Jon Wiener: From The Nation journal, that is Begin Making Sense. I’m Jon Wiener. Later within the hour: 20 minutes with out Trump. There’s a beautiful new historical past of New York Metropolis from the Melancholy via WWII, out now – It’s known as “Gotham at Battle,” written by Mike Wallace, he gained the Pulitzer Prize in Historical past for the primary quantity in his “Gotham” sequence. To speak about ‘Gotham at Battle,’ we’ll flip to Brenda Wineapple. However first: the Supreme Courtroom’s new time period started this week – David Cole will touch upon the unlawful issues Trump is doing that the courts are contemplating – and that the courts are NOT contemplating. That’s arising – in a minute.
[BREAK]
The Supreme Courtroom started its new time period this week, and the constitutional points posed by Trump’s orders and actions have by no means been larger. For remark, we flip to David Cole. He lately stepped down as Nationwide Authorized Director of the ACLU to return to instructing at Georgetown Legislation College. He writes for the New York Occasions, the Washington Publish, and the New York Overview, and he’s The Nation’s Authorized Affairs correspondent. David, welcome again.
David Cole: Good to be right here.
JW: Because the court docket met this week, Trump was sending 200 Nationwide Guard troops from Texas to Chicago after a federal decide declined to dam them. As we converse on Tuesday, we’re informed they haven’t but deployed across the metropolis. Illinois Governor Pritzker, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, are attempting to dam the deployment and their lawsuit shall be heard on Thursday. We’re informed by the New York Occasions that as of Tuesday afternoon, there was no seen army presence exterior the Federal Courthouse in downtown Chicago and that it’s simply regular enterprise there.
In the meantime, in Oregon, a decide has dominated that Trump has briefly blocked from deploying federalized troops from any state, together with Texas to Portland. Trump had invoked the regulation that enables presidents to name within the Nationwide Guard of any state to suppress a rise up. He claimed Portland was ‘warfare ravaged by Antifa and different home terrorists.’ He mentioned ‘skilled agitators and loopy individuals’ have been ‘attempting to burn down federal buildings.’
The state of Oregon and town of Portland sued and defined what’s apparent to anybody who’s there: there isn’t a rise up or menace to public security in Portland. Native regulation enforcement has been dealing with the sporadic vandalism there. The lawsuit argued that Trump violated the tenth Modification that provides states broad powers to deal with their very own affairs. The district court docket decide right here, Karin Immergut, is a Trump appointee. She concluded her ruling that the president’s declare of emergency was ‘merely untethered to the details.’ I’m wondering what your remark is on all this.
DC: I feel that assertion, which was correct about Portland, might be utilized to a lot of what the Trump administration has achieved since taking workplace. He has invoked and exercised emergency authorities within the absence of any emergency. The Alien Enemies Act, the killing of individuals allegedly smuggling medicine on the excessive seas, the tariffs, the concentrating on of the ICC. All of those are the train of emergency powers, however there isn’t a emergency. The one emergency that we’re experiencing is the one among Trump’s personal making, and it’s refreshing to see a court docket name him on that bogus assertion.
JW: Because the Supreme Courtroom begins its new time period, a few of our mates say it’s hopeless. The Supreme Courtroom will okay all the things he does. And naturally they’ve dominated in his favor on some stunning instances, beginning after all with immunity from felony prosecution
However decrease courts at this level, I seemed up these numbers–decrease courts at this level have blocked about 130 of Trump’s actions with short-term restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. And the Supreme Courtroom has agreed to listen to arguments on solely a handful of them. As we converse on Tuesday, none of Trump’s government orders have been definitively dominated authorized by the Supreme Courtroom in a full signed opinion. That is in line with the web site, Simply Safety, which is following 432 instances difficult Trump.
On this time period, the Supreme Courtroom has agreed to listen to solely three of the 130 rulings towards him: the tariffs, his efforts to take management of impartial businesses. and his try to fireside a member of the Federal Reserve Board. What’s your evaluation of all of this?
