Book ban attempts hit record high in 2022, library org says
"Attempted book bands and restrictions at school and public libraries have surged. I've never seen numbers like this. Deborah Caldwell stone, who's been with the American library association for 23 years. This is a political campaign to remove books that don't meet the moral political or religious agenda of certain organizations. And to couch it in terms of parents rights or protecting children. Even librarians around the country have told of being harassed and threatened with violence or legal action more than 1200 book challenges were compiled last year. That's nearly double the then record total from 2021. I'm Shelley Adler

How to Be a Prayer Warrior for Your Children
"It's vital that we bring our children and their hearts to Jesus. Absolutely. I mean, that's the number one thing, I think, on a parent's heart and mind, right? I know that's true for gene and I, our boys are in their early 20s. We want them to have a fervent faith. Sometimes we're scratching our head. Are they there? They assure us that they know the lord, and that's good. But you always want to see more, right? It's just natural for a parent to want to see a vibrant faith and we're going to talk today about those young adults who may not be expressing that. We call them prodigals from time to time and their behavior suggests that maybe they're not close to the lord. So I'm excited that we're going to cover that topic today because many, many parents are going through difficulties with their adult children. And we hear so much heartache and grief from parents, and we're so glad our counseling team can talk to them and guide and certainly if you're there, give us a call. Our number is 800 a family. Well, doctor Irwin lutzer is pastor emeritus at moody church in Chicago. He was the senior pastor there for over 36 years. He's written a number of books, and one of those that is the basis for our conversation today is called a practical guide for praying parents. Get a copy from us here at the ministry, the details are in the show notes. Doctor lutzer, welcome back to focus. It's so good to have you. I'm so glad to be back and to have this exciting topic because no matter where I go the great burden on the hearts of parents is wayward children. Yeah. And we're going to be talking about how I believe we should pray for them and how transforming it was for me to understand a new way of praying, but we'll get into that. Well, you know, so often we as parents would carry so many burdens, you know? And there's a lot of things tugging at our children's heart, especially if they're in public schools, the things that are exposed to, it could be a daunting task to live in this modern world and be raising kids that have so much exposure to things that, you know, just two decades ago, kids didn't see. Social media pornography. You had to go find pornography. Now it finds you. Being a pastor for 36 years, it's nothing new under the sun, right? You were experiencing these kinds of things, maybe different, but children that weren't doing well with the lord. You know, one of the things that we did at moody church which I looked back upon with a great deal of joy is we designated a month that was a month in January and we called it pops, parents of prodigals, and we prayed for prodigals. Now we doubled our prayer meeting.

Ian Prior: States Should Manage What Happens in the Classroom
"Our state legislature is doing enough and governors Republican governors doing enough to control what's going on in the classroom as a rule There's some we know who are great Yeah I mean I think some are I think I think others aren't And certainly it falls upon the state not the federal government to really manage what is going on in the states because look if you put the federal government in charge of this that might go great when you have a presidential administration that is favorable towards parental rights But what happens when you get to buy the administration It's not going to go well So we're really falls upon the state to enforce their constitutions to enforce their laws in the past new laws I mean for example there are states out there that have statutory parental rights protections But there's no enforcement mechanisms And that's one of the problems we see from state to state and certainly even in the federal statute the protection of pupil rights amendment There's no enforcement mechanism for parents to take these school districts to court So I mean we need all kinds of things We need transparency of lessons plans curriculum teacher trainings books in the library books in the classroom library but we need more than that We need an enforcement mechanism so that we can bring schools to court and hold them accountable for these things And then you might actually see some changes in what they're doing

Ian Prior: The Intention of 'Parents of the World Unite' Book
"You have a background in media And this is a fantastic book because you're not only discussing the problems Chapter after chapter you're telling people you need to do this You need to do that You need to investigate You need to activate You need to understand that there's a media out there You need to prepare for that And this is how you fight the school board and on and on and on So this is not just a book about what's taking place This is a book that's about action orientation correct Yeah that's right And each chapter there are 12 chapters and we structure it so that each chapter is a bit of a strategic philosophical rule that we applied in the situation but is certainly applicable to every school district in the country no matter what you're doing I mean I like to think of this as sun tzu's art of war for parents which of course will get me flagged by Merrick Garland but so be it That's probably already the case The idea Yeah the idea being that you know parents can utilize this not just to look at these strategies or these practical ideas on how to get the message out to the media how to work with reporters how to send freedom of information act requests how to set up an organization legally to make sure you're getting your donations processed properly but also to get them thinking about their own strategies and tactics and to really crowdsource that among the parents of this country because that's what it's going to take It's going to take you know successes and failures and learning from those successes and failures and sharing them with others so that they can replicate what's been done

