I play too hard when I ought to go to sleep they pick on me because I really got the beat. some people give me the creeps

every other week I need a new address landlord landlord, landlord cleaning up the mess our whole deleted life is a wreck we’re desperate get used to it we’re desperate get used to it we’re desperate get used to it it’s kiss or kill

sometimes you eat more than you should and when it’s spicy besides mamma mia do you need alka-seltzer alka-seltzer can help unstuff you relieve the acid indigestion and help make you your old self again mamma mia that’s a spicy meatball

are inside statuary hall right now you see the statues this is a moment I never saw in my life these individuals just rushed through security they are inside statuary hall this is a legendary a legendary place uh where all of us uh covered capitol hill it’s hard to believe what we’re seeing right there they’re just walking through. Where are capital police? uh it’s it’s a strange it’s an awful situation they’re having a good time in statuary hall jake tapper I don’t know about you but this is an incredibly dangerous situation that’s unfolding here in the United States it’s uh stunning Wolf it’s absolutely stunning and it’s quite frankly dangerous President Trump could stop this with one tweet but instead he’s on Twitter attacking Vice President Pence for refusing to go along with his attempt at a coup at a bloodless coup we hope it stays bloodless uh and you have protesters accosting senators you have people uh members of congress being evacuated because of bomb threats you have protesters right outside the senate chamber it is a very potentially dangerous situation i’ve been in washington uh for decades now i’ve never seen anything like this and again President Trump if he wanted to and there is really no reason to think he wants to he could stop this he could stop it with one tweet and he will not because frankly he likes this as by not by not discouraging what we are seeing the president is encouraging what we are seeing just as he has in a much more overt way over and over and over again uh with his tweets completely irresponsible and this is the result of that

Apathy: the feeling of not having much emotion or interest

in fear every day every evening he calls her aloud from above carefully watched for a reason painstaking devotion and love surrendered to self-preservation from others who care for themselves a blindness that touches perfection but hurts just like anything else isolation

isolation

isolation

unfortunately as unusual and as terrifying and as um surprising as what we are seeing is going on in a lot of ways it is one of the least surprising things what is what is remarkable is that this hasn’t this kind of thing hasn’t happened earlier because that these uh protesters who of course have the right to protest um but this is beyond that as john said this is basically this is basically taking over storming the capital

it’s anarchy it really is anarchy and the president has encouraged this time and time again and they are stopping the constitutional peaceful transfer of power i want to bring in pamela brown who has some more breaking news about the security

the issues at the united states capital uh which has now been stormed uh by hundreds of trump supporters who have been fed the lie for months by the president and others that the election uh was fraudulent it was not but they are angry they are upset and now there is a very real risk of violence pamela absolutely i’ve spoken to several sources jake who tell me that the situation is getting out of control that it is has turned insane frankly and that other law enforcement has been asked to help by capitol police they have been reaching out to federal authorities and local authorities asking them to come to help i’m told by a local law enforcement source that the mpd civil disturbance unit personnel they have been deployed there to the capitol building to help other federal authorities have been called to help and another issue they’re dealing with are there several suspicious packages around the building i’m told that the capitol police are looking at uh they are examining these suspicious packages we know we’ve already reported that we have heard flashbangs there i’m also showing a source on the ground that pepper spray has been deployed and so forth so there are multiple security situations going on as we are seeing this unfold there in real time this remarkable unprecedented situation at the capitol building

definition of sedition is to try to overturn the rule of law uh through force and that is what we are witnessing trump supporters who have been lied to by trump and his minions individuals like ted cruz and josh hawley lied to by naga media have been incensed and outraged and they are now uh resorting to resorting to to physically trying to storm the capital to stop the constitutional process of isolation

isolation

isolation electors being counted for the person who won the election joe biden the president’s elect that is what’s going on that is what we are witnessing and there are a lot of people who are complicit in this it will not succeed joe biden will be sworn in on january 20th but at one at some point you have to ask yourself if you’re josh hall or ted cruz or matt gates or either of the murdochs you have to ask yourself what am i doing wake up people what am i creating here what have i unleashed this is the united states of america and we’re watching protesters try to undermine the course of an election isolation

isolation

isolation a constitutional process through force by storming the united states capital look at that that is outside jake i’m sorry to interrupt but look at those pictures have you ever seen anything like that i mean these these are protesters outside on the steps of the capitol they’re physically in there well it’s a fitting end to an era that has been characterized by lawlessness that president trump the reason this is happening is because president trump wanted vice president pence to act in a lawless way in his procedural duties today and now his supporters in their anger are basically breaking into the capital forcing members of congress to go into hiding uh because they’ve been as you said jake fed lives i apologize for interrupting have you i just want to say the mayor of washington dc mayor muriel bowser is now ordering a 6 p.m curfew in washington d.c because of these protests which have turned violent individuals mother i tried please believe me i’m doing the best that i can i’m ashamed of the things that i’ve been put through i’m ashamed of the person i am

