That jingle apparently triggers dogs worldwide whenever we play
it. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak is Thursday, August 2 2018. This
is your award winning get my nation media assassination
episode 1056. This
is no agenda. Full
steam ahead with cue vision and broadcasting live from the
Capitol, the drone Star state here in downtown Boston Tea
House in the studio in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where I've got the recorder
back. Good news for everybody. I'm John C. Dvorak. Raglan
Buzzkill.
Yes, children around the globe are rejoicing. Oh, it's back.
Thank goodness. What do you have it repaired finally. So now it
sounds great.
I took it to the recorder repair company. They're all over the
place. Yeah, of course. And I'm taking a look at it. So here it
is.
Perfect. Yes. Yes. I'm glad it's in. good working order. Before
we get into anything a big thank you coming to us from Andromeda
in Norway. Thank you, Adam. And John, the rain has finally come
to Norway. And it has been marvelous. Good. It rained cats
and dogs on the coast on the southeast, it wasn't enough to
remove the danger of fires but enough to freshen up the
landscape and people's minds. Most importantly, your rainstick
performance has pushed the high pressure mask that's been stuck
over Norway since the spring. So the low pressure mask could
finally move in with all the good moisture from the ocean. So
we're getting back to normal mediocre weather with Max temps
25, semi cloudy and I never thought I'd be glad for that.
There are even some power plants back in production. So hopefully
the electricity bill won't kill us too much. Forest fires are
still going on due to thunderstorms in the dry
vegetation being lit by lightning in the south. But
since the sun is not grilling 24/7 and the fall was almost
here. I assume we can call the weather crisis over once again,
the power of the sticks proven on the no agenda show.
We were just a public service company.
There is one other thing that's helped, I believe, one of the
engineers who works at HAARP. We haven't talked about HAARP in
years, the high shutdown. No, no, that's not true. That's on
and off all the time. Okay, well, the engineer who works at
harp, one of the harp stations just said everybody, as of
August 2 00 48 UTC time harp is off until the fall campaign.
Thanks for tuning in tweeting, reporting and all that fun stuff
for science. If you think there might be a coincidence between
the heat we've been seeing and the harp being on
my understanding was they shut it down years ago. No, that's
just one they shut down one station. The whole heart system
is still functioning.
But watch. The whole thing is about as an experiment. I
mean, if if no, if Norway, all of a sudden, things changed. The
low pressure or the height wasn't high pressure changed, it
means there could be all kinds of atmospheric things that do
that, including HAARP. A big radio transmitter beaming into
the ionosphere, what could possibly go wrong? Seems like a
fine idea to me. Yeah, it would. But let's start with a local
story.
What's the local story? Yes, you're actually going to change
the name of Austin to shithole?
That's right. shithole, Texas. No, no, the ghost gun is back
everybody.
It was several I get plenty of ghost gun stories too. Well,
I have a little array set up here. First, let's listen to how
the ghost guns story, which is a very non story in my opinion,
but we'll get to that.
It's a total scam story. This this this nonsense.
And it's being used, of course, to discredit Trump
starting from this is Chuck Schumer borrow as you know,
you'll just need a little money and download a blueprint to make
a gun at home undetectable by metal detectors. Already the
damage has been done. According to The New York Post. Already,
more than 1000 people have downloaded plans to make AR
style 3d printed guns and the ban hasn't been lifted yet. The
idea of these print on command ghost guns is every bit as scary
as it sounds love
that print on demand ghost guns well done, Chucky.
We should be doing everything in our power to make sure it
doesn't happen. on issue after issue. The Trump
administration's mo when there's a crisis is to say we'll look
into it working with the NRA and then nothing happens. shooters
were here today. Nothing is going to happen from this
administration. We're going to have to pass legislation, laws
that are just enslaved by the NRA and slave by the NRA says
jump. They say how hot oh, yes. And the fact that the President
said that first time this comes about, he learned it, he tweets
about it. He says, I'm going to consult with the NRA that shakes
every American's confidence that he really wants to do something.
Oh, is your how's your confidence feeling?
Shake is one thing about Schumer and this con comment, which was
also used in the reports on NBC and CBS Schumer's jumping in is
that smart money comes out and discusses the NRA doesn't want a
bunch of people printing their own guns. They represent the gun
lobby. People who sell guns,
yes. Well, let's just make a statement right up front. It is
not illegal to publish anything of this sort. So you can go to
the library and you can go get a book on how to build a bomb
isn't you know how to assemble a gun at home. That's it. That's a
first amendment issue. You cannot restrict words. It's
dangerous to restrict because code is just words. It's just a
bunch of characters. It's unrestricted will, thanks to the
First Amendment. In my opinion, I'm not the only one. But let's
get a little background from NPR, who in fact, have a nice
little kicker at the end of this. It's
all started back in 2013. When Wilson made his first 3d printed
gun, it was a single shot pistol, mostly plastic with a
few metal parts purchased at a hardware store. He called it the
liberator. Then he put the plans on the internet. Soon, the State
Department told him he needed permission from the government
to post those files because of international arms export rules.
So he took the files down and then sued the government. Part
of
the issue in this case, is the question of whether computer
file can be speech that's protected under the First
Amendment kit.
Walsh is an attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
a nonprofit focused on civil liberties online. Whilst argues
computer code is no different than a recipe
traditionally, under the First Amendment, we don't keep people
from talking about things just because they might be used in an
illegal way. The case wound
its way through the courts, gun control groups weighed in,
we have laws to keep guns out of the wrong hands, and to require
background checks when you buy guns. At gun stores,
Jonathan Louis is with the Brady Center to prevent gun violence
that can
be completely undercut. If somebody can simply buy a 3d
printer and crank out an AK 47 or AR 15 in their basement.
After
three years of legal wrangling, something unexpected happened,
the government agreed to a deal with Defense Distributed and
would allow Cody Wilson to publish the gun designs online.
And now he's done just that. Do you understand why this all
makes people uncomfortable?
I do I do. But sometimes it's uncomfortable to be responsible
or moving to a new age of technological possibility. I
suppose then people's feelings are kind of beside the point.
Keep in mind, it's always been legal to make your own guns at
home. All you need is the right equipment and skills. What
wasn't doing is nothing new. He's just brought it into the
21st century. It's not illegal
to do that either. But this is just being hyped up for
political means. Where it's weak, incredibly weak. You want
to hear Judge Napolitano
he's I mean if it's always about the First Amendment and all that
I don't I just think we should make it clear that these guns a
they don't work. They're only pieces of the gun. You still
have to buy barrels, and there's not going to be a plastic
barrel. Yeah, I
think actually the barrel is plastic, but it doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Yeah, but this but these guns are junk. If you've made when
you're lucky. You're lucky if it doesn't blow up in your hand.
Yes. Dangerous product. Yes.
But even if, even if it works perfectly, it doesn't make any
difference.
No, I agree with that. In some day, it probably will work
perfectly and it's your right. But you could always make guns
at home if you have the equipment. So what difference
does it make what's new?
There's nothing new that the only thing that's new is that
the plans so you don't have to have you don't have to have any
skill to build it at home. Now you just need a printer. You can
build it at home and building it homes not illegal, damn need
enough skill to get to put the code in the printer. I mean,
it's not like you don't have that doesn't download all of a
sudden the little pieces start
popping out. But even then it just doesn't matter. It just
doesn't matter. The whole thing is a specious argument for
political means. And it wouldn't even have hit the radar
probably. If it were aren't for everyone being on the lookout
for something to grab Trump with and then Schumer comes out. I
mean, we didn't finish that part of the clip, but he said, Yeah,
Trump wants illegals you know people come into the country
legally if they slip in and they can get a gun
shot on him ya know an illegal can come in and then take his
well he's coming across the border with his $10,000 printer
that can make these things I mean, you little bitty desktop
ones not gonna do it. The illegal brings his printer
prints a gun. I mean, come on this whole thing you're right is
specious is bullcrap. Their arguments are counter intuitive.
The NRA wouldn't doesn't like these things, as Schumer has on
the wrong side is Schumer is on the wrong side of that argument,
too. I mean, everything about this is smacks of some public
relations operation to me.
Interesting. Well, I don't
know everybody played this. They had it on Good Morning America.
They had it on. NBC had a whole special on it with Lester Holt.
And right but what was
the conclusion Trump in every single one of them conclusion
was Trump.
Well, they didn't conclude it was Trump. They had Trump as as
partial DeVos you'd listen to here's the NBC report, I don't
think is too long. And you can hear the Trump blame is in the
middle with the good Schumer's sub clip
that's thrown out of a late development of the race to stop
what some fear was the next gun threat, plastic weapons 3d
knockoffs, lethal, homemade and hard to detect.
And by the way, we could pull up every single one of these ghost
gun reports from several years ago. It's exactly the same. It's
not like this new information.
The technology is accessible and so are the guns and tonight a
federal judge has just blocked the release of blueprints for
the guns after several states took legal action to stop their
release. NPCs Tom Costello has late details.
They almost look like plastic toys. But experts insist a so
called ghost guns can be very lethal. Nine state attorneys
general and Senate Democrats have tried to block this man
Cody Wilson from posting free 3d printer instructions online.
Late today a federal judge agreed to an injunction. Make no
mistake about it. This is the doing of the Trump
administration. This is part of a long pattern of letting the
gun lobby get whatever they want.
Yeah, Trump. That's what it's been used for guns, our back to
guns, what's in rapport to?
Well, then it gets worse now they start bringing the experts
in including a dad of one of the Parkland.
This morning President Trump tweeted I am looking into 3d
plastic guns being sold to the public already spoke to the NRA
doesn't seem to make much sense. But it was the Trump
administration that agreed Cody Wilson could post the
instructions as long
as you have the right to keep and bear arms you have the right
to make them after the Obama administration
has sued to block him. This changes the safety of Americans
forever if
this is allowed to happen.
Fred Guttenberg is 14 year old daughter Jamie was one of 17
people killed in Parkland, Florida in February. plastic
guns he fears will mean even more senseless killings.
And now every American on the homeland is at rest. Terrorists
that want to help produce guns now on this land, they can't.
But Cody
Wilson and gun enthusiast claim they have First and Second
Amendment protections.
No gun control is not dead. It's gone dead gun control is on dead
and various 3d instructions are online anyway. Meanwhile, the
TSA has already confiscated for 3d guns at airports since 2016.
I mean, it's a killers dream. It's
a Hitman's dream. It's a terrorist dream. A hijackers
dream. Somebody who wants to hurt you can make their own gun.
Well, this is interesting.
You just have by the way I have the dream come true. I saw
because I think it was that good. That guy at the end?
Have a listen. It's a terrorist dream. A hijackers dream.
Somebody who wants to hurt you can make their own gun.
That's pretty good. contender. What contender? We'll see how
the show goes. For sure. But so you triggered something by
saying some kind of PR operation. Wow, I happen to have
a clip that could be that very thing.
This brand new 3d CT scanner at the American Airlines terminal
at New York's JFK airport can see through just about anything
and a carry on bag to spot a potential threat. Here's what a
TSA screeners sees now from the current generation X ray
machines, look closely, can you spot the knife?
And that's why TSA asked you to remove your laptop for this
reason, but using your finger just manipulate it around. And
there it is. Wow.
Oh, wow. Have you from the new Datalogic scanner going into
JFK? The manufacturer gave us a first look last year. They work
like a CT machine in a hospital seeing through even a cluttered
bag and give screeners the ability to zoom in and rotate
the bag for 300 a 60 degree view, American Airlines donated
eight of the roughly $300,000 scanners to TSA including the
one at JFK.
We think in perhaps five years or so, the passengers won't have
to take anything out of the carry on bags.
TSA Administrator David Makovsky calls the technology
revolutionary,
what they're capable of doing is detecting a wider range of
explosives, which is very important. And then a much lower
weight of explosives. They're just much better at detection.
So you really get you get better security, faster. Essentially,
the TSA plans to have 15 deployed to these airports by
the end of the year and are authorized to buy up to 240. In
2019, they'll need about 2000 to cover every airport checkpoint
in the country, she's free, because American Airlines head
of security, just getting to that point
that in a non precheck lane, you're able to keep your
liquids, gels, aerosols, and laptops and electronics in your
bags. It's a new era, if you will, and we're really excited
about it.
The TSA has tested this technology at airports in
Phoenix and Boston and found it does speed up the lines because
there are fewer secondary bag searches. Congress is pushing
TSA to get this technology out there as fast as possible. But
realistically to replace every x ray machine at every airport in
the US is going to take years
now who would have access to knowledge that this trial has,
you know that there was a new judgment and the guy well, you
know, Cody Wilson here in Austin wanted to publish the plans, he
was going to publish it and it held back and I could do it
again. The inside guys, DHS guys, former DHS guys who are
selling these scanners. I think that's your PR push. We don't
know for sure yet. But that have to do with this week
is good. It makes sense. They're looking for money. It's a
coincidence.
That yeah, I don't know where that is. We haven't used that in
a long time. But yes, it's Miss beyond a coincidence that
they're looking for more money in Congress as we speak. So
besides a handy little thing to throw a Trump, you know,
colluding with the NRA, whatever, whatever it is today.
Maybe that's, you know, these things will clearly see a gun, a
printed gun as well. It's not going to Yeah, oh, yeah. Metal
Detectors may not detect the amount of metal that's in the
gun. But
before you continue, I was listening to some reports that I
didn't clip that were on the radio, and they were talking
about how metal detectors can't detect these guns, but some but
other devices can and the TSA is. It's possible that yeah, it
may just be about the scanner. Because that's expensive, guys.
$300,000. Yeah. And they want to need 2000 of
them. Yeah. Geez, quick back of the envelope. That's several 100
million dollars, as far as I can tell, sounds like a bonanza to
me. Yeah. So perfect. Perfect. That would make sense. So we'll
just keep our eye on it. See if we're right, let's
just scare the public unnecessarily. So we can push
some crap through first or or security theater can be
improved. And somebody can make a pot load of money. Yeah. On
the taxpayers back. Okay.
