Jamie Raskin: The 14th Amendment Not an Option, It Is an Imperative
"I want to show you what kind of a communist Jamie Raskin is He was bred from a communist father He was involved intimately in trying to remove Donald Trump fresh trying to prevent him from being sworn in as one of a handful of objectors on the floor of the House Then he worked both impeachment trials both Jamie rashkin who's a red And he's a liar And he's in the morning schmo show today and Joe Scarborough gives him a platform to lie and Joe Scarborough therefore is lying with him He knows damn well the Fourteenth Amendment is not an option Let's start cut 7 Go Well nobody seems to know but the positive development in my mind development in my mind is that on the democratic side people understand that the Fourteenth Amendment is not an option as people have been saying the Fourteenth Amendment is an imperative Now Fourteenth Amendment's not an option It's an imperative says Jamie Raskin This clown was teaching constitutional law at one point Which means he was teaching lies And there's nobody there to challenge him The Fourteenth Amendment provides no cover any more than the 13th of the 15th or any other amendment to the constitution The constitution was not amended to eviscerate the House of Representatives It's not an imperative It's a fantasy but the marxists don't care I've told you this a thousand times They will turn the constitution into a meaningless pretzel That's what they'll do They hate it from top to bottom Because you can not be A so called progressive AKA Marxist And support the American system You can not

Why the Deep State Needs an Indictment Now More Than Ever
"Now that the 2024 campaign season is starting in earnest and Trump's poll numbers improve with each passing day, the organism known as the deep state has been forced to react to protect itself. And indictment now would trigger all sorts of legal maneuvering that could delay a trial until a day after the 2024 election. But who knows what their plan is? With multiple investigations into multiple nothing burgers, it's pretty safe to say that the deep state is leaning hard on legal tactics. On one side of America's forefront of laws, we have Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. On the other, we have special counsel Jack Smith. And somewhere in the middle, we have congressional Democrats led by Jamie Raskin. Between the three of these legal loggers, the forest of laws should be completely clear by midsummer of 2024, if not sooner. But you can't deny that Thomas more is right. Embracing this any means necessary approach to law is a bad idea. And not just for Trump and his supporters, many Democrats are too caught up in their enthusiasm. It really looks like they are completely unaware of the unintended consequences here. They need to slow down and ask themselves if they really want to live in this new legal landscape. Republicans who have not spoken up about this should also ask themselves, is this the kind of country that I want to live in, where political opponents are jailed and where basically in a third world country? Think about all the ways in which the law has already been twisted out of all recognition.

Pussy is an acquired taste. What I find you think would like to say to someone you haven't been able to, I say what I feel and think, but I guess I would like to thank my mom who has passed away. Thank her for trying to be a mom. What if anything do you wish for happiness? Have you shared these things with others? Yes. How do you feel after writing these things down? Fantastic. How do you think you'd like to share with someone who shares your thoughts or experiences? Tell my sister, I love her and want her clean and sober. Thank you for that. Very, very heartfelt. And detailed. I love a good detailed survey. All right, I was going to read more surveys, but I think my windpipe is starting to get annoying. And probably has already chased away our Friends with misophonia. So I am going to wrap it up with some loves, and this is filled out by somebody who calls themself terrible with names, but never forget a face. And they write, I love moss. I love touching it and imagining a tiny bug using it as a pillow. I love when my cat would come running would come running to me, calling him in my older neighbor, poked over the fence and said, he really is your cat isn't he. I'm not sure I read that, right? I love when my cat would come, oh, she's talking about the past tense, would come running to me calling him, and my older neighbor poked over the fence. I might have to cast you to hell for the grammar on that. I hate to do that in the middle of a law of, but rules are rules. And get into the vehicle and enjoy your trip. I love laying flowers out for loved ones that have passed pets included and talking to them like they are here. It's so funny I do that whenever Herbert's picture are any of my past dogs, pictures come up on a digital frame that I have. When you talk to them, it feels like it feels like part of them is still there. I love when I get a good idea and I feel less worried that my brain is slowing down and like I'll be okay after all. I love thrifting. I love big sweaters and fall. I love when my kids hugged me unexpectedly or say they love me before bed. I love when my partner squeezes me unexpectedly in bed just to say I love you. I love tiny bugs, especially roly polies and how they roll into a protective ball when they are frightened, but will slowly unfurl in your hand. I love releasing bugs back to the outside when they come in my house, even spiders. I love waiting at strangers while I drive that are in the same car as me. I get a chuckle at the momentary confusion and the thought that life is fucking ridiculous. I love the first dab of paint I put on the canvas. And finally, I love the moon. It gives me such a sense of calm looking up at it. I feel connected to it in some way, and I like to think of all the people living in otherwise who ever looked up at the moon, too. Thank you, Paul and also fuck off if you don't like this survey. I loved your survey. It was awesome. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. And I hope my throat wasn't too annoying. Oh God, I have the feeling that thing that I was battling for two weeks is back now. It's bad enough going to the doctor, but going back to the doctor for the same thing. And I'm afraid I might be having to do that for my shoulder because my shoulders healing very, very slow. All right, this isn't a fucking doctor's appointment ball. Wrap this thing up and let the people be on their way. If you're out there, do you feel it stuck? I just want you to know, I don't know who this guy is, but I hope you're a big fan of it. Sounds a little bit like me and DJ voice the BDJ boys are down here, man. He'll tell you to fuck off 'cause he doesn't like nothing about you. I'm rocking the quads.

Now I sound like Mitch hedberg. All right, I'm gonna wrap this thing up. If you are out there and you are feeling stuck, you are not alone. Never forget that you are not alone, and nothing destroys the quality of our life like obsessing about the quality of our lives. And thanks for listening. And that was fun.

