A highlight from George C. Wolfe - 'Rustin'

"Monarch Legacy of Monsters, an Apple Original Series. The world is on fire. I decided to do something about it. On November 17th. This place, it's not ours. Believe me. The most massive event of the year arrives. If you come with me, you'll know everything, I promise. Oh my God, go, go, go! Monarch Legacy of Monsters, streaming November 17th. Only on Apple TV+. My guest today is one of the great storytellers of Stage and Screen, which is why it's only fitting that he's here at the Fest to collect the Storyteller Award. He's a playwright best known for writing 1986's The Colored Museum and co -writing 1992's Jelly's Last Gem. He's a theater director best known for directing the original Broadway productions of Angels in America Millennium Approaches and Angels in America Perestroika, two landmark plays in 1993, and a host of Broadway musicals, including 1996's Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk, 2004's Caroline or Change, and 2016's Shuffle Along. And he's a screen director best known for directing the 2005 limited series Lackawanna Blues and the films Night in Rodanthe from 2008, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from 2017, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom from 2020, and this year's Rustin, the story of Bayard Rustin, the gay civil rights activist who organized the 1963 March on Washington. Over the course of his career, this 69 -year -old has been nominated 15 times for a Tony Award, winning three for best direction of a play for Angels in America Millennium Approaches in 1993, best direction of a musical for Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk in 1996, and best special theatrical event for Elaine Stritch at Liberty in 2002. He was nominated for an Emmy best directing for a limited series for Lackawanna Blues in 2005, and he has twice been nominated for the Directors Guild of America Award for outstanding directing of a miniseries or TV film for Lackawanna Blues in 2006, which resulted in a win, and for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in 2018. The New York Times' Ben Brantley has described him as a brilliant stage director, arguably the best now working in the American theater. The Los Angeles Times declared, there are few living talents who could be viewed as as much of a New York theater institution. Interview Magazine said it would be difficult to overstate his status on Broadway, and Tony Kushner proclaimed that he is the premier theater artist of my generation. And those are just the quotes about his work in theater. There are many more about his work in film. But without further ado, would you please join me in welcoming to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival and to the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast, Mr. George C. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe, thank you so much for coming to Savannah. Glad to be here, glad to. Let's just start at the very beginning. Where were you born and raised, and what did your folks do for a living? I was born and raised in Frankfort, Kentucky. My mother was a teacher, and she later became a principal of the schools. I went to that school. She taught me. It was horrifying. My father worked for the state government, and that's that. For the first eight years of your life, the town in which you grew up was segregated. Yes. You have spoken about wanting to go see a movie, 101 Dalmatians, and not being able to do that because of your race. Well, my grandmother was this incredibly ferocious figure who would take on anybody. I telling remember her that I wanted to go see 101 Dalmatians at the Capitol Theater. I remember her calling and them telling her no. It was sort of startling and shocking and fascinating because it was the first time I'd ever see her come into contact with a no. So that was fascinating. But then it integrated, and then at one point, when I went to high school, I was editor of the high school newspaper, and I went and convinced the man who ran the Capitol Theater that I should go see movies for free so that I could write reviews. He said, but by the time the review comes out, the movies will be gone. I said, but it's cultivating a love of movies, and so that's what my column will do. It was my slight payback because then I got to go see movies for free. I love it. Let's talk, though, there's a moment you've described over the years. You were in fourth grade, and your, at that time, all black grade goes to an all white class. But that time, I think it was probably a little bit older, so I got about the PTA and the singing. Well, I think by that time, Frankfurt was integrated, but I still went to this black school which was connected to a university there. And the principal, this woman named Minnie J. Hitch, you told us, because we were going to be singing a song, and the lyrics were these truths we are declaring that all men are the same, that liberty is a torch burning with a steady flame. And she told us that when we got to the line that liberty is a torch burning with a steady flame, we should sing it with a ferocity and that we would shatter all racism in the room. So I literally remember these truths we are declaring that all men are the same, that liberty is a torch, you know. And then racism was gone. And racism was gone, exactly. They were all transformed. But it sort of was like so cluelessly wonderful for somebody to tell someone that young that if you say words and if you say them with power and conviction, you can change people. And that sense of potency of conviction and language was embedded in me, and it's never left. When did you see your first theatrical production that was done professionally? When I was 12 or 13, my mother went to do some advanced degree work at NYU, and she brought me a log, and it was one summer. And so I saw a production of West Side Story that was done at the State Theater at Lincoln Center. Then I saw a production of Hello Dolly with Cab Calloway and Pearl Bailey. And then I saw a production, as it turns out, from the Public Theater and Mobile Unit that Cleavon Little played Hamlet. Wow. And it was done in Washington Square Park. Wow. And some in respect, each of those three productions had, I think, a lasting impact on a kind of aesthetic. Right. And the thing interesting about the Mobile Unit, it was free. And so it was seeing the rawness of that energy of the audience was also very, it was very, very, really wonderful and really interesting and great. So the throughout rest of your time in high school, you were increasingly involved in theater and school. I don't know if it was specific, I think, was it writing, directing, acting? What were you focused on at that point? Acting and directing. And also it's very interesting because when I went to that high school, I stuttered really intensely. So this is one thing I was talking about earlier. So they decided that I was stupid because I stuttered. And so they called my mother over to the school to say, and they wanted to put me in remedial classes. And she says, are you crazy? No, that's not happening. And so I developed an Evita complex. So I said, by the time I leave this school, I will be running it. And so I was editor. I was drum major. I was the worst drum major since the dawn of time. I just, you know, I was editor of the newspaper, of the literary magazine. I just did all these stubs just to, you know, how dare you dismiss? I could tell. And I never heard the story about them calling my mother over, but I could tell I was being disregarded. Right. I sensed it. And I went, no. So you start college in Kentucky and then move to Pomona and California. What at that time? This is there. Oh, yeah. We're doing the whole thing. Exactly. What was the idea of going out to California? Was it just to have a change of scenery or did you were you already thinking maybe that's where you go if you want to be in show business? No, not at all. I had always dreamed of going to New York. I would I would watch, you know, TV shows that were set in New York, like the Dick Van Dyke Show. And I remember this is kind of neurotic and crazy. But I what I really I was obsessed with Disney and I wanted to have my own amusement park. But I wanted money. I knew you need a lot of money. So I decided that actors made a lot of money. This is when I was seven or eight. And so and I knew the actors starved. So when I was seven or eight, I used to practice not eating. So that when I went to New York, this is insanely true that, you know, that I so I could deal with it, you know. Well, little did I know one doesn't need to practice starvation. So you graduate from Pomona, go to L .A. for a little while to do theater, to do theater. OK, now theater, as I guess you quickly concluded, is primarily in New York. Well, yeah, I mean, at one point I did shows and I started to get some good reviews in the L .A. Times. And then I got called in. I don't even remember for to be a writer on a sitcom. And and I and I said something funny and they said, oh, he's quick. We're going to have to tie one hand behind his back. And I took that literally. And that's when I went I'm moving to New York. You know, I just was it was like time to go time to go time to go confront a whole bunch of other stuff and things I need to learn and get smarter about. Well, so, OK, you move. It's 1979. You're in your 20s. You moved to New York. Early 20s. Early 20s. Right, right, right. Very early. In fact, I was 19. I was just pretending to be 20. Something like that. Yeah. You moved to New York. There are a number of years then after moving there that were we can say lean. You got to put into practice not eating so much. You what said once quote, I came to New York to write and direct. And when I got here, a lot of my rage came out. Close quote. What do you mean by that? Well, it's so interesting because in L .A., it's you know, it's you know, there's more space. So so, you know, poverty and wealth are very much so separated. And then in New York, it's, you know, they're next door to each other. And the intensity of the inequity at the time, plus the fact that I had no real power over my existence, sort of magnified all of that. And I remember I remember seeing I remember at one time seeing this image of this of this woman in a fur coat. It was winter and eating chocolates and there was a subway vent and there was this homeless woman sitting there. And she had newspaper wrapped around her legs instead of boots. And she was like like crazy and was like and just seeing those two images next to each other. It's you know, it's the thing about New York. Every single time you step foot outside your front door, you see somebody who is worse off than you and you see somebody who is living a completely different life to you. So you have you get instant perspective whether you want it or not. So in those those leaner years, you are teaching a little bit. You're going to get your own MFA at NYU Tisch in dramatic writing, your... Dramatic writing and musical theater and a double MFA. And then there's a opportunity to have a work of yours produced for the first time at Playwrights' Horizon, which is a big deal. Playwrights? No. And how did that go? Well, it it was interesting. It was it was ultimately the best thing that could have happened for my career. I didn't direct it. I wrote the I wrote the book and I wrote the lyrics for it. And it and there were things that in the rehearsal process that I. And also, when I first came to New York, I said, I'm a writer and director, and they said, no, you can't do both. You have to focus in on one. I said, but I could do both. And they said, no, you can't. So I focused just on the writing. So then I there were things that were happening in the rehearsal room that I knew weren't right. But in the spirit of ra ra ra, getting along and being good guy and all this sort of stuff, I didn't object. And then I remember there was a tornado passing through New York City on the day my bad review came out. So I'm standing on the corner of 95th and Broadway with the winds blowing. I'm reading this hate review. And it was so very painful. But it was really interesting because it was very good for me because, you know, I went, oh, if this happens again, if I get another bad review. And of course, I've gotten bad reviews. But if it's going to be because it's my vision. Because it's I because I put every single thing I had on the line. Everybody, we're only in the room to make a very beautiful baby. And if we become good friends as a result of that, that's fine. But we all have a responsibility. The people that you're collaborating with to do their finest, best work. And you have to do your finest, best work. And it was interestingly enough, when I was at NYU, the piece that I wrote that bombed, I went, oh, this is going to be successful. And then there was this play that I wrote just for myself called The Colored Museum. And yeah, none of y 'all applauded when I said the title of the other thing, Paradise, did you? No. But that's what happened. It was the most interesting thing because I wrote one for success and I wrote one for myself. And that was the thing that succeeded. And so it was a very deeply, deeply, deeply valuable lesson. It was just like, and then eight weeks later, all those people who trashed, eight weeks, no, eight months were that it were eight weeks. Eight months later, all those people who trashed me were going, oh, where has he been? