A Trump's a creep. Adam curry John C. Devorah. It's
Thursday, May 17 2018. This is your award winning game on Asian
media assassination episode 1034. This
is no agenda tracking Furbabies
and phone zombies and broadcasting live from the
capitalism drone star stay here in downtown Austin. Hey, how's
the colonial in the morning, everybody?
I'm Adam curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we all know
that you have a roll of quarters in your fist if you get into a
fight and just see Devorah Raglan buzzkill
Yes, an old classic. If you can still find a roll of quarters
anywhere,
give them the bank
who has rolls of quarters laying around? Nobody?
No no laying around you should nickels also kind of work.
You have a roll of quarters just in case you get into a fistfight
and one in each pocket.
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket? You go oh ma'am. We
went into collective insanity overdrive with a Janee. LAUREL
thing.
Oh, my ID I you know, I if you notice my clipless there's no
mention of it. Yeah, I had to wasn't gonna be the one I had to
mention it because i By the way, the dress was white and gold.
Yeah,
blue and purple. Whatever it was. I want to know who did
this. That's what that's what it is, as is not a part of any
reporting. Who did it.
Know it is a part of the reporting. In fact, our local
local station and I think I've heard it, they talked about that
the guy they're trying to track this guy down or woman down and
they can't do it. They don't know who it is, but it is part
of the reporting. Oh, okay.
Well, so we don't know who it is no. Mystery. Well, these are two
computer synthesized voices and you hear different versions of
the either Laurel or Yanni based upon the device, you're
listening to your own hearing range, and a whole bunch of
different things. And I have a little filter setup. I just want
to demonstrate. I'm going to filter lows, mids highs in and
out, move it back and forth and you will hear the two different
names Laurel. Laurel, I'm hearing Laurel now.
Yeah, of course. That's because that's what you hear.
I can already hear it. You can hear you can hear the two mixed
together. Yeah. Yeah. This is the point. Yeah. Not everybody
knows this. Almost done. Yeah. So you probably would have heard
Yanni and Laurel at one point on the
record exactly what you heard because that's what did your hip
playing? Yeah. But now they show some examples. And I think
they're pretty rare of someone to people listen to the exact
same feed and getting to different things that I've I
guess there's some in between moment there were that's a
possibility. But generally speaking, this is a function of
the frequencies. Yeah.
So what So why is this a big deal? It's not, but I just
wanted to
slow things down to or play it backwards and hear the devil.
You've done that a number of times. Yes, exactly.
So I just wanted to give some sanity because everyone I mean,
I was accused of being a liar in my own house.
What? Yes. Okay, now this is the story.
Tina, Tina's daughter. She's with us for the
SAR they heal bot.
Oh, no, she's not a robot. It's no that's the other one. Know,
neither of them are Hill bots. But it was you know, she was
very surprised to know you're just lying to me.
Oh, but what? Yes, she says you lying to her about what?
Because I said I hear this and she said no, I hear this you
need to have that can't be true. It's ripping the fabric of our
of our culture apart. Okay. Dumb. Damn Yanny Laurel. At
least we got a nice little news cycle out of it.
But it was brought up on the NBC Nightly News I believe in some
other these big reports and it was just annoying. I find it was
like brothers way it was worse than the dress thing. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, done. Just change the frequencies. Although it is kind
of you might be able to use that to to put stuff into people's
ears. Yeah, have have a different frequency. Donate to
no agenda, Donate. Donate to no agenda. It can be done
to donate to no agenda.
I prefer the catchy tunes myself. I agree.
Yeah, they work. He gets your ear warm.
Oh, all right. Well, we have to start off with the good news as
my quest to end this is continuing.
Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. American Airlines is getting
stricter about emotional support animals yes are the creatures
that provide comfort to people suffering from extreme anger.
xiety Now passengers traveling with support animals will have
to fill out paperwork 48 hours in advance and the airline is
going to double check notes from doctors. Some animals are now
totally banned. No insects, goats, hedgehogs, ferrets,
spiders, chickens or hawks, or any animal that smells miniature
horses are apparently still running emission.
Any animal that smells that's the criteria? Oh, yeah. Good.
That's all you win. Yeah. While I'm waiting, how
did you see the video though YouTube video that came out with
this kid, you know, decides to get a service animal and he
decides to feign a heart attack. Yeah. And the dog starts to open
his head.
Why does that never happen on the plane? That would be
entertainment that I would be okay with. Yeah, so I beuliss.
Well, the fur babies are definitely having the US births
have hit the lowest since 1987. I don't know if that's
significant or not, but I thought it was. It was a sigh
years there. What is it? 30. Year 30 years. A cycle? Yeah,
it goes up goes down. Yeah,
well, where's the dog cycle? How do those two where's the Venn
diagram? How do those two intersect? You get
to do your own cycle analysis.
I also read and this was odd. Maybe it's related. And I
personally I think it's a native ad for some pharmacy. This is in
the UK, but it is from C. It is from their health and science
editor. Martin Baggett, health and science correspondent. Half
the men half of all men I guess in the UK in their 30s struggle
to get an erection 49% Blame stress 24% Blame boozing too
much. So nearly half as 43% of men aged 18 to 60. across the UK
are suffering impotence four in 10 Men blaming stress,
tiredness, anxiety, and then the the moving to heavy.
Wow. That's all new. Well, it's never happened in the history of
America. Well, this is UK blaming the women.
Oh, okay. Yeah, do tell.
No, it's just it. I mean, you know,
you just blame the women.
Okay, yeah, it's it's, it's easier. Okay.
Well, maybe I should just play this little clip from Jordan
Peterson quickie 46 seconds, kind of sets the frame for
everything we're dealing with. And it's in a way kind of
related to Yanni and Laurel, but not really more the fallout from
it.
One of the things that I've come to understand about political
arguments is, well, let's say people say, well, they, you
know, the, the person on the other side of the ideological
continuum has different opinions than I do. It's like, no, they
don't, or maybe they do, but they don't see the same facts.
Because the filter they use to select from among the infinite
number of available facts, preferentially presents them
with the facts that are relevant to them. And that's already
built into their ethic. And so one of the horrible things about
political discussions is that you're actually having a
discussion about what the facts are. You say, Well, the facts
are the same for everyone. It's like, yeah, it's like saying, I
have an infinite library of books. And you can come into it.
It's like, well, you're going to pick out the same book, it seems
highly improbable.
And I think there's an element of truth to that.
If I can just pick a fact that you're not sure. Actually, what
he said was oh, and he says,
there are so many facts. We'll take Trump, for example, there's
so many facts about let's just here's an easy one, ZTE. And the
only reason why that story kind of stuck out for me is because I
got a ZTE phone, you know, to try it as an OTG phone failed
miserably. But it's a Chinese piece of junk. And so that
company was out of you know, you couldn't I guess they couldn't
export any phones, because there was some technology that had
been passed on or stolen. It's kind of irrelevant to the story.
So I'm not know ZTE phones in America. And then the President
comes back and says, Oh, we got to change this. This is Bob
jobs. We can't be screwing these China's this way. And the if you
take that fact, with another fact that the Chinese are
funding some huge project of which there will also be a $500
million Trump hotel. I doubt that the Trump Organization is
building it but so people immediately take those facts
connected. Occam's Razor say Oh, it's a pretty quid pro quo. That
he he's getting 500 million for his building because that's what
he needs. Of course, that's what he's all about. Then that's
always gonna give something back by letting ZTE you know trying
to fix the ZTE problem. That's just picking some facts and
turning it into your truth and it's happening. That's the story
that's real.
And, yeah,
all right, I'm sold.
All right. Now we go to and I'm glad I was more I'm glad I was
able to get a recording of this happening. Um, I told you about
the the woman who've been pulled over by a cop and then she did
the face Bag video and she was all like he he was a racist and
all this stuff and nothing could be further from the truth
according to the the body cam recently Yeah, so there was a
pastor also NAACP president from South Carolina, Reverend Jared
Moultrie and he posted the following on the face bag as he
was even pulled over for a traffic stop which he considered
to be profiling is what he posted on the face bag. So it's
the officer and him Hello Sir How can I help you officer I'm
stopping you because you failed to put on a turn signal and do
you have any drugs in the car? That sir How do you know if I
use my turn signal when you were approaching me as I turn is
there are there any drugs in your car while you ask him that
license and registration? Sir, can I take off my seatbelt and
get it Sure. As I open the glove box or this new car just
purchase it and all I have is Bill of Sale insurance and
registration from a car I'm transferring tags Okay, where
you work and Whose car is this? And why are you in this
neighborhood? Sir I'm a pastor I live in the house on the left oh
I guess I'm Bill Gates then says the Officer Sir What's the
problem? I asked you who the WHO THE CAR who bought whose car
this is for the last time and why you're in this neighborhood?
Me I told you for the last time this is my car and this is I
live right over there by the way sir. Can I speak to your
supervisor officer walks away with my information when he
returns he says Did you know your tags came back to the
vehicle sir I just explained this to you. Sir. I've purchased
multiple vehicles never heard this now. And the officer
interrupts you need to park this vehicle and never drive it to
you get this straight with the DMV. I'm warning you not to
drive this car till the tags get straight and just know I'm doing
your favorite tonight not taking you to jail or writing your
ticket. Sir. You might be doing yourself a favor but you
certainly not doing me a favor. And it just continues a little
bit on like that. So he was racially profiled, and he was
treated like he didn't belong in that neighborhood. And the
copper lease the body cam video which I cut down removing all
the silences.
Hey, how are you? I'm all right. I'm Officer miles what it was a
police department. There's proof insurance on. Okay, that's fine.
You don't have the motor vehicle. Of course, washing
machine remote. You got to drop blossom. There's no reason why
I'm coming in contact with you is whenever we took the layup
for our cheer, you didn't say okay, the farmers will come in
contact with you say taco
tonight goes back to his car, checks everything out.
He goes straight. Try not to call them on to get the proper
documentation because it's really just a restaurant. And
it's not meant to not to not to Okay, GMC truck. Yes, even and
the system has that too. But when I'm saying you got to have
the proper registration, everything and insurance and all
that stuff to actually indicate that plate coming back to this
motor vehicle, okay, because when I run the plate, it's still
coming back to this. It's not coming back to your call.
Okay, on this thing. Look, I just bought the car the other
day to switch the tides?
Well, you probably need to go to DMV and ask them How come it's
not registered in the state of South Carolina Department of
Motor Vehicles. They're still coming back to that truck
on the saying that but this one intelligent. I switched the tags
from the truck to the car. They told me at DMV, the dealer put
that on their shoulder, the tags will be transferred. Right. And
all I need to do is keep this registration. And as Bill said,
they told you wrong. You got to have the proper documentation in
your motor vehicle that actually matches the car that you're
operating in South Carolina highways in order for it to
operate on highways. They told you wrong. Okay. All right. Your
driver's license. Just make sure you seek that at all times while
operating motor vehicle sockliner highways and drive
safe Okay,
there you go. That was the entire exchange. I missed the
whole Bill Gates the gross thing.
So that guy besides being an obvious liar if this this guy
was you had to do a hell of an edit job on the toe. No, no,
this is quite extraordinary. It wouldn't make sense. Besides
being an obvious liar, and then then a kind of a provocateur by
putting a bull crap thing out there on the face bags. The
guy's switching tags around his cars I mean, everybody knows
that's illegal. Let me let him go. And bull story all the
dealer told me to do it. Yeah, I just think the guy's full of
crap. And sound was reflected in the face bag post.
He sounded kind of drunk too. But, you know now is it possible
that he had this kind of image he felt threatened which is
possible I didn't feel comfortable. And he came up with
kind of this story. And he just I'll just post this. I mean, how
does this happen? Pastor and NAACP President This brings the
organization into question. Certainly the North Carolina
chapter
was that North Carolina or South Carolina might have been south,
let me say, I think the guy said, I see the cops in South
Carolina, right, South Carolina. How does this happen? And you
think perhaps a guy's just delusional, and he actually no
leave? And
no, I think that this happens, this is the nature of the social
nets. This is what you do. You lie about everything. Whether
whether you either lie about how great your life is, and awesome
your food, how much you love your Furbabies or you show that
you're a true victim. There's almost no in between?
Did we play that clip about the addiction? I think we did the
addiction to Facebook, we have several several of them more
recent with the more recent one where the guy says he had to
produce a lie. And he felt that it was important that he made
his life look better than it was and he said the whole thing was
bull crap.
Yeah, I don't remember which, yes, we did play that, but I
don't remember.
It goes on and on about this. And maybe there's some element
that one that may be an element and you know that people who are
see themselves even though it's not necessarily true, but they
see themselves as losers because they have this standard to
uphold of other people that are on Facebook, showing their
wonderful life. And he even had that with that series of which
we haven't talked about, but this was years ago. I know it
floated around this series of douchebags on Facebook, whatever
it was called and there's all these kids with you know, just
too much bullying. Oh, no, no,
that's the rich the rich kids of Instagram, which is also face
bag, honestly.
Yeah. rich, rich kids of Instagram. Right. And it's just
all douchebags you know, and it was just ridiculous. And so
people have this different standards. I don't know maybe
that's all it is. I mean, this is a pet peeve of yours for
years. Yeah, about the about the selfie and you can do is you
have to take 1000 pictures to get the one gesture,
especially if you're in the picture with women. You because
they all have to zoom in check. Make sure is my arm fat. Okay,
all right, yeah, good. All of that. And it results in this
study by Blue Cross Blue Shield has found that the number of
Americans diagnosed with severe depression has jumped by 33%
from 2013 to 2016. The study found that depression was likely
linked to other issues that the patient was dealing with, as 85%
of people diagnosed who are also suffering from another chronic
condition. There were more alarming findings. Such
diagnoses in adolescents Rose 63%. And in Millennials 47%
physicians noted that the increasing use of electronics
and social media may be playing a role. Yeah, I
think
there you go. Depression on the rise up 33% magic number must be
true.
Hmm, interesting.
I did receive a a nice note from a let millennial producer
Nikhil. Hey guys, great show. I wanted to share my experience
with social media screen addiction. I'm a 22 year old
slave and Gitmo nation. And I recently had two things happen
that made me realize how bad social media is for us. I
stopped using my iPhone in favor of a cheap flip phone and my
laptop died. I've noticed withdrawal symptoms not unlike
those of the use of benzodiazepines, Xanax,
Klonopin, both of which I have abused in the past 22. And quite
similar of that have large quantities of THC is really
helpful to me. And I'd recommend that to anyone who has struggled
with mental health issues issues is quite likely I was
substituting online communication with the real
thing. Life Saving Tips here on the no agenda show life saving
saves another kid saved another one not as beautiful. You know,
if we've learned that it's very important or your longevity, you
will live longer if you have more social interaction
integration with people in real life. So talking to the guy
gives you your coffee smiling at someone on the street holding a
door open whatever it is. But yesterday on the way to the spin
class and back, it occurred to me that people are not only
substituting social networks for this type of life saving
interaction, but when they're out among other people, they're
still carrying and holding and looking at their phones.
They have the phone in hand in hand as they walk down the
street next to me, just you know ever since we made that
observation, although it I think we're not the first now that
they're holding the phone instead of having in their purse
or someplace they're actually literally You're holding on to
it for dear life. Yep. All the time juggling bags, looking at
it constantly. Yeah, and juggling it.
Well, they've worked out this way too. And also you need if
you're a real pro, if you're really addicted, then you have
one of those knobs on the back so you can slip your fingers
past that. So you have a good grip on Oh, yeah. What Nobody
has that. What'd you say?
I've never seen Oh my God,
these things are rampant.
I've never seen one. Okay,
go to the mall. They got hand straps. They got Yeah, it's like
a little knob on the I think
they should have I think we should get another product idea.