You know, I picked a good week to dive into the rabbit hole.
You know, what, rabbit hole? Two of them actually. But the first
one was Q and Q clip, I noticed that I have some things to say
about it. Let's play your let me
play this clip. And then you can go off the deep end. Now this
clip, I just randomly picked it because it was I was looking at
it. What who cares? Dom because there is a group of 17 Democrats
but apparently there's more to it than that. He has
his people at his rally that look for
the number 17 is signs of truth. Q is the 17th letter in the
alphabet, not that that helps make any sense to them. And they
see Trump tweeting something like this 17 Angry Democrats,
they take value and then number 17 A potential sign I hope he
didn't use that number. For them. He doesn't always used the
number 17
Yeah, so what happened is, by the way, that was CNN and
they're fine reporting. Yeah.
So here's what happened and I saw this when Trump did his most
recent rally for Ron DeSantis right there covering the pool
video shot was assigned Q anon. Rip Seth Rich and it was in
onscreen like for minutes at a time and people walking around
with cue signs people at the side of the road and everybody
jumped on it every mainstream outlet jumped on this and with
some with interesting takes, but what I thought was and I was
going to do a wrap up that's what I was planning. I started
looking Sunday because a cup yeah, I've never I'm always had
Happy to revisit something that I've said screw that I don't
think is anything and I have been very skeptical about the
whole cube business. So I decided to go in again and keep
reading and I watched more, you know, deconstruction videos on
YouTube and I just went on on but the Report on PBS on the
News Hour from whoever this guy is this reporter, I would say
sums it up perfectly.
For more on this conspiracy theory and how it's spread. I'm
joined by the news hours. PJ Tobia who has been following
this PJ first of all, what is q anon?
So this all started last fall on 4chan, which is an anonymous
online message board. And last fall, a user calling himself Q
anon began posting little nuggets of information. Q is
actually a reference to the Q clearance. It's one of the
highest security clearances in the US government. Q claims to
be highly placed in the government and has visibility
into a kind of conspiracy of globalists, permanent criminal
government that's been running the US government for decades.
This of course, includes the Clintons, the Obamas, the
financier George Soros and many, many others. The conspiracy goes
on to posit that President Trump will team up as the US military
and crushed this country and crushed this cabal by throwing
them all in jail starting with Hillary Clinton.
Do they have any evidence that this is going on that the Obamas
The Clintons are, are trying to overthrow President Trump?
So what they're claiming as evidence or accused posts on
4chan, and then it migrated to another board called HN. And
these are these cryptic little he calls them breadcrumbs,
because that's really what they are. And they're their little
clues. Watch for this look for that. And people take them and
unpack these breadcrumbs and read into it kind of what they
will. And things like President Trump's tweets where it's well
known that he misspells things occasionally or maybe uses
improper grammar. He says those are actually clues part of the
of the president actions that the President is about to take
to crush this Cabal.
So who's on board with this? Who are the people who have who are
following this when there were people at this rally last night
in Tampa that were wearing T shirts or holding signs and Q
anon Who are these folks any we have any er How many of them
when it
comes to conspiracy theories, or a lot of fringe groups on the
right or the left? It's really hard to quantify and get numbers
but YouTube pages where where Q anon breadcrumbs are unpacked
and discussed have hundreds of 1000s of hits. Twitter accounts
dedicated to this have 10s of 1000s of hits. So there's a lot
of folks who are engaging in this content online. Now some
folks who some people who are experts who watch conspiracy
theories and conspiracy groups say it's probably not nearly the
number of people who say believe that the moon landing was fake
or that they're a conspiracy about the JFK assassination. But
still some prominent celebrity Trump supporters, like former
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, and Roseanne Barr
have tweeted and said things positively. About About the Q
anon conspiracy.
So PJ, where does this go from here to authorities watch this
kind of thing. There's nothing illegal about it is there?
No, there's nothing illegal about it at all. I mean, they're
just talking on social media. But as these people start
appearing in the real world, I think we're all going to be
watching them much closer look, the bottom line about this
conspiracy theory is that it's a conspiracy to protect Trump. So
things that to the rest of us might seem like bad news for
Trump, like the Muller investigation. They look at as
actually part of Trump's grand strategy. You see, he was
colluding with Russia. He wanted to make it look like he was
colluding with Russia on purpose so that Robert Muller would be
hired. And he could team up with Trump, Muller and Trump teaming
up together to investigate the Clintons and the rest of the
deep state and their global pedophile sex ring.
So that is, that takes a lot of thinking to get
a lot of talking. They spill a lot of digital ink online about
this stuff.
Now if I had to do a summary of queue to date, I could not have
done a better job. I think you really got everything in there
right down to the pedophiles who eat children in the Clinton
Cabal. Now,
I like Judy's taken the whole thing, because I think it takes
a lot of thinking or takes a
lot of thinking. But when you listen to this, actually, I
found that handy. I had Jay put your box under your chaise
lounge there if you can grab them is I put your cue vision
glasses in there.
Yeah, well, here they are here. I'm putting them on now.
Okay, hold on. Let me put mine on for a second. helps a little
bit. There we go. Cue vision. So now, when you take a look at
things, you see them through cue vision, different eyes, and
let's just take a look at a couple of scenarios. The first
one is Jeff Sessions.
Hold on a second why? Zephyrs painted
blue No. Doesn't say obey on the side.
No, thank goodness.
So I'm just pulling up a few things that I've learned that
people in the queue movement are obsessed about. And if you look
at it through the cue vision glasses, which we're wearing
right now, you may be able to see this in a different light.
So why has Trump not replaced Jeff Sessions? Ever since the
guy recused himself, which was righted right when he was in
there, but I mean, I'm Attorney General, I have recused myself
from the Russia investigation with the Q vision glasses. Now
we can see the reason that he has done that, and the reason
why Trump continuously harps on him and to a degree that we had
said, we have Saturday Night Live skits about it, about
sessions The Nut Job Trump hates him, it's all horrible to Trump.
When he doesn't like somebody the guy's not performing. He's
gone. Rex Tillerson, I don't like what you're doing. You're
talking shit about me. You're gone. Fires everybody very
quickly in and out. If you no good, you're gone. Why is he
continuing to have this, this feud with Jeff Sessions, because
when the swamp is going to be drained and all the indictments
come and they arrest 100 People in the middle of the night all
in one go, then they at least can cannot say Trump ordered
that to happen. So that's one. What's happening right now with
this Manafort case, is through the queue vision glasses, we can
see this is not about Trump. This is not about collusion. Of
course, with the glasses, we see that Robert Muller, who in the
eyes of the cuse was complicit in 911, and many other crimes
after that many other global crimes. He was so involved in
this criminal Cabal, specifically with the FBI, that
they had to give him an extra two years, even though 10 years
is the term that was set in place. So you never could have a
situation with the FBI that we saw when I was first when I was
first founded, where it was a big blackmailing operation. So
10 years is the term but there was so much to clean up that
they had to extend it two years into Obama's term. You'll recall
that that was a that was a scandalous really what they
didn't how they did that, borderline unconstitutional,
illegal. But Muller now wants to repent for his sins. Yes, he's
repeated a few vision. I see it clearly. He's repenting for his
sins, and He is going to help drain the swamp. This is one of
the promises Trump made. So what do we see in the New York Times
today? Mueller's digging exposes culture of foreign lobbying and
its big paydays. So this is not at all about the Russian
collusion. In fact, Manafort only see, I have some clips to
back this up. Let me just give you a background or AP report.
On the first day of the Manafort trial,
we had a day of testimony about Paul Manafort, his lavish
lifestyle, and a good bit of back and forth between the
prosecution and the judge about how relevant that is to the case
and to the jury, and how much the jury should be able to hear
about Manna forts lifestyle, which includes very fancy homes,
very fancy cars, rugs, nearly a million dollars in expensive
high end suit. So this is the guy who lived lavishly, his
defense lawyers stipulated yesterday that Paul Manafort
travels in circles that most of us will never understand. That's
not a crime. That's not a crime. So even though we heard
testimony about that, you can tell the judge has tried to
limit the amount of information and evidence about the specifics
of his light to the jury. Testimony is going to continue
tomorrow morning. We expect tomorrow to get to bookkeepers
and accountants. One thing that's important to note about
that is that Paul Manafort defense has been the Manafort
this busy international political consultant, he himself
didn't have time to deal with the specifics and minutiae of
his finances. So he left it to others. We're going to see
whether that's really true and whether that's supported by the
government's evidence. And I play
this AP clips specifically because what you hear is they
have no outrage, there's nothing the guy is not cooperating.
There's nothing. All he's saying is, Hey, someone else did my
taxes. I messed it up. But it gets even crazier, because this
huge trial that everybody is talking about, wasn't initially,
the guy was not prosecuted eight years ago for the very same
crimes but through que vision we see something very interesting.
One of their arguments is this. Paul Manafort was investigated
by the federal government, by a team of federal prosecutors and
FBI agents for all this stuff eight years ago, and they
exonerated him, and who was the young prosecutor that led that
exoneration, Rod Rosenstein, who now runs the Justice Department
and they have threatened to call Deputy Attorney General
Rosenstein as their first witness and have him give to the
jury all the reasons why he declined the prosecution of
these charges eight years ago.
Do you think they have gotten anything from has Muller's team
gotten what they wanted or needed or
hope to find? For anything at all?
Absolutely not, in fact, on the steps of the courthouse this
morning, after a jury selection this afternoon, actually, and
before these opening statements, the Manafort slur turned to the
press and said, All deals are off, we will not set will not
settle anything, we won't give them anything. We're rolling
dice with the jury.
Now through our current vision, we now understand that this is a
setup. And Muller has indeed referred Tony Podesta, the
Podesta group, which is now defunct, and other lobbyists to
the Southern District of New York. And this through que
vision is the draining of the swamp. The first step is blowing
everything wide open and showing all of this money in Washington,
DC, all of the lobbying and there's 1000s of unregistered
lobbyists, people lobbying who did not register as a lobbyist
will be more correct. 1000s of them, their foreign agents,
they've got all kinds of money. They're doing hookers and blow
and restaurants and meat, whatever it is. And this trial
would be the beginning of the draining of the swamp cube
losses off.
And I will come back with more of these cue vision segments.
That was it. You're done. Well, I was going to pause here to
hear what you had to say.
Oh, well, I think we can play my Manafort clip and see if it fits
into anything. Okay, mine's a wrap.
Though. Paul Manafort was the Trump campaign chairman for
three months. This trial is not about that. For nearly a decade
Robert Mueller's prosecutors told the jury today, Manafort
made millions representing Russia's neighbor Ukraine and
its President Viktor Yanukovych, a Putin ally, but stashed at
least 15 million of it in overseas banks to avoid paying
taxes. Prosecutors say he also lied to banks to get nearly 25
million in loans on his houses. But Manna forts lawyer told the
jury that the man who hid the money from the IRS was Manafort
former business partner Rick Gates, who has pleaded guilty
and will testify. The defenses Gates was embezzling money from
the lobbying firm, Manafort has defended his overseas lobbying
as promoting democracy.
Well, the work I was doing in Ukraine was to help you crank it
into Europe and we succeeded. President Trump's
name wasn't even mentioned in court today. And he has
distanced himself from Manafort in recent months.
He worked for me watch for 49 days or something, a very short
period of time.
Today, he again attacked Robert Mueller tweeting collusion is
not a crime, but that doesn't matter because there was no
collusion. Paul Manafort is 69. If convicted, he could get up to
10 years in prison.
Yeah, interesting. The I think this report is a little
outdated, because the Rick gates thing has an update to it. I
think it's in this clip,
I just have an unwritten rule not to interrupt opening and
closing statements unless something so wrong is being said
that it's going to infect the trial. But this judge is not a
keen on the government's case. This is the federal judge who
basically said to the prosecutors in the courtroom,
Bob Muller has sent you here to squeeze this guy points of Paul
Manafort to get information out of him that will help indict
charge, embarrass or impeach the president United States, and I
don't want to be part of it. And then they persuaded them that it
was a legitimate case. And that's where the case is, is
going forward. So there's two arguments here. One is the
judges, right? The only reason they are prosecuting Paul
Manafort is because they want him to trials. Two months in
solitary confinement, they're imposing about the most legal
pressure they can possibly put an innocent person. They want
them to squeal on something. They don't know what Donald
Trump
wasn't in there. But apparently, Rick gates is not flipping is
not saying anything at all. So yeah, do you have your glasses
still on? I didn't hear you take them off.
Yeah, I've been noticing that the funny thing about these
glasses is that if you look out in the yard, you can see where
weeds are developing, as opposed to the normal plants are hungry,
interesting.
We want you to take them off. You shouldn't have better. So
just looking at the Q phenomenon, which I don't want
to ignore, because we kind of did that with GamerGate. It was
too complicated. And Q anon has similar characteristics. You
know, you go to eight chance you look at these posts and like, my
brain hurts, but, but there's, there's enough Compendia that
you can look up and you can read through it and a little more
organized fashion. What we either have is a large group
very large, I think it's millions of people who will be
extremely disappointed. And that could have very bad
consequences, very dire consequences, or they will be
delighted with each step of the way as the swamp begins to
drain. What Q really does, in my opinion is nothing, it really is
a kind of no agenda formula, deconstructing things that are
said in the mainstream, and some of it, you know, we come up with
as well. It's not like we don't agree that there's a bunch of
Yahoo, douchebags running stuff. You and I agree on that. And we
know who the groups are, and we know where they are. And is
there a deep state? Yeah, of course, is a deep state might
have something to do with 400 People still waiting to be
confirmed to get the jobs they're ready to do, which I
guess Congress is unable to do or won't do. And maybe there's
400 people who need to get out, I don't know. But the movement
is very real. And it's not to be ignored. And I will now have my
cue glasses handy. And I will bring updates as they come
through. There's really nothing else at this moment. And all
these you know, I would say 70% of the time is spent on proving
Q is real, which is a total waste of time. Who cares? Now,
the infant the deconstruction he does is reasonable or she or it
I don't even see that much deconstruction, I see a lot of
hinting. Oh, look at this, look for this, look for that. Yeah,
that's what
that's what, that's what most of it is. But there's some
deconstruction in there. I didn't bring specific examples,
but I looked through 1000s of posts and it's not to be
ignored. That's why we have our cue vision glasses to the we can
look at it with cue vision and then not have to worry about
being able to straddle that we can always take them off and
look at it from a different perspective.
