so for mac function noodle frank, to leave the in, you name again, wendell. so again, cindy rushing, which is the way finding has been waiting the various the decade has long wanted us to leave it that we can find it's actually connected to the energy complex. our energy, which has been destroyed by the mirror, again, freshening in serving a permanent syllable. then by the way we want to look for ways to reduce it. first of all, this is a demonstration for piecing ukraine. urine is also a demonstration for a patriotic cause because matri answer of awkward or throwing off the yoke of european union leader. so now they are talking about inflation associated with the energy crisis. reduction of heating to 19 degrees and other measures. are the consequences. make sure that our government has introduced us of an issue and i go to war against the sanctions of torture. we now are also against the consequences of sanctions. taiwan has been mount owned by a powerful earthquake, leaving victims trapped in the rubble of collapse, buildings. the magnitude 6.9 quake raise

when my figure to talk about come actually to more than we move on to the next topic so wendell smith a print journalist but one of the first radio announcers for the negro leagues so he called jackie robinson of sports broadcasting he became the first african-american to broadcast. so in his journey he was turned on 25 times by a variety of radio stations finally he got a very short start from new jersey he got a five-minute spot by 1929 later to expand to 15 minutes for by the thirties and forties becoming the first sports journalist also writing stories for the ledger that published some of his commentary on baseball that was pretty rare for a newspaper and actually never got paid by the radio station for the work he did. but he did receive money from advertisers. so that's a fascinatingry story. many words describe him as an african-american throughout north jersey in this era so a 'tsports broadcasting of the era. i could name so many but i will name one more just to add a whole other dimension to what is happening here his name is fred oshima which is a whole other wing of sport

zenit today was stronger in response to spartak, there was little that zenit brazilians could offer, wendel in the center of the field felt at home as a result of which andrey mostovoy scored almost without resistance and graceful dribble kick. we are just very hungry to win, perhaps more than everyone else always wants to win. we have such a character. we never stop. and this is the most important thing in the end, two one in favor of zenit convincingly, if not in a row, then definitely in terms of the game, zenit did not give any doubts about its leadership, remained in first place in the standings, scored 20 points and became inaccessible to competitors. danil makhalin, anton fedotov ivan zamorin march news. now tennis while still the first racket of the world, danila medvedev could not defend his title on the courts of new york and ended his performance at the us open so there will be a new champion at the us open. medvedev was knocked out at the 1/8 final stage, last night daniil lost to australian nick kirillus. one-three. according to the set on the court, the rivals spent a little l

was journalist wendell smith and he grew up in detroit and let me tell you back story little bit pretty started his career in baseball is a very talented pitcher. they wanted to sign him, as early as 1933 but they could not through the segregation policy and major-league baseball novel gentlemen's agreement emerging in the 18 '80s work on major-league teams agree not to sign any black players. so when he is essentially excluded from playing the majorly, eventually turns to sports journalism instead. and the pittsburgh courier one of the largest black newspapers. in pittsburgh courier is one of these and by 1937 and one of the things he does that was so important, is he didn't become docketing the sport among many americans for and among the teams themselves to integrate players into major-league baseball that has a role to play in the eventual decisions of branch rickey who he worked with with the dodgers, i.e. jacky robinson so here you have the sports journalist play key role one of the most important decisions in the history of major-league baseball. so i guess what i'm arguing is bl

our prisoners led by bob livingston from louisiana, joined by jim nhlapo from illinois, or since wendell from hawaii. walter jones jr from north carolina. and the presenter for this group, saxby chambliss from the state of georgia. isn't national defense the first and foremost priority of the federal government. for 40 years prior to the fall of the berlin wall? americans stood shoulder to shoulder with international communism and we won. but with the end of the cold war, some have taken to raiding the defense budget to fund social welfare programs and the u.n. peacekeeping program. our defense forces have been cut so deeply that we risk a return to the hollow military of the 1970s. and for the first time in our history, american troops have served under u.n. command. a republican house will change this. a republican house will change this by voting on the national security restoration act within our first 100 days. our contract with america includes putting a stop to putting american troops under u.n. command. to stop raiding the defense budget to finance social programs and u.n. peacek

