Wake the Neighbors quick.
Adam curry Jhansi divorce August 19 2018.
This is your award winning Gitmo nation media assassination
episode 1061. This is no agenda. Racking canine hates and
broadcasting live from the Capitol the drone Star state
here in downtown Austin Tanenhaus in the video in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it turns out that
Trump is not the leader of the free world. I'm John C to kill
you see, you can't do that. It was perfect for I'm John C.
Dvorak. Don't go. The breaking the whole thing that you're the
true leader of the free world we get it. Or they lock on your
door already.
coming in and coming to get me yo, hey, I'm gonna take me away.
Ah ha,
ha ha. Hey, who was that again? That was the coming to take me
away. Hee hee. Ha ha ha. Oh, to the funny farm. Was like, just
beautiful all the time. Was that banjo dog doo da man.
Oh, no, it's on the tip of my tongue is. Oh, hee hee ha. It's
like,
okay, someone in the chat room will know. Well, we
don't have a chat room. We have a troll wriggle room. Dr.
Demento
troll room will know
how it was Napoleon about Napoleon something or other?
That's right, Napoleon. Okay. Why even do that when we have
important things to discuss. John, I need you to look at the
trunk rotation. Today, the trunk rotation have in front
of me now.
I cannot recall. Do we have a dog hater? On the list? Nope.
I'm sure of it. Dog hater should be added to the list and I think
I can prove it.
Okay, hold on a second. Let me get a pen. Yeah, you
do need to write this down. That's interesting. We should
have caught this one much earlier. But there is an issue
with dogs. As you know, the president likes to call people
dog for a number of reasons he does. Brian Williams felt it was
time to investigate if the president paints dogs. Is this
president really physically not like dogs?
That's right, Brian. He's actually the first president in
more than 100 years who has not had a dog as a pet in the White
House. He has lived with a dog before when he first got married
to his first wife Ivana. She brought with her a poodle. He
resisted the dog. He didn't want to have anything to do with the
poodle. But she said the poodles coming along Chappies coming
along. Turns out Chappie didn't like Trump very much, because
whenever Trump would come near Ivana, his closet Chappie would
bark at him. territorially. Ivana writes about this. In her
memoir that came out a few months ago,
we launched an extensive web search that took us at least a
few minutes and we could only find one.
Don't you love that. I know he's making fun of himself, but it's
just kind of it's so beautiful to hear him say we did some
extensive research a two minute web search tomorrow
that came out a few months ago,
we launched an extensive web search that took us at least a
few minutes and we could only find one photo excellent and all
the land of Donald Trump with a DOS but
it's deadly serious what he does with that word, using NSN
attack, he's dehumanizing his enemies that's ah, and there's a
long history actually of authoritarian leaders who have
used these animal animalistic slurs as insults to dehumanize
individuals or groups of people. We remember in during the
Holocaust, the Nazis would call to rally.
There we go, Hey, good, good work. It only took him a minute
to get to Hitler.
Really fast now. They get it down.
Now this is just a lead in to the real accusations about Trump
misusing dogs, not just hating them in general, and I don't
know if a poodle is dog by the way. But comparing people he
hates to dogs, Al Sharpton has details.
barking like a dog. Keeps yoke like a dog show like a dog show
like a dog.
We've seen you employ people expect unwavering loyalty, teach
them tricks and give them treats for a job well done. Like oh,
six figures worth the hush money to silence an alleged affair for
example. But the moment they deviate from their good
behavior, and failed to fetch, you publicly condemned them on
Twitter with animalistic slurs. Steve Bannon was quote, dumped
like a dog. You tweeted after he was fired Sally Yates You said
she choked like a dog during our Senate testimony on the Russia
investigation. And now amorosa that doesn't include all those
outside you're all but you've hit with a K nine cut down like
when you refer to black NFL players. as sons of well, female
dogs, but I think you might have learned a lesson this week and
wait for John pay attention sometime that dog bites back
with a book deal. And while we're talking about female
canines, you know what they say about pay back? It's a real well
you I'm sure you know the word I'm thinking of. So in the words
of my late friend Aretha Franklin show some are ESP I see
T
MSNBC everybody Hitman Al Sharpton spells respect rvsp
eyes
to start off the show with Clip of the Day I mean what am I good
nothing good stop that clip
show some r e s p i c t
from this morning show my everything blew up here around
quarter to 11 Everyone's sending me this clip. Thank you by the
way, everybody. Ah Wow. All right. Yes, P ICT
goes through this whole rigmarole as well obviously
written for him so as smooth as silk. Got a lot of one liners, a
lot of good material. And then he finishes his he punches his
punches out with that on believable. What an incompetent
bonehead. Why does MSNBC pay this guy? Oh, much money to be
on that? You know, unless he's got?
My I know, I know. Let me tell you this. He's been in the news
quite a bit, actually. And I think it's well, twofold. One,
as we know, he's a hitman. We learned this on the last show.
So you don't mess with the hitman. In fact, this was hot.
This was on MSNBC the last step before witness protection is
always a visit with Reverend Al Yeah, that's right class before
witness protection is always a visit route. With Reverend now.
Now, Reverend now having worked for the FBI being an informant
guess what he
has since 83?
What does he have? Clearance? This is why owl is still around.
This is this without us really realizing it. The Swamp has been
exposed at least a big big scummy pond part of it. Which is
this clearances business. Oh, yeah. And here is this are this
is this is great. Let me just let me just play this Sharpton
before we get into it. And this
is what makes it so scary to me. Because that effect of saying I
can't afford environment intelligence. If I want to do
something later in my career, I can't afford to speak my mind.
Even in private. I could have this against me. And that is
where we're going toward a almost totalitarian type of
state. squawking slowly there, but headed that way, when people
are afraid for political reasons, to exercise their
freedom of speech now that that is the threat here to me.
I think that is invalid threat. And from an intelligence
perspective, and especially at the CIA professional outside of
their work, they should be able to publicly when they have left
the agency as I have talked about their own opinions and
quite often informed opinions and I think that adding to the
public debate is what is so important. So
we were half right or at least partially right? That taking
away someone's to clear the security clearance in Washington
DC is extremely funny because a million and a half people have
top secret clearance already. almost 5 million have some sort
of clearance across the USA. So when you don't have clearance,
you are truly in DC a loser. And so, you know, I've dealt I think
I've told the story many times. Again, we're some distant niece
in the family. We're all sitting around big family reunion. She's
talking to him. I asked her something says, Yeah, I can't
talk to you about that because you have no clearance. This is
how it works. You got a spy job. You get clearance you can talk
to people. That's what it is. Now all of a sudden it's like
been my first amendment right has been taken away because I
don't have any clearance. You still can't talk to people. You
know, the problem is you're not as valuable anymore. You have
zero value to MSNBC. If you're John Brennan and you don't have
security clearance, you have no value and they are freaking out
over this, too. People who are freaking out the loudest clearly
have the most business to lose. Because the background or little
m five M freak out over this whole ordeal.
This is a dictatorial exercise of power that should frighten
and call on all Republicans to say, Mr. President, you cannot
do this you are trying to inhibit the Free Speech of
people who may be in opposition.
We have to make sure everybody's clear on one thing as we're
doing this, in the free speech is not impinged in any way by
security, security clearance removal. You have all the free
speech in the world. Did you do associate to to it was that what
you're trying to do is bullcrap. Because you do not do your free
speech, your enjoyment of free speech for the first amendment
rights has not changed
at all.
So don't do these guys who keep doing this is all my they're
impinging on my freeze by rise of free speech? No, they're not.
They're taking your security clearance away, usually for what
I would call insubordination. Yeah, okay, let's go back.
Sorry.
Yeah. And just explain why this is not taking away their free
speech.
Because of it, because he's gotten the security clearance
has nothing to do with free speech. They can talk all they
want. In fact, they could probably talk even more, but
even though I think not, in terms of what they can say, in
fact, the security clearance seems to me to impinge for each
speak. Yes,
exactly. Thank you. That's exactly what's the security
clearances do means you can't talk about this. That is the
literal definition of restriction, free speech. But
it's not that it's an agreement. Yeah. But okay. The, again, all
of these reasons that they're throwing up, and just they're
just the they are throwing up, it's because their livelihood
has been threatened. And this has been exposed in the coming
up with all kinds of reasons to say that this is
unconstitutional and can't happen and we need laws to stop
the president from doing this. In the meantime, every douche
Naco we see on television has security clearance, including
many of the presenters, Al Sharpton, Anderson Cooper, we
know that for sure. So to remove this removes their livelihood
and to me, it's like,
wow, that actually doesn't remove their livelihood
in DC media circles. It sure does. Well, they're of no value.
They're of no value.
It shouldn't be that way. When I'm saying Anderson Cooper, I
should be seeing a guy, a news presenter who is objective and
is just reporting on the news. I shouldn't be watching some spook
trying to trick me
what do you what do you think sources our sources are people
with clearance? That's what this is all about more am 5am
freakout the Free
Speech of people who may be in opposition to you
to use this kind of punishment to chill speech is a violation
of the First Amendment.
I mean, this is a striking move towards authoritarianism. You
know, this is what dictators do, they shut down the press and
shut down dissent. They jail their opponents, or in this case
they they steal their security clearance deal happens deal was
a pure authoritarian
act from an intemperate president who wanted to punish
one of his critics. Nothing more. Nothing less.
threatening him right now. But what he said away from from
John, doesn't that say to everybody else shut your mouth.
Don't go crazy. It was really a while
ago what I got to throw this within. This is just security.
You know a guy.
I'm leading up to that. I know exactly what I got the clip
already lined up. Okay, good. Yeah, of course. That's my final
one. Because it's the best one ever. But first,
the best one ever? Oh,
yes, it is. I think I think it's the best one ever. Or at least
up to date. We'll be we'll see more. First, we need to go to
NPR, the serious news outfit who still have some respect
somewhere? My favorite show, NPR this week, which always has that
Jumoke in there. What's his name? Again? Doesn't matter.
Jack Beatty. Is this. A Redux of the Richard Nixon enemies last?
Oh, it's an enemies list?
Well as John Dean, who was one of the people involved in
putting together the enemies list for President Nixon, as he
said last night on CNN, this is a step beyond the enemies list.
He said President Nixon didn't do anything based on the enemies
list. It was it was out there as a sort of target of opportunity
and of presidential peak the President has acted on it. And
as John McLaughlin, former CIA director said yesterday, we've
seen this show before we've seen it you In authoritarian regimes
and petty dictatorships, where leaders use the power of
government to punish their political enemies. And of
course, the great threat of the Trump presidency is that that's
how we're going to end up in a kind of Trumpian authoritarian
dictatorship and
Trumpian. It's now it's just a whole new category like he this
is
a kind of early warning early on, that is a possibility. The
President, this is a breaking of a norm goes well beyond anything
that any President has done.
Yes, because having your credentials, and certainly your
security credentials, which I think is just a part of it, you
leave and no one ever gets the credentials revoked, apparently.
Hey, Paul Manafort. What do you think? Did he have security
clearance? He may very well have had it. Every lobbyist, and
what's what you do, you're in government, and then you're
done, you go out and you join a lobbying firm, where that's
where you can really make your money by influencing the
government. This is this is the definition of the swamp.
Let's back up a couple of shows. When you when you first expose
the fact that are surmised, or I think deconstructed correctly,
the fact that Peter struck, and his least mage, yeah, we're out
to they were part of a conspiracy to overthrow the
government. Yes. And, of course, he was just fired on on Monday,
and gone for good. And he'll probably have trouble getting
work in the government again, they should have his security
clearance pulled. And, and the article that was nobody, you
know, we talked about all these guys bitching and moaning, but
we don't talk about one of the old hacks of the CIA. That is
pretty objective. Never like Trump doesn't like Trump, but he
Ray McGovern, which I linked to his article in the last
newsletter, and people should click on that and read this
article. But government says that Brennan was a conspirator,
a ringleader of a number of CIA people that who was who was Ray
McGovern. Again, Ray McGovern is an ex CIA analyst. We've had him
who had clips from over the years, quite a few actually.
He's an ex CIA analyst, and pretty much a on the side of,
you know, he sees a shadow government for what it is, and
then a lot of views, the government is correct, corrupt
mechanism in different ways. But this is person he doesn't like
Trump. But he thinks that this all is has to do with Brennan
being a conspirator. And he should have had his clearance
pulled, according to McGovern. And the way I see it says that
McGovern wrote that piece. These guys who have signed up people
who are active CIA members who have signed a petition, that
Mike Morel,
yes. Oregon orchestrated
should all have their clearances pulled and if anybody's working
for the agency, I think they should all be fired. Yes,
they're all They're, they're all talking about traitorous
actions. This is insubordination of the highest order if you're
actually working. I think it's insubordination on all levels.
And that's kind of what McGovern's thinking, I think,
and what ends guys who signed off on Morales document. I think
there's There also should be probably let go invest being
stupid. The dumbest thing to do is just lay low packable
offense.
I agree. Well, the the media's problem, the M, five M on all
sides, I would say their problem is that there are official
spokes holes and we've been tracking them since the first
day this show began he is a former admiral of this or that a
CIA guy this all x and of course, they're all coming from
the from the pickle factory and they're all read in. That's the
problem. They can't be read into the official story from well,
let's just call it the deep state to make it easy. That's
the problem. Hey, man, I got some bullshit that we're pushing
out there. Here it is. That no longer can be said technically.
Yeah, I agree with that. Now, I do have one clip that you don't
have, I'm sure, which is another one of these roundup clips from
CBS trying to be objective. But curiously, they can't be that
objective because they keep being bringing in Brennan who
works for NBC as their analyst you know, they don't have their
own guy here. Although morale morale. Yeah, he's, he's not in
this
clip. Now. There are plans to cancel the clearances for other
officials. The President is facing mounting criticism from
the intelligence community for this unprecedented action
after Brennan's clearance was revoked this week. More than a
dozen high ranking former intelligence officials have come
to his defense. Mr. Trump is spending the weekend at his New
Jersey Golf Course. Errol Barnett is traveling with the
president Errol. Good morning.
Good morning, the White House has drafted additional documents
revoking the security clearances of current and former
intelligence officials. This is according to The Washington
Post, and apparently President Trump is ready to sign them. And
this comes as more than 70 former intelligence officials go
public with their displeasure with the commander in chief.
