"I'm so happy you asked. I think as I look out of the field, we have about 6 or 7 states in which we're really incredibly excited about. I think one that I think about is in Minnesota. We have a lieutenant governor Peggy flanagan, who's running for reelection where governor waltz, who's a cofounder of our organization, but an incredible leader in the highest elected leader in the nation. She's running for reelection, which I think gives us a lot of hope there. But down ballot in Minnesota, Alicia Kozlowski is running for the Minnesota state House district 8 B and she's one of the first two spirit representatives to run in these seeds. She's running a very powerful campaign in a competitive district. And so we look forward to seeing her 16 victorious. She has endorsements from advance. She has endorsements from victory fund. She has a powerful campaign team. And so putting her in office, I think, will be a huge win for Indian country. I also think about in Utah, davina Smith, running for Utah state House district 69. So this is a district that after redistricting now includes San Juan county Utah, which has over a 50% native population. And many folks in Indian country know this particular district because for several decades, the district had such heavy voter suppression for the northern part of the Navajo Nation. Of that 50%, they were still electing two out of three commissioners as native as white commissioners. And using that power to suppress the vote. So this has been a decades long fight in San Juan county Utah for to be able to have that representation on the commissions and now they might have it in the state House. And so I think that's really incredible that we might see a denate person in the Utah state House. I also think about North Dakota. So representative Ruth buffalo, many folks know she's a national profile. Is running a really competitive race at the moment. She's running an uphill battle. Her district leans 5 points Republican. And during redistricting, she lost two of her critical support precincts. But she works every single day and for folks who are following her on social media, they see that she knocks doors every single day. She's out there in the community and she's really a model for what native candidates should be and what the power building approach looks like. I'll name one other or one other set of races. Is that also in North Dakota just above OJ? They're in district four in a district 9 of the state House. These are districts that are under federal lawsuit for violation of section two of the Voting Rights Act. And that's because they have split these districts between four a and four B traditionally North Dakota districts have two representatives in them. They've split the district, so it's one candidate running in each and they did this to basically push all of the native voters into district four a and district 9 a and then open up seats for 9 B and four B and so this is both kind of a long-term battle for the Voting Rights Act and kind of what that looks like in the protecting and preserving section two. But it's also a moment in which native tribes are actually directly under attack by the state under redistricting. And so I will be watching those races very quickly. That's a list of Lisa Finley DeVille and Jamie Davis running in those seats. I'll be watching those really quickly, really closely because winning in those seats means a massive victory for Indian country, but also starts a larger conversation about protecting our voting rights long term. Jordan, you touched on the southwest earlier. And let's remind our listeners that the Navajo Nation with its huge, huge population, was a big player in the 2020 election. And what does it look like this year in Arizona? Will the Navajo Nation vote be a major factor in how things go? There has been a really sustained amount of power building in Arizona since 2020. I think prior, we didn't have quite the political infrastructure that we did in other states. And so that has really changed. In 2020, we saw a 130% in the three counties that overlap the Navajo Nation in the north. Coconino, Navajo and Apache county. We saw a 130% of their 2016 turnout, which is a high water mark. And I think that although it probably won't be as high in a non presidential year. What we know on the ground is that there is a massive investment in the ongoing and all of those organizers that were there in 2020 are still there in 2022 building that political infrastructure launching new C threes and C four organizations to kind of sustain that power building long term. So I am very hopeful. Despite there being kind of a deluge of legislation that has come down in the Arizona state House to try to kind of attack that. Jordan, what about Hawaii? Are you watching the elections there? Because I know there's at least one native Hawaiian running for Congress. We are lately, I think it's exciting because this is the first moment in which we have Alaska native native Hawaiian and Native American as kind of like the broad three indigenous groups in Americas. Representing Congress. And so I think kind of keeping that up is going to be really critical of this year as well. OJ, I'd like to get your take on the Navajo vote as well. How large a factor do you think the Navajo Nation vote will be there in the Arizona midterms? I think it's going to be key to any person that is going to actually win that office. One thing these races are so close in all the states where Indian countries has a presence, these votes could an election could be won by a few hundred votes. And so it's really key for people to participate. I know Jordan just talked