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I'm so glad it happened that way. I'm so glad that the first piece was treated that way so that therefore it gave me a clarity and a sense of responsibility. And doing and doing work that I believed in and and that was that I believe mattered as opposed to something that was going to lead to success. It was just one of those slap you in the face and get smart, George. So you mentioned The Colored Museum, which let's just say, though, you know, you had you're coming off the rough review. How did you even get the opportunity to do The Colored Museum, which is going to as if you don't know, it was the first big success for Mr. Wolf. So how did that opportunity even come out of that? Well, it came out of that because I was at Playwrights Horizons because the guy named Lee Richardson, who was running a theater called Crossroads, said you're at Playwrights Horizons. And I don't think there's ever been a black playwright at Playwrights Horizons. Do you have something else that you've written? I said, well, funny you should ask. Dada, Colored Museum. And so that's how it happened. So there is there were they were both connected in a in a in a way that didn't seem so at the time, but was sort of brilliantly perfect. I want to ask you. So The Colored Museum is produced at Crossroads in 86 and then moved to the Public Theater in 87, which you'll notice the Public Theater, the great off Broadway institution, is going to come up quite a few times in this conversation. But for people who weren't around at that time or don't know or whatever, can you describe what The Colored Museum is about and what the controversy backlash that that provoked was? Because it was you you had to develop thick skin early on because it was not all fun and games in response to that one either. Well, but that was different. That was called pure unadulterated jealousy. So that was that was that was just, you know, I came from nowhere and all of a sudden I'm at the Public Theater. And Frank Rich wrote a wrote a review, a rave review, and said it's the kind of playwright who takes no prisoners. And people thought and that meant he kills people. The language kills them. And people thought that that meant I was soft. So it was just like that was just dumb cluelessness. That was very that was very easy to dismiss. And and, you know, and it was it was just jealousy. It was and that I, you know, I went, oh, my feelings are hurt. Oh, I'm over that. OK, go to hell. You know, it's just sort of like I didn't I didn't sweat about that. Well, tell us a little bit about the show, because this is your big success. First. Yeah, it was first. Well, it's it's interesting when I was at NYU. In the dramatic writing program, there are about three or four people writing plays about old black tap dancers, and they didn't happen to be old black or tap dancers. And so and I was just I was just I just thought about it. And I said, so somebody has figured out, has made a decision or dynamics have been created so that people have decided what black is. And I'm going, I'm black, I'm black my entire life. And I view it as this ever changing, complicated, insane, brilliant, amazing thing. So it was an effort to shatter, shatter any preconceived notions that I thought were going to stand in the way of what I wanted to create. So I wrote this play, which was eight exhibits set inside a museum. So I wanted to shatter all the perception, any perceptions that were in my head. So it's to liberate me to go in any direction that I wanted it to. And that's what happened. And it became this and it became this very successful show. It played, I think, for I think for 10 months at the Public Theater. Then it went to the Royal Court in London. Then it toured all around. And now it's it's high schools do it now and stuff, which is great. So it's in. And then as a result of it, then I started getting interesting from that. I went from, you know, being completely flat broke to then I met the kids of studios. I got Mike Nichols wanted me to write a movie for him. Robert Altman wanted me to write movies. So all of a sudden, you know, these job opportunities happened. But it wasn't for many years that you actually went into film. In the meantime, you were kind of seizing this interest in the theater, this opportunity now in theater. There was a person who is legendary by the name of Joseph Papp, who founded and ran the public, who took a great interest in you and, you know, brought you in there. And and we can say, you know, in addition to producing the colored museum, right. Named you one of three resident directors there offered to have a producing entity within the public for you. This was a big champion to have. He then passes away in 1991. He gets succeeded by a lady who was there for only 18 months. And then in August 1993, this institution of the sort of first thing that comes to mind when you think, at least for me, off Broadway comes looking for a new director. How did you become aware that there was interest in you for that position? And was it was that job, which you then spoiler alert, got and held for the next 12 years? Was it what you thought it would be? Nothing is ever what you think is going to be. But that's the point of the journey. It was actually it was I was I directed a Broadway show called Jealous Last Jab. And then I was then offered Angels in America. And and then I was in the middle of directing a seven hour play. And then they called up my lawyer and said, we want to talk to George about running the public theater. And I went, well, I'm kind of busy right now. Can they come back after? And they said no. And so they wanted to make a decision. So when I was in rehearsal, it was announced that I was running the public theater. It was I loved the thing which I loved. I loved, loved about running the public theater was giving artists money, giving artists money and spaces where they could go do work. It was that, you know, because I after after Jelly, I went, oh, this is hard. Surviving Broadway and dealing with all of these all of the dynamics and the money and the audiences and all of that stuff. This is really, really hard. And you have to be really, really tough. And so I knew all these artists who were really gifted, incredibly gifted people, but maybe weren't as tough. Can we can I just mention a few? Because these are shows that were given a spotlight by you in those years, which, in fact, several of them were just revived in the last couple of years. So decades later, people are, you know, coming back to them. But let's note, Twilight, Los Angeles, 1992. This was a dear, dear, very Smith and important show there. That was 1994. We had Top Dog Underdog, Suzan -Laurie Parks wins the Pulitzer for that 19 excuse me, 2002. Take me out again. Just revive. So these are the kinds of people who were talking about where you can. And this the public was not particularly known for its being inclusive prior to your tenure. Well, I'd say it was I think probably yes. I think it's also a place that gave us, you know, for colored girls and it's also a place that gave us for short eyes. So I'm so I would I wouldn't totally agree with that. And also these were very smart artists and these were tough artists. But there were, you know, it's just you people when you're beginning, you need a place to play, which means you need a place to fail so that you can get smarter. Like I had with Playwrights Horizons, you need you need to to do the work and not feel the pressure of it being the biggest hit in the world because you're growing and you're learning and you're getting smarter and you're getting tougher and you're learning more savvy. Just like the things that I allowed on the first production that was done, I didn't allow on the second one. And so you get, you know, so you're growing, you're growing all these muscles. It's not just your talent muscles. It's your your ability to defend yourself and to protect your work and to go, I disagree with that. And, you know, I remember one time there was a writer who was doing a play and a couple of things got really wonky at rehearsals. And I said, well, why didn't you speak up? He said, well, I was just scared that I was actually doing a play at the public theater and somebody was going to discover I didn't know what the hell I was doing and throw me out. And it's that fear you have to get. You have to realize that fear and doubt and other stuff, all that stuff is a part of growing and you have to have permission to grow. And so that's that's what I took on very much so, which is creating a space that was there. I wanted the I wanted the audiences and the artists there. I wanted it to look like the subway at rush hour in New York. I wanted to have all kinds of people there. So that was the thing that I loved after a while. It became very, very clear to me that as much as I was creating spaces for other artists, it was very challenging to be one. And while being in charge. Well, let's go back to, again, what you were doing when you got that opportunity to go there, because this was the beginning. While you're creating these opportunities for people off Broadway, you were making your first inroads on Broadway. As you mentioned, Jelly's Last Jam, 1992, you co -wrote and directed this about Jelly Roll Morton and the birth of jazz. Your first Broadway show musical with Gregory Hines and small role the first time you're working with Savion Glover. And this gets 11 Tony nominations, wins three and sort of leads to Angels in America. Now, this is it's been looked back at. I think the New York Times looked at it as the greatest show on Broadway of the last 30 years. It's an all timer, obviously, but you first saw it as a spectator in Los Angeles. It started at the Mark Tabor Forum. There doesn't sound like there was even a thought in your head that you might ever have anything to do with this. How did that change? Well, Jelly had opened up and I worked with a producer named Margo Lion, who passed away, who was a very dear friend of mine. And everybody, you know, and there were some changes that were going to be made from the Tabor to when it moved to Broadway. And she brought my name up and Tony Kushner and someone called me up and said, Tony Kushner wants to come and talk to you. I said, OK. And he came over and he talked and I had never read the play. I had only seen it. So I talked to him about it and just gave him my observations.

