"One day in january. Take a listen for yourself. i can tell you that. We parted amicably at the end of the administration. And we've talked a number of times since we both left office. I know the media wants to distract from the biden. Administration's failed agenda by focusing on one day in january. They wanna use that one day to try and demean the the the character and intentions of seventy four million americans who believed we could be strong again and prosperous again and supported our administration in two thousand sixteen and twenty twenty now january. Six of course wasn't just one day in january. It was the first time the. Us capital had been breached in more than two hundred years. The subject of a select house committee investigation and it was these shocking culmination of the tumultuous trump white house but penn said it was just one day in january. Now grisham told. Cnn's new day that penson trump's dynamic is a big part of the book and that despite everything that has happened she says trump is still quote the leader of the republican party so most republicans file behind him no matter what donald trump and as long as you stay on his good side. You know that's all that matters and it's scary to me. I personally right now on this little island alone. But i think that's what it is right now. People are scared of him. He's a bully. I'm just hoping that at some point. People will kind of break out of this spell if it is And see see. What's really going on mike pence. I i really respect. And he's he's a good man of faith and He's very principled. So i was. I was at in to see that he did that. Last night. she also talked about trump and his administration's response to cove in nineteen. I think the way we handled kovic was was tragic. I think that the president's vanity got in the way i he was he was working for his base. He was not working for his this country. He you know he didn't wear a mask quickly enough. I was part of that. And i don't think i'll ever forgive myself with with respect to cove it. I don't think i can ever redeem myself. Grisham noted that mrs trump did wear a mask and gave. Psa's about the benefit of masks. thus grisham hoped. The first lady would convince her husband to wear a mask and encourage other people to wear them as well. Grisham also told cnn. She believes trump's rhetoric did in fact hurt democracy. I believe biden is our president. And i believe that the election was valid. And i think right now. That is one of our biggest threats to democracy. We can't just stop our feet and say oh no. I didn't win this it. It's we have an election system and she took responsibility for her actions and said she personally played a role in hurting. Democracy grisham also described the quote culture of abuse at the trump white house. The president's son-in-law jared kushner was a senior adviser at the white house who grisham said quote. Got really heavy with power adding that nobody was allowed to challenge jared and she said that kushner. Ivanka trump apparently believed they were a quote shadow. First lady and president xi also said trump was very mean when he yelled at his staff saying everyone was just trying to always keep the former president. Happy grisham speculated that if trump won in two thousand twenty four the people working for him would most likely be the people who are still pushing the big lie that the election was stolen and justifying the actions of those involved in the january six capital riot. That's it for.

Alfred Wegner Takes Continental Drift to the Next Level
"It was a really interesting guy. Born in eighteen eighty in germany got his degree in astronomy but became meteorologist which was still a rather new field at the time. His primary interest was in the northern polar regions. And how air circulated. He participated in four expeditions to greenland and was one of the first meteorologist to adopt the use of weather balloons. However meteorology and expeditions to greenland aren't what alfred wegener is best known for its for his contributions to geology and geophysics. The idea that he is remembered for began innocently enough on christmas day nineteen ten. He was at his friend's house when he began looking at his brand new world. Atlas he made the observation that south america and africa seemed like they fit together like pieces in a puzzle. I should that he was far from the first person to notice this once. Decent maps began being published. In the last part of the sixteenth century people. i observed the same thing. The first person we know of who made the observation was dutch. Cartographer abraham or telling us or telling us created the first modern atlas in fifteen seventy which means he was probably the first person to have the idea because no one before that really had a good grasp of the geography of the continent's william colby wrote in his book on geologic history. Quote abraham are telling us in his work to doris geographic suggested that the americas were torn away from europe and africa by earthquakes and floods and went on to say the vestiges of the rupture. Reveal themselves if someone brings forward a map of the world and considers carefully the coasts of the three continents and quote. Ortelius was far from alone after him. The idea that the continents fit together somehow kept popping up theater. Christoph lilienthal alexander von humboldt antonio snider pellegrini and alfred russel wallace all made the same observation one or two hundred years before moreover there were several other scientists just a decade before who came to a similar conclusion. In fact. there's a good chance that you probably made the same observation. One of the first times that you saw a world map they took the idea to another level however he began by cutting up maps and piecing the landmasses together like a puzzle. He was able to put the continents together into one giant continent that he named panja from the greek words for all and land.

"Today's the day we get a new picture of just what america looks like. The census bureau is set to reveal. Its latest count after significant delays. This new population data will give us the most up-to-date look at this country's racial and ethnic makeup but remember a lot of that data was collected in the middle of a pandemic. So how accurate can it really be. Npr census correspondent hansi. Long joins us. Now good morning hansie. Good morning debbie. So exactly what kind of information are we talking about. what are we going to get from the census bureau. Today we're getting new. Population counts for local communities size of their adult populations numbers of people living in college. Dorms prisons other group living quarters plus the racial identities of people around the country. And whether or not they identify as hispanic or latino you know. It's the basic demographic information political matt makers need to redraw voting districts prepare for elections for the next decade but this census data will beginning a lot of attention in large part because it gives us a portrait of the diversity that makes the united states. And you know it's important to remember. No census is perfect and the picture. The census gives us about the country's residents has always been flawed. Going back all the way to the very first census more than two hundred years ago in seventeen ninety so no census is perfect but this count seemed like it was just nearly impossible job because of the pandemic. How how did they go about making sure. They got accurate numbers. It was a very big challenge because the pandemic up ended plans for door knocking. In-person outreach. That's been key to getting immigrants renters row residents people of color other historically undercounted groups counted. And we can't forget. There was interference from former president. Donald trump's administration leading up to the count there was at failed pushed at a question about. Us citizenship status to census forms and then during the census last year trump officials cut short the time for accounting and so it was just a tumultuous senses and now this data were getting the bureau says it's high quality and quote fit to use a redistricting but all these challenges have raised concerns about how reliable the data is especially about race ethnicity. So how could these challenges affect the numbers. The census is releasing today. Well the thing to keep in mind is census data like other data does not just appear out in the world waiting to be gathered it is produced through a series of decisions and decisions by the trump administration plus the conditions during the corner virus pandemic could have contributed to an under counting of black people latinos native americans groups. There were undercounted in twenty ten that we're not gonna get under candidates from the bureau for the twenty twenty cents into early next year so we'll have to see but the bureau has said that. For last year census there was higher rate of households not answering the race. Ethnicity questions compared to pass counts. That means the bureau had to fill in those blanks using government records interviews with neighbors or educated guesses through a statistical technique called imputation. All those alternatives could have skewed the race ethnicity data and i should also point out. The trump administration stalled on approving some policy changes. That would have allowed. The twenty twenty cents is forms to collect more accurate data about people's hispanic origins plus information about people with roots in the middle east or north africa. And we're going to have to live with all these choices for this data until the next census in two thousand thirty. Npr's hans long thanks. Welcome.

The History of the Electric Car
"It or not. The electric automobile is almost two hundred years old in eighteen. Twenty eight hungarian priest by the name of unused djedovic created a simple electric motor and may have created a device that converted it into motion in eighteen. Thirty two scottish inventor robert anderson created a very simple vehicle which is basically a carriage a non rechargeable electric battery into crude electric motor. It didn't go very far and it didn't go very fast. But it was a self-propelled electric vehicle. Electric vehicles were mostly novelties. And weren't something that could find practical use. There was no centralized electrical generation at the time. And there were. No wires transmitting electricity. And moreover every time you use the car you had to get a brand new battery. It isn't believed that any of these very early vehicles actually ever carried a passenger. Many people in the mid nineteenth century created electric devices which moved including prototype electric trains however the fundamental problem that electric vehicles run into for poor batteries and very inefficient motors. The first big development came in eighteen fifty nine by french physicist guest on plenty who invented the acid lead battery. This was a breakthrough in that. The battery can be recharged over and over. Even though there had been improvements over the years this is still basically the same type of battery found in most cars today in eighteen. Eighty one french inventor gustav trevi created the first thing that we would probably recognize as an automobile. It was an electrically driven vehicle. That could carry a pasture down a public street trevi. Interestingly enough also applied electric motor to a boat thus creating the world's first outboard motor in eighteen eighty two englishman. Thomas parker produced a commercial electric vehicle. It wasn't until eighteen. Five that german engineer karl benz invented the first internal combustion engine automobile and the name benz should ring a bell to anyone who's remotely familiar with cars.

