buckley jr. welcomed allen ginsberg, this famous beat generation poet from the united states. allen ginsberg is somebody that your father knew and somebody that you met when you were here in new york. take a look at this clip of allen ginsberg reciting a poem on the original version of this program in 1968. >> breath trembles in white daisies by the roadside. heaven breath and my own symmetric airs wavering through antlered green fern drawn in my navel. same breath as breathes through capel-y-ffn, sounds of aleph and aum through forests of gristle, my skull and lord hereford's knob equal, all albion one. >> i kind of like that. [ applause ] >> he is truly amazing. he's not a normal poet. he's a sou he's representing the soul of the intellectual world in america and is so beautiful. >> well, it was ginsberg who told you, "you need to write down your memories." >> yes! >> and the first thought is always the best, which has led perhaps to "1000 years of joys and sorrows." do you see more joys or more sorrows for your son, ai lao? >> what i'm -- i'm -- i'm satisfied by, if i look

. >> because ruth ginsberg and anthony kennedy, particularly ginsberg, of course, was very clear.8. she didn't think the second amendment gives individuals any rights that she thought it applied only to militias, which had been the position of the supreme court for decades. the replacement of barrett for ginsberg is enormously important in the second amendment area as it is in so many. because she at least as far as we know believes in expansive individual rights for gun holders. and for individuals and the right to bear guns and you know what is so important about this is as you point out, if the supreme court rules in favor of the plaintiffs here this could redraw the gun laws in all 50 states because the supreme court's decision about the constitution apply everywhere. and that's why this case is such a big deal, even though it only applies to one specific law in new york state. >> yeah, listen. you hear all this talk about state rights, often from conservatives. this is a case where they don't have the right to regulate weapons when there are a large support there. always good

the other lecturers included, justice scalia, vice president cheney, ken starr, edith jones, doug ginsberg, and justice neil gorsuch, former attorney general bill barr and don mcgahn. that brings us to today's lecture. the series has been remarkably sensible -- successful for 20 years. years before that they held a barbecue for our student chapter presidents, which drew prominent attorneys in addition to the students and help encouraged presidents to build our chapters and through that build a society and encourage many more to be involved. i am sure some of those chapter presidents are probably in the audience today. then there is also ted's strong and consistent defense of free speech including explaining to reporters doing national stories on the federal society that the federal society unlike the american bar association never told ted what to think. i could give you a lot of ted's bio but i think we want to hear from ted. you have done a great deal for us and having this election in barbara's honor is a highlight. we are so delighted to have you do the 20th lecture. ted. [applause] >>

. >>> let's discuss this more now with cnn analyst ben ginsberg. ben, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> so bannon appears on monday. what's your expectation of what will be said and done, and how soon after, then, would he actually be testifying? >> well, that's the great question for going forward. so he'll appear and, i think, say very lit the actual court proceeding. this is likely to be a trial without a jury before judge nichols in the district court for the district of columbia. judge nichols has great leeway when to schedule that trial, and that will really determine how quickly this moves forward. of course, it's a case that's likely to be appealed on up to the court of appeals and supreme court. on parallel track with the trump executive privilege claim for the documents in the national archive. there will be a lot of interplay. >> that's interesting, that parallel. trump and his attorneys have now gotten their issue right before the appellate court, and it will be what? november 30th before a decision might be rendered. if it means

and lord ginsberg tweeted there's a lot of concern about the prime minister, it's just not working. cabinet needs to wake up and demand serious changes, otherwise it will keep getting worse. if they don't insist, he just won't do anything about it. the opposition labor party said no one was laughing because the joke is not funny anymore. meanwhile, business leaders who attended were left to consider the speech they heard. when chief executive told the guardian it was interesting they asked a group of business leaders if they traveled six hours down the world to peppa pig world and then talked about leveling up. interesting is one word. as we reported in the last couple of weeks, the fate of the chinese tennis player, peng shuai has been drawing attention. it's created a standoff between the international olympic committee and the woman's player association. the player disappeared after making sexual assault allegations against a chinese minister. the ioc minister held a video chat with her. they say the player insisted she was safe and well. she said she was gratel for the conrn, bu

commissioners, thank you for yourservice as well mister ginsberg and thank you for the opportunity toyou today . >> tank you. next speaker.>> caller: can you hear me? >> clerk: yes, we can hear you. >> caller: i am rachelmartin , executive director of the california state parks foundation. a former elected member of the san francisco board of education, 23 year resident of san francisco's richmond district and proud member of the botanical gardens . i'm calling to voice my strong support for the proposal. it makes a huge amount of sense to combine these horticultural sites and visitorattractions under one roof to realize operational efficiencies and better serve and engage the communities . i dothink that an organization to manage the entity that the botanical gardens . i'veknown them both professionally and personally for over a decade . it hasbrought the organization investment , numbers and energy and i have the utmost confidence in her professional expertise and ability to lead this new organization. i want to highlight the botanical gardens long relationship and educating the chi