Well, this you mentioned Deep State I want to do I don't want
to change the topic completely. But I do want to do a movie
recommendation. Okay. Because this is a movie you'll never
you've never heard of. You've never seen it came out last year
2017. It's highly regarded by the movie aficionados and
collectors and people in the know. It's french french movie.
No. So all in all English. It's got Steve Buscemi and Michael
Palin and Oh, really? And Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Tam bore you
think these guys alone? Would you get some attention? Yes.
Called the death of Stalin. Okay. And it's about the death
of Stalin, with Jeffrey Tambor playing melon cough and Buscemi
playing Khrushchev. And it's a comedy. That is, I would say 90%
heard about this. Yeah. 80% historically accurate. The way
that barrier was killed is questionable at the end. But it
is a fact I ended up going to the Wikipedia pages and looking
up all these guys and trying to piece it together, see what they
left out and what they put in. And it's very, if I was taking
Russian history, I'd want to see this movie for sure. But it is
the funniest one of the one of the funniest movies you'll ever
see in terms of its attack on. People go along with the program
people who are scared of everything. Media is a very no
agenda. It's a roadmap is what you're saying. It's a comedy,
bro. Yeah, it's kind of a roadmap and it's some of it's
kind of creepy, and it's most of it's pathetic, and it's very
funny in spots. It's extremely funny, and tambor probably takes
his his creepy character that he used to play when he was Hank on
the Kingsley. He takes that to a new level of measure. Oh, good.
Excellent. Oh, watch it. And wait, what is it on? Netflix?
I have a fair today I found a DVD of it.
Okay, the death of Stalin. I'm sure it's on the Amazon
somewhere.
It's got to be somewhere.
But to wrap up this segment, I did want to play one YouTube
clip because I watched so many. And although not, per se que
related. It is just a great conspiracy that I'd like us to
keep in the back of our minds. And it's about Hillary and her
illness on the campaign trail. And a new theory about have you
heard of this? Did you?
I've ever seen a million of these stairs as she's walking
around with a colostomy bag. But I don't know. No, probably not.
This is David toshin
Hello my name is Dave. And it is the morning of November 23 2016.
This is important. This is when que started. And this was when
we had all this information.
We've all been proven with their own documents that Hillary
Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Podesta, and the whole bunch of
these people, including some notable celebrities out in
Hollywood, are rented his spirit cooking, child molesting, and
even child sacrifice. To my knowledge, no bodies have been
recovered. No murder charges have been proffered. But it all
goes back to the thing that during the debates seems to have
been proven wrong, at least for that day, that Hillary Clinton
is suffering some kind of brain disease, some kind of an
syphilitic disease that's causing her to wig out and do
stupid shit with our head. Okay. And I don't know if you've seen
it, but there's photos where she's talking and she's got a
hole in her tongue. And I found out that there is a disease
called Kuru. Okay, you, are you it's a very rare disease that is
contracted by get this eating dead people. Cannibalism, spirit
cooking, cannibalism, sacrifices to the pagan god Molek of the
Old Testament in the Bible, as what these people do. So, if
you're involved in spirit cooking, and child rape and
child murder and eating dead bodies, My God is just, you
know, it's two days before Thanksgiving. I gotta, I gotta
take a break from this shit are those are gonna barf up my
Thanksgiving dinner?
There you go. Kuru.
Yeah, well, let's talk about coral for a second. Of course,
all this is accounted for by her cocking your head in that plane
wreck that nobody we stopped talking about. Everybody else
stopped talking about too. But she got into a plane wreck in
Iran. Yeah. And there was somewhat documented. Kuru is mad
cow disease is also scrappy. In his it's cuz it's your eat its
virus and it creates all kinds of problems in the brain. And it
is easily transmittable from eating brains not necessarily
flesh, all but that's the delicacy. So he brains and also
so it's just yeah, Kuru. It's, it's cannibals apparently have
this problem. Yeah, it's a good idea. It's fun. I don't think
that's a you know, she hasn't got Kuru. Okay. She's got a, you
know, the results of a head
trauma? Well, she did have actual head trauma. It's just it
was explained. People probably forgot that we talked about the
Iranian plane crash.
Yeah. It was we talked about it. But she
was it was her excuse that she slipped in her home. And
yes, she slipped and hid herself on.
Well, with that, let's transition to Russia. Because
the question remains, as always, is there any collusion, any
collusion, a collusion, any collusion?
Any collusion?
Is collusion? A crime is the question. So both Giuliani and
Trump we see they're making the argument that collusion isn't
illegal, that it's not in the Criminal Code. Tell us what, you
know, what's the fact here? And this is interesting. No. Yeah.
You know,
if you look at the very long Federal Criminal Code, which
contains over 4000 crimes, you won't find a crime called
collusion. But you will find crimes that punish people for
hacking into email, or computers or election fraud or violating
campaign financing laws. And then other laws punish people
for conspiracy, which means working with other people to
commit crimes. So at the end of the day, it's really just kind
of a rhetorical device to say that collusion isn't a crime.
Because Special Counsel Muller certainly understands that and
so what he's charged most frequently is conspiracy to
defraud the United States.
And I'd like that conspiracy to defraud the United States,
because you could easily pin that on on the Democratic
National Committee, and they defrauded their own voters in
the primary with Bernie Sanders. There's not even an argument
about that half of the top brass had to resign, including
Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. They may have done
other things forms of defrauding of the United States. Certainly,
the maybe if you want to take it to opposition research, which is
what Trump is being accused of getting the dirt on Hillary
asking Russia to hack her emails, none of it true. Of
course, if you look at the report itself, and you look at
what the DNC and Hillary and the Brits did with their mi five or
MI six mi five guy, Christopher Steele, that could also be said
that's trying to defraud Unix trying to defraud the United
States. Yeah,
I agree. Well, a lot of it now of course, it's the focus in the
news cycle in the news media is back on Facebook. Yes. I have a
cut hidden get the clip. I've clips. I have clips, but I have
a couple of clips, but I didn't get the clip. I didn't get the
meat clip. I was thinking about it. The clip. Oh, you don't have
the meat clip.
Let me look. No, I don't see the meat clip.
We'll go to YouTube. Go to YouTube and look up. Zuckerberg
meat or Zuckerberg brisket. Oh, I
saw this where he's cooking his brisket.
Yeah. And he's just like an idiot. He's just talking about
it for hours.
He's talking about his meat. Yeah, yeah, his meat. What does
that have to do with anything
else just saying yes, I think while he's doing that Facebook
is going down the tubes. So let's play the new Facebook
nonsense. One.
Less than 100 days until the midterms, Facebook sounding the
alarm after uncovering what appears to be new covert efforts
on its platform to influence us elections. And VCs Peter
Alexander with a new threat and what Facebook is doing about it.
Tonight Facebook says it's happening again. The social
media giant announcing gets removed 32 pages and accounts
from Facebook and Instagram and apparent political influence
campaign ahead of November's midterms, the bogus pages
stirring up divisive issues, one called resisters promoting a
counter protests against an upcoming white nationalist
rally. Even recruiting activists who Facebook says unwittingly
helped build interest in the event. That page also pushing
the left wing Campaign to Abolish ice the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Agency, part of a growing political
firestorm.
The Democrats want to abandon ice, they want to end dice.
Well, it doesn't sound like it's very pro Republicans. What
they're doing
well, they just didn't say this thing is because they can't
really get the goods. You know that Jim slanting one way or the
other what they're doing is they're just amplifying,
supposedly,
they're taking a position but taking they're taking your
position against ISIS,
though see they're taking both positions. Oh, they're so smart.
They're taking both positions that way did cause more division
more division by taking both sides.
I can I play the NPR background are on these 30 To
Play Part Two first, and then Democrats
want to abandon ice. They want to end dice. The pages
created between March of last year and this may picking up
290,000 followers. So who's responsible? Facebook says it
doesn't know. But on Capitol Hill lawmakers are again
pointing the finger at Russia one Republican power, more
sanctions that as everything but the kitchen sink in it. It'll be
the sanctions bill from hill the new revelations after Congress
recently grilled CEO Mark Zuckerberg over Facebook's
handling of Russian interference in 2016.
Unfortunately, the enforcement isn't isn't perfect. We do need
to make it more proactive. And I'm committed to doing I think
Facebook really wants to get it right so that it can restore
some of that trust among users and investors.
And today Facebook says it's been working with the FBI and
others the White House TELLS US President Trump is aware of this
latest disinformation campaign and that they applauded the
actions Facebook is taking Lester
Peter Alexander of the White House. Thanks.
What's our takeaway from that? Takeaways?
This is bullcrap. Yes,
listen to the NPR goes into detail. Like, like numbers and
stuff to eclipse. It just makes it that much funnier. So
what details did Facebook reveal today about these ongoing
efforts to disrupt US politics. So
it said it has disrupted a campaign that involves 32
accounts, Facebook and Instagram accounts created between March
2017 and May of this year. And this campaign included an effort
to organize counter protests for a planned white nationalist
rally that's happening in Washington DC in a couple of
weeks. Okay, counter protest against white guys. They use
this fake account to reach out to genuine American grassroots
Facebook pages to kind of help organize logistics and build
legitimacy and build interest in these counter protests.
And what sort of impact did this campaign have so it's kind of
mislead Getting right to think, only 32 accounts, My impact is
magnitudes larger. Oh,
so over the law now we hear the Facebook network effects 15
months or so they managed to attract a total of 290,000
followers. Wow. And the 9500 posts, they ran 150 advertise
the event organised 30 events. And although Facebook doesn't
track this in the real world, they couldn't vouch for whether
the events occurred, people definitely signed up for them.
Ha. So a little bit about who might be behind this, did
Facebook offer any information?
So they said they weren't able to definitively say what's
behind the influence campaign. And they just they didn't want
to be totally conclusive about it. But here's what they did say
they said, the campaign involves similar tools, techniques and
procedures that were used by the Russian Internet Research Agency
during the 2016 campaign to follow that same kind of flow.
And they also had another kind of tantalizing piece of
evidence. For seven minutes, a known Russian Internet Research
Agency account was made a co administrator of one of the fake
pages involved in this campaign. Oh, so
of course, we want to know more technical details have no fear.
Because the NPR cyber guy knows all
one thing that's really gotten challenging is that this round
of political interference has gotten more sophisticated. Is
Kremlin linked, the internet research agency or whoever was
behind this, they're leaving fewer clues. And it's becoming
harder for Facebook to track it down. In the past, the internet
research agency occasionally slipped up and they used a
Russian IP address, which gives us some clues for the origin of
the of the campaign. But there's no sign of that here. And these
actors, they used virtual private networks to mask their
identity and third parties to place their ads to kind of hide
what was going on behind the scenes. So
a virtual private network ever hear one of those, John, that's
a Russian thing. Hope you're using one damn Russian whiskey
is their methods get more sophisticated, Facebook will
have to get more sophisticated in finding out ways to track it
and to stop it. Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of
Facebook, even went so far as to say that this was a arms race
did they talk about what sophisticated methods they will
be using to try to stop future efforts like this, they
were kind of a little shy in saying exactly how they might
wrap around AI traverse because that would give bad actors a way
to kind of bypass whatever methods that they're trying to
use. But it does involve AI does involve pretty sophisticated
methods. Pretty sophisticated
AI sophisticated methods Shut up. We got it under control.
It's all good here. But everybody is freaking about
about the Russians hacking, even Fox his own nut job about it
their problem and exactly what what Bill was referring to. And
that is that we already have an indication that they were into
our utilities into our infrastructure. If they wanted
to, they could try and shut down the country. And that's what
that's why Dan Coates said that the system was blinking red
again, referring to 911 in the great catastrophe. The Russians
are toying with us they are sending us warning signals, and
Donald Trump simply must respond more forcefully than he has.
I love it all the mainstream media and even though they they
try to not include themselves, foxes mainstream media more than
others. They're all they're all on the Russia. Russia is gonna
kill us. Russia, Russia, Russia.
Let's get the CIA official. Oh, yes. So I was listening to good
morning. The one Nora owed me whatever name is Nora and Gail,
CBS. They have the CBS This is Russians Facebook with our buddy
coming on to give his two cents worth
Facebook says it's cracking down on a coordinated campaign
designed to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.
Facebook removed 32 pages and apparently fake accounts that
stoked emotions over divisive issues. More than 290,000
accounts followed at least one of the pages. Facebook says it
does not have firm evidence of who's behind the effort, but it
found similarities and connections to a Russian firm
accused of meddling in the 2016 election.
CBS News National Security contributor Michael morale is
with us from Washington. He was acting director and Deputy
Director of the CIA Mike Good morning. Good morning nor
Facebook has been reluctant to say it is the Russians but do
you feel confident they're behind this effort?
Nor I have no doubt that the Russians are behind the effort.
With no evidence without evidence Yes, well,
it's got no doubt. Let's go to the wait before you wait. You
guys do one follow up just so you see where this guy's coming
up to I do have the morale on Putin in the same thing. This by
the way. He went on for 10 minutes after she introduced him
so I only put that little clip in but within that clip, there
was his little little tidbit about his feelings or somebody's
feelings about Putin.
We have not deterred Vladimir Putin. What's absolutely clear
is that he continues to interfere in our democracy. And
he is doing it without without cost. I think we need to the
Senate needs to the President needs to significantly enhance
the sanctions and raise the pain on Putin so that he thinks twice
about what he's doing. It's also absolutely clear, Alex, that he
has lied to the president united states on multiple occasions.
And I think we need to, we need to understand that and make
policy based on that rather than what he says.
