I'm doing poorly and this is Sunday morning with the new year, New Year's resolutions and topping the list for many of us as the resolve to exercise more, despite any obstacles still try as we might, it's hard to imagine anyone more serious about going the distance than the runner Lee Cowan will be taking us to meet. Simon Wheatcroft is doing is wrong, but he's endured more than you could ever know just by watching. Once it actually something that was believable.

The only constraint was how puzzled is that if it helps to guide you step-by-step how a blind athlete is teaching himself to run solo without the help of a God on Sunday morning is a legend among movie actors with a long running record all his own.

His name is Michael Kane and this morning he's reprising some of his best lines of dialogue with our Mark Phillips go there all along the famous Michael Kane one-liners, you're only supposed to, which is what he's called. His latest book, but his most famous line was the simplest Monday, which is become a modern mimics test mockup kind like okay that bedload abruptly goes up, still blowing the bloodied doors off coming up on Sunday morning a round of questions and answers with Nancy Pelosi, properly addressed, since this past Thursday as Mme. Speaker.

I met all the formalities of taking charge. She found time to speak with us.

Therefore, the Hon. Nancy Pelosi is only elected speaker of the house from the leader of her party to speaker of the house.

Nancy Pelosi, one of the most galvanizing and polarizing figures in American politics. You go into the arena and you understand that you will be a target with you effective your target.

There's just no question coming out my chat with Speaker Nancy Pelosi Chris Van Cleave asks are we there yet faith sailing opens up on open offices and more coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues speaker is the proper way to address Nancy Pelosi since she took command of the House of Representatives this past Thursday, just one day later she took time to chat with us about the past and the future call to order on the all of America's children. Nancy below. See Her come back this past week, surrounded by children California Democrat elected once again.

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives become the most powerful woman in American history.

Sadly, I was hoping that we would have an American woman president two years ago will. That didn't happen. Speaker Pelosi is the most powerful woman in American history and most powerful woman in American politics. But you can't make the government open speaker has awesome powers. But if the present United States is against governance and doesn't care whether people's needs are met or that public employees are paid or that we can have a discussion then we have a problem and that we have to take it to the American people. Nancy Pelosi extent you Speaker Nancy Pelosi ushered in a new era of divided government. We don't have border security will shut down the government.

In the midst of a government shutdown 800,000 federal government employees furloughed or working without pay national parks and museums close to build a wall. Don't worry about it all. President trumpets demanding $5.6 billion to his campaign promise of a wall along the Mexico border barrier.

Whatever you want. Losey has vowed to block any funding to build it. A tense standoff between the president and Democrats at the White House Friday lasted two hours. He said he keep the government closed for very long period of time, months or even years did you say that your absolutely is bluster, hyperbole, or do you think will help to help with the fact is, he has said again and again you read breaking your assessment of how you can work with this president. Well, let me first say that our purpose in the meeting at the White House was to open up government impression you get from the president that he would like to not only close government build a wall but also abolish Congress.

The only voice that mattered was his C is described by friends and foes alike.

As a master legislative strategist, first woman elected to the house seven. She was a fierce critic of then-President George W. Bush. But Pelosi rounded up Democratic votes help him pass an economic bailout package Pelosi again delivered the votes for the affordable care act of 2010 which Republicans derisively called Obama care less about how they retook the house. Nancy Pelosi is arguably the most galvanizing and polarizing figure in politics most liberal, she would not argue having been featured in thousands of attack at Pelosi's wrong, it's time to change Washington you going to the arena and you understand that you will be a target and that isn't anything that that you keep you out of the arena and so I always say to women just no yourself the who you are, did you learn that from the experience of being a target. I think I think so but you effective your target is just no question so they have to undermine doesn't bother me.

That's their problem with you over Nancy Pelosi for House Democratic leader this fall.

She even faced a revolt from members of her own party a matter of having new leadership called for a new generation of Democratic leaders to take on Pres. Ronald Matthews is a situation where it's not easy for her to talk right now going toe to toe in a televised standoff with the president may have helped seal the deal. Please don't characterize your and she left that White House meeting in shades and a flaming red power code that made her a social media celebrity House Democrats with an DP resolved on Thursday. Many of her staunchest critics. Brian Pelosi ended up casting votes for Nancy Pelosi, Pelosi counting votes is in her blood. She was born the daughter of a congressman. Later, the longtime mayor of Baltimore, Tom Dalessandro.