The fact that he's using a security clearance of a former
CIA director as a pawn in his public relations strategy, I
think is just so reflective of somebody who quite frankly,
don't want to use this term maybe but he's drunk on power
for the
CIA Director John Brennan speaking out against President
Trump for revoking his security clearance. retaliation, he says
for criticism of the President's policy. I mean,
seriously, who's drunk on power? If you're that pissed off about,
you know, security clearance, that I guess does it make any
difference or not, but
you can't be the ex CIA director and come out and after a meeting
with Putin say that the President's a traitor.
I didn't say that he said treasonous action treasonous
act. But it comes down to the same poking
his security clearance. retaliation, he says, for
criticism of the President's policies and character. Like
this tweet from July when Brennan called Trump's
performance at a press conference with Russian leader
Vladimir Putin quote, nothing short of treasonous.
I think this is just another example of Mr. Trump trying to
frighten intimidate others. But I can tell you these are not the
type of people who are going to be bullied or intimidated by
someone with the likes of Mr. Trump. There's no silence If
anything, I'm giving him a bigger voice. Speaking to
reporters while leaving the White House Friday, President
Trump was asked if a current Department of Justice official
should lose his clearance as some conservatives are
suggesting I think, is a disgrace. I suspect I'll be
taking it away very quickly. In protest 15. Former top
intelligence officials from both Democratic and Republican
administrations went on the record with their displeasure
with the President's actions, saying Mr. Trump's motives of
quote everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech.
They are joined by 60 lower ranking former CIA officers who
also signed a letter supporting Brennan and warning that Mr.
Trump is threatening the security of the country.
Brennan was on Rachael show for about an hour. I think I didn't
have time to listen to it all but I did I don't have the clip.
But I did read that he backpedaled on the law. Yeah, it
was obvious what I meant. You know, I didn't really mean it.
Literally. That kind of stuff.
Oh, no, he backpedal on the treason thing. Yeah. Yeah, no.
Well, what someone do well, because there's a problem. Why
would he do that? This guy is brazenly arrogant. Now, here's
another guy something. This guy this is the guy that everyone
believes to be a Muslim. He swore his will he just he
converted while in Saudi Arabia, the station there the station
chief. And I know a lot. There's also a lot of records of his
he's really didn't do a lot of very good job in his job, it
seems. But he became a Muslim, if he's going to become a Muslim
in Saudi Arabia is going to become a Wahhabist, a Salafist
and so you go to Snopes and look this up, and they say
unverified. They can't say yes, they can't say true or false.
And I've started thinking about this. Has anybody just on NBC
and just ask them ask him? And why would they do that? Is it
that hard to do? Can is it like, oh, we can't do it because it's
like a violation of some moral moral edict.
Apparently, we've been out of the loop on this. Yes.
Apparently, this is a huge issue in in Washington, DC. And I
think it's pretty obvious why now.
Yeah, because he's a Wahhabist Muslim. And he's getting into
this guy as a troublemaker.
Now to Phil Mudd, former CIA operative, I think they call him
on CNN. He's the CNN guy. Phil Mudd or CIA's still has his
clearances, apparently. And this comes up in a conversation.
Thanks, Jim. scudo actually, with Paris, what's the guy's
name? There's
Dan and I think yeah, and black. He's a black conservative
and he calls it right off the bat and says hey, man, this is
kind of swampy that you know, you leave you got your
credentials. And you can go work for consulting companies, which
are numerous you can work for a lobbyist is all kinds of places
you can go and work with your security clearance, including
Phil Mudd is working on CNN. No one's ever heard of filma.
There's no real background, but he's on CNN. So we know who he
is. Why is ncnm because he has clearance. And when this comes
up, the video is even better than the audio he you can see
his head's actually expand a little bit. He's He's so angry,
I'm surprised didn't have a stroke. him.
He's a candidate. And he just he explodes on this and then lies
by well lies by deflecting I would say. He said, I never get
paid for consulting with the government and Paris keep saying
no, man, when you go to consulting companies, what
parents should have said is are you not being paid right here
right now, but I don't know why I didn't do that. Probably
because Paris is being paid. It's all a big swarming messy,
ugly swamp. And, and also, if you do consult for the
government, there is a $55,000 stipend. He may have refused
that. I don't know. But everyone kind of gets that offered.
What? Doubt it.
I doubt it, but just lied. Well, here he is.
A lot of these people that had the security clearances, and
this the secret and the swampy Washington DC, they have them
and they keep them because it's profitable for them after they
leave government. Because if you have a security clearance,
especially high level security clearances, your contracts and
your consulting give, pay you a lot more money because of the
access that you have. I hope the President continues to do this.
And I hope he adds Omarosa to the list, because if she has a
clearance, she too, because of her actions, should have it
revoked. Well, I
don't know if I put amorosa in the same category of the 75
people who signed those letters, but film but I imagine wanting
to react.
Profitable Paris, when I am requested to sit on advisory
board. Let me ask you one question. How much do you think
I'm paid to do that at the request of the US government?
Give me one answer and you got 10 seconds.
Now that is how the CIA runs. That whenever you when you when
you are getting your ass handed to you in the CIA? You got 10
seconds the LSI?
How much? I'll give out ask you a question. How much are you
paid for your answer the question act and get for being?
I have no contract with the US government that pay more I'm not
here and this is the US government. Let's be honest, do
you feel that? I'm not talking about your role with the federal
government? I'm talking about Joe Hazleton and a contractor
that consulting firms that they form and that you all get is
because you get more money when having a consult before before
having the security clinic doesn't have I have zero
consulting relationship with the US government zero not talking
fields. That's a good talking point. I'm not talking about
relationship with a government I'm talking about in the private
sector. When you have a security relationships with the private
sector that involved my security clearance
about what you're doing right now. You're on CNN zero,
I get $0 from consulting companies that deal with US
government are we clear?
Well, are we clear and saying that everybody in Washington DC
knows if you don't want to be honest about it that's on you.
But if you have a security clearance and you keep it you
can get out
get out of that box get off
couple of things besides telling the guy to get out. And by the
way, the host right then and there should stop him.
Okay, I have I have the bit where he where he kind of gets
in there.
It's kind of gets in there but you can't let one of the guests
Yes. Get out Get off this day. You
can if he has clearance in Washington DC No,
wait, here's the thing that got me there was a little tidbit in
there that just like the guy out of the blue Why would you do
this mud out of the blue says who are you talking about
General Hayden?
Yes, yes. Yes. Because he apparently has all kinds of
deals. Yeah, you know what, how about all the text TSA guys who
who set up the scanner come off Come on. And it's hundreds of
millions probably topping a billion dollars by this point
since they started with their L three systems. Come on. But
we're going to try and obfuscate it and the press who are so
adamant about their rights and press freedom and they need to
report on everything are just keeping silent. They are not
explaining at all how this works. But let's see so Can I
just finish 30 seconds to finish this?
No, no, no, I want you to stop that thought. Okay. The Press
you're gonna get this done. Don't worry. The press is in the
bag for the CIA.
Yes, no, not just CIA for all the intelligence
services but Mockingbird is the main the main player, CIA. I
mean, the NSA doesn't even come up in the car. recession. The
DEA doesn't even come up in the conversation. The press has been
infiltrated by the one agency mostly there's no NSA guys
working for The New York Times. Maybe there's one I doubt it
right. So they're just judges like these guys within the the
whole structure of the mainstream media or just, you
know, they're backing this guy idiots like just mud character
going they need it because that is their connection to the
messaging. And you're right. I love how you put that
mockingbird is the is the would you say is the premier primary
player? Yeah, yeah, it's
a primary player.
I like that mockingbird is the primary player that sounds
that's Yes, exactly it. And for those of you who think that's a
conspiracy theory, you should look it up from
consulting companies that deal with US government.
Are we clear?
Well, are we clear and saying that everybody in Washington DC
knows if you don't want to be honest about it that's on you.
But if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you
want money to get out? You're not gonna show signs. Now,
who does 25 series, Jason the surface, this is what I
get sensitive about this. But your voice is still here. You
can still do whatever you want with political isation of the
intelligence community under this administration, with the
people coming on here. Every day tweeting and talking about this
administration. You all have made it about politics. In the
press. Let's take a
beat here for a second. I appreciate your patience,
because I know it's getting it's getting personal here. Phil, I
appreciate your patience with the guys. You guys having a
hernia? Come on. Appreciate your patience, because you know, you
got to suck him off because all he's our connection to the to
the information. Shane, shameful, shameful, by the way.
I bet if I took a vote right now in our very own troll room, and
I said, who has some form of security clearance? Let me see
how many say yes, because I know there are people who have
security clearance. And it may not be top secret clans, but if
you're a contractor, there's dudes named Ben. There's all
dudettes named Bernadette there's so many so many people
who have some version of clearance. It we've laughed
about this for a long time I got to so far notch in our troll
room alone
because it's rampant. Yeah,
I actually come from a partial CIA family and have no clearance
I have anti clearance.
They put me in a different table at Thanksgiving. It's a form of
control thing is a form of
how about the definition of control almost
Yeah, could you sign away all these rights is talking about
this and that you can you lose a lot of free speech rights. This
is crazy to listen to this reverse argument by guys like
mud canal. No, it's that is a they know it's a scam. And
they've got to they would need their clearances so they can
talk to each other. It's like your experience with your niece,
or whoever it was. She can't even talk to you because you're
gonna have a clearance. Yeah. And she's following the rules.
And she probably is at some really good well paying job
right now. Yeah, not worrying about your next podcast. Any
collusion, just just say, oh, man, that's so I think this is
fantastic to watch anyone. It doesn't matter really what side
you're on of any political spectrum. You should not be
like, I mean, isn't when I grew up, and we learned about Russia,
Soviet Union, which was I think very little compared to what we
know today. That was one of the things everyone was a part of
the secret police they were all you know, in in collusion with
each other and they could pass on stuff and they would leak and
there was, you know, you would get you would get killed. It
turns out we have all these people have them all was when
you look at Mike Morel or John Brennan and you think yeah,
okay, class, Phil Mudd didn't even really think about it. Now.
I got to think about it all the time.
Well, then you have in fact, you're you're right next to one
of these jokers. Chancellor University of Texas at Austin X.
spook. Who is these nine execs. Bucha ex military? McRaven. I
have a clip.
Oh, he's at UT. Oh,
yeah. Didn't realize are leaders of the US national security
establishment or blasting President Trump's decision to
strip the ex CIA Director John Brennan of
Islam, the leaders of the national security establishment.
Were supposed to interpret what that means.
Well, this is Democracy Now. So they I mean, it's like what side
are you Where are these? These journals
journals? I'll remind you, it's shameful to call yourself a
journalist and I want this to go on. I am. Look, I'm just a VJ.
What do I
know are leaders of the US national security establishment
are blasting President Trump's decision to strip the ex CIA
Director John Brennan of a security clearance calling it a
clear attempt to stifle the free speech of the President's
critics. The letter was signed by six former CIA directors,
five former CIA deputy directors and a former director of
national intelligence. It came as the New York Times reported
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sought to
advance the security clearance story in order to change the
topic away from news reports about Trump's alleged use of a
racial slur. Meanwhile,
what is important, this issue of everyone running around with top
secret clearance or you know someone dog rather than
something dogs slur
the N word. Meanwhile, the former naval
Hold on a second let me hear this journalist just said that
one, away
from news reports about Trump's alleged use of a racial slur,
the N word Wow.
I'm not a shred of evidence in this and they're just using that
as a lead him.
Meanwhile, the former naval admiral who led the
assassination raid on Osama bin Laden wrote in an open letter he
would consider it an honor. If Trump would revoke his security
clearance. retired naval Admiral William McRaven, who led the US
Joint Special Operations Command under President Obama and now
serves as Chancellor of the University of Texas wrote,
quote, through your actions, you've embarrassed us in the
eyes of our children humiliated us on the world stage and worst
of all, divided us as a nation. If you think for a moment that
your McCarthy Era tactics will suppress the voices of
criticism. You are sadly mistaken. McRaven wrote,
yeah, and if you think we're going to allow the times of the
Church Committee to go unnoticed, you're severely
mistaken, sir. Oh, my goodness. Well, he's been in Austin, so
he's infected. Oh, well.
Well, they should he said it'd be an honor to have his security
clearance pulled. Pull it right away. I pull it immediately if
he's if he thinks it's a good thing. He's saying it's a good
thing. It's an honor seems like some Prince subordination to me,
this is all insubordination is ridiculous. Unbelievable.
And I'm still not convinced that Omarosa keeps kind of flowing
through this story, that she isn't on another Trump mission,
because remember the last time it was very convenient that she
said things in the Big Brother house that made pence look like
a raving lunatic compared to Trump. Right at the time when
people were talking about hey, you know, we get we impeach him
we get pence. That timing was uncannily coincidental. I'm
still not sure that she's not on a mission from Trump.
I've felt the same way.
I don't know exactly what yet, but come on. The risk she's
taking where she talked to record people in the White
House? I would be I I don't think I could even do that.
It would only be between her and Trump to nobody else would know
about this.
It's just insane. I mean, just think about it. I mean, you've
got to be really brazen, to Jews, that kind of stuff. Unless
it's under some kind of control or knowledge. Or maybe she's
just as crazy as possible. She's
I don't know. I mean, it's just it all turn up in the end one
way or the other. You're dead?
I'd like to find out earlier. I don't think we could find out.
Are you familiar with ASMR? By the way?
The acronym Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response? No, I got a
cut. Actually, not one but a couple of emails about this,
that we played the clip from Omarosa reading from her book.
And I think I joked about you know that she'd probably already
done the audio book because it was a very dramatic read. And it
was on NPR so they really had a great recording. You could hear
every every strand of spittle sticking in her mouth like that.
You could hear it. Apparently, a lot and I think we may have
touched on this months ago or
longer. Good valve Michael do
exactly. Apparently, there is a large group of millennials who
love to listen to recordings that are specifically meant for
the The ASMR audience this Autonomous Sensory Meridian
Response, which gives an experience CAG characterized as
a static light or tingling sensation on the skin that
typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the
neck and upper spine. It it's people say this is a version of
euphoria, subject subjective experience of low grade
euphoria.
Sounds like a standing wave to me.
