Why the Left Hates Clarence Thomas
"ProPublica has a hit piece against clarence Thomas. It's all about tuition payments. This whole thing is super bizarre. So clarence Thomas, being a good Christian, a very devout Catholic, by the way. Fostered his grand nephew Mark taking custody of him and essentially raising him from the age of ten. As part of that, he sent them to hidden Lake academy a boarding school in Georgia. Dallas based Republican donor and a good man Harlan crow paid for two years of tuition at that school and once again, the complaint is that Thomas did not report this as a gift. That's just nonsense. It's well known that Harlan Kron clarence Thomas are very good friends. Harlan Crowe, for anyone that knows this, he's an incredible collector. He loves American history. And he has a friendship with clarence Thomas. Are you not a lot of friends? If you're on the Supreme Court, the only statement Thomas has made is that he and his wife are very close friends with the crows. That's well known. And then his understanding was that he wasn't required to report any of these things. And on both points, he's correct. There's no evidence of any bribery or corruption. But they're coming after him hard. They want criminal investigations. They want indictments. They want the whole thing. Mika brzezinski on payments to clarence Thomas wife because then it somehow involves something around Ginny Thomas. They're going after the entire family, everybody. Play cut one 16. We're going to talk now about the new reporting on payments to the wife of Supreme Court Justice clarence Thomas. Citing documents, it reviewed The Washington Post reports that conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo paid Ginny Thomas tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work, but gave specific instructions that her name be left off the paperwork. The same year the nonprofit judicial education project filed a brief to the Supreme Court challenging a landmark civil rights law aimed at protecting minority voters. That's the real key, isn't it? They don't like how he votes. They don't like his decisions. They don't like his opinions.

Judges Fight Back: Stanford Law Review Discriminates Against Conservative Judges
"I also want to point out they're attacking the federal society and Leonard Leo on a consistent extensive continuing basis and the Stanford meltdown was over a Trump judge conservative judge on a prestigious law school campus and I didn't think it was particularly fair for the judges who said no Stanford law review students need apply to us because it's a wide net, right? It gets federal society members who are themselves the victim. But it is, it is an indication that the judges are aware and they're going to fight back, Molly, and I applaud that, do you? I love that they're fighting back. And I do want to defend judge Ho and the other federal judge who said this, I do think you need to do something intense and that impact more judges should sound the alarm. And that people should know that there are consequences to getting an education from a school that will not teach you some of the foundational principles of being a judge of being a good attorney and that if you don't push back hard, they just won't feel the pressure of the heat to do to do what they need to do.

Why Does Donald Trump Face 34 Charges?
"This is interesting. Charlie, why is it that Donald Trump faces 34 counts that sounds really serious? This is Leonard from Massachusetts. So you can actually intentionally string out an indictment to have more counts. It's called charge stacking. So what's the best way I can give an example of this? Let's just think of a crime that we're all familiar with. Murder arson, or even some more popular ones, right? Like the Alex Murdoch case in South Carolina that received a lot of attention. The crux is murder, right? That's the crux of it. But you could then do a 40 count indictment by expanding all the particular angles of the criminal code that he might have violated, lying under oath, destruction of evidence is a big one, right? Misleading official all sort of procedural and processed stuff. So it makes it seem as if it's a much bigger deal than it really is. And by the way, this is all hearsay and rumor to this point. So they're hearing 34 counts and I guarantee you, 34 counts when we find out next week, and I'm actually just reading this right now. They think it's going to be 34 counts, but it literally is just 34 pieces of paper. It's just one crux of a thing. They're doing this for a PR win. It's purely for public relations. There is no other reason for this other than to try to make it seem it's bigger than it actually is. So it's not that he committed 34 crimes or he has 34 different bodies buried. They always are trying to frame things in the worst light. So here's a good example. If you're accused of fraud and a fraud scheme involved, let's say ten different phone calls. They could charge you for every single phone call. Or for example, they could say that for every check he wrote to Cohen, it is a charge. Now, a good judge will then drop these indictments or he will put them together into one. A good judge will say, okay, you guys are being insane,

Robert Sirico: Government Is Too Stupid
"The story often on the show but it's worth repeating I was running for office one time and I was up in the mountains the only station that came in with C-SPAN and they were covering a speech you were giving and you said something that I really stung in it and it made a lot of sense You said something to the effect of It's not that government's too big folks It's that it's just too stupid In other words it just doesn't have the capability and the depth of knowledge to figure out every human problem And it was just so well said So elaborate on that point Well there are two dimensions to that First it's stupid because it becomes bureaucratized So it removes people who are solving the problems from the problem So the bureaucracy is so far removed from what's going on on the ground that it enacts programs that are stupid It doesn't hit the target but the second point and it's a more complex economic point is that socialism itself the centralized planning that government does Really blocks our ability to know what real issues are It does this because it impedes entrepreneurs from finding out the real cost of things Things like this This is a point made in that beautiful parable you may have heard I pencil that Leonard Reed used to tell that you don't know what the supply and the demand is if you have bureaucrats and regulations and taxes in the middle of it So it's stupid in that sense as well