All right, here we go. product idea product ID. So we should
have some sort of a it should be that phone should be on a on a
tether that is gonna have a kind of spring loaded tether. So then
if you drop the phone immediately sucks back on you.
Like Like she's like keys. Yeah, that should be like on a key
thing. Yeah, if you drop it boiling flips right back comes
right back or and then when you're fumbling and you're
because you have to carry it all times. You can hold it in your
hand. I think it can get a move. You got to dig around your
person. She actually let it go. I
think I think there's a better product which I've been thinking
about. I think we need the Bob Dylan harmonica neck brace and
you need to change that. So you can hang that over your head and
you just glanced down and you can see exactly what's coming in
on the social meds. social nets, social meds. That's good to
know. Something like that. Maybe
my I think my the, I think Did you like your idea better? I
like it, Ted. Okay, well, Yong Yong Yong,
is good. I will say that as a part of my OTG experience. I
have removed the talking tube from Amazon from the home and
replaced it with the open source. Mycroft. Micro Yes.
Mycroft.
The brother of Sherlock Holmes. That's
what he's apparently the box is named after. And the Mycroft is
an open source. You can download it and run it on your if you
have a Linux box, you can run it on that goes straight to CIA.
No, it's you. It's actually self contained. It's within your own
control. Mm hmm. Yeah, I mean, yes, it's open source. So this
has been looked at. And yeah.
Anyway, I've had a lot of fun I'm so I'm agreeing with you.
Sounds like you're mocking me.
Maybe just a little
bit, and I was set out to get it to do all the things I had the
talking to do, which is weather shopping list. And how old is a
celebrity that's pretty much all we ever use it for it. And it's
fun to look at what they call AI because it works the same as
these talking tubes. It's all about utterances and what it can
pick up and you have to put in all these vocabulary trigger
words, alternates instead of add to the shopping list put on my
shopping list. And it's it's all skip logic. There's no
intelligence in this whatsoever. Yeah, there's no intelligence in
any of them. No, no, exactly. But it's just monitoring you.
But it's well this this one monitoring device one monitors
only what I want it to monitor and doesn't send anything if I
don't want it to send anything it doesn't
so what are you using for the for the Polk Audio has a box
that was just at this event. And
talking to Polk
Audio people they had a they have a thing. It's a it's, I
guess you can turn it into any one of these boxes. I don't know
if it would work with that might be a very nice little speaker
microphone array.
Yeah, that's this one actually. So it's a Raspberry Pi. It comes
in an enclosure. And then of course, the thing they don't
have is the fantastic microphone array. It's okay. And it works
but not great. I
think why hasn't anybody I'm just gonna ask why hasn't
anybody hacked Yes?
Well, I've looked into that why they have why haven't they
hacked to Alexa? Yeah.
Oh, act it out. And nor are you just take Alexa, tear it apart
and you hack out just pull out the microphone array and use it
elsewhere because microphone arrays have that storage very,
very advanced technology. Very
cool. Apparently the echo the the Amazon talking to runs on
its own operating system. And I was looking around for it for a
couple of reasons. I also found out what the nest does Holy
crap, that thing's the next to go. The the Nest thermostat.
It's, you know, you know, the Nest thermostat. When you walk
by it. It turns on it had the display comes on. So it has a
sensor and it knows that you're walking by it therefore it knows
your home. All this information to send back to Google who
purchased the company a couple of years ago. There's tons of of
information they're sending.
Yeah, they needed to send to the criminal syndicates. So they can
yes, you're not home your home, you're not always down hope he's
not on let's go get him.
And then the final thing that came in since last show is this.
Everybody was talking about all this this location sharing
company and everybody's location is commercially available. Did
you see any of this? It was in the New York Times everybody was
writing about I saw none of it. So the name of the company is,
let me see, must have it here somewhere, like location
securosys or something, and they have a little web form, and you
fill out the web form with your phone number, they send you a
text message, you reply to the text message with Yes, you know,
it's okay to track me for this test only. And then the webpage
that you're on changes and says, Okay, here's where this phone is
located. And many people have said right down to their front
door almost. And the claim is that this company is getting
this data from the phones themselves through the carriers
that it's available commercially. And that things
like your GPS chip and other processing information is
handing off your, your location data continuously, and therefore
it somehow is available. The great thing is, I tried it with
the Nokia, D 71. Both times cannot locate this phone. So
either is because there's no Spy Chips in this particular phone.
Probably no Spy Chips in the phone. Those are recent. Or
they could also be that I had to do the the web form on a
different device. So maybe it tries to correlate the two
because I'm very wary. That's
pretty odd answer. I don't think so. Anyway, I got there's a I
mean, right now, I can say the same thing about my phone,
though.
Well, you should try it. You should try that form. It's in
the show notes. You should try that.
Try the form. I mean, the phone of course is is is its usual
situation off. And in a cabinet. Right.
Keep it in a Faraday cabinet.
No, I don't need it. Well, I mean, you could but I don't
believe it's being remotely turned on. I mean, exposed as
possible. Although I think it's like anyone worried about that?
I mean, yes, you can put a piece of aluminum foil over it, you
don't really need a Faraday anything but because I tested
the aluminum foil after I wore the hat for a while.
And it seems to work. And it
and by the way, and for all you Apple users if you really think
you know, they're gonna turn your phone on and off
automatically state the battery die.
Always a winner this joke. Anyway, I was very happy, like,
Okay, this is another benefit of this phone. No tracking, at
least not through this third party. And then it kind of hit
me that, you know, a lot of people who believe and if it's
not happening it, I'm sure it is somewhere and it will be in the
future. You know that your phone is listening to you people so
many stories of people saying I was talking with someone about
dog toys, and I got all these ads for dog toys. My kid did
this.
I think it's part of it. This part of it I give up on and I'll
tell you why. I have had more people, especially in the last
few months, but dial me. And I listen in. Right? I listen to
the I know it's about duck because I can hear the mumbling
and grumbling going on in the background and to get his
oblivious nature sometimes I'll yell and yell at but know
nothing because you know, it's on the pockets and it's on the
desk. I don't know where the phone is. I have never been able
to hear a conversation that it's intelligible. It's impossible.
Right? Well, there we've been through this idea that the whole
lies, John, I'm just gonna push back again, like I did the last
time you said this. The the GSM cell quality is very different
from a high end. digital transmission over data, a very
different quality. I'm not saying that that's what's
happening. But that's just factually different. You'll
agree with me on that. I hope so.
I am going to blame this on the little microphone. The
for some of these things like the iPhone has five mics I mean
this there's a lot more technology in these things they
need then you realize
but I would like to see a demo. I'll be a believer not after the
hypothetical argument. I'll be a believer and somebody shows me
this this concept in action. Well, I don't I don't think
that's understand a word and what anyone's saying
I don't think that's actually where they're getting it from.
I'm thinking this now, especially Google spent so much
time mapping out the remember everything is about location
with these fuckers. is the Google Earth was one of their
main products early on.
Are they sitting there? Are they? Are they literally
fuckers? Yeah,
they are. They are little fuckers. Yes, they are. Sorry. I
remember when they they were doing the maps driving around.
Oh, by the way, we're also collecting all your Wi Fi. No,
no, don't do that. Yeah. Oh, that was just a mistake. No, it
wasn't
they still do it. As far as I can tell, I'm sure that in fact,
it's gotten worse to the point where if you want to use Google
Maps, which I did a whole column about how you sign your life
away in that column, very little play button. People don't care.
But anyway, sign your life away when you use Google Maps,
literally sign your life away. And all this stuff. Now you've
given away the this these, you, if you use the product, they
demand you turn on the Wi Fi thing. So I was like, well, we
can't do the job unless you've got the whole thing turned on.
And we get all your information. Yeah,
you can't use it. Yeah. And if you don't agree to the terms,
maps for you, correct. I've been using I don't know maps.
actually look at the map. It's easier, but it's
very good way to get the lay of the land is to have an actual
street map.
But here's what's happening. And after I read a story about a
father, whose son wanted a you want one of those delt those fan
wings, what do you call it, you strap the fat, the big fan on
your back, and you've got a para paramotor. There it is. So it's
a paraglider with a motor. And the kids like, Oh, I really want
this, you know, these 12 years old, whatever. And then the
father, all of a sudden, YouTube videos start to show up
suggesting Para motoring. And he's like, hold on a second
hijack. Of course, he had never looked at that to how does this
happen. And he came up with a whole man was like contact list.
That could be it. But I think proximity is what it's at is
where it's at. If there are two people who are identified as
being in the same place, I think that's when they start to merge
interests. And you know, so maybe the kid also got some
videos his dad was watching, he might not have noticed and
probably goes unnoticed, a large percentage of the time. But you
know, if someone's looking at certain types of content, and
then they're in close proximity for X amount of time to someone
else, then give them some of that content. They may be
interested or they may have just talked about that. And it would
be interesting to see what happens when it shows up I think
they're doing it with with location proximity. Well, we
have
to come to one of two conclusions here because I am
hearing a contradiction of our basic thesis, which is that they
keep advertising to us stuff that we already bought out
different algorithms, different algorithm. They're completely
they're complete idiots different. Now they're the most
advanced. No, no, no, I
don't think that's an stop. I don't think that's advanced at
all. How was that advanced, you have the location, continuous
real time location data from everybody,
except for me, it's like, advanced to have that
information and be able to use it for anything.
But as I started off, they've had this for for decades, this
is where this is the core of their company. And so now all
they have to do is say, hey, these guys are in the same room.
Maybe we should share some content they're looking at I
don't think that's incredibly advanced. I think it is. Wow.
Well, someone's gonna write in and they'll know if it's
happening or not.
I don't think it's happening. And I am
also I this was a while ago, I got a suggested friend of
someone who I've never I've never even communicated with
digitally, but they were in my proximity several times. So how
do they know? And this person has no relationship to me? No
family no other friends it was not a definitely not a friend
religion walked by him you know, they were in proximity. So
several times in the same
spin class.
All right, you're not taking me seriously. You think
I mean I I'm taking you very seriously and I think your
experiments with the OTG off the grid mechanism is definitely
part of the show now. But it's it's did a little bit much for
me like I said I've heard these will be I'm I think
it's more believable than we heard what you said I'm with you
on that a much more. I mean, I see how lame the recognition
really is. Although Google is is sometimes impressive,
but let's get back to the those those that microphone arrays
that are used in the Alexa bot. Yeah, box. Yeah. Talk. Is
anybody out there? Has anybody out there just torn this box
apart and stolen those mics? I think that the cost of the those
mics
I was do not use the box and put my own straw man if
you could. You people, there's all kinds of that $1,000 reward
if you can hack the box. It's not floating around. Oh, you
mean
what you were you change the name I saw that changed? No, no,
no $1,000 reward I have the story right here is if you can
change the name.
Oh, well, you've already done that. I know. Yes. But once you
go collect your money, I'm not going anyway, the point I'm
talking about I don't think I think a better system. Maybe
some better speakers, I think does sound tinny. I don't care
what anybody thinks. But that's it. Those microphones is a
microphone arrays cost 1000s of dollars. If you go try to buy
one, they're very high tech, especially if you can get it you
know, and getting them to work is another thing. They're used
for. Okay, some recordists will use them for very advanced
recording techniques. And they're very, very expensive
now. I don't know what maybe he's just cheap little electric
condensers, which would be my guess, is set up in an array
with some software that makes it work. So it can hear everything.
Still, you can't it's not the kind of thing that's presale. Is
there is you does your little box that you put together from
scratch have a microphone around it like there's just one?
Mic. One dumb mic? Yeah. Yeah, of course. There's I mean, it
also, no, no, of course it doesn't have that. And I would
love to have a microphone array on it. Now that I control it now
that is now that does. Yes. And the nest is next. And then I
think we're pretty clear here. Although I'm not so sure about
my TV. I gotta check that thing to now.
Because I've done it. Yeah.
And so with all of this going down, Facebook has come out in
the past week, talking about fake accounts, they've been
deleting. And I've I've always questioned their numbers. And
it's just, it's like one of those things we don't even
question anymore. It's so embedded. Facebook has 2 billion
people. It was only a billion a couple of years ago, but okay, 2
billion people, yet. They deleted 1.3 billion fake
accounts in the last six months. So does that mean they deleted
half their user base? Does it mean they miscounted their user
base? Or is are they so good that they've actually 3.3
billion users. And they had always discounted the 1.3
billion fake accounts. I mean, someone has to ask the question,
and I'd like to have an answer. How many users do they have?
What But where's Wall Street on this? If I was investing in this
video, Hey, hold on a second. They have a revenue per user,
the ARPU, that's what they they live on, yet deleting hundreds
of millions of accounts. So what is it? No, no. I'm just
surprised that that everyone, everyone just knows him.
The money's rolling. But where's the stress earnings?
Where's the media? Where's the media? Where are people asking
these questions? Well, we are, I think, actually Twitter's. I'm a
little bullish on Twitter. Why? Well, they're doing they have
the right idea. They're executing it very poorly. They
just announced the big change in their API, which changes. I've
always said that their API's is what they should be charging
money for. But okay, they've decided they will now be two
tiers, you will have the free tier, which you can use for your
app, but likes and favorites or retweets. Quoted tweets will be
delayed up to about two minutes before those come through on the
API, which I guess is just horrific for people. Oh, I don't
know if I'm liked yet. I have to wait two minutes. And if you
want to buy access to the full streaming API, it will be for if
you have an an app that has up to 250 accounts, you can have
access to the API for $2,899 per month. That's not a bad deal.
Well, it is if you're Twitterrific or TweetDeck, or
any of these types of companies
it is for them. I'm saying for a marketing guy. Yes.
I think it's actually very smart. They should have done
this a long time ago. They need to have different price
structure structure in place something
else is going on too because they have apparently the Library
of Congress gave up you know that probably all we're gonna
get rid of. They said we can't do it. It's too much too much
work. Too much work is too much crap. It is just now when I do
it, so I guess that whole project project project is dead.
Yeah, the only thing that is officially archived, as far as
we know is this show in the Royal Dutch archives.
Yes and I want to remind people that because we tried try to use
it as leverage to get people you know your everyone who said the
call out to their mom is now forever archived for us, right
through all of history. The annals of time. So I'm gonna
1000 years from now your mother will be remembered.
Yes. It was a good ploy those
guys archives don't go away.
No, they don't.
Oh, giant books and they're always doing this, you know,
history investigators wherever it is on PBS, they, they dig
around, and they go into leads, you know, some old town in
England and they go into the archives, this big giant books,
it's huge. And they flip them open. And there's Oh, and 1410
There's where Dorothy married, Jim, you know, and it goes on
and on. Yeah, that's what you're getting with the no agenda show.
Yep. And you get life saving tips. Such as how to not go stir
crazy from being continuously pinged by your phone. There was
a story in The Wall Street Journal about some
sounds get to you know, going back to the woman or the women
or the men too, but mostly women walking around with the phone in
their hand and then they check it every so what are they
checking it for?
For dopamine hits? Yeah, well, it's an addiction. It's for a
dopamine hit. That's what it's for. There is no reason it's
been so it's been so nice. And yeah, although I walk outside
and I'm looking at everybody and no one's looking back because
they're all hunched over. They're all bent down. So you
can't do your Hello, how you doing? Oh, no, some of them are
people. I'm going to do a video so walk out my building and I'll
do a video because it's always people.
