Title: Here and Now for Tuesday, October 13, 2009

" Support for this podcast comes from UPS. Helping businesses take advantage of opportunities. At UPS dot com slash white board."

" I'm running young it's here and now moderate Republican Olympia Snowe of Maine says she will break their party. And become the only member of the GOP to vote with Democrats on a compromise health care bill. That she helped broker with Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus of Montana."

" So is this built -- that I would want fact from a isn't all that can be now. But when history calls his street cops."

" And that's Olympia -- speaking just minutes ago guilty -- congressional correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor -- There was some tension earlier this morning some thought and Olympia -- my eight. Not support the bill her sport does come with some caveats but what's your sense of of what she said."

" Very important. At one point in the unit that can't happen again -- effects. My vote today is my vote today. And I think all of commanders -- signaling that they know that developing. That's where their voting -- this was definitely going to vote on finely. That's could be -- to come in behind closed stores. And that you're seeing a real push right now from the members still are -- on the offense with a final bill and make their final -- even correct from her. She wants to make sure -- affordable and that and that were Romanians can afford to pay something but you look at her. From Republican. Often Democrats are excited Rockefeller lighten Lincoln. Although we you know voting with time that -- experience accusations that they wanted to gain in the episcopal negotiation."

" Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and the first start because he on the other. Side of the -- says the bill which mandates insurance coverage but doesn't create a public option. That he wanted if fall short on that that he would still. Vote for it when the vote is taken even though it doesn't have the public option he wants."

" Appetites it and step in the right direction and that means that all of the Democrats -- but to keep this moving. But we're reserving judgment for what we're talking on the floor Rockefeller is very concerned that the change from companies not going to deliver more affordable policies. Quite the opposite. He pointed to a report everything that over the weekend. That's against the policies will actually increase as president you can't depend on them you --"

" Well this is the in insurance industry report they put that out. Predicting dramatic increases in some premiums because they are angry that they way to deal the government was disposed require everyone get insurance and then with so many newly insured the insurance companies. Would make a lot more money so they agreed to -- a crime that they'd have to cover of people despite previous conditions. Now they say the deal has changed the new bills watered down fewer penalties for people who don't get insurance. An insurance companies say they feel. At least -- of their way to get sick and then still get insurance because insurance companies have been required to cover them even if they're sick with previous conditions."

" Exactly you heard two very interesting things on the kind of being encountered in the the critical. Our budget also for example. Who called it our it is -- any fee on legitimate companies for example on medical providers. Will simply be passed on to consumers. And you know nothing I think quite startling. Revelations. And it's been their own problem that it hadn't -- created the public. Isn't that the CBO has significant and testament gauntlet and not -- health costs for Americans local corporate accounts. As a result of this plan but -- looked at what happened a couple of -- will be hurt by the content will see an 81 billion dollars surplus -- old on star status thanks. But they have not done Pakistan and PP account bill which has also seen what impact -- confirm it. Why haven't you done a Republican said repeatedly answered because it's too complicated and we didn't have time that's very important point."

" Right and we now see the argument the only day as we go forward he insurance company saying that premiums were gonna go are going up because they'll pass the costs on and people like Jay Rockefeller saying. Well that's exactly why we need the public option for those people. Who need government insurance and also Pratt Pratt sending up the flag you know you better not raise the premiums. -- static congressional correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor thanks so much as we depart telling this you know quickly moving still moving stream on health care reform -- thanks."

" Looking back remember that woman who confronted congressman Barney Frank at a town hall meeting about health care this past summer. Why do you continue -- important. I don't -- had expressly. Supported college. That woman comparing Barack Obama's health care reform to Hitler's -- for euthanasia policy. A Barney Frank asked her what planet she was on and then it seemed to move on -- the next news cycle but it turns out that woman. Was a follower of Linden LaRouche the leader of the movement that's been called a cult and most people thought it completely died out. And according our next guest the -- crucial movement the John Birch Society other fringe groups on the radical right. Are not only alive and well they're part of hijacking of the Republican Party we think of Rush Limbaugh and fox news' Glenn Beck as the rights leaders. Max Blumenthal says look too aren't. Author of Republican Gomorrah inside the movement that shattered the party he's also senior writer for the daily beast he joins us from the NPR studios in New York -- welcome. Great to be here that start because you start in what would seem an unlikely place the birth in 1916 of a man named RJ -- duty who was."

