"Never gonna run around and turn you never gonna give you up was not only a huge hit for Rick astley in 1987, its popularity has been revived with the rickroll Internet memes. So it's no surprise that rapper young gravy used part of that song in his 2022 breakout hit, Betty get money. We'll never let you down, baby. Did that sound to you like it was Rick astley who is singing? Well, athlete says it's a deliberate and nearly indistinguishable imitation of his voice, and he's suing young gravy for stealing his voice. Joining me is intellectual property litigator, Terrence Ross, a partner at cat and Newton rosenman. So Terry, young gravy, whose real name is Matthew warrey, did get the rights to use the music and lyrics from never gonna give you up. So what's the problem here? So the problem with the legal approach young gravy or his lawyers took, is that they obtained what is known as a mechanical rights license, which is a license with respect to the copyright in the music and the lyrics. What they did not do was obtain a master license, which is a license to the copyright in the actual recording of the song. So they were licensed up to go out and do a cover using the music and lyrics of the 1987 song. But they were not licensed to actually play the 1987 recording. And the mistake arguably made by young gravy is to set out to purposefully imitate the voice of Rick astley from the song never gonna give you up. And that is what this lawsuit is all about. Not about the copyrights, but about what California is known as the violation of the right of publicity for using somebody else's identity. Have you heard this kind of you stole my voice? Claim before? Believe it or not, June, this is not an unusual cause of action in the courts. There are at least two cases I know of in the 9th circuit. There's a 1988 case by Bette Midler. There's a 1992 case by Tom Waits going back further in time, Nancy Sinatra sued Goodyear in 1970 over her these boots are made for walking song. And even further back in time in 1962, Burt lair, the actor who portrayed the cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz and did a lot of other great acting work sued for the use of his voice back in 1962. So believe it or not, this is not the first time someone has dreamed up a cause of action relating to the imitation of someone else's voice. I wonder if young gravy knew what the limbs of the rights he had purchased because he said at one point we had a different singer and instruments, but it was all really close because it makes it easier legally. So I don't know what advice he got from his lawyers. I don't even know to what extent that he consulted his lawyers. The problem proximate lawyers like myself face in this area with artists is that often they don't explain the entirety of the project that they're setting out upon. They will say, oh, I want to do a cover of Rick astley song never going to give you up and don't give you any other information. So I'm not in a position to criticize the lawyers or even criticize young gravy here. The problem with project like this is both the lawyers and the artists and the producers have to sit down and really explore all the possible outcomes and it doesn't seem like that happened here. So does Ashley have a good case? So Jim, we've talked enough about different lawsuits that I'm reluctant to ever say. I know I heard the sign. One party score win or lose or give odds. Reminded of the famous episode back during the Apollo program when Apollo 13 had its disastrous incident and was on the way back to earth. President Nixon called the flight director and asked him what are the chances of these guys getting back alive and demanded that he actually put odds on it. You just can't do that either in space missions or lost it. And so I'm going to refrain from giving you some sort of a set of odds here, maybe Las Vegas can do that for you. But I will say this on its face. This is a colorable claim that Rick astley has bought. On the other side of the ledger, there are some strong defenses to be made here by young gravy and so to a certain extent, this will be an interesting case to follow to see how the court works out, both the strong and interesting cause of action versus some pretty strong defenses. So let's talk about some of the defenses that young gravy may have. So amongst the other defenses are just a straight up sort of First Amendment freedom of speech defense. The 9th circuit has said if use has some sort of informative or cultural, usefulness, then it's immune from this sort of state court challenge, not sure that the informative prong has anything to do with it. But I think an argument could be made that they're using this in purely an entertainment manner. So they're not trying to sell a product using Rick astley saw. And this is a really important distinction here because in the Midler case, Ford Motor Company had used a person imitating her voice to sell Ford cars and she brought a lawsuit and claimed that they couldn't do that that it was a violation of her right of publicity. In the 9th circuit said, yeah, she's right. They are trying to sell a product, a motor car using her iconic and recognizable voice. And so here, this is not being used by young gravy in the sense of trying to sell a product, rather it's entertainment. Most of the successful write up publicity cases come in the context of

"Never gonna let you down never gonna run around and deserve you remember that 1987 hit song, never gonna give you up? Well, singer Rick astley is suing rapper young gravy for imitating his voice at the beginning of his 2022 song Betty get money. The case raises an array of intellectual property issues and here to help us answer them is intellectual property litigator Terrence Ross, a partner at cat and nutrient rosenman. So this is a case where young gravy got the rights to recreate the music and lyrics from never gonna give you up. So what's the problem here? The problem with the legal approach young gravy or his lawyers took is that they obtained what is known as a mechanical rights license, which is a license with respect to the copyright in the music and the lyrics. What they did not do was obtain a master license, which is a license to the copyright in the actual recording of the song. So they were licensed up to go out and do a cover. Using the music and lyrics, the 1987 song, but they were not licensed to actually play the 1987 recording. If you listen to it, it sounds a lot like the original recording, but they had another artist imitating Rick astley, according to the complaint, and they say he intentionally stole Rick astley's voice. Have you heard this kind of a claim before? Believe it or not, you. This is not an unusual cause of action in the courts. There are at least two cases I know of in the 9th circuit, which is the appellate court for California and the rest of the West Coast. There is a 1988 case by Bette Midler, there's a 1992 case by Tom Waits, going back further in time, Nancy Sinatra sued Goodyear in 1970 over her. These boots are made for walking song. And even further back in time 1962, Burt lair, the actor who portrayed the cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, and did a lot of other great acting work. Sued for the use of his voice back in 1962. So believe it or not, this is not the first time someone has dreamed up a cause of action relating to the imitation of someone else's voice. And so just to clarify, if young gravy had just had someone sing the song, not sound like Rick astley, that would have been okay. But the fact that it's an imitation of Ashley's voice and the plaintiffs say was so successful the public believed it was actually Ashley singing. That's the problem. Yes, you have it exactly right June, the issue is in the mistake arguably made by young gravy is to set out to purposefully imitate the voice of Rick astley from the song never gonna give you up. And that is what this lawsuit is all about. Not about the copyrights. But about what California is known as a violation of the right of publicity for using somebody else's identity. I wonder if young raving knew what the limbs of the rights he had purchased was because he said, at one point, we had a different singer and instruments, but it was all really close because it makes it easier legally. So I don't know what advice he got from his lawyers. I don't even know to what extent that he consulted his lawyers. The problem practical lawyers like myself face in this area with artists is that often the entirety of the project that they're setting out upon. They will say, oh, I want to do a cover of Rick astley song never going to give you up. And don't give you any other information.