hello richard ginsberg and you're at the listening post where we don't cover the news. we cover the way the news is covered. here are the media stories we're examining this week. his name is carr, he's as big as they come in the indian film industry. we look at the drug bust that tells a story of the conflict between the authorities there and hollywood, facebook and the continuing fall out from that whistleblower. a consortium of news outlets is now on the company's case here at se alarm fall the hotline in the mediterranean, that refugees are using to get their stories out. and just scroll, you scroll, we all scroll. what's it going to take to get us off our phone? on paper, it looked like a routine drug bust, a group of 20 somethings, partying on a cruise ship off the coast of moon, by charged with possession and trafficking. it was anything but routine among those arrested was audience con, the son of one of india's and the world's biggest movie stars. shuttle con, the circumstances suggest this case was never just about the son or the narcotics allegedly involved. t

hello, i'm richard ginsberg and you're at the listening post where we dig into the coverage and look at how news is reported. here are the media stories we're examining this week. so dan's flirtation with democracy ends in a qu, they top how far will the, who to go to control what we know about the story. the journalists arrested in the aftermath of the qu, in me and mar, finally get their day in court. the jury is still out on the justice system that a far right journalist turned presidential contender, frances eric. so moore and the t v. news channel behind his rise and the met averse is the next frontier, the mash up that exposes the fine line between face books attempts at p r. it's completely immersive and parody. this past wednesday, november 17th was supposed to be the day that sudan, after more than 30 years under various forms of dictatorship, returned to civilian rule. that never happened just 3 weeks before the country's military was due to return to its barracks, handing over its share of power to civilians. the generals deposed the transitional government. they had been

hello richard ginsberg and you're at the listening post where we dig into the coverage and look at how news is reported. here are the media stories we're examining this week, climate change, news organizations, fossil fuel companies, and audiences all need to do better on the story that could mean the end of us. ethiopia enters a state of emergency and the government's controlling of journalism, there has turned aggressive violence against muslims filmed by the perpetrators, the latest ugly trend among india's hindu vigilantes. plus the chance roaring in downtown pale al jazeera turns $25.00. we looked back at a quarter century of a different kind of news coverage. we begin with the biggest story on the planet, which is about the planet and climate change. a topic that somehow still doesn't get the news coverage it deserves. there are plenty of news cameras at the cop $26.00 climate conference taking place right now in scotland. our focus is on the coverage at other times when world leaders aren't gathering. among the issues, the privileging of perspectives and interests of wealthy nat

so to the language low, i'm richard ginsberg and you're at the listening post where we don't cover the news . we cover the way the news is covered. here are the media stories we're examining this week. heathy opium is staring down the barrel at a possible civil war. there is not nearly enough news and information which is how the authorities like it. you will not come into this building and insult me. a shouting match between a journalist and the greek prime minister at issue the treatment of refugees at sea . back from the brain still on the air, the polish 24 hour news channel that remains in the government's crosshairs and the summit that may prove to be our last chance to avoid climate arm. a get skiing, honest would mean admitting that we're failing. the internet comics who unlike our politicians, are telling the story straight to africa's 2nd most populous country, ethiopia is entering a 2nd year in a state of war. it is a conflict about power pitting, prime minister ob eoc med and his allies on one side and the to gripe people's liberation front, the t p l f. on the other. accor

the first goes all the way back to when i was in the village with people like allen ginsberg and peter and ted jones and any number of other musicians who was a part of the whole greenwich village crowd. then i came back and stayed for about six months from 78 to 79. in 1985, i arrived here after struggling to write a novel in margarita off the coast of venezuela. that never materialized but i made it back to new york, and that was 1985. one year later i was at marie's house in charles harris was there. we had a discussion about his dream of putting this will amistad thing together, so we talked about the word, and i told him how much i was in touch with amistad, being the spanish word for friendship, and of course when the film came out, i had already been pretty much grilled on the history of that mutiny of the 1839 and the whole film that followed after that. at that time we talked about it and figured we need to have a publication out there that all opened opportunities for aspiring black writers so i said maybe there is an opportunity for me but i've already been hooked up with a

the extension of justice barrett you were so close to justice ginsberg. i know that you respected her on the law and respected so much about her life. where did you end up coming down on her decision not to retire. >> well, i think that the worst that you can say is -- by that, i mean, she assumed that hillary clinton would go. so did all the rest of us. certainly the entire establishment assumed the same thing. you know, that did not happen and had she managed to hang on for another four months, the story we are talking about would have had a very different clarity. my feeling is had she retired, started telling her to retire in the beginning of president obama's second term or even towards the end of his first term, i think it was, we would have missed the entirety, just about the entirety of the notorious rpg. most of her career, she was a consensus seeker. not always a consensus builder. her belief was, speak in a modulated tone. don't go bigger than you have to. just try to bring other people along. even try to work. you can learn through him. maybe

