Doyle McManus, Washington columnist for the Los Angeles Times, joins Bob to discuss the latest political news.
Next, documentary filmmaker Anthony Baxter. When the Scottish government sidestepped laws and sold land in a protected wilderness area to celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump, Baxter started filming. He followed Trump as he worked to build a high-end golf course and resort on the delicate sand dunes. Baxter’s award-winning film You’ve Been Trumped opens today in L.A.
Then, in this week’s installment of our ongoing series This I Believe, we hear the essay of Bob Barret. Each of us has private hopes and desires, thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, our public personalities are a close match to our private selves. Other times, they are in conflict. When he was 48 years old, Barret made the difficult choice to tell his family that he is gay. He worried about hurting his family, but he decided that he had to be honest about his true self.
