"What Europe can do next to re contain Russia by Liam Byrne. Bern is chair of the parliamentary network on the World Bank and IMF. And a member of the UK's House of Commons, foreign affairs committee. As Chinese president Xi Jinping visited the Kremlin this week, Russian expansionism is getting a tacit nod of approval. Vladimir Putin will likely emerge emboldened from the talks with his fellow president for life, who previously promised a friendship without limits. That is why the UK and its European partners must work far faster to develop a grand strategy for re containing Russia in Ukraine and on three global fronts, where Chinese support will help Putin advance. Africa, Central Asia, and crucially, the Arctic. Containment was first proposed by the American analyst George Keenan in 1946, as a strategy for a long-term patient, but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies. It later became the Truman doctrine and today we need the same approach again. In Africa, Europe must now find a way to counter the brutal Wagner group of mercenaries that has opened a second Russian front, especially in the Sahel, controlled by yevgeny bogosian, the Wagner group is waging war and at least 5 African nations runs social media influence operations in several more, and as knitted together illicit business networks that have helped channel over $250 million into Putin's war coffers. And Central Asia, that vast space once crisis crossed by spies and soldiers in the 19th century great game between Britain and Russia, a new battle for influence is underway. Along Russia's southern Flank, former Soviet states are looking for new partners as its younger citizens seek education and opportunity in the west. But closest to home is the Arctic, where Russia is reopening Cold War era bases above the Arctic circle, and reinforcing the Cola Peninsula, home to the ballistic nuclear missile submarines that provide Russia's second strike capability. Here, Russia is also advancing its claim to the Arctic's 1100 mile long underwater lomonosov ridge that divides the Arctic basin and would hugely extend Russia's sovereign rights to critical minerals like palladium, cobalt, and nickel, providing the Kremlin with billions in new revenues.

"British military officials say Russian attempts to storm the town of volodar in Ukraine's eastern X province appear to have slowed.

Jimmy Carter Enters Hospice Care
"David Z Wagner is a friend of mine in Cleveland. And since it's president's day, I want to read you an email. He said to me yesterday. I hear I've met president Carter and spoken with him and continue to be an active contributor to his charity. What needs to search far and wide to find a more compassionate hardworking knowledgeable and kind person, the hands on billing rookie champion, the work with Guinea worm disease, and the active charitable leadership he provided to many causes is very impressive. His recovery from brain cancer years ago is amazing. Most importantly, his personal negotiations in relentless pursuit of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel stands alone is one of the greatest achievements in diplomacy over the past 50 years. Yes, he was a poor president, surrounded by the inept and the press used Billy as their pinata daily. One of the most rebound, one of the many rebound presidents. We have elected who struggled mightily in office, and then did well in post presidency years. All Americans should pause and pay their respects to the man Jimmy Carter and his achievements. I trust you can help inform your audience in these contentious times as to the man in the humanitarian he is and the good he did for many, many people worldwide, David Wagner. David is a 100% correct. And the honor of interviewing former president Carter on a book tour when he made to LA in 1994 when I was hosting the nightly news and public affairs show there for PBS life and times were trans for a decade and he was gentle he was wonderful. He was terrific in the post presidency years. He did what HW and W have done, which has raised money for a lot of people do a lot of good things for a lot of people spend time with your family. And now you've made some missteps in this book, but not perfect. You've gone partisan, like human rights policy during 77 to 81 when he was president just occasional faceplant, but the man is a legend for helping the homeless, building houses, habitat free humanity. He's a good man. And I salute him and pray for him and for his family as he enters hospice care this president's day.

But I feel less safe when it comes to some sort of internal Attack. Homegrown terrorism. Other entities that are are already here. And I think that's a fair point. When I asked that question a few minutes ago. I was thinking external attacks. Obviously, that's what happened on 9 11 so, but I recognize that many of you who say we are less safe or I feel less safe. I feel as Safe or unsafe as I did, then a lot of you have referenced the fact that it's maybe more so because of threats inside our borders than than from without.

They were in second grade on 9 11. Oh, one. And I asked, What do you remember as a seven year old, a second grader? Seven year old is second grade. Is that right? I think that's right.

There are obviously young people who are alive that were not alive then. So my question here is this What responsibility. Do you take?

That's hard to Other than Describing it as that that That's difficult to teach. I mean, it's hard to put into words. It's hard to set an example to somebody who didn't live through it. As to what we all felt. But what responsibility do you feel? You? Uh oh. Young people. And generations moving forward. You will not have been alive then. And we're not or were far too young to know really what was going on. And you can answer this question. Whether you are a parent whether you are a grand parent, whether you are an aunt or an uncle, whether you are a teacher. No matter what your situation is in life. There could be a moment.