The problem with the project like this is both the lawyers and the artists and the producers have to sit down and really explore all the possible outcomes and it doesn't seem like that happened here. So does astley have a good case? So Jim, we've talked enough about different losses that I'm reluctant to ever say. I know I heard the sign. One party score win or lose or give odds, I'm reminded of the famous episode back during the Apollo program when Apollo 13 had its disastrous incident and was on the way back to earth.

"Advisers who happen to have television shows. We got these new text messages this week that Sean Hannity sent to the former chief of staff Mark Meadows. He talks about The White House counsel and the text from December 31st, 2020 20 that quote here. We can't, we can't lose the entire White House counsel's office. I do not see January 6th happening the way he is being told. And one year ago on January 5th he sent, this one it says Pence pressure, White House counsel will lead as a former White House counsel who testified against president Nixon. What does Hannity's concerns concern tell you about what was happening around Trump on the eve of the insurrection? Well, it really is a post Watergate kind of reaction. White House counsel typically do not resign. It's a very unusual situation, none have McGahn, Trump's original counsel, threatened at once internally. We learned about it at leaked out because of the Russia investigation. So it's an unusual circumstance that Hannity would know about it shows how deep inside his knowledge is, because we know from Senate testimony, there was one occasion that cipollone his last council was talking about leaving if they put a new attorney general in. This fellow Clark, who was just a mid level assistant attorney general. So this is we couldn't tell from this as to whether it's another one or the same. So clearly Hannity's got a lot of information that could be very valuable to the committee. I'll be surprised if they don't subpoena him. Oh, wow. Right on. Harry, you agree? I do agree now, they'll very carefully tread the First Amendment line. It's a hugely interesting issue because he's really not acting like a reporter here. Well, let me put it this way. They will ask for him to cooperate and they'll make clear 8 ways from Sunday. We're not talking about any journalism. If he then disputes and it goes into the courts, we'll see what will happen. But it is, you know, he will use the shield of journalism, but you know, he isn't a journalist here. He's an insider, and that actually reflects poorly on his journalistic role not to mention his sort of crony role. What a tangle web. Thank you very much. Gentlemen, I appreciate it. Thanks guys. Why the right is trying to recast a woman who died at the capitol on January 6th as the Joan of Arc of the insurrection next, the truth about what happened to Ashley

'The President's Man' Author Dwight Chapin on How Nixon Evolved
"Folks, welcome back, the book is the president's man Dwight Chapin. So you were with him from when you were a very young man to the very end of his life. Did Nixon change in your eyes? Was he a different man shortly before his death than he had been in the presidency in any way? Yes. I believe he changed. I met him when he was first after he had just been vice president and like with anyone. With doctor Kissinger, any of these men, I mean, they are getting older. They are getting that thing called wisdom, wiser, and they are working at a different pace. There's more space in discussions and thinking about things. So president Nixon to me was always the same man, but there was just this shifting and more of a relaxed thing about him. In the days when he's running for office and dealing with the political issues, that calls for basically a different kind of psychic than when you've moved to being an author and you're looking back and reflecting Bill Clinton had an interesting comment. He talked about Nixon's trip to Russia right before Nixon died he went to Russia, and he came back and he wrote this very long memorandum to president Clinton analyzing everything that was going on in Russia. So it was kind of a perspective mentality. So Nixon died and what was 2002 or something like that? And you're saying he went so after the Soviet Union had fallen, he Nixon went back. I didn't remember this. And one of the things he always did was to talk to all of the leaders on the way up that were not necessarily in power. So he never just relied on talking to whoever was running a country. He wanted to talk to the opposition and to the others involved.

