Professor Paul Kengor Talks Ronald Reagan and Johnny Carson
"Delighted to have with us from grove city college. The relatively new editor of the American spectator, professor Paul kango. Welcome back to America first. Hey, thanks, Seb, and that Reagan appearance on Johnny Carson. I would really commend that to people if they could track it down and watch the whole thing. It's very, very good. And it's pre presidential years. It's in the 1970s. And I don't know how many people know this. I mean, I know this because of my research on Reagan, but Johnny Carson was a Reagan supporter. In fact, yeah, I've seen a number of letters at the Reagan library between Carson and Reagan and in fact, one of them, Reagan is directly thanking Carson, Carson and his wife. I think her name was Joanne, maybe. Thanking them for a campaign contribution. So they had been, yeah, Carson was a Republican and a Reagan supporter. And so were a lot of his major guests via Bob Hope, for example, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart. And in those days, Hollywood was, I'd say much more balanced, although actually I think it's probably more balanced today than people realize it's just that the conservatives there today are terrified to speak up because liberals today are so brutal that they will destroy you if you come out as a Republican.

"But it's going to take a while, I don't know if people will lose money. That's unclear. Janet Yellen was on the Sunday morning news programs this morning. And was kind of reluctant to say much. She essentially said what you'd expect, which is, well, depositors, under a quarter of a $1 million, you're going to get your money back. The rest of you we're going to get your money back and it's going to take some time. It's going to take some time. So the real concern is tomorrow morning. And this is something everybody might be impacted. And we don't know what's going to happen. But there is a risk as always with a run of the bank when a bank collapses, especially at big bank like Silicon Valley bank that others go to their bank and say, you know what I want my money. But as Gemma Stewart said, we don't have your money. It's been lent out to Micah for his mortgage, right? It's been lent out. Even with those T bills, you can't get it right away because there's a term. I think a lot of their investments for ten year terms. So if you go to your bank and say, I want all my cash, they can do that for some people, but they have to keep some reserves. I can't remember what the percentage is higher than it used to be after 2008. But I think it's, I don't know, 5, ten, 20%, whatever it is, we'll find out tonight. But so they could pay out that much, but they don't keep the money in the vault. Right. So that's a run on the bank. If everybody, all the depositors say, give me my money, the bank has to go close at stores. Remember, and it's a wonderful life. Jimmy Stewart started taking money. I wish we had that clip. See if you can find that clip. I think we can play that. He starts taking money out of his own pocket. I said, look, I can't give you all your money back. But how much do you need to get behind? I'll take $17 and 50 cents. Oh, bless your heart. And so he and they're watching the clock till it's 5 p.m. and they can legally shut the doors because if you shut the door before the closing time, I don't know something bad happens. So they made it 5, four, three, two. Oh, wow, we made it. Right? Wow. So anyway, that's all I know about runs on banks is from it's a wonderful life and Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. So that's not a really good education. But this is potentially catastrophic. What it will impact. And if you're on Twitter at all, this is unfortunate, but you have to kind of go to Twitter to see what's going on. Everybody, a lot of startups are saying, oh, you know, we're not going to make payroll. This trickles down to normal people. We're not going to we're not going to be able to pay people. You know, Etsy is not going to be able to pay sellers. So we don't know how bad this will be until maybe tomorrow. When the bank opens for business and we see. But it could be catastrophic. We are going to get Jason calacanis, who has been his hair has been on fire all weekend. He's been tweeting in caps all weekend. We're going to get him on twit this afternoon about 4 o'clock Pacific. Is this the club? Here it is. I have some news for you, folks. It's an old show. The bank's going to reopen next week.

"I don't imagine he went in without his eyes wide open to the fact that he was going to be trading Mookie betts. Oh yeah, that definitely, but everything that's happened after. I don't know, anyway. At some point during that exchange, I think you said that bogarts don't grow on trees, something to that effect. Yeah. And I hate to break this to you, but the AI also said that. This exchange that sir percival plugged in prompt where we banter about what it would take for the Red Sox to re sign bogarts and AI been actually not AI Meg said and it's not like they can just replace them easily, shortstops, like bogarts, don't grow on trees. Why are we, why aren't we more worried about this? You know, like I don't want to overreact instantly out loud before it gets out of hand. I don't want to be one of those people who's doing the 2020 equivalent of being like the novel's going to roll on the world. We've already made that version of me. So I'm like Jimmy Stewart a little bit, but we shouldn't we be a little more kids than about this. I don't know, man. So we're underreacting a little bit. Anyway, AI Ben sounds pretty confident that the red sucks are going to bounce back from this. He said, it's never easy to lose a player like Bogart's, but the Red Sox are resilient team. I'm sure they'll find a way to move on and continue to be successful. Real flesh and blood Ben is not quite as sanguine about the Red Sox prospects at least in the short term. But as Scott Boris said, the Red Sox without X are so, so. I'm so, I've gotten, I can't remember if I said this yesterday. I've gotten to the point in my recovery from the flu where I am able to focus more on my active disappointment that I couldn't go to San Diego and a lot of that has to do with CN people who I haven't seen in a while and feel sad that I didn't get to catch up with my Friends and also just thinking still about that branzino, like every day. But I really, I was really looking forward to giving you a live report then, you know, like from the scene of Boris's. Yeah, we've done that before. But like, I go to really been there, you know? I had a plan and the best laid plans of mice and men about the AI says that sometimes too. Yeah, probably. The good or bad news is that the AI seems to struggle coming up with Scott Boris. So it's not great, really. Annealing. Yeah. That's the best. Yeah. That's the way forward. Yeah. Okay, that makes me feel a little bit better about it. Right, it's Zion in the matrix is puns for us, basically. Now we're back to 14. All right, well, the last thing I'll say about this is just that, yeah, the 11 years is wild and this seems to be a trend. They're just teams that are just tacking on tons of years here. And we've seen this another sports, right? It just happened in the NHL. It happens in the NFL, like salary cap sports, I guess they called them void years in the NFL. Where you can just kind of tack on yours and get around things. And in the NHL, they did the same thing until eventually they took it too far, and it was the New Jersey Devils, I believe, who kind of spoiled the party by having a contract that they offered to Ilya kovalchuk that was just so beyond the pale.

