"To use a wesleyan. I just did not buy it when I was watching it. I was like, really, really dude. You made I heart huckabees. Really, the fighter. This is what you think. This is what you think is a good yarn, bullshit. So it's not on my list. I'm much more inclined to be interested in movies like my number 7, hard times from 1975, which is a Walter hill movie about bare knuckle boxer, played by Charles Bronson, which is just a good fight movie. It's just a really good fight sequences about a guy in the 1920s trying to make money and stay alive by beating the shit out of people. And then the setup, my number 6 movie from 1949, which is a Robert wise movie 72 minutes long. If you're looking to knock out a quick one, similarly about a guy who's a Robert rental is an over the hill boxer who's in his late 30s. Who is really trying to fight the corruption of the sport. Corruption in boxing like continues. This movie was made in 1949 every single thing that happens to the boxers in the film. Of their health, guys dying or having brain damage from fighting, guys being screwed out of money is literally happening right now, 75 years later. So it happens in every movie. I mean, this is my note. Is this really how we're running things? This is all made up. It's all performance. It's all people, I mean, it all seems not like fixed in the sense of, you know, we have decided who's going to win or not. But the stakes are arbitrary and made up and everyone's just in it together trying to make some money. So I don't know. You're right, but also that just seems like the nature of the sport. It is, it is, it feels like it is corrupt by nature. I mean, it's a sport about people beating the shit out of each other. I know, right? So it's what's meta is also actual in a way. Number 5 is the saddest movie on the list. It's called fat cities from 1972 if you haven't seen this movie seek it out. I can't believe this movie is 50 years old. It's based on a novel by Leonard Gardner and directed by the great John Huston and it's John Huston in his 50s, late 50s.

But also you know don't want to gloss over the fact that loki done some really horrendous things and you can't just undo those things in a single episode hell i don't by the way they they've Quote unquote progressed. His character throughout the films. You know i. I thought their time huston. Huston was the standout star in thor one. And that saying something.

"Life should look like and what family should look like and what love felt like and helped to build some principal. Sometimes in me. That i think are heard of the reason why i will be so adamant than times about no. This is the way things should be the during that really rough time and a family friend of ours told me you know i know right now. You don't get to make your own choices but trust me in a few years you will be able to make all of your own choices in. You'll be able to build the life that you want in your way. So just hold on. And i didn't really you know like eleven or twelve. I didn't really appreciate. what kind. event empowerment guest. She was giving me. But i have thought about that. Moment saw many times over the years and that kind of empowerment that we all have this ability to build the life that we want if we're willing to put in the work in for willing to make the sacrifices in if we're really really willing to do the hard staff That has just been the lightning rod for me. And i you know i've made decisions to change jobs or you know move or You know my parenting decisions that sometimes you know didn't make a lot of sense that you know in my gut. I knew it was right. And i always known. I didn't really want to necessarily make decisions like everyone else loves. Because i don't want everyone else's life not my out. That is so powerful. In what i hear and what i've seen sometimes is that an i do it all and sometimes i take my my choices for granted and filled.

"And i think it's powerful in the fact that in this is where it helped me to understand. Why such a proponent for it during that season whenever are having a child out of wedlock in the south you know and i was actually bobble city at the time too so it was like all this shame on me at the time and i was eating out exercising. I was doing everything i did not. I called my son an alien in my stomach. Until i saw him so i did not have any attachment until afterwards so there was a lot of things like this brain could not handle but what i learned is how mental game jack. Everything up in about killed me about killed my son in the process of he came thirty five weeks or weeks early. At thirty five weeks. I would vote. Were in the hospital for over a week. Because of that. And i truly do believe that it's a part of the mental game that the self sabotaging it was not really did not want her to be real but how much it matters to work upstairs work up in the in the brain so tell me did. Did that help you like whenever you started to do your value driven choices. Help you on the the brain game absolutely For me. I really break things down to be as black and white as i can be. I believe so strongly that when we quaver about our choices when we're really just aren't sure what to do. It's not really because we aren't sure what to do. It's because we're not sure if we want to pay the price you know nearly always when you have a decision to make your gut knows what you should do but you know the scary part of if you make the choice you know. Then what That's part. I think where we tend to get hung up and i know for me. That's where i've always you know run into the uncertainties. So when i break things down about really. What are the choices. It's either this or this. And in some cases like when son was a teenager in life was hard and it was challenging and there were times that i thought well you know i could just kinda give up. He's really hard right now. i could. I know he's out with friends. I don't like the friends. He shouldn't be if i could just stay at home and wait until he decides to show up which you know who knows what that might look like or i can go get in the car and drive around looking for him so those are the kinds of things that i i really think. If you come back to you know really really what the alternatives like. And if you're gonna lead with your guts and ask yourself. Does this decision. Bring me closer to the person. I want to be or not. It makes things super clear. And you know i think on one at the one of the powerful things about choices was a conversation i had as a kid with a family friend and My childhood was rough. I mean it started out. I i will say it started out great. I had the first decade of life that was full of a lot of certainty and love and security and when things changed it just felt like it changed overnight and the rug was really pulled out and you know the next nine or ten years were full of a lot of unpredictability and uncertainty and those early foundation years of being loved so well dave me a great place of measurements to wet..