Well, I have an example which is just some guy walking around
some 3d world in some exon game, which of course I have no idea
what this is. But you'll hear what this is apparently a really
good example of what people like and they listen to this in a
very high fidelity and it gets them off somehow just do this
you feeling it yet? No. Neither? Well, here's here's the 10
seconds of amorosa.
Here's some guy with it does kidneys clear his throat? I
think
it's part of it. Listen to Omarosa, which people responded
very positively to
on this phone conversation. I was told exactly what Donald
Trump said. Yes, the N word and others and the classic Trump
goes nuclear rant
I think we could get in this business
think is I think is a distinct possibility if you can talk a
little enough I know what you mean. It's very moist. I need to
be eating some fruit juicy crippling down my chin
people are freaking out. Stop all caps another business
opportunity. We got the gear and we do we got the gear we got the
talent. We just need some scripts. Scripts. I'm gonna I'm
gonna do this I'm gonna release an hour of me just doing that.
I think the bongos and workout in this kind of Yes.
I think the bond goes up. In fact, do you have any like we
need like, ah, you know the percussion where? You know kind
of you like a wind chime wind chimes we need wind chance
something similar. I get this and get your wind chimes out,
bro. Break it out. Oh, yes. And then from time to time we just
go here we go. We are good to go. And we throw in a rain stick
from time to time. It's going to be genius. Range. Genius.
Um, yeah.
Anyone know I never heard of whatever it is, you know, I
don't have any idea what you're doing. But anyway, it was the
thing. That's the thing. I didn't know either, but it's a
real thing. Let's see. We can go a number oh, directions.
Well, let me get wishes restoring these talk show. As
you like to put it in jabroni or Gemma has to play this clip
because this is a clip of his Michelle Goldberg, who somehow
got on Katie Tersh show. And Michelle Goldberg is a columnist
for the New York Times and she gets her story sometimes columns
above the fold on the front page.
what's your what's your background?
The University of California master's degree in journalism
from the Graduate School of Journalism at Cal Oh,
above the fold.
You got the credentials which
you're gonna hear her. There's a Katie has this woman come on and
she's just doing some normal discussion of of Trump in a
negative way. And then this Goldberg woman jumps in and make
some commentary. And then she's got some sidekick. I don't know
who this guy is. But he's sitting right next door and
there's a big gap between those two and a woman talking and it's
gonna start off with the woman talking but but I believe that
what we're about to hear because she hasn't been there long
enough. She doesn't know the rules of the New York Times. I
believe she's actually expressing because they brought
her on for a reason, in last year, just in last year, that
she is expressing the actual thought the the kind of the
thought the way the New York Times thinks about everything,
including this country, Trump and everything in between their
worldview. In other words, I believe the worldview is being
expressed. This is a New York Times columnist. And I think
she's a little out it's talking a little out of class, a lot of
whatever the phrase is school, out of school, should a lot of
school but she's, she's telling it like, Hey, okay, now I know
what the times is up to
it. But this again, this is the most vocal president at least in
real time that we've had in recent memory, right? He is the
leader of the free world.
No, he's not. You're not the leader of the free world.
But sorry, by default is the leader was pretty well,
Uncle America's leader of the free world.
But well, he he is the most important person in in the world
in politics right now. And he is very vocal. And I do agree with
you that this does express a level of exasperation among his
aides, that they can't have any control over your are.
Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry, your argument that is not the leader
of the free world, because he's not standing up for democracy or
standing up.
He's a sort of junior player in a block of authoritarian country
and
no, and then people like the European Union are no longer
looking at him as a leader any longer and I think he has
nothing.
Right. They see he's instead he's like, right? He's part of a
block that includes Vladimir Putin to tear Tay, he's, you
know, he's kind of part of a he's part of kind of an
accident.
Well, hold on that.
It's, it's worse than putting it in a certain way. I mean, not
that that's not the worst thing he could have said. It's about
the worst that could say about him. But
rounding people up and murdering, murdering them
without any, you know, to
process really liked to. Anyway,
I don't think you can say that definitively.
I do. Wow. This is an important clip. I think he I
think so too. He's a junior leader in a block of
authoritarian countries, including deutero. De and Putin.
What are we in a third or authoritarian country? By her
standards? Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Great. Because we're
part yes. If you're a globalist we are Yes. And that's what
Obama tried to make us. And I would say that her comment about
Katie throws in well, he's not rounding people up and shooting
him referring to the turkey. I think more than then Putin. And
the woman says, well, he's sure like to
the New York Times. Yes.
I think we heard
you know, screw I gotta give you this. First of all, it's an
important clip. It's a very important clip.
I think so I think we actually heard the, the mentality, the
editorial mentality of the New York Times and when they brought
that racist woman in who was you know, dates men. Yeah, Julie,
whatever, whatever name is, they, they would refuse to back
off on that. And I said, well, they have too much pride to back
up. No, I don't believe they have too much pride if they
would have backed off if they wanted to. They want this. This
is the New York Times, epitomized by this woman's
comments right here. They hate the country. Yeah, they hate
Trump. And and angular Merkel is the truly regular Merkel is the
leader of the free world.
She's Louise. Yeah, we're gonna see how well she
did it by the way. Matter of fact. Oh, he's not Lenovo,
Lenovo
Merkel's and let's see how well the leader of the free world
according to New York Times does when Erdogan releases 500,000 Or
a million refugees from Turkey to go flood Europe, Germany,
mainly Let's see how she does then leader of the free world
that was suggested to us by someone on email, and I thought
it was Chia forgot about that. Remember all those deals they
had to do the European Union. Hey, man, take them back. You
know, don't send them we'll send you money. billions of euros.
Yeah, please keep him keep him and now now his country's
melting down who knows what the crazy guy will do? Bank of
America will save you don't worry. It's all going to be
fine. Just look at the ground that will all go away. Very
good, John. Very good.
Yeah, I was very I just taken aback by it actually.
I can imagine I mean, this is this is the kind of thing you
should talk to your lip Joe friends about and say Hey, can
you just what exactly is going on with this?
I probably will. Although one of them is kind of cut himself off
from all political talk.
I put it out. Yeah,
I totally push it out. Cheese watch some of the other day. I
wanted to get some clarification on something that he should know
about and who you hire and I don't need to which is too
crazy. So I got nothing.
I'm, unfortunately, this type of thinking. And I want to add this
is just a background. It's just a chant clip, just the you
understand very quickly what's going on. This is from the DC
rally. And this is a video that's in the show notes, any
show notes.com. And it's, it's like a dude named Ben type guy,
long hair, you know, that kind of has the physique of a dude
named Dan, he's wearing a Trump 2020 t shirt, and he's
surrounded by the counter protesters. And that we've
determined that the word racist does not mean the same as the
end, it's okay, words can change meaning that racist if colorist
means you're actually against someone else from from a
different skin color, although it hasn't been used, it could
technically you could be a colorist against white people.
Although I haven't heard it technically used that way. But
it does seem the definition is open for that racist implies the
institutional racism of the white man mainly against all
other people.
Right? And discuss in that essay,
right. So the hate speech as we've learned in our civics
class, and I think they still teach it maybe not is still free
speech and is permissible under the Constitution under the First
Amendment.
I don't know who teaches that because when when the students
or others are grilled on it by a man on the street or by a survey
they think hate speech is not protected by the Constitution
generally I think the majority of people feel that way.
Well, it's very very very discouraging to me to hear this
because you know you and I grew up with I don't like what you
say but I will defend your right to
say it and Sticks and stones may break my bones
no no that we saw that change four years ago. Words hurt is
now just the phrase Hey, words hurt but this is me this is a DC
rally and not and I don't know if we'll play the whole thing
but not only do you hear that racist don't have the right to
free speech it's just not protected by the Constitution.
The crowd gets into it it's just it's discouraging to hear this
race and I
can't understand a word of it I think as worst clip ever.
You're welcome. Racist don't have the right to free speech in
chanting Yes. Racist don't have the right to free speech. So
this has gone a step further now.
Yeah, that is a step further that's a step in the wrong
direction. It's
very wrong direction. So white men don't have free speech is
the way I translated now. You don't have that right anymore.
Because you've been racist, your your kind has been racist. You
need to shut up. You don't have the right to free speech. Well,
that's what we
are witnessing when they evergreen takeover was going on.
And we're just pretty much telling the teachers to shut up.
Yeah, you have no right to speak to us.
But let's just talk about now and let's not talk about it. And
let's come back after our break and we'll do something on press
freedom because you know, the press believes they have all
kinds of rights, which I believe they actually don't have
with that, oh, no reverse things.
I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning
to you John. C stands for clearance is for pussies.
Devorah back
in the morning, you Mr. Adam curl. So in the morning all the
ships and sea boots on the ground feeding their subs in the
water for and all the days and nights out there.
Yes, in the morning to everybody in the troll room. No agenda
stream.com. Good to have you all here, as usual. been very
helpful this morning and that is highly appreciated. Also, I'd
like to say in the morning to Darren O'Neill, again. comes
back with an outstanding album art for episode 1060. The title
of that was Austin beatniks. 106 zero.no agenda notes.com.
And this was Alex Jones as Bart Simpson but it really was I
think he rendered a whole new drawing of Alex Jones with his
vitality boner pill drink and he was writing on the board, I will
not call people to arms on Twitter. Over and over again.
It's the classic iconic Bart Simpson, Blackboard pose. And we
couldn't find that this has been done anywhere. So
we I wanted to express the methodology we use when we pick
the art, at least an aspect of it. Yeah. Although we have been
tricked. But generally speaking, we don't like people to use, if
you're gonna use derivative art to have to change it enough. And
make it funny enough that it's okay, you can do it. But if they
provide something as just some somebody else's art unless it's
in the public domain, and just wrap something around it, like
the no agenda stuff, that we always have nothing to do with
no, it's not good enough. So when we see something that's so
outstanding, we immediately assume the worst. We assume
Where did you get this? Because he will tell you it's not
because we distrust the artists necessarily,
is to protect them as well. Because
what's also well besides protecting them, it's that when
you see something like this, you go, Oh, you say to yourself, how
did he get this done in this amount of time? Yeah, that's
something else similar. He done it just yet. Who knows? There's
no evidence that this was anything but original and and
then he added the cool little moniker for us.
Longtime podcast personality, Adam curry and Photo Merge on
season four. I gotta tell you, the the amount of requests for
that ISO clip is more than anything we've ever had. Oh, my
God. Love it.
It's a winner is a winner total winner.
Well, thank you very much. Darren is highly appreciated,
great work. It really makes a difference. When you see, we
have not been D platformed. yet. So you know. So we show up in in
iTunes and podcasts and all the other
way sets the picture of the dog with his paw to his hit side of
his head. Yeah, there's been four podcasts and none of them
on the Roku app. have none of the artworks have shown up since
that picture? Is anything been changed? I've
no, not that I'm aware of. Okay, no idea.
Because I was look because I go to the Roku app every so often
to see how the art looks. And because I wanted to see this
particular piece for sure. And it was it was just a white
blank.
Hmm, that's strange. I really don't know. Okay,
well, hopefully our Roku guy or gal
we have no idea who does a lot of the
stuff. We love it. Now he's contacted me before, okay, it's
a guy.
Let us thank some people. Yeah,
we can thank two people. Okay, for the great support we had on
this show. Apparently, nobody cared about the
calendar, our drone. Now it's kind of out of favor. Yeah,
it is. Oh, well. Well, that was a nice try. Yes, sir. Mark in
the Midwest comes in as the executive producer at $351.51.
And he has a red note, which means he's got some call outs in
here. Thanks for the hard work. I'd like to make this donation
on my fantastic son Michael's 32nd birthday. Make sure he's on
the list today, Sunday August 19. He's been a loyal listener
and contributor for years. He got me started on the no agenda
show a year or so ago and your insightful deconstruction of
today's news has given us many hours of constructive
conversation a couple of months ago, he made up a large donation
to Pete to complete his long awaited knighthood then promptly
gave it to me. I was so honored to have brought me to tears. How
could I? How could there be a prouder moment in a father's
life than receiving a gift like a membership to the coveted
roundtable? I know he continues to support this show with a
monthly donation but I wanted to bump up the total with an
executive producer contribution so he can soon join me at the
table. I guess we'll credit him with this. Yes, happy birthday
son your mother and I love you very much. On another note,
could you please call on my good friend and co worker Jeff Bruce
as a douchebag
Oh no. A douche knuckle. I'm stalling I don't know what's
going on. Why is it breaking? Here we are. There it is. was a
big douche.
He probably is on the 405 right now in the free Lane driving his
Tesla. Using free electricity listening to the free no agenda
show is a double douchebag hit him again. Listen to new dirt
reload. This stuff is not free. To find folks listening to this
show are paying You free loader. I know you're going to using the
free My immediate deconstruction your everyday conversation, it's
time to pay up. Just to make it interesting. If you get your
moldy money out and donate 100 bucks, I'll match it. Remember,
just a discussion of your lack of support could bring bad karma
to that Tesla. Doesn't take much to wake up the gremlins.
I'll have no part of this
part of shingles childhood common for Michael's upcoming
trip to Japan. Thank you for all you do you humble your humble
service? Servite. Sir Mark of the Midwest. You've
got karma. Wow, good. No, Sir Mark, thank
you know, if he's the four or five is not in the Midwest, so
I'm not sure what the reference is. But okay, let's move on.
That was our executive producer, Associate Executive producer is
Sir Patrick. He says I felt the need to donate after Thursday's
show where donations were plentiful. Sometimes there are
donation drops right after the big show's please shed light on
the biggest money scams of all time. What does that mean? I
don't know what he means. But he's right. Yeah, he got us he
snuck in with an Associate Executive Producer and could
have gotten executive producer because he's got the right idea
which is there are he's right. There are donation drop offs
after big shows. Please shed light on the biggest money scams
of all time question mark.
Quite sure to know
he'll he'll get in touch with us to eat to re inform us as to
what he's referring to.
We appreciate the donation obviously for your Associate
Executive Producer ship and I'll give you some karma for that.
You've got karma. And that is it. One exec one associate Exec.
