Shout Out to the Carpenters Tribute Band & Johnny Mathis

"I got a nice note from a promoter yesterday who heard me talking about that Carpenter's tribute band that I saw over in the same clear Clearwater. Incidentally Tracy who's a lifelong Floridian, she didn't know apparently that they had redone this Ruth eckert hall either. Barb yoder was telling me the general manager used to be real small and kind of a dingy plate now. It's huge. 2100 sheet theater beautiful facility over in Clearwater, and they do some really neat shows and anyway, I went like a goofball, I just went to see the Carpenter's tribute band Sunday, had the time of my life, the lady who was the lead singer, Debbie, oh, dog got it. What's your last name? Debbie Taylor, and this promoter in Wisconsin has worked with her before, and he reached out to her and said, oh, this radio guy, this host, talk show host, loved your show, and she was very nice and said, thanks and everything. Which is nice. You know, it was nice of him to reach out. And after I went to the Carpenter's show, I saw Johnny Mathis is coming to town next weekend. I'm going to go see him next Saturday night. Now, I was about one of the youngest people in the theater for the Carpenter's tribute show. I guarantee you I will be the youngest person at the Johnny Mathis concert. Do you know he's 87 years old? God bless him. Can you believe that? He's still performing. Going around the country, going to Clearwater, Florida, to Ruth eckert hall this Saturday to sing misty and chances are and all those great ballads that he, wow.

"The U.S. second gentleman visits the site of former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz birkenau in Poland as part of commemorations for the 78th anniversary of the liberation of the camp. Doug Emhoff told reporters that he will never forget his emotional visit to the site where he saw children's shoes and human hair stripped from people before they were murdered in the Nazi German death camp, Emhoff was up the site with U.S. ambassador to Poland, Mark brzezinski. They laid a wreath at an execution wall and listened to survivors recall what they had suffered there. The wall has become a focal point for commemorations at the camp. The several other groups also gathering to pay tribute to those who were killed, among those visiting was yossi Mikhail and teacher from Israel, who said he was at Auschwitz birkenau to remember the Holocaust. Today the site with its barracks and barbed wire and the ruins of gas chambers stands as one of the world's most recognized symbols of evil that has been a site of pilgrimage for millions. Emhoff is the first Jewish spouse of either a U.S. president or vice president. He is on a 6 day tour of Poland and Germany meant to further the Biden administration's work fighting anti semitism.

The Inspiring Story of Raido GM Barb Yoder

"General manager of the radio station that carries our show in the Tampa Bay Area, really our flagship station since I live in Florida now full time, barb yoder is a pretty amazing woman. She's the general manager of AMH 60 the answer she runs the cluster of Salem radio stations in the Tampa Bay, saint Pete Clearwater region. And she's a pretty remarkable woman. She's a cancer survivor. And as somebody who has followed her for years and worked with her, that was pretty tough for all of us, not to mention what she went through, and yet she beat it. And when she beat cancer, the journey she was on was inspirational to anyone who knows her because being the strong person of faith that she is, she never, ever expressed any doubt or reluctance to embrace the idea that God had this that God was in control no matter what the outcome God had this. And you know that about people of faith, you know that deeply spiritual believers. Understand that no matter what adversity you face, God has this. It may not be the outcome you want, maybe it will. And thank God in barb yoder's case, it was exactly the outcome that we had all been praying for. She beat it, she is fit and healthy and ever smiling and a great presence in my life.

"But i think that if i did you know we have this podcast and go make a billion dollars The the this makes me think a little bit of some of the conversations around volunteered geographic information Where you know the the the ciego That happened that twenty twelve or something like that. There's a lot of papers generate off of this. So the notion that the official data sources versus the people are just putting stuff out there and information in some cases the unofficial information was more useful to people and when it comes to hazard response. I think a lot of times. It's challenging because you need to solve problems to solve problems very quickly and you need to understand what's going on in the geography in the moment and as a result you've got to sort of delineate between midnight. Look my official sources and go look at the national map and wherever it may be and then as opposed to unofficial sources which could be wrong and a lot of times because not verified. It's not you know It doesn't have a a a meta data behind it to sort of authenticity So melding those two numbers response because the end of the day you want to help people and if you if information that's not authorized and have a meta data and all that stuff is useful than use it. It's useful It has a purpose. But getting all that i think making that inter woven web of information and knowledge in the moment is really tricky. And i kind of think this gets a little bit at teases around some of the concepts of the semantic web Which is a little bit talks about dealing with your suggest. Barb is that you know.