Today House Republicans are questioning several agencies that they say lack transparency in their telework data. Federal News Network's Drew Friedman has more. Oversight and Accountability Committee members say 11 of the 25 agencies that they asked for more information did not share how many of their employees are currently teleworking. Committee members are holding a hearing today to press a few of those agencies for details on the impact of telework and productivity. The agencies testifying are the Social Security Administration, the Commerce Department, USAID, and the Department of Health and Human Services. It's a follow -up to a hearing a couple months back that featured a few agencies the members said made good faith efforts to answer questions on telework data. Drew Friedman, Federal News Network.

A highlight from No Cease Fire

"All right, welcome to the Dennis Prager Show. I'm your guest host, Carl Jackson, sitting in for Dennis Prager. The number to call in, 1 -8 -Prager, 776. That is 1 -8 -Prager, 776. Sitting in studio with me, Lou's got my back right here at AM 950 The Answer, 94 .9 FM. Go to TheAnswerOrlando .com. You can see all of our great programming here. I would certainly appreciate that. Sean McConnell is in my ear. Alan Estrin, thank you so much for inviting me back. I want to thank, obviously, Dennis Prager and Sue for trusting me behind this microphone. It really means a lot to me. I certainly appreciate that. Mr. McConnell, who do we have on the lines? All right, Suzette is on the lines. I thought I heard Tony earlier as well. Anyway, Suzette, so glad to have you with us. The number to call in, 1 -8 -Prager, 776. 1 -8 -Prager, 776. I have so much that I want to get to that it's absolutely unbelievable. I've got to mute my phone, apparently, and my laptop here. But listen, I wasn't exactly sure how I was going to come at this show, to be frank, with those of you that are in the listening audience. I'm watching my country, and every day I'm looking at my country and I'm watching what's happening. I'm looking at our leadership. I'm looking at what's happening with the Israel -Iran slash Hamas war. And I'm just, it's weird. I go home, even though I'm on this microphone, I go home sometimes and I read these headlines and I'm in disbelief of where we are. You know, I recently, or I've been hearing more and more people, including the White House, call for a ceasefire in Israel. I pray to God that Israel, even if it means forgoing any aid from the U .S., I pray that they would absolutely annihilate Hamas, and I pray that they would ignore Biden and the White House. Obviously, Biden and the Vice President and the Democrat Party are catering to portions of their base, which sadly are, they have partly a Hamas constituency, a pro -Hamas constituency. I think I want to talk to you about this. I think I want to start here. Frankly, I wasn't even sure. I got stuff scattered all around me, but guys, I think we are leading up to another 2020 -type summer, another 2020 -type summer of violence, if you will. But I do want to make mention of this. Before the Democrat Party calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, let me call for a ceasefire. Can I do that? I want to call for a ceasefire in St. Louis, Missouri. This was the first city with the highest murder rate in St. Louis. There were 194 murders. By the way, this is as of January of this year, so the numbers have gone up. So I want to call for a ceasefire in the Democrat -run city of St. Louis. Again, 194 murders in 2021. That was with an average of 64 homicides per 100 ,000 inhabitants. There has been a decrease in the city's population since 1993, which, oddly enough, has resulted in a greater murder rate, despite the fact that they have a dipping population. I would also like to call for a ceasefire in the Democrat -run Baltimore, Maryland. That is the second city with the highest murder rate. That is Baltimore, Maryland. Again, there were 348 murders in the city with an average of 58 .63 deaths per 100 ,000 inhabitants. The majority of murders in Baltimore are centered in a few high -density areas. This, according to the Baltimore Sun research, gun deaths are concentrated in a quarter of the city's communities. I bet you don't have to guess who runs those cities. I'd also like to call for a ceasefire in San Juan, Puerto Rico. That is the third city with the highest murder rate. Right under Baltimore, there were 172 murders in the city of San Juan with an average of 54 .03 deaths per 100 ,000 inhabitants. Since Puerto Rico became a colony of the United States going back to 1898, the island has been plagued with crime. The island has been plagued by violent criminal activity for a long time as well. The island has been plagued by illegal activity for a long time, too. By the way, this is USAbyNumbers .com. Also, I'd like to call for a ceasefire in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit, Michigan has been the fourth city with the highest murder rate. All of these cities, with the exception of one that I'll touch on, are run by Democrats. I want to call for a ceasefire there. It seems to me that the Democrat Party are fixated on making sure that no innocent civilians die, despite the fact that Hamas that runs Gaza, despite the fact that they killed more than 1 ,400 Israelis, including American citizens that happen to be there. We don't even know the name of the hostages that have been taken, frankly. So they're since so fixated on calling for a ceasefire in Hamas, I thought just maybe, maybe that they didn't understand that the cities that they run are under fire every freaking day, and perhaps since they run them, perhaps they could do something about it. That's kind of what I'm thinking here. So Detroit has been the fourth city with the highest murder rate in the United States and 34th in the world with a murder rate of 40 .74 per 100 ,000 inhabitants. There has been an increase in violent attacks in Detroit. Although thefts and other crimes have decreased, the city's overall crime has reduced significantly since the 1980s, yet the results are still pretty horrible. And what about a ceasefire in Milwaukee, Wisconsin? So on the western side of Lake Michigan, the American state of Wisconsin contains the metropolis of Milwaukee. It is well known for its viewers, several of which provide tours that detail its contribution to the brewing industry. The Harley -Davidson Museum is there, so that'd be a nice thing to see. That overlooks the what? The Mino Monte River features vintage motorbikes on exhibit, such as one that was owned by Elvis Presley. I'd love to see that. The Milwaukee Public Museum is close by and features an expansive European village, as well as a replica of early Milwaukee, but the murder rate there is 42 .5 of 100 ,000 inhabitants. So you've got to make sure that you don't get a cap popped in you while you're on your way to the museum. How about a ceasefire in New Orleans? How about a ceasefire there? New Orleans, Louisiana. That has a murder rate of 40 .6 per 100 ,000 inhabitants. I'm sure the Democrats are all over that. Guys, this is a party of chaos. This is a party, the Democrat Party, it is a party of murder. It is a pro -hamas party.

Fresh "1993" from Bloomberg Daybreak Europe

"Would there be a better way at any one point? We didn't think so. I still don't think so, but I'm open to that argument. But what is meant by better? That approach pragmatic to the world as it is, rather than how policy makers might like it to be what informed Kissinger's view long after he left public office and sought to wield influence as a private citizen. At the age of 88, Kissinger wrote the book On China about the country he helped to bring back to the stage. world In a 2020 interview at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, Kissinger warned of the risks of adaptation between the world's two biggest economies. Let's set it some basis of cooperative action. The world will slide into a catastrophe, comparable to World War I. Henry Kissinger worked to head off that catastrophe after he reached his 100th birthday. As President Biden sent cabinet secretaries to Beijing in 1993 to stabilize relations, the one US diplomat that Chinese President Xi Jinping would meet face face to was the man he called an old friend to China, former Secretary of State Henry I'm Nathan Hager, Bloomberg Radio. So looking back at the life of Henry Kissinger, perhaps one of the biggest figures in geopolitics of the 20th century wielding influence over many decades, even though he had left the sort of formal arena, still visiting China and giving interviews right up until his death for close to 100 years. And as Nathan was pointing out, controversial in some of his policy actions, of course, and the impacts of that still being felt for for for many in Cambodia. But when it comes to the question of China, this this revered place in terms of the linkages between the US and China and seen as a trusted vehicle in which to communicate concerns China's and equally for the US to communicate with China. And his book on China still is seen as essential reading for thinking about modern modern day modern day China and the politics of that country. Fascinating. All right, let's turn our attention then away from that and to the Federal Reserve. Yesterday, we had a couple of Fed speakers, the Cleveland Fed President, Loretta Mesta, also Atlanta Fed President, Raphael Bostic, making the case for continuing to hold interest rates steady. A third Richmond Fed chief Thomas Barkin said that he isn't yet convinced. All three are voting members on the FOMC next year and this of course is having big, big impacts in terms of bond markets this morning. Let's bring in Bloomberg's China government and economy editor, Jill Deeses. Good morning. Should we start on the US and we'll come on to the China data in a moment. The US inflation trajectory, change the and the tone of the Fed commentary ahead of course of the next Fed meeting in December. Jill, what do you make of it? Well, I think Caroline at this point it does seem like we're pretty set for a fold once we have that FOMC meeting in December. If you look at the latest data that we have out of the US, the Fed's Facebook survey was just released yesterday showing that sales of discretionary items, durable goods, you're looking at furniture appliances were declining indicating that the American consumer is pulling back on spending that's coupled with obviously recent data and in brief weeks showing a cooling of the labor market. Now, Caroline, this is obviously a really important gauge to look out for because as the Fed has made clear several times including of several the Fed speakers this week have said that they really want to be data dependent when it comes to making these Fed decisions in the coming weeks and months. This is probably some of the best sort current of data that we have. A lot of the gold standard benchmark official data that we get is often very backward looking. So at this point obviously showing that you're seeing that cooling off in terms of what people are spending money on, you're seeing. I think some additional data showing cooling in the labor market that does all sort of point to what these guys been have saying over the past several days, which is that we're headed for a pause and then we'll ultimately have to see where we start cutting next year. I think that's what the question is ultimately turning to. And meanwhile, Jill, the data out of China, manufacturing services, PMI data softening below expectations, and some now increasing clamor for policy support, but that's been a story we've heard before. Talk to us about the data mean when it could for the reaction function of the PBOC and the finance ministry. Yes, Tom, certainly. So what we got out of China today was this official manufacturing PMI data showing, yes, as you said, a deeper contraction than we were expecting. Now, this has been falling off despite the fact that seasonality suggests you should actually be getting a bit of a rise as you're heading into the holiday season for China. We're certainly seeing things and factory activity losing some steam here. Tom, what I was more concerned about was looking at some of these underlying services gauges. So if you look at the gauge of non -manufacturing activity that's measuring both construction and services activity that did still remain in expansion, but part the of pull down in that from the prior month did come from the services activity actually contracting in the month. uh, Now, Chinese officials are saying that's because comparing to October when people were traveling for golden week. And so it's a less favorable comparison when you get into November. But I do think that that indicates some ongoing issues with demand. Now you talk about policy support. I think at this point it seems pretty entrenched that China is shifting into this mode of thinking more about fiscal stimulus, fiscal funding, and how the back can contribute to economic activity more than policy at this point. But I think as we start to get into 2024, we are seeing some pressures ease a bit on the UN just as the dollar comes down a little bit. So maybe there is a little bit of room for another rate cut at the beginning of January and February. Okay Jill, thank you so much for joining us on the Economics in the UK and China, Bloomberg's China government and economy editor, Jill Deeses. Okay, it's 9 .23 here in the City of London, time to briefly check in on your markets. European stocks posting gains of two tenths of a percent so far this Thursday building on the yesterday.

