And today I would like to talk with you about how to book a hotel. But before we start. Is that anything in the news that you feel it has erased your attention at the moment, obviously, is how you cut it derided the insurrection or and or some some even go as far use the word coup attempt failed coup attempt of the US government, Merck interests, reminds us all that democracy is something that you have to fight for every day the sentence is not just a provost it's sentence that we have to fill with with with with everything we have left to defend democracy and put democracy with everything that's probably well, you know, everybody was starting a revolution belief that he is fighting for democracy, but in certain other listener know that we are recording this episode two days before the President-elect Joe Biden is going to be how do you say he is going to become president is the inauguration the inauguration and today I thing that I heard in the new third even the youth 20,000 members of the national guards was the name been left in our garden German with English expression. Now I am an American, a call in the National Guard. The National Guard isn't they are checked that biocide check the biography to avoid that one of them will take the president elect and turn. I think this is quite a very sad sign to see that the country that claims the right to pull itself the most powerful country in the world. The President of the United States is always said to be the most powerful person in the world but at the moment. It's really very sad to watch what's going on over that we have contact to people in the United States who can share their impression on me and it's only media that we receive feel we are not there. We don't have or the things life. Do you have any answers. I have some family members in the states. They live in its tri-state area in New York, but the country is so huge, so when something happens in one part of the country. It does not hit you or affect you as intensive as it would be if you would be let's say in Washington DC for this example, but I think even this this I don't know how to describe it happening event affected most of Americans either positively or negatively depends on which side you're on. And it's it's it's very terrible to bond with. So terrible to see a country that so many people so many countries look upon for hope and not making it too big. But it's it's it's it's quite a sad state of affairs this and people have to think about it, not to make it as big. Maybe it is as big as it as it is because we are getting into our nine not 1920s, but in our 20s. So this decade hundred years ago was quite defining for the next hundred years that followed after the 1920s saw. I think if we end with we I mean people that live in democracies and like to live in this kind of systems have to be very careful, very attentive to what is happening at the fringes of our systems because the extremes are getting stronger and stronger and we are not careful. The middle part where I think most people are is going to lose more and more ground and you don't have to be a student of history, but we know that the fringes are getting stronger. The medalists can weakened the metal skin weaker. The system is getting weaker so so just hope there was the part cost us and listen to abide by the audience. We would all know what has happened. If the inauguration was peaceful or if there was a riot or even something worse but still we are heading towards elections in Germany as well, and in one one author which wrote a book about Germany and German democracy. He said that we have to be very carefully in Germany as well because the Germans have never fought for the liberty after the war, the 88 no DV alive. How do you call me on the irritants. Let's analyze the their lives, their lives have given liberty and democracy to the German population. Maybe people in East Germany were fighting for their liberty but we are somehow in a kind of comfort zone. We never had to fight for our rights and never had to fight for liberty. And that's why the. The middle part of our parties. Send those people who were not in the right extreme or the left extreme, but in the middle. They simply seem to become more and more cataleptic and paralyzed and sleepy and passive, and this gives oil on the fire of the of the extreme wings, so we just have to take care and be attentive since arm of different opinion in this case, you said you stated that the gymnast and have to fight for the liberation for the freedoms and their rights and I think the Germans had to fight a lot for the freedoms and for the rights, just a quick run through history. For examples, the, the revolution of East Germany in East Germany. The woman suffrage in Germany and worker's rights or even if you want to go as far as back as when the monarchy fell and we, the system turned into democracy in the Weimar Republic. On the other hand, the Americans had the 1776 the independence where is the direct consequence of the Boston Boston tea party revolution so and there there wall with with the northern states in the southern states but other than that or Fox and obviously I'm the civil rights movement of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King was holiday celebrated today in the United States of America. And so, yes, these three instances, but they never had this kind of what we have in Georgia at the French edge of systems at the brink of breaking that and here in Germany we have had several times even in the past with the fall of East Germany subsidy. And with that having that in the history not knowing what that is, if you play with your system. The consequences of that is really something that I don't think there fully understand and I think if they had the benefit and of the German history with more than your history with the Holocaust and then the parting of the country into two countries they would they wouldn't have that think that the last two to destroy the system because if you watch American politics a bit. You kind of get the feeling that everybody hates to systems, but they don't know what the alternative is to the system. Normally if you topless system. The next few years of that terrible just have a look at the French Revolution after 1789. What happened in France for the next 20 years terrible. So I think we here in Germany or in Europe as large have that experience have a history so we own kind of easy play with our systems like they come off as attempting to do as it seems. Let's hope the best that intelligence will yeah win over emotions so that people realize where to get their information from whom to trust and whom to talk to and whom to give the vote in the end yeah so originally we want to talk about how to book a hotel. Now we have talked about how to book democracy, so this seems to be a very sad podcast episode, so I would like to to end this episode with something more positive. Can you share your favorite joke with us please record my favorite joke now you my blind spot. Item 1. So today we got stuck into into politics a little bit but never mind the thought is important. Thank you very much for being with us. Richard