"Is it was wrong for the british to be putting jews behind barbed wire here in the in the land of israel and if you words to make a museum or a heritage site in shall leah. That was historically accurate. It would look so much like the heritage site of athletes. And so many of those remembrances would be the same. And it's so much easier right when saying like the british shouldn't have done this to jews to sort of coming to terms with saying like this is what happened in israel. That's much harder history to confront. So that's my follow up question is should do's be doing this to other people and the reason i ask that is because you're really touches on some very contemporary themes one of which of course is the waves of migrants and asylum seekers who have come in Through africa usually going through horrors as they crossed the sinai desert smuggling themselves in and the israeli authorities have blocked them but part of the claims of those who opposed their presence was always well. They bring horrible. Diseases are there. Ain't girls and have you thought about the insights that we can gain from that. Yeah there are definite parallels. And i think that we need to see to see these parallels and understand how they're playing out now I remember when i was when i was doing my. Hd this sort of a story that that was seared in my memory that Being in a taxi. I was early on in my phd. Thinking that you know in terms of everybody needed to know the story Being in a taxi where the driver was telling me like you know these immigrants who are coming in or they're in. they're not cultured. they're bringing diseases. And i thought that the most vakhidov way to sort of bring this to his attention for him to understand you know i. It was clear to me that he was from a A moroccan origin jewish moroccan. And i said to me you know you need to understand that the things that you're saying now about the people who are coming in where the same things that they people were saying about your mother right that people were saying about your parents and he made it clear to me that i should not speak about his mother that way right like wondering right or or pretty stupid of me right but but the fact that you know what i've seen is being the defense. Then people would then say today like yes but they're not jewish they're not jewish. So it's it's different. And i don't see it as being different right. I saying as being like the way you know because at the time it was saying like yes. But they're they're not shkin azeem or they're you know they're they're holocaust survivors and like is sort of the various ways that we see the people saying others and that need to then keep them out and that that we using disease as an excuse to exclude people in something that is is very very problematic and and i you know what i would hope that i think that you see in. This story is the need to be more. Empathetic is and for and for us to to be more welcoming and and to see to question those barriers that we put in place in the various stages. Isn't it just incredibly curious that your book came out just a few weeks before. Everyone quarantined became a buzzword. And not just a buzzword reality yeah but everyone you know it was probably the most searched word on google Whatever and i ask you whether you think that your work on on quarantining Etcetera gave us some sort of insight into understanding the reality of you know. The current pandemic will struggling with yes. It was very strange. It was very strange for me and it had. I mean it's i think on a personal level i was both very helpful Sort of an in terms of understanding what was going on you know this was just sort of very micro level but it was also very disturbing right under seeing things that you know that could have been prevented and playing out on a public level and right across the world and so many upsetting themes whether it's you know You know the scapegoating of of vulnerable communities You know blaming them for contagion No various Governments using the fear of contagion as a way to further authoritarian. Agendas right and using also the fear of contagion to as a way to justify xenophobic closures. Border border closures again was incredibly disheartening But i think that for me also you know you find comfort where you can. And i think that i saw was teaching my course on the history of disease at the time that the pandemic in a when we went online and the university took comfort in my students sort of learning about these histories and applying them. And seeing them around them. I it's reinforced for me. Which is something. That i've always felt you know but the need for Collaboration between policymakers healthcare workers and humanists right historians of medicine anthropologists have medicine. Who really have something valuable to bring to the table. And i think that when we see this I'm heartened when i see this happening And that's very useful. I think that you know two of them. When i sort of think about the two main points that i think that i would want people to come away with that. I should have also hung to with with the history of quarantine at this time and wine was that when it is implemented carefully quarantine work. This is a global ancient Act of soon very human self preservation. And that when it's done appropriately it can work than the other point that i think is so important. Is that in times of upheaval in uncertain historical times. Very much like the one that we're living through now. We need to watch out to make sure that the most vulnerable members of our communities and marginalized peoples are not being unfairly targeted and excluded. And i think are the two main points that you know that. I just keep coming back to in the midst of this period while you know having this research very central in my mind dr rhona settlement.

