I Don't Want That Ryan Opposes Trump Working With Democrats On Obamacare - Duration: 3:17.
I Don't Want That Ryan Opposes Trump Working With Democrats On Obamacare
by Tyler Durden
With House Republicans said to make another push to pass Obamacare, perhaps as soon as
next week according to a Bloomberg report, some have speculated whether Trump will engage
democrats this time to assure at least a few votes from across the aisle.
Overnight, however, House Speaker Paul Ryan poured cold water on the idea, saying he does
not want President Donald Trump to work with Democrats on overhauling Obamacare.
In an interview with "CBS This Morning" that will air on Thursday and which was previewed
by Reuters, Ryan said he fears the Republican Party, which failed last week to come together
and agree on a healthcare overhaul, is pushing the president to the other side of the aisle
so he can make good on campaign promises to redo Obamacare.
"I don't want that to happen," Ryan said, referring to Trump's offer to work with Democrats.
Carrying out those reforms with Democrats is "hardly a conservative thing," Ryan said,
according to released interview excerpts.
"I don�t want government running health care.
The government shouldn�t tell you what you must do with your life, with your healthcare,"
he said.
On Tuesday, Trump told senators attending a White House reception that he expected lawmakers
to reach a deal "very quickly" on healthcare, but he did not offer specifics.
"I think it's going to happen because we've all been promising - Democrat, Republican
- we've all been promising that to the American people," he said.
Trump said after the failure of the Republican plan last week that Democrats, none of whom
supported the bill, would be willing to negotiate new healthcare legislation because Obamacare
is destined to "explode."
Meanwhile, speaking to Bloomberg, two Republicans said that leaders are discussing holding a
new Obamacare repeal vote next week.
The ray of hope for Trump and Ryan is that members of the Freedom Caucus, which was instrumental
in derailing the bill, have been talking with some Republican moderate holdouts in an effort
to identify changes that could bring them on board with the measure.
A renewed attempt to pass Obamacare repeal would come after President Trump and Republican
leaders in Congress said they would move on to issues like a tax overhaul in the wake
of last week�s drama, when the long-awaited bill was pulled 30 minutes ahead of a scheduled
floor vote.
Asked if the GOP health bill will come up again, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
said, "Yes.
As soon as we figure it out and get the votes."
Quoted by Bloomberg, Kevin McCarthy said nothing is currently scheduled and didn�t indicate
how leadership would resolve divisions between the Freedom Caucus and moderates in the so-called
Tuesday Group.
"Lot of people are talking," he said.
"Lot of people are working."
For now, it is nothing but noise.

The Real Reason We Don't Hear About Tonya Harding Anymore - Duration: 5:51.
Ask anyone who is old enough to remember when star figure skater Nancy Kerrigan's right
knee was struck with a "blunt object," and they could tell you a million stories about
the woman accused of being involved in the attack, former rival Tonya Harding.
But how much could they tell you about what happened to Harding in the years since?
Probably not a whole lot, as that's a name you only hear about once every four years
when the winter Olympics rolls around.
What has the former U.S. National champion been up to in the years since her figure-skating
scandal captivated the world?
Here's why you don't hear much from the disgraced athlete anymore.
The Kerrigan scandal
Although Harding has maintained her innocence for more than 20 years, her alleged involvement
in the 1994 attack on competitor Kerrigan and the media frenzy that followed devastated
her career, especially once people involved in the conspiracy started to sing like birds
about the grisly details of what her former husband had planned against Kerrigan.
"They asked me if I would be willing to cut the Achilles tendon.
You know, I said no I think that's a little drastic."
In July 1994, the U.S. Figure Skating Association voted to strip her of the gold medal she won
at the U.S. National Championships and ban her for life from the association.
That meant she could no longer compete in an event sanctioned by the federation or serve
as a sanctioned coach.
A few weeks later, Harding was hit with three year's probation, a hefty fine, and a community
service sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution.