DC: So I feel, first, the decrease federal courts are doing the job they’re paid to do, which is to uphold the rule of regulation, to face for constitutional protections within the face of political actors who’re operating tough shot over these rights. Second, the Supreme Courtroom has dominated for the Trump administration on the emergency docket a shocking variety of instances, however the Trump administration has been selective about what it has requested the Supreme Courtroom to assessment. And so yeah, they’ve gone up about 20 some instances. The court docket in most of these instances has dominated for the President, not in various vital ones, however in most of them. But when there’s 130 injunctions down there blocking him, and he’s solely gone up 20 instances, that implies that really the courts are doing an vital job and he’s not assured about prevailing within the Supreme Courtroom on a lot of these instances.
JW: Let’s have a look at Trump’s losses in federal courts. Simply within the final week we’ve had, I feel it’s at the least six. Let me listing them briefly after which ask you which ones you contemplate probably the most vital. A federal court docket appointed by Trump on Saturday blocked Trump’s deployment to the Nationwide Guard in Portland. When he tried to get round that by sending Nationwide Guardsmen from California, the decide forbade the deployment of any federalized Nationwide Guard from any state to Oregon fo14 days.
A Federal decide dominated on Tuesday that Trump violated the First Modification free speech rights of worldwide college students and professors who had been arrested, detained, and deported. These are non-citizens, college students and college members, who had engaged in pro-Palestinian exercise. On this case, which was introduced by the AAUP and its allies, there was a 9 day trial in July that included the testimony of 15 witnesses.
Third instance: a federal appeals court docket in Boston dominated on Friday that the Trump administration can’t withhold citizenship from youngsters born to individuals within the nation briefly or illegally. That is one more court docket that has rejected the president’s order on abolishing birthright citizenship. There’s now two appellate courts and a complete of three district courts which have declared that government order unconstitutional.
A federal court docket in Tennessee dominated that trump’s many authorized strikes to incarcerate and deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia constituted ‘vindictive prosecution,’ that Trump had sought to punish Kilmar for having filed a lawsuit efficiently difficult his preliminary illegal deportation to El Salvador. The New York Occasions known as this ruling ‘an astonishing rebuke of the Trump administration’.
And on Friday, a federal court docket dominated that Trump’s firing of three members of the board overseeing Puerto Rico’s funds was unlawful and restored them to their jobs.
After which two weeks in the past, we must always point out in Rhode Island, a federal court docket dominated it was unconstitutional and unlawful for Trump to ban the usage of federal funds to, in his phrases, ‘promote gender ideology.’ This was a case regarding a coverage Trump had ordered on the Nationwide Endowment of the Arts in awarding grants. I feel you argued that case.
And naturally there’s another: the Supreme Courtroom itself let stand an appeals court docket ruling that Trump can’t hearth Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook dinner, at the least not at this level within the litigation.
Which of those many defeats Trump has suffered within the final week or two do you contemplate probably the most vital?
DC: I feel they’re all really extremely vital. The First Modification instances are particularly vital as a result of Trump has focused free speech, like actually no president for the reason that McCarthy period. And it’s completely essential that courts get up without spending a dime speech rights. And when the court docket in Boston held that non-citizens amongst us have the identical First Modification rights as residents, and you’ll’t deport them for participating in speech that’s protected for residents, that was a completely essential resolution.
The choice within the NEA case that I didn’t argue, I’m co-counsel with it, however my co-counsel from the ACLU argued, can be essential. Mainly says even when the federal government is simply distributing funds, it could possibly’t search to suppress viewpoints that it finds politically incorrect, which is what they have been doing in saying that no NEA grantee may promote gender ideology, which they interpret, the Trump administration interprets, to incorporate any recognition that trans individuals really exist.
The choice on Lisa Cook dinner critically vital as a result of if the Fed goes to operate as a stabilizing drive in our economic system, it needs to be insulated from on a regular basis political pressures. I feel everyone agrees about that apart from Donald Trump. And the truth that the Supreme Courtroom was not keen to permit him to take away Lisa Cook dinner is an efficient signal that the court docket goes to guard at the least the independence of the Federal Reserve.
However I feel, once more, the large image right here is courts are doing their job, courts are standing as much as the president, calling out his claims when they’re both lawless or unfounded, and there shall be many appeals to come back. And on the finish of the day, many of those instances will go to the Supreme Courtroom and we must decide the Supreme Courtroom on the way it does. We don’t but know as a result of, as you mentioned, it has solely addressed emergency issues and it has not addressed on the deserves any of his precise orders.