Psaki Claims It's 'Irresponsible' to Say Americans 'Are Stranded' in Afghanistan

"Is what our allies think of. A singapore prime minister lee in a joint press conference with comma harris yesterday reports that this cut nineteen countries how collisions and take positions and they have to make agree calculations and adjusted that positions from time to time. Sometimes it can be done smoothly sometimes. Hey cops sometimes as things go awry and take time to put things go. Awry of very diplomatic. Way of saying kabul is food and the jen psaki. The pressure is getting to her question by peter. Doocy a famous clip already cut number eleven. The president likes to say. America is that his policies have americans getting beat up by the taliban and atkins handing babies over barbed wire pendants. Is that when he said what. The president meant is that we are going to continue to lead in the world including being the leaders and evacuating not just our afghan partners. Not just american citizens but also our allies and we have done that by evacuating approximately forty two thousand people over the last month that is americans leading that is our men and women and our military leading on the ground securing the airport after the afghans fleet and didn't secure the airport and ensuring that we are taking care of our partners as we promised to notice. She's blaming the afghans for fleeing the airport. The airport was allegedly the place that the united states decided secure secure after abandoning them. Then came the quote. That's going to live for a long time. Cut number ten presents sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving afghanistan. It's the way that he has ordered it to happen. By pulling the troops before getting these americans who are now stranded this he says of that. First of all irresponsible say americans are stranded. They are not. We are committed to bringing american to wanna come home. We are in touch with them via phone via text via email via any way that we can possibly reach. American people stranded.

"Us attorney and law professor university of michigan. Barb mcquaid barb. Before the break we were talking criminal predication and Some of the hints. I feel that the department of justice may have dropped last week now. I didn't drop them to drop hints. But this is you know the normal work you know workings of of the department of justice but the sort of indicate that they might be looking at this or at least willing to look at this in a criminal investigative way and that is first of all. They said they weren't going to invoke executive privilege over former doj officials which is huge for an 'institutionalised like merrick garland to allow to happen. And then dropped the the notes from richard donahue of the call. That trump made to. Jeffrey rosen acting attorney general and then of course the mo brooks decision and that decision i think had kind of i thought it was bigger news than the mainstream media. Portrayed it to be because you know it said in there. Hey first of all it was a campaign rally so you can't be certified but if even if it's not that the court should certify this because instigating an attack on the capital cannot be part of the job of a congressman or any federal employees and. I thought that that was a huge shot across the bow to anybody. Working in government at the time of the department of justice saying we aren't backing you on this because if the allegations and swallows lawsuit or true you instigated attack on the capital and that can't be part of your job or protected by speech or debate or whatever you know you. Can't you can't do that you can't you can't try to kill your boss as part of your job simply can't be the case now so those sort of all kind of tell me either one. The doj is allowing congress to fully investigate this and get the truth out there or two. They might be thinking about it as well or at least they're willing to. I don't know what do you read from. All of these tea leaves. We got last week from department. Yeah i agree that there was a lot of encouragement from those things. I mean one. You're right it is extraordinary to say. There will be no executive privilege when it comes to the january. Six insurrection and they said it was just extraordinary. And even if ordinarily It may apply to some of these deliberations they had ruled that members of doj and trump administration. You may go forward And provide unrestricted testimony. Well it's interesting and it made me chuckle. A little bit about it is it was it was issued in such a positive way as if all these people are just dying to tell their story and good good news. You provide unrestricted testimony as opposed to saying. Hey forget about thinking about Executive privilege as a shield. Here you need to share the truth about what happened so i thought that was encouraging. I don't know if signals anything other than what they said was for congressional committees who are trying to figure out what happened it certainly well for the january six committee that wants to learn what happened but you are right in that if it applies there it also will apply in any grand jury proceedings for criminal investigations so that is a very important and interesting development. The other i think when you talk about the mo brooks matter You know you can't help but notice the parallels between him and donald trump and so the swallow lawsuit names notches mo brooks but also donald trump and others and The idea that it is not within the scope of one's federal employment to participate in the campaign activity or certainly to incite violence is going to apply equally to donald trump. He's not going to be able to hide behind that same argument as he did in the aegina gerald defamation lawsuit some real about face i think for the justice department But here's how they distinguish them they say presidents do have to give public works and so when he gives public remarks about aging caroline claims that she's lying that is protected. I it was interesting to in the mo brooks decision. How many times they said. Here's when we do certify even in extreme cases and they all their examples were defamation cases. And i was like Is that kind of you. Sort of trying to explain to us why the aging carroll case came out the way it was and then they even said you can sometimes even commit a crime. And we will certify and step in as the defendant in your case if you're crime is ancillary to one of your duties but you the burdens on you to prove that but in no world is instigating an attack on the capital or a campaign rally fall into into that scope. Thought that was. I thought that was a very interesting point that they made. But presumably the dc. Us attorney would be looking at all all of this. I think so. I think when it is Rises to this level. I would have to think that the attorney general deputy.

