WATCH: Secretary of State Rubio smacks down reporter for LYING about his statements from yesterday, falsely claiming he said Israel dragged the U.S. into war with Iran.... Reporter: “Yesterday, you told us that Israel was going to strike Iran and that that's why we needed to get involved. Today, the President said that —” Rubio: “No.” Reporter: “— Iran was going to get strike [sic].” Rubio: “Yeah, your statement is false. So, that's not what — I was asked very specifically. Were you there yesterday?” Reporter: “Yes, I asked a question.” Rubio: “Okay. No. Were you the one that — because somebody asked me a question yesterday, did we go in because of Israel? And I said..., no, I told you this had to happen. Anyway, the President made a decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program, that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ability to conduct these attacks. That decision had been made. The President systematically made a decision to systematically destroy this terrorist capability that they had, and we carried that out. I was very clear on that answer. This was a question of timing, of why this had to happen as a joint operation, not the question of the intent. Once the President made a decision that negotiations were not going to work, that they were playing us on the negotiations, and that this was a threat that was untenable, the decision was made to strike them. That's what I said yesterday. And you guys need to play it. If you're going to play these statements, you need to play the whole statement, not clip it to reach a narrative that you want to do, all right?”

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Dave Chappelle fires back after backlash over his Saudi Arabia show. Says no one ever had a problem with Saudi money until “a black man” made “money off the plantation.” “The United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.” “And none of these things were an issue until I went there.” “Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty.” FULL EXCHANGE BELOW: REPORTER: “US intelligence did make it clear that they believe that the Saudis killed Jamal Khāshqujī in the embassy in Turkey. And you knew that when you went, right?” CHAPPELLE: “Oh, absolutely.” REPORTER: “You had no qualms?” CHAPPELLE: “I won’t say that. They asked me to go years before that, and I said no for that very reason.” “Since that time, the United States government does business with the Saudis. Netflix does business with Saudis, everyone. Saudis financed tons of movies. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things.” “And none of these things were an issue until I went there.” “Now, why is that? As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation, they try to tell you that the money is dirty. Well, okay, I’ll go home and spend the money with actual slave owners on it. Where is this clean money you’re talking about?” REPORTER: “But you said you hesitated for years to go. There are years you didn’t go. So what made the difference for you?” CHAPPELLE: “Time. Time and circumstance. Time. And the wheels of commerce kept turning.” “If you want to be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don’t use your cell phone. Everything is tethered to something that’s just terrible.” “And I can make a million excuses or reasons to deprive that crowd of that show, but, man, when I was standing in front of them, I feel like I did the right thing.”

When I was traveling to NC I bought a window seat because I wanted to enjoy the scenery, it was slightly more expensive than a normal seat. When I got boarded, I went to my tow and I looked at my seat and there was a kid sitting there. I was confused because this was the seat I paid for, I had no idea who the kid was and why they were in my seat. A woman came up and handed some snacks to the kid and then sat down at the seat next to the kid and I asked her if they were in the right seat and she said yes. I said the window seat was mine and showed the ticket. She said well her daughter wanted to sit there, I said well if she did you should have paid for it because I did. She asked if I had kids and I said no, and she said well when you do you will appreciate it because things like this will keep them quiet during the flight. Once again I said that’s fine but I paid for this for a reason, you should have planned ahead. I ended up having to get an attendant who made them move, but the woman wasn’t quiet about it she started calling me selfish and what kind of person would take stuff away from a kid. I said the kind of person that paid for the things they feel entitled to. I did end up feeling bad about it later but it wasn’t really my problem, I didn’t want to be emotionally blackmailed because she didn’t want to pay more money for that set. This woman moved seats on her own and was told she would be booted if she didn’t sit in her assigned seat. I’m sure there is a reason behind this, I think I read an article once that said it was due to weight and such. Would you move though? It doesn’t seem like much of a big deal to me.