Okay, Here's the deal. University of Wisconsin at Madison. Or, as we call it, Fred, because, um James Madison, the fourth president, United States is now run afoul of the politically correct and the perpetually offended because he was a slave owner. And so you have all these people who were just appalled at the name of Madison and Madison is of course, named after James Madison. So as we've talked about, like a couple times, James Madison High School in Madison is now being renamed because people are offended that it's named after the fourth president, which then raises the larger question of well, Okay, if that's the case, you know how can any of our progressive friends who live in the capital of the state of Wisconsin? How can you live? With being living in a city named after this racist, terrible president, if we've got to change the name of the high school change that from Madison, Don't we have to change the name of the city? Where is that outrage? Where is the leadership from Tony Evers, and my suggestion would be. Let's not call it Madison anymore. Let's just call it Fred. You know, University of Wisconsin, Fred, but but again, I digress. So anyhow, out in what is still at least for the moment called Madison at the University of Wisconsin Madison. They have various forms of housing. You've got dorms and you've got the off campus apartments. What they also have is is some university owned. There's an apartment complex that the university took over a number of years ago, and it's called Eagle Heights. And it's again. These are apartments and it's on the northwest edge of campus. Eagle Heights. Let me see. I have the numbers here. It's actually relatively large. They've got They've got over 1100 residences that are there's there's over, like 1100 people that live at Eagle Heights. Most of the people who live in these apartments are Graduate students or students who are working on on postgraduate things like like doctorates, and most of them tend to be older. And they live in these areas with their their families. So there's lots of there's lots of kids that live in these these complexes as well. Like I say, there's about 15 1500 residents who live in Eagle Heights. These apartments including 327, Children, and for almost all of these 327 Children. They're too young to be vaccinated so that that's kind of the backdrop. So you've got Children too young to be vaccinated that, at least for covid that are living there, and this is again. It's kind of a quasi adult sort of thing. You don't have kids you have you have you don't have college age students. It tends to be like the older students that graduate students and the The postgraduate students. Okay, So why are we talking about Eagle Heights? Well, here's what the university has decided to do. Okay, They're opening up, and they're trying to wrestle with the idea of what happens if a student gets covid. Right now. In last year, For example, if somebody got covid, what they would do is they would move them to a quarantine dorm like a dorm floor or something else that was designated and boom. That's where they would stay while they were getting over Covid. Well this year, the university has decided. Well, we're not going to. We're not going to reserve a dorm floor because we've got demand for student housing. In addition, We're not going to rent out hotel space because hotel spaces in demand, and by the way, um lots of the hotel rooms are already taken, especially around Wisconsin. Badgers football teams football games, So okay, we've got a kid who's in the dorms who tests positive for for Covid. So what are we going to do with them? Well, we can't put him in a hotel because again, we've got people. The hotels are all taken up with. People are going to come in and watch the football games. We can't move them to a separate designated dorm. Because we don't want to set aside those rooms because we've got more kids that are coming in, and we want to be able to make money by renting the dorm space out to them. So here's what we're going to do we we're going to. We're going to move the covid kids into about 30 vacant apartments that are in this Eagle Heights apartment complex. Where you have young families and Children. Okay. Now, these graduate students in these post graduate students are saying Wait a second. You know, we you know we're not anti science or anything like this, But But what? What could be a worse solution? We've got our Children that are here. You're going to taking be taking kids that are are infectious. And you don't want them to be around other kids. So you're going to college age students, So you're going to move them in into these apartments in this apartment complex where we're all living together. Plus, the university says We don't stigmatize people. So we're not going to identify the kids who have covid who don't so when the kids are out and about or walking down the hallways or whatever. The families and their Children. They're not going to know who has covid or not our number 85561616 20. That is the Econet mortgage talk and text line. I'm sure there is a worse way to handle this. But honestly, I'm not sure what that would be. These postgraduate students and these doctorate students, many of whom have young families are just appalled by this and you know in another world. If you said, Hey, we're going to take kids that have young. We're gonna take teenagers and young adults that have covid and who are contagious and we're going to move them out of the dorms and we're going to move them in close proximity to 327 Children. If you would say that, in any sort of context, people would look at you and say, Are you nuts? And yet that is precisely what U W Madison is doing. 85561616 20. That's the AC unit mortgage talk and text line. What do you think about this? And I guess my answer would be that this is about as bad a way to approach this as I can possibly imagine. To me. You either have to carve out dorm rooms or require kids to quarantine in their dorm or alternatively, you send the kids home, but you don't move them in with with Children. 85561616 20. That's the accurate mortgage talk and text line. What do you think we discuss? Football season has arrived. It's the final preseason matchup. The pack heading to Buffalo to take on.