"Com slash the daily beans and then you'll be able to You know get the information about where that's going to be. We'll have a cocktail together. It'll be fun and we're doing this in lieu of the zoom happy hour so there will not be as i'm happy are for patrons this week. I do apologize. I appreciate you allowing me to do this. Live meet and greet while i'm in manhattan. All right we have a lot of news to get to. Let's hit the high notes. Hot notes all right first up today. Several democrats are calling on house. Minority leader kevin mccarthy to apologize or resign after he said it would be hard not to hit house speaker. Nancy pelosi with the gavel if he become speaker in two thousand twenty two mccarthy who was the keynote speaker for the tennessee. gop's annual statesman. Dinner on saturday we went over the store yesterday was presented at the event with a giant oversized gavel which looked like a participation trophy. It just made him look like a child. It was weird. He then told members of the crowd that they would be invited to his swearing in as house speaker if republicans won back the house. Democrats immediately denounced mccarthy's remarks misogynistic disgraceful. And no laughing matter especially given. The pelosi was a target of january. Sixth insurrection at the capitol. Several democrats demanded mccarthy apologize while others including swallow well and ted lieu of california said. Mccarty should resign liking such rhetoric to the political violence that was on display. Don january six quote. There's nothing funny about hitting speaker pelosi or any woman. Leader mccarthy is failed leader. that's what rep madeleine dean said. And she said nothing will get in the way of his ambitions including joking about hitting women to excite his small base. There's a lot of Shade in that particular tweet from madeleine dean quote. It's no wonder kevin mccarthy can't control his caucus he can't even control his own misogyny another little sort of pointed tweet from laura trae han democrat massachusetts quotas language about assaulting speaker pelosi is despicable and certainly undeserving of a gavel and arizona. Republicans partisan review the fraud. It of the two thousand twenty election results got off to a rocky start as we know when their contractors broke rules for counting ballots and election experts warned that the work was dangerous for democracy when the auditor stopped the counting and return the ballots. This week it didn't get any better in the last week alone. The only audit leader with substantial election experience was locked out of the building went on the radio and said he was quitting and then reversed course hours later. The reviews twitter accounts were suspended for breaking the rules. A conservative republican senator withdrew her support calling the process botched and the lead auditor confirmed what was long suspected that the work was almost entirely paid for by supporters of donald trump. Who were active in the former presidents movement to spread false narratives of election fraud. All this came nearly one hundred days into a process that was supposed to take about sixty days. That's according to senate republicans who launched it at least and is not over yet. Contractors are now producing a report on the findings that could take weeks or more to write. I know it's gonna say two hundred thousand votes or so. That's what they've been saying since they've been coordinating. This turmoil cast even more doubt on the conclusions of what backers described as a forensic audit but what experts and critics as deeply flawed partisan process. And what i call the crazy times carnival audit not even a shred of being salvaged at this point. Senator paul boyer the first republican state senator publicly come out against the audit in may. They've bought it at so many points. Along the way it's it's irrecoverable now. Borders opposition was a little less lonely as of last weekend when another republican senator. Michelle ugalde rita. One of the legislature strongest advocates for stricter voting laws agreed that the trump audit which is what she called. It oops was botched along with all fourteen. Democrats a majority of the senate which commissioned the audit is now against it quote. I wanted to review our election process and see what if anything could be improved. That's what again rio wrote on twitter. Sadly it's now become clear that the audit has been botched botched seems to be the word of the day and again she called trump's audit on wednesday night. Logan ended months of silence. That the head guy about who was paying him. When he said a whopping point seven million had been contributed by political groups run by trump supporters including michael. Flynn sydney powell. Patrick byrne that's the overstock. Ceo who dated maria bhuttan for awhile and correspondence from one. America news network the figure dwarfs the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to be paid by the senate. These are federal fucking crimes. They need to be investigated. Logan has said he was approaching the review objectively and his own views are irrelevant. But logan appeared in the deep rig which is a conspiratorial film claiming the election was stolen from trump. The film makers were given access to the secure area where ballots restored the reviews. Integrity took another hit. When former secretary of state. Ken bennett a republican. Who's experienced in elections lent credibility to the operation found himself locked out of the building where the audit was underway because he'd given outside election experts data without authorization benneteau conservative talk radio host. He was quitting because he was expected to rubber-stamp the findings later the same day. He's said he was not quitting. After all senate president karen fan republican agreed bennett will access to all audit work and spaces procedures and data when the cyber ninjas had hand counted the ballots in it didn't match the county's official tally. The third count was ordered this time using paper counting machines to tally the number of ballots. But not the winning candidates. The findings have not been released. Maybe that's in that report that's due out in a month or so. Meanwhile the time line for that final report late july was when it was supposed to happen. It's august third so Yeah not so much twitter this week. Suspended audit related accounts as i said earlier including the arizona reviews official account and several other seeking similar reviews and other states. A twitter spokesperson said. The accounts were suspended for violating twitter rules on platform manipulation in spam..

