Russia says drones lightly damage Moscow buildings before dawn, while Ukraine's capital bombarded
"A rare drone attack in Moscow has caused light damage and forced evacuations. It's the first time residential buildings have been struck in the Russian capital since the war in Ukraine began. The Russian defense ministry says 5 drones were shot down and the systems of three others were jammed, causing them to veer off course. Moscow's mayor says two people have received treatment for unspecified injuries, but were not hospitalized. President Putin claims it's an attempt from Kyiv to intimidate Russia and that it's a clear sign of terrorist activities. Ukraine has made no direct comment on the attack. The Kremlin, meanwhile, has pursued its relentless bombardment of Kyiv with a third assault on the city in 24 hours. I'm Lawrence Brooks

Crucial days ahead as debt ceiling deal goes for vote and Biden calls lawmakers for support
"There are crucial days ahead as The White House and congressional leaders work to pass a compromise package in time to lift the nation's borrowing limit and prevent a U.S. default. A key test will come this afternoon when the House rules committee is scheduled to consider the debt limit package and vote on sending it to the full House, officials say the U.S. risks default as soon as June 5th, President Biden says he feels good about the deal negotiated with House speaker Kevin McCarthy and has been calling lawmakers ahead of this week's votes in Congress. There are still concerns about the deal's passage with some hard right conservatives criticizing the lack of deep spending cuts they wanted, and liberals denouncing policy changes like new work requirements for older Americans in the food aid program, the full House is expected to vote on Wednesday.

China launches new crew for space station, with eye to putting astronauts on moon before 2030
"China has launched its first civilian astronaut to its space station as part of a new three person crew, the shenzhou 16 spacecraft lifted off from a launch center on the edge of the Gobi desert in northwestern China just after 9 30 a.m. local time. The crew will overlap briefly with three now aboard the tiangong station who will then return to earth after completing their 6 month mission. China built its own space station after it was excluded from the International Space Station with the hope of putting astronauts on the moon before the end of the decade. Their exclusion was largely down to U.S. concerns over the Chinese space programs intimate ties with the People's Liberation Army, the military branch of the ruling Communist Party.

Brett Tolman: The Real Authority of U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves
"Want you to listen to this We can do it here We have multiple platforms Want you to listen to this This is Brett tolman who was a U.S. attorney in Utah really really top lawyer And he's very soft spoken so check it out Cut 22 go But you make a very good point The us attorneys nominated by the president not the attorney general and confirmed by the Senate They are presidential appointees and they serve at the pleasure of the president So despite what the practices may be the last couple of decades you're making the point It's a very important point that the U.S. attorney in Washington D.C. I believe his name is graves That he has his own authority to act that he doesn't have to sit around and worry about what the criminal division of the public integrity section or the U.S. attorney's office or the attorney general or anybody else has to say to open an investigation at a minimum and to bring an indictment correct That's exactly right He has all that authority and I'll tell you something else that I've learned relative to this The outgoing U.S. attorney at the time of January 6th Had identified a very small number of individuals that should be prosecuted And had indicated to DoJ that that was his intention They forced him out because he did not have the same vision that they did in terms of what they would turn the January 6th prosecution into And so I think about that and who they put in in their place and it is someone that will toe the line and follow what Washington D.C. wants And that is the greatest injustice we have because now we see that they will do make decisions and use their power to based on politics rather than based on the facts and the evidence which would result in a lot of people being prosecuted and put in jail including the Biden family

The lunar new year just happened. And I got the chance to spend a lot of time with family and friends, got to see the Chinese New Year parade in San Francisco. And it's times like this that you kind of want to cherish that time as much as possible. Rosanna, what about you? I mean, it's really hard to think about joy right now, but I will say that I've been feeling some renewed hope and humanity just seeing how much of the world has come together to send help to turkey and Syria. So my two cents here would be to add that thousands and thousands and thousands of people will still need help days and weeks and months from now long after we've stopped talking about this earthquake as the news of the day. So don't forget to help even a year or 5 years from now. I'll be back next month with a happier answer. That I think that's very joyful just seeing, you know, people help. Helping is always joy.