This time period I feel it would in all probability resolve birthright citizenship. It would resolve the tariffs.
It’d resolve the Alien Enemies Act, the usage of the Alien Enemies Act to attempt to deport Venezuelans. And people are all main, main instances.
JW: And there’s one different main, main case which proper now shouldn’t be being litigated anyplace. The intentional homicide of civilians on orders from Donald Trump who lately introduced that america is in a armed battle with drug cartels from Venezuela which can be distributing narcotics. This announcement seeks to present authorized cowl for taking the deadly motion towards traffickers and follows a number of strikes towards what the administration has claimed are Venezuelan boats, that are in worldwide waters. Initially, how many individuals did america kill in these assaults? And the larger query, what’s the legality of Trump’s orders?
DC: So I feel the depend is now 20. If the final boat had three individuals on it, it was 17 with the primary three boats. These are individuals who, we don’t even know their names. We don’t know what was on the boats. We don’t know what they have been really engaged in — as a result of america simply blew them out of the water, sank all of the proof, by no means gave them a trial, by no means received a warrant to look the boat, by no means sought to arrest them — though Marco Rubio acknowledged that they may have captured these individuals. Interdiction of individuals suspected of drug smuggling on the excessive seas is one thing the Coast Guard does regularly. However Marco Rubio mentioned ‘it will ship a stronger message’ if we simply kill them. That is to me, the one most outrageous factor that the Trump administration has achieved.
I imply, pardoning the January 6th rioters, that’s outrageous. Prosecuting Jim Comey, vindictively–that’s fully outrageous. Focusing on universities as a result of they don’t agree with the political opinions of the President — That’s outrageous.
However homicide is totally different, and what you’ve right here is premeditated focused killing of people who find themselves civilians. They don’t seem to be in a military. They haven’t attacked us. There’s completely no justification beneath warfare powers to be concentrating on them and killing them. In the event that they’re smuggling medicine, they are often tried. For those who convict them, they are often detained. They’ll’t be killed. Even when they’re tried and convicted, there’s no dying penalty for drug smuggling. And but you’ve the president and the army now finishing up dying penalty after dying penalty with no trial, no cost, no proof, and no warfare. It’s fully outrageous.
JW: Trump claims as his justification, his designation that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is a ‘international terrorist group.’ What does that designation really authorize?
DC: It authorizes solely financial sanctions towards that group. That’s the authorities, when it designates a terrorist group, it could possibly then prohibit Individuals from doing enterprise with that entity, from offering any technical or financial help to that entity. It doesn’t authorize executions, and that’s what he’s doing right here.
The warfare on medicine is a metaphor, however President Trump shouldn’t be treating it as a metaphor. He’s basically saying, no, it’s an actual warfare. We should always deal with it as an actual warfare. And ‘I get to kill whoever I need to kill in conditions the place after all I may seize them, nevertheless it sends a stronger message if I simply kill them.’ It truly is to me, in a league of its personal, by way of worldwide crimes, warfare crimes, crimes towards humanity. To me, what’s disturbing is it’s gotten some concern, however not numerous concern. You’ve got the President of america killing now about 20 individuals, and little or no concern expressed by the general public.
JW: Does anybody have standing to problem Trump on this?
DC: I suppose the survivors of the individuals who have been killed on the boats would possibly have the ability to attempt to deliver a problem. There are many obstacles to suing the President in these sorts of circumstances, however I hope somebody will as a result of it’s completely lawless. And simply because he has the ability to kill shouldn’t imply that he can kill with none accountability.
JW: And what about congress right here?
DC: So he’s apparently notified Congress that he has declared this fictitious armed battle with this group development arawa that nobody ever heard of till he determined he wished to deport them and determined he wished to say that they have been one way or the other attacking us militarily. He’s notified Congress. Congress beneath the warfare powers decision may disapprove of his actions by a joint decision, however that joint decision must be signed by the president or overridden with a veto. So that you’d not solely should have a majority in each homes, that are managed by Republicans, however you’d should have two thirds majority in each homes due to course, he would veto any such decision. So Congress doesn’t have a lot authority.
