"And it turns out it's not. It's not a problem. Uh, yeah, and and at the Washington Post, they're not going to write the story about the State Department spokesman spokeswoman Julian reporter and her insane, detached from reality Racists. Crazy anti police rants because that's okay. When you're a Democrat. They're all anti police. They're anti police. And I was I was talking about it a while ago. But it bears repeating my best girl when I spent time last night with a police officer A No, I don't want to give a lot more detail than that. But a police officer who explained was out at the shooting range with police friends, and they have those targets. Paper targets that About the size of a person to cut out a silhouette of a person, usually in blue, often in blue or in black. And somebody had paper targets made up with a with a target in the shape of a leg. The whole thing is just a leg is see. Instead of this hill or whatever person it's the silhouette of a leg because of Joe Biden's ingenious recommendation that police should shoot Suspects, unarmed suspects attacking them with knives in the leg. No, because that's the That's why Joe Biden would have it. You should shoot them in like so now my police friends, air training with paper targets that have the shape of a leg so they can familiarize themselves with with all this good stuff, that's what they do. The Washington Post is owned by Dr Evil, the richest man in the world, and it's a Democrat press release every day. The this is the story wasn't able to get to yesterday. Washington Post has a an architecture critic. He criticizes architectures for a living. That's what he does his entire career. Was dedicated to criticizing buildings and things that said his name is Philip Kennecott. I assume it's Philip Throckmorton Kennecott the third and he goes by trip or something like that Deathless went to very nice private schools in New England. And the story that he wrote is headlined. Trump wants a library. He must never have one. That's the Washington Post there, a little bitter. They're kind of bitter. It's like like No jilted ex boyfriend or something. They really are. Just they're very, very unwell. These people he should never have. He must never have won my my plan all along. And I think it would have been a really good idea, actually. Was the Newseum. You see the news media, they built a museum to themselves. It was on Pennsylvania Avenue overlooking the U. S Capitol and between the White House and the Capitol. They went bankrupt naturally, because left is to run it and they were, you know, sucking the cash out of billionaire hedge fund managers and things like that, and And they went bankrupt anyway, and they charged to get in there. The National Gallery of Earth is right across the street, the most spectacular art in the world in the history of the world, and you can walk in there for free. And then the Newseum. They wanted a church 15 bucks or something because he a clip of Walter Cronkite saying, that's the way it is, And naturally, they went bankrupt. Now it's a big building in a nice building a Mayan. My planet might have been. My guest Best girls plan actually was that President Trump should have bought the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue overlooking the Capitol and turn that into his presidential library? That it would have been a thumb in the eye to the press. It was a brilliant idea. It's too bad that it didn't happen. But it's good stuff on they. They're very bitter. At the Washington Post, Philip Throckmorton Kenneth got the third, Uh, the former President Donald Trump will have an official portrait in the National Portrait Gallery. At some point, he writes, with bitterness dripping from his keyboard and in states where he remains popular, not states that Philip Throckmorton Kennecott the third would ever go to Honestly, it's like a character from MASH. He could have airports, bridges and schools named for him. But when left his takeover, they'll burn the schools down like they're doing in San Francisco, a naming whether Francis Scott Key George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln there, a naming schools. For all those people in San Francisco because they're a mob of violent rebel on their anti American, and they're angry with history. They're very angry with the past. They're they're not mentally well, they're not. But Trump must never have an official presidential library and Congress should move quickly to make sure he never will. This is the This is really Banana Republic. Third world stuff At the same time. They're coming for your first Amendment rights and your religious rites and they're coming for kind of everything they're coming for. The left is coming for your rights That's for sure. Have I mentioned that at the Chris Plante store on Al Gore's amazing Internet? We've got all kinds of great stuff like the left is coming for your rights, and we've got Hunter Biden, Mama Roland Gas Man and all kinds of good stuff. They crisp later and Valentine's Day is coming up. See Valentine's Day. And you can get all kinds of great stuff prevailing Times Day at the at the Chris Plante star. There's not remember normal. You know, we've got our remember normal shirts and coffee mugs and great stuff like that great gifts for the whole family. Hey, Are you tired of having to choose between quality and a fair price? Well, of course you are. The cheap option is usually cheap for a reason, as you doubtless know. Sometimes you pay an arm and a leg just to be let.