"Buildings. I backtrack my, I have some hope. And yeah, I mean, this just brings to mind this saying that Ron and I hear a lot in the earthquake world. Earthquakes don't kill people buildings do. If an earthquake happened in like the middle of nowhere and there were no buildings where people, life goes on. But it's the buildings that collapse onto you that is what leads to all this devastation. And you know what Ron just said, I think the thing that really stood out to me when I was covering the New Zealand quake is that the building codes, the older buildings, especially in California, reflect a lot of the older buildings that you see collapsing in other parts of the world. And so you can't just say, oh, that's happening in turkey, we're different. And I feel like this earthquake is just such a sobering wake-up call and yeah, like Ron said, some of the laws have been passed, but a lot of the work in the follow through has not happened. I retract my statement. No, but the optimism is warranted. I mean, San Francisco, the stuff that I'm getting out of San Francisco is that they are moving towards some kind of resolution. Hopefully soon, relatively soon. In terms of non ductal concrete issues. So I think that hope is there. And I think if cities keep on moving, toward getting these buildings retrofitted, that'll help. I mean, and to be fair, Long Beach, San Jose, they are trying to work on retrofitting soft story apartment buildings, which represents huge progress. And so there is hope, but you would also hope that we could do multiple things at the same time rather than doing things one by one. So where's the safest place then? To be in during an earthquake. Camping in a field far away from any trees. What's really true is that when do you feel shaking if you're inside drop cover and hold on? It's something that I think people who grew up in California know by heart, but maybe. People who moved here, they may want to run out and probably one of the worst things you can do, especially if you're in a brick building is to run out because those bricks from that kind of snazzy Brooke building that might feel cool. The thing that usually happens is that the brick falls onto the sidewalk. So you want to drop cover and hold on, wait until the shaking happens. If it looks like there's any structural damage, calmly, exit the building because you don't know when that aftershock is going to happen. Yeah, and not to be doom and gloom. So earthquakes don't kill people buildings do, and then after the buildings come the fires and I think that it isn't just this one moment in time that happens as we're seeing in turkey and Syria too, but the number of fires that can spark and really ripple across even broader areas beyond the epicenter and where the earthquake actually hit can be devastating as well. Fires fires fires everywhere, not enough water to put them out. So basically the two of you are saying we should always be freaked out about what earthquakes can cause. So how can we prepare to be less freaked out about them? So I think a big part of it is just being prepared, right? We put people on the moon, we should be able to engineer our buildings to better resist earthquakes. So if you're a homeowner, you don't want your home sliding off in a quake. That'll cost hundreds of $1000 to repair. If you have a home built before 1980 and there's a few steps between the ground and in your house, go to earthquake brace bolt dot com, you might be eligible for money to retrofit your home. If you're a building owner of an apartment that has these kind of flimsy poles holding up the building for car ports, you know, really look at getting that apartment retrofitted. Ding. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And everyone, if you smell gas after shaking, you do the research now to know, do you have a tool to shut off your gas? That's going to be a big help. And you know, if you're forward thinking, maybe consider installing an automatic earthquake shutoff valve, so when there's intense shaking in a quake, the gas automatically shuts off, yes, you'll have to get it turned back on. But there are a bunch of people who would imagine that better to get that shut off right after the quake before the House blows up. What about you, Rosanna? So I have this habit where every 6 months, I set a reminder that goes off of my phone to check my earthquake kit. The things I usually have to refresh are like the canned foods and granola bars that do expire and also just refreshing my cases of bottled water because the plastic can get a little warpy after a few years. And I actually just swapped out my earthquake water supply yesterday. I have ten new one gallon jugs under my bed and I'm boiling the water from the old ones to cook and clean and stuff and I guess this would be my unapologetic plug to check out on shaken are series that are amazing team on the utility dust did a couple months ago on just breaking down all the things that you can do to prepare your earthquake kit. Gustavo, how much water are you supposed to store? I have one of those big packs that I buy from Home Depot. So whatever that is. Also, I should say, now would be a really good time Gustavo to finally strap in your bookcases for people who can't see what Ron and I see every time we tape with Gustavo, he records in this cave where he's surrounded by shelves and shelves and shelves of books and stuff that can all topple down on top of him in

"Right? So think of it when you're dealing with a toddler and you're trying to figure out is it going to be just a little bit of a meltdown or like a long meltdown. That's kind of the same thing with earthquakes actually. The thing is where's the baby bottle for the earthquake? Exactly, right? So basically, it's like we know what earthquakes, how the earthquakes start. But when you see the earthquake start, you just don't know if it's going to just end at a magnitude two, or if it'll be something much worse. So that's part of the issue is that they are just very random. And there's just no way to do it. It's pretty much the stuff of science fiction to think that you could immediately know hours or days in the future or weeks in the future exactly when a damaging earthquake is going to happen at the exact time. But doesn't California have an app that tells you when an earthquake is happening? That's right, but the app is basically alerting people farther away from the earthquake that an earthquake has started. And it's on your way. So it's basically like, you know, just letting you know a few seconds before the shaking arrives. But the earthquake has already started. It's just an early warning system, so to speak. All right. But even if you can't predict, I think these early warnings, I just wanted to really hammer on the point. Even a few seconds can make a difference. They can prevent gas leaks if we have automatic shutoffs. If you're in the middle of getting brain surgery, the surgeon would know to stop and do whatever protocol they can do. And the few seconds of a heads up that they have. I do think these early warnings, even though they're not actually predicting earthquakes, could make a huge difference. Yeah, no, totally. And Rosanna, we were talking earlier about just economic devastation. And so when an earthquake of this magnitude happens, how long is the recovery process? Yeah, I mean, the first thing that comes to mind actually is just the timing of any given earthquake in some ways is everything. With the one that just hit turkey and Syria, recovery teams are currently trying to sift through all the rubble while it's snowing and raining and, you know, the people who have been trapped for days waiting for rescue, they're trapped in freezing temperatures. There's never a good time for an earthquake as large as this one, but right in the middle of winter might actually be the worst. You're really racing against the clock here with how long someone's able to survive in such extreme weather before rescue team actually finds and reaches the person. And even when it's not snowing, it's usually pure chaos after an earthquake this large. Roads, water supply, salt towers, so many of the systems that we rely on to communicate to travel to reach people can crumble in an instant. You know, I've been thinking a lot in these last few days about just how you even physically count an account for more than 12,000 bodies in such a short span of time. And none of this is even recovery, right? We're still in the rescue and survival phase of this earthquake. Maybe Ron could talk more about what it takes to actually recover and rebuild and whether people even come back to a place after they've been displaced by disaster. I mean, Ron, you went back to New Zealand like 7, 8 years after the 2011 earthquake, right, to see how Christ church had recovered, and you were telling me a lot of downtown still felt like a ghost town. Yeah, it really did. And the unfortunate thing, we all talk about recovery as if we can get back to exactly what it was like before the earthquake. But the troubling secret is, is that you don't ever get there. I mean, if you look at the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, you could argue that San Francisco never really truly recovered. Or that it took many, many decades to do so because a lot of people just moved out of San Francisco. Moved to the east bay. Even if you look at downtown Los Angeles after the northridge quake, there were a lot of brick buildings, and all those lots that now exist like randomly and downtown LA. You know, a lot of those were taken down after the 94 northridge earthquake. So earthquakes will irreparably change a place forever. And it's about how do you improve the situation going forward. But you can never really get back to where you were before the earthquake. Yeah, and in a place like Syria and turkey and that whole area with just the geopolitics and the conflicts that already happening, I mean, I think even in a place like California rebuilding is so bureaucratic and so political, I'm a heartbroken and she's like, I don't even know where to start to think about what recovery will look like in the areas that I've been hit. So that's why it's so important to prevent the damage before it happens. That's the best way to avoid having to even think about