"Like that's the signal of like, oh, this is gonna be a real uphill battle of a relationship versus a partner who can say, okay, understand that that's not, this is not about me, you know, not everything is in relation to you. That's the good news and the bad news. Exactly. And so that's why I think really filling in your partner about what's going on with you, how these things manifest for you, you know, maybe why certain things like orgasm is a part of your repertoire, you know, and being able to say like, I get why you would take this personally, but you really shouldn't. And then picking people who have the ability not to take that personally. When we express our needs and our feelings to somebody in a way that, you know, that isn't aggressive, we give them the opportunity to reveal their character. That's a really great point. And it's something in the chapter about sharing your mental health with the potential partner. I really say like, in those moments of disclosure, we tend to be so focused on what the other person is going to think of the information we're giving. But it's actually a moment that is really revealing of the other person's character and understanding and ability for empathy and so when you share stuff and the other person either doesn't care or doesn't try to change it. Tries to change you doesn't get it. You know, like, it's not necessarily like, oh, this means that they're not gonna like me. In those moments, you're very tired, you're like, I don't like them. How dare they? I open up, I'm vulnerable. I share this thing and they don't even have the decency or capacity to sit with it and hold space for it. I don't need to live a life like that. I deserve a partner who can hold space for me and who can ask curious questions without judgment and really listen. And that's, I think, a really big signal for people with mental health, you know, extensive mental health histories to pay attention to when they're starting to date and looking for a partner. And at least try, you know, if when we do open up it's met with a less than ideal response from them, it could be coming from a place of ignorance and they're willing to learn and so I think being willing to say, you know, I know you love me. I know you care about me right now. It would be awesome if you I just need somebody to listen and to be there for me and that gives them the opportunity for them to see, oh, they do take this in. They are a willing to learn, but that certainly a big red flag if they, if they don't take that in. And everyone has a different relationship and knowledge around mental health, right? So if you're a partner, someone who's never been to therapy, grew up in a family that never talked about mental health, you know, that first time you share something, they might be kind of confused and have some questions. And I think we also need to allow space for people to have questions and to have concern. You know, like people don't need to have a perfect response and people, if somebody says, you know, I have a history of a brilliant intense suicidal ideation. I don't think it's necessarily realistic for your date to go, oh great, you know? There's going to be concern there. And I think really allowing for a conversation of, okay, and what does that mean? What will that mean in my life and how to be your partner? And sometimes it can be really beneficial to either provide them with psychoeducation resources. We're sort of like, hey, this is a book that I think would maybe help you understand me better, or even if you're in therapy, letting them come into a session, letting them talk to your therapist, you know, I think even letting them talk to your therapist alone to sort of ask the questions that maybe they're afraid to ask in front of you. Allowing them to have a process and their own feelings about things too. And then that's the situation where you can't take it personally. You know. Love it. Love it. Such wisdom. Do you have anything else you'd like to share before we wrap up? No, I don't think so. I'm just so glad we're having more of these kinds of open conversations about all of this. Oh, and plug your podcast. What's the name of your podcast? Yeah, so my podcast is called just between us, it's a weekly show where we talk a lot about mental health and then I also have a mental health focused substack and Instagram account called emotional support lady if you want to check out any more of my work. And what are some of the social media handles? I've got at Allison Raskin at emotional support lady and those are the two main ones. Awesome. Well, kudos on all the work that you're doing. You're helping a lot of people and I love chatting with you. Oh, thank you so much for having me. Many, many thanks to Allison. I just love when a stranger walks through the door in an hour later you've had this amazing conversation with them when you know about important things in their lives and struggles that they've handled, it's just, I don't know, it's one of the parts I love about being alive. Let's dive into some surveys. This is an awful moment felt out by a non binary person who refers to themself as sad and euphoric. And they write for context, I'm a trans masculine, non binary person who most people see as a woman, but I don't identify as one and my family didn't know about this at the time. During our last Christmas with my grandmother, her dementia was already really bad and she wondered out loud who the young man was referring to me. It made me feel really euphoric. While I also realized that my grandmother had pretty much forgotten who I was and was never going to recognize me again. I remember how the moment made me smile while my heart sank to my stomach. That is, boy, you talk about bittersweet holy shit. This is from the shaman secret survey. And this is filled out by a guy who calls himself autism dad. He identifies as straight. He's in his 30s. He was raised in a he says a pretty dysfunctional environment. He says that he's never been sexually abused, but he has been physically and emotionally abused. Systematic physical abuse from my father and older brother, constant shaming from my younger brother and emotional abuse abandonment and emotional is incest from my mother. This led me to a full breakdown resulting in lifelong anxiety, depression, social isolation, and suicidal fantasies, not that I'd act on the latter.

"Be disintegrating. Heavy weighted blanket on my brain. Symptomatically. And I can't think straight. Things present themselves for a reason. And I can't see straight. I couldn't even drive. The first movie that I remember watching with him. Post traumatic stress. I was like 5 years old was Pulp Fiction. And moral injury. I would act out the scenes gonna go to hell or with my barbies. The greatest source of our suffering. Ordinary is where all the good stuff happens. Is our unwillingness to experience and accept our emotions. It's very hard to heal and dark isolation. I developed compassion. It is in connection and community where that happens. The process was nearly unbearable. Like I'm gonna have to kill myself. We'll be right back after this. I'm here with Alice and Raskin, who is you're an author, your podcaster, and most excitingly, you're getting your graduate degree with plans of becoming a therapist. I'm actually, I'm not planning to become a therapist, but I am getting a master's in psychology. Okay. That was my read something that that was your plan initially, but so that has changed. Yeah, I went back to school in early 2020 and I had thought that I would be a great resource and backup career sort of. I think some of it was fear of what this crazy what this creative industry is like and the instability of it and like, oh, this is a potential plan B and then just through the course of my program and just other things that happen in my career, I kind of decided that I prefer to do mental health advocacy more from sort of a macro level of writing about it and interviewing experts and trying to make things more accessible instead of me being a therapist, you know, one on one with clients. Gotcha. I totally understand that. I went through the same thing and orientation I went, I don't think I can do this. And I also didn't want the pressure of technically being an expert and not being able to make fucked up jokes and, you know, when sometimes say something that's completely wrong, it just felt like a lot of pressure. Yeah, I don't think it necessarily. I mean, I still think that there's a chance that that I'll go back to school to get that kind of license, but I think my strengths are more in sort of sharing my own story, connecting with people through my experiences and that's really not how therapists work. And so sort of a combination of a bunch of different things, but the goal is, you know, I'm hopefully graduating this summer and have a little more just a little more credibility in the field when I write about all this stuff a little more knowledge that I'm not just speaking from my own experience, but having been through school and I've learned a lot about other forms of mental illness that I personally haven't experienced, which has been really helpful. And just so many things that I used to talk about as if I knew what I was talking about. I'm now like, oh my goodness. What was I thinking? So what are some of the things that you've learned getting your psychology degree that have kind of expanded your knowledge? One of the biggest things is just how inaccessible therapy is. You know, I think I used to be of this mindset that if you wanted to get better than you should just get yourself in therapy and do the work and now I'm very much like no, this is a societal failing that like therapy is not accessible to people and also I think a real kind of aversion to pop psychology and positivity as like the main thing that will fix people where there's just a lot again of systemic issues like racism and poverty and trauma and trauma that stigma. Individuals can not fix themselves out of poverty. So Instagram means no right. Yeah, so I think just having like a more nuanced approach to all of this and also just, you know, I think really believing this one thing was true and then realizing well it's true for some people but that's not true for everybody and everyone's mental health journey is so different and needs to really be catered to them and their specific context. Couldn't agree more. So let's talk about your life and your struggles. One of the first things to rear its head was your compulsive thinking yeah, so I was diagnosed with OCD when I was four years old, which is pretty young, but I had something called pandas, which is where I had strep throat and it kind of ignited the OCD in my brain and so it came on really fast and my parents thought that I might have a brain tumor. They were really proactive about getting me help. I mean, I've said countless times. If I had gotten sick in another family, I don't know if I'd still be here. I don't think that I would. And so mental health is always just been a part of my life. I mean, there's never been a memory that I have of me as someone who wasn't mentally ill. And I think that that has shaped a lot of the way that I think about this stuff and move through the world and also the possibility of what life can be, even if you have a mental illness. What were some of the ways that it presented itself? So it was complex because I think I was smart enough at four to know that something was wrong. You know, so in a lot of ways with the OCD also came kind of a depression of I said to my dad I was like, I need to see a doctor something inside of me. It's incredible for me. You know, I think I was actually kind of suicidal. I laid down in the middle of the street and my parents were told that if they didn't, you know, watch me 24/7, I needed to be in a psych ward, but I was really lucky that my mother was able to watch me 24/7. A lot of contamination fears, you know, washing my hands until they bled. That's still very much a theme that's relative in my life relevant to my life now. Especially been made worse by COVID and yeah, just sort of, I think I have a very bad memory of my childhood the way that my OCD manifests now is really contamination OCD, some reassurance seeking, a lot of doubt of memory and a fear of misrepresenting myself, but I think when I was younger, I had some more of those classic physical compulsions that like my mom said I would look like I was like a baseball coach.

