From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m Ari Shapiro in Culver City California and I m Audie Cornish in Washington the Wall Street Journal is reporting that federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating President Trump s 2017 inaugural committee specifically they re looking at whether the committee misspent some of the $107000000.00 it raised from donations Rebecca is one of those reporters she worked on the story and she joins me now welcome to the program Hi Thanks for having me so give us more detail on the allegations here I understand there s kind of 2 different sets of allegations here so it seems that federal prosecutors are looking at 2 different parts of the Inaugural Committee one of them is how the committee spent its money and whether there was any misspending there and the other is that the donors who gave to the committee and whether they received any improper access or policy concessions in return for their donations and I understand the investigation grew out of a recording that was seized in the raid of Michael Cohen s home earlier this year prison terms of former personal attorney that s right so when they raided his home office and hotel room in April f.b.i. Agents obtained a recording of a conversation between Cohen and Stephanie Winston while Coffee who was a former advisor to Trump who worked on the inauguration and in that recording. Expressed some concern about how the Inaugural Committee is spending its money the way it s been described to us so what have you learned in your reporting about who prosecutors are looking at specifically So that s an area that we re still looking into what we know that prosecutors have spoken to people one of them is Frank who is a donor who gave $1000000.00 to the inauguration and later hired Michael Cohen at to help him obtain a loan from President Trump Energy Department we know that he has been asked for documents related to his generation and for any correspondence he had with the committee. Meetings calendars things like that we also know that Rick Gates who was the deputy chairman of the committee has been asked questions about the inaugural fund and rickets pleaded guilty earlier this year and agreed to cooperate with investigators so we know that he s met with Mahler s office and with the Southern District of New York What s been the response from members of the Inaugural Committee who have you reached out to. So there are a number of really prominent donors who gave to that committee or were on its finance committee and we by no means understand that that investigators have reached out to all of them Sheldon Adelson is one for example that we know has not been reached out to he was a really believe he gave $5000000.00 and has been a long time backer of the president s And then Tom Barrett who headed the committee we also have no sign that he s a target of this investigation he has not been contacted since and by investigators since he spoke to Mahler s office last year and at that point he was asked a handful of questions about the you know a girl but it was not the focus of his interview and anything from the White House the White House hasn t responded to our questions about this matter there s no indication that there are aware of the investigation or at least they were aware of it before he reported it and not something that they would necessarily need to take to the president s lawyers because we don t have any sense that they re investigating Trump s spending Fanaa girl money but it s fair to say that if the investigation continues at that it seems like an area that they would look into That s Rebecca Paul House reporter with The Wall Street Journal thanks for sharing your reporting thanks for having me. It s been quite a week for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi she sparred on national television with President Trump and got him to say he d take the blame if the government shutdown and she struck a deal with insurgent Democrats that all but ensures she will be elected speaker of the House in January remember Nancy. He was the target of Republican attacks in the midterm election and was considered so divisive that a sizable chunk of Democrats campaigned on a pledge to elect different leaders So now let s bring in n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snell to explain how Palosi managed to come out on top by Kelsey there what did Posey do to get the Democratic holdouts to support her as the next speaker Well she basically agreed to term limits for all House Democrats leadership not just herself and the deal would allow leaders of her for 3 tier terms or 6 years which means that she personally would only have one term left since she was already speaker from 2007 to 2011 and I m told it was more or less coincidental that the deal came together this week it happened just a day after that big memorable Oval Office meeting but Palosi seems to be really taking charge this week even if it isn t you know that the 2 things came together simultaneously Democrats will have to vote to affirm this agreement but Palosi says she d stick to the deal even if it isn t officially adopted into house rules here s how she explained it to us reporters earlier today I feel very comfortable that what they are proposing and I feel very responsible to to do that whether it passes are not healthy doesn t sound like this is a huge sacrifice for polo see how much of a concession was this it s really easy to argue that it isn t much of a concession at all remember she s 78 years old and she s been talking about herself as a transitional figure since before the election now this is an opportunity for her to make good on that promise if anything it s really a good example of the kind of deal maker she has not just that she s a good one but what she does to get there basically everyone got to walk away from that saying they won something 1st she knocked out the only person who was a potential competitor that was Marcia Fudge of Ohio who just you can remember a few weeks ago was floated as a potential speaker possibility while she created a new job for her and now fudge will be leading a committee on Election Integrity basically Plus he s playing all of her leadership cards and she kind of slowly. Picks off her opponents and has offered them everything in the box of cards she has committee positions leadership jobs she s got a lot of tools to play and she s playing on we hear a lot about what a skilled negotiator Palosi is but does this mean the criticism against her is over well no it s criticisms criticism of her will go on she s been in power for a long time and that s not going away the criticism that she is out of touch with her party at a time when they re divided that s also still really true it also doesn t mean that she ll get unanimous support from Democrats in January actually just a few weeks when they have the speaker s vote on January 3rd a majority of the people who vote against her may well be those new members who pledged to vote against her in the campaign but she really is certainly more powerful than she was just before the election we have to remember the Democrats gain 40 seats and that s really huge no matter how you look at it she ll definitely have to referee disputes between moderates and liberals who can both rightfully claim that they made huge gains in this election and her critics aren t going to get any quieter they ll just have more demands and they ll want her to not negotiate with Trump and negotiate with them n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snell thank you thank you. As we just heard the Democratic opposition to the speakership wasn t enormous but it was loud and committed so it sounds like he will not be able to rely on your vote. And I will not be voting for now that was Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan on the show last month today he announced he would vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house after she agreed to limit her tenure I asked him why that changed his mind I think there was a recognition from Leader Pelosi that she was going to be a transitional candidate and that we do have an enormous amount of talent in our Democratic caucus the people know that they voted for change and we re going to give them the change that they want and this agreement while it s not everything that I wanted it is certainly one that brings the party together but also puts real reforms in place for the future of our caucus with 6 year terms on the top leadership what does this mean for that new crop of Democrats though who campaigned telling voters that they would not vote for her well there was a number of the candidates that won in the lot of the purple districts across the country that came down saying they were going to vote for a new leader they were going to vote for change this also frees them up to meet that obligation that they made to their constituents which was a very important for me to make sure that they could do that but also addresses the change that is needed and puts that reform in place and you know when you re making a deal everybody gets something of what they want and everybody you know leaves some on the table that they couldn t get you had challenge the 2 years ago for the speakership you were not successful and over time there has been this perception that dissenters basically don t have anyone powerful enough to challenge police see that there isn t someone who has the votes why can t anyone else get momentum Well part of why we wanted to get this reform in places because you can accumulate a good deal of power. Over the years and so it becomes very very tough to overcome that you know we want to strong leader but at the same time you know we don t want someone that can always prevent other people from coming up because that influx of ideas and in people from different backgrounds moving into our leadership is a really important part of what it means to be a Democrat and we want to keep that in place the best we can moving forward did this debate take way time from the work of crafting a Democratic agenda for the new conference I don t think so I mean you know people always throw up their hands and say well we can t have a fight right now I mean there s there s never a good time to have an argument you know we can walk and chew gum at the same time we have very capable members of the Democratic caucus who have been crafting a agenda for the Democrats and I think that work continued while this debate was taking place going forward into this new Congress are you confident that she ll be able to keep the caucus together on important votes and big moments Well if we re going to be challenged I think it s going to be hard I mean we ve got you know obviously we saw it the other day at the White House how difficult it is to try to nail down and in the go she ate with Donald Trump we also have the Senate there and I think internally we have a very broad coalition we have a number of members who got elected in represent purple districts or you know Republican plus 5 or 6 point this tricks and we have a new crop of a few progress of us and everybody in between all the way over to what we call the blue dogs and people who represent more conservative Democratic views are all in our caucus and we only have a few seats to give away if there s a big vote that we need to have so it s it s going to challenge all of us to figure out how to come together on issues that we can all agree on and try to move the country forward it s going to be a lot of work for us to move forward as Congressman. Tim Ryan Democrat from Ohio thank you for speaking with All Things Considered Thanks for having me. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News.

News I m Audie Cornish in Washington and I m Ari Shapiro in Culver City California in Joan grazes long career she has watched more than 12000 movies she pays close attention to the Gore sex and foul language because graves chairs the board of parents who determine movie ratings from g. To n.c. 17 now she s preparing to retire from her role the Motion Picture Association of America so we ve invited her here into the studio to talk about how she views movies Welcome thank you her background is in commercial real estate and financial services so how did you get into the movie writing business it was accidental I was at a cocktail party and I was talking to a publisher from New York and another friend and he have a deli thought I sounded very sensible and I put that sensible in quotes and told the then chairman of the rating system Richard Hefner that I would be a good person for his board because we had talked about movies a lot and he knew I enjoyed going to the movies and taking my family what makes a good person for a board like this somebody that is sensible and that can reflect standards rather than want to set them and I know when I look to add people to the board parents with agendas if you say why would you like to join us why would you like to be on the rating board I remember one lady said because I want to get the f. Word out of movies and I said Wait that s Do we we give information about what s there we don t tell filmmakers what they can put their. The difference between a p.g. 13 rating and an r rating can mean millions of dollars for a filmmaker as I m sure you are well aware how much lobbying goes into the rating of a film I saw a trend almost 2 decades ago of the directors having to sign contracts to deliver a film rated a certain rating or less and because of that we created a position of a filmmaker liaison so that if filmmakers had any questions in the production stage even the scripts stage or stage they could talk to us if they had to craft their material so that they didn t exceed what they had signed the contract for can you give us an example of a film that wanted to be p.g. Or p.g. 13 vet adjusted the way the filmmaker was planning to do things in order to get that right a filmmaker came to me once and he said he had been thinking of doing a movie about a known person who was a womanizer and a drug user and the contract could only be for 13 and he didn t want to sign it if he couldn t print trade this man s life in a way that was realistic but also not vaulting the film into our territory and the way we talked and what you could depict and what you couldn t he ended up signing the contract and made a very very effective movie and it was the movies halfway it was Ray and it got Academy Award I shouldn t about rain on A.B.C. s suspense and I m going. Again but you re going to have to make it work right you do what you do baby. If you remember the movie you definitely got all the aspects of his life but not in a way that a parent would say Oh my goodness you should never have seen that. We hear all the time from listeners who disagree with the editorial choices we ve made about what content to put on the air do you hear from parents all the time who say how could you have rated this film this way I do I when anybody calls in our e-mails I always ask how their children are what part of the country they re from and if in fact they ve seen the movie because sometimes complaints are an orchestrated campaign with an agenda can you give us an example well for instance the South the Southerners care much more about blasphemy than the rest the parts of the country taking the Lord s name and then sort of thing yes we found that Midwesterners care more about nudity and sexuality and the coasts are more concerned about the violence because they have bigger cities and there s more violence in big cities so it s a very interesting situation when we re rating for the whole country and the parents on the board have to think in terms of the whole country because they re reflecting standards not setting them that s so interesting to think these ratings take on less importance in an era when there is so much streaming content on so many different platforms seeing a movie is a choice when you sign up for it at home or to pay per view or you go to the theater you make a choice and they want to be sure of what they re choosing so we have very very high interest in the ratings because of that I think because they want to know what they re paying their money and devoting their time to going out to see. Joan Graves is the going to share of the classification and rating administration for the Motion Picture Association of America I shall retire next year thanks so much for coming to the studio thank you I loved the movie Roma is seen by critics as an Oscar worthy masterpiece for director Alfonso cuarón but as N.P.R. s Jasmine Doris reports behind the scenes the film is part of a battle between streaming services such as Netflix and movie theaters they re fighting over who gets to show the movies 1st to promote on the big screen or on a digital streaming service that is the question it s not a new one just last year at the Toronto Film Festival the makers of I taunt you were looking for distribution and they reportedly turned down Netflix why because they wanted I Tonya in movie theaters and they probably wanted to qualify for an Oscar which actress Allison Janney won I didn t stay home making out Brown Betty said No I made you a champion No when you paid me for it that s the sacrifice the mother makes Scott Feinberg an awards columnist for The Hollywood Reporter explains the Oscars are about rewarding the best movies not t.v. Shows so that means you have to have had at least what they call a qualifying run in theaters in New York and l.a. That little golden statuette carries a lot of weight you get more audience interest more money more work opportunities and your film gets written into the history books and all this presents a come none drum for Netflix as it tries to stand out among a growing number of streaming services Michael Pachter is a media analyst at Wedbush Securities Netflix is goal is to be a major production company that makes compelling content that is available exclusively on Netflix to give consumers a reason to sign up and stay as subscribers in order to do this Netflix needs to attract a list talent and they want Oscars Netflix has yet to get a Best Picture Oscar to do so. It has to premiere its films in theaters in other words Netflix needs the movie theater to kill the movie theater the new movie might be a chance to. Buy. But it s also in black and white in Spanish with subtitles and with unknown actor unlikely to be a blockbuster so quiet on needed Netflix Jopek a former executive at Fox Searchlight Pictures says Netflix can give this movie a wide streaming audience. Right away. 30000000 people in a rare move Netflix is showing the film 1st in cinemas nationwide and just for a few weeks. But right now. Will this bring Netflix a best picture Oscar Scott Feinberg from the Hollywood Reporter says times are changing the reality is we re sort of swimming upstream at this point because people are increasingly consuming movies in other ways thanks not only to primarily to nuff flicks you know people love the convenience of being able to click a few buttons and watch from their couch but for the moment the way to win that best picture is.