We did the video before you do the video. Have you ever thought
of like slowly moving toward them then kind of politics? You
see they're completely distracting you jump in front of
them and you just look like you're walking? And then they
plow India? Have you done that? I've considered it I've done it
a number of
times. You can get away with it. You know me the pick a fight the
day Thank God he had some quarters in his pocket kick that
curries s. Who is the boss at some company? What does it know
what company it is but he did his internal surveys big story
on it. That the the time people spend on their phone during the
work day is is an average of two hours and 25 minutes. Think
about that two hours and 25 minutes. That's a lot.
That's a lot.
Will you do a video you watch the video?
I'm gonna walk out the building and I'll show all of the women
walking around with the phones with the knobs on the phones,
layouts mate. And by the way, it's mainly women, when it has
been assumed to be a lot more susceptible to this. I'm not
sure why. I've not seen any research on that.
Well, there should be some research on it. They it needs to
be studied and internalized or doing the lack of research. You
had all these sociology departments all over the country
and all these colleges, and they don't do the work that they
should be doing. Right?
I mean, come on people. Instead we have
Silicon Valley doing things like this, I got a note from the z
one of our producers. My sister was taking notes in Microsoft
Word while at work. She noticed the red underline indicating a
misspelled word different from the green underline for grammar
mistakes. When she right click the word the word was maternity
as a part of maternity leave. Microsoft Word suggested she
used more gender neutral language such as parental leave
family leave childcare leave. So this is now creeping into the
software
that was that wasn't that couldn't have been with a red
line.
I have a picture of it right here. This is a picture. It's a
red red dotted line.
red dotted line, that red underline
it's underlined. It's red underlined, but it's dashes I
would say little short dashes so that seems to be the behavior
I use word all the time and I've never seen anything like this is
some other add in. This is not this is not No.
Huh Do you think maybe she got some kind of macro or something?
Because it seems to be coming from the dictionary. right
clicks? I'm glad no
idea. I'd like to get you for me that letter. I want to follow up
on this. Yeah, or for me if it's true. Well hold on a second
reminds me my old PC World story which I've told on the show at
least twice. Oh, somebody's calling while you're looking at
stole I can hang up the phone.
Okay, I'm opening up Microsoft Word as part of the office 365
suite. Let me see. Now I'm going to open a blank document and we
should we should tell them to go on maternity leave and Let me
see. I have no spelling errors.
Why is that? Because no spelling errors.
All right. Well, that's very interesting. I don't know what I
did. It doesn't show up that way for me, right?
It won't show for anybody. I don't know what's going on
there. Well, so
I like it. She's got a screenshot. So all right, I will
forward you the story up on. Yeah, I wonder in my notes might
have been you might have been some kind of plugin. It has to
be some. Well, we'll find out if that's true. I mean, that's
pretty spectacular. Unless you're just being bullshitted.
Possibly, but it's it's a it's an actual shot of the screen. So
it's not a screenshot screenshot.
I can use Photoshop to why Okay, all right. Sure. I know, why
would you do it doesn't make any sense. Let's just have a bone to
pick with politically correct language. Yeah. And this is an
example. I mean, you could I could see somebody, but it's
still too much work. But
it was one of our producers sister. So that's why I put some
weight on it.
To them. She listened to the show. No, I don't think so. All
right. So onto the news.
We have news.
Yeah, we got Stormies lawyer,
stormy stories, but let's do the North Korea stuff because that's
the most interesting to me. It's coming up. Now. I have two
different clips I've got I've got a clip of follow up and then
I have a point to make, which is not being discussed in these
clips. And I'm I'm asking the question of you. Why do you
think that is? Let's start with the ABC North Korea begs off
report.
Is it in dealing with something else North Korea? Will the
summit take place after all? Tonight here the first standoff
before the summit North Korea now threatening to cancel the
talks today slamming the US for what it calls one sided demands
to give up its nuclear weapons. The President was asked today
whether the summit is still on the ABCs chief White House
correspondent Jonathan Karl, with how he answered.
If President Trump is rattled by the latest threats from North
Korea, he's not showing it.
We'll see what happens.
Time will tell earlier press secretary Sarah Sanders said the
latest move by North Korea came as no surprise
this is something that we fully expected but the
change in tone is dramatic from the all smiles meetings between
Kim Jong Hoon and the Secretary of State to an angry statement
by North Korea's chief negotiator saying he is totally
disappointed by the extremely unjust recent comments by US
officials. He singled out the American demand that North Korea
give up all its nuclear weapons before getting anything in
return.
We want to see the denuclearization process. So
completely underway that it's irreversible.
North Korea now says such talk could scuttle the summit. If the
US is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral
nuclear abandonment. We will no longer be interested in such
dialogue. The North Koreans seem particularly upset by National
Security Adviser John Bolton, who called on them to do what
Libya did more than a decade ago. We have very
much in mind the Libya model from 2003 2004, Bolivia modeled
after Libya gave up its nuclear program. Libyan dictator Muammar
Qaddafi was overthrown and murdered on the streets. North
Korea once called Bolton human scum. Today they add quote, We
do not hide our feelings of repugnance towards him. They may
also be aware of the political stakes for President Trump, who
is mused about winning a Nobel Prize that's very nice. Thank
you. That's very nice Nobel
I just want to get the job done.
Now, yes, not that's not Trump musing about winning the no it's
not like he's sitting there going. Let me drink some more
Sherry and think about the Nobel Prize is the butts the crowd
chanting Nobel Nobel Yeah. Which is not presented that way by the
reporter which
I'm pretty sure was sparked by the M five M media to start
with. I think it was as as and here's how it went. Oh, my God,
you don't think the aihole with the orange clown will win a
Nobel Peace Prize? Yeah.
Yeah. Now there's a follow up to this which which this is this is
the story continues as ABC North Korea begs I'll report to this
is kind of how the report ends and it's almost as anticlimactic
because what it tells me is that this you know there Just mix it.
They're making the story more dramatic than it needs to be if
what they're now going to say is true.
So let's get to John Karl. He's live at the briefing room there
inside the White House tonight. And John, the summit now less
than a month away. Bottom line tonight for folks at home. Does
the White House think this summit is going to happen?
Well, the planning for the summit continues in as you have
seen with the muted response from the White House to the
latest from North Korea. They don't want to do anything to
throw it off. So for now, David, at least it is all systems go.
All right, John. Carl there at the White House. John. Thanks,
as always, Next tonight.
What was that? All systems go anyway?
Yeah, I mean, it says though, that this is just a story that
the media is creating. And yes, of course, they are targeting
Bolton, which is I think, a positive thing, the guy's a
jerk.
The first now the first time I saw the story, I immediately
thought, ah, we have a full three weeks, maybe even a little
more before the meeting, we got to keep it on the radar. Because
it's ratings, you just keep some tension. It could have been
launched by any of the negotiating parties, but more
likely launched by the media itself.
That's kind of what I'm guessing, but the media is not
covering it accurately. There is some issue. And I came from the
economist because I have their get their newsletter. And on May
16, Wednesday, they sent out a bulletin. And I'm just gonna
read this today and it and I'm gonna read this and then I want
to play the next clip from NBC. And I want to shoot a try to
find me in this report, which was yesterday, or this was
Friday. So this is like two days later find any mention of what
I'm about to read to you. Okay. North Korea announced today that
it was canceling high level talks with the South. It also
threatened to pull out of a summit with America. The reasons
It cited that by the way, they're canceling both the
talks, which are the ones for the peace agreement. And and and
the meeting, the reasons it cited were long scheduled
military exercises between America and South Korea. Yeah.
Are we doing that America's insistence that it must
unilaterally forswear? Now, the argument is, well, we've already
talked about that we're going to still do these exercises. But
what the North Korean says, Yeah, you were going to do them.
But now you're bringing in all the stealth bombers, and you're
going to practice a decapitation exercise, so
Well, that's not very nice. That's really not very
neighborly of us.
No, not very neighborly at all. And I don't even know if Trump
knows this is going on. But meanwhile, they're not going to
even mention this on the mainstream media. And I think
that it was a mistake that the economist pushed it out there
because I don't think they want us to know this. So let's play
the NBC version of the story, which has no mention of this.
Any of this
White House. Thank you. Tonight after weeks of hype there are
new doubts over whether that face to face meeting between
President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will even
happen at all the North Koreans are balking over demands about
their nuclear weapons program. President Trump is not backing
down and BCS Peter Alexander now has the latest. Thank you very
much. It's
tonight the summit standoff President Trump for the first
time addressing North Korea's threats to call off next month's
historic meeting with Kim Jong on.
We'll have to see. We haven't seen anything. We haven't heard
anything. We will see what happens.
The President standing by his demand that a deal include North
Korea get rid of its nuclear weapons. But today one of Kim
Jong Un's top deputies is framing that as a non starter
warning we are no longer interested in a negotiation that
will be all about driving us into a corner and making a one
sided demand. But North now taking aim at National Security
Adviser John Bolton blasting him is repugnant. Seizing on these
recent comments.
We have very much in mind the Libya model from 2003 2004,
citing Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi is agreement to shut
down its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
But years later, Gaddafi was deposed and killed. The White
House today downplay Bolton's comments.
This is the President Trump model. He's gonna run this the
way he sees fit. We're 100% Confident
North Korea's defiant stance is sharp reversal from recent
conciliatory steps, including the release of three US
prisoners last week. But experts warn Kim Jong Un's gamesmanship
looking for maximum leverage is nothing new.
The North Koreans are very good at surprising us. But if we had
any sense of history, we would have understand that this is a
page from their playbook.
Also tonight as President Trump gears up for that scheduled
Summit, ousted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is
delivering an apparent swipe at the president worrying that the
US is experiencing in his words a growing crisis in ethics and
integrity.
If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people
become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer
grounded in facts, yeah, then we as American citizens are on a
pathway, it's Laurel languishing our freedom.
Those remarks part of a commencement address at a
military college where Tillerson never mentioned the president by
name
last. Now, first of all, pushing these two stories into each
other was chicken shit, which is typical ABC, NBC. So because
they didn't have anything bad to say, they don't mention the fact
that they're still going kind of ahead as scheduled, even though
it was kind of pushed at the beginning of that story. But
they bring in a guy who says, Oh, this is nothing new is that
North Korean playbook, even though we're the one driving
them to this playbook is our playbook more than it is theirs,
it seems to me. And then they call it a summit standoff,
adding some sort of drama to it.
Chiron Chiron guys had a little time because they've done all
the stormy Daniels stuff Chiron so they needed a new slogan. And
it's the summit standoff. Good work Chiron department.
And then we have this Bolton character who shouldn't even be
in that job. He's listening. You gotta be.
He's got to be in there to get kicked out or something.
Well, he's gonna get kicked out. But he's a stooge for the Neo
cons. Yeah. And he's, he drops his little gem in there. We all
knew that it was, and I hate to use the word but I'm gonna start
using it. We knew it was a dog whistle. This idea of Oh, yeah,
just like we did with Libya. Libya was the biggest double
crossed that West has ever pulled on any of these
countries. You know, suckering Qaddafi being this best buddy.
And then all of a sudden, you know, just brutalizing him in
the streets, you know, murdering with this?
So I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed it. Yes, we came, we
saw he died.
We killed him.
Good work, Uma. So there was so this is really, this is a
there's something off here with this whole story. And there were
the Neo cons in particular. And I think and obviously the
industrial military industrial complex does not want this to
happen. Now. We're seeing evidence of sales going to kill
sales of armaments.
Yes. And I'm pretty sure that the more I've listened to you
and those clips this is obviously the the media is
making this tension not dissimilar to what are we
seeing? Oh, yes, the poll numbers were Democrats are not
as far ahead as they thought keep watching for updates. It's
just it's all the same. And so they can Joel's Kim Jong on his
press department gave one statement. And quite honestly,
even with the way Trump started off by saying and if I don't
like what else see Oh, walk from a table so the guys that well,
we don't like it, we're gonna walk from the table more or less
is kind of the same thing. We're not gonna they don't give us
what we want. We're not of course. So there's it's a
cockfight. Big deal. But the what I'm looking for is are we
seeing elements from the intelligence community or from
the Pentagon who are actively undermining with this same with
this same message? I have not seen that yet. Then will not
because you would expect them to want to do that. They are the
ones that don't don't really want this to happen. So I would
think they'd put their stooges in I haven't seen him really
it's just a lot of people who just
talk well, it's because I think it'd be
a die roller personally.
Well, not dissimilar and boy I think we nailed it with the the
opening of the embassy in Jerusalem. I was questioning why
am I seeing the Palestinians on TV the at the in Gaza and
fighting and burning tires for two weeks and you never see it?
It hasn't been on for a long time. And then all sudden, the
ramps up I of course, the embassy is opening and yeah,
every news report every publication The New York Times,
here's people dying gears, Ivanka, here's people Here's an
old lady covered in dirt throwing rocks at heavily armed
IDF. And here's Jared and Ivanka. I mean, come on. That
was that was I mean, I don't care who you do that to. That
was just mean.
The list list. I have a two clips.
Okay. What you got? Well,
first of all, I got a clip from some guy. He was on CNN or
MSNBC. This is the guy that can't remember this guy, but
he's just some black guy and he was just a guy on Hamas again,
dog whistle CNN and this. There's I just want to be able
to hear this has been floating around this little guy. This
guy's irked about the deaths and he blames it on Trump of course,
foreign policy is generating uncertainty, deep uncertainty,
right that is cascade.
policy is not what the Congress member So the House and Senate
are going campaigning on right now they need to campaign on
domestic issues where they have a stance. So, while Donald Trump
is doing this and may look for a deflection, it's not necessarily
going to help the midterms.
All this important and all of those babies are dead. People
are dead. Dead and we're talking about resources. I mean, the
politics I mean a lot of folks who are dead today for what I'm
sorry this is me being a moralist I suppose no
I understand and and the White House today their response to
that was it is mosses fault and they're using them as as tools
for for propaganda
like saying the children in the children's March of Birmingham,
it was their fault and Bull Connor attack them.
Who Who is this guy?
I don't know. I can forgot his name. I didn't write it down. I
made a mistake. But it's just this kind of the false
equivalency Bull Connor didn't kill a bunch of babies. And and
how many babies were killed. They were these are the people
that were attacking the border were their babies. They're
attacking the border. I mean, this whole thing is just like,
completely twisted. It's almost sickening to listen to these
people. Now let's listen to Richard Engel who is a stooge
for the intelligence community. And when I hear this report, I
would say that, I don't know if it's he worked for CIA or if he
works for I don't know who he works for. CIA is my suspicion
based on his, you know, when he was asked during that era, where
if you remember when Feinstein was being spied upon by the
agency, when she was trying to do this torture report, and she
did the Torture Report, and then they wanted to release it to the
public. And then Richard Engel is one of the guys No, no, no,
you shouldn't do it. I actually paid attention to all the guys
who said they shouldn't do it. Those are all people that are on
the payroll.
It would be illegal according to the Cuomo kid for you to read
it. It's only for news people.
And so the point is, is that if you're a news person, why would
you want to repress anything that is of interest that that
can help you develop new stories? Why would you would you
be against WikiLeaks? If you're a news person? Why would you be
against releasing this if you're a US,
you'll recall that they were all for WikiLeaks, when Snowden was
out there. And everyone thought it was great. But then when it
started doing stuff that turned out to be favorable to Trump,
people started to hate WikiLeaks. That's what happened.
I remember how popular is
natural elements in play, but now they totally hate WikiLeaks.
But But going back to the Feinstein documents, why as a
newsman, would you say it's not it shouldn't be released because
he's probably in the document.
Well, Engel is really he's sitting there. He's just getting
gassed. He's pulling one of those. I forgot it. The guy that
used to be on CNN when they were when Bush Senior was bombing the
Iraqis and he was at the roof and he's,
oh, yeah, you had the helmet on. He was the one of the bullets as
a phony studio in the basement. Yeah, yeah. Someone, Momo.