Ian Prior: Latest Analysis of Schools Pushing a Radical Agenda
"Has a fantastic new book out Certainly every parent grandparent should get it Parents of the world unite have a save our schools from the left's radical agenda Since this really started and you got involved in this and has it gotten better or worse over the last few months Well you know I think it really depends on the state you live in and I think it depends on the elected officials you have I mean one of the things that I've been encouraged to see is you know some of these states passing laws banning these surgeries for children states passing school choice you know really making progress that you haven't seen in the education realm in a while And I credit that to the parents out there that have been pushing back really for the past three years I mean certainly the left has been at it for decades and three years is it going to fix the damage that they've done But it's certainly a good start and this book really chronicles how we were able to really shine a light in loudoun county public schools which ultimately had an impact in the Virginia gubernatorial race And I think you know shown a light for the rest of the country on how they can push back on their own schools and I've been encouraged to see parents taking up that mantle everywhere in the country

"No More Secrets" With Chaya Raichik
"In the era of mass censorship, ordinary but brave people have a lot of power. It's really an extraordinary thing. Literally billions of billions. Hundreds of millions of people have seen the content from libs of TikTok. Potentially billions. I don't exaggerate though. And try a rate check has just been posting what's happening on TikTok. That shows that every one of you in this audience can make a difference. You just do the right thing and you do it boldly and you do it courageously, you can move the overton window. We would not have the legislative action that we are seeing on the meta mutilation issue if it was not for libsyn TikTok. So try, you have a new book out, tell us about it. It's called no more secrets, and also it got protested, tell us all about it. Yes, so for the last two years, I basically been exposing groomers and predators to our targeting our children. And then the pattern of a groomer who wants to prey on a kid is to cut out the parent to isolate the child to sever the parent child relationship, and then to prey on the kid. So, you know, I was like, look, I've been exposing this for two years, and I think the time has come for me to actually put out a tool which could help parents and children to combat this and to help kids not fall into that trap. So I wrote a kid's book, no more secrets. It's available on book dot com, but it basically teaches kids Ann parents. It strengthens the family unit, and it helps create that trust between parents and kids. Where if there is a trusted adult who tells a child, you know, don't tell your parents that we can keep this between us. This is a secret between us. The child should know that that is groomer behavior.

Defending Taiwan With Jim Hanson and Gordon Chang
"Jim Hanson. You can find me at Jim Hansen, D.C. on Twitter, and you can find my guest Gordon Chang at Gordon G Chang on Twitter, and you should follow him because he is an indispensable analyst right now because we got Chinese communist problems and they're not getting better. You should also check out his book the coming collapse of China, which can not come and collapse soon enough for my liking. Gordon, we talked a little bit about Chinese ascendancy in Middle East affairs and obviously their partnership with the Russians and what they're doing in Ukraine. But the 800 pound gorilla in any time we have to talk about their ambitions is the island of Taiwan and whether or not the long nature of the war in Ukraine and our large commitment of military hardware and everything else make them at least consider the idea that we might not have the appetite to defend Taiwan if they made a move. You know, that's a really important point you make. But first of all, we're bleeding munitions. Which we should use in East Asia instead of the western part of the Eurasian landmass in Ukraine. But also it's a question of signals. And what Biden is signaling is he's not looking for victory. He's looking to manage the situation in Ukraine. And that says to Xi Jinping that the United States doesn't have will. So unfortunately, it is some of the green light for the Chinese to say, well, let's go after Taiwan. And this is something that I think that the Biden team doesn't understand. They make some very short term decisions. All presidents do this. But Biden does it more than others. Short term decisions and they don't understand the consequence that it has on other bad actors.

Jim Hanson Fills in for Dr. G With Special Guest Gordon Chang
"In Seb's chair while he's down at fort Bragg talking to our special operators. But I am actually happy and sad to be joined by Gordon Chang because the fact that he's joining us is a sign that once again, China is doing things that we're doing badly to counter. I want to make sure you follow him on Twitter at Gordon G Chang. And his book the coming collapse of China can not come soon enough. Welcome to the show, Gordon. Thank you so much, Jim. Well, look, I think there's plenty. I want to start off in the less obvious of the two really bad things that happened recently, but China managed to get a deal done between our enemy Iran and our somewhat ally, the Saudis for a rejuvenation of diplomatic ties between those two countries. This is barely two years after the Trump administration managed to get a couple of gulf Arab states to sign deals with the Israelis to increase relations. Have we really flipped that far, the U.S. is no longer a power broker in the Middle East and the Chinese are there too? Yes. Actually, America's Middle East policy under the Trump years was like the best since FDR. But Biden's is clearly the worst ever and we're seeing that because as you mentioned, Saudi Arabia was a firm friend of the United States was supporting our efforts. We had the Abraham accords, which president Trump should have won the Nobel Prize for. What Biden has done is he's reversed all that progress in the matter of a couple of months. He did that by trying to isolate the Saudis and this is not a very good story for the United States. No, and

