Eddie's Message of Transformation
00:05:53
|
|
| It began with Benjamin Franklin, who couldn't stop working or writing about work throughout his 84-year-long life. | |
| Carol Heimowitz has been associated with the Wall Street Journal since she got her master's degree in journalism at Columbia University. | |
| Other books she featured in this article about work include Tocqueville, Frederick Douglass, Upton Sinclair, John Steinbeck, Dale Carnegie, and C. Wright Mills, plus others. | |
| We wanted to know how she chose these 10 books about work, and so we had a chat. | |
| A new interview with journalist and writer Carol Heimowitz about her Wall Street Journal article. | |
| These 10 books changed the way Americans thought about work. | |
| Book Notes Plus with our host, Brian Lamb, is available wherever you get your podcasts and on the C-SPAN Now app. | |
| Eddie in New York City, Democrat, you're on the air, Eddie. | |
| Eddie, are you there? | |
| Yeah, I'm here. | |
| I'm here. | |
| Okay. | |
| Like I said, like I said, I mean, you know, it was interesting. | |
| And I mean, you know, like I said, it showed for the first time. | |
| It showed the people that were marginalized performing at the Super Bowl. | |
| And it was, I guess, I guess for the first time in history, we saw people that did not speak English perform for the first time for a bunch of millions of Americans. | |
| And like I said, I mean, that whole thing with the whole thing with what they were trying to promote with that separate stuff there, the Super Bowl, that's you're looking at the decline of white America. | |
| All right. | |
| And like I said, the world now, the world now is moving into a different direction. | |
| America is moving into a different direction. | |
| Okay, Eddie, and we are in open forum. | |
| If there's other things you'd like to talk about, you're welcome to call in now. | |
| Republicans are on 202-748-8001. | |
| Democrats 202-748-8000. | |
| Independents 202-748-8002. | |
| If you'd like to continue talking about this topic, you're welcome to do that as well. | |
| In the meantime, while you're calling in, here is Republican Senator Bill Haggerty. | |
| He was on Fox News Sunday talking about where Republicans stand on the ICE debate. | |
| If you'll recall, that is coming up. | |
| The deadline for DHS funding is coming up this Friday. | |
| I think Democrats are going to have a very hard time shutting the government down just so they can perpetuate the kind of chaos that's going on in Minneapolis. | |
| Look, there's a reason why ICE does not want to have their badges and their names on their uniforms. | |
| There's a reason why they're masking because threats have risen 1,300%, death threats against ICE agents. | |
| They're being doxxed. | |
| The left has gone completely overboard, and they're threatening the safety and security of our agents so that they cannot do their job. | |
| This is something we need to look at very, you know, very carefully. | |
| The request that we should put ICE agents in harm's way is absolutely intolerable. | |
| And again, the Democrats need to get serious. | |
| If they do shut the government down, it's not going to have an impact. | |
| As you said, you discussed this earlier. | |
| It's going to impact the Coast Guard. | |
| It's going to impact TSA. | |
| It's going to impact FEMA in our state. | |
| You know, we've had massive ice storms. | |
| Let's shut that down. | |
| Is that the argument that the Democrats want to make? | |
| Friday at midnight. | |
| We'll find out. | |
| I don't think the American public are going to believe this is the right path to follow. | |
| Friday at midnight, as the senator said, is the deadline for DHS funding. | |
| And here is Mark Floral Park, New York, Independent. | |
| You're on Open Forum. | |
| Good morning. | |
| Good morning, Mimi. | |
| I've been watching Super Bowls since the beginning. | |
| And it's always been a very nice halftime show. | |
| It's not about Spanish American. | |
| It's about the advertisers. | |
| It's about making money. | |
| Bunny's going to make more money. | |
| He's going to bring in more people watching than Kid Rock. | |
| And although I'd rather see Kid Rock, I'll watch a very entertaining dancer and singer. | |
| It's all about the money. | |
| And as far as making political statements, Marlon Brando did it back when he won the Oscars. | |
| It's been around for a long time. | |
| I have no problem with it. | |
| And as an independent, I feel it's an American way. | |
| I have no problem watching great dancers and singers at a half-time show. | |
| Talk to Sylvia next. | |
| Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Republican. | |
| Hi, Sylvia. | |
| Hey, how are you? | |
| Good. | |
| All right. | |
| So what I wanted to say is that I have a Spanish background. | |
| So my husband and I, we made the decision of not watching the half-crime show because we have heard the lyrics from the songs of Batbunny, and we definitely don't think that they're appropriate. | |
| They are degrading to women. | |
| So I don't agree to the message in his music, and I don't follow him. | |
| So that's one of the things that, you know, brought us to watch the other show, Turning Point. | |
| And actually, I felt most. | |
| It was a message, from my point of view, was a message of transformation. | |
| You know, how he got the message from Jesus to, you know, switch from being Kid Rock to his real name. | |
| I think it's Robert something. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't remember. | |