Spilled Coffee (MM #4601)

"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. Back in 1993 -94, McDonald's was involved in a lawsuit over their coffee. That's why we have those little disclaimers on all coffee cups now that say caution, hot contents or some form of that. Yeah, the McDonald's coffee lawsuit is very fascinating reading and it's been parodied on most Seinfeld and a host of other TV shows and movies and things like that throughout the years. You would think by now places that served coffee would make sure it didn't happen again. But just recently in Georgia, $3 million awarded to a Dunkin Donuts patron who had scalding coffee spilled into their lap. It's been 30 years since the original McDonald's lawsuit. Come to find out back before that lawsuit, there would be hundreds of people a year who were scalded by coffee and never filed a lawsuit. At this point, places that serve coffee should know better. Even if you've got disclaimers on the cups, you've got to watch how hot it gets and more importantly, make sure you have a cup that has a lid that stays on. Lids fall off these cheap cups all the time now. Three million dollars later, a Dunkin Donuts franchisee is feeling the pain.

Fresh update on "1993" discussed on Mark Levin

"A civil lawsuit claims Mayor Adams sexually assaulted a woman back in 1993 after Thanksgiving Day event. Adams telling reporters this never happened. I would not harm anyone in any manner such as that. My career speaks for that. The lawsuit filed by Loner Beach Mathur also claims battery employment discrimination based on gender retaliation in the creation of a hostile work environment. She's seeking $5 million in damages and a jury trial. The complaint filed two days before the state's Adult Survivors Act expires. The law signed by Governor Honko last year here permits individuals to file claims of sexual assault which occurred when they were 18 or older.

"The Nason Minute with Kevin Nason. Back in the 1970s, we had this fondness for the 1950s. That's when Happy Days and American Graffiti and Grease all happened. It was almost like the 20 -year mark was okay, so we started thinking about the past. But I realized it's kind of changed, because now we're in a 90s loop.

It's kind of funny how things that are all 90s now are popular, are coming back in style. It's been almost 30 years for some part of the 90s. I wonder why trends happen that way. Why we regurgitate things in the past in a 20 -30 year increment. They basically say a generation, in theory, lasts 25 years. When things become classic, it's past the 25 -year mark. Well, we reached the 25 -year mark for part of the 90s, and so now they're coming back in style. But will the 60s ever come back? I'll be honest with you, I guess we're getting ready for an early 2000s resurgence. I wouldn't even know what to think about then. I don't even remember that anymore.