individuals who have been fed lines as you noted now storming the capital to try to stop the constitutional process please continue i’m sorry clear president trump has tweeted in the last few minutes but he has said nothing to disavow this no he’s thrown down before the violence exactly in fact he has been upping the rhetoric against mike pence uh and that is irresponsible irresponsible he has a responsibility these are his supporters they’re carrying trump flags so he could say to them stop back away don’t do this and he won’t do it wake up people watching an attempted sedition we are watching watching an attempt at a bloodless coup in the united states trump supporters stopping the constitutional process the counting of electors the mayor has invoked the 6pm curfew more police reinforcements are coming to capitol hill let’s go now to brian todd who was on the scene brian where are you and what do you see

isolation

isolation

isolation uh jake we’re on the east side of the capital the east front the east steps and you see all that huge group of protesters on the steps you can also see some capitol hill police on the balcony to the side they don’t appear to have the numbers to deal with this right now but they’re donning riot gear we saw some smoke deployed you’re not sure exactly how that started but you can see the capital there’s some capitol hill police up there uh probably awaiting orders on what to do and we are told that there are reinforcements coming uh from different law enforcement up here but they are not here yet i can tell you that there was a group of dc police at 20 or so that showed up here a short time ago went around the side of the building and we believe went inside but we’re not sure but clearly as far as the police that we’re seeing up there on that balcony they are not moving they’re observing right now they’ve gone some riot gear and uh they have not moved yet to move these protesters up the steps i can but if you could just see the beauty these things i could never describe these pleasures a wayward distraction this is my one lucky prize i can uh let’s have christine our photojournalist oh you got some cheers going up here i was going to show you another set of steps let’s see what’s happening here not sure what started the cheering but

clearly it’s you know this has gotten out of hand these protesters got up the steps they breached they’ve reached the uh the barricades more than an hour ago got up the steps got in some of them got inside and we did see a large group of metropolitan washington police go inside the building we believe so they may be trying to deal with that from the inside first before they move out here but they have not shown up in huge numbers at this closet yet we also know that on the west side of the capitol it’s very very tense with a lot of flash bangs going on protesters breached the barricades there some of them climbed up on these risers that were set up for the inauguration

a word from our sponsor you are listening to radio tipping point and our show is called wake up people we are just waiting to see when law enforcement shows up in what kind of numbers because right now i can tell you they don’t have the numbers here to deal with this crowd all right alex markvard is also uh on the scene and i’m getting texts as i’m sure dana and abby are as well from members of congress trump supporters biden supporters democrats republicans who are stunned they have been told by capitol police they have to shelter in place in their office is the is it because of a terrorist attack on the united states it’s because trump supporters are violently in some cases forcing themselves into the united states capital stopping the constitutional proceedings of the counting of the electoral votes for joe biden the president-elect

what’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of retail nightmares united retail nightmares we take a look at the worst black friday moments of all time black friday brings out the worst customers that i’ve ever seen so let’s jump right into it okay so inside of this tesco a very busy crowd has gathered a round while the employees take a pallet of tvs out to them they then have to unpack the pallet of tv so the customers can take them singularly and that’s when all hell ensues as soon as the tvs are ready for taking there is a hundred customers who want the item but there is a very limited amount of tvs to be had this led to a big altercation over multiple customers trying to grab one tv and it was even thrown around the ground and possibly even broken from all of the customers in an attempt to get it for themselves let’s have a look

isolation

isolation isolation

with me no more foreign holidays less dining out and fewer household appliances

it was almost black friday and a big line had formed outside of this walmart’s anticipating opening just before the opening for the black friday sales this gentleman had cut in front of the line because apparently he knew some people at the front this was a big issue for pretty much everybody in the line and just because you know somebody doesn’t mean you should be able to cut in front of everyone else to go and stand with them when this gentleman was called out for cutting in line he got very aggressive towards everybody and said if they had a problem with that they should do something about it as he got in their faces the crowd were anything but intimidated though and they had obviously been waiting for a very long time so tensions were already brewing between everybody in this situation and this gentleman thought he was more entitled to be cutting in line because he only wanted to get one item which is pretty much the case for everybody there let’s have a look

isolation

isolation

isolation so understand that i’m not getting out of this

i’m not

okay so some shoppers we’re waiting outside for this store to open so that they could all run into gather and get some good deals on some items the thing is though there was only a limited amount of items and this lady ran over and knocked everything on the ground and couldn’t actually get one for herself this lady was so desperate to get a good deal on an item that she actually saw a kid had picked up one of the items she wanted and literally snatches it out of his hands for herself let’s have a look

