And I've looked at this from every angle. For presidents have to sources to continue we examine the media coverage of women and minority candidates including. Perceptions on the take away from. Q. On c.b.c. Radio one in Canada across North America on Sirius x.m. 169 n.p.r. . That is the theme music from h.b.o. Show succession if you don't know about the show I mean you probably heard like a coworker or a niece or nephew. Like have you ever had the experience of watching a t.v. Show and the character you connect with the most actually sort of someone who gets introduced a little bit later or someone on the periphery of the story sometimes those characters can become your sort of unlikely favorites and if you're a succession fan I'm willing to bet your favorite character might be causing Gregg Now listen if you don't know the show it takes you into the back biting world of the family business 4 siblings each trying to succeed their aging father Logan Roy who runs the business they do some pretty ruthless things to one another in the process and cousin Greg is the likely pot smoking in a car great nephew who stumbles his way into this 1000000000 Dollar Game of Thrones Nicholas Braun is the actor who plays him and he's with me in studio live right now hey. It's good it's great great to be here it was nice to hear you describe the succession theme is a banger Oh it's a banger it's an absolute. Banger fat fat and I love that song it's Listening To be honest it's about I saw you I was watching the Raptors game last night yeah and then who shows up on my screen I was up there on the old Jumbotron How was that I didn't know where your records man. I'm a basketball fan so they offered me tickets to go to the game and I was very excited to go in and watch those guys I mean they're just some of the best big fan and Kyle Lowry in all this you know they found it it was a bit of a trip that you're in this like on the show like this now that you're in this moment where you are you go to these you know basketball games you end up on the jumbotron in a country that's not yours yeah. It's a pretty well it's a pretty weird thing. You're like do I just look into this camera which then projects into this room of many many many people are doing I don't you don't really know what to do but yeah but it's you know this show has been amazing I feel like very lucky to go around and talk about it and be a part of it and yeah you could do the thing where you like talk to your friend next to you and I'm not really kind of ignore the Jumbotron you know yeah my brother was right there I should have just like yeah I acted as if there wasn't just kind of wave Yeah yeah I'm busy in a conversation but oh yeah tell. Me Just get me to set this up for everybody so Cousin great sort of stumbles into the show's main plot which is the family battle to succeed the aging patriarch Logan Roy. Greg not like the other boy is for people who haven't seen the show where does he fit in cousin Greg he is the nephew of Logan who's who's this the patriarch. The He's the grand Greg Greg is the grandson of Logan's brother and they're actually Canadian they're from the Canadian side of the family like the farming side I guess the family owned a paper business when they're younger and Logan took the paper business and my grandpa my character's Grandpa took the farming side and we kind of got the short stick Logan became a billionaire and we became maybe like 100 millionaires and. You know like give me a break we really got shafted right. So Greg the pilot of the 1st season starts and Greg is trying to get into the corporate world by being a mascot at the amusement park that is the way Star Royko amusement park and gets too high and ends up throwing up through the eye holes of his cost him and. His mother is basically like look this is your chance to get in go to your uncle's birthday uncle on his birthday and make an impression and get your job back and I go there and I think the sort of spoils of of it all are very enticing and very exciting and. And I want more than just my mascot job back and so I start to maneuver Yeah and I 1st episode and it continues from there so I want to play a clip from succession that sort of shows obvious maneuvering a sort of this awkward maneuver a Take a listen to this I'm not bringing this up and it's almost right but. So you know when you have to destroy those documents it cruises. You know. Why I kept it. I kept you all of them just in case I got in trouble in because I was worried that maybe I was straight since of criminality. So. I don't want to bring anything up to know whether things like horrible would it be bad for me to like mention you know you ask a black male. I would I could he tell I don't like you it's just you know context very well it's at you're black brown accept or black male that's the cousin Greg Nicholas Braun is with me as did you he plays cousin Greg awkwardly blackmailing Tom But is there an argument to be made that late Greg is the only good person on the show I mean these are such hateable characters these sort of billionaires a Greg sort of comes in from a middle class or like he's at 100 millionaire class background and yeah yeah I think yeah he comes from a more modest upbringing than the kids you know than the main children of Logan So I think he doesn't come from like a cut throat mentality. You know he's he wasn't like learning how to be greedy and learning how to make deals as a kid you know so so he comes and naive. But he's highly ambitious too so he sort of I think is I think Logan senses that in him and sort of like Prague's it yeah and you know and as the series goes on I think you. He slowly loses that moral center but I often wonder whether he's like a stand in for the audience because I think when I when I would watch the show I would think and by the way I sort of embarrassingly disclosed to make before we started that I watched the whole thing in like 4 days and by the way you can watch the whole thing in life or do you know how do the feel it felt you know creatively exhilarating physically not great yeah you know I was kind of tired by the end of it and probably chips Yeah well yeah you're eating chips thought I'm Ok that's not healthy amount up to this which hummus Yeah exactly you know some carrots or something now yeah but but yeah I guess you can you can watch it very quickly because there's something kind of I mean to me like when I watch some of the episodes they're like kind of sickening but at the end you know like I gotta see where that goes yeah. So yeah but it's also just so unlikely you know it's so it's unlikely these days that there seems to be a show that everyone can sort of agree on that everyone seems to be watching again and when did when did you start to know that the show had become something special keep an actor for a while didn't work for a while yeah yeah I have. I think. What we didn't really know what it was the 1st couple episodes I don't think I mean maybe maybe other people didn't just see our writers as brilliant guy. And has been running for a long time and it has mixes genres and tones and humor into all the things he does but I think. I think we did you know we shot the pilot we all thought thought it was good I think we had a good time making it and then as we read episodes 2 and 3 and 4 you're doing table reads and it's like really funny like we're making an hour long drama for h.b.o. You know it should feel heavy and sometimes it really did but then it was really hell Arius in these table reads and we're like are we making a comedy and me and Matthew Macfadyen who plays Tom are like are we are we or I don't I can't speak for him but I was like in my ruining the drama part of this because this is funny and like people are laughing and maybe we should go for that I want to play something because it's a bit of a trip talking to you right now just because I watch the show so much I want to play this clip from your interview Stephen called their show Ok we had one of your other costars Nicholas Braun Yes Les cousin eg Ryan glass Did he seem was mocking his character is all forgotten every night by the state very sweet very very nice I had real confusion because the 1st season I used to call him Greg because I got his name wrong but it was part of the script the 2nd season I kept calling him that. When I should've been calling him Greg and they said No Brian it's Greg not Nick I said he's so like the character I can't tell the difference so that's the Scottish actor Brian Cox who plays Logan Roy sort of the aging multi-billionaire patriarch on succession and I'm here Nicholas Browne from succession and he says something there that I had to the method I'm sort of feeling right now which is that you seem very similar to a Character Are You very similar to your character I have there's a lot of similarities I think yeah I mean. I don't I try to put a lot of myself into this guy and. You know he's uncomfortable in this world when the show starts and I think as it's going on he's getting more comfortable or getting a little bit more like solid in himself and in these rooms and learning how to operate a little. Better and blackmail you know blackmailing even though it's sort of reluctantly blackmailing. But I pile like to put a lot of my own awkwardness and my own. Things into it and to Greg and that feels really good to me because I think that's what's interesting about him is that he's like the most sort of vulnerable in this you know everybody else is kind of cold and they kind of shut down emotions and they can't show this or that to each other OSs they'll get you know look at me funny or Logan will you know remove them from their position in the company or something if they show too many emotions. And Greg I think my take on Greg is that it's fun it's fun to watch him feel all of the stuff that he feels and these places and like gets excited about getting flown to Hungary you know in the season we fought hungry you know or any of those things so the stuff that they take for granted you can see you getting very excited about and that's going to see my said we got to see the audience in the right we see ourselves at what we would be pretty excited to be flown to Hungary and you know to eat a bird with a blanket over our head you know these things evolve a very exciting right you know now yeah I have you found yourself like this is such a world of like high finance and you know it's going to billionaire class and so many kind of read about in the news and something that we know about from television and stuff like that but now that you've sort of portrayed members of that class have you found yourself being welcomed into it have you found yourself being invited places have you found yourself you know people reaching out that they think you're part of that world. I mean I yeah I guess I guess so yeah. Yeah it's kind of opens up. It's kind of opened up some some some fun. Hangs but. I don't know I'm I told the story on Caldera when I went on but I you know I got to meet the Clintons at a party and both of them yeah both of them know you know I was not chatted up with them I mean pretty awesome pretty awesome bill is like such a charismatic man and. And and Hillary to you know. I voted for Hillary so I was I was very sad to meet her and decided to tell her I don't think I did tell or yeah the weird thing to say when Yeah yeah yeah I was I was in my opener you know. You got my vote. Started happening Are you Ok. How do you know but this is all of the media's whole theory in a I guess I have to call it a theory for legal reasons that that that the royal family given their media tycoon with the you know aging the leader from and now the country other than the United States and there's a power grab between the siblings about who's going to take over everyone thinks about the Murdoch's right everything's about Murdoch's Murdoch's of course famously from you know a powerful media family Fox News in the Wall Street Journal in the Times in London where you were you that aware of the Murdoch before you took this on no not really not really I mean I you know I saw a lot of those headlines about life of you know Phone phone scandal and war and all that stuff but I didn't really follow it and I don't follow that much of the news and and all that sort of stuff so I didn't yeah I didn't know it was what was the deal with the Murdoch have it have any of them reach down now to me you know but I fear some of them have watched it. We hear little things you know the cast like sort of gets little whiffs of stuff like a Lizabeth Murdock's seen it or you know is there a cousin is there cousin Greg in the Murdoch family. I don't know. I looked up I looked up the Murdoch's when I was when we 1st when I 1st got the part. And there was some guy I can't remember his name but he just looked like a cousin Greg and he was in a bunch of photos and it was just sort of like it's like his suits didn't quite fit and his hair was not great and he looked like he was trying to lean into pictures with people. Like he wasn't immediately included in that picture but he sort of got his way and you know and I felt like that's the Greg I don't know maybe he's just some guy that is around but photo bomb Yeah exactly that's no not yeah he's doing a good job being around essentially wanted a gigantic news you know junkie before he took this job on but I have to imagine that you know being in a show that's sort of about the manipulation of news and I should point out to people who have watched the show the royal family own sort of a media conglomerate a lot of their conversation on the show is about you know how they might twist the news for political means or for business means he has being in the show changed the way you watch the news or consume media. I guess I guess I read things sometimes and I'm like that could be a succession story line or that is what we just chop you know or just came out. On our show so so there is. Yeah I guess I am sort of sensing it like like there was a. This isn't exactly news but in New York we have these these like electronic billboards and there was something on there that was that was like President Trump tries to shut down biography. You know someone writing a biography that's bad paraphrasing but that's what he was doing and that's something that was a storyline that we were already shooting in succession where Logan is trying to shut down a woman in season 2 who's trying to write his biography and Greg just started to talk to her yeah a little bit. And so you had stuff like that I guess I'm just I just have a more of a keen awareness of of how the media you know these big families are using the media or how trumps using the media. So yeah there's there's definitely a bit of that they're just tuning in and speaking with Nicholas brand you might know him as cousin Greg from H.B.O.'s show succession speaking of bangers Take a listen to this the last word to. Your favorite. Mix what are we here and why I can't just play that's what isn't. True that's so cool that you just played it this is a song that I made a. Couple years ago when I had it in my computer and I never put it out man. One courageous night like maybe 6 months ago or something I say I'm just gonna put his hands on my Sound Cloud and see if anybody likes it and it's one of my favorite things I made. I made it with a little like a drum electronic drum machine is part of my fair part turn up. Yes. Sounds good. From no delay was music a plan for you before acting oh. Yeah I've always loved making music I yeah I sang I was a I was a kid you know I was I was Ok I was a kid I sang in my school choirs and I sang in acapella in high school and. I loved making music I love writing songs I love help playing piano I can't read music but I like playing and so all the songs I make are just sort of finding chords and notes that sound good to me and feel like I'm not like I can write a melody over them. And so and me and my brother made some songs for bed and we're starting to make music again and it's something that I I think about all the time but I just don't have time for it enough and you know now I'm on the show and I'm acting and and working a lot but I love to make music and. Yeah so I'm hoping to get back to it more now that we have a few months off. Also here because the Canadian Canadian music. I hear you like like and I'll show you you know like you know like Daniel Caesar and you lay Yeah Canadian artists I actually didn't know Daniel Caesar was going to go awesome yeah I love Daniel Caesar I love Andy Shaw for I think any shot makes such beautiful. His lyrics or some of the some of the best lyrics I love how he performs he sings with such like amazing intent I don't know if you've seen him perform live yes I saw him at a church last year is incredible yeah yeah so good he didn't know I was there but that's I'm going to church but chances are it looked you directly in the eyes that's the way he performs because he wasn't performing he was just at church yeah right he's from being fetes a sketch and yet deep out there apparently right do you really small town yeah shut up if you listen to this I'm being favorite now Congrats on your favorite son and a chef Yeah you're on your man he's doing great so before you go who do you think I'm going to ask this like you know in the end I can't spoil the end of season 2 I think the last episode of Season 2 is one of my favorite television episodes of all time thank you but you know who you think is going to win this thing who you think is going to win the succession Game of Thrones like do you have any predictions. I I don't I yeah I don't I don't see a laser kind of pointed at your head right now yeah right. Now because because because our show runner so smart he's going to he's going to make this a real dance for a while so. So he knows how to craft it but I mean. The all 3 of I liked what they did with cure and caucus character towards the end of the season especially the last 2 episodes without saying too much he just grew you see some different sides of him that make him more of a contender. And I mean I'd like to see Greg you know like take some big swings at some point which he's starting to to at the end of that season. But I don't know who's going to get the get the gold and it was nice to me it is great to meet you yeah this is so fun and this is fun to. Read on the h.b.o.

Of dot com. Q. On c.b.c. Radio one in Canada and across North America on Sirius x.m. 169 n.p.r. My name is Tom. Do traditional t.v. Talk shows seem a little predictable by now the sleek couch the comfy chairs the host behind the big important open desk a big celebrity telling an enduring story. Or being forced to reach into a box blindfolded to play a terrifying game in front of the nation what if we just exchange all of that for a bunch of teens sitting in their bedrooms talking to cameras and string it all over the world if you're into the Raj twits that's exactly what you'll find a talk show but for the Internet you might be wondering what is the what prompted the teens to do this to put down the 10 o'clock she is a host a talk show her generation that doesn't really watch t.v. Is this the future of talk shows Al-Ameen has just heard commenting on sad Christmas songs is the social media editor at Buzz Feed he's here to tell you about the future of talk shows Hi Al-Ameen How you doing not too bad it's nice to see it you forgot about the branded mugs when it comes to t.v. Talk shows by the way yeah Elmina's currently holding on to the cute mug Yeah my favorite mug in the world did you get one to take home I sure did Ok good let's start at the beginning what is this show the rock show right it's a well it's a show that is broadcast on Twitter which is the streaming service and the way that it works is Raj The host it's kind of in the middle and. By that I mean his screens it's in the middle and then other people streaming from their own homes are sort of invited onto the screen as it's just to do comment on the lives of other twits streamers it's very insular It's very like exist within the sort of twit universe in this place we can stream video games resurrect not necessarily a place you'd expect to watch non video game content like a talk show exactly but if that but these shows are averaging you know an audience of about 20000 people yeah it is pretty great for for just a random little streaming show that you put together so this is kind of like a Jay Leno style show or this is kind of like The Bachelor What is this thing it's a little bit of all of those things so it sort of begins with here's a let me tell you a little bit more about Twitter's like twitch being this platform where you stream yourself talking or video games they decided that there's a good subsect of people who actually just want to use it to stream their daily lives to just chat about whatever like you would of course. Stream yourself talking about bluegrass presumably and then many people tens of people. Would do it and say hey I want to watch Tom talk about but bluegrass and the case of Raj he sort of tapped into this market of how people who use twitch want to talk about other people who use twitch and so it ends up being calm and a commentary on the very personal lives of who is sleeping with who who really beating who in terms of streams you know the kind of because these streamers I mean I know I watch a little bit of Twitter. These become celebrities in their own right there follow to do or you know so then what Raj does is like on top of inviting them to just chat with one another and he also invites them to do this kind of bachelor style show right we have a clip from the raw show take a listen. To the rush to Mr Assad of Syria. Today is the day that you find a woman of your dreams Ok the woman it always seems is out there she is waiting for you and she is in this room somewhere Ok all right Ok I cannot wait for you to maybe that is a clip from the the Raj. Sounds like a pretty disorganized version of The Bachelor but exactly what it but it makes me think about like you know when we were growing up there was this you know you could you could hope to become like Conan O'Brien or you know Jay Leno or you could try to be Deni petty or something like that right but but it seems like the this new generation talk shows is doing something completely different for a completely different audience right with the idea that the streamers would become sort of Microsoft pretty stupid right comes also the necessary extension that you might actually enjoy watching them kind of it is very informal and organize environment and he has a lot of fun with it but also when you would watch a traditional talk show say when you would watch David Letterman I'm running at a talk show host mention would you watch David Letterman you mentioned so many he'd be passive right you'd sit in your home and you'd watch the show yes if you're lucky enough to get a ticket you'd watch the show from the audience I know when I watched a streamers on Twitter or twitch dreamers I. You know you can often type along I don't but you can def and type along and you can like speak to the person who's streaming as they're streaming How does that fit into this idea of a new talk show so the Roger show uses that mechanism to end up like kicking people off the show or inviting new people on the show by having people who are commenting and follow along with the stream and sort of give their feedback and say no we don't want to hear any more from this person we want to hear more from this person and so it becomes kind of a new level of audience interactivity and it particularly works because there's such an investment in these characters right because if you are a part of this community already then you care about the stream is a lot you know a lot of their personal lives already because you watch them stream for so much and so you just lean into that and say hey I want more of this and less of this is this the future of talk shows and reality t.v. Or is this just you know further information that lets us know that media as a mass thing is becoming more and more relevant that just can be tiny little pockets of what we're going to why not both I mean there's a there's a there's a real but I just shrugged and just said Ok I give up with this Internet thing but truly I think it's a little bit of both in the sense that as audience is fragmented more and more you're going to have shows like this a target a more specific population so yeah it might average an audience of 20000 people it doesn't need to draw an audience larger than that. And that might be the future of our of how we consume ideas I talk to I mean I've been making money is this like is this can they can they can yeah maybe can they can run ads or they can run different sponsorship so there's no reason why they can't make you know if you tell me that I should start my bluegrass talk show I would join it. I know nothing about literature but the ideas would very quickly kick me off and like I don't know let's do it the tumble aggression I was here to teach If you're just tuning in my name is Tom Power you listening to Q l mean Abdel not Newt is here he stops by every couple weeks to talk about what's happening online and before we let you go there's something else you want to get your thoughts on. But 1st we have a clip Take a listen to this from the deepest reaches of space. Comes in it's true of. Who has captivated the hearts and minds humans. Without further ado please welcome. So on the topic of nontraditional media this what is that that is that is a clip from the little bugs show who is Little Bob I love time of the Internet cat was an Internet cat to me not like a cat like in the in the fifty's they would talk about a person who was going to run a cool cat like a literal feline a literal feline right. Was a cat that gained a lot of Internet fame in part because of her really unique appearance so she'd be her genetic makeup meant that her her her arms should have always expressed out and her eyes were bulging and her tongue was always out and she became she became a regular feature on Internet cat means so often times she would she would be the image that you would share when you're looking surprise or sad or upset about something a little bug is that sort of one of the Central Figures of cat Internet I guess and sort of like and I'll jokes aside sort of like another another bit of evidence that the Internet is weird that you can you can have a lot of like tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people tuning in like they used to tune in for like Jay Leno Petunia in for a cat Palace try 2000000 that was a following that little bug had a. Had a following of 2000000 people on history and that's people who are like yeah I'll follow Lubov like I follow my friends I want more and more updates about this cat's life so passed away yes this dispensed on this past Sunday obituaries for him ran on c.n.n. New York Times and Rolling Stone to name a few feels like this is feels like a bit of a moment was a moment I mean listen this year we lost grumpy cat earlier this year and. And I think that this is just a testament to the fact that if you follow Internet cats and they're a regular feature in your life and they are popping up regularly on years to get feed then they become kind of like characters that you become invested in like you know you've seen the video of a little back a little bub playing with and I don't know what and that becomes like something that you send your friends and it brings you joy and now you sort of look at it is a proper mourning that's why you know I would be very runs in place of the c n n the New York Times but yeah I mean important cultural figure even if I can hear your tweets at me right now yes but I kind of can cause of this when I wasn't playing and ask you know this but I want to ask you about this I feel that this entire time that we've been talking about and the changing of talk shows that you have twitch starting new talk shows that you have. That you have the you know little bug getting this big audience but then you have Lily saying who started on You Tube and going to a traditional talk show form and it was that the wrong way to go I don't know if it was the wrong way to go I think it's this is sort of a symbiotic relationship it's not like t.v. Unmask me are going away anytime soon we're just kind of figuring out our own different little niches on the Internet as well and like you can make a pretty decent living just existing off of those nations you can make a pretty decent living probably getting all the bluegrass people in one room and then talking bluegrass with them or whatever your niches but there's also still that interest in sort of consuming what the mass media is telling So you know there's no it's not a surprise that the top You Tube videos top You Tube clips every day are just like the talk show host from the from the night before right so it's not like we're completely abandoned one realm for the other the relationship kind of goes both ways I mean things are coming in My pleasure. As a social media editor at Buzz Feed He joined me live here in Toronto Ontario and he's planning on being the Ed McMahon and my future bluegrass round table show. Coming up next on the show if you start a Star Trek not not personally. Yeah me neither but you know once I started to get into the show and reading about it I learned about this person in d.c. Fontana and she created a lot of the storylines in the original Star Trek series she's an incredibly important figure in writing in television writing and she just passed we're going to rear my conversation with d.c.