And it has to do with the the nixon debacle and the watergate scandal. You met president nixon after he left office. You've got to know him. You wrote a superlative work on the man. Can we start with the basics. How how is it that he has gone down in conventional wisdom as the crook. Tricky dicky win as you have pointed out in your book in latest article and i just summarize it and tell me if i i'm i'm passing you ineffectively. There is no evidence that he actually committed a crime with those payments. You know there never has been and Ever tried because he wasn't well enough to face trial but Or or do you know to go and give evidence at trial. He got a pardon so he wasn't then be tried and sell that The fact is that there isn't it. I haven't the inconvenient fact about this whole Watergate business that Ah it. There is no evidence. Nixon committed a crime. Some people in his entourage that there's no better but they did not allege that mr nixon told them not to basically perjury charges in getting and obstruction of justice but none of them alleged that the nixon told them to do and And and so. The whole thing rests on did his approval of payments to watergate thin than some some of the which did that constitute obstruction of justice and all the closest we have is powered hunt as whereas it just tragically died in a plane crash near the number of young children and nixon said we'll give him give him the money he wants but he didn't say fung as he he's quieter wise under oath or anything like that. He never said anything like that. There's never been one shred of evidence that that's what nixon authorized payments for and he always alleged and there's some of the tapes that the that he specifically said they've got to be able to pay their lawyers and feed their families and so we'll we'll give the money for that.

How have relations between the two nations changed since kissinger's visit in nineteen seventy one. And what is the future of these two superpowers who better to ask than vincent. Knee the guardians china affairs correspondent who presented a documentary on bbc world. Service called when kissinger went to china. I started off by asking him. How nineteen seventy-one meeting came about what to some extent. It was a multi year project. Starting with both sides signaled intention of contact. This was initially conducted a very quietly and in a very subtle way beginning with the us. Calling china it's proper name at people's republic of china instead of red china or communist china and in beijing mao also wants to get in touch with richard nixon and his administration so they stay on the media's began to reduce the use of blessed capitalists. The things like this a eventually president. Nixon told pakistani president. Y'all calm and yao coundon tote chairman mao. That's the americans was serious. So that was the beginning of this contact. At in retrospect it was a very practical way of changing the course of the cold war. If you think about in the ninety sixties seventies when richard nixon came to power in ninety sixty eight vietnam. War was still a huge controversy in the us. Adding china around ninety sixty nine. There was a border war between china and the soviet union and around around autumn nineteen. Sixty nine It was rumored that's soviet union wants to to plan a pre emptive strike on china's so chairman mao at the time was really looking for a way out of this. And of course you know for nixon.

Georgia prosecutor investigating Trump's call to Raffensperger
"In addition to the events of january sixth. The article mentioned just one other specific event quote president. Trump's conduct on january six twenty twenty one followed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the results of the twenty twenty presidential election. Those prior efforts included a phone call on january second during which president trump urged the secretary of state of georgia. Brad ravensburger to find enough votes. To overturn georgia presidential election results. President trump threatened secretary burger if he failed to do so. I know that that thing in georgia that little episode of attempted election interference by donald trump has been swallowed up by history already. This phone call was eclipsed by the violent attack on the us capitol just four days later. It's like how the resignation of vice president. Spiro agnew got swallowed up in history because watergate forced the resignation of president nixon right after it and so when i wrote a podcast and wrote a book about spiro. Agnew people are like. Who's that guy. He wouldn't believe what a big scandal that was for a minute until a much bigger scandal eclipsed it and made us all forget the earlier one when really really life changing terrible thing happens. It tends to blot out the memory of other really bad stuff. That might have happened just before this and so it is with this georgia call. But there's a reason that this georgia called this january second phone call is the one other specific event that the author author the impeachment resolution decided to include in their charges against former president trump. Because it's because before the january sixth violent attack on the us capitol members of congress. Were already considering a second impeachment of president trump just for that goal because at that point before island attack on the us capitol. His hour-long phone call to georgia secretary of state pushing and threatening george official to try to get the election results overturned there before the attack on the capital that was president trump's most egregious and blatant act of trying to apparently criminally alter and mess with the election results to try to hold onto power. And he not only did it. It was all on tape. So what are we going to do here. But i only need eleven thousand votes found us. I need eleven thousand. Give me a break for you. Know what they did. And you're not reporting it. That's a that's a criminal. That's a criminal offense and you can't let that happen. That's that's a big risk to you and to ryan you lawyers. That's a big risk is not fair to take it away from us like this and it's got to be very costly in many ways and i think you have to say that you're gonna reexamine it and you can reexamine but reexamine it with people that wanna find answers not people that don't wanna find answers. You can't let it happen and you are letting it happen all you know i mean i'm notifying you. You're letting it happen. So all i wanna do is i just wanna find Eleven thousand seven hundred eighty loads. I want you to find exactly enough votes to declare me the winner of the election in your state. And if you don't that's a big risk to you. I'm notifying you all criminal offense by you say you have reexamined. Didn't i actually one or else. And when president trump made that call on january second four days before the attack on the capital he hit already called. Georgia's governor to pressure him. To overturn the state's election results to trump also personally called a level official in the georgia secretary of state's office. The guy in charge of elections investigations