that’s right as you can see here this customer literally snatches this item out of this mother’s son’s hands okay so a very similar toilet paper crisis had happened at another shop and basically a customer was very upset because apparently they got less toilet paper than another customer the customer that got less than the others were to complain about the situation and the worker at this supermarket lashed out at everybody which created an all-out war the employee and the customer started screaming at each other’s throats and even going as far as to threaten each other too they started abusing each other as well as threatening to call the authorities as they were very upset about the situation and the customer felt like it wasn’t fair that he got less than the other customers let’s have a look

this will also mean fewer Christmas presents anyone who visited a black friday sale this year

in vienna or elsewhere would be quickly disabused of the notion that such a dramatic shift was on the cards

is

are we having fun yet okay so in australia there was a toilet paper shortage basically nobody could get their hands on some toilet paper and when it was finally restocked everybody fought to get their hands on it this created a huge outrage across australia and some very crazy moments as you can see in this first clip these ladies got their hands on a few packets of toilet paper but decided to get a little bit greedy when they went for more they took the last roll of toilet paper away from somebody who didn’t have any and this really upset her this lady tried to take a packet of toilet paper away from them but this only led to a huge confrontation this was one of the defining moments that led australia to have a limit on how many rolls of toilet paper you can purchase and this moment actually led to a huge fight ensuing which i obviously can’t show so let’s have a look

wake up people

i need everyone to

isolation

isolation

isolation

adrian i dream

okay so this lady was at a toys r us and i believe she tried to reserve an item during a black friday sale which you obviously can’t do as it’s first come first serve the item was then sold out and this lady decided to take her anger out on the employee when she gets in his face and starts threatening him this lady starts abusing him for something that’s completely out of his control he literally just stocks the shelves and scans customers items and was left with no choice but to take all of this abuse from this karen who didn’t get her away during a black friday sale at toys r us have a look wake up people

25 years ago and i’m here

actually went to the store and bought literally every roll of toilet paper hand sanitizer paper towels and other things like that there wasn’t a policy at the time that would prevent people from buying literally everything and as there was a higher demand for this stuff this carrot couple took it upon themselves to price gouge literally everything by buying everything in the store only to resell it for more money this lady found out what they were doing and confronted them but this current couple genuinely didn’t care that they were being exposed for what they were doing they would literally just try to price gouge these needed items which is actually illegal and you can’t do that in america let’s have a look hi yeah look look at this wonderful woman who just told me to go f myself and my my own fm business who just bought the entire store of paper towels toilet paper so that nobody else can have any it’s really lovely and i wish i had gotten her earlier when she was telling me to go up myself and mind my own effing business but now she’s being all calm because she knows she’s gonna be on everywhere yeah this is nice

and let’s move on to part two

psychological safety so you have formed your team and you all feel empowered or so you think you go around the table and ask each individual member just wanted to check you feel empowered right and each one on your team nods her head in approval and you leave that session with a warm fuzzy feeling thinking that everyone is doing great what a mess psychological safety refers to a condition when each member of the team regardless of what their tasks are truly feel empowered to say those uncomfortable things that will send the meeting into disarray some people by nature will give you their opinion regardless of whether their opinion was solicited others will never tell you their true feelings it doesn’t matter how often you ask let’s go ahead and concentrate on the latter group what is one to do for starters it’s worthwhile to find out in which atmosphere each individual member feels comfortable maybe the conversation needs to take place outside of the group environment like a restaurant or a cafe others might prefer to provide you with their feedback and writing don’t laugh i used to have an employee who would send me extremely frank emails but he would never dare tell me such thoughts in person even if you are not in charge of the team empowerment means you care enough about the success and make the effort to ensure that psychological safety is extended to everyone a number of years ago i was an attendee at a conference my employer at the time held there were a number of interesting topics being discussed and i have this uncanny habit of always having some sort of question what can i say i’m an inquisitive person we had reached the end of the day and our regional president was supposed to explain to us what we called back then our e-commerce strategy sounds quaint today doesn’t it well he got up and started talking about a number of different things but not about what we were there waiting for because i had opened my mouth the entire day i thought i would keep my mouth shut for a change after his speech someone raised his hand and asked a question that sounded like nagnag and i thought i couldn’t leave the last word to that guy so i raised my hand and mentioned that we had heard a number of great presentations the whole day but one thing was still not quite clear to me why were we here and what was our goal you could probably guess that this regional president was not especially enthralled to get my question and you could read it on his face the conference was being held by our i.t department and so the regional president tried to redirect the question to the head of i.t who understood very well what i meant and lobbed the question back there was a silence in the room and then the regional president spit out some verbal gobblyguck just to get past the embarrassing moment and there was silence again