"I don't know about you. But whenever i find myself feeling excessively angry at my political opponents. I'd like to ask myself. What would jesus do. Then since i can't hit them with lightning bolt and fling them really into hell for all eternity. I try instead understand where they're coming from. And whether i can get them to go back there and stay there and never show their ugly faces anywhere near me ever again. So today in an effort to build bridges of understanding between democrats and decent human beings. I'd like to take a sympathetic look. At what the left believes. According to the left critical race theory is not racism. And anyone who thinks it is is just a white devil. Helplessly acting out the imperialist oppression that flows through his bloodstream carrying the essential whiteness. That has just a social construct but is impossible to change. According to the left critical race theory is not being taught in schools and should continue to be taught in schools in every state despite the fact that minority children are falling far behind in math and reading. Math and reading are just white concepts creates a stop black people from becoming educated in traditional african ways that are completely imaginary and have nothing to do with the real africa. Where american black people haven't lived for more than two hundred years so they really need to learn math and reading instead of critical race theory which is not being taught schools and will continue to be and what about transgenderism according to the left men and women are exactly the same and some men even are women and therefore totally different for men while being exactly the same except for wearing skirts and pretending to be women who were very different. A person's identity of course is defined completely by their race and sexuality because humans are totally physical beans and are therefore not at all defined by their physical bean but by mystical inner soul. They can identify any race or gender pleases thus a human's completely physical existence is defined by his disembodied soul which does not exist because if it did exist he'd have to believe in god and stopped doing the immoral stuff he's doing and morality is relative. Because what's immoral here is totally moral in another country like imaginary africa and other places that don't exist like the soul that totally defines us finally. It's very important that everyone received free college where they won't learn math and reading because that would be white but will instead be taught critical race theory which is not being taught therefore everyone must also receive a guaranteed income. Because they're now unemployable because they can't do math or read because that would be white and critical race theory which is not racist hates whiteness. The free college and guaranteed income will of course be paid for with money taken from billionaires who earned it building businesses that they will no longer build.

"Think justice cavern likes being like he likes to be a member of the accepted class in in dc. I think that's he wants that sort of recognition which has had. For many years justice barrett comes from the breadbasket. She's from indiana she's in the middle But still i think she has a streak of restraint in her that she doesn't want to upset things. I'm not sure if for fear of negative press coverage. But i think she says a so far a little bit timidity timid approach that that has been surprising especially since she was so defiant when they try destroy her in the senate but she's just a little timid so far you note that only time will tell whether justices cavanaugh and bear it. Seidel up to chief. Justice john roberts. Pr based jurisprudence or whether they will stand on their constitutional principles. That is as damning statement. As i can imagine veiled in a velvet glove and that to me is the real challenge here is are they going to do. What is right or are they going to do. What is popular. I think of the vice President of the minneapolis city council. Last week who's leaving a parade and she's blocked in by the Antifa and blm goons. And she's as left wing as they get and she says whatever you want just let me go. She was she said. I'm being held hostage. It kind of feels like that's what these folks are. They're being held hostage by a mob of their own making. It's true they have life. Tenure for reason right judges or given job protections. They're not responsive to popular opinion hamilton. In the federals papers right about this more than two hundred years ago. He said judge should not consult popularity. They rely on the law and nothing but the law. And that's why i asked him. Who cares if your opinions are in popular. It doesn't matter you have life tenure. They can't they can't remove you. they can't fi. They can't cut your salary if the democrats want to make. The supreme court has fifty members. Let them let them destroy. That's on them. Not on you what you do. Is you wake up in the morning. You go to office. You decide the cases and you go home.

"We have a constant tension in american experience between the animating idea. So noble and the reality so flawed to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the declaration of independence in eighteen twenty. Six thomas jefferson wrote. All eyes are opened or opening the rights of man. General spread of the light of science has already layed open to every view. The palpable truth did the massive. Mankind has not been born with saddles on note. Backs nora favored. Few booted in spurred ready to ride them. Legitimately by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others for ourselves. Let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollection of these rights and in unfinished devotion to them but today we still have saddles and writers. Jefferson's own words reflect the ongoing imperfection of the american experiment which has been lofty in ideals but darkly tarnished in execution the lead author of all men are created equal and even the hand behind the pin that inserted a harsh condemnation of slavery into the declaration of independence which was later removed by others in slaved more than six hundred people in his lifetime and did not free any of them upon his death. The nebulous idea of america continues to defy simple black and white classification. Today even as al muhtar is able to defend the greatness of america's vision and freedom jackson shows how the nation has great rot inside and asks us to think about how it systems are fundamentally broken for so many citizens in an amazing coincidence. Thomas jefferson and john adams both passed away on july fourth eighteen. Twenty six exactly fifty years. After the declaration of independence was signed. They could not possibly have predicted the struggles. We face today more than two hundred years later nor how the trade offs they made to get america off the ground would evolve over time into civil wars foreign occupations and an increasingly centralized financial system. What jefferson adams. Alma tar and jackson could all perhaps agree on. Is that as we go deeper into the digital future. The original declaration of independence is not.

But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids
Why Do Americans Celebrate the Fourth of July with Fireworks?
"Does this sound familiar at all. Without a visual clue it might be a little hard to figure out. But that's the sound of fireworks. Many of you are curious about how these celebratory explosions work. And why we use them. Historians and archaeologists think fireworks started in china. Maybe as early as twenty two hundred years ago and they've been used in europe and other parts of the world for at least eight hundred years in the united states where our show is based they've become a big tradition on the fourth of july. So hi my name is nicholas in six years old. And i live in plymouth michigan and i want to know why people do fireworks on the fourth of july. Thank you bye while nicholas. Americans have been celebrating. July fourth fireworks since seventeen. Seventy seven the first anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence. John adams was one of the people who signed that document in seventeen. Seventy six a year earlier declaring their wish for the american colonies to become independent from england. Afterwards adams wrote to his wife that he wanted that day to be celebrated with lots of parades shows bonfires bells illuminations. Adams was a well known person. In the early days of the united states he later became the first vice president and the second president so his wish would have been shared with others as well and so on the one year anniversary of the signing. The city of philadelphia had a big celebration with thirteen fireworks. One for each of the original thirteen colonies. Now john adams didn't come up with this idea entirely on his own. English royalty had been using fireworks for national celebrations since at least the thirteenth century. Which went fireworks came to europe. They were widely in use by the fifteenth century. That's about six hundred years ago. But they were hard to find in the early days of the united states so celebrations back then often included guns and cannons more than actual fireworks.