Yeah, but yeah, I mean, this is his most like acting, you know, he gets to be crazy. And I feel like that's really fun as an actor, but also really challenging. Yeah. Hard to do well. We need it well. It's not come across as pretentious. Yeah. But it's like what you were saying in the scenes with the TVs and stuff in the future or a little bit much. You know, it's like, it's just a little bit over the top, you know? Over the top. Well, it definitely made it seem like, man, I don't know if I want to live in this future. Maybe it's not so bad. I know you get why he's wanting to go live his life back in the past. Yeah. But they weren't even trying to go back to the past. They were just trying to get an original sample to create a cures that they could go back to the surface. And kept appearing to explain the plot of this to other people, and it was really hard to do an assistant way. Which I can, I feel like that's a good sign of what good storytelling is when it's so complicated like you understand it when you watch it, but when you try to tell it back to somebody and you're like, oh, I can't do this. Yeah. You must see it. You just got to see it. You must watch. It's really good. I like 12 monkeys. What was the tribe you might know, the Jimmy Stewart movie that they were watching in the middle? Like he was watching the birds after they'd like watch some double force. But the Jimmy Stewart movie where they're looking at their tree rings. Vertigo. That was vertigo? Yeah. And ironically, not about a woman posing as someone else.

Bart Herbison Tells Us About the Nashville Songwriters Association
"When I talk about the Nashville songwriter association, they asked, well, what is that? So let's start off here, but just won't tell a little bit about how you got into this and also about the national songwriters as well. Well, me first a little hoity toity. My father was a painter in Paris. A house painter in Paris Tennessee. And look, we grew up in a rural area, somewhat poor, and music was the thing. Music, my grandma played piano in our little Methodist Church, and everybody was musical in my family. Three brothers played Trump at I blew mine, the other two played theirs. And I guess it's 16 years old. I got a job as a dish jockey at the local radio station, which was an NBC affiliate, and ended up doing some work on a national show they had. But a guy that grew up with me became a very famous songwriter named Jimmy Stewart, he wrote brotherly love, the last number one for Keith. Whitley, a little less talk for Toby, and I just was always drawn to that. I always drawn to they just make this up out of thin air and I said as a child some day somehow I'll work with American songwriters, and I did. For us, the origin story, I don't sing, but remember please release me let me go. The waste our lives would be a sin, release me and let me love again. That was written by Eddie Miller. Yeah, singing was not part of that too at bar. It takes a while to pass the bill. And he was a real southern gentleman, and he thought we can orgas the songwriters. There were only 80 songwriters total 80 in the entire town of Nashville in 1967. And he reached out to all of them and a lot didn't want to risk their career because even our friends within the music industry didn't necessarily want to see the songwriters quote unquote organize. But Eddie got married John wilkin Chris Christopherson fully and boulevard Bryant Liz and Casey Anderson, a bunch of really important songwriters and 42 risk their careers to become an advocate advocacy group for American

"And, you know, sometimes I'm a little quick on my reads. And he's basically admitted that this week. And but he came to a rookie quarterback. He's not going to be perfect. And, you know, to basically be like, you know, to have a 19% error rate, that's really good in an NFL game for a second game. So I think he's, I think he's doing a great job. I didn't think he played great in this game. You know, some of his throws were off and other things. But, you know, I think in terms of his progression, he's in a great spot. So it sounds like patriots fans should feel probably a little bit better right now about last week's game than they did right after last week's game. Regarding Mac Jones, anything else quickly, that jumped out at you on the all 22? No, well, I mean, you know, I don't know if we want to get into this now, but just, you know, because there was some talk on Felder Mas and of course it got taken out of context because Jimmy Stewart the producer there tries to be really funny. And, you know, he remember, radio shows are entertainment as Nick would know well. They're not exactly journalism. And so, you know, sometimes Jimmy pushes the envelope a little bit too to create some controversy around the show, especially his people are not doing that. And so, you know, I brought up something that has been something I've thought about from time to time. I'm not saying it's factual. I'm not saying that's the case, but there have been times where I've wondered is does Mac Jones height affect him in the pocket a little bit, where he doesn't see everything that say a 6 foot four 6 foot 5 quarterback..

