i mean, charles dickens is still probably the most prominent rate of the visit, an american prison and to say something is really shameful. you know, we want to correct that. so we want to give writers opportunities to come inside and see what it's like to be inside of prison, but maybe more importantly, to have those serving time see more possibility because you go to any college in this country, you have dozens of speakers coming in every month, if not every week. so we want to create of that for the people in prison they can sets more possibility and what have you heard from some of the prisoners about these libraries. i actually have a letter, you know, right here. i mean, people are excited people are excited about the book. i remember time i was talking to a group of guys, we had the freedom library with them and the guy tells me he says, i never heard of baskin's, i never heard of this book. but, you know. i'm italian and i've been locked up for more than 25 years and my family is from this small region of italy that this book is about. i know it's a novel, but it feels i'm meet

charles dickens. figgy pudding. what is that? who has that? they used to be everywhere. you'd find them at, at, at shops and grocery stores. of course, in your neighborhood, from door to door. i mean, at first, when you're a kid and you see carolers come, you're like, oh, this is nice. and there's a little snow outside. they're singing christmas songs. they seem really, really happy. then you realize those neighborhood people are drunk. and they're on the best bar crawl in the neighborhood. is that mr. adam berry stumbling? that's always a good idea, probably to have a drink or two beforehand. there's a social awkwardness with caroling. you see that house down the road that we've never been to and we have no idea who lives inside there. you knock on the door and you see the guy who's just had the worst day of his life. he's like, really? you got to start with the deck, the halls. oh, geez. these are slurred voices of amateurs. and they go on and on, particularly as they do the 12 days of christmas. nothing against the song. it's wonderful. okay. but it's also 9 minutes a

addition of of mice and men among its contents and that little book spoke to me with a directness charles dickens and thomas hardy could not match. steinbeck's's advocacy was in the imperfect, less racially inclusive than that of his contemporary carey mcwilliams, nonetheless it was heartfelt and genuine and on balance it served as a force for good and it still can. as a transplant from another country who sought to find home in various places across america for 35 years i'm drawn steinbeck as someone who understood the attachment to place, i value his highlighting the ugly truth of how even the most recently arrived californians sometimes develop their own sense of belonging by dehumanizing even newer arrivals, a process of regionalism through reaction that lamentably remains alive and well across the west in america. i appreciate steinbeck as a chronicler of places celebrated the inherent decency and humanity of those on the fringes of society, the countercultural types, the sex workers who developed mentally challenged, i relish the irony of how -- help create a tourist attraction from the rus

now to the prosecutors, just like sbf, pretending like they're participating in a modern charles dickens novel where everyone is a caricature of themselves playing their own role. today the prosecutors puffed their chests at an optical illusion all the way down. >> tucker: you're blowing my mind. what's real? my children are real. this perrier is real. everything else seems fake. why not treat him like the january 6th defendants? like punish him, he seems like someone who committed the biggest financial crime in history. why would they want to be lenient on him? >> look, he bought a partial insurance policy, tucker. he didn't buy the full insurance policy, but the partial insurance policy was to be one of the good guys, advocating for responsible regulation, shelling out tens of millions of dollars of likely stolen money to the democratic party flaunting it to be one of the good guys. he pledged a billion. only ponied up $30 million to $40 million of that. it's the genteel the way the game is played. prosecutors rarely would have reached this deal without quite possibly proposing it toge

apparently the reason we associate so with christmas is because charles dickens grew up dunng becauseing that mini ice age when the thames froze over, when it snowed every christmas and so when he was writing all of his great novels, great victorian novels, particularly leigh writing a bit about scrooge and the rest of it , that was all set in his idea of his childhood. christmas is absolutely fascinating. let's just start again now. every christmas film there ever is , it christmas film there ever is, it has to have something for all of the things that charles dickens grew up that's some well, grew up with. that's some well, that's at least a theory that i read online. so i'm sure it's very, very true. but we've got more people writing it. yes. phil asked , will the train phil has asked, will the train strike be cancelled the strike be cancelled when the trains can't due to trains can't run due to snowfall? they paid snowfall? so they get paid for not working? operators not working? train operators should not to such a should not agree to such a situation . well i'm not quite situati

so when english writer charles dickens wrote a christmas carol, he describes a society that is divided between rich greedy misers and poor but generous people. the christmas tale tells the story of how one of these misers becomes a better man. thanks to ghosts that visit him. they make him realize that charity and generosity can save him from doom. his id, if taylor's home, he was giving readings of his tale in boston, paris, and in london, of course of christ. and people would rush to see him in paris. people described a huge line in front of the british embassy in the middle of winter, though, acre but people were in t is yet in boston. a wealthy businessman called fairbanks showed up and reading. after listening to the christmas story, read by the author himself. he decided to offer a turkey to each of his workers for christmas and gave them the day off to celebrate christmas law. it all happened. it wasn't a holiday at the time that it says, hey, daniel, hello, yes, formula english kimberly this present the diesel club concept in england is a very interesting one. not a lot of when

spirited with ryan ren nadal and will farrell on apple tv plus a take on the christmas carol charles dickensrs called the whale. i believe we were going to talk about that one as brendon frazier this is his comeback role he plays a character who is severely overweight. >> will: got to leave it right there, kevin. up against a hard commercial break. the whale, babylon, "avatar" 2. appreciate the reviews with yout more "fox & friends" coming up. the final days of winterfest are here. save now before they're gone. why are 93% of sleep number sleepers satisfied with their bed? maybe it's because you can gently raise your partner's head to help relieve snoring. so, you can both stay comfortable all night. the queen sleep number 360 c2 smart bed is only $899. save $200. only for a limited time. after years of chasing the big idaho potato truck... i finally caught it. oh man. always look for the grown in idaho seal. brian p g.o.p. push stalls $1.7 trillion spending package. >> carley: clock ticking toward a government shut down. >> one amendment preserve title 42. give us up or down vote. >> tyrann

and the altruism and the scores, they are pretending like they are participating in the modern charles dickense is a caricature of themselves playing their own role, and this was all about the prosecutors puffing their test at something that was an optical illusion all the way down. >> carley: can you imagine if he does flee? is under house arrest, he's got an ankle monitor, he's at his parents house. what do you think it? one of the factors as he was in the bahamas where he could have left to a country without extradition, and he didn't. >> brian: he was in that rancid prison. >> will: is an optical illusion. sbf raised all this money through the optical illusion of -- which they call it? no, no, no. it was due-gooderrism. affect of altruism is what they called it. he was going to give away everything he made. that's why he sold to potential investors. he called it a fact of altruism. it was all fake, because he was going to and did back to the money for luxury houses and things like that, but also donations to democratic politicians. now you have prosecutors doing the similar virtue signal,

now to the prosecutors, justicit like sbf, pretending like they're participating in a modern charles dickens novel. inwhere everyone is a caricaturn of themselves playing their own role. and this was all about today,puffed the prosecutors puffing their chest at something that was an optical illusion all the way down. >> but why not? illu my mind here.owin and i'm trying. i'm thinking like, what's real? well, my children are real. god , is real. ren ar >> this is real. but like, everything else seems fake. i haveerrier i to say. s fake but let me ask you why why not treat him like the january? six defendants want to like punish him? he seemsm,e like someone who committed the biggest financial crime in history. lenient on him?want to be wan lenient on him? a >> well, look, he bought a partial insurance policyll i created by the full insurancens policy, but the partial insurance policy bough t tht was goo to be one of the good guys advocating for effective altruism. , ting forand responsible regul, shelling out tens of millions of dollars of actually likely stolen money to theo democratic party