"You're owning everything about them. People are still going to have their about them and it taught me a lot about you know own your own decision that you have made and you know square your shoulders back. Put your chin up you know you. Oh no one anything and you know knowing at that time too. I really had two choices. Within that right. I either slide into being that person that a lot of people were concerned i might become or maybe even they kind of hoped i would become that or i could do everything in my power to prove every single one of them. Wrong van i. I tend to fall on the b. side of that coin. You know i'd. I wore a chip on my shoulder for a really long time to prove everyone wrong. So it s powerful too because there comes a point. And i did that for the longest. And i'll i'll say at times the other day. My husband told me i couldn't do or no. He didn't say do something. But he said that it was something that are like it was doing a leaf blower in but it was like a mainly leaf blower. He let me know how mainly it was that it wasn't for little girls like me. I am this. i'm very short. I'm four levin. I'm t tiny And so he's like it's even hard for me did ended up. Well my little little woman syndrome out. Like you can't tell may add. Did all this stuff.

"With. Yeah i mean. I think you know the first time that it was at least you know the pivotal what i would consider a really life. Changing moment was deciding that i was going to become a mom and i was barely eighteen. my life was not at all together. I didn't have a a super support system on everything about it. Didn't seem the makes sense. And yet i decided i'm going to do it that i decided. And it's so funny when you make certain choices in your life how you can go back to that one moment and you can almost see what you were wearing. I remember exactly where. I was sitting when i decided i'm keeping and i'm going to raise my son and i'm gonna do everything i can to make sure that he grows up feeling loved and knowing that he was meant to be. So you know that was the first one indefinitely definitely the one that changed the course of my life and you know what is interesting about is that everyone has an opinion on them. Saw you know. I think you and i both can appreciate them of that but You know making the choice to be a mom that people who had opinions about should i or shouldn't die and you know then the questions the inappropriate questions about how i was going to do it and The questions that came later on. You know as i was as i was preparing for this it took me back to some places of remembering. You know how people would ask how i was going to afford to raise my child where we were gonna be as. I made choices to work. Then the questions like you're gonna apply. For which sean. You brought that suit jacket for that job and you know you're not on welfare anymore. That's great but now you're working too much you know. Now you know you're leaving your child at daycare So it's just been this really interesting learning path of really knowing you can make these choices and they are yours..

"Has come out in a significant way. It's so true. I i had an experience where i was giving a. It was a male professor. I was giving him feedback and and i He wasn't someone who worked for me but he was someone who had specifically asked me to give him feedback on his teaching. And i'm i decided to ask this somewhat risky question dave and that was i had noticed that he seemed very shy and i was wondering if he thought that was an obstacle in his work as a professor and so did the did the risky thing and i raised it and i asked him. You know i. i've noticed. That seem a little shy is is that. Is that ever a problem for you in your teaching and he started to cry because he was worried that this was a problem in his teaching and the fact that he could finally talk about it with someone because he wasn't sure how students perceived him but he couldn't get over his shyness and it was quite a moment because we were then able to have a much deeper conversation about how he could let students know like. I'm shy and it doesn't mean that. I don't wanna talk to you. It's just that's who i am and in it. It was very empowering because he was a tenured professor he he'd been teaching for years but no one had had the courage to have that conversation with him so led to a great release but it also allowed us to be more productive about generating strategies for an issue that he thought was unmentionable. Mr rogers the great late. Mr rogers had has a wonderful quote about anything. That's human is mentionable and anything th that's mentionable becomes more manageable and i love that if we can mention it than it makes it okay for the other person to talk about it. You know. it doesn't mean we have to go and get degrees in therapy right. We can just allow that moment to be there. And i'm i'm it's okay it. It's it's okay that you're having those strong feelings strong emotions and then take a breath and let the person work through it and then you can continue and that person will feel chances are much closer to you and a more grateful for us a manager that you will allow them to be human. I want to mention another population as well. Two of those employees who are black indigenous people of color were. We haven't talked much about that in this conversation and the reason for that is there's just not as much research unfortunately on that employ population. I'm hopefully that will be different as time goes forward here but there is some research and one of the things that you mention is that Evidently when we're giving feedback to someone according to Evidently when we are giving feedback to someone who's in the majority in our workplace we praise their skill and competency. But we're we're when we giving feedback to someone whose face stands out. We spout vague pronouncements. About how nice. They are to be around. Tell me about that. how does that show up. It's so disturbing when you hear it right so there as you noted there's not as much research there's a lot more research on gender bias and feedback but now there are a couple of studies that have shown the pattern that you just described and that is when we're giving feedback to people who were in the majority in some studies. That's just been white employees. Some studies for instance in medicine. That's white employees as well as asian americans when we're giving feedback to people who are in the majority. We tend to focus on their competency. And there's a great study. Out of uc san francisco where they found that white and asian american Medical students when they were working in clinics they tended to get comments in their evaluations. About how knowledgeable. How thorough and sophisticated. They were great things to have when you're then applying for your next job however the groups that were in the minority and in this case those were the black medical students and the latino x. medical students as well as just a handful of native american medical students. What they found is that in there Performance reviews in the clinics. The the words that stood out that we're used distinctively for those groups to sprays for this day. There were words like nice pleasant open. And i'm not saying that it's bad to be called pleasant and open i. I would enjoy that. I hope people say about me. But if you're trying to decide which person to hire for your hospital do you want the person who's knowledgeable and sophisticated or the person who's pleasant and open. It's it's no brainer right. Obviously were much more interested in the person who's developing and showing all that competency and so we have to be really careful and pay attention to the adjectives. The praise that we use we probably think. Oh my biased. Won't show up in my praise but it does and this is something we really need to look for. There's so much more here. We could dive for our stories. I so appreciate your work. I'm glad that you are challenging us to think about giving feedback and framing feedback and challenging us to think about bias inclusion here and how we do it so the book is called. Let's talk make effective feedback your superpower by the way we've only we've only covered about ten or fifteen pages. There's so much more in the book and all areas of feedback. So i hope that you'll check it out and dive in an outpost. Of course my notes. As i always do from interview for those. Who'd like to dive and more on a few of the quotes and the research that therese's mentioned therese before i let you go. You know you've really been doing such a deep dive on this over the last year or two as you've been researching the book and writing as you have done that and taken on this project. What have you changed your mind on. It actually comes back to something. We discussed at the very beginning about unconscious bias. And the the one thing. I've definitely changed mine on his how easy it is for bias to show up in our communications i i had an experience. I was giving a talk at a major tech company. A couple of years ago already worked on this book and looking at at at gender bias and feedback and that was the talk i was giving was giving a talk about gender bias and feedback and easily ninety percent of the people in the room. Were under the age of forty five. Because it's was a company and you have so many people in their thirties and early forties and tech companies. And i put up a slide at one point that had a a white male manager giving feedback or talking to you could tell he had the The power rule to someone who is a young asian american female. And that's just a picture in the end. The thing that i said about this slide dave is. I said something like so typical supervisor. Employees dynamic where you have the white male and if you're going to a an under represented female You're likely to have a white male manager. And that. I made a joke and i said but your manager probably wouldn't be that old.

