Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" in 1945, and the book was meant to be a warning about totalitarian systems like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, but they are not meant to be instruction manuals.

"

Orwell really warned about this about 100 years ago, right when he wrote "Animal Farm" in 1984, and he based those books are warnings. They're based on the totalitarian systems of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.

And yet here we are. So what they do in this Orwellian twist is they completely upend the narrative and they completely upend the language. This is what all dictatorships do.

It was mentioned as a book that helped Yeonmi understand the totalitarian system in her home country and the lies she had been told as a child.

"

It took time it to me trusting what that meant was reading George Orwell's Animal Farm. That helped me to understand what happened to my country, what happened to my myself, why the country became that way.

I do think it's... I haven't seen this particular film, let me just say that.

"

Kamala Harris is a brat according to Gen Z. It's all over the internet and she's completely remaking herself as you just described as a wine mom.

She's the Megan Markle of the administration. People can't work for her. She's a nightmare.

The story I'm really working on is the massive shift in her original campaign staff. There's only about four people left from her original campaign staff in 2021. It's been a complete blender, not a real, not revolving door anymore. It's like a blender and staffers have been fleeting in droves.

You know, they, they remind, they recall her as being a bully and someone who is mean, mean spirited, making all kinds of comments about, you know, how they appear, how they look, their love life.

She's not wine mom. She's like the nasty mom who doesn't get invited to the events because no one wants to be around her because she's got a bad demeanor behind the scenes.

Episode: Truth About Kamala Harris's Rise and Relationships...

It was discussed in detail, covering Kamala Harris's rise to Vice President, her relationships with Joe and Jill Biden, and her peculiar communication style. It also revealed her questionable staff retention rate.

And I read the book overnight and thought, wow, this is just amazing.

And I do, I still have that copy of the book, which I had all the cast signed at the time.

And read it and thinking, my goodness, this is just amazing. This chocolate room and the illustrations, which, you know, everybody will hopefully will remember Quentin Blake's illustrations, which are so wonderful.

If you read the book alongside it, which I have done recently, I read it during lockdown. You'll see that lots of the script is lifted from the book so you can see the kind of Roald Dahl bit.

It's a very lonely process to write a book.

It was a very hard process really to chronicle everything that we've been through from the campaign all the way through the end of the administration.

I felt like the media did not either. They didn't try very hard or they didn't have the right access, but they really misjudged a lot of what was happening in the White House.

I never saw it as about left versus right. I saw it as about outside versus in.

"

And the name of her book is Say More Lessons from Work, the White House and the World.

The president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended.

She also writes that Biden's critics were engaged in, quote, misinformation and used the image to make him appear insensitive, concerned only about how much time had passed.

She put it in her book, which she then read in audio form.

The detail in a few lines of the book about the exact number of times he looked at his watch will be removed in future reprints about the ebook.

Episode: Jen Psaki Caught Lying About Biden, and Michael Co...

Jen Psaki's book, "Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World" was criticized for inaccuracies in describing President Biden's actions at Andrews Air Force Base when the remains of fallen soldiers in Afghanistan were returned. Specifically, Psaki falsely claimed that Biden checked his watch after the ceremony, not during it. Her account was contradicted by photos from the ceremony, statements from Gold Star families, and fact checks at the time.

"

The president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended. Moments later, he and the first lady headed toward their car.

While I stood there on the tarmac watching you check your watch over and over again, all I wanted to do was shout out, it's 2 fucking 30, asshole. But out of respect to the other grieving families, I bit my tongue once again.

I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit.

I've always been boy crazy. I remember pulling up my skirt in second grade and showing the boys my underpants. Hyper sexualized at a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested? I think so. I can't remember specifics, but I do remember trauma. I remember not liking the name of some unknown last name house, their house. I remember somewhat being sexualized with Caroline. I remember having sex with friends at a young age, showers with my dad, probably not appropriate being turned on when I wasn't supposed to be.

The president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended.

Episode: Real COVID Risk to Kids and Biden's Lagging Leader...

David Wallace-Wells, the author, was interviewed and discussed the real COVID risk to children and the need to rethink COVID safety protocols, especially for children.

"

The age skew of the disease hasn't changed. And that's not to say that kids are at absolutely no risk. It's just that compared to the population as a whole, they face a vanishingly small chance of severe illness and really mortality.

Personally, I actually, I do think the vaccinating case is a good idea. I think we need to do what we can to sort of slow the spread. And I think the risks are quite small.

But I think that when we think about the sorts of risks that our children are facing, we should really understand that almost all of it is in our heads.

In total, in the American pandemic, we've got something like 800 children, which is to say people under the age of 18 and not true children, 800 people under the age of 18 who've died from COVID.

That's not nothing. Each of those deaths is a tragedy. But as a country, we're facing 800,000 deaths. And I think that gives you just a sense of, you know, the relatively small risk faced by, by, you know, all the kids in our in our lives.

Those who lack the courage of their convictions will be threatened by yours. Those who lack confidence will consider you arrogant for having it. And most of all, those who are desperate to fit in will hate and secretly admire you for standing out.