"Jeff Wagner on WTMJ. I guess there's really two issues. The first issue is the USA Today that's always been free, digitally now announcing that they're going behind the paywall, and that essentially is going to be 10 bucks a month. If you want his digital only I just don't see a lot of the USA today, readers paying $10 a month. What's more, if you want if you want to have a newspaper delivered, it's going to be about 360 bucks a year. I I really don't see. Like the I don't see people getting that delivered to their homes and stuff. I mean, maybe if they cut enough deals, you can get the USA today delivered to hotels or things like that. Maybe they can keep it going. But I you know where What is the future print newspapers and I I just don't see it. I think the more you put these pay walls in the more you're going to see a consolidation like I was saying earlier. I have a lot of subscriptions and you know, and they're not necessarily cheap, but there's something that I think I need to do while I'm working Well, once once once I stopped working I am. I'm most of them are certainly gone. Jeff. Do you think that hard copy newspapers forced reporters to be more precise on their reporting with all digital. The amount of fake news and quick reports could plague us more? Well, I I don't I think what's really going on is I think you did You have fewer experienced reporters, and you have fewer editors and less screening. That's I. I see a lot of different stories that are out there that I'm like, Man. You know, if there was an editor, um, like that would be looking at the story like you'd have Editors 20 years ago, but I don't mean to sound like that old guy saying back in the day. But there's stuff that you see that comes through there that would have never gotten past editing or somebody would have asked some of these various questions, and you don't see that now at at all, Jeff I can't believe newspapers are still around now. I've been hearing for years They will disappear. But they hang in there even in these small towns, But I'm with you. I can't see how This keeps going, Jeff. Now I think print newspapers are needed to carry the inserts for the stores. Free Chopper papers Don't always get that done A lot of times newspapers thin, but the store inserts make them look bigger. But I guess that see that raises the question about How? How much longer those those expensive printed newspaper inserts are going to be around. I mean, I look here. Here's the deal when I am not above using coupons. But why did I just do that? I went I needed to buy a case of copy paper the other day, And so what you do is I was going to the store that was going to I go on their website. And you know on their website, you know you just you just log in, they say Okay, these specials and boom, you know, there's there's the copy paper. I'm getting ready to buy and $13 less than the store. So when I go up to the counter, I've got the case of copy paper and it's you know, and they bring it up for 49. I said, Well, here, I've got this coupon. It's the digital coupon here. It's right here on my phone. They say, Oh, well, honor that night pay 32 or whatever it was I mean, I just I wonder. Maybe not today or tomorrow, But you know how many people really still pour through the Sunday paper? The Wednesday paper you know, looking for coupons to clip as opposed to just doing the stuff digitally and which is a Which is a question Jeff Newspapers who reads newspapers. We have Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. My kids aren't unfortunately even going to know what a newspaper is. Jeff, I think headline writers killed papers by making stories salacious and polarizing. I see. I Actually, I mean, I I disagree with that. I think you know there has been a liberal bias in the in print journalism, and I don't think it's impossible to deny that. But the problems with newspapers are much beyond that. It's it's beyond that. It's just the economics of it doesn't make any sense anymore. It costs a fortune to Physically produce an object and then deliver that object to people's homes. You know, every 24 hours. Plus, we live in a 24 7 society. People want to know what they want to know when they want to know it. All right? I've, uh if I'm out and about and I'm not near the radio. So let's let's say I'm somewhere and I know the brewers are playing, and I'm curious as to where with the Brewers Square is, All I do is I take out my phone and I say, Hey, you know I always hesitate to say that name because then when I said on the radio, this is what happens, People who have their phones open. You'll hear it and then and you get it. But you say, you know, hey, so and so give me the score of the Brewers game, And then it takes about 10 seconds. All the brewers are leading Cincinnati 5 to 1 in the bottom of the fourth inning. You get that information right away. And look, I'm an old dog, and I've learned that new trick I can only imagine. How it is with people who are 20 or 30 years younger than me. The You want the information, but you're not going to wait, um to once a day when the paper gets delivered now again. I enjoy sitting down at breakfast with the Wall Street Journal, and I'm sitting there and meeting and I'm drinking my coffee, and I'm kind of scanning through this thing, and I like it, but that's just something that I grew up with. Lots of people know, And I think you know these hard copies of the paper. I think maybe, you know, maybe the New York Times will survive. Maybe the Washington Post will survive The Wall Street Journal. Maybe some of these national publications, but but I think You know locally, it's just not going to make any economic sense. They're going to force more people to digital. And candidly, I I'm not sure I understand the economics. I'm not sure they can charge enough money that people are willing to pay. That are going to be allowed them to continue producing the content. It's a challenge to this industry, and it's been a challenge for the last 10 or 15 years. How they overcome it. I don't know. But the USA Today now saying, Hey, you've got to pay for our content. My guess is people don't my guess is people are gonna decide the USA today isn't The New York Times It's not The Wall Street Journal. It's not my local paper. I think they're going to take a huge hit when it comes to the digital circulation. But time could tell. Maybe I'm going to be wrong, but I don't think so. All right. Um, this is kind of exciting. Game two bucks versus Phoenixes Tonight You can hear it here on WTMJ. They are in Phoenix, but John McCain, you're with Wisconsin's afternoon news, and for the first hour, he's joined by my teammate Jean Miller.

