tv Outnumbered FOX News November 9, 2017 9:00am-10:00am PST
taxes huge. huge for your wallet and the economy. we'll be focused all day. >> thank you for joining us. "outnumbered" starts right now. >> fox news alert. it's a big day on capitol hill. we're awaiting new information on the republican plans for tax reform. moments ago, the senate finance committee revealing their version of the tax bill to republicans behind closed doors. details are leaking out. this as the house ways and means committee is expecting to put out their version today. we'll tell you where everything stands as we get it. this is "outnumbered." this is sandra smith. we have kennedy and lisa boost. former deputy spokesperson for the state department, maria harf. and we have fox news legal analyst, bob massey is here. glad to have you. you are outnumbered. slip of the tongue there. waiting on the details of the
senate plan to be released, this is a very big moment for this country. >> it is very much so. listening to some of the things that paul ryan talked about, it's somewhat complicated. when you look at one of the things that concerns me, some of the things i heard is this possible delay of a year before something happens. you look at the market, i don't know, down 140 points, what are the businesses thinking? he said the president wants it now. they say a year. >> you set it up for us. the senate financial committee outlining their tax reform plan behind closed doors. it's reportedly very different from the house version. setting up a potential battle within the gop. with. trump's first major legislative victory hanging in the balance. paul ryan says he's not concerned. >> we write a bill, they write a bill. we pass a bill. we go to a conference committee. that's how laws are written all the time. with negotiate with the house and the senate and president all
summer, falling to produce a billion that works inside the frame work and the house and the senate bill will do that. >> the "wall street journal" is reporting president trump told senators this week, you'll like the senate version more than the house version. and just a short time ago, i spoke to marco rubio that says there will be big differences including one controversial proposal. >> it will be different from the house. one of the things that will be different is the state and local taxes exemption. in florida, when i do my taxes, i get to write off my property tax, a portion of sales tax. people are upset about that. it's going to go away. but what matters, how much do you pay at the end of the day, how much do you pay? so while that may be going away, there's other things that are going up. the combination of those two changes is going to lead most if not the vast overwhelming majority of americans that need a tax cut will get one. >> he's cautiously optimistic.
we wonder how far apart are the house and senate in this? >> as relates to the local taxes, seems to me that it's geographically driven. if you take california, new york, new jersey and connecticut, that could be very important. if you take a state like nevada where we literally, our property taxes are affordable. we don't look at that if i'm going to buy property. those in higher areas, it could have a major impact and could end it. >> kennedy, what are you looking for here? what stands out to you as we await more details? >> end the shell game. you're telling people that you're going to reduce their taxes. you're going to lower payments, have more money. that may be true in some regard but all they're doing is looking for other ways to raise taxes on both sides. that's what you're seeing with the salt deduction. you can make the case it's not right for certain states to raise these local taxes. you are irresponsible governors and lawmakers in places like
new york and california and they have to reason to keep taxes low. maybe this will put a burden on them if they see wealthy people leaving their state and relocating their businesses and homes to places like nevada and florida. other than that we need to go to a fair tax, a flatter tax. stop the deductions, stop the nonsense and stop the shell game. bottom line, cut spending. neither is bold enough to do it. >> i want to get this down to robert here, slamming the gop tax plan and then go to marie on this. >> the most important thing is to make sure that the tax cut does not reach the light of day. that whole -- it's a giant corporate tax cut. the middle class will be hurt. the wealthiest members of society will come out even better than they are doing right now, which is better than they've done in the history. there should never have been this tax cut on the agenda. >> the former labor secretary not making his opinions on this
a secret. >> he never does. look, i think that people are concerned there's parts of the middle class that will see their taxes go up. there's still this huge revenue shortfall. that's what kennedy was saying. the gop has not outlined the shortfall and how they make the gap smaller. yesterday one senator came out against this. this is far from a political done deal. the senate and the house version will push it far apart. >> i think to paul ryan's point, this is a process. the house is still in their process. the senate will lay out their version of the bill. as marie stated, they're going to go to conference. we're at the beginning of the process. there's concerns. marie mentioned the deficit. these are concerns that senator langford talked about. senator flake has concerns. there's concerns over the salt deductions as well.
people in high tax states, new york, new jersey, california. concerns of small business communities expressing the fact that 90% of businesses won't be benefitted by the 25% rate. so i think there's a lot of concerns -- >> you mean the pass-through rate? >> yes. a lot of concerns here. the house and the senate, it's about getting to a majority vote and getting it done in the house and senate. >> so you set it up. the stakes are high. some republicans see this is a must-do after the big election day losses tuesday for republicans. chairman orrin hatch whose committee would write the legislation said the elections could make it harder to get the bill passed. telling the "washington post" "i mean, it could because the elections went against the republicans." so this is a reminder to get to work, says paul ryan. >> it doesn't change my reading of the current moment. emphasizes my current read of
the moment. we have a promise. one of the chief promises that we made, whether it's the president or the congress in 2016, that we could do tax reform and tax reform for families and people. we have to do that. >> a source close to the white house said they're not sharing the speaker's optimism. the hill reporting that this administration insiders think republicans lost because the republican-controlled congress is not getting anything done. so bob just how important -- >> i'm so burnt on hearing that. it's like can't you get together and figure this out and make it work? people are tired of, this it's like this is what you wanted. you got it. they're like a bunch of kids and nobody -- there's so much toxicity that they can't communicate clearly and make it happen. what we have learned since the election, everything is gone in every different direction. i have to tell you, from the part of the country i'm from, republicans are fed up. they don't want to hear about
it. they're tired of excuses. they want something to get done. i'm not a finance guy. you ladies have more background. my question is this, on the tax plan, is it possible instead of taking like 15 different things to make it happen, because there's -- maybe take one or two things and see can we make that happen and maybe build from there? >> that's what they discussed in the senate. take it apart. we talked about this. if there's one thing that you're going to do to have the most meaningful impact regardless of what former secretary rice has to say, lowter corporate tax rate. that will have the biggest impact. you'll see the economy grow from there. then once you have a victory, if you do want to take it apart, go ahead with confidence and tackle the other stuff when voters trust you. >> real quick, give me capital gains tax deduction. i'm going to tell you something, in the real estate world, you lower the capital gains tax, properly will soar, sell, build and develop. >> and democrats don't want to hear that. >> i'm not sure voters want to
hear that. it will be hard for republicans to run on we cut the corporate tax rate. middle class families are not seeing more money in their wallet. >> middle class families work for corporations as well. more will work for corporations -- >> there's the open debate about how long it will take for middle class families to feel that. republicans are struggling, is it worth politically to do nothing or do something bad that is unpopular. that's the question. the house feels electoral pressure more than the senate. the senate doesn't feel it. >> there's pressure from someone who has worked in political politics. this is what my career has been in. there is this immense pressure. the concern with virginia, nobody is surprised that democrats won a trending blue state. congratulations. exactly what was supposed to happen. >> i am. >> i'm not. the problem is that democrats were energized. we saw that in the ebb chelect r
electora electorate. so the concern for republicans is that republicans will sit home. they're not motivated. the democrats are motivated. you're motivated when you're in the minority. that is the biggest concerns. if the republicans don't get tax reform done, obamacare done, what is the motivation to turn out? >> the president apparently on that phone call with democrats, the "wall street journal" is reporting, he said democrats are going to like this senate plan. >> that's terrifying. that means it's a big government, high-spending plan that is also going to kowtow to nancy pelosi. many are saying this is a tax cut for the rich. ask the rich people. no it's not. >> republicans on the hill are scared of having a repeat of what happened on obamacare. president trump kept changing his mind about what he's red lines were. publicly he would say things that would undercut them. so when he says the democrats
will like it better -- >> for house republicans, it scares them. >> bob massi hit the nail on the head when you said they're a bunch of babies. when you take the comments on the couch, that's what we have been saying. >> you can't make this group of people up. i have to tell you, they are ridiculous. what it has shown, this swamp is deeper than trump ever believed. i believe that, number 1. >> and he's not fixing it. >> okay. he's been there a year. let's not get to the other guy. the bottom line is, i look at this. i disagree with you about the capitol gains. if you do certain things, i will guarantee you when people start seeing that there's more jobs and companies, they're going to say, i understand it took time but -- it's not going to happen overnight. you have to understand the people with money, they want to grow their business. they want to employ people. i never met a poor person that could employ somebody. >> but they vote.
>> i understand. >> that's the key question. >> you're talking to a real estate guy. >> but you make me sound so much smarter. >> yes, it was. >> you do well. >> my co host is in our nation's capitol. on "over time" today she will be sitting down with kellyanne conway. they'll be talking about the push for tax reform. that's at the top of the hour. a new bomb shell in the probe in hillary clinton's e-mails. some in the cia raised red flags to james comey. the new questions this raises. plus, talking tough on north korea. president trump's blunt message to china. what that country can do to help ease the crisis. but is china listening? >> the entire civilized world must unite to confront the north
korean menace. alright,
i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. cohigher!ad! higher! parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese and everything's good again. more!
>> a fox news alert. the drip drip drip continues when it comes to hillary clinton's e-mails. james comey softened the language in his memo exonerating hillary's handling of classified information even after cia
officials said they were damaging to the agency. this according to summaries of fbi interviews. one cia official calling whoever sent one e-mail "an idiot" writing that they knew better and hurt the cia. the timing of the interviews is significant because they're written within the time frame when comey edited language on hillary's actions from grocery negligent to extremely careless. that distinction is very important. grossly negligent is a crime punishable under law. so you're in fact a lawyer. so when you hear about this and you see that the language was in fact changed and softened, what is the first thing that goes through your head? >> i've come to the conclusion as relates to the clintons, they must have something on everybody. honestly. grossly negligent is a criminal -- a civil word and a
criminal word. legal lion what it means. >> grossly negligent falls in a specific legal definition. if you're guilty of gross negligence -- >> there's culpability. an adult, if you do something, your grossly negligent. >> if you extremely careful with classified information that falls under the same category -- >> i don't think most people think that james comey has tried to help hillary clinton when he said they weren't charging her but reprimanded her publicly. but then he said they reopened the case in october. so the fbi looked at the information, including people in the state department and other people. they came to the conclusion that she should not be charged. they came to that conclusion before they interviewed her and before they interviewed some of
the critical witnesses in her inner circle and were given these sketchy immunity deals. they stand by it because they're trying to cover their arses. >> and i think the majority of americans believe that if her name was marie harth, she would be prosecuted and fired. >> and hillary was running to be commander-in-chief and ridiculed president trump and then put her security information and traveling on international soil and has the audacity to say that countries like russian have goods on donald trump, which every country has information on her and her country, also probably putting our cia officials and military men and women at risk with the
information on her server. >> sounds like they have a different set of rules. catherine herridge has more. watch. >> can you assure people that mrs. clinton and her team are being held to the same standard and that there isn't a special set of rules because they are powerful and politically connected? >> i'm not growing to comment. other than to say there's no special set of rules for anybody that the fbi investigates. >> seems like there's a special set of rules. >> that is the feeling that we're left here with. i don't know. i think this is what leads to this complete distrust in washington. you see this happening and changing of the language and a letter being crafted before it was even time and just -- you put it together and you fear what is really going on. >> i listened to legal experts specializing in this area. say that we probably would be in cuffs.
probably would have an indictment. doesn't make sense to me. there's this optics whether it's real or not. that these people have always had a separate set of rules for many, many years. the average american, man and woman, would in fact have set legal consequence and that they continue -- and she goes to foreign countries and bashes our president, bashes our president here, gets applauses on night shows and i'm saying to myself, again, you can't just make this kind of stuff up. what is it that we're missing? what is it we're missing on this deal? >> you know what we're missing? a giant foundation that launders millions and millions of dollars. >> and i'm not going to defend hillary clinton till my face turns blue as you know. >> as your dress. >> exactly. i have criticized her when i think she's warranted of it. some of this is hyperbole. 2016 is over. she's not -- >> some of it may be but most of it leads to a logical conclusion
that hillary clinton was guilty of something and let off the hook because there was a different set of rules applied to her. >> i think it led -- >> i know she's guilty to my very marrow, marie. >> i would love to continue this discussion. unfortunately there's people in my ear telling me no and i'm saying yes. >> speaking of people terrified of hillary clinton, joe biden dishing in a new memior that he could have beaten hillary clinton. and president trump could meet with vladimir putin. when it comes to dealing with nuke threats, we should talk to everybody. so will he and should he? we'll debate. >> time is quickly running out. i'm calling on russia to help reign in this potentially very tragic situation. fortunate enough to travel to many interesting places.