News I m Jake s again arose in Strasbourg. I am. This year has brought several reminders of the dangers that journalists face around the world for speaking out there was the killing of Washington Post columnist from the imprisonment of Reuters reporters in Myanmar now the Committee to Protect Journalists has a new report saying more than $250.00 journalists around the world are in jail as a result of their work Robert Mahoney is PJ s deputy executive director and he joins us now Hyder. This is the 3rd year in a row that you ve said more than $250.00 journalists are imprisoned around the world what does that tell you it tells us that there s a creeping all Thora Terry and his and globally dictators and so-called strong mentally that is cracking down on independent journalism and criticism from the Philippines all the way through Turkey and even here or in the Americas I also just want to clarify that this report isn t looking at the threat journalists face in war threats of injury or death this is soley cracking down on people for what they ve published absolutely this is a form of state censorship through imprisonment this is the deliberate targeting of journalists and bloggers by governments who do not want their voice to be hood now you mention Turkey and in the last few months Turkey has taken a leading role in illuminating Saudi Arabia s responsibility for the death of one journalist Jamal Khashoggi but your report shows that Turkey is actually the worst offender when it comes to jailing journalists yet Turkey has been at the top of all this for several years now and there are some 68 journalists in jail this year things got really bad as to the failed coup back in 2016 so it s extremely ironic that the president of Turkey president Adeline should be the one that is giving us the details about the murder of a journalist when he himself continues to throw journalists behind and of course Turkey has been accusing Saudi Arabia of this Saudi Arabia itself according to your report has more than doubled the number of journalists in jail compared to a year ago the number this year is 16 up from 7 what s happening there well what s happening is that despite the rhetoric and the millions of dollars that crown prince Solomon is spending on lobbyists and p.r. Consultants here and in the United States and Europe behind that image of a reformer and a young modernist is a good old fashioned or thorough Tarion who cannot stand criticism there are 16 journalists in jail in Saudi Arabia by our count 4 female journalists who were thrown in jail for report. An all women s rights and then we had that appalling murder of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul I mean one of the things that strikes me is that before the Arab Spring we had 13 journalists in jail in all the Arabic speaking countries of the Middle East now it s $63.00 and Egypt and Saudi Arabia account for a lot of the total another country that figures prominently on the list is China and one journalist we know who disappeared recently is the photo journalist Luke Wang a u.s. Resident who disappeared while on a trip to change on Province which is where the weaker Muslim minority lives China has been clamping down on that group today Lou gongs wife said police confirmed to the family that the photojournalist was in fact arrested how does this fit in with what we ve seen generally with journalists in China well China has always been very intolerant of independent journalism but this year there was a mocked up tick in the numbers arrested in most of those were in the west of China that least 10 of the journalist detained in China this year were in this in Jang region here in the u.s. President Trump regularly verbal attacks journalists calling them the enemy of the people are there any American journalists in the u.s. Who are actually in jail no not not in the u.s. As far as we know I mean journalists have been arrested and face increasing harassment whilst they re working but from the state itself no there are no journalists in jail that s said however the atmosphere in which independent journalists are working is pretty toxic at the moment with the president the United States using his pulpit in the White House to label him as enemies of the people and generally denigrate the work that they do in up holding democracy by holding power to account Robert Mahoney is deputy executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists thank you for joining us today thank you. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News. Filmmaker Barry Jenkins is best known for his Oscar winning film moonlight his new movie if Beale Street could talk is based on a James Baldwin novel and it s a love story set in 1900 Harlem critic Bob Mondello has this review Tish and funny are walking hand in hand through a park at the film s outset childhood soulmates they have just realized they re in love she s 19 he s 22 and on a plaza near the Hudson River they pause and look into each other s eyes. And. They kiss gently and the moment dissolves that was then that was innocence Tisha narrates a startling change as the park fades away. And nobody else and Manson again embodied in. Its months later and funny is now in jail set up by a racist cop for a crime he could not have committed to she is waiting for him in the visiting room and when he sees her his face lights up she s there to tell him that they re going to have a baby news that shocks image 1st and that then has both of them laughing with joy when he stops laughing and his eyes clouded to she presses her hand against the glass throwing territory. Anyway. And he and him going to take. Issue one. I m only sure path the moment dissolves again to the time before with fish remembering how funny built a life for himself starting in vocational school and then discovering he could work with wood not to make furniture but to make art today Amaryllis funny was another. Busy day Dave nominees to Director Barry Jenkins will spend the rest of Beale Street toggling between the love stories beginnings and the families in overdrive trying to. Get funny out of jail it s a rich mix of incidents taken from James Baldwin s 5th novel and brought to the screen in ways that are sometimes swoon worthy other times humorous says when Tish s family tussles with funnies judge mental mom a flashback to a scene with a friend just out of jail is so wrenching some of us have some. Day and that it s hard to imagine the film recovering and then there s dinner and Nina Simone. Hands health Grace said. The struggle to wait for another day. Jenkins wrote screenplays for both this film and for his Oscar winner moonlight in 2013 although he didn t have the rights to be a street back them his gamble that he d get them has now paid off in a film shot through with humor with righteous anger and almost always with just plain beauty cigarette smoke and sawdust swirling around a sculpture of Johnny s creating to the wailing of a saxophone. A little old that the characters must struggle against injustice is Bill streets theme but both the novel and the movie find hope in the love the Titian funny share love that actors Kiki lane and Stefan James portray with such heart in your throat rapture that it s contagious by the end of it s Beale Street could talk it was me who could barely talk.

News this is All Things Considered I m Audie Cornish and I m Ari Shapiro we re going to take a moment now to remember a pioneer of computer engineering Evelyn Bures and died over the weekend at age 93 she was the daughter of a seamstress and furrier who popularized word processing and defied the gender expectations of her industry Dagg Spicer is senior curator at the Computer History Museum she designed computers in the 1950 s. At the very dawn of the computer age that it was a job that perhaps 20 people and at the time among her designs the 1st computerized airline reservation system automated banking transactions and a system that computed artillery distances for the Pentagon a turning point came in 1960 the New York Stock Exchange asked her to design a new stock ticker and then abruptly pulled the offer I said why I was probably one of the 2 people in the world who could design a machine for that sparrows in a 2014 oral history recording for the Computer History Museum and he said you have to be on the stock market floor from time to time and the language on the floor was not for a woman serious it was devastating so she founded her own company redact drawn and developed her word processor it was a machine attached to a typewriter that could remember every keystroke allowing the user to correct mistakes and print clean copy it was revolutionary for secretaries who spent their days typing. Wrote a history of word processing and says bears and saw her work as part of a large social agenda it was explicitly framed in terms of the technologies potential to liberate women and allow them to move and say to other sectors of the workforce but that liberation was limited easier typing didn t mean that male bosses were about to do it for themselves it was an ego thing and one of the hardest things to break was that ego situation between a guy and his secretary as bearers and found out office culture would be harder to change than office technology.

Foundation. From n.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m Ari Shapiro in Culver City California and I m Audie Cornish in Washington the Wall Street Journal is reporting that federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating President Trump s 2017 inaugural committee specifically they re looking at whether the committee misspent some of the $107000000.00 it raised from donations Rebecca Paul house is one of those reporters who worked on the story and she joins me now welcome to the program Hi Thanks for having me so give us more detail on the allegations here I understand there s kind of 2 different sets of allegations yes so it seems that federal prosecutors are looking at 2 different parts of the Inaugural Committee one of them is how the go Committee spent its money and whether there was any misspending there and the other is that the donors who gave to the committee and whether they received any improper access or policy concessions in return for their donations and I understand the investigation grew out of a recording that was seized in the raid of Michael Cohen s home earlier this year prison terms of former personal attorney that s right so when they raided his home office and hotel room in April f.b.i. Agents obtained a recording of a conversation between Cohen and Stephanie Winston while Coffee who was a former advisor to millennia Trump who worked on the inauguration and in that recording expressed some concern about how the Inaugural Committee is spending its money at least the way it s been described to us so what have you learned in your reporting about who prosecutors are looking at specifically. So that s an area where we re still looking into what we know that prosecutors have spoken to 2 people one of them is Frank Haney who is a donor who gave $1000000.00 to the inauguration and later hired Michael Cohen to help him obtain a loan from President Trump s Energy Department we know that he has been asked for documents related to his generation and for any correspondence he had with the committee. Meetings calendars things like that we also know that Rick Gates who was the deputy chairman of the committee has been asked questions about the inaugural fund and Rick Gates pleaded guilty earlier this year and agreed to cooperate with investigators so we know that he s met with Mahler s office and with the Southern District of New York What s been the response from members of the Inaugural Committee who have you reached out to. So there are a number of really prominent donors who gave to that committee or were on its finance committee and we by no means understand that that investigators have reached out to all of them Sheldon Adelson is one for example that we know has not been reached out to he was there really believe he gave $5000000.00 and has been a longtime backer of the president s And then Tom Barack who headed the committee we also have no sign that he s a target of this investigation he has not been contacted since and bit by investigators since he spoke to Muller s office last year and at that point he was asked a handful of questions about the inaugural but it was not the focus of his interview and anything from the White House. The White House hasn t responded to our questions about this matter there s no indication that there are aware of the investigation or at least they were aware of it before he reported it and not something that they would necessarily need to take to the president s lawyers because we don t have any sense that they re investigating Trump s spending of the inaugural money but it s fair to say that if the investigation continues at that it seems like an area that they would look into That s Rebecca Paul House reporter with The Wall Street Journal thanks for sharing your reporting thanks for having me . It s been quite a week for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi she sparred on national television with President Trump and got him to say he d take the blame if the government shutdown and she struck a deal with insurgent Democrats that all but ensure she will be elected speaker of the House in January remember Nancy Pelosi was the target of Republican attacks in the midterm election and was considered so divisive that a sizable chunk of Democrats campaigned on a pledge to elect different leaders So now let s bring in n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snell to explain how Palosi managed to come out on top by Kelsey there what did you do to get the Democratic holdouts to support her as the next speaker Well she basically agreed to term limits for all House Democrats in leadership not just herself and the deal would allow leaders to serve for 3 tier terms or 6 years which means that she personally would only have one term left since she was already speaker from 2007 to 2011 and I m told it was more or less coincidental that the deal came together this week it happened just a day after that big memorable Oval Office meeting but Palosi seems to be really taking charge this week even if it isn t you know that the 2 things came together simultaneously Democrats will have to vote to affirm this agreement but Palosi says she d stick to the deal even if it isn t officially adopted into house rules here s how she explained it to us reporters earlier today I feel very comfortable about what they are proposing and I feel very. Responsible to to do that whether it passes or not so Kelsey doesn t sound like this is a huge sacrifice for polo see how much of a concession was this it s really easy to argue that it isn t much of a concession at all remember she s 78 years old and she s been talking about herself as a transitional figure since before the election now this is an opportunity for her to make good on that promise if anything it s really a good example of the kind of deal maker she is not just that she s a good one but what she does to get there basically everyone got to walk away from that saying they won something 1st she knocked out the only person who was a potential competitor that was Marcia Fudge of Ohio who just you can remember a few weeks ago was floated as a potential speaker possibility while she created a new job for her and now fudge will be leading a committee on Election Integrity basically Plus he s playing all of her leadership cards and she kind of slowly picks off her opponents and has offered them everything in the box of cards she has committee positions leadership jobs she s got a lot of tools to play and she s playing on we hear a lot about what a skilled negotiator Pelosi is but does this mean the criticism against her is over well no it s criticisms criticism of her will go on she s been in power for a long time and that s not going away the criticism that she is out of touch with her party at a time when they re divided that s also still really true it also doesn t mean that she ll get unanimous support from Democrats in January actually just a few weeks when they have the speaker s vote on January 3rd a majority of the people who vote against her may well be those new members who pledged to vote against her in the campaign but she really is certainly more powerful than she was just before the election we have to remember the Democrats gain 40 seats and that s really huge no matter how you look at it she ll definitely have to referee disputes between moderates and liberals who can both rightfully claim that they made huge gains in this election and her critics aren t going to get any quieter they ll just have more demands and they ll want her to not negotiate with Trump and negotiate with them n.p.r. Congressional reporter Kelsey Snell thank you thank you. As we just heard the Democratic opposition to the speakership wasn t enormous but it was loud and committed so it sounds like he will not be able to rely on your vote. And I will be voting for now that was Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan on the show last month today he announced he would vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house after she agreed to limit her tenure I asked him why that changed his mind I think there was a recognition from Leader Pelosi that she was going to be a transitional candidate and that we do have an enormous amount of talent in our Democratic caucus the people know that they voted for change and we re going to give them the change that they want and this agreement while it s not everything that I wanted it is certainly one that brings the party together but also puts real reforms in place for the future of our caucus with 6 year terms on the top leadership what does this mean for that new crop of Democrats though who campaigned telling voters that they would not vote for her well there was a number of the candidates that won in the lot of the purple districts across the country that came down saying they were going to vote for a new leader they were going to vote for change this also frees them up to meet that obligation that they made to their constituents which was a very important for me to make sure that they could do that but also address is the change that is needed and puts that reform in place and you know when you re making a deal everybody gets something of what they want in the everybody you know leave some on the table that they couldn t get you had Challenge closely 2 years ago for the speakership you were not successful and over time there has been this perception that dissenters basically don t have anyone powerful enough to challenge police see that there isn t someone who has the votes why can t anyone else get momentum Well part of why we wanted to get this reform in places because you can accumulate a good deal of power. Over the years and so it becomes very very tough to overcome that you know we want to strong leader but at the same time you know we don t want someone that can always prevent other people from coming up because that influx of ideas and people from different backgrounds moving in our leadership is a really important part of what it means to be a Democrat and we want to keep that in place the best we can moving forward did this debate take way time from the work of crafting a Democratic agenda for the new conference I don t think so I mean you know people always throw up their hands and say well we can t have a fight right now I mean there s there s never a good time to have an argument you know we can walk and chew gum at the same time we have very capable members of the Democratic caucus who have been crafting the gender for the Democrats and I think that work continued while this debate was taking place going forward into this new Congress are you confident that she ll be able to keep the caucus together on important votes and big moments Well if we re going to be challenged I think it s going to be hard I mean we ve got you know obviously we saw it the other day at the White House how difficult it is to try to nail down and in the go she ate with Donald Trump we also have the Senate there and I think internally we have a very broad coalition we have a number of members who got elected in represent purple districts or you know Republican plus 5 or 6 point districts and we have a new crop of a few progress of in everybody in between all the way over to what we call the blue dogs and people who represent more conservative Democratic views are all in our caucus and we only have a few seats to give away if there s a big vote that we need to have so it s it s going to challenge all of us to figure out how to come together on issues that we can all agree on and try to move the country forward it s going to be a lot of work for us moving forward that s Congressman.