"City. This is the Jeff Wagner Show. And now WTMJ aims. Jeff Wagner. So, Melissa, do you think people are just kind of killing time till eight o'clock tonight? Waiting for the box game? I would 100% agree with that. Yeah. I mean, when you know when you put it like that, Yeah, I think people are Um, you know they're working, but they're thinking in the back of their head about the game. Well, it is amazing. That's one of the effects that sports have, because you see this, mostly with the Packers, because you know Wisconsin, you know, just obsesses around the Green Bay Packers, and that's outstanding. But it's one of those deals where, Okay, The Packers are playing in the NFC championship game. And the game is going to be at three o'clock on a Sunday. Well, once you know, it's almost like for the entire week. I'm not saying that people are productive, but it's for the entire week. You get the impression that people are like looking at their calendars going, okay, when, when, When is it going to be kick off time? And and I think that the bucks are a lot like that, I think, especially around here. People are just okay, Let's get let's get the game to let's get the eight o'clock and see what happens. I think it's kind of like we won. Amazon has a couple of prime days and your people at work that are, you know, online trying to get the best deal. It's sort. It's sort of like that. But it isn't because we were I mean, we I was trying to arrange some some things. We, you know, we we do stuff with folks, which is really a reflection of The sociability of my wife, and it's great, and we're like looking for different dates. I remember was talking to somebody saying, Hey, are you available in this particular day? Because we're looking at getting together and not well, I don't know that that the bucks are going to be playing, that's going to be right. That's a possible playoff date. You know, maybe we should find another date and say, Okay, well, that's that's interesting, but I do think that that's that's what's so cool about it. I mean, I think it It doesn't matter what your politics are. Just everybody kind of comes together, You know? Yeah, not to cut you off here, but it was interesting. I was talking to Mike Spalding in the newsroom and he was saying, you know, even his wife, you know, that might not be interested in basketball all the time. She you know, she was like, I'm looking on my app on my on my phone watching it so even people that aren't Uh, you know, super sports er are into it because there is an energy and it's a great thing for the city. Well, I mean to Tuesday night, my wife is a A I would describe her as a casual sports man. She's a sports fan, because I'm a sports fan. We we go to Brewers game. She enjoys it. You know, we in the past, we would regularly go to market basketball games and she would enjoy the game and stuff and But it's not like she lives or dies with the team won or not, but I mean on Tuesday night, you know, we sat on the couch in the den, and we we We watched the game until it was kind of apparent that they weren't going to make the comeback. And then you know, I think, but it just depressed crude, bummed her out and said And said, Look, it's you know, it will be okay. They've got another game. That's right. We'll see how it goes. Where you can hear the game here on Wtmj, So stay tuned. Alright, let us switch gears. All right. She smoked dope was the penalty to great. Here's the story. If you haven't heard the the Olympics and you want to talk about a cluster bumble it's it's the Olympics. The Tokyo Olympics are scheduled to start, um At the end of this month. I believe off the top of my head. I think they're scheduled to start on the 23rd right. July July 23rd. They're scheduled to end on August 8th Now the there in Tokyo. The Olympics have been put off for a year because of the pandemic. That these are the 2020 Olympic Games. Sponsors have paid a fortune. All right, so you mean you want to talk about being snake bit? I mean last year, the Olympics were not cancelled. They were delayed. Because of the pandemic, so they're scheduled to happen A year later. Um and so what What's happened is because large chunks of the population in Japan are not vaccinated. And Japan does not have a handle on the spread of covid like we do in the United States, Um, one of the state. They've already made these rules. First of all no international travelers. So if you're an international traveler, if you if your kid was competing in the Olympics, and you want to go watch them, you're not allowed to do that, right, at least up until this week. The rule was that you know if you were If you lived in Japan, you could still go see the games Now they had limits. So like the venues, we're going to be like at 50% capacity and things like that. Well, um, they announced yesterday. That in Tokyo. The games are going to be held under a covid 19 state of emergency, which means that, um, organizers are not going to allow Spectators at many of at many of the games and many of the venues for many of the sports so they're going to be the Olympics after being delayed for a year are going to be held in front of like empty venues. And a lot of these sponsors that had invested big time money with being around the venues. Well, now they're looking at pulling out. I mean, for example, if you're if you're a big international company, and you were planning to have a giant I don't know, 10th and advertising display or whatever, right outside a particular venue. But now you're being told. Okay, no international travelers and no no locals. Okay, It's like all right, well, why? Why bother? We can have the big venue that's there. But if there's nobody who's going to come by, you know this is what we paid hundreds of millions of dollars for I I don't I don't think so. So, um it's it's a mess. So you've got all these problems, and on top of that you now have some issues with the U. S Olympic team. So here's the deal. The the fastest American woman fastest sprinter is a woman named Shock. Perry Richardson. She's 21 years old. I'm at the U. S. Olympic trials last month. She came in first in the 100 M Dash..