Another one that did really well in the box office. So you'll find out Monday night. It's a good one though. I'm excited to drop it on you. So we did that true crime podcast, Wedding Scammer, hosted and created by Justin Sales. And it did really well. People liked it. And it makes me super happy because Justin Sales is a great guy. And he's been with The Ringer pretty much since the beginning. But it's nice when somebody works their ass off on something and it actually pays off. So I'm glad people like it. Check out the first episode. It's not that long. It's really well done. And you will definitely 100 % enjoy it. Okay. Let's bring in the cuz. Let's talk some football. Let's talk some wound licking with some bets, some Eagles, all kinds of things. It's all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam! All right. We are taping this. It is 830 Pacific time on Sunday night. Cousin Sal is here as always. He's wearing a nice, fresh Oregon hat that I think you probably bought probably this weekend. You went to visit your son? Smells very new. Yeah, I went to visit my son. I'm not happy with the way my hair looks. And I think the hat's an improvement. So what am I going to do? It looks great. We just watched Dolphins Eagles just now. And at the same time, Rangers Astros was happening. And it really felt like, I don't know, it felt like a great October sports night there. And then Texas blew it open in the end. But next week, we'll have basketball. There will be baseball going on. It'll really feel like October. The Eagles though. So right as I start sending texts to Eagles people in my life wondering what's going on with Hurts and what's going on with this team, and then they just turn it on and they win by 14. It's weird. Eye test wise versus the stats and just looking at the standings and stuff. It's a team that doesn't seem like they have all their shit together. And yet it doesn't matter because they have so much talent. They can just kind of pick and choose. And then all of a sudden they win anyway. I know don't what other team in the NFL is like this. Do you see that too? Yeah, absolutely. And it's a bummer because I think you agree. The Dolphins are, I don't know, favorite team to watch if you have to cut everything else out. Best offense, so much going on, like dynamic, Tyreek Hill, anything. Tua. But when they play a game like this, when they go to Buffalo, they're just going to get beat in the trenches. And like what you said is it doesn't really matter if you're so physical, Philadelphia, offensively or defensively. And like Tua's getting swallowed up in the pocket on third and ones. And where Philadelphia could just run that tush push like it or not, it's going to move the chains every time. So, yeah, it sucks. Yeah. The less flashy team wins. And they happen to be in my favorite team's division. But that's what's going to happen in January. Ten turnovers for Hertz. He had eight off last year. There's times where, you know, like sometimes, and I don't know whether he's protecting his body or what's going on, but he'll kind of duck away from taking hits, which is smart. And then he'll have weird throws. And I texted Solak today during third quarter. I'm like, are we going to find out that Hertz has had like torn rib cartilage since week two or, you know, he doesn't look right sometimes. And then in the fourth quarter, all of a sudden looks great. And I don't really know what to make of it. And I can't get a feel for it. But on top of it, they have this tush push thing that in the big drive of the game, they're able to get two straight fourth and ones on their own side of the field. I know we, you and I have talked about it. You've talked about it incessantly. And at the same time, it feels like it is the most important NFL invention in the last five years, this play that nobody can stop ever at any point. If he does, nobody else can do it. I know it's weird. And we likened it to the Tom Brady thing. There was no reason why Tom Brady should convert fourth and one and a half every single time, you know, physically and everything else. But except they had their shit together, the Eagles, they really do. And if he does have cracked ribs, I hope it's from his own teammate, smashing them over the line of scrimmage there. Yeah, it was just wear and tear on the back of his body from several guys. Yeah. So they're performing the Heimlich on him like every eight minutes. So I guess if you're taking the takeaway from the Eagles is nice when they needed to have it, they're also supposed to win. But the AJ Brown piece of it, the fact that they traded, you know, a first round pick basically, and then they paid him. And I don't know, he's one of the four best receivers in the league now. Is he one of the three? He's somewhere on the shortest possible list. I have him on multiple fantasy teams, and it's gotten to the point where I'm just expecting 100 yards in a TD every game. But that turned out to be one of the better trades, I think, of the last 10 years. Just kind of took him from Tennessee. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was ridiculous. And he is such a great possession receiver. And it's like, it's scary, too, because you'll forget about him, too. You probably put Justin Jefferson in the top three. And then every time Cousins drops back the pass or any snap, you're like, all right, this has to go to Jefferson. Otherwise, it's going to go for nothing out of this offense. And then eight tush pushes in a row. And then you see AJ Brown's like, oh, my God, I forgot about this guy. What? He's got 120 yards. It's nuts. So, yeah, dynamite. I like, yeah, there's like four different kind of catches he can make, too, which I think makes him stand out because they can throw those bubble screens. They can just put them right over the middle, like for seven, eight yards. It seems like whenever they want, they can send him deep down the sidelines, which he seems to love. And then that kind of deep over the middle with two guys on him and he can make plays anyway. But he he has, like, I think the biggest bag of any of the receivers right now. Yeah, personal. I don't know. I got these guys. Yeah. Yeah. I hate this team. I don't know. I don't even know what to say anymore. Like, you know, the Miami have what, 10 or 11 penalties? It's just like it's a it's like a mind fuck, too, when you play him, too, because you can't get out of a can't get out of your own way when you play against them. Kyle, don't turn on the tick tock camera for this. Has Philly replaced Boston for most interesting sports city? Like, look at all the shit they have going right now. Right. Right. They're they're about to make the World Series. They have this Eagles team that made the Super Bowl last year and it feels super relevant again, is definitely going to be a final 14 worst case scenario. And then they have this NBA team with this James Harden saga that God only knows how he's going to sabotage things over the next month. But and then you look at my team where my city where I have the the you know, we have a great NBA team, it looks like. And then other than that, completely forgettable across the board. I think Philly's kind of grabbed the mantle a little bit. I don't like it. I don't like it right now. That's not good. And it's not good for their fans because their fans are supposed to just hate the other team, not supposed to like their team. So it doesn't matter if their team is good. Right. Yeah, I don't know. It's a bummer. Although I'll say that they were in this position last year, too. Right. Phillies win the World Series. The Eagles win the Super Bowl. This has been this is the 2020s has kind of been the Philly decade. I don't like it. It's upsetting to me. And fortunately, the Sixers are it seems like they're going to go in the tank. But I got to say they have great crowds like the the Phillies playoff crowds are way up there. That's about as good of a baseball crowd as you're going to get. It really feels