I love this time of year fall. The smell of the dying leaves, their last part of their cycle. I love walking in the forest and the leaves that have fallen have been molded into the hard, smooth dirt road. It almost looks like they were carefully put there and covered with a transparent covering to display them. There's something so special about falling leaves. It feels so sad, lonely, and beautiful. Some of that bittersweet that you spoke about, the good stuff. It feels like I read that one already, but I don't think I don't think I did, but yeah, boy, is there any season that brings up as much melancholy as fall? Maybe melon sees it. It was so stupid. Oh, this podcast is sponsored by better help online therapy. We were talking about self knowledge. And one of the things I remember when I was in my 20s was somebody said to me, you're so hostile. And I had no idea. And it wasn't until I got into therapy that I began to realize how much anger I had buried all my life and I think for a lot of us who have done therapy throughout to self knowledge would have been really, really hard without an experienced guide to help us through that stuff.

GOP paints a dark picture as 'weaponization' probe begins
"House Republicans launched the marquee investigation of their new majority with an assertion the federal government has been used against conservatives. Republicans are calling it the weaponization of government, the panel is led by Ohio's Jim Jordan. Protecting the First Amendment shouldn't be partisan protecting the constitution shouldn't be partisan and protecting the fundamental principle of equal treatment under the law should not be partisan. Much of what was heard was partisan and sometimes inaccurate testimony in much of the grievances were about actions taken by federal officials when former president Donald Trump was in office. In response, Democrats brought in Maryland's Jamie Raskin, who was on the committee, investigating the capitol riot. It's all about restoring Donald Trump, the choice impeached former president to the office he lost by 7 million votes in 2020 and tried to steal back in a political coup and violent insurrection. Raskin said it was the Trump administration that brought weaponization to frightening new levels across the board. Ed Donahue, Washington

She has been articulating her hatred of Israel, everything it stands for. Before she took office. I think the real shame is that the members of the congressional progressive caucus, 15% of them are Jewish themselves, continue to keep elevating her and Rashida to lead to these high profile leadership positions, despite the fact that they're so anti Israel, it's a crazy phenomenon. So what sort of work are you guys doing on Capitol Hill to root out these people and to expose them? What we're doing and you're speaking to someone who is a conservative view, I almost ran for the Ted deutch seat and here in Florida. But what we're doing is getting an actual letter rating, no different than the NRA, holding fact based, a letter rating to each sitting Jewish politician on what they are or are not doing to really fight anti semitism. And I could give you a quick example. 6 months ago, Rashida Tlaib makes a big proclamation. I'm sure you remember. This says, hey, if you don't believe that, is the real as an apartheid state like hydro. Then you guys shouldn't really be a progressive.

Congressman Kelly Armstrong Discusses Voting in North Dakota
"About elections and getting people registered and voting and I know this week we've got even more electoral count stuff from Liz Cheney zoloft and others. But I remember you surprised me back when we were dealing with some of the Democrats wanting to nationalize elections. When you discussed voter registration or lack of it in North Dakota. For our listeners, just for a minute, explain how that works in North Dakota. And you'll have a great success at it. Yeah, we have the easiest ballot access of anywhere in the country. You get a thousand signatures. Sometime before the first week in September, you can qualify for the ballot as an independent. And we don't have voter registration. You know, we're going to talk about an electoral count act Bill as a law grant Liz Cheney doing all that, but Amy Klobuchar just introduced a same day registration bill in the Senate. And I'm going to have to go talk to them about that because we have to be excluded from it. We don't have registration. Every time the Democrats do one of their election messaging bills, I got to go up to the rules committee. And I got to educate our Friends, Jamie Raskin and all of the and they don't believe it. Nobody ever believes it. I'm like, I need an exception because you guys are actually going to make it harder to vote in North Dakota.

"All I Want Is for Trump to Go to Jail" Says Elie Mystal
"6 week, you tweeted all vectors of accountability are important, including this one. Going after his money in New York State is a big deal. It's just hard to keep the financial crimes or a thing face on when this dude is committing espionage and getting Trump judges to bail him out. What are you hoping for looking forward to this Wednesday? We're obviously hearing from Raskin and Schiff and lofgren and others as to what's going to happen. Yes. So I'm a regular person too, right? And when I'm in my regular person mode, but I'm just like watching the television when I'm spending time listening to news in the car with my family, like all I want is for him to go to jail. Thank you. I don't care. I don't care who has to do it. I don't care what the circumstances are. I just need his orange lying behind barbs. Like that's what I want. Can I take a moment to say?