So you know it might be presumptuous of me to claim to be the littlest but You know a rich. Let's see the sources you have. Victor hugo's pick hugo's les miserables. Tom by be translated as the wretched of the earth. You know the in the christian religion you have the beatitudes. Blessed are the meek blessed are the peacemakers and so on you have the old hymn amazing grace moretz like me so all of those the we actually got the name When i was in college there was a film series at the university of pittsburgh and they were showing francois truffaut's the four hundred blows and right around the one hour mark. A couple of kids that have just robbed. Somebody's house or walking past a priest. They're walking down the steps and the priest is walking up the steps and they say they look at the priest and they say You know good afternoon madam. And the priest turns around looks at them says little wretch and i saw the subtitles. of course. we're reading the subtitles. And i looked at the people around me. So that's the name of my band the little wretches and in that feels that feels right that that is kind of what we are so we know we we we we sympathize and we speak for ourselves but we we give voice to those who don't belong anywhere don't fit in anywhere Never been on the top of anything. You know that make sense. Now that there's a band you know the right to say why are you. The littlest one then. Well i. i'm the guy who just racket i. I started recommend my brother. You know. I had been part of the young person. I've been part of the original punk scene in pittsburgh and western pennsylvania and you know like a lot of people when i was growing up. I just love music. If if there was anything that i could have gone with my life and play music but it just didn't seem realistic because in order to play in a band you actually have to communicate with other human beings and i hated everybody and everything. So how am. I going to play in a band with other people when i can't stand other people Punk rock kinda gave that bad attitude a license to exist and it just as fate would have it the grace of god. My college roommate was an extremely talented musician. And we started a band and we had a couple of years to tread water and discover. You know what we're really good at. I mean i'm really good at writing. I never thought i could sing. And i can play guitar enough well enough to deliver what i do and then You know that kind of had its peak in fell off. And and my my little brother would you know played the violin. And he he. And i were both big fans of lou reed and patti smith. And you know bob dylan and so. We started learning some old folk songs on guitar and violin. And i built the the little wretches around my songs like every story needs a context. Every picture needs a frame. My stuff doesn't fit in anywhere but if we said it upright people can handle it so you found just a right old folk songs. The right classic rock and roll songs and you know bill. That's all ranch to the to the audience. That might be suspicious. Who are these guys. How presumptious of them to come into our neighborhood bar and dare to play songs. We've never heard thank well here. We're going to hand you an old folk song ruin a handwriting old rock and roll song and then it might help you understand what we're doing a little bit more And you know we kind of got good at. It is as time went on people liked it and then of course we made the mistake of trying to appeal to a greater audience so we were very very unique and we started. We got a little bit more mainstream a little bit more you know classic rock and roll but you know basically what we are. We're storytellers were poets. With music behind us. You know. I hear you familiar with the playwright from pittsburgh. August wilson not heard of him but no hlavac pittsburgh about realize. I didn't realize been them. Because i kept cooling in Philadelphia a by washington state. But it was actually pittsburgh. I was talking to the couple of days ago side. I've actually been there was a sack colleague. Connie monument or something like that. It reminds me. Yeah yeah karnik. The scottish influences huge in our region because You know yeah. Andrew carnegie He's he's largely responsible he and some other industrialists of his era. You know they. They weren't always rich. They were just really ambitious and had a knack for finding something and turning it into something better and you know they're largely responsible for what you know. What now is you know. There was a time when pittsburgh can claim to created the steel that built the united states of america You know it's it's no longer a steel city. Now it's all you know high tech and in hospitals But you know there was a time. I tell people pittsburgh's the eighth most important city in the history of the world.

"I feel like what we have to do here. I is talk a little bit about shame. So a lot of what i've learned about. Shame comes from bernie brown which is probably no surprise. So i feel like. I need to shout out here at the top of the episode because she researches shame like that's been her main life's work and of course she's written a lot of books about it and ted talks about it and all that stuff. But she's like the foremost researcher chaim. And so this is where i've learned a lot about. What is what it means and what we can take away from ant so her work has informed a lot of thoughts and reflections here. So let's turn to brennan for a comprehensive definition of shame. So this is what she says. I defined shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. Something we've experienced done or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. I don't believe shame as helpful or productive. In fact i think shame is much more likely to be the source of destructive hurtful behavior than the solution or the cure i think the fear of disconnection can make dangerous another interesting quote from brennan. Shame corrodes the very part of us. That believes we are capable of change. The reason this particular hind stuck out to me so much is because if we don't believe we can change. We're not going to go after what we want right. That's if our belief in our mind is that. I'm not capable of change or i'm not worthy of change than we never take that step forward to actually go after what we want in life and part of living unapologetically as this line says that we're talking about today. Unapologetic is going after what you want in life and so when we believe that we will accept where we are without question because we don't think we're worth whatever comes on the other of change for us. We believe that what we have is. Maybe even what we deserve. It also makes me think of that quote from one of my favorite books of all time the perks of being a wallflower. That book has meant so much to me and my life and there's a quote from the book that when i read it as a teenager it certainly meant something to me then but it does not even come close to the understanding. I have of this quote now in my life and that cool is we accept the love. We think we deserve and as a teenager. I was like okay. Yeah like i get it. I'm like kind of a surface level. But now i've had a lot more experience both with accepting love from other people and for accepting love for myself and i have found that to be so incredibly true. We accept the love. We think we deserve. We accept a lot in a lot of ways. We accept the life. We think we deserve right. And i don't wanna like gloss over privilege and access and and having money like the things that that can do for us in the world's because there is certainly certainly for a lot of us relations. Why maybe the exact life we want. It's not just because we we don't think we deserve it