Georgia Has Never Been Poor in Culture and Spirit
"Home brothers, you got a lot of the stuff back here, but you also get into the old southern raw genre, not necessarily, but Leonard Skynyrd, you get, you know, the Marshall Tucker band. You get Lana rhythm section. I still have memories of Atlanta rhythm section, you know, in the late said, you know, doing champagne jam. I mean champagne jam, yeah. Oh my God, filling up ticks, you know, Georgia Tech stadium back when we're doing those kind of things. And that's just, I think, John, from my perspective, it comes from a culture of sane. And people don't realize this in South Jordan but in north tour as well, that Georgia rural, you know, for many, many years. Atlanta is, of course, blossom, but it is still that people we came from a society that was, we were poor in resources, but not poor in culture and spirit. Exactly. Exactly. And so what we had was is you would have families or people in communities get together and on Friday and Saturday night they would have what we call hooting nannies or they would have people over and everybody would be cooking barbecue and they'd be playing guitar singing or they singing in the church and this is how that culture just developed. It is. I had there are two boys in my paternity, the holder brothers, Gable and wit holder. And they could pick guitars and sing and harmony. It was a true, it was a true southern tradition that they learned from their parents, going to church and all that stuff. And it was so amazing to hear. I remember they did a version of 7 bridges road by the eagles. And I was just left speechless by their ability to play the song and to harmonize at the same time. You know, I have Travis trit on that list too. And he is a hometown favorite because my son's gonna get in the background here. He's interested in the music conversation. But Travis Tritt, a growing up in Marietta, Georgia, post oak tree, you hear stories about Travis's grandfather being a bus driver in that area and I used to get my hair cut at a place called bob's barbershop off the sandy plains road and highway 5 and I never saw him there, but the rumor was that Travis used to go there to get that mullet trimmed up and looking good.

"leonard" Discussed on Native America Calling
"Or Instagram or reach out to us on Twitter at one 8 zero zero 9 9 native. Before we went into our break, we had a caller Nick estes and Nick had a question regarding a broader movement for transparency within the FBI as it relates to the Leonard peltier case. And I know that question was directed specifically at our guest Ruth and Kevin. And we are going to give them a chance to respond. But before we do that, we do have another caller on the line coincidentally former FBI agent, the name is Ed Woods, and he runs the no parole for peltier association. He's listening online. Hello Ed. Hi, how are you? Doing well, Ed, what's your thought? Okay. To get back to mister to Kevin's comments, one quote from him was constitutional violations were open and obvious. Well, if there was one constitutional violation in the belt here case, we wouldn't be having that conversation today. But let's get back to the petition. I would love to see his current petition. I would wonder if he's added in the aiding and abetting issue that he's been beating quite a bit over the past couple of years. The bottom line with aiding and abetting the government's position was that Leonard peltier killed the agents. He was also guilty of aiding and abetting. And Kevin has fought that back. But Leonard penalty or himself has admitted to the aiding and abetting portion of it. In his petition, on February 17th, 2016 is clemency petition to the president and I'll quote this, I did not wake up on that June 26th planning to injure or shoot federal ages. And did not gain anything from participating in the incident end quote. Okay. So the aiding and abetting portion of it is done. The courts have been through this many times, Kevin's statement, I'm looking at a list here of 17 federal judges and 17 pill tier attorneys who have been through this case in unbelievable detail. So you need to tell me that they've all missed constitutional violations against let it belt here or deliberately avoided them. Ed, let me ask you this because obviously you are no parole for peltier association. Your position here is very clear. Is there any information, Ed, any evidence, or any argument that could sway you to change or even soften your stance? Against Leonard peltier, I'm curious.

"Thankless nation we are super excited to introduce you to our next guest. Chris Leonard is going to help us get into the minds of the fed, he's an American investigative journalist, he's an author, Christopher's newest book, is called the lords of easy money. And that's an investigation into this institution we call the Federal Reserve. The subtitle of that book is how the Federal Reserve broke the American economy, manager feels broke right now and of course this is a crypto podcast primarily, but the fed impacts everything. Chris, welcome to bankless. Thanks for having me. So we want to get into the story of the fed. I guess, you know, high level question, though. Is what the fed is doing right now. Is that a new thing? Like, should we be worried? Yeah, we should totally be worried. I mean, that's the undertone. All right, cool. Yeah. Just checking. Yeah. I'm pretty worried about a lot of stuff. And what the fed is doing right now is not normal in any respect. And you know, I don't want to just launch into a soliloquy about it. But I think to answer your question, the core point that people need to know is that between 2010 and 2020, the fed just broke into an entirely new graph. They started doing these experiments with easy money that changed their role in the economy that changed the financial system and really, really deep ways. And again, it just broke the graph of what they've been doing. So they really broke the chart, started in 2010, they've changed the entire landscape of monetary policy. And that's the backdrop for everything they're trying to do right now. So, you know, we're sitting here in late 2022 and the fed is trying to so called Titan, you know, they're trying to hike interest rates and do all this stuff. We'll talk about quantitative tightening to fight inflation. And that sounds pretty normal. That sounds like the job of what the Central Bank does. It hikes rates to fight inflation. But the backdrop is, is that they're doing it in this wildly distorted environment that they themselves have created, which means that they don't really know what's going to happen. They really are like a person feeling their way through a dark room right now. And there's a tremendous amount of volatility and risk sort of underpinning what they're doing. So my headline is, things are the opposite of normal right now. And if there's one party that really has no clue how this is all going to play out, it is the Federal Reserve itself.
Classics for Kids
"leonard" Discussed on Classics for Kids
"Hello, welcome to classics for kids. I'm Naomi Lewin. His grandparents wanted him to be named Lewis, so that's what it says on the birth certificate. But his parents called him Leonard and to his friends, he was always Lenny. Leonard Bernstein was born in 1918 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and grew up in the Boston area. For years, the only music in the house came from a wind up victrola and a radio, both of which Bernstein loved. When he was ten, his aunt Clara gave the family a piano, and he was hooked. It didn't take long before his first piano teacher told his parents they'd have to find another teacher because she couldn't keep up with her pupil. Bernstein's parents were both from Ukraine, where one of his grandfathers was a rabbi. So the Jewish religion was a very important part of Leonard Bernstein's life as he was growing up. He spent a lot of time in Hebrew school at synagogue, and the music he heard there had a big influence on him. Bernstein's father did not want his son to become a musician. Sam Bernstein sold wigs and beauty supplies, and he wanted his oldest son to take over the business. But there was no stopping Leonard Bernstein. He went to Harvard University where he majored in music. There he met conductor Dmitri metropolis, who encouraged him to become a composer. Then Bernstein met composer Aaron Copland, who became a lifelong friend and encouraged him to become a conductor. Throughout his career, Bernstein continued to be a musical triple threat. He played piano conducted and composed. Leonard Bernstein's first steady job was assistant conductor of the New York philharmonic, and that's how he got his big break. Bruno Walter, who was supposed to conduct the New York philharmonic in a live national radio broadcast from Carnegie Hall, got sick. So 25 year old Leonard Bernstein stepped in to conduct and the rest was history. The audience loved him. His picture made the front page of newspapers the next day and his conducting career was launched. Then his composing career took off too. In one year, 1944, Bernstein had his first symphony, ballet, and musical comedy performed. Bernstein was in demand all over the world as a conductor. He was the first American to conduct at the famous la Scala opera house in Milan, Italy, and he had a long association with the Israel philharmonic, but Bernstein is most famous for being the first American to become permanent conductor of a major American orchestra. The New York philharmonic. With the New York philharmonic, Bernstein used television, which was brand new back then to bring classical music to a much wider audience. When a composer writes a piece of what's usually called classical music, he puts down the exact notes that he wants, the exact instruments or voices that he wants to sign those notes. And he also writes down as many directions as he can think of to tell the players or singers everything they need to know about how fast or slow it should go allowed us soft. It should be and millions of other things to help the performers give an exact performance of those notes he thought up. A whole generation of kids and grown-ups learned about music from Bernstein's young people's concerts. Teaching young musicians was very important to Bernstein. He spent his summers at tanglewood, the Berkshire music center in Massachusetts, and he also helped start music festivals in Germany and Japan. Leonard Bernstein refused to put limits on any of his musical interests. He composed the score for the movie on the waterfront, and he wrote some great musical theater. More about Bernstein's musical theater next week. I'm Naomi Lewin. I write classics for kids and produce it with Tim lantern at wgc Cincinnati. Please join me next.