But these are both very valid credits that you can put on your
LinkedIn again, go to LinkedIn and you'll see how many no
agenda producers are currently experiencing job fullness,
politically correct enough. Experiencing job fullness,
job fullness, yes, it
does seem to work and but also you're participating in our
value network. And that's what's really appreciated and you
people always seem to get something out of it. And usually
it's even more than they put in. So thank you very much. We'll be
thanking more people also a short list in our second half
$50 and above. And please remember we have a do we do have
another show which is coming up on Thursday, you can remember us
profusely@borg.org slash and so whether you're a douchebag or
not, doesn't matter, you still have valuable deconstruction you
can take out and propagate this
we go out for people in the mouth
Okey, dokey. Wait a sec, I have to press freedom, which is not a
thing. By the way. I think this is snuck in and we've identified
it. But we need to keep mentioning. The First Amendment
speaks of the freedom of speech, but also the freedom of the
press. So should we read it just the verbatim just to make it a
little more interesting as
well? You've done it before and nobody seems to remember.
Let's just make sure we do it right. Here we go. Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a
redress of grievances. So the government can make no law that
bridges the freedom of speech, what does a bridge mean?
Well, let's take let's do it by the definition shortcut, the
actual definition,
the actual the actual definition is to shorten or to curtail,
that's the legal definition is curtail it'd be curtailed
curtail. So that Congress may not curtail now it says curtail,
be fair by the freedom of speech, and they may not abridge
the freedom of the press. Now, let's understand that the
freedom of the press is it relates to freedom of speech.
And the way I think this has always been understood by the
Supreme Court who claims to be the highest authority is that
that means you can print whatever you want. Say whatever
you want, you can print whatever you want, you can that cannot
the government cannot stop that now. Can you be sued for libel?
And are there things that over the years we've agreed to that
are not okay? incitement to violence is the main ain't one?
Sure. It does not mean that the press is better than citizens
like myself or John C. Dvorak, they have more privileges. They
have nothing, nothing extra. Doesn't mean you get to, you
have the right to go in and be in the White House briefing room
doesn't mean any of that. But the press wants you to believe
it. And it's, it's discouraging. So here is actually a lot of
mistakes in this one. This is a CBC report from Scandinavia. And
this is regarding the hundreds of newspapers that all wrote
editorial board statements or op eds, about Trump calling the
fake news media, the enemy of the people. Now he did at one
point, say, the fake news media like CNN. So definitely he has
literally called CNN fake news media. Yes. So more than once,
so they have an actual grievance, I think, if anybody
does, but now I again, you know, so we come to the incitement
part of you know, if you're calling someone the enemy of the
people is that yeah, is hate speech that incites violence.
Yeah, that is something that could be discussed for a long
time. And that's really what the journalists are doing. Except
they keep changing it a little bit to the press. The free press
is the enemy of the people. The media is the enemy is the
people, the journalists are the enemy of the people. None of
that was ever said, they have done it. And they are creating a
very poor situation out of something that's already shit.
But look at the work you're delivering. So here's CBC of
just a lot of bad quotes in this.
Hundreds of newspapers across the United States are fighting
back against the US president today. dailies, weeklies,
national publications are all launching a coordinated
editorial campaign. Just even
those words you know, they're fighting back really, are they
fighting is are they the sort of? Is it a real fight? If we're
going to talk about words, let's really analyze them all standing
up for press freedom press headlines standing up for press
freedom, which is meaningless,
making the rounds. The move is in response to Donald Trump
calling the news media, the enemy of American people.
Oh, it's even better now in Canada? Navia. Wow, they've
added a word. No, no, not at that. It's the Americans the
news media. Yeah. is the enemy of the American PR can people
Yeah, but it's the it's not the fake news media. It is the news
media. So we've already we're already just misquoting at best
lying at worst.
One of the papers taking part in the call to action is the St.
Louis Post Dispatch in Missouri. Todd Roberson is the editorial
page editor and he says the President's barrage against the
media erodes public trust with journalists across the country,
when the public is told that the truth is fake, and fake. false
information is truth. It just creates chaos. People don't know
who to believe anymore.
It a guy's he fumbles it a little bit done the
race chaos, people riding around with their waving their arms and
running in circles. I mean, what are we talking about? Yeah,
hello. It's chaos. Remember, it's our favorite theme, chaos.
Chaos. We got to bring chaos back
across the country, when the public is told that the truth is
fake. And fake. false information is truth. It just
creates chaos. People don't know who to believe.
No kidding. We don't know who to believe. What do you think this
is all about anymore? For 10 years, we've been doing this
show no kidding. The people don't believe the news media
and, and democracy cannot function properly. In that kind
of a circumstance. Our main thrust is pretty much I noticed
from the other editorials that I was able to review. There are a
lot of them there. So it's hard to review them all. But but
there's a consistent thread throughout which is that when
you lose someone, any group of people place this label on them,
you target them for attack, and we all feel it's just a matter
of time default. Let
me see. So for instance, if you if you label someone literally
Hitler, and just as bad as the Nazis ripping children from
mother's arms, when you label someone like that, do you think
that could cause an issue? Do you think that if they really
truly were Nazis, that you know smart people, patriotic people
wouldn't go out and kill the Nazis? I guess that that logic
is lost on this
dick. People. Place this label on them too. You target them for
attack. And we all feel it's just a matter of time before
some vigilante somewhere, takes the law into his own hands and
discuss the enemy.
Yes. Yeah, that's,
that's the problem we have here. These guys don't seem to
recognize they're just worried about them their own skins.
Nobody knows who they are. I mean, you read any newspaper,
local newspapers about 30. Guys, you buy lines in there, you read
them. You know who these guys are? You've never seen them.
They're not on television.
Now, but they feel that they're heroic. That they
Oh, yeah, no, they really have a high regard for themselves.
And they don't they are no, according to the Constitution of
the United States of America, codified in 1789. You have no
extra right above me. I can do or
a church or a church. Guys in a crowd, shaking their fist, you
have
no extra right, none. Press Freedom. Here's some more
journos on NPR. Same topic.
I think that one thing is
you're gonna love this by the end, you've got to talk to your
journal friends about this one.
I think that one thing that people are finding some
difficulty, and I'm talking not, not the president, but the
public who has received this negatively is that they do see
these coordinated editorials as some sort of a either bias or be
attack on the President and I saw saw them as neither, just as
the President would stand up and strongly protect Article One of
the Constitution, because that's where the executive power is
derived from members of the press, that journalism as an
industry is the only trade that is expressly protected by the US
Constitution.
Wow. That to me is if they really believe this, that the
trade of journalism,
I actually subscribe to that too. Well,
I think it's horseshit the trade as an industry as an industry
you're you're protected by the Constitution. No, right. As an
industry, she says, Yeah,
I think so. I agree with that the
industry is protected by what differences the between your
industry and just people?
Well, that's protected by the Constitution to but the point
is, it The point is not that it's got any special protection,
it just so happens to be the only one mentioned in the
Constitution that's protected. But it's it's not. It's not a
person. It's not a church, it's not press, the press, the press
meaning bloggers?
Ah, okay. So, if I'm a blogger, I am then protected as a part of
the same industry.
I think so.
Okay. Let's go try that out. Should we go to the White House
briefing room? See how we do? I'm a podcaster. My industry is
protected under the First Amendment. The podcast industry?
I think so. Yeah. Okay.
Article, one of the Constitution, because that's
where the executive power is derived from members of the
press, that journalism as an industry is the only trade that
is expressly protected by the US Constitution.
is the act of running a church a trade? No, it's not hesitant. Is
it an institution?
I just consider it a church. And I guess I think you could make
the arguments in institution Sure.
Wrestling Presley protected by the US Constitution. And that's
what this is a reminder that there is a freedom of the press
and pushing against that goes against always goes against the
spirit of that rule, if not the letter and the President's
attack, you know, just as Erin said, as the enemy of the
people,
how is that a bridging there? Right by saying that it's
hateful speech towards them, but how is it a bridge? And by the
way, none of those op eds were reminder of this. No, they were
bitching and moaning about being called Enemy of the People.
Yeah, that's not a
run that point you and that point, you are correct, sir.
Okay.
It's just I am I am who these people think they are. These
jumps
the ladder and the President's attack. You know, just as Erin
said, as the enemy of the people. I mean, that's
a second. Here's what I think what you really want to say. If
you guys you press people would actually do your job and stop
slanting news like the one we had in the last show with Lester
Holt making up quotes that didn't exist. And people saying
that the President said this one he didn't or saying the
President said this one he didn't doing that over and over
and over again and then making it a meme that is not doing your
job that is just writing propaganda. I I mean, if you did
this issue wouldn't even be discussed on this show. If the
press was honest, they're dishonest.
It doesn't matter that I'm fine with it because they can be as
dishonest as they want. I really don't care. That's
what creates the problem. If they weren't dishonest, they
wouldn't get all this flak.
No, we just sometimes get it wrong, but we always correct.
They don't this is what this is. This is what they say back to
you. They're wrong. It's I've read I read at least
like them, it's like this Syria, Red Line bombing of the gas the
first go round. Yeah, it was, it was proven out time and time
again, to be the
four weapons of mass destruction.
Is that to the web,
aluminum tubes come on,
always goes against the spirit of that rule, if not the letter,
and the President's attack.
goes, if not the letter, that's why I'm picking them apart, it
goes
against the spirit of that is a reminder that there is a freedom
of the press and pushing against that goes against always goes
against the spirit of that rule, if not the latter.
So that's bullshit. pushing against that goes against the
Spirit, if not the letter,
no. And the President's attack, you know, he's actually
exercising free speech, as Erin said, as the enemy of the
people. I mean, that's a really, really strong denouncement.
That's, you know, to put us in the same category as those folks
who would commit terrorist attacks or something against the
United States is really outrageous
what a terrorist attack has something to do with the First
Amendment now.
And I think it's important to point that out, I don't think
that's being unbiased. I think that it's an important assertion
of the Constitution and its protections of journalists.
Okay, I think you've made
your point.
You beaten his poor work people to death. We know they're fully
crap. It's not really that much of an issue. There's something
in there that gold you didn't listen to some? Well, I mean,
yeah.
That they, as a class of people have workers as an industry are
protected by the Constitution. You agree with it? I don't. I
think it's just No, I think the the act of printing words,
whether that's, you know, modern day video doesn't matter. You
can say whatever you want. It doesn't mean that journalists
are protected. Like, whoa, don't touch him. No more than I am. In
fact, oh, I
think you made that point right off the bat. I don't think
Well, then don't use it. Something irked me I'm repeating
it, then don't don't don't
bait me. Yes. Something did irk you. I don't know what it
was. I just told you what it was. That's what her case.
Oh, well, they you know, the press has got you know, the
problem is? Yeah, I know what you're trying to say. I know
what you're saying is that everybody has these freedoms.
And why is the press holding themselves high and mighty above
everyone else when talk to all they have is the printing press
at their Bureau, the broadcasting tower or the
podcasting microphone or whatever? They want? Yes. Are
they special and they're no special than the average person
standing on the corners?
Right. So it's the arrogance that is taught in J school that
they are special is I think, what irks me that is what irks
me. The arrogance
of we're special. We're high and mighty. I agree. Yeah, you can
argue that.
Okay, well, that's it. You are not high and mighty.
I've got
I've got I've got
let's go to a switch to this. Because in this I have a little
Andrea Mitchell screw. First of all, there's this discussion is
subtle right now discussion of privatizing the Afghanistan war.
Yes, yes, yes. This is by the way, you know that right now. We
have 15,000 in enlisted soldiers, and 30,000 contractors
in Afghanistan,
Eric Prince discusses with Andrea Mitchell. And Erik
Prince, of course, wants to get a piece of the action. And do
ever since this guy's folded his tent and started new companies.
He was working for like his analysis working
for China. He's working for a whole bunch of other you're not
getting us contracts. Okay. I'll
go work over here. Well, that even that's exaggerated, though,
apparently. But let's listen to his take down of those situation
as it now exists because she brings him on to criticize him
obviously, isn't it? It's an it's an NBC operation. And she's
hoping to get his go, but he's just really good at explaining
what's really going on. I thought I really enjoyed this.
What about oversight? What about, you know, the chain of
command if you had private now? Right now you do have one
company for private security that is licensed in Hong Kong
you try.
This is the one that says Andrea Mitchell.
I mentioned her but the clip I'm looking for is Erik Prince I'm
sorry.
Okay. To me now is Eric Prince and former Navy SEAL, the
founder of Blackwater, the former firm that had faced years
of investigations for its role in Iraq no longer exists, he has
now launched a new security organization. And he's pushing
for the privatization of the war in Afghanistan. Mr. Prince,
thank you. Thank you much for being here. What would be the
advantages of privatizing, given all the objections from the
Pentagon from the State Department from the rest of the
military? First of all,
privatization is a loaded term, right. There's right now there's
15,000 US troops and another 30,000, contractors, all I need,
all my plan would say 2000 US special forces remain, and about
6000 contractors. So by any stretch, that is a severe
reduction in manpower, and certainly in spending right now,
America this year 2019 will spend $62 billion just in
Afghanistan, that's more than the entire UK defense budget. So
if people are concerned about domestic spending, or budget
deficits, or the fact that we have Americans dying, fighting
and dying there now as recently as last week, who were infants,
when the twin towers came down, we now have our first
multigenerational war. And I'm trying to get a rationalization
of it. What worked after 911 were a few CIA officers, a few
special forces and some air support. And they devastated the
Taliban in a matter of weeks, if we, when we shifted six months
after 911 to a very conventional battle plan, effectively
repeating what the Soviet battle plan was in 1980s. We have been
losing ever since we've been losing blood and treasure. And
just as recently as this week, when you have four simultaneous
attacks across the country, killing 350 Afghans and blowing
up 50 Kids in Kabul who are studying for exams. That is not
what winning looks like.
Yeah, yeah. And there's our friend blood and treasure back
again, haven't heard that in a couple of years.
Yeah, it's I don't like the term. Well, it goes on and on.
There's a bunch of funny stuff. And then but then they go into
this thing where Andrea was given false information that she
used. And he he was very gentle with her in passing it like no,
I thought this would goes like this. It was very interesting.
But it was she's, you can hear it. I wish you could see it,
because she's so flustered over this information she's reading,
condemning him about something or other about his relationship
with China, in those schools, and giving nonsense, throwing
nonsense at him and he rebukes it all. It's very funny clip.
