JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW
Co-host: Thaddeus McCotter, WJR, the Great Voice of the Great Lakes
 
Hour One
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 1, Block A:  Bill Roggio, Long War Journal and FDD; in re: Taliban attacks, sowing fear and chaos throughout Kabul, and other cities and provinces.
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 1, Block B:  Marissa Streit, PragerU CEO, in re: YouTube, and its invasions of content as it labels political videos of which it doesn't approve as “pornography”! Two court cases anent: State and Federal claims; Federal rests on the First Amendment. Is YouTube a Publisher? If not, then it's restricting free speech. State: breach of contract. We have over 500 videos on PragerU, and add some each week. After we filed the lawsuits and testified before Congress on this, an additional 100 videos went on the YouTube restricted list.  Google sees PragerU as a bunch of “Nazis” – and Dennis Prager is a Jew.
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 1, Block C:  Gordon Chang, Daily Beast, in re: Last week’s firebombing at the home of  Jimmy Lai, publisher of The Apple, Hong Kong newspaper, occurred an hour after the dinner guests (including Gordon Chang) had left.  A bunch of thugs on motorcycles threw bombs to kill Jimmy, one of the most prominent publishers in Asia. Seems that Mainland has stepped up its provocations. 
                  China is accumulating a lot of debt. No one knows what the real numbers are.
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 1, Block D: Michael Yon, go to Michael Yon on Facveook; in Hong Kong, in re: the demonstrations; the many flags being paraded by, with plenty of US flags. Playing The Star-Spangled Banner.  Make America Great Again caps, and Make Hong Kong Great Again signs.
       Hong Kongers are hyper-educated and supercivilized. Very open: Facebook, livestream via many platforms.  They’re calling Mainland:  Chin-Nazis.  Yesterday, protest at the US consulate.  Children in younger grades also quite active. In a little while, I’m to go to a secondary school and lecture to children on current politics. Mainland has lost this generation.
    There are about 38,000 police and two million protestors, out every day. The police are getting worn down.  Protestors with battery-operated megaphones play anti-police songs outside the precincts for hours, saying, in effect, You're traitors for not joining us. The Triads are Chinese mafia: videos of them attacking civilians.  
 
Hour Two
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 2, Block A:  David M Drucker, Washington Examiner, & John Fund, NRO, in re:  US politics, foci on Democratic candidates.
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 2, Block B:  Tim Kane, Hoover, in re: Inequality of incomes? We grew up poor and weren’t interested in that.  We thought a lot about poverty, not inequality. . . . The water-diamond paradox. 
Monday 4 February 2019/ Hour 2, Block C: Malcolm Hoenlein, Conference of Presidents, in re: Iran enriches more than 300 kg of uranium and throws away the JCPOA, which it’s been demanding that the Europeans resuscitate.  Iran’s Atomic Energy Association is announcing these measures.  . . .
Monday 4 February 2019 / Hour 2, Block D: Indiana Hoenlein, Conference of Presidents, in re: A clay seal that brings history to light: Names are printed, and in decoding we see a great deal.  Seventh Century BC, a letter sent by the highest minister, perhaps on behalf of the king. Hermitage in St Petersburg has an exhibit of a Ninth-to-Eleventh Centuries Jewish community. The Afghan ganiza (a storage repository for disused sacred texts).