"Like i genuinely like the one thing. We didn't talk about is is the disaster of the oscars does matter though again like returning back to the beginning and i know like know. We had an ice in there. But i forgot that. I wanted to talk about it. Is that like i don't even like. Especially after you know soderbergh oscar ceremony your despite depend emigrating else in. I understood on some level. It was designed to honor the working people in it did to a degree but also made me realize. Is it necessary to even exist outside of an industry event. I it's weird. So i was definitely a kid when i was living in. Western for georgia's a kid who watched the oscars and i think the longer. I've been in the industry the more i actually am. Okay i think they matter. And i think i actually wa- i root for the oscars to be successful. Yes me too i. i love it. I used to love watching all the time on the idea of like once a year. We're gonna come to celebrate the notion of movies and celebrate the people who did a particularly good right. That's a fundamentally good thing. Now how we do it a lot of different conversations around that. There's the oscarssowhite debate. There's the what is the show. Look like i'm personally a fan of let's take really big swings with show. Maybe they miss they miss. Yeah take another big the next year like. What's that look like to you. Though i have no idea or musical number i avoid i. Here's the thing. If i had an answer i would probably reach out to them. And say hey. I think i have an idea here for me. It's like find how it comes down to the same way. I sort of put making movies find talented people and trust them to take a big swing. And hopefully you've chosen the right ones. Sometimes you don't sometimes it doesn't work out but at the end of the day as long as it has this core celebrating great stuff the great people who make it. I can be cool. Do you think that is evolving alongside of where the business should be going. It seems like it may be you when you when you honoring and awarding you know At least something that transcends expectations or the status quo of what the oscars is about. Well i think the question of like what i think is a question about what is merit look like. I think that the oscars for very long time had a relatively narrow view of what a laudable of bull film looked like and i think that that's expanding as the membership of the academy expands. But i think that there have been other moments in the history of the academy where that's happened right. I have to imagine that with the advent of the giant blockbuster. There was a debate around. You know is is a best picture sure right. I think we see that now. Right like our marvel movies movies lately. These debates are ongoing. Well why not. Why not break the oscars. Apart just like the industry's broken apart and have different oscars for different things. I think that there's arguments in favor of many of those approach. Yeah i don't know the answer. Is i do like the idea of the entire community coming together coming together to celebrate exceptional work and watching. And they'll they'll saying yes. I agree with look i remember. I remember i remember. Billy crystal being like rolled out at hannibal. Lecter like i was a kid georgia watching that stuff and get i think again. Perhaps naively probably naively continue remain really hopeful about like the creative talent of some of the people that are doing because i've never had a year but there hasn't been a bunch of times where i've started watching something and ended it by just being like my god. They did that shit. Yeah and i want to watch it again immediately. Right every year where i i. Don't get to see something like underground railroad parasite or like sure. Maybe i'll be like you know. Maybe we should just wrap all this up but as long as like people keep doing stuff that makes me feel and delivers like some level of aw and makes me sort of leave. The movie theater like with new eyes. Yeah you're kinda that simple and you know metoo. It would have been great as i could have felt that way about madison but never worked out that way. Yeah well i mean. I think will mike medicine like you know. It's kind of like once you get the hang of it. you know. the job is what it is see. Grey's anatomy would suggest different. I'm not sure. I think you're probably right but i do know. Obviously you're right because you know doctors like as much as they know they can't seem to know most things. Well everybody's different. Well here's the other thing. I think this is actually why my brother chose emergency. Medicine specifically is that he wanted something where it's like. Yeah you prepare as much as you can but at the end of the day like on the day there's the thing and you do your best and i also think that the end of the day it's kind of life you prepare as much as you can but on the day you're to do a thing if it goes well goes well if it doesn't go well and you're responsible layer maybe deal with that and sometimes it's not going to go on his not your fault and got reckon with that too. Sure it just it depends. What kind of states you wanna live with. Well i try spectra things not going. I would prefer that life and death immediately at least are not the stakes of my individual decisions. Yes i i'm right there with you as talking to.