Okay, well, we need to revisit in mind, we need to revisit
that. There's a lot of people still in Washington who remember
the Cuban Missile scare and who do hate Russia and but they hate
the Soviet Union. And, and this is all big elites, Council on
Foreign Relations is pushing this and just go and look at
who's in CFR. It's all these journalists, the same people who
are telling you that is Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,
and they're horrible and they can bring us down they can shut
down the country. They're in our utilities everything. Ah, hasn't
happened. But ah, be very, very free happen.
It can happen any minute. They're toying with us.
Yes. Steve Cohen, Professor Cohen
was allowed on this. This clip? This is a good clip. Yeah, he
was allowed on CNN, with, with Anderson Cooper and the CFR
shill. What's the Yeah, Max boot. And I thought it was a
first of all, kudos for Professor Cohen, who I think
kept his cool even though he's beating.
I thought he was he was getting about to have a heart attack.
Well, for him, he was pissed off, but he did it in I know, I
thought he did it in a adult way. But he is basically being
accused of being a shill for Putin, who's is a professor who
studied Russia for what, 3540 years.
I have no idea what Mr. Buddha is talking about. He wants Trump
to threaten Russia. Why would we threaten Russia? You've got to
nucleus they're attacking us and
Max boot is almost in tears when he's saying this. You they're
attacking us. Leave Britney alone.
Russia is attacking us right now, according to Trump's own
national intelligence.
I've been studying Russia for 45 years. I've lived in Russia and
I've lived here and you've been for Russia. Five Russia, hasn't
it? Right? Excuse me? What did you say to me? I said, You've
been consistently an apologist for Russia in those last 45
years. Alright, I don't do defamation of people. I do
serious analysis of serious national security problems. When
people like you call people like me, and not only me, but people
more eminent me, apologist for Russia, because we don't agree
with your analysis. You are criminalizing diplomacy and the
time and you are the threat to American national security and
the story, why do you have to defame somebody you don't agree
with it? They used to do that in the old Soviet Union. We don't
do that here where we used to, but we need to stop it.
So just finally, seven years saying Russia was not attacking
the United States.
I know what you're talking about it and during the 2016 election,
Russia attacked the United States. Yes. I don't think they
attacked the United Okay. And you're just being an apologist
for Russia. you're apologizing for our elections we speak?
Well, you haven't let me finish. You don't know what I'm going to
say. Please, please. Nothing began Mr. Cooper. And the
meddling began right after the Russian Revolution. When Woodrow
Wilson sent American troops to fight in Russian Civil War and
flees. The meddling began on the Soviet and Russians. Let me
finish on the Mellon side when the Communist formed the
Communist International 9019. Ever since then, Moscow has
meddled in our politics. We have meddled in there's this is low
level stuff. What went on? It is not an attack. It is not 911 it
is not Pearl Harbor. It is not Russian paratroopers descending
on Washington. This kind of hyperbole and attack on America
suggest we need to attack Russia. So you've got Mr. Booth
saying that Trump should threaten Russia.
Exactly. It's lunacy. And
I'm sorry, he cut out the end of that because he had one more
point to make. Oh, I didn't have it. Go to my clip and Kid pick
up the last part of it. Okay.
President Trump today talking about politics.
We have meddled in there's this is low level stuff. What went
on? It is not an attack. It is not 911 it is not Pearl Harbor.
It is not Russian paratroopers descending on Washington. This
kind of hyperbole and attack on America suggest we need to
attack Russia. So you've got Mr. Boot saying that Trump should
threaten Russia with what does he want to attack try so what I
think I think that Mr. Boot would have been happy and would
have been happy if If Trump had waterboarded Putin at the summit
and made him convinced, carried out and active diplomacy fully
consistent with the history of American Presidency. Let us see
what comes out of it, then judge.
That is a good point. I'm glad we had that. And all of this
brings me to my favorite sports presenter, Jason Whitlock, who
he, he's he's kind of summed this up in in his two in a two
minute segment here, which he calls cyber humans against real
humans.
There's a deadly cultural war being waged that isn't being
discussed on Fox News, MSNBC or CNN, cyber humans versus humans,
people whose reality is shaped by the internet versus people
whose reality is shaped by the real world. Right now, cyber
humans are crushing humans, it might be the most one sided war
in the history of the world. Cyber humans live on three
planets, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They use Facebook to
promote their delusional lifestyles. They visit Instagram
for sex, and they use Twitter to control what all of us think.
Twitter is their weapon of war, cyber humans control the media
and celebrities, America's tastemakers through Twitter,
they bully us into buying into their false sense of reality
with Twitter bots and thought police and lynch mobs Twitter's
why the media and celebrities believe police are
indiscriminately killing large numbers of black men. Twitter's
why Colin kapernick believes police brutality is a bigger
threat to black men than mass incarceration and poverty.
Twitter's why Kaepernick and his supporters think the best way to
show the Black Lives Matters is by being publicly angry when a
white police officer kills a black man unjustly and silent
when a black man kills a black boy. unjustly, Twitter's a
cesspool of 140 character bigotry, it's the virus
spreading racial division in the real world. Cyber humans spend
their lives locked in this virtual world. Unable to see the
humanity and their classmates next door neighbors and co
workers unwilling to accept the good people might disagree with
them. They filter out flawed human beings and only let like
minded cyber humans into their smartphone reality. They avoid
connecting, talking and engaging in the real world in a real way.
They duck their heads and stare at their phones for cyber humans
is safer to tweet and text and snap. But as a safer for us.
Those of us who visit the cyber world but prefer living in the
real one
There you go. The only thing he had wrong was the name. Cyber
humans. That doesn't work.
Well, it was okay. How about how about didn't bother me? Pitch
was good.
How about I zombies? Zombies? That's better. I zombies it's a
little more it's appropriate. Yeah,
everyone was a good guy was good. Where'd you Where'd that
come from?
From for from Fs one baby fox sports one that I watch all the
time. This one and with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage and say in the morning to you John C where the C stands
for conspiracy of que Gomorrah.
In the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the morning Space
Force. In the morning all ships and sea Bucha the ground feet
near subs in the water neighbors nice.
Yes. In the morning to the troll room. No agenda stream.com.
Everybody has been there. They were very helpful this morning.
We have not had a knock on wood. A single outage. John. They were
there this morning when we figured out that we just had to
turn off the ipv6. It's been fantastic. Who the hell knew but
that's what it is. Thank you troll room. No agenda stream.com
Also in the morning to comic strip blogger. Once again. He's
got his art featured nicely on the album art for episode 1055.
The title of that was tongue Jemen. And this was the creepy
broadcast system logo which looked like lips or something
else depending on how you look
at it. It was mental Yeah, yeah. There's he also did the shithole
Texas one which was a good site not to use. He
used it in the in the newsletter, right? Yeah, it
was in the Whoo. Yeah, using the newsletter. It was also I think
it's because we didn't use it for a number of reasons. But it
was good, well done.
And I want to say no agenda, our generator.com and that's where
you can upload your art. And thank you comic strip blogger
and everybody else who helped us out and we use it for all kinds
of things and your value is highly appreciated.
Know what we talked about. Adam kind of touched on it as other
people should listen All about was that he was determined that
he has this router that was causing the problems in the last
show, which really was covered up by the editing. We had 22
edits. Yeah. Which as far as he's concerned, you might as
well shoot yourself. So, looking into the forums, we discovered
that his router has all kinds of issues. It's a piece of crap,
according to most people, yeah. But there's the one that we
provide him with, and what he's supposed to do. And so it was
being replaced. It's supposed to, but somebody mentioned that
they did things cleared up for them when they turned off ipv6.
Yeah. And that was that's supposed to be the future of the
internet.
So he turns it off in this stuff, the problem disappears.
And further on in the same comment that was in the forum.
It wasn't on at and T's website, too, which is funny, was the guy
says he says he calls up to 18 T about this, turning this off,
which seemed to clear up the problem for him. And he said,
No, no, no, no, no, you got to turn that back on. You got to
turn it back on the 18. T guy
said that, yeah, GK goes nuts. They're probably sucking out
statistics or something through ipv6. Oh, lord knows what
they're doing.
It could be it could be something good. Something
onerous going on. So turn off ipv6 on your,
on your Yeah, if you have the because I have 18 T fiber. And
we saw just so many interruptions, and I was doing
work this morning. And I was like, Okay, this I'm literally
losing packets. So it's on my end. I love
no reason to be losing packets at all, especially now gigabit.
No, no,
you know, I'm always happy to think the problem is on your
end. That's because it usually is. But that's it yeah, so but
I'm gonna get a I'm gonna get a proper router. So that's what it
is. And I'm very happy because the 20 is not the edits. I don't
care. I'll edit 100 times I can do them fast, but it really hurt
the flow of the show. Free is really hurts it.
So let's take a few people for short. 1060 56 we get it
potentially. Scott littler. Li TT le AR in Nashville, Tennessee
starts off at $520 Good man. can't thank you enough for all
that you do the best podcast in universities. The highlight of
my week I'd like to make the donation the name of my 12 year
old daughter Elizabeth littler. Her I know agenda executive
producer and giving her a strong start toward a future Dame hood.
She enjoys listening to the show and ever she's in the car in the
truck with me and given the awful Nashville traffic between
home and her school. She listens a lot. This weekend, I'm flying
out to Sacramento secto to pick her up from her mother where she
spent the summer vacay
Oh, she'll need new programming. Yep, we've in
California,
she'll need to be reprogrammed.
It's gonna take a while probably a month or two of solid listing
just tired down. We've been planning to meet and reading
just so that I didn't have to drive all that way up to the Y
Rica. Oh, she's up in y Rica. The wildfires seems to still be
raging up there. So if I'm to believe the news on Sunday show
you mentioned the fires in the rain six. I don't recall the
actual treatment being administered in NorCal. Nor was
there might you give the reading Mount Shasta regional little
rainstick shake to clear the way it's already just clearing,
clearing and harp is off. So no worries.
To have Elizabeth's favorite no agenda clips are Colombians for
Trump. Yeah, you know that one? Yes, I do. And don't wrath. Why
are you rapping Shut up. If you could please those along with
karma, I would truly appreciate it lately. She's gone bonkers.
Her Japanese anime, manga, et cetera. And the Colombian woman
does remind us a lot of her mother. So these two clips bring
her to let it bring her to laughing tears when I fire up
the no agenda sound. She's about to she's about to start seventh
grade. And the second year with her mother living far away she's
she's where she wants to be heading back to school, but it's
hard on her living with grumpy old me all the time. And this
Mr. Mom could use some help to is there finding a part time
nanny karma. But finding a living baby.
Yeah, really? Dude. You're not thinking straight. You're not
thinking straight. It could be great
for both of you. This low donation talk this summer has
been really concerning. It's hard to imagine Thursdays and
Sundays without your news analysis insights and hilarious
banter. Hope this small donation helps keep things rolling. Best
regards.
It's a little long, but I think we should play it if she gets
such joy from it. And as an executive producer of Hell yeah.
Where are you from? Oh this is just a setup did I ever meet you
before? I'm gone gotten about this beautiful thank you. Thank
you. Thanks That's so great. Why have you all shut up? Shut up.
You've got karma
you know, he's a get a Colombian nanny.
I always forget I forgot that clip. That's very funny.
It's great. But he should get a Colombian nanny because a his
his daughter will like it and be hot that Colombian nannies.
Yeah, I guess just that's just a just a tip.
Stephen Stephen boo, Zinger. Boo singer. 500 Rs, I just left my
old job. In order to start my new job selling roofs. Then I
realized that some job current would be a good thing to release
it into the ether. Please make sure to pronounce my last name
correctly. So that way the karma knows where to go blue singer.
I've been listening since 2011. And every episode is great.
$500 Thank you very much. Here it is. Here it is.
You've got karma.
One that there was an interesting tweet this morning.
That was at both of us. I don't know if you saw it. And people
who are new to the show with saying oh, what is this karma
stuff? It's nothing we came up with people start asking for it.
When someone gave us the harp sound. We start playing it. So
it's it's by request. But it also appears to work when people
asked for jobs selling karma moving karma job karma in
particular. That's where we first noticed it really did
appear to work. Frank Yonan on Twitter said this morning.
Regarding the karma stuff. Have you guys considered quantum
physics as a possible explanation? With Listen, I have
with uttered hope being not much more than charged particles
causing quantum vibrations. Science baby.
Though the lot of evangelical Christians have this thought
that two or three people getting together, especially if they're
holding hands, and having the same prayer, yeah, it has an
effect. Yeah. Similar kind of thing if it was going to be
blamed on quantum physics.
I stick to it. Karma is quantum.
Jennifer aka Viking mom for her dollars and 17 cents. Another
unknown city. I just found your show and I love it. Oh, just
found your show. And I love it. I know this is a little long,
but I hope that I can you read it. Read it all because I'm so
sick of the echo chamber where I live here in Redwood City,
California, which is that the headquarters of box network EA
Oracle, which is almost next door to Facebook and 20 miles
south of the poop filled city of San Francisco. We conservatives
like to call ourselves travelers so nobody knows we're in Denver,
right? Is
this true? If you're conservative in California, you
have to have a traveler. Traveler. Are you a Democrat?
I'm a traveler.
So what I do, I'm unaffiliated, and you should be too. As a
former anyway, she goes on as a former leader of a nationwide
women's networking group with 1000s of friends in California
and across the country. I had to hide my feelings. When women
yell out, don't use Uber use lift. So when I decided to come
out of the conservative closet in my first post about the walk
away movement, not only were guns a blazing, but I could hear
Jaws hitting the floor. Women were saying what's wrong? Do I
need to talk lol shock and all that a woman voted for Trump in
California. I came out and I'm being more vocal now because I
believe in order for California to change respected people and
leaders in the community have to start showing their difference
of opinion without worrying about losing losing business or
friends. Here's another bit my husband is from Sweden and my
dad has immigrated here from Denmark and socialism is bad.