And he used to be the rocket jockey or somebody had some
nickname for him because he was a hunk. And he was Geraldo. No,
it was some other guys long gone. Richard Arnett was I know,
Richard, wasn't Richard aren't or Peter or Peter or British
guy. Anyway, this angle is like being gassed, and he has to redo
the report and put on the gas mouth. Last Word. I saw this.
And then at the very end of this report, he's visibly angry about
the fact that the Palestinians are getting gassed and shot at
and I don't know what he wants for the alternative. Does he
want the Palestinians to invade Israel? I don't know what the
alternative to this is. But he he's irked by the whole thing
this play this
dark. There is new Fallout this evening from those deadly
clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians protesting the
opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem. The Denton region
already on edge with new violence erupting today. And BCG
foreign correspondent Richard angle has more now from Gaza.
In Gaza, angry funerals today after Health officials say
Israeli troops shot dead more than 60 Palestinian protesters,
including six children Monday when they tried to rush the
Israeli border cameras catching them fall after being hit. And
today in Gaza, Israel seem determined not to repeat the
bloodshed using an air campaign to keep protesters from ever
reaching the border fence. Drones hovered above the
protesters dropping small tear gas bombs, two loads per drone
flying nonstop. You never knew when or where they dropped Ah
these protests are not letting up among Palestinians there is
now no conviction that President Trump is an arbiter for the
peace process as far as they're concerned, the peace process and
without hope for a negotiated peace extremists have a free
hand to fuel Palestinian anger. The leader of Hamas, which runs
the Gaza Strip, arrived unannounced and a main
demonstration IS militants supporters calling for Rockets
to fly forward Israel. And while UN Human Rights officials are
criticizing Israel for using lethal force against protesters,
Israel and the Trump administration are blaming Hamas
for sparking the latest round of violence.
No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than
Israel has.
That's not the feeling here in Gaza now. They feel hopeless and
ignored. There's no talk of a peace process now. Not even talk
of peace, Lester.
Alright. Richard Engel in Gaza. Thank you. Yeah,
yeah. I fix the report for him too. Did you hear that? I fixed
a little bit.
No, sorry.
No, I fix his report. You know, you had this this bit here where
his
hand to fuel Palestinian anger. So we're talking about Hamas,
which runs the Gaza Strip arrived unannounced at a main
demonstration is militant supporters calling for Rockets
to fly. Human Rights efficiency ethics
that made his way he could have done that. Why he why he didn't
sweeten it. Now I had asked a number of our producers living
in Israel we a couple of nights, their sense of feedback about
the media and how their bow. You know, what is going on? Why, why
all of this all of a sudden, and I didn't get anything. Well, I
got different stuff from Sir Brian of London, but Sir Jono
elder of Zion. He says, Hey, okay, I'll answer your question.
I like it best when you guys don't talk about Israel. But
obviously, anything I say on the subject is very biased. I am
unapologetically a Zionist and supporter of my country. I
wouldn't have immigrated here from Australia and stayed 30
years if I wasn't, I don't think we are perfect, but I also think
we are often unfairly maligned in the media. I believe it was
John C. Dvorak, who once said something like this. And I think
it was quite accurate quote, the media is controlled by self
loathing Jews. Love you guys. Sir Joe. No. That's the best. I
don't recall you actually saying that. Precisely like that. But I
live.
out take credit for anything. That's good.
Yeah. So that would be it, then there's your answer. We know
everything. I mean, there's some truth to that.
Then with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for? Can I
get an array Devorah rack
and the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning all ships
to see boots on the ground feet in the air subs and the word
NAME IS nights out there.
And in the morning to the troll room? No agenda stream.com. I
had a thought the other day and we have some people upload the
show to YouTube. Don't take the recording. Yeah, I think it
would be if you're going to do that anyway. Why don't you do a
screen recording synchronized with the show of the troll room?
That's an idea.
I mean, I've seen it before. It's not like it's really hard
to do just do a screen grab without rolling by. You can
actually see how much information comes from the troll
room. Which is more than then people think probably they're
very helpful.
I think that's a great idea. And that well, of course it would be
a good idea came from you. You. You're the pod father there.
Yes, disputed now at times disputed. But okay. I also want
to say in the morning to nick the rat. He brought us the
artwork for episode 1033. The title of that was swagger. And
Nick knows us he's been around for a long time with the show so
he knows that on Mother's Day. We just want a big heart that
says mom in it. And he was right. That's exactly what we
wanted. And it turned out beautiful. Very happy with it.
Yeah, it
stands out no agenda right out. Yes,
no agenda, our generator.com we appreciate all the work that our
artists do. And I'm telling you it makes a difference for this
show if you use any type of certainly the new will the
iPhone app, but I think overcast does it as well. You see a whole
bunch of shows and then all of a sudden your eye falls on oh wait
a minute, that's different because it's a different piece
of artwork, unlike the rest which remains pretty static
either throughout the show's lifetime or changed one you know
sporadically. I think it entices listening and I'm very grateful
for it so no agenda are generated are calm. Thank you
Marty looks
it looks very slick when you go to the Roku no agenda guy yeah
you got a channel there right is there's two things one the click
on streaming and blast the stream or two you can click on
the show and it shows the shows it has I think of archive about
12 shows and each one with a different arts very attractive
as it comes flopping up at you can see the different art
Oh yes, they are on the Roku interface. That'll look good.
I'll check it out.
They should looks cool.
It looks cool. It's very well done. Yes. Okay, well let's
thank a few people for being an executive and Associate
Executive producers for show 1034 I believe that's the number
sir K Mac of Pennsylvania it's 550 $550 or a P a and then it
could be anything finally breaking my donation absence
after the unbelievable BOGO night episodes I had to sit
through you not to sit through anything he got triggered by
Eric's half price rings and I had tears in my silence and
unleashed a fury within before air name cancer karma before
Aaron before airing the needs cancer karma for Aaron need
cancer karma. Okay. The idea knighthood is a special one.
I know I remember this. We you actually I emailed them twice
and plaint Yeah, he has a complaint his complaint was he
felt that our buy one get one off which was not entirely that
but it was you know, if you donate it it would count double
towards a knighthood on our 10th anniversary he felt that that
was a rip off.
As and we sold
out we sold out I'm not quite sure to whom as you pointed out,
I obsessively letters who we sold out we saw at the who and
then he sent something back that had nothing to do with that
question I said again we sold out we sold to who and he still
hasn't responded to that that I know of I may have maybe did I
didn't hear it but he I still don't sure who he sold out to.
I think he just wanted to air his grievance. And if you send
us a donation with as executive producer, go
for it. Yeah, you can grieve all you want. Yeah. He even saw you.
He
also thinks we're splitting well over seven figures.
Yeah, it's good. Yeah, maybe in the next life one given to a
person showing beyond human support for a monarch or had
been inherited for a long period of Alba. Now it appears King
Arthur is giving out knighthoods to coupon cutters and stable
boys who happen to scrape up enough change to turn it in with
his stamp book he's been filling it is very insulting to
everybody who took part in the 10th anniversary celebration I
will say But we thank you for your $550 Yes, thank
you for your courage and I hope everything gets better here is
your requested F cancer karma you've got karma.
Henry Cunningham three and $33.33 in the morning John and
Adam It's been a while but that donation should bring me to
knighthood and if you're still offering to throw in the extra
penny
I think I got one here. Yep. From two shows I just have a
roll of
quarters in my pocket. Last night donate it was back in 2016
to bully Adam into giving going on the night attack show with
the jury and salty Touchwood seems that tush would as seems
that it was a success that you did go on the show and according
to a recent broadcast they have to move to a larger space
because of all the weed smoke
Yeah, I broke their studio.
That reference to the episode reminded me that I have become a
douche bag when not donate it for nearly two years. Oh boy.
This indeed brings me to a nice status I'd like to be knighted
attacked night. The night attack night who might attack night
attack.
Nice. late in life I look forward to that. Henry. We shall
make you so good sir. Thank you for your support. Yeah, wasn't
ready.
You never really haven't been ready recently for these guys,
sir. Joke Duke Thomas Nussbaum my favorite devil. All
and then finally. Okay, the final one.
Not answering the mic. Yeah. Nussbaum. Nussbaum There you go.
Oh. Virginia Beach, Virginia. $314.59. When you read this, I'm
driving through Virginia St. Louis Love and Light hugs and
kisses finish antibiotics even though symptoms do not persist
in pigs. Okay, you do the same sir Nussbaum one of our big big
supporters here on the show for
dollar Dr. And text nonnamous During the $33.34 that should
bring me to knighthood if all as well please a common
commemorative Lea night me as sir 1034 for show 1034 Okay,
even up Jen said Cora, and he's got the economy. I messed up my
notes ascending for the 10th anniversary and didn't feel like
pestering you about it. Thanks for keeping it anonymous though.
This year, a donation should at least bring me over Canadian
knighthood, which in turn, makes you feel less cheap.
While he's on the list for knighting today, so you're good
to go. And thank you.
And then another anonymous from Denver, Colorado comes in with
200 bucks. Hi, all anonymous from Denver here love to show of
course. So here's a couple 100 that I hope
hundos
a couple of hundos Yeah, Santos, a couple of hundos that we
should all use hundo. Or like hard I hope will be spent on
booze. My comment to your last segment on furry kids and urban
millennials is pretty on point. But let's not forget that men
are putting off children because they're putting off marriage.
Rent here is high and budgets are tight. Not to mention the
dating scene in the city is bizarre and off limits to any
man who dares not to declare himself a feminist. Wait
a minute, whose fault is it then? Is it the men?
Don't believe it's the man's fault. It shouldn't have to
declare themselves anything. themselves. Yes, I am myself.
You're not a feminist. I'm not gonna date you. Loser. Is that
is that a an Android phone or an Apple phone? It's an Android.
You're a loser. No, no,
I heard if. If so. One of the universities. If you have if you
don't have an iPhone, people wonder if you're on welfare.
Yeah. Why sad? Loser? Yeah,
if your text shows up in green instead of blue, you're clearly
a loser.
We talked about this about two years ago when the millennials
in the house here mentioned that they can't You can't get a date
in San Francisco unless you use it unless you show an iPhone are
the media otherwise you got no money? Yeah.
I think it's I think it's bogus. I think it's probably true, but
I think it's a bogus. No, it's very bold. But I think that as a
determinant is a terrible thing. It's materialistic and very
shallow.
Didn't that start with Nike? When did the when did the the
real rage over? cheap items made in China? Were overpriced with a
brand logo. When was
it? I think Nikes probably the progenitor of it. Sure. I mean,
the other thing I always buy tennis shoes that are
comfortable and fit well. Yes. Different. Which tends to be
Reeboks in my case, which is given up on the Speedos. No,
that does I don't wear Speedo. I wear Speedos. Crocs, crocs. But
no,
hold on. Hold on a second this year, for 10 years. I finally
say speedos instead of crocs. Because whenever I would say
crocs you would say they're Speedos. Now I say speedos and
now you say no, they're crocs
No I said they're essentially Yeah, well, okay, nevermind. I
don't get rid of those anymore. They went out did their domain
they went
out of style. Right now we're Skechers yes, they went out of
the Skechers. Okay.
Dummy finishes. No. Common sense dictates dictates that a smart
man only has a child with a woman he marries and thanks to
Tinder and whatever dating apps there aren't a lot of there
aren't a lot out here looking to settle down. With all of this
uncertainty it's only natural for to forego baby making till
your 30s at the earliest. Enter dog children. Also pay attention
to Colorado's HB one eight dash 1011 just passed. And now
marijuana companies can finally have ownership from entities
based outside of the state. Oh, this is a huge is huge and going
to result in nice paydays, for many in the industry that got in
on the ground floor finally. So how about some jobs coming from
my Colorado? MJ peeps? No jingles needed?
Do you got jobs,
jobs, jobs and jobs? Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. By
the way. The name you were looking for earlier was Arthur
Kent. Also known as the SCADA stud yeah this
guy is good yes yeah, he's looking at his duck and he's
just looking left he's looking right there shooting at him we
we need to be prepared I think we'll have to be doing more of
our our little facsimile bits all right you know what I'm out
in the field putting on my my gas mask?
Yeah STAY TUNED
IN happen Hey, we want to thank all these producers. Yeah, that
was it.
I was hunkered down for a nice long winters nap. No, no such
luck.
He had to Associate Executive producers and 123 execs and
thank those folks for helping make this show work.
Thank you very much and we will be thanking more people who came
in $50 or above in the second the thank you segment and this
is our value for value model you can just listen to the show do
whatever you want if you want to support us go to divorce
act.org/eight and a and other show coming up on Sunday with
your chance to
do that borak.org/and A in the
meantime, you get life saving tips here we call it the formula
our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth
I've got an interest kid couple of interesting little stories
that reveal kind of maybe some changes in the way things are
going to be the way we're going to be told things okay, we had a
bombing in Southern California where yes they believe some
Gettys somebody who hated this woman who ran a studio wasn't
like what kind of studio it was like an exercise place yoga
studio. Yeah. And so
give me some background was anyone because this really
didn't make the newest killed
and by three other people were injured by a bomb. Okay, we
don't know who did it. No, they think it was the ex boyfriend
but they can't prove that so they don't know right now. Okay.
They'll figure it out maybe but let's just listen the way the
story is presented because I got some stuff here. That's kind of
interesting. So this is the bombing in SoCal kill people
this the first clip.
Make sure I got the right one here.
Alex, thank you and tonight to the deadly explosion inside a
building in Southern California authorities revealing a woman
was killed by what appears to be a package that blew up. chaotic
scene the FBI on the scene again tonight. A nearby daycare
evacuated the children holding hands ABCs Cana Whitworth with
what authorities revealed late today.
Tonight authority saying the deadly explosion that rocked a
Southern California Community killing a 40 year old woman was
no accident. Sheriff's OFFICIALS SAY IT'S POSSIBLE ldquo Krein,
aka the Owner of the Day Spa may have been targeted.
Investigators are still working to confirm whether or not this
was an intentional act
at this point. Our working theory
is that this explosion was caused by a device and
intentional acts. Yeah.
Unless packages just blow up randomly. Yeah. And this is just
genius as we think it was caused by a device Yes. Which I find
was kind of interesting in itself. Let's go to clip two.
At this point. Our working theory is that this explosion
was caused by a device
sources a preliminary indicators are that the device was inside a
package that was dropped off at the business at this
time. We do not know how the look how the device arrived at
the location,
the blast killing Kreinik and injuring three others 100
Children evacuated from a daycare across the street,
babies wheeled to safety in their cribs.
Okay, now that's another little little clue. But let's play clip
three and I want you to identify what has to be very concerned
told us.
They do not believe there's a possibility of any other devices
at this point. Right, David? So
they do not believe there's a possibility for any other
devices at this point. And she didn't answer it.
No, I didn't. It wasn't important. Okay. The answer was
no. Right.
What's your concern?
My concern is the sudden use of the word device instead of bomb.
If you listen to this entire report, it was no never the bomb
would the word bomb was never used. And it started with a
package that blew up. And then it became the device a device a
device was a device it was never a bomb. You compare that to the
way they talk about rifles and just you have a rifle. No, it's
not a rifle. It's an assault.
War. How about even the bombs that exploded and awesome. Those
were called bombs. Yeah, the bomb is out.
There one word bomb in this entire report. It was a bomb.
Yeah. The word bomb was never used once. In fact,
the word device kind of underplays the destruction of
it.
Yeah, it's a device is a dildo.
That's that's a toy job. That's not a device. That's a torture
device. There's a lot of devices out there. I mean, there's all
kinds of devices that computers a device or printers, the
device, everything is out anything that has mechanical
workings is a device. To me a bomb is not a device. It's a
it's a bomb.
