Sure, but I mostly use them for my ears every morning. Don't cut corners with Q tips. Don't go bargain. I agree with Jake. And Tom, you guys are exactly right. I've been to very nice hotels and they have their non brain brand name Q tips. They're like golf pencils. The Q tip people, whoever you are, thank you and God bless you. That and the band aid people. Get their name brand. Okay, you gotta go for the name brands. Have you seen the picture of the guy that has the Q tip beer? Yeah, it looks ridiculous. It's not as cool as the B beard. Well, certainly not as risky. The bee beard, the bee beards kind of terrifying. Cotton's not gonna bite you. It's not the same thing at all. No, yeah, it really isn't because the beer many people without beards do the bee beard. Right. Let's start there. Yeah, but the bee looks like the guy's a monster. Well, looks like his face full of bees. I don't know. What is scary? I've never seen candy man. He has bees that come out of his mouth and so they crawl over his face. He means business. Don't say his name. Isn't that right? That candyman or no. Yeah, no, you don't want to look in a mirror and say his name. Why? What happens? He shows up. Will appear? What are you doing? What if you just happen to look into a reflective surface like your friend's sunglasses and then you say, will that catch you? I don't think so, but there's no reason to mess around.

"Ain't gonna play Sun City, little Steven Artists against apartheid. Anybody? Anybody remember that? I mean, I am old enough to remember it. I'm trying to think if it came out in the eighties. And it was a movement by artists to say We're not going to play Sun City now. Sun City was a tourist. Um, attraction. In in South Africa. Beautiful casinos, um, beautiful hotels. All of this. And so what artists against apartheid was saying Was. We're not going to play Sun City. We're not going to perform there. So you won't have any entertainment when you go there, and obviously apartheid was eventually ended. In South Africa. Where are these artists now? Where are they now? When it comes to China? I do remember that Frank Sinatra, Danny, of All people, I think ignored The the ban on Sun City. And he performed there and then he was going to do a concert. I think in Sweden and Sweden was going to find him. For playing in Sun City, and they were going to find him in order to play a concert in Sweden. And he said I won't play in Sweden neither. I don't care 1987. Yeah, and by the way, Frank Sinatra was one of those guys who way back when When Sammy Davis Jr toured with him, Frank Sinatra would say to hotels that would say Oh, yeah, but Sammy can't stay here then Frank would say then. I'm not saying here. So it's not as if Frank Sinatra was, you know, supporting apartheid. So anyway. Where are all of these celebrities and these entertainers today, saying, I'm not going to play China? Until they stop the genocide. You could say in South Africa. It was a it was a form of genocide. I mean, you could say that, but I mean there's actual genocide in China right now. There's slavery in China right now. Where's Hollywood? Where are all these? You know the types who get up at the Academy Awards. Get up at the Academy Awards, and they preach to us. And they virtue signals. What about Sun City? Ah, I ain't gonna play Sun City. Yeah, let's let's play a little more. Me. I don't care what Hey, don't ask me something fit me. I got to say.

Coltrane miles davis. Sammy davis junior with perform their down here in vegas. They'd go to the west side before jackson street You know oldest ready all these guys. They won't allow for the most part to play the shows in vegas at the more glitzy. Glamorous type of venues lay down to the west side and sammy davis junior. And all those guys not only they performed there but they also stayed there because at the time here vadis in the sixties and such it was still segregated so black. Performer could not dress in the dressing room as the white performance. They could not stay in the hotel where they were performing that they were going to be performing there so after they got done. A piece in the white folks. Sammy davis junior. And those guys come. Across to jackson street on the west side here in vegas and they do their thing over over here and really get down and get loose. You know the harlem club in miami. That's another one. So much documentary will be a how awesome in the stories that could be told about not just playing in those venues but just dealing with life the way that they did these things going from place to place. And how do they all the times. The relationships that were formed during these times talk about you know the time that they spent for instance if they were going to be staying performing at the apollo theater how stating at the theresa hotel. This was the situation where malcolm x. had a rented space there to do things i mean you have great black thinkers in and black folks doing their thing in that area. How do they mix handling bengal mohammed. Ali spent some time there. James brown Had a room at the theresa hotel where he stayed for a while will love to see. I would love to hear the stories about what went down during those times. And you know we're speaking about. Why black folks can't get things together. Why is it that howard theaters and others. Both of these venues that were black owned in that were open to black performers and black artists in black entertainers. Why are they no longer there to.