Referencing Scandinavia as a reason why it works is
deceiving. You want a 50 hour wait time for the ER that's the
fact they don't talk about but I digress. So California Are you
ready to pick up the poop? Then you have to do something more
than occasional posts on Facebook. Think a yard sign a t
shirt be vocal let's start educating by hosting face To
face events, even if it's just getting five to 10 of your
friends together to discuss the upcoming election. If we keep
silent California will never flip back. We will have to hit
the ground running to make sure Gavin Newsom does does not win
the governorship. Okay, well, that's my wish because I know
California has conservatives we do exist and when California
flips the entire country, we'll see the writing on the wall. We
Californians don't really want to be our own country or fall
into the ocean because of giant earthquake or have a wall built
behind us. We want to make California great again. Anywho I
often recommend your podcast to all those who will listen and
wanted to donate to the show in honor of my 40th birthday on
August 17, where I will be having a party in the center of
Brookfield San Francisco. Your friend out west, Jennifer, aka
Vikki mom. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a cold
read.
You've got karma?
Yes. I'm glad. You're so proud of yourself. That was a nice
note from Viking mom. That was? Well, I hope she picks up little
tidbits from the show that she can use to ease people into it
because it's going to be very difficult. In California,
we have the this is the state that has the voter election
fraud. Yes. And so we have this domination from the people doing
it. And of course the media is all for it. So there's nobody's
bitches much about anything and everyone's happy. Everyone's
happy. We have potholes everywhere, poop on the streets,
nothing gets fixed. I was driving down the freeway to the
airport. Here we go. And all you can see those areas of the
highway at night because I'm not gonna talk about potholes. I'm
gonna talk about weeds. There are so many weeds. We have half
the population of the state is in jail. They can't bring them
out to pull up weeds.
But you're done. Come on. I'm done.
Oh man.

and remember, we've got another show on sunday.org/now. Just
like Viking mom you can go out there and take our formula and
propagate and our formula
is this. We go out for people in the mouth Indeed.
Yeah, well, we can go to a bunch of minor things or we can do the
I got I got a little insight on their Les Moonves story.
Ah, yes, the President CEO of CBS who apparently Monday his
fate will be decided by the board if you can stay on or not.
Well, if he stays on I can tell you someone who's going to be in
a heap of trouble. Yeah, but let's get to that after we
played Moonves latest. This is the update on NBC
now to our NBC News exclusive and the scandal surrounding
cheap Les Moonves. We've learned a woman went to Los Angeles
police last year with sexual abuse allegations against
Moonves dating back to the 1980s. But Moonves is not facing
charges in that case, and bases. Morgan Radford explains why,
tonight what may be a seventh woman accusing CBS CEO Les
Moonves of sexual misconduct. Prosecutors in Los Angeles
declined to pursue charges stemming from those claims
earlier this year because they say the statute of limitations
expired. The unidentified woman went to police last year
reporting one incident from 1986 and two others from 1988.
According to an official document obtained by NBC News,
if the statute of limitations has expired, there's simply no
way to bring a case no matter how strong the evidence is
this following the bombshell New Yorker report last week. The
article details six women's accounts that include
accusations ranging from forcible touching or kissing to
physical intimidation between the 1980s and the 2000s. But
Stephen Colbert is speaking out on his CBS show, Les
Moonves is mine guy, and I like working for him. But
accountability is meaningless. Unless it's for everybody
Moonves card. I recognize that there were times decades ago,
when I may have made some women uncomfortable by making
advances. Those were mistakes, and I regret them immensely, and
I have never misused my position to harm or hinder anyone's
career. And a statement last Friday, CBS said we do not
believe, however, that the picture of our company created
in the New Yorker represents a larger organization that does
its best to treat its 10s of 1000s of employees with dignity
and respect. Moonves who is staying in place during the
independent investigation is expected to speak at a CBS
earnings call on Thursday. Morgan Radford, NBC News, New
York.
So what are you implying Colbert will be in trouble? Oh, yeah.
Now
I thought that this was a Roger Stone, or someone of his ilk
behind this, but I couldn't put two and two together. And now to
say why because Moonves is you know, is just a happy go lucky
guy making lots of money on advertising during elections.
Right. But but then when I heard Cole bear, and I have to, and by
the way, his job is to harm or hinder. That's what he does.
Yeah. CEO of CBS. Yeah, so I'm not here to harm him or
she made some breaks. Of course, that's the definition of what he
does. What he does
is his job, but okay, whatever he says is fine. I have two
versions. I have the complete cold bear speech, which is what
it was. It's almost it's over just over two minutes. And I
have just a part that's important.
Oh, screw it. Let me hear the whole thing is
this will be called bit nuts. Not funny. This Coal Baron
Moonves, and he brings out everything and in within this
spiel, I realized why Roger Stone decided and when they said
that this thing that they just threw at him from was from last
year 2017 with this woman who comes out of the blue and says,
I will you know, he tried to rape me in 1985 or whatever.
This is this another was just happened a while ago when they
started going after Moonves. And it just took it took Ronan Ronan
to end up finally bringing him kind of down. But when you
listen to Cole bear I want to explain after we listened is
called bear on Moonves complete. I'm going to tell you what
happened.
Folks, before the break, I was over there, making jokes about
my boss being in trouble, and I was still broadcasting. You know
what? Don't tell me I like a surprise. And here's the thing.
We're coming up on one year of general awareness of the me to
movement and I think that milestone is worth celebrating.
But it's hard to think of an appropriate anniversary gift
when the entire Amazon wishlist is just stop it. By the way,
women who wanted to stop it also searched for Justus, and women
over the past year have felt empowered to tell their stories
in ways they haven't before, which is an objectively good
thing. Because in a strange to have to say this powerful men
taking sexual advantage of relatively powerless employees
are wrong. We know it's wrong now.
And we knew it was wrong then. And how do we know we knew it
was wrong then? Because we know these men tried to keep the
stories from coming out back then. I don't remember. I don't
remember any ads in variety saying congratulations to me on
all the but I'm groping
to this, he's really going to do a two minute apology for this
guy. Is that Is that what this is going to wind up to be?
No.
That said, and this is obviously naive on a certain level, the
revelations and accusations of the past year just in the
entertainment industry alone have been shocking. To me. To
many of the women, I know, it has brought a welcome sense of
relief that something's finally happening. Now, as a middle aged
guy, with some power in the entertainment industry, I may
not be the ideal person to address this kind of systemic
abuse. Who am I to judge? I'm a Catholic, still. And when I go
to confession, I have things to confess, first, that I don't go
to confession. That I just lied to you for a bit. But this
weekend, some people asked me probably because I work here,
what do you think is going to happen? I don't know. I don't
know who does know, in a situation like this, I'd
normally call less. But over the past year, there's been a lot of
discussion about whether the disappearing of the accused from
public life is the right thing to do. And I get that there
should be levels of response. But I understand why that
disappearing happens. Because there's a JFK quote that I like,
and I cite a fair amount on the show. And it's that those who
make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent
revolution inevitable. And for so long for women in the
workplace, there was no change, no justice for the abused. So we
shouldn't be surprised that when the change comes, it comes
radically. This war is just a natural backlash to all that
silence. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's
going to happen. But I do believe in accountability. And
not just for politicians you disagree with. Everybody
believes in accountability until it's their guy. And make no
mistake, Les Moonves is my guy. He hired me to sit in this
chair. He stood behind this show, while we were struggling
to find our voice. He gave us the time and the resources to
succeed. And he has stood by us when people were mad at me. And
I like working for him. But accountability is meaningless.
Unless it's for everybody. Whether it's the leader of a
network, or the leader of the free world. We'll be right back.
Luckily, we got Trump in there just at the very end. Thank
Goodness Good work,
you know, yes, the bed and so he threw Moonves under the bus.
Yeah. After he goes on and says the thing that I think triggered
the whole thing. I didn't realize that Moonves according
to Colbert right there, made his show happen. He's the one who
hired him. David Letterman, always bitched about the fact
that Moonves never asked him once, who he should hire as his
replacement. He was irked about it. And nobody consulted
anybody. It was Moonves who picked letter our Colbert and
put him in the show. And then it was Moonves who helped him along
the way. And it was probably Moonves who directed him to
become this anti Trump kind of a caricature. That would be enough
to get make Moonves a target of a
lie. Yeah, well, okay. Now, that's, I just wanna remind you,
that's not how Colbert started out. In fact, he was failing
until he started becoming Mr. Anti choice.
And that's what who pushed him in that direction. Les Moonves,
yeah, he was failing and dead, he says,
and, and he, Les Moonves really wanted that, because as Mike
probably have the clip somewhere. He knows that that
just brings more ratings with the controversy over the
president, which brings in ADS he was very vocal about that in
his shareholder meeting how great the President is for
advertising.
Right so he but this makes him a target of Roger Stone dirty
tricks. Yes, yes, yes. And if this is paying off, meanwhile,
maybe maybe yes, go ahead. Well, meanwhile, if I'm cold bear and
I had a guy do this for me. Pick me out of the blue put me in the
show. Nobody else got me on the show. He put me in the show. He
fixes the show, which I believe he probably did. Because the guy
is something of a programming genius. He fixes the show. So
Colbert thrives. And he supports Colbert. And Colbert himself
says, do they hated me? They did this. And then Moonves help,
instead of just
shutting up.
Or even defending Moonves because Moonves says, he didn't
do any of this stuff. And I, he's my guy. And so I'm going
to, you know, I'm going to support him because he's the guy
that, you know, in other words, instead of taking one for the
team, or falling on the sword, or doing anything that you would
do with somebody who did all that for you, instead of doing
that, he condemns Moonves goes
out of his way, the goal of this guy goes out of his way to do it
even.
Yes, he didn't have to do this long bit. You heard it. I think
it Moonves somehow stays in which it's possible, because the
CBS guys aren't stupid. And they can do maybe all Willis Suspend
him. They can do some of the things you should do. Yeah. And
Moonves gets his job back. This guy is
out. I like it, put it in the book. It needs to be in the
book. Yeah, it's going into book. Outstanding.
And by the way, here's the other thing. Here's another thing
that's a problem with what he did. Is somebody new comes in,
how can you trust this guy? Right? He's now untrustworthy.
Because you don't do this to your boss. Yeah, Colbert kind of
loses either way. Yeah, he can't win. He's, he's done. Why would
he have done that? Because he's stupid. He actually believes his
own. You know, his own propaganda. I mean, he's, he
thinks higher. I think he's got a big ego or something. Yeah,
this was this. What about single dumbest thing I've ever seen a
guy at that level? Do
you think he could be taken down by a meet a me too thing?
I think he's pretty judgment proof. I don't think so. He's
real choirboy boy. seems unlikely. I mean, it's
impossible to get trump up something, but I don't think
they need to this that he's just killed himself. Right there.
That's, it's it's unbelievably crazy. It because he's just
showing off. Yeah, no, I think I'm a big shot. And I think
everyone should be accountable, including my boss. After all the
things you did boss went through for him.
He should have. He should have just been quiet. Yeah, could it
You didn't have to do any of that? Not that I'm advocating,
you know, if you're quietness around a political situation
for him, yeah.
Well, I think I think you're spot on with that. And please
note it in the Red Book, so we can check it off when he gets
canned. And Natalia can move over to Euro land for a second.
A report now reveals that in one outskirt of Paris, there are
300,000 illegal migrants living in basically a ghetto. Did you
read about this? No.
Where's this ghetto? misuse, not just the Gypsy encampment?
Um, let me see if I can find the actual code. I shoot I shoot.
It's Paris. But I'm just trying to find Oh, here San Denise.
So Sansad Denise, and I never said it. Nisha, is I've been
there.
Yes. Home to as many as 300,000 illegal immigrants. When was the
last time you were there? What's it? What's it like what Santa
needs like?
I was there 20 years ago.
What was it like 20 years ago?
It was a fair suburb. They're all fairly similar. Very nice
and middle class area.
Apparently now it's not so nice anymore. That's what I
understand. You I my, my childhood friend Hans called me
from he lives in sea chess, which is south of Barcelona.
It's a beach town, little quiet. It's actually it's like a super
gay beach town, which makes sense for him to live there. And
I don't know if you saw that video in Spain of the migrants
landing with rubber boats and just run shore Gatoring. So I'm
talking to him. He says, oh, you know what happens with them? I
said no, because it's happening here too. He says, they run they
run into the city. They've got their safe house, they get dry
clothes and the next day, they're out selling fake Gucci
bags on the corner. He says the Gucci bags arrive either by
truck or maybe even with the same migrant shipment in the
rubber boat. And that's the next day the same guys are they're
just selling these bags everywhere. It's a Salesforce.
It's a Salesforce
sales forces.
ation of salesmen. My Gration it's a Salesforce. space for
Salesforce. Salesforce I thought it was fantastic. Like, holy
crap. No one is talking about this. Anyway, it's fun when you
talk to people once in a while from overseas, if you're
following Amazon, in their stock, which I'm sure you and
Horowitz do, I just want to give you a little tip little report
of what's going on because I frequent the whole foods here in
Austin, Texas. It is, of course, the flagship store. This is the
headquarters of Whole Foods. One of the many things Austin is
known for
Austin, the responsible for those that were stole Yes. Oh,
yes.
Yes. As you know, we are the capital of live music. So that's
why Whole Foods is here. Makes sense. So I'm always talking to
the fish guys and the meat guys. And you know, just seeing what's
up. And I've always liked the crab cakes. And so the crab
cakes have been out. We know why they were out because of the the
crab pickers there was an issue. That's how we learned about it
in the first place. This whole foods good intel, W F, Intel.
And the crab cakes are back. And I looked at him, I said they're
different. And in this case, the girl says, Yeah, you know, this
is really I'm not happy about this. But what he said What do
you mean? Well, we used to make them here. But now they send
them the goop premade. They send it over to us. And then we just
roll it in the breadcrumbs and they used to be six ounces. Now
they're five ounces for the same price. Now, I don't know if this
Intel is helpful for investing, but they're definitely making
moves in the whole foods.
Well, they've been making moves in the whole foods since day
bottom.
Well, this is the this is the first like provable, noticeable
thing. I mean, they haven't really changed the format. But
there's also these weird, I think they have Wi Fi detection.