and spent a long time. Personally pressuring that guy to quote find the fraud that would result in overturning. The election results in georgia and declaring trump the winner while president trump was making all of these calls personally the top federal prosecutor in atlanta. Us attorney in atlanta resigns under direct pressure from the trump white house because trump felt and communicated to that the us attorney that he was not doing enough to find that non-existent fraud that would somehow allow the overthrowing of the election results. One of the things that made the series of escalating interventions georgia's election so remarkable. Was that it. It was just also blatantly illegal. Not just impeachable but illegal like go to jail illegal. It is against the law in georgia to solicit someone to commit election fraud state election officials to find you exactly the number of votes you need to turn the election result the other way threatening collections officials that they to change vote counts in your favor or else would surely seem to fall under that statute will now even as donald trump's second impeachment trial unfolds in the us senate and what a spectacle it is and that trial unfolds on an article of impeachment that specifically references trump's threatening call to george a secretary of state while nell a high profile state prosecutor in georgia district attorney the largest county in the state fulton county has now opened a criminal investigation that centers on that phone call district attorney. There has sent this letter to george secretary of state governor lieutenant governor and attorney general extracting them all to preserve any and all records related to the two thousand twenty election quote. This letter is notice that the fulton county district attorney has opened an investigation into attempts to influence the administration of the twenty twenty georgia general election. This investigation includes but is not limited to potential violations of georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of election fraud the making of false statements to state and local governmental bodies conspiracy racketeering violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the elections administration quote. This matter is of high importance. Excuse me the this matter is of high priority. The next fulton county grand jury is due to convene in march.

Legal analysis of Trump impeachment trial
"To the program. Byron York He's the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner. He's a Fox news contributor in his capacity. The Examiner, he writes the Daily memo. Which is a newsletter. Available each day. He's also author of the book Obsession Inside the Washington Establishments. Never ending War on Trump, Byron. Good to Have you back. Good. Good to Be Here, guys. Thanks very much, Yes, that you've got a lot going on, obviously. And in your latest daily Nemo, you dive into some of these legal arguments and they're really in some ways process arguments. From various Republicans, particularly in the Senate about the upcoming impeachment trial. We know that the impeachment article being transferred over the Senate today with a start date on the trial. February the ninth, so a bit of a delay there, which is what some of the Republicans have been asking for. They've gotten it before we get into some of the other ancillary questions and details about the trial. It seems like and this is based on your reporting. What a fair amount of the Republican opposition to a conviction here in this impeachment trial will be rooted in the question of whether or not it's even appropriate or permissible. To host a trial like this against an official who's no longer in office. Walk us through some of the details and some of the relevant history on this. Well, there's there's been a big debate before Donald Trump River appeared on the scene. There was a big debate over whether a former official can be impeached and tried and removed from office. OK, so the The Constitution, says. Quote Article two section for the president, Vice president and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed on from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. So we hear we've heard that Ah lot and Republicans. In this case we're going to say Well when it says the president shall be removed. That means the president. There's only one of them at a time, and Donald Trump is not the president. Besides removal. The you know an impeachment is the Constitution's main methods for removing a president who's committed some sort of serious misconduct. Removal is irrelevant and Donald Trump's case because he's been out of office. His term expired on January 20th. So Republicans were going to say, Why are we having this big trial to remove a president who is already gone? And Democrats are gonna say well, there's an additional penalty. An impeachment if if someone is impeached and convicted, the Constitution says that punishment will not go beyond shall not extend further than two removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor trust or profit under the United States. That means a federal office like the presidency or senator member of the House. So Democrats going to say that the president's the former president Trump's actions were so serious in the first couple of weeks in January That he must be forbidden from ever holding office again. And that's what the big fight is about. And what you there the way you phrase your question, I think is correct, Which is I think there's some Republicans were going to say, Look, we don't even have to get to the merits of this case. That is whether the president incited insurrection because it's just a fact You can't impeach Ah, president who's already Out of office and they might make the argument is well, Byron even if there are people arguing, yes, they can write. It is legally permissible. They might summer arguing that you and people can come back and say OK. For the sake of argument. Let's say yes, you can do this. And obviously that mean the trial's gonna happen. So it looks like the process of Lisa's moving forward. There's also the prudential question of, should you it does is there A good reason to do this right if he's already gone, and for for some who are very critical of trump on what happened after Election Day, all the way through January, 6 in particular. Touchstone. There is going to be accountability and then for others, it's going to be okay. Whatever you think of what happened, And to be sure, Trump acted badly. And maybe we could have discussed a censure. But why are we wasting all this time to remove someone from office who is already removed from office because his term expired? And I guess you know you want to maybe get to 67 votes, which I think will be very hard to do to convict the guy to then bar him from office, which only takes a bare majority, but the prerequisite is conviction. On and you can also Debate whether or not that's the right decision there as well, because, you know, I think I've been very critical of President Trump on what he did what he said the lies about the stolen election