A highlight from AI Revolution: Economics, Scaling, and Product
"Look, this is the beginning of something amazing because there's no limit. This is right now an inflection point where we're sort of, you know, redefining how we interact with digital information. These are the fastest -growing open source projects. These are the fastest -growing products of some of the fastest -growing companies we've seen in the history of the industry. We for a long time really focused on building our own infrastructure. We have hundreds of thousands of servers. He said, well, I think we can get by with like 500. I said, okay, I think we can find 500K somewhere. And I remember you deadpan saying, dude, I'm talking about $500 million. The internet was the dawn of universally accessible information, and we're now entering the dawn of universally accessible intelligence. The AI revolution is here, but as we collectively try to navigate this game -changing technology, there are still many questions that even the top builders in the world are grappling to answer. And that is why A16Z recently brought together some of the most influential founders from open AI, Anthropic, Character AI, Roblox, and more to an exclusive event called AI Revolution in San Francisco recently. And in today's episode, we share the most important themes from this event, starting with the economics of AI, but we also touch on broad versus specialized models and which ultimately may win, the importance of UX, and also whether we can expect scaling laws to continue. By the way, several founders comment on what they're seeing there, including Noam Shazir, lead author of the preeminent Transformer paper from back in 2017. Now I won't delay us any longer other than saying we've got a lot more coverage of this event coming, including how AI is disrupting everything from games to design, how two important waves in machine learning and genomics are colliding, and what we can expect from the enterprise.

"And that's when I hooked in and again for me that offered an opportunity to engage with a wider you know gang of people who shared the same interests or an epistemological gang however you want to put it all over the world. And that was you know over 20 years ago and I've been doing that. Yeah and just are you is your involvement in that being um more of on a technical side or is it more are you involved as someone who's a practitioner telling other people what you need as a practitioner or have you developed some of the technical knowledge as well? So I'm not a I'm not a I'm not a technologist. I couldn't code my way out of a box that's not that's not my role in it. Of course I wish I could do a little more. I can't but I'm fluent enough to be able to speak with the technologists when they're kind enough to keep it simple for me.My role in this well I had different roles or different connections. I did practice it just as a practitioner. This expanded my ability to to work with people around the world for you know for any for any reason it could be just you know two of my mediation clients but one was away on a trip or it could be you know two divorcing clients only one was on a different continent and gradually it just became a thing unto itself. Why not? Just because we can if it suits parties and it works for them. So parties could be you know next-door neighbors or they could be companies on different sides of the world but they would they would be able to engage through these through these methods. But what I focused on myself among in a world the ODR world that that has technologists and it has others it has technologists it has mediators it has you know people with legal background and foci courts I mean there are all sorts of ways into the world of ODR particularly narratives. My interest was always just that thing I said right at the beginning.

"And I got a job at the Chartered Clark. So I was administering mainly consumer arbitration type disputes. And so it was arbitration really that was the trick starter for me. Although I've never formally become an arbitrator because I don't feel that's what my personality is. My personality is more about mediation and sort of working with people and helping people rather than issuing decisions. So that was 95. And it was only in 2000-ish that the institute started to actually do mediator training. And I was given an option if you want to train to be an arbitrator or a mediator. And me being me, I sort of blagged my way onto both. And I didn't like the arbitration but I loved mediation just straight away. It just felt natural. It felt so I wouldn't say easy but it just felt natural for me to do to follow the process but get on with people and help them to move to somewhere where they can find a solution. And then I moved to CEDA a few years after that and I'm all about mediation. And it was a great place to be if you want to be a mediator. And so yeah mediation has been my own personal sort of way forward into ADR but actually as a business, HuntADR, my business, we do more arbitration than anything else. So I sort of wear the two hats but slightly in a different way because I'm not an arbitrator. I run arbitration services but I also practice as a mediator. So slightly different routes and no legal qualifications whatsoever anywhere down the line. And that's then the amazing thing about this field area or business depending on you know what you call it at any given minute. So many routes into it and so many different ways to practice it. Yeah and I know that one of your passions is ODR. Yes. I was back in around 2001 something like that. I was still at the Institute, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and we launched Europe's first ever online arbitration scheme and it was with Ford Motor Company. And the idea was that Ford wanted people to start buying cars online and not going to the dealership. And because it was an online transaction they needed an online dispute resolution process. We came up with this arbitration scheme which was really good and it got me loads of trips all over the place. Lots of trips to Brussels but lots of other places as well. It got me appointed as the UK's expert on ODR by the British government. If you think back to 2000 2001 nobody was an expert. No but you know if you knew anything you were more expert than anyone else. Yeah I think of all the job titles I've ever had it was probably the most misleading one ever. No expertise at all just literally knew it existed. But that's all it was and you you know you were expert by virtue of being one of the people making it happen. Yeah so how did you get into the ODR side? So there were sort of several things that came together one of which is that I was living in Israel at the time. I'm originally from United States. I moved to Israel when I was young spent a few decades there. And as I studied mediation and got into mediation in some of the broader world of conflict resolution I realized that so much of what was going on in that world was going on outside and beyond Israel's borders. And so a part of this was my desire to find an area of sort of that had a natural proclivity to being done, discussed, you know conceived online. You know by natural tendencies the people who were into ODR were also naturally online for their dispute resolution but also you know more in spirit as well. In addition when back in the in about 2000 or so maybe a little earlier I started familiarizing myself with online communication platforms you know instant messaging of different types of email. And it just it just blew my mind you know thinking ahead and realizing this is where the world is going and this is how this is a new space in which we are going to be we are going to be acting we're going to be striving we're going to be hoping we're going to be everythinging and we're going to be negotiating and mediating and trying to make you know trying to make our plans come true in all sorts of different ways. So we're going to bring all of who we are online and yet it is so different and each medium is so different. And some of these media are really very different from everything we had known before in interpersonal communication. And I was fascinated by how that was going to happen and particularly how we were going to fight and how we were going to make up online. And so as I got into that I discovered you know that that it turned out there was a field that was actually looking at that. Originally I sort of you know I looked at it through communications and I looked at it through I mean through whatever there were only like loose threads leading to it until I found that there was a sub sub sub field called online dispute resolution. It was really just starting to develop you know a lot of it was just people with a with a kooky idea kind of not quite working out of their mom's garage but you know one step ahead of that.