"He was cheating on a left and right. I think he's banged the other Kardashians too. Definitely most of the women on the NBA circuit. And Chloe needs to understand. She's not obligated to provide her child a sibling. The kids got 90 cousins that she's growing up with. And can somebody who cares about this woman, take her in your arms and tell her all the embryos in the world will not magically make Tristan Thompson respect or love you. And if anyone knows Tristan, tell them to run. Hasn't he noticed the pattern regarding what men attached to the Kardashians go through? But it's sad when you really analyze why Chloe thought so long and hard about this decision. At some point, really, at some point, she must have sat down and realized, you know what? It's just a Kylie's having a bowl. Kendall's having a ball. Kim, maybe now she is the Kanye kind of gone and Courtney had a couple of boyfriends when Scott was out there fucking around. She must be thinking to herself, no other NBA players want to sleep with me anymore. So let me get as much semen on a Tristan as I can. That's the way I see it. I really do, because once he goes, what other 6 foot 7 inch NBA star will be with Khloé Kardashian. I don't think many. And if he wasn't an NBA player, she wouldn't have a goddamn bit of interest in him. It's downright pathological how obsessed she is with black NBA players. The way the entire family fetishes black men is equally a strange to me. You can't tell me that mother is infatuated with the black guy she dates, whatever the fuck his name is. That's all nonsense. How do you go from Bruce to keeping him around while he's in your dresses and heels to suddenly joining the ranks of your daughter by being around a black guy all the time? It's nonsense. It's an accessory. And can I say something? I don't want any part of cancel culture, but Jesus. When are these women in that family going to be publicly called out for their blatant blackfishing? You know, blackfishing one white people try to make themselves shades darker through makeup and shit. That's what they're doing. They thought it countless times. Their skin changes shades every day, particularly Kim, Kylie and Khloe. There are times they are two shades darker than Sammy Davis Jr. in pictures..

"Want to make the point that Sammy Davis Jr. He was a warrior in a tough, tough time. He came up as a young kid performing and what he went through you, and I may never be able to understand. But thank God Sami did it and Mr Sinatra and I think it's safe to say and you'll hear Sammy tell you this later in the show. Is Mr Sinatra blazed the path, baby. He was the guy he knew coming from Hoboken. He knew when he was in Hoboken brought up and he was a day go and he was a wop and he was the Italians that came off. Forgive me.

"The Chicago City Council voted this week to designate the childhood home of Emmett Till a City landmark. The teenager's murder in Mississippi was a tragic and seminal moment in the civil rights movement in the 19 fifties. From member station W be easy in Chicago, Claudia Morel reports. Emmett till lived with his mom and a nondescript red brick to flat Holm in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood on the South side. The summer of 1955. He took a train down to Mississippi to visit his uncle, and for two weeks he spent his days picking cotton with his cousin. But one morning, two armed white men kidnapped till one falsely claiming that the 14 year old had whistled at his wife. Three days would pass before Till's body was found. His brutal murder was a catalyst for the civil rights movement, and so before their Woz Trayvon Martin before there was Eric Garner, there was immaterial. That's Alderman Jeanette Taylor, speaking just after the City Council here voted to make the House a landmark. We still have a real problem in this country, not addressing the brutality that has happened to black folks, but also making sure we apologize and recognize it. We will repeat history if we don't address it. These are the hard conversations that were not willing to have, which is why in this country we can't move forward. Naomi Davis is a local artist and neighborhood activists who helped lead the effort to designate the House. She says. The brutality of till's murder overshadows what she thinks is another significant part of the Emmett Till story.

