Dave A Kaplan

<a class="spreaker-player" href="https://www.spreaker.com/episode/15830515" data-resource="episode_id=15830515" data-width="100%" data-height="350px" data-theme="dark" data-playlist="show" data-playlist-continuous="true" data-autoplay="false" data-live-autoplay="false" data-chapters-image="true" data-episode-image-position="right" data-hide-logo="true" data-hide-likes="false" data-hide-comments="false" data-hide-sharing="false" >Listen to "Dave A Kaplan Releases The Most Dangerous Branch" on Spreaker.</a><script async src="https://widget.spreaker.com/widgets.js"></script>



Two centuries ago, Alexander Hamilton described the Supreme Court as "the least dangerous branch." That's no longer true, argues David A. Kaplan, former legal affairs editor of Newsweek, especially in the wake of Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement. Time and again, the justices arrogantly intervene simply because they can, subverting democracy in the process. It's not that they're rank partisans-it's that we've foolishly come to accept their dominion over American life. Whatever one thinks on this social issue or that-from abortion and gun control to campaign finance and voting rights-that's bad for the country.
The Court's ascendance does not only give too much authority to nine unelected, unaccountable justices. It enfeebles Congress, diminishes the value of politics, and corrupts confirmation hearings. Yet few question the Court's astonishing power. Kaplan does in THE MOST DANGEROUS BRANCH: Inside the Supreme Court's Assault on the Constitution, (Crown; on sale September 4, 2018), a richly reported narrative that will rile conservatives and liberals alike. Set to publish in the throes of the confirmation hearing, the book will be the most recent assessment of the current Court, and will include content on Justice Kennedy's retirement and what it means for the Court.
When Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016, supporters on both sides of the aisle agreed the next justice could "reshape" American life "for a generation." Is that really what we want to invest in a single individual? In the Trump-Clinton presidential election, many voters said they made their choice based on who they thought would be nominated to the Court. THE MOST DANGEROUS BRANCH insists that is not how self-government is supposed to work.
The retirement of Justice Kennedy only raises the stakes. With his newest nominee, Trump can transform the Court into a conservative juggernaut that will reign supreme over national policy for decades. Year after year, Democrats and Republicans fight for control of the Court-as if it's just an electoral prize. But neither side bothers to ask if entrusting the Court with such vast power is wise. Combining behind-the-scenes interviews and keen analysis, THE MOST DANGEROUS BRANCH takes us deep inside the Court to learn who the justices really are. We find out what happened in the first Obamacare ruling and what John Roberts thinks about his conservative critics. We see Neil Gorsuch's discordant ways, Sonia Sotomayor's frustrations, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's celebrity, and Clarence Thomas's fury. We see the justices as more than distant deities.

At a key moment for the country, THE MOST DANGEROUS BRANCH challenges conventional wisdom about the Supreme Court's transcendent power.

Songs on "Find A Light" hew toward easygoing roots-rock (“Run Away From It All”) and Southern rock stomps (“The Crooked Kind”), as well as stripped-down acoustic numbers (“I’ve Got This Song”) and bruising alt-country (“Nobody Gives A Damn”). Rich instrumental flourishes—keening fiddle, solemn organ and bar-band piano boogie—add further depth and resonance.

“That’s one of my favorite things about Blackberry Smoke albums—there’s a lot of variety,” Starr says. “My favorite albums through the years are built that way, too. I love a record that keeps you guessing. I love the fact that our records are sort of a ride, with different types of songs and different vibes.”

Judas Priest formed in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in 1969. With its distinctive twin-guitar sound, studs-and-leather image, and international sales of over 50 million records, Judas Priest became the archetypal heavy metal band in the 1980s. Iconic tracks like "Breaking the Law," "Living after Midnight," and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" helped the band achieve extraordinary success, but no one from the band has stepped out to tell their or the band's story until now.
As the band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. In Heavy Duty, guitarist K.K. Downing discusses the complex personality conflicts, the business screw-ups, the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well as how Judas Priest found itself at the epicenter of a storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the '80s. He also describes his role in cementing the band's trademark black leather and studs image that would not only become synonymous with the entire genre, but would also give singer Rob Halford a viable outlet by which to express his sexuality. Lastly, he recounts the life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage during a 2009 concert and thought, "This is the last show." Whatever the topic, whoever's involved, K.K. doesn't hold back.

