is the daily with criminal. Here's some people, I know knew the grass cited are joining us. He's. Not he's got a new book about the partnership between astrophysics and the military. Are you know what that means its force, this catch up on today's headlines. You know how they say if you dont, like your leaders, you should write angry letters to them. Well, some people take it

a little too far. The FBI is investigating several suspicious letters sent to President Trump and others that may contain the toxic compounds, rice and official, say the letter that was addressed the president, never The White House, similar letters males the Pentagon were addressed to defence Secretary Jim Matters and the Navy's top officer Admiral John Richardson, afford letter was sent to the Houston Campaign Office of Senators TED proves but tests. Therefore, anything hazardous turned up negative, ok, first of all, thank God. No one was And second, if your plan to harm Donald Trump depends on him reading something, maybe you haven't thought this through. I got a letter now my head hurts diseases, rice and no sir. That's words. Also not smart, sending a poison letter to TED crews. It was suspicious right away.

On rights. Let us turn if anything, the poison letter is lucky. You'd never got two degrees right now, poison would be in the hospital like what happened to you pointed out was exposed to dig in other news. If you ve been looking for a reason to restock a fallout shelter. This man, be it. The EPA is proposing to weaken radiation regulation suggesting a little bit. Irradiation is actually good for you, like sunlight, current guy says. Any exposure to radiation is a cancer risk. Critics warn the proposal, could increase harmful exposure for people who work near radiation or live next superfund site now now before you stop complaining about how it's not safe for the EPA to encourage higher radiation levels, ask yourself one Do you want more x, men movies or not? I rest my case. Moving on Russia, they ve targets are Democrats, Republicans,

and now they're, going after one of America's biggest populations nerds We would rewarder reports. A new study claims negative buzz about star wars. The lash dead, I is being amplified by russian trawls and academic paper, finds that half of the criticism aimed at the director of the twenty seventeen instalment was politically motivated or not even human. The author Morton Bay claims he found evidence of deliberate organised political influence measures disguised as an argument is that a number of users appeared to be russian trolls. Ok, I'm sorry russian haggling of just gotten ridiculous. Now! Well, because I kept on going off they, genes, but rotten tomatoes really like what's next they'll, be hacking

Abby and be reviewed. Just like Susan's building was due on after vote draw poor. Those guys are, let's move onto our story over the past four weeks. It feels like everyone has been talking about Supreme Court nominee, Brick Cavanaugh every single day. Like if you took a sharp every time the news mention Bird Cavanaugh. You would be bred Cavanaugh, so for own mental health. Let's take a break from this madness and talk about something else. Donald Trump. I'm if you guys know this, but don't trump is the presence of the United States. He probably too did you about it today and one of the reasons. One of the reasons he got the job was that he showed himself as a self made billionaire. Who would do for America what he did for himself, and yesterday we found out more about his amazing road too rigid.

The president has always betrayed himself as the master businessmen using the art of the deal. They turn a small loan into a global empire, but now in New York Times investigation claims he was actually given of fortune from his bothers real estate company, often through quote dubious tax. I are a very, very small alone from my foot. Are there. Many years ago I built into a massive empire, and I paid my father back that long. It is Laurie Donald Trump has been telling for decades. I started with a million dollar alone. I built a company that for more than ten billion dollars, but reporters for the New York Times who say they examined more than one hundred thousand pages of documents, claim it isn't true. They were poor, Donald Trump, Father, Fred, actually

went him at least sixty point: seven million dollars. Wait! Watch! Ok, I know about you, but I'm devastated right now, because the one thing I knew about Donald Trump is that he was a self made billionaire Amelia saying that no real, but what's next, you got it. Me, there's not a real hair, but he's natural complexion isn't sunset, because this exposes trumps hole. Didn't story is a lie, and I mean like a total lie like finding out that super was actually born in Cleveland and he caught even fly. It just elaborate system of police, ok, which is still impressive, but not the same, and I look. Let's be honest this because I don't think any of us really ever believed tromp was self made when you that his dad gave my leg up in life, but the New York Times are shown that Fred didn't just give Donald leg up. He was basically all of his limbs.