I won't say how many years ago and has been working to burnish her credentials and working her way focusing on that progressive agenda. It's just gonna be a fun race. It's going to take a long time. Because people have a lot of money to raise they have Their their name recognition to boost up and look the massachusetts gubernatorial race is a big one. Just think about how. Many presidential campaigns of spur of come from massachusetts gubernatorial races. And other things. This is a big deal not just on the local stage but on the national one so the fact that is getting started so early is not really surprising to me. Folks here are going to be watching it here in washington. Dc where i am. It's a big deal. I think it's going to be naturally fun to watch anyway. So i don't think there's any particular thing that we need to point out. I think anybody interested in politics is going to learn a lot watching this race and anthony will that will that be good for the commonwealth. I guess my bias is that a hotly contested. Election is good for democracy. Do you see something unfolding. Here that is good for the issues is good for for combing out what needs to happen in the commonwealth post pandemic. Will this bring things to light that we need to make decisions on. I think so. I mean you know. Obviously i'm biased In an answering this question. Because i care about this stuff passionately. It's what i do. But look there's a big moment possibly coming from massachusetts i mean there's this big showdown for governor along with this fight for the soul and the identity of the massachusetts republican party. There's possibly going to be an open seat. For attorney general maura healey decides to run for governor for state treasurer. There's an historic election for mayor of boston. Which will result in the first mayor who is not a white man in more than two hundred years. I mean so. All this is a sign of the times of a reevaluation of coming to terms with racial inequality and the result is potential sea. Change in the politics around here. And i think it's extremely exciting and important and Yeah stay tune there's a there's a lot to hold onto here to take a measure up. Well you guys have got my pulse racing.

That is great. I learned a little something today. Oh there you go. Yeah so alkyl. So don't say didn't happen because it did then. He was talking about corruption. Something he knows a little bit about as well With he and his son hunter talking about the country one of the countries where it happened ukraine and finally we agreed that among the most important shared missions is renewing and strengthening strength resilience of our democracies. We don't have a democracy so by pointed out we have to prove to the world and to our own people that democracy can still prevail twice against the challenges of our time and deliver for the needs of our people to root out corruption. Siphons off our strengths. Now guard against those who would stoke hatred and division for political gain phony populism invest in in institutions that underpin and safeguard our cherished democratic values as well as protecting the free press and independent judiciaries. All of those run the agenda. That's how approved the democracy and can still prevail against the challenges of our time deliver for the needs needs of our people. I know for a lot of people that probably seems like nitpicking to to worry about whether or not he says it's a democracy or republic but in this case it's really not because there is an agenda attached to them battling about democracy all the time. Yes we don't have a democracy. This is a republic if we had a democracy. This country would have expired a long time ago. And our founders knew that our founders didn't create a democracy because they know that democracies don't work they don't last there's never been one that's lasted more than two hundred years and it just doesn't work that's why they created a republic. What's incredible is the people that scream and holler about democracy with a democracy. They wouldn't have the voice they have. I mean it's just it's amazing to me that they complain about right. The transgender movement certainly wouldn't be controlling our Our agenda right now and they are. I mean you've got point. Seven percent of the population controlling. What the rest of us think. Say and do you are giving that ain't democracy okay. Sure because absolutely one hundred percent positive. Okay yes this is a democracy and nobody would be hearing them. I know that to me that they continue with this with this road but again it's because we're getting to the socialism bar right yes and we're closer to it. Every is just their code word socialism. And they'll they'll couple it with democratic socialism social sound more palatable to the american people in fact that's why lennon created that phrase in the first place during the bolshevik revolution he. He believed that the russian people would be scared off if they started talking about communism and socialism so he used democratic socialism sounded like all will. Then we're going to have a say in it right fine fine good nope. But that's the agenda. And that's why they keep pampering all the time all right let me take take a minute financing. Nmls one eight two three three four www dot nmlsconsumeraccess.org. While that was weird. All right you know you worked hard to get where you are today. And you're you definitely understand the value of a dollar. If you're like me you hate to spend more on something that you absolutely need to especially when you're giving your money to the bank so listen to this if you can lower your interest rate on your mortgage or on any debt you have you need to do. It can't stress that enough call american financing. Because they can change your life for the better and right now is a really important time because interest rates are incredibly low and everybody is sending the signal. Now that they're going to raise them they're gonna raise interest rates. Maybe as high as five percent will right now. You can get a loan in the twos sometime. Maybe three but it's a much better deal and you're gonna have much lower payments so you can save yourself hundreds of dollars a month. Maybe even over a thousand dollars a month. So take some time out of your day and give american financing call their mortgage consultants have been doing this for over twenty years. And they're in this to help you not the bank so whether you're looking to refinance your mortgage at a lower rate or consolidate bills. Whatever the case may be american financing is the way to go call american financing at eight hundred nine six twenty four forty or go to american financing dot net american financing dot net or eight hundred nine six twenty four.

Stone and excavation starts ed's the next year for couple of years and then you feel responsible for these monuments because if it was not for you it would still be underground nothing would happen to seats and since it is our responsibility to preserve the monuments and that is something that's makes us go and also because it's very important monument. Its largest senior autozone in western greece yet. Orange vests and grease and definitely the largest of this kind of one. Unc in the islands. So you can understand that. It's it's quite something.

"Run or not really to that point as you say. She does have a lot of name recognition national reputation. She's battled the trump administration nationally. She's known for her battle with corporations. Like purdue pharma if she gets in. What does that do do. Other candidates have a shot of their democratic's candidates have a shot. If she's in well anything. Of course it's possible politics. It seems especially these days. I think you're right. I mean he would be the front runner but look as we know being expected to win. Doesn't mean you automatically win. I mean just ask. President hillary clinton or governor martha coakley about that right. I mean more healey would be the front runner and yet you know the other candidates so that's a given but the other candidates would have a shot against her and i think it would be a mistake to assume otherwise so you have noted that governor baker hasn't said yet if he will pursue a third term at this point is he sort of stalking horse. Though is he. Does he remain the man to beat fellow. Yeah there's no question about that. i mean. Baker is well funded. He remains very popular in the state. He's figured out that secret sauce of running and winning as a republican in deep blue massachusetts and You know it's always interesting to note. He's more popular among democrats than he is among republicans but among the things that are interesting about daniel allen's candidacy is that she's a black woman at a time of historic change in boston. We're about to elect the first person of color to the mayor's office This would follow on presley's election as the first woman of color to represent massachusetts in congress so with regard to her campaign for governor allen. Told me today that it's taken more than two hundred years but we might actually be at a point where leadership can be open to everybody. So that's going to be a big theme in her races. Well so let's jump ahead to the massachusetts. Gop because they're having it appears a bit of an identity crisis of their own right now and it seems that one factor at the core of that upheaval is governor baker and whether the trump wing of the state party is behind him. Is that fair to say. And what does that do to impact bakers chances. Should he choose to run for another term. Yeah it's an interesting question. I mean clearly. The the mass. Gop is at war with itself baker's the moderate he never embraced donald trump. So he doesn't have a lot of support from that hard right wing of the republican party while the state republican party represents that hard right trump base and that includes lots of people who don't embrace baker but baker's been able to more than make up for that by attracting moderate republicans and lots of democrats. So i guess. The risk for baker is that if he faces a strong challenge from a strong democrat. He could lose enough of that democratic support to put him in danger. And that's one of the big fascinating question that we're going to be following in.

Henry was eleven years older than count. Montgomery so check on the field of combat in a single battle check. He will pierce his is through a golden cage. I honestly don't know of. Henry's helmet was gold but still check to wounds made one. Then he dies a cruel debt one splinter through the eye and brain and ten days of suffering. Sounds pretty cruel to me.

Maybe she thinks that by here and more of his predictions she can somehow prevent other tragedies from happening so she puts him on payroll as sort of a physician and advisor.

