"Interview, I'm talking with a keen Roberts. A game is based out of Brooklyn, New York, and he's a cartoonist and illustrator, and a daily contributor to The New Yorker. Let's start the show. All right, so tell us who you are and what you do. My name is Aki mess Roberts. I'm a cartoonist for The New Yorker, illustrator for JD, the kit barber series, and a book designer by day. How has 2023 been going so far? 2023 has been pretty crazy so far. I started off the year unemployed just doing freelance stuff and as of three weeks ago, I just got a brand new job and sort of getting the reins on that and everything's been going pretty good. On that is congratulations on the new job. Thank you. Do you have any plans for the summer or anything you want to do? For the summer right now I don't have anything planned. I'm sure I'll just try to go to a beach or a Lake or something and just relax for a little bit. I'm curious, you know, from last year to this year aside from the employment change that you mentioned about, have there been any other kind of changes for you? Anything else going on? I'd say from last year to this year, I have more committed to being in publishing versus animation, which was kind of like the main thing that I did at the start of my career was mostly animation and after I started doing stuff at The New Yorker and stuff with kapila, I slowly started making to transition into publishing. What brought that transition on aside from just more work was it a feeling or anything? I felt like for animation mostly it was things move a little bit slower and it feels like the artists, I guess I was a cog in the machine animation wise while publishing, even though I am still just like in the machine, I have a little more of a voice and a little more of a say and I guess it just feels more freeing sounds like there's just more, I guess, agency, I guess, and publishing. Yes, exactly. Okay. Let's talk about some of your work that you're doing as a freelance illustrator. I'm curious, what does a regular day look like for you these days? If I'm doing dailies for The New Yorker, I'll try to get up around like 7 o'clock and then hit Twitter or like some kind of news source and just like go through trending and try to see what's going on, what's like what happened in the past 24 hours and then I'm seeing if I can find a joke and connect that into a bit for The New Yorker for their daily cartoons. So you're like creating new pieces every day

"Dylan sees through 6 shutout innings as the White Sox defeated the Astros three to one. Yeah, this was really great. Finally, I think some of the work going into it paid off. So anytime you get a win and hold them, scoreless, it's fantastic. C's did not get the victory, but this was his best performance of the season, limiting Houston to four hits with 5 strikeouts, offensively, Tim Anderson and Johan Mankato each had three hits, and Luis Robert had a couple of RBIs, including one on his tenth home run.

RFK Jr. Speaks Out Against Censorship
"This Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is emerging as a really intriguing character. I don't know if you're following this entire candidacy, this long shot bid he's got to challenge Joe Biden. He said something about censorship. This was an interview he gave to the gateway pundit. And he shared it on Twitter. Listen to this. There's never been a time in history when the good guys with the people who are censoring books and certainly information. And throughout COVID, he media took on this responsibility of basically lying to the public about public health issues in order to get them to follow a certain policy, which the media believed in apparently, which locked down as a force vaccination, et cetera. And now it's clear that those policies were not beneficial to public health, but I think the media got into this posture of censorship and it's hard for them to relinquish it.

A judge known for his care and cautiousness in presiding over litigation in the aftermath of the 9 11 attacks, has been selected to decide whether Donald Trump's criminal case proceeds in state or federal court.

Exposed: Radical Left's Strategy to Destroy Conservatives
"Number 13 in the rules for radicals. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it. And polarize it. Rule number 8, keep the pressure on rules for radicals. Is one of the many, let's just say pieces of literature that radical left wing activists considered to be their gospel, how they operate. It's more of the technical side than the philosophical side. The philosophical side we've gone through, but the technical side of how they operate can be best explained through rules for radicals, amongst many other pieces of literature. But I think this is really important. Pick the target freeze it personalize it and polarize it. That's what they're doing right now to clearance Thomas. They've done that Tucker Carlson. They've done that to James O'Keefe. They see the movement makers on the right. They see the people that are willing to be effective, courageous, bold. You notice that they don't go after John Roberts? You notice that? John Roberts is not a big point of controversy. I don't know about Neil Gorsuch. Yep, but clarence Thomas is number one. And let's just be honest. The reason why they hate clarence Thomas is the same reason why they refuse to put clarence Thomas in the black history museum brought to you by the Smithsonian right there in downtown D.C.. It's because they consider clarence Thomas to be a race trader. That's how big it did these people are. They consider clarence Thomas to be a traitor to the black race and its white liberals that largely believe this because they believe they can control black people the same way that Democrats control black people through poll taxes and segregation, which they're doing again. And also through slavery, they just control black people differently through government handouts and goodies and voting for the Democrat party while white liberals remain rich and powerful, blacks continue to line up to vote for the American Democrat party. The whole thing is a scam. Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum are doing a great job of exposing that scam.

How Democrats Changed the Game for Supreme Court Nominations
"Left has hated clarence Thomas since the moment George H. W. Bush to his credit, nominated him to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, remember, Supreme Court hearings used to not be very contentious. Used to be 98 nothing and 72 ten kind of boring, you know, okay, great. Passerby. But then the Democrats decided across the Rubicon. The Democrats decided to derail one of president Ronald Reagan's nominees. The great Robert bork. Robert bork should have been on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was an unbelievable writer. He knew the constitution through and through, but they went after him, and they went after him very, very hard. They, not just condemned him, they mocked him. They made him seem like a radical, which he wasn't. He was a thoughtful, reasonable person. And the term borking, a nominee, was born. That you could derail a nomination. And they tried to do this Kavanaugh, by the way, and they were unsuccessful. And basically they were able to consolidate 58 Democrats to 42 Republicans to reject a Supreme Court nominee the first of which in over 50 years to be rejected by the U.S. Senate. Joe Biden was the instrumental person. He was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and derailed Robert bork's attempt to go on the U.S. Supreme Court. Play cut one 19. As a nationally known jurist and legal scholar, Robert bork was a mainstay of conservative jurisprudence for more than half a century. Those views fueled a Titanic struggle over his 1987 nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, a fight that became a seminal moment in altering the process for all future nominees. Bork's Supreme Court confirmation hearings unfolded in September 1987, and heralded a historic struggle over the ideological composition of the federal courts. The judges responsibility is to discern how the framers values defined in the context of the world they knew. Apply in the world we know. Brilliant, Ted Kennedy, who was an evil person. How many times can you say chappaquiddick? Was involved. Joe Biden was involved. The same cabal. They never go away.