The four remaining defendants accused in the act were each sentenced to prison, including
her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, who received a two-year sentence.
By that point, one thing remained crystal clear: Harding's career as a figure skater
was pretty much over.
Consistently inconsistent
Even if you remove the drama from the Kerrigan attack, Harding's success on the ice, much
like the media attention she so often attracted, was all over the place.
It seemed every time she started to shine, something would happen to set her back from
earning legendary status.
Although she became the first American woman to land a triple axel at the 1991 U.S. National
Championships, she finished a disappointing fourth place at the Winter Olympics in Albertville
the following year.
The same held true at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, where she finished in eighth
place after a disastrous performance that included drama over an alleged broken shoelace.
Harding's personal drama was likely one of the main contributing factors to her erratic
performances at both Games.
As her former coach Dody Teachman put it, "Her problems that she had off the ice sometimes
would show up on the ice … She went from an abusive childhood to kind of an abusive
relationship [with Gillooly]."
Moving on
If you've ever wondered why Olympic athletes jump at the chance to make appearances and
land endorsement deals so soon after their Games have wrapped, it might have to do with
the fact that fame for Olympic athletes can be fleeting.
By the time the 1998 Games in Nagano rolled around, people within the world of figure
skating were worried far less about Kerrigan and Harding and much more on whether U.S.
skater Michelle Kwan would be able to keep the coveted gold medal out of the hands of
the American rival Tara Lipinski.
In other words, attention spans are short, even with the most dramatic of characters
like Harding.
Guilty in the court of public opinion
Maybe it's because she never served time in jail, or maybe it's because she always maintained
her innocence, but to this day, a cloud of guilt hangs over Harding's reputation.
Part of it surely has to do with the way media told the story; public opinion is also likely
a factor.
Harding's name will always be associated with scandal, and a certain group of people will
always think she did it, and she's become the butt of many pop culture jokes.
"Mission accomplished.
I did him Tonya Harding style, with a HAH! HAH! And a kick!"
For what it's worth, Harding still thinks she was the victim because the press and Kerrigan
herself weren't very kind to her in the fallout.
"For her to treat me like that, like I was nothing.
Like she was above me.
I mean That was... rude."
A disastrous comeback
In 2002, Harding was one of a handful of low-grade celebrities who competed on the FOX reality
series Celebrity Boxing.
For her match, she battled and won against Paula Jones, the government employee who sued
President Bill Clinton in 1994 for sexual harassment.
That should give you a pretty good idea of what the quality of the show and the subsequent
reviews were like.
On the bright, if ironic, side: Harding wound up competing in a number of professional boxing
matches afterward, she finished with a 3-3 professional record, which isn't very good
at all.
Harding revealed that while pugilism wasn't a full-on secondary career for her, it did
help to keep the lights on for a while.
A low-key lifestyle
She may no longer be competing on the ice, but Harding seems to have found some peace
and happiness by living a much quieter life.
In 2010, she married Washington native Joseph Price; the following year, they had a son.
She now resides in Oregon, where she's made ends meet by working on cars and doing landscaping
work and takes comfort in the fact that she still holds at least one positive piece of
history.
"It's part of history that will always be with us.
But I'm also noted as the one and only American woman that did the first triple axel."
But her story lives on
Harding might now regard the scandal that plagued her career as a minor blemish in her
life story, but it still remains prime fodder for explosive drama, which is why A-list actress
Margot Robbie is set to play her in an upcoming biopic.
This all goes to show: you may not see or hear much from Harding anymore, but you'll
certainly continue hearing her story for years to come, and it'll probably revolve around
the same narrative.
"She's the princess and I'm a pile of crap."

-------------------------------------------
The Real Reason We Don't Hear From Seth Green Anymore - Duration: 6:27.
Seth Green is barely in his 40s, but he's been entertaining audiences for more than
30 years.
He started as a child actor in the '80s, with work on TV shows like Tales from the Darkside
and The Facts of Life, along with movies like Can't Buy Me Love and Woody Allen's Radio
Days.