My name is Tom power what you're hearing right now is the theme to the original Star Trek series. There's been a lot written and said about what made Star Trek work but the original stories might have been the real secret sauce on those early episodes the indelible characters they created the surprisingly progressive themes and the writer behind a lot of that died earlier this week at the age of 18 Her name is Dorothy Fontana but she's better known to legions of Trekkies and trackers as d.c. Fontana the byline and some of the show's most classic early episodes I had a chance to speak with her and another Star Trek writer David Gerrold 3 years ago as part of the show's 50th anniversary celebrations that conversation began with each of them talking about that music we just heard well it always brings back wonderful memories actually. It was written specifically for Star Trek obviously and the 1st time we heard it it was like Oh that's great and then you've got Bill Shatner's opening narration over the 1st notes and you have to say. This is going to be good David how about you that music always gets me and for me it evokes the charm and the sense of wonder of that 1st season when everything was brand new and we'd never seen any of it before it's just one of my favorite pieces of music for our audience who may not be familiar with your well they may be familiar with your work but they may not be as familiar with your story and let's give them some background David you were a fan of Star Trek before you wrote for the show is that right I was still in school still in college and I was a big fan of science fiction I'd been reading it since I was old enough to read and but I had been taking classes in screenwriting and playwriting and also other theater arts and so when I saw the 1st episode. I was ambitious enough to say I don't want them to screw it up by doing the last it's a sort of monster of a week and so I submitted an outline and the producer wonderful man named Gino Coon who doesn't get anywhere near enough credit is he deserves invited me down to the studio and he said we're all bought up for this season but please him get some outlines for 2nd season and I did and Dorothy Fontana read one of them and said this has them whimsy let's hire real right by the story and hire real writer Well the way it worked out was Gene gave me the chance to be that real writer Wow Dorothy you came at Star Trak Amy That's awful nice of you to give David his break by the way as kind of you know I do if you came in star trek from a completely different direction you did have a career before Star Trek Can you fill us in. Well I sold my 1st story to television in 1960 to a show I was working on at the time it was the Tall Man starring clue Gallagher and very solvent I was 21 years old and my boss Sam peoples had said to me if you write a good story I will buy it so I wrote one and he bought it and then I did another story and then I said I want to write a full script so he said Go for it I came in with another story and that's when I began my 1st story and teleplay and got that and I did another tall man so that was for tall man I did a rewrite on a shotgun Slade I did. A show called flatteries people which started on the air and then got cancelled and I also did the road west again starring Barry Sullivan all in between 196966 when we went into production on Star Trek but in 1963 I went to work at m.g.m. Studios in Culver City and I was working for Dell rise man who is the associate producer for Gene Roddenberry on the lieutenant which is where I met Gene Roddenberry and. After the lieutenant was canceled Roddenberry handed me about 12 pages and said Tell me what you think of this and it was Star Trek and I was very impressed I really liked about my 1st question was who play Spock and he shoved a picture of Leonard Nimoy across the desk at me because Leonard had done a guest star on the on the lieutenant and I said great because I had known him since 906 when he started the very 1st story I sold to televisions. It all comes around goes around it all comes around. And I stay with Roddenberry actually as he tried to sell Star Trek we finally got it sold made a pilot and 964 and then one in 5 and finally we got it on the air in 1966. You know a lot of Trekkies listening to this right now might know you as d.c. Fontana talk to me about why I chose to go by that name well the 1st 6 credits I had were Dorothy and then I began running into that oh I don't know if a woman could write my show it's about a high school what's your problem you know. So I just went with the d.c. Figuring well. They can't tell if I'm a man or woman if they haven't met me yet so. I sold under d.c. Funtown I sold k.c. I sold the script to Ben Casey series and that was the start of it I haven't changed it since except for one street in San Francisco where the producer wanted to show people that he did hire women so he said can you use your for your real name on one episode and I said Yes with just one and that was the only time and that was in the let's see. Early seventy's I want to play a little bit from the episode that you mentioned just a little while ago celebrating its 49th anniversary which is The Trouble With Tribbles Yes. On migraine. Card I am going to hold you responsible. Be thousands of them hundreds of. 1000000 771561. That's assuming one should hold applying with an average literate 10 producing a new generation every 12 hours over a period of 3 days assuming that they are 3 days ago and allowing. Consumed storage. There you go I'm Tom Power You're listening to Q I'm speaking with Dorothy fountain and David Gerrold 2 writers of the original Star Trek series David that's a clip from one of your most iconic episodes The Trouble With Tribbles for the uninitiated what the trouble. Trouble is a small furry creature I had originally thought of rabbits in Australia but we couldn't have real creatures and a young lady who I was hanging out with in the school named Holly Sherman had a key chain with a big fluff ball on it and I looked at it and said That's cute it'll work and. So that's how I described them and a remarkably talented prop man named watching arranged to have about $500.00 triples made in that clip you heard both William Shatner as Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock David when you were sitting down the late great William shall Are we just lost in this year he's marvelous man and you guys were sitting in that chair either writing on a typewriter or writing longhand I mean you know with computers back and what was it like I didn't read those 2 in mind for Shatner anymore. Well I had the advantage of being able to visit the set and watch them work so I would listen to how they spoke and so when I was at my typewriter I would kind of close my eyes and try to hear their voices in my head and because I had gotten such a strong sense of who the characters were and how they spoke it was. I could say no I can't type that Shatner wouldn't say it that way and I can't type that anymore I wouldn't say it that way so I had to listen to their voices and and write for the way they spoke and I think that's part of why the script succeeded was that I had spent so much time listening to how the actors worked with each other Dorothy how about you what's it like to write specifically for those 20 well I was involved with them on you know working with. Roddenberry on the 1st 2 pilots building the 2nd pilot of course but Leonard did both the 1st and 2nd pilots and I became used to how they both. I did their lines and in addition to usually making a run down to the stage once or twice a day to see that everything was Ok and reporting back later on I became the story editor so I was kind of responsible for seeing that other people also wrote the what are the way Leonard and Bill Shatner would deliver their lines sometimes they get way off they were you know other writers they were listening as David listened and you'd have to straighten out the dialogue a little bit to make it more Shatner more Nimoy. Gene Roddenberry created this show that I think now when you look back on it it's kind of ahead of its time when it came to diversity in terms of and any quality racially especially David did you get that sense at the time when you were writing for it Oh absolutely in fact I got a chill up my spine just watching the 1st episode of the man trap because the salt vampire creature could make other people see it as whatever it wanted them to see and so when Michelle Nichols Lieutenant Doris walking down the hall the salt vampire shows up as this very handsome black man and I got this chill up my spine recognizing Yes that's exactly right and so from the very 1st moment as aware of that that diversity aspect of Star Trek and it was one of the most exciting parts of the of meeting the characters on the show there are objections from some stations in the South when they saw a shell Nichols on the bridge in a fairly prominent role and they were refusing to carry the show and Gene Roddenberry said you know it's a swear words and too bad for you you lose and it turned out later on those stations did come to heel and did run the show but at 1st there were these objections because there was a proud moment on the bridge Dorothy you wrote the introduction to David's novel Blood in fire and you wrote that Star Trek quote expressed itself as episodes that dealt with bigotry and racism the Vietnam War The generation gap and slave meant other races fights for equality in many other issues of the time with hindsight how much of an effect on those issues do you think Star Trek had well our audience is very intelligent and I think we got the messages through. For instance the Vietnam War nobody else could write about that we did under cover of it being on an alien planets and it was you know over different things but it was really about the Vietnam War and we were also able to tackle issues like race and gender is a met all these other things that. A lot of other shows could not approach but we could under the guise of science fiction Star Trek is again experiencing a renaissance there are 3 new Star Trek films there's also a new streaming television series for c.b.s. Called Star Trek discovery David why do you think this show is resonating with audiences still after after 50 years well there's a lot of factors at work but I think basically and I said this like 4950 years ago is that it presents an optimistic view of the future and I've never had to change my mind on that it says whatever problems that we as a human race are experiencing we're going to outlive our problems we're going to solve them we're going to become better we're going to create a world that works for all of us with no one and nothing left out so that inspires people the idea that there is a bright optimistic hopeful future if we're willing to work for it and I think that particularly among young people the idea that life can get better that whatever problems are in front of us today are solvable I think that brings them to the show because they see here's a team of people and sambal working together for a common cause and I can't think of anything more inspiring than that Dorothy I want to close today's interview with a question for you if you were to write a new episode of Star Trek given in mind that you spoke about all those issues that you're able to pursue in your writing of that show what do you think you'd write about. That's not so much an issue out in the world so much I always wanted to do the story of Dr McCoy's daughter Joanna and. She would be a nurse she would be have graduated from medical school nursing school and she would be. You know now with the with the Federation going on these starships and she would meet her father whom she hasn't seen for quite a long time because he's been off in space for 5 year missions etc And there's a distance between them and yet they want to be father and daughter and how do they make that work. I've always been more interested in the personal stories and then put the science fiction and the issues around that so I would like to do Joanna and I've been threatening to write it as a novel for some time now. With Dorothy and David thank you both so much for talking to us today really appreciate it my conversation from 26 teamed with Star Trek writers d.c.

People have been injured and that the times I'm on the bridge and the surrounding area has been cordoned off an ambulance crews all that all security correspondent Gordon Corera is London Bridge I've just spoke to a witness who was in his office by the bridge and he said he saw the shots being fired against this individual multiple shots he says as the individual was lying down on the bridge he didn't see how it came to be fuel arrived at the bridge but he says he saw a group policeman that could be spent you can around the beach. They shot being fired and then later on people being forced out of the building may. Be to judge well Thomas Dunford was in the area at the time I saw the body truck from the bridge one guy was down in it. But my understanding of.

Welcome to the show as we round up the big stories of course we have the link we have the voices tonight the challenge finally voices they've all been disguised to a greater or lesser degree but they all come from the same area of this country. Phoning Rigo with me as usual your verdict on the week's action football fans all sorts of speculation going on as well we'll bring you the latest on the London Bridge incident very shortly that's been cordoned off the Met Police are expected to issue a statement very shortly they're saying a number of people have been stabbed and injured in the process this is just close to a London Bridge just before 2 o'clock and was shots fired but we'll get all the details from our reporter at the So you very shortly. After noon. Trying to. Place a bet dealing with a major incident bridge reports of gunshots being fired the foresight like a cold was stabbing a man has been to tell you let's go straight to the same. Is with us. What's happened to what we know so far here yes what we know is the Metropolitan Police say this incident happened at 158. They did involve a stopping they say a number of people have been injured we haven't had any more detail about that yet there was a b.b.c. Correspondent who was there at the scene he talked about there being a fight this is the B.B.C.'s John McManus I was walking from the south side of the bridge to the north side on the other side of the road to this which sometime just after 2 o'clock I could see what appeared to be a commotion somebody next to me said it looks like there's a fight going on there seems to be several men who were trying to hold somebody down it looked like a bit of a rugby scrum they suddenly jumped up started running away from our person and I know she said that armed police had suddenly arrived on the lobby side of the bridge all the traffic stop the place were all and there was shouting that the person on the ground and telling us to get off the bridge I'm not want to heard what sounded like Sioux shots fired in the direction of this person. There was also video footage which we've seen which also shows evidence of a fight and the police have confirmed one man has been shot now the police say at this stage the circumstances relating to the instant remain unclear however as a precaution they are currently responding to the incident as though it is terror related say counterterrorism police are leading this investigation the London ambulance service declared a major incident London Bridge as we know has been sealed off and on the Bridge station which is a major hub remains remains closed at this time we're expecting a statement from the Met Police very shortly but one of the eyewitnesses been telling you down there during Yes it was very extremely busy area London Bridge a lot of people work there many visit to go to a nearby bar or market so I witnesses there have been lots of them talking about their experiences Kirsten Jones was on her lunch break she says there was a lot of panic she heard $23.00 maybe 4 very loud gunshots and that's when she said the police really shouted screaming at people to get off the bridge and run another eyewitness know what boat who works in a restaurant nearby the rush of people coming in and then everybody basically on the table we were told the way from the window people came from the outside saying the shots were fired at that point honestly we didn't know what was really firing the video. We were been advised by the star the manager here Jordan who very seriously run and shut the doors and made sure everything is low and nobody could come in to move away from the front of the restaurant which is literally on the bridge to the back. And I witnesses in the video of also showing a jackknifed white van on the bridge on London Bridge which at one point was completely surrounded by offices Now the significance of that found and any party may have played in the incident is not yet clear we know man was shot by police and as you said this video footage of people wrestling with. On the ground so still down there very much an ongoing situation yes I mean we have you know all these things that we can see these days and you start to piece together the story but we have to wait to find out how events actually unfolded and reporters who were there say that since the initial incident there's still a lot of activity offices with dogs being deployed people searching the water the helicopter being used above interestingly Whitehall has said the police response to this incident was not intelligence led which means they were responding spontaneously to the events as they unfold it this afternoon so I think we can expect the area to remain cordoned off for the foreseeable future the Prime Minister Barak's Johnson has said that he is being kept updated on the instant he wanted to thank the police and the emergency services as did Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn he tweeted shocking reports from London Bridge My thoughts are with all those caught up in the incident join for the moment thank you for get more information of course an ongoing situation down there we will bring it to you. Joyce toying with Frank somebody who seemed to me rather 95.6. Been celebrating the council estate in Birmingham its 50th birthday foxy broadcasting his show from there just before this one it was one of the biggest post-war estates in Britain but pretty quickly fell into disrepair because of poor design and materials in the 99 Housing Action Trust was created to redevelop the entire estate here are some of the people we've heard from across this week on b.b.c. W.-m. . 34 time. To some. Futuristic place and what have I come to over the. 16 years was never anything done in the tower blocks the state was just generally looking round those in the pictures became dangerous areas that became Grail for mattresses and wardrobes in. And then you could smell the the outcome or you could see evidence of the drug abuse so the physical regeneration was looking. At a little more low rise lower density of units create more green space it was a building site the stuff going on or across the state breathy you could actually say because she'd seen all the plants she knew what was going to happen this time where you actually see a lot the interior of the might bedroom not because that took out the exterior walls it was a strong storm and that was the bit I think where it felt like there was that there was a little bit of history that was disappearing forever of it and when those kind and you can actually say where the hat many of the city don't the hats in the country since. And you don't know where the money's come you can actually say where the money's been invested members actually sign up it didn't feel a lot to us of our own and that wasn't that wasn't a negative why it wasn't necessarily wanted to go back to those kind of movie dies that people wanted it off but it just felt like we'd been tightened somewhere else being transported somewhere else in a really positive way just some of the voices we've heard from this week the castle estate 50 years old and it's gone through my IJA regeneration in recent times.