I give you Yeah, I give you a complete to give you points for
that good catch. And I was listening to you already
mentioned it again. Well, but now when they keep doing it.
That is interesting. The bomb is out.
The bomb is out. Why is that? It's all part of disarming the
country. You know, this is my gonna juice just don't draw
attention to the fact that people can make bombs and
they're a little more deadly, generally speaking, because
they're so random, then an assault weapon. Yeah.
Yeah, you're right. You're right.
Keep an eye out for that little trick like that. Yes. It starts
off with a package that blew up. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Package blew up,
huh? Yeah, they had to happens at a package blow up.
The you got the Trump rotation there in front of the list. I
don't, it's okay. But
I have the new deck altered that list with a new one on it
picked up an addition kind of an expansion of one of the Trump
rotation memes, which was on NPR Senator Mark Warner was
speaking. And I'm just gonna let this play. It's about a minute
and a half and you'll hear it pop up when it happens. And
you'll hear how they're addressing
this. The standard analysis of Putin's motivation is that he
really couldn't stand Hillary Clinton. He saw Bill Clinton as
the man who helped expand NATO. And he saw Hillary Clinton as
the Secretary of State encouraging anti Putin anti
regime protests and so on. But what could possibly be the
motivation to want to have Donald Trump president?
By the way, I think that's a nice question. Finally, from NPR
save so well, if this guy is so unhinged, why did Putin want him
to win master of chaos Russians off? There you go.
I talked about over it.
But what could possibly be the motivation to want to have
Donald Trump president the master of chaos Russians or
Russians or anti chaos?
He's not it's not just chaos. John, He is the master of chaos.
The master of chaos.
That's so I can Beckett I will put the we've got chaos is on
the list. I will put a master of in parens next to it.
I think it's important because this may come back. Because the
word this chaos is throughout this whole report. But it all
comes from the master of chaos, which I guess is just something
he does natural history
of chaos, Russians or Russians or anti chaos. That's that's
certainly characteristic of Putin anti chaos, anti
revolutionary. Why wasn't Donald Trump is president United
States?
Well, I think there are some people that have made guesses in
that area. And I'm not going to get into get into questions
around finances or others, certain people have asserted.
So his assertion is they've got the screws on him because of
money. All right, Senator Warner,
but I would argue, is the worst. He's one of the real bad stooges
and he might be beholden
to Russia.
I'm again, there are our press stories on those accounts. But
again, I'm not validating or invalidating anything until
we're finished with the investigation. But there's
obviously been press speculation. But the thing I
would might disagree with you on your premises, you I don't think
the Russians were necessarily pro one party or another by any
means. But they see that chaos in the West is good for Putin,
both in terms of reasserting Russia's ascension and also
pointing out to their own his own people. Look see how these
democracies they're not really functioning that well. And if
you want America's democracy not function that well to bring in
somebody with Mr. Trump's he'll unusual style. And if you see
the kind of chaos and dysfunction that's happened
since that time, I would argue if their goal was to further
Splinter America get pretty good investment on the ruble.
My goodness. So Putin somehow knew that Trump would just cause
chaos. So that's why that's why he wanted him Okay,
brother, the
master of chaos
like Master kids. So here's Tucker on. He's discussed. I got
two Tucker clips. I'm sorry for that. But I do. One of them. He
drops the ball completely on the on the on the topic, but this
one here he's discussing the Russia assertions. He bases this
little segment on the fact that the Daily Beast, I believe, are
one of those online news magazine says that the Democrats
never wanted to discuss Russia ever. And so he thought he'd
mock that
for sure. Good scene as a lawyer, he advised both of
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns and he joins us
tonight for what's going to be a tough conversation for him. I
would say, Richard, because I don't think it's not really
plausible to make the case that look, you can argue that Russia
hacked our elections, as Democrats have argued for the
last year. They're our main enemy in the world, as they've
also argued, and you know, maybe time will prove you right? I
doubt it. But maybe you can argue if you're a Democrat that
what you really wanted to talk about was the issues. You didn't
really want to talk about Russia. You just happen to talk
about it nonstop for a year. Nobody's gonna believe that
because it's a lie. Well, again, it's the intelligence killed
not.
I saw the segment. Yeah, well, I
dropped the ball on this clip, because I should have had part
one of the clips. Yeah, you should have had the one with it.
I had it I had, I don't know why it's not here with all the
negative bits. Yeah, the edited bits. That's what I clipped it
for. Somehow I screwed up the clip. Okay, nevermind. Now,
let's go with this, though. This is more interesting. This is
Tucker dropping the ball on what I consider to be the most
underreported story that any reporter could just have a ball
with if they really wanted to do anything, but nobody's doing
anything, and he doesn't even care.
And on top of it, the Russia, the Russia investigation, the
key aspect of it, the Russia troll indictment, it's now being
turned into an opportunity for the Russia intelligence
operations should go into federal court and demand
evidence from Mr. Mueller, about what they have on Russian
intelligence operations, namely intervention in our elections.
What a disaster for the rule of law. And frankly, the President
has been victimized through all of this because evidently
there's nothing to justify an investigation of him requiring
Justice Department resources and authorities the way that's been
misused today,
but But I I thought in quickly, but I mean, correct me if I'm
wrong, the whole point of an independent counsel is to assure
the rest of us that the investigation is on the level
that is not tainted by potential conflicts. Given that, why
didn't Muller try harder to at least seem bipartisan? Maybe
hiring one registered Republican as an investigator? He
didn't bother to do that? Isn't isn't? Isn't Muller, a
Republican? Boy, he
might be but that's beside the point. He was handed this little
story which nobody's picking. I mean, a couple of talk show guys
are talking about it. But the troll indictment it turns out,
and of course, he didn't even need to hear this what the guy
just said. I don't know if anybody did but the troll
indictment it turns out that the troll farmers decided to fight
it. So they're coming over Yes, yeah. They're going to demand
theory.
Are you sure it's that I have heard this and has been reported
very,
very slight. I did a bunch of different groups and one of the
groups is coming over but it's not
the troll factory. It's another one but it doesn't matter. Now.
This one one of them are calling the Justice Department on it and
they said well, we need six months to get everything ready
because they indicted without thinking that would ever show
up.
Exactly they indicted without thinking anybody was going to
show up or fight it was it was it was an indictment for show it
was a look at this we're indicting these Russians Oh, I
guess it can't come over to fight the indictment we're just
you know give him find him guilty but at the court level
No, they're coming over to fight it which means now the Justice
Department and and molars group has to provide documentation so
they're gonna just get discovery on these guys. They don't have
time for this. No, they don't want it. But this is like a huge
story because this is a huge it's an amazing embarrassment.
For the for the whole operation. This whole Russia investigation.
They're gonna fight it, they're gonna fight it. They're gonna
come over and fight it. Yeah. And then chuck is just let's
just slide right by.
Well, he's busy man. got other things
to do busy to talk about that.
Too busy. He was prepping for his Thursday night quiz with the
other anchors. Every Thursday night he does like a pop quiz.
Stupid. Yeah. Well, I have heard this and I'm not sure where I
heard it. But they will be interesting
because they're not playing it up. Nobody wants a hush hush
deal. Oh my god. What do we do now? How do we play this? We
don't know. Let's not do a report on it. That's like
this other story. Although it wasn't Rolling Stone magazine.
This I thought this was pretty outrageous. So there was at one
of these Antifa rounds alleys there was this guy who wallop
some kid with a bike lock, you know, a U shaped bike lock and
he cracked his skull. Yeah, he cracked his skull. Oh turn turns
out. Well, the internet went to work for Chan. It's, you know,
really, I guess they were able to do better than special victim
units CSI or whatever, but they were able to figure out who the
guy was. Turns out he's a professor Hold on, let me see.
Where's he from? What school is he from? He's from Bay Area
college professor named Eric Clanton. Not just a professor.
He's an ethics professor who taught philosophy and critical
thinking at Diablo Valley College in the East Bay suburb
of Pleasant Hill. Yeah, that's who's out. That's who's out
there cracking skulls as part of Dragon skull professor. How
about that?
Yeah, well, I think that's big news.
But now I didn't use local news and I never heard this story. Mm
hmm.
Then I got to pick up this this clip from Rachel Maddow, which I
you know, I'm watching MSNBC and Rachel Maddow is pretty hard to
watch.
Like it's very hard to watch. It never gets to her point. And
she's always like, everything's a tease. And everything is a
long story. And she's always so anxious she's just conscious
creeps be anxious Oh, she's this you know, she's she's she's out
she's in your face or that kind of creepy she's creepy
what is what is the definition of anxious I like the word
let's look at it from media from the from the thing
from the thing Oh, you mean the book of knowledge anxious How do
you spell it UNC? I owe us functional anxious.
You at UNC ci o u s i think okay, I'm anxious. I got it.
Nailed it.
Okay, she's ingratiating, flattering she's obsequious
fawning she's finding finds her violating
all right. servile.
Yeah, she's got it's just crazy. She's Creek rapes. She's gushing
there. It is gushing? Well. That's what I think I should use
gushy gushy she's Oh, we got these guys. She's, you know,
she's chumps at Kripa Crump. There's the beginning of the
show.
And Trump, okay. So she had on Professor Jed Sugarman. And this
story is it's a little hard to follow, which is typical Rachel
Maddow. The idea is that there was a deal done. And again, to
benefit the Trump empire, in this case, Jared. And I'm going
to explain how Qatar was roped into this scheme, where Jared
ultimately would wind up with hundreds of millions of dollars
in loans that he needed for some real estate property. But there
was another company mentioned in here, which really made my ears
perk up, and we should see if we can detect what's going on here.
Well, there are a lot of moving parts on this timeline. And it's
true Qatar keeps popping up at various weird moments along the
story. So let's start really briefly with the steel dossier,
which alleged that there was going to be a plan to sell 19%
of this giant oil company that Russia owned as a state oil
company, and to sell 19% and generate commissions to pay off
the Trump people.
Now, with the Trump people, the only time I've heard of this, we
actually laughed at it. Because it was alleged that Carter Page
was going to get the the commission from this 19% sale of
rosneath. So So there's, you know, there's your there's our
point of reference, is that we know this, this did come up in
the steel dossier. As in, this was what Carter Page was going
to get, I think before he even worked for the Trump
Organization for the Trump campaign. But now, we find out
according to this professor, that it was intended for the
Russians to give this money to everyone to pay off everybody in
the Trump campaign, I suppose to lower the sanctions
oil company and to sell 19% and generate commissions to pay off
the Trump people as a quid pro quo for lifting sanctions. So
then jump to after the election, December 2016. First of all,
you've got Kushner and Flynn, trying to set up the secret line
with the Kremlin on December 1, then December 7. This is the key
event Qatar and another company called Glencore from
Switzerland. They actually go ahead and buy 19.5% of that
Russian company rose NIFT.
I found this is why I was interested in Glencore. Isn't
that Mark Rich's old company before he kicked the bucket?
That sounds like it was yes. That's what I'm thinking to,
which is a complete Clinton
operation then. Yeah, totally Clinton.
So the now I'm thinking hold on any collusion,
there seems to be a plan that is connecting the dots. And then
one month later, we get the steel dossier that that shows
that this is this, this plan was coming together. It turns out
when that purchase was made, we didn't know it was Qatar, it was
only revealed later. My speculation is that Qatar was in
on this deal to be the intermediary between Russia and
Trump. They needed a way to get that money to the Trump world.
But then once the dossier gets published in January, Qatar gets
cold feet. Okay. Okay. Then when they start backing out, there is
a gulf crisis with the Saudi Arabia and with the United Arab
Emirates, and the reporting is allegedly Kushner tried to
escalate that crisis. That's April, then you have
that right. How does he do? What kind of powers does he have to
do that? Like the Rubicon story,
he went over then when I'm Jared Kushner, I'm trying to make
everybody pay for this.
This guy can't draw the conclusion that if Glencore is
involved, this was actually a Clinton operation. Thank you.
How can we can't do that? How does all of a sudden, Trump get
associated with Mark Rich's Glencore?
Well, it is very interesting that the FBI released I haven't
read it yet a whole bunch of papers about Bill Clinton's
pardoning of Mark rich. The minute this news breaks, I just
thought that was coincidental. I don't know why all of a sudden
the FBI does that. Why do why all of a sudden do we have this
information about Bill Clinton and his pardoning of Mark rich
of Glencore? could be related, I don't know.
And the reporting is allegedly, Kushner tried to escalate that
crisis. That's April, then you have
Stopstopstop. He makes it he uses the word allegedly
improperly. He says the reporting was a legend. Now the
reporting is recording was the reporting. Yes, you're right.
And I don't know what he's talking about. Allegedly. So
he's gonna control he's unhinge is
when they get start backing out, there is a gulf crisis with the
Saudi Arabia and with the United Arab Emirates. And the reporting
is allegedly Kushner tried to escalate that crisis. That's
April, then you have this. This, these Qatari officials trying to
get back in the good graces with people like Bannon. And
eventually, several months later, finally, there's a $184
million loan that Qatar backs to give to Kushner. So my
speculation is that this deal was in place. Qatar plays that
intermediary role. And December, then the dossier gets published.
They freak out. And then ultimately, when the screws are
turned, they then deliver a loan to Kushner.
I mean, I thought I was crazy. Man, that's off the hinges is
wild. Wild. She's just sitting there with her anxious self
gushing going oh yeah, just that one looked at great
reporting as always. Sure, but you know, that's their truth.
You can't stay in the middle of it. It's just it's just it's not
possible. We've broken truth. And that's what's happened here.
We have we broken it broken truth and truth.
Somebody broke it. I don't think we did. You know,
the apparently the guy who stole the
CIA hacking tools? Oh, yeah, the tools.
Wasn't it wasn't it? Wasn't it? The NSA is hacking tools.
I don't remember whose tools they were. I think I don't
remember. So I'll look it up and see like figure it out.
Apparently, a former CIA employee was now currently being
held in Manhattan jail on unrelated charges. Gee, you know
what happened to this guy? So the they're accusing him of
stealing the hacking tools. And then all of a sudden he's in
jail on charges of possessing receiving and transporting child
pornography. Yes, he has a server Yeah. A server filled
with porn.
Sure. Here's the Washington Post headlines us identify suspect in
Major League of CIA hacking tools. I thought it was only a
hacking tool. Okay, now in Vault seven of WikiLeaks
vault seven, yes, that's it. I thought that was NSA. But
anyway, and
every day I'm looking at the whole I saw CIA, the NSA is is
good to go. Now, there were hacking tools are intact.
No, there was a huge story in The New York Times about the NSA
is hacking tools being stolen.
Okay, wow, I could be wrong. They've reached they rejiggered
the story. So it's not CIA.
Doesn't matter because the guy has kiddie porn. That's all we
need to know. Man. You know, you keep saying the White House is
bugged. Oh, yeah. I gotta think you're really right about this.
You know, this. The story about actually was in New York, New
York Magazine. Donald Trump and Sean Hannity liked to talk
before bedtime. And it's, it says this whole typical New York
Magazine very long story about how Trump you know, after he's
done at seven, he goes up, you know, separate room Melania is
not even near him. She sleeps in a separate bedroom. And he calls
Sean Hannity after show he gets up in the morning. He didn't
know exactly what he's doing know exactly what he's saying.
This can't this is not just some leak. I'm with you now. with you
now. There's definitely something bugged out of the
whole place is because this detail is pretty amazing. I'm
not saying it's not true. More
than one agency. That's the joke of it. It's probably two or
three guys. They go looking for bugs and they find when they
better keep looking.