But he truly became a star in the '90s, appearing in classics like Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
the Austin Powers movies,
"But…"
"Shh"
"I'm…"
"Shh"
"All I'm sayin…"
"Shh"
and Family Guy, providing the voice of true idiot Chris Griffin.
In the late '90s and early 2000s, it seemed like Green was in every cool thing that came
out…but he seems to be missing in action lately.
Here's what he's been up to in recent years.
"This is gonna be awesome!"
Robot Chicken
Stop-motion animation is extremely grueling, time-intensive work.
But it's a labor of love for Green, who's been churning out episodes of Robot Chicken
on Adult Swim for more than a decade.
He writes, produces, directs, animates, and voice-acts on the show, for which he's won
two Emmy Awards.
It's basically a sketch comedy show for and by nerds, making fun of movies, TV, superheroes,
comics, and cartoons via very short stop-motion and claymation sketches.
Green has also spearheaded a few specially themed episodes, targeting things like DC
Comics villains and Star Wars.
"You… don't want to get caught in one…"
"Small claims court?"
"No!"
"Ahh!
What was it?"
In 2016, the show won the award for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program for its 2015 Christmas
special, beating juggernauts such as Adventure Time, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Steven Universe.
So if you're wondering why you haven't seen Green on camera, it's because he's been spending
a lot of time playing with toys.
Voice over work
While a lot of actors supplement their careers with voice work, or fall back on it when offers
for onscreen roles aren't as plentiful, Green has always done a ton of voice acting — starting
when he was a teenager, on the syndicated cartoon "The Comic Strip" segment - entitled
Karate Kat.
He of course has lent his vocal chops to hundreds of characters on his show Robot Chicken, from
original characters to celebrity impressions.
Of course, his voice has also appeared in more than 200 episodes of Family Guy since
1999.
He's got an impressive vocal résumé, in other words, and he's highly sought after.
Green provided the voice of Rocket Raccoon for episodes of both Avengers Assemble and
Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
And that memorable Howard the Duck cameo in the post-credits sequence of Guardians of
the Galaxy?
"Why do you let it lick you like that for?
Gross."
That was Seth Green.
He can also be heard as Leonardo in Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot.
Basically, he's a king of cartoons.
Secret Star Wars series
There's an unaired Star Wars TV series that already has more than three dozen episodes
produced.
Called Star Wars: Detours, it's an animated comedy set in the Star Wars universe.
Producers wisely signed up Green, who's both a notable voice actor and, as the many Star
Wars sketches on Robot Chicken prove, a huge fan.
The problem with Detours?
Disney.
According to Green, there are "39 finished episodes and around 62 finished scripts."
But it was made before Disney bought LucasFilm and decided to make more Star Wars movies.
Green, who plays none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi in the series, says it's "on hold," but that
it might actually likely come out now that a couple new Star Wars movies have been released.
Bombed sitcom
Meanwhile, Green doesn't always hide behind clay, action figures, and comic book characters.
He attempted to return to regular live-action acting work in 2013, starring on Fox's three-camera
sitcom Dads.
Created by two writers from one of Green's other shows, Family Guy, and produced by Family
Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, Dads was largely loathed by critics.
The series, about two friends who run a video game company and take in their elderly fathers,
was called a "racist, sexist, unfunny disgrace" by BuzzFeed, and "the worst new comedy of
the fall" by E! Online.
Audiences stayed away, too — it finished the 2013-14 season at #111 in the ratings.
It performed so poorly that Fox cut back its initial order of 22 episodes to 19…before
canceling it entirely.
Cartoon creator
In addition to controlling the Robot Chicken universe, Green has his hands in multiple
cartoons.
Since Green is a big pro wrestling fan — he even once hosted the Slammy Awards — WWE
chairman Vince McMahon approached Green when he had an idea for an animated show: Camp
WWE.
It's set at a summer camp, where McMahon is the director and WWE stars past and present
are counselors and campers alike — except they're, like, little kids.