Glenn Kirschner Will Risk Trump's Threats to Defend Democracy
"Started? What are we running for? Let's do this. Yes, when I say I can't run for office because I can't fundraise. I'm not looking to get a rise out of people who are like, will help you. You know, I created a 501c3 nonprofit national homicide families went through the IRS process that was not fun, but we got our approval. And then I went on exactly one fundraising call and it made me want to hurl and I realized I can't ask people for money even for really worthy causes. I was a public servant step for more than 30 years and I never had to ask one person for $1 in order for me to be a public servant. I can't start now by saying I want to run for office and be a public servant. So money, money, money, money, money, not in my DNA, unfortunately. Yeah. Well, that doesn't mean you still can't be appointed. What am I looking for? Oh, attorney general. Yeah. Okay, I'm just saying, that's not running. Okay, you were the, one of the many of us who you tweeted. So Donnie soprano and the boys got together at the bottom being golf club to sort through some problems. I mean, between this Sopranos scene on the golf course with no golfing going on. And this latest threat, he just said, what did he say? I think there's going to be a big trouble if I'm indicted. I mean, how much more explicit a threat of inciting violence could there be? Yeah, it'll be big trouble and boy will it be good trouble. And it's precisely the kind of trouble this country needs. We can not decline to charge somebody for their crime stuff for fear of how that person's associates or supporters will react. If that impacts our decision, who to indict, then the rule of law is truly dead. Let him threaten violence. Let Lindsey Graham threaten that there will be protests and there will be riots fine. Bring it on because some things are worth fighting for like the rule of law and the future of our democracy. Yep, absolutely. Finally, you tweeted our team justice members have been sending me pictures they took while attending Saturday night's event in D.C.. It was such a pleasure and a privilege to get to share the stage with Stephanie Miller and representative Raskin to share the legal issues of the day in our fight for justice. You just posted a clip of you and Jamie Raskin and we were, what I didn't get a chance to watch it yet, 'cause there was so much good stuff that happened. What was that particular exchange? Do you remember? Yeah, so that clip you and I and representative Raskin were talking about basically the deep injustice that's at play in America right now where the people that Donald Trump lied to and used that lie to urge them to attack the capitol. Those people are going to prison because they obey Donald Trump's commands and they fell for his lies. Donald Trump, the person who is most criminally responsible for the capital attack has a teen time later today. That's a deep injustice that needs to be remedied right now because we add on top of that stuff. The classified documents crimes at Mar-a-Lago, Trump had top secret materials national defense information, which is why this is an espionage act crime being investigated. And information about the nuclear capabilities and defenses of foreign countries and he has not been arrested by the Department of Justice for committing all of those most dangerous crimes that undermines the confidence in our federal government and in our rule of law. These things must be made right by the Department of Justice, not rocket science, just good government. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like what happens is we get overwhelmed. I think you and Jamie were talking about that Saturday night that, you know, in all of this new espionage stuff, you're like, Jamie's over there going, wait a minute. What about our crimes? What about the overthrow of the government in January 6th? I mean, and speaking of which, I mean, there are going to be starting again, obviously the J 6 committee wanted to ask you finally, what did you think of a lot of people speculating on what Zoe lofgren meant and also many Thompson, do you feel like they're saying they have recovered the missing Secret Service tax? Yeah, and I don't think they were ever missing in the first place. Let's just say they were, they were perhaps misplaced or mistaken about them all being permanently deleted or purged. So they clearly have lots and lots of text messages now. So the next logical question beyond what do they tell us about what the Secret Service and Mike Pence and Donald Trump and Mark Meadows were doing on January 5th and 6th and 7th. But why did the machinery of the Secret Service and DHS at least the former leadership of DHS try to lie about it and keep them from being viewed by Congress and inferentially the Department of Justice? That is the next investigative lead. They're going to have to follow. All right, you heard him. Starve stage screen. And LA sexy liberal. Go to sex in the world dot com. Thank you, honey.

Sebastian Talks With Rep. Matt Gaetz About Liz Cheney's Election Loss
"To say nah nah nah, goodbye Liz Cheney. Are you celebrating Matt Gaetz? I believe I was the first Republican to travel to Wyoming and to lay out the case against Liz Cheney from a policy standpoint, a political standpoint. At one point I had the record for the largest political rally in Wyoming history that did not include a rodeo element, but of course president Trump shattered that when he went to Casper Wyoming as rightfully he should. So hang on, hang on, you didn't get on a rodeo. You didn't ride rodeo, Matt. I'm disappointed. I am a Florida man. Anything you can not get on in flip flops. I would be very hesitant to engage upon. Surfboard a wakeboard. That I can do with John boat, a paddle board, but no interest in the rodeo activity for this Florida man. What I will say is that this is a verdict of sorts. This is the ultimate verdict on the January 6th committee. Now Seb, they told us that the January 6th committee was going to blow the top off the capitol building. Remember when Jamie Raskin told this that will instead all it did was blow the tires out of Liz Cheney's political career. They told us this would be this great shift in all of the political tectonic plates in our country that everyone would abandon president Trump and the reality is that the January 6th really deprivation of the facts, the misuse of process, the unwillingness to have both sides present and questioning those who came before the committee. It ended up calcifying and solidifying support for president Trump,

