USA news on Youtube Jun 6 2018

It's a great day!

This is America!

I have come out of my host's place. It's been three to four days since I arrived in Boston.

Things are going pretty good.

In the past few days, I slept, ate and talked to people from different parts of the world.

And travelled. Nothing too special though.

This is a town near America's historical city, Boston.

Weymouth is the name of this town.

Big thanks to my host, Richard!

I have bought a microphone. Had received complaints regarding audio.

I have also changed my camera. Right now I'm using Go Pro Hero 6 which is the most advanced camera among the Go Pro series.

From there ahead, I'll get my bus.

With this new Go Pro camera, I bought this microphone.

I'll share the links to all these in the description section.

So that you can easily buy them without any hassle.

If you buy through those links then in a way you'll be helping me as well.

To attach the mic to the Go Pro camera, you need an adapter.

But the problem is, the adapter is quite heavy and almost the same size of the camera. It's getting even hard for the gimbal to handle them both together.

This isn't good. But can't really help it.

Have a lot to share. For now, I'll get my bus from there cause it's the main road.

This is how tickets are validated in the buses.

Blogging is easier here. Nobody is looking at me.

I'm going to reach the place from where I'll get the metro to go ahead.

After Boston, I'll head to New York by hitchhiking.

Let's see how this month-long trip goes for me.

I'm now going to catch a metro which is called subway here.

I'll travel through the red line.

As soon as I arrived in Boston, I bought the Charlie Ticket. Let's talk more about it.

I had prior information about this route before I left.

All thanks to Google Maps. It is amazing!

It's being announced that the next train will be arriving in 5 minutes.

This is Boston's public transport system. It's marvellous!

In comparison to India, it's a bit expensive.

But as per the American standards, it is pretty good.

Some cities in the USA are amazing in terms of public transport.

Boston is one of them. New York is also really good.

MBTA operates buses, subway, ferries and commuter rail.

This pass is valid for 7 days.

There is a magnetic strip at the bottom.

You just need to insert it and the machine reads it automatically.

If you plan to visit Boston, I'll recommend buying this ticket.

Here, the metro looks like this.

I know, many people might be wondering how I'm able to record while sitting inside the metro.

There is no where written that it's prohibited.

I am just doing my work.

The person beside me is busy reading and the old man in front of me is busy reading a newspaper.

So this is how the American society looks like.

Which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

They are just not bothered by your presence.

This is definitely better than unwanted interferences like that in India or other countries.

But it is also wrong if you're in need and can't really speak.

People won't take the trouble of starting a conversation.

I'm near to the very famous MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

If you're an engineering student, you might very well know what MIT is.

Look there, a big Coca-Cola truck.

This area is called Cambridge.

I'll sit here for some time.

A very helpful friend of mine, Rahul who lives in Atlanta recommended me Chipotle for vegetarian food. It is a Mexican food chain.

Only the architecture makes Boston different. Because there are so many Indians here. I also met many of them.

Recently, I met a gentleman from Lucknow. I think I forgot his name.

I'm still facing difficulties in understanding the traffic here.

It was the red signal. I should have moved faster. Should I run?

Let's run!

9 seconds still left.

I've made it!

I am going to buy a travel adapter from here for 10 USD.

I had come here before. So I know where it will be.

Here is the mobile charging point!

So I'll sit here and relax for some time.

This Democrat's Career Is Over Because Of One Compromising Photo - Duration: 12:52.

This Democrat's Career Is Over Because Of One Compromising Photo

Control of Congress could come down to one race.

And the Democrats have a big problem.

A compromising photo may have just ended the career of one their most endangered incumbents.

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin is running for re-election in one of the most pro-Trump

states in the country.

So he is pulling the oldest trick in politics.

Manchin is lying to his voters at home about being a conservative, while voting the 100%

anti-Trump "resistance" line in politics.

The latest example of this was when GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted out two conflicting

photos of Manchin.

In one photo, Manchin is pledging his support for Planned Parenthood.

In the second photo, Manchin claims he "stands for life."

