i'm peter labelle . one didn't love polls, particularly when polls further a certain political agenda, but polling has a checkered history. as of late the last 2 election cycles tell us as much, should we put much stock into polling anymore. it's so then why i crossed talking the public mood. i'm joined by my guess, richard barrett's in gainesville. he is director of big data pole and in los angeles we have p e, and he is a strategic planning consultant and equity advisor, as well as an independent economic analyst. hard gentleman crosstalk rules and effect, that means you can jump in any time you want, and i would appreciate it. all right, let's go to richard 1st in gainesville, you're the master of polls. your polling is actually quite good. but your, your competitor, hers and your peers, are not nearly as up the snow, but before we talk about pulling richard in, you get the human touch, the, the touch of the public. here are we in a change environment right now, cuz people tend to change collections.

they want to live peter, they want it. well, i wouldn't say i would just say i was a sinner, drug people, people don't mind being lied to as long as it doesn't affect their overall way of life, their pocket book, their prestige, their status at work and within their industry. they know at some level that, that it's, it's a charade, but it's a charade that they're ban, wagging on because it's, it's a better quality of life than they'd have elsewhere. yeah, but i mean, why you're absolutely right because that's one of the things i mentioned the culture wars because you know, you can look at the co written house case and you can have an opinion on it. it may be even a strong opinion, but it doesn't change to material well being in this moment in time. but if we're talking about gas prices and you're a lower middle class blue collar worker, you may have an opinion on cow rittenhouse, but you have a really hard, strong vested interest in the, in the policy when it comes to energy that, that, and i think that's one of the discon

now peter, we hear about the diamond hands. they were a big deal in the middle of the crazy rhetoric you know, wanted you to hold on to stand strong on those stock. i mean, does the bottom eventually drop out or do they just hold it? and amc, for some reason, continues to be a stock that is way, way over value. both the diamond hands is all part of the height because the people who want to sell have to make sure that other people don't, because you don't want to be in competition with other sellers. so you have to convince everybody never sell, hold on forever. well, what are you holding onto? it's a company that doesn't have any earnings. it doesn't pay any dividends. you're holding nothing. you're holding air, you're holding hype. the smart money is dumpy, while those people with diamond hand have been caught in the holding on. every peter just wanted to follow up on that. i mean, i do, we talk about this regularly and i know we tend to talk to you occasionally about crypto. it's not necessarily a huge believer it, but is the

peter, you know some of the go ahead go ahead. yeah, i said some of the real winners were the bottom holder. there are a bunch of bottle, there's now we're going to get pennies on the dollar when the company went bankrupt . and now they get paid in full. i mean that was the thing is if you remember back in amc in last summer, so about july, august of 2020. there was a lot of talk about amc going bankrupt. obviously they got funding from other folks . but the fact was that was where they were, and this because doc craze happened now. now, peter, we hear about the diamond hands. they were a big deal in the middle of the crazy. the renters you know, wanted you to hold on to stand strong on those stock. i mean, does the bottom eventually drop out or do they just hold it? and amc for some reason continues to be a stock that is way, way over value. both the diamond hands is all part of the height because the people who want to sell have to make sure that other people don't, because you don't want to be in competition with other sellers.

i'm peter bell. this is the home addition to minute we're discussing site guys. ah. okay, let's go back to john in france. i'm gonna use another extended metaphor for our program here. you know, looking for the root origins of something is very, very difficult as academics, it's kind of, it's very important exercise. when you know, where are we at the way the way you see change going about are, are these tremors we're feeling right now? have we already had the earthquake, or are we feeling the aftershocks of origins? we could look at like briggs in the advent of trump. ok, because we seen so much reaction to both here because i'm trying to get a field where we're going that you can, you tipped your hand in the very beginning. the problem my saying is n times, which i think is a very good description, but i mean, is, are we going into a more massive change or we are feeling the after effects of a huge change. it's happened in the last, almost 24 months. i call it i call 202-020-2021 is the long 2020 i a lot of things have happened in that time, but it's the same as i

