Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) responded to the Democratic Party’s eleventh-hour change-up — replacing President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris without a vote and just days before the Democratic National Convention kicked off — and although he cracked a few jokes about it, he did not appear to be completely sold on or thrilled with the arrangement. Newsom — who had at one point been rumored to be on the short list of potential candidates the Democratic Party might choose from if Biden bowed out — joined the hosts of the podcast “Pod Save America” while at the DNC, and they pressed him about “the switch.” WATCH:  ?Wow. Gavin Newsom mocks the Democrats’ coronation of Kamala Harris: Host: “How are you feeling about the switch?” Newsom: “We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process. It was bottom-up, I don’t know if you know that. That’s what I’ve been told to say.” pic.twitter.com/yz9AVq2TN6 — Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) August 24, 2024 “How are you feeling about the switch?” one of the hosts asked. “I mean … the switch,” Newsom shrugged and laughed. “Now, we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process. It was bottom-up, I don’t know if you know that. Yes, that’s what I’ve been told to say.” The hosts laughed at Newsom’s exaggerated tone. “It was a blitz primary, I believe that what we called it,” one said, and another chimed in, “A very very fast blitz.” “A 30-minute convention,” Newsom continued. “You know, between a tweet and then another tweet —” “It’s amazing how it happened,” one of the hosts laughed. “Yeah, it’s been amazing, but you know what is amazing is how unified everybody is,” Newsom concluded. “I mean, it’s next level.”

If the fear of failure is holding you back from chasing your dreams, then Adrian Anantawan has a message for you. This one-handed violin player is proving to the world that you can do anything you set your mind to. As he shares his beautiful music, he hopes to also share that important message. One-Handed Violin Virtuoso Shares Important Message Adrian Anatawan had an incredible solo when performing with the Boston Landmarks Orchestra. Good Morning America (GMA) wrote that he “hoped when it was his turn to play, the audience would hear his violin and what it represented: the sound of possibility.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adrian Anantawan (@adriananantawan) Too often in life, people let the fear of failure or looking stupid stop them from following their passions. Adrian has no such qualms. He told GMA, “My story has always been a result of just trying something, being okay with failure, and then just seeing what the results are.” While an inspirational musician is not unheard of, Adrian’s physical condition makes him unique. Adrian lacks a right hand and the majority of his right forearm. With only five fingers to work with, Adrian found many instruments difficult. A Star Is Born Adrian’s family said in the fifth grade, all students were required to play the recorder. However, that instrument was not made with people like Adrian in mind. Although some instruments, like the trumpet, would have been easy for Adrian to master, he wanted an instrument that spoke to him. The budding musician considered the violin “the most beautiful instrument” but recognized it was not made for one-handed musicians. Rather than accept defeat, Adrian’s family worked with engineers to build a violin just for him. His violin has a special device that allows him to use his shoulder to make the sound. The musician told GMA, “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination.” Adrian Anantawan Encourages Inclusivity While Adrian Anatawan recognizes the incredible assistance of the engineers and his special instrument, he argues that his success did not begin there. Adrian says it all starts with a belief in oneself. He argues that teachers and supporters in children’s lives need to make them believe that they can accomplish anything. With that attitude, anything truly is possible. One lesson we can all learn from Adrian is not to let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. Believe in yourself and go after your dreams. The source of the featured image can be found here.