A male suspect was shot by Specialist dog officers from the city of London place and I can confirm that this suspect died of the same. A number of other people received injuries during this incident as soon as we can provide further updates on their condition we will and our heartfelt sympathies go out to everybody who's been involved in this and is actually waiting for the question as soon as we can get that information we will get it to you. As you would expect due to the nature of the incident we responded as though this was terrorist related I'm now in a position to confirm that it has been declared a terrorist incident we are working jointly with the City of London place. As we continue to respond. Officers from the Mets counterterrorism commander now leading this investigation but I must stress we retain an open mind as to any motive it would be inappropriate to speculate further at this time. Due to reports that the suspect may have have an explosive device specialist officers also attended the St and white cauldrons are in place to ensure there remains no further danger to the public however I can confirm at this time we believe that a device that was strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax explosive device. Officers continue to carry out meticulous searches in the area to ensure there is no outstanding threat to the public. Those expensive Pullman's will remain in place for a considerable time but I would ask the public police continue to avoid the area. Public safety is obviously our top priority we will be enhancing police patrols both in the city and across London I would ask anyone with information image or footage of the incident that can be shared with our investigation say to do so on the u.k. Police image appeal website. I would also ask the public to continue to remain vigilant and ripple any concerns that they have to the police. I know I would ordinarily take questions I'm not going to take questions at this time the prime minister's office person very probably heading with the permission of the meant to Downing Street pages thank you for your actions we will update you again when we can that's Neil Basseley assistant commissioner for the Metropolitan Police giving mislabelled a short while ago so they are treating the incidents as a terrorist related incident tonight. Joy's telling told Franks m b d c w n 95.6. We get more information of course we'll bring it to you on the show between now and 530 when the full voting turns up we have the voice it's 5 to identify. They've all been disguised slightly as usual at the only thing we could say about all 5 voices they're all from the same place in this country so that all born in the same area here is Voice number one tonight it's not the fact that I have our I don't know of it but I know it's there because the reason I know Bruce as our vow to show it so were the times pulled out a few tones. Voice has been slightly disguised but they're all from the same place he's a pretty prominent figure these days only it's not the fact that our i have our I don't have it but I know it's there because the reason I'm older it's as our vow to show it so when it times are pulled it out of your tone is a big man with a big personality so who are we talking about who is that identify that voice we could move on to voiced. A white one double double 956 choice to line up with Paul Frank somebody would seem to me rather 95 point c. B b c w Graham Young is with us Mr Movies Mr Chips looking at the latest films we'll talk about Blue story because you reviewed that last week Charlie's Angels and knives out of the other 2 big releases and you've obviously seen Blue story so it's going to be back at View cinema for this weekend what an interesting week Frank See you remember I was saying last week that films of this nature of find them a little bit too close to home a lot of baggage has been attached to this film on the in the wake of whatever happened at Star City on Saturday night and I think everybody needs to calm down it's fair enough for sick for security to be increased at various cinemas because after all multiplexes are trying to be all things toward people you have frozen in one screen with young kids and then clearly blue story's going to attract a completely different audience so it does shine a harsh light on what's going out there on the streets with guns and knives there's no easy answers but maybe this movie is a way of people being able to talk about a situation and move on from there and it's gonna do a lot of publicity this week and it is back on view at View and other sort of miles around the country as well and the West Midlands the 2 other big film releases this weekend Charlie's Angels are knives out so which of those you want to start with well. We'll start with Charlie's Angels Franks and no idea really why anybody thought it was a good idea to have another installment of this but it has a really good cast to Gazza Patrick Stewart who's playing a retiring senior constable of the l.a. Based Townsend agency and then you've got actresses of the caliber of Naomi Scott who was in Aladdin ellabella in Sco who's a very good as a 23 year old former m I 6 agent called Jane k. Know and Kristen Stewart as well it looks very good but every scene seems to last apart 3 seconds it's so much like one of these salami movies you know church which you barely have a chance to watch any scene before it's moved on the something else or the action sequences really get there or I find it rather violent to be honest for 12 I don't like women getting hits on the screen even if they're more than giving as good as they get to be honest in the end nearly 2 hours and just couldn't wait for it to finish could have been a lot better than yeah right Daniel Craig of course will be bombed early next year time he's starring in a film called knives out which is got about anybody that's anybody and see them are in the looks of it absolutely what a cussed Frank said Chris Evans freeing himself of the shackles of the Marvel movies Jamie Lee Curtis really top talent years I wish we could see a more but because of a plumber missing for a long time to collect Don Johnson Michael Shannon and Christopher Plummer who is amazing he's 90 on December 13th you know as a Canadian actor and whatever they were feeding him on as a kid I'd like a bit of that because he is absolutely on top of his game in this film how do you describe this film you say thriller or crime caper It's a whodunit isn't it for sure it's a close film mixed with Agatha Christie there recently where the horror film Ready or not switch was set in the house following a wedding where people were butchering each other and. This is a kind of not dissimilar premise set in one big house where everybody is trying to find out one earth is going on yeah but humor in a little bit of humor Frank so yeah and it is a 12 it's just a really good ensemble film and if you do enjoy the kind of whodunit or why don't it movie then you will get a lot of pleasure out of watching this Ok knives out the film of the week is knives out that's if you go into a cinema Franks but if you're not and you've got Netflix you're in for a treat because it's now they lable on Netflix the Irishman which has been shown in selected cinemas I know you've seen it hopefully it will be back at some point in time you need to see of experience ups absolutely want to cast Robert De Niro Joe Pesci Harvey Keitel or working for Martin Scorsese at the absolute top of his game the running time is an issue best part of 3 and a half hours so many different characters in there lots of humor flagged up as having been bumped off or will get bumped off and but and the way they've aged up and made made them younger the chronology isn't always consistent so the actors are going up and down in age but even so the just the way it's being filmed is brilliance and it ought to be one of the favorites for the best picture Oscar next year despite the fact and I think this is wrong we really had much chance of 1st much opportunity to see it in cinemas which is absolutely where it belongs you know where hopefully we'll get the opportunity on an ongoing basis. Because I'm not Netflix. Was showing at the every month just just up the road here from the sand is a shame that it kept clashing with your show it's out there and it's available and over the next couple weeks Star Wars films coming out so you'll be looking at that before Christmas.

And I will commuters on London northwest and west midlands railways being promised extra compensation now was because trains commercial director has admitted performance hasn't been as good as it should have been since May and all this coming as passengers are again being warned to expect limited rail services across the Us minutes tomorrow another 24 hour strike by members of the r.m.c. Union both sides in the dispute which centers on the future role of the guard say progress has been made but legal issues have prevented a final settlement being reached so far it's got away with France's Thomas for most minute strains Francis Eve already had to pay on the delay scape How much have you paid out on this so far while we since May we've paid out nearly 2 and a half 1000000 pounds and that running at 3 times the normal level for this time of the year but you know we've said regardless of that if they repay this timetable that we increased in May which we hold our hands up saying we're responsible for hasn't worked so we want to put something extra in the pot for our passengers who've had to put up with an acceptable levels of delays and cancellations since May so this is extra on top of the delay repaste games how much will they get well whatever we design and least we We've still to work on the detail of it but what we said is continue to claim your delay repay that will remain in place regardless what we'll be doing in the coming weeks is designing a screen that gives people extra content safe in recognizing the fact that the has been really a very poor performance on our network since May when we increased the timetable and of course in January the fares if you to go up or all the regulated fares that you took up in January and we think we we should be doing something in advance of that to say to people now we reckon. If you had a very bad 6 months or so and we once were fixing the problems we want to recognize the the post as you've had with some extra compensation so we designing that in the coming weeks how will people get it there are a number of ways we could do it so part of what we will be preparing in the coming weeks is looking at other schemes that other train operators it has put in place in the past to see what works best what sort of customer feedback they've had because . It's Ok for us to come up with a scheme but what's best for the customer so need to look at how the schemes of work before to make yours the right one to asses in the West Midlands I was mentioning a strike tomorrow again members they are into union going ahead tomorrow with that strike so more disruption that we were closer to a settlement an agreement only We've we've worked hard we kept talking both sides of been really good in keeping keeping the dialogue going we're making progress on forging not enough progress to council tomorrow strikes or tomorrow strike will go ahead now what we've seen over the previous 2 weekends is that certain depos more and more Drs are refusing to cross picket lines the drivers aren't on strike but obviously they have a right if they don't want to cross the picket line to turn away that has resulted in fewer trains running than we planned particular on the longest interest so I'd say if you're planning to travel from Birmingham down to Northampton down to Euston that's going to be the most difficult route to maintain services so as a check on the day of travel check before you set out on the priorities in terms of improving reliability what are you going to do then from as well in Alice as we've done says that that the biggest issue we have is that stretch of trunk between Coventry and Birmingham New Street where you've got so many trains from so many different train operators all arising and wanting to get that trains through in very short order so we're going to be retiming our trains and changing the calling patterns of our trains on what we call the Coventry caller door so the train to get through more easily We're also making show the at least one train an hour that goes on The Chase line doesn't come up from London because we get delays on the route on the line from Euston up to Milton Keynes which is the busiest wretched railway in Europe and then suddenly you find you get a hands on you being turned out of the trying can't go any further because of a single failure in training that's not acceptable it's not been working so we're going to change the pattern of trains so that least. One an hour from December originates in the West Midlands and the next May when we can make more changes we're going to make all the potential and services local services again Francis Thomas from was was trying to cross is good to talk to thanks I think now next Friday the managing director of what's been as trains Jan chadri Van de Velde I will be sitting in the hot seat with Danny Kelly taking your questions that's a week today b b c w m travel keeping the West Midlands moving more.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross after Donald Trump was elected but before he was inaugurated Buzz Feed published a leaked document that became known as the steel dossier a series of memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele suggesting Russia had been cultivating supporting and assisting Trump and that according to several sources Russia had compromising information that could be used to blackmail trump this dossier had been commissioned by fusion g.p.s. a Private research company providing research for law firms and corporations as well as opposition research for political candidates fusion was 1st hired to investigate Trump during the primary by the Republican news site The Washington Free Beacon after Trump won the primary the law firm representing Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee started funding fusions research into trump my guess are the founders of fusion g.p.s. Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch their former Wall Street Journal reporters some of the Russians who surfaced in the Trump investigation where people Simpson and Fitch had reported on at the Wall Street Journal while investigating Russian corruption and organized crime Simpson and Fitch have written a new book called crime in progress about their investigation into trump its impact and Republican attempts to discredit fusion g.p.s. And the steel dossier Glenn Simpson Peter French welcome to Fresh Air What were some of the findings in your report and in the steel dossier that you considered to be the most important early warnings of Donald Trump's ties to Russia. The truth is Chris steel came into this project about 9 months when we started looking at Donald Trump and his relationship to Russia as part of a much broader project which was looking at Donald Trump's business where. As has been reported we 1st started working for about. Wilkins about 9 months in we started working with Chris steel Now we saw a lot in the early going that caused us to have concerns about Donald Trump's relationship with Russia 1st we saw his relationship with Felix Satre Felix Ater is a Russian emigre to the u.s. Who was working with Donald Trump and importantly work with him in the f l group which developed among other properties the Trump Soho you know this is an individual who was went to prison for slicing someone's face open with a margarita glass who later then was convicted of stock fraud this is all in the ninety's so that caught our attention to see him with a business card occupying an office and Trump Tower and carrying a business card with Donald Trump's company name on it and then we found a number of properties inside Trump Tower itself that were occupied by convicted an alleged organized crime figures from Russia you know we also just saw a pattern of investments coming into Donald Trump's properties and to Don Trump personally the other sort of interesting data point in the early going was the transaction in Palm Beach involving a Russian oligarch by the name of Dmitri rubble of love and part of my pronunciation he is a poet hash magnate with the fertilizer sort of king of Russia he bought Donald Trump's mansion in the mid 2000 for about $95000000.00 when it was on the market for $45000000.00 That was a really suspicious transaction to us so anyway there's some some of that and just some of our research regarding his business led us to want to know more about Russia which is how we started working with Christopher Steele and what was Christopher Steele doing when you approached him and who tells how Christopher Steele has for people who don't know just Chris and I were introduced around 2010 and we met through some issue of friends who knew of our shared. Tristen Russian corruption and kleptocracy. Chris is a Russia specialist we are a real generalists fusion and so when this project began moving towards Russia and we began to feel like there were some really significant only answered questions about what he don't trump was doing in Russia and why he seemed to be involved with so many figures from the former Soviet Union and we began to work with the Democrats in the spring of 2016 we decided to ask Chris to help us out and to see if you could poke around in Russia in Moscow to try to get answers to some of those questions and he had worked for British intelligence at the Russian that. Was the the term that they use there is the lead Russian ist. He sensually ran the Russia desk at headquarters in London after having served previously in Moscow around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union he is a fluent Russian speaker and reader it's essentially his life's work so just to get straight how your work has been funded both by Republican interests and Democratic interests just briefly explain for us the source of your funding through this whole project that you've had investigating tramp Russia tax. In this late summer of 2015 I connected with a Republican political operative who I knew was going to probably be involved in the presidential campaign in the primaries and I asked him if he would be interested in research on Donald Trump and he said yes that eventually led to us being hired formally by a newspaper Russian called the Washington Free Beacon which is a conservative website. And so we worked for this conservative Web site doing this research for about 7 months. As the primaries wound down and it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee. They indicated to us that the project was coming to an end and we begin to think that given what we found out about Donald Trump and the concerns that it raised we should probably continue to do this work for the other side and so who hired you from the Democrats so we were hired eventually by Perkins kui a law firm and an attorney there named Mark Elias mark represents both the Democratic National Committee and Hillary the Hillary Clinton campaign at the time he is also in that law firm represents a lot of Democratic politicians so let's go back to your work with Christopher Steele the former British intelligence officer who was a Russia expert answers so he compiled a series of memos that came to be known as the steel dossier tell us some of the things in those memos you think have been most important in revealing information that was validated about Russia or Russia's connections to the. One think the single most important thing that comes out the dossier which is really in the 1st memo was that. The Kremlin was planning meant running an operation to elect Donald Trump the president States and it was a big operation that involves a lot of different aspects and it was very deliberately designed to elect Trump not just to sow discord in the Us political system although that was a secondary purpose that was really right on target it was an incredibly precious and observation that the us government did not reach until months later. And so much of the. Summer of 2016 we spent trying to stand up and raise concerns raised long arms with other people. It's been a lot of attacks against Chris's work for being unsubstantiated but it doesn't really. Get said enough that in this one central point he was dead right to use a metaphor Terry that are a colleague of ours like 60 years he predicted an attack on Pearl Harbor the Pearl Harbor attack happened in Rector's and then in hindsight a lot of people said well you got the number of zeros wrong you got the direction they were coming in from wrong therefore the document is somehow inherent now that docking was never met meant to be read as a dossier it was a series of contemporaneous intelligence reports right which collectively tell that important story there are other important aspects of these memos that have stood up quite well. They identified about a half dozen people associated with the Trump campaign or the president one way or another who later turned out to in fact be key figures in the surreptitious relationship between Donald Trump and the crim. What's one or 2 of the things in the dasi that proved not to be true. Well as of right now we don't have anything in the dossier that we think has been proven to be untrue various investigations have found that certain things couldn't be proven or disproven. The thing that people most often point to as supposedly disproven Is this a meeting between some trumped campaign officials and Russian spies in or around Prague in the late summer of 2016 that has repeatedly been denied but one of the people who issued the most was your 1st denials was the president's lawyer Michael Cohen who is currently serving time in prison and he was he sued us actually for libel and then shortly thereafter his office was raided by the f.b.i. It's it's important remember you said that he was one of the people at that meeting that's what the memo said that's what the memo said yes thank you right I was saying it's import remember that much of the evidence of these matters lies in a foreign country beyond the reach of u.s. Law enforcement and certainly the reach of Robert Mueller on the Michael Cohen Prague visit in particular what the report actually reports is that Michael Cohen himself claims to have not been there it has as Glenn said the matter just has not been settled if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. They're the authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dasi and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump We'll be right back this is Fresh Air. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some sun and Peter French co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And author of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. The most famous part or infamous part of the so-called steel dossier the series of memos that Christopher steel assembled for you investigating Russia's interference in our election on Donald Trump's ties to Russia. Was the so-called p tape and this is this is. The tape that several sources told Christopher exists there's no confirmation that this tape exists explain what the p. Tape is for somebody who hasn't been following it. Right so the beauty of as you put it is a recounting of source reporting from Moscow that alleges that Donald Trump in 2013 while he was attending to be Miss Universe pageant that he sponsored. In collaboration with a Russian oligarch. Was in his hotel suite in Moscow at the Ritz Carlton and a was sent to a pair of prostitutes who performed a year or nation show. On top of the bed in the presidential suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. In with the purpose being to defile the bed in which Barack and Michelle Obama slept in years earlier. Now Yes Q Since you mentioned several sources. We can't get into sources and methods as we know them but we have strong confidence in the reliability and the well placed or nature of these sources and there were Don't fewer than 7 for that particular anecdote. So obviously this is the most famous part of the so-called dossier and there was some internal debate. Christiane's firm and then subsume that are firm about for what to do about this in terms of the fact that it was. Going to going to distract people from some of the other information that was in the report. And in fact history of this is now shown that. Some of the denials that don't trump was made about this period. Were false. Firstly deny this initially he told James Comey that he didn't spend the night in my house in the hotel that night that turned out to not be true. So there was a conflict between both of you about whether to include the this allegation in your report or not I want you know that's yeah that's no Glen was alluding to there was a dispute I wouldn't call it as. There was a discussion inside or bas that Christopher Steele's firm with his partner who was also a fellow British intelligence officer a former British intelligence officer about whether to include that anecdote and not in the end Chris who is the Russian has thought it was very important to include. For the sake of verisimilitude in the reporting right he wanted to accurately reflect what sources were saying and he did not and he thought it was really important to note that the Russian government could have hard evidence of compromising on the presidential candidate and this is evidence that Christopher Steele feared could be used to basically blackmail Donna Graham correct and in our office we felt that this information wasn't all that significant and could only cause a lot of problems because. It wasn't really something I had much application to the presidential campaign these kinds of unconfirmable stories about someone's sexual past it just doesn't really have much application in a political context. So we were sort of stuck with this information when it became apparent that there was other things going on that involved a possible conspiracy against the United States. And we decided to turn this information over to the f.b.i. We felt that we did not want to manipulate Chris's reporting or edit it in any way because that would be a bigger problem so we just give my gave him everything and that's why he decided to that's why he decided to have the steel bassy be a separate document from you're fine with it yeah we thought you editing it it all like this this is what he found this is what he heard from sources and that will stand alone right it's important to point out that the decision to approach the f.b.i. Was Chris's. You know we just seeded we defer to him he is the intelligence perhaps discuss that decision because this is a real turning point in your investigation and in the hall larger Russia investigate right so when in early July Chris arranged to meet with a contact of his at the f.b.i. In Europe. Some someone he knew from previous work he asked us if that was a good idea and we didn't disagree it was it's important that. It's clear that this is Chris is decision as an intelligence professional so he had that meeting in July 5th of 2016 with the f.b.i. And read them in to some of the information he found in his 1st report so I'm not see the f.b.i. Was also independently investigating Russia's interference in the election and possible ties between Donald Trump and Russia. But Christer still yes go ahead well this is an amazing point in the story which is that we now know we've now pieced together. The beginnings of the f.b.i. Investigation juxtaposed against the beginnings of Chris's interactions with the Justice Department the f.b.i. And it turns out that it was almost simultaneous but the 1st information to get there was not our information it was the information about a low level campaign staffer bragging that the Russians that hacked the Democrats so who was that. So there was reporting that from Alexander Downer who's must really and diplomat in the u.k. Who had had a meeting with George Papadopoulos who was in the trunk campaign as a junior. Foreign policy aide. In which. George now that Apple has bragged about having Russian intelligence on dirt on Hillary Clinton Alexander Downer reported that to the u.s. Government which is where which is the foundation of the subsequent investigation called cross-fire again and this is how investigations begin is that. Both the Government of Australia and us. Reacted to the revelations that the Russians had hacked the d.n.c. And so essentially the f.b.i. Had information coming in from 2 different independent sources around the same time that corroborated each other to some extent in investigations that's actually how they get going is when information comes from more than one place ours came in slightly after the information from the stress you never intended the dossier to the public has as you said and you both didn't directly go to the f.b.i. That was Christopher Steele who did that but you did start approaching journalists why did you start approaching journalist What did you want to tell them did you want them to do with the information. Initially in the summer of 2016 we were concerned that certain people around the trunk campaign in the trunk campaign were questionable character Paul man a Ford was someone that we knew a lot about that we believe had probably violated various us laws and might be involved in corruption and money laundering so we talked to reporters about him in others such as quarter page who seem to be. Interacting with the Russians in a suspicious way on a trip to Russia so these are people that we talk to reporters about and we encourage them to look into a little bit more Same with Michael Flynn you know as it turned out all 3 people were people that needed to be asked to gated and 2 of them have now pled guilty to . So the initial conversations with reporters were about some of these characters in the truck campaign in the Trump Organization later with the movie became more concerned that there was a government Russian government attack on our country that was unprecedented in scale and scope we tried to raise awareness with national security reporters investigate reporters not so much to affect the outcome of the election and specifically not to affect the election but because we thought that this was something we needed to raise awareness about because it was a huge digital Pearl Harbor against your coach my guess are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders of fusion g.p.s.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross let's get back to my interview with Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders a fusion g.p.s. a Private research company which did opposition research on candidate Donald Trump and commissioned what became known as the steel dasi a which uncovered connections between Donald Trump and Russia and cited several sources that said Russia had a compromising video of Trump with prostitutes a golden showers video that could be used to blackmail him the Da Ca was written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was commissioned to do the research by fusion g.p.s. Simpson and Fritsch are both former Wall Street Journal reporters now they have a new book about their investigation into Trump and Russia called crime in progress they say their report and the steel dossier were never intended to be made public but the doxy I was leaked and published by Buzz Feed when Buzz Feed actually published the dossier you were furious and you were kind of afraid of what the consequences might be you had put Christopher Steele in front of journalists already. So why were you so upset when the dossier was actually published by bus fare well we didn't put Christopher Steele before journalists and on the record way he spoke on background as a former Western intelligence official that's the 1st point you know the 2nd point the publication. Which was of course not our decision and by any way shape or form could have compromised sources and methods of them under redacted document. Chris did not have any kind of warning to prepare for its release and it was hugely dangerous in our view to his his source network this is becoming more common knowledge now in the wake of the 2016 election that Russia the Russian intelligent . Services have a overseas assassination program but it's well known to us in particular Chris that this is just that this is known to the intelligence services for a long time we've we've seen now that they actually are willing to use chemical weapons against people in the United Kingdom. Refresh their memory about when Buzz Feed published this deal dossier. But if you publish the dossier on. January 10th 2017. So it was after the election it could no longer affect the outcome of the election that's correct but it was before the inauguration so. What we say in the book is that the person who has now admitted to leaking that CIA was apparently trying to do was to thwart the swearing in of Trump and. He believed that if this information got out it might lead to. Somehow to Trump's inaugural being put off the old the ultimate hell mary pass and ill advised who was the leaker. So there was a John McCain a person who was close to John McCain by the name of David Kramer who's a former worked in the State Department for human rights for many years and is a valued Russia hawk he. Became aware of the document via Christopher city on his network and his his former colleagues and then my 6 they met with. Senator McCain at the Halifax Forum which is an international forum not unlike the Aspen Institute for him they decided that they needed to pursue this David Kramer flew to London met with Christopher Steele who showed him the dossier Mr Chris Chris was was wary of good. In the document to David Crane were to carry on an airplane so he asked us to hand it to him which Glen did. Are you for the express sorry for the express purpose of handing the document to John McCain for the purpose of approaching James Comey about it so the purpose was to get the document to McCain and then to the f.b.i. Not to link it to the press that's right so has this aide admitted that he was the one who leaked it or or it's just yes if. So there was a Russian cyber mogul who sued Buzz Feed for libel and David was required to testify and he. The ultimate Lee acknowledged that it was he who provided the document to both of you and other people do you find it ironic that it was an aide of John McCain's who made the Da ca public in the hopes of preventing Donald Trump from actually getting in order a bit and it's Lindsey Graham one of the Cain's closest friends who has been one of the leaders trying to question the mother report trying to question the research that you did and supporting Donald Trump I think it's ironic I think it's hypocritical and I think it's depressing that a lot of people who know better are now standing up for don't trump So yes I think you know what the Republicans paid for the 1st half of our investigation and now they're claiming it was all a Democratic hoax that doesn't make sense well let's just stop right there because the Republicans who paid for the 1st part of your investigation were people who were opposing trial Trump they were Republicans but they wanted another Republican to win the primary not trump right so this is my point which is that all. A lot of Republicans who said the triumph would be a disaster for the Republican Party and the nation are now defending Donald Trump it's a supporter member that Lindsey Graham as John McCain and others have recounted. Agreed with John McCain's decision to approach James Cami this coming of this document Fast forward to the moment in January there's no camera News in March where we're Lindsey Graham along with Senator Charles Grassley make a criminal referral to the f.b.i. Under the dark ballpark Department of Justice for Christopher Steele it's an outrage. So let's talk about what's been happening more recently and that's the impeachment inquiry Republicans cited your report 32 times in the impeachment inquiry. They were saying you colluded with the Russians why don't you describe what you heard Republicans say about you during the impeachment inquiry the Republicans cranked up their fog machine as they've been doing since the dossier came out to deflect attention away from the real issue here which is the extent to which Donald Trump was in a relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia they have used lies and deflection to attack the messengers and again not transact the facts which is of course what they're doing to the whistleblower and to any other good people who try and call the president to account it's a fairly full construction of an alternate reality that is channeled through various propaganda mechanisms including Fox News. And it's it's not meant to be taken as true by anyone other than the minority of people who still support Donald Trump. As we have. Been saying in recent days. When they accuse us of cooking up. A hoax to entrap and damage Donald Trump in some kind of secret operation with the Ukrainian Teligent services they're not confused they're deliberately lying it's just that it's just a made up story designed to confuse the public Rudolph Giuliani has gone so far as to accuse Glenn of going to Ukraine and 2016 and working with the crane eons to cook up the dossier that is just a lie well when you actually ran into Rudy Giuliani on a plane recently and told him You've never been in Ukraine. That's correct I've never been to Ukraine I've never been to Russia. We're getting very tired of sort of the more dramatic deliberate lies about us so we've decided to begin to correct the record Rudy Giuliani also claims that we set up the infamous meeting between the Trump campaign and the Russians in June of 2016 it's well established from multiple investigations that Rudy Giuliani is well aware of that we had nothing to do a setting that meeting that meeting was set up by Donald Trump Jr and Russia Ok let's take a short break here and when we come back we'll talk about how fusion g.p.s. Was criticized during the impeachment inquiry by Republicans so if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter French co-founders a fusion g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress inside the steel da ca and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump will be right back this is Fresh Air. Support for n.p.r.