"The ultimate disaster that's always on the back of the minds of Californians has happened. The big one hit. In turkey and Syria, rescuers are racing to find survivors in the rubble of thousands of buildings, brought down by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake and multiple aftershocks. At the time of this recording over 35,000 people confirmed dead, and the counts rising. With morgues and cemeteries overwhelmed in many areas of the turkey quake zone, bodies lie wrapped in blankets, rugs and tarps in the streets of some cities. Rescue teams from all over the world quickly descended upon the wreckage, including those from the Los Angeles County fire department. President Joe Biden says the U.S. is providing $85 million in initial earthquake aid to turkey and Syria. It's one of the deadliest earthquakes so far in the 21st century and the carnage in turkey and Syria has many of us in California beyond thinking. How could we prepare when something like this happens here? I'm Gustav ariano. You're listening to the times. Essential news from the LA times. It's Monday, February 13th, 2023. Today, we explore the aftermath of this earthquake, look at some of the deadliest ones in history, and ask whether we ever learned from them. Now, this is technically an episode of mass of disastrous. But I'm not going to ask for music at this time, Maestro. Because honestly, I'm scared. I don't like earthquakes. Don't like them at all. Ever since I fell from the top bunk during the 1987 Whittier narrows one here in Southern California. And that one was just a magnitude 5.9. A broken collarbone is nothing compared to what's going on right now, of course. But still, I'll admit it. I'm scared. So thank God we have our masters of disasters here to calm us in these shaky times. Joining us as always in the earthquake chair is Ron land, Ron, what song do you think when you're scared? I just start counting. Usually it's when an earthquake is actually happening and just start counting. Yeah, no, anything to just keep you calm. Although county, that's scary 'cause what happens if you count more than ten? Exactly. Anyways, our Cassandra the coast has always as Rosanna sha who also used to cover earthquakes. Do you miss covering them Rosanna? I feel like I never quite escaped them. I mean, we do live in California. And this will probably be the theme of today, but you should never, ever stop thinking about earthquakes. Yeah, too often too many of us do sadly. So Ron, what made the earthquake in turkey so devastating? So this was a supersized quake directly underneath a heavily populated area. A magnitude 7.8 quake is massive. It's something that we haven't seen in California since the 1906 great earthquake that nearly wiped off San Francisco. People might remember being afraid of the northridge earthquake of 94, which was a magnitude 6.7. But if you think about it, the strongest shaking really only affected the San Fernando valley. If you're an Orange County, it wasn't that bad. But a 7.8 would be catastrophic with violent shaking all over Southern California. And you know what's crazy about that 94 quake, it wasn't that bad in Orange County and yet the swimming pool of my parents. It completely emptied out and flooded our living room just because of the waves. Yeah, no, it got that bad. And it's not just the earthquakes themselves Ron. There's always aftershocks and in turkey just hours later, there was also a big aftershock. So how did that further affect what's happening? Right. So first, let's explain what an aftershock is. And aftershock is just a fancy word for a follow-up earthquake. It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be not a big deal, which I think a lot of people think of. And think of earthquakes as relieving strain, people think that strain is relieved, but that strain doesn't just disappear. It will also transition onto other faults. And that transitioning onto other faults is what causes subsequent earthquakes. And so in the turkey, the turkey quakes are really interesting. So you had the first 7.8 quake that happened before dawn in the dark. And then 9 hours later, there was this 7.5 quake, which is a mega quake in and of itself with an epicenter of 60 miles away. And we all saw on TV how buildings collapse from that one. So it's just super important to remember that sometimes it's the second quake that's going to be the one that could kill you. We have examples of that, you know, a lot of people probably remember the ridgecrest quakes from a few years back. There was that quake that happened at night. And then just a little while later, it was actually a bigger quake that happened sometime later. And one thing to remember is that the last time supersized Quaker 7 point happened in Southern California was in 1857. And it was actually preceded by two smaller quakes, a 6.1 and a 5.6 in central California, and then we got the mass of 7.8 quake. So just remember that when the 7.8 happens, wherever you are, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over, there could be a pretty big massive quake just like we saw in turkey, a subsequent quake that could be the one that causes the problem for wherever you are in that area. And Ron, any time there's an earthquake that big, 7.8, 7.5 in areas with a lot of people, thousands are going to die, like what we've seen in turkey in Syria. When was the last time we had an earthquake this deadly? Yeah, I mean, just in 1999, there was an earthquake in northwestern turkey that killed about 17,000 people. Unfortunately, we have had even deadlier earthquakes. The Haiti earthquake in 2010, that killed somewhere in excess of 200,000 people. Oh my God. Yeah, and I mean, there's just so many over our lifetime. Rosanna, any come to mind to you? Yeah, I mean, to have to run this list, there was also that devastating earthquake in China in 2008 in the citron province where I think there was more than 87,000 people that died, that earthquake was also a magnitude 7.9. And I mean, I'll just add that it's surreal just to talk about so many earthquakes that killed thousands of people. Tens of thousands. Yeah, and the first earthquake I actually personally followed as a reporter was the one that hit New Zealand in 2011. That was a 6.2 earthquake that ruptured right under the city of Christchurch, which has a similar kind of building makeup as downtown Los Angeles. And that earthquake alone felt pretty huge to me. Like watching an entire concrete office building completely collapse onto itself. And the death total there was only a 185 people, which was extremely overwhelming to me at the time. So I'm honestly still processing the tens of thousands of people that have been killed in these other earthquakes and the thousands and thousands of people that were killed in turkey and Syria. The death toll just keeps growing every day every hour I check the news. And we often talk about the death toll after an earthquake, but the number of people displaced and also the number of people who have serious injuries that often get forgotten or are buried in the bottom of a report, but that's also worth noting. It's not just the tens of thousands of people that are dead. It's also the many thousands and millions that are still alive that have to live with the aftermath of just so much devastation. Yeah, and the people in turkey and Syria are going to have to deal with this for years, if not decades. So Ron, we now have cars that can drive themselves and chat bots that can write crappy essays. Why are we still so bad at predicting