peter was very, very good. i believe that coven is a religion, the vaccine or boosters, whatever vaccine is the sacrament sound she is. the pope and the cdc is the vatican . and i'm trying to be a good i'm, i'm, i'm serious. this gives people something to believe in something to fear, a sense of belonging, who has the latest busher, who has the latest vaccine document in new york right now, people are running, running to, to vaccine testing site to see whether they have the a micron variant. which i heard is basically last. we are now in an endemic versus a pandemic. like nobody wants to hear the good news because they are so caught up in the almost sexual fetishistic titillation of fear and dread it. i'm not exaggerating. that wasn't meant to be a cute if the answer. i mean it, it, let me, let me go back to john. yeah. me, it would say the echo what you said an answer. your 1st question you, this is re put this, this melodrama that it's being played out. this is, this is a really poor thing. rule substitute fo

while we're got you on the screen, peter, that's a very good 2nd best. so you've been looking at the total party for many, many years. you have a season come loyal like this at the top, but the total poppy of this is just another cycle of totally at the capital until may seem warfare. this is different because it's a crisis i think wanting forces to remove this issue from johnson himself. disgraceful and, and heartless and wretched though he is. it's important to realize this is a crisis of the conservative party which has collapsed as a responsible civic organization and has been cut become the productive of donors and interest groups. and what he's really at stake here is no. reggie johnson who's finished by the way, he will go don't, don't have any doubts about that. but what happens next? but carpeted here, that little thing is happening now is, i mean, if we're talking about selling all those and pillage is i mean, stanley baldwin was up to his neck. when monday gregory was convicted all these years ago. the only person to be convicted of preventing

i'm peter lily. this is the home addition to remind you. we're discussing the public mood. ah okay, let's go back to richard in gainesville. i mean, if we look at the polling right now, i mean, one of the things that came to my mind is that would be look at the generic poll for a congressional our seats. i mean, i think we're seeing it's double digit now in favor of the republicans. do you think that the, if the, if they continue to beat this drum about the generic poll, that it will actually suppress republicans going out because it will be like the whole, you know, when hillary said, you know, everybody thought i was going to win. that's why they didn't vote for me. i mean is, is this, is there a danger for this? for the g o. p. you know, i think both parties have their own ways to suppress the vote with the republican party, the base. i think they're going to vote, i really do, peter, no matter what, they're weighted the press republicans is to tell them their vote. doesn't count a way to depress democrats to tell them they're going to win. that's the, that's the differe

peter, that's a very good 2nd best. so listen, you've been looking at the tory party for many, many years or have you ever seen tom oil light this at the top of the tory party of a says just another cycle of tallie at the terminal and only seen warfare. no, this is different because it's a crisis. i think it's quite important to remove this issue from johnson himself. disgraceful and, and hapless and wretched though he is, is important to realize this is a crisis on the conservative party which has collapsed as a responsible civic organization and has been can't become the products of.

peter, in your, in one of your questions, i think that's a very big problem. i think we all go up and buy by fools by chances, by opportunists, by people who come into power without having any real sense of the responsibilities . and these people have been taking the can down the road for a very long time. as we all know, all our states will, our countries are heavily indebted. and yet, the repayment is always, as i say, kicked down the line to all these things have been building up slightly under the surface. with this sudden explosion of totalitarianism. that's i think is, is a water said, because it shows the extent of all decline. it brings it into focus. it brings into focus the fact that what people want now is not freedom. they don't want, they don't want freedom. they don't want to be able to do what they want, at least not in a noble sense. they may want to have very sort of basic freedoms like to go to a restaurant. they don't want to freedom in any noble sense. instead, they are afraid of freedom. and that is the beginning of totalitarianism. it is

i'm peter labelle. how should we describe our times? what is the zeitgeist, as they say? do we have a sense of direction and purpose? we also hear a lot about the desire to return to normal. what does that mean? now? are we actually living in the new normal? ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york. he is a legal in media analyst. and in paris we crossed to john laughlin. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy, right, gentlemen. crosstalk rules that affect, that means you can jump in in time you want, and i always appreciate it. okay, let's start with john. what is our zeitgeist today? because it seems to me we're in a transition at our transistor, dora period right now. certainly we've left something behind. i have no idea where we're going, but i also have a difficult time describing where we are your thoughts? well, to be honest, it feels like wherein the end times pizza, because so much seems to be going wrong. both in internal politics across the world . and of course, in the international situation. it