right. There's a lot more to it. The not but i think it is hopeful lens to look at some of this stuff through like i simply accepting what i think i deserve here. Do i think the. I deserve less in this situation and so i have found it very enlightening to look at in this in this area of like accepting a life that i think are or am i accepting lake the call for something bigger or something different and so matching like my sense of worth my sense of deserving ness to what i want so yeah but yet we were talking about shame. I got off her but i do. Think that year quote from brunei. About like shame corroding the part of us. That believes we're capable of change I think that's really important to look out along with her definition so now that we've established like what we're talking about when we say shame. Let's think about the first part of the cement going after what you want in life. So let's give this some context. Okay i have had conversations with people where i will ask them what they truly want in their lives and they can't answer me and by the way that's not because they don't want anything bites. I believe it's because they have learned that the are allowed to want things or that they're not worthy of wanting things that they should just accept things the way they are because what they want is impossible for them and again. This is not something. That's like a super conscious thoughts on the surface. It's not like i asked the question. What do you actually want in life. And they're like While what i want is impossible Because they don't believe him worthy of it right not the actual thoughts going through. Someone's had but it's kind of these underlying beliefs that we have about ourselves Sue ya and and it's really interesting. Because i think on the surface to a lot of us think i know what i want. I totally know what i want like. I just wanna be happy or ida. Slake wanna i don't move to a bigger house or like i just want to be out of debt right but like my question is what are you truly. Want in your life lake. Where do you truly see yourself and what. How does that correspond to like the values that you have your core values right and that's when the conversation gets gets more interesting because it's kind of off of that surface level and more into like the depths of lake. How do you actually want to live. And that question can be challenging to

"Wagner on WTMJ. It's kind of already starting the Bernie said. Did you see Bernie Sanders has already becoming a new Internet sensation? They're calling it grumpy old guy chic. He shows up at the inauguration, and he's He's wearing a parka with these giants mittens apparently made in Vermont, and he's got a Manila envelope. It looks like he's on his way to the post office end. He's sitting in this folding chair kind of socially distance and things like that. And so they're calling it grumpy old guy chic. I say it's cold, and he's just resting for comfort. But if you want if you want to see the Bernie Sanders I just sent out a tweet. If you follow me on Twitter, it's that Jeff Factor. 6 20. It's just like he's just He's you know, I get it. I mean, he's just cold. There is a point where you know you just my wife is very stylish, and she tries to dress me and sometimes it's kind of like, Well, honey, there's only so much you could do in the bottom line is it's cold outside. And yes, I understand this might not be the best look, but I'm sitting outside it's cold War. It's hot outside or whatever. So you want to see the Bernie Sanders has become like an Internet sensation. All of a sudden. Okay. I have been waiting for this day. For a long time. Let me let me explain. One of the things I've always prided myself alone and doing a radio talk show of the last 12 hours for years I've done it is I'd like to discuss policy things I like to talk about issues with, you know, maybe you disagree with me on things, but that's that's OK. I'd like to discuss Issues and agree or disagree. I like people. If you listen to the show for a couple segments, I like people going on, say, I don't think he's right. But but I know more about this issue than I did before. Maybe if you leave just a little bit smart. That's always been sort of the goal. And I'm not saying we don't talk about personalities and things like that. But I like to talk about issues. One of the things that I was really I've always wore. This is a branch of honor. Back in 2013. And there's his publication called Talkers Magazine, which is kind of like variety for our industry. And 2013 was the first year that I made their list of 100 most influential talk show host in the country, and the response to that was the resist liberal publication that came out And they described me as the evil Mr Rogers. And the way they explained, it is most conservatives on the radio. They're ranchers. They're screamers. They're trying to get people angry. Wagner's not like that, and that makes him more dangerous because when actor talks about these issues in the explains the principles and you listen to him, and you find yourself My God. You find yourself agreed on all of a sudden he sucked you in and you find yourself a girl. It's like Mr Rogers. He draws you in and all of a sudden you're thinking conservative thoughts. How could that possibly be in your thinking all this might be a decent idea. That's why he's the evil Mr Rogers, and I've always warned that it's a badge of honor. It's just I have this idea that. Okay, Well, maybe if people just kind of, you know if you can get past the screaming the name calling stuff like that, if you could just like, listen to the policy things. Maybe you can bring people around. There has been a problem doing that for the last four years because off President Trump and here's the bottom line. I know there are some people on the left who view Trump supporters is being part of a cult. And maybe there's an element of that. But the same is true. A swell There is a cult of trump haters, just like there is a cult of trump lovers. And one of the things that I found frustrating over the last couple years. It's been almost impossible to have a discussion of policy issues. You know, talk about issues because so many people view them through the prism of Donald Trump. I hate Donald Trump. So it doesn't matter what he does. I hate it. I'm just I hated I hated. I hated because I hate Donald Trump. It could have been a policy that Barack Obama or Bill Clinton would have done And yet they hate it because it's Donald Trump. It's the cult of the Trump haters. Donald Trump could reach into his pocket. Give everybody $100 Bill and the Trump haters would still hate it because he gave me $100. Bill, I've got to go and cash this. Do you know how hard it is to cash $100 Bill? He should've given me five twenties. So you had the cult of Trump haters who couldn't listen and think about policies because they viewed it through the prism of If it's something that Trump wanted to do, we hate it. On the flip side of this was the hard core Trump loyalists who didn't want to talk about policy. There were a lot of things that Donald Trump did over the last four years, which If if if Barack Obama had done them or Bill Clinton had done them people, people on the right would have been absolutely outraged by this. I can't believe he's doing this. I can't believe he's doing that. But because just like you had the cult of Trump haters, yet the co the cult of Trump lovers as well, who would say Okay, well, I don't care that this isn't a conservative principle. I don't care that this is something that you know, Ronald Reagan would have never done or George Bush would have never done. I don't care if this is something that is completely different than the conservative values that people have argued