>> yeah. >> aubrey was worried, though, and tried to control how many he took. but mike couldn't seem to get enough. at one point, taking nearly two dozen painkillers a day. >> i'm like you can't be taking all these pills. you have to slow down. >> i didn't want to stop. i didn't feel the need to. and i didn't see the harm in it. >> and that's something we've heard over and over as we've reported on opioids. i don't want to stop. i can't stop. truth is, in the beginning the opioids work well, really well for certain kinds of pain. but as you're on them longer and longer, they become less and less effective. the result? you take more and more. and that's when they become dangerous. opioids, unlike just about any other drug, can turn off your body's natural instinct to breathe. take too many, fall asleep and never wake up. and studies show opioid dependence happens fast. within weeks, mike james had joined the millions of americans dependent on opioids, putting himself at risk of dying every day and making him feel awful along the way. nauseated, constipated, stil

aubrey blaench, thank you. >> and tim draper got his way. the plan to break california into three states is on the ballot when "press: here" continues. >>> welcome back to "press: here." there is an unusual proposal to split california into three new states. this is not a theoretical idea. supporters gathered enough signatures for the november ballot. chose split it up or no keep it the way it is. if it is a yes vote we need congress to give the final approval. tim draper is the money behind this idea. reporters with fortune and the financial times join me in a pretaped interview with tim. >> do you ever wonder why you are in california and pay the highest taxes in the entire country and running over potholes, the water doesn't work. you're not getting the best water. orovil oroville dam is about to break. >> is it because of los angeles? >> no. why is our education among the worst. bottom three. math 47thth. and then why a prison problem where prison population in the last four years. and it just makes you wonder, what is going on. why do w

i agree with what aubrey de grey says about ageing. the thought of getting old still seems dreadful to me sort of could be a bit of a leave at that but i'm glad he's putting all his energy and enthusiasm into it as he puts it curing the problem so. he's basically declared that i have a fifty percent chance of achieving eternal life by actually dared to expect more from the mortality group from the elixir of long life but i'll simply have to be satisfied with what i've got for the time being i mean. when we look back through history we see that the one thing that all of these alexia drink has now have in common is that they're all six foot and they're all dead so many have a backup plan and that backup plan is exactly what the second fundamental kind of immortality story office stays with the idea that we are these. it's a cool things these bodies but it except these bodies are going to have to die but he says aha these bodies can rise again we can live again this is of course resurrection when we look around we see that in winter livin

russia aubrey's -- already has a lot of nuclear weapons. in terms of the theory these limited nuclear strikes are essentially another way of moving the risk and nuclear brinksmanship. it's not that using one or two nuclear weapons of the case if they win the war but there will be more to come and essentially asking western leaders to want to run the risk of running out of control and i think the united states has interest. our allies in eastern europe so we need to have a serious defense strategy for that. so we need to be able to have a response if we are going to continue to play that game of nuclear brinksmanship. >> let me interject here because this might be a good moment to ask how your endorsement of superiority maps to the actions of russia? isn't the case that all these innovative things that putin is doing he's trying to get a superiority and the ability to get us to back him so in a way putin seems to be following it perhaps better than we are at can we also say to what extent does your theory map to the new recommendation of the

aubrey of japan, a friend of mine. he just left our country. he wants what is right for japan. in for the world. a good man. and a very special person, president xi of china who has really closed up that border. maybe a little bit less so over the last months, but that is ok. but he has really has a end he is a terrific person and a friend of mine and a really great leader of his people. i want to thank them for their efforts to help us get through .his very historic day most importantly, what to think chairman can for taking the first old step toward a bright, new future for his people. meeting, thented first between an american president and a leader of north korea. it proves that real change is indeed possible. meeting with german chem was honest, direct, and productive. we got to know each other well and a very confined time under strong, strong circumstances. we are prepared to start a new history and we are ready to write a new chapter between our nations. nearly 70 years ago, think of that, 70 years ago, extremely bloody conflict ravaged the korean peninsula. in thess pe

almost into high school years aubrey would say tell me a story i can't fall asleep. charlotte was start a story in the next that she would continue it. we are not surprised when she went to college and majored in digital cinema and english. we knew someday this book was going to happen. >> when people ask is how did you come up with the idea, we say it all started with marlon. started with the instagram page. we had no idea if anybody would follow the page about our bunny. >> he has like 27000 followers. it's way more than me. >> i don't even have instagram. he's very popular. it makes sense to us because marlon is adorable. he's fun to take pictures of. he has a very real personality. he will follow us around the house he will pose for pictures, people ask is how did you get him to do that, how did you get him to sit in front of the fire or open the book. he just does that. he has a little personality. it started with an instagram page and we thought we should do a children's book. it was fun and a partnership. my mom did the watercolors, she is so talented. we deci

as the greatest living canadian philosopher aubrey graham said, jealousy is just love and hate at theame time. for me, i agree with mr. fry. we should not be nasty and combative. i do not see nastiness and combativeness. i see them making a desire to have their individual identities respected. when i get shot down for another -- no other reason that i am black, when i get categorized by my color, i am living in a culture that refuses to see me as a great individual. [applause] [laughter] mr. fry: it is interesting to hear there does not seem to be a problem. but yet, i think we know there is some kind of problem. there is not censorship, of course not in the way there is in russia. i have been to russian, i faced a homophobic man. there is political correctness on the right. that's what i grew up with. it meant that you cannot say certain things on television. you cannot say fuck, for example, on television. because it was incorrect to do so. the reason was that people would show up and say i am not shocked, say i am not offended. i am offended on behalf of others, young, impressionab