" RJ rescue me was a survivor of the Armenian genocide and after coming to the United States he concluded that secular civilization was fallen and had to be replaced. With the hard court Calvin mystic theocracy so he mapped out a plan for replacing. America's secular constitutional government. With the theocracy based on biblical law. So that all of the government functions from road building to schooling to health -- would be replaced by the church and the criminal justice system would be based on the that it is case law so that disobedient children blast steamers abortion doctors and homosexuals would be. All executed. And while -- do you might sound like an extreme figure his book the institutes of biblical law provided the Christian right with this blueprint. For replacing secular society and secular government with the theocracy time in the movement was moving from the pews into the streets."

" Well you say that his ideas were picked up in the fifties and sixties by southern pastors in particular and work. Rankled by the forced integration of public schools including Jerry Falwell from Lynchburg Virginia but you also say. Some alarms went off on the right to Falwell's lieutenants the Russian union was scary because he called for the death penalty for alcoholics and homosexuals. By the way how did -- do you respond to them."

" responded this is a scurrilous attack I never advocated X accusing John Kurds as for the rest of them. Well well he befriended a retired candy manufacturer Robert Welch who was behind rightwing fringe group that John Birch Society he was also. A rush to the ultimately funded by. Howard Ahmanson who does he."

" Well Howard F Ahmanson junior. Is the sugardaddies of the Christian right his father Howard Ahmanson seniors famous philanthropist from California and the founder of Washington Mutual. And when Ahmanson junior who was eighteen he inherited 300 million dollars from his father. And his mother died soon after he was left alone in a mansion. -- when he became something like a surrogate father to. And Ahmanson became rushed in these financial Angel. And -- the initiatives cities funded have to be seen in that context. From the intelligent design movement which Ahmanson is funneled millions into two proposition eight the ban same sex marriage in California which Ahmanson. Pumped at least one million dollars into."

" Well you know we're gonna ask you what's wrong with some might say this is just somebody funny when he believed -- but before we do that. Let's just pull one other thread that of Francis -- He's counter cultural favorite in the sixties Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page. Carried his rating to tell us on a leader was a fan then in 731973."

" Francis chief errors snapped over abortion. Francis Schaeffer was the leader of this Christian hippie commune in the Swiss Alps and -- fostered this tolerant -- and been a mentor to even open homosexual Christians. And suddenly with the ruling of Roe vs. Wade he snapped went to Washington began to evangelize the Republican leadership there using abortion as a wedge issue. But at the same time. -- went too far. And by the end of his life he's advocating domestic terrorism giving rise to groups like operation rescue. Which recently a member of operation rescue assassinated doctor George Tiller in Kansas."

" Well and that's isn't just your opinion we know a lot of -- this -- goes because of Francis chief her son frank. Who says today that his father was calling for the overthrow the government Tim McHale who writes the left behind series Pat Robertson. James Dobson of focus on the families were all followers. Dobson says in 2002 thank god for Francis Schaffer he made the connection between abortion. And euthanasia and and -- had been as you said a progressive."

" And Schaefer saw the irony of this as he was dying of cancer. In the early eighties. He began to refer privately to me is Christian right followers in this movement he created -- low light cues he believed that they warship ignorance he believed that Pat Robertson is pathologically insane in the James Dobson. It was a power monger and east he wanted to denounce them but it was too late."

" let's -- another branch on the tree chuck Colson who was the Nixon dirty trickster who had a jailhouse conversion and found at a prison ministry. Was a fan of rush -- any stinking and of -- anti abortion crusade let's stop there for a second because a lot of people are uncomfortable with -- So where did this lead to in your mind debt become a problem for the Republican Party."

" Well I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with. Attempts to skirt constitutional provisions in the separation of church and state in a lot of people are uncomfortable with domestic terrorism. -- chuck Colson after he came to Jesus. He founded a group called the prison fellowship which is a multimillion dollar organization. Operates with public funding in several states he goes into prisons and."

" Deliberately evangelize is prisoners."