and fostering the environment that lead To that violence in the siege on the capital, But I also sort of feel like if voters decide four years from now that they want him back. I kind of believe that should be up to voters in the United States right to to the citizens of this country, as opposed to up to, you know 51 or 50 senators, plus a tie breaking vote. That's sort of how I'm wrestling through some of these questions on I just wonder on the threshold question. Byron of whether or not this is Even allowed it. All right. I've heard arguments on both sides. Constitutionally of this. There's on Lee one tiny precedent right in today involving a non president who resigned from a position of power. Tell us about that and how it might be relevant here or how it might not correct. First of all, we should say that there is no precedent at all for this in the sense of former president being tried from people's just never ever happened, But they do point to a case of a Cabinet officer, a man named William Belt. Knapp, who was the secretary of war in the 18 seventies and the Grant administration. He was accused very credibly is guilty as hell probably of financial corruption. And so on. On this day that put the house is scheduled to vote to impeach him. And a couple of hours before the scheduled vote. He goes to the White House and resigns. He goes to President Grant Any resigns, and then he says, Well, hey, you can't impeach me. I'm a Warmer official. Well, the house went ahead on impeached him, and then it goes to the Senate, and there's a big debate over well, he's a former official. Can we impeach him or not? And they have a vote. And that's a it's a majority vote of the majority says Yes, we can him impeach him. So then they have a five month trial pretty long deal and he's acquitted because you know that you have to get to a two thirds vote to convict and they didn't get to that. And the reason they didn't get to. It was that there were a lot of senators who believe that it was not in their jurisdiction that he was a former Um, a former official and not in their jurisdiction. So is maybe not about it was not about the guilt on the merits necessarily was about Should we be doing this here? Under these auspices for this purpose, given the fact that this former official is indeed former. So this sort of vote the votes against conviction on that principle rather than the facts of the case. Correct. I think he was. There was consensus that he was guilty of what he's accused of. Now, here's the thing. So that is the one president that Democrats will point to here. But there's a lot of other presidents of officials either being impeached or being threatened with impeachment or impeachment has begun. The process has begun, and they resign and then Congress just drops it. Most of all, obviously the biggest issue. Biggest example of that is President Nixon, who resigned in 1974 ahead of impeachment. But most impeachments in this country involved judges and there've been like close to 50 judges who are either under investigation or impeachment had begun. And they resigned. And then nothing was On, even though his judges they could possibly hold a position under the United States in the future, But they were like qualify. Alcee Hastings opted. Alcee Hastings is a Democratic congressman from Florida. Who is himself an impeached federal judge for bring a bribery and corruption. I believe if memory serves, and he was able to then move on and run for the house and women, and he's been there ever since. He was in peace and removed but not banned from holding future office and the voters in Florida decided to send him to the house. And there is so there you have that there are these two questions. There's There's yes, there is one president in the belt nap case before impeaching a former Cabinet secretary. But then there's all these other examples like dozens of examples of Congress deciding to drop an issue once the person has resigned, and by the way, you'll you'll hear Democrats say, Well, gee, if we don't Try President Trump. Then president resigned right before impeachment and escape all punishment, as if resigning is not a rather large punishment for president. You might wanna ask Nixon about that. But the fact is, that's not even an issue in the Trump case because he did not resign. He served out his full term terminated at noon on January 20th. And now he's the former president.

The Timothy Leary Conviction
"On january twenty first nineteen seventy former harvard professor and so called priest of lsd timothy. Leary was sentenced to ten years in prison on drug smuggling charges but in september of that year. The fifty year-old academic broke out of a san luis obispo facility with the help of the weatherman. The daring escape only added to the mystique of the man president. Nixon wants declared the most dangerous man in america. But just what made leery so dangerous. Well it might not surprise you. That richard nixon may have been exaggerating for his own political game according to authors. Bill minna tag. Leo and stephen l davis nixon's advisors suggested he find a public enemy to distract the public from his own flagging approval rating the war in vietnam and the struggling economy. They leary a prominent figure in the counterculture movement and because the former professor was a proud exponent of hallucinogenic drug use. The president's ir fit right in with his war on drugs narrative timothy leary was something of a self appointed spokesperson for the benefits of drug use. Which heat enjoyed since one thousand nine hundred sixty after an experimental magic mushrooms trip. The already noted psychologist became excited about the possibilities. Mushrooms and similar drugs had on the human brain during his tenure. At harvard he conducted academic experiments on the effects of hallucinogens. Drawing the attention and admiration of other notable nineteen sixties figures famed authors. Like gin berg and jack kerouac willingly participated in leary's experiments and it was perhaps their involvement that catapulted the professor onto the national stage before long leary was touring the country speaking about his research and reportedly brushing up against the rich and famous inevitably a backlash arrived. Leary's teaching colleagues criticized his experimentation with lsd. They believed research of that. Nature should be left to medical doctors not psychologists meanwhile psychology experts who once lauded leary's earlier work now made it clear that his drug centered experiments were less praiseworthy. Despite these blows leary insisted that taking lsd was quote a sacramental ritual one that could expand human consciousness. Harvard university did not agree and fired him in nineteen sixty three but by that stage leary had a new life. He was a counterculture touchstone for the masses and a legitimizing scientific voice in the pro drug movement. He rubbed shoulders with marilyn monroe and sang with john. Lennon and yoko ono in short he was a powerful voice advocating for drug use throughout the nineteen sixties. He even appeared before a senate committee to argue in