how do you have those things. how do we move in this direction, establishing the eerie canal and the culture looking back to belief that would not be out of place in 1619. so i want to talk and keep that in the back of your head. i want to talk about conspiracy theorists, we talk about american conspiracies, what are the kind of conspiracies that we are talking about, what are the conspiracies that you know about the united states? >> we did not land on the moon. >> the moon hoax. >> by the united states government to takeaway -- >> right, this is second amendment kind of stuff. sandy hook didn't happen. others? j.f.k. assassination. holocaust didn't happen. parkland shooting was set up. right. we can go on and on. here is the short list. kennedy assassination. nafta is the north american free trade agreement but there was an argument that nafta was leading into what was going to be a try union of united states, canada and mexico. report about red money and combine currencies and people thought this was going to b

i wasn't my thing. i would say the majority of people who come here are people who come to the park regularly. they live in the area of a big chunk of them are on fixed income or are on disability or on unemployment, or on food stamps, and don't really have a huge budget for their groceries. there are a lot of other places to provide deals for people in the area. one of them, you know, is government based. another one is the church nearby, but the majority are, you need to prove your financial need. you need to somehow prove that you need the help when it comes to food, not bombs, will serve absolutely anyone you know, whether they're doing well or not. because it's about, you know, redirecting food ways. it's about, you know, these, any, any amount of food that we serve them is that they are not paying a grocery store for, or, you know, consuming and feeding into the market and creating more ways in the community fridge that we come to after. we finish serving whenever we have leftovers we. we just put

>> we are seeing some things happening like the podcasts and all kinds of strange new things that i don't i am not doing any of that stuff but i am willing to admit it might be worth doing. they will be things that will open up for all people and young women will, if they've got the stuff, they will get into it and do it. i think it may be different from what we did. i depended upon all these things, all the books, it is a whole new world out there now in the area. i think they will have challenges that we can't imagine. >> i think it's wonderful, exciting and fun. it is hard work. i have a niece who won this year, the first radio bullets are and she started wondering about what to do for a living, it looks like so much fun when she was about eight years old so it is very hard work but if you can do it, you're going to have a ball. >> i agree, i can't think of a better way to understand and see the world and feel you are making a difference, making things clearer for other people who may not follow it as carefully. i have a story about my granddaughter who tomorrow turns 13. i didn't ask

and this sort of thing. they were often set in boarding houses and that's how she would have women who were not necessarily related interacting with each other and i think what happened is quickly if you're doing a daily show, you start to realize like i've got to snap this up. so they start today really escalate and something she did actually bring to the genre at idea of having like doctors and lawyers, she was very into doctors, well, into both, actually and she had a lot of doctors and lawyers in her own life so i think this is telling. but she actually is a contributing to something like grey's anatomy she saw how you had a doctor on the guiding light, she had a pastor, so what that allowed was people could come to the pastor with problems, and that made more sense that they were having constant dramatic problems because they were coming to him with problems and the same thing with something like a doctor. of course they see stuff because they're a doctor. so she kind of brought this idea of the profess

[laughter] >> i do think it is a fabulous thing not to do the same thing every day.hat's what i have learned about what you will do that day that you don't know. it keeps your brain exercise. >> i have had a wonderful year during the pandemic investigating your lives and sticking together the story of public radio of the backdrop and your lives it's been an honor and a privilege and am so grateful to the archives for hosting us and grateful for'l your time and graciousness to join me tonight and archives matter a lot. >> it wasn't comprehensive i hope there are more to come but i hope you read it and hopefully we will meet up at the archives sometime. thank you so much >> good evening, everyone. i'm katy, the director of services for kansas city public library. thank you for joining us for a signature event, celebrating women's hit month, when women invented television with jennifer armstrong. i like my job at kcpl

so people can bring things to give away and people can come and take things for free. and this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. this was in the trash of a store because christmas was over. so it's a completely good item that became garbage tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out and write it off rather than give it to somebody who could use it. because then that person is not going to buy it, of the core of the philosophy is reducing waste, whatever would otherwise become waste, stopping it from becoming waste. and instead using it in a way that transcends traditional capitalist markets. there is no exchange of money . so we're just looking to use things that other people no longer have any use for or have decided not to have a use for i'm just showing mark a gift that i'm bringing in. i found that st recently like this week. really. how that's a nice find. that's awesome. yeah. yeah. so yeah. besides the missing strings that has like this might

