have kind of a mini showdown coming.
Yes. What do we do? In vs. Belgium? Belgium could win.
Yeah, but this group Gee, Who cares who they win? I think
South Korea is going all the way.
You know, politically. Yes. Here's
how we view these things. That would be a really good one. I
totally agree. And for and for them to crush the Germans.
Oh, yeah. Well, that was they beat him one nil. And then they
got an extra goal at the end. Yeah.
One nil. I love that you're already into the into the
vocabulary of Xillia of the football
like a good Neil Neil. My blood boiling
Well, if it if it didn't, if it indeed is. If it is needed them
who they're going to play against
South Korea groupings, you figure it out. Hmm.
Well, I mean, what do you mean some groupings can ever play
against each other? Is that what you're saying? No. Well, no,
there's like the there are there's winners from each group.
Yeah, I understand how it works.
Yeah, they're gonna end up playing a DNS and sometimes they
get end up playing before the end and then says is a knockout
round that take the guy out and they will play it? Yeah, there's
no there's some matches that cannot be in the finals.
Maybe we just throw Mexico in there. Just do South Korea,
Mexico,
Mexico last Oh, who
Oh, I really would they play against swedesboro Oh, that's
right. That's right. That's
right Mexico's back in it's supposedly because Korea when I
don't even know how this works. What's your watch cricket try to
figure that
tee time everybody stopped. Oh, I want to commend you actually,
as we get started here with the best podcast in the universe.
You're welcome. It's been the past two episodes. And some
people who listen to the show on the podcast only don't may not
realize we do the show live we do it live Thursday and Sundays
at 9am Pacific time. And we have a pre stream show you know the
we're just kind of getting everything ready and we're never
just dicking around get the troll room set up get the stream
going and for a while as long as I've known you you've always
played your instruments during this pre stream and I think
recorder is now your your instrument of choice he had very
good the recorder because it it's the I'm getting so good at
the recorder.
I must say the last show. I went to make some toasts which you
for some reason found odd and bizarre. And you did the toast
song. Yeah, I did. And luckily someone recorded the stream and
I'd like to share it with everyone now John is going to be
performing
I don't know how anyone plays this thing. This is a recording.
Oh. If you blow harder it changes the note. I don't know
how anyone plays this thing. Get to get a little book on it.
They're even complimenting your recorder playing today
somebody's gonna tear this guy's
Sorry, I couldn't couldn't resist it so well. And I love
how you make the recorder sound like a pan flute. It's
fantastic.
It's so good about Well, that's what you can do. That's what
makes the instruments so special. It really is it
is the Swiss Army knife of wind instruments.
Yeah. Did anything happen? Oh, yeah. That's right. If I if you
and I were sitting down and writing the great script of
America in 2018. I don't think we could have come up with
better timing for the new cycle for the hatred for the insanity.
Then to have a Supreme Court Justice announced his retirement
at this very moment in all these cycles. Which leads me to
believe it was set up that way. It was beautiful. I mean, all of
a sudden kids in cages, who cares? We don't care about. But
the funny thing is, it was kind of set up that way, according to
the best report, and I do have a couple clips of this from now, I
would I would expect that. But before we play that, so we know
what the dimensions of this this this candidate who is a
conservative, quitting the Supreme Court.
How old is he? He's not even that old is he
just got sick of it. He's been in there forever. He's the last
30 years,
30 years. And he just, he just got sick of it just now. Perfect
timing to get sick of it.
Well, he knew that this was the time to do it. Because he was
actually if you listen to this gets Jonathan Turley on the BBC,
which I'll play the clip in a second. But first, I had to read
a tweet from Matthew Kay.
Literally in tears. I
haven't felt this hopeless in a long time. With Justice Kennedy
leaving. We now have two options as Americans get fitted for your
Nazi uniform, or report directly to your death camp. How do you
fight the darkness without light? Play? Spark is going out?
Hashtag SCOTUS. Oh, wow. Meanwhile, a guy Joker named
Stefan or New Jersey boy made a comment and a reply saying I
don't want to upset you any more. But there's no Wi Fi at
the death king.
Oh, no.
It was a good one. It was it was really quite fun. And the was
interesting as you went from Save the Children saved the
children saved the children
to
Oh, no, he's gonna get rid of Roe versus Wade. Yeah, we can't
kill the children. It's hurts my brain a little bit. Like how am
I supposed to understand this?
Well, as someone pointed out, I don't think it was Jonathan
Turley maybe is that there's no way they're not going to put a
justice in, that's going to get rid of Roe versus Wade.
That's not a sin. It's not as simple as 123. We just decided,
I mean, there's
no, it's and I know that this people are nuts. But let's
listen to the whole let's listen to the break down just Justice
Kennedy, one on the BBC
changes on the court. It is very difficult to overstate this. So
the President does not have to make much of a change to the
right from Kennedy to have really cascading changes across
a dozen areas of law. Kennedy has an immense legacy. But it's
also perhaps the most vulnerable legacy on the court. Most of his
cases hang in a five, four vote. And he's the fifth vote. So
anyone who is to the right of him could make really
transformative change.
So what sort of issues could be affected by this?
Well, first of all, Kennedy was a reliable conservative who
voted with the right of the court except for areas of
individual rights, excluding criminal law, when it came to
gay rights, same sex marriage privacy, he would often speak in
a different voice. I think he found his voice on those issues,
people found really personal and passionate. The writing was
quite different from his other decisions. It resonated with
him. And that's what made him a critical bridge figure. He has a
conservative philosophy, but he showed that you can have that
philosophy and still defend individual rights. And that's
what I think are going to be his most lasting legacies, not just
his vote, but his voice.
Who is this guy talking?
Jonathan, surely you can look him up. He is a libertarian
professor. And he's a very good commentator. And that was just
the intro, but he actually gets pretty good. These clips aren't
that long. I got I got a few of them. Probably. This is only 39
seconds. But he does the last clip, which is the fourth clip,
he brings something out that I you know, I thought this is who
cares? Okay, you're gonna get another conservative and
replacing a conservative, but this guy makes a very
interesting point as he builds up to it. So let's go to clip
two.
What do you think the timing of his retirement coming in an
election year
could not be worse. I mean, the timing for Democrats truly could
not be worse. They risk the potential of being largely
pedestrian in this entire confirmation fight. The
Republicans got rid of the filibuster rule when they had
the Gorsuch nomination. That means that this is set up for a
straight muscle vote. Some of the muscle Democrats may have
difficulty voting against a nominee. They've got Democrats
in states like Missouri, West Virginia, where President Trump
was very popular. So it truly could not be worse for the demo.
Credit.
But if I understand correctly, the way it works, and we've been
through this just recently, so I think my memory is pretty good.
The Senate confirms a nomination pick, the president picks his
his nominee, and because of a change in the Senate rules,
which was was that Obamacare when when that took place?
It was seven Harry Reid did. Yeah. And
is that the the it's not the nuclear option? Maybe it is.
What is that? Well,
it's kind of but it's but it's specific. It's targeted. It's
not like, it's still in play for most things, but it's targeted
for certain things you can you don't need the 60 vote majority
to pass something. And they, the Republicans switched it to that
for the Gorsuch nomination, and they've just pushed him through.
And they're going to do it again. And that's why Kennedy
quit, don't make any, you know, they you can hear a lot of
different analysis. I
mean, that's why he quit when he mean, well, as you'll hear,
I didn't know this, but Turley brings, I think, in the next
clip, it kind of explains it, and I'll explain why Kennedy
quit.
Moreover, of all the things you can say about President Trump,
the one thing you cannot say is that he doesn't keep his
promises, more than any president I know of, certainly
in my lifetime. He's kept his promises, you might not like
them. But this was the biggest of the promises. He would repeat
this continually that he would move that core to the right. And
everyone knew he was talking about Kennedy seat.
Mm hmm. Kennedy was
expected to quit at some point. And this was his most opportune
moment. Because right now the Republicans are in charge of
everything after the next elections. They will know.
Right, exactly. Or they might be I mean, they still might be you
don't know because we're the Democrats and I believe there's
some very nasty advertising that's beginning right now
that's targeting the Democrats. Oh, really? Oh, and it's really
something like why? Well, that that the one that was just
released by the I don't have a clip of it. Oh,
you mean the video is a very visual thing. It doesn't make
sense to clip it. I personally thought it wasn't all that great
when I see a limousine burning. I'm also like, Yeah, screw
burning is the only thing that's probably
should have taken that out. It was a bad thing. That was a
mistake that should have been taken out. It gave me pause. I
went huh.
Yeah, but still, you know, they should have had a cop car car
burning gas. But the that and then there's a Q anon thing
that's floating around. And there's some other stuff that's
very strangely done. I think. I'm starting to think Q anon is
says a Roger Stone operation.
Well, it's a psyop for sure. We're just not sure exactly
who's running it.
But dig. If you listen to the video, they just come up with a
video that's pretty, pretty extreme. I think they're going
they're finally they've built up enough material though the
Democrats have given them enough material they collected and
Maxine Waters is, of course a key to this, because she's an
idiot. And they're just going to use her and some of these other
guys to scare the public. Well, but anyway, back back to
Kennedy, Kennedy was going to retire anyway. So he retired at
this moment, knowing the situation in Congress, meaning
they can push through a nominee that out of the Trump list is
still using that same list. And and it won't be a problem.
Except for they won't be able to put a Roe vs. Wade candidate
through. That's against it, because of the two women
Republicans will not approve it. And they're on thin ice they can
only they got 50 votes, and they can pass you know, by every
Republican has to be on board. But
undeniably what what happened immediately is we need and so he
announces, I'm sure that we're waiting for it, because this
came out so quickly. Within seconds. It's there you go,
we're gonna lose Roe v. Wade, Rose toast where it's all gone.
That's their new talking point, which was really good because it
overtook the news cycle, which is getting very tedious and very
annoying, although we will revisit it today of the kids in
cages. After you play your fourth clip, I have a couple of
things to share regarding the
the Roe v. Wade.
Right. But I do want to reiterate the fact that even the
route smart Republicans know that they're not going to get
that kind of a guy screw with the two women, because they're
not going for it. And
also, I don't think it's what the country the majority of the
country now I don't think anybody cares
as much as the Democrats do. They seem to care the most. This
last clip is very interesting, and I want to discuss it a
little bit before we go into your spiel.
What do you think Justice Kennedy's legacy will be?
There's no question that the capstone of his legacy is gay
rights and same sex marriage. Cuba since the 1970s, he has he
tried to develop what he called the right to dignity under the
Constitution. He wrote some of his most beautiful prose about
this right to dignity that he saw. And I think that will be
his lasting legacy. The question is whether that will be the
legacy of the court. It'll take very little to change that. And
I expect the right to dignity may be the first casualty of the
post Kennedy era.
The right to dignity.
I found that fascinating, because apparently, and why I
find it fascinating is not just the idea of the right to
dignity, which is like privacy. You know, you know, it's
not privacy. It is dignity is different than privacy.
I didn't say it was the same I said it's like, okay, it because
it's kind of humiliating, to have your privacy violated.
Which means your dignity is violated. There's a connection.
But the but the point, I think, isn't it isn't
dignity, your feelings? No. feelings were hurt, but dignity
was hurt. No. Okay.
No, your feelings and your dignity aren't the same. You can
be silent and you don't have your feelings hurt. I mean, it's
like being stripped searched. Does that hurt your feelings?
Yeah. What does that kind of infringer dignity?
Well, I'll look up the official Merriam Webster, definition,
dignity.
The quality or state of being worthy, honored or esteemed?
It's got nothing to do with feelings. You're right. When
you're right, you're right.
Okay. So the right to dignity. I didn't know this isn't the
Constitution you have the right to dignity is
no one. There's a lot of that in the Constitution. But it's like
something that was derived
from the Federal Federalist Papers, no doubt. Well,
I'm sure but but I think the Fourth Amendment is a right to
dignity thing. It's got nothing to do with your feelings as
somebody busting into your house, or telling you to stay in
place or shelter in place that said, No, you're feeling
Hey, you I agree. It's not about feelings, Move on, move past
thought.
Okay, well, I'm gonna move on to the real point, which has got
nothing to do with the definition is, isn't that kind
of a conservative
value? In general? Oh, shouldn't
it be?
I think it's just a human value personally,
don't you think? Well, don't use it when privacy dignity all
these sorts of things have been added right to, you know, Fourth
Amendment, rights, Second Amendment, first amendment
rights, all these rights? Aren't they all kind of conservative
values old constitutional, constitutional, were
constitutionalist, their constitutional values. Why is
that? Why is this one guy out of the all the 45? Conservatives,
he was one of them. He's the only guy that feels this way. Is
that what they're telling us? Sounds like it. I think it's
true. I don't know what's wrong with these other people. And
I'll say this, by the way, Scalia, who was all this big
bastion of all the so called conservative stuff, somebody you
should go back and listen, or anybody out there should go back
and listen to his commentary about torture. It's
unbelievable. He thinks his fabulous, like pro torture,
because somebody says this cruel and unusual punishment. And he
says, How is torture punishment? He makes this argument.
Right? Well, regarding the fourth and regarding dignity,
the Supreme Court made a lot of decisions about that related to
TSA, and that just kept on going through which is a total
disrespect for your dignity. I agree. But
But I just now I look at it and then Sawyer was all freaked out,
of course. And the only people that are really freaked out are
gay. That guy who wrote that little commentary that I read on
the he's obviously gay, because he's going on about he's in
tears. We're all going to be not, you know, sent the death
camps, about the gay community because the only guys stood up
for the gays on the conservative side was Kennedy.
