Climate crisis and during our lunch break we started talking about the 9 11 attack, the u. S. Invaded afghanistan and we were talking about how horrible it was that the u. S. Was about to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9 11, and we started laughing about the color coated. It was really to keep people in a state of fare fear and that we needed another colorcoated alerto that theres another way of dealing with this. Thats when we came up with the idea of code pink.

Jacobson assumption until i decided to work on the book. It was a strange gift for the works. Coming to it with no background and completely clean, meant that i could mime mine own memories and layer in this information that i was learning. It wasnt like one of the things i often said about this work as i was doing it is i didnt come with a story to tell. I didnt come saying i have this whole story i need to impart to you.

I took a different approach to trump and tried to listen to what his supporters were saying and focus on what he was doing. My take on him that he was a Brilliant Media manipulator who was perfectly suited to play on the weaknesses of the american political media and that turned out to be true. I wish i had stuck to my guns. Later on in the book i didnt believe he would be president. Host the day afte
I want the actor to do his best. Thats not the say im going to leave the movie and act as his friend. Maybe during the course of the movie, with mr. Putin, i felt like i was keeping him interested. I was making him think, and about everything, across the board, about whats going on in the world today, and i think he said some very pregnant things about the United States and about russia.