" And these programs have been ruled unconstitutional. For example in Iowa. And -- agenda comes from -- and from -- duty Francis -- is influence on Colson. His most apparent in science fiction novel chuck Colson wrote in 1995 that follows a band of Christian guerrillas were attempting to stop the National Institutes of Health. From harvesting brain tissue from aborted fetuses to cure aids. To stop this evil plot. They launch it killing spree of abortion doctors and eventually firebomb the National Institutes of Health it's no surprise that the -- since novel has been excerpted. At -- on the website of the army of god. Which is a radical anti abortion group responsible for the killing and bombing. Dozens of abortion providers so I think others -- real problem here in the image that -- tries to affect. As this benevolent prison reformer."

" You write. At the end Republican presidential nominee to -- Eisenhower. In 1952. Who it is silently watched Joseph McCarthy he was made uncomfortable. He just to reading a book to his friends called the -- by -- co author and reading on Eisenhower he sort of foreshadowed what. He might have been afraid. Might have into the Republican Party what do you want people to read in the book."

" Well when I was researching my book I found this letter by Dwight Eisenhower to veteran of World War II. Who is dying of cancer and the veteran had written Eisenhower that he sought a leader speaks directly to the people with total certainty. And he used his response to this letter to expound on his vision. Of the open society recommending a book called the true believer and analysis of extremism. The book is by -- coffers self educated longshoreman who became a philosopher in his spare time and offers. Thesis is that faith and holy cause is really -- substitute for lost faith in ourselves and Eisenhower warned that veteran. That those seeking relief from the mental stress and burden which democracy imposes. We'll find refuge in extremist movements that offer them freedom from the necessity of informing themselves and making up their own minds concerning. Complex and difficult questions Eisenhower was referring to the radical right. Which was attacking him at that time especially the John Birch Society. Which -- labelled him a Communist operatives just as the groups that grew out of the John Birch Society label Barack Obama. A Stalinist. Or hit Leary and figure."

" We're speaking with investigative journalist max Blumenthal and his new book Republican -- inside the movement that shattered the party. He lays -- his claim that the Republican Party has been hijacked by the radical Christian right. With roots in the teachings of anti abortion activist Francis Schaeffer and RJ -- do we -- who advocated replacing the federal government with the Christian church and killing homosexuals. But next Republicans have been speaking out against the new faces of rights South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham. Recently said Glenn Beck of Fox News who promoted the national tea party protests. Doesn't represent the Republican Party and was unfair and not good for the country. Former bush speechwriter Peter winner said that Beck's broadcast should worry the conservative movement. And former Republican congressman and now MSNBC host of Scarborough. Said you can't preach hatred you can't say the president's racist as -- did. You can't stir up things that could have very deadly consequences. Some are painting the Republican right with too broad a brush. If you've said that the far right succeeds. Because they appeal to people and personal crisis who turned to ideology keep their own impulses that -- aliens was subsequently have senators. Arrested in men's bathrooms. But aren't -- people -- Republicans who genuinely are against abortion or extramarital sex. And for this isn't some psychological refuge."

" I'm sure there are I'm not trying to paint the movement with a broad brushed my book is a journalistic profile. Of certain figures who have brought the Republican Party into the grip of a radical rightwing movement. Well one."

" And you say is James Dobson in 1977 he found the evangelical group focus on the family. Fascinating -- to his story his early patriarch was Edgar prints the auto parts magnate who. Found god after a heart attack and whose son Erik Prince. Was an intern for focus on the family in the became founder and CEO of mercenary firm black water. -- since the lobbying arm -- the family research council he was behind Republican congress revolution in the mid ninety's but Steve focus on him."

" The reason that I focus on him besides the fact that he is directly responsible for the reelection of George W. Bush in 2004 and the rise of the Republican congress. Is because he's cultivated the sensibility that defines the movement that controls the Republican Party. Through exploiting this culture of personal crisis."

" In Dobson focus on the family in his mountain kingdom in Colorado Springs in the basement is correspondence department that so large it has its own zip code."

" The correspondence department handles thousands of pieces of mail and phone calls every day. From average Americans seeking help from Monday in problems from marital strife to pornography addiction. And they receive adoption approved advice but it then they're entered into a databank. And they're bombarded with political mailings informing them that the real source of these societal problems are the homosexual agenda abortion liberalism."

" Feminism. And they are converted slowly."

" two Republican shock troops because they viewed Dotson almost as a magic helper was restored their personal lives to normal and they owe him. Dobson is used his flock to destroy the political ambitions of moderates from Colin Powell to Bob Dole."