favor of legislation. That would make it legal for adults to use hallucinogenic drugs. So when richard. Nixon assumed the presidency in nineteen sixty nine leary was squarely in his sights. Ostensibly nixon wanted to eliminate drug use in the country. Leary very much did not. That made him dangerous. So it's little surprise that when leary's appeal of his nineteen sixty five drug-smuggling conviction was overturned. The government wanted a second bite at the apple but any joy nixon and his cabinet might have felt in putting leary. Away was short lived using his network of contacts. The former professor escaped prison remaining on the run until nineteen seventy three when he was detained in afghanistan and sent back to the united states. There he was jailed in the notorious folsom. Prison and briefly befriended charles manson and though his sentence was for ten years leary was paroled in nineteen. Seventy six having served just three. It's a surprising twist day given that so many drug offenders imprisoned for decades on similar offenses then again timothy leary was famous and white which might have had something to do with his early release

"America. Well, Kevin, let's talk about that. I've lost count of the amount of times you've had to say unity and unifying through this morning. It is truly a momentous occasion. It is truly bizarre. Let's think about it over the last four years and I would become desensitized to things happening down in D. C in the bath for chaos is shifted ever higher, But we have an incoming president, talking about units see a time when impeachment proceedings. Are underway. Kevin, Can you achieve unity as you're impeaching a president that is just leaving. How does that work down in Washington? You know, Historically speaking, I'm struck by the only similar precedent that we have, and we're in unchartered territory here. But when President Ford pardoned President Nixon and he did so it was a deeply unpopular decision, but one that he later said he did in order to unify the country and move forward. What we heard yesterday from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor, continuing to raise questions about the president's responsibility for the attack on the Capitol in many ways could be argued. As a unifying message for Republicans as the Republican Party looks to see which direction it will be headed in not just in the upcoming midterm elections, of which they made gains in the House of Representatives. On the cost of another presidential cycle, a time in which Vice President Mike Pence who will be in attendance today, really is also keeping his own political options open. So there's a lot of unknown variables and one that are not ones that are not clear right now, Jonathan but important questions that are being asked for the entire country that will play out over the next couple of weeks. And as you correctly mentioned The biggest unknown is whether or not he will be convicted in the Senate. Right now we're looking at shots for everyone tuning in on Bloomberg Radio at President Trump landing at joint base, Andrews in the helicopter, his family waiting there to watch him off, including Ivanka Trump. Jared Kushner, not wearing masks their son wearing a mask. Looking on looking at their watches, waiting for their president to come down.

"Which is why President Nixon was named an unindicted, uh, co conspirator because at that point, they weren't sure. Their head that they didn't have a legal opinion. There was also a new opinion, saying the president couldn't pardon himself and I did a piece on this this week. And what interested me was the consensus among Uh, scholars and historians was that if Trump were to pardon himself, it would Mean that the Biden administration almost certainly would have to challenge that in court. They would have to prosecute him for something. They would it himself. They would have to prosecute him for something. And in order to get the self pardon in front of the courts, because if you leave that there as a a suppress ident, then what's to stop of president the most, you know, the James Bond desk villain kind of president. From selling the nuclear codes and then pardoning himself. I'm glad that you mentioned pardons. I've got a question for Kim waylay on that point, and then Mara may want to jump in, and I also want to know by the way the rule is past were up to 219 votes in favor of the rule. Handful of members haven't voted yet. But my question is about reforms to the pardon power. Kim waylay There is the question of a president pardoning himself. There is the question the president pardoning his friends and political allies, which this president has done a great number of times. It has not escaped people's thoughts that the president hypothetically could before leaving office. Pardon everyone to attack the capital on January 6th. Is there a need for some kind of reform of the pardon? Power? And if so, what would it be? Well, you know, there's very little on the pardon power, and there's a debate among scholars as to the scope of it. Some believe it's completely unlimited. But you know, the Supreme Court has held. For example, if if you're if you're criminally prosecuted and convicted, and you have to turn over money that apart and can't give you your money back without an act of Congress because of the appropriations caused Joining the best argued the better argument is that you can't use the pardon power in a way that conflict with another part of the constitution. But the court is also indicated that Congress can't limit it. I do think there could be, you know, in terms of statutory reform. Do you think there could be more transparency around the pardon Power because it's meant to really be Ah, political mechanism. Um, but as far as you know, there's a sitting president. Being indicted. There's a big difference between a criminal prosecution and an impeachment. The impeachment, I think, really with Bill Clinton probably was the time where it was. You know, became politicized, and it's hard to imagine a super majority of any Senate from the same political party. Is the president ever actually convicting, so it's become a non You know, not really a functional tool. But you know, as you know, Steve, I was associate independent counsel in the Ken Starr Whitewater investigation on Do you know that was a long investigation? A lot of money really good lawyers. You know, very, very careful, careful going over every conceivable fact, every piece of evidence multiple times and, you know, you know, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton were indicted. Why? Because this wasn't the evidence there and I think we've seen In this last few months the courts actually hold when it comes to the Constitution. They're bound by fax, and they're bound by law. That's why out of 60 suits on Lee one tiny victory War President The For the Trump campaign out of 90 90 judges, uh, you know they they're limited that way. And so that's why I don't. I'm not so sure. Indictment allowing, you know serious scrutiny of crime, which has a very high threshold would necessarily lead to political gamesmanship.