"Hi, I'm Greg Hunt and welcome to No Disputing That. I created this podcast to give you an in-depth look into the world of mediation and arbitration. Each episode I'll be having a conversation with one of the most renowned names in the field, plus some you may not have heard of yet. We'll cover a wide range of topics from ADR to other areas of the law and life in general. So get ready for a unique blend of thought-provoking discussions, plenty of laughter and occasional audio slip-ups. Welcome to episode 20 of No Disputing That, which happens to be the season finale. In this episode I'm speaking with Noam Ebner. Noam is known for his work in the fields of negotiation, conflict resolution and online dispute resolution. He really is a global expert and I've been wanting to save this episode, so it's the last one in the series. It's packed full of really, really good insights from Noam and I hope you enjoy listening to it and I look forward to recording season 2 shortly. Listen to the end and you can hear how to get in touch and if you've got any ideas for season 2, then please let me know. In the meantime, here's Noam. Good afternoon Noam. Hello there, great to see you. How are you? Very good, how are you doing? I'm not too bad, thank you, not too bad. Thanks for popping along and taking part in the show today. How could I refuse? I wanted a proper big name in ADR to finish the series, or as you would call, probably finish the season. And I thought, well, who better than yourself to do that? So I'm really, really chuffed to bits that you've taken the time out today and you're going to be on the show. I'm really, really pleased. I'm practicing letting people say nice things about me without correcting them, but you're stretching it. Well look, in honor of you today, I'm wearing a hoodie with California on it. As close as you can get to my side of the pond. Ooh. I've got a copy of your book. Perfect. Star Wars and Conflict Resolution, there are alternatives to fighting, which I have started and I'm enjoying. You can see I'm currently on page 19, so I'm not massively into it so far, but I am very much enjoying it. And I also found this. My three children are all now adults. One's just left home properly and I've got twins who are 19 and they're just starting their second year at uni. And one of the twins has got this book, which he's left at home. Can you see that? Yes, I can't see the title, but I think it's, is that the ultimate Star Wars timeline? It is, yeah. It's very ultimate. It's quite a hefty volume. You've read it then, have you? I used to have it at home before I had to make decisions of how much I can pack and take away with me. Yeah. Well, I think that's why it's here and not at university in Liverpool. Exactly. Well, look, brilliant to have you on. I just think what I would like to do today is just have a chat, really. No sort of preconceived questions or anything like that. Let's just see how we go. We've not met before, which is unusual for me on the podcast. I've normally met over the last 25 years or so, whoever's on the podcast with me. Although I do think we might have met, but I'm not entirely sure. Did you ever go to see her in London? No. No, no, we didn't. And I think that we've never met. Your name has always been all about the airwaves, not only through your podcast, but through just other ways in which professionals are mentioned and present in our new online place. And how lovely to bring us together. But if we're just going to have a chat and we don't know each other, then it can't all be about me. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, feel free to ask me any questions. Okay. Let's put that rule in place. You can ask me whatever you like. I might not answer it. I might be a political answer, but no, I'm no good at politics, actually. I could never be a politician because I'd just tell the truth and I wouldn't last very long. It's tricky, isn't it? Yeah. Very tricky. Yeah. So would you like to, I mean, you're a well-known name to me. You'll be a well-known name to many people, but for a lot of people listening to this podcast, we get listeners all over the world. They might not know who you are and what you do and what your background is. So that might be a good place for you to start. It's funny. At this moment, I'm a bit tongue-tied because anytime anyone asks me who you are and what you do and where you're from, a dozen answers rush to the forefront and get log-jammed in the mail. And I just wait and see what comes out. So I guess I could start sort of from the technical bottom line of what my day job is. I'm a professor of negotiation and conflict resolution at Creighton University. Creighton University is in Omaha, Nebraska. More or less, if you toss a dart at the United States and hit a bull's-eye, you would more or less hit Creighton University. For those who are not familiar with either Omaha, Nebraska, or any of the 10,000 or more institutions of higher education in the United States. We have a master's program in negotiation and conflict resolution at the university. I played a role in that larger program. Particularly, I played a leadership role in the online program of that master's degree that we set up about 14 years ago. And that's how I connected with Creighton. So I actually connected with Creighton long before I lived in the U.S. and from out of Omaha, it's all been online. So that's sort of part of the what do I do and where I'm from. Professor in Omaha, not from Omaha. Yeah, that's a better explanation than I normally give. My kids, when they're asked what the dad does, they've always said, oh, he goes places and drinks coffee. That's pretty much it. I know. And let me guess that if they're pressed, no, but like, what does he drink coffee about? They'd say something along the lines of what my family says to me. They say, wait, so remind me what it is you do again. I know you're kind of like a lawyer, but not really, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So in addition to being a professor, but not fully there, I'm also a lawyer, but not really. In other words, my professional background is in mediation. I first started practicing over 20 years ago. I was living in Israel at the time. I studied mediation in law school afterwards and immediately knew that this is what I wanted to do. So right after right after law school, I practiced law enough to pay the rent and enough to have a lawyer's license that I could hang on my mom's refrigerator. But essentially, I had decided to go into mediation. And so I trained professionally and more and beyond. And then I just started doing it and have largely been doing it ever since. Is that the route you took? No, mine was slightly different. I started my ADR career when I was 25. I'm not a lawyer. I've never done any legal qualifications. I come from the north of England and I'd moved to the London area because my wife is from down here.

"So we thought this was an extraordinary story outside of the work that I do as a theater director I'm an activist. I worked in New York and immigrant rights organizing circles and now to climate advocacy with an immigration tie in. And so that immediately spoke to the work that I was doing in terms of helping asylum seekers and undocumented folks process through immigration in the United States and Paolo. I know for you the desire to continue deepening your exploration to Filipino and Filipino American stories was really powerful too. And so when we had our first meeting, we said to Jose, we read your book and we think it would make a fantastic musical, can we take a shot at adapting it and he said, you know, other people have approached me about doing that and I said no, but I've seen your work. I've seen the work that you and know him do. I've heard on deciding the world. So he said, go right ahead. Wow. So that is what we are working on right now. Immediately after we open for on time the world, we go into like some intense residency sessions for dear America. And we've been working with some really great artists developing it. Mark de la Cruz is the first Filipino American to play Hamilton on Broadway. And we have been working with him a lot to develop the character of Jose Antonio Vargas on stage. And other really great actors just bringing in material. A big part of musical theater writing is just testing out material and then rewriting it and then rewriting it and then rewriting it again. So that's what we've been doing. Yeah, so that's what's next. Wow, that sounds potent. It is potent. Yeah. Guys, thank you so much. We're at the end of our time. And I want to give our listeners a chance, especially here in Southern California to go to the east west players dot org website. Buy their tickets. You don't have to be there on opening night, but if you do come then, there's going to be a reception afterwards, which I assume is going to have Filipino food. Oh yeah. Yeah, I would be so disappointed if there wasn't. But again, at the David Henry Wong theater, it runs may 11th through June 4th. I know east west players always has like one night where it's like pay what you can. So folks, if money is some kind of issue for you, just go to the website, you can look and they will clearly designate because they don't want to keep anyone from experiencing what's happening there. This is such a gift to all of us. And I can't thank you both enough for your collaboration for the joy you're bringing to this. Clearly, this is a calling because it's hard work. If it wasn't a calling you'd quit. Definitely. Right. But it's all about. You have to feel called to it. It's kind of insane. I can't wait. I mean, I've just heard of maybe 7 songs. You guys have laid out this road map of all these different stories, all these different characters, all these different experiences, and I can't wait, and I can't wait to especially promote it amongst my circles, especially all my Filipino American friends because they know that they have the stories. They know that they have talent. They