Pat Boone Has Always Been a Beacon of Wholesomeness
"Fascinating that at that young age, you were presented as this image of a wholesomeness and already in the 50s. Look, this is just the way of the world. The dark side is always attractive. And people don't understand what they're getting into. You know, you kind of think like, wow, Elvis Presley, the idea that he died of a drug overdose bloated Iraq at age 42. It breaks your heart. How many of those people they trod that path? And they died so young whether they were talking to Jimi Hendrix or anybody, any name, you know, Jim Morrison. I mean, on and on and on and on and you represent it obviously something very, very different. And The Rolling Stones and even The Beatles, if they were experimenting with drugs, they were very wealthy, and they could go to Switzerland and then have their blood transfused. Yes, Keith Richards famously had to get a blood transfusion because he was so loaded up with drugs. He's like, not a problem. I'll just go to some clinic in Switzerland, and we'll take care of that. Yeah, but kids were dying by the thousands following examples with the drugs that they couldn't afford to have their blood transfused. And people weren't even making well, there was a connection, but I mean, you know, you couldn't blame them for just sinking in their songs and living their lives the way they wanted to. But the fallout from it was too bad. It was very unfortunate. And of course, here I was had four daughters living in Beverly Hills and going to church regularly and riding bestselling books of Christian principles. And yet having rock and roll records at the same time. And so I was okay.

Legendary Entertainer Pat Boone Returns to Discuss His Book "IF"
"And gentlemen, you know, when I have the opportunity, I like to bring on a gigantic Hollywood star, you know, that that's on my level. And it's very rare that you can find those people anymore. But we found one, some of you know him, his name is pat Boone, pepin, welcome to this program. Welcome to thank you. Thank you for that great introduction. I'm far more than I deserve. Yeah, oh yeah. Listen, you. Become a friend, so I like to joke around with you. And the last time you were on, you know, I want to talk to you about your new book. But we always get on the side tracks. Yes, the book. The title of the book is if IF if one word if the eternal choice, we almost make and you say on the cover, not religious life or death. So this is kind of the big question, but. The first question I often want to ask people who've written a book is for whom did you write the book? And those who did you have in mind when you wrote this book if. And by the way, I got to be clear. There's a couple of books out there right now that look just like this one with the same title if don't buy those books by this one by pat Boone. I don't look like this ever. They don't look like this. This was specifically designed by me to look like something that you probably wouldn't want to read and it says here specifically not religious, a warning sign, because this book is aimed at the non religious person who, unfortunately, make up over half the American public now, according to the pollsters. But they still have the same questions about life. And you and I both know that if you're just floating through this culture, it's hard to find solid answers. And I know that's why you wrote the book is because there are people that they're questioning, but they don't know where to look. And I know at the very least, that's the main reason or that's one of the main reasons I should say that you wrote the book is to reach those people with this provocative title if IF, if. But there's another book that looks very similar titled if it's not by pat Boone. We're talking about baboon

Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Rewatch John Milius' "Conan the Barbarian"
"This is iconic as well. So this comes out when, you know, I am a teenager originally in 1982. And for me, it's kind of had a legendary place in the pan of plea of my childhood, my teen years, but as I watched it yesterday, I sat down and I watched it from beginning to end. It changed in quality for me, Chris. This wasn't a cheesy exploitation movie with ropey sets and bad writing. Dude, this is a really good movie. Yeah. Yeah, it's really an epic. Yeah. Truly epic. I mean, you follow the hero's journey from the moment that he's changed as a little boy when his family is slaughtered by his enemies to the point where he finally gets revenge as an adult. Watching that journey is truly cool. I mean, my ancestors are Barbarians, right? They're the German Barbarians. And he's not exactly that, right? He's not exactly a historical depiction of a Germanic barbarian. But I was thinking about that when I was watching this. And I think part of the reason why this film is so good because you did have cheaper quality films of this type at the time. I saw that the sword and sorcery genre. Exactly. They didn't do quite as well. Why did this break out? I mean, first of all, Schwarzenegger, of course, magnificent performance there. There were some other magnificent performances which we'll get to. But I think the attention to detail, right? And I think that comes down to John milius deciding, we are going to put this in a northern European setting, even though they shot it in Spain. But we're going to make this a northern European warrior, just like the books, just like the historical Barbarians. And he did seem to try at least to make some semblance of something that a historian would recognize as the life and times of a barbarian. And

"Get Trump," No Matter the Cost With Alan Dershowitz

No better guests to help us talk about how this is outrageous, then the author of the book get Trump the threat to civil liberties due process and our constitutional rule of law, Alan Dershowitz, New York number one, New York Times Best Seller. Professor Dershowitz, welcome back to the program. Well, you have to admit my timing is pretty good. This book was did you guys did you have an inside source or something at the DA's office and you just timed it up with publication date? No, I just know who the DA is and that he wanted his 15 minutes of fame, but I didn't know when he would indict. You know, ironically, this is the weakest of the four cases that they're investigating against Trump. The weakest politically, the weakest legally, the weakest factually, and yet Bragg wants to be the first out there. Hopefully he's going to think of trying to get money for reelection from George Soros. But in any event, this is one of the weakest cases I've ever seen in my 60 years of practicing law. You know, they work for months and months and months and months and went through every statute and they produced a mouse called Mickey. This is a Mickey Mouse case.