What about oversight? What about, you know, the chain of
command if you had private now? Right now, you do have one
company for private security that is licensed in Hong Kong,
you train in a rented facility in Beijing? You've graduated at
least 5000 From there already? Oh,
no, not the company that I have anything to do with has not done
anything like that. No credit. We've heard no, we've graduated,
putting 20 or 30 employees, according to the school is the
school has
motion on materials claims that prior to our involvement. Look,
in your in November when you were giving the giving them a
commencement message on Skype.
Correct. Those are. Those are the first 20 company employees.
That's it. Anyway, going back to Afghanistan.
I think he's smart. She tried to do a gotcha on him. Yeah,
failed.
Told failed. And then she tried later. I didn't have this clip,
but I probably should have. She goes and she tries this tricks
where she said she tries to get him flustered by saying, What do
you think about Donald Trump calling people names? He's
called your sister ditzy. DeVos. Yeah.
Which is not confirmed. It's just a rumor.
It's a rumor, which he's glad to use. And he just passed he
laughs that off really easily and just goes on to the next
topic. He has a he's very single minded this guy's not get
sidetracked. Like this guy.
The interesting thing is that with the Benghazi attack on the
embassy, all those guys were contractors. So what happens
when those who are left over who weren't killed in action? What
happens to them? Well, not only do they have all their security
clearances pulled, but they also had to sign NDAs along with all
the other survivors, if you remember, we there were 53
survival. Brennan, by the way, that's yes. Brennan pulled their
credentials. Brennan made him sign NDA, so they couldn't talk
about it. Yeah, curtailing their freedom of speech.
Well, nobody wants to bring that up except us.
And journos because we're journalists. That's why because
we do care. We are We are We are journalists. Your nose baby.
Jared. Oh, don't deep platformed me bro. We're journos.
Man, get with it. We're gonna go in that direction. I got one
more clip. This one cracks me up. Because for one thing if
you're going to do that report to scare the public about the
threat of hurricanes in California. This is a global
warming story that showed up, I believe was on CBS. And it was
like just a scare Harem Scarem story that we're gonna have
hurricanes because of the temperature rising in the
oceans. The problem is when you start to deconstruct the story
they have, they have dates in there that don't coincide with
the current global warming scheme. The temperature in
the Pacific all go hit a record high this month, and there are
new concerns rising water temperatures, could bring
hurricanes to California, Jamie Lucas there.
Irma Harvey, and Katrina father knows about are among the
hurricanes that have ravaged the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico.
But here in California hurricanes are virtually unheard
of. What do you do in the case of a hurricane? I don't know. I
can't imagine like that kind of devastation in the shores here.
Hurricanes that form in the eastern Pacific Ocean usually
don't make it past Baja California, only one managed to
reach as far as San Diego in 1858. However, there's now the
potential this rare event could strike the San Diego area.
Again, oceanographer or Miller, it could
happen especially if the ocean temperatures continue to stay in
this anomalously warm state. It's very simple.
Scientists at the Scripps pier have been recording historic
temperatures in the Pacific Ocean as high as 79.5 degrees.
That's about 10 degrees above normal. What has the temperature
gauge showed you over the last week or
so it's shown that we have been right at or outside the record
temperatures that were already set back in the 30s. So we know
that we are experiencing a very extreme temperature event that
potentially increases the likelihood that a hurricane
might track just a little bit further north than it would
have.
Even though California has been battle tested by fires,
mudslides and earthquakes. The widespread impact of our
hurricane on lives and property is still unknown.
This is fake. I mean, this is worse than fake news. Or the
public needlessly
well meanwhile, one did slip by and I think you know,
before we finish that I do want to mention two things about that
story. One was they do mention 1858 When a hurricane apparently
hits San Diego and then they say the temperatures are getting to
the where they were in the 1930s 80 years ago.
Conditioning baby conditioning getting you ready for crisis.
One that slipped by me although it did come up in the household
was I think it started why know where it started. But the really
once Mother Jones published it Mother Jones got to think Mother
Jones is good Mother Jones Mother Jones is to journalism.
That's where corn is. Fish.
Report. Oatmeal breakfast foods contain unsafe amounts of weed
killer. Well, breakfast with a dose of Roundup, the roundup
chemical found responsible for cancer might also be in your
oatmeal.
We had a clip last show. Yes.
Well, I figured the origin finally got to the origins of
the Environmental Working Group if we ever dealt with these guys
before.
DWG
the name rings a bell Yeah,
well, this there's they're sponsored by a whole bunch of
organic food brands, their nonprofit, a 5014 c, which means
they're a lobbying group. And they just published the report.
Not in a scientific journal. I just published a report on the
blog. And oh, look at this, we got to prove now. Yeah, you can
find all kinds of stuff. So all kinds of trace amounts in in
products and I'm sure that they might have found some trace of
glyphosate in in oatmeal. The actual by their own admission in
the report. What they found was 100 times less than the EPA
threshold. It's like the what is the the plastic stuff that
there's a bunch of different plastic
we talked about it's the stuff they talk the traffic cones from
that's in mac and cheese.
Yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff. Yeah, it goes way back that
discussion
and none of this is healthy, obviously. But this was in the
press gobbles it up. It's a great great toss away before the
top of the hour meal. You can you can toss it in just before
the break and now a crazy story. Wow, everybody. And we're so
used to it that you know, we just shake our head like
whatever. What next? What next move on. Yeah, but you got to
call it out. It's just PR job. It's just a PR Job the
Environmental Working Group all kinds of fun little organic
product brand sponsoring that Way to go guys
ready to go. By the way? I do have an ISO from the last clip
of mine. Okay, I have it here can't understand. It's ah, there
goes the house. Okay. I can do I know you already have one? I
know. I know, I know. Here's a piece of news. It's really kind
of interesting. This is again, this reminds me a little bit
about that, like Michelle Goldberg and her. Angela Merkel
runs the world. It's like the it's I think is getting this is
a bad sign, by the way when the employees who should be just
doing their jobs, if they want to get into management or the
board of directors. I mean, that's different than just being
some schlub doing, you know, working on code. No fence, Ben.
But here's what's going on. This is the Google story.
1400 workers at Google have signed a letter protesting their
company's plans to launch a service in China that will allow
Chinese censors to block search terms about human rights,
democracy, religion, and peaceful protest. The New York
Times reports the workers say the plan raises urgent moral and
ethical issues. Earlier this month. The Intercept reported
Google's project, codenamed dragonfly was launched in the
spring of last year and accelerated after Google CEO met
with a top Chinese government official in December.
This is what always happens to the revolution, it always eats
itself. And, you know, this is a part of a bigger conversation
about the social networks, because the social networks
really and truly have F themselves. And I think a lot of
Silicon Valley companies are doing this, you know, Google,
their job is to collect the world's information. And that's
what they say, and we got all the information. And then they
disseminate that out. And they make money on that. So they have
a network, you know, in their case as to you know, they got a
huge network of people and computers and actual networks,
as does Facebook and Twitter, they all have networks, yet. But
when you no longer control the people through the Pavlovian
feedback loops. And people say, wait a minute, I could actually
use this against the network itself, which is where, you
know, this is where my you can't monetize the network comes from.
Because at the the bottom line, whether it's an ad based
platform, which we all know, an ad based publisher, like
Twitter, or Facebook, or whether it's a technology company,
Google, they all use the network and they can't you ultimately
cannot fight the network. But Alex Jones can be deep
platformed from everything, is that going to stop hundreds of
1000s of people uploading his audio and his videos to Twitter?
No, what will have to happen? We've got to go police it. How
do you police it? Well, we know AI is a lie. Because I see them
hiring the face baggers, right behind me here in downtown
Austin. They want to have 3000 By the end of next year. And we
know from our intel or Uber Intel, that they're being
trained to watch every single video on Instagram, every single
video on Facebook to make sure that it passes the community
standards. But it doesn't matter it
by the way. Just a site. Can you imagine having that job that has
got to be mind numbing.
I think you need to be on pharmaceutical helpers, no
doubt. So all of this, you've, you've unleashed the beast,
you've taught everyone how to use the networks. And now
they're using it. They're using it against the networks
themselves. I see no, I mean, of course billion dollar companies
don't go away overnight. But you know, if someone if someone
really got pissed off about it were unimportant. But let's just
say there were enough people that got pissed off about the no
agenda show. But it's easy. You just target advertisers you make
a lot of noise like hey, you know, hey Nikes advertising on
this platform that has no agenda show? Well, we're gonna boycott
them. Nike doesn't care if you can see their ad ads or not.
They don't want to be involved. Hey, we have no media. That's
always the answer. When you see the sleeping giant people going
after Media Matters going after companies like in what? I'm
we're not going to advertise there for a while we're kind of
done right. We just don't want to be involved in it. Now,
there's all kinds of ways that the network is working against
the companies they are and if and by the way, if we actually
figured this out, think of how powerful we would be We really
wouldn't be very, very powerful. It's
interested.
Oh, no, no, of
course, that power trip, we just like to deconstruct a few news
stories you will be I'm not talking.
I'm not talking about us, per se, but the people, the people
themselves. Now,
the point, the point I was making was that they can't even
control. First of all, I wrote a column saying it's fine that
Google goes into China, and does whatever Chinese, you know,
they, it's the business. And what's the point, but you got
all these because you're in Silicon Valley, and everybody's
first I don't know how this happened, by the way, how
everybody became like a left wing Bernie supporter, and you
really the whole area, just overnight, and so they you know,
so now Google has or Google have their employees are turning on
them. I would just fire every one of the people that had
anything to do it as they get enough people to back you know,
just fire everybody scared to get more firm. Of course, it
would cause even more problems. Kill itself. Yeah, it's a mess.
When you
have a PC culture, and you have people fueled by PCs. It's like
PC squared. That's an incredible power. You got the political
correctness, and you've got a computer and you can literally
force he
see squares,
you square you like it. I worked on that. You did? Yes. I wrote
it down even. It's one of those Hey, man, I just took a hit off
this this joy. Oh, God, I Oh, I gotta go. I gotta go.
Ac squared. Yes, going to be done. Right would have to be the
peace. You'd have to be in parents in the squared sign have
to be after that. Because otherwise it's p c squared. Oh,
yeah.
We don't want that. We want to Yeah, we that's the
mathematically correct. Yeah. So now, you know, I just see people
on real it's the same thing I said about Alexandria, Ocasio
Cortez. Yeah, I was laughing about her. Bring her on more of
her. That's exactly what they said about Trump. Be very, very
careful not to be you don't have to necessarily be a genius on
the outside. You may be on the inside. But even you look
stupid, you can still become president. So just be rhetoric,
and you can be stupid and still become president. So all that's
very possible. But the the idea is missed on everybody, just
like Phil Mudd not now he's getting paid to be on CNN to
talk about how he never uses his security clearance to do stuff
like be on CNN. So when you're all saying, you know, we all get
together, we just want to ban somebody, it can be done
continuously. One guy, one thing he's not I ended up never
considered him a lefty, but he's liberal. And if he gets in
trouble all the time, that's part of his shtick is Bill
Maher, Bill Maher tries to defend the Free Speech of Alex
Jones on his show this weekend. And it had a panel of I can't
remember the names all these people doesn't matter, that he's
just listened to what they're saying what their true beliefs
are. And you can replace Alex Jones for the no agenda show. It
doesn't matter. You know, I've said things that are hateful.
I'm sure you can find something somewhere No problem, John even
more so. No.
So I want to do my free speech for a minute because Alex Jones,
who is not my friend, and who tells crazy lies about me is
thrown off Twitter, I think and Facebook and a few other
platforms, I think he's gonna Well, if you're a liberal,
you're supposed to be for free speech. That's free speech for
the speech he hates. That's what free speech means. We're losing
the thread of the concepts that are important to this country if
you care about the real American shit or you don't and if you do,
which goes for every side, listen,
you can hear pindrop everyone's very confused. The panel is
puzzled I don't like Alex
Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak everybody gets to speak
sure
but he doesn't necessarily get to speak on Facebook or Twitter.
No I get if a guy goes out and this is not opinion if he
engages in vile slandered and fabrication about the bad
children who were murdered at Sandy Hook, and he harasses the
parents of children who were murdered at Sandy Hook. That's
not you know what? Facebook, Twitter, none of them have an
obligation to provide him a platform prior to send that
but even more importantly, you know, this is not the internet
of 1996 where you put up a website and you know, he's using
like the public pipes, like these companies, Facebook,
YouTube, Twitter, these are the majority of time Americans spent
on the internet, right? We're talking these for the this is
ABC, CBS, NBC, right? And they're making money off of him.
They're running ads against him. So it's so you know, I agree
with you about free speech and that's of concern to me as well.
I also don't think those company You should be profiting off of
what he's saying.
We all agree on that. That
you hear this listen carefully Google Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram Pinterest, all you people MailChimp. Listen
carefully. They don't want you to profit off of people they
don't agree with. That is Alex Jones today. That is Jen briny
tomorrow net, right?
We're talking these for the this is ABC, CBS, NBC, right. And
they are making money off of him. They're running ads against
him. So it's so you know, I agree with you about free
speech. And that's of concern to me as well. I also don't think
those companies should be profiting off of what he's
saying. And so
we all agree on that. That private enterprise does not have
any obligation, right? You make a t shirt that says your
mother's sex Coxen hell they don't have to sell it at Baby
Gap. You know, we
have to admit, I thought that was pretty funny.
But that's but I'm just saying pretty much the same thing we're
talking about. Yes, but I'm just saying as a content we have to
understand that the way to get rid of hateful things is to the
sunlight best disinfectant and a good example is Wait a second
the alt right rally right to the Nazis. The member last year in
Charlottesville, they had their rally again. Yes, 20 people
showed up. Okay. Not because we outlawed it, but because we let
it happen the first time and these mental midgets found out
Oh, it's not so great when you do this in public because then
you go back to the office and people don't like yourself.
Yeah, but she'd been Steve Bannon is on television tonight.
Wake the Neighbors quick. Into the we gotta get into the into
our safe spaces because Steve Bannon is on television tonight.
Can you believe that's happening in the US United States of
America?