Discover the definitive book on the Menendez case-and the source material for NBC's Law and Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders
A successful entertainment executive making $2 million a year. His former beauty queen wife. Their two sons on the fast track to success. Until tragedy struck.
Married for twenty-six years, José and Kitty Menendez appeared to be a happy couple and proud parents. Twenty-one-year-old Lyle Menendez was enrolled at Princeton where he was a star on the tennis team. Eighteen-year-old Erik Menendez had just graduated from Beverly Hills High and was about to start college at UCLA. The Menendezes appeared to be living the American dream.
But it was all a façade.
The Menendez saga has captivated and fascinated people since 1989. The killing of José and Kitty Menendez on a quiet Sunday evening in Beverly Hills didn't make the cover of People magazine until the arrest of their sons seven months after the murders, and the case developed an intense cult following. When the first Menendez trial began in July 1993, the public was convinced that Lyle and Erik- "the boys," as they would become known-were a pair of greedy rich kids who had killed loving, devoted parents.
But the real story remained buried beneath years of dark secrets. Until now. Journalist Robert Rand, who originally reported on the case for the Miami Herald and Playboy, has followed the Menendez murders from the beginning and has continued investigating and interviewing important sources for 28 years. Rand is the only reporter who covered the original investigation as well as both trials. With unprecedented access to the Menendez family and its history, including interviews with both brothers before and after their arrest, Rand has uncovered extraordinary details that certainly would have changed the fate of the brothers' first-degree murder conviction and sentencing to life without parole.
In The Menendez Murders: The Shocking Inside Story of an American Tragedy, Rand shares these intimate, never-before-revealed findings for the first time, including a deeply disturbing history of child abuse and sexual molestation in the Menendez family going back generations, and the shocking admission O.J. Simpson made to one of the Menendez brothers when they were inmates at the LA County Mens Jail.

Music makes the world better! Eighty-year-old Ted McDermott, a lifelong musician, enjoyed a long career as an entertainer before his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2013. After the disease took its toll on Ted's relationship with his family, memory and mood, his son Simon found a unique way for them to connect again: carpool karaoke! Simon filmed the pair's joyful singing and the video, ‘Quando Quando Quando – Teddy Mac,’ went viral, garnering sixty million views and touching people's hearts around the world.

Simon McDermott grew up around music. His father, singer Teddy Mac, loves it so throughly that his sheer volume of song knowledge has bourne him the nickname: the Songaminute Man. Then Ted’s alzheimer's diagnosis changed everything. Through the power of music, Simon and Ted McDermott were able to bridge the distance the disease wrought between them, and rediscover their old relationship. The Songaminute Man is Simon McDermott’s tribute to his father, from the man he grew up knowing, to the person he adores now.

Charting Ted’s incredible life against the backdrop of 1940s Britain to the present day, McDermott brings his father’s extraordinary story to life. From his beginnings as the eldest of fourteen children, as a factory worker struggling to make himself known as a singer, as a Butlin’s Redcoat, a husband, a father, and now an Alzheimer's patient, Ted never gave up on his dream of being a professional singer.
Simon and Ted show that hope can appear even in the most hopeless of times. The Songaminute Man is a beautiful memoir about the pull of the past, the effects of a devastating disease, and the transcendent power of hope and positivity.

<a class="spreaker-player" href="https://www.spreaker.com/episode/15719988" data-resource="episode_id=15719988" data-width="100%" data-height="350px" data-theme="dark" data-playlist="show" data-playlist-continuous="true" data-autoplay="false" data-live-autoplay="false" data-chapters-image="true" data-episode-image-position="right" data-hide-logo="true" data-hide-likes="false" data-hide-comments="false" data-hide-sharing="false" >Listen to "Mario Van Peebles From Armed" on Spreaker.</a><script async src="https://widget.spreaker.com/widgets.js"></script>



Mario Van Peebles believes there are three loves in your career: Love what you do, enjoy whom you do it with, and be passionate about what you say with it. Throughout his career, Van Peebles has often managed to do just that. From his first breakout hit NEW JACK CITY, to his most recent retelling of the historical ROOTS series, and his upcoming thriller ARMED Van Peebles has brought challenging, compelling material to the screen.
A graduate of Columbia University with a B.A. in Economics and recipient of an honorary doctorate from Hofstra University, Van Peebles worked for two years for New York's Department of Environmental Protection before moving to Hollywood to act, write, and direct.
His theatrical directing debut was the urban gangster hit NEW JACK CITY, which became Warner Brothers' most profitable movie of 1991. Van Peebles followed up by starring and directing his multi-cultural western, POSSE.
Mario then directed and produced PANTHER, while his father Melvin wrote and co-produced. PANTHER is the explosive story of the Black Panther Party's rise to power. The film became a political classic, earning both controversy and awards, including the Locarno Film Festival's Silver Leopard award.
Van Peebles received critical acclaim for his portrayal of political icon Malcolm X alongside Will Smith in Michael Mann's ALI. Mario followed up with BAADASSSSS! The odyssey about the making of his father's groundbreaking film SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG. Mario produced, wrote, directed and starred as his filmmaker father doing the very same thing in 1971. "It was psychotherapy on celluloid" remarks Van Peebles. The film garnered strong critical acclaim including being one of Ebert and Roper's ten best movies of the year for 2004.
For three generations filmmaking has been a Van Peebles family affair. Mario got to team up with his kids to create the edgy coming of age film, WE THE PARTY.
In addition to directing and acting in features, Van Peebles is passionate about supporting education and eco-consciousness through media. His reality show, MARIO'S GREEN HOUSE, chronicled the Van Peebles family's often-humorous attempts to raise their eco-consciousness as they tried to go green in Hollywood. "We never got to the full green, more like Olive green," jokes Van Peebles.
With his edu-tainment short BRING YOUR "A" GAME, Van Peebles encourages young brothers to resist the pop culture of anti-intellectualism and educate themselves beyond conventional academics. His documentary FAIR GAME?, explores such topics as the prison industrial complex as a form of modern day slavery, and eco-apartheid.
In 2017 Mario co-created, wrote, directed, and starred in the 'Netflix' Syfy series SUPERSTITION. He next completed production on his upcoming feature film ARMED which he also wrote, directed, and starred opposite Ryan Guzman, William Fichtner, Jemma Dallender, Dionne Warwick, Melvin Van Peebles, and Van Jones.