Ah, okay. Now it starts to come into play. I understand. Okay,
now I see the vision. Well, yes, that kind of extreme. Fear is
probably coming from that community. But everyone's
freaked out about this. Everyone on the left certainly, and every
one of the guys
that conservative I do not get this freak out against Roe
versus Wade on the one hand, as you pointed out, and then the
gay the the gays now,
Jonathan, Oh, okay. I understand what you're saying. No, this has
nothing to do with that. It's just the next talking point.
It's just the next cycle. Because for sure you can get
women who voted for Trump to get riled up about this for sure.
Like, you know, Pete better not be doing that because Is that
you know, I'm with Trump on a lot of stuff. But yeah, that's
definitely
the talking point. It's gonna be they're gonna ram some guy
through hopefully or a woman maybe. And
although I don't think so.
And then I think I think before before the 28th 2018 or late No,
not 2018 but 2020 elections two more years. I don't see Ruth
Bader Ginsburg staying apparently
she has pneumonia. I heard from someone today. She she may leave
sooner than we think.
It wouldn't surprise me if she just like died like tomorrow,
because okay, we don't have not wishing it.
Wishing that are nice. Well, she's she's up there. I mean,
she seems pretty spry or health seems okay. Oh,
she seems like she's sleeping all the time. She falls asleep
at the drop of a hat. Okay.
Where's the sleep? There's the sleeping thing? Well, yeah, they
should be huddling around her and protecting her if anyone's
worried about the composition of the court.
Yes. And that will be the that will be that that will be the
that's when you start to worry. Yeah. And that's gonna happen.
Well, it's inevitable. No one lives forever. I do have two
interesting clips from when this was announced. And one is one of
our producers who wishes to remain anonymous. I believe he
works in on Capitol Hill. And he says I received a voicemail,
then the voicemail automatically connected him to this
announcement. And I'm pretty sure this is the Republicans
talking about the strategy for for getting the new Supreme
Court just and that that was not like really mind boggling
information. But it's kind of cool, because it's not something
you know, all the other announcements Republic on
television, and this is something that you didn't see,
Please hold while we connect you to your access live event. This
access live event is currently in progress. Please note that
this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast,
recorded the United States and I wish him well in its retirement.
As far as what comes next. I think we can anticipate that the
White House will act fairly quickly. That's the President's
prerogative to nominate someone to fill that vacancy. I predict
this will happen probably sometime in the next few weeks,
I would say almost certainly during the month of July
happens, then there will be a process, a confirmation process
that will go on in the United States Senate. The Senate
Judiciary Committee after it receives all the relevant
background information of the individual and the formal
nomination from the president itself. The Senate Judiciary
Committee on which I serve within hold a hearing. And the
nominee will be asked a whole lot of questions by all the
members of the committee. And at the end of that process, the
Committee will take a vote assuming the nominee is
favorably moved out of the committee with the majority
vote, then the nominee will be considered by the Senate as a
whole. I suspect that the whole process is likely to be
completed sometime between now and early October. You see the
Supreme Court of the United States starts each term each
years work in early October, and it completes all of its work. By
June of the following year. The Supreme Court finished its work
today. And that's one of the reasons why Justice Kennedy
chose to announce his retirement today. The Supreme Court issued
the last of its opinions for the year. And so the justices will
now be taking the next couple of months off. During that time the
President will nominate and I believe the Senate will confirm
someone to fill that vacancy. And that could have a
significant impact on the Supreme Court. So
that's some Republican insider talking. And then I also have a
recording of Sheila Jackson Lee, our representative in Texas,
Dallas, who was a Democrat and the response was quite
different.
Kennedy has just announced that he's retiring just announced
that he set up and he got on these recent
decisions, but he was the one. That sounded like despair. Yeah.
And here is one of the best versions of the talking point
which is Roe v. Wade comes from Ron Klein. Who is he again Ron
Klein.
Name rings only brings you because
he was on Chris Matthews just oh, he's a Jumoke doesn't matter
because he definitely was all in with the alliteration.
Ron, we're going to begin with you. I know. You were on the
Judiciary Committee during the Clinton confirmations getting
Ruth Bader Ginsburg through the committee. Within the Obama
administration, you helped get Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan,
through the Judiciary Committee with your experience.
What do you see as the possibilities tonight? Well, I
think the Democrats are going to have to fight hard, but I think
if they fight hard, it's an open question as to what will happen.
You laid out one scenario, Lawrence, I think there are
others. Look, I think the key thing is to focus on a woman's
right to choose. We didn't stop Mitch McConnell, when he stole a
Supreme Court seat in 2016. But we have to stop Donald Trump's
role reversal reproductive rights rip off, we have to not
let this happen. How good is that? Wow,
the role reversal reproductive rights rip off? Oh, yes. So
that was written he wrote in practice?
No, no. She sells seashells by the seashore. The role reversal
reproductive rights rip off. I love it. Yeah, that is that
that's a poster that's posted.
But we have to stop Donald Trump's role reversal
reproductive rights rip off, we have to not let this happen. I
think that Democrats showed they could beat the odds when they
beat Robert Bork and 1987. I think if they fight hard and
organized, they can put pressure on callers on Murkowski on flake
and potentially derail whatever Trump's trying to do here.
Whatever he's trying to do. It's the role reversal. rebrand.
We're gonna stop it. Whatever.
Well, he did. Trump did fuel. The fire fanned the flames when
he Where was he yesterday in North Dakota.
And he brought up his thing that this guy's never He's worse than
Obama knew Obama, they were always criticized because all
he's ever did was run for president his you know, he gave
all these speeches. They're always campaign speeches. Even
in his last years when he could run again, he would keep keep
doing it.
But there's a key difference. There's a key difference. The
way I see it, Obama would go there go and he was on the road
all the time, too. And he would do his his thing. And then he'd
be like, oh, let's have some dinner. Let's hang out with
everybody. Let's get everybody organized around here with the
elites. And I think Trump flies in Tiny Dancer. Does his stick.
You know, can't always get what you want. Boom. Flies home. Back
to Washington. That's what it seems like. And I'm okay with
absolutely correct as exactly the difference. I've never
noticed the Trump gang in it doesn't hit restaurants and have
it on ribs.
He's hyperkinetic? He can't sit down and chill. He can't. It's
impossible.
It's a it's an affliction. Yeah, yeah. Well,
it's I don't know what's happening right now on the on
the news networks. But I for one, I'm very happy at least we
switched it up a little bit from the, from the kids in cages
because oh my god, it was it was just off the hook. And it's all
happening here in Texas. All the live shots are taking place
here. And I do have some, some background are on the org. You
know, the organizations that put the kids in cages.
Well, I have I have two clips. I like to play early one both One
of them's very short 20 seconds. And then I do have my bitch
clip. Okay, which is the one I want to play and then complain
but let's play migrant wraps CBS play early.
It was a week ago today that President Trump signed the
executive order ending the separation of families, but the
language in the order didn't specify what would be done to
reunite those families already separated.
Bull crap. It did require required court action.
So now you've got this ruling by a court in California that is
blistering in its language. It's a preliminary injunction issued
in the Southern District of California by US District Judge
Dana sabraw, which says the government is blocked from
carrying out any future family separations. The order also says
parents cannot be deported before being reunited with their
children. Under the present system, Judge sabraw rights
migrant children are not being accounted for with the same
efficiency and accuracy as property. Certainly that cannot
satisfy the requirements of due process.
We do not want any children separated from their parents any
longer than absolutely necessary under the law. In hours
before the judge's order. President Trump's Secretary of
Health and Human Services Alex Azar told Congress that the
government would not return children to parents who are
being held in custody if
the parent remains in detention, unfortunately, under rules that
are set by Congress and the courts, that can't be read
unified.
Azar is referring to the Flores agreement that says that
immigrant children cannot be held in detention for more than
20 days. Now, HHS says there are currently 2047 children still
separated from their parents. That's just six less than the
number that government gave us last week. Okay,
nothing's going on. But let's play part two.
We went to see Border Patrol chief Manuel Padilla, who runs
the busiest sector on the border. He says last week, as
the national debate was raging over separating families, the
number of apprehensions dropped. preliminarily, what does that
say to you? Better worse, having a consequence to illegal entry
works?
Yeah, probably does. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, cuz they're stealing the child. They're taking your
gum over a camp trying to get into the country they swore rate
or abdomen, maybe in run
or if you're a trafficker and using a child which happens,
then you know that avenue is not going to be that successful.
Exactly. But there's still this and this is the child scam clip.
Ah, okay.
We have our first unfiltered look this morning. Inside a
facility for separated immigrant children. CBS News obtained cell
phone video from inside the Cayuga centers in New York. The
clip shows children huddled in what looked like classrooms
including one crying girl who couldn't talk to her mother,
Vladimir, do ta of our streaming network, CBS and shows how the
children are coping after weeks of separation in their families
flag. Good
morning. Good morning. As you know, the government will not
let cameras into these shelters Gail, you know that officials
release images that they only want you to see, these videos
were provided to us by Attorney Michael Avenatti, a Trump
administration critic, they were apparently shot by a lawyer
troubled by family separations and recently quit. When we first
see Leo, he's all smiles. But that smile disappears when he's
asked if he's sad about being away from his mother. Attorney
Michael Avenatti represents Leo's mother Lourdes. He says
the two were separated 48 hours after arriving at the Texas
border may 10.
She had no idea where he was for the better part of three weeks
and she was
distraught over it. What is Leo's mother's status now
she's been deported back to Guatemala.
Leo was sent to the Cayuga centers in New York. He's one of
243 separated children there. According to Mayor Bill de
Blasio, Cayuga cares for the children during the day night.
They go home to foster families. Yeah,
what kind of a deal is going on here, you get the Cayuga
centers, which is not a detention camp. It's a it's a
former orphanage that dates back to 1854. That has repurposed
itself to be a kind of a not a shelter by any means. But day
camp for kids that have, I guess, live in foster homes in
this case. And it just seems like they separate this kid from
the mom send her back to Guatemala and then bus the kid
to New York in Cuyahoga New York. Yeah, this is seems wrong.
Well,
this is this is these big organizations, nongovernmental
organizations, one is the Baptist Child and Family
Services. And the one here in Austin, which last year received
just under $100 million to take care of kids is called Southwest
Key. And they are the ones that do this. They are the ones that
placed children either in foster homes or in facilities they
operate. And it's baffling to me that well, no, it's not really
because, you know, I just don't see anyone looking into these
organizations in the
there's no coverage of this. And that I can see it all and not
not one of these reporters are watching that CBS reporting
there. And not once is why is the kid shipped to New York.
Okay, this is like mad.
So I've looked at all the 990s of these companies. I did a lot
of an all of the research is in the show notes and a show
notes.com You can find it easily. First of all, the the
CEO of Southwest keys makes a million and a half dollars a
year. There's nice gig ship and children around.
But it's
lost my train of thought. That's the question,
but you're looking at all the 990s and you saw some trends,
okay. All right. So you do the numbers and all of this
government money. It's they get the grants from Health and Human
Services. And you know, in their case, it was $94 million was a
grant from Health and Human Services. This is southwest
keys, who's headquartered in Austin. And the rest came from
couple of events, a couple of big donors, but it's all
government money. And if you Look at the actual, they call in
throughout all their documents, they call these immigrants,
clients. And I always have a huge problem with this. Because
when you consider the people you're helping as clients, in
your mind, you're running a business. And the goal of the
business is to get more clients. It always is. And it's also job
security, etc. So currently, it's about $35,000 on average
per person, per year that they detain, which is equal to
prison, but it's actually a little cheaper and cheaper than
than commercial prisons. And so when we're talking about, you
know, we, and this has come up now with all we've got to get
rid of the commercial prison system, which I think you and I
are all in agreement with, you know, that's that is a complete
scam. And it's putting people in jail for profit. This is no
different. But no one is looking at these organizations. Because
all they're just doing good work. No, they may not be doing
good work. And we really not
and I'm in total agreement, this is the profit you have with the
private prisons, they want more prisoners. Yes. So they do
everything they can they influence legislation they come
up with, they change the rules, authority, they do everything
they can to get more customers is exactly what you said. And in
which is the clients
and I think it was in 2010 or 2011. President Obama went to
Dallas and was a big who, how big shindig hold down with the
Baptist Child and Family Services group doing such
fantastic work. But this billion dollars, it's now up to about
1,000,000,003 billion for a year. This has been going on for
quite some time. But to say that these children are in cages is
just factually incorrect. Yeah, it may not be great. And yeah,
if you sit there as almost as this, from your from your clip,
if you sit down and say to a child who has been separated
from their mom, because they entered the country illegally,
and you have all these rules, and they're conflicting rules.
If you say Are you sad? What do you expect? The answer is going
to be? Yeah, it's great. Screw that. Oh, heck, no, of course
not. So it's just on everyone's emotions in crazy ways.
