Were going to start with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Cuban missile crisis was 1962. It took place over 13 very, very stressful days in october 1962. The United States at that point had long been flying High Altitude surveillance flights over the nation of cuba, but on october 14th, 1962 a u2 surveillance flight picked up imagery in cuba of something that started that whole crisis, started that whole standoff. Its interesting. The Cuban Missile Crisis is very precisely identified in all the history books as having started on october 16th. Two days after that u2 spy plane captured those images in cuba. But the crisis didnt start on october 16th because something happened that day, because there was some overt act by cuba, there was some provocation there or some announcement by them, it didnt start because on october 16th there was some act by the
soviet union or some announcement by the soviets that kicked off this crisis. The reason we can be so specific about when the Cuban Missile Cris
this president to be slamming baltimore calling it rat infested. since his son-in-law and his seen your adviser jared kushner family business owns thousands of baltimore apartments. apartments with a history of code violations. including rodent infestation. it s particularly ironic that the president is making comments bh we know in 2017 that his son-in-law direct le contributed to some of the neglect that the president reportedly is so concerned about today. i want you to listen. please listen to what one former tenant of a kushner property told us. about what it was like to live in one of the apartments. so what was it like to hear rats at night? it was crazy. i could hear them gnawing. you can t see them. i could hear it. it just made me crazy. despite the president s claim

something unusual and previously unreported took place. quote, two months after jared kushner joined the white house as a senior adviser, his family firm sold a stake in a brooklyn building to a unit of a company whose largest shareholder is the government of japan. the brooklyn transaction represented a premium of more than 60% on a price per square foot basis over what kushner and his partners paid a year earlier. this allowed the ownership group to take more stakes in nearby buildings. one connected by a pedestrian walkway remains vacant today. the japanese government primarily operates in japan and has only seven u.s. properties as of september 2016. its purchase of the kushner property was the only purchase made in new york city last year. everybody involved in the story denies any political component to the deal or involvement by jared kushner. but we actually sent a producer
walkway remains vacant today. the japanese company primarily operates in japan and has only seven u.s. properties as of september 2016. its purchase of the kushner property was the only purchase made in new york city last year. everybody involved in the story denies any political component to the deal or involvement by jared kushner. but we actually sent a producer out to this building in brooklyn, co-owned by the kushner family and the japanese government. the building is definitely still empty, even though the japanese-controlled company bought it a year ago for a 60% premium. and even though this is in one of the hottest neighborhoods for development in new york city, it remains vacant. it s just a nice investment to have. a nice thing to dump millions and millions and millions of