The difference between a p.g. 13 rating and an r rating can mean millions of dollars for a filmmaker as I m sure you re well aware how much lobbying goes into the rating of a film I saw a trend almost 2 decades ago of the directors having to sign contracts to deliver a film rated a certain rating or less and because of that we created a position of a filmmaker liaison so that if filmmakers had any questions in the production stage even the scripts stage or post stage they could talk to us if they had to craft their material so that they didn t exceed what they had signed the contract for can you give us an example of a film that wanted to be p.g. Or p.g. 13 vet adjusted the way the filmmaker was planning to do things in order to get that right a filmmaker came to me once and he said he had been thinking of doing a movie about a known person who was a womanizer and a drug user and he the contract could only be for 13 and he didn t want to sign it if he couldn t print trade this man s life in a way that was realistic but also not vaulting the film into our territory and the way we talked and what you could depict and what you couldn t he ended up signing the contract and made a very very effective movie and it was the movie s happy it was Ray and it got Academy Award I shouldn t about reading your names yes people misuse especially I m going to ban Ok but you re going to have to make it work right you do what you do baby. If you remember the movie you definitely got all the aspects of his life but not in a way that a parent would say Oh my goodness you should never have seen that. We hear all the time from listeners who disagree with the editorial choices we ve made about what content to put on the air do you hear from parents all the time who say how could you have rated this film this way I do I when anybody calls in our emails I always ask how old their children are what part of the country they re from and if in fact they ve seen the movie because sometimes complaints are an orchestrated campaign with an agenda can you give us an example well for instance the cell the Southerners care much more about blasphemy than the rest the parts of the country taking the Lord s name and this sort of thing yes we found that Midwesterners care more about nudity and sexuality and the coasts are more concerned about the violence because they have bigger cities and there s more violence in big cities so it s a very interesting situation when we re rating for the whole country and the parents on the board have to think in terms of the whole country because they re reflecting standards not setting them that s so interesting do you think these ratings take on less importance in an era when there is so much streaming content on so many different platforms seeing a movie is a choice when you sign up for it at home or to pay per view or you go to the theater you make a choice and they want to be sure of what they re choosing so we have very very high interest in the ratings because of that I think because they want to know what they re paying their money and devoting their time to going out to see. Joan Graves is the outgoing chair of the classification and rating administration for the Motion Picture Association of America shall retire next year thanks so much for coming to the studio thank you I loved the movie Roma is seen by critics as an Oscar worthy masterpiece for director Alfonso cuarón but as N.P.R. s Jasmine gars reports behind the scenes the film is part of a battle between streaming services such as Netflix and movie theaters they re fighting over who gets to show the movies 1st to promote your on the big screen or on a digital streaming service that is the question it s not a new one just last year at the Toronto Film Festival the makers of I taunt you were looking for distribution and they reportedly turned down Netflix why because they wanted I taught in movie theaters and they probably wanted to qualify for an Oscar which actress Allison Janney won I didn t stay home making out the brown Bettys No I made you a champion No when you hate me for it that s the sacrifice the mother makes Scott Feinberg an awards columnist for The Hollywood Reporter explains the Oscars are about rewarding the best movies not t.v. Shows so that means you have to have had at least what they call qualifying run in theaters in New York and l.a. That little golden statuette carries a lot of weight you get more audience interest more money more work opportunities and your film gets written into the history books and all this presents a come under him for Netflix as it tries to stand out among a growing number of streaming services Michael Pachter is a media analyst at Wedbush Securities Netflix is goal is to be a major production company that makes compelling content that is available exclusively on Netflix to give consumers a reason to sign up and stay as subscribers in order to do this Netflix needs to attract a list talent and they want Oscars Netflix has yet to get a Best Picture Oscar to do so. It has to premiere its films in theaters in other words Netflix needs the movie theater to kill the movie theater the new movie Roma might be a chance to change all this. On the one hand it s directed by Oscar Award winner. But it s also in black and white in Spanish with subtitles and with unknown actors unlikely to be a blockbuster so quite on needed Netflix Jopek Carollo a former executive at Fox Searchlight Pictures says Netflix can give this movie a wide streaming audience suddenly his film can be seen right away you know 190 countries around the world potential audience of 130000000 people in a rare move Netflix is showing the film 1st in cinemas nationwide and just for a few weeks is now being taken seriously at least right at this stage is still early but right now Rome is being talked about as a serious contender will this bring Netflix a best picture Oscar Scott Feinberg from the Hollywood Reporter says times are changing the reality is we re sort of swimming upstream at this point because people are increasingly consuming movies in other ways thanks not only to Netflix but primarily to nuff flicks you know people love the convenience of being able to click a few buttons and watch from their touch but for the moment the way to win that best picture is still to show it on the big screen.

News I m Jake s again or oh in Strasbourg mom. Game. This year has brought several reminders of the dangers that journalists face around the world for speaking out there was the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi the imprisonment of Reuters reporters in Myanmar now the Committee to Protect Journalists has a new report saying more than $250.00 journalists around the world are in jail as a result of their work Robert Mahoney is PJ s deputy executive director and he joins us now hi there i. This is the 3rd year in a row that you ve said more than $250.00 journalists are imprisoned around the world what does that tell you it tells us that there s a creeping or Thora Tarion ism globally dictators and so-called strong mentally there is a cracking down on independent journalism and criticism from the Philippines all the way through Turkey and even here or in the Americas also just want to clarify that this report isn t looking at the threat journalists face in war threats of injury or death this is soley cracking down on people for what they ve published absolutely this is a form of state censorship through imprisonment this is the deliberate targeting of journalists and bloggers by governments who do not want their voice to be heard now you mentioned Turkey and in the last few months Turkey has taken a leading role in illuminating Saudi Arabia s responsibility for the death of one journalist Jamal Khashoggi but your report shows that Turkey is actually the worst offender when it comes to jailing journalists yet Turkey has been at the top of all this for several years now and there are some 68 journalists in jail this year things got really bad after the failed coup back in 2016 so it s extremely ironic that the president of Turkey president Edwin should be the one that is giving us the details about the murder of a journalist when he himself continues to throw journalists behind bars and of course Turkey has been accusing Saudi Arabia of this Saudi Arabia itself according to your report has more than doubled the number of journalists in jail compared to a year ago the number this year is 16 up from 7 what s happening there well what s happening is that despite the rhetoric and the millions of dollars that crown prince Solomon is spending on lobbyists and p.r. Consultants here and in the United States and Europe behind that image of a reformer and a young modernist is a good old fashioned authoritarian who cannot stand criticism there are 16 journalists in jail in Saudi Arabia by our count 4 female journalists who were thrown in jail for report. In all women s rights and then we had that appalling murder of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul I mean one of the things that strikes me is that before the Arab Spring we had 13 journalists in jail in all the Arabic speaking countries of the Middle East now it s $63.00 and Egypt and Saudi Arabia account for a lot of that total another country that figures prominently on the list is China and one journalist we know of who disappeared recently is the photojournalist Luke Wang a u.s. Resident who disappeared while on a trip to John province which is where the weaker Muslim minority lives China has been clamping down on that group today Lou Gong s wife said police confirmed to the family that the photojournalist was in fact arrested how does this fit in with what we ve seen generally with journalists in China well China has always been very intolerant of independent journalism but this year there was a mocked up tick in the numbers arrested and most of those were in the west of China that least 10 of the journalist detained in China this year were in this in Jang region here in the u.s. President Trump regularly verbal attacks journalists calling them the enemy of the people are there any American journalists in the u.s. Who are actually in jail no not not in the u.s. As far as we know I mean journalists have been arrested and face increasing harassment whilst they re working but from the state itself no there are no journalists in jail that s said however the atmosphere in which independent journalists are working is pretty toxic at the moment with the president the United States using his pulpit in the White House to label him as enemies of the people and generally denigrate the work that they do in up holding democracy by holding power to account Robert Mahoney is deputy executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists thank you for joining us today thank you. You re listening to All Things Considered from n.p.r. News. Filmmaker Barry Jenkins is best known for his Oscar winning film moonlight his new movie if Beale Street could talk is based on a James Baldwin novel and it s a love story set in 1900 Harlem critic Bob Mondello has this review Tish and funny are walking hand in hand through a park at the film s outset childhood soulmates they have just realised they re in love she s 19 she s 22 and on a plaza near the Hudson River they pause and look into each other s on the days. Later. They kiss gently and the moment dissolves that was then that was innocence Tisch narrates a startling change as the park fades away. Then Nobody s ever had to look at anybody they know. It s months later and funny is now in jail set up by a racist cop for a crime he could not have committed to she is waiting for him in the visiting room and when he sees her his face lights up she s there to tell him that they re going to have a baby news that shocks image 1st and that then has both of them laughing with joy when he stops laughing and his eyes cloud tissue presses her hand against the glass during the tour. Today anyway I mean I knew him for. Sure. I m only sure path the moment dissolves again to the time before with fish remembering how funny built a life for himself starting in vocational school then discovering he could work with wood not to make furniture but to make art the day I realized funny was another destroying. It was the day Dave mom of us called Director Barry Jenkins will spend the rest of Beale Street toggling between the love stories beginnings and the families in overdrive trying to. At funny out of jail it s a rich mix of incidents taken from James Baldwin s 5th novel and brought to the screen in ways that are sometimes swoon worthy other times humorous says when Tish s family tussles with funnies judge mental mom a flashback to a scene with a friend just out of jail is so wrenching something so some. Day I bet that it s hard to imagine the film recovering and then there s dinner and Nina Simone. Hands held Grace said. And the struggle waits for another day and the thing. Chickens wrote screenplays for both this film and for his Oscar winner moonlight in 2013 although he didn t have the rights to be a street back them his gamble that he d get them has now paid off in a film shot through with humor with righteous anger and almost always with just plain beauty cigarette smoke and sawdust swirling around a sculpture of funnies creating to the wailing of a saxophone. War that the characters must struggle against injustice is Beale Street theme but both the novel and the movie find hope in the love the Titian funny Cher love that actors Kiki lane and Stefan James portray with such heart in your throat rapture that it s contagious by the end of it s Beale Street could talk it was me who could barely talk about Michael.

You. For. N.p.r. News this is All Things Considered I m Audie Cornish and I m Ari Shapiro we re going to take a moment now to remember a pioneer of computer engineering Evelyn Bures and died over the weekend at age 93 she was the daughter of a seamstress and furrier who popularized word processing and defied the gender expectations of her industry Spicer is senior curator at the Computer History Museum she designed computers in the 1950 s. At the very dawn of the computer age that it was a job that perhaps 20 people and at the time among her designs the 1st computerized airline reservation system automated banking transactions and a system that computed artillery distances for the Pentagon a turning point came in 1960 the New York Stock Exchange asked her to design a new stock ticker and then abruptly pulled the offer I said why I was probably one of the 2 people in the world who could design a machine for that sparrows in a 2014 oral history recording for the Computer History Museum and he said you have to be on the stock market for from time to time and the language on the floor was not for a woman serious it was devastating so she founded her own company redact drawn and developed her word processor it was a machine attached to a typewriter that could remember every keystroke allowing the user to correct mistakes and print clean copy it was revolutionary for secretaries who spent their days typing. Wrote a history of word processing and says bears and saw her work as part of a large social agenda it was explicitly framed in terms of the technology is a term chal to liberate women and allow them to move and say to other sectors of the workforce but that liberation was limited easier typing didn t mean that male bosses were about to do it for themselves it was an ego thing and one of the hardest things to break was that ego situation between a guy and a secretary as bearers and found out office culture would be harder to change than office technology. All right here s the scenario you re hosting a holiday party and you ve got the guest list the food the drinks what about the music you stumped you know what your party to sound like you know a shopping mall. Even though your guests might love it you kind of can t deal with the endless loop of holiday tunes but it was really really you know what you re not alone I used to program the music for all the Calvin Klein stores worldwide and for that 5 years and every year this was the most painful play with us to look up to if you want to call the d.j. Stretch Armstrong close the n.p.r. Podcast what s good with stretch along with fellow d.j. Puppy Doe Garcia I turn to both of them for help with this party playlist problem I don t know if it be the 1st song because you ve got to warm up the crowd but boy one of those one of those peak records for me it s a record by a group called Antibalas and it s a song called chick ole. Days the feeling of yeah you don t need to warm up to this. I want to walk in from a cold cold my code you gotta play that for a full room yeah be like yeah that s true but I understand that point. Ok so I feel like you can hopscotch the continent here for all the different influences Yeah that this song has a as a very thick passport the origins of the song are a children s folk song from Ghana called church of players. Had them through immigration over the last 50 years a song a sort of spread out all over the world. In the seventy s with a cologne turned to. Into a Latin salsa record called. And this song we re hearing right now by on to us is actually a cover of the bat and the style of this remakes is that of Hayes John or a funk out of Cameroon in the seventy s called MacOS So this record is all over the place and I think that s one of the things about it that I find sort of trying to. Say your party is on a low burn now and. It says this song will get it to a rolling. Music because I can t sit in my seat and talk calmly. This is an absolute height of the night. Record for me as a d.j. The reason why I say that is 1st of all as a samba be. As powerful horns and song as titled summer is the big band version which creates this juxtaposition of like a soulful ballad almost in the midst of this high energy dance floor banger. Brothers a jazz band there surprisingly not from Brazil they re a duo on the trombone and Andrew on the trumpet from Bristol and the u.k. . They absolutely did. Anything to spend whether as Jonah or September or December I m aiming to uplift my dance floor make them dance. To. Music and rhythm that they don t know how to dance to then I feel like I ve really achieved my job as a d.j. . This song is amazing but there are those who want some real holiday music at your party unless they re Stretch Armstrong of course I mean I really pressed him on this and he actually had to turn to his phone to come up with a suggestion Oh my God Do you know that Justin Bieber has a drummer boy Ok this this might not be so bad and I know you re you are really going for bad I know what you were trying to hear so bad it s good let s say yeah well I do love some supreme singing Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

We reached. Be sure that the bad but bad rows were in games and the demonstration. On the stand. Also will be able to. The brutal methods that it was without a title even with bombs because they understand bad ram of the freshest principles . Yes I willingness to be the recipient of things. Inflicting violence. As concerns Malcolm And Martin I watched 2 men coming from unimaginably different backgrounds positions the reasonably were poles apart just closer and closer together. By the time each died the possessions had become virtually the same position. It took me sitting deed that Martin picked up Malcolm s burden completed the vision which Malcolm had become to see which he paid with his life and now come was one of the people Martin saw on the mountain top. I was too young to have seen this happen . For but not a been surprised. But it was murdered 1st. Malcolm And Mark I was raised to believe that the eldest was supposed to be a model for the younger and was of course expected to die 1st. One of these 3 lived to be 40. We need an organisation that May 1 day. We need one that ready and willing to take . Any kind of. American talks or in the present Moses talk to kill 8. People he wouldn t listen to. Not to kill it is something that is something which has been in this country so well tonight as Malcolm s growth already and it was oh it s he corroborates the reality it tells it has already exist you know. To Him am. The. God. Was odd. Behavior. Now days is one of them. Will run. What you wrote is in this country what your future is in it. How precise you re going to reconcile. Yourself to a situation here and I m going to. Communicate. To the vast Kandice I m thinking. Like majority. That you will hear. I am terrified at the moral apathy that death. Which is happening in my country as people. Examine themselves with alone let me tell think I m human and most is on their conduct not on what they say. It was moving to a had become. A. Monster has. Mostly white Americans I ve ever encountered really you know had a girlfriend or Negro maid or somebody in high school but they never you know. Back to School was over what everyone came to my kitchen you know we were segregated from the police who House don t know them all he doesn t know he really does not know but it was like me to leave my house you know the school like home doesn t know how Negroes live and it comes as a great surprise to the Kennedy brothers and everybody else in the country I m certain again you know that like again like most white Americans don t count and they have no. No I m sure that whatever against it was that is not that s really not question the question is really about apathy and ignorance which is a price we pay to segregation it was a reaction to it you don t know what s happening in those high level because you don t want to know and ransom some way in those years without entirely realizing it the great black cloud of the Great White Father. Was not racist so I thought. It was a racist. Or so they thought in fact. Simply trapped in the same situation. When you put them to sleep on the living room couch you tell it to him in the morning when his mother goes out you take somebody else s kids to little well he wants a credential so great that you sneak out here and go work in somebody s kitchen all I want to make a future but this time like all I wanted to be able to stand in front of my boy like my father never was able to do to me. I must sketch now the famous Bobby Kennedy meet. The rain Hansberry I would not be very much younger than I am now if she were. At the time of the Bobby Kennedy meeting she was $33.00. That was one of the very last turns us saw her on her feet and she died at the age of $34.00. Mr so much. People forget how young everybody was. My Kennedy for another quite different example was 38. Who wanted him to tell his brother the president to personally a score to school on that day the day after the small black girl already scheduled to enter deep south school that we see. Clear. On that child spitting on the nation. He didn t understand is either. Of us moral gesture. Would like sit in the rain from you a moral commitment. He told him so soon to feel that he d been wasting his time. Frame set still marching all the while. Look Bobby Kennedy. Caps for the 1st time looked at her. Reach for say. The State of the simplification which produced photographs of the white cop standing on that negro woman s neck in Birmingham. Then she smiled. Clay that she was not smiling at me. Mr Attorney general she said. Turned and walked out of. White Americans wanted me. To. It was never been happy in this place. Rather than a terrible thing rules and then I but I do not I am an American my school really were the streets of New York City my payment record Winnsboro. George Washington and John Wayne but I you know I read a child no one would try to buy the world that you are going to read the something other than you. And you are blown by what you see you have been making way to discover but it moved me back to New York and then throughout the entire country. I know how you watch as you grow older and it s not about to get up each according to your bio and it was the higher up around you not the anything they had done. They were too young and done any. Good but one doesn t realize is that when you try to stand out. Of the world and I thought you had a right to be here. You have attacked the entire power structure of the Red Sea World. They get the Negro Problem. Don t let anybody back. We had that quality to commend it isn t it they were right and I do think well why don t look at it when it s happening in this country and what is really happening or brother and murder rather knowing I would rather. White men have been a negro No I want to be there done. White women have had legal burden only to be bad luck. If you got no racial problem. At the bottom of the not too willing to look at your life or be with the boy and then begin to change it. Great but now I come from a gunshot and I want it to matter out. In the end to most of our child at out and it because the American people are unable. To paint a pattern that I had played out there but. Oh look they have no. Agreed. My father but a big boy.