george you some right that excellent peter. i think that's exactly what the russians saying, which is that we have been saying the same thing to you over and over again starting from 1991. when a go or assurances from the west of the west will not expand into space left. i believe the withdrawal so ok and you know, with complaint again and again the west is treated complaints with content and just say, you know, you lost the cold war, you know, then the brakes. and now that the geopolitical situation has changed very much in an adverse fashion. where was this so playing this game of coming up with these silly, legalistic arguments like, well, every country has the summer and right to decide its own security arrangement. and in any case we, we never promised you anything. and even if we didn't promise you anything, we didn't put it in writing. and in any case, there was a defensive alliance. how much it made span all the way to central asia. the chinese all is still a defensive alliance. and so coming up with this kind of nonsen

while what we've got you on the screen, peter, that's a very good 2nd bet. so you've been looking at the 2.

now, peter, you were right. it has gotten worse. do you think it's going to get even worse from here? oh, absolutely. you know what we're experiencing now is the tip of an inflation iceberg . there's a lot more beneath the surface and you know, when your own power all began using the term, transitory. i said at that time that he was incorrect, that maybe he was lying, that there is no way. it was transitory that it was here to stay. and that it was getting much worse. it took him a long time to finally acknowledge that the inflation is not transitory or though at this point, he's pretending he's going to do something about it. in reality, the feds going to do nothing but make it worse. and it almost like a power was actually saying, well, maybe trade story was the wrong word. let's find another word for temporary and that's what we'll say. but the fact is that claim was just justifying continued efforts to pump free money into the economy as the fed has done over and over and over again. what has been the effect of that, especially

i remember you actually my name's my name's peter. yes, johnny, who, who? hey. well, look, it's been a nova really hectic here. everybody around the world has not had any impact on the type of letters you've been receiving in what people have been asking for for presents. well, i can't go into the ins and outs of what individual people have asked for you understand data protection and all that. but that haven't been some definite trends like water, well, board games and video games pretty much anything that can entertain people in doors . chess, you send lots of chess, so at least people's i, q will be improving somewhat during pandemic, locked out. one of the things, some folk of note as well being locked inside is not so much that they need a little more help in the kitchen. is that they weld struggle to boylen egg. in fact, cookbooks have been high in demand and for some they can't arrive soon enough. you know exactly who you are. anything else? while we're on the sub the old food, some of us have overdone it a bit. in fact, some of us more than a bit and exe

peter all about joining us here with the breaking news. peter. the german chancellor has only been in office for a week so far. he's already got a dispute with russia on his hands. can you? can you talk us through what's happened? what do we know so far? well, a number of fronts where berlin and moscow on see an eye to eye at the moment, but this one emerging on wednesday as the, the front runner. in that case, it involves the sentencing on wednesday of a russian man to life in prison. for the murder of, of 40 year old zelman, hon gosh, really in 2019. he was shot dead in a park in the center of the german capital. now, the court in passing down that sentence on wednesday said that his killing had been at the behest of the russian state. this is something that moscow has vehemently denied continuously since the arrests were made back in 2019. we've heard from the russian foreign minister, so i think upon we've heard from the russian ambassador to berlin, a surgeon, a chai of who said that the evidence that had been presented in this case by the p

i'm peter lavelle. what is the national mood? i suppose it depends on what kind of media you consume to say the nation is divided in highly partisan is an understatement. this is certainly what the national media wants us to think, but are we really so divided on what really matters? crossing the public mood, i'm joined by my guess, martha barnett in palm beach. she is president.

perspective on the home button, topics that shaped this policy with the hungarian foreign minister peters, the arctic for our central europeans. it's extremely important that east and west that the united states and the russian federation have a direct and continuous dialogue. we are very happy with the fact that the 2 presidents spoke again for nato and there are sharp talk to each other and then there's a much bigger and better hope for any kind of common understanding and agreement about this part of the world. look, we really do consider the, the security situation of central europe as a crucial issue for us and anything that helps to resolve challenges here and ease tensions around the region service our interest. so that's why we are really interested in successful negotiations between nato and the russia at the beginning of next year. it is very easy for polish hands to finger point on one specific country on one specific person on one specific decision. in order to push responsibility away, the russian federation on the gas from have always been very reliable partners from hungary