like if they can have like a do or die game or a must win game or a clincher at home, you feel like they're going to get it. And whatever happened with Bryce, you know, pretty special, like to sign that guy from another team and he becomes the signature athlete in your city. We had a little bit of that with Manny Ramirez, where we kind of took him from. We paid for it, but took him from Cleveland and he kind of became one of the symbols of that run. But pretty nuts that they just took him from another team and he became what he became. Yeah, it's a great crowd whenever they I mean, I thought the Rams crowd today was dynamite, too, against the Steelers. I thought they really showed up. It's really loud. Yeah, yeah, it's been proud to be from L .A. Yeah, I have a I know you don't want to talk about Phillies, so I'll move on. I have a Tyree question for you. What's your all time receiver list for receivers you've watched just where you're like, that guy's fucking amazing? Because for me, it was always Rice number one and Moss two and then a drop off. And then some people like Tio's three for me. I'm like, cool. Tio is like an absolute franchise murderer and was a huge head case and you couldn't trust him. And as the years pass, the stats will be great. All the fucking drama that he brought to every situation he's in, that stuff will kind of die off. But for me, I think Tyreek's unequivocally three now for me. Every single game, it just you just feel like he's going to have 250 yards as you're watching it, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Unstoppable, Tyreek over Calvin Johnson, that type. Yeah, I think like where you would put him. Yeah, I think for me, he's definitely over Calvin Johnson. Michael Gallup is three, four. I'm trying to see where I would put these people. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. I think he's got to be number three. Although if you look at like Antonio Brown, who's now a punch line, he had like six of the best seasons you'll ever see in a row. But but in terms of presence and being unstoppable, Rice, Moss, Tyreek Hill, it's a good three. That's how I feel. I think, you know, Sharp, I think, could have gotten there in the Packers way back when in the 90s. And then, you know, he hurt his neck and he basically only had like a six or seven year career. But I thought in the 90s, I thought other than Rice, he was the second best guy. Your guy, Irvin, was great. There's no question that team was loaded. We've had some good ones over the years, but Tyreek, the speed, how he just tilts the field over and over again, how scared the other team is of him. How much space he opens up for everybody else. I think he's three. I don't think he'll ever get over Moss or Rice for me, though. I'm trying to think who could pass him, though, now at three. I mean, we've put Justin Jefferson up there before. Now that we haven't seen him for a few weeks, we've kind of forgot about him in the right now. But Hill's done this now for, you know, six, what's it, six years since he's on the 18 Chiefs. I can't remember how many years he's been in the league, but yeah, he'll be stride for stride with two defenders. And then, like, if the ball hangs up there long enough, he's now seven, eight yards past them. Oh, I know who's number four. That's a nice little advantage. Pooka. He is? Guys, see that catch he made on the sideline today? It was pretty great. Before the Rams realized they were going against a force greater than any satanic force or anything, the Pittsburgh Steelers. You want to talk about that? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. So they're four and two. I've watched every play of all six games. I have no idea how they're four and two, but they've hit the point now where I feel like they're going to win when there's no signs. Like that guy missed the extra point today for the Rams and made it nine, three instead of 10, three. I'm like, oh, here we go. Steelers come down. All of a sudden it's 10, nine. They have five first downs because they get the TJ Watt, you know, the pick that sets up the touchdown. And you're just like, here we go. They're doing this. And we've seen this before because this was the Eli Manning. Danny Heifetz was the first person to point this out. This was the Eli Manning recipe for years and years that I can't believe that team's winning. What the fuck just happened? He only made two throws. How did he do it? They're four and two. I totally believe in them. And I feel like they're going to go 12 and five and have a negative point differential. Well, the good thing is we're making money off them, right? We've been and we saw them. Plus, I mean, I thought they'd be favored last Sunday night. I thought they'd be favored, but they're not. So we're doing that thing, but also just taking them because the Steelers. But I found the gem and I gave it out on ringer wise guys, Rams first half Steelers to win the game 10 to one. You know, I'm positive that their bullshit is going to pay dividends and 10 to one. I think it'll hit like three more times. Like you're right. That TJ Watt interception brings it down to the eight. We see some separation from Pickens on a receipt, like the little one drive you wait for all game and it happens. And then that terrible spot at the end, it didn't give him a chance. That that was beyond really big. McVeigh also probably should have had a timeout left. I know. But, you know, what is it important to be like, hey, listen, we could get this right, but we'd rather teach you a lesson, coach, to save your timeouts. Like, I don't, this, the spot thing bothers me more than missed pass interferences because it's an old man jogging eight yards and he has to see between 20 bodies. And then like, you know, he sticks his foot in the mud and says, here, this is like a surveyor from 1835. He's like, this is where your property in, sir. Like we got to put, there's a chip in the ball. Isn't there a chip in the ball? What's it for? It's funny that we figured out Wimbledon. We figured out we've in U .S. Open, we figured out how to measure serves immediately, whether they hit the line or not in football, which seems like it would be really easy to just have some sort of magnet that was attached to the chains. The other thing that was weird about that for the people who didn't see it, the Steelers did fourth and one, they had the lead. There's probably like a little more than two minutes left and they run the QB sneak play, kind of the Brady play where you, you kind of put your head down, but you go left. But he slipped and fell on his knee and his knee went down. And it wasn't one of those when you're watching it where you're like, oh, I wonder if he got it was like, you knew immediately, oh, he didn't get it. He slipped. And then they come in with the spot and then like, oh, he might have gotten it. And they did that. I couldn't believe it. And I'm rooting for the Steelers. But I was like, oh, my God, it's the worst spot of the year. I thought they deserved to win anyway. But but that was pretty tough for the Rams. We need some clarification. And I get it because McVeigh didn't have timeouts and it wasn't actually the two minute warning yet, even though it did wind to that after that. But is there a ref in the sky? Is there this guy in the sky or is this everything has to go back to New York? Like, I feel like we're told three different things. It's a bummer because that could have been overturned. But you're right. Ten to one we hit. Let's just keep doing it. You know, you know who else would have gotten that fourth one? Eli Manning. He would have fallen down a half foot in front and somehow would have gotten the spot. The Rams kicker was the MVP of this game for the Steelers. He missed two longer field goals. They were like 50 yard field goals, but he missed about them. Then he missed that extra point. And then Tomlin just, you know, he threw away the challenge. He screwed up a challenge, which is the Tomlin staple.