The suit claims the reporters were aware of a settlement agreement barring her from disclosing the documents, but justice Robert Reed wrote Trump's claims fail as a matter of constitutional law, noting legal news gathering is at the very core of protected First Amendment activity.

This is way more interesting than, oh, Joe Biden struggles to finish sentences. Yeah, okay, we know that. All right? Joe Biden is old. We know that too.

There's a don't vaccinate my kid with an mRNA gene altering shot that you call a vaccine. Otherwise known as the COVID-19 shot, this is coalition building. And in some sense, this is our best hope. You want to know what the hope for America is? Hope for America is not the current Republican Party. Now, don't get me wrong. I think the vessel to actually effectuate this coalition building will need to have a temporary home in the Republican Party. Elon Musk agreed, by the way. Elon Musk voted for Republicans in the midterms because in a two party system, it's going to have to land somewhere and the Democrat party is completely captured.

We're Living Through Something Significant: The Great Realignment
"A very exciting event and successful event in Idaho Falls. This last weekend, and we had a kind of private meet and greet. And it moved me greatly, and I came to a realization that we're living through something significant. Historic realignment. Started to take questions from the audience and the audience was very upset with the two Republican senators from Idaho. Senator crapo and senator rish, they feel as if they're not fighting hard enough that one of them is one of the big cheerleaders of the Ukrainian conflict. The United States funding of the Ukrainian conflict, hard to disagree with that. And so then I asked a question, I said, who here in this room? Not mind, these are 200. Christian, conservative, maga, voters, very conservative. I said, who here has favorable opinions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? And almost every hand goes up, enthusiasm. They're clapping. Over the top, I said, who here has favorable opinions about Joe Rogan about half the room is excited? And I said, wait a second. So you in this room here today with Christian Christian conservative, you could call them hard right maga types. You're more excited about a Democrat running for the presidency than two Republican senators. I said, this is interesting. Why is this? And I said, what about Elon Musk? And some of them were a little bit mixed on Elon, but they said generally fine. And he said, how about Russell brand or Glenn greenwald, but I was getting at is I saw in real time and I see this in every pocket of the country I traveled to. Saw this, by the way, in Naples, Florida, where I say Bobby Kennedy junior's name and people get excited. Is I believe we're about to see a true and legitimate realignment. Now, look, you guys know we have a two system, two party system of government. And that's not the norm everywhere in Britain. There are three national parties. In Israel, they have coalition government. When a realignment happens in America, it's historically very significant, usually happens for a reason. The last major realignment. That we saw was 1976, 19 80 election with Jimmy Carter.

Royal Drama: King’s fractious family on stage at coronation
"As King Charles the third joins as many as 2800 guests for his coronation on May 6th at Westminster Abbey, his complicated family will once again take center stage. There's a second wife and embarrassing brother and an angry son and daughter in law all with allies who aren't shy about whispering family secrets in the ears of friendly reporters. How King Charles manages his family drama over the coming weeks and years is crucial to the king's efforts to preserve and protect the 1000 year old hereditary monarchy, editor of majesty magazine, Joe little, says Charles ongoing family drama was never going to just disappear. I think it was a nervous that when Charles became king, the loss of the personal stuff would come back to haunt him. Royal historian Robert Lacey says the standards were set too high. The British monarchy is supposed to be representative. And that used to be thought to mean it's got to be ideal. It's got to behave in an absolutely immaculate fashion. Well, that wasn't realistic and proved not to be realistic. In fact, Lacey believes Charles fractious family may be easier for the British public to identify with. But I think most people in Britain find an imperfect and honest family, easier to live with. Karen Chammas, London

On a three day trip to Hungary, Pope Francis outlined his vision for the future of Europe. In a carefully calibrated speech, Francis blasted what he called adolescent belligerents that brought war back to Europe. He said the continent must recover its founding spirit of peaceful unity to confront Russia's war in Ukraine. Francis addressed Hungary's top leadership, whose lukewarm support for Ukraine has rankled other European Union countries.

There was very little discussion in today's hearing about whether they could render a fair verdict guilty or innocent. If convicted, Bowers could receive a death sentence.