"Yes. So he's he's got the they did some research. He did some research with david. Max field and he was looking at this question of how to reduce perceptions of aggressiveness for women and he found some language. That really works So i'll give you the language that they used and it's tricky with this because you'll hear the language and you might think. Do i have to use exactly those words but you can use. The general gist the phrase that they found reduced perceptions of aggressiveness for women by nearly thirty percent was this. I know it's a risk to speak this assertively. But i'm going to express my opinion very directly so you could potentially coach vicki on. This might be some language when you're about to make a really strong statement. You can preface it with that statement and then people won't take what you're about to say next as so aggressive. I think one of the things that happens is there's a stereotype that women are more emotional so if a woman is making a really strong comment she's lost control but first round you know she's like whoa whoa vicky back off so if you're pressing it with one of these two statements i see this is a matter of honesty and integrity or i know it's a risk to speak this assertively. You're showing like perfectly clear headed in this moment. I'm intentionally going to say something strong. So you've signaled to people. I haven't lost control. This is just that important to me. So i think that's part of what's happening. There is that you're letting people know. I'm on this team. I care about these issues just as much as everyone else and so you then are letting people know this is. This is a good comment and very reasonable one. I want to ask you about something in in this part of the that is an uncomfortable situation for a lot of folks when they run into it as managers and of course his employees is tears when they show up in the workplace and to some really interesting things you've found in in the research is far as how to approach this first of all. What do we know how this breaks down by gender. As far as when tier show up in conversations at work there is data on this trying to remember. But i. I don't think i can remember the numbers off the top of my head Women are much more likely to admit crying at work than men are on. But i can't remember the exact statistics but for men it was less than twenty percent of men will admit they've cried at work now whether or not it's actually under twenty percent or it's higher. It's hard to know because there is also a stigma to crying at work especially for men and so men might be less likely to admit it but it is a much more common for women to at least admit crying at work then than men. This is a place that. I think a lot of men in particular when the shows up and i think for most people. It does some point where they're having a conversation with a female employee and tear show up and not knowing what to do and you have a few suggestions for when that kind of emotion comes in of what to do next. So i all keep in mind if someone cries. It doesn't mean they're falling apart. I've interviewed some women in particular cry very easily. Get get get to an issue that they care very much about in their eyes are likely to to well up so first of all. Don't don't think whether it's a man or a woman that cries in your office that means that there are falling apart or or cries on zoom. Call which is especially awkward for for the person who's got tears but to two suggestions so first of all. Don't ignore it. I've i've i've heard stories where the manager just keeps talking as though the other person isn't crying and that just feels so awkward feel so invalidate it at and you feel like you have to stop crying even faster because they're not Be because they're just ignoring what you're doing so first of all. Don't ignore it. What i often do when this happens in my office i grabbed. The box of kleenex is from my shelf. Set it down in front of the person. And i might say something like. Hey it's okay. I have strong feelings too sometimes or another phrase. I like his feelings were forbidden. I wouldn't work here and that usually just makes it so validating for the other person to know this is okay. You know you make the invitation. Also that in addition to not ignore him I love that remind us to do that is to ask a question. What would a question sound like. So good advice here is to avoid. Why questions too. Because that can put people on the defensive so not to ask. Why are you crowning. Might say it in that gentle way. That i just said it but that puts the other person's on the defensive so better questions to ask might be. I see this stirring some strong feelings. If you don't mind my asking what's causing the emotion for you To allow the person to to say what's frustrating them or what's upsetting them. Another another one. I learned actually from you dave. I'm so grateful for this. Is you offer the question of what are you thinking. And i thought this was brilliant. You want to say more about why you like that language. What are you thinking yes. Sure one of the things. I learned when i was a carnegie instructor. I don't. I don't remember if this was part of the formal training or not or if someone just told me the song the way is you know we often ask people in our courses to tell stories and story sometimes bring out emotion and when someone would get in the situation where they were overcome with emotion and to the earlier point. There's lots of reasons. People cry right but but one reason is they really kind of get get overcome with emotion loose control a bit one of the things that i would try to do is to help them restore their own control and by asking a question. That was a very logical question versus question. I found that that sometimes would help people to get back to the place where they felt more in control and could continue talking her giving their message. Whatever it was and rather than asking a question like well how did you. How did that make you feel when it's obvious the emotion that's already there. I would ask what happened next. Because i want to help them to get through the story i want and by the way. There's a fine line here between helping someone restore their own control versus trying to control. The first helps them to save face. Ideally the the second. is you trying to avoid discomfort. And we don't that. The intention here shouldn't be to try to avoid our own discomfort with emotion. It should be to give them back control so they can communicate what they wanna say in the way they want to say it and just to help them get that control. I love that. I love that distinction between you're trying to regain control versus allowing the other person to regain their own control. Yes so often. You know we're all we're all doing impression management at work were all trying to bring our best selves and show people how capable. We are so showing that you trust that the other person can regain control is huge. I know some managers who have tried to when someone cries they say. Okay all right well we we can just stop there as though everything is falling apart and we can't continue whereas the other person probably going to appreciate it if you give them a chance to regain their composure. You can. you might even say. Do you want a minute. And the person might be really grateful for that. But don't view it. As i need to give up on you because that's disheartening. Like that's the time to really have the conversation right into your point like yes. Allow them out if they want to not have the conversation. But but do that from a place of i care about you. And i'm supporting you in this conversation versus. I'm trying to bail as soon as i can. Because those sometimes are the best conversations. If you're willing to work through that own discomfort you may have as a manager. You will hear things that you may have missed for the last nine months in that next minute or two when that emotion.

