China calls US House resolution 'political manipulation'
"China is again reacting to the U.S. shootdown of a suspected Chinese spy balloon. Beijing says yes it did refuse a call from U.S. defense secretary Lloyd Austin after the balloon was shot down because the U.S. had not created the proper atmosphere for dialog. Beijing is also slamming a unanimous House of Representatives vote that accused China of brazenly violating U.S. sovereignty with the balloon flight. Beijing dismissing the vote as hype and political manipulation and saying the U.S. violated international norms and set a pernicious precedent when it shot down the balloon. China insists this was a weather balloon that simply went off course. I'm Rita foley

Rita Moreno's Tempestuous Love Affair With Marlon Brando
"I got to know about mala Brando through his daughter. I got to know a lot about him. But Rita Moreno had a hard time with Brando. And she admitted she tried to kill herself with pills. A couple of times. She didn't understand that if she said, if I was gonna kill this pathetic said, trot upon Rita, the rest of Rita was also gonna go with me. I really didn't seem to understand that, but that's what the attempt was. It was an attempt and I love when people get this, there's honest late in life, you know? Because these are these people are from a different generation, obviously, but Hollywood was so different back then. It was the golden age. People didn't, you know, kiss and tell. But you read these biographies that come out autobiographies that come out and memoirs and man, you get the whole skinny. What a great time must have been to be out here. But Moreno was married to a heart Doctor Who became her manager. I named Leonard Gordon and, you know, Brando kept coming around. And read it and want that. But he did. And she said he lost a big pot of himself. The good part of him, the good mullin that read a love, it was very complicated our thing really, really complicated. He was the king of movies. He was really one of the most sexual men on earth. It was one of those very tempestuous love affairs. And don't forget what you just said. He was one of the most sexual men on earth. That's why you have to believe me when Quincy Jones said what he said about Randolph would screw a doorknob. And he had sex with men. His own daughter told me he had a fling with mobile, James Dean. We were having New Year's Eve dinner and she told me that and my family couldn't believe it. It refused to believe it. And then she said, was having sex with men even after James Dean. Marvin Gaye was another one. So nobody believes these stories, but when you talk to people from their family and they admit it to you, you're going to tell them they're wrong. They're not wrong. And even though he was crazy, she admitted that she wanted to marry him. You know, but she kept sleeping with him regardless of the fact that he was sleeping around with other women, and it killed her. She said, one time she found lingerie that was not hers. And she went home devastated, crying and crying. And something wonderful happened the next day, she said, she was spotted by Elvis Presley. Who liked what he saw? And he asked for a meeting with Rita. And she accepted the invitation with that stranger's lingerie still on her mind, you know, it's going to happen now, she has a fling with Elvis because she's pissed at random.

Gas Prices Keep Falling
"Have you noticed those gas prices? They're still falling, gas is three 17 a gallon today. That's 57 cents cheaper than a month ago. 14 cents less than a week ago. Why? Well, the triple-A points to supply and demand. There's more gas available but less demand for it. Why is that? Well, fewer people hit the roads as the weather starts to get worse, and there's less daylight. At the moment, the highest prices are in the west, its four 41 a gallon in California.

Working at 76: Inflation forces hard choice for older adults
"Higher prices are stressing many Americans, those over 65 often have an even harder time of it. Take lenore Angie, a retired school lunch worker from Cleveland, Ohio. At the age of 76, she had to go back to work, finding a part time job as a salesperson at a department store to cover the costs of food and medicine for her ailing husband. The holidays, she says, are going to be tough. A larger share of people like her say they feel worse off financially than they were a year ago. That's according to the AARP. And this problem is expected to get worse as more baby boomers retire. The Census Bureau estimates that by 2050, the number of Americans ages 65 and older will be nearly double what it was ten years ago. I'm Rita foley