"Big Roberts for this. It looks like dark turning is a spray stuff together face. Jake the snake Roberts. It's pandemonium. Jacob. Goodness. Shake the snake. Has just DDT dark journey. As I mentioned, that was Joel watts on color. So Joel and I did that. That was the hot show. That was awesome. And here's the other thing about Jake. He didn't want to do it and how to do it. And the timing was just there. It's like saying, well, could he have done that DDT or dark journey a little earlier? It would be just as effective, probably not. He didn't stay too long. He got his business done and it was effective. You saw the great marketing example of research, shall we say, because the crowd was on their feet, they were jumping up and down. Yeah, they're going crazy. So instead of a real good match, a good serious was slater. Dickie was crazy. But boy, he's the hell of a worker, what he was motivated. So much a can of Terry funk was dick slater that it was kind of frightening at times. I'm not saying Nick slater was better than Terry found because I don't know if anybody in any incarnation was better than Terry funk, quite frankly. But boy, it was something else that was a hot night. It was good. Here's the deal. The angle worked. And it worked because the two talents executed an ad lib. And people take that for granted. Okay. Well, sure. They make it look easy. Especially Jake Roberts makes it look easy. But it wasn't easy. And they're floating by the seat of their pants. And I got all of respect in the world for guys like Jake Roberts. And still do, like I said, I think he's an asset that somebody could utilize for seminars or whatever, because he understands the basic fundamentals of pro wrestling, and unfortunately, that's not the case with everybody. They're not many of those Jake Roberts guys left. So anybody that's not taking advantage of that. It's making a mistake in my opinion. And to your point, you are about the ad lib and feeling the crowd. I mean, even what he was doing with the referee. If you get in front of me, one more time. That was just great. That was Eddie Gilbert's dad, Tommy. Yeah. They star in Memphis or years here, so this is a nice work for cowboy. And then when it's resting days are over, a cowboy medium of referee, Antony was a real good referee. He understood the business. Another guy that we had a lot of our young talents had the luxury of being in the ring with, even though Tommy was in the ring as a referee. We can't even though WWE doesn't still just acknowledge the names of the referees. Yeah. So I don't understand that quite frankly. Officials, they're all officials. I'm not going to go in some tiring about it. Bottom line is, I think if anybody's on your TV show, whether it be a ring announcer like a Justin Roberts or whether it be referees, they're stars. Give them a brand. If you don't position them as somebody special, look, they're working for you. That's right. You put them on television. So why aren't they being recognized? It's the question. I'm with you too. I mean, then think about later on in their career when they want to do an autograph show. If nobody knows their name, what does it matter? At least they have their name. Their brand, and you've helped promote that through the years. You know, you think about the great referees Earl Hebner, Mike chioda, whoever, people know their names. So yes, I want to go see meet him. If you don't know any of the officials, then how do you know their brand or who they are for them in their future too? I don't know. I'm with you. So before we get up on that tangent, so let's talk more about this mid south run. This was red hot, the territory was crazy. By the way, for those that didn't see the video, Jim Ross is full tux tuxedo in the middle of the ring for that whole exchange, as I said, you're just woven throughout Jake's career. Tell us a little bit about the heat with Jake and Bill watts when he left the territory. Well, not unlike a lot of guys, you know, it's either about cash or creative. You know, overanalyze the shit out. This doesn't matter. But generally speaking, one wrestlers leave a territory and it's acrimonious. It has to do with one of the two seas. Cash or creative or both. So I think that's where that was. I don't think it was anything really extraordinarily unique or different. But the other thing too is that Bill realized that Jake was not the average bear. He was smart. And probably would have been a hell of a Booker. But, you know, it's not how the car at the hand was played. But I don't think anything all out of the ordinary for those two guys. Okay. A cowboy was going to do it his way, and Jake on his way was the right way. And Jake may have been absolutely spot on. But I don't think it's extraordinarily unique, quite frankly. Cash had created pretty well cover those answers. Gotcha. Well, it moves Jake moves forward and it moves forward in a big way for him, JR, because he gets his big break that he's been looking for, joining the WWF in 1986. He already had the snake moniker for several years at this point, but this is one start bringing in the actual snake with him to the ring too. So what did you think about this whole twist in dynamic? Obviously the Vince McMahon and WWF influence, hey, pal, you're going to bring a snake with you. What did you think about that? Well, I sure as Vince's idea in a collaborative effort with Jake as well, Jake, I think, was lucky in as much as most promoters would not have dealt with snake. Its maintenance has got to travel. It's got to eat. You know, it's got to be protected and all these things. And when you got a crew of wrestlers that are Henri and wanting to.

"They replaced Jimmy cagney with Burl Ives, which we all should know who girl lives was. He was the voice of frosty the snowman. Oh yeah. And actually a great actor. It was fantastic in the big country. And then they replaced Doc William Powell with Walter Matthau. So small world again, Walter Matthau was most frequent partners at collaborators in films. And then the rest of the cast was rounded out by Larry Hagman and JR Ewing. James coco and a very, very young Jack Nicholson. So it's not funny. It's not funny as nearly as good as this film. And then they made a series TV series in the 1960s as well that really was not that good either. So I would say stick with this movie. Yeah, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but go with the original. Yeah. And what about the cast? You had a couple of things to say. Yeah, I mean what else? Yeah, since it doesn't depict any real people, it's hard to say, as far as casting goes, I think casting is outstanding in this film. Again, Henry fond is a little old to play the part, but it's his part. So you just I think I've said enough about that. Jack Lemmon is immaculately cast as instant pulver. William Powell, if you're going to go out, have a really, I mean a deep, sensitive role where you get to be funny and you get to be you get to do some acting. Jimmy cagney. Yeah, he's Jimmy cagney. So if he's not playing, if he's not playing a song in dance man or a gangster, well, I don't think there's anything else he can play as good as he does in this film. Did he have many films after this? Or was this one of his last? He had a couple of dozen films after this. He actually continued making films until about 1980 ragtime, whatever your rectangle I think those 80 or 82 was. Yeah, something like that. That's incredible. Wow. Yeah, he actually around this time or maybe a little bit earlier, he.