And Catherine t. MacArthur Foundation recognizing exceptionally creative individuals this year's MacArthur Fellows and more information are at mac found dot org. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch they're the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dot ca and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. So you started off as a journalist I mean you were journalist for years and then when you were both based in Brussels Glenn you're an investigative reporter still and Peter you were his editor there to have that right that's right yeah so you were investigative judge you were journalist like for years for the Wall Street Journal and then you just cited 2 for this business fusion g.p.s. Basically do investigative research for hire. And I want you to talk a little bit about the different standards being a journalist versus being research for hire and your clients have included not only like you know Republicans and Democrats but also you know large corporations legal firms so. Talk about the differences in the way the way you went about your work but also in the standards that you would use for. You know the ethical standards. The business is designed to use journalistic methods. And so it's essentially in terms of standards very similar newspapers. Talk to people in this group or talk to people they don't always know whether those people are telling the truth or whether they're accurate they report what people say frequently what people say turns out to be wrong but it's still in the newspaper so we do very similar stuff at Fusion. Can we describe some of what you've been doing as opposition research. We do very little political research actually I did but it's even opposition research for the corporate clients that you have isn't that well I wouldn't call it opposition research it's more a understanding a and information sat right so there are a lot of complicated disputes in the context of lost you know lawsuits obviously but also influence networks right there's a lot of people who want to understand why there are issues you know moving a certain way through Washington or through the courts what we try and do is use public records to map and explain those relationships that really is the core of what we do and does it matter who your client is like if your client is a corporate client and you actually suspect that they were in the wrong would you still represent them. It really would depend on the context in a litigation context you're generally work for a law firm and so it's not really possible to prejudge a situation between who's right who's wrong that's the purpose of the lawsuit and also to go back to another thing that we do. Is decision support so we help people to manage information and to parse information and make decisions about what to do with it so sometimes that is corporate strategy sometimes it's whether to file a lawsuit or not to follow us who would settle there's a lot of. Decisionmaking you know relies on quality information I mean there's there's one example which you know we talk about in the book which maybe is useful here we talk about very briefly our work for Theron knows the blood testing company run by Elizabeth Holmes which turned out to be a massive fraud what we were actually doing for their nose was looking at on behalf of the law firm we were looking at the their competitors question lab court the doowop believe in lab test and if you're a doctor orders a lab test you go into one of those labs and we were analyzing the key to him whistleblower suits against that against those firms and trying to understand what their business model was you know as a journalist you're committed to just like finding the facts reporting what you found and not being concerned with you know taking sides in fact you're not supposed to take sides. But you know when you're you know critical of your reporting for you know like the Wall Street Journal The Washington Post The New York Times it's about you know being fair and being neutral in finding the facts but when your reporting. Is paid for by a particular side Republican or Democrat or when your reporting is paid for by a particular legal group or by a company. It's about getting information for that side so it was a difficult transition for you to make and you feel like you're no longer you know just on the side of. Fact finding and truth when when when you're doing that when you have an interested party paying for information. Glenn will have a view on this too but quite the opposite I mean I think we are we place and as high a premium as we have or did on facts you know in the context of working for law firms or major companies you know you can't you can't report anything but facts and sometimes you don't need just 2 sources to get your and anonymous sources you need paper and you need documents not documentary evidence and that's not changing our lives at all. There's a misapprehension about what we do we're not a p.r. Firm we don't sell spin our clients what reliable information that is the business that we're in so it really has a lot of similarities to journalism it is not. A cooked outcome that we don't sell that if you saw one of our reports you would mistake it for an academic paper. Have you ever turned down a client. Yes we have we've turned down 25 The irony of the Russia affair is that it is a part of the world where we generally don't do a lot of work. Numers clients from the former Soviet Union have approached us that we have turned away we actually forced clients to obsessive net to our methodology which is you know if you have a preconceived outcome in mind and you're looking for specifically a media outcome where the wrong people you know of obviously our peer group is our journalist we have a lot of friends in that business but if you don't want to get to the bottom. Of you know a fact that we're the wrong people for you. Is there any information you can share with us about what you're finding about foreign interference in the next presidential election foreign interference in our elections actually has a fairly long history it's just not something that a lot of people know much about or focused on. In 2016 we believe at least 3 countries interfered in the election Turkey was one Israel was one Russia was one. It's possible there were others we expect that in 2020 Wolf see that at least 3 or 4. Countries or messaging over social media and using other methods to try to influence the outcome before I wrap up I'd like to ask is there information that you found while you were researching. Trump campaign ties to Russia and Russia's interference in our election that you don't think enough attention has been paid to you. Yes One of things that we came across ourselves that didn't really involve Chris Steel was the Russian infiltration of the National Rifle Association which was something that I brought to the attention of the Justice Department and then later raised in my congressional testimony. And that has turned out to be a big issue although it's still not fully investigated eventually criminal charges were brought against a young Russian woman who came to the United States and be friended top officials at the n.r.a. The n.r.a. Area but not right back and so there's a larger problem here that the Russians Sapir to have infiltrated some of the affiliated Republican and conservative groups in the n.r.a. Is the clearest example of that we think that there is a much broader effort. Brush and to infiltrate and influence conservative organizations the other thing that I think still is left outstanding that we spent some time talking about in the book is the extent to which Donald Trump's overseas ventures have been have not been parsed probably other by Robert Muller or anyone else we've done our best to map some of the Russian influence and money coursing through projects in Panama as are based on Toronto etc you know someone needs to actually think about compromise in that current financial compromise and we spent some time talking about that in the book. I want to thank both of you for talking with us Glenn Simpson Peter French Thank you so much thank you Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch are the founders a fusion g.p.s.

This is Fresh Air although best known for directing Star Wars the last jet I the writer director Ryan Johnson has long been a fan of murder mysteries his 2005 debut brick was a film set in a contemporary American high school his new movie knives out is an Agatha Christie style murder mystery with an ensemble that includes Daniel Craig Christopher Plummer Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis film critic Justin Chang has this review as someone who's devoured more than his fair share of Agatha Christie I have long been saddened by Hollywood's general neglect of the classical detective story the kind of clever parlor trick entertainment where a murder is committed in a remote country house and suspicion falls on a closed circle of suspects every so often a director will put his unique spin on the genre as Robert Altman did with Gosford Park and Quentin Tarantino did with the hateful 8 Kenneth Branagh is presently directing and starring in a new wave of Hecuba Paro adaptations though his middling take on murder on the Orient Express didn't leave me wondering who done it so much as why bother. But no filmmaker has done more to revive the spirit of the form or made it seem more rife with possibilities than Ryan Johnson has with knives out this deliriously entertaining comic thriller brings together an all star cast and ingeniously plotted crime story whose every twist catches you by surprise but it also does something more it takes a genre often dismissed as creaky or cosy and uses it to say something powerful and urgent about contemporary class inequality and the moral rot at the heart of this large and obscenely wealthy family Christopher Plummer plays Harlan thrum be a bestselling mystery novelist who is already dead at the start someone slit his throat in the middle of the night and was almost certainly a member of his family all of whom were staying at his ramshackle Victorian house for his 85th birthday party Johnson delights in playing out the usual whodunit conventions whether he's drawing out the piercing scream of the housekeeper who discovers Harlan's body or lining up the suspects as they're interviewed by 2 police detectives played by Le Keith Stanfield and Noah Segan but things really start cooking when a southern accent to Daniel Craig shows up as been. A famous private detective who is conducting his own investigation into Harlan's death in one scene Harlan's daughter Linda a splendidly biting Jamie Lee Curtis tries to find out who hired blog and why Mr Blank I know who you are I read your profile in The New Yorker I found it delightful I just buried my 85 year old father who committed suicide why are you here. I hear the has to reply and. Who. I cannot but let me assure you that my presence will be automatic you will find me a respectful. As. Well of the truth nearly everyone in the family was financially dependent on Harlan and as the actors play them there in amusingly loathsome scheming bunch Linda has a philandering husband played by an oily Dawn Johnson and a black sheep son ransom played by a cocky Chris Evans Ransom had a combative but genuinely close relationship with his late grandfather which is more than can be said for the other members of the family they include Michael Shannon as Walt who ran his father Harlan's publishing firm and Toni Collette as Harlan's widow daughter in law Joanie a social media influencer with a group inspired lifestyle brand but the most memorable character by far and the one who emerges as the trooper tag unmissed is Marta Cabrera Harlan's personal nurse superbly played by the Cuban actress are Miss Martha appears to have been Harlan's only true friend she's far more heartbroken over his death than any of his relatives who keep telling her they see her as part of the family even though none of them can remember exactly which Latin American country she immigrated from blank immediately sees her as a potential ally and in lists her help in solving the mystery sensing that she knows more about Harlan and his family secrets then she may be letting on. The steady stream of laughs and wink wink genre references and knives out might make it seem at 1st like an arch post-modern send up but the movie is too well constructed too full of clever red herrings and breathtaking surprises to be reduced to a mere spoof this isn't the 1st time Ryan Johnson has shown off his flair for intricate plotting as he did in his time travel thriller looper and in Star Wars the last. That blockbuster was attacked by some fans for among other things it's racially diverse casting you can't help but wonder if those bigoted reactions. To center his new movie around a working class Spanish speaking immigrant whose competence and decency utterly shamed the wealthy white family that employs her the pleasures of knives out are both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly subversive even after the murderer's identity has been revealed it builds to what may be the single most satisfying closing shot I've seen this year I won't say more but it's a killer.