"Philip Kennecott. He's a Pulitzer Prize winning critic at the Washington Post. Thank you very much. Thank you. And you're listening to weekend edition from NPR news. This is Dr Michael Wilkes with a second opinion back in the days when we used to fly. There were two lanes for airport Security. T s a regular and T s a pre check. Then, along came a for profit company called Clear that allowed people to pay large fees and skip the lines entirely. There was something that seemed unfair to me about that. It said To me that people with money is time was more valuable than those without money, as though the rest of us have nothing better to do than wait in long queues. But those who are wealthy or work for wealthy companies shouldn't be bothered with lines at the core of this is a sense of entitlement. And that concept has its roots in psychoanalysis with the belief that people can have a normal, inflated or compromised sense of entitlement. I'll spare the links to childhood, but the thinking goes that goes with an inflated sense of entitlement often seek special privileges for themselves. Well, when it comes to medical care, there is an entire industry. Built around entitlement. We call it concierge medicine and people are used to having their doctors making anything they won't happen. Those with ample resource is pay handsomely for a service, which is simply not available to others are people all entitled to equal medical care to shelter to food? Is it a problem that some people spend hundreds of dollars on a single meal, while others worry about not being able to afford the next meal for their entire family? While many may very well be living in an age of entitlement, feelings of entitlement can be decreased when leaders and role models exhibit respect toward others, something that's not happening very much these days. So along comes something that is very valuable but in extremely short supply the covert vaccine It is no surprise that those who feel entitled or more important are trying to exert influence to obtain a vaccine before it is their turn. But there is no clear for vaccines, at least in this country. People who feel entitled tell me that they don't want to wait in line with other people where they could get infected, and they don't want unknown staff person unwillingly, exposing them to Cove in people have offered doctors and hospitals large incentives to vaccinate them and their families. But what about the rest of us? What about those working on the front lines to care for others? Or those who are most vulnerable? Skipping the cue isn't how a just and civilized society should work. Cheaters and scammers and those trying to buy their way to the front of the line should be fined and moved to the end of the line in a very public way. The punishment for cheating should be severe for health providers for the health care system involved and for the person trying to skip the Q. Everyone who wants a vaccine will get one. Just wait your turn. And if we kick this up a notch, what about wealthy countries that have struck deals to buy more than two billion doses? Of the Corona vaccine in a scramble that leaves limited supplies for middle and poor income countries are our lives more valuable than theirs. Remember, we have hospitals and ICUs and medications while many of those countries have few, or none of these resources Meaning that vaccines, maybe even more important to them. We all need to not forget those less able to advocate for themselves. This is Dr Michael Wilkes with a second opinion. A second opinion with Dr Michael Wilson airs Sundays at 6 35 and a 35 A M and can be strained and podcast at kcrw dot com. KCRW sponsors include.

But beyond next week, analysts who studied political violence or warning that this is going to remain as a serious national security threat well into the Biden presidency. That was NPR's Hannah Allam. Thank you very much. Thank you. The U. S. Capitol is the most identifiable building in America. It was designed to be at the top of the hill. It can be seen from nearly any spot in Washington to talk more about the symbolism of this singular building, and these attacks were joined by Pulitzer Prize winning writer Philip Kennecott. He's a senior art and architecture critic at The Washington Post. Welcome Thanks for having me. You write often about the meaning and function of public spaces in America. What was your sense of this space? You know, this building is visible all throughout Washington. It's at the geometric center of the city. It's where the basic grid of streets is measured from and it sits at one of the highest points in the city. So you see it. And you know, a lot of American cities don't have a recognizable skyline but of Washington does. And the most iconic thing on that skyline is the capital with its dome. If it's not quite the most beautiful classical architecture, it's maybe a bit of a hodgepodge. It still is beloved, despite some of it's kind of charming, homely flaws. Tell me what it's like to be inside the building under normal circumstances for people who may not have been there. What is that physical space? Like? What does it sound like? Traditionally the capital's been a pretty open space. You could come to town, See the monuments and go visit your representative. And so we were in it. There's this wonderful sort of buoy echoey, noisy quality. People are moving around all the time. And if that's the aural sense of it visually, that hodgepodge of architecture is even more kind of compelling on the inside of it was built over decades and centuries and inside. You really see that from the changes in just the way the building is laid out the size of the rooms and the the decoration style. Do you make of the profane nature of these attacks? These were Americans, vigilante mobs attacking their own history. Their house. In fact, we heard them repeatedly say this was their house. There are reports people defecated in the quarters. Yeah, you know. When you say some things are there some things mine. Part of that is care for the thing. Part of that is stewardship. It's not just that, if it's mine, I could do whatever I want with it, And that was the kind of claim of possession that I found so appalling, so sickening in what was going on there when they said it was ours. They basically said it's ours to destroy not ours to preserve not hers to pass down, not ours, to imbue with meeting and symbol in value and worth ours to do with as we wish I find it repellent. This is not only shocked America in the world because of what they did. But you know, many people feel that this building is really important. It is hurt their hearts. Why do you think that is I think it's because we take it seriously for what it does. You know, it's a monument or memorial is basically something you go and you were trained to have a set of thoughts and you try and think about the thing that's memorialized there. But this is a building that functions it daily in acts what we do in a democracy, and so it's when you attack it. You're not just attacking a simple you're attacking the function of the process of democracy. You know, I was really struck by a story that came out after after a car. Voted to certify the election. And after that terrible day on Wednesday, when the crowds poured through there, one of the representatives young guy named Andy Kim, I think it was, you know, After all of this, he grabbed a trash bag and started collecting trash, just cleaning up the space. And maybe that seems a little hokey. But if you live in Washington, you really do feel kind of proprietary sense because these buildings are always there. And because they're so big and the city of solo, you're always being watched by them, You know, In a sense they cast the kind of protective embrace and to see them to filed is just particularly disturbing. You are someone who thinks about buildings and their meaning. And I'm wondering after this attack has the meaning of the building changed. No, I don't think so. I think the history has gotten longer and a very ugly chapter has been added, and I hope we always remember that chapter and maybe we need a plaque. Maybe we need something that says Through this particular door came these people on the state so that we have that memory and so that they can't be allowed to change the appalling nature of what they did by slowly saying over time. Well, it wasn't really is bad as it seems, it wasn't really insurrection. It was just a little bit of a mob or maybe just a bit of a riot or a bit of bad behavior. We can't let that become the memory of it..