I feel they may deny him any funds. They may say you can not spend cash killing individuals with out justification exterior of an precise warfare. However the politics of it usually are not good. I imply, he is aware of that he’s put anyone who’s defending these individuals on the aspect of defending drug smugglers and never many politicians need to be on the aspect of defending international drug smugglers. So he’s received good politics, very unhealthy regulation, and basically, as I wrote in a bit of the New York Overview of Books, ‘he’s getting away with homicide.’
JW: I perceive out of your piece within the New York Overview that there’s a draft invoice in Congress now that may expressly authorize Trump to execute ‘narco-terrorists.’
DC: Yeah. Properly, that is the brainchild of some trumpites in the home who has give you the sensible concept of basically giving the President a clean verify to kill whoever he claims is a narco terrorist. We’ve been down this street earlier than. The authorization to make use of army drive after 9/11 on the time appeared like an acceptable response to an armed assault that killed 3000 civilians by a company that had secure haven in Afghanistan. But it surely was then utilized by successive administrations to go in any case kinds of individuals for focused killings, however at the least that was tied to an precise act of terrorism. This proposal is to say, give the president the authority to declare anybody he doesn’t like a narco terrorist after which execute them. That isn’t one thing you do in a democracy. I hope the proposal dies on the vine and that many Republicans would vote towards it, giving the President that sort of energy if it did come up for a vote. I’m not in favor of drug smuggling, don’t, don’t get me improper, however I’m positively in favor of respecting the dignity of human life and never taking lives of civilians by calling them narco terrorists and taking pictures them out from the skies.
JW: David Cole — his most up-to-date piece about Trump ordering the homicide of Venezuelan civilians is titled ‘Getting Away With Homicide.’ You possibly can learn it at nybooks.com. David, thanks for speaking with us at the moment.
DC: Thanks for speaking.
[BREAK]
JW: There’s a beautiful new historical past of New York Metropolis from the Melancholy by World Battle II that’s out now. It’s known as ‘Gotham at Battle,’ and it’s written by Mike Wallace, who gained the Pulitzer Prize in historical past for the primary quantity in his ‘Gotham’ sequence. To speak about’ Gotham at Battle,’ we flip to Brenda Wineapple. She’s the writer of many extremely acclaimed books, most lately her e book in regards to the Scopes trial, which was 100 years in the past this previous summer season. That e book known as ‘Maintaining the Religion.’ It was a bestseller, named a Greatest Ebook of the Yr by The New Yorker, and it’s out now in paperback. We talked about it right here, with Adam Hochschild. Brenda Wineapple writes frequently for the New York Occasions e book assessment and the New York Overview, and he or she’s at the moment a visiting professor of biography and memoir on the Metropolis College Grad Heart. Brenda, Wineapple, welcome to this system.
Brenda Wineapple: Pleasure to be right here. Thanks.
JW: The place do you start The story of New York Metropolis in World Battle II? Mike Wallace begins his story the day Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany — January thirtieth, 1933. What got here subsequent, after all, was only the start of the assaults on Jews in Germany, however refugees began leaving, and a few Jews in New York thought they need to do one thing. Let’s speak about that early boycott marketing campaign.
BW: The boycott was not simply launched. As soon as it was launched, it was very profitable really. There have been large shops that have been not importing German items, nevertheless it was a drop within the bucket. One of many issues I discovered fascinating and heartbreaking on the identical time on this e book and on this specific time, type of early to mid thirties, is that there have been large numbers of people that knew what was occurring in Germany, knew in regards to the persecution of a large number of individuals and who actually have been decided to attempt to cease it. That was what the boycott actually tried to do, and as I mentioned, it was efficient, however was solely a lot that you possibly can do as a result of, and that is, I feel, Wallace’s subsequent level, there are a lot of industries which can be, I wouldn’t say collaborating– that’s maybe too sturdy–its such a robust phrase lately; however in cahoots with German industrialists.
JW: Let’s say they have been joyful to do enterprise with Hitler.
BW: There you go. Joyful to do enterprise with Hitler.
JW: And let’s identify some names right here.
BW: Properly, you’ve IBM, you’ve GE, you’ve Common Motors. It’s chilling really, as a result of there was a sort of willful ignorance that allowed these companies to disregard what an increasing number of individuals knew was taking place.
JW: And though individuals adopted the information from Germany, anti-war feeling remained very sturdy in america by the thirties and into the 1940 and ’41. Who was anti-war in New York Metropolis — and why?