This isn't the first time Manchin has adopted a chameleon-like posture in his politics.

Over the summer, he professed his support to Vice President Pence for the administration's

tax cut legislation.

Of course once the bill hit the Senate floor, Manchin joined every other Democrat in voting

against the legislation that would cut taxes and help fuel the economic boom.

Politico reports:

"ON MANCHIN'S HOME SOIL LAST WEEK, PENCE LAID INTO HIM BY REPEATEDLY ASSERTING "JOE

VOTED NO" ON THE PRESIDENT'S PRIORITIES, A SHARP POLITICAL ATTACK MOTIVATED BY PENCE'S

BELIEF THAT MANCHIN HAD BROKEN HIS PROMISE, ACCORDING TO GOP LAWMAKERS WHO SPEAK WITH

PENCE REGULARLY.

PENCE'S WORDS WERE QUICKLY TURNED INTO AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR SENATE REPUBLICANS AGAINST

THE VULNERABLE DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT.

MANCHIN, MEANWHILE, IS FURIOUS THAT PENCE HAS USED THE MISUNDERSTANDING AS THE PRETEXT

TO TEAR DOWN HIS BIPARTISAN CREDENTIALS, CLAIMING HE WOULD NEVER COMMIT TO VOTE FOR A BILL THAT

HAD NOT YET BEEN WRITTEN AND THAT PENCE AND THE WHITE HOUSE NEVER REALLY TRIED TO WORK

WITH HIM.

MANCHIN BELIEVES PENCE HAS BECOME AN ATTACK DOG AGAINST HIS BIPARTISAN REPUTATION BECAUSE

THE GOP IS "AFRAID IT PLAYS TOO WELL WITH THE PUBLIC."

And – most famously – Manchin claimed to be a pro-gun conservative, but co-authored

the national gun registration database legislation Obama and Harry Reid tried to ram through

Congress after the tragedy at Newtown.

But Manchin's history of lying to voters may catch up with him.

West Virginia has turned against the Democrat Party because of their support for the climate

change hoax that will kill the state's coal industry.

Manchin is the last elected statewide Democrat in the Mountaineer State.

Will he lose his re-election in November?

Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Steve Penny: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

The former head of USA Gymnastics, who is accused of covering up sexual assault accusations made against Larry Nassar by not reporting immediately reporting them to law enforcement and by not telling other athletes and Michigan State University about the allegations, refused to answer questions before a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday.

Steve Penny, 54, was called to testify before the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security, which is looking into how USA Gymnastics handled the sexual abuse accusations against Nassar, its longtime team doctor.

Nassar was convicted of several counts of sexual assault in Michigan, along with federal child pornography charges, and is serving what is essentially a life sentence.

His attorney, Robert Bittman, said in a statement to USA Today that his client, "declined to testify before the subcommittee while the matters that attempt to wrongly shift blame for Nassar's crimes remain open," referencing lawsuits being brought against Penny, USA Gymnastics and the U.S.

Olympic Committee.

Here's what you need to know:.

After Penny Pleaded the 5th, a Former Gymnast Who Was a Victim of Abuse Yelled 'Shame' at Him as He Walked Out of the Senate Hearing.

Steve Penny pleaded the fifth and refused to give a comment or answer questions when he was summoned to appear before a Congressional subcommittee investigating the Nassar case on Tuesday.

"I would like to answer your question but I have been instructed by my attorney to assert my rights under the Fifth Amendment," Penny said during his brief appearance before the Senate subcommitte.

During the hearing, Senator Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, said to Penny, "Juries are instructed they should draw no conclusion from someone taking the Fifth but the popular impression is there's something to hide, and in many instances I think that's fair.

Penny is named in several lawsuits being brought against USA Gymnastics by the athletes abused by Nassar.

Through his lawyer, he has denied doing anything wrong.

During the hearing on Tuesday, Blumenthal said, "Each of the individuals who will testify this afternoon failed in a profoundly significant way to protect these young women.

The system failed.

There was an institutional collapse of moral and legal responsibility.".