"'cause all I've got nothing for you on that one. I have finally Trump the master comedian Rosanna. Yay, me. And finally, a big welcome to Lewis o'hagan, our master of masters, environment, animals, water, and so much more. Lewis, does a bear right in the Woods? You know, my answer to that is hang on to your pool toys, 'cause you're gonna need them pretty soon. Already set on the floods. Who cares about the bears? The bears are gonna beat us all anyways. Masters, welcome. And we're gonna start with Lewis 'cause I know that when we talk about water disasters in Los Angeles, nowadays, we're talking about a lack of water because no more rain anymore. But Louis, you've written about the great flood of 1862, the largest recorded flood in the history of California, Nevada, and Oregon. What on earth happened back then? 30 consecutive days of rain, triggered a flood that turned all central California into a Lake that could only be crossed by a boat and it changed the course of the LA river such that the mouth shipped it from Venice to Long Beach. More floods like that are going to be coming more often. In fact, scientists say that the chances of another flood of that scale have jumped from 1% in any given year to 2% in any given year because of climate change. And then they give it some nickname like the arc storm or something. Yeah, that's a title that was given this scale of impending flood by the U.S. geological survey. And the arc storm would be greater than that flood of 1862, but if it happened today, the damage, the chaos, the death would be far, far greater. They are saying that another flood like that in California, what cause one $1 trillion in damage, which would be larger than any catastrophe in recorded history. And I'm sorry, Ron. But earthquakes would be run a distant second. And if that happens, not only that, Rosanna, but then coming in from the Pacific is rising sea levels. So what does a one two combo like epic floods and rising seas do for coastal communities? Yeah, where do I start? So the first thing I'll say is when I hear about the extreme extreme floods Lewis is talking about. That's a sudden immense rush of water from the sky from swollen lakes and rivers. That's trying to get to the ocean as fast as it can. So what happens when the ocean is also rising at a high tide and El Nino or mega storm surge and the water from the ocean is also trying to push into the shores. That's a lot of water with nowhere to go and a lot of communities and people and infrastructure in the way. And so the numbers keep changing on sea level rise, but the research has increasingly focused on what they call combined risk events. So it's not just looking at sea level rise on its own. It's looking at how does that sync up with el ninos and expected extreme precipitation and the flood scenarios that Lewis has written so much about. And as of now, officials across California have committed on just the sea level rise front to preparing the state for at least three and a half feet of sea level rise by 2050. That's less than 30 years from now. And at least $8 billion in property in California could be underwater by 2050 based on recent studies, not 1 trillion in what Lewis just outlined, but 8 billion is still pretty remarkable if you think about how built out or infrastructure is along the coast. Studies are saying that an additional 10 billion is at risk during high tides on top of the projected sea level rise. The scariest thing about all of this, there's a saying that plumbers say water finds a way. So Ron, humans have tried to channel that water. And so long ago, Bill all sorts of concrete canals to divert the rainwater. The floodwater possibly into the ocean, how do they work? Yeah, so, you know, we've seen this all over the state. Human engineering is needed to evacuate water as quickly as possible to the ocean. And so in places like the LA basin and the central valley, it was westerners who decided to build cities where floodwaters were common. So in LA, there would be these floods that would continue happening and then finally in the 30s there was a decision made to build dams and line the LA river and other rivers with concrete with the goal to hold back excessive water during heavy rains behind dams and then the concrete along the rivers quickly dispatches out to the sea. Not only was this in LA thing, it was a thing up in the Sacramento valley. And Sacramento, for example, it's built where the Sacramento and American rivers meet, this was not an issue when indigenous peoples were the main population centers, but it is an issue when there were fixed cities. So a key strategy in the Sacramento valley is to set aside vast plains of farmland that connect as a kind of a flood superhighway that sense excess water traffic towards San Francisco Bay. In fact, back in 2017, there was so much rain that fell that the Yolo bypass was filled with water. This is basically farmland that is designated to be an inland sea, and you can see it when you're on interstate 80 west of Sacramento, when you're driving over it, most of the time, it's just a farmland, but during this period of time it was filled with water. And just a chime in here for a second. I mean, when you said water finds a way that just reminded me that it is important to note that because we have lined our rivers with concrete and also paved over much of the floodplain with roads and neighborhoods and homes. I mean, historically, if we weren't building on top of all of these systems and landscapes, the water would absorb by the riverbed or in the wetlands and all of that has kind of been altered, filled, paved over for our built environment. So water really doesn't have a place to go. And I think that's still important to note as well. There were natural systems within the floodplain coastal floodplain for this water to go somewhere.