Green created and produces the show and some of the Wrestler Babies are portrayed by the
wrestlers themselves, including Sgt.
Slaughter and Ric Flair.
When he's not producing for WWE, he's an executive producer on SuperMansion.
It's a show about a once-mighty superhero collective whose members are getting old and
their powers aren't quite what they used to be.
Appearing on Crackle, it features the amazing voice talent of Bryan Cranston and Keegan-Michael
Key.
Wedding bells
In 2007, Green was signing autographs for an event at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles
while Clare Grant, a filmmaker and actress who's also part of the web video collective
Team Unicorn, was there to take photographs.
They met again at Comic-Con and realized how much they had in common — they liked the
same geeky TV shows, comic books, and toys, and put in the same elaborate order at In-N-Out
Burger.
Green says they really fell in love during a two-week Robot Chicken touring roadshow.
They had their wedding in May 2010 and their reception was decked out with action figures
for every guest to take home.
Ah, what sweet nerd love.
What's next for Seth Green
Green seems to be content, and rightfully so, with cranking out Robot Chicken and Family
Guy episodes until somebody tells him to stop.
Plus, he still surprises TV viewers by getting out in front of the camera on occasion.
He's also been cast in the highly anticipated movie, A Futile & Stupid Gesture, the story
of Doug Kenney, co-founder of the highly influential National Lampoon magazine in the '70s and
the generation of comedy stars it created.
Looks like Green only accepts the coolest projects of the decade.

Lesson 47 - Don Quijote's descent into the Cave of Montesinos - Duration: 7:16.
Hello and welcome back
We see the frivolity of the humanist's interests during conversations on the road to Montesinos.
His main project, which he also calls "my book of Transformations," is a burlesque
It contains allegorical stories about the origins of Spanish natural and architectural
wonders, including some we have already seen: the Giralda of Seville, the Bulls of Guisando,
and even the Sierra Morena.
His other project is a supplement to the Italian humanist Polydore Vergil's famous book on
the origins of things published in 1499.
The cousin's attention to the origins of things overlooked by his precursor makes for
humorous dialogue.
For example, he plans to declare who first contracted a cold and who first used mercury
cream to cure syphilis: "who was the first man on earth to catch a cold, and the first
to use ointments to cure himself of the French disease."
SP comically suggests that he include Adam as the first man to scratch his head, because
he was the first man and he had a head, and then Lucifer as the world's first acrobat,
because when he was thrown out of Heaven: "he came tumbling down into the abyss."
The cousin and SP are mocking the rhetorical exercises of humanists and scholastics.
The Cave of Montesinos episode imitates a common event in classical epic known as katabasis,
a descent into underworld, found in Homer, Virgil, and Dante.
The term also means a voyage down to the coast, as in the opening scene of Plato's Republic.
DQ descends into the cave, but he also seeks access to the coast.
Later, he will end up in Barcelona, and here he tries to explain the origin of the nearby
Lakes of Ruidera, thought to be fed by the Guadiana River, which flows into the Atlantic
at the border with Portugal.
Of course, Freudian critics also love this episode.
As we approach the Cave of Montesinos, Cervantes ridicules intellectual quests for knowledge;
but he also sets the stage for DQ's encounter with the primordial past as well as with DQ's
own diabolical unconscious, his repressed desires, his id.
There's also something of an anxious return to the birth canal here.
The opening of the cave is foreboding: "they arrived at the cave, which had a wide and
spacious mouth, although it was covered with thick and intricate brambles, wild figs, blackberries,
and brushes."
DQ is tied to a long rope, an umbilical cord, and lowered into the abyss.
Indicating anxiety about the origins of Spain, DQ quotes from a ballad about the Reconquista
siege of Granada: "this kind of venture, Sancho my friend, was reserved for me alone."
He also makes a curious comment about having forgotten to bring "some small cow bell"
to mark his position.
Recall the bell on Eugenio's "spotted she-goat" in DQ 1.50.