Sean Spicer on His New Children's Book "The Parrots Go Bananas!"
"We've got a lot to talk about here. You have a book out a brand new book. A kids book called the parrots go bananas, and I believe the parrots were talking about the chattering classes, the mainstream media, the blogosphere, they go bananas because they know Trump is going to have another term. Is that what the children's book is about? Look, that's definitely the none of it. It's about fake news is what it comes down to. The parents basically are part of the folks that go after these two really good individuals, Asher and Bongo, who are just playing a game. They accuse them of cheating. It's for kids four to 12. So we don't get into the heavy stuff here. I gotta be clear. Ladies and gentlemen, I was joking. I have joking. No, I know you know, but just in case anybody's gonna get confused. I'm always half joking. But the point is because I want to talk to you about the preposterous dare I say satanic corruption that goes that's going on right now with the rumors of arresting our president. It's so preposterous, but we're living in crazy times and I have to deal with it by joking. But your book for kids, the parents go bananas, really does deal with actual issues. So talk about that before we get into the news of the day. Yeah, look, I have two 12 year old kids. And I know what it's like for kids to pile on. Something I talked to him, they helped me write the book. I partnered with brave books. You can get it at brain books dot com and the idea is if you think about a Nick Sandman type situation. You remember that he was from Covington Catholic. These kids in the book, these two characters get accused of cheating. Everybody piles on, and they're sitting there saying, what do you mean? You guys know us. We're good individuals. We went to this game and we didn't do anything wrong. And they proved themselves innocent, but at the end of the day, they're trying to teach people about why did you jump to conclusions? Why didn't you take our word on it?

Winning Against Wokeness
"I want to play an audio clip for you guys. The left try to dog our home girl I'll say Bethany mandel and Carol markowitz have written a book called stolen youth. I want you guys to go out and get it. And it's about how the left devastated youngsters all across the country with these whack behind lockdowns that did nothing, but exacerbate anxiety, depression, bad grades, put our kids behind, you name it. Didn't do anything to help the kids. So they talk about this stuff and all this woke nonsense. CRT DEI. Climate change that are impacting our children today scare the crap out of them. All right, so go out and get the book double down on the left is going after. They went after Bethany mandel. You know what? Go ahead and get her book again, she co authored co authored it with Carol markowitz. This is me just wanting to fight back against the left. And you're gonna be able to do it with their book. Now they're not a sponsor or anything like that. But I think this is very, very important. This is how we fight back. All right, so they're gonna stick the media on one of ours. All right, all right, we're gonna help them sell more books. But I do wanna play an audio clip for you. So this is what this moment went viral. All right, again, Bethany mandel, she's the co author of stolen youth this moment went viral. I want you to understand the background because she wrote a column over the weekend. And she explained what was happening at the time. She goes on this show the rising a show that put on by the hill, which is an online publication, but they have a YouTube channel or a regular television cable channel. I'm not sure it's been a long time since I've seen the scene of the show, frankly. But she appeared on the show. And she had a little brain fart, if you will, in the middle of the interview. But in the background, this chick has 6 kids that she and her husband are homeschooling. She had just got on. She was just dealing with two of her kids. She heard one of the hosts, I believe, if I recall her column correctly, say something kind of outlandish, kind of a dig towards, you know, families that have a bunch of kids. So here she was dealing with her kids right before she gets on. She hears something from them that kind of sounds like a dig. She's postured ready to go on defense almost after she hears this. But she but she's on to talk about her book. So here's the audio clip of Bethany mandel, the liberals went absolutely nuts, but they're not gonna win. We're about to beat their behinds in just a sec, but I want you to hear this. Audio clip, number one, pop up or Sean. And for Americans consider themselves very liberal. And probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke. And so, you know, when we started that year, would you mind defining well because it's come up a couple times that I just want to make sure we're all on the same page. So, I mean, woke is sort of the idea that. This is going to be one of those moments that goes viral. I mean, woke is something that's very hard to define, and we've spent an entire chapter defining it.