This is a row of gray vans in front of the White House. Pay no
attention to
us. We're just hanging watches Wi Fi FBI surveillance fan. One
of those again. Yeah.
See, I've got we did him. Oh, yeah. This is back. We've
actually this took place yesterday.
New Hampshire Senator Maggie house and says a vote on a
measure to reinstate Net Neutrality rules could come as
soon as Wednesday. The regulations that required
internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally
will end in June, after an FCC repeal has been met yesterday
with New Hampshire based organic yogurt maker Stonyfield farm to
hear concerns. The end of net neutrality could affect small
dairy farmers in the region.
farmers who are operating on pretty small margins now have to
pay even more to get the kind of speed on the internet that they
need to be competitive. This could really be debilitating to
them.
She says she's hearing from 1000s of constituents who are in
support of restoring net neutrality.
I thought I heard all the examples. You got me on this
one? Oh, I
say restoring what?
Think of the dairy farmers. Yeah, think of the dairy farms,
restoring what nothing has changed. was no net neutrality.
And no, no, they want to restore it. Oh, okay. I'm all in on
that. Oh, yeah. They should restore it. What
you're what you're referring to is the fact that nothing was
ever implemented. And everything just hobbled along quite nicely.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, there was never nothing was ever established. It was
never established. I just
love the dairy farmers. You know, they're gonna get screwed
over net neutrality because they can't function fast enough.
I don't know what they can't maybe the cow milking machines
are all remotely done by remote.
I don't know. What are they doing?
What do they make any sense? It's a stupid story.
But it's not just a story. There's a there's a
representative in the story. She's bringing it she's bringing
the dairy farmers in Don't worry. I'm gonna save you will
get net neutrality on track and you'll build flourish.
Yeah, just an anti Trump story. Well, it is.
So I have a couple of clips display. Well, first of all,
let's get one news story out of the way which is a $500 million.
Yeah, Michigan. Say one Yeah, that's it settled man. Wait a
minute, this this 334 women I believe in Boston, they're all
gonna get over a million dollars. At least and
prop data store and the problem and the story goes away.
What do you think about this? Well, I'll play the whole store
and then I'm going to still ask us this question. What do you
think it is about this story that has me perturbed
settlement half a billion dollars for hundreds of young
women many of them gymnasts, who say they were targeted by a
predator doctor a man they trusted to take care of him and
bases and Thompson has details on the new payout from Michigan
State University.
Even more nice and nice is the pain of experience flashback
nightmares of the abuse
theory. That drove Michigan State University to reach a half
billion dollar settlement with 332 Women who say they were
sexually abused by Dr. Larry Nasser, a former employee
Nasser's victims overwhelmingly young female gymnasts, Larry
Nasser. I hate you, like 15 year old Emma Ann Miller. I'm just
glad
that MSU is finally starting to work with us and not against us
for my sister's survivors. I'm just hoping that this will bring
them some peace.
Other women say they told the university about Nasser as far
back as 21 years ago, but nothing was done. In the
settlement, the survivors will split $425 million individual
payouts to be determined by a mediator. The other 75 million
set aside for victims who have yet to come forward MSU calling
it responsible and equitable adding they are working every
day to prevent sexual misconduct. But Rachel den
Hollander, the first woman to publicly accused Nasser in his
statement says she's deeply disappointed at the missed
opportunity for meaningful reform at the university tonight
contested lawsuits remain for the other groups. Nasr worked
with USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee, and coaches
Bella and Marta Karolyi. As does the pain money can't erase. Ken
Thompson, NBC News.
I didn't like the 75 million part of the story. Well,
I didn't bother me. But but there's two things. Well, first
of all, they, their the way this story goes is almost as though
they're just paying off a bunch of whores. And it's just a
million dollars, you're getting a lot of money for their sexual
work. That's one of the things I think there's an undercurrent.
Well, yeah,
there's, there's no, there's no, there's no other blowback
against the school or any of the people
out there. And that, which is what one of the girls said. And
I think that's very important. But what really kind of
perturbed me just ignoring all the rest of it is this public
institution, they have a half a billion dollars to throw away on
one of these loans in a situation like this. And they're
always begging for money and asking, oh, you know, we need,
we need the alumni to step up. And then this sort of thing
happens. And what always bothers me this happens at the city
level, is what happens at the tech, especially with taxpayer
money. This happens when you know, you have a corrupt police
department. And some guy, you know, is just a bad actor. And
then the city has to pay out $10 million to some victim and the
cop goes away and gets a job someplace else. Well, they make
him pay.
Yeah, they it's the same with the with the rules in Congress.
They still never worked that out. Did they ever fix it? So
they
have there's still Yeah, the US taxpayer is still paying when a
congressman does some some hope of horrid thing that needs to be
bought off. You have to pay someone off. We're paying for
that. Why is the Congressman paying for it? This whole thing
just bugs me and because I have this University of California is
over here. And they're, you know, they're building new
buildings and getting new buildings and new buildings and
keep building and building and building and then and then dip
turns out that the jet now apart and Apollo tunnel was read
reported recently as $184 million slush fund that can't be
accounted for. And there's nothing there's still nothing's
come of that if that's California,
it's a whole nother country. You live in some weird country. I
always imagine I live in a banana republic with nothing but
corrupt officials.
I'm telling you, man, did you? Well, I'm not gonna say it
anymore. Send them all here to Austin. So you'll be safe and
I'll have to leave Austin.
Now the funny guys keep saying is send them to Austin. Now, now
that you mentioned this kind of fleeing from problem areas. I
want I have an interpretation of a story that really didn't get
much play in American media. But the Rockefeller a David
Rockefellers family, sold off the entire, nearly a billion
dollars worth of art in their Manhattan house compound was
just
one house, right? It wasn't there in one house. It wasn't
their entire collection. It was just one house
yet. Well, it was it was a big collection though. It was
David's collection. It was a monster. But let's play. Just
play the clip and I'll tell you what, I'm thinking
this the greatest Matisse to come to market in 50 years, sold
for over $80 million. In this Monet from the Impressionists
water lilies series brought in more than $84 million to
have on the same night records for two of the geniuses of
painting Matisse and Monet, something that I never imagined
would happen.
Their fame and fortune David and Peggy Rockefeller amassed one of
the greatest art collections and filled their family homes with
rare treasures. The top lot was Picasso's masterpiece young girl
with a flower basket, which hung for decades in the family's New
York library. It fetched $115 million. Other highlights
included this early portrait of George Washington and furniture
and precious porcelain, including An ice cream bowl that
belonged to Napoleon. This high profile sale attracted the
biggest collectors and newcomers. It showed the
continued strength of the art market, but also the enduring
power of the Rockefeller name. meditel feet BBC News,
New York. Well, okay. I'm
looking at this. And I'm seeing that there's no reason to sell
any of these pieces to money laundering.
No,
they're getting in cash.
This is big JC that they have different access to information
that we don't have. They see a bank in a situation where cash
is king and they get their day taken art is not the end you
know, art is a is a boom bust business. It goes up it goes
down it goes up it goes down. If you have art I'd sell it now.
Unless you know you're waiting for
I was thinking of selling the no agenda art generator for that
very reason. Got some cash.
So this enforces you don't own the Art Generator? No, of
course. But we have. It's just I'm just seeing this as infuse
Oh, static cache data cache was telling you that beats? Yeah, so
yeah. Now you see, I'm saying the Rockefeller family, this
part of the family at least, dumping nearly a billion dollars
worth of fantastic art, which, if things keep going the way
they're going, should be worth twice as much in five years,
dumping it for cash. Qantas, I'm just looking at that as it's
kind of a signal to maybe rethink your and you're
reminding me all the time, because you keep telling me to
sell my properties. Yeah. But it's there may be a time to
start thinking about going.
You know, well, do you do you think the property is in danger
if the
actually property property release real estate, real
estate? Is like a fixed amount of it. And I don't believe it
has the same you know, it's not the same as as Bitcoin or stock.
That was a physical thing. It's a physical thing is like gold,
gold would be another positive.
When you say cash, like actual physical cash or just cash.
I'm thinking, wow, well, they may put that into bonds, or they
may do something else with it, obviously, you know, just sit on
bunch of cash, and maybe not, but they're definitely getting
out of art and going into what looks like cash. So that's a big
signal to the market. It's a big signal to me. I don't know, but
then nobody else played this at all. Sorry, aren't they sold?
You've got art.
Yeah, I do. I do. I don't sell any of it. The million dollars
now? Of course not. But I have a couple pieces I'm probably going
to sell and I got some wine I'm going to sell. Oh man. But not
that much.
I can't believe you're going to sell some wine before I've
tasted it.
I get a lot of wine to sell. Yeah.
I love that about you. Yeah, he's collects art. Collects
wine. Wears crocs. I mean, you're just an amazing man.
Yeah, I
got to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and why don't you stop for one second. Why go get the note from
anonymous. Who This should bring me to knighthood as well. Oh,
wait, wait, we're No. I get to this. While you're getting my
Oh, you read it. You read this first and I will get the note
from the guy.
All right. The first one we have is Zachary Stanko. Oh, yes.
No. Yeah. Oh, no, Zack Khristenko. I need to note Hang
on.
I have my I have my note too. We both received a note and we got
gifts from Zachary. Ah ha Yep. He told me we splays a lot of
it. Yes. Do crock pot and Buzzkill. Now, Zachary, by the
way lives in Omaha, Nebraska send us $150 for the show. And
he said and I got a nice care package. The other day, crock
pot and Bosco previously sent some Russian paraphernalia
including a 1936 constitution some Soviet postage stamps, a
challenge coin plus a few other items. I found some more random
items. I thought it'd be fun to send to you too. For Adam and I
have received these and I love San Antonio pin. Which is not
something you were in Austin, but I appreciate it. State of
Texas pin Yep. 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games pin, a brief
illustrated guide to understanding Islam which I will
be reading from this. It's it's a very it's a small very fun
book, and a 1996 MTV Video Music Awards swag bag watch, which is
great because we never got any of the swag.
Oh, that's funny. Yeah, you always say I had the same thing
that I'll read my list in a second. But when I was at PC
Magazine and these other magazines and ziphone they
always had the Swags that the swag base they gave to people.
But if you know if you're more Going there, but if you work
there you never get
anything that's like on the on the face bag MTV alum group from
time to time they go. Oh look, I found all these watches from the
video musical. Oh look, I've got this leather jacket, all of
that. And these are all interns. They're all like jerk offs in
the studio and they've got all the cool stuff.
Yeah, it's ridiculous whenever he goes up for me sent me a John
F Kennedy pin, a Hulk noisemaker which I'll bring up and usually
bring to class next time it's cheapest junk you've ever seen.
Tenant healthcare Salvation Army coin against a coin a Desert

I got better gifts
I think
I got a 64 UC Berkeley pamphlet populism nostalgic or
progressive This is more than a pamphlet is a small publication
I have to read this it'll be good for the book. Now the rest
of this stuff is junk this condom he does mention
he's got a shipping envelope for you to send the previously sent
Baghdad airport challenge coin to me yeah
yeah yeah says that I don't remember this point. Okay, but I
have the all these coins so I'll look into if I see a Baghdad
challenge going I'll send it to you
yes, they're gonna be worth cash one day
so I think so I think what we should do because of all these
little things is took a lot of work to package this I was
confused that he had sent me your stuff. I'm glad you got to
note that we up into Associate Executive Producer for this
show.

that at the end was the friend worse you should we don't know
either.
And by the way, for people wondering what a challenge coin
is,
so why don't you explain it yeah, this
started I think really started in the military where your unit
would have a coin and it's just a in the more the prettier the
coin looks the better and people would swap these out amongst
themselves but the original mission as the original intent
was you after you were in your unit and you went away you would
keep this challenge coin and if you ever wind up in a bar with
someone else from the unit or from the club or the group that
could challenge you and you have to show your challenge coin
whoever does not have the challenge coin has to buy the
drinks that is the way I understand the original
challenge coin and I think that is the way is mostly purpose and
we've had many of them just we have being being newly
challenged we didn't sell but we we had a bunch of people make
them Eric the shielded a two of them. We
had crazy coins. I don't I've had some of them. I don't even
think I have all of the ones that were out there. Yeah, we
had the geocache coin. We had all kinds of stuff.
And then a bunch of people sent us CIA coins. I don't know if
they have an NSA, CIA piggy bank two
now that was a gift.
Yeah, that I didn't get one of those. But yeah, that's where
the challenge coin is. And they're very collectible kind of

there's a net worth millions in cash one day.

we have two nice things. So this is good if you can. You can put
that you can put down the recorder. And just to get it
grab, grab your blade. Thank you. All right up on stage we'd
like Henry Cunningham and anonymous. Both of you have
supported the no agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more
that brings you to the level of knighthood. You get your ring
you get your status and you get to cheer right here at the
roundtable. The Knights names in here for at therefore, I'm very
proud to announce the K v. Sir Henry Cunningham, and Sir 1034
Gentlemen, for you we have hookers and blow rent boys and

that gives us something to retweet I
don't want to be You
and I apologize to Sir Nick of the Great Lakes. I completely
forgot to mention him on the last show. He had a title change
he's upgraded to Baronet and we congratulate him for that change
in his periods. If you want to check out all the peerage of the
Knights and Dames go to itm.im/peerage. And since we
don't do much advertising, it's always fun to see what's going
on with the world who
any advertising did i What did I say? Much shout None. No, I'm
sorry. We advertise for ourselves. The big up fronts are
coming for the television networks. And the upfront is
where they try to do deals with big advertisers get them you
know, give them cut rate deals, hey, support the show, so they
can actually know if there's enough money to run the show.
And apparently, all of the big networks are chopping their
commercial time per hour, some up to 50% in order to keep quote
Millennials watching because the geniuses at NBC and Fox and ABC
and CBS have decided that the reason why millennials are not
watching is because they're watching everything on the
streaming services and don't mind waiting a week until it
pops up on Hulu or, or on Amazon or on Netflix. And I think this
is I think this is very significant development is not
like they're going to up their prices by 50%, I presume? I
don't know. I find
the whole thing. baffling. baffling?
Yeah, why baffling?
I mean, right from the get go? Why the Millennials don't watch
TV.
Exactly. This is not that they should be doubling down. The
only people who are watching TV are well over 50. I think that's
the mean except for the dwindling 1824 demo. But this
gone, you've lost it.
And it's and it's
nice geniuses think they can do it. They think they can
recapture their I think they've you know they've allotted like
we said on the show, the reason old people watched network news
is because Network News has ads for old people. It's it's
compelling. So they've come they've catered to old people
because they want to sell these drugs. And obviously, they're
charging top dollar for these ads.
And
they probably figured they can turn on a switch and all of it
and make all the millennials suddenly want to watch the news.
But I think they've let them slide for so long. I think you
might be right, they've lost a major loss. We're just gonna
take a look, you know, there's an old rule of marketing, it's
easier to keep a customer than to regain a lost customer, or
get a new one. Well, no, getting a new one is easier. Oh, it's
easier to get a new customer or regain it or to maintain a
customer and then regaining a lost customer. You lose it
customers harder to get them back than anything else. And
they've lost his whole group.
And the thing is, it's a technological loss. I mean, when
will they not see this? Or when will they see this? It's It's
It's purely the technology that has overruled them.
I mean, it's the same shows. Yeah, well, they don't get that
either. But there seems to be some messaging going on a debt
to this crowd. And I want to play this clip because I've been
carrying it for a while. This is the anti college message that
all of a sudden is showing up on NBC and this is an example
high school junior Rayleigh Nicholson sounds like a natural
for college A's in honors classes, high marks on college
boards. But the 17 year old says she's better suited for
something else. A two year technical program to become a
diesel mechanic.
