Our defense ministry correspondent got a rare opportunity to hop onboard a fighter jet.
She went through the gruelling prepartations, then took flight in a state of the art machine.
Park Ji-won gets us better acquainted with the FA-50.
Anyone hoping to train in the air as a fighter pilot... has to start with physiological training
on the ground.
Every Korean fighter pilot goes through this training every three years.
One of the main things is the G-force test,... which trains pilots to endure extreme gravity.
Pilots need to be able to withstand up to 9 Gs,... or nine times gravity's normal strength.
Under G-forces that strong, if you haven't learned the special breathing methods,...
you'll pass out instantly... as gravity drains blood out of the brain, causing hypoxia.
There's also training for low air pressure, something pilots experience way up in the
sky.
The chamber simulates the conditions found at an altitude of 25-thousand feet, or nearly
eight thousand meters.
Without an oxygen mask, your oxygen levels will fall dangerously in less than three minutes.
You can go up in a fighter jet only once you've passed the training.
You'll still need a safety and mission briefing beforehand, though, and you have to put on
a G-suit, which helps with the extreme gravity.
I took a ride in South Korea's first supersonic combat fighter,... developed by Korea Aerospace
Industries in conjunction with the U.S. firm Lockheed Martin.
"This is the FA-50, and I've been given the chance to fly in it and experience all of
those specs myself."
I got in the back seat... and put on the helmet and oxygen mask.
The pilot flew us at an average speed of over eight hundred kilometers per hour,... but
its maximum speed is Mach one-point-five, or more than double that.
He did a series of training maneuvers... for surface attacks and air combat.
The pilot took us shooting straight up, dove the plane way down,... and careened into tight-angle
turns.... at an altitude as low as five-hundred feet and as high as forty thousand.
Air Force Major Jo Ji-soo,... a veteran fighter pilot with over two-thousand flight hours
over the past 15 years,... acknowledges the South Korean jet's excellent capabilities.
"It is a great honor to operate the first fighter aircraft developed using South Korean
technology.
The more flight hours I put in, the prouder I become as I experience more of the aircraft's
excellent performance."
South Korea has exported dozens of the most advanced variant of the T-50 family along
with other models,... making Korea only the world's 6th exporter of supersonic aircraft.
"Some 360 aircraft from the FA-50 family are in operation both in and outside of the country.
The models' consistently safe record has built confidence in South Korean fighter aircraft."
With these home-grown state-of-the-art fighter jets,...
South Korean pilots get training on an almost daily basis,... for an average of about 15
to 25 flight hours a month.

K'Nex September Update - Duration: 5:37.
Hey everyone, it is Austin here with a quick video update on my new K'Nex Ball Machine
at The Works Museum.
So I have now been working on this new project for probably seven months now and it's been
going really well although obviously quite a bit slower than I first anticipated.
And the main reason that it's been taking so long is this new lift and this lift right
here took about four months just by itself to get working the way I wanted it to.
So this is an automatic reversing cable driven elevator lift which stands twenty two feet
tall and carries, on average, one ball every five seconds.
So balls queue at the bottom of the lift, they wait for an elevator to get down, they
are automatically loaded, and they are brought all the way to the top of the machine here
where they are dumped out into a waiting area.
The little regulator wheel here is letting one ball every five seconds get fed into the
machine, and if the elevators are running at full capacity, there will never be a gap
in the balls that run through here.
So I have gone through about ten revisions so far on this gear box and I tried to make
this all be powered off of official K'Nex motors, but in the end I found that it was
best to get a 24 volt gear motor which has a lot more torque.
That really helped a lot, it allowed me to get the speed I needed and the ball through
that I needed.
Problem is though, it has so much torque that it just rips pieces apart if it encounters
any resistance at all.
So that is where all the rest of the problems with this gear box came up.
So you may notice all of the wires and lights and there's even this little OLED display
down here.
So this is a computer controlled lift.
I did try to make it completely mechanical and I had one revision that was almost working
but it still broke down just a little bit too frequently.
So, this new computer controlled version is capable of self monitoring and self diagnosing
and it will automatically shut itself off if any problems or jams are encountered.
Since this machine is going to be running for eight hours a day, seven days a week,
that's a really important feature to have.
So you see the flashing LEDs on the structure here.
Those are haul sensors which are detecting magnets that have been attached to gears on
the input side near the motor, as well as the output side near the pulley.
In between them I have two banks of wind up motors and the torque from the motor is split
between both of those banks.
Those are there as a safety mechanism in case something stalls the output of the transmission.
You can see here, the computer is monitoring the RPM, the number of cycles, the average
time per cycle, as well as the average slip.
And the slip is the difference in rotational speed between the input and output, and that
difference is taken into account by the wind-up motors.
So watch what happens when I jam the transmission here.
So that loud clicking you heard right there was the wind-up motors maxing out and it just
clicked through the springs in the wind-up motors instead of damaging any of the parts
inside the transmission.
The computer detected the difference in speed of the input and output halves of the transmission
and it automatically shut itself down, reversed for two seconds, and then continued onward
hopefully clearing the jam.
If reversing the transmission does not clear the jam, it will simply shut itself off and
wait to be fixed and reset.
So far, the machine has five completed paths.
You may recognize the elements of some of them from my past machines.
The helix and the alternating counterweights as well as the giant loop from the ball machine
at Brickmania, the large spiral and corrugated orange tubing from the old machine at The
Works, and of course the giant spiral bowl - also from Brickmania.
The giant ferris wheel is the most recent addition to this ball machine.
It's four and a half feet in diameter.
All the balls end up in this large trough at the bottom of the machine.
They are picked up by a short chain lift which delivers them to the two waiting areas at
the bottoms of each of the elevators.
My immediate plans for this machine are to fill in the large vacant area by the staircase
there.
I'm working on a series of dueling and racing tracks that are going to fill that space and
bring the balls back down to the bottom.
So this machine is definitely coming together, albeit a little more slowly than I had hoped,
but it should be finished within the next month or two.
As for the total piece count right now, I really have no idea but it's definitely over
100,000.
I'm hoping to surpass the number of pieces of the machine at Brickmania and maybe even
hit the 200,000 piece mark.
Alright, that's all for this update, I'll see you next time whenever that may be.
Thanks for watching.