"And he tells him that he just tells him I threw the palm. He demanded why the movie has been evening. Captain then groans. He's knowing that he's going to have the same trouble with pulver that he did with a comedy to lighten it up at the end. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And apparently the palm tree incidents did occur. On the original authorships. So that truly did apparently happen. All right, well, we made it through that one really quick, Sean. Final thoughts. Yeah, interesting notes. So John Ford, we've talked about quite a bit. And this will explain why John Ford and mervyn Leroy directed the film. So in Marvin Leroy, so John Ford was, we've talked about John Ford's personality and his moods and his nature on the previous film on they were expendable. But he was just noted for just a pretty foul attitude in general and being pretty abusive towards actors and towards crew. We're not really towards crew, but really towards actors. Being very tough on them to the borderline abusiveness and he didn't put up with any hairs from anyone at all. He was in a really foul mood throughout the film. He had conflicts with Jimmy cagney and Henry Fonda. Now, of course, we said 40 cagney had worked together once before on a film just a few years before and there had been no issues, but when John Ford picked Jimmy cagney up at the airport, he told him you and I are gonna tangle asses on this picture and which surprised me because he was didn't have any clue what he was talking about or what you never had a bad word with Ford. Cagney saw how rude and mean Ford was with the cast and he was late to the set on the first and the second day of shooting a few minutes. And Ford just launched into him and just started screaming and berating him. Cagney cut him short and said, when I started this picture, you said that we would tangle glasses before. This is over. I'm ready now. Are you and Ford back down and was on his best behavior, at least with cagney for the rest of the picture. So cagney stood up to him. His cagney was not going to put up with it. And then, of course, she'd worked with bond on all those films, and it got into the job, but they ended up getting into an argument as filming went on because I think Fonda had some ideas about how you should play the role that he knew. And Ford wasn't going to have any of it. And so he ended up punching fondant in the jaw. But then he shortly after that he ruptured his gallbladder, shortly after that fight, he had to leave the film for a period for emergency surgery. So it could have been that he was feeling ill. And it was just making him cranky. Who knows? So mervyn Leroy worked for the studio from Warner Brothers. We know Marvin Leroy from 30 seconds over Tokyo. He directed that film. So he stepped in to direct portions of the film while John Ford was out..

"After having his adjutant read the muster list, he determines that Roberts must be the culprit. So he calls mister Roberts to the captain's room to his own room, but before he can even charge him with the crime. Captain is overcome with nausea. Roberts. He actually accuses Roberts of doing it and tells him that he's broken the agreement they made for Roberts to obey him and even after he gave them in their liberty, but he does not realize that he has left the ship's intercom mic on. It's in his room. That's important. Yeah, so the crew actually hears about the sacrifice the robbers made for them so that they could get a liberty. Yes, very important detail then. Yes. And then he realizes that the mic was on and he's caught. And then that's when he starts to throw up to his waist basket. Yeah, he's like, blah. Roberts calls in the dock to help the captain, and as Sean said, he vomits into his own wastebasket. Doc puts the captain his bunk to relax and as mister Roberts walks down to the deck, the crew knowing that he discarded the palm tree for them and then he made the sacrifice for them to not just the palm tree. They all salute him and they politely bid him good night. And then we see a few days later, mister Roberts is packing his things. The crew has actually forged the captain's name, proving a transfer for him, which will send him to the front line in the Pacific. Before he leaves, Dolan informs him that the captain is replaced the palm tree and has put a 24 hour guard on it. Doc and Robert sheriff's sorrowful goodbye, and it's Roberts gets ready to meet the transfer vessel, a few of the crew, give him a medal they'd made. And this is really a nice touching gesture. It's a gaudy brass palm tree hanging from a ribbon. The order of the palm tree. Roberts is overcome with gratitude and he pins it to his shirt. He walks with dignity out to the boat that will take him off the ship. He salutes the crewman and leaves thoughts Sean commentary. Just a good nice scene there. Yeah, it's touching and of course everybody that's watching the movie for the first time wonders what's going to happen next..

"Officer. He wants him to become more of a buy the book leader. He wants to work the crew to their limits. So no more mister nice guy, mister soft guy. And Robert says no choice, and he agrees. The captain then allows the crew to go on liberty. And do they ever go on liver to they do it in style? The crew become highly drunk, raucous, and destructive on the island. Many of them are arrested and brought back to the ship by army MPs. They have to be a number of them had to be hauled the board on a cargo net with the crane. They're too drunk. That's a great scene. In some cases, Roberts lets them go right back out again. And then he tells Doc that for the first time, the men of the ship are really accrue, not just individuals. And some of the men break into the home of the French colonial governor, and they wreak havoc there a small detachment of army MPs show up and form a cordon around the ship preventing any other men from leaving. And the commanding officer has requested that captain Morton see the admiral stationed on the island in the morning. So he's a big trouble, obviously you can guess this captain is not going to be happy about it. This is one of the funniest scenes in movie history. The MP EP's played by Martin Miller and we will see him later in and actually earlier film the sands of Iwo Jima. When he was very young actor, but if you're a fan of TV Land, you see route 66 and Adam 12. You've seen Martin Miller. He was the star of both of those shows. He plays an Alabama army lieutenant who's in charge of the MPs and he talks at the draw and he is as if you makes you feel any better. I went where I said, this is the worst ship he's ever seen in his entire naval career. Yeah, that makes me feel better. Yeah. It's just hilarious. Through a bus to ball Zach, you know, the French rider out the window. Cab driver told him it was, well, it was a place, but what they call it in Alabama. Well, they call it the same as in Nebraska. Yeah. It's just a great hilarious scene that is just so funny. It's just chaos. It's like a Marx brothers thing. Yeah. Well, captain Morton returns from the meeting furious. He and the crew have been ordered to leave port immediately so bad that they have to shove off, he commands Roberts to make good on his promise of becoming a stricter officer, which mister Roberts does. For example, when one of the crew a man named Dolan approaches Roberts with what may be good news, that officers that have a requisite number of months experience may apply for transfer uncontested, which you'd think that would make mister Roberts happy, but instead he angrily threatens to put Dolan on report. Snaps at him, all of her dock and several crewmen discussed the change in Roberts, which they do not understand. And this makes mister Roberts have said he's very upset by the fact that he snapped at this man and he's upset that he had to enforce discipline when a crew member did deserve it. So he has another talk with Doc. Doc tries to reason with mister Roberts. And mister Roberts does not reveal the deal he'd made with the captain, and just then Paul ver burst in with the news that Germany is surrendered in Europe. But mister Roberts is indifferent about the news, but he is overjoyed when pulver tells him he'll celebrate by putting a powerful firecracker under the captain's bunk..