"Well i would argue. And i think this is true and i think history bears this out. Quality is the best business model right. So you know you. i can't tell you that. Like every fifteen million dollar movie. That i sort of put out that that gets made is going to be successful. But what have we treated. The best of those fifteen million dollar movies like they have potential to make a billion dollars if you marketed them. Well right and try to build a business model around identifying the best things financially supporting them where appropriate and then marketing them to an audience is likely to to receive them. Well so this is the thing that still blows my mind. Yeah so harvard business. School did a study on the blacklist three years ago and they were specifically interested in like. Is there a noticeable economic effect of scripts being on the blacklist and what they found was is that scripture on the annual blacklist or twice as likely to get produced as the scripture around. Hollywood that are not on the blacklist but more notably movies that are made from scripts on the blacklist make ninety percent more in revenue Controlling for other factors movie scripts. That are not. Yeah which basically says hollywood's very good at identifying what scripts are good. They're very bad at figuring out of the scripts that are good which movies to invest in. Yeah right because if you invest in the things that a bunch of people read and love and say god. I wish i could see this as a movie. You might end up making some smaller movies. That are super financially successful and improve the economics for everybody right and also like a you know it seems that this was sort of The beginning maybe not the beginning but it it just seems like it was a diversifying. The way movies are made may not just diversifying movies. That's still an ongoing project. And i know what you mean though. I think yes. It's it's a it's a. It's a the internet facilitated. This the blacklist is one way in which the internet has. Yeah because you know i. I wasn't about to deliver seventy five messages and survey seventy five people before i could just hit. Send an email with seventy five people. Raise the internet facilitator all of this. I think it facilitates the ability to identify talent in places that historically the industry has not historically for you to get put on in hollywood. You had and this is really what happened. When i launched the annual blacklist. I go out and speak as the blacklist guy and people would be like. It's great that you help people that are already in. La who already have reps get the attention. They deserve right. But i wrote. I think is pretty good script. I don't live in l. A. didn't go to the right colleges. How do i get this thing. That i wrote to somebody who can do something with it and the answer. I'm come back and ask people who were sort of more experienced in the industry than me and the answer was entered the nicholl fellowship academy screenwriting competition if placed in the top. One hundred. someone will probably call you or just like you know. Move out to la get a starbucks and like network and hammer out and that's great and there's a long history of sort of that journey being part of like making it in hollywood. Yeah for some people for some people. Yeah and there's a lot of people that that haven't been able to have that experience. But i but i think on the screen writing things specifically it's not like acting or directing if you go into a room by herself and we'll a world into existence that i wanna read or see. I want you to have a chance at a career. You may not have the other skills that are necessary to navigate it but like and by the way it's good for hollywood if there's an infrastructure that allows that i've made this joke and i i think it's actually pretty fair. Yeah you know. Imagine if the nba if the rosters of the nba like only people that like personally knew the owners of the nba teams. Yeah as opposed to like. We're going to go out and find the best basketball players in the country and we're going to compete to like you know own their work right. I think hollywood push things similarly. We see really amazing stuff that none of us are expecting to see that will introduce us to new worlds and new personalities and new characters but frankly as an audience member desperate for that makes sense you know and it sort of alongside of that you you know i. It's there was just an article out. I think yesterday i maybe. The atlantic about how you know. Diversification of writers rooms is not really happening on par with expectation. But it is happening a bit. But i think that alongside of what you're saying and i've talked to this talked about this debris jenkins and talk about it like sort of with sterling harjo. And i'm i'm i. I was one of the bad guys. I mean i had a show on. I've seen and i had five guys five white guys in my writing room. But but i think what you're saying. Is that different points of view. This idea because i hear it from white writers all the time like middle aged guys who are like. I'm just not going to get the work now but it's not because you know the only thing that's changed is we're getting more voices and and frankly well here's the thing i have this weird thing right. We're like i have no problem with world where writers rooms with five white male writers. Don't as long as there are a bunch of writers rooms that are all black women right like sure. So i i don't need i've used as who knows what the shows calling for exactly and so and i don't need don't need myself represented in every piece of art but i do want everybody to be represented by the aggregate of a hall of the art. Sure that makes sense to me. But i think talking mahindra peace and that landing monthly and that was a really good piece and i highly recommend it to anybody who wants to go googling for it because it's changing slowly but not fast enough and i think what we're losing. There's like moral and an end sort of philanthropic diversities important for baba blah. We're also just losing amazing stuff. That could have gotten made right there are. There's amazing talent out there that hasn't even gotten the opportunity to show what they're capable of that we as audience members are losing because the industry is not prioritizing crecy of identifying the best people. They're prioritizing again and the reasons for this the person that is easiest to get to. Who's good enough but it but also the what's dug in is what you were talking about before it's like you can make your way through this weird. You know a maze. Maybe by you know. Here's one option. You know you enter the contest. He get the starbucks job. You go meet people right so that that that wall.