James Baldwin wrote about race and identity in America in an unapologetic fashion in a cross current article in 1961 but when said quote To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage all the time in quote and that point snapshot of black life in America still rings true some people 6 years later but one s ability to articulate the realities of black life in asked for was prophetic in nature rebuilding the dark and ugly truths about racism in America here Samuel l. Jackson s narration of Baldwin s words. A black man in America. By Alex Koppelman by. Parading in this country concerning the sexuality of black people. In the popular culture. Sexually. So. As a book artist and a man there s also. The. Sexuality of this country. Both he and Harry Belafonte for example are sex symbols no one is that that still list to use them as in you Hollywood he made. Have been robbed of everything in this country. They don t want to be robbed of their artist. Black people particularly disliked Guess Who s Coming to Dinner because they felt the city was in effect you want to be in here against a. Distance coming to town or maybe proving song to song our way to be a milestone. Because it is really quite impossible to go to any further than that particular direction. To Moeller who wears. The next. Star How. Much did it. Thank you. It s a man did not kiss each other an American sells nor for the most part they re. Going to let Detective run the white shirt kids here. To take care. Here. Tony Phaedo kids and classic American Sam did not speak of low and still less of sex. Reconciliation. When the only brought attention to the challenges of being black in America he also highlighted the realities of being a gay man in James Baldwin the last interview and other conversations go the way your blood beats He spoke candidly with interviewer Richard Goldstein about his experience as a black gay man in response to a question that examines America s struggle with homophobia Barwon said quote I think Americans are terrified of feeling anything and homophobia is simply an extreme example of the American terror that s concerned with growing up I never met a more people in my life. The sexual question and the racial question have always been and twined you know if Americans can mature on the level of racism then they have to mature on the level of sexuality and later when asked if black gay people have the same sense of being as a white gay people but one responded by saying quote. That I think is because you are paralyzed as it were unjustly your placed outside a certain safety to which you think you were born a black gay person who is a sexual conundrum to society. Long before the question of sexuality comes into it menaced unmarked because he s black Well she s black the sexual question comes after the question of color it s simply one more aspect of the danger in which black people live. I think white gay people feel cheated because they were born in principle into a society in which they were supposed to be safe the anomaly of their sexuality puts them in danger unexpectedly very action seems to me in direct proportion to the sense of feeling cheated of the advantages which accrue to white people in a white society there s an element it seemed to me of being older men and complaint now that may sound harsh but the gay world as such is no more prepared to accept black people than anywhere else in society. Analysis of America s racial dilemma was filled with the cute directness and fierce honesty in I am not your negro when in 1965 expose the hypocrisy and arrogance of the ex Attorney General Robert Kennedy suggestion that black progress was possible based on a timeline acceptable to white Americans. I remember for example when the Exeter a general Mr Robert Kennedy. Said that it was conceivable. That in 40 years in America we might have been the president. That sounded like a very. Emancipated statement I suppose to white people. They were not on holiday. When this statement was 1st heard. And did not hear possibly will never hear the laughter and the bitterness in the sky on which is taken was greeted and the point of view of the man of the Harlem barbershop Bobby Kennedy only got me yesterday. And now he s already on his way to the presidents we ve been able 400 years and now he tells us that maybe in 40 years if you re good. We made that you become president. Of the green. Zone mama. Brother dream. Dream dream. And elegance always compelling and now it s a race in America affirmed by existence and experiences where he was a champion of truth and justice and advocate for black America and at a time when Rachel tension is brewing high in the United States his perspective is even more relevant I ll tell you this when out of this country 948 I love this country one reason only one reason I didn t get where I when I got to Hong Kong I made it on the Timbuktu and up in Paris on the streets of Paris it was like talking about a theory that nothing worse could happen to me that it already happened to me you talk about making it as a right a bios out you have to be able then to turn up all the untenable that you live because once you turn your back on this side you may not. Make. A great. Confidant that if you re afraid of the world around you yes I m not interested one thing. They release me come back particular social terror which is not the paranoia that my own mind but I real social danger visible in the face of every cop every boss everybody. I don t know what my people in this country feel I can only mood but they view from the state of their institutions I don t know why Christians hate negroes are not but I know that we have a Christian church is white and a Christian church is it which is and I was not makes once but it is the most segregated hour in American life that I knew on Sunday that s a great deal to me about a Christian nation it means I can t afford to trust most white Christians trust Chris. Church I don t know what. Paul says really hate me that doesn t matter but I m not in that union I want to be with it Bobby is an organic book and I know the real estate lobbies keep me in that you know I don t know a lot of education hates black people I know the textbooks they get my children to read and the schools will be have to go through now this is the I have it well they make the faith risking my so I buy I will in my system my children I m some I do you live which you will surely exist in America but I have never. Allowed. Them to pretend to be with us. This means that history no more. Has no current. I am States one of the characters and dustiest is the kitty. I don t move them it s that bring to humanity. For the way they bring to humanity make believe excluding the consumer part of humanity from enjoying what is good. Spirit this prosperity calls me to people to my house. Not from the people or the most spectacular recipients of the benefits of the spa spirit. Able to endure dispense it they can even understand it without them. Imagine the price paid by the victims or subjects of this way of life and something for no one to prove who felt. Wrong. When in time the. This event or the notion that one night was population is beneath them. And until that moment until the moment. When we America we the American people. Are able to accept the fact that I separates out of the masses the both white and black. That are on that column and we have tried for the new identity which we need each other. And that I m not a wall of America I m not an object of missionary charity I am one of the people who built the country. Until this moment s. Guess any hope for the American dream.

Sandown bar tease history and the role of the military and us set like colonialism part 2 of 3 last you heard from historian Roxanne Dunbar a tease she told the story off the doctrine off Discovery imagine a doctrine issued by the Vatican from the mid 15th century on that allowed European monarchies to seize and our own lands inhabited by indigenous peoples and begin the slave trade in Africa. Imagine father that in 1823 the doctrine of discovery of was quietly adopted into u.s. Law by the Supreme Court. It remains and shined in federal law today limiting Native American vides treaties and sovereignty in her talk at the Lennon foundation in Santa Fe on October 11th 2017 Roxanne Dunbar tease asked why the history of Native Americans is so rarely addressed here as Roxanne Dunbar r.t.s. 3 years ago I published a history of the United States titled An Indigenous People s History of the United States which has found a wide audience and has been adopted many public and private middle of the high schools as well as colleges and universities in countless community and church reading groups. The most frequent question readers ask after reading this book is Why hasn t it been written before why hasn t this book with Merton be whore. I m really flattered by that question because it s the one I asked about texts that deeply moved me at the same time that the information or argument or story is new to me and seems like a revelation it also seems it was already hidden in the recesses of my brain or heart a truth actually also embedded in our subconscious. But why hasn t this book been written before we believe we don t suffer academic censorship in the United States but we do. Rather than being mandated by the government our will trumps a Mr Big getting into that action firing getting professors fired right at No just left. Rather than be mandated by the government professional historians so censor and response to institutionalized policing of the parameters of what s acceptable and what will be marginalized a broad consensus reached by the us history professions elite along with school textbooks standards made by states namely in the last 2030 years Texas. Plus the graduate history students desire to complete the doctorate is only as possible and start a successful career and then to get tenure. The civil rights movement of the 1950 s. And 1960 s. And along with the powerful native Chicano Puerto Rican antiwar cultural countercultural women s liberation engaged lesbian and transmute Ment s broke down the existing consensus. And created a window of opportunity that institutionalized revisions through the bottom up creation of black native Chicano and gender studies but that evolved into a a kind of multiculturalism supporting the narrative of diversity and contributions to the greatness of the United States. And achieving a new consensus the new narrative had had to ignore native issues of sovereignty and territorial rights and treaties rather twisting the inclusion of indigeneity as a racial discrimination question rather than a question of sovereign nations living under settler colonialism. One of my favorite writers. Writers William Burroughs narrator in his 1904 novel which I highly recommend the place of dead Bros observes that quote People are not bribed to shut up about what they know they re bribed not to find out this is particularly true in the writing of u.s. History my profession it s not a free speech issue but one of asking questions that challenge the core of the scripted narrative historians are validated to the extent that they remain Guardians of the United States origin narrative with various tweaks to adjust to demands of the excluded. To prevent revolutions. Even those flawed advances are currently in retreat. And us gun violence and most wars are and gimmick. Various polls show that even the educated general public doesn t know basic facts about the structure of the us government the Constitution the rights of states and the division of powers. Yet there is the widespread acceptance of the greatness and goodness of the United States along with the extreme mistrust of government except for the military. A recent tiny Associated Press story provided polling information of us American public regarding their confidence in federal government institutions. Reporting only 6 percent have confidence in Congress. Probably 0 in the. 14 percent of people said they have confidence in the executive branch which includes the president and all of the cabinet agencies 24 percent say they have confidence in the Supreme Court however 84 percent have confidence in the military. The military is the only unifying government institution the only one trusted. So we have to understand where that military has come from and what it is why is there so little information analysis or curiosity and the origins and development of the us military and history and political science text doesn t exist and teaching at any grade level graduate school the military history field small as that is as usually made up of war mongers and former military people. And people who certainly never write about what actually happened to form that military. The military isn t even presented as a branch of government as we know there are only 3 branches of government rather is placed under the formally civilian elected president and commander in chief of the armed forces this is meant to scare you because Trump isn t just President. He s the commander in chief of the armed forces. And as he said I heard him on t.v. Tonight say. That he can do anything he wants. Because he s that however from the earliest settlements in the 1600s to the edge Hisham of the 13 British colonies into an independent nation state and up to the present the military has been the engine that drives us nationalism that is patriotism. Yet generations have a little knowledge of interaction with the military but the annals of military history reveal the architecture of its formation and function and dominance. Air Force officer and military historian John Green near gives me hope that this hopefully is beginning to change right for the 1st 200 years of our military heritage Americans depended on arts of war that contemporary professional soldiers at that time supposedly at horde. Raising and destroying enemy villages and seals read Native American killing enemy women and children raiding settlements for captives intimidating and brutalizing enemy noncombatants and assassinating enemy leaders. In the front your wars between 160071814 American forwards 2 elements are limited war and irregular war into their 1st wave of war. So from this period grinning argues emerged problematic Turk to riff 6 of the Us way of war and thereby the characteristics of us civilization which few civilian historians or even anti-war activists knowledge. Here s an example of the matrix that is deconstructed when a thread from the review of comes to us history is pulled and why the public discussion of Confederate fetishism provides a teachable moment. In July 2015 to California state legislators Black Caucus I live in California. Called on state authorities to change the name of the town of Fort Bragg California the site of a former military base 170 miles north of San Francisco now just a town by that they because it was named after Confederate general Broxton Bragg. Who knew there was a Confederate general no name on the on the on Army base or a former Army base the Taliban and telephoning. In the course of his long military career Bragg an 837 West Point graduate was commander of the country army in the civil war and on the plantation and over 100 slaves to Africa. But that s only half the story of General Bragg s career as it is of most of the Confederate as well as union military commanders. The Black Caucus rightly raise this issue in the wake of the June 17th 2015 Charleston South Carolina assassination of senior pastor and state senator comment to see Pickney along with 8 worshippers at the oldest historical black church in North America a mother a man who which had been founded by Denmark Vesey a formerly in slave Africa. A carpenter by trade who purchased his freedom and later organized a failed slave revolt for which he and a dozen other insurgents were hung. This event happened on the that day of. The hanging of the mark Bessie. Shocked attention to the church massacre quickly turned to the continued presence of the kind of federal flag on the South Carolina state house in Charleston the assassin being a self identified white supremacist his Internet photo showed him toting a country red flag. A National would get bait ensued not only about the proliferation of Confederate flags throughout the south and white supremacist enclaves and gun shows all over the country but also public monuments and place names particularly army bases named after Confederate officers. There are in fact 9 other u.s. Military bases in addition to Fort Bragg that are named after Confederate officers most of them in the south but Fort Bragg reveals a more complex history. Few in California knew that their state hosted a base Now town named after a Confederate general. But the argument began immediately. Those who objected to changing the name especially the people living in Fort Bragg. Many there. Pointed out that General Bragg was a decorated u.s. Army officer in 8573 years before the founding of the Confederacy when Fort Bragg was built and named. That s certainly different from those bases in the south named after confederates all of which occurred in the post Civil War Jim Crow segregation in the early and up to the mid 20th century. In Bragg s case the naming honor recalls his actions as a captain serving under Major General Zachary Taylor and the United States Army and Marine invasion and occupation of Mexico City an $847.00 forcing the Mexican republic to see the northern half of its territory. And the purpose of us stablish ing Fort Bragg a decade later an $857.00 to carry out the confinement of indigenous Californians rounded up and forced into the newly established Mendocino Indian Reservation where a military base was established. And named after Bragg. Before the Civil War. The Black Caucus statement asserted that it was inappropriate to honor an individual who committed treason against the United States in defense of slavery nearly everyone who has argued for the change of names of military bases has invoked treason yet all of the West Point graduate officers who led the Confederacy after whom the basis are named has been honorably recognized for their feats in the invasion and brutal counterinsurgency over to Europe period Mexico occupying and terrorizing the civilian population in Mexico City until the government officials with guns at their heads signed a treaty a session. Including Robert e. Lee and several others who served and led the u.s. U.s. War against the seminal nation in Florida there were 3 u.s. Wars against the seminal nation over the period of 816-2858 all of them counterinsurgent. Irregular wars. And led by West Point graduates who then in the later years became either Union or Confederate soldiers but it seems it would have been appropriate had these officers not shown us on the Confederate side and stayed in the Us Army to slaughter Native Americans during and after the Civil War might nearly every military officer of the Union Army. Sharman frémont Grant Custer to name the most famous of the Union officers who later formed the leadership of the so-called army of the West. In fact the majority of us army bases on the con that were initially outpost for wars against ended in this nation s Fort Snelling had a Kearny Leavenworth Phil and rightly the latter the base of George Armstrong Custer 7 Cavalry now the 1st Infantry Division all named after u.s. Army officers who commanded genocide of wars. For most of the period from the Us war of independence to 89 is the sole function of the us military was to kill roundup refugees read Ok and confine Native Americans and appropriate their land and resources to replace it with Anglo American settlers and sometimes from other countries like Scandinavians particularly slave owning planters involved in model cash production got much to that land the army officers of both the Confederacy and the union had made their careers in genocidal campaigns against native nations and against the indigenous m.s.j. So peoples of Mexico. Which included where we are now and next thing half its territory and including 3 major declared wars against the seminal nation before the Civil War Both Union and Confederate armies posted regiments west of the Mississippi to invade her Tori s of the Dakota Cheyenne Navajo Apache and Comanche nation among others. Wars against the native peoples did not miss a beat during the Civil War which saw the military rounding up and deporting the entire Navajo population that Kit Carson could round up to a desert concentration camp where one 3rd succumbed to starvation exposure and disease and the ethnic cleansing of the Dakota people and their traditional to her tour in Minnesota to be replaced by Scandinavian settlers. After the Civil War when the Us Army was supposed to prioritise occupation of the defeated Confederate States forcing a reconstruction in which liberated African-Americans could become posture dissipating and leading citizens the commander in chief of the armed forces the president kept shifting armed forces from the south to the west where 25 year total war was waged to destroy the native nations in the northern plains the intermountain west and southwest. The United States is a thoroughly militarized culture all the more dangerous because we don t know what supplemental. And it has been census bloody birth the blood being mainly that of indigenous peoples in the path of the colonists relentlessly expansion during that revolution the Revolutionary War. We see the signs of militarism all around us and in the media just take the n.f.l. Playing you know last week but as military historian John greener know. The cultural aspect of militarization are not new they had deep historical roots reaching into the nation s racist settler past and continuing through unrelenting wars of conquest and ethnic cleansing. And over 3 centuries. Grinner right the undead share a military utility Americans also found a use for the 1st way of war in the construction of American identity the enduring appeal of the romanticized myth of the settlement in quotes not calling a conquest of the frontier is there by actual men like Robert Rogers or Daniel Boone or fictitious ones like Nathaniel bomb poet James Fenimore Cooper s creation. Last Of The Mohicans. It all points to what d.h. Lawrence called The Myth of the essential white American. U.s. Nationalism its national narrative and origin story is white nationalism. And any historical analysis or current social crisis cannot be comprehended without acknowledging us that our colonial was them and colonial violence central indigenous America. Historically and in the present so I thank you. And. You heard the conclusion off a 45 minute speech that she gave at the Lenin foundation in October 27 teen. I urge you to go back to t. You see videos website and listen for fried to part on the doctrine of discovery that Steve made you know Dr who are g. . Sand under our T. s had been introduced by a friend and colleague historian Nick estus Yes a member of the lower brulé Sioux tribe in South Dakota and doctoral candidate at the University of New Mexico. Now Nick estis joins her on stage for an in-depth conversation one of the things you touched on the beginning as you cited the genocide convention and a lot of people think the act of genocide is the act of killing and they don t actually read the rest of the convention. And it reminds me of when and why the indigenous international movement went to the United Nations could you explain a little bit more about the current academic debates around genocide and the memorialization or lack of memorialisation over remembering of additions genocide in the 1950 s. Native American activists like Garcia make the calls and others were bringing it up and of course it was the we charged genocide manifesto that was led by Paul Broks and then others and they also had included the indigenous peoples in that manifesto which you can find online to read it goes back to the 1920 s. When Chief discuss where on behalf of ordinary Shoni there quite a confederacy to the League of Nations. And stayed for 4 years never was allowed in but he s quite a an icon for the people of Geneva which was where the League of Nations was held in the 1970 s. The United States had not yet ratified the genocide convention they didn t ratify at home 198840 years after every other country in the world had ratified the genocide convention and that was precisely because of the genocidal past of the United States even though the treaty was not retroactive the genocide convention is sort of common wall so it can if it you know comes up as. As a discussion and accusation actually lead to a world court decision or which the United States never obeys anyway that would require reparations or some kind of compensation. So the genocide convention was promulgated in the wake of the whole cost of course the Shoah but it had no way reflects the whole cost as is the bar that has to be reached for genocide because its title is the prevention and punish of genocide so. Who was the main architect of the genocide convention and Quine that were never existed before a look back at all of the poles Europe the Nazi era was just this just the giant most gigantic horrific of centuries of pogroms the genocide convention then looks at elements like I named taking children away which of course the boarding schools for $100.00 or 100 years in the United States and Canada did taking their language away taking children out of the family and taking the child because it didn t think Native people should be raising children and putting them in white usually Christian or Mormon hands families these are all listed as acts of genocide it doesn t require killing anyone because that is one of the acts and killing of boys doesn t have to happen during war. There has to be intent that is written into it has to be a policy clearly the relocation the ethnic cleansing east of the Mississippi was an act it was an act of Congress you know it was a policy the act and I today through his call of the determination act that was its name to do away with Indians wherever they can be done and they met they re going to be another term a nation actor that they met at that s why it s so important not just a little boy s history of what happened but today what is happening that might lead to to the say another terminations I mean. That was just the beginning off a conversation between Roxanne Dunbar TE s and historian Nick estus his book may need we Kone Werder is a life death and liberation is forthcoming and 2018.