When not doing features, Van Peebles directs and sometimes acts in award-winning shows such as BLOODLINE, BOSS, DAMAGES, LOST, HAND OF GOD, and EMPIRE.

In January, 2015, American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson captivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California.
The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of global media attention.
But for Tommy Caldwell, The Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb. It was the culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. At the age of 22, the climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly after, he lost his index finger in an accident, but resolved to come back stronger. When his marriage fell apart, he escaped the pain by fixating on the extraordinary goal of free climbing The Dawn Wall.

Blurring the line between dedication and obsession, Caldwell and his partner Jorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship?

She says's she's been hit by a car not once but twice.  Forget about her upbringing.  Did one actually take place?  Yet Lisa Ingber is finding every reason to create laughs.  Most would've checked out.  Not Lisa!  She's having a blast cheering up crowds from New York to LA.  We dig in deep during our conversation, comparing notes on each other's stages.  She's upfront and honest.  Inspiring as well as filled with a laugh that you'll instantly become addicted to.

Author Catherine Dolan Takes on the Truth About Women and Men in the Workplace with Debut Book
Motivational Press releases Dolan’s debut book about sexual harassment in the pharmaceutical industry this September 2018
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 14, 2018 – Catherine Dolan is gutsy and bold; charming, respectful and polite. All
these qualities secured her professional success in the pharmaceutical industry.
With over fifteen years in pharmaceutical sales, Dolan is a nationally-recognized sales leader in her field,
celebrated for delivering consistently high-level and quality results. And yet, with all that success, there have
been aspects of the coveted professional position in big pharma that she wasn’t expecting. We’re talking both
blatant and subtle, always awkward and uncomfortable sexual harassment and sexual advances made both
privately and publicly.
Which leads us to one of Dolan’s greatest qualities – her candor and authenticity. She’s not afraid to be right-
between-the-eyes honest about it all.
In The Not So Sexy Truth About Women and Men in the Workplace (Motivational Press, September 12,
2018, paperback, $19.95), Dolan shares her personal and professional story managing sexual harassment in
the workplace. She shares it all not as gossip, but as objective, public information as well as timely and easy-
to-implement advice to deal with it.  She encourages men and women to educate themselves, and, in turn,
feel empowered to make in-the-moment decisions that allow them to stand up for themselves – and keep
thriving in their respective careers.
She willingly takes on the modern crisis of sexual harassment in the workplace all while giving empowering
perspective on how to identify if you’re in that situation – and how to rise above it powerfully.
Dolan is real, admitting she didn’t always play it strategically-right with several men she discusses candidly in
the book; but, if anything, she learned timeless, important lessons about men, women, and herself that she
now shares with the world. Available for pre-order next month, The Not So Sexy Truth About Women and
Men in the Workplace is an important read for today’s professional who is hungry for success – and not
willing to let anything get in his or her way, especially someone else’s sexual advances or harassment.

Love Is__ is a one hour new and original scripted romantic drama. It is inspired by the real-life love story of executive producers Mara Brock Akil (Being Mary Jane, Girlfriends) and Salim Akil (Black Lightning). Love Is__ revives the classic 1990’s romantic comedy, complete with a sweet nostalgia for the decade including the iconic fashion, music, and stars like Kadeem Hardison and Loretta Devine. The series follows Nuri (Weaver) and Yasir (Catlett), a couple from seemingly opposite worlds, as they chase their dreams and learn to follow their hearts. Told from the perspective of the couple’s present-day selves.