"Alan ariano, he was the lead in Felix Darrow, which I orchestrated. And he was posting about Mamma Mia! like crazy on social media. That prompted me to look up east west players and I saw that it's the largest and longest running Asian American theater in the country. I saw the work they do, and I thought to myself, this is a place that I'd love to be at eventually. And it's not just because of east west, but like you said, LA does not only have a sizable Filipino American population. It has the biggest Filipino American population in the United States. And there's something about Filipino American culture in LA that it just weaves in so well with the fabric of the larger community. It's like unmistakable. It's prevalent, it's unmistakable. It really was a dream to bring this to the West Coast, specifically Southern California, specifically LA. And the responses we've been getting have been great. We first brought this to Southern California in 2021. It was a reading in Long Beach. And I had been nervous because I'm like, how will Southern California respond to a work by two guys from New York? True. Who didn't know us? Who didn't know us? But the responses have been amazing apart from east west players. We've gotten so much enthusiasm from Phil M arts. They have been great supporters of the show since 2021. They've also helped connect us with beyond the community. It's just been really exciting and being in the little Tokyo section of town. I love the little Tokyo section of LA. So it's just been really exciting. Any thoughts norm? As Paula said that the Filipino American culture is like LA culture. Yes, anonymous. And so the show really feels like a celebration. It feels like a coming home as much as it is like an arrival for us. Nice. And the way that the cast and the community and the broader team, which includes several Filipino American artists beyond Paolo, the way that they've embraced us in the show and made it their own is extraordinary. Exactly what no one said made it their own. There comes a point in the rehearsal process where I no longer feel that this was my creation or our creation. But it's really the creation of a community of artists. And there are in the Filipino Americans on the team. But in the design team, we also have designers of other AAPI backgrounds who have seen their own stories as immigrants who came here to study and now live here. And it's just been very, very moving and just so rewarding. This week is actually starting my 9th year of doing this podcast. Congratulations. Yeah, so one of my early guests, 9 years ago, is the Filipino American professor who wrote a book Latinos of Asia, and it's all about how the Filipinos are such a different kind of API. We are. Yes, we are. I'm always fascinated when I talk to Filipino Americans to hear, on the one hand, you're part of this broad AAPI umbrella group. On the other hand, you have this unique history you have hundreds of years of Spanish colonization. You're an island in the Pacific, closer to Japan. So I find that even my Filipino American friends here in Southern California know I'm to your point, even though they certainly hugely contribute to what the culture is here. When I tell my Friends, you know, Filipino Americans in California are the largest AAPI population. My non Filipino API friends go, huh? I don't see that. Where are they? Well, one they're in the hospital. But I said, you know, is that because they tend to cluster more? Also, the English facility of so many even Filipino immigrants is so much higher than other AAPI immigrants that they're able to date, Mary work, outside the ethnic enclaves, but I'm kind of curious to hear what you see what you know, you're included in the API. Yes. And at the same time, there's somewhat of a sequestering. There's a unique separation that I think is true geographically, culturally, historically, language wise. I mean, that's true in this whole umbrella thing. But I think that those who are Filipino Americans, they have this Hispanic part to their history and culture too. Yes. Lyrics definitely a song in the show that covers westerners not knowing what to make of Filipino. Like, are you islanders? Are you LatinX? Are you closer to indochinese? Like the Thailand Cambodia Laos Vietnam section. Yeah. One of my favorite numbers in the show is called fiesta state of mind. And I think that that is pretty characteristic of the core of the Filipino psyche. It basically talked about how Filipinos are boundlessly positive and they are able to find the silver linings in everything. And just when you think it's sounding frivolous, it goes into the section that talks about this spirit that we have is actually how we got through 400 years of colonization, poverty, pollution, exploding population. And I think, yeah, it really is that unique mix of the pre colonial indigenous culture mixed with 333 years of Spanish rule and like all the conservatism and the dictatorship. Dictators came later that there was American rule. There was a bit of Japanese rule during the World War II. But that whole mix of religion turning into folk religion, turning into popular culture and very Hollywood ish. It's that strange mix. And that's reflected also in the choreography and the music of the show too. People often ask you what is Filipino music actually sound like and you often say, well, it sounds most of the time like American popular music because