A couple of brought severe your top 3 since this is the one to tell her tell her satisfy tickets now for free drinks and vacation week I m here with Debra Mark coming up the latest there is any latest in the whole protest of the n.f.l. Players kneeling or otherwise disrespecting during the playing of the national anthem a few things to talk about there the desperation continues in Puerto Rico for people there affected by the hurricanes particularly the 2nd one Hurricane Maria bring you up to date on all of that we re going to start off by talking about one of the big stories of the day President Trump went to Indianapolis to outline this big tax overhaul that the Republicans are proposing It s a trump and Republican tax plan. They have given up obviously you probably know that by now repealing Obamacare that didn t work Mitch McConnell the leader of the Republicans in the u.s. Senate the senator from Kentucky said it s time to move on now we re going to work on tax reform this thing has got some really big changes in it which we re going to talk about with John Paul the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is going to come on and give us his thoughts and some of the main points in this outline of this tax reform John welcome back to the show always a pleasure Ken are you doing I m doing just great the one thing that s getting the most attention particularly here in the state of California which is eliminating the current deduction for payment of state local taxes Yeah that is a big one there s a lot of good things in this particular proposal but the reality is the elimination of that deduction is kind of a kind of a big middle finger to liberal high tax states including California Massachusetts New York that that is a huge impact right now Californians are paying about a little over one $100000000000.00 in various taxes to the state that they are now able to claim as deductions on their federal returns so the impact of removing that duction has a significant impact particularly for upper income Californians now you know we re running the numbers and there s no you know this thing isn t final but in concept it certainly looks like this helps. Lower income people middle income people but as as you move up the economic ladder it looks like it becomes a wash and then if you happen to be pretty wealthy you re probably going to take a pretty big hit from this so it s a mixed bag but there are many things that we like in it this tax simplification the reduction down to 3 brackets instead of as many as we ve got and. Doubling of the standard deduction which certainly helps middle income families and in terms of the elimination of some of the deductions they keep the 2 most popular ones and those are the home mortgage interest deduction again as a representative of homeowners we re very concerned about that and the charitable deduction so those are retained but it is that elimination of the deduction for state taxes that s going to cause some it s going to cause many Californians to have some heartburn That s my biggest itemized deductions I can tell you that much and now says they re going to shrink the tax brackets from $7.00 to $3.00 in the top rate would be 35 percent instead of 39.6 percent that could make up some of the difference not having the deduction I suppose yeah and of and doubling of the standard deduction and then I think there are some other other provisions in here that are going to help middle class taxpayers. And small businesses and of course I think some of the small business benefits will help revitalize the nation s economy and an unknown in those if the if that one time what s called the repatriation rate you know I think we ve discussed the fact that there s tons of money as high as a trillion dollars parked overseas and President Trump of the Republicans would like to bring that money back give them a low $1.00 time repatriation rate if you have that kind of infusion into the American economy that could have a real positive effect but again at the end of the day how we score this as Californians is going to depend on everybody s individual situation yeah and you know you might laugh but I was reading a statement from state senator Jeff Stone who said that a limb in aiding. The deduction for state local taxes might lead states like California to consider or reconsider their high tax rates as a response to this I like smile and thought really you think that yeah yeah happy legislature is going to say ah maybe on a lower tax rate 13.3 percent is pretty harsh it is pretty harsh you know and just stones a good guy and he s a good fiscal conservative but I think you know I think he s being a little bit optimistic there it may be true I mean the pressure it certainly would provide a commonsense incentive for tax reform here in the state of California now where would they be smart enough to pursue it who knows the other thing to keep in mind is one of the big deductions that we have is for property taxes and here again we have another benefit of Proposition 13 though California is not a low property tax state but at least it s somewhat moderated by Prop 13 magine the loss of the ability to deduct your property taxes if we didn t have Prop 13 your property taxes were twice or 3 times what they are now to lose that deduction be huge so again we see another manifested benefit of Proposition 13 because the impact on the property tax isn t as bad as it would be but for Proposition 13 so again I think we re going to look at this I get I think the concern I think we have. Is that we re competing against states that have no income tax at all like Nevada Texas Florida and our top rate for high wealth individuals is 13.3 percent and you know the Progressive s in the ante for people are going to say well good get rid of these slips killed all the rich people the reality is if we give them a huge incentive to move out even more in the loss of this deduction could it. Seller rate that we rely so much on high wealth individuals for the biggest proportion of our income tax revenue that would be a real big hit to the California economy you know you wonder is that because you re right that s a good point will this lead some people to go to a lower state tax state because they re not going to be able to deduct these taxes on their federal return anymore right you know already the wealthy of already you know restructured their investments for example you know it s as that tax rate is called crept up you will see high wealth individuals those who decide to stay in California shift their investments to you know tax exempt double tax exempt municipal bonds and and you know look the rich people hire very good lawyers who will engage in strategies to reduce their taxes but but at the end of the day if they lose this deduction I think that would be the straw that breaks the camel s camel s back for a lot of people also getting some attention is that the lowest tax bracket will actually increase from 10 percent to 12 percent under this proposal you know the Democrats are going to attack that it s a what do you do when you re actually raising the lowest tax bracket percentage Yeah the price say that but I think the quick answer that is that the doubling of the standard deduction is going to going to more than offset that so I they re going to make that argument of course I just heard. On the lead in here Schumer s comments about this is nothing but you know for the rich I mean it s the same old you know Democrat stuff you know lies about tax reform is this perfect Probably not but but I think people don t just tune out all the criticism of of this proposal now there are some things that you know are going to have to be adjusted and fine tuned but overall it s for the nation it s certainly a step forward for California it s more of a mixed bag but I would still take this over the current. Structure and getting a lot of attention to is reducing the u.s. Corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 35 percent and of course many of the columnists are saying oh my God that s like that s outrageous Yeah the ad the average per tax rate corporate tax rate for the industrialized words world is 22 percent we re going slightly below the average of industrial nations in the world that s not a sop to corporations it is just it s good tax policy and will help to keep major bit love them or hate them it ll help to keep businesses and jobs here in the United States it looks like the net effect of this is going to be less money to the federal coffers and the response is that well yeah but we re going to grow the economy is reminds me of the Reagan years that was kind of the idea I mean the trickle down theory was somewhat derided by the lefties but the proof was in the putting the in the eighty s the Reagan tax cuts did in fact. Stimulate the economy tremendously and and of course that was offset by huge increases in spending in the defense budget for the purpose of burying the Soviet Union but it is true that you give people more money to invest and and they turn the economy around I think you know I was criticized for predicting that trumps 1st full year we could see 3 percent economic growth and we and we may be there even without doing anything because some of the things he has done at the administrative level have already had a positive impact on the economy thank you hang on John because I want to talk about the column you wrote concerning California Republicans and what they re doing to wreak havoc with taxes sure John Kampala presses the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is on with the we just talked about this idea to overhaul the federal tax code and then when we come back we ll talk about and this is important how California Republicans a select group of them up there in Sacramento are not too.

At least 6 White House advisers have been using private e-mail accounts like what it now list of one of the main arguments that Donald Trump used against Hillary Clinton in the campaign was let s read her e-mails what was she. Doing using a private e-mail server and then Politico reports yesterday that Jared cushion or that dimples had been using a private e-mail account to send or receive about a 100 work related e-mails during the 1st 7 months of the administration granted it s a 100 it s not 30000 I ll give you that but just for the appearance at how how do you possibly get caught doing something like this Gerri Custer s not the only one because after Politico looked into this and reported on dimples doing it they said also that Steve Bannon former White House strategist writes Priebus former chief of staff Gary Cohn Steven Miller even Yvonne could trump used private e-mail accounts again not the 30000 that Hillary Clinton was accused of using the sending and receiving while she was secretary of state using this private server but if that s if you know that that s one of the campaign issues can you not get White House counsel to make sure that everyone is on the same page here no more Jared at cushion or dot com No more Yvonne at Yvonne design dot com stop it be smart about this stuff and just just keep yourself clean and your argument doesn t get it now from the inside the Carrie and Shannon Levy mornings at 10 pm I am 640. Of your childhood away it is depressing it really is you know for instance and this is like maybe a small thing but John Caldwell got not emotional but you guys a little sad when I told him that the chuck e. Cheese was going to take away the band you know that autumn in auto animatronic though they called the band and they re going to take it away and the like no no that s right kid when I take my kid out there and he. I love that band we sat there was a big part of his childhood you know in my childhood I mean I did a ton of things the valley that we talk about all the time the Malibu Grand Prix we go to Lafayette or pop in taco and all these places are gone and we go to the ice skating rink on Ventura Boulevard that was just a little bit east of receded and all these places have all disappeared Swenson s ice cream in night and see you know Mike s pizza. All these joints the spaghetti castle all these places that I grew up and went to and my dad took me or my mom took me as a child they re all gone they re all it s all disappeared and so I understand when his kid says you sort of heartbroken because that was part of his childhood history you know that s respect time with your mom or your dad or both your grandparents all those that are broken I kind of felt sick I grew up here I started coming here and I was like one years old Tim Conway Jr 66. 6044 still really Tom do you remember the last time rates were in the 3 I can remember when rates were in the 3 s.