" Also Wednesday you know this -- America you can have a flock but maybe more offended by his entree to Washington you talk about. A time when Dobson summons 25 house Republicans for meeting in the capitol basement. And says he's gonna pull from the party unless they proceed to his demands from eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts -- And you quote the majority leader Dick Armey is. Whimpering. -- quote I was never so wrongfully and viciously attacked in only eighteen years in Washington as I was five the Christian leaders. An."

" He had so much access to. New class of of leadership in the Republican congress but because he converted so many of these figures -- Steve largest. Who is emerging. Member of class of 94. Was Dobson hunting buddy. Jim Talent as a reformed Jews who said he heard Thompson's voice on the radio pulled over by the roadside. With tears streaming down his face and it's promptly converted to evangelical christianity. Gradually -- began applying pressure on Newt Gingrich. Who was not conservative enough for him eventually forcing a vote of no confidence. And ousting Gingrich who by the time he was leading impeachment proceedings against. Bill Clinton was having an affair. With a woman twenty years his junior who would eventually become his third wife and when Gingrich sought to return. Into the political fray. He appeared on James Dobson radio show in 2007 because he needed Dobson to welcome him back and -- Johnson is not a minister. He has no theological credentials he's a child psychologist. And he understands that behind the politics of resentment. Of the Wright is a culture of personal crisis. And so he's used this dynamic to assert himself politically."

" Max Blumenthal. And you -- moderate Republicans and written a book."

" I've been on book tour mostly on the west coast and I met. Dozens of moderate Republicans who told me that they've left the party because the Republican Party is gone beyond them and I watched as Olympia Snowe one of the last moderate Republicans. In congress -- said the same thing. I received an email from Susan Eisenhower Dwight Eisenhower's granddaughter complementing my discussion of her father's. Warning against a radical right. It's I think the moderate Republicans do not exist anymore. Which means that the big tent party delight Eisenhower is now the one ring circus of Sarah Palin."

" and you hearing from her supporters and no current Republicans when you're speaking I am."

" At a recent event at the University of California Riverside and group of college Republicans. Attempted to prevent me from speaking. And when guy. Did media panel discussion with an openly gay progressive activists. And an African Americans they heckled the openly -- man blowing kisses at him. And accused the African American of being racist much it's Glenn Beck is accused Barack Obama. Of being racist they reminded me of the mobs that have been disrupting town halls."

" What they seek is not only the -- legitimization. Of the Obama administration."

" But the disruption of civic society because they see the sun setting on the party that they control."

" And this is their death rattle and I expect more disruptions like this in the future."

" Next month senior writer for the daily beast his book is Republican Gomorrah inside the movement that shattered the party. Next thanks so much for speaking -- Thanks for having me on. Doctors are warning parents to be on the lookout for signs that swine flu has taken a deadly turn children. While experts say H1N1 isn't any more dangerous than seasonal flu children do seem to be catching more and hundreds of thousands of them have likely been infected and other Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that nineteen children died from swine flu. Last week alone so how can you tell when it's become deadly doctor William Shatner is chair of the department of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt school of medicine. Doctor Shatner -- we've seen these stories of children -- come down with food dye it very quickly. And we -- happens when the flu leads to other illnesses explain that."

" Yes that's right the swine flu virus we'll get down into your chest and upset. The mucous membranes of your bronchial tubes that go down into your long. And then that can be further complicated. That inflammation by bacterial infection which can lead to pneumonia."

" And -- and we understand that it it can also happen. Just when you think your child is getting better so give us some of the signs."

" If your child is getting better and then suddenly stopped getting better and seems to be getting worse that's a good sign. If there breeding becomes trouble or to rapid. If they develop a bluish skin color if they stop drinking and become dehydrated. And then of course at their personality changes if they become exceedingly irritable and certainly if they become difficult to wake up. Any of those things should get due to a doctor with that child quickly."

" Should be clear your child can have the flu -- be sick. Start to get better and then may be relapse that relapse by the way on talk more about the sentence you listed but is one of the symptoms fever."

" Yes it could well be that the -- which has been going down now comes back up. That could be a warning so."

" some of the other signs in the -- jumps out because it seems like the one that he. May be different from just other childhood illnesses is the bluish. Finger and skin color what is that."

" That would go along with having so much longer involvement. That they're not getting enough oxygen into their lungs and into their bodies and so they developed this bluish skin color which we call sign --"

" And I mean to be flip but is this something you'd also see in children of color."