Have you had a vaccine shot for the coronavirus? Mr McConnell, what percentage of people said that they have had the Corona virus vaccine shot. 0% Mr McConnell, said 40 0%. Nobody who respond to the survey has had the vaccine shot now regarding Sammy Davis Jr. Here's what happened. He campaigned tirelessly for JFK in 1960. And as reward JFK wanted him to perform at his inaugural. In fact, Sammy Davis Jr was engaged to an actress who happen to be white. He postponed the engagement because he didn't want to hurt Candies prospects in the South. Noisy campaign. Hey, postponed his wedding. JFK winds. Seventies gets wet gets gets married. Guess who gets disinvited? To the inaugural That's right. Sammy Davis did And JFK was not man enough to give him the news. Mano a mano. He asked. Franklin doctor to tell Sami the bad news. And instead of Frank, telling JFK to stick it He went to Sami. And told Sami he couldn't go to the inauguration. There's a piece in something called Bring Choir. Sammy Davis Jr kept a drug against J.

So, Tom Now you're in l A and you started working at the comedy store where you made some lifelong friends. Yeah. The comedy team stayed together. Tim and Tom for six years and and America wasn't ready for us. They weren't ready for way were funny. We didn't preacher anything. We did 11 prisons, And when you're anywhere, there was racial tension. Tim and Tom went there. And we did colleges and high schools and and as you know, the Playboy circuit of it, but wherever we went We just want to make people laugh, you know, And when the team split up it it broke my heart. After six years, I thought we were gonna be the best comedy team in American And that was my are Michael Tim one to be more of an actor. That woman broke up the act to be honest with you, but that's in the book. It is. Then after that, I ended up on the West Coast. You know, you know that because everybody gravitated To the West Coast in those days because Johnny Carson was in New York as the host of the Tonight Show, and when he went to the West Coast, That's where the comedians all gravitated cause one of germs on the thinks so, and your career was launched One appearance. Freddie Prince got a sitcom the next day. I didn't want to parents and CBS send me to a development deal the following day, and I was on my way. I never stopped working after that first tonight show But getting to the Tonight Show you had to go out on the West Coast and try to get on at the comedy store. In those days. There was no improvisation there Laugh factory. It was the only game in town and I'm telling you comedy in the seventies was a rock and roll of the seventies. Every night. Someone was getting discovered at the comedy Sir. I was on stage every night with all these unknown comedians. David Letterman, Robin Williams, Jay Leno Gallagher, Michael Keaton. The girl Waiting tables was Debra Winger. Yeah, that was great. And there's great stories about all these people that have been a part of your life in the book, of course, is well, but you talk about the comedy store. Being the only place that people would you know, really be discovered. It was the one place to go that if you got there, you were going to make it somewhere. But then you talk about Carson and you know 60% 70% of households were watching the Tonight show with Johnny Carson. And you're absolutely right. If Johnny loved you You had a career. You had a life 26 million people watch that show. Dave. I can't tell you what the pressure was. You know, I've always worked on. Yes, I told you already be positive mental attitude book I could, and I worked on being a calm Comedian who enjoyed being on stage. You know, I always used to use the the same actors if you are and you will be so I would act as if I was a very confident stand up comedian and I became one. I began to love the stage and love stand up comedy and had fun on there had always had fun every night, but that first tonight, so I can't even describe to you what that's like. His 26 million people. Watch that show if you when you when you're walking out on that show Every agent manager's Vegas buyers sitcom producers, Everybody watched that show, so one appearance could couldn't make the difference. I was in the unemployment line the night before I went on that show, and so the pressure is enormous. And not only that my mother had everybody in Harvey watching this show, so if I bomb I couldn't even go back home. Yeah, right. Exactly. Well, Ed McMahon gave you some great advice before you walked out on stage. Yeah, I was just before going on. He should remember. You know, let me digress. I get bumped three times make up and I got bumped the fourth time I'm in makeup and said the Cordova came in the producer. And then then make up and he said, I got bad news for you. And I said What he said you're going on. I don't want that story. Now you get a lump in your throat the size of a grapefruit, you know? Yeah, but ethnic man just before I went on, he said to me and I've done it my whole career, said he said, Tommy, have fun. And the audience has fun, have fun out there and the audience will have fun. It doesn't matter what's going on in your life. Just you gotta set it aside, right? Genocide and now will care even if it isn't working. I tell young comedians have fun. The fact that it's not working, and then the audience relaxes with that. So look like you're having a good time. You know that Mitzi Shore gave you the big break of the comedy store. Carson gave you the huge break on the Tonight show. But it was Sammy Davis Jr that gave you a boost as the National touring Act, it was Sami Yeah, when it was interesting. He had a TV show called TV show called Sammy and company that was filmed out of Lake Tahoe at Harrison Lake Town, and I wanted to do the show because I had seen Sammy perform and there was no one like him on the stage. He was just incredibly electric, and I wanted to do his show and I finally got on his show and I prepared a routine. Of me growing up in Harvey playing basketball in all black basketball team playing football on not like football team and all the routines are being the only white guy in an all black situation, and Sami fell off the couch laughing and it was just one of those nights. It was just hot and he told me he said, I'm gonna take you on the road with me. And he took me on the road for three years and taught me so much about our business, you know? He had more business.