"Realize we. We have these hiccups. One of the things that you mentioned in the book is that managers ten to sugarcoat feedback. Generally which is no surprise for. I think most people but for women especially positive. Words in performance reviews don't correlate as much with their scores in their performance reviews. Tell me more about that. It's a really interesting findings so as you said. People are probably not surprised to hear that we sugar coat feedback right. We were nervous about saying the hard thing and so we try to find some way to soften the blow and perhaps we don't save the thing that we're thinking what's really interesting about the research on gender around this issue. Is that when social. Scientists have looked at actual performance reviews. They find this interesting pattern. Where in men's performance reviews if the words like excellent outstanding superior when those words appear in a performance review and there's also a numeric rating because some companies do both. You know one out of five or one out of three. The men who received those kinds of words though superior performance where it's also get the highest rating crazy. You're giving a five out of five and you're told you do the most outstanding work in the division so there's a lot of consistency for men but you see this interesting pattern for women where those same adjectives about superior performance outstanding. Excellent work brilliant performance. You'll see those words in women's reviews but it doesn't always correlate with their numbers so a woman who received those outstanding words might still receive a three which is average performance whereas for men. Those words only appear when they're receiving a five as as numeric rating. So there's some kind of sugar coating going on with the communists where the number perhaps reflects the person's more accurate performance but then when when the manager sits down to have to like review vicki's performance. They're like oh. But i don. I don't wanna hurt her feelings. And so they pad their comments. Even though they're being more honest with their numbers and that creates confusion for women we can feed create confusion for anyone right. If those two things don't line up but you're left wondering what we the second. Why why am. I getting three or four if i do. Some of the most outstanding work on this team is did anyone get a five right. We often don't share. Her performance. reviews that you're not sure. And in any case it it sends mixed signals to women and whereas men if they're getting three they're being told that there's lots of room for improvement Where's for some reason. Were hesitating to give that same kind of comment to women. that's really fascinating and it's unfortunate am wondering. Does the research support a conclusion as to why we do that as managers and and if not do you have a hypothesis. Well one interpretation. That's out there is a notion of something called protective hesitation. This was a term introduced by David thomas back in. I think two thousand and one and the notion here is first of all. Most of the managers giving feedback in corporate america tend to be male. It's not that there are only male feedback givers just that. We tend to have more men in leadership roles and protective hesitation. Is this notion that it's uncomfortable. It's always uncomfortable or it's mostly uncomfortable to give critical feedback to someone but it's especially uncomfortable to give critical feedback to someone of the different gender or different race so that means that white male managers are going to find it uncomfortable to give feedback to either women or people of color and as a result. One of the things that they'll do is still pad their comments with niceties. They'll they'll do you use the word sugar coating and that's exactly what they'll do because they'll be concerned the other person's gonna take it the wrong way. Maybe they're going to think. I'm sexist or racist if i if i honest with my concerns about their performance. They're going to think that. I don't believe women can do this kind of work. Which is not what. I believe all so. I'm gonna take a little step back just so that i don't potentially offend them or have them see me as one of those kinds of bosses whereas with men. That's not a concern off. The mail manager giving feedback to one of his male reports and so he's very direct about. Look you know your performance. This quarter didn't live up to what you've been able to do for the past three years. What's what's happening there whereas with women they're less likely to be that direct so protective hesitation is probably part of the problem. It raises the question. Of course do women also show protective hesitation to their female reports. And there's not enough data yet to answer that There's a team at stanford that's looking at that question but So far they haven't published their research yet. So we don't quite know it'd be really fascinating to find out and this is a great lead into us thinking about. How can we do better. And hopefully you know if we are able to follow some of these practical steps you've outlined that the research really supports that we can actually do a better job of giving feedback that doesn't bias third and you've identified in this this Partier work some of the common challenges that managers tend to run into when trying to give feedback and some of the situations where this tends to rear. Its more and one of them is and specifically this one that is through the lens of gender telling women to speak up and some of the waste address that and a. I'm wondering if you could play that out for a bit word is the show up. And what is that sound like so some of your listeners may relate to this may be. you've got someone on your team lindsay. She doesn't speak very much in meetings. And you know when you meet with lindsay one on one. She's got great ideas and so you're a little baffled right. How do i get lindsey to speak up in meetings and you're tempted and maybe you've tried this but you're tempted to tell lindsay like speak up guy great ideas and that chances are if you will. It's not necessarily always the case but a lot of times when women hear that feedback. They get frustrated because they anticipate off incorrectly that if they were speak up at the same volume and if they were to interrupt if they were to do with the men in the room were doing that they would be seen very differently that they wouldn't be seen as An equal that it would be considered rude behavior and there's actually research to show that Catherine hilton is is at stanford linguistics department and she finds that we've interruptions from women very differently from interruptions for men. And so lindsey would have a good point but this would be a concern so two suggestions that i offer in the book that i really like And these are alternatives to saying lindsay. Speak more so these these these are things you can do as a manager to to change the setting to make it more welcome for lindsay two or more easier for her to participate so one and this one is going to surprise. I know it surprised me. So i'm guessing it's going to surprise your listeners and that is when you're in a meeting call on a woman i so this is a fascinating study by done by researchers at oxford university in the uk. But they did it internationally. They looked at. I can't remember if of his eleven different countries but it was an international study and they looked in in real workplace settings where people were giving presentation to a team or to a room full of people and when they got their presentation. There's the discussion afterwards right. The qa.