>> president trump is wrapping up what has been an eventful trip to china. he heads to vietnam tonight and pressuring china to sever ties with north korea. >> the world must unite to confront the north korean menace. we discussed our mutual commitment to the complete denuclearization of north korea. we agreed not to replicate failed approaches of the past and there were many. all responsible nations must join together to stop arming and financing and even training with the murderers north korean regime. >> china's president speaking out about a nuclear north korea. but sounding noncommittal on
sanctions. meanwhile, president trump hoping for progress on the u.s.-china trade deficit. he blames it on previous administrations, not china. >> we want a vibrant trade relationship with china. we want a fair and reciprocal one. i discussed with president chi concrete steps that will jointly take to solve the problem of the massive trade distortion. >> and as president trump heads to vietnam for a summit of asian nations, many are wondering if he will meet one-on-one with vladimir putin. secretary of state rex tillerson is saying the idea is still under consideration. apparently the state department saying it just depends on what they decide that they can talk about, what that is, determine whether or not they sit down. anyway, bob massi? >> the north korean thing is complicated. this guy obviously is a real
dictator and trump keeps pushing the envelope as far as he can. i think -- i'm not an expert but you have to have china involved. has to be a cooperative effort to make it. but for me, i like the push back. i want the push back. the question, is he crazy enough to do something or -- if i have ever seen a dictator, this guy is. he fits the image. >> would you like to see the president sit down with vladimir putin, marie? >> under the right circumstances, yes. i think that the u.s. and russia have to talk to each other. i've never been concerned about the u.s. trying to work with russia when it's in our interest to do so. i'm more concerned about donald trump and this administration not being willing to push the russians on issues like they should. like on election hacking, like russian activities in syria. things that russia is doing we don't like, i haven't seen enough push back. on north korea, absolutely.
the proof from this trip will be what are the tangible take-aways. the comments have been good in china. it will be interesting to see what happens at the asian summit. he has to come home with tangible take-aways on how to increase the pressure on north korea. russia can play a role. >> you think the president is making progress with china, kennedy? >> i do think he is. i think it's a very smart orchestration starting in japan with strong alliance, a great speech in south korea and show the contrast between south korean success and the north korean murderous dictatorship and how people suffer and die under that regime. and now he's moving on to china. sometimes i think he gets a little too enamored there is there and how our economies are so linked. to maria's point, yeah, he could be more firm. there has to be discussion with russia about north korea. they also need to be held
accountable for their relationship with iran and iran's relationship with north korea. >> i don't think there's anything wrong with him sitting down with vladimir putin. they're both world leaders. on the china front, yes, we hope he's putting pressure on china and china enforces the sanctions and china takes additional actions with north korea. at some point president trump has tried to build this relationship, tried to develop the carrot approach. at some point if china doesn't play ball, maybe we should look at further sanctioning chinese banks, individuals that do business with north korea legally or illegally. so you know, there's also an aspect of when you start playing hardball with china if they don't help us. >> harris is in d.c. she will be joined by kellyanne conway and discussing the president's big trip and that possible meeting with vladimir putin. check it out. "outnumbered" overtime at the top of the hour.
>> members of both parties pushing for a fix to save the dreamer's program which protects undocumented immigrants. house republicans earlier saying it's time to find a solution as it appear as dreamer's fix will not be added to an end of the year spending bill. watch this. >> we're talking about human beings, talking about innocent people through no fault of their own or no decision of their own. they're here in a precarious position. we have the obligation to rectify this, showing american people that we can get something done in congress. >> we need to provide a humane permanent and constitutional solutions to this issue. >> however, republicans remain divided over a path to citizenship. senate democrats are calling to add protections for dreamers to the spending bill as they look to seize on the issue ahead of the mid-terms. watch this. >> right now there's more than 800 dreamers serving the united states military.
if congress fails to pass the dream act, these young people could be forced to leave the military and be placed at risk of thing deported from the country they have volunteered to serve. >> our nation is not as strong as it is today in spite of our immigrant families. it's as strong today because of our immigrant families. >> there seems to be a lot of agreement that something has to be done about the dreamers. what are the biggest details that are holding republicans back? >> i think you mentioned the divide in the republican party. i thinkty democrat party is split on this issue as well. we saw what happened to ralph northam and nancy pelosi about going after her with immigrat n immigration. i think there's a divide with republicans and among democrats. i think if you're president trump -- >> what about the path to citizenship? >> if you're president trump, he would be -- the republican party or president trump would be foolish to not ask for something
like the raise act to be included as part of any sort of dream act being passed in congress. this is president trump's opportunity to get something done on immigration. the raise act is something that he endorsed with senators cotton and purdue. so now is the time if he wants to see it through to try to attach it to any sort of pathway to citizenship or -- >> however, marie, immigration is not a winning issue for ed gillespie. that may not be top of mind for republican voters in these critical states. so what is to be done? >> bob gates has an interesting piece in "the new york times" about this issue where he says currently there's over 800 dreamers serving in our armed forces. the dreamers served when he was secretary of defense. he calls for not just a new dream act but for a path of citizenship. >> if you wear the uniform and willing to defend our freedom, that puts you in a different
category. i don't think you'd have a lot of opposition from republicans on that. >> the path to citizenship politically is the toughest thing that republicans and democrats can't agree on. this is just something that i don't know if it's a political winner or not. i don't know if voters vote on it. it's the right thing to do. the fact that republicans like peter king are saying so is a drastic political shift from a few years ago and says to me we might actually be able to get something done. >> you've heard a lot of people speak out in the business community and have strong opinions when it comes to daca. your perspective has to be different on this, too, bob. >> i'm 100% for doing something on daca. these children, when they were born here, they were victims of the people that came over illegally. if the parents are illegal, they should be illegal. i don't agree with that. the immigration issue, we're impacted in the southwest part of our country because we have so many immigrants that came
there and a lot of mexican americans now that are living there, those that did become naturalized citizens and those that are daca. i think everybody has to clean this up and make it happen and make a pathway to citizenship, make it reasonable and make it happen. >> that's the sticking point. it's the amnesty. blanket amnesty is something that obviously is a huge issue for those that president trump in office. >> it is. i don't disagree with it. people that are victims of this and -- >> and a great deal of empathy there is the question is how do you deal with these people? you can't deport them. >> these people are -- you're telling me we can probably sit down in a day and figure something out. >> let's do it. >> these people are complicated because they're worried about decisions and votes. these kids did nothing wrong. we have to figure it out. get this behind us. there's more important issues. >> would it be like they didn't
care if they lost how different would or world be? former president clinton linked president trump with the dictator club. >> are you talking about foreign countries or here? >> oh, deafening. either that or he had a senior moment. >> conan o'brien asking him to clarify his remark. whether this is more sour grapes for the clintons from the election day loss. joe biden said he knew he could beat hillary clinton in a primary but he decided not to run because he knew the campaign would stop at nothing. how democrats will react and what that could mean for 2020. stay here. yo, check it out dawg.
that was just a'ight for me. i mean, you got the walk. you got the stance.. but i wasn't really feeling it. you know what, i'm not buying this. you gotta come a little harder dawg. you gotta figure it out. eh, i don't know. shaky on the walk, carriage was off. randy jackson judging a dog show. i don't know dawg. surprising. what's not surprising? how much money lisa saved by switching to geico. wow! performance of the night. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