Donald fame starts to decline. He maintains some lingering popularity in france but for the most part the world moves on and over the centuries people forget about nostradamus the man and he becomes sort of this mythic figure. He's remembered as an all seeing prophet. Who might have even had magical powers which is understandable because as time passes more of his predictions seemed to be springing to life in absolutely devastating. Ways take this quad train from the enslaved populace songs chance and demands while princes and lords are held captive in prisons. These will in the future by headless idiots be received as divine prayers in seventeen eighty nine more than two hundred years after nostradamus wrote this poem. France enters a period of enormous upheaval. Tired of being treated like indentured servants. French workers wanted out with the wasteful monarchy and in with democracy so they take to the streets demanding change as they do. They chant and sing like the french national anthem gets written. In this period its lyrics. Call the working class of france to rise up and water their fields with the blood of nobility joie wasi the revolutionaries also kidnapped nobles and officials holding them captive and of course they trade with a little device called the guillotine which is made people headless about one hundred fifty years later. Another prediction seems to come true from the depths of the west of europe. A young child will be born. Poor people he who by his tongue will seduce a great troop his fame will increase towards the realm of the east sound eerily familiar in the early nineteen hundreds. There is an austrian born german who rose to power in western europe. His father died young so he grew up pretty poor and received little formal education in the nineteen twenties. This young leader starts giving these impassioned racist speeches which are unfortunately effective seductive even so seductive that people start to wonder whether there's a supernatural quality to the words rolling off his tongue because they appear to hypnotize people. Obviously talking about hitler. And he amasses a great deal of nazi troops many of which he sent to the east famously invading poland and later attacking the soviet union after world. War two breaks out nostradamus. Books really start flying off the shelves. A bookstore in paris sells three thousand copies in a single month. Everyone's looking for clues to what might happen next and one paw train has them terrified beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers the greater part of the battlefield will be against histor- into a cage of iron. Will the great one be drawn when the child of germany observes nothing at this point. The german army is heading east in tanks. Which are basically cages of to get there. They need to cross mountains. Valleys and rivers including the danube river which flows from southern germany into eastern europe. And guess what the old name of. The danube river is history and a child of germany who observes nothing sounds like a pretty good description of a ruthless ignorant dictator. That's not the last prophecy of the war as you probably know at the end of world war two. The united states drops atomic bombs onto japanese cities. Here are shema and knock sake. Nearly four hundred years earlier nostra donald wrote near the gates and with into cities there will be scourges the like of which was never seen famine within plague. People put out by steel crying to the great immortal god for relief and the eerie coincidences. Just keep rolling two decades later people start claiming that a train about a great man falling predicted john. And bobby kennedy's assassination in nineteen sixty three and sixty eight almost thirty years after that. People are wondering whether nostradamus predicted. Princess diana's debt in a quad train. That can be translated to the last son of the man with the prophets name will bring diana to her day of rest. The wonder far in frenzied grief delivering a great people from subjugation. Diana was killed in a car crash on a sunday. The day of rest alongside a man named dodie fayette dodi's father is named muhammad. Which is the name of arguably the most famous prophet of all time. Four years later after the september eleventh. Terrorist attacks nostradamus. His book starts flying off the shelves again. One barnes and noble brooklyn has twenty customers asking for the prophecies in a single day. Why are people freaking out all because of this poem at forty five degrees. The sky will burn. Fire approaches the great new city immediately. A huge scattered flame leaps up when they want to have verification from the normans new york. City's latino is forty degrees but new city is pretty darn close to new york city. So yeah there does seem to be a lot of evidence that nostradamus was this miraculous soothsayer. I don't even have time to get into the rest of his predictions. Like the great fire of london. And the rise of napoleon louis pasteur and charlotte gall before you buy his books to see what tomorrow might have in store. It might be good to ask if no one makes the connection until after the fact can it really be called the prophecy coming up all take a closer. Look at nostradamus.

Potential savings will vary discounts vary and are not available in all states and situations now back to the story septemer. Eleven is said to be one of nostra thomas's most dire predictions. And yes. Obviously it was a scary tragic event where people needed answers for what was happening looking back. At the supposed prophecy there are some very apparent holes. The quad train itself is undeniably vague. On he says is that there will be a fire in the great new city since nostradamus was writing this more than four hundred years ago any city in the us could be called a new city and fires happen every day and the other lines of the quattro don't have anything to do with nine. Eleven like they want to have verification from the normans. I have no idea what the medieval norman have to do with this conspiracy theorists got around the problem by just removing the line entirely the versions of the poem that went around after nine eleven were totally different from the original. There were added lines like in the city of york there will be a great collapse and to metal. Birds will crash into too tall statues ensure a little bit of fakery doesn't mean the actual poems are fraud too but this speaks to a larger problem. The fact is nostradamus intentionally kept his quad trains. Beg he wanted to keep it general so it would appeal to everyone in wall that ambiguity since for obviously still talking about his prophecies today it also means that his predictions are meant to make. Coincidences seem like fate looking at all the times where it seems like nostradamus predicted the future. There's a common factor there almost always times of widespread public uncertainty which fits with a trend when life is unstable doomsday. Predictions tend to get more popular. It's the same reason why. Conspiracy theories tend to pop up after major tragedies. It's a way to make sense out of the senseless. I mean think about it. Isn't it hard to accept that terrible. Things just happen at random for no reason. Doesn't it feel better to believe that. There's some grand plan. Four centuries in the making that all of the suffering and destruction around you is at least leading to something and then if you dig deep enough you can figure out when and where the next tragedy will happen and how to avoid it no matter how far fetched. It's seems though even if we know in our minds that nostradamus prophecies aren't true it's really hard not to buy into them his own kind of like ink blot tests. Once you see a picture in the chaos you can't force your mind to stop seeing it. And even if nostradamus his most hop your predictions are just confirmation bias. That doesn't mean we can close the books on him entirely. In fact the best evidence for him as a seer of sorts doesn't have anything to do with his written prophecies. It's just an average story from when he was alive back. When nostradamus was a doctor in france he was invited to a dinner party. At lord's house the host new of his.

