i'm back in the news again about why i left npr after three years. left because i didn't see that as quitting. there were a lot of member stations who were mad at me that i made that decision because they saw themselves as taking a chance on me. how do you quit on us? i kept this e-mail. ewe quit on us after we gave you a chance. i had my reasons for leaving. i thought i had done everything that i could do at npr. i'm back on public radio now. but it was time to move on from that particular thing. >> to retrain your brain, we argue. we're just two guys who work it through and no one should follow what we say is gospel. but there is a lot aftof ways, easiest and most important message is the first word, think. it is astonishing how easy we can go through the world. we live in a world where we can get by and be pretty happy. set aside a half hour or an hour to rethink the way you make decisions. the habits you have, the biases you may have. and if you think and come with a little bit of a blank slate. you would be willing to think like a child. >> awe

at npr they needed to do that. npr had a reputation of not being diverse in the coverage. they had to hire a vice president of diversity to adjust the news coverage a few years ago. i guess me comments is that ultimately the goal should be that we don't have to label these stories code switch stories. it is great they are mixed in whether morning edition throughout the day and the week and the stories are dropped in as much as when you go to the web that you have to look for them. maybe it is good that you look for them under a category. where feel like it is a race story. if you are liberal and progressive and interested in race issues, if you are a person of color you can go here. so i look forward to a day when we don't have to do that, but that we pitch stories and they get covered because they are important stories and they don't have to be labelled a certain way. and but i love the stuff that you are doing. i applaud you for that. >> thank you. >> if i can quickly respond. i totally hear you. what we are striving for at code switch we have the culture identity unit,

and i hope that they sooner than 25 years become a host at npr. and of "all things considered" the flagship show and not one of the side shows like "tell me more." it was odd to go back to npr at the reception. i wasn't expecting a red carpet. i wasn't expecting even a yellow carpet. they didn't give me any carpet. they didn't know who i was. this is the thing about diversity. we still have a fight. we still have a long way to go. when i was first in 1989 i thought this is going to be a break through. we have a lot of breaking through to do. now, the story i want to relate to, a short one. it's this may, may 3, my cousin stephen guillermo was murdered in san francisco. i didn't cover the initial story. i couldn't cover it. i was too close to it so i gave it to "the san francisco chronicle" and let them cover it. and then i took over. as a person who could do the story they stopped the story after the first day they talked about the law and the legal issues. they couldn't talk about the historical context which is what you can bring as an asian-ame

we're joined, or guests from npr and "adventure beat." you're not just selling unused space on unused planes. that's an easy concept. you actually have a fleet of planes. >> yes. yeah. >> so you're just an airline. >> well, not just an airline. we're a private jet carrier. >> who has a fleet of airlines, airplanes which make -- which carry people which makes you an airline. >> that's right. we're the fourth largest private jet charter company in the country, in our fifth year. we've got 21 airplanes that we fly across the country. very fuel efficient. we're the low-cost populist private jet company if you like. >> people -- >> you need to further explain because i was think, well, how do you make it lower cost. >> so, basically we start with technology. the airplanes we fly are inherently more efficient. we burn about 90 gallons an hour versus 300-plus like our competitors'. we fly them more ochften. we fly more efficiently, the southwest idea. we've doubled the market to 1/4 of 1%. >> is the airbus 320, the really big airplane. the effic

i listen to him on npr. greenway is a fantastic journalist. he was lamenting the newspaper injury and the glory days -- industry and the glory days and what it used to be. the old cranky editors. his definition, i believe. i am driving home and i'm thinking about tonight. man, this guy is depressing the hell out of me and i have to tell everybody there is a bright future for newspapers. as i was listening to this, the host of the npr show said, david, it has been a pleasure. i love your story. looking forward to talking about the book. we can continue this conversation online. we will talk a little bit more about it. or you could follow us on facebook. here are the ways in which you can comment on the story. it hit me. this is it. i am hearing the wringing of hands and the npr host says, conversation will continue on a different platform. it crystallized for me, that is what is unfolding. there is still a place, there will be a long-standing place for the print edition. we have to broaden the conversation. it is going to be something as comple

of the things that comes through in your book is that people who are bobos watch pbs and listen to npr. >> guest: yeah. well, i think bobos--and c-span, i should say, though it's more fun to make fun of pbs and npr than c-span. you don't have as much of a precious sensibility. but bobos are highly educated. that--that's the essence of the bobo, that the old protestant establishment were formed in the country club or in the cradle by the bloodlines. but the--the bobos went through the university system and consider themselves university people. that's why they turn everything into graduate school. and so the pbs and the npr, the--just as a fact, the people--they have an audience among the more highly educated. c-span: you say that there are nine million in this country making more than $100,000 a year. >> guest: yeah, and i'm des--i'm not describing the whole country in this book or the whole country doesn't eat whole--you know, mung bean pizza and spend $9 on a--or $90 on designer mulch, but i'm describing upscale america, the people who live in the suburbs, shop at restoration hardwar