He takes them on a tour of the ship, but during the tour, the nurse is realized that the man can see into their showers with the binoculars. Right away, as they say, hang window curtains. Yeah. All right. Over has all these pillows that he puts on his bunk. Right. And like they just did horribly to portray his like one of them has a picture of the Arizona on it. It's just terrible. In some ways. Right. All right, so let's see. Okay, so Roberts goes over to the captain's headquarters. He requests liberty for the crew, and the captain allows the ship to make port at elysium, which is an island, tropical Paradise, but then he announces that the liberty has been canceled. And this just really sets off mister Roberts. He's infuriated. He storms in the captain's quarters, and he demands to know why the liberty was canceled. He insults the captain, the captain threatens him with court martial. And then the captain tells mister Roberts a bit of his own history. He talks about he was a busboy for several years. He received poor treatment from his customers. Then he became a ship steward and the poet treatment continued, and he worked his way up through the ranks. He did not go to college and he's kind of an old navy kind of guy and he sees mister Roberts who is a college graduate as a representative of those who treated him badly as a youth. And now he seeks to pay them back. So essentially, the captain is trying to get back at all the people that mistreated him through mister Roberts. Yeah. And he actually, he's got a kind of a grudge against the navy because he was not in the navy before he was in the merchant marine. During the war, experienced ship commander ship captains and crews were actually taken from the merchant marine and brought into the military transport command in the navy, the navy's transport command because they needed experienced naval captains for warships. So that's why a number of these cargo ships had merchant marine captains and officers and crews. And that's what Morton was. He was, he actually mentioned earlier, he did things different in the merchant marine. You respected your captain and that sort of thing. And he's just, he's just a blowhard. But, you know, he's also he's a he does not like Roberts because of these college boy. And he has a prejudiced against that. Yeah, and so then the captain decides to cut a deal with mister Roberts. He says he will grant them liberty if mister Roberts will stop his efforts to obtain a transfer, and if he'll.

"That's the same one where they've been watching and pulver sees his chance to find a pretty nurse. Possibly whoo her. He visits the hospital. He meets a nurse and invites her to tour the ship and she agrees if he has scotch. He's got a bottle of scotch. She says she'll come to be there, so. That's so funny. And he says, oh, I do it. It's actually mister Roberts scotch, but what he doesn't realize. He goes through mister Roberts locker, looking for a shoe box, which had the bottle of scotch and it's gone. He can't find it. If mister Roberts is giving it away, what was the exact situation? I want to say it was like whoever it was that was responsible for giving assignments out. And he traded him, he gave him a bottle of scotch on behalf of the captain and so that he could get sent to one of the standard places where they have shortly. One of the standard islands where there's shortly. So he goes, he's trying to go around the captain by getting orders to go to a place where they have where they can do a liberty. And to captain just can't say no. So right. But while he's looking for that bottle of scotch and not finding it, he hears that mister Roberts is once again requested to transfer and pulver doesn't want him to go. So I'll find the letter through which he's requesting the transfer and he hides it. Then mister Roberts comes back and he learns that Culver has invited a nurse to the ship, promising her scotch, but there is no scotch as we've already seen. So Doc and mister Roberts decided to help pulver by making scotch out of grain alcohol, Coke, Coca-Cola, that is. Iodine, and hair tonic. Yeah, I love the palaces. I always thought that scotch had an iodine taste to it. It's just really, it's because they originally had grain alcohol. It was just clear ever clear, basically. And had the Coca-Cola. He had a bottle of Coca-Cola stashed in his into Foot Locker that he's saving. Although I was like, a, it must be flat and B, it's not cold, but. The hair tonic is the best part. And it works. It turns out pretty close. So yeah. James here, and now a brief word from our sponsors. Pulver then asks Roberts, what do you think of him? And Robert tells him straight up, you're likeable, but your hapless, your disorganized, your lazy, Robert tells Paul the first time he finishes something that he starts, you know, that one of these schemes, if he carries it out, he won't respect him as a man. And mister Roberts finds out that pulver has hidden his letter, requesting a transfer, and he takes it back. And Doc thinks that Roberts is foolish requesting a transfer, of course. So then we touched on that earlier. Not everybody has mister Roberts's burning desire to be in combat. Absolutely does not want to be anywhere close to come. He doesn't even really want to be in the navy. Right. So it's touching scene. There's some good banter back and forth between the characters and they have personality..