President Moon calls for strong military for peace amid 70th Armed Forces Day - Duration: 2:19.
President Moon Jae-in attended a special ceremony marking South Korea's 70th Armed Forces Day.
He stressed the nation has entered an era of peace,.. but insisted the military's role
has never been more crucial.
Hwang Hojun has our top story.
President Moon said the nation has entered an era of peace now that the threat of war
on the Peninsula is gone, recalling the declaration he signed in Pyeongyang with North Korean
leader Kim Jong-un.
He reiterated the promise he made in front of 150,000 Pyeongyang citizens to realize
a Peninsula without nuclear weapons or nuclear threats.
But President Moon emphasized that peace doesn't come overnight,... and that it can only be
achieved when South Korea is powerful enough to fend for itself.
"Now is the time our military to be at the forefront of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Peace through strength is the mission of the military.
The real hero of the peace era is a strong military."
President Moon's remarks came during a ceremony to celebrate South Korea's 70th Armed Forces
Day.
His speech follows his recent summit in Pyeongyang with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, where
the two Koreas signed a joint-military agreement to immediately halt all hostile military acts
against one another.
During Monday's ceremony, President Moon first congratulated and thanked all active service
members and war veterans for their sacrifices.
Noting the military reform that is taking place, President Moon once again stressed
that the process is necessary so that the armed forces can be one with the people.
He also stressed that key to a strong military is the soldiers themselves.
"When soldiers are respected without discrimination and are truly proud of their country and military,
then they will become soldiers of valor and dedication."
President Moon pledged to make the service environment fairer and more communicative,
while also providing customized support for service members to find jobs... to ensure
that their military obligation does not cause them to be severed from society.
He also vowed to expand opportunities for discharged soldiers to become police officers,
coast guards and firemen as well as tackling gender discrimination within the military.

Rival parties clash over outcome of recent inter-Korean summit - Duration: 2:56.
The National Assembly interpellation session continues, with government ministers in the
hot seat.
Some issues for debate were the outcome of the recent inter-Korean summit and the ratification
of a joint summit declaration.
Kim Min-ji has the latest from parliament.
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party said that not enough progress has been made on
denuclearization... despite three rounds of talks between President Moon Jae-in and North
Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
"North Korea needs to submit a list of its nuclear weapons.
Also, how will the international community oversee the dismantlement?
Have either of these things been taken care of?"
"The United States supports South Korea in fostering an environment for peace.
You must note that we are not the sole player, but we have been able to restart talks between
North Korea and the U.S."
The ruling Democratic Party of Korea, however, said that the South Korean government is doing
a good job as mediator,... and that now the U.S. needs to act boldly so that the North
can take concrete steps... as promised in the Pyeongyang Declaration.
"There needs to be action so that the North can feel secure as it denuclearizes."
"What the North has demanded is a guarantee of its regime's security.
This has to be given in line with denuclearization, but it can't be right now because of a lack
of trust between Washington and Pyeongyang.
So they will need to discuss what corresponding actions the U.S. can take... so the North
can take concrete measures."
On the ratification of the Panmunjeom Declaration agreed on by the two Koreas in April,... the
conservatives said that progress on denuclearization must come first.
They also criticized the government for its vagueness about the price tag,... claiming
that some infrastructure projects the government wants would cost roughly 50 billion U.S. dollars.
"You don't know?
Or is this information is uncomfortable for you to discuss?"
"We have to conduct joint investigations and decide what to do first before we can come
up with an exact figure.
So the estimate that we have put forward is what we believe we will need for next year."
But, the ruling party stressed that the declaration needs to be ratified by parliament to ensure
the promises in it are implemented... even if there's a change in government.
"What are you doing in terms of ratification?"
"We will closely communicate with and seek cooperation from parliament.
But please note that there are ways South Korea will benefit as the projects are carried
out."
As for the agreement signed last month on easing military tensions,... the opposition
argued that South Korea's military has been weakened,... but the ruling party and the
government brushed off those concerns, saying that the agreement has reduced the chance
of clashes and has not compromised the country's security.