NFL Insider Dan Graziano Breaks Down Week 11
"Dan graziano it is eleven fifty eight. Pm eastern so. Thank you very much man for staying up late behind. After that game. I go right to sleep. That was exciting. Dan graziano is an espn nfl insider. And he will get to sleep soon. We promise fired for game like that. Yeah me too i mean. Let's get into this right off the top here the chiefs. Just beat the raiders. Thirty five to thirty one. They beat the team who is beating kansas city. This season dan back in week. Five about a million years ago. So were you watching for in this rematch tonight. Well to see if they can do it again right. I mean that sounds simple. But like i didn't think their victory over kansas city was a fluke because it seemed like they had kind of a formula that they went out and they stuck to. They didn't win but a certainly could have. And i think that's that's significant because they know that's the team that is in their way in their division. Obviously they're on top of the conference in the league as super bowl champion. So you see the raiders. Draft a running back in the first round last year. That can help them. Control the clock and keep mahomes on the sideline like they did in the first game. They played they draft the speedy wide receiver this year in the first round. That can stress their quarterbacks. I mean they're thinking about the chiefs all the time. They're certainly not on that level at this point as the records indicate but they've constructed a team that can play in a way that threatens the chiefs and it might be able to beat them. So they're not as different as you might inclined to think yet and i have to admit like the difference between pat mahomes and derek carr felt smaller than i ever realized it would tonight. What did you see from these two quarterbacks total commanded of the offense which has not always been him. And certainly since gruden's been there. We've seen a lot more ups and downs. Where he looked like he was a little bit. Lost a little bit uncertain But this is years three with gruden and when gruden got there he talked about competent car up and making sure that car believed he was the guy. So that when you know. When ben came together around him he would be the guy that was in total control of things. And and it seems to be coming to fruition. What he's got. He's got people to throw to nelson agholor like out of nowhere as having a career renaissance in las vegas. He's got two very running back. Got a great offensive line. And i think you know he's playing with a lot of confidence as you would expect him to give all those things now. I think he's taken a big job this year in terms of where. He ranks in terms of the quarterbacks. We feel confident about what we watched the did feel like gruden kinda new like no. It's sunday night football. Let's give the people something that they'll enjoy. What did you most enjoy from. Hearing those play called why. I our love to know what the purple walrus was and i mean i think there are some vegas ones like he dropped. The sammy davis in there at one point and then and then it sounded like they've been paying very close attention to the nba off-season because there are a number of james harden and those who among nfl coaches knows how to produce primetime football. Better than jon gruden right. I mean he did it for for a decade or so for us in terms of operating in that sphere. So maybe i don't know maybe maybe he feels like a showman or maybe they're just having a lot of fun in their in their offensive meetings. They sound like all. The time does not all watching every week but was it so as showmanship goes that lasts. Drive man lake travis. Kelsey had some great moments in this game but that catch at the end mahomes calling him the best tight end in the league game. What did you see from travis kelsey tonight yeah domination. This is this. is you talk about reliability. I mean the the quarterback knows he's going to be where he's supposed to be. He knows he's almost certainly going to be open. He know he's going to catch the ball like it's total complete confidence in a guy in a key spot third down. A guy had throw to the end zone in the final minute. I mean he is the best tight end in the league. I don't think it's even close especially when you know. George kittle is on the shelf right now in the second best tight end. The league is probably the guy that was on hiller sidelines tonight. So there's there's no doubt that he in homes are in sync in a way that very few combinations like that are