"Stories. I'd love to listen to more of your music. And I think at the time you sent me like four or 5 different songs. I think so, 'cause at the time only 8 songs from the show were written. Okay. Only 8 four written and only 6 of which still exist in the show today. So I was so struck by the songs and I run a small theater company that focuses on international collaborations and telling more global stories. And so I said to Paolo, I'd love to help produce this show and bring it to life. And I'd love to support its development. So we applied to a bunch of different grants and residencies in New York City, and over the course of about 8 or 9 months palo honey songs did you write during that time? So just to give perspective. And the first 5 years of my writing this, I wrote 8 songs in the next 6 months, I wrote 8 more songs. Wow. Yes. It was a tremendous period. And we were coming and we had a reading where we were beginning to piece together the songs into a structure and Paula was just generating new material almost every other day. Originally the structure was just kind of an emotional arc. So we knew that we had some funny songs. We knew we had some sadder songs, some uptempo songs, some slower songs, and it was about finding the right balance because thematically the show contains a lot of different ideas. And so the first time we presented the show in the spring of 2019, 2019. In New York, the kind of overall trajectory was one of moving from a certain degree of apprehension and uncertainty to some optimism and hope for the future with bumps along the way. But there wasn't necessarily kind of a guiding thematic structure. Since then, Paula and I worked together on writing several book versions of the show. So more traditional scripts with scenes and dialog and to Paolo wrote a first draft of that than we wrote a second draft together, which we presented at a workshop at east west players in 2022. In between then, we developed some monologues for some of the characters that we interspersed throughout the show. We felt like audiences really enjoyed the songs individually, but wanted a container wanted a spine for the stories. And we're trying to figure out what the vocabulary for that was. And so my focus was really thinking about how do you create order that feels gentle, it doesn't feel forced, it feels organic and really engaging for the evening. After another reading that we held this past winter. So in December of 2022, Paolo and I felt like the songs are the wings of the show. The music is what elevates these stories and transforms them from just prose into poetry. And so I asked Paolo, what were you doing on your flight from Manila to New York or I guess at that time Mandela to Boston? Boston, yeah. Like, how did you spend the flight? Because what we had discovered is the opening number is called one way ticket, and it features 6 Filipinos who are each boarding a flight at ninoy Aquino international airport to go to the United States. And they each tell us what they're worried about and what they're excited about why they're going on this journey with a one way ticket. And that from the beginning was the kind of bookends of the show from there we developed one particular character arc featuring the first character we meet from one way ticket. Her name is Gemma and she's going to be a high school teacher in the United States. So we knew that we wanted to center her experience. She's the perspective through which we see the show and that's something that developed through our conversation. So I ask, Paolo, what were you doing during the flight? And what I was doing during the flight, I was recollecting stories that I had collected. So when I decided to take the leap and resign from corporate work and move to Boston and become a student again, at age 34. Okay. At age 34, I started talking to all my immigrant Friends. Everyone who had come before me and I was asking, what's it like? What should I be afraid of? What should I be excited about? Because I had no idea how well I would do. And even just the fact that I thought I was going to be a music therapist and look where I've ended up. Who knew? There's a lot of uncertainty and especially with such a big shift. So I was asking my friends and I actually blogged about the different stories that my Friends shared with me. How one of my Friends was a doctor and he couldn't find a hospital that he would match with. He had ended up living in a forensic garage, or a friend who had taken an MBA, but he couldn't find someone to sponsor his work Visa and he was ready to head home, but then on Christmas Eve, that's when he gets an email from a big financial company. So I collected these stories and on the flight, my one way ticket flight from Manila to Boston, I just went through those stories just to steal myself for what lay ahead. And that became the central action and structure of the show. Inspired by palo's own experience of really shuffling through these stories. That's what's happening over the course of the show, and that's what audiences experience. Yep. What was the response to your casting call because, you know, there's just a paucity of talented, good singing, Philippines. What is a response? We were floored by how many people submitted. And when we were in LA for the callback process, so that's like the second phase of the audition process where we bring people together, learn actual material from the show, teach them some dances and see how they move. And also the show relies a lot on chemistry and creativity and improv. So Noam actually led games to look at the mix of the people and to see what kind of creative choices they made. And it was just amazing to see this group come together like they became a community very fast and they were very supportive of each other, which you don't see in callbacks because it's a competition. You have a lot. And we had what? 30 people in their 30 people and what was amazing is we really could have cast every single one of them in a different configuration for this show. Totally. It was astonishing to just see actually the breadth of talent that really exists out there and for a lot of these actors who have had again opportunities to be in musicals together, often a king and I are a miss Saigon to really connect in a genuine way on new work. It was so exciting. Yeah. Yeah. There are 30 songs and there are 60 or so characters, some more major than others who appear over the course of the show. So we played lots of improv games. I wanted to see, could these actors actually transform into different characters on the drop of a hat? And so that was really, really fun for everyone.

"And it's also just very healing and very just rewarding for me. I always used to say when I was in the Philippines with this inspirational vocal group, the kick I got out of making music was never the applause or like, oh, you're writing is so awesome. It was always that people would approach me after masses or our concerts and they'd say that song just healed me that song just touched me so much. And it's the same. We have another actor in our cast who said, I've had a career in the theater for 14 years. 14 years, and this is the first Filipino role I've ever played. This is the first show where I feel like my identity, my lived experience, aligns with the work that I'm doing in a genuine way. Another member of the team said that in their first 5 years as a professional in the theater, they only auditioned for miss Saigon and king and I productions. And they've been in a thousand productions or a thousand performances of miss Saigon. And so to have the opportunity to tell stories that are so closely aligned to their experience, whether they are first gen second gen third gen is something else for them. Yeah. Yeah. And as fellow storytellers, you know the truth that the more granular and detailed and specific you get in your stories, the morning universally they appeal. So again, I'm saying as someone who doesn't, as far as I know, according to 23andMe, I don't have one drop of Filipino put in me. Although I know lots of Filipinos will have Chinese blood in them. Okay. I mean, you drew me in, you helped me start to think about my own family's journeys, right? All that kind of stuff. And I just want to tell listeners out there. If you're right at this early part of our conversation, kind of teetering, do I want to go, let me tell you, you're just going to be drawn in, you're going to be inspired, you're going to be motivated, you're going to be moved because of the craft of your storytelling and knowing the way you've directed that. And that particular song, I've listened to it several times and my mother was an immigrant. Just the way you did the different stages of the singer's life and going from just fit in to just stand out, right? To her now first time grandmother is saying, well, you know, what do I have to teach you? And it's just like, no, I mean, it was more than full circle. There were something that bloomed out of that, even in the protagonist's own awareness. And that's just like, wow, that's so thoughtful. And it's just beautifully sung and written. Oh, thank you. Thank you. A lot of these songs were drawn from actual experiences. Not my own experiences, but my community of fellow Filipino immigrants or Friends of Friends or stories I heard. Some of it is semi autobiographical. Of course. I just love being able to take a moment or a line or a situation and just being able to excavate and go into that and what does it say about the people? What does this say about relationships? This is say about their worldview. And to be able to give actors that richness of a character is just so, so, so rewarding, no one talked about actors who have found they can play themselves finally. Yeah. But also with one of the concert stagings we did in New York of this show way back in 2020. It was just so rewarding when after one performance of Filipino lady who I had never met just came up to me. She looked into my eyes and she just said, these are our stories. And that was, oh my God. That was on the flip side of it, polo, right? We've had other audience members whose families come from Nigeria from South Africa from Western Europe, right? From south and Central America, who relate to the stories, because though they are so granular and specific, the underlying themes are really universal. And even people whose families have been in the U.S. for generations. People who are far removed from the immigrant experience, they found things to connect to. Yeah. I had a friend who was listening to the song about the three fathers longing for their children. And he just told me that he was bawling on the subway. He's thinking of his own family who is in St. Louis. Just because of the longing in the music and the lyrics. In terms of what I would say, like audiences should expect the show is structured more like a series of short stories than a novel. So there is one kind of narrative arc that you follow this character Gemma over the course of the evening as she boards a flight, meets all of these different strangers, changes her life and their lives through their interactions and then lands and begins her life in the United States, but within that structure there are many, many, many different stories which are snapshots in the lives of these different characters. And that's a way to capture so many more perspectives and experiences than you might normally get in a traditional music, but with a more standard storyline. If we think about it, it's not a movie, it's more of like a mini series where each episode is a different character. Nice. Yeah. So is that what you added? He wrote all this music, but I'm trying to imagine the script. Because it's one thing to write the songs do all the lyrics. That's overwhelming to me already. How did you come into the picture and did you add this mortar that helped these different bricks? You know, former structure. When I first met Paulo, we connected because I attended a concert of new musical theater writers at Joe's puppet, the public theater. And there were something like 20 different writers presenting new work, and I heard one song that Paolo presented called light of the home, which is about three overseas foreign workers who are living abroad and they have been taught since they were young girls to be lights at the home elang tahanan to their families. They are grappling with the challenge of feeling like they're doing that by being away from their families in order to care for their families be a light of the home. They actually have to go abroad and work overseas. And I was so struck by Paulo's music and lyrics and storytelling I'd never heard these stories on stage before and I was so moved by the harmonies that were reminiscent of similar liturgical music. I reached down and I said, Paolo, I need to hear more of your stories. I'd love to listen to more of your music. And I think at the time you sent me like four or 5 different songs. I think so, 'cause at the time only 8 songs