about an exposed for, you know the last 40 years. It's Donald Trump. He's doing it. It must be wonderful. And I admit it was an ongoing frustration I would have because we want to talk about issues. And and maybe it was my failure. But I couldn't get at least some of you to get away from the personality. Oh, I hate Donald Trump. So I guy anything he says. I've got to oppose or I love Donald Trump. So anything he does, it has to be good. One of the things that I am hoping is that now that that personality is out of there now, maybe we can get back to the discussion of issues And does does this proposal makes sense? Is it good for the country? Is it going to be good, long term for the country is a good short term for the country. I'm hoping that we could get away from a little bit of the personality. I understand we're still a divided country. But you know, right or wrong, that the way people view this. It was spent for frustrating to me for four or five years because all the issues were viewed through the prism of personality on the left and the right and understand the left likes the old Is there just the trump followers or occult? Well, trump haters or occult too? And you know, back and I have lots of people on both sides and both those cults that listen, so now maybe we can talk about policy, which so I want to start off today with a policy conversation and it's a follow up to something I started doing this at the end of the week last week, just kind of talking about issues and, Yeah, we're going to talk about Trump's departure and all that, but I want to start by one of the proposals. With one of the proposals that Joe Biden is coming out with, And at the end of last week we discussed it. One of the things that he wants to do is he wants to take the minimum wage federal minimum. He wants to raise the federal minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. We have discussed this, you know we discussed at the end of last week, but an interesting sidelight toe what he wants to do. In addition to raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour He wants to do away with the tipped minimum wage. Now, the way it works right now, in restaurants right? The minimum wage is $2.13 for tipped workers. Now, you might say $2.13. People can't make a living on that will know that they can't. But that's because Waitresses, waiters servers. Don't depend on minimum wage. What they do is they make their money on the tips. And if you're and if you're working, you know what a decent restaurant on dure a good server. Almost everybody will tell you that you can make a lot more than $15 an hour at that $2 minimum wage. Almost almost never comes into play..

You take a picture of your junk and you send it. Via text via email. There's a really good chance you're going to get in trouble for it. And yet it happens. I mean, if you you may have heard of their in sports, the New York Mets general manager Sent a photo of his junk. To a female reporter. Almost five years ago. ESPN did a big investigation had the big story yesterday and he is now fired as the Mets general manager. He was just hired like a few months ago, too. Don't Don't. Just saying Guys if you're out there And you're doing this stuff. Knock it off to stop. They give you a dozen reasons why to stop. But how many lessons do you need? You don't Even if it's to somebody, you think? Look, it's how often do you see a celebrity? Get in trouble with a video or something. You just You don't need any of that stuff. You're going to get yourself in trouble. It could come back and could come back and bite you. You could lose a job over it. It's just something that you've got to realize is not worth it. And it apparently Uh, I don't know his name I learned from this. Did anybody learn when Brett Farve did it? Farve. Be penalized for it if you have a fine or something. It fired, do it. Let's see. Well, obviously Anthony Weiner, he Suffer the consequences, right? We know that. The GM of the Mets. He wasn't the GM of the Mets back then, obviously, but Mm hmm. Other people. You know, Jeff and Fox Point makes a good a good comment. You're in the text line. Generally, Jeff says that's true. But Farb seems too, for the most part, been forgiven rather quickly for hiss. You know, you're kind of right about that, Jeff. It seems as if when Farve did it. Now it's become just like a joke. Oh, you remember when far of this whenever they took a picture sent it to a female. How is that any funnier air quotes here because it's not funnier than this guy who did it to a female reporter, the female reporter. Who was foreign. We don't know the name or what country and she didn't know how to handle it because there was something lost in translation. Although let me tell you something, You may not be able to speak the languages fluently is the person who sent you the picture, But you send a picture like that. That kind of surpasses all language barriers. I'm just saying, but Billy guys Don't just don't don't do it. It's it's wrong on so many levels. Mean again, even if you're doing it to your wife. Somebody that you are wedded to for the rest of your life. You send anything electronically. And It can be found. Okay. We don't have to talk about photos of junk. But But is that not one of the side effects of the Internet, You post something? You post something on Twitter on Facebook on Instagram something not nearly as explicit. But you post something and you You better expect. Or at least recognize that It could be used against you at some point, even if it's something as You know? Innocent as a job interview. And I would imagine, and I haven't done any hiring pretty much my entire professional life. But I imagine one of the first things Boss, does you Google somebody right? You Google an applicant. You check them out on Twitter. What is their social media platform, and it lives on forever. It lives on forever, including five years later. In your text, a picture of your junk. Yet. You know, we're gonna have another story like this. Hmm? I don't know how long how long before we have another story like this? That makes national news? Probably a few months. Probably not a year. Some people make the mistake. And we'll have the conversation all over again. Okay? Between now and three o'clock we are going to do Some Looking back, We're gonna reflect on the Trump presidency. Fingers crossed here to reflect on the trump presidency. And we are going to look ahead to the Biden presidency because tomorrow at this very moment, we will have a new president of the United States. Tomorrow morning. There's going to be the send off at Andrews Air Force Base for the president. I don't know if you followed any of that. Apparently, they're looking for bodies. So if you're gonna be the Washington area tomorrow, and you're looking for something to do pre inauguration, maybe you want to go to the Trump send off that air Force Andrews Air Force Base. I've read a story that Anthony Scaramucci, he got an invite, and he said, if I got an invite, they're clearly just blanketing everybody who's emails in the system and inviting them and a lot of people apparently reportedly A lot of people are declining the trump farewell ceremony because They've got a report to the airport at six in the morning in order to get through security and get in position and so on and so forth, so Tomorrow. At this time, it will be President Joseph R. Biden will have coverage throughout the morning. We will have live coverage of the inauguration. The oath of office for him And for Vice President Kamila Harris will have the speech will have some reaction and we'll be all over it tomorrow as you Can expect as we have been for many, many years, so we're gonna look ahead but we're also going to look back..