"Here's Rick Rubin Malcolm Glad Well Bruce Adam from Shangrila speaking with the studios architect Robbie Robertson. We had a fantastic take the other day a year. And I'm when I was telling the stories of Shangri la you know stories he envisioned this place and built it and it was unbelievable and it was mine it it you know the other guys in the band thought this was a good. Hi Dear but from big pink to. Sammy Davis Junior's house to the worcester. We made these records in not not in studios in other places where there was an atmosphere and it could be our atmosphere and ours. Sounds you know now and every thing was not on somebody else's will way of doing of somebody else's wave likes. You know you would go into the studio Rodeo. And there'd be these used to be these union guys they'd be like Oh looks like it's lunchtime or like what are you talking about lunchtime. We're we're you know we're about to do something something and and they'd be an IV. Like I I don't know this should be louder than don't touch that you know. Yeah so I don't want that I. Ah I don't WanNa do that so I said what we're going to do is we're going to make these clubhouse these workshop these studios does things that is our world and arm music are sound and whether it was true or not. I believed that that it gave it a character and a saying which it did for better or worse. What's what's interesting about? That too. Is that now. It's become more the norm. Yeah Ah that that said when you did it technologically. It was much more difficult to do like when you did it. You needed big studio equipment like today. People people can do it on their laptops so they can. It's easier to make that jump but when you did it. The infrastructure involved was not easy to pull off. It was unheard of except for Les. Paul Les Paul said. I'm going to build studio at my house and I'm GonNa Build an Echo Chamber into the side of this hill right. And he was going to do all of these things. I had an argument demint the other day with Van Morrison about being able to do this kind of thing and because he was saying I only liked the play live just with my band and I go in and we sing and they play this song and we can capture a moment. We've all done that. I know it really well. I played Ricksen music the other day. That was all like first or second takes in it. Was You know songs you've heard. Yeah sounds you've heard a lot so so anyway so van saying it's gotta be live and it's got to be governed by and that's the way it used to be in a way of being I said what about less paw. Aw He overdubbed. He made things he played on top of himself. He doubled tracked. Things invented it so so van says I know but he was magic you recorded at. Sammy Davis Junior House. Yes we made the band album. The brown album And we rented. Sammy Davis Junior House in the Hollywood sunset is at plaza in the Hollywood hills. And we all stayed in the House for the family and we turn the pool house where he used to have have his. Party's with Frank Sinatra the rat back and all these people we turn that Pool House into his studio and the record company Penny thought. This was the worst idea they ever heard. I thought this was ridiculous. He said Dr Fifteen minutes. We have the best studio in the world here. Franks not for records year right all of this stuff and I was like no no no. This is a different thing and finally finally they were like okay. Okay I guess I don't know what you're doing and it's probably going to be bad but serious June didn't show up in another another. Sammy Davis Junior. He owned he still owned the House. He didn't live there so the magic him like he lived there. Stepping in on one of your according to what the House was built lower. You go into the the bathroom in the sink was down here and it was. Everything was built to his specifications you know and and I it seemed like this is great. This is great. Sammy's world's amazing. And so we recorded the album there and then we mix it or we're going to mix the record and there's this guy in New York. Toni Mae was his name and he had mixed the is the brothers. It's your thing. Do what you WanNa they do. So it was such a great sounding record we said wow. Let's see we can get Tony Maiden Mick says and he worked with Phil Ramone and all these people are which so anyway comes in and he puts up the tapes and everything and he says These tapes are awful. I'm going to have to do a lot of work. Arcand this and I thought I don't know if I like that. So anyway. He did a mix. There was not what I wanted at all. It's not the way I heard it all so anyway we're like thanks. Tony See You know and on which songs with these these were on the band album was the night they drove old. DIXIE DOWN UP ON CRIPPLE CREEK Whispering Pines on was wrong with his mixes his mixes were a trying to make this slick and bright and end and there was a witness to it. There was a muddiness to it that that suited the music it was earthy and I I want it that right. But he didn't get the joke so that was okay so I went and mixed the album with guy another another guy at the at the the old