Harry Cohn and Rita Hayworth's Tumultuous Relationship
"Harry Cohn at one point took all the credit for creating Rita Hayworth. He was obsessed with her. I don't blame him. She's my tippy top. She was Columbia's first sex goddess in the 40s. But she kept getting married. Her first husband was a 40 year old car salesman, then she married the director arson wells, then she married Ali Khan, who was the arid parent to a Muslim throne, then she married the singer dick James. Every time she got married, her box office started declining. It eroded to the point where it was shit. And her marriage to Khan, who was a huge Playboy huge womanizer, that kept her out of pictures for two years. And it really infuriated Harry Cohn and it really alienated her fans. So after Rita Hayworth returns to Hollywood in 51, Cohen wanted one of her pet projects, which was Joseph and his brethren, and until then, her husband dick haymes had come into Harry's office with a perfectly chiseled beard and demanded to be cast as Joseph. And instead, Harry Cohen decided to get back at Rita Hayworth because it was still madly in love with her and he was also pissed that he let Marilyn Monroe slip away, believe it or not, and I can believe this because I'm one of those people who's not super impressed by Malin's beauty. I'm just not like there's certain pictures I get it, and the voice I hear it. But when you take everything into account, she's not my favorite movie star or sex bomb, not at all. And I think she was like probably too big and too sloppy and fucked everybody just not my cup of tea. But Harry Cohn felt the same way he wasn't impressed by her beauty. He didn't renew her contract in 1940 to 6 month contract. And he said, you know what? I'll take the next pretty girl that walks in my office and wants to be a star. And he did just that. And that was Rita Hayworth.

"Says, don't you touch me? Touch me. And I thought, how would Marlin say that as an actor? And it was through my teeth. Don't you touch me? That is the scene that I know got me the Oscar. Rita Moreno and west side star. In 1962, Moreno became the first Latina to win an Academy Award for acting. I can't believe it. So your phone must have been ringing off the hook after. No, the phone wasn't ringing off the hook. After west side story, I couldn't get a job except in game movies, lesser ones. Your career did not just take off. Hardly. So you took off. Yeah. She moved to New York and found new love and new roles on Broadway. She married a cardiologist, the late Lenny Gordon, and they had a daughter Fernanda it was here in the 70s alongside Morgan Freeman that Moreno won her first Grammy with the TV show the electric company. Then a Tony for her outrageous Broadway creation googie Gomez and with the help of a green frog and Emmy rounded out the egot. If all the puppets and slapstick give the impression Moreno had gone to the light side, look again. Oh yeah. In the Gritty HBO drama Oz in the 1990s, she played prison psychologist, sister Peter Marie. The different kind of different kind of nuts. Stop it. Stop it. It was a Salvation of me as an actress, not a career. Since Oz, Moreno has kept working straight into the 21st century, movies, TV, a sitcom with legendary producer Norman Lear, she's been working nonstop for 75 years, and there's this. Steven Spielberg's version of west side story. Moreno plays Valentina, the widow of Doc, who owned the candy store in the original. All right, she's also an executive producer of the film, released last year. She's part of the ensemble. We talked with Steven Spielberg remotely. But I wanted her to really bridge the legacy of west side story. And to inspire our young cast. And unlike the first movie, Spielberg set a mandate that all Puerto Rican characters be played by Hispanic actors. I think Hollywood has changed. I think there are still things yet to be addressed. The representation that Hispanics get is almost nil. There's so many talented people among Hispanics. Jennifer Lopez can't be the only one. That's why Moreno was thrilled to be part of this west side story. She sings, she sings, and she acts, and even though she doesn't have a dance number, I have home movies of Rita, dancing with.