Cervantes builds suspense magnificently.
DQ evokes God and Dulcinea as he approaches "the abyss," "the chasm," "the mouth
of the cave," and suddenly there come flying out "crows and ravens" and "nocturnal
birds, such as bats."
The descent is both eerie and hilarious, like a scene from Poe.
The cousin and SP lower DQ using the entire rope, "one hundred spans" or about 170 meters.
They wait half an hour and pull him out.
Strangely, they do not sense DQ on the other end of the rope: "they went and pulled up
the rope with great ease and no weight on it at all, which caused them to imagine that
Don Quijote had remained within."
But then, "reaching, it seemed to them, a little more than eighty spans, they felt a weight."
If we do the math, twenty "spans" were simply slack and DQ must have touched the
bottom of the cave at eighty "spans."
Finally, at
ten "spans" or seventeen meters, SP sees DQ and yells down to him: "Your grace is
most welcome back, my lord, for we were thinking that you were going to remain down there and
start a family."
Hilariously, however, when they take him out, DQ is sleeping: "his eyes were closed, with
indications of being asleep," and it takes them some time to wake him up.
Then they spread the cousin's multicolored saddle cloth "on the green grass" and
eat a big meal together: "they supped and dined all at once."
Meals are meaningful in DQ, especially this one, which follows so closely that of Camacho's
failed wedding.
They then refold the saddle cloth and sit on the grass to discuss what has happened.
Note DQ's insistence that the Cave of Montesinos is not an "inferno."
This suggests that the episode alludes to Protestantism's rejection of the existence
of Purgatory (cf. Sullivan on DQ and Greenblatt on Hamlet).
That´s all for now. Please, tune in and watch our next video.

Snakehips On MØ Collaboration and The Meaning Behind Don't Leave - Duration: 2:45.
Our new single is called "Don't Leave" and it
features Mo, she's like one of our favorite
singers about at the moment and we kinda been
into her stuff for ages.
Yeah we're big fans.
Yeah, all of the stuff she's done in the last
couple years has been really cool.
And yeah we just had, we kinda had this basic idea
for the song like at the end of last year and it
just kinda sounded like it would really suit her
voice so we just kinda reached out.
We kinda met her, actually, around the same
time as well.
At festival yeah
At this festival in the UK
And yeah we just got working on it, she really liked
the idea and we ended up just kind of sending
things back and forth until it like came to what it was.
It's definitely more of like a story.
It tells more of a story than our other songs.
It's a big more of a like, it's like a kind of love
story about like this troubled relationship
I guess and it's all like "Ya know I may not be
perfect but ya know, we good"
[Laughing]
But yeah it's kind of like, it's kind of...I feel like it's
quite relatable.
It's really honest and it's like, it's kind of sad but...
Uplifting as well...
The music video, we wanted it to be a lot more
narrative and really go with the lyrics and fit
the story and yeah Mo stars in it, she was awesome.
But yeah I think it kinda shows her like boyfriend...
Cheating' on her...
Playin around....
Playin' the field.
And then she gets pissed off and then she's like
shouting at him at the end of the video, it sort of climaxes.
What's the outcome though?
I don't know what the outcome is.
We don't know...does he take her back,
does she take him back?
I think it was kinda un...you don't know what's
gonna happen.
It's like "No one's gonna love you better than me
but what are you gonna do man?
[Laughing]
Potentially
Potentially, we kinda like, we finished
off a whole bunch of stuff and we're just kind of
figuring out what the best way to put it out is.
Whether we wanna do like a album or if we just wanna
put out tracks, I dunno.
We're just gonna see how we feel.
There's like loads of cool people that we've been
working with.
[Laughing]
We are gonna leave you with that.
But we got some cool stuff coming soon so...
We'll give you one letter and then you have three
guesses to guess who it is.
Yeah, but you still only collectively have three guesses.
Okay so...D
No
No
No
[Laughing]
That's all your getting.
That's all you get.