In May 2017, Penny delayed giving a deposition in one of the sexual abuse lawsuits brought against him because he was planning to attend social functions at the Indy 500.

Penny, who had resigned from USA Gymnastics two months earlier, wanted to network at the event, his lawyer told a Los Angeles County judge, who agreed to the delay.

"Steve Penny is no longer employed," his attorney, Daniel White wrote, in a letter to his opposing counsel, according to People.

"Because of his former position, he has many contacts who will be attending Race Week.

He intends to participate in as many pre-race function as possible in an effort to connect with those who may be of some assistance in his re-employment efforts.

I can assure you he feels the need to do this is critical to the needs of his family.".

Another attorney for Penny, Edith Matthai, told the Orange County Register, "Mr Penny agreed to appear one of the dates suggested by plaintiff's counsel.

Plaintiff's counsel then filed a motion making defamatory statements about Mr Penny in an attempt to have the deposition take place at an earlier date.

That motion was denied by the court.

Yet, the motion served the plaintiff's counsel's goal to obtain negative publicity about Mr Penny and USA Gymnastics.".

He Has Been Accused of Waiting a Month to Contact Law Enforcement After Learning of the Accusations Against Nassar & of Not Notifying Michigan State University.

Penny has been accused of covering up the accusations against Larry Nassar by waiting a month to contact law enforcement.

It is also alleged that he never told Nassar's other employer, Michigan State University, about the accusations, which allowed Nassar to continue practicing medicine and seeing patients at MSU during the year it took for an investigation to be conducted.

Penny has denied any wrongdoing.

USA Gymnastics has said it didn't share the information with other gymnasts, parents or MSU because the FBI advised the organization not to intefere with the investigation, NBC News reports.

An email provided to Congress shows Penny told USA Gymnastics board members not to discuss the Nassar allegations with anyone even before the FBI got involved.

"You are instructed not to have any conversations with anyone concerning this issue until further notice," he wrote in a July 21, 2015, email.

The note was sent to board members notifying them that a lawyer was about to tell Nassar that athletes were "uncomfortable" with his procedures.

Penny didn't contact the FBI until July 27, 2015, five weeks after the first accusations were made to him about Nassar.

During the Senate hearing on Tuesday, Blumenthal told Penny, the "documents will speak for you." Blumenthal also asked a questions, which Penny did not answer, about a document that suggested Penny had concerns about Nassar in 2013 and 2014.

The email referred to a "code of silence," within the gymnastics organization, according to NBC News.

Penny Was Given a $1 Million Severance Package When He Resigned in March 2017.

Penny began working for USA Gymnastics in 1999.

He was initially a senior vice president, focusing on business development.

His role grew to encompass marketing, sponsorships, event operations, TV deals and communications.

In April 2005, Penny became the president and CEO of USA Gymnastics.

He held that position until his resignation amid the Nassar scandal in March 2017.

He has not spoken publicly about the Nassar case since stepping down.

Upon his resignation, Penny received a $1 million severance package, the Wall Street Journal reported in June 2017.

He was not fired for cause, but resigned under pressure from the U.S.

Olympic Committee, whose board had voted to recommend that Penny step down.

Sources told the WSJ, "several board members wanted Penny to remain despite lingering questions about whether the federation acted quickly enough to address allegations that its longtime team doctor, Larry Nassar, sexually abused female gymnasts for years.

Instead, a deal was reached based on approximately two years of Penny's compensation.

These people said terms were confidential.".

Tax records showed Penny earned more than $557,000 in 2014, including a base salary of $395,577, and then received $628,445, in 2015, including a base salary of $460,078.

USA Gymnastics said in a statement its board, "accepted his resignation and the organization is moving forward.

Employment-related information is confidential except for financial matters when reported in public tax filings.".

On Tuesday, John Manly, an attorney for many of Nassar's victims, said in a statement about Penny's silence, "He used intimidation tactics and a non-disclosure agreement to bully and silence Nassar's victims.

He was given a one-million-dollar golden handshake by USAG when he was forced to resign.

Now he lacks the common decency to cooperate with a U.S.