>> former president -- vice president joe biden writing in his memoirs that he knew he was capable of beating hillary clinton but decided not to run because he feared a negative campaign saying that hillary clinton's campaign would stop at night. biden writing honesty and empathy was as high as it's ever been. the key swing states like pennsylvania, ohio and florida are all states president trump ended up winning. the former vice president also noting that at the same time his family was struggling with his son beau's death. while he didn't write about it, he was dealing with his son hunter's messy divorce. so you end on that note.
>> it was a big part of it. he made that clear at the time. he was going -- >> as he should. >> going through a lot of family issues and problems. but you go back to some of the things that he noted about running up against hillary clinton. >> i found that interesting that who is calling the credibility question now? we talked about earlier about their credibility and the kind of person they may be. i always liked joe biden. not just because of horrible tragedies in his life. but he always seems like he was a good fear, appeared to be a good husband, a nice man. i didn't agree with one thing he said politically honestly. but i like the guy. something. so if you want to put joe biden next to hillary clinton, there's no question from the optics -- i don't know if he will be trumped. >> what did he mean by that, the stop at nothing campaign -- >> i don't know what he meant -- >> they'll pay $9 million for a
dossier on joe. >> the main reason he didn't go through is because of his family. you said if you're going to run, you have to be 100%. after the year he had, he couldn't. he knew that. i do believe he could have beaten hillary. her campaigns are ruthless. so is donald trump. i think he could have given donald trump more of a competitive general election race. i think that he is looking at 2020. >> i think you're right. can i just say that every time one of these books comes out and the donna brazile book comes out and they're factions of the democratic party saying it's over for her. if joe biden runs, bernie is running, elizabeth warren is running. she doesn't care about hillary clinton. that's why she said the election and the dnc rigged everything for hillary. >> you know who else thought that he should be president? barack obama. he also wrote this, lisa, but
late 2014. we were walking after lunch. he said joe, if i had the power of appointment, i would appoint you president. we agree on the issues. you'd be the best president. >> days of joe biden running are over. you have splits in the democratic party where the bernie sanders wing that don't think like corey booker are progressive enough. so i don't think joe biden would have a chance. but he would have done better against president trump. you look at macomb county, michigan. one of the counties that helped put president trump over the top. your working close voters, a working class county that president trump won that hillary clinton paid no attention to. she was unable to connect with so many workers that delivered the rust belt to president trump. so the problem with democrats,
can they connect with those voters again. >> if virginia told us anything, we nominated the moderate of the two candidates. >> we did not nominate the progressive. we voted for somebody like george bush -- >> the point is who can win -- >> i think democrats, looking at the democratic primary are taking lessons and not going to go to bernie. >> former president bill clinton suggested that president trump is part of a dictator's club that is harming democracy. is clinton out of line for slamming the sitting president while mr. trump is in asia training training to rein in actual dictators like kim jong-un? we debate.
>> more "outnumbered" in just a moment. first, we need to touch base with harris. she's in washington d.c. she's going to let us know whose coming up on "outnumbered" overtime. >> hi. kellyanne conway will join me in the nation's capitol.
will the president meet with vladimir putin. she's coming from the tax strategy meeting on the hill. i'll get the scoop on that from her perspective. the inside battle about who to hit the senate as they roll out their vision for tax cuts. senator ron johnson from the important budget committee will give me the lawmaker's take on the same senate tax hearing, the meeting they're in. we'll go "outnumbered" overtime from dc in a few minutes. it's a big day here on the hill. >> wash out washington. harris has arrived. >> you think they're ready? >> yeah. we look forward to that, harris. thank you. >> thanks. >> it will be fun to watch. former president bill clinton appearing to slam president trump during an appearance on conan last night. the one-year anniversary of his wife hillary clinton's stunning election loss. clinton seeming to imply that president trump is part of a group of dictators that are distorting the truth and putting democracy itself in jeopardy. watch. >> the dictator's club in the
world. there's a bunch of them. they want to abolish the line between truth and lie. they figure if you don't know what is true and you don't think you can ever know that pretty soon everybody will accept the fact that democracy is no locker possible. >> you're talking about foreign countries or here? show me to the bone for a second. >> look, all i can tell you -- >> you said a lot by saying nothing. >> so bob, what benefit does this do for that kind of language, particularly at a time where president trump is overseas meeting with china, addressing real dictators like kim jong-un who kills family members, his regime killed otto warbier. what does this do? >> this is the guy that was in a deposition -- >> what is your definition of a word is. >> this guy is questioning
credibility and truth. what aggravates me about this, you can hate your president if you want to. how about respect the fact that he represents our country? respect the fact that he's overseas. they have so much venom and poor losers. he represents -- i wasn't a barack obama guy. i wasn't trashing him. it's not right. you have to respect the presidency. it's the difference between him and bush. when it was over, obama won, you never heard bush say anything about anything. he did his thing. that's what a respectable person should do. it's out of line. >> and to that point, does he really have a leg to stand on? as bob pointed out, someone that was impeached for perjury. his wife went polling during the election that the number 1 word associated with her is the word "liar." does he have a place to talk about truth and honesty? >> yes. donald trump has exhibited
anti-democratic tendencies. he hate as free press. he says they're the enemy of the american people. he routinely says things that are not true. so yes, it's a fair criticism. say what you want about being respectful. donald trump has broken every rule about how a person is supposed to act respectfully. donald trump goes after gold star families. donald trump says question barack obama's citizenship. don't have a lot of sympathy here for donald trump getting criticized while he's overseas when he's -- >> what you're saying is you're okay with the former president criticizing the sitting president while he was overseas meeting with world leaders. >> you would have kittens if george w. bush did that. you would have burned young felines. >> he was making a broader point about the world and media and
fake news and the internet. >> to be fair, the implication that he said donald trump. >> absolutely that's what it was. >> he said he's a dictator along the lines like kim jong-un. >> he didn't say that. >> that's why people are so frustrated. it's fine if my side does it. hillary clinton was impossible -- i get so choked up. excuse me. it's possible for her to truly take responsible for how her campaign fell apart. to truly take responsibility for her own e-mail server and the irresponsible things she did. to her her husband go out on the political anniversary of the biggest loss in this country and the person that beat her is a dictator. >> do you wish that donald trump told the truth me? >> of course. i don't like his authoritarian tendencies. >> you don't go on national tv and imply that this guy is a
dictator. he's the president of our country. >> bob got the last word. more in just a moment. >> the passion came over me. growing up, we were german. we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt.