"I'm sure they will be that person but that won't be there like primary fields of interest in what i mean so so i i do like to find those things that that i know. People who are sort of interested in the in the religious sphere are also going to be you know kind of driving with. Yeah yeah. I get that and i've been trying to go in that direction on my show recently trying to pin down like sort of what the the ultimate nugget of a belief system is because i think people oftentimes sent to get bogged down by words like enlightenment or you know to spiritual realm or heaven and things like that and they forget that sometimes these are really allegories things that we can experience on a day to day life. So i appreciate that. I'm curious about your teaching gig because you're so you teach high school you teach religion and the weird thing is that when when i realized that i wanted to ask you because my original spiritual journey began taking a high school. Religion course over cool. Yeah so you've talked about this on your show. But there's there's something about the fact of of rowing up kind of a religious household and my dad was a minister and stuff and getting to a place in your life where you kind of want to sort of reinvent to you are so you have go away from the way you were raised in order to create your own identity. And i'm curious if you ever experienced that with your students. It's hard to say because you know i've been teaching in a classroom setting for ten years and i certainly like there's a real wide range of students where i teach in terms of those who are very kind of set in their sort of family catholic tradition or whatever Or those who are just like very cynical and atheist. Dick i also teach students from a variety of countries and and difference. I have a lot of chinese and vietnamese students as well and so they're coming from their own sort of perspective. There's something about like the the the fact that within the classroom with all these sort of diverse backgrounds of of religion it takes a little bit of the intimidation factor off. I can see that. And you know i have. I definitely have heard from a couple of students that i've had in the past who not that. They went onto like studied religion or whatever. But who do who do cite a specific class. I took with me or whatever as being really informative to the way that they went to think about their own their own career. And so on. But you.

He joins us now. Dr shock congrats on the new gig. Welcome back to the show. Crag it's as you can imagine but Thanks for having me and thanks for the congratulations. Why have you decided to take on this new challenge in the state of washington. Well it's You know let me. Let me just say Again with mentioned about the sweet piece is that there's just so much that we have accomplished here and and so many incredible incredible staff members Department leadership and and just across the community cross county government but across the community. That have just done. Just such an amazing job It is really hard to leave. But i will tell you that what you know it. Opportunities are when they come before you and i was asked by governor ins lease Administration to join as the secretary of health. And it's an incredible privilege and honor to be asked for that And certainly i'm hopeful to be able to take that experience from here and what i've learned and been able to do here in harris county to state level and some excited about that. Would you characterize the challenges that washington state is facing as roughly the same as what we're facing here when it comes to the pandemic. Oh craig here's the thing so it it. We're all facing the same way. So i in fact i got this question yesterday from a reporter in in seattle and it was a very Very much a question. That i thought was interesting and it was about well. You know the state is big and it's diverse and you know it's got red and blue areas and it's got urban areas and it's got suburban areas and scott rural areas and not. Everybody has agreed on how we should fight the pandemic So what what are your thoughts about coming into that. And i thought that kind of sounds like harris county So you know it's it's seven point six million people it's it's larger than obviously harris county and in population and certainly size. But i will tell you that it. It is also true that throughout this pandemic what we are facing here in our community is similar to what we're facing across texas across the country and across the globe now everything is manifesting differently. So fortunately we although we've been seeing increases and yes. These are concerning trends here within our region. We're not seeing that same level that you've seen in el paso or other parts of texas other parts of the country now again we can't let our our eyes off the the the ball here because very quickly as you talked over the month things can change and when they change. They changed quickly. And so we've got to do everything we can to prevent it from happening in the first place. And that's why we've got a strategic opportunity right before the holidays to get things Right and for community to heed the call to to really change the behaviors that were having over the holidays. And that's going to really drive. You know what's going to happen for us in the next chapter for you know for our community. What's next for harris county health leadership. Well you know. Obviously county government is going to make a decision and You know. I'm leaving an incredibly strong Leadership team behind In fact you can see it on twitter. I tweeted it out recently and it's strong. It's experienced its diverse Dedicated passionate and that's what community wants from its public health leadership and so. I'm just incredibly proud of that team. Now it's never about the me. It's always about the we when when we do activities or we take on activities and so craig what i would say is that while i may be not here and cheering this community on from a distance that work continues and that team continues and they are here and they're ready but ultimately it's going to be county government and commissioner's court. Who's going to decide what they're going to do after i leave my last day. Here's december eighteenth What they're going to do after that in the interim period and certainly beyond that But i will tell you that we've got a great team and i'm hopeful that the community remembers the incredible work that we've done you know local health department of the year National accreditation Microsoft research Picking us as the only community in the country. The only health department the country for its project premonition We've you know we were ranked number two recently and peer rankings by seven hundred and forty local health departments across the country for who. They look to initiatives. There's a lot of incredible work that we've done and craig one that i know you're I've talked about this before. Related to animals When i started at the at the department as the director are leave alive rate animals. That left our shelter. Alive was was about fifteen percent. This is twenty twelve twenty thirteen. It is now ninety eight percent. We have actually changed the narrative. These are things that we have to be proud of as a community and as a as the government. I just really want to just say that. We can't do it alone. In this pandemic has shown this you know obviously harvey and katrina rita i e carvey all these hurricanes and tropical storms but also you know h one n one ebola zico now covid nineteen. We have a lot of work that continues. There's never a good time to leave. But i'm very proud of our department and our team and i'm excited about the fact that they're going to continue that that work into the future. What parting advice. Can you offer to huston. Ian the department and its initiatives not just about cove in the current surge in cases about the region's health and general. Well a two things. One is that look cova. Nineteen is a. It's a crisis it's pandemic it is. Let's not let's not let our focus off of that so What i've been calling twenty twentieth the first half of football game. It's the first half the holidays coming up here. We're going to be at halftime. Usually people take a charge Recharge during halftime they changed strategy. They think about what's up ahead. We know twenty twenty one's gonna be vaccines vaccines vaccines and certainly We've got to be readying ourselves for the second half so halftime so critical. So if you don't have to have thanksgiving holidays with a lot of people don't and fact Make him very small holidays. a few people your social bubble your immediate people in your family Don't travel do those kinds of things if you're gonna do those things. Please look at our website for safety precautions. That's the one thing koba. Nineteen craig the second thing. Let's remember the value proposition of of true health. Not just health care delivery about prevention about the investment in public health systems. The reason that we have got into some of this mess across the country is we have not appreciated the value of public health and prevention. And so we wait for people to get sick and then we try to do things. We wait for people to get injured and we try to do things. Let's invest upfront. And if we do that in county and city and and even state and federal governments we invest truly unhealth then we can have a healthier community. Dr rumor shaw's the soon to be departing executive director of harris county public health. Doctor shaw thanks very much. Thank you craig. It's been an honor to be with the all. These