Yeah, that's great. But it seems to me that the left in
particular is being used. Yes. Because they're the ones who are
promoting this. Yep, they want these they want to, you know,
they're, they're the ones that have made a big fuss out of
this. I mean, I and the criticism about Trump seems to
me that what Trump has done by making it a you know, it says,
well, you're gonna have this policy, let's have a, you know,
a zero tolerance, which brought it to the fore. And now it's out
there to now it's like to be cherry picked. It's like low
hanging fruit to hold the real story. But nobody's picking the
fruit and
it's so sickening. When you think about what is a happening
and be possible a, these organizations who get me out
hundreds of millions of dollars, each from the government, from
our, from my money, to my money to they kick back millions of
that into the coffers of politicians, who will continue
to help them get more clients. And it opens up a very
dangerous, and I see no research on this, but hopefully someone
can find some, why wouldn't you toss a few bucks to some of
these traffickers?
Hey, bring a few. Moreover, it's clearly
a possibility when you have clients and you want more.
Yeah, it's clearly a possibility. And you're right. I
would think it probably can't accuse them of doing it. Because
you know, but not Yeah, it makes nothing but logical sense to do
it. Yes.
And we saw that happen with the court system, you know, the,
with the schools, tossing kids into juvie, and then getting
processed as adults and thrown into jail. We've we've covered
all of that. So why wouldn't it be happening in this case? And
maybe that's part of what is supposed to be uncovered is this
incredible, you know, scam, which has been going on for four
years, but now has come to the forefront due to the zero
tolerance policy because now of course, everything is blowing
up, and no one can handle the deluge. So it's disturbing. But
more disturbing to me is the subtle change in all the so
called
reporting me removing it from the illegal immigrants to
immigrants.
So everything is discussed in a framework of these are just
people who are immigrating to our country. We're a nation that
we forget the whole illegal part. And by the way, it may be
broken but I've brought two people in on the system. I've
helped someone else here locally, who was here illegally
and I helped her and her family get legal. I mean, the system
does work. You just have to actually do it. And sadly, it
costs a lot of money. Yeah, you're talking at least $3,000
On the low end, per person. And it's just what it costs to do it
legally. I think. And I've been through all these throughout the
years, I've been through all the cost of this is $400. Here. I
remember that one time that's like, with the with my previous
with my ex wife. Yeah, they had all these like, it was like
10 grand or some you were out?
Well, you'll recall that she tried to enter the country. And
even though we were married at the time, the paperwork and was
my mistake, the paperwork was was incorrect, even though
technically she had every right to be here. And she got sent
back at JFK. She got sent back. Do you remember? I was in
Holland for three months?
Yeah, yeah. I
remember the show was from Holland. It made the show more
international.
Yeah, it did make it more international. But it was not a
fun process.
There was no you don't want to be forced to go to hell. I mean,
you don't plan you got boom you love you got to keep to places
that is terrible.
So it seems like this
money making scheme has been going on for quite a while. And
I think there's a lot of people who are going to be very worried
when this if this really starts to come
to the forefront against anybody besides the two of us. And even
notice.
So back to my my my issue with changing this from illegal
migrants or immigrants, just to immigrants, Rob Reiner and his
wife who we rarely hear from his wife. Have you ever heard
Michelle
Reiner speak? No, never.
I didn't even know he had a wife. But I'm sure he did.
But he had a daughter and a son, so our daughter Ramiz
works. So he and his wife, Ruth, for those who don't know Rob
Reiner, and you know, very famous director, of course, he
was a meathead and all in the family and he's and his dad is
famous as a Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood family, him
and Michelle and they are very elitist, very rich, but they
came down off their high horse, and they came to El Paso at the
border to sit down with joy read outside just right off the
border. They're out in the wind. They're in the they're in sandy
desert, like conditions, talking about how horrible this is. And
well, you can only you can only surmise what what the conclusion
is of all of this. And this was so unhinged from both of them,
that I just pulled a couple of clips because it's it's very,
it's unhinged. That's the only word I have for it here. We
start off with Rob Reiner. Michelle Reiner with joy Reid,
the truth of the matter is, there is no crisis except for
the one that Donald Trump created. There is no crisis
here. But he created one. And clearly, all he's interested in
at this point, let's cut to the chase. This is about racism.
Pure and simple racism. That's all it is. He's hoping that the
people who support him will be ginned up and up and running to
the polls to make sure that brown people don't come into
America. That's exactly what's going on here. And he and in the
process, he's destroying families.
That's how simple he thinks,
is it Trump doesn't want brown families to be in America, which
is what all of his supporters think. And so he's just a
racist. Now, let's hear from Michelle Reiner,
because I hate to repeat what he just said. But this is based on
racism, period, as they like to say that that's all this is they
don't want more brown people coming into this country and
taking those jobs. Immigration is lower than it's ever been.
There's no crisis at the border. And it's just an inhumane,
unconscionable act that they did by separating children. And I
have to tell you, my mother was in Auschwitz, she was separated
from her entire family lost her entire family. I never thought I
would live to see something like that, particularly in this
country ever again.
It's exactly the same. It's this fantastic lifetime.
Yeah, it's hideous. And by the way, as a fellow Jew, I'd like
to hear Ivanka Speak Up Where is Ivanka? Not just Where are the
girls? Where is Ivanka? You know, her mission is women and
children. She's here to help them as well as Melania.
Supposedly, where are they weren't they out there speaking
out and screaming about this and becoming the face of
reorganizing and, you know, getting the kids and the parents
together again? Where are they where's she?
She will see that she wears the pants in in a minute. Now is it?
She says inhumane. Reiner says inhuman Is there a difference in
those two
basically You think those were inhuman is a
word, this is inhuman. What we're doing in the United States
of America is inhuman. And you mentioned that a second ago, he
launched his campaign, basically saying Mexicans are rapists,
They're murderers. That's what he's still selling.
Okay? Basically saying no, no, that's not basically what he
said. But okay, for your argument, it's
the only thing he can sell to that racist base of his. And
that's what he's been doing. He started his political career and
saying Obama was not a legitimate president. This is
all a reaction. The people who support him are frightened to
death of this country becoming the browning of America. It's
about immigration. It's about people coming together. We've
been doing this for hundreds of years. It helps the country it
makes the country stronger, we need immigrants to help boost
our economy. And everybody knows that this is xenophobia, pure
and simple.
And crime is lower where there's so everything that he's been
saying is a lie. He lies about everything, and his base agrees
with them, and Fox propagates it, then that's it, then you get
40% of the people who just believe that
I've noticed this too, is there's a Yeah, the the
detractors have a huge issue with Fox News, which of course
started with Obama. He said that people watched Fox News or Well,
paraphrasing idiots. And for some reason, there's this belief
amongst the incredibly the radical left are saying I think
very horrible things mean what they're saying here. That Fox
News, Fox News is making it all happen that Fox News is so
powerful that MSNBC CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, they can't fight the
evil Fox News. And that's
why there's no doubt about it. Let me give you the definition
of the word inhuman is true. Okay, lacking human qualities of
compassion and mercy, cruel and barbaric. That's inhuman.
Inhumane is without compassion for, for misery or suffering
without compassion for specifically misery or
suffering.
So they're both right. Yeah,
slightly different definitions, but one of them likes to use one
and the other one likes to use the other, showing their
individuality.
I learned something that again, you'll see that she wears the
pants. I learned something from Michelle Reiner, which I did not
know regarding Godwin's Law. Godwin's Law was Godwin's still
around the guy who came up with the with the famous statement
that once someone calls someone else Hitler online, then the
conversation is over. Yeah. Am I categorizing Godwin's Law
properly?
Yeah. In fact, as the definition says, I'm on this thing.
Godwin's Law is a internet adage asserting that as an online
discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Hitler approaches one degree. Anyway, so yeah,
you know, Michelle, you talked about your family's experiences.
And, you know, there is that there is the Godwin's Law, which
by the way God would have suspended for Donald Trump.
This is true. Did you know that? It would Godwin's suspended his
own law for Donald Trump.
I didn't know that. No, this Yeah,
yeah. If you look it up, he tweeted. He said. Oh, shoot. Let
me let me get it now. Houma. GODWIN suspends on law. This is
it's just fantastic. Here we go. That was a tweet somewhere.
Yeah. This was around Charlottesville. And he said, by
all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis again, and
again, I'm with you. So we suspended his own law, which
kind of ruins the whole Godwin's Law argument.
Yeah, who know, you know, Michelle,
you talked about your family's experiences. And, you know,
there is that there is the Godwin's Law, which by the way
God would have suspended for Donald Trump, which says that
you you know, when you make the analogy to the 1930s, Germany,
you you go too far. But there are a lot of people who are
talking about the fact that it didn't begin with the violence
against Jewish people to begin with the rhetoric about people
being vermin about people infesting the country about
people being criminals, and your that that rhetoric is pretty
consistent. And that is one of the things I think that's
destabilizing and really frightening. A lot of people,
they follow the exact pattern that Hitler has, I hate to say
it with the propaganda, even down to the Red Cross went into
Auschwitz, they clean it up for two days. It looked fine. They
went back they said everything seems fine there, you know,
Playboy, when Melania did that ridiculous trip and that
ridiculous shirt and went down that
fascist. I tell you now red cross fashion was fascist
Hitler.
Kill you off the playbook.
It's the playbook. It's the playbook. Look the play books
back and play. How is Hollywood helping? Or are they? What's the
balance on how much that helps? How much that doesn't help? What
do you think?
I think it helps if you understand the issues, you can
speak intelligently about them. I think it doesn't help. When
you say, Eff, Trump, that kind of stuff doesn't help. But if
you understand what's going on, and I can't
wait to see what De Niro has to say about that route, really,
man, what are you doing about it? Reiner, this could be this
could be a little rift internally, I'm thinking of
stuff
doesn't help. But if you understand what's going on, and
you can put it in context, we have a president who does not
understand the nexus between politics, policy and government
and how that all works. So he just throws something out that
he knows his base will lap up. But he doesn't know how that's
going to ultimately be implemented and how it's going
to play out. And so he winds up with this insane policy.
And then the final clip where you will hear who wears the
pants at home? Well, I'm
gonna I'm gonna say what I've been saying, which is, we need
to get this man out of there. This man is poisonous to our
democracy. We're right now at a point where democracy is hanging
by a thread. I mean, right now the courts are holding. And
right now, the press, a big chunk of the press is doing
their job. But there's a big chunk of the press that is
fighting back and pushing another narrative. And it's hard
to break through to those people. So I'm gonna talk about
what we need to do to save 241 years of self roll. It's it's
it's being tested right now we're being tested
on that new book that just came out. He is evil. He is evil. And
the book is
that what book is that? Book? Is it he says he's evil? I didn't
know you think I was the author of whatever book that was I'd be
irked that they should promote it give the title? Oh, yes.
Yeah, no, I was just saying it's just that what book
that just came out, he is evil. He is evil. And the thing is, I
thought, I'll come in and he won't really know because he's
not that smart. He doesn't, you know, he'll just do a
showmanship thing.
Maybe she's talking about the new Harry Potter, but he's
evil and how he's treating people and dismantling
everything to help anybody else in this country, except for the
top one person of which he claims to not be. It's, you
know, that's the joke of it all. But he's not a good man.
Are you more worried or more hopeful today? We're,
I'm worried but I'm also hopeful. I'm hopeful because
because, you know, I do believe in the in the decency of human
Yeah, but
they haven't done anything about the sharper attacks. They
haven't done a thing to change what happened in 2016 the same
bots the same things are going on that went on then what's
changed what's to stop Russia from taking over this election?
2000 What's
changed in my opinion is that Donald Trump is in the White
House.
So he she overrules him by saying now I am afraid but this
did you catch this thing about the election that she said I'll
play because
because you know I do believe in that in the decency of human
Yeah, but
they haven't done anything about the cyber attacks. They haven't
done anything to change what happened in 2016 the same bots
the same things are going on that went on then
when she says the same box she talking about bots, bots, okay,
I thought you said box. All right now I understand the same
bots are going on. Really the same bots.
Bill and Jim two of the worst of the bots are still out. And I
have a quick little notification for Rob Reiner. republics are
not democracy. Just letting you know.
Getting a little irksome.
Wow, unhinged indeed. Okay, yeah, she I, by the way, she is
a personality type. She's an archetype. I've run into him.
There's lots of them around here. It's just a very, very
strong willed alumnus dominates the family that yes, for
sure. And then a montage
he can't that's why Reiner I think is such a sour guy at the
he doesn't know it that his wife is making him that way. But
if you see the video, she jumps all over him. He just his whole
body language goes deflates. Yeah, she starts over, man. He's
a beaten man. Hey, we gotta we need a new campaign save Rob
Reiner from his marriage. Hey, Robert. So the media took all
this and, you know, really rolled it up into one. And I
have a nice montage here a collage of how Trump is turning
Trump supporters and voters I know there's difference into
public enemy number one.
If you vote for Trump, then you the voter you not Donald Trump,
are standing at the border like Nazis go you hear you hear. And
I think we now have to flip it and it's a given evilness of
Donald Trump,
if you hold down the woman while the rapist is raping her, and
you didn't rape her. Are you a rapist?
10s of millions of people voted for him after he showed his
cards for years. But are
you? Are you suggesting that they're racist? Or they're Yes,
the people who vote all the people have voted for Donald
Trump. Yes,
Republicans weren't so racist. They can encourage black people
who are morally conservative to be on their side. Those people
who are supporting what he's doing here are racist period
movements and people that are speaking up for things, whether
we're talking about civil rights movement, whatever else, and
those movements should be non violent, but they should not be
non confrontation. So
these policies that this administration is putting forth
are intentionally cruel, they are racist, and it isn't. It is
our job as citizens to speak out against that. Now, does that
mean that we're going to be violent? No. But does that mean
that Sarah Sanders can have a nice quiet dinner with her
family when she's taking our tax dollars to implement this
policy? I don't think so.