Tromp was relentless and created in finding ways to channel his wealth to children. He made Donald, not salaried employee, but also his property manager, landlord banker and consulted. Alone after loan, many of them never repay. You gave him three trust funds. He gave him shares and multiple partnerships and he gave him a laundry revenue from his buildings. He provided money for Donalds Car money for employees, money to buy stocks, money for his first Manhattan offices and money to renovate those offices. Ok, ok, this is just embarrassing. I it's one thing to be a trust. One baby is another thing to be a baby, maybe you're a forty year old man and your daddy is still paying for your office. Furniture, what did you do anything ways of Donald

You actually Bengals model in the eighties or that your dad true we're in that room like you, gonna give it Jimmy daughters. I know, but my daddy well so friend, from what fondling enormous amounts of money to Donald for decades, and it all started before young Donny, even knew what money was accordingly investigation. Tromp was earning. Two hundred thousand dollars in today's dollars by age three and was a millionaire by the age of eight by the time down was Seventeen, his father, had given him part ownership of the fifty two unit apartment building, while two hundred thousand dollars as a toddler and a millionaire by the age of eight that is not normal. As on Norway to grow up, like a turns everything upside down. I bet Donald Trump, never even got bullied because they were took his lunch money,

these would instantly being a higher tax brackets like I really want to give away you, but my cabinet says it's not worth it. We were in the Cayman Islands, boy you'd be getting it right now, not usually when your parents gift you tens of millions of dollars. You would need to pay taxes on that right, a lot of taxes, but these are the trumps we're talking about. That's not how they roll the New York Times report that indicates President Trot helped his father The federal government and avoid for years on end paying millions and millions of dollars in federal tax, its Fred Trump used a sham company to funnel tax free money to his children manipulated, the value of their apartment buildings? claiming they were worth millions of dollars less than fair value. He helped transfer more than one billion dollars of his parents, wealth to himself and is siblings, as some they report would have produced a tax bill

at least five hundred and fifty million dollars, but they say the family. Lloyd, a variety of tax dodges, cutting that to fifty two point: two million sweet Jesus. So, according to the Times Donald Trump, the present, by the way, remember stole half a billion dollars from the american government. It's like. If you rob a bank and then they were like you know what we're gonna make you the seal. Yeah. You know the one part of this that brings me joy- is that in order to pay less tax from head to pretend he's properties well worth less than they actually were, there must have been such torture for him. We like, so you see, I shouldn't pay that much the properties actually not that greater look right is no they're, not they're, not don't listen may lead, so this report tells us is that Donald and his dad worked together to defraud the? U S government for decades

We also learned that Donald needed his father to repeatedly bail out his failing businesses, but, as it turned out, Donald was so bad at business that some of his dad's fortune wasn't enough. He needed, all of it, but that crucial point in his life, one thousand nine hundred and ninety. We found Donald Trump crafts. In essence a new will for his father, and then he sends lawyers to his father's house to have him sign it as fatherhood. The other was coming and flipped out his father. What to do In fact, this is my son, who is an increase The trouble right now trying to get full of the empire that I built? Ok, I've heard of the apple not falling far from the tree. I've never heard of the apple

of the tree and then try to take over the trees money. I'm just saying that piece of fruit is an actual and you're, probably wondering what happens now. Well, I have bad news for you because of the statute of limitations. The worst that could happen to Trump is that he pays a fine, but he will definitely not go to prison, which we should know by now. Trump doesn't The present, that's not how the story goes like there's, a big chance will go to prison for trumps. Taxes will just be in the cell. Like I'm, not a lie. I did not see this coming. I did not say this coming and the worst part is the Trump who blew through a fortune and stuck his dad. Would the bull that Trump never went away. You realize that since Trump took office less than two years ago, the projected national debt has skyrocketed by one point: six trillion dollars, so I guess I'm saying, is we're all Fred Trump. Now we'll be right back,

show. My guess is a renowned astrophysicist director of the Hayden Planetarium, an author, whose new book is called accessory toward the spoken alliance between astrophysics and the military. Please welcome kneeled I welcomed by members Things first have birthday vote this week is mother what everybody has a birthday every year. So just specify this. My sixtieth extend the same age as NASA