"You know i think these terms can be misleading for people and so if we agreed on a terminology so that we all have a point of reference that is helpful so we could agree that there's a guardian angel and there is a guide our primary guide or a master spirit guide one. That's with you from birth to death life in between lives and the guardian angel. There's one angel this with you from birth to death and life in between lives but what we're really talking about are different frequencies angelic around the frequency versus a guy who may have lived many many lifetimes on earth and that's how they amassed all their expertise to become your guide but in different cultures. Like for example. I've spent a lot of time in the uk. They will talk about guardians and so an american. Here's that and thanks. Oh they're talking about guardian angels. No they're using the word guardian for guide so at the end of the day. What's important is that your whoever is protecting you from spirit and assisting you from spirit that they are being helpful and healing to you whatever you call them. The guides ever abandoned us suzanne. No but we abandon ourselves sometimes. Why not listening to our own. Inner voice by not perceiving or paying attention to the signs. Assembles the synchronicity. Those weird coincidences. That seem to point the way for us. They are always with us. God's know everything no absolutely not. And that's that's the really tricky part george because people will go to get a psychic to connect with guys or they'll go in Do cards to make their own direct connection or a pendulum or sitting meditation. And they'll ask us specific questions for example Am i going to get married. And how many children will they have and they expect that answer and you know guys can be a little flippant sometime and say well. Do you wanna get married until you wanna have kids because really. It's a free will type of thing but they can see a little bit out in front of us based on our current trajectory. Remember the movie. it's a wonderful life jimmy stewart. Absolutely clarence the angel was that his spirit guide his guardian angel. I think so. I think what we were being shown is a relatable every man. You know jimmy stewart. He he was that guy that guy that would be like your best buddy women like two men wanted to be him or hang out with them and so we could relate to that character and know that no matter how bad you think you have it that there's always something to be thankful for and that there's someone in spirit who's taking care of us even though it's not happening necessarily in the timeframe we wanted a great name in the movie george i love it towards bailey. That was. It was a classic. I mean that's one of those movies. My mother sat me down with her. When i was about seven o'clock seven years old and she said you will remember this for the rest of your life.

"Punitive damage that makes me get out of my vm. W yeah and icees obviously just a an extension of the trip of a simple country lawyer like matlock or Yeah i mean. Jimmy stewart in anatomy of a murder was kind of the one of the first great examples of You know i'm just a simple simple mind. I'm not bake fancy high price city lawyer with braces and stuff like that. So so it's it's kind of very much trying to get the jury to sailor i you know. You don't need to be intimidated by may. I'm not some brilliant intelligent rich lawyer. I'm justice guy like year and in this kind game even furthering you know bad by by by your motivational so so you can trust me when i know this thing about the law because i don't understand anything so if i can get this. And it's the same with with the simple country hyper chicken and futurama. Who is yeah is like i. I may not know much. But i know this and say you can trust me when i say this. So our second examples from scrubs this from season three of scrubs where the the the kind of mankind has are still quite new. Doctors and jd in this episode has just kind of saved. Someone's life by beating another doctor to the to the roman and when i was a cocaine the large black family if the guy. He saved a thanking him. You can't imagine how grateful we are. Let me ask them. Who the cool. Doc you call when you want to save your husband paul. it's from shaft. come on how can you guys get that. That's our citizen kane. Anyway thanks again. You real hero. Oh please high put my pants on one leg time just like you guys. After i put my pants on. I save your husband life. So yeah that phrase of i put my pants on one leg time just like everyone else is reasonably common in this kind of scenario where it's like. Don't treat me like a hero. Don't treat is different from you guys. i'm the same. We're all just the same in certain ways. I just i just i do. I just have way more money than you do. Or whatever about the differences that is unspoilt. Yeah but that's that's the thing. Is that the comedic terms the the gag is making the fallacy of use by voicing the bit is the difference you know makes you uncommon whereas in politics. They just keep that on voiced. And that's because if you did that prick the bubble of your it makes you kind of it. Makes you pompous in a way. Yes i'm i'm just like my pants on one leg of.

How has this changed your life. i i will. I will start by saying you know it starts with. Obviously it starts with george lucas and me growing up. You know obviously ahead westerns in my life. But you know. When i grew up started to switch over to the space stories in the science fiction because i don't know why because they did and Star wars for me was exactly that hans solo. Is you know my grandfather. And so many different types of his characters that he's played you know and and then you have the the mark hamels and things like that. They're like the jimmy stewart's that were luke skywalker like the jimmy stewart. You you see like really demanded shot liberty. Valance is kind of what i saw When i watch star wars you know my grandfather's. He's not a white hat wearing cowboy but he does the right thing and in the toughest situations and he's willing to sacrifice for the good of all which is something that as of mythology we all want in our lives and it's really important. I know being the father of three kids. It's important that these kind of values are put out there and so That's what star wars was and is and you know was last eight kids. I have five brothers and so when it came time to pick who you got to be in stores. I ended up having to be boba. Fett all the time and Because they were bigger and stronger and faster.

Hollywood Icon and Chicago Native Kim Novak On Her Relationship With Art
"That is the opening theme to the 1958. Hitchcock thriller Vertigo, starring Jimmy Stewart. And Kim Novak came out of what's known as Hollywood's golden age, but for many studio actors working at that time Things weren't always so golden. Kim Novak was one of Hollywood's top box office stars, which meant she faced a grueling work schedule. The studio system put huge pressure on her and she suffered abuse. Luckily, she had a coping mechanism. Hurt. Until one day. She left. Chemist now in her late eighties, And earlier this year, she put out a book of her paintings called Kim Novak, her art and life. I was so delighted. Get the chance to talk to Kim Novak from her home in Oregon. Kim, How are you? I'm five dogs. Thank you.