Can Show hours a day of high John a vacation here in Denmark as the news junkie Paul from our job as taxpayers association is with me is the president and we were just going over this federal tax reform but now we want to focus on a column he wrote it s appearing in papers around the state will taxpayers trust the Republican Party here in California again and he mentions as you well know for instance when they passed Senate Bill one that $52000000000.00 permanent new gas tax and car tax on California drivers it required bringing along some Republican votes in German like that what you pointed out people have to understand is this this provided cover for some Democrats who might have been in districts where people aren t looking too kindly at the gas that really aren t looking to kindly of the gas in the car tax as you said provided them cover so they could a vote they could vote no and look more fiscally responsible thanks to these Republicans who sold out and voted for these taxes. Yeah this is really kind of insider wanker s political stuff the phrase that we use is life voting in other words when Republicans cast bad votes they are giving a lifeboat to target the Democrats in marginal different districts who would you know if the leadership told them they had to vote for the tax increase of course they would right they would but but and leadership often times Democrat leadership will often select the assembly person or senator who they re going to let both they ll say well this person s most at risk Soror going to let him cast the the No the no vote on a tax increase to make him look good so we keep our supermajority in look the tanks increases were bad as a matter of policy and they were even even worse as a matter of politics because not only did they protect liberal Democrats but the overall in you know that our organization is nonpartisan we look at how they vote how people vote but it is helpful to us to have a strong Republican Party that fiscally conservative and when they re not fiscally conservative tarnish their own brand and right now if if I were a Republican concerned with the with the perception of the Republican Party I would say look the best way we distinguish ourselves from the Democrats is on fiscal issues to use it and so whether it s taxes or against the high speed rail. And other issues like transparency in government there are there are as is the Democrat Party is pulled left by the burning credits and the entire people that leaves a lane open for Republicans to fill that in meet the needs of middle class Californians and the question we have is are they going to do it are they are they going to stand up in opposed tax increases and look for average Californians in. And that s not for us to decide but if I were if I were in Republican leadership I would be hammering that message that look the way if you want to resuscitate an almost dead Republican Party in the state of California you do it by representing the interests of middle class Californians not before you go is it possible that Monday on the topic of the Josh Newman recall that we re going to get closer to finding out whether or not we can have that recall vote this year or allowed to be next year my understanding is that the response papers are due I m not sure that there is a decision due on Monday I have not heard that I have the all need to check with our with our attorneys but my understanding is that the calendar looks for a decision more toward. Mid October but that being what it is I think we get a that will still allow time for a special election so the timeline that the time frame is is is shrinking and we know that the Newman defenders are out there trying to get people to rescind their signatures I hear they re not having a real good luck good in that and so but we have to be cautious about this so. I think the odds are we will have a special election to recall Judge Newman and even if not he will face he will face the voters in June I hope it s sooner rather than later. But because we just saw as this legislative session that just wrapped up a few weeks just last week the last 2 months of the legislative session we see what a super majority party can do to 2 California taxpayers we need to nip that at the bud as soon as possible all right Jessica Poppy thanks for talking to me again you back in to our resident Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association knew you get a news update right now from Debra Mark in l.a.p.d.

Yeah right Caleb I am 640 John and Ken Show John is on vacation I m here Debra Mark has the news in a moment we ll give you the latest on the anthem story from the n.f.l. From versus the n.f.l. I heard you mention this couple times in the news this afternoon Deborah that is somebody today a person has been killed and one injury there was a rockslide Yeah the tan if you re a climate thing No I haven t been Yosemite and a 1000000 years but about 10 years ago for the only time I ve been there it was a great a great time there I did too but I don t I don t know if I did El Capitan I m not sure because it was so long ago you know I I would not give mountain climbing I can t imagine when I see guys do that I think oh my god it s it s just that my mind of a fear of heights just the idea that you could slip or you know you stick those things in there to get yourself if I carry it doesn t look even even the ones the safe ones they haven t like r.e.i. You ever seen the little climbing wall yeah I would even do that now I don t know I m chicken it s a large rocket fell near the east buttress climbing a root canal kept a ton about 2 o clock this afternoon and as a search has been launched to see if any more climbers may have been caught in the slide but they do have reports of at least one person killed or one injured Yeah there were about. 30 at the time climbing Oh yeah. And that s something you don t think anything about maybe formally about rockslide I now now the latest in the n.f.l. Anthem protest story and Donald Trump who is quite a down a little bit about it although we have this piece of audio from c.n.n. This is Anderson Cooper talking to Trump s favorite c.n.n. Reporter Jim Acosta who has some info inside information about how Trump feels this whole thing is going with him igniting this cause against the n.f.l. For these anthem protests Let s listen what we can tell you is that last night Anderson he did have a dinner with leaders of the conservative movement over here at the White House and it was during that meeting I m told I want to get attendees in the room that the president said a couple of times this is really caught on this is really caught on in reference to his comments on n.f.l. Players and patriotism he went on to say that he is essentially saying what a lot of Americans are thinking according to this person in the room who was at this dinner last night with the president he seemed pretty pleased with this uproar that he s ignited over the last several days writers and there you go now again situation is we ve looked at a couple of polls people do believe that the players should respect and behave during the national anthem whether or not they want to take it to this level of firing suspending or threatening the n.f.l. Or even boycotting the games wasn t quite as clear there are certainly some Americans worked up over this and they re referred to as the base and that s what Trump is trying to do that s fine news coming out of this 18 tees direct t.v. Is offering refunds to people that have the Sunday Ticket if you don t know what that is if you are a direct t.v. Subscriber you can actually buy what s called direct take it and you can watch all the games on any given Sunday you pick have a whole bunch of channels set up and you just pick whatever n.f. . Game you want to watch the regular policy prohibits refunds but customer service reps have reportedly said they re making exceptions in light of the recent protests so if you really feel that strongly about it you can get a refund one subscriber told The Wall Street Journal he got a refund of about $280.00 after calling simply to make a point about the whole thing and other protest news there are people that are burning n.f.l. Jerseys in protest players are being disinvited to certain events there are bars believe it or not bars and restaurants have decided they re not going to show n.f.l. Games on Sundays anymore and there are a couple people who have quit there is an employee who apparently worked for the Buffalo Bills some sort of field job 30 years he quit I cannot work in a place for a multimillionaire is cry that they are oppressed Well they re not talking about themselves being oppressed they re talking about the problems in cities with African-Americans versus police now we move over to the Puerto Rican situation. The mayor of San Juan said we need to get our bleep together because people are dying people are really dying she wants Fema to focus on distributing basic necessities like food and water and forget all the red tape every moment we spend planning in a meeting every moment we spend not getting the help we re supposed to get people are starting to die one of the things that made the news which is very odd is something called the Jones Act or the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. Believe it or not it requires goods shipped between American ports to be carried out exclusively by ships built primarily in the u.s. And to have u.s. Citizens as its owners and crews it was signed into law by Woodrow Wilson 2 years after World War One ended it was a protective measure against foreign competition particularly Germany by restricting domestic trade to u.s. Flagged vessels with u.s. Crews America would always have a robust fleet of boats and sailors on hand in the event German submarines attacked the u.s. a Lot has since found backers in the American maritime industry would says it supports American jobs recent presidents including Bush and Obama have touted as crucial to national security but apparently it got in the way a bit in rushing help to Puerto Rico Well today Department Homeland Security has waived the Jones Act so it no longer parents dealt with shipping deliveries of fuel . So it no longer is a factor in this problem but when I return to talk about a couple of weird stories in the news Oh and by the way one of the think as we mentioned this when Harvey was going on speaking of another hurricane remember a hurricane Harvey that struck Texas and one of the stories that made the news is you shouldn t be walking around in the floodwaters because they are full of nasty things a 77 year old used in woman who broke and cut her arm when she fell into the floodwaters has died from flesh eating bacteria. Nancy Reagan died of necrotizing fasciitis an infection that spreads quickly through muscle tissue and can cause organ failure and they believe this was the story she fell in the floodwaters and must picked up a nasty bacteria it kills the body soft tissue spreads quickly and can turn fatal You have to have very quick diagnosis and treatment of antibiotics in order to survive that and sadly this woman did not because there was a story that they tested some of the floodwaters and it was a nasty brew in there but more coming up on the John and Ken show here on k.

The defendant was naked in his penis was the father said the girl s night gown was pulled up in the father could see her stomach in her underwear and yelled at him he grabbed his suit coat and Wallaby ran out of the house they had to use a police dog to find him he was arrested inside a partly covered fishing boat at a nearby home and he was wearing nothing but the suit coat the girl later told police she woke up to find this naked guy entering her parents room before he whispered something into worry or something about wanting to keep this a secret from mom and dad you know kidding. And then pull down around to where I was touching himself on the father walked into the room so it sounds like Dad got there just in time Story number 2 involving people behaving badly is you know you hear much about these things anymore a swinger s party I magine they still go on this happened in Bay City Michigan 1030 at night the cops had to come to a home complaint of an assault when they got there they saw a Dodge Caravan in front of the home and a 28 year old woman by the name of Amber showed maker trying to enter the home with a screwdriver in her hand also outside was her 33 year old husband who was blue he was bleeding from a wound to his forehead apparently a woman inside called 911 told deputies she and her 31 year old fiance had arranged to have your party and the show makers came over Amber show maker was downstairs with the fiance or the female resident was up stairs with Amber as has been I guess Amber didn t like what might be going on upstairs and she freaked out when the pair up stairs came down Amber show maker slapped her husband went outside they followed her she gets in the minivan and she starts driving towards them the minivan goes over the curb onto the sidewalk and toward the porch with the husband and the other 2 people were standing both men had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over Amber show maker then drove away but came back a few minutes later and resumed the physical or to cation with her husband which is why he ends up with a deep cut to his forehead bloody scratch marks on his right shoulder a bite mark on his left shoulder he was bleeding from the mouth.

News this is from political shark. Teeth it s at t.d. Bear 81 at Mr Kelly stick to discussing superhero movies you don t have the depth to discuss foreign policy or social issues talk about Wonder Woman. Well thank you for that played a shark but with the exception of my career as a political analyst. You might be right I mean 7 I mean except that. I ll just give up talking about politics because you said I won t go on the b.b.c. Anymore I won t go on c.n.n. Or c.n.n. International I won t go on. I ll just stop writing my column I won t appear in The New York Times or the l.a. Times I ll just give up all that and just talk about Wonder Woman because you political shark who ve done none of that said so I doubt that they ll be jealous don t be bitter be better. News. Larry my god that is was. Yelling. At me Get me but. Sometimes I think I m curse curse it away because I miss out on all the good stuff. I m the guy when I was younger I would always go out because I was afraid I was going to miss something because the time that I would decide to stay and I wake up and people say oh you should ve gone to the party so and so was there or something happen and I believe I m always at the wrong place in the at the wrong time in the other way not that something bad happens and miss out on all the good stuff when I read that strippers were holding a topless carwash fund raiser to benefit 2 cops injured in a shootout and arrest a foreign pot farm I said there are there we go again yeah I miss out on all the good stuff I need my car washed my car s dirt is ill and I m thinking why not get my car wash rub down and lose. And a car wash featuring strippers because I really can t go to the strip club in the war I m right now I can t justify that but if my wife were to say were you on going to get my car washed be right back see death sounds better I can t say they were you going to a strip club no 2nd say that but I can see I m going to get my car washed and come back with a clean car so it s not like I m lying or stretching the truth I m just. A group of strippers held a topless car wash for these 2 police officers to dancers at City Limits Showgirls raise $2600.00 at the event in Marysville California up north to benefit Yuba County sheriff s deputies Philip Branson and Andrew Everhart the 2 law men were injured last month after responding to a report of an employee acting erratically at a marijuana farm didn t imagine that a radically in a marijuana farm. This is here s what the strippers had to say. We re giving back to the community that we re a part of bartender Anita Ashby said the sheriff s department said it had looked into the legality of the event and said that since it was held inside an enclosed tent and I.D. s were checked to make sure everyone was over 18 that it was perfectly legal Yes that s something I do know because I used to be a connoisseur of many a strip club all I know is that according to their car wash service the higher tip you give the better the show higher tip Oh you mean like you mean like gratuity Yes I completely misunderstood you know I think that it. Does you know. And I as a former member of the music industry you former member of the music industry I wouldn t say I knew Tupac but I have met him on more than one occasion as I did many people who worked in the industry I m quite sure you would probably come across him on a number of occasions I remember where I was when he was shot and killed it says on and killed I remember you told a story many times about your station and how it was I ll say. It was right in the middle of the east coast vs west coast war between rapper and so forth stations grounds or when I read that should Knight someone else I ve known and worked with over the years says that Tupac could still be alive and Shook said this while in a jail cell I have to wonder what the hell is going on that s a no no if you don t remember Tupac was shot in a car in which should Knight was driving on the last Vegas trip he was there physically when Tupac was shot and killed why he supposed at least of the belief that and I m not so sure he s even serious at this point why he s of the belief that Tupac could be alive why Tupac as a successful rapper even though there was a lot of heat on him back in 1996 would somehow go underground and be able to hide his whereabouts for more than 20 years is beyond me why he would hide his whereabouts and not even go to his mother s funeral is beyond me someone else I knew and worked with why is should saying this right now what does he hope to see hope that he s going to be freed because he can provide like and they never ask He s never getting out of jail Tupac was shot 4 times 4 times back in 1906. They said the shooter was wearing a bow tie yet never identify there have been plenty of conspiracy theories as far as whether should not himself was a part. Of the I want to call it assassination but the plot against Tupac there was always that because Tupac I guess if I remember correctly he was threatening to leave Death Row Records there was talk of. You know him wanting to be free and go about and you know supposedly individuals have gotten to him to say Hey Pocky this isn t you this isn t what you do and there are other rappers that you re familiar with like Dr Dre and also Snoop Dog who were on death row and left because of the shady business practices or logically should not so it was reasonable that Tupac wanted to leave and it was reasonable the best way to keep that from happening and also keep all the royalties because of the shady contracts was for Tupac to die in and then and in an unfortunate accident or a shooting in a public place it s all part of the conspiracy theory I mean people have gone into the day the time the hour how it all lines up to some Illuminati code in he s busy living on an island because he actually knows the truth about the government s plot against him pop you have some damn nervous talk about anybody in a conspiracy theory no I have lost your mind if I get on this show and complain about someone else with a conspiracy i m not be smirch ing I m So I m I m leading in adding to to lead to being known and to clarify that you know what she is expounding upon is all of the many conspiracies that are out there surrounding 2 POCs mysterious death . Larger question here and this is also musing on this more like a generational question why is it we are so obsessed with the idea of someone who dies and in timely death who is a music star or a superstar we need to somehow bring them back to life or say that they re actually still alive obviously I m talking about Elvis Presley. And for decades people it was it was not even a joke people were serious no Elvis was alive they would talk about Elvis sightings and it s like no he died 6 feet from his toilet but asked naked how high his heart probably exploded from all the drugs he was taking I mean this but still people want to resurrect him for any number of reasons there are people who get to pot tattoos and I m not talking about just that his name and their actual face and picture you know of of this young man on their body going full circle should not Gnosis and should not also knows and this is my conspiracy theory when you start talking about a dead celebrity like that and you re still financially tied to that dead celebrity that means especially if you re in need of legal funds that means that there s a way that you can increase revenue I would be willing to bet that to POCs album sales do increase over the next week connected to the albums that were on death row that should Knight still profits from especially if you can drum up some interviews and some other things like that maybe he s got a book in the works. Remember Michael Jackson when he died he was in debt. And now his estate is is drowning in money because of all that extra album sales after he died there s no there s a lot of money to be made after the death of a very popular celebrity especially a recording artist I would have to believe that the only reason he made this statement is because one we would discuss it on radio and t.v. And there s a financial carrot dangling out in the distance because I d be willing to bet let s check on it whether Tupac sales increase over this next week well next month or so because that means he directly profits it could have said it because the world is any tonight yeah I m still waiting just let me like it 8 o clock Pacific time or is it that world in the thing at 11 o clock central time I mean when is that because it s a lot of our Central Time in Australia is already tomorrow so yet to be really clear on when the end of the world is coming because I got to do tonight and I mean I want to make sure that I use my time wisely before the world in the world doesn t end the maybe North Korea will bomb us one of the 2 and as far as I m concerned the same thing because that means my world is ending. This is the most Ok if I am 640 more stimulating talk Michael ship a has a news. Bombers have flown to the farthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any sense u.s. Aircraft this century the Pentagon says the mission in international airspace shows how seriously President Trump takes what s being called North Korea s reckless behavior over its nuclear threats officials say the death toll from this week s magnitude 7 point one earthquake in central Mexico has climbed to at least 305 so the defense chief Luis Philippe point they sent out a tweet today saying 167 of those deaths were in Mexico City paramedics revived got his forty s a fell from the Belmont pier at Long Beach t.m.t. Said the man had no pulse when he was pulled from the water yesterday afternoon but they got a pull from that guy while they were taken to the hospital no word on the man s condition going to check out your warmer forecasts and the drive of the 210 that. There are different ways to look at gender according to the gender bred person when I read through this and looked at it in terms of you know adding layer upon layer of identity an expression is going to ology thing it s not only is it confusing it gives people reasons to treat you differently and if I had this in front of like it my kids brought this home from school yeah I would say to them I would go like this listen it s Ok it s Ok to know this stuff like it s Ok to know that that your friend Tommy is not certain where his gender bread person lies on the baking sheet of Life Ok it s Ok to know that maybe Tommy has some questions or is different feelings than you do about it but the bottom line is don t be a d. To Tommy right don t be this is a very personal and difficult issue for a kid to deal with Yeah don t be mean to him Don t be a jerk to him just because he s having these things that are different these feelings or expressions or identity issues that are different than what you re feeling. That s that should be the bottom line not use a gender bred person diagram to to marginalize somebody because they re different if you re a little girl and you don t like Disney princesses that s fine it doesn t mean anything it doesn t mean you need to be labeled a certain way you know and I mean just because you re not into the stuff that you don t go to the back of the baking sheet Jack has you exactly I would do this if the kids brought it home. Gary and Shannon we knew it was a 10.58642 weeks. Earlier but I was driving eastbound or southbound however wherever you you call it on the 101 and the guy in front of me has a convertible and he takes is in and out bag right outside the convertible then the cop then the straw and the lid but in that order the bag 1st should open about it gets caught the wind and disappears I think sure that the bags go on nearly hit my car and then the cup goes push it s gone and then the lid and the straw. And it flips out and he s just now he s driving a clean car freeways filthy but he s a nice clean car and I sort of honored that with a tip of the cap to him you know he s an a hole he knows it and I sort of celebrate how big of an a hole Tim Conway junior 666. $644.00 stimulating to watch the game going down some $2.00 dogs and trap field number for summer nice cake cooler Fridays night parties like to chase drink specials 3 you could win and. 2 yes we re giving them away he s got that number to join us this Saturday Ok for 2 for one champagne brunch buffet and 6 where else can get and the number one reason to go to Morocco Casino Resort Spa still fight this anyway.