the next thing. i do not recall of those stories other people can tell you, unless someone jiggles my brain and reminds me. yes i remember that, had one of those about two days ago, ran into somebody who came up to me and said do you remember when you came to the store, we showed you around and i did. but it must have been 15 years ago. those things and something i had done that got his attention. it is that type of thing. that's when i say you never know when you'll have an effect on women. young women i used to love having young women be interested in my office. you could help and mentor them when they're trying to figure out what they wanted to do in life. it was always great to watch and then what happens. a lot of them became really successful. if you like to think maybe that little bit of whatever you did in their life made a difference. it is that type of thing in trying to help other people along. i think that is an important part of this job. >> you are in elected leadership position you are

we can think of those things and the ideas of those things. but then we use languages to describe it to someone else. if we're not using speech, potentially we don't need language. those things will change dramatically. i know philosophers, are we thinking language i, i honestly don't believe we do think specifically in some language construct. i think we both languages on it, but it's something that will change dramatically and i may be abilities. motor ability is the ability to play golf and song which again, i'm not particularly good. but if, if i can down load and i think that's got to be some short term possibility. download a number of movements into my body, which will cause me to play golf a little bit better. i probably still won't be as good as the professional gulf is are, but i can see why those particular type of movements in a, in a sort of robotic way, be done loaded into my brain. so i perform some set of actions, but my body is not a professional. gulf is body, so still probably wouldn't be as good, but it would be a lot bette

, reminded us of a few thing. one of them, the physical reality is real. i have spent 30 years trying with varying degrees of success to convince people that chemistry and physics are real and if they don't negotiate a compromise it will have to follow the dictates and the pandemic was a reminder that biology works the same way, didn't do any good that our president told us it was going to go away or whatever. he wasn't in charge, the microbe was in charge, if you don't stand 6 feet apart and wear a mask it was the -- it is the authority. one of the corollaries when you are dealing with physical reality, sometimes speed is an important factor. our systems are not geared for speed, one of the things historians will note when you write about the pandemic is that the us and south korea had their first case of coronavirus on the same day in january of 2020. the south koreans went right to work and everybody got a mask, started testing everybody on and on. fewer people died in south korea at the height of the trouble i

but here's the thing. you know, we have a lot of our people who have been in jail for many, many years, and they've turned and they want to do the work, right? we have to introduce them back into the community in a way that allows the community to receive them in the way they need to be received. but if they're just in the community and they're suffering just like everyone else, there's more trauma compiled back on top of it. it reminds me when i saw my father come home from viet nam more. there was nothing there to help them, and many of these youth are our same youth who are dealing with ptsd. so if we're dealing with a gun ridden community, it's a war zone, and as a war zone, we have to treat many of our young men like soldiers, and that's how they placate themselves, to be like soldiers. we have to get them to be soldiers for themselves, soldiers for the community, and soldiers for the bayview. again, my name is malik, but our murals are the mirror of what we want for ourselves and our community. again

and do the right thing.and we passed the bipartisan bill that's a good piece of legislation, i could talk about it for the next hour. but the fact is that some things did not address, it did not address things like housing, it addressed climate issues but we need even more. and quite frankly, that doesn't mean we have to stem through in a house trillion dollars, but it means that we have to do something meaningful and we have to spend that money right. >> do you, who are the people that you talk to? why the people that you're closest student in the democratic caucus? >> i tried to talk to everybody. >> that's a very politician answer. >> it depends on how i eat lunch with, today was booker, it was bennett, i also talked to jeanne shaheen, visit with maggie hanson. >> here's why i'm asking this. i have a sense of what the groups internal in the house are. and i have some sense of the ten progressive senators who said look we want both bills to pass, and then you have folks like mention into them who are in th

some asking what are some of your things and you can get rid of. like there are so many little policies. in a kind of felt like okay, i don't know. probably 99 of a hundred of them make this model work. and he pretty much just don't know what is making it work and so i think the administrators realize that they had other goals for their students and for her school. a woman that i admire a lot talk a lot about her goals to help the students develop voices and make the critical conscience and a difference in their community. i would ask her about it. and they would talk about it. you know, she acknowledged that. but i don't think there has been room to make changes about what they had established already. so they define themselves in a bind. and it is hard because you cannot just travel on the edges. it is such a critical model. you have to make significant changes to make something out of this. >> you're obviously a sociologist. in this book that squarely within the tradition of them looking at schools and how they reproduce the social order. this i