Habima to Be Owned by Tel Aviv Municipality Following Financial Crisis
"Come to promised cast brought to you on t. v. One the voice of the city that this week announced that it is taking ownership of the national theatre habima and in so doing taking on one hundred million shekels in debt that habima has run up over the past years and in doing all this bringing to a happy conclusion a crisis that we first became aware of a year and a half ago in november twenty nineteen when a man named core case safron sued demanding that the company liquidated its assets and use the proceeds to pay the four million. It owed him for telemarketing services provided to habima by his company. Power dialing at the time the press made saffron out to be a grinch like figure shutting down the world's oldest hebrew theatre for something as unexhausted money filthy lucre. But the fact is you have to do a lot of power dialing. Run up a tab of four million shekels and it's like the old saying goes don't the cold call if you ain't got the windfall. It's the saying. I've heard a lot of people say that anyway. During the hearing it came out that the national theatre was much worse debt than anyone knew so much that that it was like an iceberg and the four million telemarketing chuckles. Were only the small little point. You see above the waterline. Which debt of course only got lots worse during the pandemic and of course the national government has an approved a budget since march twenty eighteen. Meaning that it would be complicated. And maybe even impossible for the treasury and ministry of culture in jerusalem to bail out the theater even if they were of a mind to do it and finally tel aviv mayor room the stepped up and negotiated a deal whereby the theater would become a municipal corporation like the art museum and the land of israel museum in the cinematheque and the camera theater. The director general of habima. A man named noam semel who was hired just over a year ago to steer the national theatre through its financial crisis said quote the tel aviv. Municipality is the mother and father that the bima has never had and quote

Yes we all understand that takes place in the marble six when six. But you kind of get this idea. That squirrel girl's quarter of the marvel universe swell. Its canonical and wallace. Israel's any other part of it it's a little kinder than the rest of it. And the mcu. I think this idea shared universes for larger moviegoing not necessarily comic reading. Public is a lot newer and we have a bit of that. Like authority. Quarter of the mcu is a little more fun than the sword. The dark world corner of the mc. But they're both canonical but it will be.

It all clicked together without breaking other things like squirrel and the punisher can exist in the same comics universe but score a girl and the punisher in the same. Mcu feels like one of those characters doesn't belong with the other in the same way but that's just my opinion. I'd i'd sure no. I hear you know it's a tough atmospheric cell. I feel like that crossover. Let's go badly for one of those characters. it's better to avoid other not only mentioned it like we're punisher. Punisher has met archie in the comics. And i would be fascinated see. Mcu your meat like the tv show character how that would go tall man with riverdale. That would be. That would absolutely incredible totally totally agree there.

Chomsky is a fantastic dog names. He wondered what were the runner up. Option if you if you remember if you had some that were close to beating out noam chomsky or perhaps not close but the name. I initially pitched to my wife and he didn't like it because she didn't want to be shouting it and also it. A long walk for drinking water was that we call the dog doctor. Leonard mccoy because it's a great name star trek character and incidentally we would never call him. Dr lead mcchord. We call him bones for short sh- i don't rightfully so it's not good. It's a it's a short story. It's not a name so chelsea was name we agreed on. I love him. It's a great name for great dog and he does chop it. Works perfectly well. Although i did tell someone in the dog part they ask what chomsky's name what is his name is chomsky and they misheard me and said his name is trotsky and i was like no but great name for a horse horse. I have the name picked out. That's amazing i love it. Yeah there you go there you go. It's like a telephone gave you the name for your your upcoming horse.

There's a sort of Noam Chomsky Field to the foreign policy of the Democrats. Okay. Final question today. Holt, says esteems, Mr Shapiro. I've often heard you speak about the need for building community around churches. The problem is, churches are failing as an institution anyway, particularly they're losing you that an astounding rate for my observations. Young people's questions, catch the churches and all older people off guard. None prepared, so they received poor answers. And people just give up on the church is trying to showing no sign of slowing or stopping What should be done about this. Should we attempt start new churches designed to address the issues of young people and just rebuild on generational lines. Or should we just moved to new area without these issues Well does depend on your area. But absolutely there too many people who are in positions of authority in religious communities who literally do not know how to talk about the issues of the day. It happens all the time and religious communities. Somebody will ask about the religious view, for example, on same sex marriage, and instead of being able to understand or accept or explain natural law. People just get offended. They start citing the Bible. Well, that is not going to convince anybody. It's an honest question. There should be an honest answer that goes simply beyond it says so right here in the good book should actually be able to explain. The moral immoral edict of the good book. In secular terms. I think that's what people are looking for. And religious people should know how to do this. Which means getting a little bit outside their comfort zone. All right, coming up.

She's also a cognitive scientists in a world expert on choking. So given the events of the week, we wanted to get her take. So it is a double, but I are champ from singles. Here's Dominic team. I didn't have time yet to reflect on on this incredible match on the on the win. The Dhamma. Grizzard champion off it's it's unreal to me still and also yesterday. We rent. Straits to the hotel after all the breast. Had some dinner together and then I didn't sleep on seconds so. Was not able to reflect but I guess that's coming the next day's. Going to say I, guess you pulled an all nighter as we say, how do you celebrate a major during lockdown? This is a new one. How do you celebrate when you can't exactly I would have been happening the? Honestly. We had pizza with my team Del Room, and then we were just jailing talking about. Reviews for weeks about the tournament and I think that I, wouldn't have done differently when. Everything was normal because I was shattered dean was as well, and the is coming in the our with a big hole. They wait till you get home. What affect. Do you think it had on?