Okay, not because we outlawed because we let it happen the
first time and these mental midgets found out Oh, it's not
so great when you do this in public because then you go back
to the office and people don't like you so
yeah, but she'd been Steve Bannon is on television tonight
yeah, and I'm in the Albright hasn't disappeared
and we don't YouTube algorithm was doing was funneling people
to Alex Jones like YouTube algorithm is the crossing guards
attention
YouTube, you're being blamed for your algo pay attention Silicon
Valley pay attention Hey, everybody,
there's a rally you know, let's all go to the rally and like
bringing people to the unite the right property.
So companies are having they don't know where to draw the
line. They know there are lines. And then some British douche who
works for Axios scared of their own shadow. They see the make
the tech the tech execs come to Washington DC with their tails
between their legs desperately trying to have these off the
records with us reporters, what can we do know be more feeling.
And they're squeezed from all and scared of conservatives,
because conservatives have these things all they're banning
shadow banning us. And they're scared of the left because the
left saying, you know, clamped down on anyone who says anything
offensive, and that they're scared of their own shadow.
They're in a crouch, and they don't know what to well, except
for
that they do need to act to at least uphold their own Terms of
Service, which is what they're they keep
changing. Right. Moving? Well.
The concern I have to your point bill about more speech, which is
your point, right, right on these platforms, in 2016 44% of
people who identified as left of center did not post anything
about politics on their social media feed 44%. On the
Republican side, on the conservative side, it was only
8%. Why didn't they post because they didn't want to be trolled,
harassed or abused. These platforms. Yes, they are quasi
public squares, but they have an obligation to make sure that
people are not harassed when they use them. And that's why I
think this is an important step. It's only a week suspension for
Pete's sake. It's not like it was the end of the world what
is going on my mouth.
I mean, the Twitter thing it just ridiculous says we're going
to have Alex Jones, you know, off Twitter for a week. So he
thinks about what he's done. Right? I mean, what like he's
some sort of, you know, nine year old who is you know, gonna
say, Hey, I'm really sorry about that yet kids really are dead.
And
I am cute. Just don't forget that.
And he's cute. Okay. It's always a good out. And I'm Q. So I see
the power that is going to we're going to witness on social
networks is is going to be immense. It is going to be
against the social networks, they it's all over this
interview is all over they, why they can't profit off of it. All
these things that are all wrong. People are now attacking the
platform, which is very interesting, because you know,
the platform should not should be movable. A movable platform
platform is a platform you can't do anything with the platform,
but of course updating worms jump on it. Now, I've seen this
movie before I've seen the centralization, decentralization
and right on cue we talked about it on on Thursday. We have if
you look at how RSS and websites and actually de Weiner had all
the right ideas RSS, the RSS cloud, which has now been
supplanted by the Pub Sub than the active active pub, which is
just another protocol, but it includes it all. It actually
functions more like an email box. The terms in the protocol
even say inbox. outbox, as a great way for decentralized
systems to talk to each other. The vision was good, but now
it's been modernized. And when Twitter turned off pieces of
their streaming API, there was an action on Twitter. And it was
the divest day, I don't know, some stupid hashtag. And I saw a
huge influx of people moving to Mastodon, all we need because I
remember how Twitter started. But besides the fact that they
were a podcast, infrastructure network first. Twitter became
was put on the map for one reason. Do you remember? Who
showed up on Twitter that made Twitter the place to go? Who
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore All right, exactly. Not only
were they two massive celebrities have a huge
interest. Ashton Kutcher give him full credit. He showed
everybody he set the standard. Look, there's there's the mean
more Whoa, there's the me with bedhead. Oh, here's mean demore
making out. Wow, I was like this is fantastic. Then we got the
audience created hashtags. The audience creative. We call it a
pound sign.
Actually, the Twitter people wanted to bandanas they
want to ban hashtags are t we stood for retweet the first time
you showed up on Twitter like what the hell is is our t Why is
our t with Russian television idea what is going on? So good
point. So when you move to mass the only need is one celebrity
couple and I know which one I have in mind to set up their own
instance and you'll see a huge dent and I am now go to no
agenda player.com Because this is a message for yay, Kanye. I
am calling you as a true patriot for you and Kim Kardashian West
to go to Mastodon and leave Twitter. I tell you the money
opportunities for you are 1000 fold bigger than whatever Kim is
getting as an influencer on on all of her social media right
now. Because you'll have no one standing there for a handout or
a piece of the action or 30% You'll have free rein the
audience will go.
Go Yes.
Okay, well, I think this is another good example of one of
our positions proposition.
It's just an idea.
This will go probably as far as everything else we do.
Well, we were only good at one thing. Yes, apparently. But this
was just a call to action. This was this. This is not a business
I'm going to be in. I'm just so
and I'm sure that you're gonna get this.
Maybe, maybe.
Okay, okay, we got it. We got it. We got it. Let me see. I did
get some. Oh, did you see the bus stop signs in London? No.
Oh, so face bag who of course are worried?
Oh, yes. No, I've seen these signs. These are the big giant
signs and say, yeah, that I think they're parodies. And then
oh, no, no, no, no calling out. Oh, it's better than that. Face
bag. Has an ad campaign. And, and the senior big letters. Fake
news is not our friend. And then underneath they Well, we don't
even know what it said originally, because people have
gone out and pasted in the same large letter type. The following
paragraph after Fake news is not our friend. Then all of a sudden
new is it's a great revenue source. Yes. Next one. Data
misuse is not our friend. And underneath that it's it's our
business model. I mean, this is not only is it fantastically
funny, it's guerilla. It is backfiring on their marketing.
They're already afraid. They never advertised but when did
Facebook ever advertise? Advertise so now they didn't
have to ever since the congressional hearings, they've
been advertising and so now they're trying to say hey, you
know, we're, we're good. Yeah, we're all good guys. Come over
here hanging out with us and people are vandalizing their
entire campaign. This is beautiful. This to me is the
show right here. This is the show that I had last thing Oh
yes. I got a note about the firewall issues. How this
trickles down when when someone when virtue signaling is in
place and Apple says Get him off and The social networks that get
them off then the firewall companies like Palo Alto net
Palo Alto Networks, start putting things on their block
list. And one of our producers were works there. He's an
engineer that tries to help companies stop all these
breaches you talk about in the show, you said Alex Jones site
was classified as questionable and enhanced blocked. In the
Palo Alto network, Palo Alto Networks firewall system, which
goes apparently to 1000s of companies. Our definition of
questionable is as bilobed we define the URL based on a
variety of different signals. First, we have tools that try
and automatically define the category. Next users can submit
for overrides, to request changes to the categories, which
is what looks like happened in this case, automated systems
initially vet this, then it is manually inspected by humans, I
guess Palo Alto Networks No offense, but has no AI either.
automated systems initially vet this right then it's a manually
inspected by humans, it looks like this site has been
classified as a new site recently, until it was reported
for other things. He This is the problem as the reporting, you
have this feedback loop, it seems like the compromise
between these suggestions was to move it to questionable instead
of, for example, extreme extremism or hate speech.
Customers can request reclassification and provide
rationale to argue why it should be different. Next, a customer
defines what they want to what action they want for each
category. If something is questionable, they might allow
it depending on corporate policy, where something like
extremism will probably be a block. So now you have all of
these little decisions that are made between some skip logic and
some greps grep commands, okay, this may be a signal. And then a
human being looks at it makes a classification then other
customers who of course, when it comes to the next one, have a
different idea. And it starts to get categorized. And before you
know he just got a gray mass of mush. And all you can see is
yeah, yes. Gives me the idea. Is it a profitable at an operation,
you know, that you talked about last show, you talked about this
woman with a block list? Yeah, the block blocks together, a
good idea to get started to think about this as a kind of
accompany immediate matters like operation that's got more of a
octopus structure. So you have your your main company that is
going to use its ability to find locate certain kinds of
operations that you want to shut down through normal means. And
so you create these boycott lists, which you could do, we
have a variety of them, you could have instead of the one
list that woman has on Twitter, you can have maybe 10 different
lists, that you if you don't like this and just subscribe to
this list. You put the button and then you get the blocks go
into play with the from the app. But meanwhile, you have this
octopus structure. So if something like you get the you
get Jones kicked off of the you're put on a blacklist
someplace. And then you have people commenting from the
different tentacles coming in from left and right. It could
only be a small team, you don't need a lot of people. I mean,
the Russians are doing this with a lot of people I think you do
with a small team, that well paid team who are online all the
time. And you could even have some people in India or
elsewhere to do this. But you could say we're not racist,
which is fine. Yeah. And you go in there and you you reconfirm
the goal, it's great that you did this, you should block them.
And then if just if some starts to come out of it, where they
they have, they're never going to have an organized group, like
you would be it would the octopus operation, which is
super organized when they because it's all nebulous,
nobody knows anybody. Right? leaders coming in from left
field, and
what you're saying is the need for an organization, the octopus
org that sits on top and really corrals the message of all these
people, provides them the feedback loop and makes them
feel good. Is that what you're saying?
Well, there's not more than that. It directs its efforts
towards politically. You know, it's all politically motivated.
So if you're running a campaign for some, you you work for the
campaign, for example, if somebody's running for the
Senate, and you do everything you can to to to block stifled
is a dirty tricks operation is what it amounts to. Roger Stone
should do. He can't manage them like that. But I mean, it would
be he would be like one of the guys you'd employ because he'd
have ideas. I bet he does think, oh, yeah,
of course he they have great ideas.
And so you'd put you'd have an actual commercial operation,
they'd be consultants, and they would do these these dirty
tricks. And it would be because the way these things come in the
way he described the Palo Alto Networks they Oh, somebody comes
in and they ask for Oh, can you look at this again? Because I
think he should be you shouldn't be shouldn't be on the
blacklist. Well, you could have 10 people saying he shouldn't be
on the blacklist. I mean, you could organize and effect if
this is an organized already. I'm actually I'm actually be
surprised. I'd be surprised. I've talked to public relations
companies about these ideas. And they're all like, oh, you know,
I started read necessarily a great thing. And they'd rather
go off and do native advertising, because there's a
lot of money in that. I think there's as much money in this.
I think so too. And that is actually something we could I
mean, you're just creating another value networks. Not that
hard. Yeah, the message goes out. Hey, everyone, report this
report this click on report report this
year, you'd have you right, you'd have a system of messaging
to get the word out.
Bless you. Well, that's that's the beauty of it. We have that
system. It's called Twitter, but just use Twitter. Well, we can
use the IRC to it's more fun, it's more fun to use themselves
against themselves.
Well, maybe yeah, that's funny. I think that's funny. I'd like
that. I think there's you know, it's something to consider, you
know, you get a you need, you need a good team, a core team
and then you can create this octopus structure, and you can
start pushing people around.
Alright, so the newsletter is our delivery mechanism. Stay
tuned. You will hear more, subscribe to our newsletter.
It's on every page of the show notes subscribe to the
newsletter. Just quickly before we take our break here. I've
been rather obsessed with going OTG off the grid trying to
add or we have not had a report for some time. Yes.
Well, I'm I'm extremely pleased still momentarily with the
Kyocera. Ultra, what is it, the V No Ultra directory, the dura
force 7010 Whatever it is. Because as a modern web browser,
you can do pretty much everything you need to do in a
modern web browser. You don't need to have all the apps and it
also doesn't distract you because I can only get text
messages or phone calls. Nothing else brings bloops bloops or
flops. But the problems are still rife throughout our world.
The largest lifeguard organization, the DLR G is
warning that there's a growing number of child drownings this
summer. And that is linked to parents not paying attention
because they're on their smartphones. How sad. Is this,
this pathetic? And does it surprise me? Yes.
Another OTG in reverse, ie a very bad thing is happening in
the Netherlands. More and more people are concerned for their
privacy and they win their organizations such as the Harlem
Culinary Festival. And the Culinary Festival is now it's
like a food fair, I guess. It's in Harlem, and the organizers.
You know, a lot of people apparently who go to seminars
and you know, fairs and events are saying I really don't want
to be photographed and put on social media.
Which is I say that to people too well,
they're the Dutch. And they have come up with a fabulous idea.
upon registration and analysis, truth fact, upon registration,
you check a box to say no, I do not want to be in photos on
social media. And they give you a red.to Put on your head. Once
you put
put a yellow cross on your shoulder
or a bull's eye, for that matter, a red dot because then
the AI can scan that and say, Oh, we can't post this one
because there's a red dot person in there. Is that greater what?
It's done. That right there is another fabulous opportunity.
Because you know, the.of course should have an RFID chip in it.
All kinds of cool stuff to track people doing anyway, I do see

that I'm on the right path because he wrote when the enemy

The only way we can make no advertising if you imagine. I
mean there. There are people around there are people who
despise me. Certainly, there are people who spit on you. And if
they actually had something to go after we'd be gone. If we had
ads, we'd be gone. Imagine hat trying to hang on to a
Squarespace ad with people you know, calling out as a as a Nazi
or whatever. Quadroon a Nazi Quadroon
Trump apologist
trumpeters. Exactly. So,
I should add a good bit of what I've heard, which is Trump,
pansy.
Trump pansies. Good. I
like that. It's like a Trump like chimpanzee. But it's Trump
pansy. Although it has a kind of a, I would say it has a slight
homophobic sound to it that maybe it shouldn't be used.
Yes, I understand what you're saying. Let me see. Oh, yes, the
Electoral College was discussed on see spam the other day, from
a guy I know personally. He wants to get rid of it. Of
course, and I respect this guy. I've worked with him. I fought
lawsuits for things he believes in and won. In that regard.
Creative Commons. As far as I know, I was the first to
challenge a copyright in court to uphold Creative Commons, and
it was awarded and Professor Lawrence Lessig. Oh, yeah,
I know him very well.
I'm sure you do. And I've always liked the guy. Although I do
remember, we got in some little scrape some online back and
forth bitching about something I can't remember. He actually
enjoys that. Okay. Well, I recall in the previous election,
he was going to be the candidate, you know, hey, give
me all your money. And then I'll try, Oh, yeah. And then I'll
have a really smart person as Vice President, I'll resign and
he can be or she can become president. So now he wants to
get the convention together to create an amendment to the
Constitution to abolish the electoral college. And we have
so many international listeners, and this is such a topic because
it's coming back apparently, because he's trying to make this
happen. And he's,
as predicted, I would like you
to a bridge. That's what I could say to abridge the, the choice
of an electoral college and its function, so that we can then
understand when it will be good or not to get rid of it and why
it's unique.