Two people who are true friends are like two bodies with one soul.
The boundaries of bodies are the least of all things.
The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body.
Our body is dependent on heaven and heaven on the Spirit.
No desire of the body, but for what lies in there, what lies in the flesh, the world, the thought, the creation, the illumination.

Protect yourself from tick bites, U of M expert says
Compared to other pathogens, Powassan virus is very rare in Canada
May 8, 2015 —
The Canadian Press recently reported on a sudden increase of Powassan infections, a rare but virulent virus transmitted by blacklegged ticks, but a U of M entomologist doesn't want people to focus on this aspect of the story.
The virus gets its name from Powassan, Ont., where it was discovered in 1958, and since then only 16 human cases have been reported in Canada. The recent concern stems from the spike in cases being reported in some states: Minnesota, for instance, has reported 20 cases between 2004-2013. Overall in the US, about 60 cases have been reported in the last 10 years.
The Canadian Press notes that ticks carrying the Powassan virus, which causes swelling of the brain, have been found in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
Why hasn't it been detected in Manitoba?
"My first answer is because nobody is looking for it," says Kateryn Rochon, an assistant professor in the department of entomology and tick expert at the University of Manitoba. "I have been trying to but I haven't received funding for it yet."
Rochon is assisting the Manitoba government with its Blacklegged Tick and Lyme Disease Surveillance Program. She hopes to begin studying Powassan and other tick-borne pathogens in Manitoba soon.
"There is no reason why it's not here. It just hasn't been a priority to look for it. It is really quite rare. There has been a spike in Minnesota and Wisconsin and other parts of the US over the last few years, but we have a lower population and fewer ticks for the moment. But it's definitely something that's on the radar like the other tick-borne diseases."
Rochon says that although Powassan is the most virulent tick-borne pathogen, it's by far the most rare. Researchers are slowly beginning to study it more, but for now it's more important to focus on the prevalent ones, like Lyme disease and human anaplasmosis.
"If I have one take-home safety message," Rochon says, "it's that people shouldn't be worried about the individual pathogens per say. It's not the Powassan virus you should worry about. You should worry about how to avoid ticks and protect yourself from bites. By doing this you're protecting yourself from all tick-borne diseases: You only get these diseases by getting tick bites. So if you protect yourself from ticks, you're protecting yourself from these pathogens, rare or not. That's the key thing."
If bitten by a tick, the Public Health Agency Of Canada advises you to remove it (watch video below for how to do this) and place it in an airtight bag or pill bottle – you may need to show the tick to a doctor or researcher. Then, note the location and date of the bite, watch for symptoms and seek health care immediately should symptoms appear.

How might understandings of sound and listening deepen approaches toward cultural aesthetics and activism? Are there conceptual frameworks to be shaped from sonic thought that may contribute to new formations of community and collectivity? What types of poetic and communicative possibilities emerge from auditory matters and constructs?
The Sound Culture reading group is an open forum for reading together and reflecting upon experimental forms of sonic expression and related discourses. This will lead into a range of topics, with an emphasis on emergent forms of sonic thought, including: listening and empathy, voice and identity, noise and auditory environments, queer sound and the politics of dissonance. While the group will develop critical reflections and dialogue through the reading of particular texts, artistic and documentary materials will be integrated to deepen and extend discussions.
The Reading Group is organized by Brandon LaBelle and Jeremy Woodruff and Errant Sound project space.
Language: English. Free. Reading sessions will take place once every month at Errant Sound, Kollwitzstrasse 97, 10435 Berlin.

I've already professed my love for Pinterest.com. I spend quite a bit of time on that website. But it would be wrong if I preached about how wonderful it was without showing you practical applications. So here is the first (in a series of many) posts where I'll SHOW you how awesome Pinterest really is.
I decided that I was going to try and save some money. Our family has many vacations we want to take, and home improvement projects we're trying to fund. What better way to save money than to turn to cutting down on our expenses.
The first project I tried was making my own body wash! It's actually kind of a no-brainer. If you read the back of a bottle of any body wash, one of the first ingredients is always water. Here are a few easy--trust me, I did it. It's easy--steps to get all squeaky clean for less!
2. Fill your pot with 1 gallon of water and add the grated cheese soap.
3. Add 2 Tablespoons of Glycerine, and turn heat to medium. Stir until the shavings dissolve, leaving a pot of soapy water.
5. Once your body wash is ready, use a funnel to get into your big container!


Hang out with mum, sisters, and niece... it was not much but it took us hours to have a little dinner lolz... Hum... well, did play with niece in the car.