"Hey, what's up? It's Gustav Ariana and it's Tuesday, may 17th, 2022. And today, on the times, daily news from the LA times, we've got border city, chapter 5. In this episode of the podcast from the San Diego union tribune, longtime border reporter Sandra dibble takes us back to the moment when the ariano Felix cartel and no, I'm not related to them by the way. When that cartel took a big hit when its leaders were killed. Rivals from Sinaloa then started jockeying for power and there was corruption at every level of law enforcement in Tijuana. Sandra says no one knew who to trust at the time. But as a cartel fueled violence continued, Sandra and the rest of the city lived their lives. Senator treated her visiting mom to handmade corn tortillas, cafe de Lea and eggs drench in mole. In Tijuana's upscale neighborhood, she took her brother to the famous Mercado Miguel hidalgo, which I've gone to my entire life 'cause it's amazing and they would go by tamales there. And senator even got on stage to play a noblewoman in a Tijuana performance of Romeo and Juliet. Then and now, Sandra says reporting on Tijuana can feel a lot like reporting on two totally different cities. And hey, if you've been liking these border stories, then make sure to find and follow border city on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen. Enjoy. Today, the FBI is placing Ramon Eduardo ariano Felix on our ten most wanted fugitive list. As the gangs enforcer, Ramon decided who got whacked as one U.S. official put it, officials say he once tested a new gun by killing a pedestrian, he happened to pass in his car. Something that from one used to constantly say, we're already damned. We're going to hell anyways. So there's no sense having a conscience about it. And a sunny Sunday afternoon in February 2002, Ramon adeno Felix, the number two men in the arena Felix drug cartel was shot dead. Photographs show his corpse sprawled outside of pharmacy in the Pacific Coast city of mazatlan, a semi-automatic pistol lies a few feet away with a number two painted in red on the handle. Nearby is the body of the cop who shot him. Ramon death and the shocking events that followed that year would eventually lead to the collapse of one of the world's most feared drug cartels, but that kingpin theory, the idea that drug trafficking and violence.