"I forgot. Watched it about a week ago. The sun code phrase when the captain is coming. He keeps walking by and keeps walking by and they keep because of what they're doing is they're supposed to be scraping the deck and one of them is supposed to be cleaning all the binoculars in the rangefinders. And there's one telescope that they're using. And then they get into a fight which mister Roberts breaks up. So talk about this scene, Sean. I mean, it's just a hilarious scene. I mean, it's straight out of the play. You know, these are young men. Yeah, haven't seen a woman for a long time. I haven't seen a woman for a long time. They haven't been off that shit for a long time. So it's just depicting just how stir crazy they're getting. And then also Roberts gets in an argument with the captain because the men are have duty in the hold in the ship's hold and captain's standing orders is no one can be shirtless. So everyone has to wear a shirt, has to be tucked in yada, yada yada. All the things captain quick said, you know, but he's like, it's hot, it's hot down there. Can we not take off our shirts? And he's sorry, you know, they can't do it. So it's good to see them. And he gets into trouble for it. He gets into trouble whenever he tries to. Whenever he tries to do anything to make things easier on the men, he gets in trouble. Yeah, mister Roberts is a very kind hearted man. Whereas the captain is definitely not. Yeah. And the captain has his lack of kindness in his strictness. He's got some issues and we'll talk about those a little bit. All right, so then we're introduced to another one of the main characters and a friend of mister Roberts. Maybe his closest friend, younger man, this is Ensign Frank thurlow Palmer, played by a very young Jack Lemmon. You know, I had not seen this movie until we started preparing for this series, Sean. And I'm so glad that we did this and I'm so glad I was able to watch it because I always just think of Jack Lemmon as this really old man. But he's so young in this. He's young, yeah. It just looks like a different man almost. I love Jack lemon so much that I often go through my day, especially when I'm in a particularly good mood singing. That's the song that he keeps coming. So mister Roberts, he likes pulver a lot. He really likes him but he's quick to point out that pulver isn't a very effective leader is a disorganized person in general. He talks about how he sleeps 16 hours a day. I think he says he's the laziest person alive. Hides out from the captain, the captain barely even knows that he exists. And pulver despises the captain as much as the rest of the crew and he often talks about schemes to know him, play tricks on him, but he never follows through on any of them. He says he wants to put some ball bearings in the wardrobe above the captain's bed.

"And he says that there were one and a quarter million Americans serving in the Pacific and the Asian theaters. Now, over 40% of these saw no action at all and he said, quote, working in the vast support organizations necessary to maintain armies fleets and air forces, thousands of miles from home. And so that's the very definition of what the reluctant and its crew is doing. They are nowhere near the combat zone, but they have a vital role. They have a very critical and important role. It just doesn't seem like it, because it's a tedious drudgery work. And but that's something to think about is you think about those who were in combat and it's estimated that maybe 35% of enlisted men and 40% of American officers served combat in some role, but in the Pacific it was very different than in the European theater in that if you were in combat quote unquote, like you said like I said about my great uncle who was a machinist in a destroyer escort, they were at the battle of lady golf, he couldn't tell me anything about it because his battle station was down in the belly of the ship and so unless you actually were on a naval ship on a gun firing aircraft gun firing or in an airplane or one of the marines are soldiers going on to shore. Your combat role, even if you were in combat, you may not have actually experienced much of it. So there's a lot of men and women who served in the war in the Pacific who just never saw the war. So to speak, what they saw was that waiting in the timeless repetitive waiting. Yeah, and Roberts's Friends, I don't want to get too far ahead, but they try to convince him of how important his service is and how he doesn't need to be in combat, but he's just determined. He's determined to be in it. Do we need to talk about, let's see. We haven't had cagney or Henry Fonda. You want to just talk a little bit about them? I mean, most people know who they are, but there may be a few folks. Yeah, Henry Fonda was a major star in the 1930s and 40s. They actually the best movie about Abraham Lincoln ever made was John Ford movie called young mister Lincoln and Henry Fonda played him. If you haven't, if you're a history buff and you have not seen that movie, you need to seek it out because of some magnificent film. He was in a number of great films of the grapes of wrath is one of the classics, but he'd walked away from Hollywood because he was tired of the system and so he went back to performing in place. So he was 49 years old when he made this movie. He was actually a little old for the part of that's way too old to be a lieutenant junior. But again, he knew the part. You know, he knew the part backwards and forwards. So, you know, there's no reason not to cast him in this film. It's like, it's like the decision that people tried to make to not cast to not cast the music man, you know, with the, what's the music man? And everyone said, yeah, they offered it to carry grant. And he said, you're insane. Bob Powell is the man to play. I mean, bob Preston is the man to play..

"Pacific. In the navy register, it is listed as the reluctant, but to its crew, it is known as the bucket. The man of the navy cargo ship, USS reluctant or hard at work moving supplies and resupplying other ships of the U.S. Navy. Lieutenant commander Morton, who is the captain of the ship, that's James Cagney. He's a mean spirited exacting and tyrannical officer. Recently, the reluctant was recognized for moving the most cargo of any resupply ship in the fleet. The reward for their efforts is a single palm tree, which was given to Morton. The tree is displayed proudly on the four deck by captain Morton and the result of the recognition is that the captain is now become more tyrannical than ever. He absolutely refuses to let the crew have a standard liberty. Shortly. So yeah, what about this? Is this kind of a stock character would you say, Sean, you know, the cruel captain? Is captain quick? It's way back to captain bly from mutiny on the bounty. You know, it's a little bit of captain ahab as well. So, you know, it's that character. But apparently apparently Hagen had a real commander of a ship who was a bit of a pain to deal with and they really did get it palm tree from moving the most cargo of any resupply ship. Yeah. Wow. It's funny because all three of these movies were doing these naval movies from the 50s have a captain that's, if not tyrannical, then just weird. Driven. Yeah, I think, and that's the thing. You're going to find three different three different facets of that perception. This guy, Morton is a martinet. He's an absolute, he's an absolute tyrant, whereas, but it's okay because it's a comedy. The navy was concerned about Queen. In the book, captain quig in the Kane mutiny was actually a tyrant, was just it was just insane. And the navy wanted to make sure that it was not perceived that they had crazy officers. It was battlefield. So that's why they made some changes in the film. So, but cagney's not nuts. He's just me. And so the irony is, of course, Chad Ford had a reputation for being just more like Morton than he did for being like mister Roberts. Yeah, that's funny..