The case for co-ops, the invisible giant of the economy | Anu Puusa [TEST]
"Wow i get to do that a lot around here. It's finally someone else's turn. So yes i happen to marital wonderful man named ted which is pretty rare in finland where i'm from. It's not a typical finnish name at. Aw trust me i myself. I'm a business professor. And i love teaching but you know what my students are fed up. They have really fed up. With the way the business is growing the environment and making wealth inequality was and putting money and profits above all else. And what really makes them mad is when i tell them about the cooperative movement the angry because once they understand how cooperatives they feel like a secret solution has been kept hayden before i tell you more about why cooperative sauce so great. I want to explain what they are. A corporate. dave is an organization that is owned by its members who are also its customer and decision maker and unlike most businesses where certain owners can buy more power and influence in a corporate day of every member has one vote which was the revolutionary idea back when the model was first introduced a regular mind not dimension a woman with no significant means or prestigious position in the society as an owner and partner in business on heard of perhaps it's still a bit revolutionary. Copa dave's exist in a sweet spot between the for profit and nonprofit worlds. They uniqueness is based on the idea of duality. They have two distinct but complementary roles on one hand they act like any other business and try to make money but on the other hand cooperatives are and do so much more they are scented enterprises run by and for then members and they tried to achieve economical but also social and cultural goes to benefit those members who are just regular people like you and me and what has happened for. Almost two hundred years is that cooperatives have proven to make decisions with a view across generations instead of quarter to quarter to benefit more people and wells in communities that might not otherwise attract investment while. Still being competitive and innovative. Sounds pretty good right. I guess that's why. At the end of a clause the other day student all red and chest up basically shouted at me of always been a straight a student. Done all the work read. All the books are now you telling me that all my life. I've missed hearing about a movement with this magnitude. I get this a lot. The organized corporate they've movement started in eighteen forty four with the russia's society of equitable pioneers. This was a group of weavers and artisans who are of desperation. Opened a store together to sell things that they could neither get nor afford alone. The cooperative movements from there and became a global phenomenon. Many of the modern day credit unions and farm credit systems. You see in. North america are descendants of the famous cooperative reiffeisen system in germany and here in finland. A man named hanis gephardt is considered to be the father of the finnish cooperative movement in the nineteenth century. He introduced cooperatives to help. People tackle debt poverty and unemployment. It turns out. This is the foundation opo country known for its democratic values high quality education and the happiness of its citizens and this line of impact of cooperative movement can be found in other places in the world to. I'm proud to say that invalided terms. Finland is one of the most cooperative countries in the world. We have about five point. Five million people who have over seven million memberships in cooperatives. That's run everything from groceries to banks each time. I stop at grocery cooperative. When i feel in my guest tank edo jointly owned restaurant. Stay at a hotel or buy clothes. Ohad west of i could bonuses. That can be up to five percent. And when i pay with bank card get an additional half percent off and i know that win. The copa davis doing well. It's not funding a single person's luxury vacation in the bahamas every year. A governance body comprised of elected representatives decides. How any operating surplus will be used. Some of the money will go back to the members. For example this year all consume the corporate dave boyer's caroline also or beco- or as we call it it's part of the group is the biggest corporate of croup in finland. They had a so close of two percent or members purchases and twelve percent return on money invested. When you add up the savings and the return my family received more than two thousand years back which is more than we spend on groceries in one month not to mention that across race above seven percent cheaper than its main competitor. i'm a member owner intrigue cooperatives and my husband has four memberships consumer a bank an insurance and water cooperative. We have two beautiful girls who are ten and twelve years old. And they're also member owners of the s group then. Memberships caused us one hundred euros. Each we want to pass on the legacy and teach them about the benefits of corporate gives early on and of course they're very happy about the yearly interest on cooperative capital. But it's just about us getting money back. It's about the greater good for our community. I'm not only talking about taxes and employment. Our consumer cooperative is the biggest employer in the area. I'm talking about support for young people. Sports arts university and cultural events for example as a member of the board of beco- or a few years ago we agreed to build a sports hall fully exa which is a nearby city here in the eastern part of finland belonging to our cooperatives operational area after we built it. The city signed a very long term rental agreement with us so financially investment made sense and of course it was a major gesture to the local people who not have proper facilities to do all kinds of sports in another case. We ended up rejecting the investment proposal regarding building a senior house downtown. The idea was very good one but we declined because it was the big hosting complex requiring a lot of capital with low expected investment return that would only serve a small part of the membership less than one percent of our over one hundred thousand members and therefore we decided against it
Life in the Son
A highlight from Under My Skin
"Hey, how're you doing this morning. Good to have you back. And I hope you're ready for today. It's going to be an interesting day. Today is going to be the day that I do something that most people don't expect or don't like prisons to do because it seems so out of character for Christian but bear in mind now. There is such thing as righteous indignation but see. That doesn't come from the Christian. That actually comes from one. That Christian spends most of his time with being christ and quite frankly no Christian can really ever admit to having anything rightist in and of itself because it doesn't exist so when we do talk about things or Point things out. That isn't right away. Like I'm going to do today is basically going to run . But here's the thing is about things that are as anti-god as you can get and don't get me wrong. There's nothing in me. That is absolutely rises. Accept cries to his Emmy and who by the way is quite righteous enough to point out sayings that I'm going to talk about today and the thing is it's not about being a hypocrite. Because i will be the first one to tell you that. I have a hard time sometimes walking Christian wall because god does set the bar pretty high however he does make it possible to reach that ball whether we reach that bar at any particular time is entirely up to us and because of this war with the place that kind of complicates things a little bit but it does get better with time so I guess what I'm trying to say is once a person an one who is lost approaches the cross in total repentance and accept Jesus as the savior that does not mean that person just became one hundred percent perfect. If that person lived as chris for the next two hundred years he would be nowhere near perfection. so I'm just saying that is the beginning of moran. I'll go into it later. But the idea is to remember first of all one who is saved still has to war with the old self because you know his mind and his flesh is still pretty. Well existent okay. And as far as perfection goes no human being on the face of the planet war ever be perfect in this place in this world. So you know. I think. I'm saying that more because more than anything. Because I'm getting tired of being called a hypocrite because are not made. But I'm speaking of the Christian body of people calling Christians hypocrites because we still deal with the human element and the people that do this. Talk about our hypocrisy. I mean I'm assuming this because you know what God expects of us. And I'm just to say you now. If you know what God expects of you, then you can't take the spec out of anybody else's I when you got a beaming your wrong. So let's try to put a lid on that. But i'll be back in just a few minutes and i'm going to discuss a few things and i hate to even admit it but i saw i've been seeing things on Facebook and I say things you know walking down the street or in the grocery store i hear things all the time on. It really gave me Fired up I'm not gonna lie. Gets me fired up. But i will say this before. I decided to do anything with this show today. Operate about it so you're going to get inside of me today. I hope. But I'm still going to discuss a few of these things because I think we really need to pay attention to these things and yes I'm gonna run about it but don't worry it won't be so bad if already prayed about it. I've calmed down a little bit right now. I am going to take a brief break. Lou recess at you will. I'll be right back. They'll go away. I