Wanted art give you growing up? Well, it gave me many things. But I would say mostly courage because I felt confident in my ability for one thing, but I felt confident. And being able to forge ahead with my own and trust my feelings and my instincts. And for me, it was always about feelings, because I I need to get that out of me. I don't like keeping in feelings locked in. I want them expressed. And every time I get a feeling a strong feeling, I'm at my easel.

"And welcome to Tech stuff. I'm your host, Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer here at how stuff works. No love, all things Tech. And today we're gonna talk about a person who was very important in technology, although it was not acknowledged or really widely known for many decades and after her actual contribution, and this comes from Several listeners who have requested that I cover heavy Lamar. So from the 19 thirties until 1958 Hedwig Ava Keys Lor, better known in the United States as heavy Lamar appeared in feature films like Boom Town, Lady of the Tropics and Tortilla flat. She played Delilah in Samson and Delilah and the Cecil B de Mille epic film. She acted opposite people like Jimmy Stewart and Judy Garland and Siegfried Girl or Ziegfeld Girl. I should say not Siegfried. She was in several films and TV shows, but more importantly, to tech stuff. She made important contributions to technology that for decades Was completely unknown by the general public and on Lee relatively recently has been part of the general discussion, essentially since about 1990 or so in this episode. I'm going to talk a lot about Hey, Lamar's life, not just her work in technology, and I'm doing this because I think it's really important to get an understanding of what her world was like and what it must have been like to come up with. Fiendishly clever and useful idea that would go unacknowledged for decades. Her story is In many ways tragic but to understand that tragedy we really need to learn about her life and general so heavy. Lamar was born on November 9th 1913 in Vienna, Austria, to a well to do Jewish family. Her father was a banker and a technology enthusiast and as a child Lamar was known to be really curious and inquisitive and drawn to the sciences, particularly chemistry. She enjoyed studying and she enjoyed experimenting with stuff. At the age of five. She took apart a music box to see how it worked, and then meticulously reassembled it so that it would work again. Reportedly, she spent a lot of time talking with her father, a meal Keesler and an effort to learn how stuff works. Sounds like she would have really liked the website I wrote for She wanted know stuff about electricity. How streetcars worked how power plants work and when she grew into a teenager She also knows that people started treating her differently. She was a beautiful young woman, and she could not help but notice that she had a real effect on other people when she was in their presence, particularly among men, and she found she kind of liked having this sort of power and effect on people. At the age of 16. She started modeling for photographers, including doing so nude modeling. And in the 1990 interview, Lamar referred to herself as a long fall. Terry, you blue! Terrible child, in other words, as a French expression, and it typically means a child who speaks without any kind of filter. Someone who might just speak what they're thinking immediately without considering it's a fact and thus potentially embarrassing and adult nearby, For example, it happened to be personally when I was in a grocery store. And a mom and her little son are walking past me and the little son looks at me, then looks at his mom and says, Mommy, That man has no hair. Well, that's true. I'm bald, but I know that I'm familiar with it. It's not a shock to my system. I've been living that way for two decades, but the mother was horrified that her child would say something like that. In public in earshot of me. I thought it was funny because it was just an observation that didn't bother me at all. But that's sort of the kind of thing they mean. But the expression can also refer to someone in the creative arts like an actor or a dancer or an artist or photographer, someone who thinks outside the norm, who is more often guard and more daring and potentially more. Offensive. As a result, someone who goes against the standard and therefore it can end up stirring up trouble. She referred to herself in this context. 1933 When she was just 19 years old. She was cast in a Czech Austrian film called Ecstasy. This movie became infamous at the time. For one thing, Eddie Lamarr appears nude in the film in a couple of different scenes, and there was also a sex singing in that movie that was considered positively scandalous by the standards of the day. Lamar would earn for herself a reputation that would follow her throughout her life. Largely because of that movie unfairly, I would say, especially when you compare it to films today it was Nothing particularly racy by Ah, lot of today's R rated movie standards, but at the time it was considered absolutely scandalous. She also had to reconcile with her father, whom she loved dearly. In fact, she would later say in her life that no man she ever was attached to could measure up to her father. He was extremely upset by the film and the scandal and then sort of as a way to kind of Redeem herself In a sense, she went on to perform in a prestigious stage production. A very respectful stage production, and that kind of helped heal her reputation, at least for the time being. She also met and then married a wealthy arms manufacturer named Fritz Mandl, who was 14 years older than she was so she was 19. He was 33. According to interviews. Several historians have suggested that Lamar liked the thought. Of being an influential man's wife. She found that idea appealing, but she soon found Mandel to be controlling and domineering. He was also supplying weapons to Germany, which meant he was weaponizing the Nazi party. This was early in the history of the Nazi party in Germany, Hitler would not become pure until August. 