How Did Juneteenth Get Started?
"Every year on June nineteenth, millions of people across America. Come together to celebrate June eighteenth with parties parades, prayer, breakfast and golf tournaments, cookouts and music. The holiday is now officially recognized in forty seven states plus Washington DC though it hasn't been made a national holiday yet, despite having been around for more than one hundred and fifty years. We spoke with Paula Austin a professor of African American Studies and History at Boston University. She said You'd be surprised. There are many students who get to my class, and they sort of never learned about the history of enslavement. They've never learned about the civil rights movement. I think I've had students who because of where they're from, or their families know about June eighteenth, and of actually participated in the celebrations, but most students come, and they don't know. But let's go back to the beginning on June nineteenth eighteen, sixty, five more than two months after confederate general Robert e Lee surrendered to ulysses s grant at APP Maddix which all, but ended the civil war, a US army officer by the name of Major General Gordon Granger. In Huston Texas with two momentous announcements, the end of the civil war, and with it the end to slavery. Nobody is quite sure why it took so long for news of summation to reach Texas several stories have been told throughout the years though none has ever been confirmed including one of an earlier messenger who was killed on his way to Texas to tell the news of freedom. Others believe that some enslavers truth, but simply continued going about business as usual. The most likely is simply that there were not enough troops to enforce the emancipation proclamation whether enslaved people knew about it or not, so things remained status quo. That is until Major General. Grainger showed up. After granger's announcement, some of the two hundred fifty thousand freed people in Texas, immediately left for the promise of true freedom in the north, while others traveled to rejoin family members one formerly enslaved person, Molly Herrell said in the slave narratives of Texas. We all walked down the road singing shouting to beat the band. Others stayed defined pain work in the fields elsewhere. That day marks what is now often called lack independence day, or the fourth of July. It's the American celebration of freedom from slavery. June teen was first observed in Texas in eighteen, sixty six. It wasn't officially recognized as a holiday in any state until Texas did so in Nineteen, seventy nine. Since then only North Dakota South Dakota and Hawaii have declared a holiday. In recent years both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate have formally recognized June nineteenth as June, tenth Independence Day. Various movements to grant the day status is a national holiday are ongoing. US Senator Cory Booker said in two thousand eighteen. On this day we must confront ugly parts of our history and honor the slaves who suffered and died under a repressive regime. We must also pay tribute to all those who had the strength and conviction to fight to end slavery and keep our Union together. June teeth independence. Day is also an important moment to recognize how far we've come and take note of how far we have yet to go. Certainly during the original June eighteenth, there was still a lot of work to be done. It came just months after the civil war ended and two years after the emancipation proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which abolished slavery, had been passed by Congress was well on its way to being ratified by the states, but the fourteenth and fifteenth guaranteeing equal protection and the right to vote to all citizens, regardless of skin color were still a couple years off. And not all enslaved people in Texas were immediately freed some held by defiant plantation owners were not emancipated until much later, some formerly enslaved people who tried to leave historical reports show were tracked down and killed. Many more stepped into a future of poverty, fear and uncertainty. Austin suggests that many Americans ignorance about June eighteenth stems from a disinclination to completely face the country's past slavery, and it's far reaching and continuing aftermath. Still? June eighteenth has persevered. Its observance has waned through the years under the oppression of Jim Crow laws and attitudes, but the festivities that began in Texas eventually spread to more states and the idea of commemorating block independence picked up through the civil rights era of the nineteen sixties, and the parties continued today. Austin, said the kinds of celebrations that I've seen and been a part of have been incredibly wonderful there about black culture there about black history there about the resistance and the resilience of the black community. Several years before grainger made his do nineteenth declaration in Galveston famed American Orator Frederick Douglass himself formerly enslaved, spoke to an abolitionist group in New York about the fourth of July. As being dave independence, and how it didn't fit for all Americans, he said what the American slave is your fourth of July I answer a day that reveals to him more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. Opel Lee a former schoolteacher counselor in Fort Worth. Texas has been instrumental in trying to get June. Tenth recognized as a national, holiday. This year she'll walk from the Fort Worth Convention Center to the will. Rogers Coliseum, leading a caravan, urging people to sign a petition for the cause leave who is ninety three years old has been part of the Fort Worth June eighteenth festivities for more than forty years. Last year, it's as important as the fourth of July. In fact I dream some day. They celebrate from the nineteenth to the fourth like they do Mardi Gras. I haven't dreamed as large as the Rose Bowl or the macy's parade, but I'm getting there. To those who observed June eighteenth despite its shaky beginnings, and it's still unfulfilled pledge the day still holds the promise of freedom, independence, equality, ideas, and ideals always celebrating.

