「さて、どうしたものか」

A hero in more ways than one

There’s nothing more obnoxious than a stupid person with confidence.

Once, a rich man lost all that he had. To support his family, he became a day laborer, working hard from dawn until dusk. One day, Elijah appeared to him disguised as an Arab and told him that he was destined to be blessed with a gift of seven prosperous years. “Do you want them now or at the end of your life?” Elijah asked him. “I will ask my wife for advice,” the man replied. … “Ask for them now,” his wife said, “for if we ask for them at the end of our lives, we will know that we have but seven years to live.” … That day, his children uncovered a chest of gold coins while they were digging in their yard. “Let us use this gift wisely,” advised his wife. And so they shared their good fortune generously with those less fortunate. At the end of seven years, Elijah returned to take back his gift. … [The man’s wife advised], “Tell him that if he can find another couple who have used such a gift more wisely than we have, he can have his treasure back.” And though Elijah traveled from one end of the earth to the other, he failed to find two more generous people. And so he never reclaimed his gift, and the couple lived to a ripe old age, opening their hands to all in need until the day they died.

'Apprentice' producer: Trump made 'despicable' racist comments about blacks and Jews

While tapes allegedly exist of the comments, 'Apprentice' creator Mark Burnett has stated that all the show's tapes are contractually confidential and he will not 'give them up'

On a recent episode of NPR’s podcast “Embedded,” Bill Pruitt, a former producer of Donald Trump’s long-running reality television show, “The Apprentice,” discussed Trump’s behavior, insisting Trump regularly made “unfathomably despicable” racist comments on the set. Pruitt has previously said that there are tapes from the filming of the show in which Trump is caught making racist comments. For the first time he elaborated on the specifics of those comments, saying they were “about African-Americans, Jewish people, all of the above.”

Other former producers and contestants on the show, which Trump hosted for 14 seasons, have echoed the claim. Chris Nee, another former producer, said she regularly heard Trump use the N-word, while Tom Arnold recounted hearing Trump make a slew of racist and derogatory comments, even insulting his own son. Producers, other staff and contestants on the show signed nondisclosure agreements which bar them from discussing what exactly happened on the set and the show’s creator, Mark Burnett, remains a loyal Trump confidant. He has stated multiple times that all the show’s tapes are contractually confidential and he will not “give them up.”