" You can't see it around him mucous membranes. In their -- tidy. And visited that the content type -- is in the interior there eyelids you know that's usually very -- that can take on a bluish complexion and some of the children can get. -- Around darker around their lips and -- fingernail that can be come bluish and they're normally quite pinks."

" So what happens if you see these symptoms. Because we are hearing stories of parents rushing children to the emergency room and it becomes too late."

" What we have seen is that parents have a tendency to delay oldest child will get better against right don't want that trouble the doctor."

" Because a year that the last thing you wanna do is bring a child for instance to a doctor's office and or emergency room where there's so many germs."

" We need to distinguish a child that has suddenly become ill for the first time and is miserable but doing well. Call your doctor don't take that child but if that child can't take liquids. And it's clearly having trouble breathing or changes their personality becomes very irritable or difficult to -- Those are signs that should alert apparent that something's not right."

" And it will medications at that point health -- and Tamiflu at that point help."

" We would give that child Tamiflu. Might have to give them some fluids intravenously. We might admit them to the hospital put them in even in the intensive care unit if they are sufficiently ill."

" Well we keep hearing that swine flu isn't really any worse than seasonal flu except. Except that it's -- affecting children more 76 children. Have died from swine flu since April only 68 children died in the entire past year's seasonal flu. What is happening there when it comes."

" It's just two messages. Let's say out of 300 children 299. Will do very well but that 300 child. That's the one who's going to get sick and gets seriously ill so we all need to be alert to pick that up at the earliest possible --"

" They're doing Shatner infectious disease expert at the general school of medicine with the latest on detecting swine flu in your child. That is Jeff thanks so much protest. From king and will be back in thirty seconds with a look at the future of the American farm through the eyes of an African American farmer in North Carolina. Interface here and now. The average American farmers almost sixty years old and many are wondering if their farms. Will survive another generation. For their daughters and sons the question is why firearm. In our series five farms were profiling farm them -- a cost the country today any endurance he wise. They raise cogs and a 106 acres in Nash county North Carolina. -- didn't inherit his farm he says that after 27 year career in the army he returned to his native North Carolina. And for five years in the ninety's fought with a racist local government loan officer before he could eventually -- it. So a fourth generation black farmer he became the first in his family to own one."

" My grandfather. Will be brought to you. From the standpoint that he was Sarah -- Everybody just include locals. They couldn't wait to get all the phone bill could have back up. No orderly you vault Pluto. My heart is always been phone."

" Eddie and Dorothy -- have three children and they always intended to leave the farm to their kids in the hope they keep it in the family. But -- grew up on farms all have careers elsewhere. It's a challenge it's especially wrenching for African Americans keeping a farm kid on the farm is hard enough defining the next generation of farmers. Among young people with little experience on land. Can seem almost impossible our story was produced by John BUN."

" We must change -- you must be together experts certainly don't call for urgent."

He has to really see his struggles and understand what's going on and a lot of young people. Connected up with."

" I think for indexes. Fall session we need -- talking what our young -- can do to get in Foyt. There's a link to a full weight that we. As black people have not been abuzz. That we need to be dual without keys if you hall farm. And you got a neighbor just got young cute. Get him participate in classes just to show hall. Full year he growth -- the show. -- lays the foundation. Put him. At the fall."

There's just -- way we've -- to them to do other things and I wear my then we won't have been about problems left him. Because all the old he has. --"

Well you probably never heard it it's called I never heard it by sapphire and Michael Jackson the state had never heard it either when they released Michaels recently discovered and much ballyhooed song this is sick this week. They are of course the same song co written by Jackson and -- in the eighties. Yesterday and -- said he soon now that the Jackson family has given him credit. And a portion of the royalties. Not to mention a showcase for Seth -- version. Almost forget."

" You're listening to you now."

" Welcome back. My -- debut was one of the highlights of human life but at the same time being let down wasn't quite. As aware of how lucky I was so glad have a second opportunity to get back. We embrace."

" That's actor -- talking about his second opportunity to come to Broadway. In English production of Hamlet great white way is witnessing its perennial invasion from across the various -- this fall. Joining -- two actors that are known as superheroes Britons Daniel James Bond Craig. And Australia's -- Wolverine Jackman star in a steady rain. Here now critic at large Ed Siegel joins us to talk about those productions and few others and welcome to zero. Nobody is the American love affair with everyone else is theater I -- more accurately British the."