She was the youngest of seven, and the only girl married at 23 she had five children while active in politics.

She didn't begin a political career until age 47. My youngest daughter Alexandra was going into senior year and went to Alexandra and said Alexandra mommy has a chance to run for Congress. But we have one more year at home so I am hesitant to do that if you don't think I should go. I won't and I'm happy with that decision and she said mother get a life teenage girl what her mother out of the house three nights a week. Well I had never heard the expression, get a life. But but then I did here is very straight line from the from the center of the capital Washington Monument linked three decades later, she once again has the top job in Congress and the best view in Washington, a capital on edge. Will the next Congress be remembered for impeachment or will they be remembered for something.

Well, I believe we will talk about what we talked about in the campaign for the people. Lower healthcare costs by reducing the cost of prescription drugs and preserving pre-existing condition that building bigger paychecks by building infrastructure of America so not judgment his family of origin that would be depending on what comes forth from the special counsel's office if and when the time comes for impeachment will have to be something that has such a crescendo in a bipartisan way. I just want to certify congratulating Nancy Pelosi on big elected speaker of the house if on Thursday. President rate that you had some kind words for Pelosi think it's actually to work out. I think it will be little bit different than a lot of people think it present trump hasn't given you a nickname that I know of that I know of, and to me it means one of two things.

Either he doesn't regard you that seriously that you need a got a cutter down nickname or that he has some respect for you money the case doesn't matter to me what matters to me is that he recognized that Congress of the United States is the first branch of government that were coequal branch of government and that we are in this represent the people and that when we go to the table to speak with him were respectful of the branch that he represents the office of the president and when him to be respectful of the branch of government would represent coequal that you have to remind him of that. Now I don't, I will say we shall see. It isn't so much about him spat the office that he holds the presidency of the United States.

Sometimes I think the off. I respect the office he holds more than he does as the first woman elected speaker of the house.

Nancy Pelosi's place in history was already secure about her defining role in history may live.

Hillary Clinton had one and for the parent would be safe I would been happy to go home. I have that I have options you will have retired. Well retire. I was going home in I see my role is more the mission and job tenure and when the mission is accomplished and I can have that satisfaction that when I was needed to get the job done. I was there to do it now pays from our Sunday morning almanac January 6, 1994, 25 years ago today.

The day the genteel sport figure skating became a media circus that was the day an assailant club Nancy Carrigan on the leg as she left the ice after practice of the US Olympic trials in Detroit. Someone was running by me in any dislike whacked me with this long black sick. The attack plunged Carrigan's Olympic dreams and down focused suspicion on libel and her Tonya Harding. Within days Harding's estranged husband Jeff Gillooly was arrested along with three other Harding herself. On the other hand, proclaimed her innocence had some bad points about after we spotlight Carrigan and Harding faced off at the Olympics in Lilyhammer Norway.

Despite her injuries and one silver Harding who had problems with their state laces finished well out of the running. Harding later pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution receiving three years probation, $100,000 fine and a final blow. The US figure skating Association banned her for life. The story lives on in our national memory, most recently in the 2017 Elm I Tonya with Margo Robbie in the starring role decision stories skating fans hope will be told only on the screen, and never again all those claims being made for our cutting-edge open offices leave faith sailing in a state of open rebellion open secret open office plans are the worst percent of American workspaces are set up as open and aware architectural walls disappear stripping any creative boundaries between healing your cubicle colleagues shared space enable team building, so we all can shift paradigms while you move the needle except it doesn't work that way. According to science and anyone who's ever had to work in one of these open hellholes. Research shows that in office plan results in approximately 73% last face-to-face interaction as well as a significant increase in electronic activity causes workers to tune with her headphones and the lack of senior colleague emails you rather than asked you to brainstorm all over everyone's tasks, but need science to prove how much open offices suck the life out of your workday. Since the rows of chemicals and pods of beanbags resemble a library in OpenOffice adopts the rules of the library, meaning silence, all costs when your sister calls to fight over Thanksgiving plans and click for an empty conference room we have to pitch an important client squat in a storage closet to mention if you love your chair and don't want it swiped market in some way. No me office spaces were sold to us as a way to create solitary and feel the truth is, save money like airlines or company just wants to cram as many of you in as possible and call it synergy some upside someone's birthday cake for all someone's 11 AM. The smell of processed meat for all take your child to work day someone's four-year-old for all. Look parent who's ever worked from home experienced in OpenOffice because your children make themselves. Your boss just asked this guy how an open-door office policy works out, we go to an office to get away from it all. Which is why open office plans put the bunk and cross functional collaboration.