"Hey, what's up? It's me Gustav ariano. As you know, the times podcast is dedicated to bringing you fascinating stories from entertainment news to climate change developments to the random tales we should care about. With your support, you make shows like the times possible and help independent journalism keep you informed. If you haven't already, consider subscribing at just $1 for 6 months. So go to LA times dot com slash exclusive to subscribe today. Gracias. The 1619 Project began as a work of journalism. Still is. It's still in us, but did you have grander plans from the beginning that you see what it could become? Hell no. No. The original project was a grand plan. Never in the history of the times has a single issue of the magazine, a special section and a podcast series been dedicated to one thing. So even just pitching that was extremely ambitious and it also then came with a great risk. I talk a lot about how in the week before publication I was like sick. I couldn't sleep. I was worried because I had commanded all of these resources from the times as a black woman on a project about slavery. And if no one read it, if no one cared, you know this. That is a long time. It closes the door. So we bear responsibility. If a white journalist teaches something ambitious and it doesn't work out, that reflects on that journalist. But if a black journalist teaches something ambitious and it doesn't work out, it reflects on all of us. The day we laid printed out the entire magazine and put it up on the wall in the room so that we could see it in its entirety in a Wesley Morris and I who wrote the music essay, he was at work that day, and I called him in. And we just embrace each other and started sobbing. I think it's a really powerful message that you don't have to be in some exalted position to start something. And I think that's an example, bleeding from where you are, but still the scope, the resources, all of what went into it, how did you make that happen inside a place like The New York Times? Ancestral intervention? I say that kind of jokingly and kind of not, because I'm agnostic, I'm not. I'm not a religious person, but it's been so strange on this project because I have just felt something like some act of intervention in so many times because there's no reason this project should exist as it does. Knowing everything that we know about the industry to have really unprecedented amount of resources to put into a project about slavery that, by the way, it was like, you know, what made the project powerful was we were unflinching. We were not telling a story that we were worried about. How does the typical New York Times reader respond to this? Will the typical New York Times reader feel comfortable? Which is so often news decisions get driven by who are the consumers of news. And we just didn't do that. It was in response to that question we've all gotten, which is, for everyone's a long time ago, why don't you get over it? Black people are constantly having to answer that question in a country that can't get over slavery. And we were trying to force an acknowledgment of this thing we've treated as an asterisk that has never been asterix, right? Like people are like, oh, everybody knows slavery happened. Yeah, but we act like slavery was like two paragraphs in the story. Over there somewhere. And that the constitution is so divine that we can't even mess with it. It's shapes so much of our policy, our law, you know, you have originalists who think it was like the tablets, the stone tablets. And yet somehow slavery were told has nothing to do with our society today. And that just doesn't, it's not logical. So this project was trying to do that. But I also had to be in a certain place in my career to brightness forth. So you have to work as hard as you can to make yourself undeniable. They might still deny you in the end, but you have to put yourself in a position to be undeniable. And by the time I picked the 1619 Project, I had a track record of showing you could do these long form investigative pieces about racial inequality that infuse a lot of history and people would actually care and read them. So we take the project to book form. 7 new essays, more than a thousand in notes. A list long list, very impressive list of peer reviewers. Yes. What was revised? What was in hand and how did you go about constructing the book? So the beauty of the book is having faith, two years of scrutiny, two years of critique, some of it, much of a bad faith, but some of it good critique, legitimate critique. We were able to use that to really strengthen perfect the project and show our work. So every essay, if you read the original project, every single essay has been expanded significantly. And then we have new essays that go into different areas that we weren't able to talk about in the original project. So for instance, we didn't deal with settler colonialism or India removal in the original project, which I always knew was a gaping hole. You can't talk about slavery without talking about the first people who were enslaved by the colonists, which were indigenous people. And then the fact that you can't expand slavery unless you steal the land. So that was necessary. We have an amazing piece, which I actually think of all the pieces in the book will probably be most surprising to kind of your more casual reader. Because it also talks about the 5 so called civilized tribes who engage in chattel slavery, which we also don't learn about. That there were black folks on the trail of tears, but they were enslaved. We don't talk about that. So there's an essay about that. We have an essay that talks about the patient revolution. And how it impacts the United States as well. The first project, I was very intentional that we weren't dealing with the Diaspora. I always feel like black Americans are asked to hold the weight of the entire black Diaspora and we can never just have our own story. And this was a story about us. But having done that, now in the book form, we were able to expand it out. One thing about me is I do care deeply about the work, the research, my credibility as a journalist. So when all of these people were trying to attack the project and especially that couple paragraphs about the American Revolution, I was like, okay, you don't know me because I would just read more and study more and sharpen and now that section which was a couple paragraphs is.