it might have been for 30 seconds but it seemed like it went on for hours thank goodness someone else asked some easy question to answer and the excruciating ordeal was over or was it as soon as we left the hall and there had to have been about a good 250 people there i was inundated with comments like great question and you asked what everybody was thinking about that moment ended up being a career changer for me it was never part of my plan and it could have been a complete disaster what had the situation looked like if everyone had felt empowered in reality a number of people there did feel empowered i saw it in the way that they did their work they just didn’t feel comfortable telling their employer he was wearing no clothes especially telling him in front of 250 other people call me a risk taker psychological safety means you are able to allow the team members to show their empowerment in their own way so take the time to find out what makes them tick this is looking at inside and now a page from our sunday morning february 21st 1931 79 years ago today today the market for over-the-counter medications literally bubbled over that was the day miles laboratories introduced a new antacid product called alka-seltzer a mix of aspirin bicarbonate of soda and citric acid burst into bubbles when plopped into water alka-seltzer was an immediate hit becoming both a popular remedy and a pop culture icon for relief of upset stomach alcohol sir beginning in 1951 alka seltzer’s tv spokes puppet speedy sang and danced his way through countless

some commercials to be followed in the 1970s by human actors in a number of ads including one that may just be the most famous tv commercial of all i can’t believe i ate that whole thing you ate it ralph i can’t believe i ate that whole thing no ralph i ate it i can’t believe i hate that all things hate to alka seltzer so memorable was the campaign that alka alka-seltzer reprised it in 2005 with a subtle mod to the original i can’t believe i ate that whole thing oh where have i heard that before these days alka-seltzer is made by bayer and it has mutated from the original tablets into a whole array of products still the basic idea survives open package plop in tablets watch the fish isolation

isolation learned helplessness have you caught yourself lately saying i can’t do that or i don’t know how to do that if so then you are a victim of conditioning called learned helplessness this condition and it’s truly based on conditioning basically means that you think that’s the way it is and you can’t do anything about it imagine a horse that is tied to a tiny chair and remains stationary is the horse truly bound by the small chair physically clearly not could you imagine the horse being mentally paralyzed into thinking that it has no options we as human beings have an unfortunate mastery of learned helplessness the term was coined and defined by martin seligman from the university of pennsylvania in the 1960s and his experiments dealt with shock treatment on dogs showing that the fear of another shock stopped them from attempting to overcome a situation they could clearly master otherwise is the aversion always derived from an electric shock perhaps we have created some deterrence that is far worse here are some examples of some that we still unfortunately believe today girls are poor in math and science this statement is not based on any evidence but is a hundred percent fake news let’s follow the destruction this fallacy brings a young girl is born and the conditioning countdown has begun these are activities that girls do so go to it it’s okay if you struggle with mathematics you are not expected to do well anyway the destruction has only begun now the girl has entered high school and is expected to focus on the specialty in some fashion well math and science were eliminated at an early age so no sense in looking in that direction let’s say you are a young lady who wants to buck the trend then the message is she is good in math in spite of her being a girl the stigma grows like a tumor let’s stay with the feminine recalcitrant she continues to university and plans to graduate in mathematics then the questions arise like what she accepted because of an affirmative action just when you think we have hit the pinnacle of destruction wait till this young lady enters the epitome of chauvinism the workplace who has the strength to overcome all of these obstacles now this example was a tad extreme but let’s go back to the example with the horse and the chair can you envision yourself being that horse not trusting yourself to master some activity which in actuality is very easy to achieve you can’t see yourself properly accomplishing these tasks and this is the problem unless you are able to allow yourself to relish in the success you will not be able to overcome the conditioning does the same condition apply to groups in our society due to some form of learned helplessness i will let you answer this question all on your own wake up people

people say we got it made don’t they know we’re so afraid isolation we’re afraid to be alone everybody got to have a home isolation just a boy and a little girl trying to change the whole wide world

isolation the world is just a little town everybody’s trying to put us down isolation

i don’t expect you to understand and you’ve caused so much pain but then again you’re not to blame you’re just a human a victim of the insane we’re afraid of everyone afraid of the sun isolated the sun will never disappear but the world may not have many years

isolation

as we exit 2021 we hear of things

we cannot stop

is

our whole deleted life is a

wreck

we’re desperate get used to it we’re desperate get used to it we’re desperate get used to it

you’re good

is

you

apathy the feeling of not having much emotion or interest

anxiety fear or nervousness about what might happen so

that would mean no more foreign holidays less dining out and fewer household appliances it would also mean fewer christmas presents

could a truly great resignation ever emerge

it would probably require more radical cultural changes

households would need to decide almost that their future consumption needs and the income needed to fulfill them were substantially lower
