This Is An American Business Owner “The majority of my employees are under the age of 25 and I was having a conversation with a few of them the other day about just their futures” The answers were “so heartbreaking, like there's no hope” We NEED leadership change She asked “What are they saving for buying a home starting families that kind of thing and it was overwhelming The responses were just what's the point? They're like we work all the time. Half of our checks just get taken to taxes and sent overseas. Like they even see it and they're young, not even paying attention. Like we can't even buy a house so we're not even gonna try to save. We can barely think about starting a family because I can barely afford to live on my own.” “Just, it's so heartbreaking. Like there's no hope. But even when I was in college and I was able to buy a home and my friends, you know, they were able to do the same and start families. It was feasible, it was doable. And it's so disgusting the damage has been done in such a short period of time and it blows my mind that people are still going to vote for it” “it's so prevalent and it's so obvious now damage the just destruction of this poor country and what it's doing to a generation that are growing up trying to do their best and there's nothing for them. There's no future for them. What are they saving for? Like if we continue, if in November this happens again, we won't make it out. Like this is, this is, I mean, this is so sad.”

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."

You mean this interview on Wednesday’s ‘Good Morning America’ wasn’t enough to save Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’ in light of video showing her beating her ex-boyfriend? Lara Spencer: “I want to hear all about your bachelorette journey. But first I want to give you the opportunity to respond to recent headlines about the alleged domestic violence incident with your ex-boyfriend. What do you want to share with us about this?” Paul: “Honestly, I — it's been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially during this time of The Bachelorette being released and it's supposed to be really exciting time. I'm a person that will always speak my truth and I'm — you know, that's what I'm known for. And so, when the time is right I will be. But right now, just trying to be in the present moment and focus on this and — but the thing is — is my — my kids do come first. My kids come first. And so, it's been, like, just a back and forth process trying to be here in the present moment, worrying about, you know, home and headlines. It's been stressful to be honest.” Spencer: “We did reach out to Dakota. And he did not — we did not — for a statement. We did not get a response from him. Now we have reports that ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ has paused production on the next season. I know there's a season on right now and then season five was in production. Reports say it's been — it's paused. Is that true?” Paul: “Honestly I — I don't call the shots with production. So, as of now I have gotten word that it also has been paused, but I do not call those shots. So, as far as I know it — it was, but I don't know for how long and why.” Spencer: “And — and I know you're one of the executive producers on the show.” Paul: “Yeah, yeah. I got told that this — this year.” Spencer: “Oh, you didn't know that?” Paul: “I — I didn't. No. And I was like, what does that mean? You know, I was, like, like, I think just because we share our lives and we produce like our own, you know, lives.” Spencer: “Yeah. Paul: “But I don't know if that necessarily what that — what that means.” Spencer: “And how do you — how do you envision your future on that show?” Paul: “Hard to say now, right?” Spencer: “Right.” Paul: “Just because of, you know, everything going on. It's hard to see past this. I'm not going to lie. In this moment, it's just so heavy. And when your life is broadcasted out there in these headlines, it's, like, the end of the world.” Spencer: “Right.” Paul: “That's what it feels like. I'm not going to lie. But I will say I've, I've been here before and I got through it and, you know, shared my story, my life. So I — I'm hoping that I can do that again.” Spencer: “Yeah.”