Anybody who votes for and supports a racist is a racist.
You are culpable white America, I'm sorry. Is it
complicit? Or either, you're
enabling Kristen Welker? How do you resist the temptation to run
up and wring her neck? Why
25% of the country, whether it's 2520 30% are hardcore racist,
they do not want to see brown people coming into America.
That's that's just what's going on here.
There's still generations of people, older people who were
born and bred and marinated in it, and that prejudice and
racism, and they just have to die.
Oh, thank you, Oprah. Why don't you die?
What is wrong with these people? wring your neck,
and they feel pretty die feel pretty strongly about their
convictions? I guess.
Wow. Although, this reminds me of that one of the screw ups. I
had this clip from out of the show. But there's a screw up.
You know, Trump signed a thing to stop this and then the judge.
And these guys, this is just about, apparently one of the
groups in California that you know, they have a playbook. And
so they just decide because of the kids being separated.
They're gonna go on a on a 24 day fast. And I'm like, they're
looking at each other. Like, why are we starving ourselves? For
this? It doesn't make any sense. But just play this clip and
you'll get a kick out of it. After the signing 24 day fast.
Emotions boiling over on the border in McAllen, Texas, the
epicenter of the crisis, demonstrators blocking a bus
full of immigrant children, creating a tense standoff
between protesters and police. Human Rights Activists
announcing a 24 day fast in support of separated families.
What is the significance of a fast in this situation?
sacrificing a little bit of pain, maybe hunger pain, but not
the kind of pain that these families are suffering or that
the children are feeling?
Feeling some pain? This was dropped like a hot potato? Yeah.
We're just happened to this was like a week ago. So where's this
24 day fast? They
still fasting or they still fast? Somebody did it. Nobody
picked
it up. They said no, we're not fasting. We're just here to
protest. We're not here to starve ourselves.
We want wait with Starbucks nearby. We can't be doing that.
I don't see any any updates about this?
Because it failed. It was a fail epic fail.
It was a 24 day fasting chain. Initiated by Kerry Kennedy, the
daughter of late Robert F. Yeah, yeah, sure. She's out there.
She's still hunger striking.
No, there's this is all bull crap. These guys are fully full
of it.
And it apparently it was a 40 day hunger strike first. Now
that's kind of long overdue. One. Yeah. What is this?
hunger strikes are not effective. I mean, especially if
you think of just Trump is some sort of evil person, he just
like to say you die. By the way, I'm reminded of the era of the
George Bush administration where they of course, they all love
Bush now.
But they called him a Hitler and Nazi back then to call me a
Nazi and evil, and they would and there was this. We talked
about this on the show. There was this dichotomous approach to
him. One, he's the dumbest guy in the world. Yes, but
yet he's an evil genius.
But he's an evil genius is what the same thing they're
attributing to Trump. He doesn't know what he's doing. But
yes, he's got this horrible plan.
Make up your mind people as really quite quite a
quite astounding, really quite astounding and this is going on
everywhere. You know when? Because I have conversations
here in Austin to You know, and certainly certainly with
European Europeans are all up in arms about this and I said, I'm
sorry. At least we put them in cages. You had them in a frickin
camp and kallay 1000s 1000s of people stinking walking in their
own crackled
the jungle or whatever and
down, you know, hanging off of trucks. Cheese, at least we put
them in cages
is typical of any EU person is over here, you know
pontificating. It's like Piers Morgan and his antique stuff.
What is it Britain know about American philosophies regarding
guns, but it's nothing. Nothing. That's the point. They just want
to take their ideas and shove them over to us.
Well, the BBC is doing a fine job of, of equating everybody
who's against the overrun of the European Union planned as per
the color of the plan. There you know anyone who's against that,
who wants to defend their little nation state, it's not you're no
longer a country. Now you just have a state a state of the
European Union. Now they're racist. And this is all it's
exactly the same thing. Exactly the same. And so same people.
And this is the Hungarian foreign minister, who was
interviewed by BBC News nice a little bit long, but will take
us into the break because it's very in the guise. You can he
speaks English fairly well. And the idea here is look, we really
want to stop people at our border. And this was announced
by the Prime Minister what's his name again? The guy who kicks
Soros out of the country we don't we don't want this we
don't want you to hungry yeah. Barack Obama, not Oh, man.
That's that's a big that's a weak whiskey, isn't it? Oh, by.
It's Victor whiskey from now on. So here's the foreign manager
being challenged by BBC News
night. So current migration policy of the European Union can
be very easily translated as an invitation in the mindset of
those people who can easily make a decision to hit the road
towards Europe based on their everyday life situation
on World Refugee Day last week, he passed a new law which makes
it illegal to help migrants that criminalizes helping
undocumented immigrants and that includes asylum seekers. Why
would you do that?
There are organizations to help people to ask for asylum even if
they have no legal basis for that and promoting the violation
of the Hungarian border promoting
also this also tight dovetails in with its it's unclear who
exactly is behind it but the mission dash lifeline dot d
ship, which is a belongs to one or multiple NGOs who go pick
people up off the coast of Libya. Clients, I might remind
you, their clients, that's the same thing happening in Europe,
and then they bring them over and then the new Italian
government says yeah, no, no, you're not landing here. We
don't want you so they wind up in think Malta
eventually got where this last group went? Yeah, they go to
Malta. But but you know, if you're if you're an agreement
with Orban and his boys, you're an obviously Nazi fascist, I
have a history of dealing with Muslims. I was gonna say,
Hungary has quite a history when it comes to fascism. didn't go
so well for them.
Yeah, they don't. They don't like them to have this kind of
this disruptive listen to
and opportunities which have no legal basis. If you do so you
have to count with the consequences.
You you will be making it illegal to help refugees fill in
forms, you will make it punishable by jail to organize
or distribute information that could help migrants now you
accept this legislation not only flouts human rights, but it also
breaks an international treaty you have signed.
The content of the law is not what you have listed. The
content of the law is that if you promote illegal
possibilities, okay to come sorry to come to.
Because anyone who lands in your country who calls themselves an
asylum seeker has the right to have their papers and their
situation examined. And you are now making it illegal unless
I've got that wrong to help somebody find out or promote or
not,
we are from the south. We are surrounded by peaceful
countries. So those people who were violating our borders, all
came from peaceful countries like Serbia and Croatia. And
there is no no any point of reference in any piece of
international regulations, why you should be allowed or helped
or assisted to violate the border between two peaceful
countries.
This is a very good point, which I hadn't thought about and what
I've had to listen to this clip twice. to figure out what he was
saying. What he's saying is, if you are here, if you're seeking
asylum, then you need to seek asylum where you land, not land
in a country then come through that country then cross our
border and say we need asylum because I just came from
Croatia, is it this doesn't there's no historical rate,
because you should not need asylum from Croatia, nor should
you need asylum from
Mexico, which people are coming through. So the argument is the
same, though the challenge
is that, since the, the policy of the European Union is still
built on invitation, and there are 10s of millions around
Europe,
and by the way, when he says policy of the European Union is
invitation it is that is the color gi plan, which our buddy
Macron is this week really embraces, you know, there's
going to be hundreds of millions of Africans coming in, that's
what it is, we're beyond the point of no return. This is
great. Who can
hit the road very easy.
But we had to 1% in the last two years. And when you talk about
this invitation, if you were inventing something,
if you allow me to finish in the last three years, we had time to
build the capacities to be able to protect ourselves from the
south, we had the time to build capacities to control our
border. Now tell me if the Western Balkan route gets
activated again, who will stop the illegal migrants the first
defense line is still Hungary, the southern border of Hungary,
because because the countries south from us either do not have
the capacity or do not have the willingness to stop. Such kind
of influx is
this isn't actually about immigration as it is about
xenophobia?
No, I have to reject it. And I take it as an insult what you
have just said
he says, But he means insults because that was indeed quite
rude. She basically said your rear xenophobic,
meaningless to stop such kind of influxes.
This isn't actually about immigration as it is about
xenophobia.
No, I have to reject that. And I take it as an insult what you
have just said, Because We Hungarians, we do have the right
and no one, no one can take that away from us, we have the right
to make our own decision, whom we would like to allow to enter
the territory in Hungary, and who we do not allow to enter the
territory of Hungary
and don't want to come in John Muslims. Is that right? Just
Just if you can,
if you can, let me finish. I would like to answer your
previous question, because that was concluded by a very serious
insult against my country, and I have to reject it again.
Because, you know, I always have shown respect to everyone who
asked me but I expect respect, not for myself, because who
cares? But for my country and for the people I represent and
calling the countries on a phobic? You know, it's an
insult, especially if you put into consideration Hungary, and
no one can take away the decision, the right of
decisions. We've made sorry, with whom we would like to live
together. And yes, it is. It is our intention to keep Hungary
Hungarian country and we do not agree with those ones who say
that multiculturalism is by definition good. Yeah. In fact,
all the leaders of the EU said multicultural society failed.
So yes, yeah, we have to remember that. That commentary
they were they said it failed. Yeah, I probably have forgot
what it was that I think it was stance around that commentary
multi coat, I think it was. Let me see David Cameron. Here we
go. This is from a long time ago.
What I'm about to say, is drawn 2011 from the British
experience, but I believe there are general lessons for us all.
In the UK. Some young men find it hard to identify with the
traditional Islam practiced at home by their parents, whose
customs can seem staid, when when transplanted to modern
Western countries. But these young men also find it hard to
identify with Britain too, because we've allowed the
weakening of our collective identity. Under the doctrine of
state multiculturalism, we've encouraged different cultures to
live separate lives apart from each other. And apart from the
mainstream, we failed to provide a vision of society to which
they feel they want to belong. We've even tolerated these
segregated communities, behaving in ways that run completely
counter to our values. So when a white person holds objectionable
views, racist views, for instance, we rightly condemn
them. But when equally unacceptable views or practices
come from someone who isn't white, we've been too cautious,
frankly, frankly, even fearful to stand up to them. The failure
for instance, of some to confront the horrors of forced
marriage, the practice where some young girls are bullied and
sometimes taken when taken abroad to marry someone who they
don't when they don't want to is a case in point, this hands off
tolerance has only served to reinforce the sense that not
enough is shared. And this all leaves some young Muslims
feeling rootless, and a search for something to belong to, and
something to believe in, can lead them to this extremist
ideology, that for sure they don't turn into terrorists
overnight. But what we see and what we see in so many European
countries, is a process of radicalization.
There you go. Didn't work out so well.
And that was a very interesting commentary by Cameron. I don't
think that's the the clip that we're thinking of. But that was
a fundamental clip, for sure. Yeah.
There may be one where he actually says this fail. But you
know, that that was legal migration, legal migration into
the EU, into the UK, which was, interestingly, Pakistanis mainly
I would say, was done guilty Indians and Indians guilt was
forced upon the population like we were horrible a holes, we
were colonialists, we did horrible things. We've got to
let everybody we screwed over a guy let him come in, which is
not dissimilar to what you're hearing now. You know, we did
horrible things to slaves to brown, black, yellow people, red
people. So we've got to be we've got to change our ways and let
everybody overrun do whatever they want to do. It's the same
type of shaming. You'd think it was coordinated somehow. Well,
it's destructive. And people like Rob Reiner and his wife are
destructive individuals.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you John. As he stands for Caucasian is racist
Devorah

normal yeah Amsterdam.
In the morning Adam and John I had a weekend in Berlin and
filled with a large part of the seven hours drive to Berlin and
the seven hours back to Amsterdam to catch up with some
unheard parts of the best podcast in the universe. The
show is great long distance entertainment as well sorry to
hear about Adams hearing loss but great you can EQ and
compress now all the sounds around you
I gotta tell you about my visit to my audiologist after the
after this break.
Enjoy that as the end of my trip I ended up sunny Amsterdam over
the Thrash Baroque bridge, a bridge John Yeah, the show was
on and I had a car radio is experienced like Wow 35 years
ago Adam was on the FM pirate station decibel here in
Amsterdam and I still listen to the guy in my car for a moment
nothing had changed. Play the play the theremin please
nothing. Yeah Theramin is coming like gotta pull it out
thank you both very much for keeping me company on the 14
hour drive and all the great work you do.
I would like to point out that road Rick was also on the same
pirate radio station so whenever I listened I listened to his
podcast in the car and then I'll have the same basic experience.
Yeah, thank you very much. It was Rick. Make sure you check
out his podcast yo in Holland in Orlando.
Didn't hear the podcast ah,
it's I'm spacing on it right now make you look okay. Rosa. V ELO,
you'll get it.
The LvW e ello. Ser Karis K ry s in Somerville, Massachusetts.
$201.02. doing my part to keep the show alive. You both are
amazing as you keep up the great work and complete requests to
chemtrails and Obama you might die, sir carries. It's
the TPO podcast is Rodricks podcast. Okay.
And so what we're looking for here we're looking for you might
die and karma and
chemtrails. Yeah, and karma as well. Yeah, of course. Of
course. You've actually
stopped what? He wanted him in the other order. And I think for
good reason.