"The next time it happens, they will be armed. With weapons, all of them. And there were to be clear, there were weapons throughout with the steel pipes in the baseball bats and the hockey sticks that were also knives in it yesterday. I learned a new story and this may be coming out soon about an officer who was stabbed. But there were also guns around the entire event, but luckily it didn't explode into a massive gunfight, but it's hard to believe that this would happen again. And that not be the logical destination of it. And one of the things that we talk about in a report that we just published and you get into in your book and also into the work that you've been doing before and since January 6th is sort of the factors that have led to what we saw that day in terms of civilians coming in and taking on the capital and opening this up to you and to Chris. Can we talk about why, even though January 6th was unprecedented, it was in a lot of ways predictable and not surprising. And kind of what the implications are of that going forward. Well, yeah, I'm eager to hear what Chris has got to say. But to me, it was the convergence and explosion of a number of streams of development in terms of hate crime, the sanctioning of racism, anti semitism, extreme conspiratorial thinking, neo Nazi kinds of views, and then a conditioning of the population to accept violence and death as a natural consequence of public action. That's a really scary thing that was on view January 6th. I completely agree. And, you know, this isn't an accident. The capitol insurrection really could not have happened without Second Amendment extremism. Just at the root of a certain kinds of violence ideology. And that's been fueled also by the National Rifle Association. I mean, the insurrectionist interpretation of the Second Amendment is not one consistent with the founding notions of the Second Amendment in American public life. It's actually antithetical to that. Chris, please, count me in on that debate. I will go anywhere and debate any of the insurrectionist Second Amendment intellectuals. Anybody who claims that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow the people to take up arms against the government, it cuts against a dozen different parts of our constitution. The supremacy clause, the powers of Congress and article one section 8 to regulate and arm and discipline the militias. And to be in charge of laws regulating the militias, there should not be any outlaw private militias out there. It's up to Congress to regulate them and control them. And there's not a right to revolution. And you know who knew that? The American revolutionaries did. They didn't claim that anybody could just take up arms at the government at any point. They said, we're going to build a democratic government so people can settle their differences internally and the people can govern. But there are lots of moments in the constitution where the government, the Congress has the power to put down insurrections. To stop insurrection. So they seem to want to have it both ways. The American tradition, if you're up against real injustice in the government, is nonviolent civil disobedience. All the values that they trashed on January 6th, they like to pretend like this was a repeat of doctor king's March on Washington on the contrary. The American civil rights movement was all about mass protest, nonviolent, as much as possible. And it forced to confront really illegitimate unjust authority than to submit to arrest and make the arguments in court not to punch a police officer in the face and hit them over the head with a confederate battle flag. That's insurrectionism. That's sedition, that is nothing to do with the real movements that have transformed American democracy. I think those are such important points. And I can assure you, congressman, that we will be happy to find a way to host a debate if anyone on the other side wants to stand up and debate you. Brady will be very happy to ensure that happens. I'm not sure that there are intellectuals using your word words on the other side, but I'd love to see you debate Wayne Lapierre on these issues. I did mix it up with chip Roy about this who was mouthing all these pieties about the insurrectionist interpretation of the Second Amendment, which by the way, the Supreme Court has never adopted. If you read hello, it's all about the individual right to possess a gun for self defense and for recreation and hunting. It's not about overthrowing the government. But I said, okay, if you really take seriously what you're saying here, do you believe that George Floyd were the bystanders watching the murder and asphyxiation of George Floyd had a right to take out guns and kill the cop because that's the best argument the best case scenario for what you're saying if you believe that. And he stammered and hemmed around and he said, well, if the police officer was raping a woman, you could kill a police officer. So, well, and then some other Republicans immediately jumped in and said, no, you can never commit violence against a police officer under any circumstances. But what we're going to tease that out and see, is that a right that they really believe in? Because we know where most of the illegitimate police violence is targeted in America. And do they really take that position or not? Or is this just an excuse for these klansmen and neo Nazi insurrectionists? Nebraska and you've been amazing. Thank you so much. And right before you take off, can I just ask one final question? I'm so sorry. But where do we go for people who are concerned? Where can they learn more? What should they be doing? Go to Brady, obviously. My heart is with you guys and everything you're doing, but it come and check out the January 6th select committee. And you can find me online pretty much anywhere now I'm very overexposed after the events of the last week. So yeah, please, let's be in touch. I'll put everybody on my list and I guarantee they'll never be lonely again, all right? Oh my goodness, Kelly. So I feel like I say this all the time with our guests on, but I would have kept him. I would have kept her up Raskin. For another 13 hours. A 100%, a 100%. It's like, I feel like I was in the best sort of college class, but also the best sort of gathering with a friend, even though we've never met. And it was really powerful. To quote Gen Z, the vibes were immaculate. Oh, hello, fellow youth. Exactly. Exactly, Kelly. So Michael to action for this week, I think I want all of our guests to do two things. One, absolutely. Please go read his new book, and it's titled unthinkable trauma truth in the trials of American democracy, just to remind you. One of the best so far of 2022. I'll say it now, even though it's just the very beginning of the year. So that's number one. And then number two, just shamelessly plugging here. Go check out Brady's report on the insurrection, Kelly had a massive hand in it, so kudos to you, madam, but it's so good and so important that if you care about gun violence prevention, you have to care about the insurrection and I think vice versa. So please, I'm just going to recommend everyone go check those two out. I'll put them both on my goodreads account. That's really what I'm going to push for this week. I want everyone.