Drill down with your cohort that is not fun to hear them to and by the way here at Sunday morning, we don't have an open office plan, which is why were able to get a show on the air every week. Are we there yet parents of her that question from the backseat now join us on the world's longest airline flight where many a passenger might ask the very same question. Chris Van Cleave joined the boarding line with the mentality of a marathon runner Wayne Brown showed up to the gate friends think you're crazy.

What is is in aviation at the starting line along with 160 other passengers for the latest launch of the world longest nonstop flight New York to Singapore. More than 95 mile trek connecting to the world's financial capitals in a mere get this 19 or so hours I forgot to scroll and loose eco-time is money their racing to get to a business meeting and are willing to pay about 4 g one way to shave six hours off.

The trip able to get down on the ground earlier then we went have gone directly enter the specially designed Airbus A3 50, made from a composite to real and carried by two engines. Singapore Airlines says it's up to 80% more efficient than the plaintiff's replacing and can stay in the air for over 20 hours. Could you do this route without this airplane. We could do could do it economically and therefore will assist Kimball Wilson is a senior vice president at Singapore Airlines with being intrinsically involved in the hopelessness of the aircraft's desire consultant to Mike Rickles's to serve the customer and the customer want these days court hearing. Business players want to get there fast and in comfort on board. There were 67 business class seats that convert into beds. The other 94 or premium economy. So while you can still get stuck in a middle seat. It's not as cramped as the coach seat. You typically have to squeeze into arguers that want to get you there precondition Jeff Anthony McNeil is Singapore air's food and beverage director in an effort to combat jet lag. The airline is focusing on nutrition, designing a special low sodium low-carb menu. This flight is small portions more regular intervals why smaller portions more often some excitement but also interaction with the current ulcer.

The ones on board interaction of things allows for much more pleasant experience. The airline also delivers in seat exercise videos for passengers to get the blood flowing his legs and circled Rickles twice in each direction hours in and somewhere over Russia.

I was in need of a good stretch. It takes 13 flight attendants and two sets of pilots to get this show off the ground. There's even a shift change at 30,000 feet.

They can spend their off-duty time here in the crew rest area off limits to passengers to fly across the whole Capt. Rachel Audrey showed us her flight which takes us over the top of the world offering this Arctic aerial tour is different doing 19 hours for seven or eight flight this have to manage. It's an endurance test for passengers to IH, watch a movie slapped watch another movie red and entire newspaper it again and we still had 10 hours to go now having 6 to 17 hours to keep everyone refreshed the cabin comes with 16.7 million combinations of light to simulate different times of day.

Still, the marathon flight and the 12 hour time change. Do take their toll. But we made even crossing the finish line early to the delight of Don escarole jetlagged entire little tired, dehydrated probably need to drink a lot more water, ready to explore Singapore, which makes the time saved on this seemingly interminable flight well worth the trip. Sometimes all it takes to turn a life around is a lucky find.

Here Steve Hartman many homeless people are haunted by drug addiction, mental illness or criminal. Indeed, Elmer Alvarez knows all those demons he says just because a person is without a whole doesn't mean their void of character. For example, the day he found a check. I will never write only here for $10,000 right over here soon as you raise in your life will not really the first thing that came to mind was this person forcing your thinking wasn't like I go cash this check and change my life and never crossed my mind.

Submitted decisions my life over being clean for three years. Graduations, thank you know the money belonged to New Haven, Connecticut real estate broker Roberta Hosking. She recorded her meeting with the good Samaritan aspect of the nice clean shaved and I'm going to feel like you said she got Elmer cried when the bird offered and shattered to stereotype this all happened about a year ago with the best part of the story is what is happened since she helped him find an apartment paying his rent for seven months back on his feet. She also put them through real estate school together now working on a little real estate project will become a God could be very rewarding.

Only identify the property in the next year they plan to build a transitional house for homeless teenagers and young adults. House will provide all kinds of services. Elmer says crucial. I know what it is to be homeless. While he served Roberta could not agree more Amanda.

What it felt like to be in a shelter.