about north quota, but we just got done working with the shoshone duck valley reservation in filing aid voting rights lawsuit under state court from violating their rights in Nevada. It's a tribe request a satellite office on the reservation. They're supposed to give it. And what they did is they only gave the tribal members there four hours and their election or four hour two days followers each. So on Friday, their elections over and so lawsuit was filed to increase it because the outlook county in that county is the richest county per cap and if you live in alcove, you get a 120 hours in election day voting. So, you know, there is things out there to stop. And I can tell you the Nevada race is probably going to end up by whoever wins by a hundreds of votes, not thousands. And you're going to see that all through the United States where Indian countries involved of these very close races being decided by Native Americans. And I also pointed out 99.9% of the time when a polar calls, it's not a person that has an indie name like gray bull, you know, in so natives are never even included in Poland. And that's where I can really make a difference in any election, especially midterm of deciding which candidate is going to go to office. Okay. Well, we've got a caller on the line right now. Lynette listening and Anchorage Alaska on K NBA Lynette, thanks for calling in today. Good morning, Sean. Thank you for taking my call. And I'm calling for men to Alaska. In the past, I ran for the U.S. Congress seat against the late congressman Don young, but I didn't make the primary. And I am so proud of Mary petrola, or winning the seat, even though it's temporary, I'm really hoping that she could win in our general election so that she could represent Alaska native people, although I don't agree with her on a couple of things, but that's besides the point. And I would like to just say that she is very brave and very strong. And my hat

"I don't need to make a lot of birdies. I just want to have birdie putts. You know, he says, it's not about scoring. It's not about, you know, circling the three when you make it on a par four, but his kind of measure of fun is how many birdie putts did I have? Because that's what he wants. He wants the opportunity. And I think that's something so many of your golf course give players is an opportunity. Now, might not make the birdie. You might not make the eagle, but you have an opportunity in front of you to do so. And before I let you go, I did want to ask, who is an underground, a name we haven't heard yet in terms of golf design that you feel like will be a household name and say 5 or ten years. Who's that next name in this world that you feel like is going to kind of blow up and join that group that you're in, where I feel like kind of the latest member has been Gil. You know, gils kind of blown up and now become really a household name and in terms of architecture. Who's that next name in your opinion? You know, it's probably someone that's working for one of those guys. You know, it's probably somebody that being mentored by one of those guys. You know, in my team, I've got a guy Nick Sean, who's been with me almost since he left college. A grad of Washington state. He worked on chambers babe when he was immediately out of college. You worked for John harbold for a little while. And Nick's been with me for Christian 20 years. A lot of the projects that we've done, I get a lot of credit for and he's completely unknown and yet he's been deeply deeply involved in all of them. You know, gray bull he was with me the last three days. He's out there in the field with the guys. He's dealing with all the minutia, you know, Nick is to me what Jim Wagner is for gill Hans. Right. And Nick is a dozen years younger than me.

"At the layout of gray bowl and you think about it in your mind, what is a golf course that you feel like maybe it resembles or it'll play like or you hope that it plays like. Wow, that's an easy one. You know, the benchmark is sandhills. Right. Bill Kerr and bank range show built sandhills before I built banded in sandhills. Everybody wants to give credit to bandon dunes being ground zero for minimalism. Right. Where goals return to this simple lay of the land thing, but a truth be told and I'm sure you're well aware, sandhills predated banded by 5 years or so. And Mike keiser was an initial investor founder member in sandhills. So absolutely, that is our benchmark. If we could, if we can build gray bull and have someone speak in the same sentence that gray bull and sandhills share some DNA, I think we would all be really, really thrilled that would be wonderful to hear. And that's I'd make no secret of the fact that I played sandhills many, many times. I absolutely love it. I look to sandhills as the parent. Get so right. What did it not do and what should we take lessons from? What do we do that tries to emulate, not coffee, but emulate the success of sandhills. And there are plenty of others that have now been built in the sandhills that, you know, for right or wrong, didn't achieve the same success as sandhills. So it's out there. You know, there's a chance to build something really cool and take all those lessons and apply them. When you, when you think about that, when you start to kind of get underway in terms of thinking about a golf course, like a great pool, and you think about sandhills and you think about Bill and Ben, is that something where you'll reach out to them. I mean, is that how the relationships work across the board in terms of the a list architects? Like, can you call Gil? Can you call Bill? Can you call Ben? Can you call Tom?