People did try to push me towards a four year school. And
you said not for me.
Riley's passion is fixing old cars. I like puzzles.
I like figuring out where pieces fit. And I like taking things
apart and figuring out how they work.
While courts are now advising some students to think hard if a
four year degree is right for them, why 40% of those who
enroll failed to graduate in six years. 30% end up in jobs that
don't require a bachelor's and 28% with a two year degree earn
more than the average college graduate in jobs like computer
programming, and airplane mechanics.
These are good jobs. About half of our labor market has jobs
like this mid skilled jobs, and many of them pay quite well.
disappointed at
first, but really his mother says she's not anymore. I'd
rather have her do something that she enjoys, that she won't
get tired of and be happy with her life. Really Nicholson has a
large degree of confidence.
I want to go sit in a classroom for another four years. I want
to be out of work and
she's on the right track. crema Ellis NBC News, Charlotte Roy
Pennsylvania, huh?
On that very peculiar report.
Well, just as a follow up regarding the jobs, I wanted to
get crabcakes the other day. And there were no crabcakes I'm
like, What's your Broseph? What's up with you? crabcakes
says, ah, we won't have any until the end of next month at
that the earliest I'm like, because you know, they make them
at the at the supermarket. And there are I've had them before
they're good. So why now we don't have a lot of crab really.
And we also don't have certain nuts and certain fruits and
berries and like what's going on? This is Whole Foods. I will
I will point out to what's going on. Because of the ban.
Actually, the way it came out was well, because of Trump and
the h one h two B visas are being either slow down or held
up and they they do not have enough workers to get these
these particular jobs done that somehow deliver crab cakes and
nuts and berries. And and I think it's there's even some
striking going on. There's some unionized stuff. And anyway,
it's the bottom and we have to look into this. We need to know
more. But the bottom line is produce is not showing up
because of immigration policy. And I guess, how jobs are
distributed or what jobs people want to do.
Have you heard any of this? No, no, we got plenty of fruit and
vegetables here.
Well, you guys live there. You that's where that that's where
it all is. When you want me to move out? No, send me some nuts.
Katie Couric has a new show on MSN on NBC.
As you already do it, she's upgraded her podcast.
Well, she had to I mean, they've lost they've lost their
superstars. They lost Matt, you know, they've they gotta be
careful what's going on there at NBC. They need some names they
need some faces need some star power celebrities. And she's got
this thing called what is the is it America inside out I think is
the name of the show. It's a long form. And she went to see
what was going on with this concept of white privilege in
colleges.
Awful lot has changed since I graduated from college almost
Gulf 40 years ago. There's a new vocabulary that wasn't around
when I was younger, Safe Space microaggression trigger warning,
no platform white privilege. To better understand what that
means. I came to Columbia to participate in something called
a privilege walk.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to read a series of
statements and the statements will ask you to either move
forward or move backward if something applies
to you. Let's just
say they're all standing side by side on a white line in an
auditorium and they have to close their eyes while they do
this. And then any statement they agree with they either walk
forward one step if they agree or if they if it's not them or
they don't agree step back.
Please take one step forward. If your parents told you you could
be anything you want it to be one step back if your ancestors
were forced to come to the United routinely see members of
your religion want to raise awareness was unemployed or mass
you have multiple parents available think twice about
calling the police when trouble happens. And then I'm going to
ask you to open your eyes. You can look around the room now.
Katie Couric is upfront. Right up front. People are barred.
Yeah, like 10 paces behind her.
And I want you to think about how you're feeling right now.
Guilty, guilty. And lucky,
guilty. And lucky. He was really and I love that montage of the
questions. Just kind of mixed it all together. You know? Did your
ancestors yours? Were they brought here involuntarily.
Yeah. So that's it. There you go. Your white privilege at
work?
Yeah, there it is. In a nutshell, feel guilty hurts the
worst. Fire her immediately.
People love Katie Couric.
Let's see pick this up on Jeopardy.
Before and after 2000 Russian president who's an Irving Berlin
song that says, Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with
sticks. Jake, who is Vladimir Putin on the riffs? That's
right.
Bill blue and you don't know where this fake news Why don't
you get your get mo fix.
I love how they steal our material. It's
like a million dollar true. Trying not to look like Anderson
Cooper. Calm let's mix with John Podesta walks with kids. I mean
pizzas in his mid boot and on the roads.
Outstanding catch. Here's a sorting catch us up with
something like a pet peeve of mine emerges from this clip
pedestrian deaths.
I wonder what it has advanced anything to do with OTG.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released a new
report this week showing an alarming rise in pedestrian
deaths. nearly 6000 people were head and killed by vehicles in
2016. That's a 46% jump since 2009 in the highest number since
1990. Chris Van Cleef looked into this.
In March, a woman in Tempe Arizona was killed by a self
driving Uber while crossing the street. The SUV sensors detected
her but failed to react in time. A new IIHS report finds it's
part of a larger trend. pedestrian deaths jumped 46%
Since 2009 46% is huge. It is a huge number. David Harkey, the
president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. He
says about 75% of the deaths happened at night.
The increases that we're seeing on our busiest streets and our
urban and suburban areas we think part of that is is because
we haven't properly designed our roadways.
Roadways parking says often lack enough equipment to alert
drivers and pedestrians and enough safe convenient places to
cross
we need to provide more locations for them to cross to
better
protect pedestrians, car companies are adding innovative
technology,
this system will activate between about 15 and 30 miles
per hour.
Martin Hayes is the chief engineer for the Buick Regal,
his team has developed this active hood safety feature
it can sense and respond in about 20 milliseconds, deploy
these hinges, raise the whole hood up in this area about four
inches, we're raising the impact zone closer, so there's less
potential speed that your head would be when you make contact
with the hood.
I recommend improving headlight performance to better light up
the road and expanding automatic braking.
Ah, I see lots of dead children in our future. Here's what it
gets me.
There's a couple of things here besides the fact they threw in
this gratuitous slam against Uber which had nothing to do
with the story is when I was a kid and they make this comment
75% of these accidents happened at night. I don't know about
you. But driving around especially in like a city area.
75% of that happens at night because people are wearing all
black outfits. They're just wearing all black Jay head to
toe black, black, black, you can't see these people. Now when
I was a kid, there used to be all these public service
announcements were white at night. Don't wear white at
night. Nobody wears white they all wear black. So you can see
in the wilderness all these accidents. I mean, give me a
break. You can't see a person wearing all black on a very
dimly lit street at night.
It my problem is they want to solve part of this at least with
technology. And I've been against this ever since I saw
the Cirrus airplane which has a ballistic parachute. Because it
makes light. Right, right. It makes people complacent. It's
just like the Tesla. It makes you complacent. i The technology
will take care of it. And oh yeah, you know, if I run out of
gas, I can always pull the chute is fine. So now we're going to
be driving my car is going to keep everybody safe. But
Professor Ted knows better. This is not how it will end.
Well, you have your complaint, I have mine. combined. There have
one good complaint.
So we had to gripe about Uber. There's stuff going on with
Tesla
big news Kailyn came late Friday, when Bloomberg confirmed
that Doug field who was one of just four, you know, senior
executive officers named and Tesla's proxy is on some kind of
leave of absence. And we're not quite sure for how long he will
be on leave. But that's a really big deal. Doug has been in
charge of manufacturing and has really just been a key player at
Tesla for all of these years. Today, we got a memo from Elon
Musk that he's announcing some kind of reorganization of the
company. And this was something that he alluded to the last
earnings call, but there aren't any details yet as to what that
really means. And I think that, you know, if you look at Tesla
over the past year, year and a half, there have just been a
string of departures that continue and, you know,
typically when someone leaves, they announced their
replacement, but that hasn't happened recently. So we have
Doug field on leave Matthew swallow, who was a key person on
the auto pilot team is now at Waymo. And then this reorg has
everyone asking like, well, what, you know, what are the
changes next? You know, one thing that's very difficult
about Tesla, is that a lot of people don't really know who the
executives are. There's no listing on the website of who
the named executives are. And there's not a lot of
transparency as to what positions people are filling.
Oh, you are. Yeah, meltdown, I think. Well,
I noticed that way Mo is Is poaching a lot of the Tesla
folks?
Yeah, but that goes on at a time when I don't think it's very
handy for the for the organization for people like
that to be leaving.
We'll see. Musk does a pretty good job of keeping things under
control. The royal wedding is this Saturday.
I'll be watching.
Oh, sure you will. Yeah. I have one clip because I thought this
was kind of funny. It's about the half brother and the poison
pen letter he wrote,
oh, yeah, he was telling the prince don't do it.
Don't marry this woman. She's no good. But let's play this clip
to weigh in tonight who will walk Meghan Markel down the
aisle? Will it be her mother? Will it be someone else? As we
now learn her father has undergone a heart procedure.
Here's ABC is James Longman from London again tonight.
Tonight, Megan Merkel's mother arriving in London getting ready
for the big day. Just as newsbreaks of her ex husband's
health Mr. Markel, telling TMZ. He's now had three stents
inserted in his blood vessels following a heart attack last
week, the website saying he's alert and coherent, but it's
still unclear if he'll make it to the wedding.
You know, everything about him being under an incredible amount
of stress is through
Michael telling TMZ. He believes his heart attack was brought on
by an open letter. Megan's half brother penned to Prince Harry,
urging him to call off the wedding calling Meghan shallow
and conceited. Just one of the attacks launched by her half
siblings. Painful for Megan and Harry, but royal experts say the
queen is likely taking it all in stride,
the Queen has more experienced than anyone in the world of
negative media. This is not something that's gonna ruffle
her feathers,
the palace now revealing new details about the wedding.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who stole the show
the day they visited their new baby brother will serve as
pageboy and bridesmaid reprising their roles expertly performed
at their aunt Pepper's wedding. It's unclear why Megan's father
is still not speaking through official channels. A lot of
uncertainty with just days to
go. David James your thanks to you again tonight. Friday night
we'll be anchoring from London and Robin Roberts and I first
thing in the morning Saturday morning 5pm DVRs are just join
us coffee.
Oh yeah, plug it I failed
to understand how in this age of empowerment for women. This is
still something where people get all jiggy with it.
Especially women way I was stunned. I was stunned that he
would call her shallow and conceded. And she's an actress.
Why would an actress ever be that way?
I will tell you when someone warns you not to marry someone
who's an actress. You should listen to them but seriously,
let me read a paragraph from the I have the letter in front of me
it's pretty funny this guy he see now he denounces the letter
this brother has really just my father will never recover
financially just hates his sister because she's somewhat
successful in a family of apparently trailer trash. It
seems friendly financially from Megan's from paying Megan's way,
nor emotionally from disavowing him. Meg is showing her true
colors. It is very apparent that her and this is a caddy part is
very apparent from her tiny bit of Hollywood fame has gone to
her head, changing her into a jaded, shallow conceited woman
that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage.
So again, that everyone's going off nutty over this and by the
way, the royal wedding is the British royal wedding. I'm sure
there are other royal weddings but okay, good point. Good
point. But in che in this age, in this age of empowerment, I
mean, we all know that life she's going to live the life of
a princess, the life of just sit at home, eat bonbons and shut up
and dress up pretty. Where's the empowerment and why are we all
giddy over this? It's it flies it flies in the face of
everything women have been fighting for
flies in the face of Americanism. We've always hated
the the Royals and the hate. We don't We love the Royals but we
technically should be hating them because they're the ones
who were like Dom You know, we had to rebel against to get get
our own thing going on. Yeah, we
kicked their ass. Yeah, well, now we're now we're going ooh.
Till they came back in 1812 and burned down the White House, but
those candidate two if
five years ago, I had come to you. I had gone on CNN And
sorry, we're talking about Bohemian Grove and secret
societies. What do you think what happened? I don't know. Do
you think I would get kicked off the air? conspiracy theorist?
If you were a conspiracy theorists Well, you got kicked
off the air for Diamond by the death of Michael Jackson
right but but how about specifically about Boeing?
Five years ago no 10 years ago, maybe five years ago not so much
what
if, as an anchor from CNN was talking about what if an anchor
from CNN wrote a book about it? About what GM growth Jake Tapper
wrote a book called the Hellfire Club. It's fictional, but it
seems like it's based on some beliefs of Jake's now
you know a lot about what's going on in Washington are there
you think secret societies in Washington? I'm not talking
about, you know, from college days or anything along those
lines? I don't know
of any. I mean, I know the ones that you've heard of, you know,
the grid iron is not a secret society. The alfalfa club is not
a secret society. But there's Bohemian Grove, there's
Bilderberg I mean, there are those. But what I know of
wealthy men, I can't imagine that there are not secret
societies. The Hellfire Club, in the book, and in real life, was
originally in the 1700s. In England, it was a very real
secret society in which they engaged in the most debaucherous
acts. People in the royal family and politicians and business
people would go to the state about an hour outside of London
and engage in mock synchronistic rituals and orgies. And they
would also, you know, create these alliances where they all
had dirt on each other because they were all part of this
secret society, while they also form forged these friendships.
And when I heard that Benjamin Franklin had actually attended
one of these Hellfire Club orgies. I thought to myself,
this is the genesis of the book. Well, what if Ben Franklin then
took that back with him to the United States, knowing that he
had something of a little bit in this attitude towards life, and
also, that maybe he saw some functionality to such an
organization? And then what if that extended and lasted longer
than just the 1700s but actually was present and in the 20th
century? So that's, that's how that started. There have to be
these clubs. There have to be How could there not be what we
know every time I pick up a newspaper, there is some rich
man being brought down for some horrific behavior. Why would we
not think that they're really put well connected in the really
wealthy are not doing this but you know, in private places
where they can call it.
Jake Tapper backup co host?
I would, I would wonder Where's, you know, the one thing he did,
there was a Hellfire Club in New York, which is a crime bar in
the 80s that you could go to that if you knew about it, there
was no way somebody had they give you very detailed
instructions. And it was an s&m place. And there was a Plato's
retreat in New York City. necrophiliac place. No, no, the
necrophilia club which was which was a club and I believed I
think Tennessee Williams was the progenitor of that, that thing
it was it was based on a it was in the back of a mortuary. The
Plato's retreat was this just this orgy was a 24. Buck Henry
wrote a long article about it. I think, in Playboy, he visited
that, and there's these other events, but these are all sex
clubs. And they many of them kind of disappeared after the
AIDS crisis showed up and then all of a sudden, the sex clubs
all disappeared, along with the bathhouses, power station, San
Francisco. There's a whole slew of these if you want to know a
lot about them. I know too much, it seems. But but they've all
you know, tappers either either plugged into this they wouldn't
use the Hellfire Club. This is not the same as a bunch of guys
plotting something or other. I mean, I don't associate The
Bilderbergers with a drinking club. Actually, they are
drinking or drinking club. I don't he's not touching the rim.
Maybe there is something either way he claims there's this
there's got to be the secret clubs.
I don't think so. You don't think they're secret clubs?
I don't I think there's a lot of clubs and I think some of them
are kind of under the under the radar. But I don't think any of
them are like totally secret like it used to be with the
class calling bones
is
it's not secret we know
about it. We don't know exactly what they do and their little
bird what they do and it's kind of kind of creepy. Kind of
creepy and gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. But you
know, involves a lot of masturbation in public.