unborn the same week in fifty eight? And how are you both do We have obtained the right way right right. We're trying to keep mostly up. Things are looking. When we got Neil it'll cake from the show, and I was like we should make it like a planets type thing and then we're like what would the planet doesn't like balanced? You like half a plan, then we're like. Isn't it places on the judges forever? That's its approach. It's a planet somewhere and the universe right not want two hours. We would request like where people intimidated by you, because I didn't want to say that, like, for instance, I've I've just hanging out with Neil, I always ask him a random question about was plaguing me about what's happening, the universe and now is like him and what's going on with PLUTO, because I really thing where they should like people might be a plan again and then you like knows not open, again, what's going on just just get over it

it's over, which shows a plan is not a planet which are not get over it. I think there's a push right now to try to get it back, but this can be really hard pushed from whom the weak the people deprived depinto, put plant. Poodle lovers out there that have not given up his enemies. Pluto lobby album mostly american, because it making thirty when PLUTO the cosmic object was discovered. Rights Disney first drew PLUTO, the dog so put their the dog and in the end and the former planet have the same sort of your and our hearts and the use of the former planets in this world. You know what I've always enjoy

but your work- and you know what I mean it is a testament to that Work- is how your book is still on the New York Times not sell out by other book. Yes, you other, but slowly they did so. Let's do it right all right like because, because you make a week here, any signs put the lanes anywhere near to better so and so because, as always, the political books that right regulated, tied warders, bring in an hour and then actually book in a celebrity book and ever signs butchers, all maybe five.

We settled. We talk in science, the water cool rights, and so so that my first one is still live. Is seventy third week it's ridiculous to science, and I say this because you make it so accessible you you, you try and tie astrophysics to what's happening in the world. I mean this book. I would ask you to do their utmost. Someone still has to be interested in it and its remit is the other way round. I think, is the other way round. I think you make us interests in that they because you gotta interest, I think, is created. We will we in olden everything if you make a people, is interested in interesting thing. Ok, you don't like this book is a really interesting, but because you talk about the relationship between astrophysics, the military on way back right going like, but like way way way. Hundreds thousands, thousands so people have we ve been using, like the military has always been using astrophysics mushroom, also before the late nineteenth century. Just that

were stronger. Was it later on, we started doing spectroscopy and more much more physics came a part of it. We use the word astrophysics, but basically people who, under the universe handmaidens to military conquerors from the beginning rights and part of it is you want. We officially the seafaring nations. You want to know where the people are who you want to conquer. How do you know where you are on earth? You gotta go strollers, because we know what the sky looks like. Different parts of the earth, and you take that information. Indian fur, where you aren't free right when you do that, you you control the sees you control the undiscovered land, you control the land that people living in that you are more powerful than you when you finally land on the Like Columbus, did this right Columbus, he he forced voyage, he peak he lives on his by, nor does what it was and try to get We need wasn't enough supplies, he goes to them. Since they give me some of your supplies. They no, we just have enough for ourselves to get through the next the harvest right,

He knew that are totally lunar. Eclipse was coming up a week later and he said if Do not give me your supplies, I oh my god. Make the moon go away, don't make it disappear from the sky they Freetown, but some of them are sceptical. Week goes by the moon starts disappearing. Take rapid we got their supplies, gave it to him. He stayed here it is in his cabin to halfway through the eclipse. He didn't comes out and says my God is merciful to you for it. Me that supplies we will now have the moon return. Halfway to eclipse the moon comes out the other side of earth shadow, so he export use knowledge of the universe right exploit people, not knowledge. Wars powerfully to you that as a very story, but I feel it is keeping over the part where these people died. I don't have the food now right. What right does not mustn't written about? That corner successfully gets back back to Spain. That is a wild. That's like you can still use. Those