We did They Live. I have another movie coming this Monday, Here Are Your Hints, 1993, lost more money than it made. There you go. That's all you need to know. Maybe you'll figure it out. I have on this podcast a lot going on. A little something at the top that I wanted to talk about that ties into what's going on in this Phillies Atlanta series, which is now over because Atlanta became the latest team to dominate the regular season and then lose immediately in the playoffs. So I want to talk about that. I have some thoughts. Million dollar picks. Craig Horlebeck and Danny Heifetz coming on to talk about NFL then and now comparisons for players. And then Austin Gale is going to nerd it up with us about the NFL. Oh wait, there's more basketball. Kyle Mann talking about all the rookies that we have coming into the NBA season in less than two weeks. And last but not least, our friend Joanna Robinson talking to MCU because she has a new book coming out. So this is really, really a loaded podcast. You should be paying for this. You really should. You're lucky this is free. Free content, my friends. Let's bring in Pearl Jam. All right, I'm going to do million dollar picks in one second, taping this on a Thursday morning. I was thinking about my friend James' baby doll Dixon today, whenever there was a Hollywood deal that we always would laugh at and be like, oh my God, I can't believe they did that or can't believe they took that job. And he would always say, money grab, baby. I'm talking about him like he's dead. He's still alive. What a money grab. And we just money grab has been a running joke with baby and Sal and Jimmy and my circles for a long time. Who's doing a money grab? All of the professional sports leagues right now are in one of the all time money grabs we've ever seen. Now, I was thinking about it last night with the Dodgers because on the one hand, the Dodgers get bounced in three games, right? They play this whole regular season. They get this great record and then they get bounced and they're done. And their fans are just irate. They're apoplectic. They can't believe this happened again. Oh my God, we lost momentum. Now, there's some rational Dodger fans that are also like, you know, we did start playing Kershaw in game one of a playoff series and he didn't make it out of the first inning. They lost Urias during the season, who was their best starting pitcher. And it was a pretty flawed Dodger team. Actually, I wasn't surprised that they lost. I didn't think it was gonna be the Diamondbacks. But in general, the Dodger fans are like, I just spent six months watching this team and this season ended in 90 hours. We saw this happen in the NBA with the Bucks and the Heat last April. The Heat was an eight seed. The Heat farted around during the whole regular season and turned it on for a couple games and all of a sudden the Bucks were gone, which was great. It was really fun. Hockey has had this forever. I had hockey season tickets for a couple of years with the Kings and the regular season was so meaningless and so stupid for a team that knew they were gonna make the playoffs that you almost wondered, what was the point? Why am I paying for this other than to see Connor McDavid or a couple other people? The NFL has expanded to 17 games, which all of us love football, but 17 seems way too many, especially with the injury potential. And they're probably gonna go to 18. They'll just keep the gravy train going. And it's all about the money. And I'm not breaking any new ground by saying that, but at what point do we stop carrying? At what point, because I'm there with baseball. Baseball is fun. You put it on every once in a while. But for the most part, if you have a good baseball team, and I've had a few, the 2018 Red Sox were probably the best start to finish baseball team I've ever rooted for, but ultimately they also could have lost and not won or it would have been over. It's all about the playoffs now. And it feels way more random than it ever did. And I don't know if it's a good thing. I think it's a bad thing for baseball because people talk about how fun these wildcard games are and the pitch clock, and I'm with you. I've watched a ton of baseball, but I also didn't really watch any baseball during the regular season. And I'm somebody who grew up loving baseball. I watched baseball my whole life. I wrote a Red Sox book up until probably the late 2000s. I love baseball equally with every other sport. And now I just don't care as much. And there's a million reasons for that. But the biggest reason is the regular season just doesn't matter at all. You could win 120 games and it doesn't matter. The other team could just get hot. Like, well, look at the Phillies right now. The Phillies, who everyone was like, they're built for the playoffs, they're built for the playoffs. That seems like the type of team you should just build. Build a team. Who cares about the regular season? Build it for the playoffs. I think Miami has entered this mode in the NBA just year after year. They don't care. They're going to be like a five seed, six seed, seven seed, eight seed. Doesn't matter. And they'll just see if they can get hot. It's more fun if you have no attention span at all. And maybe it makes more sense in the TikTok generation. But for what I grew up with and what we used to care about was the totality of everything. The regular season meant this. It really meant something to win 100 games of baseball. It was amazing if your basketball team won 60 games. There were just these little markers that you had in your head. And all this stuff ties in. The load management piece, which the NBA is allegedly trying to fix. I'll believe it when I see it. Football adding more games so that the sport is more random than ever before. There's more chance for injury than there's ever been. And there's more chance for just wacky results, which I think is maybe what they want. I'm not sure I want it. I don't like where we are. Like even in baseball, and I think hockey is another one, and I think basketball is another one. The home team should get some sort of advantage for being good during the regular season in baseball. This five game series the Dodgers had against the D -backs. Why wouldn't the Dodgers get all five games at home? The only advantage they get is that if there's a game five where they've just not played for a week and then you get game five at home and that's the advantage. Well, I've watched baseball for the last 25 years. The home field advantage, except for maybe the Phillies, doesn't seem to matter at all. The Red Sox won the majority of their biggest games on the road during the 2000s and 2010s. Can count them up. I always felt like the 0 -14, the 0 -7, I felt like those teams could win anywhere. The 18 team had that crazy extra extra extra innings game against the Dodgers where it seemed like the season was over. Guess what? They won the next game. Home field doesn't matter as much. So if it doesn't matter as much, at least make it so that in round one a team is rewarded for winning a hundred plus games and all their games are at home. And if you want to go in their house and beat them, that seems fair. But to just make it like it's worth one game, I felt the same way with Milwaukee and Miami. I think it should have been Milwaukee gets the first two, Miami gets the next two, Milwaukee gets the next three. They earned it. They got the one seed. So we're heading toward this world where regular seasons will continue to be devalued. They'll try to cover it up with fantasy and gambling, but for the most part, there's going to just going to be more randomness with the results. And I don't think I like that. I don't know if Miami was a better team than Milwaukee last year. I think Giannis got hurt and Jimmy Butler left his body and then they beat Milwaukee in a series and it was fun, but did that mean they were a better team? What's the point of these seasons? Are we just turning everything into March Madness? Feels like where we're heading. I'll tell you this though. It's a fucking money grab. All right. Million Dollar Picks coming up.