2nd 1934 Mandel, though Jewish was seen as incredibly important for Germany's plans, And while Hitler probably never visited Mandel's a state personally because he would not want to be Captured on film as associating with someone who was Jewish. It is true that Mussolini was a houseguest of Mandel's. Fritz was reportedly a very jealous man constantly suspecting heavy Lamar S suspecting his wife of infidelity, and he tried to buy up all the prints of the film Ecstasy in order to suppress the movie. He didn't want other people seeing his wife nude on film. But really, that just gave the filmmakers more incentive to make more prince of the negative because he kept on buying them. So there was a ready made audience, even if it was just of one person. He spent more than a couple $100,000 buying up Prince of this movie, and they just kept printing up more. And so, finally, he kind of Gave up on that. The two remained married for four years. But by 1937 tensions were running high in Europe and in her household. Hitler had already begun his anti Semitic policies. By that time, though, Mandel was again sort of insulated and protected by his occupation as an armaments manufacturer. But head his father a meal was distraught by what was going on in the world and the stress was really getting to him. He actually would die of a heart attack that year and that devastated heady And he had decided that by this time she had to get away. She was scared. She was angry. She was disgusted by what was happening in Europe and Hitler's campaign against Jewish people. And so one evening, she decided to escape from Mandel's home and flee, and they're different accounts of how she managed this, including some in which she supposedly drugged a maid used some sleeping powder. Mixed in a drink and gave it to the maid, which made her fall unconscious. And then she ended up switching places with the maid dressing in the maid's outfit and then making her escape that night. Whatever method she used, she did flee to England. In England. She had the good fortune to run into Louis B. Mayer, the co founder of MGM Studios, Mayer was touring England looking for European talent who were fleeing the continent. So he was kind of taking advantage of a really bad situation and saying, Hey, if things are too hot here, you should come to America signed with me become an actor in my studio, and I'll give you a living. So he offered Lamar the princely sum of $125 per week if she would sign on to a studio now, quick word about this. From the 19 twenties. Until about the 19 sixties, movie studios had sort of a death grip on film stars and directors and movie theaters. Talent would sign contracts with a specific movie studio, and that would guarantee a certain number of films or pictures. Or that studio and they would be locked in. They could not make movies for competing studios unless there was an agreement between the two studios in some sort of exchange, so the studios also would own chains of theaters and they would have their own films shown in those theaters and not their competitors Films. There were some independent theater owners in the United States at that time. But the movie studios would also end up leveraging their power over those independent outlets as well. What they would do is something called a a block booking deal..

"Lyndon Johnson put a senator from Alabama who was known as the South's fastest talker in the providers chair to make sure he could. You know when, when the bill arrives, have to read a bunch of stuff in it takes a minute or two. So to compress the time they made sure they had their fastest talker from the South, which is you know how fast that actually is. But S O Douglas, the Illinois a liberal, burst into the chamber on the senator in the chair just looks up and says Senator Douglas. You know, we operate in accordance with the time honored procedures of the Senate here. And Douglas slinks off the floor. He goes to the elevator back this back when they still had to call the elevator. The elevator operator, he calls the elevator and he mutters to Anade. Let's just pretend I'm a senator. Mm hmm. So eventually we get to the point where you described it as the sanitized filibuster. It's no longer quite so interlinked with civil rights legislation or what? What happened to get us to that point? And what effect does it have? That the filibuster is no longer sort of tainted by this, So I'll start there, actually, so the effect is The filibuster today is far more powerful, and also much more user friendly than it ever has before. It's a dangerous combination. You know, we talked before about the motivation it took to wage a filibuster because it took a lot of effort you had you had to coordinate. You know, you could just be one person. They're famous filibusters, you know, But even those air 13 hours long, which means your way today, and they're over to really launch a filibuster. You have to coordinate among, you know a dozen or more senators to keep going around the clock. And, you know, stall it for weeks or months to force the other side to prevail. So you know it was only civil rights that they made. The Southerners have enough passion for the oppression of black Americans that they're able to do it. What we have now is Filibuster where any single senator can send an email to the cloak room, which is sort of the nerve center of each party on the Senate floor, letting them know that they have an objection to the bill. What that single email it could be a hallway conversation could be a phone call. All you have to do is register an objection from one senator's office. Once that's done. The fresh hold for passage of a bill goes from the simple majority. Where the rules technically still state. It is today, um, a supermajority because that objection places this procedural hurdle called culture. In front of that final passage vote, which is still the majority. Most bills cannot clear that hurdle, so they fail and they never get to that final passage vote. How we got from a to B how we got from the Jimmy Stewart talking filibuster to this silent but deadly version of the filibuster is a complicated story. It starts in 1917 win in order to End filibusters A rules introduced called Rule 22 that put this super majority hurdle on the books for the first time. So this was the first time in Senate history that Supermajority hurdle for regular legislation had ever existed prior to that, it only existed for things like impeachment on constitutional amendments. So the irony is that when they created it in 1917, the explicit purpose of this rule was to be able to end debate and move to that simple majority vote. It was put on the books in response to a progressive filibuster and antiwar filibuster against President Wilson's effort to arm American merchant ships by a senator named Fighting Bob LaFollette of Wisconsin fighting..