"Career is working. And Rita Moreno will be the first to say none of it came easy. What fueled that flawless swirl of violet as Anita in west side story was sheer willpower. I never stopped rehearsing. In fact, somebody told me recently that they were a dance extra on the mambo at the gym scene, and one of the girls turned to her when we had ten minutes off. And she says, look at Rita Moreno. She's still rehearsing. She says, that's what you have to do to become a star. But what is it about you to have achieved this? I think that perseverance is my middle name. It's just something truly that I think and I inherited from my mom. In 1936, Moreno's mother rosa Maria and wide eyed 5 year old rosita fled poverty in Puerto Rico to start a new life in New York. They landed in The Bronx. Or as we still call it The Bronx. Here she first encountered the sting of racism..

"Every time I would go out to give a reading, this is pre-pandemic times, of course, I would try to put together a list of poems to read that would take the audience on a journey that they could it had a trajectory. And I called these lists playlists much like we do, you know, with music. And so when I was putting when this book began to come together, let's put it that way because I didn't really consciously put it together. The poems found each other. I realized that it was in fact a playlist for the times that we were living through. So that's where the title came from. I really intended it to be, and I've always felt that a playlist for the apocalypse will have its ups and its downs and it will comfort you at times. Over the course of time, I've gotten to meet Rita and her wonderful husband Fred. I've even separately gotten to hear their daughter of viva lecture on art at UCLA and so I feel like this is not just a poet I know and love. This is the whole family. I've had the privilege and opportunity to know and love. And one of the people that I have liked best in the world, someone who I have been a mentor to. He's teaching poetry to engineers at NYU. These engineers not only are discovering that they love poetry as it is taught to them by the wonderful young poet Alan felson for they particularly of a poem from Rita dove's new book and its a poem called mirror and I may say that it does mirror itself. It's written in two columns that face each other, mirror wise, but these students, the engineers fell in love with it, and I thought that the first poem I would ask Rita dove to read is her poem mirror from her new book playing list for the apocalypse. I will read the two sides of the poem. I'll first read it vertically. So I'll read the left hand side first. And then the right hand side you will hear the words being repeated. They are in fact the lines mirror each other. Mirror, take this from me, my blasted gaze. Sunken, astonishment. Resolve memory and rebuild. Shame will dissolve under powder pressed into my skin. Oh, avalanche, my harbor. Can I look over you picked and pustule crease and blotch without seeing you through you. If all I am, am I all? Is what was me, the right hand side. Mirror, this take from me, gaze blasted my sunken resolve, astonishment. Shame will rebuild and memory dissolve into pressed powder under skin, my harbor, my avalanche. Oh, I can look you over blotch and crease postural and pit. Seeing without you through you, am I all if all I am is, wow is me. Wow. Rita, that was beautifully red. Thank you. Now, tell me what inspired you to write a poem into columns that would mirror itself. Like so many poems, I discovered that the moment of inspiration happens in something quite small and also totally unanticipated to can't force the stuff into being. And I was really looking in the mirror. It was morning. I'm not the best soul in the morning. This is not my time. And so I'm usually very grumpy. And I think I had to go somewhere. And I stood in front of the mirror. This is the moment of truth, you know? You see your own varnished face. And I said, it's time to paint it. It's time to put on the outside face and in that moment, I thought, why can't this me or talk back to me? How can I do that? I would like to have a poem reflect that. And suddenly I said, oh my gosh, I've got to do this poem this way. This is for the apocalypse published by Norton, an extraordinary book because it goes in many different directions. This book has treated itself to the opportunity to talk about our times aspects of history, aspects of personal life and it does see how history mirrors our personal life, Rita discovers or at least reveals to us who don't know it that the word ghetto was first used in reference to the place the foundry where the metallic shards were kept where the Jews were sent to live during their years of prejudice in Venice and what this book does is to show us our personal history corresponds to our global history. The last section of the book is a group of poems in which reader dove discovers that she has a form of MS, and reveals to us that what I thought in an earlier book was an absolutely charming history of how she and her husband studied poor room dancing. It's revealed in this set of poems that she studied ballroom dancing in order to regain her balance. In other words, that our personal history is constantly reflecting our decisions if we are riders the form of a poem reflects the form that the poet takes because you haven't always been centrally of formal poet. What has attracted you again to form? Well, I think that every poem has its form. It announces or insists upon its own cage of music its own rules. Some of these rules can be fixed, you know, beforehand, so, you know, as a son at their rules that you follow and you kind of give yourself over to them and see what happens within that kind of charm to cage. But even a free verse poem if the poet is being honest. And it's being rigorous with herself. It has its rules. In other words, Michael, I think that I've always considered myself a poet who worked in form. It's just that the form moves around, you know, like, yeah, sometimes. But one of the I find that the form for me does not work unless I don't know it's there. In other words, I don't start out of pump saying it's going to be a sonnet. I start working on it and I look at the.