A highlight from Embracing the Call to World Missions

"We have a divine mandate to spread the gospel to every corner of the earth. The mission transcends borders, our cultures, our languages, uniting us in a common purpose to make disciples of all nations. So we're going to explore that. We're going to be looking at our role in fulfilling this divine calling. And we are going to now read from Matthew 28 from verse 18. And lo, I'm with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your perfect word. We thank you, Lord, for your amazing grace. We thank you for choosing us to be your children. And we thank you, Lord, for this command to disciple the nations. We thank you that you are with us when we do this. We pray, Lord, that each one of us will seek to be obedient to this, your law. Amen. Well, there's obviously urgency in world missions. Billions of people around the world, half the planet haven't heard the gospel yet. And so we have a great job to be done. People are living in spiritual darkness. The Lord says they're dead. The people are spiritually dead. And so we have to get out. We've got lots of work to be done. We've got a lot of people to speak to and take the gospel to them. And so we often get really bogged down on what the gospel is. But the scripture speaks to us and makes it very clear for us. We have the gospel of salvation. It's used in different contexts, but in the gospel of salvation, which is the message of the salvation of God's Son, Jesus Christ. He was born, crucified, and resurrected for the salvation of men from sin. And then the Bible also speaks about the gospel of the kingdom of God. And that's the comprehensive application of God's word to every area of life, basically running from Genesis 1, 1 all the way to the Revelation 22, verse 21. And so in different times, I'm going to look at different times of things that happen in my life and where I would need to speak to people about the gospel of salvation, be very specific to them of God's saving grace and how amazing that is. And then the other times where we're discipling the nations, where we're teaching God's law, His word in every aspect of it in the situation that we find ourselves in. And so on the 25th of July, 1993, we had some terrorists stepped into our church and they started shooting us and they threw hand grenades into the congregation.

"I wonder if that was maybe a leftover thing in the character sheet from the other hires they wanted to make for this role and they didn't want to change it. It's entirely possible. So i was looking at up. Originally their first choice was david bowie. And then they had hired christopher walken. Who had had to back out the last second. And then john lithgow was cast right before they started filming and he was probably just like. Oh you know. Let me try and do a bowie was he. Was he on third from the sun at this point is right around right around this time. He might have been maybe a couple years later. Maybe like ninety five right. Yeah 'cause started ninety. Six third rock from the sun. So by mostly known for dramatic action roles like vince. I don't really let me. I could look it up. My i don't really know that's a good question. What was john lithgow known for this. Oh yeah he wasn't. Footloose sometime before that too. Yeah yeah mainly until third rock even though we did have a comedy background more famous movies were more of the dramatic action side. Sure so. I feel like he didn't really fit in in this movie. It was a motley crue. Yeah very much. So the cohesion in that crew is pretty much nonexistent. Leads to their downfall. Yeah they turn on each other on the at the drop of a hat and they you can tell the despise one another. No one is willing to stick out their neck for the others yeah travers. Who's the the fbi agent who planned. The whole thing is at odds with john lithgow character from from the very beginning. Nobody else seems to like each other. Either yeah the british guy doesn't like leon is specifically does not like the color of his skin. Yes i think he calls him a black bastard. Right call yes. He says black bastard. He calls him boy. Yeah that's a problem but yeah he's from cool runnings leon..