Aviation Week's Check 6 Podcast
Amy Spowart, Head Of The National Aviation Hall Of Fame
"Many years especially when right field was more impactful when the foundations of today's age were taking off so much research with here at Afrl, and there's all kinds of research and aerospace research places that are here. It made a lot of sense Scott Crossfield even said to me once amy, you're not a pilot unless you through right field everybody who's anybody flies through right field, and of course, you know in the early days, there were Ayla celebrity who always came on China and it was John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. Who's who I remember? My first enshrinement in nineteen ninety, nine Ted Williams came at Joe Foss. We've had John Travolta Dennis, quaid miles, O'Brien all been and sees it the hall of fame event but I would say following the economic downturn of two thousand nine and companies started to pull out of the Dayton area. It was harder to get that kind of support. So while the city of Dayton wholeheartedly loves having the hall of fame here we also Need people who can sponsor because we receive no federal state or local funding at all whatsoever. So we have to depend on aerospace aviation companies industry to support US and in Trimbe it was a big help us getting brand recognition. It's never been moneymaker. It's part of our mission to memorialize. So we need people to support our education and support are learning center through sponsorship. So what we decided to do in two thousand seventeen is actually take quote unquote. Show on the road, the Oscar night of aviation left Dayton and we went to Dallas first, and then we went to DC in twenty, eighteen and Denver and twenty nineteen than we were supposed to have a homecoming here in twenty twenty. But of course, the this year has been postponed until two thousand, twenty one we're working on getting is back to the National Aviation Hall of fame in Dayton use an abbreviation there a F- on the Air Force research. Lab. So. Here Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Employees. I think it's twenty to thirty thousand people in. Southwest Ohio, and only about less than half of those are active military. So there's a lot of research scientists here, and that's where the United States air force does all their most important research everything from what they're going to build aircraft out of to what their munitions do and Jet Propulsion. It's all located here in Dayton at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Still is very much a hub of aerospace activity. especially from the military and. Speaking of which there are signs that the or the appeal of aerospace is not resonating with the youngest generation do you sense that and if so is the hall responding in some way? It's hard because it's just like covert. The company's nonprofits that survive cove. It are the ones who are going to adapt and react to the situation with kids with this next generation they're not so much looking up lake weeded or the generation before me did Neil Armstrong stood in one place and what's fair to the sky and we all know the Wright brothers played with a little plastic helicopter type thing that inspired them. So we need to appeal to kids in. What interest them? So that might be if they're interested in the environment, they WANNA make less noise from aircraft. They want less jet fumes from cargo plane. That kind of thing we have to say, why not you? Why don't you figure that out? It makes me think of enshrining clap Myra who wanted a safer jet plane. So he thought about it and thought about it and he Allen Clapp mark came up with this idea of putting a parachute on the top of. A plane and everyone's like that's not gonNA work except the vision jet is pretty remarkable. So what we need to do is have kids interact or read about or they have to know who Bill Mayer is, and it isn't just Alan Shepherd. It isn't just the astronauts it isn't just the inventors it's all the Chinese and they can inspire kids more than just an aviation. It could be designed it to be dreamers that could be artists, but if we all have. Heroes. That's what gets kids going and if we give them a problem like make less noisy aircraft or might be a kid who's a Gamer and they sit on the computer all day, they're actually going to be fantastic drone pilots. We just have to recognize what they're doing and adapt to it.
Monocle 24: The Briefing
How Europe is responding to the coronavirus pandemic
"Want to start really by having a look at what is happening in this part of the world and certainly how countries In and around a Middle Europa at handled covid nineteen as pandemic some economic powerhouses. The United States of course the UK have had a bit of a miserable time. You could say but Germany and Switzerland are getting back on their feet and even in the last hour or so here in Zurich. We heard the country's main aviation hub of the national carrier. Swiss have outlined an incredibly aggressive relaunch plan. Of course if we go north to the border in Germany LUFTHANSA'S HOPING TO INC. It's bailout package to do a bit of the same well for more on this. I'm joined here in Zurich Rob Cox regular with us. When is the global editor of Reuters breaking views and on the line from start in south western Germany on a Rosenberg as also the line and she is head of Europe and the UK at the political consultancy Sigme Global? Welcome to both of you rob. I wanted to start. Do you think something is up? Maybe in this country I think also we look to Australia and certainly Germany as well as everyone starting to behave as a bit of a block at a time when everyone is supposed to be yes nice nice role in together are we moving into a period where people are maybe trying to score a few points. Released position themselves That look we are open for business. And we're moving ahead here. We're kind of in this competitive de Lockdown Mode. Where everybody you know? Calm countries like Switzerland which WanNa score high on the the Doing Business World business indicators and things like that and I think they have something like thirteen hundred. Us companies alone. That have offices or something here so everybody is trying to kind of to ease the ease travel. Do it in the right way. But also the same time to showcase that they've done a good job or a decent job of of battling pandemic of ensuring that their citizens have safe that that and doing it in a sort of you know an intelligent way And in some ways opening opening up the borders as a way to show that off now I think they're quite conservative. You saw you saw. The Federal Council was saying yesterday and in other countries. You know there are still this tension between the politicians as it were and the health professionals at still going on. We're still going to see that for quite some time. But there's definitely a sense of like like let's get moving again But the the the big issue though is you can't just apply what the Swiss do or the Austrians due to say London or Dublin or Perez and I think so. The worry is a little bit like we have these fights over tax policy right That you have this sort of race to the bottom in some ways and I think that's it's one has to be quite careful. So if the Swiss open up or the Germans and people say Look Frankfurt's open for business in Syracuse. Open for business. The worry is that these other guys. I don't know or