" You know to some extent it's an inferiority complex. They grow up with theatre in their blood the way that we grow up with movies and TV in our blood -- to an extent it's deserved but. There's a larger economic issue of the way dead Broadway it works today it is first serious but he almost have to do it some place else and get -- attention and London has become -- the primary place for that to happen."

" This is too expensive people -- gamble. Well Hamlet did have a well received in England and for you know that's a tough audience."

" If that's -- and the Don -- warehouse. That is where it was produced and they have become known for matching. Great actors who we know primarily from them movies with great stage girls Kevin Spacey and -- come close example. And now we have Jude law's. Almost pitch perfect him."

" Let's remind people. The Jude Law that they used to here is as the supremely self confident Dickie Greenleaf. Trying to shed himself of Matt Damon. As the talented mr. Ripley influencing."

" You love me you're not marrying me Tom I don't you might that mean that as a threat to be honest I'm I'm beleaguered goalie. I think we've seen enough of each other for a long."

" You can deal leakage. You know that and."

" And war. You can be quite important."

" you -- not be careful what you -- to Matt -- and great movie that wasn't as we hear eschewed love playing an American. Trying to sound like a preppy --"

" Right and now on Hamlet is speaking in his native tongue has a melancholy Danks."

" Slit your son that I -- he is railing at Ophelia. About the treachery of winning."

" I do live I -- nickname ghost -- show us again I don't want to invest our parents. I'm sure all our all. Better mainstream God's. So we'll have more marriage you. Those that aren't already -- one shot -- the rest shopkeepers that."

" And it."

" Well we know what happened to her feel ya I'm a big daddy we EU he has -- sort of raspy voice that has made -- audience and as soon for him. But what -- seen what is the acting."

" Well first well I think it's a terrific piece of acting. If a bit relentless. As you can probably sensed the musicality of his performance even though without saying it. You certainly get the sense of urgency and madness from the power of it is speech in the clarity that. The soliloquy is that he delivers even I don't know large theater he makes it seem as if she's talking directly to your."

" Well -- solicitude -- attacking about the heart."

" We in the pot that's also an incredible Everyman Jennie is it that he raise these questions and it."

" Cordless -- All English TV. Not an option."

" And he I'll -- in such a way that makes it incredibly. Sarah she's gonna be your job -- in the going down homes. --"

" And two drama in Hamlet now on Broadway sounds like messy hard ticket Tony. Okay let's take a look at to -- countryman Daniel Craig. And Australia's Hugh Jackman. In a steady rain and this steady rain doesn't come from London but from."

" The Chicago that wonderful theater town it's by Keith Huff who unfortunately is known present -- Shakespeare unfortunately best. I don't like it. No I mean imagine trying to cram a whole season's worth the NYPD blue or the shield and to a ninety minute play. We have a police officer -- Jackman who gets increasingly corrupted variety the company he keeps and his longtime -- compass led by Craig and the -- just careen from one cliched to another. You know I will give them credit there to find stage actors and they keep their head above water where others might drowned."

" Well we used in the producers -- read and releasing any sound from a steady rain so here now our theater critic as Siegel with his imitation of our."

" No you don't think that you don't want me to go there though you know people Tom Mayo look a lot like the problem. But there is -- YouTube posting of some something of bug Jackman. Staying in character as -- All six."

" It's. When -- burn out here. -- Yeah her -- lawn."

" Say this agreement is subject to pay attention do you bring yourself on the confluence selfless but I could hear -- Don't be embarrassed ready phone he's got sort of a mid western they're both through good job their midwestern accent -- steady rains -- the good cop bad cop playing on Broadway. Maybe it's appropriate that we move to another import from Chicago this would -- superior -- missile. Cop reference there and this is from playwright Tracy met now and we spoke about tasty that's -- August Osage county opening couple seasons ago."

" That's right and that went on to win the Tony and the Pulitzer. But you know Robin you'd be hard pressed to recognize this play is one by Tracey -- because sees. He's been marking kind of on the wild side from killer Janeiro and bug to Osage county which. Was almost a three hour epic of transcripts of behavior but the superior donuts is a comedy about the owner of a doughnut shop. It's not Norman Rockwell territory but by today's standards and certainly. What's the standards. It's kind of sweet no pun intended. The doughnut man hires a young African American.