"Well began on Friday with rockets general manager Darryl Lori putting out a tweet that was an image that expressed support for the Hong Kong Freedom Movement the controversy began when the rockets Maury fired off this tweet fight for freedom stand with Hong Kong that statement of support for hypocrisy protesters was seen as an affront to the teams Chinese fan base tweet was quickly deleted but the damage was already done Tillman for the her of the Houston Rockets this does the rockets very quickly teams owner tweeting more he does not speak for the Houston Rockets China reacted strongly they condemned Daryl's comments China's council the General in Huston urge the team to clarify and immediately correct mistakes any statement on Sunday is the NBA there was shock at just how big a story this has become and now we have a geopolitical incident that was affected really sparked with one tweet Chris Mannix you've been covering the story for sports illustrated do you have any idea why Daryl Morey tweeted support for Hong Kong all of a sudden no I've known Daryl Morey for a longtime he's an incredibly smart guy I don't know what was the impetus for the tweet and it's interesting that he would do that just because Daryl's been the GM of the rockets for a long time and Darryl knows full well the influence of the rockets in the NBA on China Darryl is the GM of a team that was the home of Ya Ming one of the biggest international stars ever so he knows exactly what kind of effect this is going to have and he went out there and did it all the same aside from China getting angry have there been any consequences for the NBA well ten cent which has a long standing deal with the NBA they stream the majority of the NBA Games they're responsible for the close to five hundred million viewers that are watching NBA Basketball in China they announced that they will stop showing Houston Rockets Games the Chinese Basketball Association which ironically is run by Ming at this point they said that they were cutting ties with the Houston Rockets its sponsors affiliated with China pulled away from the rockets so anything Chinese effectively severed their ties with the rockets in a very short period of time okay so China got mad the rockets owner tried to sweep it under the rug I saw rockets players trying to deal with this James Hardie it was like apologize we love we love no plane you know we appreciate the support that they give us individually in as an organization so we love you but how did the NBA itself react all the NBA's reaction wasn't great we reported the NBA statement saying we recognize that the views expressed the Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China which is regrettable it really this is supposed to be the woke league they did say in that kind of word salad of a statement that Darryl had the right to say anything he wanted but they said that he had to write saving educated on the matter and that rang a little hollow with some people so wasn't a very strong statement in the NBA face pretty swift backlash Senator Ted Cruz Texas Republican said the NBA is quote shamefully retreating in pursuit of big money Democratic presidential candidate who Castro says the US shouldn't allow American citizens to be bullied by authoritarian government they walk it back at the NBA walked that statement back very quickly so you'd you know Adam Silver who was over in Asia anyway as part of these international games that are taking place right now he made a much more forceful state in a statement that frankly better reflects I think what the NBA really stands for the long held values of the are to support freedom of expression and certainly freedom of expression by members of the NBA Community and in this case they're more as the general manager of the Houston Rockets enjoys dat right as one of our employees I understand that there are consequences from that exercise of an essence his freedom of speech and we will have to live with those consequences in the NBA coaches like Steve Curry Gregg Popovich takes wrong positions on domestic issues Gregg Popovich was quoted calling Donald Trump a soulless coward wonder what the people sick about who votes good for him where they're line is how much they can take where does the morality and decency kick in NBA didn't have anything to say on that publicly so the NBA really can't take a position on Daryl morey saying what he said publicly so the NBA initially kind of bungling their reaction they recovered pretty quickly and put out a statement that I think better reflects positions how're the NBA state Vince perceived in China it seems like you know anything short of Daryl Morey being fired and his comments being disavowed is not going to satisfy the Chinese government the Chinese Basketball Association or anybody that might be involved with this story they came out with some statements of their own saying eh agreed with the NBA's position on this but the NBA has stood pretty firm and that's really all they can do at this point there's a good chance that the NBA loses some money as a result of this but in the grand scheme of things the NBA doesn't need that money to survive so it's a bad situation the end I would like no part of but it doesn't really affect their bottom line so who needs who more here does does the NBA China does China need the NBA more I would argue that China needs the NBA more than the NBA needs China I mean China can't walk back decades of NBA basketball being in Deuce to its population and more than a billion people the NBA proudly touted the number of people that play basketball in China it's three hundred million they talk about the number the watch basketball in China it's just under five hundred million about twenty one million people watch game six of the NBA finals this past year that's an astronomical number even for a domestic viewership you can't just take that away from people in not expect people to want it back there really isn't a alternative in China they have the Chinese Basketball Association but it's nowhere near the level of basketball that the NBA plays on these stars from the NBA from Lebron James James Harden to Steph curry they are close to household names in China people by their sneakers they wear their jerseys he's but it's still unclear exactly how far China's willing to take this do you think right now the NBA is regretting how open it is on speech I mean the NBA has proudly empowered its players to speak up to be political Lebron's spoken up a lot on race steph curry and some of the other warriors have spoken out against trump coaches give political speeches can the NBA walk that back when comes to China when it's so encouraged here no the NBA can't walk any of this back in they have to live with situations like this they simply can't turn around and create new policy that says players can't speak on political issues or social issues and frankly I don't believe the NBA would do that the NBA's organization has established itself as a progressive one knows just back in two thousand sixteen when the NBA pulled an all star game out of Charlotte because the League disagreed with the North Carolina Bathroom Bill they've Asian themselves as a league willing to take stands on these types of things frankly I think the NBA relishes the attention that it's players get for taking stands on issues like this so behind the scenes maybe there's some conversation taking place some reminders about just how much money is being brought in in foreign markets but overall the NBA's not gonNa stop anyone from saying anything about any particular issue the