"I'm sorry. Yeah, so his background. So hegan had served as a junior officer on board cargo ships in the South Pacific, and he based the characters in some of the events on real life experiences and even used some names. Apparently the real life over in St. Paul was a career navy man who threatened to sue him for including his name. Oh man, the story. Mister Roberts was his only novel. He died at the age of 30 in 1949, drowning in his bathtub after an overdose of sleeping pills. So unfortunately, a sad life for mister haggin and he actually was suffering from writer's block when he was 28 passed away. So tragic story there. Now the play was a great success on Broadway. It started Henry Fonda, who was a Hollywood star who had left Hollywood to perform in this play, left a contract. And he was gone from Hollywood for about 8 years. It ran for 1157 performances, won the Tony Award in 1948 for the best play and it earned Henry Fonda a best actor, Tony as well. So Warner Brothers pictures, they picked up the option for a film version of the play. They didn't want to cast Henry Fonda. They felt he was too old and he was no longer a box office draw by the mid 50s because he had been gone. He'd been in Broadway. They wanted to cast either William Holden or Marlon Brando for the role, which you think, oh, Marlon Brando, but remember in 1955, he was a very young handsome young actor. So, but the John Ford, who was tapped to direct the film, he insisted that Henry Fonda was the only person that he wanted for the part of mister Roberts. He had directed Fonda in a number of great films in the 1930s and 40s and young mister Lincoln, the grapes of wrath, films along the Mohawk, my darling Clementine, and board Apache. So get a track record with Henry Fonda, but he also knew that Fonda knew the part backwards and forwards. The other actors in the film, Jack Lemmon, who is probably my favorite actor of the time period. He just started appearing in films. He was mostly known as a radio and Broadway actor and a TV actor at the time and he was a comedic actor, obviously. Ford cast Jack Lemmon after seeing a screen test. He did for Columbia Pictures, where lemon was under contract, but he had a special deal where he was able to do other projects like plays and TV shows and even films for other studios. So Ford was able to get Warner to bring lemon over to get loaned over to work on this film. And then William Powell actually William Powell is probably as famous a Hollywood legend as those other three guys. He was famous as for his partnership with Myrna Loy. They were Nick and Nora, Charles in the thin man suit..

I will confiscate it from her. How are you. I am well. Thank you so much. Thank you for doing this with me. We'll have time. Oh i plan to. I came makeup. Also we we love to see it. Okay so i'm trying to figure out where i wanna start so this is me like we're getting to know each other and i feel most comfortable when i know there's someone has a little bit of petty their spirit a little eve behavior in their spirit and so i just want to know what is like an area of your life. Wear you know better but you likes struggling to do better. But that's all right. Because jesus paid at all. Ooh okay so. I actually have an acronym for patty because sometimes it's petty on site from me or some sizes teddy on purpose so i'll be even Lingerie ame even now but I know i'm one of those people who just needs to be left alone. Suffic- you in st. Sometimes it's like. I'll put my life only. I'm one of those people out purposely drops out so nobody can see when a time. I like on it so lake. You know being able to fellowship outside of the ministry. Sometimes he working on me working. I'll be work is what i hear you saying. Is that you are a member of mind your business ministries and that one someone comes around you and bite them to mind their business by making you go the other direction. Is that what. I'm only edges edges still there a minds business. We have to keep our piece though like lists and that's what like when my daughter knocks on my door and i'm right there doing absolutely nothing. I don't have to answer. It teaches her. That i don't have to answer every time. She knocks on the door. I'm teaching her character. Yes boundaries boundaries boundaries needham. She already we all need a little bit about algiers so india and you are one. You're the oldest children let's talk about boundaries. Since i don't. I believe i probably introduce them to the family But they pretty much didn't really exist. I feel like a exists okay. So you're the youngest fifteen. Not the oldest. I am the youngest of the wound. Not oliver's we weren't all raised in the same house you know i have is seven of us on my mom's side and the remaining on my dad's but i'm the youngest of all fifteen children so yes that's still plenty of people to grow up around like that allow. What was that like for you. Growing up around that many people will have villages but the villages are usually fifteen total fifteen during. What was that like. You know what to be. Honest if i'm totally transparent. It was not as chaotic with like the numbers of the parts of faint. Because being the baby in because like my dad was actually in my life for most of i didn't really i wasn't really raised around a lot of my siblings Most of them are significantly. Older like i have similar old enough to be my patriot. I have nieces nephews so it was at times. I think i've struggled a little bit. Just trying to figure out what my place was Because there were so many. Yeah so that's funny 'cause like what i talk about. The eve may know compassionate about the story of eve was like thinking about his idea of her coming into a world that was already created. It already had it systems and functions. Everything had its own name and yet she was supposed to lack figure out where chief fit in the midst of it. Can you remember like your earliest moment of feeling like man. Maybe i don't fit or mo that maybe your earliest moment of like insecurity where you wonder. Where do i fit in the big scheme of my family circle in dynamic definitely i would say right before i got the middle school. I definitely remember that only. Because i've always felt like i was the black sheep of the family literally And it wasn't until more recently that i felt like i had made peace with being different like my mom always told your different your different. I've always had the olso always bid like i've been here before i've always been the mature went out among friends on the block in everywhere so it was almost like this thing of me feeling like there's no space for me. There is no place for me name that it was all i recently started learning is located of space and that are always at a place i just hadn't understood where space was that i was the black sheep I learned something from her. Name is ties speaks. She said you weren't the black sheet. You just the blueprint in. I feel like that. Just like freed me so much. So the s. and security starting off when i was liking. Why before the middle school. So you have said a word. You're free star word being when you say that you weren't aware your space was but then you had to challenge up to take up space athem holy ghost be Is so many as don't take up space until we find our space and then we live frustrated. Because feel like there's no boom from me now recognizing that you create room for you when you step into the authenticity of who you are and it sounds like that's what you're stepping into now. Yes like i can definitely say. I can feel like the shifts i can feel. Even in. atmosphere works the charge environment. Because i grew up a charge. You you listen. sometimes navigate. Church can be listed baby. We wanna talk about trauma. Yes we what it can be difficult to feel like especially win. I've learned that over time a lot of times. People think that different is divisive in a case. Like there's hey you're okay with. It's okay to be different but a lot of times if you don't have somebody.