I want chemtrails first. Ah, yes, of course. Yes, I
understand. Let me get it back. We can do this and we'll try
again. Yes,
you've got
interestingly, I have not seen a decent Chem trail in Austin for
months, maybe maybe the entire year. And we used to have criss
crosses all the time. Like an apple pie.
Yes, because it did whatever. Take knew if the assuming there
work chemtrails didn't do anything. I'll turn everybody to
Democrats. All right.
Crime trails Greg
$200 commerce California from Lionel Ewing. I have been
listening for a year and I've been thinking about donating for
a while when I heard you were in Cabo San Jose. I was to be was
assigned to ask for some sailboat karma for my sailboat
sideways. Located in Cabo Cabo Cabo Cabo. He said cobalt, Cabo
San Jose, I'm going to make a big passage to end Sonata and
need all the help I can get. Wow, thanks for the sanity.
Okay.
Wow, this send us a note from from See you can be a ship at
sea.
That's Cabo on the on the eastern side. It is. So he's
gonna go through the Panama Canal.
And the Straits of Aden. I think he's, he's going all out. Here
you go, man. You'll need it.
You've got karma. In a
sailboat. Right on we got to summon
it costs. It attaches a fee to go through the canal. You don't
go for free. I wonder what it costs for a sailboat to go
through the Panama Canal? I'd be interested in hearing what the
book is what the
toll is.
Yeah. Are you even allowed to just have your rinky dink little
run up there? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not
saying the toll. I'm just asking. I have no idea.
Could be it's like you got low airplane and there's the you
want to land it to a big airport. You can do it.
Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. But usually people don't
do it. Because the toll if so if landing fees in Europe are quite
high. If you want to go to a big airport, you could be 500 euros
just for a landing. Yeah, you know, kind of discourages the
little smartlight Aava
that's the idea. Yeah, discourage it, but I don't know
this guy's got you know, the time and energy to go around
like he's not gonna go around South America to get there.
That's for sure.
Well, there's no other route. Nope.
So the troll room some are saying $500 Someone else at
$2,000 is it's enough is enough to discourage you from doing it.
That's for sure. Yeah,
I'm sure he's got the money. All right. For instead of going
there, just stay in Cabo. And it will take them I
think I think Cabo son, de se San Juan or San Lucas and I
think that's He said to San Mateo, San Jose, say I mean, San
Jose, I think that's the west side. I don't know
if that was San Jose. Now we have somebody that drove them.
Coquitlam is
where I got it from. They're saying it's on the west side.
Okay, so this doesn't have to go to the canal. But I still would
like to know what the fee is and whether a sailboat can go
through. Okay,
we will get that info to you stat, sir. Promise that. And
that's it right for our
HR Executive Associate Executive producers for show 1014 I want
to thank each and every one of them to help and support the
show, and produce the show.
It's all part of our no agenda family. It's the value network
that we've created over a decade working with producers around
the globe, who helped us with every aspect of the show, in
more ways than one. And just like Hollywood, we like to thank
our executive and Associate Executive Producers up front
because they are also really making it work for us. And we'll
be thinking more people in our second segment, for $50 at
above, and of course, we've got another show coming up on
Sunday, the deconstruction never stops. Remember us at
vora.org/and A go out there and tell people a little bit about
these organizations making all that money. Our formula is this,
we go out, get people in the mouth. To the hearing aid
business is a big scam.
I think you told us this already. Yeah, but I get the
same hearing aid for 15 bucks out of Hong Kong?
Well, no, you can get the same hearing aid. If you buy 100,000
of them for about 500 apiece, and even then it's not really
the same. But I had a visit with my audiologist yesterday as I
can, I'm still on the demo. The demo aids, I don't like that,
you know, it's like, Hey, man, how your aids like just call it
something else don't like that doesn't sound right. Here at
this. I've done a lot of research. And then the main
thing I was looking for, is I just want to be able to adjust
these 30. So it's anywhere from 30 to 48 channels of audio, it's
it's it's digital signal processing is just like the
podcast device I use here. I just want to control it myself.
And this is where the scam comes into play. The way the operation
is run,
is you
the prices of hearing aids are incredibly inflated,
just so that
well, they it's a protection racket. So they mark up these
devices from the manufacturer, the ones that I'm looking at now
will cost my audiologist somewhere in the region of
$1,700 just for her to purchase to resell to me. And then
whatever she wrote resells them to me for. I get all the visits,
I want for free built into that that's kind of the way the
system works, which is ridiculous for a number of
reasons. But the worst part is that if I want to get the
software and in order to program these, you need a loop a ring
around your neck is called a USB link. So it communicates
wirelessly with him. So you can do it on the fly. They won't
sell that to you. In fact, if I think if they found out that any
audio audiologist I won't mention any had given one to
somebody because they thought they would have a good time
working with this person on creating the perfect sound for
him. They would probably be cut off from selling their devices
altogether. Or kicked out or shamed or whatever.
Yeah. Oh, no, they there's actually illegal practices that
are that are literally cut you off. I can see that. Yeah, a lot
of businesses have that going on. Yeah, well, it's illegal.
It's illegal. What's illegal? What's the legal what part is
illegal? It's illegal for them to not sell you the thing on
fear that they get cut off. Ah, you can't do that while it's
happening. Yeah, well, there needs to be prohibition, you'd
be out of business, but you'd have to sue over in pretty much
have to go to the Supreme Court.
Is it? Is it a RICO thing? Is that like a
notch? You mentioned it? Ah, that's where you can maybe get
some action? Yeah, it's Rico. It's a racketeering.
Unbelievable.
Let's just say I happen to run across exactly what I needed in
the past few days. And, and it's going very well. Very happy. I
am singularity man. I'm there. This is so good. I would
recommend you get a pair. You have no i because it really
enhances your entire awareness of stuff. Even if you have good
hearing you can your hearing can't be perfect at this point
is yeah,
I'm too old to have perfect earring I can't hear. I can't In
fact, there's that one little note they play play. In fact,
there's a test where they can play you can tell somebody's
age, but can you hear this? Can you hear this? And the hands go
up and up. The hands start dropping because you can't hear
it. And then you get a 10 year old can hear and only when they
can hear it, you know that that gag? Well, yeah, I wouldn't mind
hearing those those with those false strings. But then again,
those are the sounds that they play outside his stores. I know
in California they do this even though they bet you about it to
keep the kids from loitering.
They painful sounds in higher regions. Yeah. Really? No,
yeah, they put them outside of the store, you have this sound,
you buy this gear, and you put it in, if you have a bunch of
loitering kids outside your store, you put this noisemaker
up there and it doesn't nobody's bothered by this app, these
teens.
That's interesting, especially since it just came out the
regarding high frequencies. I'm just transitioning here.
Facebook apparently filed a patent for exactly what I've
been talking about last month, I think about the ultrasonic cross
device tracking. So they filed a patent where face bag can embed
high frequency tones into television shows or commercials,
and it will then activate the Facebook app, the microphone
will be listening with your consent, because that's what
they've always said we don't do that without consent. So you'll
you'll give consent, trust me the next upgrade you get
whatever you want. The next upgrade, yeah, whatever fine
click consent, in order to well, they're saying right now in the
patent is just so that people will know if you were if the ad
was playing or not. But obviously, we can see all the
problems that goes along with that. Now, the phone that I was
interested in the Nokia 881 10 the 4g that we talked about that
even you got a little excited about. That was how it worked
out that night and say you're all worked out you were a little
excited.
That'd be cool. But dead again, you know, I don't care. I don't
even carry the phone half the time.
Well, I got two phones in this week. I got the Nokia 3110 The
three g 2017. Phone this phone is fantastic. It does even less
than the Nokia II 71. And I don't miss any of it
really is less What do you mean by less?
So when you send the newsletter, I can I can get it. I can read
it, but I can't edit it. There's no editing software on the
phone. I also can't reply to the forwarded messages that come in
through MMS. I wish I could do on the on the Nokia on the on
the E 71. But it's kind of okay, because the phone is fast. It
you know the browser is fast, you can still do you know if you
have a webmail, you can get to it. There's a an email IMAP
client, which is crap. It would let you download 50k of
attachments. It sucks. But the disappointing the really
disappointing thing was this 8110 which has the new operating
system Chi O S kio s. And I was already this. Yeah, it's well,
it's a fork of the old Firefox OS, which I think in turn is a
version of Linux somehow. I'm not sure.
I'm sure it stems from Linux.
And that was exciting. Like, oh, this is great. You know, it's an
again, it's just a browser. I got one I got the I bought one
off of eBay. And I promptly somehow got one that has all the
wrong radio. So it doesn't work. But it was only a 90 bucks. So
Yeah.
Where's it work is gonna have a radio for some place. You might
want to keep it in, you know, on the site. Yeah. Well, if
I go to Hong Kong or CDMA? No, it's not CDMA just has the wrong
radios the wrong frequency. It's that GSM 918 100. And I think T
Mobile is 700. And some other
resolutions they have for radio to at least three radios in
Yeah, not well, this is a cheap, this is a 70 bucks, you know,
and eventually it'll go on sale in the States. But that's not
the problem. Just when I was like, Okay, this will be good.
And by the way, predictive text. That's just kind of works. I
forgotten how good that was. Remember the perfect predictive
text on your phone? Did you ever use that? No, probably not.
You're talking to the wrong guy wrong.
Can I use voice for my texting, right?
Yeah. So you're sending all your messages to Google so that they
can store what you said? It's good idea? Absolutely. Well,
then you should get the Nokia 8110 Because Google just
invested $22 million in Kayo s to bring maps YouTube and
assistant to the to the feature phone. So they just ruined it.
They did they ruined it. These guys are just idiots. They
ruined it. And yeah, I'm sure notifications are next, which is
the whole one of the whole purposes of not having this is
don't You don't want apps. You want a
paper map. You don't want an assistant
on this would be good for you. Probably you just talking to a
talk to Google. So yes, hey, Google, so you can pose all your
messages on the phone erase
my hard disk. Google erase my hard disk.
Did you hear what happened? Of course you did. Because you
responded on Twitter, this was the best OTG well, actually two
reports came out and they may not be unrelated. First, Slack
went down. Now, Slack is integrated in a lot of
companies, big and small it is, is, you know, a hot hot hot
workflow, group collaboration piece of gear. And it went down
and just Twitter exploded with people like, well, I guess
there's jokes now it's like, oh, we can get back to being
productive. But obviously, obviously, you can't, if you're
within an organization. So this is Professor Ted laughing in his
cell. And then pretty much all of Google Home went down. You
know, Google the great guys, and they're always around and it's
reliable and then never worry about that. I love that. So
people's lights couldn't be turned on and off with the hey
google turn on the lights, the Nest thermostats were not
functioning. The Talking tubes were not working. It's got to be
some kind of warning people. It's not a good idea to have
your have your life connected to these types of services. It's
cool. And it's it's fun. But when it really comes down to it,
it's it's a problem.
Well, I'm glad that you're on it. Yeah. And I just had to play
the jingle.
I play the jingle to close out the segment. No final thing I
had, I had a genius idea. Oh, yeah.
Another moneymaker for the no agenda from the brains that
brought you no agenda? Yes. Here we go.
Now, to have
the talking to capability, whether it's Alexa or Google, or
whatever,
the only thing you have, but you might apparently have lost
interest in
No, I I'm using it every day, but it takes too long and you
get antsy and you get annoyed so I don't use it on the show. I
use it at home all the time. I control it completely. It
doesn't talk to anyone else, but me. I would like to have that in
my hearing aids. Yeah. Imagine that.
You could just be walking down the street to yourself. Like,
I'd be like,
hey, Mycroft What's the weather like? I'm telling you this. This
is where it's going. This is going this
is where you're going to be
the booby hatch phrase from the chaise. Oh my goodness it is
somehow I have to say it's a very weird experience because it
does connect to the iPhone. When you when you're just walking
around and you forget about him after four days I forgotten I'm
wearing these things. And you click play on something and all
of a sudden the sound is just in your head and no, there's no
bleeding out. No one can hear anything from the side of the of
the earbuds
I would I would disable that immediately. It's fantastic.
why would why would you disable it?
No need that kind of aggravation?
Is that aggravation you can really you can hear stuff you
can hear rock out hey, you
bounce down the street and shake heads going around. You're like
this that you do you would look like a lunatic. I know it well.
Maybe he's listening to some headphones or he's got no
headphones on. He's just jacking around like that. Who knows why
stay away from him. And if you'd get a bit Deadwood the really
top it off you needed a big P wet spot on your on your pants.
To go anywhere, I guarantee no one's gonna mess with you.
Well OTG achieved I would say thanks. Thanks for that visual.
That really helps. I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad you encouraged my
experimentation with insults. That's always nice as well. I'm
sorry if you did that was an insult.
Even work in he doubles down on me.
So let's get this out of the way before it's too late because I
think it is too late. But maybe today's still a good day. But
here it is pot on sale.
Ah yes.
There's a marijuana blowout sale going on California. Legal
dispensaries have slashed prices up to 50% before new testing
rules take effect on Sunday. After that shops will be forced
to destroy pot that wasn't properly tested or packaged. The
state legalized recreational marijuana in January Yeah,
no pot on sale. People gotta get a credit when listening to the
live broadcast get down to the dispensary
immediately. Oh, because they're gonna destroy it, huh?