"more than two hundred years" Discussed on Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network
"To get to start a project with it was a. He was not was not extraordinarily bred pedigree. Pioneer the nile had come in second at the two thousand nine derby. His mother princess had raised twice. Never won so You know he didn't have anything great on that site but hit god's gift that he came out balanced a perfect skeletal structure. He had a heart bigger secretary. It's his vascular system was massive and these things that are measurable now and then when he ran. He was perfectly efficient with the strike. There was nothing though about his early days. That was indicative of what he was going to be able to do. Was there because he had a disastrous finish in his debut as a two year old and then eventually of course had a record breaking race in two thousand fifteen in the early days but what happened is he was a hard horse to handle. This is where the magic comes in. You're right his debut by teen garcia wrote them and just didn't get along with them. They get beat. Badly garcia came back. He was bob baffert trainers number. One rider sick boss. I don't like him i want. Is somebody else. So victor has been who who landed on him one. The second choice wasn't even the third choice. He was the fifth choice. Victor has had a falling out with baffert after they had won two thirds of the triple crown in two thousand and two board warrior them and that happens at the race track. They go sour on each other. You get some bad luck. And they were talking. But mike smith gary stevens raphael baron know the guys went to next all head other commitments so he swallowed his pride. He called victor. Victor you know has surprised he gets the call. Two days later gets onto a colt by six gets off. He's still playing it. Cool with baffled says yeah very nice. Two year old didn't runs to his car. Calls agents says man. This thing's rocketship. We gotta keep him for the derby and seven late races later. They're in the record books. You know when you take a look at this horse in its history. What i find interesting about your book. American pharaoh of the people that are associated with horse. Now what i mean by that. You had the flamboyant owner ahmed zayat. You had hall of fame trainer bob baffert and then you had the the jockey. Victor espinoza tell me a little bit about them and how they factored into this horse's success. Well they all. We're at a point in their life where they needed a little help and they needed to help each other. Zayat was bankrupt. Basically he'll thirty four million to the bank for his stables Needed to get out of the money and he in fact he tried to sell american fare at once and this again i go back to the lucky sent him to the sales thinking he'd get two or three million and on the way up there. American fairbanks is Acl in the van it gets all swollen and cut and nobody wants and so he gets it back. bob baffert was a guy who everybody knows is a hall of famer had owned those triple crown races. Ninety six to two thousand and two but then couldn't get arrested basically and He had fatal heart attack or near fatal heart attack in dubai and twenty twelve loss. Both his parents has a young son. Boaty who eleven and you know had some off track problems and You know he was at a point where he was reassessing. What his life and legacy was all about. So you know he gets there. And then victor. Spinoza was the guy who needed You know he was having a renaissance coming back. And this cole gave him you know the right of his life. He's now the only triple crown radio jockey left right now so you know they all kinda conspired they changed the horse's life the horse change their lots. There's another very interesting story in your book. And deals with francis rela hand and she was an irish horsewoman and she cared for american pharaoh. Pick up the story from there. She had him when she was three months old and she seemed tens of thousands of horses. And you know. Her charge was to lean them from his mother. Give him the initial lessons you know. Get them get them to his youth and one night. She's out on a run in on the farm. She sees in the field the little princess. Emiko that's what he was called at the time barely thirty months old and he boxing swerves and he takes off and he stopped vendor tracks and just took her away she had never seen such an efficient mover. His feet were on. Weren't even hitting the ground and so he did. She did something she'd never done before she called. Mr zayat said you got some real special here. I wish you best of luck with it. Also when you take a look at horses like secretary. Seattle slew great horses. Like that and i think now you can say. American pharaoh fits into that group as well. What's the commonality those three great horses extraordinary physical gifts and talent very smart. American fairl was a horse that was always ahead of his classmates ahead of his peers. He was smart. You know francis tells a story that usually when you when you lean a horse it takes it it freaks them out they give a little anxious and what he did was able to take away his mother he ate up all sorts and then went back and took it out so you know. He knew he was born to doing something like this. There's another aspect and correct me if you think. I'm wrong about this joe but all three of those horses captured people's imagination. Not just people that were interested in horse racing but generally crossed the public sector. Did they not. oh absolutely. I mean you know. Victor espinoza ends up on dancing with the stars which is about as mainstream as you can possibly hit. America secretary was the only athlete to be in. This was a great trivia question to be on. Tv guide time. Newsweek sports illustrated in playboy in his day. So yeah you know. They transcend horse racing. They just become great personalities and athletes all of fame Trainer bob baffert. I mentioned him being involved with american pharaoh. He's had a lot of winners or he wouldn't be in the hall of fame. How does he feel about this horse. Among all that he's been in and you know it's a horse of the lifetime. He's very fond of his says. That's where he ever got real. Interestingly you said if i get american feral five years ago. I screw it up if i give them a year ago. I screw it up He came to be at a time. When i had all my skills. I trusted my gut. I was grounded. And i knew what to do with a lot of people talk about secretary seattle slew and now they do the same thing with american phero Our number of other horses that fall into that kind of category. We're will he rank among the truly truly great horses well for my money. Round twelve triple crown winners and there's only twelve of them and more than two hundred years there. The pantheon now she belongs right there with seattle suits lou. Sir martin assault citation count fleet. Now you know the first among equals and everybody will tell you this is secretary. Probably the greatest resource we've ever seen. Bob baffert remembers watching that race. In nineteen seventy three at the belmont with his dad and a vfw and thought he'd never see a performance like it. He say he saw it a couple of times with american feral but he said you know just to be in. The same sentence with secretary is enough for.
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
Forget Me Knot, A Journey to Support Caregivers
"So with me today. All the way from way across the pond is johnny ball. He is with the forget me not charity. It is designed to end the silent suffering of dementia caregivers mostly in the uk. But i'm sure we can expand a little bit someday. So thanks for joining me johnny. So your mom took care of your dad for many years tell me about your dad and your caregiving journey. Yes so my dad. Got fronted dimension when i was full team. Mac i mean we didn't know initially kinda very subtle onset sir some stuff assigns. Some sort of an ocd behavior and habits ejaculated needs to have sort of started coming in and we. We weren't really sure what is meant. Probably when i was seventeen means fooling diagnosed and definitely before at the age tom shanklin saddam was now twenty years ago so he had yes hunts and and then he had to mention until two years ago when he passed away and and the majority of that time he lived at home. My mum and it was just because my sister. Self we guns university on my other system rather Back ceremony on singlehandedly. Careful for him. Full probably nolan probably fifteen years until it's long time i mean as nearly law tougher laws on sarah and tools variants He was to be introspective scare him. You're amazing awesome. But even then i mean did doesn't end full primary care as you know grown same every single day. She still you know she can go on holiday. She just went down and look at the data. even she wasn't enough to all the time she loves him. Most of the to worry. Also vistas right in terms of you always concerned a well-being the and worrying if it comes to bowl of marrying a happy state of mind and that's all still there. Yeah so that was. Conical happens is really back about seeing my mum's dedication. How tough was even though. She handled it incredibly news so stoic. Yeah it was. That serve inspired this inside this expedition. Maturity stop so. How's she doing now. she's doing well. Yeah crazy agree raw. She's she goes now. I'd say sure exactly now so that it was To two hundred years ago died. Since then i guess she suggested completely to new life. Ace i suppose the even though she's a stephanie very different way of living and in some sense of relief. I suppose it's still transitions dara. It's interesting because you still have guilt. Like i know especially now with the holidays coming. There's just times when i think you know. I tried so hard with my mom and like christmas. Two thousand nineteen. Our city. park is full of christmas. Trees that are decorated with different organizations or businesses. Some of them just decorate 'em however they want some decorate them with the theme like one of them was basically a pizza christmas tree so all. The decorations looked like slices of pepperoni slices of pizza. Which is kind of not super christmas. But it was very cute. I took her there because it was bright. It was outside it. You know i thought. Oh she'll love this and it was just like she was like clueless and it was and she was honoring. I think she was having a bad day. And it's hard knowing. That was her last christmas. We did have a really good lunch on the twenty third of december and then everything went to hell after that. So there's interestingly enough you still have like these guilt feelings. Like i should have done more could have done more and it takes a while to get through those i think so. It's i'm i'm finding that with myself and other caregivers that are in my position. So if you guys are experiencing that it's pretty normal which is frustrating. But there it is so. I read on your website that the alzheimer's society which is pretty much the mirror. Image of the alzheimer's association here in the states found that ninety percent caregivers experienced feelings of stress and anxiety weekly more like daily probably at least sixty percent of them struggle to talk about the impact of caregiving on their lives because of feelings of guilt. It's like. I can't complain about what. I'm going through because my loved. One has a tea or alzheimer's or whatever and so how can caregivers balance their needs and the needs of their loved ones. In your opinion like you know have we. Have you thought that one through as you launch charity. I think the as mansell. How things i i think the fittest into that. It's okay to feel the way you feel. i think. Give a lot of as you just explained guilt and extreme sense of gt Which means the facebook does because the caring for fest often before themselves. That i think is important for the mental health of the unification which ben immediately impacts the wellbeing of the patient. They need to care for themselves as well. A member. the average duty of air to themselves as much as they have achieved care to the person benefitting asta and i think inaccessible and really letting mass inside. You know that that's true.