I've been offered some weird stuff weird. Does he it's either? Like, I don't know at the my offers are so diverse. Yeah. It's either would you like to do this movie in Puerto Rico for no money, you won't have a trailer. But it's a great part or it's John wake. I don't know if I'm waiting somewhere in between those movies. Do you like to do those? I did a movie last year called trouble with the writer of a smash which which was a series. I did for a couple of years in New York few years ago, Theresa Reback, and yeah, I I did it because I believe in Theresa's work. And and and it was nice, and I was central to the movie, and I worked my azoff. But yeah, I did it without a trailer. I'm by trailer. I mean, like motorhome the I get it. I I I. I've been acting not that long in and the last I did days work on some movie, and they gave me like I think an eighth of a trailer. Well, yeah, that's like the triple banger some hideous thing. There was a partition, and I get here the other actor you hear them here the flush of their lavatory ah. It's I know it's humiliating. It's almost a little better not to have anything because then you go. I'm I'm over here. Gun. They sent me. They sent me back to the city in an Uber. Exactly. All right. This is this is the movie business city yourself lucky. That's how things are these days. So if you wanna do the thing, then you know, you have to go along with that. Yeah.

But a lot of them are most of these are good movies. If people saw that one with you did with Sean Penn. That's that's a heavy movie. Oh, yeah. That's that's actually beautiful movie the crossing guard, and we, but so that was that one of those things where sort of you and Jack were union. Yeah. We hadn't seen each other for quite a long, right? When we made that movie. And I think we carried a lot of the the baggage from sure from our relationship. I don't want to call it just baggage. But the the history, All right? right and ship. You guys knew each other a long time. And now is it just sort of like, you're just pals? Yeah. You kind of live through it. Right. Yeah. It's nice.

Missouri Senate race: Claire McCaskill, Josh Hawley race intensifies
"You know, this could go either direction, but like you mentioned, you know, Heller. Was considered the most vulnerable vulnerable vulnerable Republican in the Senate, and he still is by he's actually been able to get around some of the issues that were really big Thornton inside at the beginning of the campaign. One of the big issues that Jackie Rosen who is a political newcomer. She's a first term congresswoman she was recruited by Harry Reid to run for the house in two thousand sixteen. So she doesn't have a lot of experience, but she's been going after Heller really hard on healthcare. Heller was one of those senators who came out initially when Senate Republicans were debating repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act and said, you know, I have some concerns about this. But then he eventually voted for that motion to proceed voted for the skinny repeal of the Affordable Care Act to get rid of the individual mandate. So Jackie Rosenthal, going after Hans saying, you know, you flip flopped on the Affordable Care Act. She's been running these really memorable ads featuring this orange inflatable to man, the kind of thing you see outside the car repair shops as sort of I come here type deal all she's been running ads accusing him of being Senator spineless saying he'd been blowing with the wind. Of Washington, and that sort of been her biggest attack against him is that he's cave to Senate Republican leadership, and he came to President Donald Trump going against the best interests of Nevada. And what's interesting about that is Heller actually said that he was ninety nine percent opposed. Donald Trump is sixteen election. He's been slowly warming to the president over the last two years. It was really happy about tax reform campaigning on that issue. So Jackie Rosen's than sort of trying to keep her her head above water, and sort of just run a straightforward campaign and the biggest attack against hers. This fact that she's a political newcomer running ads against her saying she's accomplished zero in the house. She accomplished zero before she announced her bid for the Senate. So why do you want to elect her when you know, I've been around? He I I was in the house in two thousand six he's been around for twelve years. So they have that experience contrast as well. Interesting because Heller was was not pro Trump. In fact, looked like he was gonna face a a primary from a very very trope pro-trump candidate Danny hurricane. And apparently Donald Trump called often Danny Tarquini and told him to run for congress instead. And now Heller seems to be pretty Trumpian running running in this campaign. Exactly. Yeah. When when janey Tarquini and who's run several political offices in Nevada over the years has never won. But but frequently runs he got in that race, and he actually said that Heller sort of waffling on the Affordable Care Act to repeal and replace was one of his main reasons for getting in the race. He was he was unhappy that Heller wasn't out in front behind the president from the get-go. But then you had Heller changing as though ultimately being a little bit more supportive of the agenda and that president ended up getting behind Taylor. And actually recently called him one of his his his best friends in in congress rally out here in Las Vegas. Okay. I want to come back to this including the the importance of the of the Hispanic vote and. Role. It's gonna play in in Nevada. Nancy, let's come back to New Jersey. The Senate contest between the two bobs Menendez in Huston. His we mentioned for it's really gotten into nasty territory, even by New Jersey, even by New Jersey standards. In fact, we this is the this. This latest is is an ad from Bob Hubin, according to the FBI

Inner city of cabinets and even after, those scenes are Sunday the police didn't really manage to get the. Situation under control yesterday why was that has had the police said that they were?

There in the end it, was several Thousands of protesters there are no official numbers the estimates range. From five to ten thousand people and the police calculated with just a few hundreds? Of.