That's the biggest I've never really looked at the ceiling and
Whole Foods. Why would I but I but I looked up the other day
and there's these weird, it looks like a light with a
reflector, but it has some other kind of element in it. And I
don't believe it's a light because it's kind of a shiny,
it's more of like a matte, shiny but matte finish reflector and
it has a looks like a like an antenna element. And I'm not
sure what it is you turn on your Oh, you can notice I can I
cannot do well, it wouldn't help me anyway.
You could look and see if there's a Wi Fi network.
So you know they have wi oh they have Wi Fi Sure they do. Oh
yeah. You got to sign in and everything. Oh, yeah. Oh, they
got Wi Fi. People sit. People pick up dates at Whole Foods to
dating Mecca to meet market. Really? Yes. If they Oh, yeah,
I didn't think that they did just from somebody just
objectively looking at it from it as a third party. I don't
think the selection is that good. Well, I heard about it
from Team and kinda like the salary selection.
Tina told me about this. I'd never paid attention to it. I've
seen where they all sit down and you know, and they're using
their laptops and the cafe. Yes, in the cafe. The cafe. That's
where you got to be. Now the rest is all yoga pants.
I tell you there's a real problem with the cafe. You have
to eat their food. Yeah, that is problematic. Yes,
but I see women there all the time drinking guys single guys
drinkin maybe like three in the afternoon. They're sitting in
the little cafe drinking. And so yeah, they got Wi Fi because
everyone's got their laptops and their phones out and they're all
looking all important. So anyway,
there's nothing more you just can't look any more important
than being in a free Wi Fi area. Doing your work.
Yeah, you look super important is great. Well, while we're on
food, we've had war on men. We've had war on straws. We have
war on chicken. What are the wars of war on cash. And now on
cash. Now we finally have the war on milk.
The FDA is looking into a change that would mean no more soy milk
or almond milk, at least not by those names Commissioner Scott
Gottlieb talked about the possibility of starting to
enforce a federal standard that defines milk is coming from
milking of one or more healthy cows. The National Milk
Producers Federation says it agrees that plant based dairy
imitators violate federal standards with their label but
the Good Food Institute are used that the term milk should be
permitted with modifiers for non dairy drinks, hence the name soy
milk or almond milk. The FDA would have to first notify
companies of the change and ask for public comment.
We we discussed this on the show some time back. And this is not
really a war on milk. It's a war on the misuse of the word milk
and we decided I think then we agree We agree that it should be
soy bean juice
SAP I like SAP better if I recall. Soy bean SAP juice.
No sassy that juice would work a one of our clips. See that SAP?
No, we don't have a clip for it, but I'm sure we could find you
know, someone will come up with a with a with a sap clip. Oh my
gosh. Can you see that juice? And then
the other thing is not really SAP is juice.
It's not really juice either. It's just water with chalk
shavings. Come on. It's not juice. It's not juice comes from
something you squeezed you don't squeeze the almond. These things
are just shavings.
That's true. Just make it it should be called almond slurry.
slurry. That's what it is to slurry.
It it's a descriptor and a brand at the same time.
Yeah, yeah, slurry.
Hey, everybody. Have you tried curry slurry? Huh?
Oh, man.
I wanted to restate my position on something. Okay. But don't
mock me right away. Oh, wait. It's about Bitcoin. Well, yeah.
And my argument about Bitcoin has always been it's not money.
And until I can pay my rent with it, it's not money, data. And I
think that still holds true. Then, of course, some people
there's lots of things you can buy with Bitcoin, but I can't
survive on Bitcoin alone. So it's not money. But I do think
it's a doomsday machine. And as I've been studying, so many so
many conferences these days, Bitcoin this blockchain that and
by the way, I think most other blockchain stuff has its place,
but it's really completely separate from Bitcoin. And I
noticed this myself when my daughter, she needed to, she
need my credit card for some of like, some travel thing, and she
only has a debit card, and they were hassling her about it. And
she said, I'll pay you back. Just give me your bank details.
I'm like, Oh, my manager will pay you back, whatever it is,
like no, I please don't do that. It never works. It never arrives
is always a problem. Pay Pal was the same, you know, so Oh, put a
hold on, you put a hold on your account is a big pain in the
ass. So they just send it to me in Bitcoin. And, you know, an
hour later I have it. Now that to me was an eye opener. I was
like, oh, you know, there's a very complicated process that
just got circumvented. And it was very easy for me, I have a
Bitcoin, coin base, whatever account so it was easy to turn
that into dollars. And it was you know, there was less, if
anything changed in the in the dollar to Bitcoin price at that
moment, it was made up by the fact that there wasn't a $25
processing fee. So there's something to this. And I think
the what has happened is Bitcoin has been Miss evangelized for 10
years. And the real power now I'm starting to see is twofold.
One is it is absolutely storable you can store value in this for
a short period of time without much risk. And you can do things
that have that are really quite impossible, which is
transferring money across the world. So hands down, fantastic
utility. The other thing that it does is it has a set built in
inflation schedule. So the way that bitcoin does have
inflation, when it first started 10 years ago was about 1,000%.
And, or little little, the timelines go off at about
1,000%. And now it's very consistent has gone down to 4.2%
around 4% inflation. But we will see this change as according to
the its inflation schedule, which is hard coded, it can't be
manipulated by a central bank or by the Federal Reserve, it will
change and we will see an I think a built in increase in
price as something called the halving takes place. For those
and I, I don't I don't think we have enough time or I have
enough knowledge to explain supply demand of something and
how it can really affect the price when it comes to inflation
and a currency or an asset, but built into Bitcoin that can only
be 21 million Bitcoins. And the closer we get to that number,
the harder it is to create the actual Bitcoin which is the next
piece which is important. If you look at history of items people
have used for money. They've used anything that was scarce so
big round stones So, in a place that didn't have that type of
marble or that type of stone, they viewed glass beads, which
worked great in, in the east, but then the travelers from the
west made those beads at home came over. And then the beads
were kind of useless because people were in effect,
counterfeiting their money at the time, and eventually became
down to precious metals, and gold and other things like
diamonds. And there's lots of types of objects that you can
store value in, that people will recognize and accept, not for
cash not not as cash not for buying a candy bar or anything
like that. But for storing it, absolutely. Now, I think that as
people like my daughter and her age, and somehow as they see the
value of at least having some, some money in Bitcoin for simple
things like a transaction, which really is like being part of the
bank transaction network, I mean, that's very powerful. When
you consider the if I want to transfer the money to her, she
transfers to me first, it goes to her bank, and then it sits
there. And then you know, they may actually decide, okay, well,
we'll transfer these fake digits over there, because it's such a
small amount, or we trust the sender, that their settlement
and that settlement takes place in the middle of the night. And
there's all kinds of back and forth, and it's a very
inefficient system. Banks now too, are starting to use Bitcoin
and only not blockchain, not Aetherium, or ripple, or
anything else, but only Bitcoin. Because the security of the
network is so vast over these 10 years that it's been built up,
you can actually trust that that money that value, significant
identifier will transfer within a reasonable amount of time to
you. I think that we will see at least one central bank decide to
either probably to start buying Bitcoin, and it may already be
happening, but I think someone will announce it will be some
weird ass country, and it could trigger everybody jumping on to
this. Or, you know, maybe the Federal Reserve would would be
interested as a hedge, you know, why not? They have gold as all
kinds of different assets. I think it's now strong enough for
them to do that. But if that happened, I think we move from a
world where people are just used credit cards and debt all the
time to a world where at least some money is put into Bitcoin,
because of two reasons. One, it's easy if I just need to
transfer it somewhere or do something. It's not really good
for illegal stuff, because it is trackable. But at the same time,
and I think this will prove prove true over time because of
the inflation schedule, which I hadn't really understood very
well, that the value of Bitcoin against the dollar, but ag
against any currency will consistently rise it'll it'll go
up and down. But we'll see another big spurt after this,
what do you have 20,000 It could easily surpass that on the next
spurt, but that probably won't happen until the end of 2019.
And you and I neither of you, your eye unless quantum
computing really hits big will ever see the 21 million Bitcoins
made because they're hard to make. So just like gold, you can
find gold you can mined gold, you know, it's not a cheap
process. And you can make money that way, but you can't just
really go printing gold that easily. And bitcoin is the same
way. So I think that we move economies will move away from
this debt system, and people will have some actual it's still
all virtual and just a concept but they'll have this idea of
money that they're actually saving instead of running on
debt. And I think that could actually symbolize a doomsday
machine blow up the entire way the central banking system
functions and I believe it's already underway.
cerimon Okay
yeah, I didn't think you'd be be too into it.
To the thought that the bankers these bankers have been running
the world for the last 500 years or plus, yeah, are gonna just be
swept aside by this. Satoshi. whatever his name is, product,
Bitcoin. Because they're dumb. And they just soon give it up.
So we can have this doomsday machine that you describe I'm
glad you went on on about that. That's was a very long spiel, I
should say. But okay, whatever you think I don't care? Well,
your what your what your real argument is, wow, I could get
this money transfer without 20 paying an extra $25. Yes. And
and all those inefficiencies the way the banks or the banks have
been trying to fix it the pop money Zell.
Mr. Word, yeah, but it doesn't work internationally.
It's there's internet rational solutions
No there isn't. I wouldn't I wouldn't okay I'm not here to
argue I'm giving you my revised because
you said you got your money you'd find that you got your
money you would you know no problem and that's great. I'm
saying I'm saying that's not that's not me that's great. I
think it's because the banks can't get their act together to
get the money around because of various regulations a lot of it
has to do with that the US government you can't even open a
bank account up overseas
so here comes here comes the second point why why I like it
so let's say you just have some some money stored in Bitcoin the
government can they can easily confiscate your house your car
they can put it you know, garnish your wages there's a lot
of things they can do to grab your assets. Bitcoin ultimately
you can just store a number in your head and have no other way
for anyone to take that away from you. shoot you in the head
yeah, well then it's gone is gone forever and then he's no
you know, used to you either. I think that's a pretty big deal
for someone who has had his wages garnished and bank
accounts frozen
All right, well put your eggs in the Bitcoin basket then
I'm going to and I'm going to run as the Bitcoin president. I
was going to ask you to be my VP I'm out really come on. You get
a nice house all we have to do is to show and just follow the
Constitution and then they'll and the only policy change we
make as we turn the the Federal Reserve into a Bitcoin mining
operation. Mm.
Theremin No, no, no, no,
no. Have you already had one Theramin so I'm changing my
position. I think that definitely has a future and I'm
not sure where it fits in. But it has a an actual verifiable,
and I use it future.
Good. Glad you feel that way.
Let me write this show date down.
Didn't expect you to be all over it. No, of course not.
Sean Spicer came on Jimmy Kimmel to change this epic radically.
Oh yes. This is BookOut or another book or what is
he? He's got a book on Kindle decides to kind of eat it does a
pretty soft job of it. But he insults him. Where is it? I
don't see it here. Kim. Oh, Spicer. Okay, I
was looking for spice or cumulus my problem.
You know, like my mom. My dad and my wife had been my
strongest advocates and supporters. And I think there
were clearly times where she felt, you know, felt for me in a
way that only a mother can.
Did she ever say go in there and tell that son of a bitch Trump
to stop making you lie? My mother would never speak like
would never speak.
Yeah, me me will another. It's kind of a counterbalance to that
clip was you know, Stephen Cohen doesn't get a lot of airtime and
he doesn't get on CNN much. You'd probably never be back.
But Seymour Hersh also kind of disappeared from the scene. He
was black Baldy, who
was a Pulitzer Prize winning highly decorated investment.
Great. He's a he's a role model, investigative journalist. But he
came on something and he just threw a commentary out, I
believe it was on CNN or one of the ones or maybe not, but this
is I thought this was worth listening to. I think the days I
worked were much simpler days now we have something called
cable news. 24 hour news, in which is so easily manipulated
by the White House and by others, particularly people in
Congress with one axe to grind. And so now you have really no
independent news. My view is that for disliking Trump is
Catena for the cable news companies, MSNBC and CNN who are
hostile to him. On the other side, you have Fox News, which
is friendly to him. You have the major papers in New York and
Washington to times and the post good newspapers but very hostile
to Trump and jumping on everything he says. So you
really have it's good for writing. Cyber law.
Yeah, it's great for ratings. And I think everyone's talking
about Bob Woodward's book we should be seeing him everywhere
pretty soon.
Yeah, the I don't think the CIA is finished writing it yet. To
see what is it called again? It's Oh, I can't find it here.
Oh, yes, here it is White House braces, White House braces for
new Woodward book now. Bob Woodward, one of the co author
who brought down and Nixon with the Watergate scandal. That's
why people love this. The title of the book is fear Trump in the
White House. A great, yeah. And it was I reading some article
about, about the media about the press, and that pretty much
everybody who was in media now today grew up with Bernie
Woodward and Bernstein, and they all got into journalism, wanting
to be them. Would that fit the description based on the people?
You know? No, I
think that's not true. I think those people are already passed
by for the new millennials that are in journalism, and they're,
they're post Watergate. And many of you don't even know what
water gates about. And none of them would get the movie which
one of the greatest movies Anyone who remembers that era?
The movie,
Dick? Oh, yes, we watched that. That was good. That was a good
movie.
It's a very good movie. And today's millennials and people
that are working in the business right now in the journalism
because there's not that many oldsters left, oh, went into
public relations. Writing native ads.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There's no difference in those two paths.
No, it's the same path, but they're in public relations. So
they're told what they're, they're they're told what to
write in a different way.
Yeah, it's just a different style, but it's still the same
infrastructure.
And so they didn't people currently working. I believe 90%
of them would not get the movie dick.
Was it? Is it newswire? A PR Newswire that's maybe that's
where the story come came from PR Newswire, which I always
thought was just shady operation. Apparently, they only
look shady on the web with it. You know, they always had these
really horrible press releases. And, you know, if I remember
years ago on the show be like, Oh, where'd you read this? Oh,
it's a PR Newswire? Oh, well, PR Newswire really feeds, AP and
Reuters and all these other guys and how have to dig up this this
article. It's some high number of 75 or 80% of all news stories
you read come through PR Newswire, I don't
believe that for a minute. I think PR Newswire is huge. And
they do and they produce so much copy that a lot of news stories
do get picked up from these, but I think are many times lame.