"Roberts. Glad you're along. On this, uh, this Monday a lot of folks around the studio sort of under the weather. I don't know if I'm catching something or not, but In any case we're going to press on, Shall we? Um, the top 10 biggest lies. That the liberal media has been caught. We've caught them. We know they were lying. And why it matters. Shall we get into this? Michael Goodman did a great piece on this, Um Yeah. The latest lie to die is this false claim? Do you see this? Last week? The feds cleared Lafayette Park of protesters last year. So then President Trump could have a little photo op. The Interior Department's inspector general says no, no. The police plan to clear the park. So a contractor Could get to work installing offense. It was a decision totally unrelated to Trump's walk to that historic church. The ultimately was burned in a riot. So if that debunking feels a little bit familiar, it's not your imagination. Only the details differ from early the earlier cases where the media mob got it all wrong. Sadly, the truth usually emerges, not because of the press. But despite it You know, Take this growing acceptance of the idea that Covid 19 Started with a leak from a lab in Wuhan, China. The idea was always plausible. But the press And big tech. They declared it a conspiracy theory. Remember that? Oh, yeah, these these people, you know, they've all been abducted by UFOs. Um, and they snuffed it out. Even though Trump was investigating. But after China couldn't prove the virus jumped from bats to Humans to Volkswagen's or whatever they said the lab leak theory. Started gaining some, uh some credibility, right? Suddenly it became acceptable to share it on Facebook. The idea that maybe this was from a leak in Wuhan. Which, of course we all know Facebook appoints itself guardian of everything that is proper in American discourse. Um The pattern is so pronounced that it's easy to assemble your own list of top 10 and I'm going to ask you to do that a little bit. Top 10 media lies. And I'm not mincing words. I'm not saying suppositions or theories or opinions. I'm saying the top 10 media lies. So the recent cases involving Lafayette Square that were just disproved last week and the lab leak. Um, the Our Trump's a conspiracy nut, You know, he's a Russian spy booting and, Yeah, they're related. Um, number eight and nine. Number one is the oldest and perhaps the biggest media lie. Trump colluded with Russia to win in 2016. And he might even be a Russian agent. That scam involved crooked FBI agents led to the appointment of special counsel Mueller, who took two years and millions of taxpaying dollars to conclude no. There is no evidence to back that charge. Yet this this whole investigation Had enormous impact. With that constant drumbeat of anonymous leaks out of the Trump White House, helping Democrats take the house in 2000 and 18. I mean, imagine what he, uh I even asked him this when I talked to him. What if you never had to deal with that Just do the job here and he said, uh, I wake up some mornings. Feeling that way. You know, even even before that one was gone. Distortions were all over the place. Remember line number two, the Muslim ban. That wasn't and I can hear some of you saying, Well, I thought he'd ban the Muslims. No number three the mantra that the 2017 tax cuts were for only for the rich. Remember that Yeah, Yeah, the tax cuts. Well, it only went to the race went to it. What was that? I hear all the time only went to his rich friends. Even though a government study Showed 80% of the population benefited. You must have a lot of rich friends. How about the kids in the cage Firestorm that even made it to the frump the front cover of Time magazine. Photographs of migrant Children. In metal containers. Well, that was that was like line number four. And it was the hottest story going, especially after the time magazine cover Democrats like Alexandria. Okay, so I'm an idiot. Cortez rushing to the border, right? Well, that whole up evil kind of vanished. When it was revealed the Obama Biden administration actually built the cages. And those heart wrenching photos. We saw a little boy. I think they were from 2014. Yeah. Apologies. Corrections retractions. They all came flooding in right. You gotta be kidding, Big media and big tech. Too big to admit error. Big media and big tech are too big to fail. Even now, with all these surgeons of young people at the border, the press doesn't complain about buying Biden banning their cameras. That's not German journalism that's complicity. You know, I thought about this the other day. All these tough questions The press is supposed to ask on your behalf. To the commander in chief, the president, United States If you don't believe me, just go back in the archives and look how they hammered Trump and with Biden It's what's your favorite flavor of ice cream. It's a joke. Line number five. Remember this one? This was a dandy, the Ukraine impeachment of Trump. Now this Would rival some of the best written fiction we've ever seen. It was based on a complaint from an anonymous member of the Swamp who never testified, But others did to say the president in trying to get information on the Biden family. Um, corruption in Ukraine was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor, You know, a first year law student? The just enrolled last week and still hasn't purchased all these books yet. Could blow this thing out of the water. Especially with Biden on tape. Claiming to have done what they were accusing Trump of doing. What Trump actually did was threaten the scam. Joe Biden and Hunter created that involves selling the suggestion. That Joe's influence His influence is vice president could be had by hiring Hunter. Now That's the sort of thing that reporters are supposed to expose, not protect. Well, I've got more. The top 10 biggest lies. The media has been caught. That's the key phrase. These are not suppositions. These are not theories. These are not opinions. We actually caught the media in these lies. Next. This is.