Balaji Srinivasan Makes Million-Dollar Bets on Bitcoin Price
"All right guys, well, another busy weekend. If you were on Twitter, I'm sure you saw the frenzy of debate around balaji's $1 million Bitcoin bet. TLDR, balaji, srinivasan, who is the former coinbase CTO and just generally interesting thinker, he authored that book, the network state, which is also the name of his new podcast, and has been on this show before as well, has been what he has been ringing the alarm as he puts it around impending financial crisis. He is arguing that these bank failures are a direct result of fed policies, and he thinks it gets worse before it gets better. Now to put his money where his mouth is, he's taken at least two people up on a $1 million bet that Bitcoin reaches a $1 million per coin within 90 days. If that seems crazy to you, you are certainly not alone. That has been the standard response from people in the fin twit space and from traditional finance, but those who are in crypto don't quickly forget just how prescient biology's predictions around the COVID-19 pandemic were. Anyways, it's something I'm watching, but if you want more in depth on that, go check out the YouTube channel. I did a whole episode around it on Sunday. To the extent the story continues and it continues to shape debates, I may come back to that later in the week.

What Role Would Secret Service Play in Possible Trump Arrest?
"You were in studio for journey the 6 and Joe, you talked about your unique role back then as the U.S. attorney for D.C. helping to make sure that the capital was secure talking with the capital police back then. This morning Dan bongino is a friend of mine, whose former Secret Service was talking on his show, but it's very, it may be tactical, but I think it grabs our imagination. The Secret Service has a federal protectee called president Trump. It is their job to protect this man every nanosecond of the day. The idea that they're just going to lead him into a police station or central booking, to be surrounded by criminals, people in handcuffs or whatever. Can that happen in America? Is the NYPD as Bragg's office really going to Trump the Secret Service? You've dealt with these issues. Walk us through the absurdity of tomorrow's potential event. Well, I think what's clear is that the president will have to be accompanied by Secret Service agents wherever he goes inside the police headquarters or the police station or wherever this booking is going to occur. If they insist on it occurring, if he is indicted, then the Secret Service will have to be present when he's photographed. I mean, they can not just Willy nilly, put him in the hands of the police. Well, they're not allowed to do that. So the Secret Service can't hand over the security of the president, nor can they allow him to go to a place which is insecure. And what is the Secret Service? Sorry. We can't control central booking. Therefore, we will not permit you to take our detail into central booking. Are we talking about an immovable object meeting with an unstoppable object? Well, the New York police had every means to accommodate the needs of the former president if they need if there has to be a booking. If there are charges, that can be done anywhere.

And she has John Burnett as a report. By all accounts, cormac McCarthy has been working on the passenger and its sequel Stella Maris for at least four decades. Jenny Jackson, the executive editor at knopf was brought in in 2014 to work with him in secret. 8 years ago, it was so cloak and dagger that we were working on these books just because McCarthy fans are rabid and any whiff of their being new books is going to be huge news. And so we would walk down the hall and hand off manuscripts in person and, you know, I wasn't telling anyone what we were working on. It was fun. We're sitting in the Napoleon house, drinking pimps cups. It's a venerable watering hole in the French Quarter of New Orleans, where McCarthy lived as a young penurious rider. The protagonist in the passenger is a troubled commercial diver named Bobby western who frequents the Napoleon house for rambling discourses with eccentric buddies. At the beginning, there's this kind of big cast of boisterous characters and they're all working as divers and having drinks together and going out to restaurants and then at the end they're all each kind of on their own singular journey. Neither of these two new books contains the savagery and bloodletting McCarthy readers have come to expect. There is less action overall, and more dialog. Readers may wonder if McCarthy

"Secrets and hidden away and you couldn't actually access them. So I think it would have been a very different book and it wouldn't have had that woven quality that it has where chronology is replaced by memories so that the memory comes and goes and one moves around from the past into the present and back to front. I think every child probably to some extent views their parent as a superhero. Was there a moment in adulthood or perhaps even as you were researching this book that it suddenly hit you that these were not just stories that he actually had done these incredible daring feats during wartime? Well, I knew he was called Lawrence of Burma and the mad Irish man because we had these newspaper reports from India from 1945 and I used to take them to school show people and I knew he parachuted out of planes into the jungle and I knew he was a spy in Burma. But when I really found out that the truth was so much more outrageous and he was in so much more kind of crucial part of history when the Burmese guerrillas were trying to get their independence and he was from the Japanese. From the Japanese and he was working with Aung San Suu Kyi's father, who was later assassinated. Oh, it was so brilliant. It was much better than I thought I didn't think I would be writing quite so much about that, but it was so fascinating. I couldn't resist getting really deeply into some of that stuff. What does it mean to you now that he's gone to have this work that you've created that is a tribute to a man who shaped you created you influenced you and is no longer with us? Well, in a way, he's been more with us with this book. It's been incredible. It's been a very cathartic thing with my family, actually, we've talked about the more difficult sides of our life together since this books come out..