>> there absolutely is such a thing as cancel culture. you don't even need to ask me you can go onto facebook and see the amount of people that are constantly attacked or anything to do. that's not to say you can't disagree. this is the most liberal thing you can do, put your idea out there and let it be countered and let the best ideas when. let the sunlight be the best disinfectant. but we've decided if we don't like something and in the most pro verse way if we can cancel from the past to somehow remedy the present we've gotten rid of and jemima and nobody really knows why. we got rid of uncle ben and nobody really knows why so we are taking black people of products you see in stores so should we only see white people and products in stores and that would be that tolerant society we are building? that sounds like a white supremacist society if you willy saw white people on the product yet that is being brought to us by the supposedly tolerant progressives so we cancel things like that. one that i love to bring up is hulu canceled an ep

very first thing.n i have been in these cars, when there is nobody in the driver's seat, it has been good and fine. david: do you wear a crash helmet when you are if those cars? reid: no. [laughter] david: ok. what about flying taxis, is that in our future? reid: there is. i helped bring joby public and it has moved the transport grid from 2d to 3d, redefined cities, make commutes much less onerous, getting to the airport on time, being able to live more remote and then coming to the cities. the jetsons is no longer science fiction, but on its way to being science fact. david: what about space? do you invest in outer space-related investments? reid: not as intensely as some of my friends like elon. i put some money into spacex. that is more of elon and his amazing transformation of the world. but it is obviously an important area. i have kind of ended up in it sometimes just by who i know. ♪ ♪ david: let's talk about how you became an investor and entrepreneur. you were going to be an academic, and the

things are going well between us. ,, things are going well between us, ,, ..,, things are going wellusands of - us. us officials moved thousands of migrants us. us officials moved - thousands of migrants from the us border town after a rapid influx missing from haiti. a month after the taliban takeover in afghanistan — secondary schools reopen — but only for boys. as america admits a drone strike killed ten afghan civilians by mistake — relatives say the us apology, isn�*t enough.

if you can encourage them to do more things, church things, synagogue things. art things, read books. you have to read books mom and dad as a role model. i recommend in how to raise a conservative daughter, just a few books, some in history, some general, good books get your kids reading books and get them reading good books and you have to read good books. and these kind of things are so much better to fill their life than the emptiness and the phoniness of so much social media. i really believe it needs to be restricted more than most parents do. >> it's interesting, i love that you kind of challenge parents to be good models. because i know that a lot of parents out there, both kind of in their personal lives and also as parents spend an awful lot of time making sure they have really cute pictures of their kids doing x, y and z, that's fine but it doesn't replace actually doing the hard work of making sure you're spending enough quality time with your kid and putting your own phone at a model and always not staring at a screen yourself. >> it's hard. many mo

because we're, we're not encouraged to view things when on courage to zoom out and view things from the border perspective. really, i mean, not given a chance to at any point because you know, each of our personal lives is such a struggle merely to stay afloat anyway. that that was probably the pivotal thing for me, but the book is just always trying to encourage people to zoom out and see the links and see what the root cause is about problems are because where often so kind of lead to just create. so of, you know, a class is like band aid like to our problems and instead of actually tree thing, the real, you know, disease which a so often leads us back to the profit. my most say that leaves us back to individual ism, to neoliberalism, to this narrative, that we're all completely independent of each other, which goes against all, you know, the say she ology and psychology and, and how we grew and evolved the space she, when, when you see this kind of overarching structure, your book advocates, hope over blind optimism. just explain that concept because it does seem increasingly once yo

and the fact that you are actually able to solve those things as a kid. let's say you're playing this game. the way that you're solving them makes you think in a certain pattern. and when you're in school, in your math class, and you encounter this type of this type of problem, but you've solved it in a different way with a different different representation and the game in your song. and in real life, you're like, oh, this is like that game. you know, this is cool. i know how to do this already. you know, and so as a kid, you feel like you actually, this game is really useful to me. this is really this. i didn't even know i could do this and now the math because teach me how to do this and you'll answer it and you like it. and now, because you expose kids to math concepts and again, that makes it easier for them to learn math and real life. you've now have somebody who might be on the path through a stem career at some point where math is a gateway to success. and you might have somebody who is really interested in that now because it's not hard or scary