In his issued a nationwide poll Marion junction today barring the trumpet ministration from requiring immigrants to show proof of how thin surance the Oregon Public Broadcasting's card read Wilson explains the injunction is effective immediately u.s. District Court Judge Michael Simon says requiring immigrants to show proof of health insurance before getting a visa is inconsistent with laws passed by Congress according to the proclamation issued last month by President Trump visa seekers must have insurance or prove that they can pay for medical costs the judge says it's up to Congress not the president to decide that policy question adding quote The proclamation was not issued under any properly delegated authority words for the Justice Department disagreed The administration argued the health insurance requirement is necessary to protect the interests of u.s.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross after Donald Trump was elected but before he was inaugurated Buzz Feed published a leaked document that became known as the steel dossier a series of memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele suggesting Russia had been cultivating supporting and assisting Trump and that according to several sources Russia had compromising information that could be used to blackmail trump this dossier had been commissioned by fusion g.p.s. a Private research company providing research for law firms and corporations as well as opposition research for political candidates fusion was 1st hired to investigate Trump during the primary by the Republican news site The Washington Free Beacon after Trump won the primary the law firm representing Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee started funding fusions research into trump my guest are the founders of fusing g.p.s. Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch their former Wall Street Journal reporters some of the Russians who surfaced in the Trump investigation where people Simpson and Fitch had reported on at the Wall Street Journal while investigating Russian corruption an organized crime Simpson and Fitch have written a new book called crime in progress about their investigation into trump its impact and Republican attempts to discredit fusion g.p.s. And the steel dossier. Welcome to Fresh Air What were some of the findings in your report and in the steel dossier that you considered to be the most important early warnings of Donald Trump's ties to Russia. The truth is Chris steel came into this project about 9 months when we started looking at Donald Trump and his relationship to Russia as part of a much broader project which was looking at Donald Trump's business career. As has been reported we 1st started working for about. Wilkins about 9 months in we started working with Chris Steele now we saw a lot in the early going that caused us to have concerns about Donald Trump's relationship with Russia 1st we saw his relationship with Felix Satre Felix atr is a Russian emigre to the u.s. Who was working with Donald Trump and importantly work with him in the f l group which developed among other properties the Trump Soho you know this is an individual who was went to prison for slicing someone's face open with a margarita glass who they then was convicted of stock fraud this is all in the ninety's so that caught our attention to see him with a business card occupying an office and Trump Tower and carrying a business card with Donald Trump's company name on it and then we found a number of properties inside Trump Tower itself that were occupied by convicted and alleged organized crime figures from Russia you know we also just saw a pattern of investments coming into Donald Trump's properties and to Donald Trump personally the other sort of interesting data point in the early going was the transaction in Palm Beach involving a Russian oligarch by the name of Dmitri rubble of love and part of my pronunciation he is a poet hash magnate with the fertilizer sort of king of Russia he bought Daal trumps mansion in the mid 2000 for about $95000000.00 when it was on the market for $45000000.00 That was a really suspicious transaction to us so anyway there's some some of that and just the some of our research regarding his business led us to want to know more about Russia which is how we started working with Christopher Steele and what was Christopher Steele doing when you approached him and who tells how Christopher still is for people who don't just Chris and I were introduced around 2010. We met through some mutual friends who knew of our shared. Krysten Russian corruption and kleptocracy. Chris is a Russia specialist we are real generalists fusion and so when this project began moving towards Russia and we began to feel like there were some really significant unanswered questions about what he don't trump was doing in Russia and why he seemed to be involved with so many figures from the former Soviet Union and we began to work with the Democrats in the spring of 2016 we decided to. Ask Chris to help us out and to see if we could poke around in Russia in Moscow to try to get answers to some of those questions and he had worked for British intelligence at the Russian gas so of course was the term that they use there is the lead Russian ist. He sensually ran the Russia desk at headquarters in London after having served previously in Moscow around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union he is a fluent Russian speaker and reader it's essentially his life's work so just to get straight how your work has been funded both by Republican interests and Democratic interests just briefly explain for us the source of your funding through this whole project that you've had investigating tramp Russia tax. In this late summer of 2015 I connected with a Republican political operative who I knew was going to probably be involved in the presidential campaign in the primaries and I asked him if he would be interested in research on Donald Trump and he said yes that eventually led to us being hired formally by a newspaper Russian called the Washington Free Beacon which is a conservative website. And so we worked for this conservative Web site doing this research for about 7 months as the primaries went down and it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee. They indicated to us that the project was coming to an end and we began to think that given what we found out about Donald Trump in the concerns that are it we should probably continue to do this work for the other side and so who hired you from the Democrats so we were hired eventually by Perkins Cooley a law firm and an attorney there named Mark Elias Mark who represents both the Democratic National Committee and Hillary the Hillary Clinton campaign at the time he is also in that that law firm represents a lot of Democratic politicians so let's go back to your work with Christopher Steele the former British intelligence officer who was a Russia expert answers so he could compile the series of memos that came to be known as the steel dossier tell us some of the things in those memos that you think have been most important in revealing information that was validated about Russia or Russia's connections to. Was think the single most important thing that comes those dossier which is really in the 1st memo was that. The Kremlin was. Planning and meant running an operation to elect Donald Trump the president States and it was a big operation that involved a lot of different aspects and was very deliberately designed to elect Trump not just to sow discord in the Us political system although that was a secondary purpose that was really right on target it was an incredibly precious and observation that the u.s. Government did not reach until months later and so much of the the summer of the 2016 we spent trying to stand that up and raise concerns raised alarms with other people who. Spent a lot of attacks against Christians work for being unsubstantiated but it doesn't really. Get said enough that in this one central point he was dead right to use a metaphor Terry that are a colleague of ours likes to yours he predicted an attack on Pearl Harbor the Pearl Harbor attack happened in Rector's and then in hindsight a lot of people said well you got the number of zeros wrong you got the direction they were coming in from wrong therefore the document is somehow impugned now that documents never met meant to be read as a dossier it was a series of contemporaneous intelligence reports right which collectively tell that important story there are other important aspects of these memos that have stood up quite well. They identify about a half dozen people associated with the Trump campaign or the president one way or another who later turned out to in fact be key figures in the service relationship between Donald Trump and the crim. What's one or 2 of the things in that dasi that proved not to be true. Well as of right now we don't have anything in the dossier that we think has been proven to be untrue various investigations have found that certain things couldn't be proven or disproven. The thing that people most often point to as supposedly disproven Is this a meeting between some trumped campaign officials and Russian spies in or around Prague in the late summer of 2016 that has repeatedly been denied but one of the people who issued the most research 1st denials was the president's lawyer Michael Cohen who is currently serving time in prison. He was he sued us actually for libel and then shortly thereafter his office was raided by the f.b.i. It's it's important to remember you had said that he was one of the people at that meeting that's what the memo said that's what the memo said yes thank you right I was saying from its import remember that much of the evidence of these matters lies in a foreign country beyond the reach of u.s. Law enforcement and certainly the reach of Robert Mueller on the Michael Cohen Prague visit in particular what the Mall report actually reports is that Michael Cohen himself claims to have not been there it has as Glenn said the matter just has not been settled if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. They're the authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump We'll be right back this is Fresh Air did you know you can donate your car to Connecticut probably radio bill get a tax deduction and the satisfaction of value support great local news.

Connecticut Public Radio presents an evening with David Sedaris the 8th at the Shubert Theatre featuring all new stories and observations plus an audience q. And a and book signing tickets and information that she brought about com. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some sun and Peter French co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And author of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. The most famous part or infamous part of the so-called steel dossier the series of memos that Christopher Seale steel assembled for you investigating Russia's interference in our election and Donald Trump's ties to Russia. Was the so-called p. Tape and this is this is the tape that several sources told Christopher steel exists there's no confirmation that this tape exists explain what the p. Tape is for somebody who hasn't been following it. Right so the beauty of as you put it is a recounting of source reporting from Moscow that alleges that Donald Trump and 2013 while he was attending the Miss Universe pageant that he sponsored. In collaboration with a Russian oligarch. Was in his hotel suite in Moscow at the Ritz Carlton. And a was sent to a pair of prostitutes who performed a year a nation show. On top of the bed in the presidential suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. In it with the purpose being to defile the bed in which Barack and Michelle Obama slept in years earlier. Now yes even mentioned several sources. We can't get into sources and methods as we know them but we have strong confidence in the reliability and the well placed sort of nature of these sources and there were done fewer than 7 for that particular anecdote. So obviously this is the most famous part of the so-called dossier and has some internal debate. Christiane's firman and such with our firm about for what to do about those terms of the fact that it was. Going to going to distract people from some of the other information that was in the report. In fact the history of this is now shown that. Some of the denials that don't trump was made about this period. Were false. That for seriously deny this initially he told James Comey that he didn't spend the night in moss in the hotel that night that turned out to not be true. So there was a conflict between both of you about whether to include the this allegation in your report or not and I want you know that's yeah that's no Glen was alluding to there was a dispute I wouldn't call it a dispute there was a discussion inside or bas that Christopher Steele's firm with his partner who is also a fellow British intelligence officer a former British intelligence officer about whether to include that anecdote or not in the end Chris who is the Russian is thought it was very important to include. For the sake of verisimilitude in the reporting right he wanted to accurately reflect what sources were saying and he did not and he thought it was really important to note that the Russian government could have hard evidence of its compromise on the presidential candidates this is evidence that Christopher Steele feared could be used to basically blackmail Donna Graham correct and in our office we felt that this information wasn't all that significant and could only cause a lot of problems because. It wasn't really something I had much application to the presidential campaign these kinds of unconfirmable stories about someone's sexual past it just doesn't really have much application in a political context. So we were sort of stuck with this information when it. Became apparent that there was other things going on that involved a possible conspiracy against the United States. And we decided to turn this information over to the f.b.i. We felt that we did not want to manipulate Chris's reporting or edit it in any way because that would be a bigger problem so we just give my gave him everything and that's what he decided to that's why he decided to have the steel dossier be a separate document from your findings with that yeah we thought you editing it all like this this was what he found this is what he heard from sources. And that will stand alone right it's important to point out that the decision to approach the f.b.i. Was Chris's you know we have ceded we defer to him he is the intelligence perhaps discuss that decision because this is a real turning point in your investigation and the whole larger Russia investigate right so when in early July Chris arranged to meet with a contact of his at the f.b.i. In Europe. Something someone he knew from previous work he asked us if that was a good idea and we didn't disagree it was it's important that. It's clear that this is Chris's decision as an intelligence professional so he had that meeting in July 5th of 2016 with be f.b.i. And read them in to some of the information he'd found in his 1st report so I'm going out to see the f.b.i. I was also independently and Vesta gating Russia's interference in the election and possible ties between Donald Trump and Russia. But Christopher Steele Yes go ahead well this is an amazing point in the story which is that we now know we've now pieced together. The beginnings of the f.b.i. Investigation juxtaposed against the beginnings of Chris's interactions with the Justice Department the f.b.i. And it turns out that it was almost simultaneous but the 1st information to get there was not our information it was the information about a low level truck campaign staffer bragging that the Russians had hacked the Democrats So who who was that. So there was reporting that from Alexander Downer who's must really and diplomat in the u.k. Who had had a meeting with George Papadopoulos who was in the trunk campaign as a junior. Foreign policy aide. In which. George that Apple has bragged about having Russian intelligence on dirt on Hillary Clinton Alexander Downer reported that to the u.s. Government which is where which is the foundation of the subsequent investigation called cross-fire and this is how investigations begin is that. Both the Government of Australia and us. Reacted to the revelations that the Russians had hacked the d.n.c. And so essentially the f.b.i. Had information coming in from 2 different independent sources around the same time . That corroborated each other to some extent in investigations that's actually how they get going is when information comes from more than one place ours came in slightly after the information from the stress you never intended the. Public has as you said and you both didn't directly go to the f.b.i. That was Christopher Steele who did that but you did start approaching journalists why did you start approaching journalist What did you want to tell them did you want them to do with the information. Initially in the summer of 2016 we were concerned that certain people around the trunk campaign in the trunk campaign were questionable character Paul man a fort was someone that we knew a lot about that we believe had probably violated various us laws and might be involved in corruption and money laundering so we talked to reporters about him in others such as Carter page who seem to be. In there interacting with the Russians in a suspicious way on a trip to Russia so these are people that we talk to reporters around me encourage them to look into a little bit more Same with Michael Flynn. Now as it turned out all 3 people were people that needed to be asked to gated and 2 of them have now pled guilty to crimes so the initial conversations with reporters were about some of these characters in the trunk campaign and the Trump Organization later in the movie became more concerned that there was a government Russian government attack on our country that was unprecedented in scale and scope we tried to raise awareness with national security reporters and investigative reporters not so much to affect the outcome of the election fact specifically not to affect the election but because we thought that this was something we needed to raise awareness about because it was a huge digital Pearl Harbor against her country.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross let's get back to my interview with Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders of fusion g.p.s. a Private research company which did opposition research on candidate Donald Trump and commissioned what became known as the steel dossier which uncovered connections between Donald Trump and Russia and cited several sources that said Russia had a compromising video of Trump with prostitutes a golden showers video that could be used to blackmail him the way was written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was commissioned to do the research by fusion g.p.s. Simpson and Fritsch are both former Wall Street Journal reporters now they have a new book about their investigation into Trump and Russia called crime in progress they say their report and the steel dossier were never intended to be made public but the Da was leaked and published by Buzz Feed when Buzz Feed actually published the dossier you were furious and you were kind of afraid of what the consequences might be you had put Christopher Steele in front of journalists already. So why were you so upset when the DAs he was actually published us free Well we didn't put Christopher Steele before journalists and on the record way he spoke on background as a former Western intelligence official that's the 1st point you know the 2nd point the publication. Which was of course not our decision and by any way shape or form could have compromised sources and methods of them on redacted document. Chris did not have any kind of warning to prepare for its release and it was hugely dangerous in our view to his his source network this is become more common knowledge now in the wake of the 2016 election that Russia the Russian intelligence services have a overseas assassination program but it's well known to us in particular Chris that this is just so this is known to the intelligence services for a long time we've we've seen now that they actually are willing to use chemical weapons against people in the United Kingdom. Refresh their memory about when Buzz Feed published this deal dossier. But if you publish the dossier on. Me January 10th 2017. So it was after the election it could no longer affect the outcome of the election that's correct but it was before the inauguration so. What we say in the book is that the person who has now admitted to leaking the CIA was apparently trying to do was to thwart the swearing in of Trump. He believed that if this information got out it might lead to. Somehow to Trump's inaugural being put off the old the ultimate hell mary pass and ill advised who were the leaker. So there was a John McCain a person who was close to John McCain by the name of David Kramer who's a former worked in the State Department for human rights for many years and is a valued Russia hawk he. Became aware of the document via Christopher Steele on his network and his his former colleagues and then my 6 they met with. Senator McCain at the Halifax Forum which is an international forum not unlike the Aspen Institute for him they decided that they needed to pursue this David Kramer flew to London met with Christopher Steele who showed him the dossier Mr Chris Chris was was wary of giving the document to David Kramer to carry on an airplane so he asked us to hand it to him which Glen did. Are you for the express but sorry for the express purpose of handing the document to John McCain for the purpose of approaching James Comey about it so the purpose was to get the document to McCain and then to the f.b.i. Not to link it to the press that's right so has this aide admitted that he was the one who leaked it or earth. Yes. So there was a Russian cyber mogul who sued Buzz Feed for libel and David was required to testify. And he. Ultimately acknowledged that it was he who provided the document to both of you and other people do you find it ironic that it was an aide of John McCain's who made the Dostie a public and in the hopes of preventing Donald Trump from actually getting annoyed to read it and it's Lindsey Graham one of Cain's closest friends who has been one of the leaders trying to question the mother report trying to question the research that you did and supporting Donald Trump I think it's ironic it's hypocritical and I think it's depressing that a lot of people who know better or now standing up for don't trump So yes I think you know what the Republicans paid for the 1st half of our investigation another claiming it was all democratic hoax it doesn't make sense what Ray let's just stop right there because the Republicans who paid for the 1st part of your investigation were people who were opposing trial Trump they were Republicans but they wanted another Republican to win the primary not trump right so this is my point which is that a lot of Republicans who said that Trump would be a disaster for the Republican Party and the nation are now defending Donald Trump it's a supporter member that Lindsey Graham as John McCain and others have recounted. Agreed with John McCain's decision to approach James comedy the coming of this document Fast forward to the moment in January 1st he's now Carol it is a March where where Lindsey Graham along with Senator Charles Grassley make a criminal referral to the f.b.i. Under the dark ballpark Department of Justice for Christopher Steele it's an outrage So let's talk about what's been happening more recently and that's the impeachment inquiry Republicans cited your report $32.00 times in the impeachment inquiry. They were saying you colluded with Russians why don't you describe. What you heard Republicans say about you during the impeachment inquiry the Republicans cranked up their fog machine as they've been doing since the dossier came out to deflect attention away from the real issue here which is the extent to which Donald Trump was in a relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia they have used lies and deflection to attack the messengers and again not transact the facts which is of course what they're doing to the whistleblower and to any other good people who try and. Called the president to account it's a fairly artful construction of an alternate reality that is channeled through various propaganda mechanisms including Fox News. And it's it's not meant to be taken as true by anyone other than the minority of people who still support Donald Trump. As we have been saying in recent days. When they accuse us of cooking up. A hoax to entrap and damage Donald Trump in some kind of secret operation with the Ukrainian Teligent services they're not confused they're deliberately lying it's just that it's just a made up story designed to confuse the public Giuliani has gone so far as to accuse Glenn of going to Ukraine and 2016 and working with the craniums to cook up the dossier that is just a lie well that Glenn you actually ran into Rudy Giuliani on a plane recently and told him You've never been in Ukraine. That's correct I've never been to Ukraine I've never been to Russia. We're getting very tired of sort of the more dramatic deliberate lies about us so we've decided to begin to correct the record Rudy Giuliani also claims that we set up the infamous meeting between the Trump campaign and the Russians in June of 2016 it's well established from multiple investigations that Rudy Giuliani is well aware of that we had nothing to do a setting that meeting that meeting was set up by Donald Trump Jr and Russia Ok let's take a short break here and when we come back we'll talk about how fusion g.p.s. Was criticized during the impeachment inquiry by Republican. So if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson co-founders of fusion g.p.s.

