in his early years working for attorney general danforth missouri.g for reagan. the fastest journeynd back. it's a complicated story in the book and in the film. once it becomes a public use detected by that media needs saddled with the left and that reaches a peak or a first peekhe at least with that contentious confirmation hearing and then on to the court. we tell that story it's a film on the book or should say we let clarence thomas tell that story progressed she referred that in the book is the radical years? >> yes. >> you also bring up a theme or he brings up the theme of circumstances controlling it rather than you controlling circumstances. dequickset is something. >> oh well, he would say that he was blessed by having this core upbringing by his grandfather and these nuns. he would not have been who he is without them. he is consulate referencing how important they are to him. >> wrote the film talk about his grandfather and the book, with the pictures of the two of them. i think he feels he was blessed in his circumstances. other people m

that plays out in over your law school and his early years working for for then attorney general danforth in missouri. and finally he ends up work voting for and working for reagan and that's his journey back and we tell that story and it's a complicated story in both in the book and in the film, but then once he becomes a public conservative black man. he is attacked by the media and he has his battles with the left and that reaches a peak or a first peak at least it is very contentious confirmation hearing and then on through today on the court and we tell that story and it's dramatic story in the film in the book or i should say. we let clarence thomas tell that story. and you refer to that in the book as the radical years. yeah, but you also. bring up the theme or he brings up the theme. of circumstances controlling you rather than you controlling circumstances. and that's something to be avoided he says. well in fact you know, he i think what he i think he would say that. he was blessed by having this core upbringing by his grandfather and these nuns. i mean, he would not have been w

s. conducted more than 200 flights expelling more than 25000 haitians in protest, danforth resigned his position as the by to live ministration, special envoy for haiti, calling the deportations in humane and counterproductive, were shaming people back and where anybody can get killed today. just rushed to him in the wrong place, was hung them kids back there with them. they don't have a place to stay. is that humane? is that civilized is? are those american printables? what it is shocking this time is that the biding administration has been a narrative that they were going to be different. the u. s. government did not hear silent cleans from thousands of haitians due to a policy 1st established on the president. trump. title $42.00 is a public health order that uses the covered 19 pandemic as a pretext for deportations. without hearing claims for asylum. the violin of ministration policy de worse haitian seeking safety, an asylum has been one that is by elating the human rights of those people quoting need of international protect title 42 is a public health authority and not an immigr

s. conducted more than 200 flights expelling more than 25000 haitians in protest, danforth resigned his position as the biden administration special envoy for haiti, calling the deportations in humane and counterproductive. and there is a process, we're just not by not giving us the claims of asylum. due process, we're breaking international lawn convention. this is a to price reported that out of $84.00 nationalities requesting asylum over recent 3 year period. patients were dead last in their acceptance rate. you have to wonder . going back to what president thought mentioned we want people from norway, we will have rule eyes a broad hair. but we do not want people from countries like havi in many african countries. so what i really understood is that trump said it by the improved it the united states also reports people who are legal residence, but have been convicted of a crime. some of them are in prison again, this time in haiti and can't get out fort light, obtain videos from inside the national penitentiary, that detail the squalid conditions. oh oh, the un secretary general con

bush wanted dan john danforth from missouri but ultimately thought that exchange was the way to go. because i will say one more thing. if we're thinking this as sort of a social network. again, think about how we can talk about that from methodological process and how we study presidential transitions. social network theory might be something that we could work with, just looking at key figures whether it's clear johnson, dick cheney, look at who found themselves in the bush administration and these are all decisions that were made during transitions. there are people who are known commodities. in this instance there are people who are known to the bush family, many have worked with h. w. bush and we can talk about the fact that john roberts and brett kavanaugh were players in this litigation as well. they found themselves on the supreme court, so i think there's something to be said about in transitions about the social network aspect of a mantra you with study that, necessarily. that is definitely a lesson you could take from modern transitions. >> great, thank you. david. >> than
