Firing Line with Margaret Hoover
@firinglineshow
Fmr. Defense Sec. Jim Mattis and Ryan Holiday discuss the value of understanding history in the military. “The idea of learning by trial and error is both arrogant and reckless,” says Holiday. “We turn to the past because the people in the past lived through situations like we're in right now.”

"It's not a book I ever, ever, of course, wanted to write." Danielle Crittenden talks about "Dispatches from Grief," her journey through mourning, and living with the loss of her daughter. TONIGHT 8:30 pm ET @pbs.org listings: to.pbs.org/39hI6Tf
Health care policy expert Lanhee Chen proposes Individual Health Accounts, but he recognizes “it's not for everybody at this point.” “Health savings accounts as they exist now are predominantly a vehicle for middle, upper-middle income, higher income folks to save for their health care expenses.”
In “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” Ben McKenzie interviewed people who had been scammed by crypto—and yet they still believe in cryptocurrency. “For some of these guys, this was a major investment for them, not just financially, but mentally, psychologically. This was their ticket out."

What would happen if a president chose to defy a ruling by the #SupremeCourt? "Our democracy and our Constitution would be in danger,” Justice Anthony Kennedy told Margaret Hoover last fall.
The best way to comfort someone grieving is to lean into that pain, even if it means saying the wrong thing, says Danielle Crittenden, who wrote a new book about losing her daughter. “What you want are people to lean into the suck…and just to take your hand.”
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reflects on how George Washington embodied Stoicism. “He listens with the willingness to be persuaded. He quiets himself down, tones down his temper, and he learns,” says Mattis. “That is a man in control of himself.”
Government price controls might cap health care costs in the short term, says Lanhee Chen, but they won't solve the problem. "In the long run, it's not going to cost less. What it will do is create a precedent for the government aggressively rationing access to health care."
"What it takes to change politics is for young people to get involved, to do the hard work, and to play their role in the system," says Oona Hathaway, citing last fall's NYC mayoral race as an example. And Philip Wallach argues Gen Z can help fix a political system that is driving Americans apart.
"With every joy now, there's a mixed sadness." "Dispatches from Grief" author Danielle Crittenden explains how the loss of her daughter inevitably impacts even celebratory events like the birth of her first granddaughter. Follow on Apple: bit.ly/49EQ4FI

Republicans sent ICE / Federal Agents, to kidnap and kill our neighbors. We respond with moral outrage. Democratic leaders sent State Troopers to "to protect the people" but instead join ICE, assaulting those who speak out. How is that helpful, getting hit by both sides. WTF 🤬