The Big Picture
The movie of the year is here: Boys State
"Sean Fantasy. And this is the big picture conversation show but the best movie I've seen in twenty twenty. That movie is called boy state. What is boy state? Well, it's a documentary. It is now available on Apple TV plus and I thought it would be appropriate for us to just talk about this film which I think is fascinating and incredible document of life in twenty twenty in many ways. Specifically, the way that we engage with our political system Amanda I wanted to talk to you about it because I know that you like the. Film as well. We're GONNA. Talk a bit about what boy state is the institution, and also what this movie isn't how it captures it but what did you make of it off the top see you saw this movie at Sundance as did our colleague Noam Away and you both raved about it and I didn't get to see that sundance so I caught up with it about six months later with all of the expectation that goes along with you guys being this is the best we've ever seen I was wrapped. This is A. Very documentary that is about each. Summer Camp Robert Graham, and we'll explain the program a bit more. It's Kinda complex. I still have some questions about how boy state the Summer Camp Program works but whatever. And I was just completely in Michigan. It's one of those documentaries where you're like I can't believe you got this on tape and also I can't believe that you've got this on tape and also it speaks so profoundly to the moment in which I'm watching it even though it was filmed during the summer of two, thousand and eighteen. Yell leader in this episode, and you can hear a conversation with me and Amanda mcbain and Jesse Moss the filmmakers behind the movie and they explained a bit about how they captured what you're describing, and there are several moments in this movie that will make you say this is must be scripted. This can't be real. I mean in many ways it seems. Like archetypal narrative, dramatic movie making, but it is very real and boy state. The institution is very real. So what is boy state? It's it is as you say, it's a sort of a summer camp. It's a, it's a summer leadership program I assume you as a as a high achieving young person. You must have been a part of some some programs. Like this I get sent to Arts Camp I. Never did the Politics Camp I did have to go to girl scout camp once even though it wasn't a girl Scout, but this is sponsored by the American Legion and I only really interacted with the American Legion. In that. Sometimes, we had our middle school dances at an American Legion clubhouse. Okay. So the American Legion does sponsor this program they nominate High. School Juniors and they come in the interview and they talk about their idea of the country and patriotism and the idea of public service that means to them, and it's essentially a training program for politicos aspiring Politicos, and that's a fascinating thing growing up I went to basketball camp. I was an aspiring. Professional Basketball player unfortunately I am incredibly slow and can't jump and can't shoot. So that's that was never going to happen for me, and for some people at boys anger, there is a girl state as well. We should say that you know in in most states in this country, they offer this program. There are a lot of people who aspire to kind of public service or at least to get a a sort of a sense of civic duty, which is not necessarily the same thing as public service. And this has been happening since nineteen, thirty seven. And the. There is a long list of famous and accomplished alumni in boys and girls stayed more specifically boy stated won't probably won't surprise people to hear. Just a shortlist of incredibly well known people who participated in this program includes Bill Clinton Dick Cheney. Justice Samuel Alito James Gandolfini my boy. Roger Ebert. Michael Jordan. Tom Cotton. Rush Limbaugh Cory Booker. So you know luminaries or lowlights depending on your point of view of the world. This is quite a quite a list of people there and the program itself is kind of interesting. So essentially, I, feel like we're talking around specifically what it does, but the programs vary by state but in Texas where this movie takes place participants are divided into two groups. The federal and the nationalist and what are the what are these two groups have to do and and how does that set up the Phil Do a lot of things but the film follows the political campaign aspect of boy state and boy state is a week long program in Texas and kind of the climactic event is an election for governor of the state, the boys state of Texas. So these two parties, the federalists in the nationalist, which by the way just already casts a quite a shadow over the whole. The. The documentary because they really they adopt these names as teams, and so they're yelling about being federalists and nationalists and anyway. At they elect. Party chairman's they they kind of do a platform that we should talk about the platform they have primaries and they each eventually select one nominee for the governor's race, and then at the end, there is election and one governor emerges. So you know approximately eleven hundred boys participate in this process, and that means that out of large groups. One two three people have to merge and the reason that this movie happened and the reason that Jesse and Amanda sought to identify a handful of people who'd be significant to the process in the given year that they were shooting is because in two thousand, seventeen Texas boys state legislature voted to secede from the Union and that if that doesn't some American politics in the trump era I don't I don't know what does the fact that it was your teenagers decided they needed to succeed from a program which is already imaginary. Is Perfect, we should note that two thousand seventeen was when the state legislature of Texas successfully voted to see from union. It is apparently a emotion that came up for several years but this time both bodies ratified this action, and of course, that is a an ongoing dialogue in the state of Texas. In the true American experience you know there are many Texans who would like to not be a part of this country maybe not many there but there are certainly some we know that that's the session is an ongoing conversation in some states. Around the country. So the point is, is that boy stayed in many ways reflect the political system or does it? It's I think the nature or nurture question here is essential to this movie and what makes it so fascinating and even when I talk to Amanda and Jesse I, think that they were unwilling to put their thumb on the scale to say what were they felt it lived or died but as I said, this movie is just exceptional and

Cannon. US Oh. Released a statement. He said I'm deeply saddened in a moment. So close to reconciliation that the powers that be misused an important moment for us to grow closer together and learn more about one another. Instead the moment was stolen and hijacked to make an example of an outspoken black man I will not be bullied silenced or continuously oppressed by any organization group or corporation I. AM disappointed that Viacom, does not understand respect the power of the black community.