"Measure parents as you become an adult you sort of realize like i definitely couldn't have done any of that like like raising three three three black kids in the deep south while being responsible for the lives of premature babies and being a an a colonel in the army not one of those things that i managed and sort of. I don't know. I have renewed respect for my parents perversely. That's where because i'm kind of going the other way i was. My parents are very very very. Sounds like that. Kind of got things done they. I mean yeah like how many kids three kids well. Yeah i mean me and my younger brother and my younger sister. Um you know my parents and my mom together. My was a teacher really. Yeah and what ca- what year She's got six hundred science at the school that my siblings and i went to get a tuition break. No bowl undertaking. I mean my and my siblings are a lot more impressive than i am. Would they end up. Doing my younger was professional soccer player and the mls and then when he towards achilles tendon he then went medical school and has an emergency room physician in new york. My god have you talked through the pandemic. Yeah i mean. He's very casual about it but no he's like look when he left soccer to sort of pursue medicine it was. I wanna find a team sport where you sort of you prepare and you prepare and you prepare and then you're sort of in it. Yeah and i don't can't really imagine any environment like that with higher stakes than an emergency room during a pandemic as time goes on the exhaustion factor. You n d. I just i. I don't know how one sees that much death. I don't either. I mean i think. I think about this in the context of my father as well as you know sort of working premature babies and i think you i think you sort of trained for it. I think that you know your capacity to deal with those things improves over time. I think it's one of the reasons why our brothers so successful is like so much of his career. Prior to medicine was preparing his body and mind to endure these of really adverse circumstance. And i guess like honestly sadly what. I've realized over the last year or two is that that you know. Death is as common and as not unusual as birth and life than it's an inevitable thing don't you just don't want it to happen to too many people at the same time. I mean overwhelming. Exactly you mean like my little sister is like work on like women's maternal mortality and like works with queer youth and is amazing mother of two kids. So i'm you know do my best. You're the movie guy. i'm doing my best. Do you live with that. Sort of like the idea of living up to And almost sort of selfless kind of noble undertakings of your. I mean look. I think the i think the work we do is similarly aligned. But i think like you know. Do you bend it into that. No i think where where. I'm coming from with the work that i'm doing in movies especially now. I is directionally consistent with the warfare. Doing look the proofs in the pudding you know. It's saving lives man. No and this is the thing i remember. We were to wedding together a couple of years ago and i was telling some nonsense hollywood story and then my brother was like so. What's how's it going for you. And he's like yeah. This guy had a heart attack in the er and like he walked two days later. It was amazing. And i'm like yeah. Your story wins. Yeah let me tell you about the script and maybe for nas kerr exactly. It's like. I literally saved this guy's life yesterday and that was like then quietly sip your good good job let mcnicol. Thanks take care of that for you. But where does where does your Your journey start with that so you knew. You didn't wanna be a doctor but used until college. I went to college thinking that. I was going to sort of be on a sort of sciences track. I was like a math science kid. Really steve urkel really. Yeah i was no glasses. But literally every i was like i was captain of the math team my high school and like i really a twitter thing recently. Someone was like you know. What kind of person were you in high school. And i tagged in front of mine from high school and he was like you would the kind of nerd that topic calculus class at our high school and i was like. Oh i've forgotten about that so you get you get the math thing. I always came very easily. Really yeah i. i couldn't figure it out. I had tap out of chemistry. Algebra was about where i hit the wall. Yeah charm based. I'm not great at an tat out when things started getting very theoretical for me like give its numbers and maybe a few letters were good when you start talking about like multiple multiple dimensions of space. Yeah my brain can't go that far and that basically happened when i got to college so i'm looking around and unlike being good at math and georgia is one thing. The good at math at harvard is a very different thing you were at the top notch. Math narrates these kids. I mean look. We're talking fields medals like you know pioneering making progress in math. Yeah building on history right. That was never going to be so hard. Hit to take it really. In retrospect maybe it should have been weirdly. It wasn't and i think in part. Because i said like it didn't have much of a social life of high school as math. Guy probably wouldn't have in college and this was an opportunity. Yeah okay now. I can sort of like explore these other parts of myself and so i did i the literary magazine. I got involved in politics and that sort of at harm. Yeah and that's where. I got pulled into the river that it that i think brought me to sort of my destination now so you go there as a math major. Yeah but you don't really have to declare for a couple of years there. The core curriculum is same for everybody for a couple of years. Is that how it works. If i remember correctly you can begin to take courses in your major and he thinks you're no you're going. There's some things you should take freshman year right. You don't have to declare believe until your sophomore year and the literary magazine. But not the lampoon novel lampoon never thought of myself as funny and therefore it never even occurred or any of your classmates people. We know like from from comedy films and any other area for sure. I'm not the winking right. Yeah no i mean look the yes. You are with few yeah. No that was there. When i was there like nick. Malice was around. Many emmys have been won by my classmates for now. Would what did you. What were your feelings about. Harvard as a as an institution that somebody was there as a has a black man who is there. I mean i think as a black head come in from west. Central georgia going to harvard. It like it felt like a fantasy it was like they're all and mainly for me. It was about the people. Because you know everyone you need is like interesting in these like absolutely bananas ways right.

You will for his work on. Nypd blue at in two thousand eight. He was the recipient of the aj. Leib would who you mentioned earlier. June in relation to the sweet science which is given by the boxing rights association of america. And he still with us which is brilliant. He's in his nine seasons. Technically claimed claims roy novel in in the john too. You know who recruited Lanna golden its work on nypd blue. It wasn't tell us it was david. Milch he was teaching fat city. He taught fat. Ct as a a set text when he was a professor to an and if listeners don't know davies middle aged the showrunner nypd blue but more famously showrunner of and in my favorite long. Dumber deadwood deadwood. The guy who did was was heavily influenced by fats. Eighty and actually johnny con con. You the link between the two definitely. The you know the sense of two enclosed communities with no way out And the the idiosyncrasies of the people who have to find space within them. That's really what both those things are about. I was also kind of you know the language his just kind of love for that sort of almost shakespearean soliloquy which. I have to say in a gardener. I'm really struck.

