That's what I was thinking. As much as some hate Bernstein, they have to admit, he moves the needle. They want to hear him today so they can yell at their radios

That's why they are the #1 afternoon sports radio show in Chicago.

Bernstein: Ken Frazier Steps Up Again

(CBS) Donald Trump is accepting enough of murderous white supremacists, but he was quick to direct his righteous anger at a different target Monday morning: Kenneth Frazier.

Frazier is the CEO of Merck and resigned from the president’s council of manufacturing leaders in the wake of Trump’s refusal to decry specifically or disown the ideology and violence of the hate group in Charlottesville over the weekend. Frazier said “America’s leaders must honor our fundamental values” by rejecting expression of bigotry and hatred. In a statement on Merck’s Twitter account, Frazier said, “As a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.”

Trump then tweeted “Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President’s Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!”

See, when Trump really wants to get after someone or something, he doesn’t equivocate or delay.

Frazier’s name was last seen in this space, you may remember, in July 2012 in a column titled “Goodness Among Evil At Penn State,” in which we noted Frazier’s powerful role in ousting Joe Paterno from the school for all of the correct reasons. Even amid the rampant sickness that infects Penn State to this day, it was Frazier who was unafraid to speak truth about the horrors that were facilitated by Paterno and his football program.

“It was about these norms of society that I’m talking about: that every adult has a responsibility for every other child in our community,” Frazier, a Penn State grad and Harvard Law alum, told the New York Times in January of that year. “And that we have a responsibility not to do the minimum, the legal requirement. We have a responsibility for ensuring that we can take every effort that’s within our power not only to prevent further harm to that child, but every other child.”

Frazier chaired the internal special investigation, hired former FBI director Louis Freeh and empowered him to shine as harsh a light as needed. It was Freeh’s report that set in motion the prosecution of school officials that only reached sentencing just this past March. Frazier always understood that his help came too late.

It was Frazier who put his public face on the announcement of the findings.

“Our hearts remain heavy, and we are deeply ashamed,” he said. “We allowed the former administration to characterize to us the issues, and we failed to ask the right questions, the tough questions or to take definitive action. Put simply, we did not force the issue.”

It makes sense, then, that Ken Frazier would have the courage of conviction to act on his beliefs yet again. It should also not surprise us that our unfortunate president could not bring himself to denounce this latest vile amalgam of Nazism and the Ku Klux Klan but lashed out personally at an African-American business executive as soon as he had the chance.

Dan will lecture the audience on the importance of diversity and inclusion. And then drive home to his gated northside subdivision.

*SIGH* Look, it's days like this that I miss being on the radio, but um, eh, eh, then again, I don't, because, uuuuh, eee, I mean, because, again, look, what can you say about Nazis? But if you're gonna have a show about Nazis, uh, eh, eh, look, in my world there's no two better guys to do it than Danny Bernstein and my guy, Jason from Evanston, because eeh, um, again, in point of fact, they bring two minority perspectives that a big dumb hillbilly from Steger like me could not provide.

Be a good day to get Whitlock on.

On a day like this I have to thank you guys for letting me know that Nazism is bad. You did the same thing for child rape. I don't know where I would be without your show.

They'll be insufferable today. Not because of the anti-nazi, white supremacist talk but they'll go places it doesn't need to. And we all know Goff doesn't need any prompting.

Later today, I'll be listening to S&P and hopefully some new podcasts.

"Harvard Law alum". He always makes it a point to say stuff like this even if it has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Makes you wonder what he really thinks about the SIU dropout sitting next to him?