Well, the last election was a proof that the Electoral College
does have a function. And that is to keep one state with too
many people and too many, too many votes from hogging the. In
other words, here's what happened in the last election.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, but only because and she
won it by about 4 million people, but only because Trump
was shut out of California was not really allowed to speak. And
so she won, that those extra 4 million people came from one
state, California, the rest of it was spread out in such a way
that to California,
I have to say I'm sorry. I think one of the main problems is
right there is that most people and most of those will be
American don't understand the model of the states. I think
they just think Murca one big country.
Yeah, no, it's not. No, every state is reserved every state
for the international listeners. Every state is governed
separately.
As its own laws. Some states you can drink well used to be some
strange you could drink when you're 18, or there's 21
different driving rules, all kinds of things that were not
covered by to have sex various Yes. Oh, yes. That's still in
play. The Constitution. The only job the Constitution has is to
restrict the federal government to things they can really can't
do, but the only things they can meddle in and everything else
everything else is supposed to be governed by the state. that's
been gotten very gray over the years, through a lot of social
programs, it's not very clear anymore, but people are
forgetting that the states have their own laws. For instance,
I'm in a state, and I petition my government frequently, where
marijuana is illegal. And we're gonna get illegal in Texas. If
you don't like that, if you if you think that it's ridiculous,
man, you can't smoke my weed, then you can either risk going
to jail, or leave the state go to another friendly state, or
420 friendly entire
west coast is legal. So so the idea is Electoral College was
set up to give just a fixed number of votes, were each
representing various states. And so if you one is I don't know
what California is. But let's say California has 80 votes. If
California votes for Hillary, and she wins by one vote, all 80
votes go to Hillary. If they vote for California, and she
wins by 4 million votes, those same 80 votes did no more go to
Hillary, just those same 80. And so the problem is, you don't
want these states that are lopsided in favor of one
candidate over another kind of stuff in the ballot box.
The arts, the argument that comes from in this particular
case from people who wanted Hillary to win is, how is it
possible that a state like Montana gets to have equal
representation in the Senate? And how can it be that they have
even that many electoral votes?
Well, the electoral votes are based on the population, the
state so that Montana doesn't have more electoral mess, and
they deserve? No,
but once. Okay, continue.
And so you did the idea is to keep one state from dominating
the hope, you know, the whole system, we all want California
picking our presidents wish it would have done if Hillary had
won. Okay, that's it. That's all there is to it. It's not that
complicated. Well,
the way I always like to look at it is the system was put in
place in case we had some form of mass hysteria outbreak. And,
and people were trying to bully in some nut job, which is
exactly what people are saying is what it what it allowed,
whereas I
kept a criminal from the President.
Exactly. That is, so it actually worked incredibly well. But why
Professor Lessig fails to see this
use a big hill, but yeah, he's
he's a he's a law guy. I mean, this is he's a professor of law.
Very smart. I have huge respect. Does he not know the the origins
of the of the Electoral College?
He knows everything. But as far as he's concerned, it doesn't
work. Right, because Hillary didn't win. So
so he's, uh, he's dumb.
No, he's not dumb. He's conniving. Oh, okay. Well,
here's, here's Damocles, a real hardcore Democrat,
I know, but to throw your credibility as a constitutional
scholar into the wind by saying you're
you're joking when you say this, right? No, he's making himself
look good. Are you kidding?
History will be the judge of that
it's incredibly difficult to imagine our constitution being
amended, this is a general problem, not just as it affects
the, the electoral college. And so, you know, what we're trying
to do is the best we can, given that really critical constraints
on our constitutional process with
the state compact, how many states will be needed to make
that change and how many states have signed on?
So the Compact is triggered when the equivalent of 270 electors
have joined? And right now we have 12. There are 12 states
representing 165 electors that have joined, but the problem is
they've kind of hit a very thick red wall, because there's not
yet a solidly Republican state that has joined the compact now
that could change. People are thinking about trying to bring
referenda in states that allow referenda because what we know
is that the public overwhelmingly supports the idea
of a president who actually represents all of America
really, no, as the public is deeply skeptical as your earlier
callers were of this electoral college system. That seems to be
just a random number generator increasingly in this election of
our president, so if people could decide I think it would be
an easy question, but we depend upon these politicians to bring
the national popular vote compact to fruition and, and
they and despite the incredibly hard work of many people,
literally since Bush first score. That still has not come
to fruition.
I think he should be stripped of his clearance. Yeah, he
doesn't I don't think he has. Who the hell knows?
I don't think he does that. To me. That's just mean. I'm sorry.
He's throwing his credentials to the wind.
It's sour grapes.
While Yeah,
all I know is he wouldn't be saying any of it to ask him
this. Well, if, if you remember before the election, there was
no road to 270 for Donald Trump. No road and of Electoral College
was swinging, it was going to be a landslide, as some of these
guys would, says a landslide of biggest ever in the Republican
party who is going to be destroyed? Would you if that had
happened? Would you still be doing this? Wait, what do you
mean? In other words, if Hillary had gotten in with a landslide
hit nearly destroying the Republican Party with because
there was no road to 270? Right. Would you still be on this
bandwagon trying to get rid of the Electoral College? No, of
course not. Of course not. That's there. I understand.
John. Thanks. But I don't understand how someone can just
say this. I get the guy you know, he has standing had
standing. Still does with his group. Yeah, with his group.
Okay. On
stage when he ran for president with this cockamamie scheme.
Come on. I mean, you know, that's kind of a credibility
issue there that idea.
I think we laughed about it then to think I probably had a
similar lead in nutjob. Elon Musk is no Elon. I should have
had that one ready. He ended an interview about his tweet, you
know, taking the company private at
all. Yeah. At looking into this. You can't do that.
Yeah. Did you read? Did you read the New York Times interview?
No, I just read about it. Oh, yeah. He even mentioned he was
on Ambien. Yeah,
yeah, no, this has really hurt the company's stock. Oh,
immediately.
And now today came out there was aa Zelia banks, who was a hip
hop, hip hopper. She was tweeting that she was at Elon
his house and I guess she's friends with her wife and said I
have some of the tweets here. I waited around all weekend while
Grimes coddled her boyfriend for being too stupid to know not to
go on Twitter while on acid. I saw him in the kitchen, tucking
his tail in between his legs scrounging for investors to
cover his after asked after that tweet. This is what Bankston
told the Business Insider ever meeting with the muscle last
week and he was stressed and red in the face. Now, of course,
must denied all of this. But a little report from CNBC who are
just baffled, just baffled by the price of 420. Just baffled
by it. Why?
I mean, there are some very, to me very interesting, but also
troubling revelations in that interview, like let's talk about
the $420 prize. I mean, he said, he just glanced at the stock
price tacked on 20% and then rounded it up to 420 because of
quote unquote karma and the fact that that's like National
marijuana day. You acknowledge that? That's in the interview?
No, I, the way I read it, I couldn't say if he explicitly
referenced marijuana, but it was written for us to draw that
conclusion.
That's a therapy Okay, good. And I think, you know, I can
imagine, you know, corporate finance students across America
who spent years learning how to do this kind of cash flow will
look at that and say, You know what,
I thought she had a thing at the end there. Yeah. I'm just
baffled. Oh my God. Now this kind of breaks my whole
assumption that Elon was the is the golden child of the
intelligence and Space Force and offer I'm not no I'm not I'm not
backing off. Because if he gets through all this, and I still
think he'll take the company private at 420 Then I think then
we'll all have to say I was right. I'm I'm still thinking
I'm writing it down. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you Oh, was right.
Yes. Just you can just do that. You can just call me anytime you
want. I will just say hey,
right. It takes a company price you're right.
at 420 at 420 Please write down the 424 20 or better
yeah he's, he's in a heap of trouble.
Yeah, it sure looks like it by the way would you want to go on
a rocket with him right now.
Oh, man. He goes on a rocket every week.
Yes. Now amidst all of this, and this was just an extra two
parter fantastic. couple of quotes. This is MICHAEL
PILLSBURY. He's a big defense guy. I think in the bush. He was
Undersecretary for Department of Defense. He's brand, the
military industrial complex from beginning to end, older guy,
gray gray guy. I don't think he has any direct intelligence
involvement. But he has clearance. Trust me, he's got
clearance and he's out there talking for a reason. So we're
not going to
be hoodwinked, wearing a blue shirt. He's got gray hair, and
don't remember
if it was
a blue shirt, maybe
guys gray hair. Well, he's now of course, he runs a think tank
now. So he gets to go out there with his credentials. But
whether he believes it or not, I thought his assertions over what
China thinks of President Trump were interesting.
There was a surprising piece written by a Chinese expert in
the Financial Times recently that describes the Chinese
leadership's view of Donald Trump. And it came as I think
something is a surprise. If you follow the news coverage of
Trump in this country, it said, essentially, Chinese leadership
believes that our president is playing a kind of three
dimensional chess, he's a brilliant tactician, and that
they fear he's out flanking them strategically is Do you think
that's right.
Yes, I was in Beijing a week ago, I think I heard pretty much
the same thing that they think President Trump is basically the
superior president out of the last five or six to adult with
China. And then he's done the most alter the relationship,
he's really got their attention. They're quite concerned that
there's something deeper going on and then they're aware of. So
you get the sense that the Chinese leadership, and the
advisors to the leadership are afraid of being outsmarted by
President Trump. I think he's distinguished himself as
fighting back at all. Number one. Number two, the details and
the depth of his allegations in the several White House reports
he's released, are really quite stunning to the Chinese. He's is
basically alleging that they stole their way to the top.
They've had forcible technology, transfers from US companies, the
outright stolen technology, that they they sort of have an
illegitimate path to be number two in the world. That he would
say these kinds of things, especially this term is used in
some reports, economic warfare, that China is committing
economic warfare against America and other countries. This is
really quite astonishing to them. They're used to being if
you will, coddled, or are spoken politely to. So this is really
quite a shock. And he's working. I think,
I find that to be very interesting.
That's something you won't hear in the mainstream media. What
was that CNBC?
No, that was Tucker Carlson was on Fox courses on Fox Tucker
got that out. Yes. Interesting
guy actually had a funny gaffe. In the same little interview.
Do you think that so far this change in our attitude toward
China has helped you know,
and by the way, his his gaffe will prove that the no agenda
show Mind Control works states if
we gotten something out of this?
Well, it's kind of a strange reaction, but we've certainly
got the attention of the European Union. The European
Union Commissioner, Mr. Juncker came here less than a month ago.
It works it works. We've programmed in to say drunker
instead of Junker.
Wow drunker is not really close to yield girl at the same you
know,
I was I was watching that in bed last night on the on the hearing
aids so you know, you can't hear anything I just hear. And I
laughed so loud Tina woke up. I could not believe I could not
believe it. Oh, by the way. Just wanted to say something about
the hearing aids. So here's Silicon Valley for you. So by
have these hearing aids, Apple was the first one to come out
with smartphone integration for streaming to your hearing aids
called MFI Made for iPhone. I believe it's an open protocol. I
believe it's published, I believe anyone can use it. And
it's part of the Bluetooth High Five streaming spec something.
And there's a number of hearing aid manufacturers who
immediately went okay, great. We're programming for this.
We're good to go. Google comes out with an announcement
yesterday. Yeah, we're gonna support hearing aids but it's
gonna be completely different standard and it's only going to
work on these hearing aids over here. What is the I hate these
people?
Well, that's pretty douchey.
That is that is the Google way. I have to say, app was very good
at themselves but they jumped on a supported this and I guess you
get some first right? We're talking about a handicap an
actual medical issue that you're now going to screw with people
on. I think I have an ADA defense here.
You should yeah, you do this may be actionable.
Yes. Class.
Some actionable I don't know.
We got lawyers out there. We got we got invalid lawyers. What are
they what do you call when you do a
iron sign?
He was law enforcement man. He wasn't a lawyer. He was he was
the one
about the Chinese going back to the Chinese horror, which just
got back from China. And he was grilling people over there in
the subtlest show, but he lucky to get back then. He said was
that guy's been shy ie I kept asking what do you think of our
President Trump? And they said, Well, we think he's great,
because he's he's he's doing something about immigration, the
Chinese seem to be concerned about our immigration policies.
Oh, interesting.
Oh, I know why, of course, because they're concerned
because they don't want the cheap labor to go to factories
in America, stuff like that.
But they like him. So they've you know, it's not like you if
you go to Europe and start asking about Trump because the
Europeans are part of the same. The same structural news. I
mean, the Chinese news is not pushed around by the New York
Times.
THE EUROPEAN NEWS just translates the New York Times.
That's all they do. I look at the headlines every morning.
There's an email I get it has all the Dutch newspapers from
the left to the right to the intelligent to the quasi and
everything in between to the gossip brags. The headlines are
exactly the same as in the United States. Sure. There's
some local flavor and color for a couple of stories. You know,
dog bites man, and man died with bites dog but it's all of its
like Trump yanks clearance. Yeah. All there's no journalism
in the EU. Well, there is but it's a lot of copy paste work
and just translating. And why wouldn't you? You know, you're
up nice and early compared to the US. You got the overnight
stories. Boom. It's good for a whole new cycle. Okay, time for
coffee.
All right. So I have one clips that you got the drunker thing I
gotta play this and this is this is a woman she's kind of a
substitute er, and she's on CBS. She's a professional journalist.
She's not a spring chicken, Meg Oliver. And she is on the
network. And this is this I don't have the other clip, but
I've caught her doing this twice. This is a segment from a
from a package that she put together and it's just a short
piece. Sorry, wait, and I'm just gonna say I want you to see if
you can catch what really galls me about it. But this
her unusual journey started in 2013. Grassley was an art major
at the University of Montana when she visited the zoological
museum on campus
I mean completely overwhelmed with
Yes, it would be so illogical.
She has done this before
does no one Do they have no one correcting people?
I don't know what if they know that you just want to pronounce
the word or they CBS doesn't care. I think this is shoddy. At
DISH Network national network level SES Zoo. ology is is
unexcusable is inexcusable. Is is grounds for firing, push her
over the MSNBC where she can get away with that stuff.
Yeah, that that, by the way, is an actual service the show could
provide. If anyone needs a service that will correct stupid
things. You're on air. People say we're your guys.
Yeah. Well,
it's a consulting company we have that should be taken
advantage of.