"And if that's not the case, you might be driving four hours, but I want to talk about Nebraska. I want to talk about the new project there. You've been partnering up with the dormie network, which is kind of getting involved for the first time in its own golf course, its own golf experience. I was reading a little bit about gray bull, which is the new golf course you're working on. You did an interview about the sandhills and you said it was the best inland ground for golf in the world. So I want to start there, explain why, in your opinion, Nebraska, sandhills, you know, if you ask novices out there, they'd probably lean on Scotland or even Australia as places you would expect to have the best ground for golf and you're saying it's the sandhills and Nebraska. So why is that? Well, the first off, sand is the magic elixir for golf. I mean, wherever there is sand, you have an awfully good chance of building good golf because it drains well at firm. You can play all year round. Well, maybe not Nebraska, but a lot of places if the weather allows. So sand is your first most important ingredients for great gulf. You're on an uphill battle. So obviously the sandhills of Nebraska it's pretty self explanatory at 200 plus mile by 200 plus miles of wind blowing sand that came in from the Rocky Mountains. Eons ago. And it's been laid out over this giant patch of Middle America. And it's 300 or so feet deep. I believe. So it drains perfectly. And it's in this rumpled landscape. It's completely random. It's not like sand Jens on an ocean where the prevailing wind has set up ridges where you have one line of guns after another. If you think of all the courses that you might play in Scotland or Ireland are students, the dunes are generally enlightened in the gulf is generally behind those gyms. In the sandhills, it's just this rumpled mass of a irregular shapes and from a gulf point of view, it's just, I mean, it's just absolutely Christmas for a golf course designer. You're trying to figure out every single direction you look in. There's a par three, a par four and a par 5 and every direction. At all times. And there's humps and hollows and ridges and every single piece of terrain, a golf course architect would dream up on a boring site is already there in every direction you look at. The scale is just right. The mountains in the sandhills are some of them are ten feet high, some of them are 50 feet high, but there's very little that 80 feet high. Nothing is two feet high. The dunes are 40 yards to 80 yards apart. So they're screaming fairways. There's all sorts of semi blamed ridges to go over. There's blowouts in the sand, where the castle has gone in and found a spot to shelter. And so you've got these natural wind blowouts. And then the whole entire place is covered in sparse Prairie grass. If you take a golf ball right now without having done anything and you threw it as hard as you could in front of yourself, if you found the lighting it went on, you'll find the ball.

"It's really important. And that has a national effect. Appellate decisions have a lot more effect than trial court decisions. If you're trying to influence a trial court across the country, they might not care that much about another trial judge, you know, somewhere else, but they will care much more about appellate court. And so that has a tangible effect. I mean, there are other lawsuits brought other states. We bring them other lawyers bring them. They can cite Williams V B Miller and that can help survive a motion to dismiss where the companies are arguing that they have immunity under plaque. And then the fact that we were able to reach a settlement, that's a message that trial lawyers know about that through lawyers, other victims can know about. And the gun industry knows about it. Even if we can't say details about the settlement, they know what the seller was about. They can tell at least between the lines, give other companies some sense of what happened. And that message is delivered. Another message that was delivered from this case is the fact that, you know, we all gutted it out over so many years. You know, I mean, the fact that we taught the gun industry a lesson that, you know, we're not going away. You can't win the waiting game with us. I mean, this is 15 years. And I will tell you, you know, there are other lawyers other than Jim gray bull and Connors firm that would have said, we want to get out of this case. We're paying expenses, we're paying time, you know, we want to bail. There are other clients who would have said, I want to take what they're offering and go on with my life. And that didn't happen. And that is a really important message because the gun industry and their lawyers know they can't bluff. They can't delay..

