Susan Harold Holzers is our second hour about your new book the president s versus press. While i invite people to find the first hour, for those who havent seen it, whats that the jist of your new book . Mr. Holzer the thesis is we may believe we are living through the most chaotic and unpleasant confrontational era ever between a president and the media. But in fact, its a long tradition in American Government and American Media history that president s and the press do not share the same interests and have been out war, and a sense, ever since george washington. Susan from the time you started this project, was it always it versus the press . Mr. Holzer im glad you asked. No. Originally it was the president s and the press. In my research about president kennedy, i found that he gave a very defensive speech in 1961 for the American Publishers Association in new york city. And during the speech he said, i wanted to call this speech the president versus the press because you are not a
Or for a fee or if its ended, but at least as an association lets talk about goats. The moment you remember and the stories youve never heard. Now when im driving, if i might have to come up from l. A. Or some, but i often listen to the monday night game and i know you in the the current goat. I never thought id see him outside in new england and formed a nice bond. And i think brady wrote the forward for this. Certainly, you know, i always thought it was joe montana or jim brown, walter, sweetness, payton but just bradys track record. Add to move him up to the top of the a. P. As the goat in football, in my eyes, your thoughts on him as a guy. And as the goat well hes easer great guy, hes a terrific man and you know its been my good fortune and im honored that he would put his name on my book and do that. And what he expressed in there. This is really grateful for and you know, just really makes you feel, you know, im humbled by it and its a wonderful thing really, denton. And he is,
Success, any tears for them. And he doesnt think if somebody does something well, even in his sport, that it somehow diminishes him. And that is so rare. And so hard to find in this day and age as a football player, you also recognizes that its his teammates and that he needs a team that there are 10 other guys who are out there playing with them. And if anybody has a pulling their weight and belichick used to say, doing their job, then he can succeed and do his job. So he gets all of the accolades, he is the goat, hes won 6 titles. I dont see anybody, certainly in my lifetime, probably ever catching that number and to have played in that many super bowls. Its astonishing, but the good news is, is he is everything that you would want him to be if you get to know him. So if you have a mental image in your head of what it should be, he meets an exceeds well listen, if you can see him as a, the key to his happiness, his self contentment, and his ability to live a full rich life comes from
John lennon . John lennon. John lennon was shot and killed tonight in new york city. An unspeakable tragedy. I said, do you realize what you have done here . And he said, i killed myself. He said, im john lennon. People came out here, singing beatles ballads. They just want to try to feel close to a man whom they say touched their lives. Thats how much love people had for john lennon. His music made our good times better. His music made our bad times at least livable. If he hadnt dreamed so beautifully, it wouldnt hurt so much. Here we are, 40 years later, talking about this man and this mans music. My role in society or any artist or poets role so to rye to express what we all feel, not as a preacher, as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. John, he was always a person that was ahead of the curve. His lyrics were always about the truth. I asked him at one point what his secret was for writing great songs. He said, you write the truth and you make it rhyme. It sort of dawned on me
Pizza. One stock serving up serious game thanks to leftovers the dow was up over 500 points the rally, driven in part by President Trump who made an about face on stimulus, putting aid back in play before the november election. So, can we expect this rally to continue you know what struck me about todays rally is that we what is that, mel that we closed nine points higher than when we closed yesterday. We are better off today hoping for piecemeal parts to the stimulus plan than yesterday i made it a point, albeit clumsy, that President Trump, in my opinion, is extraordinarily focused on the stock market. The administration has said it for years, the stock market is a report how well hes doing so for him to tweet something and then watch the dow jones g straight line, it had to be upsetting. I thoughi didnt think it wouldn six hours later, but we are here i think they have learned how to speak the language of the stock market to your point, nothing has changed, but here we are increment
