mepage. So I'm looking at how much real estate is devoted to each kind of topic. Then there's a whole bunch of stuff about how this Justin Amash is talking about impeachment. There isn't going to be any. That's a big story. It's about some person is against the president but it doesn't really matter because the Republicans have too much control in the Senate. It's a story without a story. It's a s…
← Previous segment →of Mark Schneider who's been the primary advocate about the newer nuclear technologies. You've seen us talk all the time. Many of you have helped to boost that message. You've helped me boost it on Twitter. You boosted on Periscope. Do you think that our collective boosting of that message about the newer technologies of nuclear stuff, do you think that that message got through to AOC? We don't know. Well what do you think? Yeah I'm gonna watch your messages for a while because I'm not gonna pat myself on the back until I have agreement. Do you think that message got through? Probably. I'm seeing yeses. Alright that's enough. Yeses. We can't confirm this but here's what we do know. And ready. We do know we did the right thing. We boosted the right message and the right people received the message. I'm sure other people got to them. I'm sure that we're not the only force but we were one of them. Get ready. Pat yourself on the back. Good job. Good job.
Now and I'm gonna say this again. There is no way for us to know if anything that we did collectively or individually made a difference. We don't know that. But it sure looks like it did. And at the very least we were part of a collective group that were sending a similar message. So at the very least we were part of boosting the message. So look at this model. And I've said this before that social media to a large extent is the government because you saw that the government was out of tune. I think that's actually a really good way to put it. I'm gonna go with this analogy. It seemed like the government was out of tune. Meaning that they didn't even seem to have a disagreement. There wasn't really a disagreement on nuclear. It was more like one side was ignoring it or maybe wasn't quite up to date. Don't know exactly what was going on but it was attitude. There was an obvious solution or at least a path forward for this Green New Deal and for climate risk and the government seemed to be missing the obvious. They were just one step off. They were so close to being on the right path but it just some wiggle in the system. And I feel as though social media allowed the public to fine-tune the government and to get them at least saying, "Oh yeah that does need to be part of the conversation." So AOC, you said it now needs to be part of the conversation. And of course people on the right have already been there. And then you've got people who are respected the most such as Bill Gates. The reason I respect him the most is because it's obvious that his intentions are all in the positive direction. He does the work. He's brilliant and he's not political. He does not align with any side. Alright so Bill Gates is still probably my number one role model in the world. So that's all good news.
Let's talk about this. This seems like this should be the biggest story in the world but isn't. I say that a lot but let me develop this point a little bit. So we know now that apparently Comey wrote in an email that inclu

ded his upper echelon staff. Dude that apparently according to Comey in an email, so this was back in the beginnings of the investigation about Russia collusion. So Comey had an email that Brennan insisted the dossier be included in the Intel assessment. To which I say to myself how do you interpret that? Brennan would know. It seems to me, you know, can't read his mind but common sense tells you…