"Edgar singing a song which goes something along the lines of seagulls in the sand. Can you hear my prayer and it. Oh my god it's funny. The best part of the movie. I think it's great. Yeah there's this has been mentioned so far but there are multiple musical number of in this film It's not a music all but it is music inclusive. Yeah 'cause there's a big that big number when they first got the hotel and then they find out at the motel songwriter. A number is exactly the right term for it is a number. It is a show stopper fifteen minutes in during wand ruse like mid western moulin. Rouge it's really is like so fun to see like just see what people do if they have enough money to do whatever they think is funny because then just very much feels like what this movie is. It's like wow. We could actually get a budget. Do what like the weirdest shit we can think of grape yup So edgar sings his song. Which is my favorite part of the movie. I listen to it on. Repeat this morning Meanwhile barb and star are pretending to have forgotten all about edgar from the night before but they secretly both want to see him again. so first. Barb sneaks out to go talk to him but then she realizes that her and anger aren't really meant to be and she values her friendship with star more than a man so she goes back to her and stars room but then star goes out to meet up with edgar has a very similar if not identical conversation to the one that barb and at girgis had but then he and star have sex which is a secret. that star keeps from barb. I do love that. Does that like barbas. Such a champion. She's like. I can't do this like i need to respect my friend and then stars like I only twice. Yeah i like. I feel like we skipped over. The they also talk to each other in the threesome. Because that was a brave yet is like they had sex together. The first night the reference effects it was. I thought that was kind of an interesting aspect of the day. Portrayed it as kind of a no big deal is so yeah. They move on immediately like left to. You would not know that they fucked each other and never comes up again right there. Just normalizing having threesomes with your friends. Meanwhile sharon's associate a spy by the name of darley buckle played by damon wayans junior contacks edgar to assist him. I love that i love. The scene wither on the phone. Seen is my favorite. I think is. I know i have to go. He's great and then back at sharon's layer. She explains her backstory to yoyo. Which is that. When she was young her family moved to vista del mar where she was bullied for her pale skin and then after an incident which like utterly humiliated her caused her father to suffer a heart attack and die and caused her mother to leave her. Anti-god launched onto a disney cruise ship out of a cannon Sharon vowed to seek revenge on all of the residents of vista del mar hence this big revenge plot as a child. She very much. It's like full on wednesday. Addams nick very. Yeah yeah i. I have some things to say about all of that. I was curious. We're to talk about that. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah we'll get there Meanwhile star sneaks off to spend more time with edgar and then while that's happening. Barb is doing a bunch of fun stuff that she and star were supposed to do together. They both feel really bad about lying to each other. And then barb finds out about stars love affair with edgar and edgar is about to like call off the whole mosquito plan because he's falling out of love with sharon and in love with star but anyone who's in kristen wig's body he right. I feel like we to to be fair. That feels like what a lot of us do like you know for me. It's not kirsten wig's body but it's like some unkempt man with a beard him out he's got a type you've got ta yup. But then. Sharon convinces edgar that barbara starr are spies. And the he needs to kill them. Meanwhile barbara starr confronted each other about lying but then edgar comes in and ties them up. And then sharon abducts them. Alligators are about to eat them. But they managed to escape with the help of their coup. Lots which if you're not familiar and you haven't seen the movie first of all go see the movie but there are these like very slowly capri type pants that are like very skirt and shorts. Mixed together base yeah. I didn't know that that's what those were called until this movie. Go by many names. Maybe yeah i think i'm going to buy some. I mean they can truly save your life as we see in this movie. One of my favorite bechtol test passes of this movie was kristen. Wig telling the other creston wig to jump off a cliff. It's it was a very feminist moment of the film. Incredible so then. They run off to stop the mosquito attack but ono. Sharon had already triggered the receiver to attract all the mosquitoes. So then they fight with sharon in the middle of the ocean the mosquitoes attack sharon and then barbara star are brought safely back to land by trish the water spirit lady who they had brought up on their flight who is played by reba mcentire and then sharon shows backup with like all these mosquito bites but then she learns the power of friendship and she becomes friends with all of the residents of vista del mar and then barbara star get their shimmer back and they ride a banana boat together and that's the end of the movie love it so let's take a quick break and then we will come back to discuss.