Why given fat city with the national book award and was praised by all these people. Why didn't he go. On roy moore. I don't really know my agent seemed to know how these things affect fable. He seemed to feel that. I probably felt i had a follow it with something as good or better that.

Well man's don't muscles and others got steal it all comes out the same and i think that that's a sense of entitlement when he says to later on when he kind of is you know you can depend on me. It's like weird sense of honor the as but he's so unreliable totally overload saying the characters a bit because i think we've been talking about them as it were meeting and let me read the blurb so this is the this is the the the jacket copy on the us first. Addition all context. It's looking better is. It's the great boxing novel. But that's not how it well when it's published it doesn't have that framework around it. So let's see what they said. So the jacket copy starts with this quote. This is the best first novel. I've read in several years abusively balanced piece of work satisfying complex in structure with a spare musical style. A great deal lies beneath the surface of this book. As with all first class fiction the only way to find out what is to read it. So rights frank conroy. The author of stop time in praise of fat city and his statement is typical of the remarkable outpouring of enthusiasm for lenna gaudens extraordinary first novel. A few of the many comments from noted royces who read the novel in advance of publication appear on the back wasting no time directing you there anyway it goes on to say fat city is a novel about the indestructible -bility of hope the anguish and comedy of the human condition. It's hell's the story of two young books as house of stockton california. Any manga and billy telly one in his late teens. The other just turning thirty who seemingly parallel lives intersect for a time set in an ambiance of glittering dreams and drab realities it tells of the to fight struggles to escape the confinements of their existence and of the men and women in their world. Fat city is a novel about the sporting life like no other ever written without melodrama or full zero ix written with the truthfulness that is once painful and beautiful. Fat city won.

Belinda gordon recall billy kelly. I'm gonna ask you both i. I'd never read this book before Had always review. Read this book before. I even heard of that. I had not read it. But i was a. I had watched the film to very impressionable age and that kind of early in my early twenties and for a long time it was. It was one of those touchstone films the site to people. It's okay to make a film is full of sadness and longing and doesn't have clear kind of narrative payoff at the end. So i was really really excited to read the book and i what you felt keep. It certainly certainly didn't disappoint me. I think extraordinary vote. I think one of the interesting thing is i. I read the book. And then as soon as i finished reading the book by film literally. Turn the page over the film. And i think if you've watched the film you have read the book in many ways. They are very very similar. I mean it's a it's a very very true representation isn't it. I've got. I've got things to say about this later. I it's really interesting to. I see the film about oh fifteen years ago. Maybe and so my context of it with no as a boxing film. It was kind of joan. Houston does new. Hollywood early seventies you know. An hollywood veteran takes on the trappings of young filmmakers And i thought the film was just terrific. Terrific film terrific form. I'd never read the book and then when the idea of doing this came about list. I thought that'd be interesting so i read the book and then i watched the film again and i really loved them both. I couldn't choose one or the other as the best version. Yes i will say this. And i'd like to see what think about this. You know the noble gets talked about as the one of the greatest if not the greatest novels ever about boxing on the film gets mentioned as one of the best films about books and and we'll talk about other boxing films.

It pulls her face back and it took off and it took off. And it's just, you know, £5000 car. This is the one he took to the drag strip and it went 152.6. I think in a quarter mile nine seconds. What It's awful. Anyway, Let's go. Do what you might need to go Electric. You know, I'm not gonna elected right now. I'm gonna go like I thought you would be King of the King of the streets. I'll get myself in trouble anyway. Welcome your college folks. You think I should go electric? Let the just let our listeners are friends out there. Tell me, uh, in a way that I should go Electric and Richard, Welcome to the program. Good morning. Hey, I had a great time last Sunday. I know it. I n George seeing you there, and we had a We had a ball just had a good time. No, the flying and everybody condors flying. It was fun. Good to see you will. Same here. I've got a question about the model T Ford. Did they have an automat are Emmanuel Mixture control on that car. Yes was about the steering wheel is under steering column where you could lean it out, and, uh and you could lean it enriching it up. They did have one and it had a spark advance on the other side to start it. And the model T had three peddled it inside. You know the gas pedal brake pedal, clutch pedal and one in the middle of make it go backwards and reverse. I should say you had one. He had a T bucket. I had a T bucket The 22 T bucket. But it had a Chevy Motor was pretty monstrous. It was it was very bad and my understanding is they finally got rid of the manual make sure can control because the average person Would misuse it burn up the inch. Well, we had. It was a joke about on some cars because cars had chokes on them. And you pull the choke out to start them up until the late fifties and sixties, before they came with automatic chokes on cover rated vehicles and therefore, uh, we used to joke about the ladies would have worn a place to hang their purse said they'd pull the choke out and engine would run rough, and it was just Run to rich and but all the cars early had pulled a choke out to started. When it was cold as it warmed up. You kept pushing to choke in the slower slower, so people don't remember those back in the day Cars were hard to drive. They were hard. Given the start. Women couldn't driver where some women probably could. You had a hand crank up. You know, I have a few broken arms. Yeah, broken arms a lot. That's why they had to retard the spark on it, so wouldn't kick back. The way so the timing and then you'd advance it once you got the engine running. What do you think? Richard? Does that answer your question? That sure does. Did you know since you're in the aviation and you teach aviation is that correct people to understand that that is correct. You know, uh, thinking the other day, you know where Humans at summertime. We enjoy ourselves. But summer is an enemy to airplanes to to private airplanes. Well, not necessarily If you do ever if you play the game by the rules, you're OK by the rules. Yes. Yeah. You just make allowances to the depths of the album density altitude. And then we one thing I was thinking about the other day a carb aerator ice icing, actually, on a 80 degree a 90 degree day you can have, uh, ice Develop in your engine has cut the engine off if you had a cooperated engine That's right. And and, uh And, you know, it's just a general rule. If you have a carbonated engine you use, uh, phone card reader heat before. Uh You know, reducing the power? That's correct. So I was just saying So. So in the summer time you have to like Make allowances. Yes, you are a winner number or wonder Now, if you've got a car better, you should always use the car burger. Eat when needed. That's right place in the winner and takes with the density altitude weight in airplane. How many people they say I played care six. But on a hot day, you're lucky to get three and there may be over Gross. If you got three big guys, and then you run out of runway. It's just an enemy and night, Richard says. If you go by the rules is a whole different set of rules in the summertime, So don't pack a few pairs of underwear. Right? Okay, Get out of the bag. You got a quick joke.