"And if you happen to not know what we're talking about here are few quick details gabrielle. Petito a twenty two year old white woman and her fiance. Brian laundry left new york back in july for what was supposed to be a four month. Long cross country trip now. Some things went down apparently during their trip. Because gabrielle's fiance returned to his florida home so low on september firs gabrielle was reported as missing by her family ten days later ultimately the fbi found gabrielle's remains in wyoming's bridger teton national forest earlier. This week a search for the fiancee. Who has now disappeared is still in progress. Yeah and there's been a lot of press focused on this story and the internet itself has pitched in with some social media sleuthing here too and while the situation is terribly tragic a number of advocates have pointed out that many other people particularly people of color who's missing persons cases. Don't get a focus on primetime cable news or what felt like wall to wall coverage from the new york times. Exactly here's lynette. Gray bull director of the nonprofit not our native daughters in an interview with. Msnbc's jillian reed putting a spotlight on indigenous missing persons. You know if you don't have blonde hair and blue eyes are story. Do not make it to the six o'clock news. We barely get a story into the paper. You know however. I just think everybody come into the table addressing the issue being accountable and making sure that when somebody goes nephew murdered in our community that it's equally prevent it and have a sense of urgency. So get in the late legendary journalist gwynne eiffel actually coined this term about twenty years ago missing white woman syndrome to describe the ways our culture and media specifically gets when the victim is a white woman but doesn't necessarily keep that same energy for folks from other communities. The fact of the matter is that we seem to care less when the person who goes missing is of color even though we as folks of color go missing at higher rates. Yeah into that point. Let's actually talk about some of what we know here right. So let's start with the missing indigenous folks. Because the rates are tragic specifically in wyoming where gabrielle's body was found seven hundred and ten indigenous. People went missing between two thousand. Eleven and two thousand twenty over. Half of them were women. This is according to a study done by the university of wyoming which found that while half of those missing persons were found within a week. Almost a quarter of them went missing for a month or longer comparatively only eleven percent of white people remain missing for that long the study which we can link to in our show notes also found that only eighteen percent of the indigenous women who were reported missing received media coverage. Wow yeah and so that's just wyoming. What about the us overall and do we have a sense of why this is the case so the us department of the interior said earlier this year that there were roughly fifteen hundred american indian and alaska native missing persons in the national crime information center database. This number though does not include instances that were not documented by authorities and considering study after study notes the ways folks of color are more often deemed the cause for or perpetrators of violence and crime or those studies that note the way certain authoritative figures are less likely to believe folks of color advocates say many more indigenous families are dealing with missing persons than the stats. Let on as for why. That's unfortunately hard to say. A two thousand eighteen a. P. story we can link to says that there hasn't been a government database tracking these cases. So it's hard to find a common thread but the article quotes one university of kansas professor. Who suggests that some of these people might have been the victims of sexual violence. This is so much of an issue though that the interior secretary deb holland announced in april the creation of a new missing and murdered unit within the bureau of indian affairs office to help put the quote full weight of the federal government into investigating these cases and hopefully that has positive results there. And there's also been over the last few years a lot of discourse about the rates of missing black people as well especially women girls. Yeah advocates lagged. Erica wilson co founder of the organization. Black and missing have called for the media law enforcement agencies and everyday people to be as concerned about missing black folks as they are with gabrielle. Petito and to such people whose families are searching for their loved ones right now are gilani day a twenty five year old illinois state university graduate student who went missing last month and daniel robinson a twenty four year old