That's right before she built her make the billion-dollar company was also hopeless teenage mom worked her way out of poverty, and is now offering Elmer a chance to make his dream come true as well. Tell me eventually will serve as an advisor transitional house you could end up helping a lot of kids.

That's that's what I want to do a lost check this amazing leads to a phone number I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do with you.

Just know that there are those of us memorable roles such as the Butler and Batman begins opposite Christian Bale helped make Michael Kane a living legend this morning a legend in that he talks with our Mark Phillips 54 he could've picked any number of famous one-liners from as many movies go like this one is the title for his latest autobiography, you're only supposed to blow. The book is from the 1969 movie lines. His work for him before he's already mine. This film, my name is called the book what you will about your howl them when you're living here I came here when I was 18 months two years old and that I was here till over six.

Michael Kane is 85 now and doesn't get back to London street where he grew up poor and from where he was evacuated during the wartime blitz a good thing to do is a straight up here which was completely destroyed what it did to build doors and windows, and everything this street because it was tempted to make jokes or blown the doors will go to above the doors of not many actors write so many books about their lives, but then not many actors have careers that go on as long or are as varied as Michael Kane's my favorite accent to do over brought up on so many maybe he's gone on so long because he spent his first decade as a young actor learning his trade, playing small theaters around Britain after he'd come back from combat in Korea does basically nothing he can't do know the name if you're talking about that know companies very seriously today. Everything you spell. If I did everything's going room.

I will be an American accent.

I do that to you know this is this is where you sound far this is the way he sounds to his many imitators okay if you say my cocaine satellite. This got Mark okay Monday accents. He says what got him into the movies except his was the wrong kind of a chicken on a Job wasn't supposed to play the posh officer. In his 1964 breakthrough movie Zulu Chapel in front of the men but American directors saw beyond the English class system and cane assault earth coffee accent. If you been a British director they've never been a left-wing communist.

He would never cost me as an officer was a real rough company and so thank you America for my first thought my real name is Maurice McWard. He was standing outside the theater, playing the Humphrey Bogart movie when his agent told him he needed to pick a new stage name so she could tell me and I am in Leicester Square to sit Humphrey Bogart in the kind mutiny. I went to comfort you know what kind say I was very good because if he had a next-door if other than that Ottoman Markkula hundred build once of the good of you that one of the hundred and one is a small number is life not career spanning six decades has produced 173 TV credits, not to mention a couple of Oscars and a night but all good things must come to an end not appear. Michael Kane got about 60 and I got a script and I send it back to the producers I got older Britpop is too small.

He said it back besideto read the level you're supposed to read the father. I suddenly realized I had to retire, but only briefly until Jack Nicholson script you are. It would directly lock Michael and I read the script.

What you want to look like a janitor.

Jack is my lucky charm objective. It was the luckiest thing to me because I had no intentions of going back in placement policy movies you see, there are no small parts in movies, you run discrete you pick what it was a whole new career and what better character for cane Batman's was an English butler Alfred John Street and it was loaded Japanese school ghosts will at some point and only junk goes from Japan recognizably. You know I was so proud.

In fact, Kane became such a good luck charm for the Casco series director Christopher Nolan didn't want to make a movie without but how to fit them into Nolan's war epic Dunkirk listen to the voice of the spitfires radio will you don't retire from movies movies retire you, but not yet come to me with a television series about "hopelessly funny as I think it is so. But the right thing is is I know Little Bo Peep a note of all directors is loadable directors could be fun or material yet another book about his life started back here when you brought the very the very top of the toilet was in the God good legs are wet cuts have serious runners like to boast about going the distance, but it's probably fair to say you can match the fellow Arley Callan has been watching an action like many athletes, Simon Wheatcroft loves chasing that runners still get a real Bose from the realtor trains on this path near his home in Doncaster Village in north-central Lincoln but to really stretch his legs. He takes to the open room sharing the solitude of his run with passing traffic now any drug or knows that that can be a pretty dangerous proposition, but for Simon.

It's especially so what do I look like just a wash of life.

Yes, Simon Wheatcroft is completely why I'm going to Osborne with retinitis pigmentosa, which is a genetic disorder way vision deteriorates over time. He was diagnosed with this rare condition when he was about 11 for a while, we could still discern shapes and recognizing faces, but by age 27, it was all go first live I will you know I was still going to see to move around daily basis book is nothing new. You know you vision slip away. You can't stop it really hit home the day he decided to propose 2009, he made his way to the US with the hopes of popping the question to his girlfriend high atop have to Yosemite national Park. But halfway you realize the hike was more than he could handle. What were you thinking knowing you have it turned back incredibly angry. You know, I was faced with an obstacle.