Biden invites Pence to inauguration
"I just heard it the top of the news and I already knew this. President Trump is not going to the inauguration of Joe Biden. I just I think that's sad, but under the circumstances now as the what happened I don't know. Maybe it's a good thing. But Mike Pence vice President Mike Pence, who Donald Trump through under the bus through under the bus badly this week. You know Pence you talk about a loyal vice president and he just gets thrown under the bus because he wouldn't go along with that cockamamie scheme. On the electors. I had thought and I had thought until I just heard that that Mike Pence. It already said he's going to president Binds inauguration and Mr Vice President, Please, please, Please go to that inauguration. You know, up Until this election, our country was known for the orderly transition of power. Other countries. Look to us for that. So we're not gonna have the president? I sure as hell hope we have the vice president. And would it be hard? Hell, yeah, it would be hard. You know, as a student history, I watch clips of 1960. When JFK was sworn in, he lost to Nixon and an extremely close election. 100,000 votes throughout the whole country. Nixon was Vice President Nixon had to sit there and watch that happen. You know that the prince of darkness himself, Richard Nixon did it with grace and did it with honor the same thing for Al Gore in the year 2000. He lost to George W. Bush. He went to George W. Bush's inauguration with class and dignity. So, Mr Vice President, please attend the inauguration, please.

"I just want your Your view on what happened? Why and what it portends, If anything Well, it's it's a long story, isn't it? It starts with the facts about the election, which are extremely questionable. We can talk about that. But I think the president made a mistake and the nature of the mistake's not hard to identify. Uh, if you go and read the constitutional convention When they get to choosing the executive, the debate is extremely interesting. James Madison was for the national popular vote. Sense of the Congress was against that the convention was against that because They wanted to distribute. Speaking of the president across the country, you know that much on their minds. Madison's, too was how to unite a great country into a single system of representative rule, which had never been done before. So then they went to the state executives, and they thought Well, there's not very many of them and you could have a cabal and you could have horse trading and people could pick somebody for president. That they you know that to get something for it. Then they thought the state legislatures, which is more numerous and better Then they thought they can pick electors. Then they thought the electors will meet in their states separately. They can't pick anybody who's already an official. They can't pick people from their states. Until the whole thing was to make the thing neutral and widespread. So that means that the state legislatures are the remember. It doesn't say the state governments, which means the All three branches of the state. It means this is state legislatures. He can fear that with the way Congressional Congress is the judge Feeding of all of its members, right, So Nancy Pelosi, I think is trying to unseat somebody from some state right now, and they certainly have the power to do that. So it's the legislatures, And that means that when the Legislature's Settle on some electors. The only remedy for it is to get them to change. And you know there was a huge effort right up to the last day January 6th To get them to change. And I live here in Michigan and no some of them and was very much of the view that they were never going to change. So that means that Probably this was over on D. It would have been better if it you know at least two weeks ago, but maybe a month ago. It just would have been better if we had all acknowledged that in that president Trump had acknowledged that And then so then, you know, there's a demonstration they say incited a riot. He called for them to be peaceful, peaceable repeatedly in his remarks. So he certainly didn't intend to do that. Uh and you know it. It got out of hand for several reasons, as far as I can tell. So the doctor lets positive from him and I did not see the speech. I was recording at the Nixon Foundation, the 108th anniversary tribute to President Nixon and doing all the sorts of stuff that goes in that so I didn't see him actually speech. I'm told Rudy Giuliani called for trial by combat, and the president urged people to march on the Congress and fight. I don't know what Donald Trump Jr did. But you think he said peaceful? Well, I've read the transcript this morning, he says peaceable. Two or three times. That's news to me. Okay? Yeah, And he you know, so I, you know, maybe the transcript. I right is wrong and I didn't see it either. I know it is. You know, I don't I am a week on week is abundant because real job and because I don't watch TV news, which is apparently where reality is located now. But so And, you know, he even offered to walk down to the Capitol wisdom. So I don't think he was imagining. Uh Any physical assault. And surely that's you know, so But on the other hand He called the crowd together and that you know, so he has responsibility for that. And let's pause there. I asked Governor Christie this morning about potential liability of the president to the family of the different dead police officer. Because tort liability is supposed to criminal liability does not depend upon intent. It depends upon negligence and recklessness. What is foreseeable and what is the proximate cause of injury? You think he is the proximate cause of that man's death. No. And here's Why, Um The you know. Protests and rallies are American as apple pie, and you know it's worth noting that this protest in rally Is being treated very differently than the sustained violence that went on in the country over the summer. On, Let's you know, not right. And the point is the Trump rallies are tremendous phenomena, and they have been Almost entirely peaceable. And the people who go there. People from you know, I said, I see them and sometimes I know people among them. I've never been to a trump rally, but I've been in the place where they were being held. There are a lot of people and those air people from Middle America who pay their own way to get back there. Uh And so it's you know, I don't I don't think that, uh, you know why You know a group of them and I don't know how many itwas but maybe 100 or 200. What crossed across the police line. And went into the Capitol building. I believe the numbers actually over 1000 doctor on but I'm not sure I see. Okay, Well, that's you know, that's bad. They shouldn't have done that. That's you know, it's a breach of the law. They all got to be prosecuted. Somebody is going to be prosecuted for murder and felony murder is not out of the question for all of them. Yeah, that's right. So, so it's a bad thing. And, uh, aside, I Remember remind you remind everybody that Governors all over the country joined those protests that were accompanied by riots. This summer. And people were harmed and businesses were burned and people were killed. And, uh,.