"Hey everybody, this is JJ. Welcoming you back to another episode of red, blue and Brady. And this is Kelly and I'm welcoming you back to our series on the insurrection on January 6th, 2021. This is part two. And the reason why we felt that this episode book ended our last one is that we thought this conversation with us and Brady's president Chris Brown and representative Jamie Raskin is so important for breaking down for folks, not just the origins in the aftermath of the insurrection, but what it all means in a larger context. Yeah, and it's a real privilege for us to be able to talk to representative Raskin about that for a number of reasons. First and foremost, because when he was in the capitol on January 6th, 2021, it was right after he lost his son. So not only was that already something heavy to be carrying, but then you have to undergo an attack and deal with that. And so we're incredibly fortunate that he's willing to share that experience with us. But then secondly, he's brilliant. And so long before 2021, he had been thinking about some of the forces that gave rise to January 6th like extremism and white supremacy and anti government rhetoric. And now in the wake of that, he's continuing to use his position to think about what we can do to make sure something like that never happens again and to make sure that we actually continue to have a democracy in this country. So it's a real privilege to be able to talk to him about these issues..

"This is morning edition from NPR news I'm Leila folded and I'm Rachel Martin good morning The threat that Republicans will take over the House of Representatives hovers over the progressive movement of the Democratic Party There's also a new wave of candidates fighting for congressional seats in the November midterms Two progressive lawmakers in the house Democrats Jamie Raskin and ro Khanna are working on new strategies They believe will rack up new victories for the party's liberal wing We need to defend American constitutional democracy with everything we've got at this point And that calls upon us to be as ambitious as we can be in terms of reaching out to people all over America They say this includes coalition building sharing a more optimistic message and less preaching and pure congressional reporter Claudia grisales sat down with Raskin and Connor and she joins us now Good morning Claudia Good morning Rachel How are our progressive Democrats outlining the stakes in this election Democrats are deeply worried about this threat in November And this is part of how this conversation began for Raskin and Khanna kind of warned if the GOP does indeed take over President Biden will be impeached certain Democrats will be forced off committees but he's trying to stay hopeful that they can defy political projections He says it will be critical to remind Americans that Democrats pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan into law along with the nearly $2 trillion pandemic relief Bill last year So these two lawmakers think they have a plan to help Democrats in particular progressives They both entered Congress in the same year 2017 from opposite sides of the country though Raskin from Maryland Connor from California How did they become the leads on this They said that there is a new urgency and they saw in each other partners to address it to grow Democrats reach Connor said their brainstorming sessions started after a phone call from President Biden into a closed door congressional progressive caucus meeting last October We're asking me to poignant remark to the president I don't know if Jamie remembers this but he got up and he said yes we're all progressives but we're also Democrats in most importantly we have to recognize that the challenge against us is the return of authoritarianism And then those are the stakes Connor is seated next to Raskin the dew have met up this afternoon in Raskin's office in the house rayburn building to lay out their new mission to shake up discussions for the progressive caucus and Democrats Khanna of California is a Silicon Valley progressive while Raskin of Maryland a constitutional scholar Both have tired of purity politics that have overtaken Democrats message In each other they see coalition builders and pragmatists who can work to reorient how their wing of the party reaches voters and expands that reach along the way You know I hear from Republicans frequently in my district who say they can't take it anymore and they want to become Democrats but they want to make sure that there's a place for them in our party And I assure them that there is Raskin and Khanna argue that former president Trump was able to encroach on what was traditionally Democrats turf that is Middle America by speaking their language Still voters have issues with both parties during a recent visit to Pennsylvania Connor learned about a focus group that characterized Republicans as quote crazy and Democrats as preachy Khanna and Raskin say that preachy tone has got to go for example when talking about sweeping proposals for progressives such as Medicare for All Here's Khanna Preachy is just going to be and say well if you're not for Medicare for All then you must be evil and you must want people to die and you must be wrong right As opposed to saying here is why Khanna says Democrats can make the case for Medicare for All for voters Start a dialog and listen to their concerns and he says progressives face a constant challenge along the way asking the right questions How do we get people on board with it And how do we make sure that if we have to compromise on something that we get something done My view is we should be firm in our ideals but then also pragmatic about what it's going to take to move the ball forward Raskin who is also a member of the House panel investigating the January 6th attack argues the right wing is trying to demolish faith in democracy He says it's time for progressives and Democrats to better defend against Republican attacks I call myself a liberal because I think that liberty has got to be a central value What we're doing But these days I love to call myself a conservative too because I want to conserve the constitution the Bill of Rights the land the air the water the climate system the Voting Rights Act the Civil Rights Act the national labor relations act social security Medicare Medicaid everything that our Friends across the house seem to want to be tearing down is everything that we want to conserve Khanna says there's pockets of America that have been left behind that Democrats are not reaching today And so we have a skepticism out there for a large part of the country that has fallen behind that's lost jobs And when I or Jamie or someone's up on TV saying here's what's going to happen There's a skepticism whether those communities whether people feel like they're going to benefit Raskin says Democrats need to restore the idea that it's the.
Cape Up with Jonathan Capehart
"raskin" Discussed on Cape Up with Jonathan Capehart
"Capehart, and welcome to capehart. On January 6th, 2021, supporters have then president Donald Trump stormed the U.S. capitol as Congress was going about its constitutional duty to certify the election of Joe Biden as the next president. Among the members of Congress trapped in the House chamber that awful day, was congressman Jamie Raskin, Democrat from Maryland. 6 days earlier, his beloved son Tommy died by suicide, the day before the insurrection, Raskin laid his son to rest. He recounts those two horrific events in his moving new book, unthinkable. Trauma, truth, and the trials of American democracy. In this conversation, first recorded on January 5th for Washington Post live, Raskin talks about Tommy, the insurrection, how they plan to thwart Trump's attempts to steal the election and whether he thinks Trump committed a crime on January 6th, 2021. So I have no doubt as one of the impeachment managers and as someone who voted successfully to impeach Donald Trump, that he committed a constitutional crime when he incited violent insurrection against the union. Raskin is also a member of the January 6th select committee, so you're not going to want to miss what he has to say about the potential for subpoenas for sitting members of Congress, and whether he has any qualms about serving one to the former president. Welcome congressman. Thank you for having me, Jonathan. I'm delighted to be with you. So congressman, it's been a year since you and your wife, Sarah bloom, lost your son Tommy. How are the two of you and your two daughters doing? Well, it's a day to today struggle to recover some sense of equanimity in our lives. But we're not drowning in agony and brief so much that we can't talk about Tommy anymore. We are able to talk about him without crying, which is an important step forward. And we miss him sharply and intensely every single day. But we have a big family with lots of cousins and uncles and aunts and we have tons of Friends and a great community and I've got the greatest constituents in the world. So we're surrounded by a lot of love, but thank you for asking Jonathan. You know, part one of your book is all about Tommy. Your love for him is as palpable as your heartbreak over his death. And you write about his suicide with aching honesty. Why was it important for you to do that? Well, it's the story of his life and I didn't want his whole life to be defined by it, but it was a part of it. It was the very end of it. And if there's any way that it could help anybody else, then that would be all of the good. Tommy was his little sister tabitha put it above all utilitarian. He wanted to increase the maximum good for the maximum number of people and animals all sentient beings. And so if this helps one person, and we think it's already helped some people because we've been hearing from them, then it's all the good that we've been public about it and we've been honest about it and I don't think Tommy would have it any other way. From reading the book and I'm not quite done, I'm almost there. But the big chunk that I've read already, it's clear Tommy was your best friend, your north star on a lot of things, particularly on doing what's right, wasn't he? Well, I describe him as my greatest student and also my greatest teacher eventually because the pupil certainly surpassed the teacher in so many ways. I mean, Tommy was a moral and political and legal philosopher. And he had an extraordinary precociousness of understanding. I remember we have a close friend who actually lived in our basement apartment, and now in Nathan, who's now a federal judge. And Ali was clerking for justice Stevens and she took Tommy down to justice Stevens chambers to meet him and they were on the way down and Tommy was just 6 or 7 years old. And she started talking about how much she loved justice Stevens and what a great justice he was and Tommy said, yeah, but what did you think about his dissenting opinion in Texas versus Johnson? Because Tommy said, even justice Scalia got that right that you can't put someone in jail for flying desecration, which is just a thought crime. And then I said, well, I think justice Stevens said that allowing someone to desecrate a flag is like allowing someone to desecrate the Lincoln Memorial and then Tommy said back to her as Ali reported to us, well, we only have one Lincoln Memorial, but we all have our own flag. So people can do with their flags, but they want. So he was really brilliant, but what was most exceptional about him was his heart. He just had a perfect heart and he felt the pain and the suffering of the entire world and of course of the animal kingdom too. He was a zealous vegan, but he was not a guilt tripping politically correct vegan. He was just someone who said, we can live without slaughtering animals for protein, especially in the age of impossible burgers. And beyond sausage. And he converted more people to not eating meat, including people in our family than anybody I've ever met. Including you, as I learned in the book, Tommy's funeral was on January 5th. Actually, a year ago today. And the power of his life and what he believed in is what helped guide you through a big assignment you had a year ago tomorrow when Tommy took his life. You were putting the final touches on your strategy and what you were going to say during the proceedings to count the electoral votes and the expected objections on January 6th. And you write on page a 101 12. By the time January 6th arrived, we had been preparing for the counting of the electors for months, our preparations had started as far back as May 2020. You were ready for everything from the bullying of bullying of state election officials to the possibility of Pence throwing the election into the House of Representatives. But you write, we had prepared for everything. Everything that is, except everything that was actually about to happen. You addressed the House floor where you could a president Abraham Lincoln,.