I used to like make fun of my mom's pants but it turns out that they were she was she was right. I was wrong. I was wearing like low rise jeans and had a death. Wish you know. So this is our podcast Where we take a look at your favorite movies using an intersectional feminist lens using the bechtel test as a jumping off point for discussion. But what is that. well sometimes. it's when a woman named barb and another woman named star Talk to each other about something other than a man for most of the movie. But i guess more. Generally our version of the test is when two people of any marginalized gender with names speak to each other about something other than a man and they have a meaningful conversation meaningful to the to the narrative. Yeah and yeah. We were recovering. Barb in star vista del mar today. I'm so excited to cover this movie. And we have incredible guest with us. Oh my gosh we. We sure do in here. That was that was my midwest attempts. I literally i did. We did check with my boyfriend's mom who is a bona fide. Barbara starr type. I was like is this. Do you feel like seen by this.

But i hadn't seen it until we started prepping for this episode. Yeah me neither actually. I was just like good. Yeah oh yeah. I was so excited for this movie to come because this was like another a movie that got pandemic where it was shot like two years ago and i remember seeing trailers for it like back when you could still be in movie theaters and being and because i think we're supposed to be like a summer movie last year and i was like. Oh my god that that looks so good. I haven't seen kristen wig. Do something like truly goofy and fun and so long. Yeah so we rented at the day came out. It was awesome. I love it Especially after christmas. Make i mean no we got a lot of requests for wonder woman nineteen eighty-four and then we both watched it and we're like i don't. I just felt nothing and i felt angry. I was like mad at how bad i thought movie was and i was like. Yeah i mean maybe we'll cover it eventually. But i'm like it is not a priority for me. 'cause that movie stunk rushing. I heard it was really bad. It wasn't great and it was also like i don't know it's always like extra frustrating when it's someone that you know like i know. Kristen wig plays like the big bad in that movie and it's just like she's boring in it and i'm like how did you make her boring like that's a that's a you problem. Patty jenkins sorry. I remember when she plays a weird character in mother exclamation point. Oh i got. I try not to think about mother exclamation point but that is true. And she's also i mean she went through. We've about this. Like i think on our crazy stupid love episode where it's like when like super successful comedian goes through a phase of movies that are all like very serious indies and some of them are good. Some of them are like that phase. She's also wasn't she in the martian. Which she i don't remember. Have i lost touch with reality. I don't know it. Doesn't i remember that movie very well i. I'm pretty sure and she's in her. She's in a lot of real slow birds. yeah anyways. this movie is a movie. I actually enjoy. Unlike all the ones we just listed right. Yeah yeah. I i mean you know me. I love a romp and this movie is like heck's book definition of a romp outta ten on caitlyn's rump. a meter almodovar announce robert or sorry. Yeah what a what. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect i was. I think i was picturing kind of like a girl's trip esque narrative in the sense that like two people go on vacation and they have a vacation. I was not expecting there to be like an evil mastermind villain. I wasn't expecting an evil revenge plot about killer. Mosquitoes like this was like it. Felt like it was one of those scripts where it was like written in a state of like a very open. Mind of like. What could we put in this movie. Like sky's the limit killer.