First post and first time builder. Awesome community here !
After researching the 10 and 14 on this and other sites and blogs for about 6 weeks I settled on building the 14A. Since I work week on week off I have the time, but the work location is in a different city about 100 miles away. Should have a good 10-14 days relatively uninterrupted at home every month, and a couple of hours most days while away. Looking at maximizing my time and thinking of buying two kit segments and working on the empennage while away and haul it back when completed, but do the big stuff at the main home. Completed segments will be stored and assembled in my hangar a few miles from the main home. I know I'll have some duplication of tools and workspace but many tools can be hauled back and forth. Excuse my ignorance, but is it reasonable to build the empennage and maybe other portions in a townhouse community away from the main home, or would I just be setting myself and the neighbors up for a bad experience with complaints like noise and such ?
It is a noisy, and dirty, process.
I have a shop 2 miles from my home hangar. I have a complete set of tools at the home hangar, but the shop has far more. I am constantly in need of a some odd ball tool that I left at the shop. A lot of back and forth.
Also, you want to minimize the amount of handling of your parts. You will see many posts here where folks dropped something while hauling it, or moving it.
In my opinion not practical. If I read correctly with the hangar you have three locations. The most efficient time spent on the project would be in the shop in your main house. While you surely can haul parts and tools to townhouse and back it's a time consuming work without real work on airframe.
You can control dirt while building but you can't control noise. I built my empennage in a small NYC studio apt and I had visitors after first dozen rivets. I still remember carrying parts with me on subway car to a graveyard shift at work. Cops were often curious what I carry in that giant bag after midnight. Unzip - wheel fairings and some epoxy.
Welcome to the obsession you will enjoy the building. I know, I had.
I'm building my -14A in half of a two car garage. I live in a condo complex and spent a considerable amount of brainpower figuring out how to do this without being "that guy" who bothers my neighbors.
My biggest concern was noise. Some things you do in building are noisy and you just can't do much about it, but I've made the effort to minimize it. For example, I got a very quiet air compressor made by California Air Tools. It was a little more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it.
I bought a pneumatic squeezer and do as much riveting as I can with it. I makes very little noise, save for the nasty language when I clench a rivet. I'm also using the DRDT-2 press dimpler. No banging noises and despite hearing some claims it doesn't make dimples as good as a C-frame I've yet to see the difference.
Those operations that are going to be noisy no matter what (e.g. band saw, grinding and deburring on the bench grinder, sanding with the bench belt sander, etc.) I do on weekends in the middle of the day.
So far my neighbors are not bothered by the occasional bout of noise. I get visits often by them to see my progress.
Thanks for the replies, advice and the welcome.
Building the home garage workspace for now.
Vlad has it right here. Most people that keep track of their build time (can I see a show of hands engineers?!) track only time in the shop. If they were honest, they'd probably log at least half as much additional time doing research, looking at plans, and purchasing. There is a whole lot of that to do.
My latest kit project is being shipped at the end of next week - I ordered it in July, and probably have spent several hundred hours already "working" on it....and don't yet have any parts!
Very similar scenario to Paul, kit due in Dec------already grabbing parts here on VAF. Many hours of planning already spent on panel layout and systems design.
I spend at least half of my time pondering things compared to actually hands on work.
If you decide to do that, how about this: Instead of trying to build some things here and some things there, do some common tasks that can be done on the part level at the smaller facility. Things like deburring or sorting hardware or even priming. Then assembly will happen at the main place.
That way tools aren't duplicated as much and since you'll be working on pieces, they can be stopped and picked up again later without much impact. Also, you'll be hauling around pieces rather than major airplane parts. If something's damaged in the transportation, it's a smaller impact.
Maybe you could build the panel at other location?

Last week marked our 13th year in business as an experiential marketing company. I started Department Zero in the spare bedroom of our old house and unknowingly dove head first into an emerging industry that was still in its infancy. In fact, back in 2003 "experiential marketing" wasn't even a term yet. Most referred to it as alternative or event marketing. I feel old.
Turning 13 is a bit of a triumph for us because there are so many shops who haven't been as fortunate. I've seen amazing people, ideas and companies rise and fall over the years. I would like to attribute our staying power to a little bit of luck and stiff drink or two. But honestly? I know our success lies with the amazing people we work with. I'm talking about our employees, clients and business partners.
Without great people, we wouldn't grow. They have challenged our organization, inspired us, supported us, educated us and constantly pushed us to improve our game. We have become better at what we do, because of the lessons they have taught us, sometimes unknowingly.
So to celebrate Department Zero turning a baker's dozen, here are 13 shareworthy tips we've picked up from the best in this business.
Experiential marketing happens in real time. Life happens in real time. Be flexible.
As with people, services, products and ideas, you get what you pay for.
Red flags and sinking feelings are warning signs to be heeded. Trust your gut.
Insist on simplicity. The more complex activations become, the faster consumers lose interest.
Design experiences to achieve goals, not the other way around.
Brand ambassadors are the linchpin of every activation. Invest in your event team.Take care of them and they will take care of you.
After every option has been explored, remember there is always another way.
Establish clear expectations and goals early; foresight is better than hindsight.
Don't skimp on production quality. It's easy to think no one will know the difference, but trust me, they will.
Just say no (when it's appropriate). It's empowering. It's liberating. It will keep you true to who you are and why you're in this business.
Respect the golden rule because, karma.
Like the Boy Scouts, Be Prepared. Play books, trainings, and pre-planned responses make it possible for everyone to do the right thing, in the right moment.
And my personal favorite "Go big or go home" (direct quote from a beloved client).
Hooray! We're a teenager today.


Jim talked about Isis and the U.S. destabilization of the Middle East as well as the rest of the world.
Keith talked world events, militarization of police, and Food Not Bombs.
The News from Mount Liberty, where we resurrected one of Jack Robert King's radio columns, very powerful stuff.


The Putting Green 4 x 12 is the most popular practice green manufactured and sold by Big Moss. The guys at Big Moss are well known for their premium putting and chipping greens. They have developed one of the world's best Short Game practice system. Now you can practice and learn how to lower your score without spending a lot of money on all sorts of expensive equipment and plenty of time at the range.
The Big Moss Augusta Putting Green 4 x 12 is a premium green that can be used for putting and for chipping. Its size—not too big and not too small makes it a perfect entertainment addition to any room. In fact, the turf is adequately large for you to break putts and perfect your straight lines. Augusta offers unmatched flexibility for all year round indoor practice and teaching.
All Big Moss putting Greens are made by hand in the U.S. using proprietary materials and manufacturing processes and the Big Moss Augusta Putting Green 4 x 12 is not any different. The surface of the turf is wrinkle free and offers a smooth true roll down grain just like natural green grass. The turf is also much thicker and denser than the cheap type of green. You can tell the superior quality just from looking and feeling it. The green is also portable allowing you to move it from one room to another or from your house to your office and back without any hassles. You do not need any extra tools to set this up!
Few putting greens come with specially made breaks. The Big Moss Augusta Putting Green 4 x 12 features the Break Snake™, one of the best features of this practice green. The Break Snake is a flexible foam strip that can be placed beneath the turf to create breaks that you will find both fun and challenging. This is a great way to practice the value of speed in your putts. In addition to a putting green, Augusta comes with a 12'x12' chipping mat that simulates the margins of a putting green. This way, you can utilize greenside chips.
You may end up paying more for this green, but you will definitely see where that extra buck has gone.


Earlier in the day, one of Cam Newton's sponsors, Dannon, said that it would no longer be working with him following his comments on Wednesday.
Later on in the day, Gatorade, also came out with strong comments against Newton.
As of this writing Newton has still not apologized for his comments, in which he said it was "funny" that a female reporter was asking him a question about routes.
Newton and the Carolina Panthers return to action on Sunday when they take on the Detroit Lions.
The post Gatorade issues official statement on Cam Newton following sexist comments appeared first on SEC Country.

