Amazing careers for both Nina & RBG and how wonderful was their friendship. Congratulations on your book. I believe I saw RBG at an oncology center if she was treating during Covid as was my husband. I didn’t put it together until after her passing as some of her illness & treatment was kept quiet. I wish I could have thanked her but surely wouldn’t have wanted to disturb her. Rest In Peace Your Honor
As a listener of NPR I have heard Nina's voice many times. It was nice putting a face to the voice. Peering inside her friendships and family was the cherry on top. Around here nobody befriends you in a way that you can eat meals in each other's homes. Very superficial acquaintances is what really exists among humans in my neck of the woods. Thank you for the report..
Hard to believe that I’ve listened to Nina Totenberg for nearly all her 50 years at NPR. Her voice, along with Cokie Roberts and Susan Stamburg will remain etched in my memory. Nina, and certainly RGB are heroes as trailblazers, leaders, and smart, sane voices in a sea of insanity. Certainly Clarence Thomas is mired deep in that stinking sea, never for a minute deserving or capable of being on the Supreme Court. RGB’s replacement on the court, Coney Barrett is perhaps less qualified and as much an extreme ideologue as Thomas. Barrett is sadly inept and incapable of filling RGB’s shoes. And like Thomas, Kavanaugh’s boorish behavior and unhinged demeanor should have disqualified him from the court.
@@IntriguedLioness Much appreciated. There are millions who feel the same. Sadly there are other millions, like the guy above, who are mired in that stinking sea.
I loved this story. Nina’s voice is so soothing considering her hard hitting news past. I guess that comes from being one of the first female reporters. She knew men would appreciate her more being soft spoke.
Glad she knew RBG. Ruth was awesome judge and trail blazer in her own right. By listening to this. She was a trail blazer too, along with her women coworkers. May RBG rip.
the husband said it would be a HIPPA violation if he told his wife any of the medical info?? Not true! This is just a info given in confidence. if at the hospital employee, at a hospital and patient info on paperwork or verbally patient would sign a release. Even a layperson given info privately by the patient just ask the patient. Just ask the friend, if they want that info to given out to anyone or just friends or family?
@@jeandonovan8640 This. He just had his doctor's side on during the time. He didn't mean any ill intent for keeping a secret. Maybe he should had ask Ruth if he could tell his wife, but it is in the past now. Everyone knows now. Everyone properly moved on. I wouldn't be so angry/upset at the dude.
I enjoy Totenberg's reporting and will miss her. Nonetheless, I firmly believe her hero worship of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, along with Ruth Marcus, Gail Collins, and countless others, made it comfortable for the justice to hang on nd not retire. They help to create the cult and idoltry of RBG. Now we are left with the woeful aftermath.
You can't be objective and unbiased of you are best friends with the people you are expected to report on. The press has become the fourth branch of the government and that should make all of us very uncomfortable.
Regarding the Clarence Thomas part. I always here about this allegation in every documentary regarding past current events but never hear the outcome. Did he really sexually assault her or did she make it all up?
She was not sexually assaulted, she was sexually harrassed. No she did not make it up and it was not a criminal court session. The clip you saw was from congressional hearings. She did not bring charges because at the time, that was just how men behaved and there was nothing that could be done. Anita Hill's bravery put sexual harrassment In the US's conscience and changed how people are allowed to react with one another at work.
Lovely story about an amazing friendship. However, What is tragic is that RGB didn’t step down from the Supreme Court when that action was desperately needed. The out of balance political body of the Supreme Court did NOT get the Appointee it needed, by the Obama administration because of RBG. And, overturning Roe vs Wade may not have happened, if RGB had acted for the Democratic PARTY, as it was needed. We have the Supreme Court Christian far- right instead.
To summarize the comments: strong "ist gut," ethical "ist schecht" (sehr, sehr, sehr schlecht") . Ein, zwei, drei.... ein, zwei drei... Our NPR "marschierte" crowd: ein, zwei, drei...
Since RGB refused to retire, we have a conservative Supreme Court! Unfortunately we do have one person there that does not know the definition of woman.
Two awful people, corrupting the press and the court. That NT had an inside relationship and leverage this without being transparent, is just disgusting. Listening to NT on NPR was how I awakened to its insane bias, and why I’ll never donate to them again. Gross.
@@KWCardDesign NPR successfully suppressed the news about the corruption of the Biden family right before the 2020 presidential election. NPR has been a solid and reliable source of propaganda for the left/the Democrat party since its very inception.
A marvelous truth revealed at the end: good friends teach you how to be a better friend.
Kudos.
Loved this segment, & seeing a story about strong women. ❤️
Yeah, strong "ist gut" ethical "ist schlecht." Nicht wahr, Frau Ober-Ueber- Haupt Gwen?"
Thank you, Nina Totenberg, for your years of service!!
What a truly lovely report… it brought tears to my eyes…the good kind! ❤️