"I don't think it's a particular prompt express. Your opinion be angry about certain things in the world so actually i think he's doing fine right now. Leonard thank you win. And i want to commend you. That you get You didn't get mad at dan for asking you the question. That's what we're trying to avoid is is in the moment. I think that's what bothers your family. Is that correct. Leonard is that yes yes. They don't like it. I and in fairness because part of the thing that can say is being honest. And i was about to get mad at your next. That was when the my rage hits about this this kapernick fella this this quarterback sitting on his key sterner instead of standings the flag and the sacrifices we made the next thing i was about to say is look at. Dan bringing his name up. I was about to really launching the dad. Okay well now have to jump in there lennon. 'cause that's what we talked about avoiding didn't do it. But when you bring it up. It's a roundabout way of expressing anger. Towards. let's still not live. Okay okay. that's i understand that. I can work with that because i was going to say. I'm not saying this with anger dan. Dan sat back on his is fat for his whole life. Doing nothing is probably never even picked up a hammer while many sacrifice for him and then he's able to support this quarterback sitting on his keyser giving the american saga middle finger. And then i say this conway. I was going to say dan. I'm ninety one and i would. I would choke you out. What your eyes roll back in your head and then while you're unconscious kick you in the side and there wouldn't be a damn thing you can do about it but now they were speaking in a calm manner. I feel like. I'm not saying that which feels better than it normally would and i ask you a right now. How you sir. How successful do you think you were. Just now the past minute of not expressing your anger towards that how how. I felt like that was a home. Run that that's one of the better exchanges. I've had with this. Dan fellow who who really gets go. Sometimes and i felt like that would really well okay. Well i'm gonna offer up to you. This is this is my observation. That i think you were expressing anger towards dan. I got well. What the hell is this shit. I mean i spoke com. Ten got damage. I kept it real calm. And because i talk about things you can do with coconut victim on this side. My friend that was not and it's loaded subject matter. Let me pull it back. Ok because kuyper. Knicks got a of people divided. How about just showboating baseball players. A guy hits a home run and watches the homerun. How do you feel about that leonard. That's easier sports conversation. It's not great. I'll be honest with you. I don't show voters. I don't care for them. Here's what i like. There was a man by the name. Ted williams and guess what he did he would hit a home run. He wouldn't even tip his cap as he came around the third base line. And you know what happened what. His country called them to go do his duty. He quit but he left baseball. And he's check lanes in korea and the korean war protecting men like me and you know who is wingman. Was john got for less. I band orbit the earth. That was a patriot. And now these guys now flipping their bats. Doing little dances jumping around hugging. Twenty guys like like they've got a risks like of those ferries wound womb healthier ken. I'm in water. Not doing great. A number again leonard. I don't i have no problem when you express your distaste for the way people you know at you can have opinions about things we're just trying to avoid interpersonal conflict. So as so dan. I don't know just explain to you. I'm not really gonna ride leonard if he has opinions. Which makes him angry. We all have that. What we want to do is avoid conflict ten. I'm sensing something. I don't know if it's true but you secretly agree with leonard on some of this stuff is that what's happening here. Are you trying to treat them as a therapist or do you like agree with some of the things he's saying that's not my i try not to get involved with that about his personal pains what i want to help them. Do is have a better experience in his life if he's angry towards people that's not gonna can get a good man. I met him. I found out about them is there is through a local group. I work with called patriots. United under the eagles. And we're it's a great citizens group that wants to fix the lie of this last election and someone told me ten is a heck of a therapist and i don't see what that has to do with anything. He's good at what he does and he's here to help we're trying to do. Is we want to get our point of view across to people and it's important that that we can calmly express the beliefs we have and not distance people through our behavior. Actually listen to the philosophy. And i think what you're doing responsible. I it feels like you agree with him. On kapernick i disagree. I don't disagree. I i believe if you give me an option.