the first time goes all the way back to when i was hanging in the villages with people like allen ginsberg and peter orlovsky, and ted jones and any numberer of other musicians who was a part of the whole greenwich village crowd. that was back in 1959-1960. then i came. back and stayed fo sixx months, 1970, '79. in 1985, i arrived here after struggling toft write a novel o the coast of venezuela. that never materialized. but i did make it back to new york. and that was in 1985. one year later, i was at marie's house and charles harris was there. and we had a discussion then about his dream of putting this whole amistad thing together. we talked about the words. i told him how much i was in touch with amistad, being the spanish word for "friendship." and of course when the film came out, i had already been pretty history of on the that revolt, the mutiny of 1839, and joseph cinque and the whole film that followed after that. but at that time we talked about it and he figured that we need to have a publication out there that really gave opportunities for aspiring black writers out there. so

. >> ben ginsberg, the republican party election attorney who has battled with democrats on many re-countsere watching. >> when i first heard the press conference, i said, oh, my god, can that really be true? because if there was nothing there, they would not just be making it up and then they went through the entire press conference and i sort of remember looking out the window and saying they just made all that up. >> they did. this campaign memo from six days before the press conference first reported by "the new york times" says dominion has no company ties to venezuela. dominion and one of its former employees would later sue giuliani and powell for more than $1 billion. a court document filed by powell's lawyer said, quote, no reasonable person would conclude the statements were truly statements of fact. someone should tell that to the republican national committee because they still have powell's lies in its social media feed. in a deposition for another related case, giuliani said he got the information about a former dominion employee having antifa ties from social media. >> those

2020 after the death of justice scalia and president from not getting to fill that seat and after ginsberg from getting to fill that seat and those to the inconsequential appointments that distorted some things that naturally should have been the other way . president biden i think terry properly wants to spend no political capital on this anytime soon. he has created a commission that's filled with over 30. brilliant largely legal academics who have been talking and studying and writing e'and there's a range of proposals ranging from statutes to constitutional amendments to retirement schemes and rotations that would try and depoliticize the court. i think that could be done cewithout a constitutional amendment . in other words of justice serves for good behavior under article 3 which is interpreted to mean for life but that doesn't necessarily mean a right to sit on supreme court cases until one expires. so after a period of time it could be structured that justices rotate into service on circuit courts or become a senior bench waiting in reserve in the event of a recusal for something s

the point of ginsberg and i think i'm probably repeating myself here but she would die down the hall from leslie khamenei said that he was going to do this and i want to get somebody close to bob dole and close my neighbor that was his way of kind of i don't agree with her. philosophy. the simple can you kind of moving along i said sure. and she did and we did and she had 96 votes. in the filibuster and then we had prior next. when you him and we worked with him and he was a nice guy, he was a liberal but the constitution gives the president the right to qualified to make the appointment so he got 97 votes i think. dishes how much things have changed in 15 years. >> that is leads to a huge question and you know as we have been working on this and i thought 30 years ago would you look at north korea or go back to 76, two guys from the midwest republican party and midwest base and was conservative a kind of a mainstream conservative and economic conservative and i had a healthy skepticism about the government. it was not libertarian and it wasn't reflectively hostile and recognizes a l

. >> ben ginsberg, the republican party attorney was watching. >> when i first heard the press conferencei said, oh, my god, can that really be true? because if there was nothing there, they would not just be making it up and then they went through the entire press conference and i sort of remember looking out the window and saying they just made all that up. >> they did. this campaign memo from six days before the press conference first reported by the new york times said dominion has no company ties to venezuela. dominion sued for more than a billion dollars. there was no reasonable person that would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact. someone should tell that to the republican national committee because they still have powell's lies in its social media feed. in a deposition for another related case, giuliani said is he got the information about a former dominion employee having antifa ties from social media. >> those social media posts get, facebook, instagram, twitter -- >> social media postings. >> or something else. i think it was facebook. >> he also admitte

her new book "justice on the brink" the death of route bader ginsberg, and 12 months that changed theis so brilliant and brilliantly timed. first, tell me what sort of animated and pushed you through to get this out now as they're about to enter a highly consequential term. >> yes. i started writing it shortly after amy barrett was confirmed and sitting on the court. the focus is a month by month chronicle of the amazing last term with three trump appointed justices. as you suggest, it kind of sets the stage for the major decisions that are coming down this term. it was totally their choice to take the abortion case. there was nothing that said they had to take it. in fact, it was the kind of case the court ordinarily wouldn't take. they've taken a major case on religion in the public school, sending of public money into religious schools, so they set us up for quite a term. >> so interesting. these hot button issues didn't arbitrarily land there, they grabbed them. i want to read something from the book. 2021 was the term the fourth wall disappeared. how could the fourth wall have si
