is the day to free leonard peltier leonard peltier matters.people care and they get that text and you can go on to the website and. you can say the same thing and you can call them and you can let them know whatever you do, don't remain silent. silence is the worst thing that can happen. it's it's not to say thank you to speakers today for sharing your stories. some of the things that i heard tonight, i heard for the first time, but also i'm reminded that. in 1975, during or just prior to the shootout, oglala, the senate select committee, called the church committee, was investigating the cia the nsa, the fbi and the u.s. military and its role in surveilling suppressing social movements in the united states. and it was known as a church committee. and for whatever reason, they didn't investigate the u.s. military or. the fbi's role in suppressing surveilling the american indian movement. and with what we know now with for foya documents through freedom of information act two months prior to the shootout at oglala, there was an internal memoran

stew leonard's president and ceo, stew leonard jr. of you not on the east coast, stew leonard's is an institution. stew the, why are people still paying super high prices at the cash register? >> well, lizzie, you know, i think -- first of all, we see a little easing with the cpi coming up. but, you know, basically you have a lot of costs that have increased right now like labor, for instance, you know? at stew leonard's we've had to raise our starting rates, we're paying $17 an hour right now to get people. so, you know, a lot of those costs you have to pass on a little bit. can can also you've had a lot of weather issues out west. i talked to one of our ranchers yesterday, and he said the drought is really hard, i mean, the cows and the cattle need grass to grow. and what's tough right now is they're not growing the grass, so they've cut down their herd sizes about 10%. they're like decade lows right now. that all leads to the supply and demand issue. supply side on meat right now, demand is up, obviously, prices will be up a little

here's leonard leo on that luxury fishing trip. he's the guy in the center of that photo holding the fish in his left hand on the right side. remember this painting depicting crow and justice clarence thomas, the guy on the left, second to the left with the steepled fingers is leonard leo. mr. leo refused to answer questions about the fishing trip but issued a statement lam baiting the reporting on the ethical lapses and says in part, quote, we all should wonder whether this recent rash of propublica stories questioning the integgy of only conservative supreme court justices is reeling in more dark money from billionaires by rupper stamping their disorder and highly cultureal practices. a senior editor for slate writes about the court, quote, the hilarity of hearing about dark money from woke billionaires from the guy who was connecting unwoke billionaires to justices it's amazing the level of projection, end quote. all right, what's left to do except talk to dahlia lithwick about this. dahlia, good to see you. thank you for being

you know, leonard leo has a huge, big dollar donor support base.e sprawling gop primary race, but he has praised governor desantis and, you know, certainly been advising him in his choices down in florida, poppy. >> you know, part of the fascinating part of this article, the story you've got, it really reveals the tight relationships that developed between desantis, leonard leo and supreme court justice thomas, some of which traces to the federalist society dinner. how is leo being as his way the go-between between desantis and thomas? >> certainly. leonard leo is at the center of so much when it comes to what happens with the judiciary federally and at the state level. he is known clarence thomas since 1990 here in washington. and he has long known governor desantis also since governor desantis was at harvard law school and in the federalist society. and at this 2020 florida federalist convention, you know, saw there governor desantis introducing clarence thomas. afterward they go to a private dinner at the steakhouse. leonard leo told me, that's

leonard? i have one quick question, if that's okay. what would your one piece of advice be for anybody, really, but especially young people, and especially young girls who are looking to get into maybe publishing or any other kind of business, but they really don't see themselves represented and mentioned that you are where a very small group of especially black women abolitionist. and so just what piece of advice would give. okay. well, certainly, you know, in this industry, it's not very diverse so it's easy to not find someone that looks like you, if you will. but there are some, i would say certainly in turn figure out, you know, is very broad and falls media. so what you think of publishing like what kind of stories you want to tell. for us we do mostly pieces, faith based content. so if you are looking for something like that, know certainly reach out to us. we can point you in the right direction. but there's so many different genres that are represented. so the best opportunity, internships and just finding your own style as we