"Jamie Raskin said the evidence is clear case is based on cold. Hard facts. CBS is Stacey Lynn says the vote cross party lines. Next GOP senators joined the Democrats voting. It was constitutional. So now we move on to the meat of the trial on Wednesday, there will be presentations from both sides. They each get up to 16 hours to lay out their case. We expect to hear the House managers say Trump's words incited the riot and he needs to be held accountable. Former President Trump's legal team will say the people who breached the capital did so on their own accord. Sources say. Mr Trump is not happy with his attorneys more from CBS is Major Garrett. Former president Trump agrees based on a couple of sources angry about what he saw. CBS News Special Report. I'm Lisa Matteo. Let's turn it over to w. T. O. P S. Mitchell Miller, who is live on Capitol Hill, Mitch well a little bit more now about those six Republicans who cross party lines. One of them was Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. He had not supported the vote earlier that took place a few weeks ago in connection with that constitutionality issue interesting. He was very candid with reporters after the First day of the trial and basically said that he thought that the House managers on the Democratic side did a better job than the president's lawyers. As you heard there, there is some concern from former president Trump about the performance of his lawyer. Specifically, they have singled out Bruce Castor, who gave the first presentation during the trial. All the other Republican Senators, by the way, voted for going ahead with the constitutional question and a previous vote. So no surprise there. What else stands out to you about the first day of the trial, Mitch? Well, first of all, there was the video that the Democrats put out which was widely anticipated very well put together and really mashes up all of those horrible moments that happen on January 6. There were, of course, a lot of high level arguments related to constitutionality, but I think that an emotional level. There was a moment with a Maryland congressman Jamie Raskin, who recounted the deadly violence that day how he was separated from his daughter and son in law during the mob's attack. They had gone to the capital with him in support, with the Raskin families still dealing with the recent death of Jamie Raskin. Son Tommy, he says after he was safely reunited with his daughter. He had this conversation. I told her how sorry I was. I promised her that it would not be like this again. The next time she came back to the capital with me, and you know what she said. She said Dad I don't want to come back to the capital. One of the really emotional moments today during the trial is that very personal moment for Jamie Raskin was recounted. The trial will resume tomorrow at noon. And that is when the opening arguments will take place, Mitch one other question before you go the president's attorney, David show and talked about Democrats. He used the word Agree, tearing the country apart, choosing partisanship over country, you know, politically weaponizing the Constitution these air similar arguments that the Democrats make. I found that fascinating. Yeah, What's really interesting is that there are a lot of parallels and those arguments that were made with the first impeachment trial that it was politically inspired that a lot of Republicans say this is just an effort. As you said to weaponize. The impeachment process that defense attorneys also played their own video, a much shorter video, which it showed over and over again, many of the Democratic lawmakers calling for impeachment fairly early in the president's term. So ah lot of similar arguments there again, though. What was really interesting I think after today's first day of the trial is that There was a lot of concern. I think on the Republican side that the defense for the president was not as strong as it should have been. All right, Mitch. Thanks. You bet. W t o p. Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller 6 35 AM Rich Mackenzie, owner of Metropolitan Bath and Tile. Had a customer call me recently and asked if I could recommend someone that could do a small repair in her bathroom. Little surprise that the question I said Mrs Shepard, we've done to other bathrooms for you. Why wouldn't you have us do the repair? She said. Oh, my. I didn't think you'd be interested in such a small job. So it got me thinking. I wonder how many other folks out there wondered the same thing? Well, I'm here to tell you that at Metropolitan Bath and tile, we love small jobs. If it's in the bathroom. We're happy to do it. Everything from re caulking toe a whole new bathroom..

"In vandalism and violence. That was that and now the president saying that he is not responsible and that his incitement to violence Was totally appropriate. The president's actions demonstrate his absolute inability discharge the most basic and fundamental powers and duties of his office. Therefore, the president must be removed from office immediately. This is a decision we make with the utmost solemnity and prayerful nous, which this crisis requires removal of the president is an unprecedented action, but it is required. The crossing is an UN president. It is an unprecedented moment in history because the danger that he poses and I heard the previous speakers say that we are objecting to the president because we don't like the way he executes the duties. Execute system? No, we don't like it at all acts of sedition, incitement to insurrection. Treasonous activity. And if you are associating yourself with that, as the proper execution of the president's Duties. You are associating yourself with sedition. And treason. Yesterday in a pro former section. We introduce United's consent request to take up former rock polishing Raskin's legislation, which calls on the vice president to mobilize the Cabinet to activate the 25th amendment to remove the president. From office again to prevent him for causing more damage to our country who knows what he might do next? The House Republicans rejected this legislation. And so the president's unhinged, unstable, deranged access and sedition may continue endangering America. And undermining our democracy. Now we're taking up this legislation and regular session. After passage. We're calling on the vice president to respond within 24 hours of passage. This resolution gives half brother Republicans the clear choice to honor the oath of office to defend our democracy. And to uphold the sacred trust given to us by the Constitution, and by those whom we represent. Mr Speaker joined the president Trump presidency this four years and especially during this said time. Recalled the worlds of the great Israeli poet a hood manner. That's what he said. He said. I can't keep silent and light of how my country has changed her face. Won't quit trying to remind her in her ears. I'll sing my cries until she opens her eyes. I can't keep silent of how my country's changed her face. Earth, my Republican college to open their eyes and to finally hold this president accountable the security of our country and the future of our very democracy or its state. When we pray. God to bless America. Let us hope that that blessing comes down strongly. Nice in the next few days with that, Mr Chairman, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time and again applaud the great leadership of Mr Raskin, speaker years back as the gentleman from Maryland Reserve Reserved? Yes. Gentlemen from Ohio's recognized Speak, right or you're two minutes. The gentleman from Virginia Mr Klein generals recognized for two minutes. Thank you. Mr Speaker arrives today in opposition Toe House resolution 21 calling on vice President Pence to invoke Section four of the 25th amendment. Like all of us. I condemn in the strongest possible terms. The violence that occurred here in our nation's capital last week. Political violence is never the answer, regardless of which side of the political spectrum it occurs. And that's a strongly held position on which I've been clear since well before representative Bin Klein, Republican of Virginia, the adoption of this political resolution would be divisive rather than unifying. Vice president has said he has no intention of taking action under the amendment. So this process is pure political theater on the part of the majority. In addition, no due process has been provided. As a former prosecutor of law enforcement, brought evidence of a crime to me and said, Take this to the jury tomorrow. For a jury trial. There'd be no chance for the defendant to prepare any defense. I'd be violating half the Constitution, the code of Virginia over 100 different rules of procedure. More than 50 years Since the 25th amendment was ratified, Section four has never In and vote. Such there no judicial or authoritative opinions that would evaluate its implementation and absent this, we much must look to the legislative intent of the Congress that passed its language and nowhere in the legislative intent is the current situation envisioned. Meant to be used for incapacity, not for political ends with eight days remaining in a president's term. Last week, vice president Pence was lauded by the majority for not yielding to pressure to exert power beyond his constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election. Yet the majority today is attempting to pressure him to exert power beyond the intention of his constitutional role in section for the 25th amendment. This action will only further fuel the political divide among our citizens and will be detrimental to the long term efforts to unify our country. Mr Speaker. Both President Trump and President elect Biden have called for a peaceful transition of power would encourage members of both parties to work toward this end and vote against this rushed, misguided, politically motivated resolution. You're back. I mean, years back, was your gentleman reserved? Gentlemen, Reserves the gentleman from Maryland. My now yield. One minute to Miss Lofgren, General Lady from California miss. Welcome. The Chairman has own Office Administration committee is recognized. Mr Speaker last week is we can't ID electoral college votes. I said this day marks a crossroads for our American democracy. We didn't know. Then what an ominous statement. That was we do now. Congress was attacked by a violent mob incited by the president to stop us from doing our cost Tuchel job. The president not only encouraged the mob, he said, he loved them. And made no serious effort to stop them. Lives were lost and put in danger. Constitutional government was urgently threatened. The president's actions were not only wrong, they were dangerous. He lives in an alternate reality. He's a continuing threat to America. Vice president. Pence would invoke the 25th amendment assume presidential duties until the inauguration next week and save us from a president who is unable to function. Unable to protect our country. I urge all including my Republican colleagues to put politics aside. Act to secure the safety of our country. We truly are at a crossroads for our American democracy. Gentleman from Maryland. I reserve reserve. Right. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized. Ms. Speaker you two minutes to the gentleman from Arizona. Mr Donovan's recognized. Thank you, Mr Speaker. The violence, the capital last week, has been condemned by Republicans, Democrats and by President Trump. So I wonder, why are the Democrats stoking the fire instead of dousing the flames? This. This 25th amendment resolution is actually similar with some differences from the proposal filed in October of this year. By this same representative and joined by 42 Democrats. The problem that time is they were trying to representative Andy Biggs, Republican of Arizona. They want the vice president, too. Uh, invoked the other, uh, portion of Article four. But the problem, of course, is The vice president said. Very lovely letter to them, saying he's not going to do that. So our nation is divided. And while folks on the left are trying to lay this all on President Trump You should consider a few a few statements from colleagues across the aisle. One of our colleagues at one point said If you see anybody from that cabinet meeting Mr Trump's Cabinet in a restaurant and department stores, gas stations, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome here. They're not welcome anymore anywhere. Senator Booker called for his supporters to go to the hill today. Get up and please get up in the face of some Congress, people. I have dozens of more similar statements. What we're talking about here today is a resolution asking the vice president To invoke.