"Yes what was that. I don't understand. I wanna talk to ken for a second to see what it is that we're doing but it was super tenny and we didn't hear the last part of what you said. I don't know what happened. Can can you hear us. yeah. I hear you okay. Ken can you tell us why you're on with us. What is the exercise. I just have a conversation. And not lose his temper and We've been working on some strategies that he can use and he's going to employ these and i think it's gonna go fine okay. So what are we doing here. Leonard helped me help you. I just one of the things that i think scott lost in all of this you. You've you've come at. You'll challenge in some ways. That may be uncomfortable. I felt like they were insults. Ten is told me that no they weren't that Sometimes people can disagree without getting angry. And i i in fact love sports. What the discoveries of this accident of calling you is that I love sports. And i get it. I spoke about this. I said no at first but he he convinced me that a good idea would be. We could just have a simple conversation about sports without me. Losing my temper and this would do a lot of good for my family for restoring my life Right now i'm mr mary alone No one in my family is returning my calls The the the are my post fan won't even speak to me about five days ago. I got into a shouting match by post fan. He won't speak to me The the person who delivers food won't talk to me. Because i didn't like they're smart ass attitude and And i i belong. Frankly i'm alone in a way that i not enjoying and ken tattoo my by all right. This is exactly what we talked about. As we discussed. I think a lot of the problems are that you don't actually deal with your emotions and sitting on those causes you to express the anger. So you're doing now is perfect and you've got all the answers don't you. That's that's not what you want me to do right. I caught myself there. I started to feel like who the hell are you to tell me anything. After the life. I've lived and now i'm catching that's right. That's right 'cause i you know i'm here to help him. I'm not against you. And i wanna help you. Because your anger issues discounts report and causing you some sadness all right and right there made me wanna say oh look at you when mr you tell me how to live my life and i'm not going to do that. I'm gonna realize you're here to help me. And i'm gonna slow it down. That's a big thing dan though it. Down and leonard can make one suggestion please. When you catch yourself just keep that to yourself because when you share that you've caught yourself in a in a sense you're you're still expressing the anger which we want to try to avoid. That can be off putting people. I wanted to say something there and i'm not gonna say it. I'm gonna slow it down but i didn't love your attitude your kind of i. I can tell you who've lived for lifetimes how to live your life. And i wanted to say that but i'm not i guess i it's again all right. Let's sit down. And i won't say that i'm gonna reflect to you leonard. You just do what we discussed not doing. I'm just okay dan. i'm here i'm here. Should i just ask him. Can about like lebron. James just want peaceful sports conversation. Oh boy Not not a fan of his. But all right i can. Is that good. Yeah we all wanna have leonard as we discussed is a simple conversation about sports. 'cause it turns out a dan show. It's something that you'd be interested and there's no reason for you to be in conflict. You probably have a lot more in common than you do. conflict this is tricky for me leonard and ken because i fear i mean can i just ask him anything or do i not want to be mark. I don't wanna have triggers here. He just said he's not a fan. I'll just do it. Why are you not a fan of lebron. James all right. I'm going to slow this down. I don't love how he's always out there like the king of the world and always telling everyone he's gonna win. He's mr big shots back in my day. When you play the game you kept your nose to the grindstone. And you're you're grounded out. There is a man by the name of tommy for the celtics and he just punched in he punched out. He put his work in and they didn't call himself the king and to see him selling sneakers and he just one baby each one. And so when you bring up lebron james. There's a little it gets gets be going a little bit. But i'm gonna i'm gonna catch it. Can that was pretty good. I thought that's fine thin. And that's okay. I mean people have disagreement. they have trouble with athletes. they get angry at teams calls. The coaches make. That's all fine. All right all right then. So yeah i. I i like i. I'm sitting over lebron james. How about how about colin kaepernick. How do you feel about him ca. I can't i can't do this. This is i mean. That's the son of a bitch sat down for the flag guy for i was out there. In the chosin reservoir watching men lead in the second their blood would come out of would freeze solid. And there's big shot smart ass quarterback cups. They're like a jackass that he just. He sits down in fact sits on his push just sits down and puts his middle finger up with the flag. I i hate him. i ate him. He should go and join the red army. Jesus mean ken. This is not what can this is not working well This may surprise. You really what. We're trying to work on. With leonard is is conflict in the moment and since he's not angry at you or conflict with you..

We'll chase you. Listen so sometimes just turning around and surrendering to it and saying okay. Well this is how. I feel right now. I'm gonna lean into this a little bit of. I'm just going to stay in this place. And i'm going to feel exactly what i'm feeling and it's all when you can do that. It's almost like you're metabolising. The emotional you're you're call it the reading the desk and if you can sit with it a little bit usually rim ago will finally listen and it will lift. It will let you lift a little bit. I'm going to do it a second. I'm going to be that voice that you just talked about and then maybe you can respond as what our response would be. Okay okay. i run. So i can't believe this you do this every time you'll never make it. You're not as good as other people. Everybody's getting ahead. European shed and i hate you okay. So they counter to that voice is first of all. I love you. Okay i love you for looking out for me. I know you're kinda mad at me right now but i love that you have my back and you're shaking me and you won't be to just do something and be different. I love that you've you care about me this much. Could that's the first thing that you say to that voice. Does that make sense. Yes a shorthand of that. The short version is probably thanks. Thanks for carrying about me so much. You're mad at me but in order to be mad at you gotta care if you don't care about if you're not you don't care about something you're not going to get mad at like whatever so thanks for. Thanks for caring. But i get it. You care about me anger or anxiety or whatever it is it sounds so ridiculous but if you actually think about it it makes a lot of sense. Can you say the name. Oh there you are again. I've seen you before. I've heard this before from you. Yeah but but it's crazy as it sounds. You actually want to do that with a loving voice. Not oh you again. It's got to be like okay here. You are fighting in love in the way it's going down but i totally get anger or anxiety that you are looking out for me and you love me and actually go towards that feeling. Thanks for carrying anger. Thanks for carrying anxiety. Thanks for carrying about me. Okay and this is what we try to get across. It's a two way conversation. Emotions and thoughts are not a one way conversation. It's a two way conversation. You can talk back to any thought you can talk to any feeling you can't talk back to me because i'm too busy being isolated. So don't even try to reach me.