Haunted Places
The Xunantunich Account
"Tucked away. Inside the countryside of modern day belize lies one of the greatest standing ruins of the maya civilization shuna on tunisia's ancient name is unknown but historians estimate that the structures of tune each were built beginning in the seventh century. C e however the land had been occupied by the maya for much longer as early as one thousand bc in those first centuries it was just a small village but at some point in the seventh century it began to grow in size and power. The lords of the ancient maya city built ball courts palaces and temples but the city's crown jewel was the structure known as el custodio. A one hundred thirty foot pyramid topped with shrines offices and a royal palace hsun each was a thriving metropolis the center of a powerful kingdom. Then all of a sudden it wasn't the collapse of the my empire was one of the most devastating and dramatic catastrophes in human history. But it didn't happen all at once. The collapse of the classic my civilization occurred not long after shoot onto each was built around eight hundred ce. By the end of the ninth century the region and its majestic monuments almost totally deserted in less than two hundred years. The city's population had nearly vanished. Royal dynasties disappeared. Cities fell to ruin the great pyramids of the maya sat untouched for and were reclaimed by the jungle. But over the next millennium the region was colonized by european settlers by the eighteen. Hundreds of colonists. An interest in the ancient cities and their expeditions uncovered a wealth of artifacts that were shipped away to european museums and auction houses. However these pieces of history provided few clues as to what cataclysm destroyed the maya cities something had caused the empire to crumble yet to this day. We still don't know why but for a lucky few their spirits and shown on tune each who will show them the keys to this ancient mystery. If only they would listen how. To- felt uneasy as he walked through the ancient temples. There were no real dangerous here. No musket wielding british soldiers on horseback but there was a dense fog shrouded. Everything missed but hocine 'to could still see the dark stones covered in moss and the snake like lines that crept up the temple walls most days to walk the extra two and a half miles just to avoid the sight of it but today be didn't have the energy. He hadn't slept much last night or any night in the past three months. Not since his father died a scene to had borrowed money for a decent burial. He thought he'd be able to pay back but then the storm came. It devastated his crop of bananas now. He barely had enough to pay the englishman who owned his land and not a single schilling left for his wife and son. His wife was getting sicker every day. It was the same sickness that had taken his father the same fever and bloody cough and recently his son. Miguel had become to cough to how cintos didn't know why he'd been spared. His wife said it was a spanish applied. Maria said europeans were immune to the diseases. They brought to the maya and the husino often considered himself native. He'd been born on the peninsula. He was european after all had tried everything to raise money for a doctor. He begged from neighbors tried fishing and hunting but his neighbors were just as poor as he was and even if he caught a fish or a deer there was no one to sell it to how seen was watching his wife and son die he felt as if the world was falling apart which might be. Why the temples made him feel so uneasy because that hopelessness must have been how. The maya felt long ago that there was nothing they could do. Cinco continued walking toward the center of the ancient city in front of him. One moss covered building towered above the others a narrow strip of stone steps visible at its front. Something white flashed at the bottom of the steps at first husino fodder was a bird but as he came closer he saw it was a woman.

More Sheep than You Can Count: Transfinite Cardinal Numbers
"What are we talking about today. We're talking about cardinal. Infinity is obviously yes now. You you said infinity's the i love the title. If i may real quick the title of the show is more sheep than you can count obviously. That's an allusion to infinity. I love it a fantastic and the reason why we chose that is because there are sets of things collections of things that cannot be counted and And i mean there's a very real sense like not even all the real numbers right like not real numbers. All natural numbers right one two three four five et cetera. You can count all of them. Theoretically they are called countable because you can put them all in a list that has the first item at the first place the second item at the second place on and on and cover all of them. There are some sets. You cannot do that. With and one of those sets is the set of real numbers. And we'll show why on here but basically you cannot. You cannot list all the real numbers in any way shape or form. You will always leave things out any list no matter if it's infinitely long the really nuanced facts about infinity and that will we've we've realized in the field of mathematics and the last two hundred years one thing. I love about this episode. Though is i got especially interested in this topic when i taught sixth grade math. And what's cool is we're going to get into this in a little while but we had to do these socratic seminars. At the school. I taught out it was a charter. School and the kids started exploring infinity completely on their own and they had these group discussions that got into this and what i found a wonderful is there are. There's absolute overlap between some of their discussions. Like i think one of the topics that was brought up was does a circle. Have the same amount of points as a sphere and yes. I kid you not that we had sixth-graders talking about this socratic discussion. Not not everything was maybe correct in that discussion but most touches on the kind of cardinal anthony that we're gonna talk about today for example the answer to the question of does a circle have the same amount of points. A sphere surprisingly is yes and we will find out why.