Supposedly nice but we know a bunch Yeah, I don't know of
anything. This is so secretive. I mean, name would show me some
of this in one of these things is bullcrap. Okay, that's my
opinion. Okay. I just don't see any evidence of it. I mean,
there are places you have, you know, not a secret club, but you
have like some some group like that, that that character from
India that took over that Southern Oregon area, Raj Nish,
whatever his name was, and he had all these Rolls Royces. And
he, they just, you know, they took over a town people can do
that, for in counties got all kinds of interesting, weird
corruption that's based on a clique. And there's a book that
was written by one of our local guys, Tom Bates and some other
left wingers. I think it was written in the 60s very
impossible to get a hold of called the wealth of cities, the
wealth of citizens kind of joke on the other book, The Wealth,
the city, The Wealth of Nations. The wealth of city shows how is
a left a bunch of left wingers and I've seen this in play. If
you get enough people together, you can just go into it's a
small area, start running for office, take over the town,
bring your buddies in his starts stealing the money, get more
government grants is just steal the money. And as a result,
that's what this book was all about. It was how to do it. And
I think that's gone on in a number of places in California
is filled with little towns that have stolen the money. They put
people in extremely overpaid jobs. Vallejo is a good example
when it went broke. And they saw what they were paying everybody
was
Ross Yeah. Well, I think the sex thing is that they get everybody
into the same weird sex stuff. And then you all kind of protect
each other. That seems to be a common denominator here.
Speaking of books,
pedophile argument to
Yes. Tom Wolf passed away. Yes, man. Have we? Whenever we had a
writer since like Tom Wolfe.
I mean, he had the biggest kick at a time with I ran into him a
couple of times he
that just just for people don't know, he wrote a Bonfire of the
Vanities, the electric Kool Aid acid test,
he wrote a lot of very important books. Yeah. But I remember when
Bonfire of the Vanities came out. And it was a big
controversy, too, is it was some editor at his publishing
company, you know, that guy can't write. And I had to
rewrite everything. It was terrible until I got a hold. I
remember this very distinctly. And then somebody got into a, it
was an online thing early online. And it was the 80s I
think. And I looked at all the he wrote the whole book and the
New Yorker magazine, chapter by chapter. And if you compare that
magazine to the book that difference, the edits aren't
that profound? And then now he's been calling the most creative
writers ever. Oh, yeah.
When we're dead and gone will be called the geniuses. Yeah, the
podcasts way, way ahead of their time, the Milton
berle's of podcasting. There you go.
There is a serious threat though, for our dudes named Ben.
And I want to just discuss this briefly I have a memo here. Now
importance high it is to all it associates in this particular
organization. I find this somewhat concerning and I think
any organization that does this needs to think twice as part of
tasks. To improve our security. We have selected a new cloud
based antivirus tool called Falcon from CrowdStrike
security. You remember those guys, this is a next generation
and this is a next generation antivirus solution that uses
behavioral analytics and machine learning to block malware
attacks. The Ops team will be starting the development of
Falcon this week with the UK and South Africa already underway.
We will be using your SCCM environment to roll out the
cribes CrowdStrike sensor which is a small lightweight agent
that has no client interface. The management and configuration
of the sensor is done via the cloud management portal by the
ops team. I do not foresee any major performance degradation
issues with this deployment however if you do suspect Falcon
is impacting your computer please raise an incident it's an
incident via
the Get Help page but not using it at all.
Well not only first of all centralizing your your entire
malware protection seems like a bad idea. But he's got very bad
idea but they're also deploying it with something that is
effectively malware. And what are the dudes named Ben going to
do me just sit back while everything's now deployed by
CrowdStrike
I don't see as
disaster waiting. I agree
with you. This is a this is a big big mistake. Especially
these guys. When they're pew pew threat Matthew pew pew kind of
walk Proper they spew and all over everybody, and work and
what is up, man, people hate Bezos Senator Bernie
Sanders though he's going after Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos watch.
According to Time Magazine, from January 1 through May 1 of this
year, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, saw his wealth increase
by $275 million every single day, for a total increase in
wealth of $33 billion dollars in a four month period. Meanwhile,
1000s of Amazon employees are forced to rely on food stamps,
Medicaid and public housing, because their wages are just too
low. Yeah,
Murca. Bernie, but everyone hates Bezos now. Have you been
following the Seattle homeless tax? No. So Amazon and Starbucks
are mad course. Because now the city is saying, Oh, you have to
pay a tax per employee, which I think turns out to be around 505
or $600 per employee per year. So that they can generate $86
million for social programs, which originally was 75. But I
guess they raised it up a little bit. Which, you know, and of
course, Amazon and Starbucks are mad.
But they just don't think you don't think Amazon saw this
coming when they decided to look for their second news. Oh,
actually. Oh, totally. That's you're gonna bail. Now snap on
it?
Yeah. And they're gonna come to Austin. No, we're, we're in the
top three. We're in the top three.
It can be in the top one in New not going to Austin. Why? Why do
you say this? One is troublemakers. Same kind of jerk
off center in Seattle, that are caused trouble company, they
don't want anything to do with them. They're not hard workers.
They're all a bunch of like tech types. They want to go into
someplace where they can get a lot of hard workers that are
work cheap, because the cost of living isn't what it is in
Austin, and Seattle and San Francisco and Los Angeles. So
there's likelihood of being Austin is nil.
I prefer them not to come by I don't know you're
gonna get your wish. Good talking about Neil. He's getting
bad PR. I have an example of bad PR. You know, he can hire people
to turn this around. But apparently he doesn't care.
Because
he owns the Washington Post. Why should he care? He can do
whatever he wants.
Yeah, he can write his own good publicity in The Washington
Post. But here's the thing total how this is not screwed up. This
is a this is a bad report. I mean, in terms of publicity,
play the gap, China
tshirt. Francisco based
gap is apologizing over shirts that featured what China calls
an incomplete map of its country that people's daily in China
posted this photo of the shirt, you'll notice the map of China
doesn't include Taiwan, which is off the eastern coast. Mainland
China claims the island is part of its territory. But Taiwan of
course does not see itself that way. issued a statement, this
batch of products have been pulled off shelves in the
Chinese market and destroyed. We are now conducting an internal
inspection within the group to correct this mistake as soon as
possible. Yeah.
Well, first of all cow tying to China over this Taiwan thing is
they could have reprinted the things. But you don't take the
shirts off the market and destroy them. You take them off
the market and give them to the homeless. Yeah,
now that's not going to happen. What was the other thing we had
that they destroyed him didn't give them to the homeless? There
was was was also a t shirt thing, wasn't it?
I don't remember a bank. It just doesn't make sense to me that
you take it off the market. Me because one thing about it in
your must be destroyed because they do not include Taiwan.
Well, they would you bench if you gave them to the homeless
and say, well, the homeless are getting T shirts that don't
include Taiwan. They're not going to complain. You can't say
anything. So it's like it's good. That sounds good for GAAP.
Yeah, it sounds good.
I think was this was the story. Wasn't this where they were
going to burn them for energy? They Yeah, they were going to
burn for energy. Yeah. Was it the same gap story? I wonder?
I don't think it was but whatever it is, you don't
destroy quality, you know, quality. You don't destroy a
good product that can be used by somebody in this environment
where you have, especially a San Francisco based company that is
crawling with homeless and nothing else they can poop in
some
situations San Francisco is it's almost funny to watch now. And I
love seeing all of the California law peoples now yeah,
they're concerned about to making sure DACA gets taken care
of not about their own homeless.
Exactly.
I have I have three clips and left and I do want to play them.
The first is in Ohio in an interestingly named county
licking County. And they have like most of the world now but
certainly Ohio have a huge opioid abuse problem. And so now
there's billboards throughout the entire county and the county
is giving away Naloxone, the anti overdose drug. The licking
County
Health Department started putting up these billboards
around the county. They say the heroin epidemic here has gotten
to the point where everyone needs to get involved, not just
people with friends and family who are struggling with
addiction. Unfortunately, you can't ignore it. Carrie Dyer
knows what it's like to have a family member struggle with
heroin addiction. Most people don't know where to go or what
to do. They don't know what the resources are. She says there's
still a stigma about heroin addiction. What's up needles,
what's up needles, but she's hoping billboards like this will
start to change that in the kit. As I said, there are two doses
of naloxone, Marybeth hegsted trained people how to use
Naloxone at the licking County Health Department.
Some of our own staff have pulled into a strip mall and
seen somebody at the you know, kind of slumped over a wheel and
knew that they were in trouble. She
says the billboards are a way to get more people to help out
time is everything. And so if people actually have a kid, they
can quickly get this nasal spray Naloxone into someone until the
medics arrived so that that can save a life right there.
And saving that person's life could be what they need to get
clean for good. Right now the licking County Health Department
is giving away free Naloxone kits. They also have free
training, so people know how to use it.
It's so typical of us here in America. It's like just put a
bandaid on it. Just shoot them in the nose. That's all good
given the nasal spray. Let's not figure out why this is actually
happening. Yes, it's a pet peeve of yours. And I think is is a
good pet peeve. Yeah. What No, don't this don't fix the problem
is patch it patch patch. Patch.
It was some nasal spray.
There is the potholes.
Instead of you just start filling the pothole up is a
patch. It just becomes a pothole.
And does it does another pothole, I came across a good
clip about the deals that Iran has with Western politicians and
countries. And somewhere there was a number of reports that if
if they didn't like how the new new negotiations were going with
Trump, apparently Iran has threatened to out individuals
who wanted the deal to happen and what kind of kickbacks they
got, which will be fantastic to see. But in the meantime,
I would like to see that I'm wondering whether this report is
true, but I hope it is. But
the part that I think is true is all the deals that were done as
a part of the Iran deal which the previous administration did
in Britain, France and
Germany lobbied furiously to try and stop President Trump
ditching the disastrous Iran nuclear deal and now they're
trying to keep it alive. Of course, they dress it up as high
principal, but the truth is that for them, it's about more money
for their big business cronies. Yes, the swamp is truly global.
Britain has pushed numerous business interests in Iran since
the Obama deal lifted sanctions including their telecoms company
Vodafone, partnering with Iranian internet firm, high web
to help modernize its network. And in 2017, British officials
agreed to $720 million deal to create a solar energy Park in
Iran with investors from Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Germany is even more swampy after sanctions were lifted.
carmaker Volkswagen reached an agreement with Iran's Mamet
cadre to sell two of their models there, and German
manufacturing giant Siemens signed a contract worth at least
1.5 billion euros to build rail coaches and upgrade train tracks
in Iran. But here's the swampy as German and this is truly
shocking. One of the biggest impacts of new sanctions would
be on energy, and Russia in particular giant Russian state
oil and gas companies. Rosneft and Gazprom both have interest
in Iran. Guess who is now head of the executive board at
Rosneft and also chairman of the board of directors at Nord
Stream to a subsidiary of Gazprom. Gerhard Schroder Angela
Merkel's predecessor, as Chancellor of Germany. The
former German leader is on the board of Russia's biggest energy
companies. Since Russia's got practically no economy apart
from energy that's basically like being on the border of
Russia. And the elites accuse Donald Trump of collusion. But
perhaps their country deepest in the Iran swamp is France. From
December 2016, French airplane manufacturer Airbus signed a
deal with Iran out to sell it 100 planes for around $19
billion and other French aircraft maker ATR struck a $536
million deal with Iran Air for 20 planes. French oil giant
total essay signed a 20 year $5 billion contract with Iran and a
Chinese oil company to develop an Iranian natural gas field and
French carmaker Pajot got a deal to open an Iranian plant
producing 200,000 vehicles a year. It turns out that 1/5 of
Peugeots entire global market is in Iran. And you'll also be
interested to discover that the former Rothschild banker who
once worked on a bailout of Persia is none other than
Emmanuel Macron. Now President I think we'd all take these
globalist elite politicians a bit more seriously when they
condemned Donald Trump for pulling out of the nuclear deal
if they themselves weren't up to their necks in their own swamp
deals with Iran.
Nice little overview Wow, I'm gonna give you a clip of the day
for that good information that
I was actually kind of blown away when I saw it. I'm like
holy crap Thank you. And we know about you know, Schroeder, but
yeah McCrone with Peugeot and I mean, it was it really and,
and then they bitch about Trump and you know, owning a few
hotels.
Well, according to the Bitcoin Iran theory, no reason to be
worried. As bitcoin is down again, we're at one Elmo at 200.
So it doesn't seem like there's much worry in the market. But I
do keep receiving reports that all of Europe is now dealing
with Iran in euros, not the dollar and it's in there's got
to be some energy stuff in there. Which is not what we
like,
that's not going to go over.
I don't know why people can't figure this out.
Well, what are we what are you going to die? It's always
unfortunate. If you're going to pay in euros. Please don't take
any hot tubs.
Just not healthy for you. Don't hop in there. You know.
And then I've lost the interesting millennial report,
which is funny and sad at the same time.
Since you're right. Since you mentioned did the Iranian you
might as well play my destiny has been sitting here we need to
catch up with the Tehran protests is so were you balanced
that little protests against America? Yeah, just general
protest. Yeah, America is mostly

following President Trump's withdrawal from the nuclear
deal, which will mean a new round of economic sanctions. Liz
Palmer in Tehran tonight reports Iranians are fed up and not just
with Washington.
after Friday prayers, the hardliners hit the streets. This
may be a noisy demonstration. It's actually fairly tired. By
now designed by everything that was to deflect the people's
anger toward America. Not a very serious problem brewing here.
None of these regime loyalists would dare say especially to an
American reporter. But Iranians are furious with their own
government's failure to deliver basics like electricity and
water and decent wages. In January, grassroots protests
spread like wildfire. And for the first time angry crowds
burned pictures of the previously untouchable Supreme
Leader. President Trump pulling out of the nuclear deal and
Iran's missile exchanges with Israel are just ramping up the
pressure in a country that's already dangerously close to
boiling point. Elizabeth Palmer, CBS News, Tehran.
And then there was this today Iran's Supreme Leader use social
media to troll the President's Ayatollah Ali how many posted a
picture of himself reading a farsi language copy of fire and
fury. Michael Wolf's book that is highly critical of the Trump
White House right that thing got translated into Farsi apparently
it did. St. Thomas gonna kill us. Getting there.
I can do that kind of report.
Work on it. All right,
millennials. Millennials, it's sad and funny. At the same time,
it has to do with what they eat frozen food
once frowned upon as unhealthy, uninspired and tasteless, has
recently become immensely popular among busy millennials,
with some even willing to pay more for healthier frozen
options. Trend has food giant Nestle and its rivals spending
millions of dollars ramping up production setting frozen food
with fewer preservatives in simpler and more attractive
packaging. Reuters correspondent Rita Naidu.
The the market is looking for healthier, convenient, easy to
cook meals that are also trendy and fashionable with ingredients
like avocados the market, however, is incredibly
competitive and has been for several years. But now more so
than ever, as this demand has, you know, gotten a lot of food
companies.
Despite being the number one food company in the world,
Nestle was not prepared for the frozen food crates. Analysts say
Nestle has trailed behind ConAgra General Mills and
Pinnacle Foods in releasing high priced premium meals that are
also perceived as healthy. So
they're falling for it. The small batch crap is working.
And the other thing is they mentioned to lay fewer
preservatives. Frozen foods have very little preservatives in
general because that's the idea. But here's my prediction. Okay.
The next thing canned food Gray's. Ooh,
I like it. Yes, small batch canned food. Yeah. Canned food.
It's healthier and more expensive.
Yeah, come after that. Salted meats.
Know your salted meats. Hi, everybody. That is your

And I should mention that we spent a little time in the post

what is the best way to grip it. If you did want to run somebody
through with it.
You remembered right now with
stabbing you have a really solid grip and you could swing into
somebody stabbed them with you and probably impaled stabbed
with a slight whistle so you're lucky yours wasn't confiscate.
Hope
you like stabbing two rules there I know. We can even stab a

the price with a little sacrifice until the knife pokes

do think the stabbing was a thing in the past to try
different ways