"And I know it's important to a lot of families. And it's an idea that we have taken and we're going to do something with. It's just one representation of getting closer to community. And I think there are lots of ideas that people have of how we can bridge the gap between us as journalists and those who we want to consume our journalism. Sometimes before you get people to subscribe to you. You have to have them understand you and you understand them. And them to see you. And to know you. And so I think a lot of it even before you get to subscriptions sometimes it's like you have to do that groundwork. You have to lay the groundwork for the subscriptions. Yeah, if we're going to do portraits, let's make sure not to go through Kmart because those portraits get yellow like 20 years later. We have some of the best photographers in the country. So I think we'll be all right. You know it? So what kind of journalism do you want people to come to the LA times four? We're in a time where people seem to want more bias and news, not less. And younger reporters are questioning the very idea of objectivity and journalism. Historically, columns and opinion pieces were about feelings and the rest of the paper was about facts, but some want those walls completely torn down. You know, I think the newspaper, it's really a smorgasbord, a storytelling. You have the opportunity to hit people with a lot of different a range of storytelling. You know, for some people, it's utility. If they want to have the world explain to them, they want to also know where the best hikes are, the best burritos are. They want to know where the wildfires are. They want to know when and how to spot earthquakes. There's a lot you do there. And others, they want really strong local accountability journalism. When you get to opinion, I'm a big fan, I'm a big proponent of extending opinion. More first person essays more commentary in different forms and video and audio, opinion is a catalyst for understanding and to stir debate. And so I think if anything I want the journalists to be even more ambitious, I want us to be more ambitious on the biggest topics that people are paying attention to. And so you have to build a big edifice where you have ambitious journalism and you have a lot of other ways for people to come at storytelling. We could have the most ambition and the best stories around, but it doesn't matter if we're not making money and thank God we have a benevolent billionaire owner, but how are we doing financially right now? We certainly was a tough year, a lot of people have had tough years. $50 million lost in 2020 before you came on. In COVID, a lot of businesses have struggle. That's the reality of it. You have to figure out how to make money and sometimes in the challenging industry. And we have both a mission, you know, we're a civic institution. It's also a business, right? It's not a nonprofit. So we balance that with our civic responsibilities, the sense that we should be there for people to be a place where you can get really good informative information to hold institutions accountable and all of the other things that newspapers traditionally have been. And yet we have to continue to try to build revenue. Last year, The New Yorker did a profile in our owner, doctor Patrick soon, and in it, you said that you and doctor soon still hadn't found a quote cadence, have the two of you at least found a common melody so far? The question I was simply asked was just do I have a regularly scheduled meeting? I see him. I talk to him or text him, communicate with him, as often as I like and him with me. He's a very accessible owner. In my experience, you know, never had one who owned a company and has as many business interests more accessible to him. You know, and I worked with Jeff Bezos, too. So I'm not worried about that. Okay, so what are we going to do in 2022? What are the things that you could tell our listeners to watch out for the times that we're going to do this year to just dominate? We're going to continue to build our podcast slate. We're going to do more to use the term with our IP. We're going to do a lot of ambitious journalism. One of the most undercover topics that we have that cuts across a lot of lines is mental health. You know, I think there'll be a lot more attention to that topic. In terms of ambition, you'll see some new exciting storytelling and some other surprises that I don't want to spoil. Are we sacrificing our journalism, though in this quest to make ourselves more relevant? Not all. I haven't seen any sacrificing of journalism. I think the journalist has really been strong. You know, we have a lot of award winning journalism that we've done, right? I mean, California medical board reporting about that. You know, our coverage of the rust shooting involving Alec Baldwin on set. We've been dominant there. We essentially are reporting pretty much change the whole architecture and how the Golden Globes would perceive. So I see no sacrifice in the journalism and no let down in the journalism. Yeah, I think the reason I ask because I think I see the news of us hiring 15 people for a meme team and expanding events and outsiders will think, well, that's not really journalism. That's just like, you know, trying to boost up our Cred for the youngsters or something. Well, I don't see it that way. I think one of the things that you have to have in today's world. Everybody has a strong social presence. Social media is the way that so many people consume what we do and how our work gets amplified. And you have to create social content. You have to take your journalism and sometimes create work to bring people to it in the platforms where they are. And so it's a big driver. It's a very competitive space. How people come to you is really important. And so investing in.

But what's needed to move the needle. He argued is more direct investment from high powered producers of latin american descent specifically. Everybody we were were not represented were not represented not represent you know. I have to say the reason. We're not represented. Is that people on top not caucasian. Latin american people do not want to produce phil but your point about the the representations issue that we just don't have enough latino financiers of films producers is what you're saying exactly you know and it's stop clients.

Relax and enjoy stories of south west fifty years of flying. Because you never know who. You'll meet the next time you hear. Is this seat open trae. Who grew up in the bario culture of the san fernando valley in the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixty s from an early age. He understood the true distance between the glitter of nearby hollywood and his world of drug dealing and bare knuckle. Violence grabbed you by the throat and threaten threatening to break every bone in. Your body was abused. I didn't know giving marijuana when you were eight. Was sharing it stuff like this. Trae hall writes that eventually got him hauled into a police station for the first time at the age of ten from that point on. He spent years engaging in criminal mayhem in the san fernando valley and up and down the state cycling through juvenile and state prisons and never expecting to come out alive but over the course of trails life. His experience with criminality would collide with hollywood one. Crystallizing episode came when trump. Who was wayne offers to appear in two films in the early nineteen ninety s one was american me to be directed by edward james olmos. The other was blood in out by taylor. Halford both sought to tell the story of the founding of the mexican mafia trae ho with his chest of tattoos and years of time served would have been a great fit in eater film. There was a problem though. The mexican mafia or ma is highly secretive and torius for its ruthless. Executions word was already getting around the penitentiary system. That the american meese script took some offensive narrative liberties related to prison rate into the ms fraternal codes. In order that we're upsetting real world. Gang leaders the proposed film would also explicitly use the term. Na which is another big no-no you ever. Jeans is great actors. Unbelievable actor but you gotta. We walked into into jerry's deli in encino okay. He walks in worrying county jail shirt but to the opening and do look like like an easterly. Chiloe and so. I'm trying to figure out dow's doing this to be my friend or i didn't. I didn't understand that kind of getting into character. The first question we asked was. Hey did you get permission from joe to do. The job organ was the leader of the mexican mafia and the mexican mafia l- was was not like the john gotti who wanted to be in the papers. Okay just before a second meeting with almost tranquil. Got a message. Joe morgan the guy trae who warned about wanted to talk to him the infamous joe quote unquote. Peg-leg morgan incarcerated at the time at county jail was then the living dawn of the according to traco. Joe morgan doesn't call people unless he saying you're dead. Who took the call the home phone of his friend eddie. Bunker an old industry insider who he met in prison. Joe morgan got right down to business on. Never forget it. He had to be the age old. What's up and he goes down. You know what medicine serious owns understand. Europe for that movie of american me and yeah. I'm up for both of them up for a month for blood in blood out do. He's which are you gonna do. I says you gonna do blood in blood out on. Never forget joe morgan's oh yeah oh. That's a cute one this movie about about mexican killers and said quinton. That's the cute one so we talked needs to even to daddy you. Don't you could do the other one. you could do. American me of you want nothing would happen. But i know i wouldn't israel. I wouldn't disrespect the people that i know almost not respond to a request for comment about the passage in the book or about trucco statements for this story in the book trek. Oh emphasizes again. His admiration for almost and his advocacy for latinos and people of color in hollywood almost made american me as a morality. Play to warn you about the dangers of prison life. Yet the stories ripple effects in the real world were unmistakable to consultants. Who worked on the film were killed including a beloved gang intervention worker named anna lisa. I think four people got killed out here directly because that movie and about eight or nine killed in prison directly behind that move..

