jack daniels whiskey, for example.ou might think this fine tennessee hooch was invented by some goofy assed white dude and to be fair jack daniels does sound like the name of a dude that fights raccoons, but did you know it was a slave who taught jack how to make whiskey? that's right. whiskey in the $1,850s was taught by a slave named nerus green. the whiskey was named after jack daniel even know green wanted to call it, hey, man, drink this shit to get your mind off of slavery. after the civil war, neris green became america's first black master distiller. so let's honor mr. green and the fruits of his labor with a toast. ugh! damn, you got to make it burn! wasn't your life hard enough? ( laughter ) now, on to the story of jerry lawson, a self-taught engineer who invented the video game cartridge. before jerry lawson, the only video game you could play was pong. look at this boring ass video game. action packed. jerry lawson with his invention gave black people an escape from racism, much in the same way neris green

import tariffs on american goods and services and that would make products like harley-davidson or jack daniels whiskey much more expensive here in europe but i have to say these are only rumors at this stage the european union is only considering this and in other news we've got a minister from spain luis de cwindows who's going to become the next vice president of the e.c.b. what does that mean for mario draghi and his successor next year conrad. well the written rule in the eurozone is that if a man from the south or a person from the south becomes the vice president of the european central bank somebody from the euro zone's north. has to become the president so that now after the nomination of the who is the go in windows from spain as vice president of the e.c.b. the chances are rising for young man our man from the bundesbank here our reserve bank in germany to eventually succeed mario draghi when he leaves this post in the autumn of twenty nineteen conrad who's in first in frankfurt a financial correspondent thank you. now today it's back to work for traders in asia after the lunar new y

union might consider a counter tariffs import tariffs on for example harley davidson motorbikes or jack daniels whiskey which would of course make those products much more expensive here in europe i have to say though those are only rumors the european union at the moment seems to only be considering this all right with an incredible choice of products of that kind of had booze in it for us in frankfurt thank you for keeping us updated. u.s. carmakers general motors recently announced plans to shut down one of its full plants in south korea the decision welcomed by u.s. president donald trump who took it as an opportunity to criticize the free trade agreement with south korea now while some had expected g.m. to close its remaining plants in south korea it looks like the u.s. comic could be set to make a u. turn. g.m. is stuck between a rock and a hard place the comic a doesn't want to be the target of washington's america first policies but he doesn't want to ruin its reputation in south korea eva. it's certainly our preference to stay and to fix the business and continue to be an important par

moment in the what you referred to the harley-davidson from wisconsin and also the whiskey products jack daniels for example from tennessee and kentucky and those are products that are associated could be associated with some republican politicians or with a majority of republican voters i would be very very careful with that though it sounds like an awful lot of spin doctoring has been going on or some media may be focusing on that too much because as we understand those lists are old rather old at least and they were started in during the period of george w. bush and then maybe adapted but it just shows you know trade tussles aren't anything new between the european union and the united states of america and saying that they would really target republican voters that and they would be interfering with the message policies and you probably get no official here to confirm that information right there not new max it seems to me that we've been talking about the prospect of a trade war ever since donald trump put his foot poised over the threshold of the white house but halfway taken a step that a

when bowled in his first time game starting with both daniel gain jack and mario gomez up top and it paid off in the fifth minute gomes set up to inject and he fired home to make it one nil to stuttgart. but i keep it severe physical left with no chance. to organize i had a chance to equalise for got back but he failed to connect properly still got right in their luck to reach halftime in front. of proton rafael in a bid to pep up their attack in a second half and the brazilian had one of his trademark shots from range but in the stuttgart goal was equal to his effort. the visitors had more of the ball but most of the threat came from set pieces substitute your sadr image missed their best chance to equalise stuttgart managed to keep their opponents at bay to win in front of their own fans for the seventh time this season. it's a massive we're happy with the points they're important they put a shine in the point we won last week in a successful first home game for coker but got bashed crisis goes on. it's time to recap our top story at this hour the leaders of south africa's ruling s

lauren: danielle, jack, steve, stay with us. we have breaking news. david: a driver just ramming the security barrier near the white house. luckily the vehicle did in the breach the barrier. the secret service apprehended driver. law enforcement says this is not about president trump. this is not an attack against the white house. go straight to blake burman. seeing a driver with a heavy foot. reporter: according to the law enforcement source this is is drive who also suffered from some mental illness issues as well, why they're comfortable saying this was not attack on the white house, not an attack on president, rather than an intentional act by this driver who has since been apprehended. there was a little bit of a hustle from the secret service agents to attend to this. this is on the west side of the property of the white house here, actually on the other side of the executive office building which houses the vice president's office and many staff members here of the white house, but things are starting to get back here to normal. in fact the aus