Modeling DNA Methylation Tiling Array Data

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in DNA sequence. It has quickly emerged as an essential area for understanding inheritance and variation that cannot be explained by the DNA sequence alone. Epigenetic modifications have the potential to regulate gene expression and may play a role in diseases such as cancer. DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic modification that occurs when a methyl chemical group attaches to a cytosine base on the DNA molecule. To better understand this epigenetic mechanism, DNA methylation profiles can be constructed by identifying all locations of DNA methylation in a genomic region (e.g. chromosome or whole-genome). Large-scale studies of DNA methylation are supported by microarray technology known as tiling arrays. These arrays provide high-density coverage of genomic regions through the unbiased, systematic selection of probes that are tiled across the regions. Statistical methods are employed to estimate each probe's DNA methylation status. Previous studies indicate that DNA methylation patterns of some organisms differ by genomic element (e.g., gene, transposon), suggesting that genomic annotation information may be useful in statistical analysis. In this work, a novel statistical model is proposed, which takes advantage of genomic annotation information that to date has not been effectively utilized in statistical analysis. Specifically, a hidden Markov model, which incorporates genomic annotation, is introduced and investigated through a simulation study and analysis of an Arabidopsis thaliana DNA methylation tiling array experiment.

On our walk to school today, we got wet shoes (I need to invest in a pair of rain boots), wet pants and wet umbrellas. Walking in the rain is lovely as long as it isn't too cold. I love the different scents; the water dripping down from the sky and the trees; the ripples in the puddles. The girls love the rain, too; they get to use their umbrellas and wear rain boots!
One of the lovely things about rain is the rainbow possibility. Today Emmy and I were lucky; the sun started to shine and a rainbow appeared. Dark clouds were behind the rainbow yet, and it was faint and hard to see. Once we walked into the preschool room, the teachers brought all the kids to the windows to see; the dark clouds were dissipating and the rainbow was shining brighter in the sky.
Without the rain, there would be no rainbow. When a rainbow appears, the dark clouds are a reminder of the rain that just was. Rainbows are unpredictable; we hope for them; we wish for a rainbow to appear after the rainstorm. I have searched for a rainbow in the skies many times after a storm, disappointed. I'll know that the conditions are right–the rain has passed us by and the sun is shining through the rain; there must be a rainbow somewhere! Perhaps someone else is in the right spot to see the rainbow when I'm unable to find it. Perhaps someone else is seeing its beauty. That's a nice thought, isn't it?
Wishing rainbow skies for you today!
Nice, Ginny. I never thought about the rainbow coming only after the rain. It's a nice thought. One, I'll remember.
That IS a nice thought! And I love all the rain pictures!
what a lovely, positive thought for the morning. Thank you!
Beautiful pictures. I just love a rainbow. Have a wonderful week.
Perhaps the beauty of a rainbow would not be as treasured if we saw one with every storm.

Q: Swift - toolbar follows tableview when scrolling In my UITableViewController, my toolbar follows my tableview when I scroll it. My code looks like this:
 override func viewDidLoad() {
        let toolbar: UIToolbar = UIToolbar()
        let checkButton = [UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: .Done, target: self, action: "checkedPress")]
        toolbar.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height - 46, self.view.frame.size.width, 48)
        toolbar.sizeToFit()
        toolbar.setItems(checkButton, animated: true)
        toolbar.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
        self.view.addSubview(toolbar)
    }

and it looks like this when I run the app:

I want the toolbar to stick to the bottom of the view, how is this achieved?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A: The problem is that since you're using a UITableViewController, with self.view.addSubview(toolbar), you've added your toolbar as a subview of your UITableViewController's view, i.e. a UITableView. As a subview of the UITableView, the toolbar will scroll along with the table.
The solution: Use a UIView containing a UITableView instead of using a UITableViewController if you'd like to customize your view controller. That way you can add elements to the view that aren't subviews of your tableview.

A: You can also embed your TableViewController in a Navigation Controller and show from the storyboard or programmatically a Toolbar. This one also standard sticks to the bottom and stays on top of the Views content and you have some functionality to hide it automatically on some conditions.

You don't have to use your Navigation controller always for navigating, sometimes its a convenient way for doing stuff Xcode makes hard to use without changing your already made Views.

We were discussing the invasion of the gigantic fungi as a result of chem-trails and consequent heavy raining, when we stumbled upon this gigantic Malva. It was significantly larger anything else, growing around it. The site was magnificent, but, somewhat. repulsive. I'll let you judge for yourselves.
West Hartford, Connecticut, USA. September 2011.


So, I've started my Christmas shopping.
Sometimes, to make small talk with the cashiers at stores, I'll say "I'm so excited I found this! My ____ will love it." Their response?
I mean, if I were psychotic enough to pick up Christmas gifts in July or something (don't put it past me) that'd be kinda weird. That would warrant a weird eyebrow raise and look from the cashier ringing up my novelty gifts.
But it's October. Late October. Halloween's on Monday (can you believe it?) and that means November is on Tuesday. So obviously, I'm only like, a month and a half early.
Read: not "awfully" early. Just early. Is that a problem?
The problem with early Christmas shopping is that you either forget what you bought someone so you accidentally go overboard on them, feeling guilty because you think you neglected them, or you change your mind about the gifts you've already purchased because you find something even better.
The latter would be my situation today.
I always forget about Ross. I don't know why, I just do.
But I stopped in today and found like, ten million things to get my two best friends and my mom. But I was kind of annoyed that I'd already purchased some stuff for the best friends in question. So now I have to make returns and go back to Ross to buy their rightful "new" presents.
Shopping is so hard sometimes.
But someone has to do it. Someone brave, unafraid of long lines, frustrated cashiers and unnecessary returns.
In unrelated news, my family and I, while not a single sliver of Mexican or Spanish, celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. Ever since I was little, our house has had little skeleton trinkets or sugar skulls, and I have taken a serious love for them.
And guess what? Day of the Dead is next week!! So I thought I'd be early (NOT awfully so) and make some amazing dessert for the upcoming celebrations.
Even if you don't celebrate Day of the Dead, you MUST MUST MUST make these awesome So-Easy Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars. As the name implies, they're so easy, or muy facile, if you're feeling spicy.
If you're unfamiliar with a sopapilla, it is a fried dough coated in cinnamon sugar and served with honey on the side, available at most Mexican restaurants. As a kid, my parents would take us to a local hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Coco Loco and we always ordered multiple orders of sopapillas after dinner–they're a must! So after spotting this recipe on both Cookies and Cups and Pillsbury, I knew I had to make them for Dia de Los Muertos… and because I'd be stupid not to.
Don't give me a quizzical, semi-scared look–I know what you're thinking: Cheesecake? But cheesecake is so hard to make! You need a spring form pan and a water bath and the perfect temperature in your oven and blah blah blah.
No water bath. No spring form pan. Maybe the perfect temperature. But otherwise, this recipe is freakin' fool-proof. It starts with packaged crescent rolls. Packaged cream cheese. Cinnamon sugar. And butter–lots of it. Then it's baked in a 9×13″ pan, one which you have at home.
I'm always looking out for you. You can thank me later–preferably after you've engorged your face with this wonderful invention.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13×9″ inch pan with cooking spray (I used a metal pan, but glass works as well).
2. Press one container of crescent rolls into the bottom of your pan in one flat sheet. Press the perforations and seams together to seal. This is your bottom crust.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1 cup of the white sugar, and vanilla until creamy, about 2 minutes. Spread cream cheese mixture over the bottom crust in an even layer.
4. Top the cream cheese mixture with the second package of crescent rolls, again sealing the seams and perforations by pinching the dough together. (One quick tip is to pre-seal it on your counter before placing it on top of the cream cheese–makes it easier and less messy).
5. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar and the 1 T cinnamon until blended. Pour the melted butter over the top crust, and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture–load it on there! Bake approximately 30 minutes, until golden brown. Allow cheesecake bars to cool about 30 minutes-1 hr on the counter, then place in the fridge to finish cooling and set before cutting into bars. Store covered in fridge.
I really can't think of a better way to celebrate Day of the Dead than eating Jessica's freakin' spectacular Chicken Enchilada Spaghetti (extra cilantro, please!) for dinner and these cheesecake bars for dessert. Genius.
Stay tuned for another Day of the Dead recipe coming later this week, and a new Halloween cooking video (our last H'Ween video for the year, waaah) by Friday!
I hope you don't mind my constant commenting on here. I now get the email updates…so dangerous but definitely a healthy addiction. Love the early Christmas shopping dear. I was actually thinking of beginning mine too this next week. The cheesecake looks delicious!! What a great recipe. I am going to need to give it a shot.
Jenni, so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks so much!!