Completely....my darling friends have made me a better person...so grateful.
What a refreshing retrospective.
Two of the most important and appealing figures of our generation.
Very moving. We’ll done.
Great story of friendship and courage.
Nina is a true treasure and I'll miss her when she retires. She has occupied a good part of my intellectual life and I am better for it.
I have listened to NPR for over 24 yrs. 24/7….and Nina has been here with me through it all...

All committed leftists.
@Niggakilla Drew Barrett didn't know all of the contents of the 1st amendment. The very thing that allows you to make the absurd comment you just did.
When I decided to leave a comment I wondered how I could sum up my appreciation for these women. You did it for me! Good morning!
@Niggakilla Drew Thanks for that, Mr. Neanderthal.
@@IntriguedLioness Much appreciated. There are millions who feel the same. Sadly there are other millions, like the guy above, who are mired in that stinking sea.
I cried, in a good way.
You're excited RBG is gone too, huh?
I loved reading Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
*Team **#FallopianJungle* !!
Nina and Cokie are the epitome of strong women Trail Blazers to my generation. This book is already on my reading list!
Scalia and RBG .. couldn’t be more polar opposites, politically, were lifelong friends..
Scalia was a good man and he understood that you keep your friends close and your enemies closer
@@mikeywestside8509 Totally missing the point of how they could be friends.
Love her. Can't wait to read the book.
I love Nina Totenberg's voice.

Another strong woman who has courageously stood up to powerful men.
How amazing would it be to have RBG as a friend, confidant and guest for dinner!
It would be far more amazing to have Scalia as a dinner guest.
Glad she knew RBG. Ruth was awesome judge and trail blazer in her own right. By listening to this. She was a trail blazer too, along with her women coworkers. May RBG rip.
I loved the Nancy Drew stories 🕯🕯🕯
NPR is a limitless asset to our Nation and I’m thankful
Wonderful interview.
I'm listening to her book right now! It's incredible!
I love NPR
I was lucky enough to have enjoyed the John Aielli NPR years.
Ahh... it sounds like she shouldn't have been interviewing her if they were that close. Seems more like the seeds if biased media to me.
I wanted to be Nancy Drew too.
Love this.
They had a true friendship. I look forward to reading this book and hope to gain insight on the essence of being a good friend.
Nice 👍🏽

Nina Totenberg sounds like a teenager or young spirit.
Nina never could keep her own politics out of her reporting.

I just realize that I described the Nazis. The original ones
Like her, I miss our notorious R.B.G., too!
This is how a healthy ,decent ,smart person sounds like,we should have more woman like her in politics,men are taking us back to the dinosaur era
Nina is Dem lackey
Ruth didn’t retire but tried to outrun death…her decision gave us our current court. Thanks
Can’t believe RBGs been gone 2 yrs. Wonder how that heats going
Since RGB refused to retire, we have a conservative Supreme Court! Unfortunately we do have one person there that does not know the definition of woman.
Ruined someone’s life dream over marijuana.
Two super-rich, entitled harpies. Who cares?

With all due respect that her beginning… by not retiring and leaving her seat in the hands of trump she put women back in the dark ages again
Every sound bite in that interview was anti-conservative. So there goes the no rant no slant slogan down the drain..
Of course, my comments (and who knows how many other comments) were removed.
I am out of here. Continue marching, zombies.

Nina is a four letter word. Like "bias."
MAGA 2024🇺🇸
Lol so?
What do you mean, so? Their slogan is no rant no slant.. so they're lying. Questions?
The teaching of a public radio Marxist!
Right on! Defund NPR.
I used to love NPR, until they went "woke." It was a major disappointment.😞
America needs NPR like a fish needs a bicycle
What does that even mean? Nonsensical remark!
It should be defunded.
NPR is probably one of the only neutral news outlets there is. So because it doesn’t “pick a side” it shouldn’t exist?