i think it can be a larger thing thing getting off of drugs. it is either recovery and abstinence or it is harm reduction. that is how it was framed out there. those of us in harm reduction were vilified. it was almost as if people were imagining we were snapping people in recovery shooting them up with heroin and then sending them off again. and then there were people in harm reduction, many of whom had been hurt in forms of the recovery community, not having anything to do without. they are a bunch of, i think the expression, if this offends anybody, i apologize. i am quoting and i am not endorsing it. you know, everybody was marching in line with the 12 stepping. so, i think that there was a polarization and i think that it is a false one. certainly, people who are very active had been part of the recovery community, i am looking at the chat and two of my favorite people on this planet. how can you not love him. i hope that he is blushing right now. and mary, my white daughter who runs an outreach for youth. they are both, they have been par

they called you this bad thing, you're still here. and, again, if you just keep going forward, keep doing what you believe is right and keep using logic and reason, hopefully, and being a decent human being and trying to connect with other decent human beings, you will suddenly realize that their cries of naziism are nothing but false words, and they only have power if you give them power. >> host: i want to bring in another person who played a role in your coming out as a conservative, and that was larry elder. >> guest: oh, i love larry elder. i'm here at freedom fest right now. i think larry's going to speak in a little bit. i actuallied had him on my show in los angeles this week. of course, he's running for governor of los angeles, and i think he actually really has a shot. larry has this very famous moment that has now been seen millions and millions of times and clicked into youtube where i was still a lefty, and i was sitting down with larry elder, of course, conservative radio host from los angeles, been in the fight for 30 s

by 1963, he knew things were awful.was emotional there was a time when he said would usurp -- no, why would i go back to this country? but then a couple of days he said i think i probably would so he heard them. to me, it captures the attention of the moment. the country is at the verge of an explosion and what to do, how to fix it and what you do? i think what you see is everybody had to do it. they realized the main part of their job was to talk to white people, talk to majority in the country if they were the problem. after the meeting someone said they are a little shook up. we meet with black groups again. yes, of course. you're not the problem, it's the white people. the white people are denying their rights so it's a dramatic meeting and i open the book because it's a snapshot of that moment but two days later they have the challenge, it was a fire on every side. what you think in terms of how i approached the meeting and of course at the end of the book surprises me with baldwin in the kennedy library of looking

not just things like hurricanes and natural things coming through in small things like trees falling across the trail. but just the idea of how one after what has acquired the land others through imminent donation or whether the park service or when the bureaucratic government agency. it was struck by the tension between the collaborative elements of local clubs maintained at different sections in the larger oversight taking place and who is funding this and who is funding that. but i rarely stop to think about who was actually going out and clearing the trail and making sure the blazes were trailed. >> is hundreds of volunteers organized into dozens of clubs and then they all fall under the umbrella but is now called the appalachian trail service agency. but it says to get out of work. and there's a small professional staff at the atc, but the folks out there, clearing away over growth and trees that have fallen down and doing the best to build the trail in a way that would cause less erosion like building steps or putting down groundcover. all of that are fully volunteered on the w

but that's one of the things. with gun rights that we know it's levels the playing field so it changed the energy protest that day. two police kind of stood down. they were there, they were being firm but they had their police dogs but there wasn't this mast rounding up and arresting that i think would have happened had that not been the case. they then took this child who was a 17-year-old boy to the police station. several of our community activists went to the police station. we raised money just by passing a hat in the foyer to pay his bail. we call the parents. they came to get him. that kid was out there the next week. they did follow-up protests for a while. so that's the kind of fun stuff we get up to in the free state of new hampshire course again, the drug war is not a joke. this is something where we are taking people and we're incarcerating them and not only that, we are actually creating an entire society that has this downstream problem. with destroyed families, single parents families. we know stati

this sort of thing.hey were often set in boarding houses and women who weren't necessarily related interacting with each other, and then i think what happened is if you're doing a daytime -- a daily show, you start realize i have to snap this up and so they start to really escalate and something he did brings to the onreraise the idea of -- genre is having doctors and lawyers and in her own life and this is telling but she actually is a contributor to something like "grey's anatomy" in the sense she saw how if you had a doctor like on the guiding light she had a pastor, so what that allowed was people could come to the pastor with problems and that -- made more sense they were having constant dramatic problems because they were comping to him with problems and the same thing with something like a doctor. of course they see stuff because they're a doctor. so she kind of brought this idea of the professional as a conduit of drama. >> that is -- just make mess think about the favorite shows in a totally dif