BW: In New York you’ve these shopping for isolationist teams. I feel probably the most well-known one at the moment is America First and something that’s related both with the radio priest, so-called–Father Caughlin, who was broadcasting from Detroit, not New York, and on the identical time Charles Lindbergh. However on the identical time you had a gaggle of pacifists and anti-war teams which can be additionally towards American intervention, they usually’re very ethical and devoted. I’m not saying that they’re not.
JW: World Battle I nonetheless loomed massive of their considering.
BW: It was like yesterday. So these have been the individuals of type of ethical rectitude who’re very nervous about getting concerned in one other warfare. After which you’ve the Communist occasion too, which is arguing that they didn’t need to get entangled in a warfare of, I feel the phrase was ‘rival imperialisms.’
JW: And there have been Nazis in New York. There was the German American Bund. They introduced hundreds of individuals to Madison Sq. Backyard in 1939–Swastika and American Flags. They denounced ‘Franklin D. Rosenfeld and his Jew deal.’
BW: Oh yeah.
JW: This was an actual drive in New York Metropolis.
BW: Oh yeah, positively. There’s a really massive German and German-American contingent in New York Metropolis for certain. The Nazis don’t change, however definitely a few of the extra pacifist leaning teams do change.
JW: And one of the crucial vital issues here’s what led them to vary. September 1st, 1939, Hitler invades Poland. There’s nonetheless numerous anti-war sentiment that’s in all probability a majority in New York and within the nation. The turning level, Mike Wallace says, didn’t come till September, 1940 when the Luftwaffe started bombing London nearly each evening. And New Yorkers and Individuals may take heed to Edward R Murrow on the radio reporting straight from London and listen to the bombs exploding within the background. Lastly, Wallace says, New York’s combating liberals mobilized to arrange for warfare towards Hitler.
BW: After which after all you’ve Pearl Harbor.
JW: The Mike Wallace e book ‘Gotham at Battle’ has numerous nice tales then in regards to the warfare effort. Let’s simply need to point out a few these. I just like the one about Rex Stout, well-known for writing the Nero Wolf detective sequence. He performs a small however fascinating half in New York at warfare.
BW: He definitely does, I imply very talked-about. And he will get concerned in one of many organizations. The Combat for Freedom Committee, at all times writing for–mainly it’s propaganda, however a viewpoint on the aspect of the angels working towards galvanizing American help for the warfare effort and towards, notably towards Nazis and Nazi persecution. On the identical time, he, he had some fairly nasty issues to say about ladies, ladies within the workforce within the Forties, which is not any small factor as a result of instantly ladies are drawn into the workforce as a result of so many males have been drafted or have signed as much as go abroad. They have been very younger ladies, and one of many issues that Wallace can do is canopy the cultural in addition to the political panorama. And in doing that, he talks about how these younger ladies, usually youngsters, in defiance of kid labor legal guidelines, who’re working, they’ve extra discretionary revenue. And so when he talks in regards to the famous person Frank Sinatra in New York within the Forties, he’s additionally saying that to a big extent it was ladies who made his recognition doable.
JW: And the way about Franz Boas, the anthropologist at Columbia College in 1936? Time Journal put him on the quilt for ‘knocking the flimsy props from beneath Nazi concepts of race purity and race superiority.’
BW: An exquisite and engaging man, Franz Boas, who influenced an infinite variety of anthropologists out of Columbia College the place he was began. He himself was an immigrant too. It was so much in his e book about immigration, and he was a decidedly outspoken voice towards any concept of white or racial superiority. And he was very influential with Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead.
JW: After all, one of the crucial tough subjects for anyone who’s writing about New York Metropolis and World Battle II is what occurred with the reviews of mass killings of Jews in Jap Europe, which began reaching New York Metropolis in June 1942. Historians have been debating for many years the combo of willful ignorance, apathy, and outrage across the relative lack of stories protection of what we now name the Holocaust. And the New York Occasions, after all, is a key factor on this. What does Mike Wallace should say about that? What do it’s important to say about that?
BW: It’s one among these episodes that’s chilling, very tough to learn within the current, as a result of it’s very laborious to separate what we all know from what you could or could not have recognized. The New York Occasions, household owned, Arthur Salzberger is conscious, he’s made conscious of what’s occurring in Germany, however as within the case of people that have been towards the boycott, a lot of them felt that to publicize what’s going on will simply enhance antisemitism on this nation. It appears a disingenuous to say the least viewpoint at the moment.