my very own family in their illinois backyard to prepare the best report that i could muster for wendello for my readers. a book eventually titled where the deer in the antelope play. i'm grateful for that opportunity to continue the conversation how we are using our planets resources for good or not. especially with regard to who is providing our food and how. i think we absolutely have it in our power to get our land ethic right. but the big question remains, as all this, will we? if we do will be largely thanks to incredible authors like the ones featured in this festival. the fact i am counted among their illustrious number leads me too say it must've been a very slow year.

so wendell smith was a printed journalist but sherman maxwell who is better known as when the first radio announcers. fact is called the jackie robinson of sports broadcasting. he became the first african-american to broadcast a baseball game. now in his journey to become a broadcaster, he was turned down 25 times. by variety of radio stations. finally got a very short spot on white owned with it was in new jersey. got a five minute spot by 19209. later on it expand to 15 minutes that he was on air. during that spot he interviewed a lot of sports celebrities. but, by the 1930s and 40s he started calling the games for the negro team new york eagles. thereby becoming the first sports journalist. f he also wrote stories for the star-ledger, which published some of his commentary on baseball per that's pretty pretty rare for a white owned newspaper. he actually never got paid by the radio station for the work he did. but he didid receive money from advertisers for plugging their products on the air brake, fascinating storyn there. and many have described as the most familiar baseball boys thr

everybody sort of knows about -- or if you are a lawyer you kind of think oliver wendell holmes, marketplace of ideas but in truth, this opinion is the greatest defense of free speech ever written and talks about free speech as a critical part of a democracy. just central to the working and flourishing of a democracy. as a core component of what it means to be a free and courageous and democratic people. it is quite beautiful. i not only am going to tell you to read it, i am going to tell you to read it out loud. it is like poetry. i couldn't possibly do it justice. so he wrote my favorite opinion but it is part of a broader life's work, which is that he had a very deep belief in ensuring that the constitution as is appropriate because this is what the constitution does, assists us in creating and maintaining a flourishing and working democracy. i think that is how he would have described his own life's project and it was a pretty glorious one. so he is a judicial hero of mine. >> in a project that is relevant today as well, so opinion pages all over the united states right now are filled wi

what i remember about the supreme court, they have had political leanings since the days of oliver wendellolmes, and for the first time since the warren court, 1960's, for the first time, the supreme court now has a more conservative philosophy, which goes over about 60 years. now the democrats, because it is going to a conservative philosophy, want to pack the supreme court because it is not going to agree with what they want. and for the last 60 years, nobody has been talking about getting rid of the supreme court. nobody has been talking about packing the separate them court, really. and now all of a sudden this certainly changing the supreme court has been going through the media for years -- not for years, but for the last year or so. and my issue really is kind of like it is an indication of the intolerance on the left. if you disagree with them on the supreme court, if you are a supreme court justice, now all of a fascist. if you are -- if you disagree with them politically, you are a maga republican, which is, to me, you are being vilified because you disagree. and i think there is

you keep seeing your savings wendell away. it's scary. when you see the cost of groceries go up so high. a lot of things are going on the social side, they are interconnected. the oil is hurting the economy. a lot of these things get intertwined. if you have a 401(k), you're not happy right now. caller: good morning. how are you doing this morning. i happen to be homosexual. social issues are incredibly important. one gentleman that just called in about where the jobs are, i worked at a steel mill in northwest indiana. the management literally tried to prevent a black worker from taking specific jobs. the jobs paid less than what the white guys got. people that are calling in it, especially the republicans, they have no idea what the word socialism means. there's never been true communism. there's never been true christianity. women have a right to control their own bodies. men have a right to control their own bodies. this should not be up to the government. the people on the supreme court, they need to be kicked out. most of the republi
