  • on the last day of the work week.

  • There's a saying we have and it goes a little something like Fridays are awesome.

  • I didn't happen to mention that last week, but you reminded me up.

  • Carlos.

  • It's welcome to see and then 10.

  • Our coverage on this last Friday of September starts with a whistle blower, or at least a report from one.

  • We don't know the identity of the whistleblower, the person who made the complaint about recent events concerning U.

  • S.

  • President Donald Trump.

  • We know the controversy started with a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelinsky, and we featured a detailed explanation on that and yesterday's show.

  • You can find it at CNN Tenn dot com.

  • The complaint was declassified Thursday morning, which allowed the public to see it, And in it the whistleblower accuses President Trump of abusing his power by pressuring a foreign country to investigate former U.

  • S.

  • Vice President Joe Biden, who's one of President Trump's main political rivals for next year's election.

  • The whistleblower, the person who made the complaint to U.

  • S.

  • Intelligence officials, says he or she was not a direct witness to most of the events in the complaint, but that it was put together from information that came from more than six other U.

  • S officials.

  • The whistleblower also says that in the days after the phone call, the White House tried to lock down to keep secret all records of it.

  • The Earlier this week, it released a summary of the coal.

  • Yesterday, the acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, appeared in a public hearing with the House Intelligence Committee.

  • He said everything from the complaint itself to the way it was handled by U.

  • S.

  • Government officials was done legally.

  • The White House called the complaint a quote collection of thirdhand accounts of events and cobbled together press clippings.

  • All of which shows nothing improper.

  • But Democrats called it a road map to their investigation into whether President Trump committed a crime he could be removed from office for.

  • That's a big question in all this.

  • What is the U.

  • S.

  • Constitution say?

  • What is presidential impeachment?

  • Impeachment is a trial without a judge or jury or prosecutor, but instead, politicians accused, prosecute and stand in judgment of another politician in impeachment proceedings.

  • The House of Representatives is the investigator and the prosecutor.

  • The Senate is the judge and the jury.

  • It takes 67 votes to convict and only 34 to equip.

  • We've had exactly two impeachments, both of which resulted in acquittals.

  • Andrew Johnson was impeached for actions that were really more political at the time than criminal.

  • And, of course, President Clinton was the last president impeached.

  • He was charged with perjury and obstruction.

  • When the Senate in peaches and removes a judge there, just removing one person's appointed official when the Senate in peaches and removes a president, their undoing the votes of million's.

  • There's a lot of debate about what is an impeachable offense, the Constitution says treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors in other parts of the Constitution.

  • Like the arrest claws, the framers list treason, felony or breach of the peace.

  • The framers knew what kind of language they were using.

  • If they intended for the president to be removed for any crime at all, they would have put that in the text.

  • 12th trivia.

  • The first known windmills were utilized in what country?

  • Persia, Egypt, India or China long ago is 500 a d.

  • Persians used windmills for grinding grain and pumping water.

  • Today, wind power is one of the fastest growing sources of energy on the planet.

  • It's renewable as long as the sun keeps a shining and the wind keeps blowing.

  • It's generally affordable for consumers after it's set up, and it doesn't pollute the air.

  • But it has its downsides.

  • It takes a lot of money upfront to pay for a wind farm.

  • The best wind sites are often far away from the homes, and businesses that need the energy and wind turbines can kill birds and other wildlife.

  • They can also be noisy and unattractive to look at.

  • Unless, of course, they're built far out at sea That cost substantially Maur than building them on land.

  • And it gives workers the opportunity to live a very unique, if remote, lifestyle.

  • If you look at the surface area that this wind farm covers its 40 by 15 kilometers, each turbine is about 100 meters talk, and the blades of 75 meters eat a total area that the Blakes cover that's bigger than the Millennium Wheel.

  • One rotation off this turbine power average home for one day because we're so far offshore for this project.

  • We figured that it would be best to have the whole crew working here, living together on one platform.

  • So the site management, normally based on shore, is actually based off shore at the moment.

  • So there's around on average, 100 plus people on this offshore hotel.

  • That's what it is.

  • Demons, endeavor.

  • That's accommodation checkup, and that's a vessel with legs so it can actually jek itself out of the board.

  • It lowers its legs into the seabed and pushes further.

  • And then the vessel comes out of the water.

  • And then there's a stable platform.

  • I mean, look around you.

  • This is our This is our open office right, open office.

  • Two point.

  • Oh, that's, uh, that's why we are now all the people who work and live and sleep here they are on a two week on two weeks off rotation.

  • There is a cinema in this high speed Internet.

  • There is Jim.

  • There's a great kitchen.

  • There's a lounge room with a good office for some people.

  • I think it's better than being at home part of them.

  • Stay onboard this vessel, do the planning for the day and the other guys, they say they don't go to various locations.

  • Way is the biggest offshore wind farm that anyone has ever built.

  • What we're actually building is 174.

  • Enormous wind turbines were spacing them out over 400 square kilometres of seabed between each tube on and the next to mine.

  • There was a cable buried in to see that and all these cables from all these turbines.

  • They all go into each substation from where the electricity then goes into the national grits, and from there it goes into people's homes.

  • Drawback of having turbines offshore is you need to get there and when there's a lot of wins, that's why we built them here.

  • There's a lot of waves, and when there's a lot of waves, you can't get with the vessel, too.

  • For any helicopter flights that you undertake overland, you can basically just step in.

  • But when you fly further off shore, you need thio.

  • Do so called you it.

  • That's a helicopter on the water escape training where you're trained, what to do when a helicopter lands in water and maybe rotates you.

  • It's about a week's training that you need to go through to be fully certified to work here, flying out from shore two horns a year.

  • It's a gift every time.

  • It's a it's a present.

  • Going to work.

  • Summer may have officially ended on Monday, but in many parts of the world it's still warm enough to do this.

  • And in Malaysia, it's always warm enough to take a ride on the world's longest inner tube water slide.

  • It just received the Guinness World Record.

  • It's more than 3600 feet long, which is approaching 3/4 of a mile.

  • You take a cable car chair lift to get to the top, and it takes four minutes to get from start to finish.

  • You could watch part of a movie in that amount of time.

  • Consider slider man sliders and cane in slide out slide ways.

  • The slider.

  • House rules Slide and prejudice The slide of the Yankees.

  • Seven slides for seven Brothers West Slide Story, His girl slide a Bonnie and slide.

  • And, of course, there's also the shape of water, water, birds, gravity and jaws, which would make for one ex sliding trip of Carla.

on the last day of the work week.