This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch they're the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dot ca and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. So you started off as a journalist I mean you were journalist for years and then when you were both based and Brussels Glenn you're an investigative reporter still and Peter you were his editor there to have that right that's right yeah so you were investigative judge you were journalist like for years for the Wall Street Journal and then you just cited 2 for this business fusion g.p.s. And basically do investigative research for hire. And I want you to talk a little bit about the different standards being a journalist versus being research for hire and your clients have included not only like you know Republicans and Democrats but also you know large corporations legal firms so. Talk about the differences in the way the way you went about your work but also in the standards that you would use for. You know the ethical standards. The business is designed to use journalistic methods. And so it's essentially in terms of standards very similar newspapers. Talk to people Mr Bush talk to people they don't always know whether those people are telling the truth or whether they're accurate they report what people say frequently what people say turns out to be wrong but it's still in the newspaper so we do very similar stuff at Fusion. Can we describe some of what you've been doing as opposition research. We do very little political research actually but it's even opposition research for the corporate clients that you have isn't that well I wouldn't call it opposition research it's more a understanding a and information sat right so there are a lot of complicated disputes in the context of lost you know lawsuits obviously but also influence networks right there's a lot of people who want to understand why there are issues you know moving a certain way through Washington or through the courts what we try and do is use public records to map and explain those relationships that really is the core of what we do and does it matter who your client has like if your client is a corporate client and you actually suspect that they were in the wrong would you still represent them. It really would depend on the context in a litigation context you're generally work for a law firm so it's not really possible to prejudge situation between who's right who's wrong that's the purpose of the lawsuit and also go back to another thing that we do. Is decision support so we help people to manage information and to parse information and to make decisions about what to do with it so sometimes that is corporate strategy sometimes it's whether to file a lawsuit or not to follow us who would settle there's a lot of decision making you know relies on quality information I mean there's there's one example which you know we talk about in the book which maybe is useful here we talk about. Very briefly our work for fairness the blood testing company run by Elizabeth Holmes which turned out to be a massive fraud what we're actually doing for it there are notes was looking at on behalf of a law firm we were looking at the their competitors question a lot of court the doowop believe in lab test and if you doctor orders a lab test you go into one of those labs and we were analyzing the key to whistleblower suits against those firms and trying to understand what their business model was you know as a journalist you're committed to just like finding the facts reporting what you found and not being concerned with you know taking sides in fact you're not supposed to take sides. But you know when you're in you know critical of your reporting for you know like the Wall Street Journal The Washington Post The New York Times it's about you know being fair and being neutral in finding the facts but when you're reporting. Is paid for by a particular side Republican or Democrat or when your reporting is paid for by a particular legal group or by a company it's about getting information for that side so it was a difficult transition for you to make and you feel like. You're no longer you know just on the side of. Fact finding and truth when when when you're doing that when you have an interested party paying for information. Glenn will have a view on this too but quite the opposite I mean I think we are we place in as high a premium as we ever did on facts you know in the context of working for law firms or major companies you know you can't you can't report anything but facts and sometimes you don't need just 2 sources to get or and anonymous sources you need paper and you need documents not documentary evidence and that's not changing our lives at all. There's a misapprehension about what we do we're not a p.r. Firm we don't sell spin our clients what reliable information that is the business that we're in so it really has a lot of similarities to journalism it's not. Cooked outcome that we don't sell that if you saw one of our reports you would mistake it for an academic paper. Have you ever turned down a client. Yes we have we've turned down many fine the irony of the Russia affair is that it is a part of the world where we generally don't do a lot of work. Numers clients from the former Soviet Union and have approached us that we have turned away we actually forced clients to absurd net to our methodology which areas you know if you have a preconceived outcome in mind and you're looking for specifically a media outcome where the wrong people you know of obviously the our peer group is our journalist we have a lot of friends in that business but if you don't want to get to the bottom of you know the facts that were the wrong people for you. Is there any information you can share with us about what you're finding about farm. An interference in the next presidential election foreign interference in our elections actually has a fairly long history it's just not something that a lot of people know much about or focused on. In 2016 we believe at least 3 countries interfered in the election Turkey was one Israel was one Russia was one. It's possible there were others we expect that in 2020 Wolf see that at least 3 or 4. Countries are messaging over social media and using other methods to try to influence the outcome before I wrap up I'd like to ask is there information that you found while you were researching. Campaign ties to Russia and Russia's interference in our election that you don't think enough attention has been paid to. Yes one of the things that we came across ourselves that didn't really involve Chris Steele was the Russian infiltration of the National Rifle Association which was something that I brought to the attention of the Justice Department and then later raised in my congressional testimony. And that has turned out to be a big issue although it's still not fully investigated eventually criminal charges were brought against a young Russian woman who came to states and be friended top officials at the n.r.a. The n.r.a. Area Butin rights and so there's a larger problem here that the Russians Sapir to have infiltrated some of the affiliated Republican and conservative groups in the n.r.a. Is the clearest example of that we think that there is a much broader effort by the Russians to infiltrate and influence conservative organizations the other thing that I think still is left out stay. Any that you spend some time talking about in the book is the extent to which Donald Trump's overseas ventures have been. Have not been parsed privately either by Robert Muller or anyone else we've done our best to map some of the Russian influence and money coursing through projects in Panama as are Beijing Toronto etc you know someone needs to actually think about compromise and that current financial compromise and we spent some time talking about that in the book. I want to thank both of you for talking with us Glen some son Peter French Thank you so much thank you Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch are the founders a fusion g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress after we take a short break just in Chang will review the new film knives out I'm Terry Gross and this is Fresh Air We all view love through the prism of our own experiences right we're humans but how much control do we actually have falling into and out of love we are playing with one of the most powerful brain systems that every vote I mean this is a survival mechanism and I'm not surprised that people suffer ideas around love that's next time the Ted Radio Hour from n.p.r. . Listen tonight a lot of. Playing on. Your new one I'm almost 5 yaks in Haiti. 101. 20 my just wow that was from the hedgehog years by Lilly Ackerman. On playing on in great American short claims with great American actress was in Friday afternoon it was. This is Fresh Air although best known for directing Star Wars the last Jetta the writer director Ryan Johnson has long been a fan of murder mysteries his 2005 debut brick was a film set in a contemporary American high school his new movie knives out is an Agatha Christie style murder mystery with an ensemble that includes Daniel Craig Christopher Plummer Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis film critic Justin Chang has this review as someone who's devoured more than his fair share of Agatha Christie I have long been saddened by Hollywood's general neglect of the classical detective story the kind of clever parlor trick entertainment where a murder is committed in a remote country house and suspicion falls on a closed circle of suspects every so often a director will put his unique spin on the genre as Robert Altman did with Gosford Park and Quentin Tarantino did with the hateful 8 Kenneth Branagh is presently directing and starring in a new wave of Hercule Poirot adaptations though his middling take on murder on the Orient Express didn't leave me wondering who done it so much as why bother but no filmmaker has done more to revive the spirit of the form or made it seem more rife with possibilities than Ryan Johnson has with knives out this deliriously entertaining comic thriller brings together an all star cast and an ingeniously plotted crime story whose every twist catches you by surprise but it also does something more it takes a genre often dismissed as creaky or cozy and uses that to say something powerful and urgent about contemporary class inequality and the moral rot at the heart of this large and obscenely wealthy family Christopher Plummer place Harlan thrum be a bestselling mystery novelist who is already dead at the start someone slit his throat in the middle of the night and was almost certainly a member of his family all of whom were staying at his ramshackle Victorian house for his aid. The 5th birthday party Johnson delights in playing out the usual whodunit conventions whether he's drawing out the piercing scream of the housekeeper who discovers Harlan's body or lining up the suspects as they're interviewed by 2 police detectives played by Le Keith Stanfield and Noah Segan but things really start cooking when a southern accent to Daniel Craig shows up as Ben walk along a famous private detective who is conducting his own investigation into Harlan's death in one scene Harlan's daughter Linda a splendidly biting Jamie Lee Curtis tries to find out who hired law and why Mr Blank I know who you are I read your profile in The New Yorker I found it delightful I just buried my 85 year old father who committed suicide why are you here. Here at the behest of a client who. I cannot but let me assure you that my presence will be automatic you will find me a respectful quiet as. Of the truth nearly everyone in the family was financially dependent on Harlan and as the actors play them there in amusingly loathsome scheming bunch Linda has a philandering husband played by an oily Dawn Johnson and a black sheep son ransom played by a cocky Chris Evans Ransom had a combative but genuinely close relationship with his late grandfather which is more than can be said for the other members of the family they include Michael Shannon as Walt who ran his father Harlan's publishing firm and Toni Collette as Harlan's widow daughter in law Joanie a social media influencer with a group inspired lifestyle brand. But the most memorable character by far and the one who emerges as the trooper tagging missed is Marta Cabrera Harlan's personal nurse superbly played by the Cuban actress that are most Martha appears to have been Harlan's only true friend she's far more heartbroken over his death than any of his relatives who keep telling her they see her as part of the family even though none of them can remember exactly which Latin American country she immigrated from blank immediately sees her as a potential ally and enlists her help in solving the mystery sensing that she knows more about Harlan and his family secrets than she may be letting on. The steady stream of laughs and a wink wink or references and knives out might make it seem at 1st like an arch post-modern send up but the movie is too well constructed too full of clever red herrings and breathtaking surprises to be reduced to a mere spoof this isn't the 1st time Ryan Johnson has shown off his flair for intricate plotting as he did in his time travel thriller looper and in Star Wars the last jet I that Blockbuster was attacked by some fans for among other things it's racially diverse casting you can't help but wonder if those bigoted reactions stung Johnson into centering his new movie around a working class Spanish speaking immigrant whose competence and decency utterly shamed the wealthy white family that employs her the pleasures of nights out are both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly subversive even after the murderer's identity has been revealed it builds to what may be the single most satisfying closing shot I've seen this year I won't say more but it's a killer.

So let me go. To the. Music because faults b.b.c. Radio will do another one similar. When only by fall. Was about incident I wasn't all cinema far in the say 9 scene 8 so. Apparently Jon Bon Jovi to unlock it much of. Def to. Do is go it's. Now one of the been talking about well interesting revelations this afternoon. I asked Is it just me. Even when I just think about a jelly baby all Judge Paul. Allen already said I get that rush of something beyond me jogging in the squeaks and it's to mulch. Now I would suggest that most of the gentleman who have gone so chav tried to imply that I'm quite quite busy and this is something that does not happen to them. Whereas I have had a number of Lebanese. Come on and suggest that it is called Your age is laughing your ears a laughing and I am as we converse creme eggs as well. So yes still very very happy happy to happy happy I can't so it's because I'm thinking about it stop thinking about jelly babies until Kuhlman. If it does happen see you. If you get that rushes something quite crazy at the Bucky mouth and you almost can't bear it. And maybe call it something as well maybe there's a another term for it like your is a Lafayette. Oh ya cheeks. Is very well considered such about the irony thing else on the show you can always give is about. 389 double 3 double 3 you can text as a trouble 3 message or the word lays all you can drop is a little to eat at b.b.c. It's always very very nice to hear from you talking about Christmas telly next. Few hours. B.b.c. Radio. Well good afternoon welcome to the show this is tea time on b.b.c. Radio Leeds Well now the b.b.c. Has revealed its Christmas t.v. Offering all excited it is promising a bumper box of yuletide treats which will delight in and chance already and says I think it might be fair to say that over recent years there's been a little bit of criticism about too many repeats in films over the festive period so what is there in the way of specials and favorites let's ask the t.v. Critic am a bully more however Hello. This is this is great this is what it's all about Christmas all about what's on the telly of course of course it's not. A survey Oh yes. Yes Yes I mean I think I'll say is that whatever they could they could have the best line up as ever been seen by anyone and of the front page of the top was will be too many repeat the not so the Christmas present to themselves but I think there's lots of good stuff to look forward to this year I mean obviously kicking off a govern and Stacy how exciting is it to have that back and everyone know he's seen it and you know journalists usually grumpy and difficult plays they all love it so you know I'm telling you is good it's up to scratch that's exciting you know your favorites that you usually see like Call the Midwife Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special Dr Who Paul O'Grady all of that love that and but also I'm excited about the new version of a Christmas carol love a bit of Dickens at Christmas anyway and this is got amazing cast Stephen Graham there Tom Hardy Andy Serkis proper a listers are in it so it's going to be great and then did the bring about was Will Gummidge whether anyone wants him to or not but it's happening and Mackenzie Crook is going to be him I think that will be really interesting casting again a burning car the Pemberton So we want to make a Michael Bay lead so there's some real stars coming up Christmas and over on t.v. Over on t.v. Lots of entertainment specials so you've got Robbie Williams doing. Big Christmas show Michael Ball and Alfie about together is great I'm excited Well gosh you sound excited couple of things I I saw all the Dr Who I didn't think they were going to do a Christmas special this year I thought they were leaving it until like maybe maybe early next year just to launch the launch of the new Sammy's but now he is nothing and they've brought about the Dr Who Christmas special Oh yeah that's it they go b.b.c. Announces Christmas t.v. Highlights from Doughty Dracula so is that I don't know whether it be New Year they haven't actually locked down the schedules yet is going to be on all 5 you know fair enough and let's we'll revisit one of those was a legal marriage now as a child not only was the show salute Lisa fascinating in the The music was really interesting and it was it was also quite terrifying I mean why why why why if they decided to remain that of all the random things in the 10 I don't know I have seen the picture of Mackenzie Crook as was ill and it's a little bit disturbing if I'm honest but Mackenzie Crook of the fantastic track record of picking excellent projects and it is a track to this amazing cast if it's good enough Mike pilot is usually good enough May so I assume that it will be quite good but I mean it's kind of difficult to explain to people now Oh yeah sure about Scarecrow's massive. But it was so obviously they're trying to rekindle that magic Yeah yeah I mean and when will I know we're talking about all the all the special save and some of them do sound great I mean like I said Gavin and Stacey very very much anticipated there's been lots of pictures in the newspapers today. About that and the like it's a lovely special that when you find out about any Christmas films does not come much much lighter because that I mean we saw a pope who did a little bit but I mean that is a thing at Christmas isn't it it is and so is so is repeat some local ones as well you know those things that people complain about well the schedules are looked at this kind of a big announcement of the new things that coming up once the schedules a lot then the magazines will be out so so early December you can yes. You know for sure which films are going to be on they will have saved a few sort of network premieres and all that kind of stuff as a special treat for Christmas but I think that with films for some people that is a massive part Christmas for the people that buy all of that of course on t.v. They don't worry about it I think it's quite divisive thing but I know for somebody with a massive part of their of their celebrations dare I suggest and I am aware that I do actually work for the b.b.c. Although I do not have anything to do with t.v. Making Massa just for a moment that the b.b.c. Looks like they're put in their efforts into dramas and specials of you know in a in a big sort of a way where he seems to be doing sort of Dancing On Ice Paul O'Grady for the love of dog sort of do you know what I mean they seem to be going more more reality around the mall fantasize. Yeah I mean I won't have a word said against Paul O'Grady but. Yes I mean I think that's fair to say that this year particularly you know b.b.c. Is all about the big dramas and the big kind of escapism and I t.v. I mean I think it's just about knowing what they do best right if you think about the last couple of years where of the best most of the best dramas been probably b.b.c. Where where has some of the specials been that's usually classic t.v. Territory so it's just you know Christmas is time for them to try and do what they do best obviously the soaps will be out in force as well as in Korea be throwing everything they've got Christmas so if you're into those happy things to look forward to there as well and Emma we saw with your your t.v. Guide's of Charice and will you circle the things that you're definitely going to watch is that is that what t.v. Critic deals that are now well I write for one of them so by the time that the shelves I will be sick of it.

She discuss. The causes of the bob. Well it's always nice to. Be brilliant I'm going to. Bounce a long. Run them television. On the well because. That possible to connect it to the t.v. Show we did the day before. Yes today we did Ski Sunday it's a day as has been suggested by Y'all keep rich so there is a connection between yesterday's show and today's show if you can work it out that's brilliant today well I'm in the main I'm just after the t.v. Show so let's see how you get on with this I think it's a tiny tiny play it so often yellow Giles' because we go in a. Fancy little gas get a little ring oh I don't dread 389-3628 when trouble 3 is not a message with the word laid so you can see it is that b.b.c. Would you like it will melt some time go on. The lot so the answer on the way a new You've got you've got a least 12 minutes I would say I saw the Richard stead breakfast show as I dashed off to the to the local fish and chip shop and it was 12 quid so I gave the fella behind the counter 22 quid and he gave me 8 back Bill Press and came here to be 27 when he said I thought that was from a week from 6 am yes so no Sara to playing in fish and chip shops saying well yes so not releasing a link to it. Appears to be a fish and chip shops to say a Monday to Richard said breakfast show if you're in a cold yeah you feel older around inside you want to be someone who takes a few to treat the fish you see if you bought in some sage d.v.c. Radio. Good afternoon a welcome to the show welcome States on the b.b.c. Right now about this all time of a Choose day where lots catch up with our good friend Emma Ryan at the Evening Post just to see what she's been working on more than anything so let's do that right now Hello Emma Hi Gail how's you busy is that yes yes I was I was away last week so I missed you guys but not that fast look lovely So have you bought lovely to have you about we'll delve into the Pampa and see what you've been on with. This just breaks my heart 1st of all schemes to feed children during the school holidays need to continue to avoid children return in school in September having lost way through lack of nutrition what when did this come from them all so it's about it's over the last few years we've been doing stories about food banks and policy and the pressure on food banks he's increased during the summer holidays because of a certain amount of children are entitled to Breakfast Club meals free school meals when there are. Obviously the parents have to pay extra So maybe fickle to $3.00 kids you know for 6 weeks you know that's several meals a day that's a lot more pressure on that budget. So this is come for me in the council of health and a lot of it is looking at. You know it's the schemes where where children are said to in school term time if there isn't something that they can do through the school holidays and to make sure that children have got a good proper meal I think it's an issue that maybe they're not eating as much when there was that young school so and obviously and eat well proven that the children have proper breakfast that they're equipped for learning in school so I think there's this. Sort of recognition and I with the children of going back to school that lost weight less nutrition obviously that impacts on their learning and in turn in the schools performance as well so I think there's an all around interest to make sure that there's somethin you know catered for in school holidays and I think I've been saying this for quite a while I mean there's just a case of why what will what will actually happen I know there are a number of schemes that already got one particularly in Louise but I guess it's a it's a case of a case of we will say is it because it's a little way off now until next til next year yeah I mean we're going to be looking at something in the next few weeks in the route to Christmas about the increased pressure on food banks and feeding a family of Christmas it all ties in so whether it's something that bit of a Christmas holiday that there are no but. I guess like most things it's an issue of funding and whether particularly from to do that. And moving on to your next story lays mostly at the fronts of environmental revolution this is a calling to a citizens' jury wasa citizens jury and when is this happened and. This is something that's been held in the last few days as well and obviously there's a lot more awareness of climate change global warming the effects on the on the planet leads we know which way to go clean air so if it's a panel of of all sorts of walks of life looking at ways that we can so try and slow down the climate. I says that being called and taking buses back into public ownership is one of them bringing the houses up to equal standards and scrapping plans to expand leads for us today part 3 of the suggestions that were put forward to try and reduce the effect on the climate and they would visit 21 strong tunnel I think is so obviously people have different views what comes of that if anything I don't know we will we will see who's listening and what will happen next as well then I'm fine with an awesome sign something wonderful something fast and communities coming together our service and soul is the unique Christmas spirit of all live well are they doing this. This is great if ever you need to get in some help to get into the festive spirit just watch this video the only community been doing this for the last few years so this year they've got 23 you clearly play is a ballroom dance is one per go is a Morris men and women 2 coffee shops and customers 6 Cub Scouts 5 walkers 6 butchers one Baker a florist a godsend to lots of ties mints and park so many sparks a lifetime quite to scientists and some extras and that is the culture you just look at her that's really think you should go I know I. Said I can't believe it's not full I know but. This is the 3rd year that it made a Christmas film this year it's called a we go for you know and we got 40 not like. The film sort of takes the was around Dolly around the committee groups to the businesses and just to get into the festive spirit and see all these various different businesses and groups are doing to get into the festive spirit so if you struggle to I defy anybody to what you said not feel a little bit Christmas after they've been in a car or a counselor well and more if people want to pick up the paper I would always urged them to do so if however they would like to follow some of your antics online why should they do. And generally our lot suffix a Web site through Facebook fiasco and Facebook are not for Iran you know 70 plus page and the links to the stories there are so I can run a website which is if you do the interview don't you know me post what are you perfectly well lovely as ever the fabulous and the raw and from the.