News. These are classic old public relations, news releases,
which always require which has way too much input from the
company requiring that our CEO needs to be quoted stuff. So you
have a quote for gratuitous quote from the CEO because he
needs to be quoted. I think a lot of stuff comes, you know,
the dead stuff. So gets pulled out and his elegance completely
rewritten. But I don't believe that number.
Well, and I was trying to see if I could find this interview
with, I guess it was one of the founders of a PR Newswire, it's
a lot more than that. It's they have all these other divisions.
It's huge operation.
Well, the only the only reason I bring it up is I believe that
that is really the the genesis of today's journalism, where,
okay, here's the stories that are fed to us. The stories come
in, we used to have fact checkers, we've talked about
this, they really don't exist anymore. I've been fact checked
by the New York Times, maybe twice the last time was when the
iPhone came out. When a fact checker called me to ask some
questions. There is no budget anymore for the fact checkers.
So most of that goes now checked against Wikipedia or some other
online sources by an intern. And we move to today's journalists
who have kind of been trained this way. fact checking is
that's No wonder everyone made such a big deal about fact
checking because they don't actually do it anymore. And now
that's been outsourced to a whole bunch of groups, who are
going to be the bastions of truth, including Tucker
Carlson's Daily Caller Foundation, like Screw all those
guys telling us what's true and what's not true. So now, the new
place to get your news from instead of PR Newswire, a that's
the old generation is Twitter. And that's why we're seeing all
this bullshit in the news. It's just there's an outrage. We grab
it, we make it into a new story. Good example here. This is the
baseball story.
We live in times of instant mass outrage. someone does something
says something or he's seen doing something and they can be
demonized with a click. The next time you might be tempted. Think
of this, the fourth inning of Sunday's game between the
Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals
and I want to point out another sports story from Adam curry.
The cubs first
base coach tossed a foul ball to his smiling youngster in the
stands who wore a Cubs hat endearing ly too large for him.
The kid bobble the baseball. People saw next in video clips
that zipped around the world was a man with close cropped hair.
who sat behind the boy scooping up the baseball and give it to
the woman next to him. Tweets and other social media posts
began a barrage about the man who felt a foul ball from a
little boy. There could be no doubt. We saw it. The cubs front
office quickly dispatched to staffer down to the seats. He
gave the youngster a new ball signed by heavy bias the Cubs
shortstop little boy smiled into the brim of his boat sized hat
and held up to baseballs. The cubs tweeted the photo to say
Javi biosign bowl should take care of it. What the Cubs
discovered from people nearby was that the man in question,
wound up with four balls during the game and gave three to
children, including the young man who had appeared to be
swindled, he also gave one to his wife. It was their
anniversary, Julian green to the Cubs said in a statement
unfortunately, a video that was quickly posted and unverified
has made a national villain out of an innocent man. The man
doesn't want to be identified but said through the team, many
volleyballs came our way that day. And we're happily shared
among the children in our area. No one left disappointed. I am
not that guy that the media and social media made me out to be
and I saw the video and I thought the same thing. I
thought, oh, cheese. What a douchebag. Yeah, but this was
big. I mean, everybody reported on this. And it and oh, by the
way, where's the retraction? Kudos to NPR for doing that.
Well, there's no such thing as a retraction on Twitter.
No, but the it it went from Twitter to mainstream
publications. You see, this is how it works. The journalists
sit around trolling on Twitter, waiting waiting for something to
happen. They look at trending, refresh, refresh, refresh. Oh,
that's what they got. Trump even better by let's report on it
right away. That's what's going on.
Well not to do. Hopefully, it's not what's going on the way you
describe it, but they do pay attention to Twitter. It's like
you know, this a news feed.
What you know, I was thinking about news feed. If your email
work like Twitter's news feed, you would shoot yourself in the
head.
Seriously, okay, well
explain what you're looking at your newsfeed all of a sudden an
old email pops up. Oh wait, there's an email from that
someone I do didn't send the email to me but it was posted
there because of someone who I know received the email so I got
a copy. Now why is email work because it's one feed one inbox
in chronological order. Now is somewhere down there somewhere
Tuesday.
See the difference? is a huge difference. Yeah. And so what is
the method of communication the other one is a method of mass
microblogging by the public at large to which you will either
subscribe to or don't but time
the essence of time is is what people are only thing we really
have in our heads is we know we understand to some degree time
an overview of something now I think that the what Twitter has
done, and they're really messing around with their feed now is
stupid. They're gonna end up like Facebook. People are gonna
hate it. It's gonna it's gonna
help people are gonna hate it. People are flocking away
Facebook is gonna go under next week. That's right.
I don't know. I don't know but I tried on it's not gonna go
under. I think flaming Facebook's gonna go under night.
What are you saying?
Let me the way you're saying oh, people are bailing out they hate
it they hate it. You're the only guy knows bailed out. And I'm
not still not convinced you're not gonna go back? Well, I'm
seeing a different trend. Yeah, cuz you're
bailing out and you're you. You're like, you're like this
unlike me. You're like the GAO gave up smoking. And you know,
you're not this type. But you're but you're like the guy when it
comes to Facebook. Maybe you are. But you're like the guy who
gives up smoking and then makes a big fuss or galgos of alcohols
even worse, makes a big fuss over everybody who didn't give
it up or door still drinks or still smokes it's the way your
face but you quit Facebook and now you're you're looking Do you
see it all as negative and you're just projecting your
hate?
No, you're you're projecting your bullshit on me right now.
Because I am just informing you of things I'm seeing and
trending has nothing to do with what my personal belief is about
Facebook. i Okay, well, I'll not talk about it. The show will be
10 minutes shorter douche.
No, you hate Facebook. Now you're hate. You're hating on
Twitter.
I'm not hating on Twitter. I'm telling you that they're
changing things that are detrimental to what they do.
That's that's The legitimate statement has nothing to do with
with.
I hate faith big.
And I've resent you saying that, honestly.
Well, I'm sorry you resent it, but you don't like Facebook, but
you view me
through the filters that you are my friend. So I'll leave it at
that.
So I've never used Facebook. So I don't really know. When it
comes to Twitter, I use Twitter a lot. And I don't see any
changes. I think it's the same crappy system has always been.
They don't take it they don't daily take kind of dough.
Anything I've seen actually is people like Devin newness and
these people they used to just subvert by bouncing them and
putting your clown Bozo filter on him. I'm now seeing their
feeds Hold on
a second. I just need to put my cue glasses on I feel better
that way. Go ahead, continue.
I'm seeing an improvement in the kind of feeds I get on Twitter.
I think they've fixed some of their problems, or at least
they've covered them up in a positive way.
Okay. Great. Okay, so nothing so.
I mean, I'm Theramin I'm, I'm an old does. I'm just someone who
stopped smoking and is just angry and pointing it out. Yeah,
no, no, that's nice. It's not true.
All right. But okay, subject then
now you please go ahead. Let's hear your fabulous things you
have brought today. I got nothing.
I'm gonna show my move by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
all right. We have a few people have thanked for the show. 1056
including, they've got a note from this guy. Oh, yeah, Duke.
But anonymous, see Duke named Ben nonnamous. He says I've been
something of a douchebag due to an extended gap in employment.
He is at Duke so I must atone for it with a magic number

was due to my wife losing her nursing job in 2017. She was out
of work for over six months and she urged twice as much money as
me. I was forced to change jobs to increase our cash flow. But
things have definitely improved these days. Now she's working at
a much less stressful job making more money than our previous
gig. And even though she commutes still sucks, we both
certainly are better off than before. He goes on with his with

Frankly, is it appalling that the FBI even allows his staff to

down all Company issued phones. So we not only block users from
installing unapproved apps or games on their devices, we can

without the financial donations is really the easiest way. And
just send whatever you think the show was worth to you. That's
always been our position, and we appreciate how much people
appreciate it. And another show coming up on Sunday. Remember
os.org/nk We got lots of comments to deal with here

karma jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got

mention we've got two meetups happening. We have August 10. In
Seattle, Washington from 6pm to 8pm. At Vons 1000 spirits sounds
like a drink and hold me. downtown Seattle. Are you
familiar with this? Establishment?
No, but it's going to be do you think if you go to Mimi's got
something set up? I'm gonna send a mailing out. I'll mention the
next newsletter. We'll have some details. Yeah.
meetup.meetup.com. I think she's she's really taken over the
group. What happened? All of a sudden she's in boom, she's
taking care of business.
I don't know. Maybe we're not making enough money. I have no
idea. But she did do that. And she's got these things posted
there. I don't like meetup.com. Now, no one seems to really like
it. Because for one thing, they do cut offs and that you don't
want like for example, I don't think you need to RSVP for these
things. And then you just show up. There's a big one in
Washington DC I think you're about to mention yet, is
apparently gonna have 45 people or something for some reason?
Well, half half the CIA is going to be there. Well, let's
hope so.
It's in Arlington, actually. In Arlington, Virginia August 12.
From 12pm to 3pm. At lion Hall. l y o n lion Hall honest this
lion Hall.
They had a lot of RSVPs like a lot. And I just don't do these
things generally speaking, get about 20 People 25 People sounds
about right for the low area because you know this is not a
national meetup. Right. But and I don't know that we have that
many people we don't I don't see donations. I know how many
donation we had today and from Washington DC none.
We know we often have one from one or two from Arlington. Maybe
from time to time, one from
Richmond, Virginia. Yeah, but that doesn't count. That's
Richmond's not a CIA area.
Well, here, let me sort check it out. So it'd be cool. Okay, how
do I sort of just right click and say sort? No, of course not.
You know, of course, though, that would be to make too much.
Fang. Thanks, Microsoft. I don't know how to do this data. I
mean, whereas we're sort
of remind you that we're gonna get, we're gonna scroll down and
you can maybe see well,
we had Faber. Faber, Virginia. That's one.
Is that anywhere near? That's the only one that I can see.
We haven't I thought we had another arm. Marilyn, where's
Maryland? We get no Maryland. Not
really. No. Fairfax Virginia?
No, that would count. Yeah, that definitely counts. Strausberg
Virginia. best show ever. I won't say who it is because $20
But yeah, down at the bottom, there's a few.
Okay, so what do we know? Well, we'll
see. Won't we wait because stuff in the ballot
box. I just say hey, Virginia, step it up. If there's so many
of them, and Canadians beaten Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Canadian beats Virginia. Usually every show. BC
and
Tina the keepers working on the Austin Texas meetup. It seems
consensus is Saturday. A lot of people will be flying in a lot
of people travel. But some people said oh, we really want
to be Friday. Then we have the whole weekend. Isn't Nana? Look,
it's just gonna be a few hours on Saturday. And we're thinking
maybe one of these cool beer. Places beer.
Do you call yet plenty of beer places in Austin? Yeah, beer
place. Yeah. Now the reason for doing Friday we're doing Friday
because there's two arguments that go on every time you want
to do Friday or Saturday. The Friday argument which I had in
Sacramento when I did it on Friday was hey, we're here with
Gary commute to work. We're in Sacramento, we're in the city we
can do Friday for Saturday. We got to come all the way from
home, which could be our drive away. And it's just not we're
not going to do it. But we're already here. We're in
Sacramento. We'll so Friday's the argument is people that are
they're gonna have to go home. And then Saturday. The problem
is I don't know what the promise is Saturday is that they don't
want to come in.
So we try both.
With Washington DC is that Saturday, Friday? I only have
the logically be Friday,
August 12. Let me just check on the calendar. August 12 is
Sunday. Ah, that's that's a very interesting, that's well,
Sunday. We wouldn't think of Sunday as a meet up day if we
were going to attend obviously.
No, we do a show on Sunday. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They said they
may be listening to the show as a group on Sunday.
Oh, okay. Nice. That'd be kind of cool. All right. Nice.
Okay. algos, algos and more algos die. Well, in this case.
It might actually be true. What is the largest commercial algo
you've ever heard of that is being sold as genius?
Yeah, one click buy on Amazon.
No, Watson, of course,
what Watson was designed to do was to give practicing
oncologists recommendations at the point of care to treat
patients who are in front of them. And according to IBM, at
least in its marketing, these recommendations were supposed to
be based on its analysis of real patient data. These internal
documents that we reviewed found, in fact that that was not
the case. The way the system was trained was hypothetical
scenarios and recommendations. Were being fed into it by
doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering, who were basically
inputting their own preferences for treatment. Doctors on the
other end of that who are using the system, we're finding that
the recommendations just were not very valuable or relevant in
the care of the patients.
In some cases, it looks like in your writing, they could have
been harmful one patient who was hemorrhaging who was bleeding.
Watson recommended a medication that you're not supposed to give
when somebody's bleeding. In some
cases, the recommendations that were put out through the system
were inaccurate, had no foundation and clinical
guidelines, and in some cases were found to be unsafe or
dangerous to patients.
Has anybody died from this or had a negative outcome from
Watson It's recommendations
that we know nobody has been harmed as a result of the
recommendations. Watson gives recommendations then they're
designed to be used in concert with incarceration who would
consider them and decide whether or not to put them in place for
a patient. So we don't have any evidence that as a result of any
of its recommendations, a physician has been led down the
wrong path and give a patient given a patient treatment that's
been harmful. But what's clear is that in the case of the use
of this technology, IBM is essentially experimenting with
it in real time the
algos algos on the algos. algos, the algo. The L dos algos?
I think our stock tip of the day is to short IBM.
Well, I wouldn't give a stock tip like that. Do other stuff.
But they do since the get go when they were on the Jeopardy.
Jeopardy show. And the reason it was it had all the answers true,
but it got them right. But it had the jump on the on hitting
the button. Yeah, of course it did. Of course. So you take the
answer. It's just ask the question, boom, they just the
incident button hit because there's no hand movement to go
down and slam the button. You don't there's nothing physical.