. >> your letter points out to the chief something he should already know, that leonard leo, when hes wife, was part of an amicus brief to the supreme court in a case that justice thomas ruled on. justice thomas did not recuse himself from a case involving the man who was paying his wife. >> yes. and that is one of a number of allegations. leonard leo had his fingerprints all over this supreme court and many cases that appeared before the supreme court but we had recent allegations of clarence thomas, sorry, justice alito taking a private plane because apparently the seat would have otherwise gone on used and not disclosing that, which is a violation of the rules. so we are asking, in addition to an independent investigative body, to also implement an ethics council that can oversee the disclosures that the justices are making to ensure that they are also following the law. the point of this is to essentially call out justice thomas, sorry, chief justice roberts, rather, and say, listen, you have made a point of saying that the supreme court has its own ethics rules, a statement of e

host: i want to jump in a point that we are showing a picture of those that were on the trip leonard leo center in 2008 wit the guide and the gas but please contin guest: i can't recall the entire question. host: maybe it will come to you. let's go to fill in long island, new york, independent. caller: good morning. i thought c-span did a great job uncovering the hearings and they had the three panelists there with the young lady in the middle and the professor from hofstra at the time. i think they should be held to the same as district court judges about recusing themselves and reporting what they are earning and who's giving them gifts. you go back up little further in history and the only thing that was important on that hearing was have private interests get involved in the lobby to push the support dish supreme court justices on the supreme court. if we go back to the obama administration, right after site sotomayor was appointed,, how much influence did he have about sotomayor being appointed and if we go further about recusing themselves, the supreme court justice kagan was a

the language is very similar to leonard leo's language here.ng on justices and their ethics, you're there by damaging the court. as journalists, that doesn't apply anywhere else. and where else, it's holding people to account. somehow, with the supreme court, if you report on them in a negative way, you're damaging the institution. >> it's classic shoot the messenger. this is all of those of us that -- the model of sobriety and seriousness that we weren't seeing in the floor of the house. we're not trying to take down the court. abide by the rules all justice alito needed to do was disclose. if he had disclosed -- >> he didn't have to. he could've taken everything that was going to do it. he just needed to disclose it. >> he can't. there's a whole fight going on about whether this plane was a facility for purposes of the statute. he saying that the plane was a facility which is clearly wrong. the fact is, when they say that justice ginsburg travels, and justice breyer traveled, we know that because they disclosed the travel. they disclosed to.

>> leonard, yes. >> jimmy: is that his real name, leonard? >> he did. >> jimmy: in the movie he arrives in a helicopter. >> i'm hoping he does it again tonight. >> jimmy: that seems very lenny kravitz to me. >> yes, it is. he is perfectly cast. i cannot wait for you guys to see this movie. he plays j. lo's ex-boyfriend. he flies into her wedding in a helicopter. here's something, like, i should tell you guys. when we were in the dominican republic filming this movie, the actors all lived together in a house. we lived together in a house. often you're put up in your own house or a hotel. we lived together in a house. >> jimmy: how many people? >> like, nine of us. >> jimmy: who was in the house? >> we're talking lenny, we're talking sonia braga, we're talking coolidge, selena, cheech. i mean, j. lo -- j. lo was down the beach in, like, a castle. [ laughter ] as she should be. >> jimmy: sure. >> she's the king. as she should be. but you know, we ate all our meals together, we spent our weekends together. >> jimmy: wow. >> it was like -- like we

wimbledon continues with american fonts to y'all both dashing the hopes of german late bloomer, yon leonard stuff, initiative guard, find all that and more and our sports. find the honda him out. welcome to the program to us secretary of state antony blinking is in beijing on the highest level diplomatic visit between the 2 countries in nearly 5 years. the state department says the stress, the need to keep communication channels open, to avoid any potential miscalculations blinking intended to visit beijing in february. but the trip was canceled after chinese 5 balloon was spotted over the united states and show that both powers have set their interested instability. in the face of increasing tensions over taiwan dw, as china analysts clifford kernan, gave us this assessment of a success between of the talks between the 2 rival powers, candid and constructive. that's how us secretary of state is anthony blinking described his talks, which on his foreign minister chin, gung in beijing at the start of his 2 day visits. certainly the read that was more positive than expected. the prospect said