This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross after Donald Trump was elected but before he was inaugurated Buzz Feed published a leaked document that became known as the steel dossier a series of memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele suggesting Russia had been cultivating supporting and assisting Trump and that according to several sources Russia had compromising information that could be used to blackmail trump this dossier had been commissioned by fusion g.p.s. a Private research company providing research for law firms and corporations as well as opposition research for political candidates fusion was 1st hired to investigate Trump during the primary by the Republican news site The Washington Free Beacon after Trump won the primary the law firm representing Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee started funding fusions research into trump my guess are the founders of fusion g.p.s. When Simpson and Peter Fritsch their former Wall Street Journal reporters some of the Russians who surfaced in the Trump investigation are people Simpson and Fitch had reported on at the Wall Street Journal while investigating Russian corruption and organized crime Simpson and Fitch have written a new book called crime in progress about their investigation into trump its impact and Republican attempts to discredit fusion g.p.s. And the steel dossier. Welcome to Fresh Air What were some of the findings in your report and in the steel dossier that you considered to be the most important early warnings of Donald Trump's ties to Russia. The truth. Came into this project about 9 months when we started looking at Donald Trump and his relationship to Russia as part of a much broader project which was looking at Donald Trump's business career. As has been reported we 1st started working for about. Wilkins about 9 months in we started working with Chris Steele now we saw a lot in the early going that caused us to have concerns about down trance relationship with Russia 1st we saw his relationship with Felix Satre Felix Ater is a Russian emigre to the u.s. Who was working with Donald Trump and importantly work with him in the f l group which developed among other properties the Trump Soho you know this is an individual who was went to prison for slicing someone's face open with a margarita glass who later then was convicted of stock fraud this is all in the ninety's so that caught our attention to see him with a business card occupy an office and Trump Tower and carrying a business card with Donald Trump company name on it then we found a number of properties inside Trump Tower itself that were occupied by convicted an alleged organized crime figures from Russia you know we also just saw a pattern of investments coming into Donald Trump's properties and to Don Trump personally the other sort of interesting data point in the early going was the transaction in Palm Beach involving a Russian oligarch by the name of Dmitri rebel of love and part of my pronunciation he is a poet hash magnate fertilizer sort of king of Russia he bought down trumps mansion in the mid 2000 for about 95 $1000000.00 when it was on the market for $45000000.00 That was a really suspicious transaction to us so anyway there's some some of that and just the some of our research regarding his business led us to want to know more about Russia which is how we started working with Christopher Steele and what was Christopher Steele doing when you approached him and who tells how Christopher Steele is for people who don't just so Chris and I were introduced around 2010 and we met through some usual friends who knew of our shared. Kristen Russian corruption and kleptocracy. Chris is a Russia specialist we are real generalists fusion and so when this project began moving towards Russia and we began to feel like there were some really significant only answered questions about what he don't trump was doing in Russia and why he seemed to be involved with so many figures from the former Soviet Union and we began to work with the Democrats in the spring of 2016 we decided to ask Chris to help us out and see if you could poke around in Russia in Moscow to try to get answers to some of those questions and he had worked for British intelligence at the Russian task so of course was the the term that these there is the lead Russian ist he sensually ran the Russia desk at headquarters in London after having served previously in Moscow around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union he is a fluent Russian speaker and reader it's essentially his life's work so just to get straight how your work has been funded both by Republican interests and democratic interest just briefly explain for us the source of your funding through this whole project that you've had investigating from precious time. In this late summer of 2015 I connected with a Republican political operative who I knew was going to probably be involved in the presidential campaign in the primaries and I asked him if he would be interested in research on Donald Trump and he said yes that eventually led to us being hired formally by a newspaper Russian called the Washington Free Beacon which is a conservative website and so we worked for this conservative website doing this research for about 7 months. As the primaries wound down and it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to be the nominee. They indicated to us that the project was coming to an end and we begin to think that given what we found out about Donald Trump and the concerns that are raised we should probably continue to do this work for the other side and so who hired you from the Democrats so we were hired eventually by Perkins kui a law firm and an attorney there named Mark Elias mark represents both the Democratic National Committee and Hillary the Hillary Clinton campaign at the time he is also in that law firm represents a lot of Democratic. Politicians So let's go back to your work with Christopher Steele the former British intelligence officer who was a Russia expert answers so he could compile the series of memos they came to be known as the steel dasi Hey tell us some of the things in those memos that you think have been most important in revealing information that was validated about Russia or Russia's connections to Donald Trump. I think the single most important thing that comes out of the dossier which is really in the 1st memo was that. The Kremlin was planning and meant running an operation to elect Donald Trump the president States and that it was a big operation that involved a lot of different aspects it was very deliberately designed to elect Trump and not just to sow discord in the Us political system although that was a secondary purpose that was really right on target it was an incredibly precious and observation that the u.s. Government did not reach until months later and so much of the. Summer of the 2016 we spent trying to stand that up and raise concerns raise alarms with other people. It's been a lot of attacks against Christians work for being unsubstantiated but it doesn't really. Get said enough that in this one central point he was dead right to use a metaphor Terry that are a colleague of ours likes to use he predicted an attack on Pearl Harbor the Pearl Harbor attack happened in Rector's and then in hindsight a lot of people said well you got the number of zeros wrong you got the direction they were coming in from Iran therefore the document is somehow impugned now that docking was never mad meant to be read as a dossier it was a series of contemporaneous intelligence reports right which collectively tell that important story there are other important aspects of these memos that have stood up quite well. They identify about a half dozen people associated with the Trump campaign or the president one way or another who later turned out to in fact be key figures in the service relationship between Donald Trump and the prince. What's one or 2 of the things in the Dostie that proved not to be true. Well as of right now we don't have anything in the dossier that we think has been proven to be untrue various investigations have found that certain things couldn't be proven or disproven. The thing that people most often point to as supposedly disproven Is this a meeting between some trumped campaign officials and Russian spies in or around Prague in the late summer of 2016 that has repeatedly been denied but one of the people who issued the most vociferous did Ailes was the president's lawyer Michael Cohen who is currently serving time in prison and. He sued us actually for libel and then shortly thereafter his office was raided by the f.b.i. It's it's important to remember you know he said that he was one of the people at that meeting that's what the memo said that's what the memo said yes thank you right. I would say it's it's important remember that much of the evidence of these matters lies in a foreign country beyond the reach of u.s. Law enforcement and certainly the reach of Robert Muller on the Michael Cohen Prague visit in particular what the report actually reports is that Michael Cohen himself claims to have not been there it. Has gone said the matter just has not been settled if you're just joining us my guests are Glen Samson and Peter French the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. They're the authors of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump We'll be right back this is Fresh Air. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some sun and Peter French co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And author of the new book crime in progress inside the steel dossier and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. The most famous part or infamous part of the so-called steel dossier the series of memos that Christopher Seale steel assembled for you investigating Russia's interference in our election on Donald Trump's ties to Russia. Was the so-called p tape and this is this is. The tape that several sources told Christopher Steele exists there's no confirmation that this tape exists explain what the p. Tape is for somebody who hasn't been following it. Right so the beauty of as you put it is a recounting of source reporting from Moscow that alleges that Donald Trump and 2013 while he was attending the Miss Universe pageant that he sponsored. In collaboration with a Russian oligarch. Was in his hotel suite in Moscow at the Ritz Carlton. And a was sent a pair of prostitutes who performed a Euro nation show. On top of the bed in the presidential suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. With the purpose being to defile the bed in which Barack and Michelle Obama slept in years earlier. Now yes you mentioned several sources. We can't get into sources and methods as we know them but we have strong confidence in the reliability and the well placed or a nature of the sources and there were Don't fewer than 7 for that particular anecdote. So obviously this is the most famous part of the so-called dossier and there was some internal debate. Christiane's firman and so sure that our firm about for what to do about this in terms of the fact that it was. Going to going to distract people from some of the other information that was in the report. In fact this tree of this is now shown that. Some of the denials that Donald Trump has made about this period. Were false. First officially denied this initially he told James Comey that he didn't spend the night in my house in the hotel that night that turned out to not be true. So there was a conflict between both of you about whether to include the this allegation in your report or not and I want you know that's. So that's you know Glenn was alluding to there was a dispute I wouldn't call it as Butte there was a discussion inside or bas that Christopher Steele's firm with his partner who's also a fellow British intelligence officer a former British intelligence officer about why. Other than clue that anecdotal not in the end Chris who is the Russian has thought it was very important to include. For the sake of verisimilitude the reporting right he wanted to accurately reflect what sources were saying and he did not and he thought it was really important to note that the Russian government could have hard evidence of compromise on the presidential candidates was evidence of that Christopher Steele feared could be used to basically blackmail Donna Graham correction and in our office we felt that this information wasn't all that significant and could only cause a lot of problems because. It wasn't really something that had much application to the presidential campaign these kinds of unconfirmable stories about someone's sexual past it just doesn't really have much cation in a political context. So we were sort of stuck with this information when it became apparent that there was other things going on that involved a possible conspiracy against the United States. And we decided to turn this information over to the f.b.i. We felt that we did not want to manipulate Chris's reporting or edit it in any way because that would be a bigger problem so we just gave my gave him everything that's why he decided to that's why he decided to have the steel dossier be a separate document from your findings with you have been that you editing it all like this this is what he found this is what he heard from sources. And that will stand alone right it's important to point out that the decision to approach the f.b.i. Was Chris's you know we have ceded we defer to him he is the intelligence perhaps discuss that decision because this is a real turning point in your investigation and the whole larger. Russia investigate right so when in early July Chris arranged to meet with a contact of his at the f.b.i. In Europe. Someone he knew from previous work he asked us if that was a good idea and we didn't disagree it was it's important that. It's clear that this is Chris's decision as an intelligence professional so he had that meeting in July 5th of 2016 with the f.b.i. And read them in to some of the information he'd found in his 1st report so I'm going to see the f.b.i. Was also independently investigating Russia's interference in the election and possible ties between Donald Trump and Russia. But questions are still yes go ahead well this is an amazing point in the story which is that we now know we've now pieced together the beginnings of the f.b.i. Investigation juxtaposed against the beginnings of Chris's interactions with the Justice Department the f.b.i. And it turns out that it was almost simultaneous but the 1st information to get there was not our information it was the information about a low level campaign staffer bragging that the Russians had hacked the Democrats so who was that. So there was reporting that from Alexander Downer of his nostril and diplomat in the u.k. Who had had a meeting with George Papadopoulos who was in the trunk campaign as a junior. Foreign policy aide. In which. Has bragged about having Russian intelligence on dirt on Hillary Clinton Alexander Downer reported that to the us government which is where which was the foundation of the subsequent investigation called cross-fire and this is how investigations begin is that. Both the Government of Australia and us. Reacted to the revelations that the Russians had hacked the d.n.c. And so essentially the f.b.i. Had information coming in from 2 different independent sources around the same time that corroborated each other to some extent in investigations that's actually how they get going is when information comes from more than one place came in slightly after the information from the stress you never intended the dossier to be public as you said and you both didn't directly go to the f.b.i. That was Christopher Steele who did that but you did start approaching journalists why did you start approaching journalist What did you want to tell them did you want them to do with the information. Initially in the summer of 2016 we were concerned that certain people around the trunk campaign in the trunk campaign were questionable character Paul mean a fort was someone that we knew a lot about that we believe had probably violated various us laws and might be involved in corruption and money laundering so we talked to reporters about him and others such as quarter page who seem to be. In there interacting with the Russians in a suspicious way. On a trip to Russia so these are people that we talked to reporters around me encourage them to look into a little bit more Same with Mike Flynn. Now as it turned out all 3 people were people that needed to be asked to gated and 2 of them have now pled guilty to crimes so the initial conversations with reporters were about some of these characters in the trunk campaign and the Trump Organization later with the movie became more concerned that there was a government Russian government attack on our country that was unprecedented in scale and scope we tried to raise awareness with national security reporters and investigative reporters not so much to affect the outcome of the election fact specifically not to affect the election but because we thought that this was something we needed to raise awareness about because it was a huge.

And from Whole Foods Market offering colors and flavors of the season with seasonal produce holiday desserts and Chef created menus Whole Foods Market color the classics. This is Fresh Air I'm Terry Gross let's get back to my interview with Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch co-founders of fusion g.p.s. a Private research company which did opposition research on candidate Donald Trump and commissioned what became known as the steel dossier which uncovered connections between Donald Trump and Russia and cited several sources that said Russia had a compromising video of Trump with prostitutes a golden showers video that could be used to blackmail him the dossier was written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was commissioned to do the research by fusion g.p.s. Simpson and Fritsch are both former Wall Street Journal reporters now they have a new book about their investigation into Trump and Russia called crime in progress they say their report and the steel dossier were never intended to be made public but the down CIA was leaked and published by Buzz Feed. When Buzz Feed actually published the dossier you were fewer and you were kind of afraid of what the consequences might be you had put Christopher in front of journalists already so why were you so upset when the dossier was actually published. Well we didn't put Christopher Steele before journalists and on the record way he spoke on background as a former Western intelligence official that's the 1st point you know the 2nd point the publication. Which was of course not our decision and by any way shape or form could have compromised sources and methods of them on redacted document. Chris did not have any kind of a warning to prepare for its release and it was hugely dangerous in our view to his his source network this is become more common knowledge now in the wake of the 2016 election that Russia the Russian intelligence services have a overseas assassination program. But it's well known to us in particular Chris that this is just so this is known to the intelligence services for a long time. We've seen now that they actually are willing to use chemical weapons against people in the United Kingdom. Refresh our memory about when Buzz Feed published this deal dossier. But if you publish the dossier on. January 10th 2017. So it was after the election it could no longer affect the outcome of the election that's correct but it was before the inauguration so. What we say in the book is that the person who has now admitted to leaking that r.c.a. Was apparently trying to do was to thwart the swearing in of Trump. He believed that if this information got out it might lead to. Some how to Trump's inaugural being put on the ultimate hell mary pass and ill advised who were the leaker. So there was a John McCain a person who was close to John McCain by the name of David Kramer who's a former worked in the State Department for human rights for many years and is a and a valued Russia Hoch he. Became aware of the document via Christopher Steele on his network and his his former colleagues in m I 6 they met with. Senator McCain at the Halifax Forum which is an international forum not unlike the Aspen Institute form they decided that they needed to pursue this David Kramer flew to London met with Christopher Steele who showed him the dossier Mr Chris Chris was was wary of giving the document to David Kramer to carry on an airplane so he asked us to hand it to him which Glen did. Are you for the express sorry for the express purpose of handing the document to John McCain for the purpose of approaching James Comey about it so the purpose was to get the document to McCain and then to the f.b.i. Not to leak it to the press that's right so has this. Admitted that he was the one who leaked it or is just yes Ok so there was a Russian cyber mogul who sued Buzz Feed for libel and David was required to testify and he. Alternately acknowledged that it was he who provided the document to Bush and other people do you find it ironic that it was an aide of John McCain's who made the public and in the hopes of preventing Donald Trump from actually getting inaugurated and it's Lindsey Graham one of the closest friends who's been one of the leaders trying to question the mother report trying to question the research that you did and supporting Donald Trump I think it's ironic I think it's hypocritical and I think it's depressing that a lot of people who know better now standing up for Donald Trump So yes I think you know what the Republicans paid for the 1st half of our investigation and now they're claiming it was all a Democratic hoax that doesn't make sense. Let's just stop right there because the Republicans who paid for the 1st part of your investigation were people who are opposing trust Trump they were Republicans but they wanted another Republican to win the primary not trump right so this is my point which is that a lot of Republicans who said that Trump would be a disaster for the Republican Party and the nation are now defending Donald Trump it's a porter remember that Lindsey Graham. As John McCain and others have recounted. Agreed with John McCain's decision to approach James communist come in this document Fast forward to the moment in January chemical it is in March where were Lindsey Graham along with Senator Charles Grassley make a criminal referral to the f.b.i. Or the dog bark Department of Justice for Christopher Steele it's an outrage. So let's talk about what's been happening more recently and that's the impeachment inquiry Republicans cited your report 32 times in the impeachment inquiry. They were saying you colluded with Russians why don't you describe what you heard Republicans say about you during the impeachment inquiry the Republicans cranked up their fog machine as they've been doing since the dossier came out to deflect attention away from the real issue here which is the extent to which Donald Trump was in a relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia they have used lies and deflection to attack the messengers and again not transact the facts which is of course what they're doing to the whistleblower and to any other good people who try and. Called the president to account it's a fairly artful construction of an alternate reality that is channeled through various propaganda mechanisms including Fox News. And it's it's not meant to be taken as true by anyone other than the minority of people who still support Donald Trump. As we have been saying in recent days. When they accuse us of cooking up. A hoax to entrap and damage Donald Trump in some kind of secret operation with the Ukrainian Teligent services they're not confused they're deliberately lying it's just it's just a made up story designed to confuse the public. Has gone so far as to accuse Glahn of going to Ukraine and 2016 and working with the Ukrainians to cook up the dossier that is just a lie Well Glenn you actually ran into Rudy Giuliani on a plane recently and told him You've never been in Ukraine. That's correct I've never been in Ukraine I've never been to Russia. We're getting very tired of sort of the more dramatic deliberate lies about us so we've decided to begin to correct the record Rudy Giuliani also claims that we set up the infamous meeting between the Trump campaign and the Russians in June of 2016 it's well established from multiple investigations Rudy Giuliani is well aware of that we had nothing to do a setting that meeting that meeting was set up by Donald Trump Jr and Russia Ok let's take a short break here and when we come back we'll talk about how fusion g.p.s. Was criticized during the impeachment inquiry by republic. So if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some and Peter French co-founders of fusion g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress inside the. Investigation of Donald Trump We'll be right back this is Fresh Air. Support for n.p.r. Comes from this station and from Progressive Insurance offering snapshot a device that adjusts insurance rates based on safe driving habits now that's progressive learn more at progressive dot com or 1800 progressive and from the John d. And Catherine t. MacArthur Foundation recognizing exceptionally creative individuals this year's MacArthur Fellows and more information are at mac found dot org. This is Fresh Air and if you're just joining us my guests are Glenn some sand and Peter Fritsch they're the co-founders of fusion g.p.s. And authors of the new book crime in progress inside the CIA and the Fusion g.p.s. Investigation of Donald Trump. So you started off as a journalist I mean you were journalist for years and then when you were both based in Brussels Glenn you're an investigative reporter still and Peter you were his editor there to have that right that's right yeah so you were investigative judge you were journalist like for years for the Wall Street Journal and then you just cited 2 for this business fusion g.p.s. And basically do investigative research for hire. And I want you to talk a little bit about the different standards being a journalist versus being research for hire and your clients have included not only like you know Republicans and Democrats but also you know large corporations legal firms so. Talk about the differences in the way the way you went about your work but also in the standards that you would use for. You know the ethical standards the business is designed to use journalistic methods. And so it's essentially in terms of standards very similar newspapers. Talk to people in this group or talk to people they don't always know whether those people are telling the truth or whether they're accurate they report what people say frequently what people say turns out to be wrong but it's still in the newspaper so we do very similar stuff. Can we describe some of what you've been doing as opposition research. We do very little political research actually but it's even opposition research for the corporate clients that you have isn't it well I wouldn't call it opposition research it's more a understanding a and information set right so there are a lot of complicated disputes in the context of lost lawsuits obviously but also influence networks right there's a lot of people who want to understand why there are issues you know moving a certain way through Washington or through the courts what we try and do is use public records to map and explain those relationships that really is the core of what we do and does it matter who your client is like if your client is a corporate client and you actually suspect that they were in the wrong would you still represent them. It really would depend on the context you know litigation contacts you generally work for a law firm and so it's not really possible to prejudge situation between who's right who's wrong that's the purpose of the lawsuit it also go back to another thing that we do. Is to sit in support so we help people to manage information and to parse information and make decisions about what to do with it so sometimes that is corporate strategy sometimes it's whether to file a lawsuit or not to file a lawsuit would settle or suit so a lot of decision making you know relies on quality information I mean there's there's one example which you know we talk about in the book which maybe is useful here we talk about very briefly our work for fair knows the blood testing company run by Elizabeth Holmes which turned out to be a massive fraud what we were actually doing for their nose was looking at on behalf of a law firm we were looking at the. They're competitors question a lot of court to do I believe in lab testing if you're a doctor orders a lab test you go into one of those labs and we were analyzing the key to him whistleblower suits against that against those firms and trying to understand what their business model was you know as a journalist you're committed to just like finding the facts reporting what you found and not being concerned with you know taking sides in fact you're not supposed to take sides. But you know when you're you know if you're reporting for you know of like the Wall Street Journal The Washington Post The New York Times it's about you know being fair and being neutral in finding the facts but when you're reporting. Is paid for by a particular side Republican or Democrat or when your reporting is paid for by a particular legal group or by a company it's about getting information for that side so it was a difficult transition for you to make and you feel like you're no longer you know just on the side of. Fact finding and truth when when when you're doing that when you have an interested party paying for information. Glenn will have a view on this too but quite the opposite I mean I think we are we place and as high a premium as we ever did on facts you know in the context of working for a law firms or major companies you know you can't you can't report anything but facts and sometimes you don't need just 2 sources to get it or and anonymous sources you need paper and you need documents not documentary evidence and that's not changing our lives at all. There's a misapprehension about what we do we're not a p.r. Firm and we don't sell spin our clients what reliable information and that is the business that we're in so it really has a lot of similarities to journalism it's not. A cooked outcome that we don't sell that if you saw one of our reports you would mistake it for an academic paper. Have you ever turned down a client. Yes we have we've turned down 25 The irony of the Russia affair is that it is a part of the world where we generally don't do a lot of work. Numerous clients from the former Soviet Union have approached us that we have turned away we actually forced clients to absurd myth to our methodology which is you know if you have a preconceived out common mind and you're looking for specifically a media outcome where the wrong people you know of obviously our peer group is our journalist we have a lot of friends in that business but if you don't want to get to the bottom of you know facts that were the wrong people for you. Is there any information you can share with us about what you're finding about foreign interference in the next presidential election or foreign interference in our elections actually has a fairly long history it's just not something that a lot of people know much about or focused on. In 2016. We believe at least 3 countries interfered in the election Turkey was one Israel was one Russia was one. It's possible there were others we expect that in 2020 Wolf see that at least 3 or 4. Countries or messaging over social media and using other methods to try to influence you know before I wrap up I'd like to ask is there information that you found while you were researching. Campaign ties to Russia and Russia's interference in our election that you don't think enough attention has been paid to you. Yes things that we came across ourselves that didn't really involve Chris Steele was the Russian infiltration of the National Rifle Association which was something that I brought to the attention of the Justice Department and then later raised in my congressional testimony. And that has turned out to be a big issue although it's still not fully investigated eventually criminal charges were brought against a young Russian woman who came to states and be friended top officials at the n.r.a. The n.r.a. Very a Buddha right and so there's a larger problem here that the Russians appear to have infiltrated some of the affiliated Republican conservative groups and the n.r.a. Is the clearest example of that we think that there is a much broader effort by the Russians to infiltrate and influence conservative organizations the other thing that I think still is left outstanding that we spent some time talking about in the book is the extent to which Donald Trump's overseas ventures have been. Have not been parsed probably either by Robert Muller or anyone else we've done our best to map some of the Russian. Influence in money coursing through projects in Panama as are beige on Toronto etc you know someone needs to actually think about compromise and that term financial compromise and we spent some time talking about that in the book. I want to thank both of you for talking with us Glen some sun Peter French Thank you so much thank you Glenn Simpson and Peter French are the founders of fusion in g.p.s. Their new book is called crime in progress after we take a short break just in Chang will review the new film 9 is out I'm Terry Gross and this is Fresh Air. This is Fresh Air although best known for directing Star Wars the last jet I the writer director Ryan Johnson has long been a fan of murder mysteries as Just 1005 debut brick was a film to watch set in a contemporary American high school his new movie knives out is an Agatha Christie style murder mystery with an ensemble that includes Daniel Craig Christopher Plummer Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis film critic Justin Chang is the story of you as someone who's devoured more than his fair share of Agatha Christie I have long been saddened by Hollywood's general neglect of the classical detective story the kind of clever parlor trick entertainment where a murder is committed in a remote country house and suspicion falls on a closed circle of suspects every so often a director will put his unique spin on the genre as Robert Altman did with Gosford Park and Quentin Tarantino did with the hateful 8 Kenneth Branagh is presently directing and starring in a new wave of heck you Paro adaptations though his middling take on murder on the Orient Express didn't leave me wondering who done it so much as why bother but no filmmaker has done more to revive the spirit of the form or made it seem more rife with possibilities than Ryan Johnson has with knives out this to Leary Asli entertaining comic thriller brings together an all star cast at an ingeniously plotted crime story whose every twist catches you by surprise but it also does something more it takes a genre often dismissed as creaky or cozy and uses it to say something powerful and urgent about contemporary class inequality and the moral rot at the heart of this large and obscenely wealthy family. Christopher Plummer plays Harlan Thrawn be a best selling mystery novelist who is already dead at the start someone slit his throat in the middle of the night and was almost certainly a member of his family all of whom were staying at his ramshackle Victorian house for his 85th birthday party Johnson delights in playing out the usual whodunit conventions whether he's drawing out the piercing scream of the housekeeper who discovers Harlan's body or lining up the suspects as they're interviewed by 2 police detectives played by Lee Keith Stanfield and Noah Segan but things really start cooking when a southern accent to Daniel Craig shows up as Ben Wa luck a famous private detective who is conducting his own investigation into Harlan's death in one scene Harlan's daughter Linda a splendidly biting Jamie Lee Curtis tries to find out who hired blog and why Mr Blank I know who you are I read your profile in The New Yorker I found it delightful I just buried my 85 year old father who committed suicide why are you here. Here at the behest of a client. Who. I cannot see but let me assure you this my presence will be automatic you will find me over suspect full. As. Of the truth nearly everyone in the family was financially dependent on Harlan and as the actors play them there in amusingly loathsome scheming bunch Linda has a philandering husband played by an oily Dawn Johnson and a black sheep son ransom played by a cocky Chris Evans Ransom had a combative but genuinely close relationship with his late grandfather which is more than can be said for the other members of the family they include Michael Shannon as Walt who ran his father Harlan's publishing firm and Toni Collette as Harlan's widow daughter in law Joanie a social media influencer with a group inspired lifestyle brand but the most memorable character by far and the one who emerges as the trooper tagging next is Marta Cabrera Harlan's personal nurse superbly played by the Cuban actress Ana that are most March appears to have been Harlan's only true friend she's far more heartbroken over his death than any of his relatives who keep telling her they see her as part of the family even though none of them can remember exactly which Latin American country she immigrated from blank immediately sees her as a potential ally and in lists her help in solving the mystery sensing that she knows more about Harlan and his family secrets than she may be letting on. The steady stream of laughs and wink wink genre references and nights out might make it seem at 1st like an arch post-modern send up but the movie is too well constructed too full of clever red herrings and breathtaking surprises to be reduced to a mere spoof this isn't the 1st time Ryan Johnson has shown off his flair for intricate plotting as he did in his time travel thriller looper and in Star Wars the last jet I that Blockbuster was attacked by some fans for among other things it's racially diverse casting you can't help but wonder if those bigoted reactions stung Johnson into century his new movie around a working class Spanish speaking immigrant whose competence and decency utterly shamed the wealthy white family that employs her the pleasures of knives out are both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly subversive even after the murderers identity has been revealed it builds to what may be the single most satisfying closing shot I've seen this year I won't say more but it's a killer Justin Chang is a film critic for the l.a. Times. Tomorrow our guest will be Edward Norton who wrote directed and stars in the new film noir Motherless Brooklyn based on the Jonathan.