Before describing these new contact lenses, let's talk about how things were before. More precisely, though, it isn't really "before". These things are still on the market.
To heal cuts and other wounds, doctors apply a bandage. But how does this relate to the eye?
When the cornea is damaged, they use a bioplastic that consists of amniotic fluid.
Such a "bandage" requires surgery, though, because it attaches to the conjunctiva.
Australian scientists discovered a better method. They've presented a contact lens that does the same thing but does not require surgery.
Aside from that, the usual material often lacks donor material, transfer, etc. All of this is expensive. And the result, needless to say, isn't always brilliant.
The new lenses consist of cells with healing properties.
Scientists covered scleral lenses with these cells. It's like a prosthesis for the ocular surface and placed on the sclera. That is, they are not applied directly to the eyeball; between the bandage and cornea there is a layer of tear moisture.
They make the new lenses in a few hours and are compatible with various injuries, including chronic ones. Corneal ulcers, for example.
CONTACT LENSES FOR THE HOME MEDICINE CABINET?
Such lenses can be used in the very early stages of treatment for injuries from burns, chemicals, and the like. In the near future, you might include these lenses in first-aid kits.
Moreover, they seem to be better than stem cells, which we don't know as much about as we'd like.
We've got three more years, at best. There will be clinical trials and other stages, so it's a long way from invention to patient.
In general, there's a boom in the contact lens industry. There are lenses for colorblind people, recording video, "chameleons", and more. More about that later. Let's also not forget that ordinary contacts have side effects and aren't appropriate for everyone. Universally perfect things do not exist. Read up on the details here.

My Life -- From Mafia Soldier to Cocaine Cowboy to Secret Government Asset
November 21, 2011 Dapper_Don
Jon Roberts was a made man, a drug smuggler, a killer. He hobnobbed with OJ Simpson and Ed Sullivan, rubbed shoulders with Pablo Escobar and Carlo Gambino, and made enemies out of John Gotti and Ronald Reagan.
He tortured college students for fun, helped snuff-out "mob accountant" Meyer Lansky's stepson and admits to brutalizing his ex-girlfriend with a belt when she tried to leave him. He flooded the country with cocaine in the 1980s.
Regrets? He has none.
"So would you call yourself a psychopath?" The Post asked him on Friday.
"Well, that depends on how you define psychopath," Roberts said.
"A lack of empathy or remorse."
"Well, then, yes I am," he said. "I enjoyed my life. How many other people lived the life I did? Maybe that Bernie guy, but who else?"
A new disturbing but intensely enthralling as-told-to memoir, "American Desperado," co-written and vetted by "Generation Kill" author Evan Wright, gets deep inside the head of a lifelong criminal.
While the book is littered with famous names -- a testament to what Wright refers to as his place as the "Forrest Gump of crime and depravity" -- there are also passages so dark and violent that you wonder how a man this sinister can sleep at night.
One example is his blithe advice about how to dispose of a body: "Smash the teeth in with a hammer, and sprinkle these in the water. Then take a sharp knife -- like a fillet for fish -- and cut the body from a--hole up to the solar plexus. The guts will pop out like Jiffy Pop."
"In a lot of other books, they take these monstrous people and they edit down and shave off the rough edges," Wright said. "I tried to render him as accurately as possible, as the frightening, monstrous person he is."
To be fair, Roberts didn't have much of a shot at normalcy.
In 1955, when Roberts (who was born John Riccobono in The Bronx) was 7 years old, his father, a made man in the Gambino crime family, took him to New Jersey. A car blocked their passageway on a bridge.
"I'll take care of this," his father said, pulling out a gun.
"I saw him take it out of his waistband and say something to the man in the car. Then he pushed his gun into the window."
Bam, bam, bam.
The scene instilled in him his father's philosophy: "The evil path is the strong path because evil is stronger than good."
He lived a large portion of his life upholding his father's credo.
Two years later, his illegal-alien father was deported to Italy, leaving him with an abused mother and an abusive stepfather.
In his early teens, he joined a gang of kids called the Outsiders who mainly robbed wealthy college students, focusing on the amateur campus drug dealers.
"We'd strip the guy naked, tie him to a chair, gag him and beat him. I didn't say a word. Just beat, beat, beat," he writes.
He likened the feeling of robbing to sex. "You get an orgasm. You get a high," he said.
"They were weaker, and I was above them. I got off on that."
In 1965, at 17, he was arrested and charged with attempted murder and kidnapping. He was taken to Manhattan's Detention Center, called "The Tombs," and claims that military recruiters offered him an out. "If you join the Army, we'll erase your criminal history."
And it was during his two tours in Vietnam that he really became sadistic.
"The first time I killed someone, I was paid by the government," he said. "That's a kick, right?"
He aligned himself with a fellow soldier who was even more of a psychopath than himself and "called dibs on who got to kill which guy."
They cut Vietnamese soldier's tongues and genitalia and even skinned them alive, describing the process in grotesque detail: "Eventually the whole body slides out from the skin."
He was injured in an explosion in 1968 and returned to New York at the age of 20 with a metal plate in his head. By the second day back, he was already helping his uncle with his loansharking business. His idea to run the city's wildly popular nightclubs captured the attention of boss Carlo Gambino.
Under the Gambino auspices, Roberts helped open and run clubs Salvation and Hippopotamus, where Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, John Lennon and even Ted Kennedy were regulars.
One night at Salvation, TV legend Ed Sullivan arrived and took a sip of LSD-laden punch. Roberts and friends gleefully watched Sullivan, who was virulently anti-drugs, to see how he would react.
"His face got this wild look and he grabbed at something in the air that didn't exist and began holding the walls with his hands," Roberts writes.
Roberts sent a prostitute over to the high-as-a-kite TV host to take pictures of him and blackmail him. But the plan went awry when Sullivan freaked out as the prostitute tried to remove his pants.
"He went into the corner and started crying," Roberts said. Sullivan later didn't leave his apartment for three days.
"I felt bad about that," Roberts, now 63, told The Post from his home in Hollywood, Fla. "I didn't know he was going to take the punch. I didn't intend for him to."
"Bull---t," his current wife, Noemi, an exotic dancer 30 years his junior, yelled in the background.
"Yeah, my wife says it's bull---t. It is. We knew what we were doing."
Roberts ran the nightclubs for five years until he got into trouble with the law and was implicated in the murder of a dirty New York cop. He was then ordered by his uncle to flee NYC.
But before leaving, he did one last terrible thing. When his girlfriend at the time threatened to leave him, he tied her up and beat her with a belt for hours, leaving her black and blue and terrified.
In Miami, his good criminal luck continued to follow him. "I have a light shining on me," he told The Post. He worked for a brief time as a gardener but began selling cocaine almost immediately.
"Cocaine was the drug of upward social mobility. It was his access point into the upper echelons of society," explained co-author Evan Wright.
In 1976, he hired stewardesses to fly drugs from Miami to San Francisco. That same year, he had a run-in with the most famous running back of all time, OJ Simpson.
When the Buffalo Bills were playing Miami, "The Juice" came over to Roberts' house for a pick-me-up.
"Even though all of us were doing coke, OJ went beyond. He was a coke fiend. He was crazed," the book says.
But one night wasn't enough. OJ kept coming back unannounced and would stay for days.
"Suddenly I'm his babysitter. The easiest thing was to put him in the guest room and bring in a bunch of hookers," Roberts said.
This went on for days, until Roberts realized that OJ had a game the next day. "Look, man, don't you got to practice with your team? Isn't there a curfew?" asked Roberts.
"Curfew?" Simpson said. "I'm OJ. I do anything I want."
Nothing was off-limits; the Pittsburgh Stealers in 1980 partied with Roberts the night before winning the Super Bowl. During that time, "Anything was possible in my world," Roberts said. "I went from being the coke guy to the rich coke guy to just the rich guy."
He formed a relationship with Fabio Ochoa, whose family founded the Columbian Medellin cocaine cartel, and soon after began moving the drugs via airplanes and boats. He then met Max Mermelstein, a New York hustler who put him in direct contact with Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Meanwhile, he partnered up with Mickey Munday, a skilled pilot, who oversaw the missions back and forth from Columbia.
At the height of his trafficking business, Roberts brought in 4,000 kilos of cocaine a month. The feds say that Roberts smuggled in $2 billion worth of cocaine -- other estimates put this figure at $16 billion.
Roberts couldn't tell you exactly how much. But he did say, "I had built an empire. And that was the most defining thing I've ever done. That's what gave me the greatest feeling."
"I went from robbing people to making $3 [million] to $5 million a trip," he added.
But the "good times" had to end eventually.
By September 1986 -- after 10 years in the cocaine business -- the feds took him down at his home in a raid involving 200 agents. His cohort Mermelstein had snitched on him.
By some stroke of luck, the feds allowed Roberts to post $10 million bail, enabling him to skip town to Mexico. He ended up in a Mexican jail shortly after a woman (who he says was jealous that he was sleeping with her sister) saw him on Mexico's version of "America's Most Wanted."
Roberts claims he was a fugitive for less than a year before getting picked up by agents in Florida (which means he spent eight years in jail). But Wright, who vetted Roberts' story, says that he spent five years on the lam and only three years in jail because of his cooperation that helped convict other people in the drug world.
But just because he got off, that doesn't mean he's off the hook. Two years ago, Roberts was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer that has metastasized to other organs. He says that he knows he will die soon.
"A lot of bad guys die of cancer, Gotti died of throat cancer," he said.
He claims that he doesn't worry about suffering; instead his focus is on his 11-year-old son, who is, coincidentally, around the same age as Roberts was when his father left the country.
"I couldn't imagine a more horrible thing than my son not having his father," Roberts said. "I worry he's going to want to bring drugs into the country like his daddy did."
Does this caring, even in a small degree, nullify his previous actions?
"My portrait of a sociopath through Jon shows that people aren't all one way or another," Wright said. "He has a grain of humanity."
And that ability to transform into a charming guy is "what is most scary about him."