Darrell k dot com. So as always. We're gonna start out a little bit slow kind of the opposite of what most broadcast or podcast do. We seem to build up people in the on a live cast over time in new. Y- typically on my podcast. The theme runs through the the the majority of the podcast. If you missed the beginning you may be bored with the end. So it's better to be bored to beginning build up that excitement towards the end we start out with a little bit of a philosophy that i have personally a lot of the christians. We look at the new testament as soon as the book. you know. it's the only book to read. In fact a lot of lot of good practicing christian. Good people carry a new testament around my my church minister of modern day christian fellowship reverts that and takes back the old testament and the important things in the old testament because the old testament is the concrete foundation for the new testament. Without which there is no new testament new testament. We're forgiven of our sins from the old testament. We're forgiven sins of the past. But those sins were based on gifts that were given to us by god. The entire universe given to us by god. There's a lot of great things in the old testament that bring people back into the fold. The number of times. That women are empowered in the old testament. Everyone says oh. It's a man's book about men and is true. Men had a lot of the power back in those days. But when god created god created us in his image man and woman he created them in his image. Now why is that. Such an important statement is probably the most important statement in the entire bible old and new testament and most people ignore it. It's incredibly important because it shows us that we have that power with us. The power of god resides within each and every one of us. If we to accept it choose to use it. We have the power to change the way our country runs. We have the power to change the way we think. And the way others think by believing in ourselves and believing that we are got incarnation essentially. Because that's what the test the old testament says. That's why you don't see god you don't stand up and talk to god but when you talk god hears because all of us in existence every human being a small part of that small piece of god. That's why we need to maintain that power and strength and this election is really proven that most christians sir bible people call themselves bible believers most jews who believe in god and tradition more than anyone gave them and they're still giving up. Oh it's over it's over for donald trump. it's over for america it's done. We've used our last card folks. There's still some trump cards left literally rather than the mon the things that we've lost. Let's have faith. Let's have prayer sessions. Let's have believe until the bitter end until the twentieth of january. Nothing is over. And i'm the sixth of january. We may be surprised house george election ago. I don't know. I talked to god every night. I say god. Please help us please. I love you. Please help us. I trust you. You can't pray for something specific like god. Let trump win. Maybe that's not the best thing for. I don't know i hope. Trump wins the pray for god knows is right. What will that be and why will it they. We have to have faith that the path is right. We have to believe that tower of believing that will make things happen. All right waited long enough on the copy of the night. I just had to get that off. My chest elections the election process. How did we get where we are today at. Thomas jefferson said that a republican last about two hundred years most countries lasts most most democracies last about two hundred years and they fall apart. So how did we get to. We are today and is it possible to fix it. I don't think it's ever going to be fixed. Sadly because there too much monetary interest in in having it broken too much monetary interest in having the lust of the world at your fingertips in the money that it brings in greed lust for luxuries. We are everything. The bible tells you not today but why did it work for so long sadie to go back to the days of the constitution and it was about six. I believe sixteen years after the constitution was written it was actually ratified during that sixteen year. Period founders had many many. Many meetings was after the constitution was written. Couldn't figure out how to actually piece everything together so it would function not just for now to get away from england not just from now to get away if the rule of pope for all time and they knew that this wouldn't last they created they chose to discuss rather a democracy republic an answer and several other forms of ruler of role as well. They came down to a choice that most people don't like to call it that but it was was called a. m. democratic republic now call a constitutional republic but basically the democracy part lies in the fact that we can vote for the people that are supposed to represent us theoretically and those people do the bidding for us they chose a constitutional republic because democracy fails and you can see that right now they want you know pop the popular vote. That's a democracy the popular vote and one hundred and three hundred million. Excuse me one hundred. Two hundred million people live in the cities and one
The 3:59
A Star Wars and Marvel bonanza
"The price hike. It seemed inevitable. I mean it's still cheaper than netflix and considerably cheaper than hvl. Max i would say if people ask me whether or not get disney plus i tend to say like star wars and marvel. Do you have kids at which point. It's definitely word this the sheer volume of content. I'd say it's ok. Okay no for sure. I mean for me. I've got i've got kids. So disney plaza lock. I think anyone who's got a family. This is this is our ramaz. Get a among the many different streaming options that we have nowadays Let's get into the shows. I know star wars near and dear to your heart. So let's let's go there first. They announced or talked about ten shows. Let's let's break out. What are some of the new shows that you're excited for low because of out vehicle order Talk about soka. I dawson brought the character life in live action for the first time in season. Two of the mandalorian and that that's a lot like a backdoor pilot for this show. It's just like suggested that she had her own adventures. going on. this was not a surprise. It is a delight though. It is an interesting we. I think we talked about this earlier. The you know the fact that not to get too deep spoiler as they chee. She was offered a role to mentor. Baby yoda no. You really need to go somewhere else. They felt like definitely had that back door pilot vibe to because like i'm sorry i'm off to other adventures. I've got my own thing. Got to deal with and allow that did seem like a setup for its own show. I'm actually late my own. Tv show salena catch trade this game and it gave a pretty clear idea of what she was up to not to get into splutters between between that and the rebels finale. From a few years ago we have a good idea what her objectives are for this show. Yeah we don't wanna get too deep into spoilers. Maybe we'll we'll devote a whole episode of that later on this year to speculate on what what that might be both water. Somebody other shows that that were announced. It was the next big one we knew this was coming for a long time but they talked about a little with last night and give us a sense that or confirmed that it was filming next march And that christian hated christiansen was returning as dark later. Very very exciting news. That one definitely took me by surprise. tactic territory hidden christmas activator. That's that's interesting. As opposed to advocate skywalker. Which would suggest that he appeared in flashbacks as anikin. But saying he's vader would suggest maybe that he'll appear in four seasons or something that is unclear. It's definitely it's intriguing. Another property was with a character. That's near to many star. Wars fans hearts landau gets his own show yet. These were ten on the ground because we don't know if it's going to be live action or a cgi animated series. I feel like donald glover should be involved. Because he was so well received solo so fingers crossed that he will be returning and then there are a long list of other ones kind of run through them really quickly because we unfortunately only have so much time on this podcast okay so there was the ropes quadrant movie directed by patty jenkins of wonder woman fang which is really exciting. That's super cool. That'd be a fighter pilots. There's the bat batch which will be a follow up to the clone wars at those cartridge orig- use there. There's adore which is about caffeine door from roquan. There's tyco tgi movie which we still don't know what that's about our coop concert raiders of the republic. Which is set around the time. Line of the mandalorian and could be about current june because she became a marshal of the new republic but again that remains unclear star wars visions which is automated shorts from abbey craters. That's really cool quite different the acolytes which obviously is that almost excited with the malls because that is set in the era of the high republic which is two hundred years before the phantom menace. And it's like about some sort of a dark site warrior and it could reveal stuff about the Era some different cool. So those a lot. I know being a super star wars fan. I want to get your opinion on this. Is this too much star wars. It certainly was too much reward announcement. I think parceled out over several years. It should be okay especially since the movies will be quite so frequent. Like i remember when it was only like six months between the last year and solo that felt overwhelming with tv. It's a little different as so you can kind of watch out. I'm at home in a more relaxed environment. it's a lot of star wars. There's no escaping that. Yeah yeah yeah i mean. Brian made a good point before we start recording that you know a lot of these might be one off shows ryden. Obi wan will probably be a one-off sled that that kind of makes sense that they'd wanna have this pipeline but it was a lot to digest all in really what was about thirty minutes a thirty minute presentation just for the star wars section. They're just kept pumping out one announcement after another rapid fire a lot but also i think that's partly a function of the fact that they're no conventions this year star wars celebration was
Coronacast
It's coronavirus do-over time. What would we do differently?
"I'm health reported teigen tyler an opposition and journalists alter norman swan wednesday the ninth of december. And it's episode. Two hundred of the corona cast so when we hit the one hundredth episode. We buy setback and went. Oh my gosh. We never thought we'd get to one hundred two hundred. I know it was like two hundred years two hundred days. Well it feels like a silent day to answer these questions from dane. Who says what do you think is the most important thing we've learned about. Nineteen in the last year and if we had a time over again what would we do differently. Well let's do something different. You answer that first to you. Know what i think. At an individual level we would have been more mentally prepared for the challenges of these. See the personal challenges of these see but from an infection control perspective especially in australia Harto corinthian outbreaks notwithstanding. I really do think that we have done an incredible job of keeping levels of the virus incredibly low in australia when we say overseas. What could have been here in australia if we hadn't taken that really hard stance from the beginning. So here's what. I think we would do differently. So the first thing. I'll start is internationally and this is a wishlist. I wish that we had had a more cooperative world when the virus hit if we'd had a more cooperative world you know. This is just wishful thinking but we had a habit of world without authoritarian fragile leaders in china russia and the united states. This would be a very different pandemic. in fact it may never even escape from china because they would have dealt with it transparently and they would have controlled it than they would have told people about it and they're told people about it in december. They're abroad in international help into wuhan market and checked where come from and the world would have pulled together on china's behalf and helped china out but we came into an environment where nations were operating by themselves and it was every state for themselves. And that's the sex. The ground for the pandemic so do differently do international relations differently. The biology of a pandemic organism is almost the least important part of that organism of the pandemic loss of different organisms can cause pandemics. It's human behavior that causes the pandemic so the way we live the way we act. Politics works so international travel works. That's what creates a pandemic what we would do. Differently is have a world that's more pandemic aware and aware of their behavior and aware of the broader implications beyond beyond the personal. That's what i would do differently than international level. The wild thing about that is that if we had done that we never would have nine. What scale of crisis. We would have averted but we do know that. This isn't going to be the last pandemic pathogen that if we ever encounter and saw are we need to take these lessons going forward so that the next pandemic is a fisa like this one should main. I'm a comeback to something. We said on corona cast probably in march march april the of the beginning when prevention works. Nothing happens and so the most important thing we've learned we should have learnt is or if you went back in time is that the general community knows that when you actually have prevention working nothing happens. So that's a lesson for everything and we're facing catastrophe with climate change but it's a slow moving catastrophe and if we actually act on climate change not very much will happen and that's what you actually want to happen. So people talk about all paul early in the seventy s sixty s and seventy s doomsayers population and. so on. The are all wrong because nothing happened. Nothing happened because people did some stuff about that sort of thing and of course nothing happened. So what we learn from this is successful. Prevention is dull and boring because nothing happens. There's no drama.

Globalization is ending. What's next?
"We are at the end of globalization. We taken globalization for granted and as it drifts into history. We're going to miss. The second wave of globalization begun in the nineties and it delivered a great deal. Billions of people rose out of poverty. More impressively both prattled congress like vietnam and bangladesh increased by over six times in the last twenty years. The number of democracies rose in countries as diverse as chile malaysia. Estonia held free and fair elections. The role of women improved in many parts of the world. If you look at wages policy and companies like spain or access to education in countries like saudi arabia economically supply chains spread like webs around the world with car parts criss crossing borders before the final product. Coming into place is also changed the way we live now. it's changed our diets. It's changed how we communicate how we consume news. An entertainment how we travel and how we work but no globalization is on its deathbed. It's run into the limitations of its own. Success inequality a new record levels of business for example world to gdp is now pushing that was not seen since the polio wars. Two hundred years ago. Show us that. The advantages of globalization have been mis directed. The global financial crisis was the result of this mismanagement. And since then policymakers have done little but contain rather than solve the problems of our age. Now some highly globalised countries. Such as arlanda in the netherlands managed to improve income inequality in their countries by better distributing the bounties of globalization to higher taxes and social welfare programs. Other countries have not been as good russia. And especially the united states hub extreme levels of wealth in policy more extreme even during the time of the roman empire and this is convinced. Many people that globalization is against them and that the bounties of globalization have not been shared with the many a now in twenty twenty were confronted by the pandemic which has shaken the groaned under us on further exposed the frailties of the globalized world order in past international crisis. Most of them economic or geopolitical the hers usually ultimately been a sense of a committee to save the world leaders leading nations would come together but this time uniquely there has been no such collaboration against the backdrop of trade wars. Some countries like the. Us have outbid others for masks. There's been hacking of vaccine programs on common enemy. The pandemic has not been met with the common response to any hope that we might have a world vaccine or world. Recovery program is in vain. Snow worth the end over nira in history.