and also, used leonard leo to use nominees for the florida supreme court from ron desantis, and so he of in the center of all of that, and leonard leo has not said who he is going to support in the sprawling gop side, but he has long advised governor desantis, and he says he admires the approach to the judiciary and on, that clarence thomas' approach to the law, and anti-lgbtq and anti-press has mirrored what ron desantis has done down in the state in florida. >> it is good to see you, joan. thank you so much for that. sara? >>> today, former new jersey governor chris christie is expected to announce that he is going to join the gop race for president. he is joining a very crowded field. tomorrow, mike pence and north dakota governor doug burgum is expected to announce. we are joined by gloria borger. it has been a minute since i have been able to talk to you, and you had a conversation with some of christi's e's folks and what are they telling you? >> well, i spoke to a senior adviser close to him, and i asked what is his lane, and the answer was chris' lane is going through trump. t

i was like ok leonard. you are all right. you know you can always come back when you need to. >> so young people in particular need that safe space defined out about others and find out about themselves. librarians have been called the feisty fighters for freedom. they have t-shirts. tracy hall who is the executive director of the american library association was just named one of time magazine's most influential people of 2023. because she talks about library access as an equity issue. and you have to have the informed citizenship, that's why those institutions were built. i have to quote something. not word for word, but alberto bagwell and his history greeting has a chapter on forbidden reading. and the start of the chapter has a photograph of a woman who you could tell she is african-american, she might recently have been a slave and she has a book. and he says in their as tyrant slaveowners and dictators and other illicit holders of power have always known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule. if you cannot preven

. >> and got spooked when the security alarm sounded police lieutenant brian leonard says it was the second attempted big coin machine theft in town in 2 weeks. although headlines about cryptocurrencies sinking value have dominated the industry in recent months. police say machines like these are still attractive to thieves. there's a perception that exists that bitcoin atm's are going to be stocked with when you compared to a traditional cash atm. people are making withdrawals generally from an atm in a bitcoin machine. >> people are making deposit in there converting to cryptocurrency in transfer. their police say this crime is commonly uncommon. thieves typically target traditional atm's. >> but with the growth of bitcoin and more of them showing up in businesses, thieves have grown interest doesn't happen frequently. >> but it we have had instances of it and throughout the bay area, there have been several, yes, last month. the suspect field to steal a bitcoin atm at a laundromat a few blocks away from the liquor score in the process briefly cut the power and phone lines off to b

and that was sam galindo and the individual who orchestrated that maneuver was leonard leo. and when the billionaire saw what he could, paul, i think the ration and when did a hard year, and we got the federalist society list. so we got the 3 trump drugs years and we got the blocking of garland and we got the rest of the show. and one of the interesting data points out there, senator, is that in 2021. public confidence in the supreme court. was it 36 percent? it's not a great number. it happened to be bigger than public confidence in the congress for the presidency, but it is collapsed in 2022 to 25 percent of down 11. and this is all before the revelations that we've seen now, and i'm just interested in, can you blame the american people of saying, we're looking at our institutions and think we don't trust them anymore. certainly as to the courts. and frankly, this influence of dark money since citizens united, you know, the special interest. you can write $5000000000.00 objects into politics and create this or, or of influence around the course. that's something for americ

crucially, leonard leo, head of the federal society -- oh there he is again. he's a common thread.pictured here, remember this painting of crow and thomas and the rest hanging out? he's second from the left in this painting. depicting one of thomas's many visits to crows upstate new york resort. and both stories involved ritzy, glamorous gifts from right-wing billionaires with an enormous obvious ideological and in some cases material interest before the court. it is obvious, apparent to everyone, that these relationships, trips such as these, are a form of soft lobbying. and anyone with any sense, you don't even have to be a lawyer, but as a supreme court justice should have, would understand. why are they taking me on this lavish trip to go fish for king salmon? well, me? you would understand that and you would either not go along with it, or at a minimum, you would disclose it. once again, we know that is not happening here because these justices view themselves apparently at least as existing above the law. and certainly above the norms and rules that guide the other members of

leonard, ready? ready. go.(humming "saber dance") (continue humming "saber dance") (buzzer sounds) damn it. i slipped. too bad. you know the rules of secret agent laser obstacle chess. leonard died again, sheldon. you're up. despite my deep love of chess, lasers and aerosol disinfectant, i must forfeit. why? because it's almost 11:00. so? so, penny has a "don't knock on my door before 11:00 or i punch you in the throat" rule.