He spoke with emotion and sometimes snorted a rubbed his face with both hands. It was as if he was bracing himself against the pain of experience in the state penitentiary system. That took up half his life. I was doing a film. With mickey rourke and we were doing in new mexico and i played this insane killer and and it was strange. The direct route say okay. Let's do that we do it. And he's a danny hon. You do it. It's like you go to this maniac and then all of us. I watch you and you go what i say. Cut you immediately. Go over and play with your kids. And he says most accurate they get into that zone and they want to stay there. When i'm playing that insane crazy person. It's like i been there. I've seen that. I've lived that you know i don't i don't want to be there. There's times that. I've been acting. And then i stop and i'm gonna throw up because that place that you can go to is is very very real. It's like i love working with like all the wanna be tough guys and convy killer in hollywood because you look at a menu. No as tough as you are you would be paying protection to some little five foot six mexican. That's how tall danny trae. Ho really is by the way. But it's his face that captures people's attention. It's famously mangled. By the years. He spent in prison offering an ideal expressive palette for the actor he became he can convey rage and humor like few other villains on screen. Some of these stories have been told. The many have informed his wildly prolific word and the most important are collected in his new memoir. Trae ho my life of crime. Redemption and hollywood he co authored with his longtime friend and fellow. Actor donal lobe. You know if there was a group of us standing on a corner. When i was young the cops into lovey with a you compare always just i just had the phaser the body that stuck out but as far as hollywood. I don't think i ever been discriminated against. I work all the time. And i was a inmate number one bad guy and i didn't know that i was being stereotype. I just do. I was working in fact the young lady probably fresh out an interview school. You know she asked me a danny. Don't you think you're being typecast. And i didn't know what that was about. What what do you mean. Well you're always playing the mean.

He was there to help someone onset. Who's battling through addiction addiction recovery. Then his career took off at first quietly with a string of tiny rolls as prisoner inmate or tuck inmate run but by nineteen ninety-five pray ho shared a riveting death scene with robert deniro in michael mann's movie heat one of my all time favorites and one of many displaying trae skill at portraying someone on the brink of death he says even deniro wasn't crises death of the century so funny when i was doing that to get a compliment from robert deniro and he helped me up off the ground. There's a lot of talk in the hollywood community about the constant use of the gangster. Trowell kind of bob ewell stories but at the same time some actors will say well. That's giving us work. We're training in our craft were reflecting the streets. Where do you lie on that argument. And how do you some of these films. You know that you were under leader career in today's mindset days as long as the bad guy dies or goes to prison. I don't care okay. You know what i mean. It's like i won't do a movie or the best guy lives in. I got ninety six deaths. Now i think and i got the record for death in film you know just. I worked a lot for me. Is i like yeah. Let's tell those stories. Yeah let's let's get them right you. Let's get right. it's you know what. Why do you. Why or why are prisons full of african american and mexican. Because you know jobs aren't available. There's a lot of things going on that. They're putting us in prison right now. I honestly believed that. Probably fifteen percent of the people that are in prison belong in prison. You know what i mean. We could do other things with with with the other. Fifteen percent you said percentage fifteen hundred eighty five percent of people in prison. Don't don't need to be there. Yeah i honestly believe that we could do something else. Non-violent drug addicts do not belong in prison most of the dealers they got in prison. Were dealing to support their habits. You don't mean it was like you got a i got a quarter. I'm going to cut it up. And i'm going to sell this. I'm going to use this. You know don you know it's like i. I know some of the big dealers that were in prison. Why do you think people still want to see these kinds of films and love. Even american people still watch it. People watch blending dow On your in withdraw. Their people want identify with violence. First of all secondly they wanna see heroic characters and like. I said as long as the bad guy loses.