arizona. Geologists who went missing back in june in the show notes. We're gonna link to an npr story about both of them as well as black and mrs website which has resources for folks in search of their family. Members are gideon shifting gears to the pandemic yesterday president biden led a virtual summit on it in the midst of the ongoing meeting of the un general assembly and. He made this pledge. United states is buying another half billion doses of pfizer to donate to low and middle-income countries around the world. This is another half billion doses. That will all be shipped by this time next year and brings our total commitment to donate of donated vaccines to over one point one billion vaccines to be donated. We previewed that such an announcement could be on the way but gideon whitmore came out of this address. This so part of the plan to vaccinate seventy percent of the global population by next september although we should note here that this purchases just a tiny fraction of what. It's gonna take to actually do that but the point. That biden was really trying to drive home at the summit was that it was going to take a collective global effort to end the global pandemic. He also announced a new partnership with the eu on upping global vaccinations with the eu committing to donating around five hundred million doses itself to income countries. Plus there's some news about helping other countries make their own vaccines. Yeah this is always been a big part of the discussion so they're also funding commitments from the us for manufacturing facilities and then the eventual administration of shots specifically a partnership with india japan and australia. That biden said quote is on track to produce at least one billion vaccine doses in india to boost the global supply by the end of twenty twenty two now keeps saying twenty two week keep saying tweets because he is saying it and one of the questions that has really come up is what can be done now. Not actually in two thousand two. And that's one caveat of this new biden plan for those pfizer doses which was pretty frustrating to some activists so only three hundred million of the one point one billion promise doses overall are set to be shipped out this year so there are a lot more problems to solve in the immediate future. Time really is a factor here so according to the ap the world health organization said that only fifteen percent of promise donations vaccines from wealthier. Countries have actually been delivered thus far. That's disappointing One part of the vast disparities in vaccine access and vaccinations. Globally is the role of wealthier countries. But another is pharmaceutical companies. Who make them. So what's the update there. The white house reiterated support for waving intellectual property protections for cove in nineteen vaccines yesterday and basically underpinning of that argument in theory is give even more countries the opportunity to make vaccines instead of relying on just a few who can buy them. And there's this really interesting near time story that we can link to the dives and more on the pressure. That companies like madonna pfizer are facing so a group of drugmakers and vaccine manufacturers is reportedly getting ready to ask the by the administration to really pressure these companies a lot more aggressively for things like licenses to intellectual property and technology that's used in manufacturing vaccines so advisor only agreed to sell the doses at the us would donate overseas but not to actually license. The technology and then with madonna apparently both the administration and the world health organization have had trouble in talks with madonna and so one of the responses that we hear from executives of these companies. Is that the technology and the know how of it is so complex that it actually wouldn't be expedient to try to set it up in other parts of the world but again it is very much worth mentioning that there are enormous financial incentives for these companies here not just for the cove in nineteen vaccines but for other marna vaccines they have in development and finally there was some news about booster shots for people in the us yesterday. What are they telling us. Okay to other very quick things before we move on here. The fda did in fact authorize a pfizer biotech booster vaccine for people sixty five and older and those who are at risk of severe disease including because of where they might work advisors to the cdc are going to continue to meet today to basically decide on who is going to get this and win and then one other thing that you may or may not have seen a johnson. Johnson announced earlier this week that he's second dose of its vaccine that is given two months after the first was ninety four percent effective against infection. Any infection at all in trials tomorrow. We're.