the hearing things that normal people won't hear seeing things that normal people don't see he is. he sees details that we don't and he hears things that we don't. and i would love to see the world as he sees it because he he picks up everything. he feels things that we don't feel temperature variation differences and textures smells. and he thought i'd never, ever, ever like him to be quote normal cuz kids with autism rock he shopping yankee shot 22. he shot you know? 25. 0 that he talks about he wants an aka ruins. been that much money but yeah, he has, he has, you know, when he gets hundreds and gets healthy, him for him stand up for a long period of time and handle the recall. go shooting me on lemon 18. busy day to day. biggest story in our city, for sure. when your remembrance of the clackamas town center shooting. cindy, your last or life there should hospice care nurse or daughter jenna is in the studio minutes. how are you doing it yearly? i don't know. not great. honestly. angry. i would be so yeah. ringback ringback someone asked me the other day if i will ever be able t

the most important thing to me about sports are two things -- there are certain things in life that happen and you miss an the one thing you can never get back is time. you can lose money and make money back. your health is important but there are things, but the when thing you can't get back his time. they are never 14 again. one thing that happens when you run for office, i met a lot of people who have made a lot of money and done great things and not a single one of them has told me i wish i had spent less time with my kids and were on my career. you don't get that back. i would not have understood that 15 years ago. that is first. and the value of sports, i think competition is important but the most important things in life are lessons i talked about. sports and other endeavors can help teach those lessons. if you show up on time and do what you have to do, the outcome isn't always going to be what you want but that process of showing up on time and meeting your responsibility is 90% of life. sports is a great teacher of it. that is why i wanted my kids to go into sports. [applause] j

so there is a variety of things i'm doing.n you meet with your local franchisees anywhere in the world, do you have lunch at mcdonald's or do you say, let's go somewhere else? chris: we will always eat in the restaurant. dinner we will typically go somewhere other than mcdonald's, but breakfast and lunch will always be in a mcdonald's. david: do you ever go your to your competitor's stores to get some new information? chris: we do. we do. we usually do not stay there too long. usually the service and food is not as good and the service isn't as good either, but we will go in there to check. david: mcdonald's is always coming up with new products. everybody is coming up with new products in every line of business, but you are always coming up with new food products that people will presumably like. but you taste them all yourself, and do you have to approve a new product? or do you just say, i have other people that do the food tasting? chris: we've a great menu team. it is their job to work typically with franchisees and custo

it is why we remember certain things and why we don't remember other things. i think that for a lot of people, even at the time, they didn't really want to dwell on this because one of the logical questions you could ask is, why? why did so many of these men have to die? it raises some uncomfortable questions about american military leadership and were we sending untrained men into battle who weren't really ready to fight. right? when you think of the needless, senseless slaughter era of the world wars. this is a battle in which sergeant york performs this sort of heroic feat and he gets really pumped up, not to take anything away from him, almost like they kind of need a hero. they need somebody there to say something great about this hard, hard slog. even though it results in tend of the war, there is no sense of satisfaction that americans seem to feel about this, a lot of people died. why did they die? that's what americans actually want to know. that's what they're not sure about. and this kind of feeds in to our last myth here, world war i was quickly fo

you know, just the pivotal thing. well, let's talk about at the time to read them because one of the things that was really interesting that you come back to in your book is about the 2 tools that humanity has its disposal. and there's a really conversation and talking and violence being the other one. again, when you say you're not complete and you think about, well what, what do we have? our disposal is literally, we can communicate with each other or we can use brute force. and that's basically what we have either species and the ways in which we're encouraged to communicate at the moment. so if we look at social media as the main example, you know, that's how we really converse with most people in our lives. definitely with strangers. the ways in which social media are structured kind of lead us not to communicate, but actually the opposite. there's been a lot of research done in as soon as you take away the face and it's just text, we're much more likely to humanize others. and look at social media, you see that

is that a good or bad thing? noubar: it is possible, i'm not sure it is a good thing. alone on a planet that is dying. we have to think about our existence not as individuals any more than our hepatocytes in our liver think of whether we are going to live. they think of whether your whole body is going to live. if we don't start thinking about whether our society is going to live in our planet is going to live, then it is a moot point whether we as individuals live to 110. there is a reckoning, we have to create an environment within which it is worth living. david: did your parents live to see your success? noubar: my parents -- i lost my parents in the late 1990's and early 2000's. they saw a far greater success than they would have ever imagined or wanted. they did not see the most recent few years, let alone the last 12 months, but i know they fell the -- felt that the decisions they made on behalf of their children, particularly moving us to north america, and giving us the opportunity this country gave us has been more than validated. david: what keeps you motiva