What happened Thanks for listening to this week in history on my heart radio to lean muscle ratio, So from a weight control standpoint, this is very good news. Additionally, Green tea helps to stabilize blood glucose or blood, sugar and unstable blood. Sugar is one of the contributing factors to increased weight. So by stabilizing blood sugar, you have an effect on weight control and weight management. So it's really quite remarkable stuff. You need enough of it. We've got enough of it in green tea, CR. It has to be the right extract. We've got the right extract. But the science is there for healthy weight management right now, Chris, you say that with purity is formula. It provides you with about three cups worth of green tea and each to capsule serving of these cutting edge liquid soft gel. So you get all of the green tea is concentrated, Ben. If it's for energy for heart health for alertness in just two soft gel caps. Plus you get the curcumin and the resveratrol, too. So it's easy. You call it your daily shortcut to better health. Explain this idea of a healthy shortcut and explain some of the top benefits as well. Well, I mean, you could, for example, drink three cups of good concentrated green tea each day. Need at least one really rich curry made with a lot of tumeric route and drink a couple of glasses of red wine. You could do that every day. Most people will not do that every day, but they still might want the benefits of three of the biggest superstar protective health enhancing nutrients on the entire planet. So when I call this the daily shortcut, I'm simply saying that you can get in the capital in a good liquid soft gelatin capsule. What you'd otherwise have to get by drinking a few cups of tea eating at least one large, you know, tumeric laden curry everyday and drinking a couple of glasses of concentrated red wine again. We're talking with Chris Kill him the medicine hunter. Now in this new green tea CR formula from purity. It's really about the research share with us some of your favorite studies and the head. Lines on the curcumin that we didn't get to yet. I know this is one of your favorite ingredients for joint comfort and even for brain health. Well, I especially like the liver, protective, heart, protective and joint modifying properties of this stuff. The liver is our greatest detoxifying organ, And we know that we're constantly bombarded by toxins in the environment. In fact, Blood. Studies show that newborn babies contained 200 industrial pollutants in their blood at the time of birth, So we need a functioning super healthy, very strong liver. We might not think about it delivers that much. But we need that. And we know that curcumin protects delivery Detoxified deliver. It keeps it strong. I'm a cardiac standpoint, it's highly beneficial for the heart. It's very good for maintaining healthy cholesterol and healthy platelet levels. And from a joint standpoint, we have innumerable studies showing overall improvement in joint health and relief and stable inflammatory activity. Better joint mobility as a result of taking curcumin. I like the brain protective studies as well. You know, I think everybody wants a sharper, clearer mind and curcumin delivers all this. So I regarded as one of the single most important things that you can put in your body. And I'm very well aware, pat that most people are not going to eat enough raw tumeric route to get the benefits that they should and that they can get from a concentrated curcumin extract. All right, I want to remind people that then call now to get started with a free bottle of green tea. CR from purity products. This is their unique green tea formula with the curcumin and the resveratrol which a free bottle today just pay 4 95 for shipping call Now operators are standing by 1 804 997505 again 1 800 4997505 right back to the show. Chris. I don't want to get too technical here. But these anti oxidants in green tea or classified is Polly Fi knows, And there really are super powerful and well respected by scientists. But in this green tea CR formula, there's more. It's got two green tea. It's got the curcumin the risk Vera troll that we talked about, plus grape seed extract pine bark, bio flavanoids vitamin C Can you talk to me about this array of really super Antioxidants and Polly Fi knows that you've put in the formula. Well, yeah, I won't say that. We kind of went over kill, but I will say that we really, really developed in the efficient comprehensive program here. Grape seed extract and pine bark extract. Both contain a group of highly specialized antioxidant compounds. That not only do much of what I've already described, but also enhance the physical integrity of tissue in the blood vessels in the skin. So we put those in there for extra boost in antioxidant activity, but also first specific type of activity that isn't as much addressed by the green tea, the curcumin and the resveratrol, the bio flavanoids and hands. The overall activity of vitamin C and vitamin C itself is one of the most important nutrients that we can possibly take in. So I would say that we were very, very star. Oh, you know, when we went through what could be in this product, we said, you know what would happen if we put in great seed extract pine bark extract bio flavanoids and vitamin C. We realized that we would have an utterly superior formula and just to reiterate Pat. I want people to experience dynamic health. I want people to feel great. This formula. The green tea CR will make you feel.