"Me to talk about barbara star. Is rachel sign a staff writer for the new yorker. Hey rachel her so thanks for joining me for this one. I really was excited to talk about this one with you because you wrote something about it a little view in appreciation of it for the new yorker that i really love and i felt really tapped into some of the things that are special about this movie. I'm going to read a tiny bit of it back to you. Maybe that can inspire conversation so this comes early in what you're writing about it when you talk about the transition from what i would think of as the setup the first twenty minutes or so where we beat barbara starr in their hometown of soft rot nebraska and how it then it then transitions to town of title of vista del. Mar in florida. And so you're right. There solid jokes from the get-go but it's not clear right away. What the movie is up to our. Wigan molo denizens of los angeles where they first met as part of the l. Sketch comedy troupe. The groundlings taking the piss out of flyover over forties then skipping ahead of bit is talking about the the that transition you say but as barbara starr unfolds. It's quirky heroines fuel. Less and less like stand ins for certain kind of tj maxx shopper. Instead the film goes for something far more specific and silly loving often lovely. Where so many comedies are either retreads old ideas or feel designed by committee to hit newsy talking points. Barbara starr is the rare film. That feels sue generous in both conceit an execution barbara starr or such finely drawn characters that they could be nobody else but themselves so that really spoke to me and exactly what i love about this movie and this was going to frame it to you. Is that this movie gets compared a lot to bridesmaids which of course was written by the the co writers and co stars of this movie and malone christian wig and another movie that sprung to mind was spy which is this wild sort of a spoof of james bond films. That's also a female friendship bonding movie with incredible performances by melissa mccarthy and rose byrne i love both bridesmaids an spy but i found this movie far more original than either one and in a way more exciting i mean i can see why bridesmaids changed comedy history. It's an important movie. it's still a very funny movie. But this sui generis quality that you point to i think is is so much more vibrant in this movie which really could only have come out of the imaginations of these two women who are friends in real

Bill is back to make Washington, DC 51st state — still faces high hurdle in Senate

"The license plates for D C. Residents read in big, bold letters and taxation without representation. It's a rallying cry against D. C is the lack of direct voting power in the U. S. Congress as NPR's Barbara Sprint reports. Statehood advocates are hopeful that what was once seen as a liberal pipe dream is now gaining traction. 30 years ago, delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton first introduced a bill for Washington D. C. Statehood. She's back at it, and this time, she says, it feels different. We've gotten off of the wish list, too. On approach of a new reality. Norton says she's encouraged by national polls that suggest growing support for statehood and the record number of co sponsors. The House legislation and its Senate counterpart, have Her bill, which strength the size of the federal district and admit the remaining area as the nation's 51st state. But Republicans stand universally opposed, arguing it would take a constitutional amendment to admit D. C as a state. Here's Georgia Congressman Jody Hice during today's House oversight hearing, the Democratic Party attempting a political power grab of obtaining more senators, that's entirely what this is all about. That phrase power grab is a constant and GOP messaging on statehood, referring to the fact that the district votes overwhelmingly for Democrats and would likely elect two Democratic senators. But Norton tells NPR that at its core statehood is not about politics while we're looking for is equality with other Americans, especially since we pay the highest federal taxes per capita in the United States, she notes that D C has a population of over 700,000 residents larger than Wyoming and Vermont. Last year when the House first past Norton's bill, Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, dismissed that point. Wyoming is a well rounded working class state. New state of Washington would not be. It was a barb that stung many residents in the district, including business owner Deana Dorsey Calloway. You can't see me, but I'm having an emotional reaction. The eyes are watering probably hear my voice quivering of it, because Just it's disgusting. It's you're a sure of an entire population of people here in Washington, advocates argue statehood is also a civil rights issue, as most of DC's residents are minorities. We do believe this is one of the most important racial justice fights of our time that stash a Rhodes, campaign manager of 51 for 51, a statehood campaign from our perspective, leaving 700,000 mostly black and brown residents without a vote in Congress is racism. D C. Residents pay federal taxes and serve in the military but have no voting Congress. This is an injustice and honestly a stain on American democracy. Norton's bill is all but guaranteed passage in the House. There's broad support from Democrats in the Senate and the White House. But there's a road block. The Senate has a big brick wall in front of its called the Filibusters that house bills are passing and slamming right into. That's Ellie's up Nick of Fix our Senate, a campaign focused on eliminating the legislative filibuster, which requires a 60 senator threshold to advance most bills. Not all Senate Democrats are on board with eliminating the maneuver, arguing it's meant to protect the minority party. But unless that brick wall is eliminated or changed, D C statehood goes back to being on the Democratic wish list.