it's nice to just focus on a couple hard things and the thing you can get anywhere. anyone can tell you a hard coming out story whether it's a 13-year-old or someone older or someone trans, this doesn't exist as much. that's how that happened. i like this, that's what you expect. >> when you are pregnant with leo, you talk in the book about issues that came up because of publicity you've done but in your own life, did you encounter people either trans or other we are people who helped -- felt betrayed her people on the street who gave you strange look? how did this goo down? >> i know expect women to be mad at me because i'm the one who starved out of the lady party 20 years ago, slammed the door on their faces and swore i'd never do back. now i'm inching my way back then, i totally get that. for me, truly the biggest fear i have going into telling our story publicly, i was worried about the back lash within the trans community because i expect people to do other things. but this was my own way giving a gift to my community, both past, present and future. that was th

it was that kindnd of thing.so for that reason it was the fourth network at the time offered her the chance to have her own variety show in prime so first it was just in new york city and she loved this because she could stay home with her son instead of traveling all over the country to perform. and it was so popular that it expanded to multiple nights a week in new york and then finally it expanded nationally and to have a primetime show that was national and this was 1950. so really the big deal. this was in an incredible time to be making thisre breakthrough and unfortunately it burns bright and fast because she ran intool the hollywood blacklist d was listed in this complication that claimed to tell you who might be a communist. they said these people might be. do what you want. and as you sort of eluded to, i think heroically they volunteered to go beyond the committeeou because she thought she could clear her name by doing this. but really what she was doing is standing up for what was right and gave thisr

that and often people have forgetting for certain things. so much to be neglectful or not that i'm not sure that's at the anonymous questionnaire was asking. >> not a question but a memory experience while trying to remember the name of a high school teacher i picture a clam when i finally remember the name i realized it was ronald donald i am associating the without well-known mcdonald's clown in my brain was showing me the way. >> that is spot on i don't know if anybody knows about memory magicians. and these memory athletes that can walk into a room and memorize all these names so they also tap into the hippocampus and the more you populate that stage with information and associations the more you can retrieve the memory that's a very interesting anecdote in the way i understand memory works. >> we have a question about sleep from anna. with those aspects of memory is there a difference between natural sleep and sleep with assistance or sleeping aids? >> there is a real debate because there is a distinct difference. i'm not asleep doctor

seeing both of these things together i think there is a far more complete understanding of this thing we call american democracy. certainly will have plenty of time to talk about that. that's the first point i would make the federal state constitution together. deriving from that, the chronological scope of the exhibit the time frame the exhibit tries to cover not comprehensively but in some way wheat range from documents of the charter, all the way through the early 20th century. even that end date is a bit arbitrary it reflects the fact the papers out an early 20th century. the whole point and the exhibit in some ways this experiment in constitutional democracy is not limited to one moment. it is ongoing and it's never going to stop. by having that long timeframe, i think we make an important point there. alongside that is geographical. the object of the exhibit expands all corners of the united states ultimately. were you really cool, very important will talk about it. that's not the only place constitutional making is going on and small towns and places all over the country this w

how do you have those things? how do we move if toward modernity, establishing the eerie canal -- erie canal and also looking back to beliefs that would not be out of place in the 1690s, right? so keep that in the back of your head. when i say conspiracy theorist or we talk about american conspiracies, what are some of the kind of conspiracies that we're talking about? what are conspiracy that you know of in the united states? yes, ma'am. >> [inaudible] >> we did not land on the moon. the moon hoax -- >> i had a student tell me this year that the las vegas shooting was a ploy by the united states government to take away their guns. >> this is second amendment kind of new world order stuff. yes. >> [inaudible] >> sandy hook didn't happen. right? others? >> [inaudible] >> jfk assassination. >> the holocaust -- >> holocaust didn't happen. >> [inaudible] >> parkland shooting was set up, right? >> [inaudible] >> so we could go on and on and on, right? so here's the short list: kennedy assassination, birthers, truthers