The only reason was because he couldn't say he did end up proposing in the shadow of her abdomen instead of on top of it, but we also values that he would never let his lack of site get in the way of his mobility again. Life will seek control of destiny. If I like I needed to readjust gain control and learn 12 Simon is a bit of an now run the New York City Marathon three times the Boston Marathon also three times, and he's even attempted to 100 mile plus ultra marathons. This gives us the haptic call vibration feedback, all while testing different pieces of technology, but he hopes one day tend to feel load will help 1/4 of a billion people around the world who are visually impaired either walk, hike or run without the help of a guy I wanted to prove the mobility could be busted because mobility is half of one person so seeing light, the only viable decision was to learn to hello and rerun before no say so just how does he do well. He started out slow first on the soccer field running back and forth between the goalposts to guide them try to nap called run keep my IBM uses voice commands the telephone or time and distance. We were running back and forth can see even today I still don't 611 says about blind soon he opted to not to a stretcher broke.

About 1/3 of a bar long.

It was closed to traffic and opened up and down a patent 10 laps of his confidence grew, but so did Simon's born one day, almost without thinking, Simon left that close road ran into traffic. See the cars but here reason I got to closely drive around. He hoped Huss F level, the motion that the best in the test thing really broken through, about you showed us how he stays near the curb on the double yellow line, you can actually feel the thickness of the paint through sneakers right now, as were walking yeah I'm trying to fill lines and feel a difference between wonderful so the feeling right now for the rightful feels very different from the lustful side if it helps to guide the noise of the cars in your little can hit and going from a distance away so why would just tear this way yeah nebulous, not the cost for that white tie crossing the road across the we talked became to forget that everything Simon is doing is in the dark but I would doubt if now dipping down step. Simon showed video once of what it would look like for pretty unnerving watching metal lampposts and street signs go flying by knowing you can see any of them coming. But he's memorized what each and every one of those obstacles in my by creating a mental math of his 5 mile route so that now sweeps to the right way to take in the face by you knows these road so well.

He could practically drive it back.

He was giving me driving directions to he was fall. The not so much about the cell by cell by also dry on her. It's all pretty impressive. Simon was getting notes with the designers of run keeper Simon had adapted the rap to help them navigate the featured him in an ad campaign in 2016 teamed up with IBM to develop a guidance system that he nickname. Yes, God is guide dog was a prototype with the help of GPS gave Simon audio Q kept him on course test with the grueling 155 mile per miracle through the Namibian desert works. He made it almost halfway totally unassisted system worked. You know that alone is this a dream a few years ago. Now that they do on the second day on my list devoted to the only flagpole in the desert flagpole of life took a big blow for the flagpole to the face.

The first time he's taken a serious body blow Worchester ran headlong of the twisted remnants of a burned-out car training on his route near his house and that Swain really badly, but to point out to pull a phone to call the wife and say spot is quite scary to know everyone else will find were changed after things became a loop will cancel Chardon the woman he proposed to ill-fated hike was key in pushing the envelope, especially since I have two young boys together. Grayson and Franklin but she knows that although it's dangerous there is a bigger picture you want to change the wealth of blind people they want to prove that they can do this in mind, pretty lofty goal.

Yeah, I think. Cannot tell it. We were there we open a new piece of technology to test called Ira space-age.

It's sort of a Google glass on sterile new service that visually impaired people can now subscribe to US works like this camera on those glasses beams video back to a cited agent then acts as the users running you want to sign if you will go slightly to the right towards 1 o'clock to avoid. Simon was the first UK to try took it to a local market agent at the other end helped him browse the store shelves after the one with the green tall so affect okay the reason I once is I want to demonstrate this to as many blind people. Thanks a lot, remove all those difficult points in life and discovery to independent do want to see you Simon I road just might break through could make his dream of running solo come true studying for his masters in computer science to continue perfecting more technology for the block.

The goal is that these piece of technology exist can do always think the most likely the should have to take the rest took hero. He says consider himself an inspiration that is a test pilot sort for those who are blind or visually impaired. Like you, hope technology may one day brighten their work. I'm Jane Pauley.