Now that you are in america who you said even if it wasn't your your hero or your favorite or your role model but was there somebody who you recognized as you know. Yeah that was elizabeth taylor and there were no mentors for somebody like myself. Then i never even knew the word. And so i made her my role model and she was the girl i wanted to be. And she was the the movie star. I want it to be and that's how that image came into my head. Just oh she was just extraordinarily beautiful. She was a star and she was a star at my favorite favorite Studio mgm which had all the great musicals there were other studios that had musicals but none of them ever matched the power and the energy of mgm musicals because they also had and miller and they had jim kelly for pete's sake and he's gonna come up there again in a minute but i guess for you was the ultimate always the movies. Because it's pretty big broadway a pretty big deal and you were on broadway at thirteen. I think before. Well before the movie. I was thirteen. Yeah i made my debut. And we opened on broadway and we close the very next day and night so the you know lesson number four already right right. I'm only what's thirteen well. And it was those those next few years. I guess really all through the rest of your teens. In hindsight must have felt like a whole rollercoaster because as you talk about in the documentary. There's the thrill of actually having your ambition realized getting to not only join a movie studio but the movie studio that you've just been taught my dreams. Yes but then also at nineteen. That was over. That's when they dropped your contract and a lot of people might have been devastated by that and that might have been. The end of the story was devastated. Dropped my contract is they didn't know what to do with me. And they dropped the options. My contract and i was an absolute shock. Because i honestly believed because i was also very naive. Young girl I was always young for my years with respect to sophistication I thought i was going to be there forever. And then it'll be mayor was going to be kind of surrogate daddy and What i was told that my contract was not being picked up..

"My relationship with marlon depended on what was happening at my therapists psychotherapists he would be very helpful. And then i would succumb to marlins charms and go back to him for the you know twentieth time and it was very the only thing that really stopped it and that was my intention at the time was my attempted suicide. I couldn't take being humiliated anymore. And i found that i was my own worst enemy so it was my intention the objective. The objective of this attempted suicide was to get rid of this relationship. So when you when you were revived and treated what was your reaction. When you found that you were alive. I knew i would never try that. Again I absolutely knew i would never ever try such a thing again. It's so against my nature and The my doctor said to me my therapist he said You can never ever ever seen marla again because the next time you may not be as lucky. You know what i'm wondering. Brando had a social consciousness which he did which was he was public about but did he have a social consciousness about women. Not until not until Women were vaginas and to be baloney but really rita. How do you feel you tell us what you really think. So when you were in a relationship with him it was was it. The nineteen sixties or. Oh yes yes. Yes because we were at the march on washington together along with other people so it might have been before the real revival of the women's movement caught on for sure it was way yes. It was way before that way before that i'm thinking like you. Maybe didn't really have the language to talk to or to him. I didn't have the language. And i didn't understand i really not only didn't have the language i had such a poor image of myself. I really was one of the most self loathing people i have ever met. I didn't never thought i was pretty. I never thought. I was good at anything when you're a child and you're told often enough that you have no value.

You can lift people in spa in spawned to do that. Best and need to believe that you want them to succeed and we can all do with a bit more nicer in the world.