. >> senator whitehouse, the hub of all that activity is a man by the name of leonard leo.p with justice alito and pulsing are. he is quickly becoming a larger household name. he is a household name in conservative circles. is there a way to curb what he does? >> yes, but first we have to understand, so we need to ask questions about things like the contract of his public relations company with justice thomas. so that one justice thomas sells his book, or when leonard leo organizes billionaires to buy 1000 copies of his book, the royalties go straight to justice thomas's pocket, nobody has looked at a. we need to understand that the and what has resulted from it. we need to understand how is that leonard leo got into the pain with harlan crow and with justice thomas. there is an operation that is going on here, where we have seen a couple of flashes of evidence about it, but we really need to have a complete understanding of it, and at the moment, it's the chief justice who is obstructing the investigation. >> senator, can we talk about chief justice john roberts? are you s

this name leonard did not change there bother.mad . and the name of the magician came from the army from the surname , colleagues took it there, so that it would be easier, yes, it is to respond. there, that's how it went. mm, after the army , they began to call maga there, and so he was muhammad. well, now muhammad well served for colleagues there for close acquaintances so maga and you remember cyril but and most importantly, when you opened fire, uh, they started shooting at you in response and mmm. you were also injured. well, on there, they worked out the indicated targets of the opponents with the aim; from that side, the opponents opened fire on the second company. well, on the other mouth, where he served at that time, a comrade, a senior lieutenant. they opened fire on him. i reported to the platoon commander, where the platoon commander gave the command to destroy the target. so, i worked on them and destroyed the target not only there, i didn’t sit down with a circle of 50 m , i took it to be sure that the target was de

leonard leo did it and invited alito to come with. cases about his hedge fund came before the court at least ten times and alito never recused himself including 2014 including a battle between singer's hedge fund and argentina. alito voted with the 7-1 majority in singer's favor which had a $2.4 billion payout. this only adds to a pattern of questionable dealings by the court's questionable dealings. there's clarence thomas who propublica exposed. justice neil gorsuch sold property to the head of a law firm who had business before the court and didn't disclose the buyer's identity. when propublica reached out to alito, he declined. instead he sent it to "the wall street journal" which in a journalistically confounding move ran it as a rebuttal op ed the day before the propublica report was published. in it he claimed he wasn't aware paul singer was involved despite the cases heavily covered and saying they spoke on no more than a handful of cases and never talked about any issue before the court, comments which i suppose were meant to

so singer, the billionaire, was invited on this trip by leonard leo. he's the long time leader of the federalist society who helped hand pick trump's list of supreme court nominees. and singer was a major donor to leo. he invited him on this trip, and then he asked if leo and alito and fly on his private jet. and so, you know, there's a lot we still don't know about the genesis of this trip, but all roads so far point to alito. he's the only connection between these various prominent guests on the trip. it was a trip with the just that leo had just played a key role in confirming to the supreme court, a judge that leo had clerked for, and then two major donors to leo's network of political groups. >> so leo has responded to your article. he said, quote, i would never presume to tell justices what to do, and no objective and well-informed observer of the judiciary honestly could believe that they decide cases in order to cull favor with friends or in return for a free plane seat or a fishing trip. leonard leo's incredulous that someone might take someth

luke leonard and manuel cardona are not avid cyclists but have found joy in training, connecting, and growing closer to other riders as part of a pre-summer tradition. >> the first year that i met manuel, i told him we should do the ride together. i think he was skeptical. he did not have a road bike at the time. >> reporter: that changed as the two connected on a deeper level. not through the tech world they work in but through the aids annual cycle, the pilgrimage that takes them on the road for hundreds of miles during pride month. >> he got a road bike and got involved and now he wants to do it every year. it is a blast. >> reporter: luke and manuel along with thousands of other riders together raise millions, hopping onto bicycles, trekking their way from san francisco to los angeles in seven days, camping along the way and testing their limits. >> passion of the people encourages you to do much better. >> reporter: some ride for loved ones who died of aids. luke and manuel find motivation in helping support the biggest fundraiser for the san francisco aids foundation and the los