Yeah, it's gonna be a great bonfire. Very popular event my
good This Hey, did you hear about this pedo bear arrest?
Which Oh, man, yes, you're rested a bear.
Yes. Now the head it caught my attention because you know, all
the Pizzagate people aren't are not talking about it. Typical,
although some have inserted this new line. Here's the headline
FBI Conan Clinton campaign official arrested on child rape
charges.
Yes. I saw that. Funny.
So I guess the guy campaign for Hillary I don't think he was in
the campaign.
But like Baba Doppel is what did he do,
but it's much more disturbing. So this guy, Joel Davis is 22.
And he was actually running. He's the chairman of the
international campaign to stop rape and gender violence in
conflicted region, classic classic. He was sending text
messages and you got the FBI trapped him. And he was sending
text messages to nine year old girls. He admitted according to
the reporting to offers easy to abuse a 13 year old boy in the
past and kept child porn images on his phone. What I always say
is you're right. It's a classic classic for this guy to be in an
org like that. It's just interesting how it's been tied
into to classical into
it. Well, good work.
It's work, Roger.
Yeah. You really you really on the Roger Stone doing all this?
Yeah, I am. Someone is
someone's doing a good job incidence.
And the guy's laying low. And next thing, you know, something
like this comes out. I mean, it's one thing after another and
as the NBC target is just obvious, it's something's up. I
mean, NBC has targeted and it's gonna go, it's gonna be hitting
all kinds of NBC executives, eventually getting Comcast until
they knuckle under your watch.
I want to ask your question. I didn't hear the latest D H
unplugged. Did you guys talk about the looming deadline for
the 5000 cars a month from Tesla?
No, not much. Because,
you know, I guess he has to be producing 5000 cars by the model
x's or whatever it is, by the end of June. Otherwise, he broke
his promise.
But that, yeah, it was it's like you got a big teddy bear to put
up a big tent and a phony baloney line. He did that.
Yeah, I love that big 10 I just want to I just want to say I
really enjoy the fact that these Tesla vehicles, when they crash
into something, they burst into flames. I'm really enjoying this
fact. Most cars, you know, they just, you know, they might catch
fire. But these things actually explode into burst into flames,
which you can't extinguish.
This is great.
Well, there's a couple of things that should be noted for people
who like to invest in this stuff, the the death of the
muscle car in the 60s and 70s, where you had the bear the Hemi
Cuda, which was like I think where it peaked, we had this
little barracuda, little small car with his monster engine in
it, it would just tear up the place. Those things all went
into decline until we're ready till the bottom around 1975 When
When high horsepower cars were almost all gone from the roads
and the hinges roll detuned and a lot of this had to do with the
gas gasoline problems too. But it was largely to do with one
other factor insurance guy insurance companies all out of
the blue, they all said you know what? These overpowered cars are
dangerous. You want to have one you can have a but you got to
pay huge amounts of insurance. This is actually what's killed
off the rebuild of the area around Biloxi, Mississippi. You
can't buy I mean, there's beautiful houses still there.
And there's then you can just a lots lots of lots because
there's a lot of the coastal places were wiped out. And I've
just people, why aren't they rebuilding? You can't renew your
insurance. Yeah, insurance makes a big difference. So the
insurance companies have gotten a clue and they've decided that
text Tesla's insurance is going to start skyrocketing. Yeah, and
the reason isn't because they're blowing up all the times is
because they're not repairable.
Yeah, that just disintegrates.
Well. Even if you if it doesn't blow up and disintegrate if you
get a dent in it. Yeah. Because everything's so integrated those
wires and electricity running through the whole thing every
which way. Nobody can. You can't take it to a body shop and
actually just fix it. Yeah, and so it's like cost and so you
can't fix it, but it costs like way more than it should. So the
insurance skim, you're just gonna beg off on it.
Well, there's something else is very dangerous that I realized
the other day because of course, you know, when he still had it,
I borrowed the former New York Bankers Tesla. And there's
something inherently dangerous about the way they've put taken
all controls of the vehicle and put them onto the screen pretty
much everything except I think for the electric windows.
Just like an aviation, there's tactile
controls that have a special look and or feel more more feel
actually, specifically to keep you safe while you're flying. So
as an example, when you put your flaps up or down, the knob for
that is a flat square knob, which resembles a flap your gear
and you've seen it you've seen it in cockpits, you know, is a
big rubber knob that resembles a big rubber wheel, and that's
down or up for your wheel. So you have this feedback mechanism
that you know, you're grabbing the right control by moving
everything. I mean, radio, there's another great example.
But when they got rid of the volume, the hubs Yeah, you've
got on the steering wheel and the Tesla but you know, just
looking for stuff you're always looking at the screen. The
screen is it draws your attention, I think is very
dangerous. Just the whole idea of taking a tactile control.
And I don't like to centralize stuff when I was testing cars.
And I was driving a one of these little Ford's little kid I can't
remember the model number for I drove it from Washington State
to back to California. I was taking J back. And we're in this
car and had Microsoft sync
it off. Yeah, that's for Yeah, Ford uses that.
Well, they don't anymore. That means it's so it crashed. But
there was a DVD in the player that was playing this one
Christmas song. And it went on permanent repeat Oh noes. And
you couldn't turn it off. You couldn't push the eject button.
The thing that the little Ford SYNC was was done it wasn't
going to give you know yet no controls and they did control
the DVD player or the CD player. And so I had we had listened to
the same song replay and replay and replay went on for over an
hour. And then it was just enough to drive you crazy.
Luckily, they had the heat controls and everything else
were handed you know they are smart enough not to put those
into the Microsoft product because you'd be in a hot
boiling car with a song playing it's like torture. And so
luckily it rebooted after about an hour in the kick the discount
but now it's nonsense.
Yeah, well, I was just telling
me a knob
I got the knob right here my friend. I'm ready for you.
Yeah,
I don't like that at all. And I also there's something about the
test that you don't have I like I don't even like it in the
Prius where you you don't if I'm look I like to look between my
steering wheel and see the speed all the still the gauges and
things. I'm not like I'm staring at him. I just like to see him
right there. I don't want to see him over to the right or over my
head or on some screen. I just don't like it. I don't like
looking because I can get to the road easier. In terms of my
eyeballs. I can move this look at the road. Look at the speed
look at the road.
It's not a big movement.
Okay, so we hate the Tesla Great.
Oh, it was it was just an observation. It's it'll be in
the news. Yeah, it'll be a big thing. And meanwhile, the stock
just keeps on going up. Oh, that works. The way it went down to
the 250. We predicted but then it just boom just went back up.
Yeah, it's an interesting speculation. Yeah,
not for me. A little too rich for my blood. So this, we had
this upset in New York, in in Morocco, which is I think amidst
all of the racism taking place as a is a shining light for the
Democratic
Party. Uhm Aberdeen lookalike.
Yes, Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez. And her story is interesting.
And I think I'm going to call bullshit on her story with
because she really came out of nowhere. The the way it's been
positioned is she was just an educator, a community organizer.
Just a gender bartender. working mom. I think she's the CO mom. I
don't know. And now so she wins. She beats out this blowhard in
New York, which I guess is pretty good. I mean, I'm all I'm
all for.
A guy does sound like Bruce Springsteen when he sings? He
does. Yeah. Do you have a clip? No one cares about the whole
thing personally.
Here's a she's 28 She does indeed look a bit like Oh, my
Aberdeen and I think there's a lot more similarities. But
first, let's listen to her campaign video. This is the
video that I How much money she had. But I
outspent her 80 to one. Excellent.
Women like me aren't supposed to run for office. I wasn't born to
a wealthy or powerful family, mother from Puerto Rico, dad
from the South Bronx. I was born in a place where your zip code
determines your destiny. My name is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. I'm
an educator, an organizer, a working class New Yorker. I've
worked with expectant mothers, I've waited tables and led
classrooms and going into politics wasn't in the plan. But
after 20 years of the same representation, we have to ask,
who has New York been changing for every day gets harder for
working families like mine to get by the rent gets higher.
Health care covers less and our income stays the same? It's
clear that these changes haven't been for us, and we deserve a
champion. It's time to fight for New York that working families
can afford it. That's why I'm running for Congress. This race
is about people versus money. We've got people, they've got
money. It's time we acknowledge that not all Democrats are the
same. That a Democrat who takes corporate money, profits off
foreclosure doesn't live here doesn't send his kids to our
schools doesn't drink our water or breathe our air cannot
possibly represent us. What the Bronx and queens needs is
Medicare for All tuition free public college, a federal jobs
guarantee and criminal justice reform. We can do it now. It
doesn't take 100 years to do this. It takes political courage
of New York for the many is possible. It's time for one.
Vote for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on June 26.
So here's her full program, her platform, she is fighting for
Medicare for all, which you would like a universal jobs
guarantee.
Yeah, whatever that means. We
serve archaeon. And by
the way, if you listen to it, it was a universal federal jobs
guarantee, I think in her little spiel,
oh, could be fully funded public schools and universities, paid
family and sick leave housing as a human right. Justice system
reform which includes ending the war on drugs, I'm all for that
the militarization of our police for that and abolish for profit
incarceration. We can we can jump on board with all of those
I guess, even much but then immigration justice protects
dreamers.
She's a no borders girl.
She had no nation. Oh, yeah. No nation while she's a Democratic
socialist, protect dreamers and TPS recipients. That's
temporary. Stay. So Prince
Oh, is the podcast.
It's TPO podcast. TPS is for instance, the
report you had to do and
TPS report? Yeah, it's not what it is. It's when you get
temporary stay rights for, for instance, the Haitians who are
still taking advantage of that. Right. Simplify the path to
citizenship and abolish ice. And just a quick thing on that. Ice
is not a necessarily a new organization. It it
was a they folded in
some of the old customs border patrol. I don't know if you call
them divisions or whatever you call it, along with some DHS.
The it's not like they built a whole new team
around during the Patriot Act. Yes. It's a reorg. And I
will say nothing pisses me off more than these guys having
their weigh stations in Texas anywhere within 100 miles of the
border. And I think that was that was a bush thing, probably
Patriot Act as well or how it was interpreted. And they can
they think they can stop you and say are you an American citizen?
Oh, yeah, this they have come up in Washington state these guys
which is not legal, and you don't have to answer and there's
tons of YouTube videos of people saying Am I being detained? For
what grounds and if you're not being detained, you don't have
to answer I hate that. I really despise that. But that's been
going on for a long time. Infrastructure overhaul. And
with that, she says invest in 100% renewable green industry
Nuclear, I'd say so I can be on board with that
they won't do that
clean campaign finance, meaning ending the corrupting influence
of corporate finance and public elections, and an economy of
peace.
And by the way, I would find itself contradictory. That
campaign finance thing she'd beat a guy who was just was
taken advantage of that system that she didn't spin and she
managed it. So it proves that it's bullcrap. Hillary's the
same thing. Yes. And in fact, this guy, that Bruce Springsteen
guy, yeah, that was the Congressman there for 20 years.
He was sucker punched by this. He, he was again, it was like a
Hillary the situation where he didn't, he had bad advice. They
had a debate she the local station, they had a debate or
they guess was just maybe it was just a debate in high school or
something. She showed up and he sent a representative.
What an idiot. Yeah, good move, bro. Dumbo. Now you said uma
Aberdeen and I have a clip here of her right after she won. And
she's speaking to a very small group of people, which I think
is her team. So it may be 2030 people and there's a lot of
hooting and hollering and she's standing on a table in what
looks like a bowling alley. And she's you know, she's this is
her thank you speech to her people. So I understand that but
two things really. And you kind of have to see it to appreciate
the finger wagging she has this finger she'd like she keeps you
know how most politicians have been taught to put their thumb
on top of their fist. So you never want to point a finger.
So she'll say Clinton does it the way Bill Clinton does it
Bill Clinton every
president since Bill Clinton has done that.
Yeah, you're not supposed to point a finger Yeah, wave a
finger ever.
Yeah, so she hasn't quite got gotten that memo yet. But you
can tell that she's been told because she near the end she she
does the thumb but in the beginning it's finger finger
finger finger and her cadence and everything to me said I
don't know if it's really just a coincidence with New York and
Hillary Clinton having been a senator from New York and she
looks like oh my Aberdeen there's all these things I mean,
I just can't ignore it and her cadence to and the thing she
says just really reminds me a bit of Hillary and
for you before he played a clip I do want to mention that that
thing you played previously was extremely high end professional
beautifully shot beauty was not some sellout
not a $10,000 video no
it was it was done by the big boys It was done by people that
knew what they were doing and this guy who got kicked out was
somewhat see I don't know how we how we let this happen but he
did he's dumb
I'm sure he was a douchebag like all politicians
he looks like she went to
much for this moment is an interesting contrast but it's
victory tonight every single person in this room one big one
that seats every person out here this evening changed America
tonight
very very clear is that this is not an end
here are sciences I want to make it very very clear. I'm this
these are all Clinton isms that's coming out here.
I'm sorry. I'm gonna disagree with you after you're done with
this clip.
I don't have to play to you disagree. Now it's easier to
long
I believe Charles Schumer's behind her those dos Clinton
isms that you're hearing are also Schumer. Okay? And he needs
somebody to replace Anthony Weiner. He's a loudmouth. He's a
good good, good, good. He's gonna be the next senator. If if
if he can control her.
Yeah, well, now let's listen with those ears on as well.