It was a long day and Maria and baby say Ray j. Link could show you're listening to Carla Grange good afternoon I was watching tenable yesterday and I want to wildlife are late I would worry Davis he has that as a name one of the questions was about Blondie was what was that the top 10 best selling singles that wasn't one of them and it came a bit late in it but I really like that woman it's a great song got some great guests all on the show as well today including Brian blasted. Oh yeah. That taken from Flash Gordon one of the many films he set featured in you'll hear his voice at the moment he stars in Peppa Pig something I watch all the time of course because of my little girly place crampy rabbit but he's done so much more than that and he's coming to grant them to tell you all about it he'll be at some Wolfram's this weekend to talk about his life and my goodness what a life he's led not only is he an actor and raconteur But of course he's also an explorer as well as me having climbed Mount Everest or attempted to climb Mount Everest twice without oxygen he plans to retire he's 83. His wife will apparently allow it I don't think she's got much choice but he continues to explore he's climbed Kilimanjaro as well and so also had cosmonaut training as well in Russia what a man he is you'll hear from him in just a moment after this. With the and. Heart chocolates and everyone so we're now on b.b.c. Radio Lincolnshire I felt like a winner when I got to chat to one of my heroes Brian bless it I don't know what it is often fascinated with this man since I was about 3 years old I just think he's remarkable that you could go and see it was coming to us and Wolfram's Jad in Grantham on Saturday he'll be so King about his life his numerous films and t.v. Shows as well including Flash Gordon Dr Who Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare films as well he starred in a lot of those he's had a career spanning more than 50 years so and he's also denied for exploration as well with his trips to Mount Everest amongst other things my goodness what a man he is 83 he's just tired and he reckons he's going back up Mount Everest he's going to give it another go bearing in mind he does this without oxygen. He's now in for his bathing voice isn't a he's an absolute talent but he talks in this shy about his childhood as well in life growing up in South Yorkshire with his parents which is where we started when we had a chat it was a step very very exciting time I mean our daughter up with drama brought up with my dad we were all of our Mort. I didn't go you know what I mean I actually got a big fella grabbing broad shoulders who were no bar No Pit Bar and he come back you know the gas lights of the mist it comes to the mix with you so much all it. And any comments of it pick me up and carry me into the house so I'm reading the be you know dad really amazing Mr x. And it came to the very last fall and it was like a novelty sad that my room there was my mother of course mothers of us what it will be the world I remember mother was. Was a great big fire black kettle on the fire and there was reason you know to Saturday night or. Not or didn't bomb it was a very exciting time and I guess I really just every weekend to see Flash Gordon. In the local cinema and I was pretended out to reduce you get an episode each week and either would pretend to be a voter on the flying or woman looking at the old man I never thought that one day I'd actually played in a film but we'll talk about that little bit later if we may I wanted to mention something else and I read in your book a sort of gold management from from your childhood when you remember seeing Mal odds I'm like I'm a typical right that the speed record just outside of grant them in a good shot at you when we could really are a bunch of I don't have to plan to see it and he burst through the mist 1 November evening all with his tenders and through the mist is great blue Moby Dick I'm a just sent to my knee as a good sign saying the Flying Scotsman had seen I things like that and the red dragon of Wales and the cock of an old always going to Black Prince all these great trains at the. Jesus Christ Well that's right I mean defies description I mean that I mean about trains mean the trains are not bloody 'd trains are. Kind of glamorize electrical busses Well we talked about you Dad and the memories you have as a family with these helmets that lifts out walking through the mist that of course mining that the maiden industry hit in the area but it was an industry you didn't want to say to to get involved in Weldon and you were right in that most coal mine didn't want to the sun was to get on the mine eyes to find it. And it's a nightmare because my dad was gassed 3 times and my dad was crushed once a rescue people from fires family was. Badly injured in the day for his life any or all worry that he'd 'd die of shock but 'd he survived and so I went to leave school 14 and became an undertaker's assistant to an extra 3 pounds to my mother there were tough days but all my uncles and all that they were artistic people this is the length the blue head of your shows full of drama gave Barron Judi Dench Patrick Stewart you name it Betty is to come and visit me 2 years younger than me and sit in my little room my box room and probably that video we do Shakespeare together from the age of 9 Well this was something else all right and I was amazed that you had such a long friendship with Patrick Stewart also made. It read he had elocution lessons . When I was going to Adelaide it while we went on drama course was in the called the valley and there were professional teachers we couldn't believe it and Patrick and I did plays with them for a week and I was part of the mix prepared to give orders all my school teachers are in it and they were brilliant actors and I played Heath Griffin weathering eyes. Bramble Bronte and one avoids it was impossible for Patrick and me to go professional because he was a son of the milkman and I was a son of a cone hero is unheard of and anyway we went in and we did a lot of amateur theatre and then we had these marvelous train is a speech now we didn't want to lose our Yorkshire expression he's a great teacher said you don't keep your Yorkshire expression but we'll teach you to speak and otherwise you'll be limited to a Yorkshire accent for Hamlet in Othello and things like that I mean practical because when I meet him you 'd know on rare occasions now we have this friendship between you know good. Roger keep cropping up about these mountains are likely pretty good about going to die yes every soured when he was 40 or 40 years of age that I losing my hair or yet not I just as you just know well the visit his parents had not being there a different house elder 'd mind is really to wrestling eyes to resume that in mind which confused Patrick Marion is as a very Victorian and 'd a dad quite severe and so forth and everybody everyone was booked. I thought crimes done sorry that you're going to be bald. Men so I cannot believe that somebody was bolted and looks like to mention who is a sex symbol in America. Regards stop it stop it stop it but every time I read your replies we are. Going to get killed on the next mountain. To go somewhere on. Well I'm not going to look. You know I've got. Brian blasted their chat saying about his life growing up in South Yorkshire with his dad to his friendship with Patrick Stuart a friendship which remains and how he 1st got into acting of course there's more to come there's more plenty more by chat with Brian he talks a little bit more about his acting career is that cause Of course one of the 1st things that he started on the baby say corner as well and we'll talk about some of those sex but he's taken that as well so that says Still to come baby see right now there let's go to the right b.b.c.

And then quite suddenly I was on television I was in this. Huge it was because the Beatles. 62 I was cast as census ratings at cars and it was live 45 minutes 5 in 5 minutes so I think some of the episodes in 'd many experts agree with me not because I was in it but in some of the television ins that counts is the finest television as it was so real we limited to the b.b.c.

Everyone I go to I mean I mean a few years ago when I reach the North Pole because I mean I'm I'm 50 percent actor 50 percent Explorer and a Russian submarine can prove the ice typhoon submarine like a Red October and the captain came out through the turret and looked at as and said Oh it's true sir good did a lot of.

And said that we sold. Well he stated that leads us to chatted. And we did have food to see clearly I look forward to it I always feel happy when I'm going up north. Brian blasted talking about his career my goodness what a craze had his say 3 planning his next to escapade system hypes to go up Mount Everest again without oxygen I might add his coming to grant that he'll be at some Wolfram's on Saturday it's half past 7 start an evening with Brian blessid and to he'll be interviewed on stage by Steve Haley who will be auctioning film memorabilia and autographs as well from the other celebrities he's met but Brian blessid the main man for the evening talking about his career I'm expecting a long one to die. In a short stay car park would be my advice. Thanks . B.b.c. Radio. Jessie j. And price tag baby sea right Dad made. Never forget about the price tag you always have to check back in k.c. In the Sunshine Band before that would give it up to Andres voted to act he says I think that the k.c. Sunshine Band sing at sounds like Benny from Top Cat I can't think what he sounds like Andrew saw it just have to take I with you lovely to have you back says Andrew and Luca thank you very much by getting in touch as we have some music all for a different kind let's have a little bit of swaying it say in honor of the fact that said the r.f. Swing waiting will be performing once again at Lincoln's drill hole this autumn that back and they'll be delighting audiences with the music from original great such as Ted Heath and Glenn Miller. And. The way I. Am about. The room I am going to. Go only I. Am. Told. Thanks. I am. Let. Me. Glenn Miller and American patrol on baby say right here Lincoln said that song and many more from Glenn Miller and Ted Hayes there as well as the likes of from Michael do blind Gordon Goodwin will be performed at said the drill hole in Lincoln this weekend as it welcomes a back Aria swing wing and I'm delighted to say Mr Jeff Burton station officer for the Lincoln Center and nothing I'm sure our a.f. Association joins me now tapping away to that means that Jack I believe under the table wherever you are very very much so it's a it's a it's a wonderful air in some beautiful music I say wherever you are I do know that you are actually at r.s. Camp that the maven on even you've been showing us and showing people around yes I have a group of veterans at the moment that are having a station visit today at Oriel scamped And so it's kind of a broken away from the 2 of us each on the radio of a veteran who a would have served at Scamp than in their time I believe a couple of them do they're actually a branch or an or if Association branch from Nottingham Cher but they've come down here for the day oversee scum turn that haven't got much longer to go I'm afraid so they oversee took the opportunity of having a station visit today absolutely Well I hope they they enjoyed having a look round but if we of course are looking forward to seeing you performing I say you will you be performing or do you just look after the band now what myself and the the station Russell oh team so each are of station has a group of service men and women who fundraise and raise the profile of the area station so they are Association and they're called rustlers and they are the ones that are actually putting on this event and obviously I'm just coming along to the front and to chat to the audience of probably the half time so they're doing the privilege the the structure of it and organizing it and obviously they are e.f. College bound. From Well part of them is called the swing wing ground about 2020 pounds men and women who come along and for the last 10 probably 11 years now we've had the event and they provide an incredible evening's entertainment for for the audience who come along to the drivel I love that I've heard of the graph alive because I have a little girl but not Rafa lie. I like the NY It's very good when you come to perform there we've had a piece of me there from Glen Miller coffee you'll have Glad military a lot have more modern me there because while I think they'll be a whole choice each year the band master in the band change what they're going to do and it's really down to them anything within the swing as you mention Michael bublé But but the the music crosses so many generations from Glenn Miller Benny Goodman to keling turn would he have been as you said Ted Heath count Basey all foot tapping and it's naturally I think here whether you're whether you're kind of somebody in the teens or twenties or whether you're much older the music just naturally makes you want to tap and feel good and it's just the nature of that kind of music is it's wonderful it is that the ability forward to it how long has the power of had a swaying wing. Well that's a very good. I have to be honest and say a little secret 11 years ago that the event started 11 years ago when I was still in the r.a.f. And I was. Strange enough I was the organizer of the very 1st a vent so we certainly have the swing wing for that amount of time and I imagine probably another 5 or 10 years before that but I'm not sure but it's certainly a very valued part of of what the college fund does I can't offer to speak for them because they are there or there are a separate entity but yes everybody thoroughly enjoys the music and having that a separate part of the band that can do kind of shows inside and just give so much so many people so much pleasure and enjoyment say you were one of the organizers of the. Event 11 years ago you say was that real whole it was at the drill hole Yes and it was very much a case of we just put our toe in the water to see if we could and the event was designed obviously for to provide the music for people but obviously to fundraise for the r.f. Association in those days I was I was a rough follow but worked as a member of the r e f Now I actually work for the r.f. Association itself Goodness me and how is the event taken off it is a bigger every year it's different every year because obviously the drill hole was I think a seating capacity of just shy of $370.00 seats and every single year they sell out almost to a single seat so it's always a packed audience always a very very excitable and vibrant audience that come along most people probably don't have the area of connection but they enjoy the music and that's the thing that binds people together and it's a wonderful audience and a wonderful show each year absolutely I'm sure it will be this year as well I imagine raising money that's a big big part of base where does the money guy what he does they get spent on all the profits that come from the evening when you when you visit discounted everything else that we have to pay for all of the profits go to the r.f. Association obviously which is what the leading me. Shipping organization and charity that provides the welfare support to serving an ex members of the r.f. Personnel and their families so it goes directly into the heart of providing that welfare support brilliant brilliant well like good luck for the evening I keep thinking it's some time away being the 1st of November but of course it's almost upon math it's only yes and they're only I spoke to the box office today and there are only 70 or just under 70 tickets left so anybody that needs or would like to come along to it the drill all tell me there are 3 ways that they can do it if you if you don't mind me just saying they can either go on to the drill hole website which is obviously w w w dot Lincoln drill hole or one word dot com or they can email in on box office or one word at drill hole sorry Lincoln drill hole dot com All they can ring in 115-228-7389 extension 44 those that perhaps all familiar the drill all the entrance to it is on free school line at the back of Silva street parade no excuse in their daft that they've got to get into that in there and get a ticket thank you very much it's a thing the fact you have been there and that sleep lies there lovely thank you very much Carla thank you again you Jeff that and their station officer for the Lincolnshire and nothing I'm sure r.f. Association he was the one of the organizers of the 1st r.f.