"As a radio person, I've always wanted to do that thing where I record my parents just telling their stories. You know, just so I have it to listen to after they're gone. I always find a way to put it off until the next visit though. But after listening to this 2017 interview between NPR's art Shapiro and keggi karoo, whose memoir, dad land is about her digging into her father's stories after his dementia. I might actually really try and do it. Here's the interview. Father Tom Carew was known as Lawrence of Burma and the mad Irish man. In her new book dad land, we find out why. It's a memoir that combines espionage and war stories with reflections on parent child relationships. When keke began writing this book, her father's war days were long behind him. He was losing his memory to dementia. Carew describes a moment she took him to see a play in London. And on the top step, dad, trips, and he starts falling all the way down the stairs, all the way down to the bottom and everybody in the theater foyer just stares and freezes because an 85 year old man tumbling down the stairs. And we all freeze, and then he sits up, does himself down completely unscathed, un bruised, perfectly fine, and there's a loud sigh of relief. And what we have just witnessed was him going straight into a parachute role, and his training just clocked in straight away. Jedburgh training, the jets, as they were called, were an elite secret unit during the Second World War. Caggie carus father was trained to lead partisans in Europe who sabotaged the Germans. While Carew had heard stories about her father's war years, she was never sure how much to believe. Then she went to a Jed reunion with him and learned more about how they trained. He or she reads from the book. By the end of the training, there would be nothing about guerrilla warfare they wouldn't know how to blow up a train, a tree, a railway line, a road, a canal, a factory, a power station, a dam, a reservoir, high tension pylons. They had to be able to set a mine attach a clam, lay tire bursters, throw a grenade by instinct neutralize a booby trap, prepare an ambush. There was observation and memory training, intelligence gathering, how to conduct surveillance, how to know if you were being followed, reception techniques for receiving AirDrop supplies, night parachuting, there were lessons in unarmed combat, silent killing and survival. They would have to be able to swim with a limpet mine and pitch a lump of plastic explosive into a moving train. I look at dad quizzically, silent killing, he shrugs his shoulders. I want to start with something that you write at the very end of this book, which is that you compare the experience of writing this.

"You know, when you told me that story there about the ambulances. I remember hearing ambulances after my father died and all I could think of was that obviously one had gone to him and it had not managed to save him, and I just stand there with tears in my eyes, you know, hot tears. I mean, it's a very, very hard time. Well, so you become a perfect companion for a hawk at that point. Now let's just talk a little bit, what this is. Literally training a bird to sit on your fist and the goal is that someday you're going to let that bird go and hope it comes back. The American writer Stephen bodeo describes it as learning how to be polite to a bird, it's not a, it's not a cruel relationship, it's not one of subjection and kind of power. It's really a very extraordinary, close relationship. In which your goal is to get the hawk to accept you as kind of a companion. And then go out and watch the hawk do what it would do naturally in the wild, which is fly and sore and hunt. For many, many millennia, there have been people like me sitting in dog and rooms, willing hawks to to lean down and take that first bite of raw meat from your gloved fist, you know, that the first step on that long journey. And then once they associate you with someone who can care for them and provide food and a home, you then let them go where they do what they do, which is hunt and what's fascinating is here you are a person who hadn't thought about death as acutely before your father's death. And now you realizing your complicit with a natural killer. Yeah, I mean, it's a great irony, I suppose, that there I was running from death as fast as I could in sort of flying with the hawk to try and escape it, and of course these hawks are natural killers and I had to be with the hawk while she hunted. And of course, you know, hawks aren't particularly kind creatures, you know, when they catch birds or animals, they just start eating. And at some point, the animal, the poor animal is going to expire. And I had to run in and humanely put these poor things out of their misery. And that was a very, very intense and extraordinary and very, I guess, humbling experience to realize we don't see death anymore. It's not something that many people really have any contact with, and it was very educational in the deepest possible sense. They're telling McDonald her new piercingly wonderful memoir is called H is for hawk. And Helen, you got to the point in the book when you have to weeks and weeks of training, you are flying her. What's it called? Is a word for it? Is it Hawking? Yeah, Hawking. You go hulking with a bird of prey. So yeah, initially you train them on a long line called the crayons and then you take the crayons away and the only thing that keeps the hawk with you really are those bonds of trust and love that you sort of forged over the few weeks that you've been with the burden. It's always a very intense time when you fly a hawk for you..

"There's a part in this interview between Amy Tan and NPR's Lynn neri, that absolutely gutted me as the kid of immigrants. Tan talks about this tendency. She felt to view any disagreements with her Chinese mother as cultural. That the friction between them was because her mom was old school Chinese. But what it really was was that she was simply her mother. When writer Amy Tan's mother first warned her about the dangers of kissing boys, she spun a tale of terrible consequences, which ended with her daughter spending the rest of her life in jail. Amy Tan's reaction, of course, was to find out if what her mother told her was true. And she was surprised to discover that the actual event was far less interesting than her mother's story. Ten, a Chinese American raised in California has now written a novel about Chinese mothers and their American daughters. The joy luck club. The idea for the book says tan grew out of a conversation she once had with her mother. When I started to write, it was about the time that my mother turned 70, and she had said to me, one day, I'm getting old now, if I die, what would you remember? And I at the time said, well, I'd remember all kinds of things. But you're not going to die, and if later on, I would be many things because you're my mother. And she just looked at me and said, I think you know little percent of me. And I remembered that later on when she had been hospitalized in intensive care and with an apparent heart attack. And I thought at that time that here I'm going to lose my mother and I'm going to lose all the things that she wanted me to know about her. Well, it turned out that she didn't have a heart attack. She was fine. But at the time I thought, if my mother lives, I will take her to China. I will get to know her. I will meet my sisters for the first time. And she turned out to be fine, so I fulfilled that promise. And I took her to China and met my sisters, and I decided I wanted to see what I did know about my mother, and that's what I wrote in the book. So you, like, one of the characters in the book had Chinese sisters, sisters in China that you that you had never known. Yes, I had actually three sisters that I had never met before. They're not twins as they are in the book..