More stimulating talk starts now. K.s.i. Car radio station. Am 644 stipulating talking Kelley here. Yeah we are due overdue for a good dose of nerd a llama from comic books to superhero movies on tech gizmos show us that you know it s time for another. 7 step feeling about. Learn. Your. Lesson. In that never Rama intro you hear that music and nerds nerds What s the dirt that comes from the movie Revenge of the Nerds and recently I was sad to learn about the passing of actor Bernie Casey who played you in Jefferson in Revenge of the nerds if you enjoy anything that we have to say about nerd talk or geeks and that kind of thing it has evolved largely because of that movie it s a movie in which reminded me it was Ok to be in the band it was Ok to study science it was Ok to think about things which are not sports and related and appreciate them and I just want to say Godspeed to Bertie Casey and well wishes to his family on his passing. With that let s get to the nerd news of the week there was this trailer which dropped Netflix Marvel Universe the Punisher for some reason to all my dumb ass since you a link to the trailer thinking like you hadn t seen it. And I know that I should have known better that you had already seen it 452 times by the time I sent a 10. At least I ve been waiting for for the full trailer. Since daredevil season 2. Was I found out that they were going on a head and shooting the full season in that it would be out this year I ve been waiting for the trailer of the teaser trailer where he s breaking concrete that they debuted at the end of the defenders for anyone who watched all the way through the last episode the defenders this trailer has given me everything that I need in something having to do with the representation of the Punish I mean we could play the trailer but it s just he see someone he shoots someone he s angry he s killing folks into what you know forgot to state the obvious what are you wearing right now look I m double down and Punisher in honor of Punisher day is I m going to call it I got on my sweater I got on my shirt I should warm up under socks but they were going to yes I do yes I do I have Punisher sux. Look vis is hands down my favorite character my favorite care you say Sure favorite character but it s been portrayed by different actors and different properties over the years I mean prior to now did you have a favorite like Thomas Jane or no for I mean for me it s it s the prior to Dolphin longer in. I would put an issue. That sounds like Ivan Drago I don t know I was here a Q I mean it pretty much was it was really really rough Thomas Jane. Ray. I want to say Ray Fischer but. Ray Stevenson who also took a turn with was a much darker more bloody violent Punisher I like Thomas Jane s. Self-made Punisher film he did with Ron Perlman called dirty laundry if you get a chance to go on You Tube You can probably still find Thomas Janes Dirty Laundry which prior to Jon Bernthal portrayal of Punisher in Daredevil season 2 was the best I ve ever seen Punisher done live shot out to Thomas Jane for that comes to me while the act is a quality actor and he took on the Punisher because like me he is a Punisher fan he was hoping by doing the 1st film they would give him leeway into doing his own so he took his own money and shot his own short to say please I m begging you give me a sequel this is what I can do not unlike Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds Yes very much and I think that s where Ryan rose got the idea because but ended. Thomas been drummed up so much support through dirty laundry but Marvel didn t really have the rights for and they were they were there was a whole fight to get the rights back so by the time they got it they re like sorry times and we re moving on. But but in this trailer I m I m I m so happy I m so happy that they re not going some type of heroic but what about the criticism that I ve heard that it s it s too dark it s too violent he is not a redeemable figure he is not. I mean that s one of those like yeah he s no no no he s not an antihero he s closer to a villain than you know what in the end see here s the thing when you watch. Season 2 a daredevil you ll see you know people taking the stand during the trial. Episode when they were trying to convict the Punisher and you had police officers and just regular citizens saying hey this guy is is is doing things that need to be done in our neighborhoods where you ve got some people like this guy s a murdering psychopath but you know what he only kills criminals you gotta love a guy like that. You gotta love it we ve got to pause for a moment because we ve got to go to break but when we come back on the other side we re doing the 2nd half are known around the what are we going to what are we going to get as a you know there s so many things that that that have hit I mean since this is like the 1st murder Rahman like 3 weeks ago when we got some some Han Solo news d.c.

And h.b.o. Where do you want to go I want to start with the hand solo tease there Ron Howard dropped this week it s a clip. Of what looks to be an area facility planet side with the word spicy back up Ron Howard who has stepped in to direct the stand to. Home and solo movie yes he has he took over for. Chris Lord in the other cat who who gave us the Lego movie. Howard is now taking over so far everything is looking good especially with this Instagram hit with the spicy I ve always wondered whether a director if you come up with come in step in late and not have to reshoot the whole damn movie to suit his vision because obviously there was a problem prior to that and n. And on with him with is because the main thing that we won and seen in this film is the Kessel Run why would we want to see that because it is lore it s something that we ve heard and thought about and wondered if the Millennium Falcon ever made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs and an end by spicy. Deep deep deep super deep Star Wars lore nerds know that. That on the planet Kessel live spice mines which were big in you know which were big among traders and pirates in the in the empire so saying spikes again showing what looks to be a mine or mine shaft or something leads everyone to believe that he s talking about the Spice mines a castle which I think we re going to see the Castle Rock I would like to see the Millennium Falcon in his prime I would too I would to. Speak in a prime coming back to prime time in October. The c.w. Arrow verse shows are back. Supergirl season 3 premieres on October 9th flash season 4 and D.C. s legends of tomorrow both from near on October 10th and arrow airs on October 12th just set your counters but I bring all that up to say that in November D.C. s are our d.c. T.v. Elise s already moving forward to let you know that vicious season s Epic 4 part crossover is crisis on earth x. Yet explained some because not everyone knows d.c. Every single year they will have a cross crossover event in which each show will tell a portion of the story on consecutive subsequent nights of end bringing each character into everyone else right world so you know flash an arrow and legends of tomorrow and Supergirl all take part in this 4 part. It s not just show it in each show and this one is interesting because it s almost. It s almost going back to to say Crisis on Infinite Earths where you ll have the heroes from Earth s prime facing off against almost clone like there s another Earth Earth x. Where where Nazis one which I think they re trying to get real political with this show where Nazis won and and just heroes and everyone just fighting against Nazis where you have like the Arrow and different heroes who actually turn out to be villains but because the flash has been jumping around throughout time and whatnot that he They ve got a hose I messed up the whole thing so now they ve got to do battle on earth x. And I m just curious to see how they re going to be able to do this what is it about Earth x. Own care about this earth I do too I care about this earth but. We re going to see ransom because this is big news some really cares because they may turn this into They ve been teasing the whole infinite earth by way back in flash and now we re about to see how they re going to either bring this to a cold so we can get back to just dealing with a with our Prime Earth and stop worrying about all the same every Earth you can t save ever damn it so just listen it s going to focus on this one focusing on this earth h.b.o. Has officially ordered the watch have been as a series the watchman is is probably one of the most revered comics in all of comic history because with that comic book came a darker realisation of who super heroes can be is x. Snyder production No No No Zack Snyder did the watchman film yes which left a lot of people scratching their head going w.t.f. Men like seriously what are you doing here this series it s being put together by Damon Lindelof Damon Lindelof Lind Lyndall. In other words he s that he s an unknown he s an unknown and and so h.b.o. Is going to brave this show we will see what happens I m curious to see how if they can do maybe like a game of thrones Khana like level of production on a watchman series that to be really really interest for me everything with watchman revolves around how they can portray Dr Manhattan if if that if they can successfully portray his power his intellect his idiosyncrasies and all those things then that for me will be a good sign if they can t get that right then it won t work for anyone working quickly before we get out here there is a new charity that is looking to help retailers comic retailers specifically through what many are calling hard times there are a lot of comic shops that are falling on hard times because it s getting harder and harder to get. The d. Diehards and the nerds to keep coming to the shop while also generating interest for new fans so there is a new organization out there helping comic retailers with issues that s clever helping comic retail s with dozens on through yes yes it is and and there are new charity that helps comic book Real tells remain in business to hard times this charities funded and was announced by its board of directors and whatnot so if you are a comic shop owner and you need some help getting through the hard times look them up look them up comic helping comic retailers with issues only had their address they I didn t find their phone number let s look at what you posted on the Web So yeah I find it and sukkahs I know there are a lot of shops a lot of people I know that every time I talked on there like do we are really going through it it s tough keeping people in the shops it s difficult because people of have a shorter attention span they re less inclined as a generation to be looking for a physical. Yet it s difficult and then a lot of what with with new or with newer fans and people who are being introduced to the world of superheroes and nerd to med large they may be going into the stores looking for what they see on t.v. And in films right but you walk into a store and you realize that this world is deep this world spans you know almost 100 years now in just comic lore he just with everything you can get lost just trying to follow with one story line much less the multitude of comics that are in the shop but I m floor you man kids going to shop Parents take your kid into a comic shop in knowledge your kids learn reading from something that they may like speaking of kids when we come back toys r us has filed bankruptcy what does that mean for toys What does that mean for the industry and what does that mean for memories of our childhood when we come back this is the most Kelley show k f I am 640 Michael suppose he has the news call about a puppy locked in a car ended with the arrest of the owner after police found drugs cash and a gun inside along with the dog cabin at about 130 this morning on West 2nd Street Pomona cops say that a gun was in plain view and they later found another gun some pot and cocaine in a more extensive search of the car the pilot the passenger in a single engine plane the crash landed on a street in Glendale were able to walk away from records no one on the ground was hurt in that crash last night very smart and final story in the death toll from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico is now at least 10 a number includes 2 police officers a drowned in the flood waters in the western town of a lot of the number of deaths is expected to go higher.