And so that was it. It should have been discounted.
Yeah, well, it wasn't. But now it's making very incorrect
recommendations. Yeah, that's good. And to have your flagship
product consumer facing flagship product to be labeled as
experimenting in real time with people's health. I don't think
that's a good look. To
say the least. Okay,
that's why I'm, well, they
lied to us then. Because they didn't do to just have one bunch
of guys from Sloan Kettering. I have the story. I think that may
be something to watch. Okay. Now this is no, we had the dog we
know about the dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs. You mean dogs being people
too? Yeah. And dogs being everywhere in too many dogs.
There's dogs everywhere. It's unbelievable. The dog walking
the whole thing. This is a very strange story. This is the weird
saliva disease.
When he gets out. Greg man Taifa wants to drive his motorcycle
again. His wife Dawn is hopeful prosthetic technology can make
that possible
little things in life. It's like you take for granted I guess in
late June, what
appeared to be a simple flu turned into something much more
frightening.
He just exploded into bruises and swelling. And he just became
worse.
Doctors told them Greg was having complications from an
infection later discovered to have come from a bacteria found
in dog saliva. We
counted about eight dogs that he probably came across. He doesn't
want anybody to think he doesn't love dogs anymore. He loves his
dog. He wants to see his dog. I mean, because it's not the dog's
fault. It was just some crazy thing that happened
now without both legs, both hands and surgeries still
ongoing. Dawn says the man she loves is battling back with an
unflagging
spirit. Yeah, what is the story here? I read this
dog licks the guy by birdie lick him in the nose and a new cut
and we don't know. But he got licked the next thing he knows
he loses both arms and both legs.
Sorry I'm laughing the
only thing I can think of that would cause this and all the
bruising all the rest of it really does sound like leprosy.
But that was extreme case then how long did it take before he
was the LEC between the LEC and the chop.
Well they don't be explained that they don't explain why it
wasn't stopped they don't explain why it wasn't given
antibiotics immediately. They didn't explain anything in the
story except the dog lick the guy they lost his arms and legs
and and it would sounds like leprosy now it's possible that
dogs carry leprosy
or good meme Hmm Maybe it's time for some vaccinations for our
dogs that there's a market
as big market huge as the cat lobby I'm not sure what that
lobby
you know I don't have to bring it I'm sure there is one I'm
sure there is a lobby for cats.
Anyway this is we have to keep tabs on this because this is not
going to destroy is not going away.
I I'm liking the the vaccination angle.
I think I'm not going to argue it because the vaccination if
they figure out what it is, yeah, dogs Yeah, it then then
it's just a scam. And there's the word.
Dame Tonya vai Countess of New York City sent us a personal dog
note. No agenda memes keep popping up. I realize because
you guys spot these things a mile away. This past weekend I
went to the wedding of a millennial couple and their dog
walked down the aisle with the groom and both of his parents
and was part of the wedding party. It was a dog themed
reception with each table named after the couples friends dogs.
Oh my god. Dogs
that jingle apparently triggers dogs worldwide whenever we play
it.
It's probably because of the barking. Yeah, thank you all
right, here's another one. This is uh, this kind of a sad story.
But this is like the naive. I don't know what I really don't
want to say anything bad about the story about these people but
anything. I mean, I think they you know, it was probably a
great idea at the time. Sounds like good idea and everybody
appreciated it. But this is the American bikers who are killed
and just Tajikistan.
ISIS has been decimated, but it is still active not only in Iraq
and Syria but farther east in Central Asia, where the Group
says it killed an American couple that was bike riding
around the world. Here's chip read
a little more than a year ago, Jane Austen and Lauren Gagan
gave up their comfortable office jobs in Washington DC he with
the federal government she with Georgetown University for the
adventure of a lifetime traveling the world by bicycle
on their website simply cycling. They chronicle their adventures
as they pedaled 1000s of miles through Africa, Europe and
Central Asia. Austin road have bumpy roads, strong headwinds
and tough challenges, but also have the freedom to see some
amazing places, meet some wonderful people and spend lots
and lots of time with a really lovely girl. The dream for the
29 year old couple ended suddenly Sunday in Tajikistan
near the border with Afghanistan when they and two European
cyclists were killed by suspected terrorists who ran
into them with a car then attacked them with knives. Three
other Europeans in the group were injured. ISIS whose
membership has been growing in recent years and predominantly
Muslim. Tajikistan claimed responsibility for the attack
Tajik authorities say police tracked down the five suspects
and killed four of them. Yeah,
this has been filmed apparently, although I haven't seen the
video. Well, they hit they hit the bikers first and then they
got out of the car and started stabbing him.
Yeah, that's messed up. And I'm thinking you know, by cycling in
the wine country of France through you know, the or down
the Rhone Valley is one thing, but by bicycling Tajikistan in
Tajikistan or anything you know, this like this is just I don't
know, maybe it's I'm just conservative or but it just
seems like it doesn't seem safe. No. And it's not. No.
It's a It's sad that the whole story is sad, but it's also
confusing. I'd like to know why. Well, what's the point? Why did
they do this? Did ISIS claim it? And yeah,
we can ISIS they're just story goes on. I just did claim it.
Did they say why?
No doubt did because,
I mean, what's what was when is Tajikistan? Because I don't know
maybe there's your future right there. It started off with a
podcast about hating bicycles. And before you know it, they
were mowing them down in the streets
I've got a nother another one of these stories of voter ID
stories present this the voter ID story as presented by CBS.
Yeah, I don't know how
much of a story this is.
President Trump says he wants to require
Well, yes, it's just immigration blather, right?
No, this is the because Trump said okay, there's a big follow
about
him saying you need you need an ID to buy groceries. Yeah,
even though it was very vague. Anyway, he's just she's just
talking to one of his audiences. One of the big you know, rallies
where he just says all kinds of stuff. And so they everyone
jumped on it like he's an idiot.
All right, President Trump says he wants to require all voters
to show a photo ID when they go to the polls. The President was
in Tampa, Florida last night for a rally ahead of the state's
primary this month. Mr. Trump pushed for voter ID by making an
erode erroneous comparison with grocery shopping.
You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need
a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want to
buy anything you need ID and you need your picture.
A photo ID is only required for buying certain items such as
alcohol, cigarettes and certain medications. With more on the
president's remarks, we want to bring in CBS News White House
correspondent Weijia Jiang Hi, we just you know critics argue
vo voter ID laws disproportionately affect
minorities and poor populations. Is that a concern for the
President? Or is all of this just playing to his base?
Well, that is not a concern. That is a concern that critics
have. When the President continues to bring up this
issue, which is not new for him. In fact, he adopted this line of
attack on the campaign trail. And he claimed that three to 5
million people voted illegally in the 2016 election, and he
made those claims without any evidence, and to this day, has
yet to provide it. But critics say In fact, when you look at
different studies that have been made, in fact, one from the NYU
Law school that really examined the number of fraud cases during
the election, it was 35. Oh, please,
what was this, you're telling me in the entire US election are
35. And that's it, you're the prop.
The problem is that there is no verification when you register.
That's that's really where the problem begins. There is no
centralized database. And there's a whole bunch of reasons
for that. There's there's no verification. When you say, Yes,
I'll I of course, I'll register. And in fact, the motor voter
registration drive college kids pushing at schools, I just
register, yeah, but I'm not a citizen, just register anyway.
And then you get signed up, you go, they say, You're a
registered, you're good to go. There's no check anywhere. So I
think that's I don't understand why we're all about this ID, ID,
ID, let's just do that, with the registration process. You've got
that's where I think it would be best solved, is make sure that
that's when you have to prove your citizenship. And that can
be done in a number of ways. And then you can show up with no ID
by guess, which is the case. Not exactly the case. But it's gonna
be the case kind of that I think that's where the problem is.
That's definitely one of the problems.
I have a I just wanted people voting
is another one. And I'm sure there's more than 35.
To me, it's shocking that the registration process has no
verification. I mean, it makes no sense. It doesn't seem like
it'd be really hard to, to cross reference that, then I don't and
you don't need to know what party someone's registered as if
you registered. Okay, check. Done. That's it. And then you
cross reference with the dead file. I mean, there's a master
file for that two of dead people. And what how can this be
so hard? And the answer is, there's a lot of people who
don't want it. And I think that's probably because of the
illegal votes or votes, illegal votes or votes to
download, think it behooves anybody.
And if if you had to go through too much rigmarole, there's just
less people going to actually, it seems like a great idea for
politicians. Don't they want less people turning out? The
fewer the better?
Depends on depends. Depends. Some people want a lot of fake
votes. If I'm running and I can get all the fake votes. Hey,
yeah, I'm all for it. Good to go. Voter Registration. No, not
let's just vote. Vote me in.
final clip for me is I have some I want to provide some feedback,
since I understand these situations. And this guy needs
to shut up and stop over drama, dramatizing his life. This is
Jim Acosta.
Oh, geez, what is with this guy?
That we probably all saw the video of him on his little
podium there at the Trump rally and people surrounding him
saying CNN sucks. Yeah, it's good. Just from your, from your
observation. Did that seem like a lynch mob to you an angry mob
or didn't seem like people who were just having a good time
saying that you suck.
I think it was people having a good time saying you suck. Yeah,
it was a lynch mob. The guy had been knocked down.
Exactly
has become one of the President's favorite human
punching bags. CNN CHIEF White House correspondent Jim Acosta,
Jim, we've seen your videos and I've I've been to these events
to I've met with countless Trump supporters. Even I was shocked
at the level of vitriol that was aimed your way last night give
us an idea of what it felt like to be in the middle of it? Well,
I mean, honestly, it felt like we weren't in America anymore. I
don't know how to put it any more plainly than that Americans
should not be treating their fellow Americans in this way.
But unfortunately, what we've seen and this has been building
for some time since the campaign I've been I've been talking
about this as an issue since the campaign when the president
during the campaign referred to us as the dishonest media that
disgusting news media liar scum and thieves and so on. And then
he rolled that right into the office and started calling us
fake news and the enemy of the people. He is whipping these
cars crowds up into a frenzy to the point where they really want
to come after us. And we, you know, we have these, these bike
rack like barriers around the press cage, as we call it, to
protect us, essentially, from people who might take things too
far. It's unfortunate because and I tried to calmly talk to a
lot of these folks at the rally last night to say, listen, hey,
you know, tell me what you want to talk about here. Why are you
guys so upset with us? And they would kind of go through a list
of questions. Most of most of the questions were about why
don't you guys report positive news about the President and I
said, Hey, you know what we do that we were reporting on this
positive job numbers in the economy last Friday. And, Mike,
my sense of it SE is that, that these opinions that these folks
have at these rallies, they're shaped by what they see in the
primetime hours of Fox News, and what they hear from some
conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this
daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things that we do
over here at CNN. It's very unfortunate, but it's it's a
pitting of American against American, and honestly, it needs
to stop.
Okay, Jim Acosta, you're a whiny little bitch. Man. I've been in
this situation you want you to you know, it's you scared you
scared little man. People calling sucks. CNN sucks. Did
you really feel scared? Try MTV spring break. Okay, stand up in
the middle of spring break and have people go. Metallic, I knew
it was a sport to throw beer on my hair to get it to go flat. It
was a fucking sport during spring break. You have any video
of that doll? There's tons of it, the Budweiser boat. I'm
flatlining on my hair like Mona Lisa. And I had some hair back
in the day. Oh, yeah. This is what happens when it doesn't
matter. Come on. Did you stand up?
Realize this was going on? Man. It's American against
Americans need to stop doing that, bro. It's really horrible.
That's what you should have said you should have gotten on the
mic and said exactly what it cost us. That would go
hey, don't do that. Americans against Americans. You got to
stop it. And you know what the response would be?
I know exactly. The Kansas. Yeah. I mean beer.
They've had so much beer thrown on me. Is what happens is when
it's when people are all jacked up. It's like get used to it.
Ah, there's drama. There's drama. It's What a douche.
A good cost is not very good. But he is good at complaining.
is good. Yeah. And framing complaining and framing.
Here framing. I do have
the dignity. This is a funny story. This is in Philadelphia.
One of the he had just played this the dignity safety glass
just clip which has gotten everybody all bent out of shape
for pretty good reason.
Reversal. Bell is currently working its way through city
hall designed to regulate stop and go liquor stores. Now one
part of the bill would force business owners to take down
bulletproof glass inside their stores. Here's the question at
what cost of their safety. Fox 29 As Jeff calls live at City
Hall, yeah.
Lucy that is exactly the question in a city that
struggles with gun violence.
There is a bill going through city hall here that would take
down some of the Plexiglas now merchants say this is a question
of safety a city council woman says No it's dignity for
constituents
why they explain this to me what's going on here?
Okay, we're in the inner city that worst part of a city the
inner city with his which is just you know, poor people and
then a liquor store where they're selling probably
shouldn't even be there selling liquor to people who shouldn't
be drinking and it's like and they get robbed all the time to
constantly getting robbed and these are Korean stores. The
only people that will serve this community are Koreans. And they
built they build it like a slight fortress so you go in
there's been you know, you can't shoot the guy and steal his
money you can't get it you can't get past all these you know this
plexiglass and they ask for a bottle of booze does that mean
you get gets delivered through a hole and so so you can't go in
and rob the place because the before the plexiglass was put
up, they got robbed all the time and people get killed. And these
some of these apps can see it all the time. Like New York taxi
cabs have a hole. So you put Yes, exactly. So they put it
picks Plexiglas up and serve this community. And this woman
who's a black woman who is now being accused of being racist
against the Koreans, which is a reasonable argument, but in vet
but not probably not the real reason she makes this claim that
is, it's it's an insult to the people who shop there. And it's
fun to their dignity and these this stuff should come down ah
is the kind of dummies that run these cities nowadays a racist
Plexiglas I like it yeah outrage that's what it's all about. Get
your outrage attention which is pretty funny.
Yeah well, outrage does wonders and that is our program for
today. The queue vision will return on Sunday. You never know