Ancient DNA Rewrites Dead Sea Scroll History
"The Dead Sea. Scrolls are religious manuscripts. They were written from the third century BC to the first century CE. They were discovered in nineteen forties and fifties in caves along the shore of the Dead Sea and the parchments have been the topic of intense, religious, literary and historical debate, and they also continue to be the subject of scientific analysis including DNA. The idea was to try to match and also be apart. Fragments based on their genetic identity named you based on the animals from which they were made. Were Harvey is a molecular biologist at Tel Aviv. University his team sequence the DNA from bits of scroll dust, almost all disclosed that we samples were perhaps surprisingly found to be made out of sheepskin we found that were made out of cow skin, and that's a big story here for hobbies, colleague Noam Mizrahi from the university's Department of Biblical studies picked up the story. The scrolls he says came from a place called courant. A three days walk from the cultural. Cultural Center of Jerusalem Mizrahi. He explains that the people of Coumarin were an extremist group with apocalyptic predictions who harshly criticized the views of others. Therefore, he says there's been long standing debate about how much the scrolls unearthed from this sect and Ron represented just this factions, views or more general, Jewish thought at the time now the presence of cow skins in a desert region, inhospitable to cattle, his provocative, because it suggests this the cow made scrolls do not reflect. The. Community of Iran, but rather brought from the outside written at the outside and reflect the broader Jewish Society of the fears. That finding is in the Journal cell. Several. Other lines of evidence point to the ancient Coumarin Library, containing a broad diversity of texts, Mizrahi says genetics have added a new dimension to studies, complimenting his analysis of the content and language of the parchments ear I discovered that the material of the scrolls, the very biological material from which the scrolls are made is informative, and as telling in terms of the very questions I was trying to clarify for myself, and for other scoreless. In other words. Sometimes you need the subtext in this case, literally the material under the writing.
COVID-19: What You Need to Know
New York - New Rochelle mayor on the city's coronavirus containment zone
"Weeks ago. A sitting north of Manhattan had one of the first clusters of Kovic. One thousand nine hundred and some drastic measures were taken to stop the spread there in new Rochelle. A one mile containment zone was set up around an entire community and the National Guard was even called into help deliver meals to those who were stuck in isolation the move has had some promising results and joining us. Now is the mayor of new Rochelle Noam Bramson. Thank you for joining us. Mayor Bramson and I want to start by asking you how things are going because new Rochelle was really the first hotspot in the New York area. Where are you now? Well thank you for having me and I think nor shells. Experience does give us some reason for cautious optimism because we were in earliest hotspot. We also implemented early containment measures intended to limit the spread of the virus and preliminary data suggests that that has been somewhat effective Rate Increase in Rochelle seems to be slowing and new. Rochelle is declining as a percentage of positive cases in our region. So all that is is good news but I want to emphasize the caution. The data can be interpreted in lots of different ways beat municipally aggregated information lags behind the positive reports individuals and we are a couple of days behind the facts on the ground. And we know that even the most optimistic scenario and this is still going to be a long and significant CH- challenge so it's entirely premature to celebrate but we are looking for rays of sunshine in the midst of unsettling experience and it is good to know that new Rochelle is confronted at least the early stage in this challenge in seemingly successful wet. Yeah that's very important distinction and it should be noted. You responded very quickly and very aggressively to the first reported cases in your city. Do you think new Rochelle could be a model for other cities your size? They experience a similar burst of of cases. Yes I think so. Look I want to give credit to Governor Cuomo of New York State? They were in the driver seat. Here they identify your early challenge that we got a new Rochelle and prescribed delimitations that were imposed here. But also keep in mind Just a week. After our containment zone was established all restrictions were overtaken and exceeded by statewide limitations. That were even more restricted. So All New York State is at this point of containment zone and The rest of America is not far behind but because we came. I are leading experience. I think is some indicator other communities can expect I also say that Another promising aspect. What's happened in a Rachelle? Is that in the face of overwhelming pressure. Our social infrastructure has remained strong community groups and nonprofit organizations have risen to the occasion. We had an outpouring voluntarism. We've been able to maintain essential services in the context of a radically changed work environment. So all of that suggests that even though this is hard we will be equal to the test. Then we'll be able to come on the other side with a strong and healthy community and can you talk a little bit about if you have any right now. Any plans to reopen so to speak new Rochelle. And what are you hearing from residents there? Well I think everyone a state and everyone in America is eager to resume some form of normal life living with limitations that would imaginable just a few weeks ago. But we don't have any plans in new Rochelle to go on our own and to relax restrictions that are common to the whole. We think it's a Gordon responsible to take direction from the public authorities at the state level and at the county level. Who have the expertise in our in the best position to give guys so? That's the way nor shells approaching this