London that engage a well. We better do it quickly. Problem is that there's no one size fits all for battling this pandemic Rosenberg. When you look from your side of the border but maybe across to Austria and Switzerland do you feel that may be an of course? Federal Council Minister over in Vienna yesterday front from Switzerland. Do you feel that the dock nations are starting to to get work in a bit of unison? Work as Mitteleuropa to say that we can together be the the engine that we can point direction. We know that this is a time of of not great central leadership. I'm not sure if there's really a cross border collaboration as as that. I think it's more happening more here. Is that individual states within Germany. I using this as an opportunity to profile themselves when you look at pandemics throughout history typically they benefit smaller entities smaller countries smallest state smaller city states. And exactly the same has happened in this pandemic and Jimmy Away is positioned the way is positioned also because of its highly federalized decentralized system which means you have sixteen individual states that can make their own lockdown and opening up decisions and these decisions currently being made. They're all over the place and I would say there's kind of a rather than we're in this together. I would say there's a little bit of a rivalry at the moment towards who can open up. Fossa who is more concerned with the health of individuals citizens than the others? So it's still pretty much an looking inwards would say Germany. Do you think that some of that also ladder is up though? I mean whether it's whether you're talking about Bio You're talking about no Don Volya that obviously people who are sitting at the Foreign Ministry in Berlin. There were trying to figure out. How do they put this into a concerted message Which they can put across globally? I get the sense. is certainly in Switzerland while the Swiss like to talk about being humble and they don't WanNa talk about having had a good pandemic you do get the sense here that they are trying to. Of course push their message. This is a country that is going to be open for business. If you need to come to Europe And hopefully do need to come to Europe to have a meeting. Then maybe you might consider coming here. I and I'm wondering if Berlin regardless of what it's doing with a federal structure with the states are doing they're trying to have some kind of unified message or no yes. Of course ultimately there's a lot of coordination still trying to be made on on the national level. Am I do think that Germany has certainly benefited from this Kobe crisis? It has turned a crisis into an opportunity and for a variety of reasons and I think Germany ultimately when you look at where Jimmy Stewart's just before the Kobe crisis it wasn't quite a weak economic position that was stagnation that was not enough of investment. Going on into key sectors of the economy that was all these arguments about stepping up fiscal stimulus and spending and constant pushback from the government that wanted to stick to strict fiscal prudence. All of this is different now. The government is saving business left right and center splashing out it's investing and the economy. The Gym Mindset has changed to away from Frisco prudence that was evidenced of course the supporting joint debt with other European nations. And so in a way. Jimmy's kind of taken an advantage from Kobe. In repositioning itself. And I think if you ask me what does Jiminy and the EU stand in one. Two years down the line. I think Germany will clear when I hear on that we just before we went on air we were talking and you just touched on Dublin Dublin. Of course as as essential in Europe which has done very very well at tech. But we're now in a moment right now we're of course. Companies are more mobile than ever. And certainly when you look at some of those players who are who are in Dublin. Of course their headquarters being On on the. Us West Coast yet. There is mobility They move around the going to look of course for the best tax breaks That are out there. Is this also time and again I mean. Certainly you see the power of the money that various spends on go and put your headquarters or least your your regional or European headquarters in Munich. For example do you see this kind of acceleration? Absolutely the ease of doing business index. This is this is going to be part of it. Everyone's going to look at how you did it during this crisis And I think and how quickly you were able to come out of it and I think come. Countries like like Switzerland Like some of the Nordic countries that have have done a pretty good job a relatively good job relative to France or the UK or Spain or Italy are so they're going to have a better pitch to make an a country like Ireland. Which is you know punches. Well above its weight when it comes to global headquarters for I say European headquarters for many of these TECH COMPANIES. The facebooks and people like that that is also

Director Joe Talbot on 'The Last Black Man in San Francisco'
"We're going to hear from the Director and Star of another brick shortlist her the last black man in San Francisco. This is directed by first time feature filmmaker maker Joe Talbot and it tells the story of Jimmy. A young man with dreams of reclaiming a large Victorian House in the heart of the city that he spent some time living in when he was a child. It's a home that his grandfather built. Jimmy's played by Jimmy fails in his first film role and fails was a childhood friend of Talbot's so this film story is very much fails story. He shares a writing credit with Talbot on the movie. The last black man in San Francisco debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Where Talbot won the Festival's best dramatic directing award along with a special creative collaboration award that he shared with fails? The movie played in limited release over the summer. And here's here's my conversation with Joe. Talbot Jimmy Fails so Jimmy. This is your story. You play a character with your name and the House and family elements Sir rooted in your actual experience and you guys were friends going back to your teenage years Is that right. I'm curious about how both of you on. This film approached the truth. And I don't mean so much you know what lines up with reality what events actually happened or not but how you each felt about taking your individual experiences this is and meshing those together and then translating them to the screen into something that is ultimately a fictionalized version of of Jimmy Story. Much sure I mean I think it's I think this story you know when it first the story that inspired everything. which is you know the story of the House of my family story? I think Once people reached out and We're we're telling us how much they related to that. I think that sort of helped the story get more and more developed Jimmy's referring into that as early on we knew you know this was going to be a hard thing to make a feature film. We've never done it before I'm a high school dropout. He's he's only ever start on my movies so we shot a concept trailer which was essentially him skating through the city telling the story of his grandfather. That had inspired the film Tom and so when we put it online not really expecting much are knowing what could happen. We started getting these emails from people