and i couldn't get npr which i will admit as a good chicago girl i was used to my npr. the reception with it as you get closer to monroeville and i just wanted, i just wanted to from people who have made that drive maybe. i just want to sort of a friend voice in the room with me to keep me company. and nelle harper came up with a perfect three word remedy, kathryn tucker windham. and came over one day. she would always come into my kitchen door in good alabama neighborly fashion and said, here, these are for you. they were the first few, of as many as i could find a kathryn tucker windham's tapes talking about growing up as she did. i think there were some real parallels to the way nelle harper grew up. so they were a delight. can you imagine a better voice to have in the room with you? especially if you're going to play a tape three times, four times, five times i always remember her saying that she tossed off in her stories, and a friend asked her why and she realized the explanation might be that her father would pause, i believe was too light a pipe, jake? so perhap

>> well, eric, you're asking a guy who's been fired by npr for voicing. i just said how i felt when i see people dressed in muslim garb getting on an airplane. i will say the use of the profanity is a little much. i understand espn has a partnership, a business partnership, with the nfl and the commissioner. they don't want to jeopardize it. that's what this comes down to. >> john what are your thoughts? we should point out this was done on a podcast. thought on espn air. not on espn air. yet they decided to bench him. >> it is a question of association. this is a question of association. and espn, just like any individual, has the right to associate themselves with others. with their comments, with their activities, with their behaviors or not. so a business decision. i think you have to be careful. because many media providers want to be seen as authentic. so representing sometimes often less palatable points of view. >> this guy is an opinionterrif guy to listen to. i also like roger goodell. i'm looking at this going, they know he's an opinion guy. th

i was listening to npr and there was -- another round of applause. i mean, that's not optimistic, what is -- i. that not optimistic, what is? >> true. >> it are you were recently talking about how when boys are bossy, they're considered leaders. >> they're not bossy. they're leaders. >> yes. but when girls are bossy, they're considered the foul b word. so, i mean, people say i'm a bossy person, so that's -- >> wait, wait, another around round of applause. [applause] >> and i was just curious, when you were breaking the barrier, were you ever looked down upon because of your gender? >> yes. marianne and i did all this research together and'll turn it over to her, but the opinion is that we have again different expectations and expectations so important, and when poise lead they're called leaders, when girls lead they're called bossy, and that is communicating we don't want girls to lead and that's is cutting off opportunities the same way economic insecurity and inequality cuts off opportunity so do these really hard, really deeply felt gender stereot

they said it on npr the other day, they said a story about marijuana and fisher said, marijuana?ne is not alone when it comes to moms who get high. and as brittany driver discovered, the risk comes with higher stakes than just being judged on the playground. brittany gets high regularly. >> oh, elliott. >> reporter: and she's mom to a 2-year-old boy. she's also a local columnist who wrote recently about the very real risk that child protective services can take your kids away if they think you're an irresponsible pot smoker. when you call cps, what you discovered was, even though it's legal, if a parent smokes pot -- >> they can take my kids. based on just the fact that it's in my home, which is crazy. >> reporter: colorado child protective services says a parents marijuana use is held to the same standard any alcohol or prescription pills. but critics believe parents that smoke pot are putting their kids at risk. and accusation these moms believe is based on old stereotypes. people in this country think it's not right for a mom to spoke pot. >> i have gotten backlash from people

and also, i had a news story coming out that morning as well on the local npr station about me goingeat march for climate action. and so it was a big morning. and i got an email the night before saying await the results from the court the next morning. and so i woke up, got ready for school. the news story came on the radio about me going on the march. and then, like, five minutes later, i got a phone call saying that the court of appeals said yes. and we're going back to court. and i looked to my mom. and we both just cried and cried and cried. it was one of the most exciting and happy moments of my life. it was just -- >> so what happens now? >> so now we go back to the same judge. we go back to the trial court again and, probably with different points, in a way, start over but now with the recognition that the courts, you know, do have power. and they do have a responsibility to follow through with this case. ?w >> you turned 18 this year. you can now vote. , >> good question. you know, it's funny. most of my spiel leading up to when i was 18 was, i'm just a kid. i can't vote. i d

republicans are going to have to understand what president obama has been up front about. 2001 on an nprew in chicago, he talks about the warren courts. they didn't wander into redistrictive justice. his words, they weren't radical enough. eric holder who's made statements about racial animus, painting in broad strokes -- >> trayvon martin, ferguson -- >> which is now going to lead to whoever follows him. >> which, by the way, is an insult to the good men and women of the justice department who want to do the right thing and uphold the laws of this country. >> that's what i was going to say, it's not just the politicians on capitol hill that feel this way, that feel this partisan rift with the attorney general, eric holder. we do a segment every morning on "fox & friends," five a.m., make sure you watch, where we talk about to everyone that has been watching, we call it "keep talking," and today's issue was, in fact, this. and everyone across the board was talking about how they don't feel like they were his attorney general, that they were president obama's attorney general. >> all righ
