Create these super viruses that can become extremely dangerous and we know the government has a history by the way of testing bacteria was called the Germ Warfare Program but officially that is all the one hundred sixty nine before that they really said they released. To save some kind of bacteria on the population of america in two hundred ninety three different places including the entire city of San Francisco in one hundred fifty so there is some some history of releasing these bacteria and viruses into the public well my concern is always that this this perks my ears up because it sounds like biological warfare it sounds like that first stab and i think we learned from oppenheimer like maybe just because we can do something maybe we shouldnt and i think this is one of those things where the the ends dont justify the means and the wrists to it being stolen to the information being stolen and i mean the information that is garnered from this could then be used by someone by a terrorist by you know a foreign country or somebody to. Attack anybody around the world i mean its like right ripes why dont you just try to fix just these is not make them worse i know its a crazy idea is that both sides are how advanced we get i dont know that we know enough but to understand like why we cant use more computer based simulations for a lot of this genetic. Testing i mean we can do a lot with computer coding though it is all sort of job over the tax issue to the other big trust me that we saw this week distrust of the talks exploring just just let us pass and you all be happy. Yeah and its not i mean its great if you make over you know seventy five thousand dollars here on a corporation on a boat most youre going to be great or if youre playing and giving if youre say an aging politician in congress and you just gave yourself great tax breaks on your investments and the estate tax youre going to leave your family a great big chunk of change you may leave the American People without it but so yeah we can trust the corporations to use the payments the tax breaks to reinvest but theyre not going to as you said theyre going to theyre theyre already saying that theyre looking at putting it into Mergers Acquisitions buying back stock all of that so according to the joint committee on taxation the measure would. One point four trillion to the National Debt but republicans claim that the increased Economic Growth would boost business or say its an offset the revenue loss but. I cant find anybody who is a credible economic analyst who thinks that that makes any sense because the money thats on the stock market and our economy is not the kitty that we get the money from thats thats separate so this idea that well the stock market goes up then our budgets are bigger right im not from how it worked out is that youre right thats not how it works but you know how to just so were stuck with after this week oh well.

Whether youre coming to a close or taking a look back at the year that some of our favorite interview segments and news stories today well present our interview with logan sparks one of the writers and producers of the film lucky strike Harry Dean Stanton followed by tyrrell banter as heartfelt goodbye to the icon. Character actor take a listen os is something we all struggle with lost friends lives dreams all culminating in our own fears of mortality and what will leave behind in the film lucky Harry Dean Stanton character has a simple life of routine and a small desert town in this clip we see lucky telling off someone he feels is taking advantage of his friend howard played by david lynch whos gone how would. Your old coming go around that so often. Is beautiful. Alone close from two words or one scene in the day she is you know sort of them dry. Land brutal each vulture konono his the last dime just to leave everything to our turtle tortoise hes a taurus you know that someone near your yard that thing was barely a twig when roosevelt was born their contemporaries you know they watched each other grow up. President roosevelt was born in a hole in the desert at that time a little creature smaller than my thumb and something clicked inside that little Roosevelt Brain and he scampered up out of that hole and faced the world. You all think of a tortoise is something slow but i think about the bird he has to carry on his back yeah its for protection but ultimately its the coffin hes going to get buried in and he has to drag that thing around his entire life. Go ahead and laugh but he affected me you know what im saying and he affected me. There are some things in this universe ladies and gentlemen that are bigger than all of us and that terrorist is now. Joining us now from los angeles is one of the screenwriters of lucky longtime assistant and friend to acting legend Harry Dean Stanton welcome to the hocks nast welcome. A thanks for having me so much to be here with you oh it was logan you know weve all been friends for a long time it was a weird moment now here we are talking about your success with this approach as a writer and producer on the film i want to just tell us how much actual luck went into making lucky. Like my football coach used to say id rather be lucky than good. We were really lucky at this it helped that we had a i felt like we had a really strong script on our hands and as soon as harry dean said yes i knew that you know its like getting a leprechaun on your bus like youre going to be lucky from now on. Youd be surprised the number of people and things that just serendipitously worked out perfectly for this to make it for everything to work out because i mean the man was eighty nine when we began filming you know it was it was a daunting and daunting task from the very beginning but luck was pretty much our copilot. Now we know and harrys Harry Dean Stanton for a long time you were his assistant for more than a decade and most audiences have known his work for more than fifty years what about his performance in lucky surprised even. You know the thing about. About harry when in his characters is is he has a lot of walls is a very gruff a rough guy at least past characters right travis comes out of the desert and he barely says anything is not very communicative and thats in paris texas and then its repo man hes this rough and tumble repo man code. But in lucky the thing that surprised me most about him that was whats really interesting and unique to this film is how naked he became for us both physically and emotionally and we at the very beginning i was like him be underwear a cowboy hat see im alone stacked on top of one another you know a. Real live room you know you know its funny you say that because the thing that you said that really strikes true that was one of the major themes in lucky is fear is fear of the unknown the fear of the void the fear of death all of that and none of us get out of this alive and nobody ever really says it but its always the elephant in the room that none of us are going to leave this place to live and its terrifying i mean as a seven year old boy i think i had my first existential crisis to grow up in cave creek arizona and out there it can get