The development team consists of two divisions: Planning Division and Building Division. Both divisions are involved in a wide range of physical planning and development review activities (see Development Review Guide). Please contact us if you have any questions about planning or the development review process.
The Planning Services Division reviews annexations, street vacations, rezoning requests, conditional use permits and subdivisions of land. The division also works to develop and maintain the City's Comprehensive Plan (Master Plan). The Planning Services Division also provides staff support for the Plan Commission, City Council, Sustainable Janesville Committee, Janesville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and Technical and Policy Committees. In addition, staff reviews site plans to determine compliance with zoning and development code requirements. The division provides information to private developers and members of the development community conducting market analyses for clients as well as advice on site design and layout. The division maintains an excellent base of information for this purpose including neighborhood plans, aerial photographs and socio-economic/demographic data for sub-areas of the city.
The Building Division reviews all commercial and residential building plans for new construction, additions or alterations. Plans for commercial buildings containing more than 50,000 cubic feet must be signed and sealed by a licensed architect or engineer. The City is certified to review all plumbing plans except for State-owned buildings and some types of medical facilities. Division staff schedule meetings with developers to review building, fire safety, zoning and site improvement requirements and necessary permits for new commercial projects, remodels and major additions.
Division staff is state-certified in several inspection categories to provide the staffing flexibility and timely inspections for all trades. Occupancy inspections are required when a commercial operation builds a new building, makes alterations or additions to their existing building, relocates to a different location, changes ownership, or is a new business. The division is also responsible for responding to complaints from citizens regarding certain building, zoning and code violations.
The Building and Development Services Division provides staff support for the City Council, Historic Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals. In addition, staff reviews site plans to determine compliance with zoning and development code requirements. The division provides information to private developers and members of the development community conducting market analyses for clients as well as advice on site design and layout. Building permit time frames range from three to four weeks depending on the completeness of the plans and if they are brought to City staff in a timely manner. A "conceptual meeting" with city staff is recommended before architectural plans have been developed. This can be arranged through the economic development office. Although the City of Janesville adheres to the International Building Code, staff can often provide input and creative solutions to significantly speed up processing times.

Screenshots: Five excellent Windows defrag tools
By Brien Posey · August 26, 2015, 7:38 AM PST
The Windows operating system has included defragmentation capabilities for decades. Yet there are lots of third-party applications that include features not found in native Windows tools. This article lists five commercial defrag apps.
Note: This gallery is also available as an article.
Image: iStockphoto.com/bmelofo
PerfectDisk Professional
PerfectDisk Professional is a tool for defragmenting the hard disks on Windows PCs. It allows you to perform defragmentation at boot time, on a scheduled basis, or manually. It also gives enables you to prevent auto optimization from occurring during specific periods of time.
As a bonus, PerfectDisk displays your hard disk's SMART information and includes a nice dashboard view that consolidates status information, SMART information, scheduled tasks, and alerts.
PerfectDisk Professional sells for $29.99, but a free trial version is available for download.
Ashampoo Magical Defrag
Ashampoo Magical Defrag includes all the features you would expect from a commercial defrag application. It performs deep analysis of your system's hard disks and automated defragmentation. Unlike some defragmentation applications, however, Magical Defrag is SSD aware—which is important, since old school defragmentation can shorten the life of an SSD.
The other cool thing about this application is that it includes a screensaver that uses a world map view to show the machine's defragmentation status. The screen saver is a little bit tough to explain, but it is worth a look.
Ashampoo Magical Defrag sells for $14.99, but a free trial is available for download.
O&O Defrag Professional Edition
O&O Defrag Professional Edition has a built-in cluster inspector and an option to optimize thin provisioning. The application also features a built-in reporting engine.
O&O Defrag Professional Edition sells for $29.95, but a free trial version is available for download.
UltimateDefrag Freeware Edition
UltimateDefrag Freeware Edition is a handy defragmentation program. The cool thing about UltimateDefrag is that it allows you to choose the type of defragmentation you want to perform.
UltimateDefrag lets you defragment files only, perform a consolidated defragmentation, or base defragmentation on filename and folder name, recency, or volatility.
WinUtilities Free Edition
WinUtilities Free Edition is another good option for those who don't want to use the native Windows defragmentation feature. The thing that makes WinUtilities different from the other defragmentation tools on this list is that it comprises an entire suite of utilities, not just a defragmenter.
WinUtilities includes a disk cleaner, a registry cleaner, and an uninstaller, just to name a few. Note that the free version contains only basic utilities, while the paid version contains enhanced utilities.