"Said, well, it's hard. Yeah, it was very hard for me. It's interesting because this book I will say, there are moms we worse than you by the title. It is a book for moms who have a sense of humor. And my sister has the best sense of humor. So she appreciated it and she read it and she laughed and she was saw her name in the dedication and she went, oh my gosh, that's me. So. Did your niece also read it? So the book looks like a children's book sort of, but it's not for kids. The kids just end up reading it. Yeah. So my sister did read it to my niece, Maddie, and she read her the part about there's an animal in here, the koala mom, who famously, the first solid meal that she feeds her koala babies is her own poop. Can I say that? Let me read the line from the book for dinner a koala mom will feed her kids her poop, remember that when you give yours fast food. Okay, yes. She read my niece, my three year old niece, the part about a koala mom, feeding her kids her poop and my niece was like, mom, you don't do that to me. And my sister was like, yeah, correct, and she goes, you're a good mommy. And also an objectively funny word. I know. And also, she just then my niece is three years old, so she then just took the opportunity and ran with it and just kept saying poop over and over again for like three minutes. So it was very funny for all. Yeah, I support that. Any ideas why your book has hit such a nerve? I think it's because and I don't like that this is the fact, but I think it's because there's so much pressure in the world today, sort of like you were saying in the beginning how everyone's trying to sell you something to make you a better mom or everyone is judging other moms and dads to make themselves feel better. And because it's maybe one of the most important things you can do as a human, you know, raising another human. It's so important to get it right and that's I think why people take it so seriously and they take it to heart and so with that comes a lot of self judgment and a lot of shame. So unfortunately because there's a lot of shame surrounding parenthood, I think that's why the book resonates, which was my, if one mom feels better about herself after reading a silly little joke book that I wrote, I am thrilled. So, well, my son's 23 and the book still brought me some comfort..

"Cover, it's just an iconic cover. It has a giraffe mom kicking her baby. Correct. I thought, well, that's ridiculous. Obviously. Obviously, don't kick their babies, but then the rest. I know. I read many tales. One from wild trails was so poetic and saying she lifts her long legs and kicks the baby giraffe, sending it flying up in the air and tumbling on the ground. And as the baby lies curled up the mother kicks the baby again, like you're not kidding. I'm really not. I was stunned when I did the research for a lot of these animal mothers. They're horrible. Yeah, just awful. And you keep reminding us of those kind of things. There's another one where you say an eagle mom believes in survival for the strong, she'll let her eagle its fight to the death. How wrong? What were some of your favorite tidbits that you found? I really like the cuckoo bird mom. She's what's called a parasite brooder, I think, is the name for it, which means she will lay an egg in another bird's nest and just leave it for that other bird to raise it. That's right. It's the equivalent of walking your kid next door and hoping they don't realize you're raising their raising another child. Exactly. And I just thought that was such a power move and I really respect it. So writing books is not something that you do, you are not usually. You've worked with Conan O'Brien and with Sarah Silverman, they in fact work both quoted in the Amazon reviews. Were you a little nervous about taking on a book project? A little bit because when you say you're an author, people assume you wrote a big wonderful novel. And so I have to go, oh no, no, I'm not a real author. I wrote a tiny joke book. I'm not a James Joyce. I'm not a Mary Shelley. So I did feel a little nervous having to say I'm an author. But what was it like to work with an illustrator? Because that's a partnership that you have to cure it. You have to nurture it. I got so lucky in the illustrator department. Priscilla is the illustrator Priscilla witty and she is also super funny herself, which was, again, I got so lucky. She thought of a lot of the visuals for the book as well. So the title obviously refers to moms, but you also write and I'm going to quote you here. It's not just moms, some dads suck too, they're not all warm and snugly bite fish dad will eat his kids if he thinks they're ugly. So I assume that any parent of any gender stripe style can read this in just insert their own identifier in here. Absolutely. Being a bad parent is devoid of class or race or gender, anyone can be a bad parent, which is the beautiful thing about parenthood. And the beauty of this concept is that you can now start on ants and uncles. Grandparents, you can just move your way through the entire family tree. The concept of animals having grandparents actually makes me laugh on its own. That's very funny. Oh, well, you're going to enjoy that research. No spoilers there. But I have to ask you when your sister finally read the book. What did she think? I'm happy to report she laughed and teared up a little bit. She was very and also she was like, how did you keep this from me for so long?.