Senate committee that is trying to protect young athletes from sexual predators.".

He Grew Up in Washington & Graduated From the University of Washington in 1987.

Penny grew up in Mercer Island, Washington, and graduated from Mercer Island High School.

He then went on to graduate from the University of Washington in 1987 with a degree in speech and communications.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said on Sunday there may be a need for

Google to testify after the company's search engine showed results linking Republicans

to "Nazism."

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, the California Republican framed the issue as one in which

tech monopolies "should be reined in" and called for a new search engine to compete

against Google that doesn't "censor" conservatives.

"I think there's a free market solution here if somebody can compete with Google.

If they can't, then ultimately we're looking at monopolies and then that brings in a whole

other set of circumstances is — are these companies; Facebook, Twitter, Google, apple,

etc.; are they monopolies and should they be reined in," Nunes said on "Sunday Morning

Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

"I would hope we don't have to go there.

I would hope that they just don't get involved in politics and don't censor conservatives

and Republicans, but if they continue to do it then we have to move obviously to hearings

on these issues," he added.

Conservatives this week were in an uproar after a Google search showed the word "Nazism"

in an information box about the California Republican Party's ideology.

Further exacerbating the issue, a separate search for Trudy Wade, a North Carolina state

senator who is a Republican and a supporter of President Trump, pulled up a picture Friday

with the word "BIGOT" in red.

Google has apologized for the offending search results, which in the case of the "Nazism"

search it called "vandalism," but explained that these search results were automatically

populated by sites across the Internet.

"We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally

errors get through, and that's what happened here," Google said in a statement.

"This would have been fixed systematically once we processed the removal from Wikipedia,

but when we noticed the vandalism we worked quickly to accelerate this process to remove

the erroneous information."

News aggregator Drudge Report helped draw attention to the issue at the nationwide level,

and congressional leaders, including House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, have called

on Google to work on a solution.

Earlier this year, Google defeated a lawsuit that alleged YouTube, a video-sharing website

owned by Google, which alleged censorship of conservatives.

Other tech companies, including Twitter and Facebook, have also been accused by conservatives

of bias or censorship.

N. Korea - U.S. talks to be held at Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island, Singapore - Duration: 2:21.

Next week, the hotly anticipated Pyongyang-Washington summit will be held.

Naturally, preparations for the talks are picking up steam.

More details are gradually being revealed, including... the venue for the long awaited

meeting.

The Capella Hotel in Singapore has been chosen to host the historic event.

Kim Mok-yeon gets us up to speed with the developments.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders revealed in a tweet on Tuesday that the talks

between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will be held at

the Capella Hotel on Singapore's Sentosa Island on June 12th.

The White House official also thanked the Singaporean hosts for their hospitality.

The post came just around a day after Sanders confirmed that the two leaders had agreed

on the time of their first meeting.

"And I can also tell you the schedule for -- tentatively -- for that first meeting will

be on June 12 at 9 a.m. Singapore time and take place June 11, 9 p.m. east coast time."

The Capella Hotel is where high ranking officials from the U.S. and North Korea have been holding

working-level discussions on the upcoming talks.

The hotel is also one of two places local and foreign experts had been suggesting the

talks could held at, along with the Shangri-La hotel.

The Singapore government issued a public order establishing special zones around both hotels,

so access to the areas will strictly be controlled from June 10th to the 14th.

Speaking to reporters at an Oval Office event on Tuesday, U.S. President Trump said that

plans for what will be the first meeting between a serving U.S. president and a North Korean

leader, are well on track.

"North Korea looks like it's moving along very well, a lot of -- a lot of relationship

being built; a lot of negotiation going on even before the trip.

But it looks like it's coming along fine.

We'll see what happens, but very important.

It'll be a very important couple of days."

The upcoming Kim-Trump meeting was called off by the U.S. President late May

before being put back on last week after a top North Korean official delivered Trump

a letter from Kim Jong-un.

President Trump said that he expects a positive result in discussions with North Korea but

spoke of the possibility of additional meetings to follow for the two sides to reach an agreement.