Jerry Ragavan said factory in New York this guy of mixed the album we mixed at the guys in the band. We were all in their the in God at the way that that I wanted so we get it and then it's like okay. The guy the mastering in guy his name is Bob Ludwig. You GotTa get him to master your record. So we take the record to Bob. Ludwig and and He puts you know he puts on the tape the mixes and everything and he says Oh boy is like Toni. May He's like I don't know I'm GONNA try see if I can fix this or save this and I'm like That's really depressing. So I go on I tell the other guys I said. I don't know we might have done this all wrong. Everybody's saying it's it's terrible and that you know so the net. I don't know a couple of days later. Bob Ludwig calls me and he says I am such an an idiot. I am such a fool. I didn't get it I so get it. This is maybe be the most interesting record I've ever heard. He said I'm so sorry. And he told me Bob Ludwig he said I made the same mistake when sly stone brought me. There's a riot going on. I thought that that was a big mistake. Sue Two and he said and then I realized it you know I had to accept it the way that I accepted your record and So I was like 'cause I thought he was right hit on and if he had a state with that I don't know what would have happened. So he you you know he mastered at hardly did anything to it in in the mastering and it was just one of those things it was a homemade saying it did have that character to it and that was part of its

But it's really about the life of I am of a person rather than the death of a person on CBS Sunday morning. I've always loved profiling people. And it occurred to me that there were a lot of great people from the pass. It didn't get a proper sendoff and some that didn't get an e send-off at all. And so that this would would be the, the right vehicle. I guess as cold award is at is to, to, to profile the subjects that are interesting to me, you know, and, and like I said, there's a lot to choose from beyond von meter in TV brothers. You're doing Sammy Davis in who else? Meander falls, because when they died out, forty thousand years ago, there was no open at least not one that we could find now there might be a stone tablet, somewhere in the Levant where they were given you know, sort of a proper sendoff, but I don't I don't think so we couldn't find anything in our own search in the archives are in Lexis Nexis, which I think people still use. So this was this was important for us to do next season. This is something that I've always been interested in the black congressman of reconstruction, which I know sounds like a funk band, but it's this period right after the civil war when there are a number of African American men most of whom had been slaves, who end up serving in the United States Congress. So it's those little pockets that are, that are interesting to me as well as well as people like Audrey Hepburn Sammy Davis junior, who we hopefully all. Love and remember. But our I think are due, for sort of a new a reevaluation and you're still doing Sunday morning at the same time. Absolutely. I have a lot of stories in the works. They're going off tomorrow to go profile Angie Dickinson, which I'm really excited about. So I was watching old policewoman episodes last night, and I highly recommend getting your hands on a policewoman DVD. Yes, they still sell those DVD's. That is an listening to the DVD commentary. It is, you know, I don't listen to enough DVD commentaries in his hilarious listening to her reminisce about the show what, what will be up. So it'd be next week the third one, the one that's releasing this Thursday is forgotten forerunners, which may be on ongoing thing. I do the years have collected names of people who I call sort of the pioneers before the pioneers. So there's a woman named Elizabeth Jennings. An African American woman who almost exactly. Hundred years before Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was was was was asked to sat down on that on that boss, excuse me. Among Gumri, Alabama, Elizabeth Jennings in New York was kicked off of a streetcar. And she ended up suing the railroad company that owned that streetcar. And she won and this is before the civil war, and led to the integration of New York's transportation system. And I mean it's a remarkable achievement and it's almost equally remarkable that we don't know her name. So this episode this Thursday, is about her about the African American man who played major league baseball, what passes the major leagues sixty four years before Jackie Robinson antibody woman who was the highest paid director in Hollywood during the silent era. So these are all names that I'm pretty sure you don't know. And but so it's this episode is our first where. Featuring people that you probably never heard of.