One of many issues that’s admirable in regards to the e book is that the narrative itself is extraordinarily fair-minded, nevertheless it by no means lacks an ethical middle. And so in simply selecting what to write down about and the data that was coming in by numerous teams, the Polish Bund Group for instance, while you discover out that in, say, for instance, the New York Occasions has the data, nevertheless it’s not on the entrance web page, it’s on web page 10 or 20, I don’t keep in mind, however it’s important to search for it. Individuals who I hope learn this e book will discover themselves in a sort of, as I did, an ethical quandary, which doesn’t imply that you simply lack judgment and outrage, however you attempt to perceive the place individuals have been coming from on the specific time, at the same time as you’re essential of it.
JW: What else is on this e book that we haven’t talked about?
BW: Properly, one of many issues we haven’t talked about, and it’s a really massive a part of this e book, is the way in which the humanities are affected in New York and by New York in the course of the warfare — as a result of you’ve a publishing business that could be very attuned to the truth that instantly there are troopers who’ve what shall be paperbacks of their backpacks in order that they are often studying. On the identical time, you’ve an inflow of immigrants and artists coming from Western Europe primarily, not solely, they usually land in New York, and instantly they’re assembly each other, influencing each other. And out of a few of their conversations and dialogue, you’ve a complete motion that’s largely related to New York, which is Summary Expressionism. So that you even have, we talked about Harlem, however you’ve up in Harlem, you’ve a sort of pleasure of, I suppose the kid of, or totally different sort of music: bebop. So all of these issues seamlessly folded into this ‘Gotham at Battle,’ which isn’t simply at warfare tragically by way of what individuals are studying in regards to the warfare and feeling helpless or indignant in regards to the warfare, but additionally as a result of right here they’re pressured into this place New York the place individuals stay aspect by aspect. And truly there’s a sort of thrilling cross-fertilization out of which artwork comes.
JW: The place do you finish the story of New York Metropolis in World Battle II? In widespread tradition, there’s the long-lasting photograph in Occasions Sq. on VJ Day, the day Japan surrendered, the photograph of the sailor kissing the lady within the white costume in the midst of Occasions Sq. with individuals celebrating throughout them. That image shouldn’t be in Mike Wallace’s e book, and he does have an image of Occasions Sq. on VJ Day, however that’s not the place he ends the story of New York Metropolis in World Battle II.
BW: It’s fascinating, isn’t it? It’s touching really, while you consider the place we began and the place the e book began, and the e book begins in 1933 with Hitler sort of consolidating his energy, and the place the e book ends is within the creation of the United Nations. And I type of have the chills once I say that as a result of you possibly can really see the type of bigger viewpoint. It isn’t optimistic precisely, as a result of Wallace is simply too sensible, too savvy and ethical and too educated a historian, it appears to me, to simply say, oh, good, United Nations right here. We’ve a brand new group devoted to the fellowship amongst individuals. Yeah, that’s true.
However he’s additionally very, he’s fast to level out that and does an excellent job at declaring that the United Nations was itself based with a sequence of compromises. And one of many compromises was that as a lot because it was a sort of optimistic and progressive within the bigger sense of the phrase group, it had no enforcement functionality. And numerous what was, the way it was established was by catering to a gaggle of southern senators to get the United Nations or constitution handed, who have been devoted segregationists and positively didn’t need a company the place they felt that their very own racial politics could be known as into query.
A part of the rationale, too, that the e book ends there may be that, once more, you see that we’re at all times making compromised coalitions for cooperation, that nothing is utopian. But it surely’s additionally fascinating too, provided that the place is the United Nations? It’s situated in New York, and once more, it’s a mixture: what permits it to be situated in New York? it’s large enterprise, it’s politics, it’s a way of a greater world. It’s all of these sort of folded into this constructing, actually the constructing of the constructing.
JW: Brenda Wineapple–she wrote about Mike Wallace’s e book, ‘Gotham at Battle,’ for the New York Overview. Brenda, thanks for speaking with us at the moment.
BW: Thanks, Jon. My pleasure.