All that you know how we do our music interviews more of the same tomorrow and speaking of things which hearken back to our childhood or. It really broke my heart to read this week that toys r us had filed bankruptcy and whether that means they completely go away or are going through a reorganization that s neither here nor there for me it just speaks to the larger trend of traditional brick and mortar retailers struggling to survive regardless of the nature of their specific industry and it made me wonder why is it or how is it toys r us could not find some way to succeed online or as an online focus business as opposed to some of these other retailers it s not like toys are not being sold it s not like there is a lack of need or desire to purchase toys is just not going specifically to the physical location of toys r us or. Maybe it is maybe kids don t actually play with toys anymore they just play with smartphones and video games and they don t seek out toys in a way that you did or I did as a child and into all it didn t you work for time at toys r us I did I did I loved it I was I was an am a Toys r us kid so that was one of the greatest joys of my life to actually work there after shopping there and going there for so many years and just knowing so much about the store walking into it I still go in and check it out so reading this story and seeing this it it hurt my feelings but it reminded me that you know last year you know when I work during the holidays you know during Black Friday shopping you know we open of him in night expecting this big rush you know we had Black Friday 2016 yes we had loads of pie phase games and shopped in and Nerf guns and you know we had stance instead of to create the lying to organize the crowd and and I think maybe 100 people walked through the doors that evening. And that and that s not good you know in our store shelves were packed and even the next day there were lot of people they came in you know you know just but but not enough to justify. All that product and really the staff we all know it s a tough thing you know and then I think probably the busiest time that we had was was the returns people coming in who had gotten gifts and were bringing them back but you have a business like Amazon which sells a little bit of everything I wonder why maybe they did try I don t want to assume that they didn t why toys r us did not be able to say they were unable to see the future where it was headed and possibly try to pair with an online retailer or to create that online presence so the name has or is that they have a serious online division I mean like like we have a whole section of the store dedicated to boxing in packaging in fulfilling online orders. I think I think what the some of the biggest things that we saw were the in-store play sessions work where we switched set up a thing where kids could come in and play with the new Lego sets come in and play with different things so they could get an idea if they liked them or not you know even even bicycles you know you would see kids riding around the stores on bikes and I hang get off that bike before you crash or hurt yourself but if toys r us is going to survive with all that real estate that these stores have they need to find a way to open up their stores for 4 more in-store experiences for children because otherwise you don t need all that space just to sell stuff that you re right people can get on Amazon easier in fact probably faster and it ll be in stock Yeah and deliver probably that day or the next latest That just breaks my heart I remember when I when I got the news that f.a.o. Schwartz was going through bankruptcy and closing stores is just another toy store closing it s almost like another portion of my childhood dying unfortunately hopefully toys r us will have. Some way to survive beyond this bankruptcy and at least keep that name alive this is the most Kelly show coming up next is Monique Marvis we ll see them all hopefully around 53536 and then we disappear for an hour I know it s weird it s very weird and then we come back at 7 o clock. am 640 more stimulating talk.

Now what a difference a day makes the the weather we re sure rocking about this time 24 hours ago I mean we had a guest in near talk about school choice and hardly let me get a letter get a word in edgewise because we had all this breaking weather stuff going on it looks nice today but to give us an idea what all happened yesterday afternoon evening and even into the middle of night I know my wife woke me up at 4 45 in the morning pushing me pushing me like listen to that song like hail like you know Ok I m going to sleep. Anyway we want to go to the news radio want to do 9 k. R.n. News maker line and welcome senior meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Little Rock Chuck Rickard to our program in the vain hope that he may be able to help us re instill some sense of decorum today s proceedings Chuck l.r.u. I m doing good thanks how are you I m doing pretty good but I guess some of the folks north of Little Rock really got hammered last night. Yeah we actually saw kind of 2 waves of severe weather impact a good part of the state the 1st round came through. The most this time yesterday a couple. Storms that moved across the central Arkansas and up across northeast Arkansas produced. Right now we ve got 2 tornadoes. That we surveyed today want to take its And like county and then cans in one county as well and that storm continued on into Tennessee and points east and then we actually had a 2nd wave of line of storms come through the overnight hours which as you were mentioning walk quite a few of us up. Predawn hours this morning and that was actually a soldier with a cold front that came through and brought us all this cooler weather today so let me let me just correct the record on that Chuck storms don t wake me up that was definitely my wife that woke me up because she wanted me to hear the hail but I think I saw it through to my wife was awake but I myself so you go well so the 2 tornadoes that were sure of that hit the 2 small communities in White County was that around like maybe 7 or 8 o clock last night yeah just after 7 the 1st one right now we think happened 7 o 5 and Gibson and then the next storm the next 20 to touch down just up the road again to around 7 o 9710 so they were pretty close just just after 7 o clock hour Ok I remember the 1st time that I saw anybody talk about Doppler radar weather and it was like golly I don t know probably 20 some years ago when I was in Charlotte North Carolina hanging out my mom s house for a little bit. And the meteorologist on t.v. Was saying Ok so the storm s going to be right here at 5 o 7 and then over here at about $510.00 over here $513.00 and my brother and I look at each other like how they do that I guess the advances in technology over the last 20 or 30 years have have really helped you guys to be able to do your job a lot better than like say meteorologists say 40 or 50 years ago Oh most definitely I mean I m dating myself when I started the weather service but when I 1st came in it s almost 30 years ago I mean we were doing were in our. Pen and paper basically wearing out where the storms were and then when the new radar station and their early ninety s you know computer power wasn t that great then which improved over the years but yeah it was a I mean just a night and day difference as far as what we could see as far as data wise with storms and it s still even today I mean they re still there in research on just you know really what we see and what the radar interpretate some how we have Turkey the data so I mean it s you know we re just at night and day from what we had to deal with 2030 years ago so yeah I remember in the Carolinas there was a tornado outbreak in 1984 and in late March in 1904 and some of the the really small towns that got hit and you re going from the South Carolina into North Carolina I remember thinking at the time well they didn t really have a t.v. Or radio right there not much you would think of these real small towns how would people even know back then before the internet before Doppler anything you know and a lot of the death and destruction so you know we have a lot we thank of war in this day and age what s what s the biggest. I guess challenge that meteorologists and you guys the National Weather Service have even with all this technology. Oh I wouldn t have. Maybe not whole a problem I probably just data overload today there are so many ways to get warnings and information the information is all out there that we provide the tablets and yeah it s all free and you know people are programming doing different apps for your cellphone and you know it just are so many ways to get the information out just making sure you get the right information for where you are and you know basically know where you are and have a plan once you get that information a warning or a watch and such so yeah because I was telling people yesterday like. Depending upon what county they were in if you re out on the road you need to get into a you know really starting shelter right away you know yeah you really I mean need to be really aware where you are and you know the surroundings if you re not familiar especially you know if you get stuck on the interstate somewhere and there s a tornado I mean just comes on the you know if you don t have any warning via your phone or anything so I mean there s a lot of. A lot of different things that you know can apply to a situation like we said you know each situation is different for the public so yeah you know what we got a listener here who has a quick question about whether satellite of if if if that s Ok if we can take a listener call here real quick get us on Ok Roscoe in Conway you had a question about the weather satellite for Chuck Rickard from national weather service or a check Roscoe here I ve heard about the new geo says it geo 16 weather satellite Yeah yeah yeah and outside is just going to revolutionize the way you all do everything I can to hang up and listen to your comment on it yeah Ok sure hear that thanks good call Roscoe. Chuck your thoughts about that well we re we re kind of in the early stages ourselves of saying we having seen the data yet we ve just seen some snippets of the. People that are actually brought the satellite on on line that we get to see and really we re not going to see real time data probably for right now maybe within the next year or so so we re actually working in the training process are so kind of. Out of beta testing right now yeah they re testing out the satellite themselves so it will come online in the next 6 to 12 months and they will you know be able to actually look at some of the data but it s going to be totally revolutionized as far as what we re you know instead just pictures of the cars around me so much more than we ve ever seen before so how how the 1st pretty colors 1st one so yeah all right what Chuck thank you so much for for being available on such short notice and and come in to come on and tell us what what happened overnight and we preceded all you guys do and as we say here in the natural state y all concious Oh yeah that s just what 5 minutes whether we change is so dry that it was a dry weather for the rest of the week so we should be nice for a few days absolutely God bless you have a great day sir thank you hi to thanks.

Good afternoon and how are you hate doing pretty good and thankful that we didn t have any power outages in our neighborhood but obviously with. Some of the really bad weather that passed through I guess what we just had. A meteorologist of National Weather Service and it looks like there were basically 2 waves the 1st wave late afternoon early evening and then the other wave overnight and I know that any time something like this happens you guys get your your guys out there as quickly as possible to try to get everybody s power back on what what was the the damage. Right well as you can imagine probably from some of the images each saying lot of broken pole a lot of wire down particularly in the Northeast Arkansas and central north central that a Q a confirmed tornado now in The Hague and Kenseth area around 30 a lot of damage there I bought a lot of damage in the Harrisburg and walnut Ridge quadrille area and up and they are looking well a lot of there s a lot of work to do. Get that stuff replaced and that picked back up a lot of the straight line winds high gusty winds a lot of damage in Mother Nature was was really kind in some parts not so much in others yeah that s for sure I mean basically yesterday about this time on our show we pretty much suspended regular programming and we re just warning people about this warning here this watch is there take a look at the. The radar for people who were driving and telling them to stop driving and you know get in a really sturdy building not a not a not open or formers market in you know in something brick and mortar So where were you guys right now as as far as as outages in and putting people back online Sure Well we ve I have restored about 20000 of the outages they were at the peak about 33000 We re now down to about 14000 I m most of those in that northeast corner that we talked about you know the Batesville was ill want to reject every a we have a good group of about a 1000 in the Mountain View area as well that will be working on into this evening sure so yes there s there s work to be done this evening some will be restored tonight of some will be restored into tomorrow and into tomorrow evening so and then there may be a few here and there that would carry over into the following day but the majority of those risk be restored by tomorrow evening and I guess the the best advice is we re trying to get this done as quickly as possible please be patient and you know we try to I guess under promise and over deliver right Well absolutely and listen you mentioned safety.

Law professor Robert Steinback the only conservative law professor from William h. Bone School Law University of Arkansas Little Rock. Whose views and opinions do not necessarily represent those of the staff and management the board and whoever else that you are but m.r. Obama bring in Asia. He is trying to raise the warning bell. About. A little piece of. I think I call a mendacity called Senate Bill 373. Brother Steinbach you seem to be kind of hot under the collar about this what what is going on here a lot of people who may have heard you talk about this earlier. Well let me let me I mean I m going to backwards people listening right now maybe people who didn t get out of work till 5 or 530 so they may have never heard you even bring this up before perhaps you can express to them your concern and then tell folks who did hear about it earlier what happened today Yeah absolutely it s my pleasure it s a pleasure to be back on the radio with you my friend thank you sir so so Representative Andy Davis and Senator Bob Hester introduced this day all they made a slight amendment today that is of no moment it s absolutely no change in fact and they re trying to hoodwink you into thinking to thinking otherwise but putting that aside in general this deal says that they re creating a whole new exemption to the state Freedom of Information Act which you know is my interest my area and they want to say that all attorney client privilege the information shall not be disclosed under the foyer Now let me be clear when I see it turn it client privilege information the attorney government attorney the client government client Yeah who pays their salaries you and me do yeah I do it s taxpayer So here s what they re saying after you shelled out hundreds thousands tens of $1000.00 thousands of dollars in taxes to the government to hire more bureaucrat to hire more lawyers to represent the bureaucrats everything that they do with each other to each other whatever that might be. That s all that was shielded from the foyer so you won t get to know what they re doing if what they re saying if this passes through well repass the Senate passes the House and the governor signed it which I m sure what well apparently it passed the Senate and now it went to the house. A committee passed the committee today that s the update but it passed a committee with a slight amendment so it s got to go back to the Senate and it s got to get passed through the House as well and now it s time for all of your listeners to call all of your all of their representatives and senators and tell them to vote no on s b 373 basically say what do you guys trying to do to us anyway by the way we re not starting off the year you mentioned that the great Dan Greenberg who we both have the utmost respect for actually testified against or attempted to testify against right Bill in in the House committee today how did that go well of course Dan genius I mean yes he is sincere really and Dan spoke very well about the problems with this bill and said look you re trying to cram this mistaken piece of legislation through you haven t given it any attention you haven t given it any thought frankly chairman Ballenger kind of dismissed and I thought it was insulting how the chairman Adele Oh yeah yeah and and and and the Davis looked like you know it looked like a fish out of water he thought he heard the legal terms a day and as a lawyer was saying and Andy Ballenger was proposing this bill Sr and he Davis and a few minutes and yeah and I ll tell you this then he didn t even seem to know what he was doing he had with him listen affectively and he Davis was walking on a leash by the university he walked in with 2 university folks in much more expensive suits with expensive hair cut one of them from you a mess gets up there and says listen if some poor little citizen doesn t like what we re doing after we enact this bill well I m sure that s his recourse as Jack man Jack you know and by the way guess who is paying for that mouthpiece you are I am That s right these are these are mouthpieces for us that we re paying for it. This is outrageous No it s beyond outrageous these this is the archetype of cronyism and corruption this is not a Republican bill I m going to tell you that right now this is a Democrat bill that s being brought forward by by people who either don t know any better or who have been bought and paid for effectively by big education do your craft and now and I will personally campaign against anybody who votes for this bill this is a bad bill it s a dumb bill it s a fraudulent Bell you know they are looking to steal from the public their own record and they want to say level playing field tell me when the last time when you heard that that the government is disadvantaged when it comes to a public citizen and I thought that in it s not just is not just attorney client it s not just.

Put it up on my Facebook and put away Facebook page right now who says this is crazy. This is crazy. Let me let me tell you what I m what I m what I m putting up here go back to law professor Robert Steinback from ular from bone school law. This is this bill this bill Senate bill 373. Will exempt Arkansas government lawyers from Freedom of Information Act requests if you think Arkansas governor is getting away with stuff now just wait you can t even find out what they re doing call your state rep and tell him or her to vote against it it already passed the Senate. By friend my friend you know think about it you ve got the university and their lapdog and the Davis going to the legislature and if and turning on its head they ll say you know they say you can t fight city hall you know what you know what the university in the lap dog and the Davis are saying there s a core city hall they need some further protection from the big bad citizen who wants to know how his or her money s being spent Yeah really really yeah now tell me. Tell me about the interaction today between Dan Greenberg who I have the utmost respect for and to and Bob Ballenger the chairman of this House committee about the Senate bill to basically got the free with make sure that what what what Dan say and what a bob say I so I was a little surprised that to be honest because I agree with you generally about Bob but Dan says look we re never going to know if there s misdeeds being done and not turning over documents if you don t in this huge gaping black hole of an exemption by Andy Davis and so you ll never find out you ll never find out if there s wrongdoing you ll never find out if the attorneys are hiding something if it s the bureaucrats who actually answer the for your requests are claiming the privilege not withstanding the claims by the attorneys and that was his response was effectively I don t you know I hope we re not hiring those kinds of bad people well like here until you have Bob we have I mean because and you know how I know it s because I sat in several joint performance review committee hearings with Alan Clarke and I saw some of those bad people. Testifying under oath and saying crazy stuff what about the $5000000.00 that was lost by the University of Arkansas that was exposed by the Democratic jet and in their eggs in their spirit used. And the only reason they got that information was because of the foil and I know for a fact that those reporters would not have gotten all of the information they did get if this suggestion was built into the statute that or that I know it for a fact this is the problem when this is your money this is my money these lawyers are not private lawyers these bureaucrats are not bureaucrats are not private individuals they work for others and what ever you give power to the state you only have to check it because if left on track it will run wild and that is that you have Harry and operation of governmental power that s why we have a Freedom of Information Act and that by a Republican 50 years ago and Andy Davis wants to kill the foil and he wants to kill the Freedom of Information and he s not the only one obviously hang on just as I get more coming up with medicine doc washer show continues you got a new thread you ll want to tonight are an brought to you by it s duck season Duck Duck Go season that is Mom s get your shopping boots on to find the best bargains in town and get clothes shoes toys and baby items at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds this Thursday through Saturday forcing accidents right now being worked by a Little Rock Police tester at 16 business park in Vero and the last one being University at Colonel Glen all being worked by Little Rock police at the moment this is the Arkansas traffic network driven by train them out of team train teams.