I think next week not sure who's filling in the rest of the week, But I'm sure you're gonna have a good time. We always do. You confined me online, Twitter or Facebook or social media. Facebook is social media. That's right. Lincoln Instagram anyway. Best money moves dot com is the easiest. Robin Raskin is the founder of a company called Solving for Tech and she is one of these people who always knows what's going on with technology. In fact, I've known Robin For 15 years. And really have always been amazed by her breath of knowledge. When it comes to technology, Robin, I'm so excited that you turned out to be today's guest about technology. Welcome to Chicago. This was so serendipitous. It is great to hear your voice and thank you for having me It's delightful. So this all came about yesterday. I was filling in for Anna and we get a lot of texts on the show. And somebody said, Hey, how about talking about that? Wall Street journal story about technology for 2020? That'll change your life, and I thought Yes, we all need to change our life. This year s o don't know. What are you seeing out there? That is absolutely mind blowing Well, you know, it's been an amazing year for technology. As you know, people who didn't know move from a zoom from, um, mesh router are now experts because they were forced into it. And as we say in the technology industry, you know Life accelerated for the industry that five years in a single year just because the need was there, and it was people's lifeline was through their screens, and so That Which will see it. C s 2021 is kind of a summary of all of those efforts, but also where we're going in future. Still, though, 10 good example. One good example. Call it contact lists everything. Um, even after the vaccine, and we are going to be reluctant to touch things. So you have seen new payments distance? Whether it happened go credit cards are paying through your watch or paying through voice enabled things. You will see a lot of payment systems. That require no touch it off Believer in the vending machines are doing really well and they're dispensing everything. So this whole idea of even trying on clothing trying on makeup with augmented reality is going to be really a big concept at the shelf, so Contact lists for sure. So I just have to jump in and say you're It's so interesting because I see people wearing these huge goggles. I've actually tried this out. I was it the consumer electronics show I want to say about Seven or eight years ago, and it was just starting right. They would you I put it on and literally. I got so dizzy. I fell down. It's not for everybody. But it was amazing because you really felt like you were there. But My brain. We do a zoom conference. We made do it in virtual reality and be able to shake hands and actually see each other in three dimensional spaces. And with augmented reality I'm seeing and even now people are trying on makeup at home with augmented reality or hair coloring, and then trying it before they buy. It would have touching anything, and I would be important to the other big thing. You're gonna see a lot of in this one cracks me up. I call it foldable everything, but it's really important because they develop new technologies. So instead of having a computer screen or a laptop screen or phone screen that are As solid and stagnant. These things will fold in bed. So you will still you apple, the new apple phone that they're working on the two versions. I heard they've got one with a hinge and one that literally just folds over which is kind of amazing to think about. You will sing the Novo at the show with its new foldable laptop. That kind of, you know, phones up like a pocket sized things and then unfold. You see LG with a roll of all, it's even better than a foldable phone. Not sure who wants it yet, but they're you'll shoot Samsung's foldable phone. And you'll see LG with a foldable monitor like so imagine taking your TV and folding it up and bringing it somewhere else. Who told the ball is going to be very new, very expensive, but ultimately everything's gonna fold. You know what's so funny? Robin is how quickly the price and all this stuff is coming down. So I went to Costco. Everybody who listens to the show. No, I'm those. I'm like a Costco junkie. But anyway, I was at Costco on Christmas Eve. And I was just amazed at you could buy a four k 82 inch television for about $700.82 inches. It's incredible, and it's not just the TV. So for we upgraded our system this year. So now everything is can't say her name Royal Alexa enabled so I can say Turn on the TV, um, lower the light. Turn on the heat. So this integration whether you use Google or Electra or fearing, um, to manage all this, this integration of Europe's products and entertainment products in particular. Is Thies TV's air so smart now because they're not just playing your television. They're playing your cord cutting stations and your YouTube and your resume and your conferences. So they've gotten super smart. No, really are smart TVs now and it It's easy. It's interesting. So my the reason we went to Costco is my mom who's 83. She had a four year old I want to say, like 48 Inch TV, and it had gotten to a place in only four years. Maybe it was five years old. Not more than that. Where it was so cumbersome to use. The just the handheld was difficult for her to use, and she couldn't remember where things were. And Sam figured that if we got her a version of the You know, an upgraded, newer version of the TV that we had a Samsung TV that at least he'd be able to talk her through how to how to do it. Well, it turns out This TV is so smart that he was able to literally get her set up, and that's it. She's only had one tech call to. You know, son in law number one, Um, T help with it because it's so much easier to navigate the software in these TVs has just gotten much easier. It's so it's really timely and it's helped so many people, but you'll learn. The more I think important note into means that the most important that you'll see it's the F or the development and health care and What we saw this year. For better or worse is that people needed to take control of their health. And they have you know from wearing their wearables that track their steps to the exercise to the oxygen and breathing to their temperature. So I think there's a couple of areas one is a college d I Why health care, do it yourself and stuff that you're diagnosing your own care. But you notice when something's wrong, you know if there's a fluctuation, and you're sleeping with your calories burned or where your blood pressure and so people are Mindful and eventually and starting this year, you'll see people like garment and Samsung and Apple allowing you to share that information with your doctor. You know, as these systems mature, and the doctor doesn't want to know every time you have a heartbeat, but they want to know if there's an incident, you know, so you'll see this idea of do it yourself. You're going to speak. Do it yourself kits for things the allergy care. Immune system.