The black congressman of reconstruction, which I know sounds like a funk band, but it's his period right after the civil war when there are a number of African American men, most of whom had been slaves who end up serving in the United States Congress. So it's those little pockets that are that are interesting to me as well as well as people like Audrey Hepburn Sammy Davis junior who we hopefully all love and remember. But are I think are due for sort of a new a reevaluation in you're still doing Sunday morning at the same time? Absolutely. I have a lot of stories in the works. They're going off tomorrow to go profile Angie Dickinson, which I'm really excited about. So I was watching old policewoman episodes last night. And I highly recommend getting your hands on a policewoman DVD. Yes, they still sell those DVD's that is an listening to the DVD commentary. It is I don't listen to enough DVD commentaries in his hilarious listening to her. Reminisce about the show. What what will the episode be next week the third one the one that's releasing this Thursday is forgotten forerunners which may be on ongoing thing. I do the years have collected names of people who I call sort of the pioneers before the pioneers. So there's a woman named Elizabeth Jennings. An African American woman who almost exactly a hundred years before Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was was was was asked to the sat down on that on that boss, excuse me, among Gumri, Alabama, Elizabeth Jennings in New York was kicked off of a streetcar. And she ended up suing the railroad company that owned that streetcar and she won and this is before the civil war, and it led to the integration of New York's transportation system, and I mean, it's a remarkable achievement. And it's almost equally remarkable that we don't know her name. So this the episode this Thursday is about her about the African American man who played major league baseball. What passes the major leagues sixty four years before Jackie Robinson, antibody woman who was the highest paid director in Hollywood during the silent era. So these are all names that I'm pretty sure you don't know. And but it's it this episode is our first where we're featuring people. The you probably never heard of.

Bobby Seale, Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn on Police Repression, Fred Hampton Murder & Prison Strike
"Sir. This is democracy. Now democracy now or the warrant piece report. I'm Amy Goodman with one gun solace with part two of today's edition of fifty years ago that right fifty years ago this week, the nineteen sixty eight democratic national convention in Chicago became a national spectacle as a major political event turned into chaos that culminated with a police riot, much of it unfolding on live national television. While Hubert Humphrey was nominated as the democratic candidate in nineteen sixty eight inside despite the fact he didn't run in any primaries outside was where the news was where police were clubbing teargassing thousands of protesters. For more. We continue our interviews with Bobby Seale founding chairman, Black Panther party was in the protests at the beginning in Chicago. Bill Ayers was arrested on August twenty seven fifty years ago and Bernardine Dohrn both Bernardine and Bill longtime activists for peace and racial Justice, former SDS that students for a democratic society and whether underground members. I mean, he Goodman with Juan Gonzalez one? Yes. Yes. With Bobby Seale again to follow up a Bobby on the conversation. We were having that the end of our previous segment when you were talking about how once Richard Nixon was elected president, he ordered. His aides to begin immediate eradication of the Black Panther party. One of the interesting things that most people are not aware of is that years later report came out in the New York Times that the f. b. i. had conducted a CPR secret poll among black Americans and found that more than twenty five percent of African Americans were supporters of the Black Panther party felt that the Black Panther party was fighting. Their interest is significant portion of the America of the African American population of this country was supportive of of your revolutionary organization. And yet as you were saying Nixon immediately ordered that you be crushed, could you talk about what happened in that first few years of the Nixon administration to the panther party. Exactly the year of nineteen sixty nine is the year. Now, remember I said he had a meeting with j. Edgar Hoover and Jade ago who were in the December the first week of December stated nationally on television that we were threat to the internal, the blackout, the party is a threat to the internal security of America. Come come. What was February seventeenth seventeenth. John a buddy Carter and John Huggins will murdered at UCLA. They were the leaders of the black path to party and loss Angeles California now. But she Carter really had gotten out of his gang group. 'cause he, he ran a three thousand member gang and he created a political organization call wretched of the earth delay to become and he later became rub. They headed up to southern California chapter the black part in the Los Angeles community. Eric, the what I'm trying to say here is that. That was the first attack on the part of the power structure using the us organization, etcetera. In a conflict situation to kill and murder. The leaders of the Los Angeles chapter, the blackout, the party do that process in the next three or four months. They attack more than twenty two offices I'm talking about in Indiana. I'm talking about the, they blew up the office and demands. I will literally got the crew Clinton of blew up that blow up that building. And I'm telling you. In San Diego brother. Bell was opening up to San Diego office at eight AM in the morning, and the police and FBI came jumped out of cars and came into place and shot him dead killing murdering. So I'm just says that period of tacking by the end of that year with the murder of Fred Hampton and then the shootout in Los Angeles, four days later after that cetera I have in my organization, I had twenty eight dead blackout to party members sixty nine wounded and defending ourselves. We defended ourselves and many of these attacks. By the end of that year, fourteen police were kill because we shot back when they came in shooting in us. We did not play. We shot back