Very, very clear, is that this is not an end. This is the
beginning.
And now that you say that you're so smart. I don't even know why
I complimented you with that. You didn't deserve that from me.
But okay. When I did that CNN thing remember was back in the
in the late 80s. It'll be so fun to have the MTV young guy. Go
interview the young councilman from New York Anthony Weiner.
And as a part of that special we also went to the sea. No, it was
a it was a DC maybe it was DC Interview Chuck Schumer. And it
was so obvious that no, this was his boy. This was his boy from
beginning to end, from finances to mentorship, guidance,
everything so it makes total sense what you're saying. And
they're cheering for you.
The message that we sent the world tonight is that it's not
okay to put donors before your community
tonight is that is that improved and expanded Medicare for all
health care for every single person in America is what we
deserve as a nation. Tonight, in the sometimes the deep midnight
and darkness that it feels in our political environment, that
there is still hope for this nation. You have given every
person in this country you have given this country hope you have
given this country proof that when you knock on your
neighbor's door, when you come to them with love, when you let
them know that no matter your stance, you are there for them
that we can make change.
What you have shown is that this nation is never beyond remedy.
It is never beyond hope. It is never too broken to fix. We will
be here and we are going to rock the world and the next.
Rocket that goes on goes on for a little bit. The video is worth
looking at but you are I think you're right this there's no way
she came out of nothing. In this type of landslide she had
definite help. And I'm so you think that Hillary was not
involved at all in this case?
No, I don't think she would be for a couple of reasons. One,
she was a big Bernie woman and I think he's she's very she's very
grudge oriented. She wouldn't have anyone had anything to do
with that horrible man Bernie. And so there's that and I think
that it she's has all the earmarks of a Wiener, this
loudmouth scream. Yeah. And it's like you'd pick her because
she's only 28. And maybe God knows there's a hopefully she's
only 28. So we can maybe hope to God that she doesn't have
skeletons in her closet like Wiener, you know, and have some
background that is embarrassing. She was a stripper or something
like that. She's always the fear because you especially going to
groom her so she's going to be groomed to be a loudmouth New
Yorkers. Yes. Nick, you know, we're gonna go pull things.
Did you see Hillary though in at Oxford?
No, I did not. Would you like to hear some of it? Of course, I
love listening to Hillary,
I believe we are at a global tipping point, tipping point
moment that will determine whether we hold to the
principles of free people, human rights and democracy or retreat
into closed societies oppression and authoritarianism.
How was thinking about that? All these no nations no borders
people. We got a lot of we got a lot of them in America. A lot of
No Nation. No borders. Bleep.
I don't know how you get that way. But okay. Yeah. And it was
because the schools, the schools do not take to really teach you
a true American history, but in what they teach you the
internationalism,
and why don't the schools teach the metric system?
They keep trying.
Because if you truly want to be compatible with your compadres
for no nations, no border and
gig I remember I remember when I was during the heyday of PC
Magazine in the probably in the late 80s. And even before that,
I would always get notes from people saying, hey, for papers,
where it's headed back, they're going to stop eight and a half
by 11, is not because they're gonna discontinue it by law. And
I remember hearing this over and over and over an a4 paper. And
by the way, I don't know about I mean, we do have a lot of
artists and I think a4 paper is ugly. It's hard to say a blank
piece of paper is ugly. But I think the proportions of a4
paper and people can go look at it and buy it you get if you
write to a British corporation, you get it back in a4. Usually.
It's I think the dimensions are creepy. It's a lousy dimensional
type of paper. I hate it. And the st. And then I heard that
when I was in grammar school, when I was a little kid, and I'm
old, I was hearing about metrics Oh, metrics, metrics, metrics,
metrics gonna take over and by law, they're gonna make it make
metrics. We get something in our culture that doesn't let this
stuff happen. Now
when you were talking about these dimensions, I immediately
thought how does this tie into Fibonacci because we have the
golden ratio, which is what it should be. shouldn't just all
paper be the isn't that what is a three the golden ratio is that
you can look it up. I don't know what the golden ratio is
regarding to letterhead paper. But I don't think that eight and
a half by 11 is the golden ratio. It may not. I don't know
what it is. But that's different because the golden ratio or the
golden ratio.
I only say that because you said it doesn't feel right. It feels
uncomfortable, or it's like oh, that's because not there's not a
Fibonacci ratio.
It's It's possible, but the goat but that usually we have the
golden ratio refers to the images and how they're how
they're dimension dimensioned need to do that, on the pay on
the on the sheet on the art or whatever. It's not the same as
it's still raw piece of paper. being creepy. It's too narrow.
Well, I grew up with a four so feel squirrel,
but you
hate eight and a half by 11. You're engaged? No,
I don't care. Either way. I don't care print. Just print
something out for me. I don't care. It doesn't, doesn't
disturb me that much. But I'm just saying that if you're going
to be all nations, no borders do a better job on the metric
system. It is easier
dreamiest ideologies are on the rise. And adding to the tumult
is the fact that the forces that undermined America's election in
2016 are still with
us. She's running baby she is she is gonna
threaten other democracy out
of the country, though.
Well, that's smart. It's a smart thing to do. Stay, doesn't wanna
get killed is to stay out of the way you never know what's gonna
happen,
threatening other democracies, including this one. Now in the
US, it was a perfect storm, deep currents of anger and resentment
flowing through our culture. She is political press that told
voters my emails were the most important story. Unprecedented
intervention in our election by the FBI, and an information
warfare campaign waged from the Kremlin from the Kremlin. Now,
what we have learned about Russian interference in 2016, is
more than alarming is a clear and present danger to Western
democracy. In the US, we know that Russian agents used
Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube and other online
platforms to place targeted ads to run phony news stories
negative stories, intended not only to hurt me, but to fan the
flames of division.
Really, we needed help. We needed help with that. I don't
think so
within our society. So Russians posed as Americans pretending to
be environmental advocates or racial justice activists.
I love her cadence like this when she's just saying it's it,
but but based on business data,
they even worked on you know, she always had people I remember
years ago before she ran this probably in the 90s, where
people would go and Oh, women, mostly because there's a lot of
women in this country that just idolized her. And that's where
they weren't gonna listen anything bad about it. Oh, I
went, Oh, Hillary's gonna be next credit. i And you know
what's great about her. She's such a great public speaker. And
I listened to her and she would, she was the type of public
speaker, especially in those days, I think she's not as bad
anymore, where she would say each word individually. And the
her whole speech should be like that, like she was talking to a
little five year old or something where you have to
enunciate and slow down. And I was thinking she's, you know,
you think this is great public speaking. And that's what she's
doing and that what you're witnessing is the leftovers of
that cadence. And that would come and it comes out all the
time. When she gets started to get serious she starts to talk
like you're a little kid being talked down to.
Sorry, game for us to
run phony news stories, negative stories, intended not only to
hurt me, but to fan the flames of division within our society.
So Russians posed as Americans, pretending to be environmental
advocates or racial justice activists. They even held phony
demonstrations, often with a woman dressed in a prison garb,
in a cage where everyone was yelling, lock her up. Oh, we are
in the midst of a global struggle between liberal
democracy and a rising tide of illiberalism
illiberal liberalism. Now there's there's a term I haven't
heard yet. I'm gonna look it up here. illiberalism
last summer Putin has positioned himself as the leader of an
authoritarian, white supremacist and xenophobic movement
wants to his right back, was that?
I said, get those words back in there.
Yeah. Do you know that there's a there's a gay guy running for
mayor of Moscow. He's openly gay and it's not a problem in Russia
turns out this xenophobic, they gotta get on the stick. They're
not doing not keeps up. They're not hating, right,
of illiberalism. Vladimir Putin has positioned himself as the
leader of an authoritarian, white supremacist and xenophobic
movement that wants to break up the EU and NATO weaken America's
and I think
the EU is doing a fine job of breaking up the EU without us
Atlantic
alliances, that traditionally have served us well and
undermine democracy anywhere and everywhere they can everywhere.
We can see this authoritarian movement rippling out from the
Kremlin reaching across Europe and beyond emboldening right
wing nationalists, separatists, racists, and even Neo Nazis. I
hear a lot from young people in the United States who are not
just discouraged by the Trump administration, understandable,
but they are disgusted by politics and disenchanted with
our democratic system. They've been told by voices on both the
left and the right that it's a rigged game. And a natural
conclusion is to believe there is no reason to keep playing
ah, this is where the pitch comes get out and vote.
I understand that reaction with a Oxfordian is
going to vote where they're going to do
now she's doing this for the home base man is that for
Oxfordian she didn't care about them she just wants to be get on
video undisturbed and say what she wants to say and so that can
go wrong because it's part of her her ploy you know I raised
ill liberalism is just the lack of liberalism. It's not like
anything it's not anti it's not anti liberal. It's just you
don't watch is the lack of
hyper partisanship and polarization gridlock and
stalemate all undermine confidence in the democratic
process. And these problems are exacerbated in America by the
actions of an administration waging war on the rule of law, D
legitimizing elections, undermining truth and reason
attacking the press for reporting their words and deeds.
perpetrating shameless corruption and rejecting the
idea that our leaders should be public servants who put the
common good over their own personal and political
interests.
I just little sampling of her speech I liked that I liked the
you know, we're ripping apart the EU. I think it was let me
just go back.
Who was her? To her big
secretary, her big state department. Guru. What was her
name again?
Remember when she was in Ukraine? Now all important
orient Nuland yes dropping off laughing This is what I'll
choose working directly for Hillary.
I'm going to show my school by donation. Imagine all the people
who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
we do if you'd be able to thank for show 1046 And get some
letters. We also got a note from anonymous from Dogpatch
replacing the coin with a different coin. And then he felt
bad about it. said there were just well, I should have got a
couple of coins from some other people a couple of silver
dollars.
Walk at Liberty. Liberty dollar walking. Nice. Nice to see you.
Very nice. I
get to cash him in eventually.
I can just see you're going to the new master ces meet up.
Oh, we have a gold place in Albany, California. That is it's
like a big, it's famous and they swap gold and everything. Oh,
all right. It's a real entity real operation been there for
decades. I just read his notebook because he's been
important to us. I made many mistakes in my career, and I've
been dandies, for some men damned expensive. Rushing to
send the coins and not packaging them properly is one I can
afford to absorb. So enclosed has replaced Bitcoin I did
intend for you to have two for Eid. After all ei D the Muslim
was party time. Yeah.
Muslim party time.
Yeah, yeah,
it's American this time but made it the same stuff. He didn't
need to have another Krueger to the person who found it. If this
is interesting, if you're a listener, congratulations on the
fine. He has some information here that I'm not going to read.
If the coin is somehow lost in a machine, dear machine, when you
connect to the internet and search for anyway, he's talking
about getting the coin back at him. My comment about signing up
for global Andrew is not to expedite international entry,
but to get a trusted traveler number that is assigned when you
sign up for Global Entry. Yes, you get the number and use it
for all domestic bookings. Oh, yeah. And you will
Yes. And I do that, and I don't get TSA PreCheck and lesson with
Tina, because she has a much better FICO score.
He says, Oh, really? Yes.
Then she Lords that over me. If I travel alone,
then his commentary is inaccurate because he says you
always get it most of the time. Don't get it. But no, you're
right. No because of FICO score, that's disgusting. Well, that's
Tina's interpretation. And I kind of I'm willing to agree.
And she doesn't have a trusted traveler number.
But if I traveled with her, we always both get pre checked if I
travel alone, back of the line, even though I have the Trusted
Traveler number and everything.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Yes. In a
nutshell. All right. Well. Alright, let's take a few people

this discussion. We have Eagle Scouts we got ham radio

yes. And they know all these things. So he's got a long
exposition I couldn't read read the whole thing but he He says
yeah goes into but and he has all these reasons for it. So I'm
not going to read that no it's too long but I'll put it it will
be discussed again. He also I got a note from Joel Nelson. I
wanted to read his notes at the beginning of it so we can have a
little sense of things he says after listen to you always pause
the podcast for six months I never really thought the United

you and the other producers make it out to be I was wrong. It's
like living in another country compared to Colorado and

drivers are suicidal maniacs. Do not leave anything in your car
ever.
Strange Land stranger people, huh? Anyway, thank you both for
your work on the podcast and now see the media and politics in a
new light. Something that I would like to hear is the
economic impact of the tariffs and counter tariffs currently
hailing from Minnesota, where they have a yearly contest for
Princess Kay of the Milky Way, complete with a 1200 90 pound
butterhead. I found the tidbit on the Canadian Canadian Canada
Navy and tariffs on milk. Very interesting. Well, we don't want
to talk about the no but it's not a it's a news deconstruction
show. It's not a it's not a analysis.
I did learn something about Canadian steel. From one of our
steel workers, we have steel workers in the audience forgot
to mention that group. Oh, yeah, we get them to that. The reason
why Trump I don't know if it's imposed now or not. I've kind of
lost track. Wanting to put a tax on Canadian steel is because
Canadians import a lot of Chinese steel and sell that on
to us as Canadian steel. It only has to be on the on the shores
of Joe
chap in Canada as all of a sudden Canadian. Yeah,
yeah. And so I believe. Trudeau, if I understand the reporting
correctly, has now put some kind of kibosh on the Chinese steel
coming in. He's basically folded which was the whole idea. Yeah,
that was the whole idea.