"Hey you let me go. The merman said as he struggled against the net. Now you're gonna give me awesome stuff and wisdom and junk. The fishermen said as he dragged the merman the half man half seal measuring about three foot four onto the shore. All you want wisdom. The merman sneered he give the fishermen. Some wisdom don't kidnap mythological creatures. That almost free. He started nine at the ropes. But the fishermen kicked him until he stopped. Hey hon the fishermen heard from behind him. He turned to see his beautiful wife walking back from town. That fishermen tied off the net so the merman couldn't shimmy out of it and then turned to his wife. It was nice to see her but why was she in town. She answered his question with kind of a lot of kissing like they were husband and wife but it was still kind of a lot for an audience. The man's dog rushed up to him. While things were getting a little hot and heavy interrupting the proceedings. The man turned with the grumble kicking the dog. Hard inside the dog whimpered and limped off. The wife took the opportunity of her husband. Full-on kicking a puppy to break away. The husband said he wanted to get back to what they were doing. She smiled and with a wink. Said maybe later she would see him at home. He kicked it off again for good measure and the merman laughed. The man said oh. That was funny to him. Puppies getting kicked. That's messed up the merman. Stop laughing more. Messed up than being the one kicking dog no. He wasn't laughing at that he was laughing. Frankly at the fisherman's foolishness. Yeah well no one asked you. They fishermen said hefting the merman into the net on his back and starting the wall comb. The merman. didn't point out that the fishermen literally just asked him what he was laughing at on his way. Home the fisherman stumbled on the tussock field. He was so angry but the merman been difficult things gain interrupted with his wife and the dog that wouldn't leave malone that he just stood screaming curses at the tuft of grass. That always tripped him. The merman again laughed the farmer demanded to know why he was laughing. The merman replied that they were walking through a field. There were nearly infinite paths through the field that didn't involve tuck but he chose the one path that would trip him up. A sharp need to the bag stopped the murmansk laughter three days later the merman watched the fishermen he was picking out shoes so glad he had been captured and taken away from his home for this. The fishermen explained to the merman like the merman cared at all that he always had a difficult time finding reliable shoes. He was never able to pick out boots with soles thick as he wanted. The merman nodded from the basin of water. He had been plopped into. He always said it was clever. Men that made the biggest fools but the fishermen was forcing him to rethink that statement. The fishermen shot him at dirty glance and raised his hand as warning and the merman stopped talking and not just in that instance. The merman went complete radio silence refusing to even speak to the fishermen unless he was taken out to the sea balanced on the blade of an ore. Of course the fishermen put a leash on him so he didn't jump there he would answer all the fisherman's questions far from wanting to know the answer to life the universe and everything. The fisherman's questions were about fish. What year a fisherman should use if they wanted good catch the merman spouted off. Maybe a lot of nonsense. He said that dented. Iron should be forged or one could hear both the river anisi and that the hooks should be tempered with foam of tired horses. The fishing line should be made with a grey bull's. Sing us and the court from raw whore side for bait definitely used birds gizzards. Or depending on where you're fishing us human flesh if he didn't catch anything with that he was an elf. The fishermen groaned all right. You know what they were done here. The merman won the creature said he had told the truth all he needed to be a successful. Fisherman was his own forge multiple horses a bull birds. In a corpse the fishermen started on looping unleash. Yeah all those were so easy to get omar question actually. Why did the merman laugh when his wife kissed him. He kicked the dog. He tripped over the tessick and teapot boots. The merman was now free balanced on the or out of his own volition. Oh absolutely well for one. The fisherman's wife was cheating on him with a guy from town and she wished her husband dead. She he kissed. The dog loved the man more than life itself and would die for him he. The fishermen kicked the tussock the tuft of grass. The fishermen cursed covers a treasure. That's destined for the fishermen defined enough money for him to never have to worry about fishing again and the boots were he was so concerned about the souls. Those were going to last him for the rest of his life. The merman knowing all that new. The fisherman's reaction would be confused and suspicious disbelief. He would shout curses at the mermaid and try to grab it him punishing him but he would still grab a shovel and head out to the field. Some days later knowing this the merman didn't wait to see the fisherman's reaction he dove into the water and took off for home. The merman wasn't wrong. The fishermen did shout curses and scan the water for the creature but the merman had already fled into depths vowing to himself to be more careful about where he swam near shore a few days later when his wife was out again. For some reason the fishman couldn't put the thought from his mind and grabbed a shovel and headed out to the tussock in the field. It wasn't even buried deep the box of gold. He guessed it was some old viking treasure that someone had hid during one of the many many many many blood feuds and then everyone who knew about it died. The fishermen was rich as the gold fell through his fingers. His smile faded. If the merman was right about this out the fishman yelled to his wife pointing to the door. She was home when he returned to the house. He said he knew about the man in town and he wouldn't share his wealth with someone who would do that to him leave now. The wife said she didn't know what the husband thought he knew but she paused. He wouldn't even listen. He just pointed to the door. She snared fine but he would regret this and he did. She returned almost immediately. But that man from town when that man attacked the fishermen called on his trustee dog to help him to.