That was steal away. It's not even theft if you have permission. About a year or so ago, I was hanging out with my sister and my niece, who was around two at the time.

It's a it's a indian gas station attendant who gets killed and the reason that he was killed could be as a cover up to something that happened. Fifty years ago and that combination is really. What instigates the whole exploration into the shifting demographics in suburbs and people what people are afraid so. My goal is to tell murder mysteries. And i'm not a murder mystery right.

"Of the day Installations to 20. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ, who lives in me on the life. I now live in the flesh. I live by faith in the son of God. Who loved me and gave himself for me. Simon cynic says a leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire. The people. No, that's coming out of Simon. Right now. We're seeing that out of Pat Lynch peony, and we're past new book, The motive. We're seeing it in the materials that were putting an entree leadership right now. There seems to be something in the air. To remind people that, um Leadership is not a Position with a corner office and a big paycheck that you aspire to. It is a Duty. It is a responsibility. Um, And sometimes it comes with a paycheck and a corner office. But if you're aspiring to the corner office without the duty and without the responsibility, um you're not going to end up being a leader. You're just gonna be another one of these twerps could be an achiever. Big difference. Somebody worry about optics instead of principles. This right leadership has a conviction because as a leader, a true leader, you begin to understand what it's like, and I've got a position authority and in some cases, the highest level of authority and where you're leading. And yet it has nothing to do with authority Has everything with you serving with you humbling yourself and leading the team. Diving into the problems taking the bullets protecting guiding coaching, You know, correcting it, Z. It's a conviction, you must understand to much heat. Again. Leadership. There's too much conflict and straw criticism that goes with leadership in unless you are doing it as an azan active service, you'll quit or you'll acquiesce. And you just fall in and you go well, I just got it. I'm worried about the way this looks rather than doing the right thing. That's exactly what's the right thing. You got to do the right thing, and you know you're the only one with all the details. You got to do the right thing, You know not what some little piss, ant says off to the side somewhere. You're called to the responsibility of being the people in that room have the information. And you got you gotta make the decision then and knowing that when you make it that you're gonna piss people off and in making the right the call the principal call instead of the call that makes people happy and looks the way it should look. One of my favorite images of leadership. It's from the movie. We were soldiers with Mel Gibson. He says. I'm the first one off the helicopter and on the last one on and that's a beautiful picture of what leadership is exactly right when the bullets were flying. Yeah, you don't leave the battlefield the Fox hole because you've been shot at. You don't know. No, there's no retreat. I've got men that are relying on my leadership in this moment. You know that's leadership. But you better have a conviction for you better care about the mission. Better care about the people or you will not make you will. You will not. I remember that was true battle. And that there was representing that movie. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Vietnam? Absolutely. Yeah, I know. We had no man. I'm just saying that particular can't remember. The actual storyline was based on the story if I remember. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Military brings that out to some of some of the Most honorable servant leaders over my life for our senior military officer. There's a nobility on military officer that that's a good one summer jerks on some of my self centered just like any group leader. Sometimes you run into a tour, but that I mean, when, when we're on these major installations, his major bases and we're speaking of the military teams. On helping their people and you walk in and you're meeting a two star. Ah, ah, are you know Colonel or whatever the senior officer is in that setting. You almost always meet someone that there's a sense of calm, deliberate, noble leadership, And it's a sense of responsibility. Yes, not a sense of. Oh, I got the big guy. That's it. You just nailed it, and I'm not trying to be cheesy here. It just came to me. It's about the mission, not recognition. New leadership, but that's good. Well, I know you. I know you don't like it when I rhyme, but I can't help it. Sometimes I never made it as a rapper kid. That's what it is, but it really that's it. Um, like you, said, David. It's about the mission. All those military leaders. They're always about the mission. It's not about their their personal gain. I thought about their authority, their ego, and and so you know, again, it's a great quote from From from Simon. Because, just like, Look, you got to be inspired by the people that you're leading by what they're doing the results. They're trying to drive on Lee. Then can you actually inspire them? His second books on the second book was leaders eat last great military context throughout the entire trial title on them, too. So Yeah. Real leaders eat last leaders. Anything. I'm gonna watch. We were soldiers tonight. I might. It's been a long time since I've seen it just popped into my head. Such a great movie. All right, We're gonna go with a lease in Detroit. Michigan is up next. Hi, Elise. How are you? High days and can How are you guys better than we deserve. What's up? Um, So I have a question. It's probably okay. Faceted, but long story short, my spouse and I are that free. Um, we've got six months of emergency funds savings.