really dark at night and and i was terrified of the dark i mean to the point of almost a phobia i imagine it took my father was an exploration debate basically threaten me out of it you know like dont dont wake me up again and ill give you something to be afraid of but you know that said we all have the crisis and given the world now where were literally every day you see this litany of awful things people are doing to one another this film is about facing that fear and bringing love to the moment and not religion and organized. Philosophies but just pure love and its just that simple powerful things to put all over the world. Well youd be surprised how few people want to see that. Its not actually going to stand. Most of us sort of want to cover up reality. And one thing about here is characters and hemis person as well as he didnt he didnt live in that world where you sugarcoated there was no butter cream frosting on it there was just this is reality and theres the things you just kind of a stoic and that way theres the thing. As you can control and the things you cant and the things you cant control are just why even bother why even bother with them why even sort of let yourself get stressed out about it what is it about that sort of existential crisis that it seems like you say that were all going through what advice you give to writers could seems like thats a really tough thing to write and not come off hokey or cheesy or end up losing yourself in the writing in this film i say this as a friend as as a critic as someone who always has an opinion about everything this is incredibly beautifully written what do you tell the someone looking to like tell that story and have the storytelling like this whats your advice to young writers. Well thank you tabitha thats its nurturing to hear those kinds of words especially to know that we my writing partner drug and i you know wrote from the heart and we wrote from what we knew we we still do a lot we stole a lot of lines from life that affected us. And and put them into a context and it was at the risk of sounding hokey in fact when i wrote that the speech there the monologue you heard about tortoises i wrote at my kitchen and with drago and and at the end of it i was like. Ask him you know do you think this is too. Boring and too cliche and like is anybody going to care about a man talking about his pet tortoise and and we had this discussion that its bigger than the tortoise and you know its about about the things that you expect in life and how they change unexpectedly and how you deal with it and if you can deal with it in two ways lover or or anger and so you know we broke each scene down like that to kind of give it a litmus test of just does this smell real this is the real thing that people would do and that was that thats basically the kind of the advice theyve been giving i spoke to us the last night it was really thankful to do that and i was talking to some of the students and that was one of the that was one of the things is not just write what you know but really step back at your ego out of it and say is this real its a real thing to this world that youre trying to create because if its not than its theres no place in it for you but the other thing i told these kids last night about writing this was i became obsessed and i dont have a backup plan my this is i have no plan b. And when harry was eighty nine he had basically retired and i realized if anybody was going to capture his philosophy we needed to do it now and we didnt want to make a documentary because it already been done with partly fiction which is a beautiful documentary but so if you ever but that had been the. And we wanted to tell and there it if we didnt want to tell a fairy story we want to tell lucky story with harrys philosophy. Really and if we think you know i have to ask logan you know we told you no known i would have known harry personally a lot of people know every through his works you know luckys a brilliant tragically but beautifully phylum film for him to kind of leave us all with. What really in your course of knowing harry what was what did you walk away with what it was life for his work working with him leave with you as an artist. Well theres the obvious the facts that he my life is defined before and after i married again. I was in my twentys when i met him and i was just you know young and angry and you know wondering why i didnt have a piece of the pie and harry taught me. The lesson of being patient and understanding where youre coming from he always said know your source which which sounds cliche but it really is like shakespeare said to then own self be to cut through your own b. S. And figure out who you are essentially and it took me fifteen years to figure out this is who i was and i needed to tell this story but you know he was also my best man and my wedding and my sons name is stanton and so theres all those effects but but ill tell you one thing that i learned all the way up until the end i was by a side all the way to the end and. The thing i learned is nobody at the end of their life ever thought man. I really wished id gone to work more. And i say that in jest but you know the idea of wasted time and harry lived a very deliberate life that he did logan i got to thank you so much for joining us today the screenwriter of the film lucky this week september twenty ninth in select theaters a broader release as we go forward logan sparks thank you so much for coming on today thank you guys i love you above that i love your show thank you. We are all nothing nothing we do matters the movie of your life is already shot wrapped in the care that was the personal mantra of legendary film and Television ActorHarry Dean Stanton who just passed who passed away just a few short weeks ago on september fifteenth after ninety one trips around the sun for some that may sound like a rather grim or cynical outlook on life but for my friend harry d. Believing that we are indeed all nothing gave him a freedom to live life totally honest with himself his work and those of us who had the honor and privilege of knowing him or not of kentucky in one nine hundred twenty six harry dean is considered to be the greatest character actor of not only his generation. But multiple generations he carved out an iconic film and Television Career of over two hundred roles from alien to twin peaks to big love to pretty in pink to paris texas to the green mile to Cool Hand Luke to repo man hunt and for help his final film lucky. I met harry dean when i was nineteen years old at the very beginning of my career when harry was just beginning his seventys despite the age difference he became one of my best friends in hollywood and taught me more about movies and life. Than even he will ever know. Now almost twenty years later twenty years later i mourn i mourn the loss of my friend as the as the world mourns the loss of a great actor whose whose work touched a solved. Even the most wrong member headspace of the character he played before before his name but that my friends that a true actor will consider is the greatest accomplishment of all far greater personal start of.