Don't know what that means. Just because I'm from Maine doesn't mean I fish for things And he saw something in the water the he did not expect. He was five miles off mainland Harrington so H- Harrington's down on the coast. He was five miles off the coast as we say in Maine Rain Down East. Yeah sure. Let's Downey step up and gazed out into the water as fishermen do and what did he see a young deer in the water. The water. How far out five miles what? Yeah a deer. That's that's almost international waters. So was it a spy dear. What Oh you think? He was sent here. Maybe he was swimming toward the shore. He was hid swear swam. I'm from some hostile nation. You think so. Maybe he was just getting closer and we and we grabbed him before he got here. Maybe that's it dear. You're spying activities. Ran On the other hand had a different thought. He thought I'm sure he'd been going from island to island or shore to an island and he couldn't see or got caught in the current or something had happened. He was just going with the flow. He wasn't trying to swim or fight with it. He was just kind of floating. And I'm sure I mean he must have been exhausted He was floating away from the shore out into the open in ocean. And I mean he he must have been out there for hours and hours will. Yeah an hour's five miles from the mainland even if he was island hopping right. That's incredible so the fishermen decided. Obviously they had to snag this dear so they hauled the buck walk into the boat and they saved him. He weighed about one hundred pounds. And there's a picture of him on the back of the fishing boat and they said okay where is it. He laid right down like a dog. He was beat out shaking shivering. I'm sure he was froze. That says November number in the ocean off main so Downey's he laid right down there late down all juries pretty much froze. Britain here looked out over the water and I saw him out there. You just lurking so anyway that dear I love him. That's fantastic. Is that just kind of a little bonus thing that you Through in this episode. Oh I just saw it and I was telling you about but that's not your topic to now. What is is your topic? Oh don't you want to just fawn over the deer and no. I think the buck stops here. Oh aw I just. I'm sorry I get distracted with you looking at me I'll do I You go first though I can do that. Sure and the deer stories nice too because this is this is going to blow right by and you're going to be like wow. That was short for it. But I'll be like Oh but dear story and you're GonNa like Oh that'll make up for it. Sure did work on tobacco that arms. Well even wrote a jingle for it. Yeah that is beautiful and get gross all right so I found a little tidbit the other day. Hey which are my favorite things little tidbits and you can go like hey. Did you know Blood Alah and people go no wet and then you're so that's a tidbit for you and I found it tidbit and I was like I have to learn more about this magic magic being disgusting worms. Okay so flat worms. They are the most simple type of worm and there are about hold onto your butts twenty thousand species of flat worms. The idea that you you introduce the topic of flat worms and then insist we hold onto our butts. That was their pen worms. Sorry Yep so. There are free living types of flat worms which do not live off a host big? Thanks by the way for Dominique for gathering much of this information for me free living types of flat worms can be found in freshwater marine or damp terrestrial environments and most flat worms are free living however some are of heroin. Flame they are ribbon shaped and are flattened. Dorsey eventually not sure I've said that right. There are four major classes of flat worms they have names and roughly eighty percent of all flat. Worms are of the parasitic nick. Type flat worms are grows. That's a little jingle. I just made up. I like it very much like we did at the end where you made it like Well yeah very creamy. The plane Arians live. In freshwater PL- Americans are Hermaphroditic Hermaphrodite Sounds right. They're both Yup and it has a simple brain a nervous system aero like head and two is spots so these dudes have the ability to regenerate. So they're hacked up. They can be like nope new parts new party can't stop me. Can't stop won't stop like the type of Salamander that can regenerate its tail. Yeah that's fascinating. It's also terrifying. But it's something that could lead us to you. Learn about a lot of things. The thing is like they're amazing. Creatures all over the place that can do amazing things and I think it's really neat that we can learn from them mm-hmm however I also don't think we should test on them so I'm torn there even flat worms now don't even the hermaphroditic ones that's implying lying that having both parts makes you less worthy of Noam not playing that at all. I'm just implying worms And I wanted to say hermaphroditic it is. It's fun to say so these guys are scavengers generally or carnivores and they're they're pretty harmless really. They'll they'll just snack on whatever's about but they're not gonNA cling to you and make you their meal most often. Let's talk about everyone's favorite flat worm the tapeworm form. That's not one of mine at all. The tapeworm can get into a person's digestive tract and grow to enormous lengths adult tapeworms can measure more than eighty feet long. That's twenty five meters and they can live as long as thirty years in a host. No no way. That's horrifying beyond all expectations. Recent story about a man from India detailed how he had a six foot tapeworm removed from his innards. And I was okay during most of the the reading about this until they described it. They they used forceps pulled it out of his mouth home Oh Gross I heard a story one time of somebody who had a I don't know how long the tapeworm was but it came out when they were taking a bath. Oh they were just sitting there and they looked down in like this worm was coming out of there but into the TUB. I mean it cutting out is good. Yeah but that bathwater done charm to throw out the tapeworm with the bath. Water do make. How do you make sure the rest of it comes out and it doesn't go back? I don't know you grab it. Are you grab it. I would be tempted to but wh what do you do. I know that like when I was a kid and we would catch earthworms to go fishing. They would you know they'd be out of the whole little bit and you just pinched the worm in the wormwood come out because it needed air or something I don't know would come out anyway. Why would you pinch it? Yeah you just pinched the worm and it would come out of the whole it will. It won't stay underground being pinched. Why I don't know but that's doesn't make any sense you'd think you'd WanNa go back in the whole right but it doesn't work that way with earthworms worms for whatever reason you pinch them and they come out of the whole? Is it the same with where AM I. Don't know I'm I'm putting Griffin's important in this kind of situation as you want together as much information as we can yeah. I don't know if you pinch but worms if they'll come out or not into your tub water this I don't know yet but I think we need to Fundus into study. I bet there's someone listening. Who knows Oh you know there is? There's somebody who has a tub worm degree and will let us know thank you some tapeworms form's attached themselves to the walls of the intestines where they cause irritation or inflammation Sometimes they might just pass through you and and an toodle out And your tub or whatever the thing is like the the tapeworm can get dangerous as it grows and consumes assumes more and more of the host's resources I would think that if there's anything eighty feet long living in urine tests could be dangerous. I don't know that there. There have ever been any Records or recorded instances of eighty foot long tapeworms inside of people But but yeah. I'm curious now and I'm shocked that I didn't look it up. What is the longest tapeworm? That's come out of a person. I found this on the web route. Six feet. Okay Yeah Yeah that's gross that's enough Taller than I am big enough. So the tapeworm has hooks folks and suckers on their head and they use them to attach to the intestinal wall and They they they can travel to other parts of the bodies still being attached to the intestines because the length that they can grow to. So they'll they'll kind of like keep their one hand end on the home base tree tag. was that what I was going for. I don't know hands on base right. They're staying safe in the old innards but awesome another parasitic form of flat. Worm is the fluke and they are characterized by a well-developed digestive system system with a mouth at the interior and one or more suckers surrounding mouth and suckers are generally kept to. It's like I said they are used mostly to keep themselves attached to the to the host. They're not retrieving fluids necessarily through those little title right. Now that's that's they do that through their their mouth at the anterior And that's Yup okay though sometimes With the Fluke They can end up being affected by Chernobyl. And they end up in a sewer. You're and then a longshoreman. fines a half eaten corpse in a sewer system and they have to report that to the FBI and then the FBI comes out out to investigate and they find the fluke man hybrid and You

Inside Trump's isolated days amid Russia fallout
"On Bloomberg radio. I'm Jim Grasso President Trump stunned the world is past Monday during, a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki when he publicly sided, with the former KGB officer. Over his own intelligence communities findings about Russian interference in the twenty sixteen election I, have President Putin he just said. It's not Russia I will say this I don't see any reason why. It would be despite Trump's attempt, at backtracking the next day the fallout remains fierce here. To tell us more is Eli lake a columnist for Bloomberg opinion so what's your reaction to Trump. Siding with Putin over US intelligence agencies On a certain level mind boggling but I don't want to he didn't just side with, Vladimir Putin on the question of Russian meddling in the twentieth sixteen election and for that matter. Warnings of the twenty thousand eighteen election he also into que- or purchase Vladimir Putin equation of a completely unrelated matter which is a former. American could have been, named William Browder who is attempting to. Pressure the Russian government for Justice Former was murdered in two thousand nine in a Russian proven with the American. On forcement apparatus Beveren to hold Russia accountable for packing up leading Democrats and others are just posing fake online personas in order to try to influence the electric and while I certainly can understand why the, president would be frustrated at the. As of yet unproven charge of collusion is often drag up there and he didn't do any of this and that you know the Democrats won't let it. Go he should be able to separate that from. What I think is now incontrovertible fact that Russia hack eating Democrats and then distributed at them. On the internet that is a terrible invasion of privacy of individuals it's. Terrible stepping over the line in terms of meddling in the US election in wild questions certainly try to do the kind of thing before in the Soviet era it wasn't Okay then and out of a now and you know for Trump failure on this. Sort of knowledge even though he tried to walk it back is again. I'd say Mind-boggling you write that he's created another Charlottesville moment, how so Well. Real probably Charlottesville was a moral equivalency between people were protesting a group, of racists in white nationalist came to Charlottesville over confederate statues and then the people demonstrating. Saying cues And when you said there, are very fine people on both sides McMahon of nauseating And I think that it's similar in that on the world stage at Helsinki the president deems almost Elaine The, problem with, the US relationship is found on both sides and that Russia attacked, you sort of indicated that you know we had some blame in that and that is the kind of In, foreign affairs that we associate with, people like Noam Chomsky or rush Rush fringe. Figures for the president of the. United voice to that kind of thing it. Just really the gut check these are not our values for most Americans I. Don't think most Trump's. Supporters what you've been agreeing with any of that so it. Is extraordinarily I have refrained from speculating whether Russia has something on him, I think you explain this in some ways. Because Trump has these conviction, but he wants a better relationship with Russia there are arguments about that but, there is still no, excuse for this kind of moral equivalency between Russia which really right, now you don't have to characterize it a predator state and United States which is the world's most powerful nation that is the anchor of the system of free trade Mitchell I mean..