I didn't I didn't realize
that's a bluffers game idea. Guys. playing fast and loose
this Trump guy. Yes.
Yes. You sent me a cool video. SpaceForce Corso son, the guy
who wrote the day after? Yes, yes.
If a show is you get to play.
Do you want me to? I mean, no, I don't have a lot of ill No, I
don't have a lot of crazy stuff. But what I found interesting in
the video you sent me and so Corso wrote the book The Day
After Roswell. And he you know, it is a lot of it's a book well
worth reading, recommended by John who scoffs at these kinds
of things. So you know, it's good that his son was
interviewed. And you know, he's reiterating a lot of what his
dad said. And it's very interesting to watch about the
intergalactic work, things that are going on, such as the lunar
orbital platform gateway, you might want to look that one up.
That's real. That's a billion dollar launch platform we're
building in space to launch off into other galaxies or maybe
just to stop Muslims. Now, one of the other Yeah, you didn't
hear we have a Muslim ban. John, not not a trial, but a Muslim
ban. Yeah, that was a travel ban. But okay. No, M five M
calls it the Muslim ban, which
must be the AP style guide.
Oh, that I don't think AP does it but everyone else is like,
Muslim ban, even though we didn't ban anyone from Pakistan,
so it failed. But in this, he has this, this whole rap and I
don't have a clip, but I'm saying because maybe other
people can help me because I looked around quite a bit. And I
think that's why you sent it to me. Maybe I misunderstood. But
he says oh, yes. The the pow is the missing in action soldiers
in North Korea has something to do with alien visitation and
UFOs. Yeah. And I
looked around on more than a few things in that interview.
Interesting. It wasn't just that that's a fun and interesting
that he says that his dad regretted writing the book.
Well, he also died of a massive heart attack. You know, what,
three weeks after the book came out?
No, no, he died. No. I think straight three. I think he lived
three more You're okay, he's in his 80s. Alright,
so they let him go. Okay, good.
But when he said that, and that just because Trump made such a
big deal about the MIAA Trump is talking about SpaceForce. And
now all of a sudden, there's this Whopper that somehow the
MIAA is in North Korea has something to do with, with, with
aliens, and I found it baffling. I couldn't really find anything
that was useful for the show. But how and you know, you know,
who was it? Who was there? You know, who was a big part of the
Korean War?
To Don? Oh, God, but what did he do? Yeah. She can't tell
anybody.
Oh, well, that's great. Well, maybe has some new aliens.
Well, I'm, I'm afraid that if I call him up and ask him about
this, it'd be the last question
I ask. Yeah, you bearish stay, Mum. Yeah.
But if anyone else has any ideas, I'm obviously very
interested. It is fun to see that with all this, this gobbly
gook and everyone yapping about space wars and the crazy
president with the space wars, et Cie and Space Force Space
rars Space Force,
Space Force.
See it CNN, CNN had a documentary in 2016 that I think
you will enjoy watching. It is also a weapon.
Threats of a potential world war three.
I think it's an inevitability over time,
unimaginable weapons. So you could kidnap and other sounds
essentially designed to bring America to its knees.
Our satellites are at risk. And our ground infrastructures that
we're asking
standby data building of Florida, what can the US
possibly do to prevent this catastrophe? This is a CubeSat.
To find out we go inside and underground. Access to the
places and the people preparing for war in space. The next
Battlefield SpaceForce
sports. So I guess in 2016, it was okay and not so kooky. They
made a whole documentary but it's pretty good actually. It's
like I said, you know, people knocking each other satellites
out of out of space, but just take into account, former NASA
astronaut
Don Petit
think we may have played this in the past,
I go to the moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we
don't have the technology to do that anymore. We used to but we
destroyed that technology. And it's a painful process to build
a back again, but going to Mars should be one of the next series
of steps that humans do the first step should be going back
to the moon for a number of technical reasons and
exploration reasons and then after that Mars may be high
orbit in Venus atmosphere may be going through Europa, there's
all kinds of targets to go to places of interest in our solar
system. The only limit to Huebert future is in our own
imaginations
I wish I had more information on what we destroyed that we can't
go back to the moon anymore
yeah, I wonder about that myself and mean there's too did not
ball side of it would say well we had some anti gravity stuff
that's all you do.
Gave us technology like the integrated circuit and fiber
optics and then we
move on and then we did an antigravity he's got to be in
there somehow Yes, yeah. The the one that is like anti gravity
always has to be in the story always got to be in there. And
the one that seems although if you really wanted to be freaky,
but you could say it was interdimensional travel and I
could just jump into a little wormhole and get past the Van
Allen belts and show up on the moon. But I'm thinking what
they're talking about is the Saturn five rocket. We have made
a Saturn five rocket for 25 years that thing and he just
looked at the compare rockets look at the page of compare the
size of rockets. The Saturn five rocket was the most amazing
rocket we ever built. The thing is twice the size of it's like
the it's like the Empire State Building of rockets is huge. And
it's pretty much a Verner von brown rocket. Yes. And it's just
a massive you know rocket and it they don't even know if they can
make one anymore. See only made about
10 of them once up now they made 1513 flew I'm looking at the
book of knowledge. When was the last time it flew
though. Hmm,
I think it was in the 70s So I don't think the thing is, that's
all these a lot of these crazy technologies that appeared
magically in the 70s, Boeing 747, which I guess was in the
60s, and a lot of stuff was invented in the 50s. There's a
lot of crazy stuff that Yeah.
I don't think we're in. I don't know. Well,
now, of course, we don't know. But we do know that that crazy
thing, the crazy X 37 B space plane is still circling around
that one that went up kind of silently. The third mission.
This is the thing that looks like like a miniature space
shuttle. You remember that? That thing? They say unmanned and it
says like the size of a SUV. That thing went back up in 2017
is still doing some circling around. Not quite sure what it's
doing. But the the interesting news to me was that Buzz Aldrin
has fired fire filed a massive lawsuit against his family for
elder
exploitation. So they've apparently take and he
has, he has money and he has lots of foundations and all
kinds of stuff and they are taking his money. They've cut
him off completely. They're near they said, Well, you can't think
for yourself. So keep your eye on buzz. Um, he's always isn't
he's the guy that beats people up when you say you never landed
on the moon. He's
punched a few guys out. Yeah. Hey, man, you never landed on
the moon. It's bullcrap. Boom,
exactly. Oh, my good. Well, I'm keeping my eye on buzz. You know
when he
likes to kind of fly off the cuff and so this is this is
playing out now. Elder elder exploration exploitation.
The white like a white. tough cookie. tough cookie. Yes.
Here we got a red hen in Napa redhead restaurants. So let's
play this little clip here. It says the problems they're having
because the name of the restaurant is Red Handed Chris
where this through Sarah Sanders out.
A restaurant in Napa is getting some unwanted attention because
it has the same name as a restaurant in Virginia that
refuse to serve White House press secretary Sarah Sanders
as KTVU is Rob Roth reports the owner of the Napa restaurant
says his business now has taken a hit.
The red head Bar and Grill has been a fixture in North Napa for
the past 35 years. But the owner says it now appears to be a
victim of mistaken identity. I was stunned. Many angry people
appear to be confusing this red hand at cantina with another red
hand the one in Virginia. That's the restaurant that refused to
serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders
last Friday because of the administration's policy to
separate immigrant families.
All right, just thought the restaurant owners were extremely
rude. And I can hardly believe they did that. For political
reasons. They're not letting someone dine in their
restaurant.
But within hours the Napa restaurant started getting hate
messages clearly meant for the other red hand the general
manager Redis a sample I Crager
restaurant goes into the toilet. We're sick of scum like you
don't mess with President Trump supporters idiots.
It wasn't us. My employees. You know there. Were getting
stressed out because of all the phone calls.
The owner says business dropped by about a third this past
weekend. More than 400 Negative Yelp reviews came in. They go
from
four or five stars down to one star. Yelp says it will remove
reviews that aren't based on consumer experiences. This
stepfather and daughter heard about what happened and came in
for lunch to show support.
I'm not gonna say that the incident itself with kicking
Sara out of a restaurant because of their political ideas was
necessarily justified but the reaction and how people have
been responding to it is not okay.
Now there's the new meme is MCE instead of Magha MCE
make America civil again.
The public at large is so dumb. I mean, I asked both sides to
that they would think that this restaurants the same as the
other restaurant. Just like what are you going to do? Yeah, no
agenda listeners wouldn't be making these calls are going on
Yelp. I have one last clip I want to play. Now, before the
Supreme Court shut down, they did have this one union they
busted the unions by saying that Can you can you explain this? I
want to explain I want to talk about because it's never been
fully analyzed. I can tell why, why it happened. And and I've
never heard the explanation why you
roll it out how you want but I think this is very valuable
because almost no one certainly no one who's in a union
understands what's going on.
Well, I can explain some of it. But let's play the clip first
and I can talk about a union dues Cal and I have a Cal alumni
star which matches it put us
supreme Court delivered a huge setback to organized labor.
Today in a five to four vote, the court ruled that government
workers who choose not to join unions should not be forced to
pay dues. The court said that forcing employees to pay for
collective bargaining was a violation of the non paying
workers free speech rights. The decision means unions could lose
10s of millions of dollars and also lose considerable
bargaining power. The plaintiff in this case said he was
thrilled by the ruling.
The important thing is that we've now got 5 million public
sector workers across the country that can now are free to
make their own decision. And that's what this whole fight has
been about. That's March
Aniston, Illinois state worker who refused to pay dues and then
sued his union, arguing he shouldn't be forced to pay fees
because he disagreed with the union's positions.
That was the key right there. And when people didn't need to,
no one wants to say this. But if you're a Republican, and you're
a member of AFS, me or SEIU or any of these public service,
public sector, unions, they they give money to the Democrat
party. That's what this was about. Right? In fact, giving
you do so you can give the money to Obama. In fact, I
think the many of the bigger unions claim some credit for
getting Obama and office.
Yeah. And so if you have the option of not joining the union,
because I you know, there's you're stealing my money to put
some to give to the Democrat Party, you're not using it for
union purposes. At the best unions I've ever been a member
of the only use of money for union purposes, they had set up
an officer, they did work for the employees, they didn't just
get a big pile of money and then give it to the Democrats for
political reasons. And it which brings me to my Cal alumni
story. I feel the same way about universities. If you're an
alumnus of any of the big universities, they call the
Ebola time asking for money. You know, because they these
endowment, they want to just stockpiling the money or putting
it in a slush fund like Janet Napolitano headed to university
Oh,
man, they're funding gender studies from your cash John,
but but they're doing that too. But here's the thing that I
noticed is that they would call I would get called twice to
three times a year consistently. And then I saw on one of their
reports or what there wasn't a report is open public is one of
the one of the websites that shows who's donating who to WHO,
WHAT TO who, and University California donated $1 million to
the Obama campaign in 2016 whenever it was 2020 2020 12 So
the million dollars to the Obama campaign. And so they call me up
asking for money and I said, Why do you want my money for all
you're gonna do is give it to Obama campaign. I'm not I'm not
donating money to the to the university so you can give it to
a political party, for whatever reason, and you're not good like
to empty it out to all the parties, you're just going to
give it straight to Obama. I'm not going to give you any money
if you're gonna keep it I'm not gonna give you any money that's
what he said didn't say you're gonna keep doing that or
anything. And this is all yes, we understand. And they hung up
and I've never been called again 2012 Never call me again. So
obviously what I said
you've got you got a verified checkmark is what you got. You
gotta check mark
and said don't bother calling him get into we can still give
our money to Obama, but he'll bitch about if you do. So don't
call him Yes. No, you can't do that. If you It's my money. I
would if I wanted to give it to Jill Stein or somebody is my
business. I don't have any. If I want to give it to Obama, give
it to Obama. I don't want them to ask for money for the so they
can run the university and then just give the money to Obama.
It's ridiculous.
That's kind of the same. Like I used I've supported the ACLU for
Tao man decades. I always liked a bunch of lawyers trying to do
good stuff. And I was so happy I stopped that support. When I saw
the signs. ACLU stopped the Muslim ban. These were
professional ACLU scientists and lawyers who know that this is
not a Muslim ban. says like, I'm not gonna give my money to that.
Liars. Anyway, not not the same as a union. I'm still sag AFTRA,
are you sag AFTRA? No? Yeah, I have some they sent me like my
retirement papers. I think I have $11.37 from my retirement.
Yeah, you don't have enough there. Do you? Are you getting
the DVD getting movies and stuff you didn't
move? No, no, no, no, no. I'm pretty glad
to be a member one of the better operations of motion picture Gil
or something. One of these guys are Directors Guild direct.
Producers Guild, they get movies.
I could do that.
But you know, they're probably all gonna look me up and go guys
a podcast. Don't send him any shit now. It's just a scam. It's
like, it's like a Yelp review or you think they
actually check I think they just send them out there. They're too
lazy to change nowadays.
Anyway, that is our show for today everybody. And a healthy
tip from Adam and John Roe v Wade will not be overturned,

That was a very interesting comment. I thought that the idea
of giving these children tortillas with peanut butter and
some of them were out of the fridge they still had ice on
them. It's just despicable to this woman and it's just the
whole idea. Meanwhile, she I don't know if she has kids but
she's probably feeding a mac and cheese. If they see
any weakness. They will come by the millions. They will come by
the minion because they sent any weakness.