back in march '39%, four in ten americans say things are going fairly well. 60% say things are badly. look at the jump. 7 in 10 americans. 69% say things are going pretty poorly. that is a political toll on a president in the middle of a public health crisis which is why yesterday he said i want to do more, but this is not really my problem. >> the unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals. overrunning emergency rooms and intensive care units. my message to unvaccinated americans is this. what more is there to wait for? what more do you need to see? we've been patient but our patience is wearing thin. and your refusal has cost all of us. >> with me here in studio to share the reporting, dana bash, olivia knox at "the washington post," and others. you see plainly transparentally the president's frustration, exhaustion to a degree with we've been at this, made vaccines available and up goes the case count and a decent chunk of america is not listening. is that the gateway to getting the help when he knows a lot of the people he needs to get a shot didn't vote for him, don't necessarily like

and not be so caught up on external things and things that don't really matter. and i just wish people would realize that there is an agenda behind dividing us and it's part of what'sdestroying america . >> in 2016 carol swain's book how liberalism steals our children's hearts and minds came out . and in that book she writes that the academic world is defined by cultural relativism. what is cultural relativism? >> it ties into again, this is part of postmodernism. and postmodernism, cultural marxism, all of these feed into critical theory. but it's like there's no absolute truth. all cultures are the same. and so there's no right and wrong. and that is part of the message that you get at universities and with the culture of relativism , one time the political left said they could not judge, that there were no absolute truths but now they seem to have identified some absolute truths and in many ways, they become, they had their own religion going on and they're starting to move in and move out and who is to be canceled, and you know, we haven't talked about this b

not just for things like hurricanes, natural things get small things like trees falling across trails. just the idea of how one has acquired the land through imminent domain the others having managed a park service or another bureaucratic government agency. i was struck by the tension between the collaborative elements of local clubs who will maintain different sections and then the larger oversights that are taking place, who is funding this, who is funding that. i rarely stop to think about who actually is going out, clearing trail and making sure they're available. >> it is hundreds of volunteers organized into dozens of clubs then all fall under the umbrella of what's called the appalachian trail conservancy. it does take a ton of work. there is a small professional staff, but the folks that are out there clear away the overgrowth, the trees that have fallen down, and doing their best to build a trail it will cause less erosion. sometimes that means building steps or ground cover. all of those are folks volunteering and going together on club outings to go out and keep the thing r

ah, the dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah ah, ah hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, is the biden presidency in terminal decline. this administration's handling of the coven pandemic, the economy, and not least afghanistan, these, this president underwater, in the polls in a big way in the country today is just as divided as under trump. can this president turn things around the cross hockey in the binding presidency? i'm joined by my guess internet panama, in london. he is professor of international politics at city university of london, as well as visiting professor at the london school of economics in atlanta. we have robert patello. he is a civil rights attorney and radio host, and in bulgaria, we cross the julio rivera. he is the editorial director of reactionary times identifying crossfire girls and a fact that means he can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. let's go to our guest in london, interested sometimes when you have distance from a situation,

, it is a work thing.think it is the best example of writing that book, you know, some animals are more equal than others. animals are equal, then it gets revised, and it reminds me of true story, members of congress, both parties, going to a climate change summit in copenhagen, but taking a few-sucking jet to get there and bringing along their spouses and their staff and making it a huge party. >> exactly, that is what it is. it's for the environment, though. if you party for the environment, terrence, it is okay. what do you make of this whole met gala thing? >> i agree with tyrus. i thought when i saw that, it did look like a chick-fil-a to go bag that i threw away. it looked like the one i threw away. i don't know how she found it. i don't know how she found that. this is what i was trying to understand. i need somebody to help me make this make sense. aoc cares about the poor people. she cares about taxing the rich. now, like tyrus said, how did you afford that $30,000 ticket? but i read that they wer

we don't like empire, but one of the things are in the book and one of the things that i felt experientially that i had seen with my own eyes, was that the united states was ever always and continues to be an empire. just maybe not of the maritime late 900 century european sword. but there's been all kinds of empires and industry and currently were an empire of bases and economics and expeditionary interventions. and any mythology needs a, a found a founding myth origin miss. you go through a couple of them. just tell me about why why we don't hear about jamestown. it's a peculiar thing. origin miss you would think would start at the beginning. the 1st permanent, you know, british settlement is a jamestown 16 o 7, but that's not what we really celebrate in the united states. that's not our origin . the origin myth is thanksgiving. it's pilgrims, it's buckles on black. has, it's this notion that the united states was founded as a haven for, you know, religious, you know, right, you know, the right to practice religion. that's interesting that we choose that. of course, it's a myth, massachuse