"1955. Welcome back to Jeff Wagner on WTMJ. Way have literally hundreds of texts about about this here, and we're going to talk about a different aspect of this coming up here for the top of the hour, namely my assertion that some of you don't agree with that President Trump is finished, regardless of whether they're center where together regardless with his impeachment, that might my belief is he's finished as a viable political force, which isn't to say that he's going to go quietly into the good night. Some people. They're challenging that OK, there's a couple text, Jeff. I absolutely cannot stand Trump. But I'm with you on this. It's like that horrible neighbor. You just glad that he's leaving the neighborhood, Jeff, I think he should be responsible for the damage that the rioters did to the capital. How about him? Give the people who died or officers injured a settlement of some sort of money? Jeff, if Trump were to be impeached, Does that mean he wouldn't be able to run for re election in four years? And that is right for people who haven't been following this. That is one of the side things that they could do in a second vote regarding impeachment and the president That's never happened with the president. I don't believe, but the president is federal judges who are appointed for life. Um, who are then impeach many times because they've committed a crime had been convicted of the crime as as as part of the impeachment process. There's a second vote that the Senate takes, which says they can't hold office again and strips them of things like their pension and things of the like. So you could you could do that. Um down the road. I guess the question becomes talking about holding President Trump accountable If some people are saying it's his pension. I mean, it's not like he's been drawing. His salary has been doing any sour. I think all along, Jeff, you're all right. And here's This text is indicative of a percentage of the text on getting and it reinforces sort of the point that I've been trying to make about how we got to figure out ways I appreciate holding people accountable, but you also have to figure out ways to bring the country together. Jeff, your callers are delusional. Trump didn't do anything wrong. Um Also, I think they should impeach him. Just so the 1st 100 days of Biden are tied up with a Senate trial of Trump, which means that Joe Biden isn't going to get anything. Done. Okay, so that that's the other reality That's out there. You know, again in the real world, Jeff, you keep mentioning. Sensor has the Republicans in the Senate center agreed to the center action. Let Ron Johnson say that he will censure the president. I They have not taken since. There's not a censure resolution yet, but I'm willing to bet that if they put a censure resolution in both the House and the Senate You would have You would have 70 to 75% of both houses of Congress that would sign off on the center. At least that's my sense could be wrong, Jeff, I think Trump is going to pardon himself before impeachment proceedings occur. Okay, Well, um again, you can't pardon yourself. From the impeachment. You can pardon yourself and your family members for crimes and I will say, I will say this if if President Trump Were to start issuing blanket pardons for the people that were engaged in the criminal activity at the Capitol. I do think that's that's a different kind of conversation. And you know, if that happens, we'll be sure to tune in because that's a different sort of story. I think personally, and I said this last week. I think the best thing for the country would be for President Trump to resign and I stand. Some people are listening to say I'm never gonna listen to you again. Trump didn't do anything wrong. Well, regardless of whether or not you believe he committed a crime. Like I said, I think that's going to be Tough prosecution, regardless of whether or not you think he should be impeached. I think he's lost the moral authority to govern, and I think it would be in the best interests of everybody. The country The Republican Party, and probably President Trump himself for him to go quietly into the good night. That's not gonna happen. I understand it is a practical matter. It's not and I am a little bit concerned that in the last nine days he's going to start you know again, maybe considering things like blanket pardons, which would be absolutely appalling. I've been appalled at the number of people that he's pardoned already. And if he were to do something like that, I think that would certainly invite Criminal prosecution. Um, but that's tough as well. Bottom line is It's a mess, All right. I want to move on because There's another aspect of this that we've been kind of tiptoeing around my premises. Donald Trump as a political force is over. Sensor, not impeachment or not. Resignation or not, he's done now. A number of people are saying No, They don't think that that's the case. We're gonna discuss that in just a moment. Don't go anywhere. Jeff.