needs today, because a lot of people don't think like that. I feel like I could use that would like my taxi driver, like I'm, not gonna pay to be that you have to pay and I'll be like my God will remove the could still work for some recovery working on me, but its work for you, not my taxi driver, whom I guess it would be like no, what happens at the bedside of water? But the thing is, I think about it. If you, knowledge of natural. For many of the universe and you nefarious motives. You can exploit any who does not, and so for me, science piracy is so important. In modern civilization, so it is inoculation against people would otherwise exploit your ignorance of the phenomenon of the world. We ve come a long way from the days of Columbus and we're looking at the modern day military today who are still in a relationship with astrophysicist. Yet on. Are you know? Donald Trump has promised us one of the great

promises of present ever has met is the development of the spaceport resource, spaceport, spaceport and then I'll bet you're coming it's ok, you can come down. It's ok about me comes out, automatically was pushed. The way you talk about I should like very it was. It was bicep flexing now I feel that you as a natural for how how feasible is spaceport like can you fight? Wasn't space is fighting wars against other countries when the aliens come would we Would you say we wish the war against the aliens just looking at the planet and how things work an just give up all hope it. The aliens across the galaxy right ship- and we haven't left wing you haven't, been pass: the moon since nineteen seventy two or they are smarter and more powerful, better machinery than us right and every example of when that happens in our own species The one who have less tech was less technologically able ended. It looks bad for

put a reservation. Why? So all the movies are portrayed in India leading us that way. I think it's not from act, if not from knowledge that we have we weren't any knowledge of the aliens. It's how we know we ve treated each other. It is a mirror to our culture and our civilization rights. How aliens are portrayed in all of these sites? I find movies so What are we supposed force would be nice if it could swat aliens out of the sky rise, not what the goal to do so they go to. The air force has branch or resolve cosy, called the? U S and the? U S, space command right, so this already military, Many space it would just sort of accounting, Shifty shifted all out its own branch and if you're gonna do that, I throw in asteroid defence wanna thoroughly and what you clean

The debris the space debris right. Ok, now you thinking there's like causes the junk, and so they can space we bad for our space assets. What's a military to do you want them to protect your borders? Of course in the normal things, a military we do, but how much our assets there's assets. Face it worth far beyond the value of the hardware itself right, there's their satellite that enable business underground, so the GPS satellite they put up by the military, and we figured out how to tap into it. We people right happened it and use it for conducting business. The entire business model of Buber? Worms offered gps satellite tender.

Offer gps, but you want to make in the next forty eight hours to get a coordinate system, but that this is not on our what I'm enjoy and have with two. So in the old days, what relationship for you had enough of a legacy of who is like? I think I've just figured out a way to use space to Belgium Satellite. They can tell us exactly where we are on the and the minister was like we can use this to conquer people someone's, like our not not managed to make. Is that evolution always that that the others? What is that? I don't know what I was afraid that the boundaries, creativity right people confronted with a new means of conducting business. So is it important for astrophysics to be part of the military? Is this something that's a luxury or you genuinely think that

will determine the future of the workers will happen. We make discoveries and the military looks over the picket fence say we want some of that right, and then they do things of much higher budget that we couldn't otherwise afford. It emerges that fifty class or hastily we want somebody project keyhole was, I was an idea to put telescopes in orbit and looked down right. Rip masterminded, tell us beautiful, tells it which Africa declassified we want wanted. Owes became the Hubble space telescope looking up right, this is this: why we we we we care about the same things the military cares about you are you have a worried, though, that the military would use? One of your discoveries is an extra physicist to do thing really horrible on? They might do that, but I have no control over that, and so what this book does. If it is that it is in a discussion, it's in it It's it's an exploration of all the ways we have beach crossed each other's street to either

blindly say gimme that I don't care what you did with it or how many I want that. Cuz will help me learn about the universe bright and vice versa. I don't judge it. I just I presented and I observe because not all wars are basically what was back Zagreb during Vietnam, but this. Second world not gonna sit we buy, and this led Hitler run ramshackle around Europe even say: that's rise up warm memorials, have older standing, probably Strider steed, brandishing weapons, and- and I got that then I say why they do in this cause wars, bad but then I really know not all conflict is bad. Sometimes you have to stand up and fight enemies of civilization and so we have been a handmaidens too, that enterprise ever since the beginning and this is why their best sellers you make it interesting.