who are saying These same things are happening in my city. And some of those people actually in the bay area and so we kinda banded together in what felt like the last group of artists in San Francisco and together. We developed it Over you know a few years And I think through that process. I mean everything that we've done that we've made including with my brother Nat. We made movies growing up. It always came from some true story. Sorry and then through our sort of conversations and our collective imagination grew into something else but we tried to keep the core of what was interesting about it to begin with what had made us want to make it even if characters change situations did. They often came from things that that we had seen. So I think that you know Jimmy says sometimes but I think it's true it's like we wanted to make it feel emotionally true. No matter how Dri Mike the worldwide the part that really resonated with me I grew up in a small town in Iowa and moved Chicago about sixteen years ago. But the part that really resonated with me was Jimmy's attachment. Your tach meant to the House that kind of sense of attornal ownership over this I think about the first house I lived in as a kid and lived in through junior high. I still romanticize it completely. If I'm back in town I drive by it every time I go there. If I had the means I'd I'd buy it. Just leave it sit empty like two times a year that I could go. Oh hang out and it'd be the worst summer home of all but it's something I would do if I absolutely could my dad I think about. He had a guitar when I was a kid and a motorcycle that now that he's this past if I could get my hands on those I of course I'd give anything to do that and I'm just I guess I'm kind of curious about that and and your relationship to that idea of of ownership over those things things and why we sort of as as humans. I guess just inherently romanticize objects and things like that. I think I've got a question for you if that's okay order. What is that house because you would want him back? What does it represent for you? Why would you want it back? Yeah I've thought about this a lot and a lot about in relation to this film and I think it is. It's more than just it being something from your past that you romanticize when you romanticize it because it's a time from your past when things were more stable able exactly we'll so yeah exactly the house represents for me represents family represents ownership. You know I've never owned anything to that. You know on their own a house. I'm twenty four so you know but I think that's what it represented and that's what that was my only tied to the city that made me felt like I belonged. I guess because it doesn't feel like I belong to that much anymore So he eh anything give. It's like everyone has some longing for something from their childhood. You know whether it's it's as big as a home and like Jimi cases place where your whole family was before they weren't anymore you know and you have memories of what that felt like or for us collectively like the city. You know there was a city that we grew up in and I think that was sort of one of the first things we talked about. As we became close friends was like what that city felt like. it's a hard thing to try and describe. Its amorphous sort of feeling of like sometimes you can distill instill it in like a certain interaction. You have walking down the street with someone that leaves you feeling a certain kind of warmth or a bakery that you we went to and the smells of that place You know collectively. I think those experiences are what make the San Francisco that we grew up and and as that city feels farther and farther away and that regional culture of you know all the things that Field San Francisco is You know the threat of being lost. I think it's it's part of where this movie came out of was as working through those feelings and also so almost wind to capture that city before it's totally gone. Yeah yeah and that feeling and that amorphous quality you talked about you definitely succeed in capturing and translating is leading to the screen. I maybe you just kind of answered it. But I'm curious about how you did manage to mix that sort of tone and that style style of of realism at time certainly but also surrealism and fantasy and whether or not. That's something that absolutely was crucial to telling this story. And The San Francisco story versus whatever next film. You guys might make together right. Is it going to be similar at all in style talking about hypothetical but is it something that would be similar or would it or or was it just the perfect tone and style for this think San Francisco Kinda feels real and surreal at times. We're products of that. So that's that's what comes through in our storytelling. I feel like you know Kinda was always. It wasn't something like we thought needed to feel like a dream but it just it does kind of feel that way at times because because the way that you you know you feel nostalgic for the place that you're from is kind of dreamlike it's like nostalgia is kind of like dreaming in a sense right. Yeah because you you know you always remember it in a certain way so I think that just you know. Did you speak star with Stewart showing. I don't know if joe was it. Was it more sort of where their actual the tactics that you took approaches to that to to make that To give that feeling is viewers or was it more kind of instinctual as Jimmy suggested I think some of it's instinctual. Is You doing it. You following your gut as to what had to capture the feeling of what Jimmy said. San Francisco feels like but but I think there are certain like nostalgia that is baked into San Francisco's history. You know that does feel specific to that place You read stories of Mark Twain. Like believe in the eighteen seventies going. Oh Gosh nothing like the eighteen sixties has gone to the dogs. This was such a fun town in the eighteen sixties. There's there's a line that similar in Vertigo where character sister Jimmy Stewart. San Francisco's not what it was and so there is this longing for time that it came before you or that you you know had maybe I arrived in San Francisco during As the city is changing and yet I also think there are very harsh realities that come with that change. It's not just a looking at the past with rose. Colored glasses were seeing in the very people that define San Francisco that people that fought for the people that have helped create the the city that we love being pushed out. And so it's I don't think that that changes Just a product of being human and and longing for the past and we're really seeing Are are fearing that. We're seeing the destruction of our city. And so you know there are certain ways you think about rendering that Certain light that you WANNA capture and colors Obviously people no one of the magical things about the city is its victorians and so. This film is based surrounded Victorian I think they kind of captured the imagination for people because they're almost palatial you know and they also every Victorian is different from the last they all have unique detailing that make them feel like individuals and I think that's something that we don't see in the newer architecture that's creeping in That feel as Jimmy sometimes has more like shelving they look shoving or boxes. Cardboard boxes So I think some of that's just inherent San