They don't, as usual, usual. You know, I came across a conspiracy
theory that I like very much, but in fact, I'll just do, I'll
just do a little Theramin. I'll do it upfront ads. All right.
Wow, it hurts so much. Now we've discussed the Communist
Manifesto before on the show. We've discussed that Karl Marx
really was more of a blogger, and much less of the guy who
wrote it. It was of course, Friedrich Engels, who wrote the
communist
Mills is the bad actor amongst the two guys. Marx was pretty
much a journalist, a columnist. He never even lived in Russia.
He lived in England. It lived in England, Engels was the real bad
actor and instead of being called Marxism, this should all
be called angle ism. It didn't sound as good.
Yeah, but he was I think it was like a gadfly. This marks guy.
He was kind of around social Circles and you know, he did
some poetry and I think we correctly concluded. years ago
he was a blogger. So, here's the conspiracy theory. Now I like
it. Frederick Friedrich Engels, his dad worked for the
Rothschild Bank. One of the, you know, in the most of in London,
I think at the time, where that that division of the Rothschild
Bank was, and the Communist Manifesto was written under the
auspices of his dad. And then of course, you know, but they
needed to, the reason why they really want to separate the
angles name from it is because of the bank. So they, they put
it under Karl Marx's name. Now, here's where the conspiracy gets
interesting. There is the 10 planks of the Communist
Manifesto. And the way that conspiracy reads is, this is
what Marx wrote for communism. It sounds like an awful lot of
it is already in place in the United States. Now, what I don't
know is if these 10 planks of the communist men Magath
manifesto are indeed 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. I
have not I've read the cliffnotes. The Communist
Manifesto, and I feel bad about that. Have you read this online?
I sure I have not read it in its entirety. Have you read it?
years ago? Like years ago? Okay,
so these are the 10 planks. And you tell me if you think that's
correct me, I'm gonna pull it up.
Well, you're gonna get the same stuff I got if you look for 10
planks
conspiracy theory against the Communist Manifesto. Uh huh. And
then I'll look up 10 planks.
I'm not quite sure where this 10 planks comes? Well, while you're
doing that, plank, one, abolition of private property in
land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
Sounds pretty communist to me. Of course, that has not happened
in the United States, but through taxation, your land can
be taken away from you. And I would argue that property tax is
a form of rent that goes to the public purpose. second plank, a
heavy progressive or graduated income tax? Well, we have that.
In fact, I think we're most people are proud to say we have
progressive tax. Third plank, abolition of all rights of
inheritance. It's not been abolished, but we do have a
quite a hefty tax. It's known as the death tax, plank for
confiscation of the property of all emigrate, immigrants and
rebels. And that's forfeiture, which happens all the time. If
you do something bad, then they can take all your stuff away.
That's centralization of credit in the hands of the state by
means of a national bank was state capital and an exclusive
monopoly. That would be the Federal Reserve.
That would also indicate the student loan situation.
Oh, yeah. Oh, true. And that is centralized? Yeah, six
centralization of the means of communication and transportation
in the hands of the state. Now we do have regulations. We have
the the FCC, we the federal, we have the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There's a number of,
but we still got bloggers. Yeah,
well, this is I'm gonna get to this point. So the seventh the
seventh plank, extension of factories and instruments of
production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of
wastelands and the improvement of the soil generally in
accordance with a common plan. So we don't have this exactly.
But what we do have is a lot of government involvement in our in
agriculture, we just recently saw $12 billion in subsidy go to
the farming sector, or at least promised to the farming sector
for to compensate for tariffs. The eighth plank equal
obligation of all work. This is a Castillo's vibe, the equal
obligation of all to work establishment of industrial
armies, especially for agriculture. And I think that
that's where socialism comes into play.
That's what No, that's where we got that dead guaranteed jobs.
Yes, long discussion about that's what I'm saying. So
that's what Ocasio is about it. She's a big fan of that, but
that people don't fully understand should actually write
it up, because it probably
needs to be written up. And because it's an actual system
that falls into this. It's an economic system, economic
system, it falls into this. And when I read these planks, I'll
just do the last two combination of agriculture with
manufacturing industries gradual abolition of the distinction
between town and county. Country by a more equitable distribution
of the population over the country. This is as Larry
Lessig. Yes. And the planning Reorganization Act of 1949
Electoral College,
and then 10, free education for all children in government
schools. Does that sound like Ocasio? Abolition of children's
factory labor in its present form, and combination of
education with industrial production? To me, when you say,
socialism or democratic socialist, you're just here to
finish the job? It seems like we're already there.
We have all this to sneaky.
Well, you have to remember that the Voodoo people associate
communism with the with the Soviet Union and its structure.
And much of the Communist Manifesto was not really what
was implemented in Russia was a Stalinist system, which was
really a modified version of this. And this also, the
Communist Manifesto applies to China. And their version is of
is a Chinese hybrid between capitalism and communism is the
system is completely different again, right. So the basic
system, which is the one we should all go out and read the
Communist Manifesto. I think now, and I'll do that is
probably just a kind of a suggestion box.
Well, here's what I'll posit posit, because this is this is
this, okay, dude, I'm positing has nothing to do with dude. It
does. I'll posit this positively this posit, and this closes out
the conspiracy. This Communist Manifesto, if followed, which we
seem to have followed quite well, when other countries have
followed suit. It really is about one thing. It gives
complete control over the country and the population
through taxation and through money creation by the Central
Bank, which in our case, is the Federal Reserve. They don't have
to own it to control it. completely control the masses
through this manifesto, and through taxation and money
creation. Go Bitcoin.
Now, on that note, I'm going to change the top topic. Yep. You
use the word posit? I did. So I'm watching the worst movie
ever made in the history of I say least Disney maybe every
movie company ever?
I'm sure I loved it. Which, which one? Was it?
Avengers Infinity Wars?
What is it? What Oh, what is this? I might have seen this on
the airplane. Which one is this?
This is the movie where all the about half of the characters in
the Marvel Universe are killed at the end. And that's the way
the movie ends by some ogre, some guy only this is just big
ogre. And he uses the word when they're asking him why you want
to kill everybody. He says, Well, I've done the calculus
know who wrote that? speech writer for Clinton.
So this guy who's just some big bruiser, he gets this is
actually more of a symbolic movie about the New World Order
and the global governance idea and who wins? Well, the global
governance guy the big ogre wins and he gets to go relaxed
because he says once you get kills half, half of everybody in
the universe gets killed along with all the superheroes.
Unfortunately, a lot of superheroes get killed movies,
including spy all I was cheering because I'm thinking oh, great.
No more Spider Man movies. Oh, great. No way you because all
these guys are dying and they didn't kill Iron Man. So we got
to watch. A couple of these guys are gonna come back. They know
they killed the entire western group. There were sad funny
comedy with a little with a little raccoon, a Guardians of
the Galaxy. Everybody. I think the raccoon still alive, but
they kill all of them. They're all dead. And for good. And then
the way Marvel works, it said, I hate to talk comic book talk.
But the way Marvel works, whatever it happens happens for
everything and all the franchises so so they have to
obviously come with some bogus way of bringing him back. But
I've decided this is just close the franchise. I think this is
fantastic. The movie sucked. No story ever
since ever since Deadpool and Deadpool two who needs to see
another superhero movie? That's that's the franchise right
there.
Deadpool two was funny. I agree. That was very enjoyable movie.
worth watching. It just gags and jokes. But this movie was the
worst movie imaginable. I recommend it if you really feel
like tormenting someone. But according to people like that
They know about people who went to the scene in the theaters.
They say that people were crying in the theaters because their
favorite characters were killed.
Oh man, well, how old were these people? 40 Whoa,
I don't know. I mean, they may have been young they may have
been old but just a lot of people that are into this.
Anyway, it is a horrible film very, very poorly. No story
whatsoever. It's it does have some symbolism, I think good
work
at alienating a large portion of the audience film girl thanks.
People love that. You do? So we've had the virtue signaling
about the straws? We you probably heard the virtue
signaling about the balloons. Balloons are a problem because a
balloon releases. So if you have a helium balloon, that should be
forbidden because the helium balloon goes up. It pops it
comes back down. Fish eat it and die. And other rodents eat it
and die. They all die from the blue
rodents he didn't die. So what?
It's inhumane okay.
We have yet another virtue signaler on the horizon. I don't
know if this is happening under pressure. I can certainly see
the waste. Let's see if this can make it maybe it will stop
global warming. The ketchup
packets days could be numbered as Heinz plans to overhaul its
global packaging designs to find greener alternatives. The
Chicago based food giant announced on Tuesday that it
will make 100% of its packaging, globally recyclable, reusable or
compostable by 2025. The company joins rivals like Unilever and
Nestle that have set explicit deadlines to make their products
environmentally friendly. Heinz isn't sure yet how it will
address non recyclable packaging. Like the ketchup
packets, the company says new packaging will have to balance
sustainability with requirements for food safety, shelf life and
costs.
Here's the thought. Do you think it's maybe possible that John
Kerry running for Senate I believe is he running for
Senate?
Oh, he's running for anything? Yeah,
I think he's running for Senate.
I could I see is that gonna get leveraged from this?
No, no. How about he got pressure. Just wondering from
well, maybe
I think this is bullcrap. I think it's just virtue signaling
of the worst sort, which is, which consists of, we're going
to do it in 2020.
He's running for governor. He's running for governor think he's
running for governors. No control room helped me out here
running for
let's talk about virtue signaling and crackpots. There
was a documentary on PBS about this woman who spent all her
life getting plastic water bottles banned from Concord,
Massachusetts. And she finally man managed to get it done and
they got banned. And then it all is going to be a horrible domino
effect. And I don't know if anybody else did anything. But
she was an old kind of an old Biddy who went from person to
person to person and talking about, you know, saving the
planet or whatever. You have to listen to this clip and tell me
if you find anything peculiar about it.
I'm doing is I have a petition article number 32 on the town
warrant, and that is to ban the sale of drinking water and
plastic bottles in the town of Concord. I don't think we have
that kind of problem. I think those have been overblown over
the last several years. Why put more burdens on people? Because
only 20% of the plastic water bottles are recycled? How do we
know that with our statistics you can find out a lot about all
these issues if you go to corporate accountability
International in Boston, they have tobacco things like why did
you What did you do what did you kill
that poke? Why did you kill that bug?
guys talk a tour her and he sees his potato bug or something
walking across his fader and he steps on it and she gets freaked
out she looks and sees him doing that and gets right off the
topic immediately. This is so easily distracted and is
concerned about why he stepped on a bug this is like to me is
like wow.
Also this was the the office for corporate responsibility sounded
like a nice outfit to me. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I just play this clip so we can get it out of the way. This is
the Como clip where he says America is not never been that
great.
And look the since all this comes down to this. We're not
going to make America great Again, it was never that great.
We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when
every American is fully engaged
guys on Xanax. Ki something's
wrong with him on calling Xanax.
Sounds a bit like it. Yeah.
Yeah. I understand what he was trying to do Sure do. But he
flubbed it was just stupid. Delivery was wrong. The timing
was wrong, and probably should have just stayed away. So like
you're going to try and make a joke about make America great
again. You gotta have a good joke
I don't know what he could have done the structure that better
but it was really poorly executed now. It's now it's a
meme.
All right, it's time for one more and then we should really
get out of here.
Well, I got one I've been trying to get off the list has been
here for a while. This is a classic. When you have to have
Shields and Brooks. I think they're moving shields off of
the off of the job on PBS newshour because he's, he's just
he just rants and raves. He sounds like an idiot to be
honest about it. But let's listen to his commentary on
Putin and how it relates to Trump.
Vladimir Putin 2% very favorable among American voters. 3%
favorable. 65% unfavorable. 46% very unfavorable. So by a margin
of 23 to one, his very unfavorable to his very
favorable and why is Donald Trump hanging around with him? I
David, I've been suspicious all the way through. He must have
something there's some reason Donald Trump is not a man given
great loyalty to individuals. You know, his hero worship is
finite. It does raise serious questions about what's going on
here.
Is he still waiting for the PPT? Is he a little behind on the
isn't that been brought up to speed?
I have no idea what he's talking about. You're right. The guy's
all
he can consider him gone. He's on the he's now he's just not
only bet on the wrong horse. He's riding into the sunset with
it.
Yeah, even Brooks has backed off a little bit.
All right, everybody. That's your deconstruction for today.
Almost three hours of it. I think that pulled you over for a
couple of days when we return on Thursday with another episode of
the Best podcast in the universe, which is supported by
you, the producers of the show, and it's highly appreciated.
We're honored to do the work. Please remember us at
devora.org/na coming to you from the five by nine Claudio and the
common law condo in the capital of the drone Star State Austin,
Texas FEMA Region six on the governmental maps in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
from Northern Silicon Valley where we beat the Zephyr. I'm
John C. Dvorak and I'm Q.
will return on Thursday, Thursday. Until then, adios
mofos. Am I missing a piece?
No, you're not missing anything these guys are. They're deluded.
I don't know what their problem is. At this point. This has gone
on too
long. This comes back to that. Don't be stupid. You have a
moral obligation to be smart.
Yeah, you have a moral obligation to be intelligent,
right? That exact quote
elegent. Yes. It's confusing to me. I mean, they're just a bit
Doesn't anyone else see this?
Got to think more. You got to think more. You got to think
smart. You got to be smart. You got to be intelligent.
Don't be stupid. You have a moral obligation to be smart.
Positive thinking. Got to think more you got to think more. You
got to think smart and you got to be smart. You got to be
intelligent.
At the same time, we are under attack from Russia and forward
physical missiles like during the missile crisis. Americans
would be in the streets and protesting and asking for the
President to protect us. These are invisible missiles,
a racial chin
that gets even physical comes call out bigots and it gets even
a year.
The President calls you
wacky to protect us. These are invisible missiles, fighting
against hate matters, not how you fight to get To
ensure these are invisible missiles that came from
trying to get language what he is used with our medical lumen
over the last couple of days he called her wow a racial
a year called permissive so long as the biggest they are fighting
or arguing
to the wacky patters
withdrawing a mortgage
all called for missiles
in a violent way gets
protesting and asking for the presidential protesters
these similar language to what he is used
with arguments two wrongs and what is right to guilt whacking
syndicates it gets it gets to get to get to get to get the
