The FBI doesn't need any help looking like goofballs. Adam
curry, John C. Dvorak. Thursday, September 27 2018. This is your
award winning combination media assassination episode 1072. This
is no agenda jacked up on D coil and broadcasting
live with the drone Star state here in downtown
Austin. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry from
Northern
Silicon Valley where this effort is awaiting. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Buzzkill.
Yes,
yes. Please ever present for
dye Have I got the worst head cold or allergies or both? I
don't know what it is. But
where you're living, I would guess it was going to be
something allergy related.
It's it's just it's really bad this time.
It's always really bad. This time. It wasn't as bad where you
can't stand up, which, you know, a couple of years ago. I
remember that. Yes,
that was the mold and I've kicked the mold. I don't have
that anymore. I think now it's ragweed. And it's just I'm
sneezing the whole time. And
are you is your is your nose your eyes? No.
Yes, eyes nose. Yes.
Oh, that's allergies.
So I'm on the I'm on the DayQuil
oh, gee, it's good Scott are ruined the show
is good stuff. Everybody. I don't want a quill
I said you had some other No, no,
no, that was that was quercetin for the mold. But I don't have
that anymore that I've kicked that it's like
oh yeah, but this of course it will also work for the other
allergens.
No, it doesn't doesn't know. Okay,
well I know it's outside of here all hell's breaking loose.
There's a million fire site.
I can tell I can I hear stuff breaking through the noise gate
which is right outside the house.
Here's a bunch of the Highway Patrol guys are all blockading
the road. The road in front of your house. No, we're just on
the freeway. Oh, okay. This is at a distance. Wow. Still
printing out here more cops coming. They get your guests a
big bus going I O
plus O J? Oh. Yeah.
In a white Bronco. Holy mackerel.
So this morning. It is of course a show day when the fun stuff
happens. I was torn. I was torn between doing the show. And
watching the Cavanaugh Dr. Ford hearing I almost didn't show up.
Skewed what a shitshow
is that is because it is so so enthralling.
It truly, I am so embarrassed as an American. You know, people
don't laugh at America for what Trump says the United Nations
laughing about our obsession with sex. It's all about sex.
Everything is sex, sex, xx penis. He put his penis in front
of her face.
And they're like that one. That's the new one. Yeah,
although
mainstream media never really reads the affidavit verbatim.
And then pull in a train. Ask him this. Did you ever put a
train? I mean, come on. We are sad, sad,
sad. Wouldn't be the male pulling the train. I'm telling
you. That's what the affidavit says.
He pulled the train. That means, you know?
Yes, I do. Thank you. I've been around.
Yes, you would that would mean in terms of him? Yes. I know
what that would mean. But I'm just telling you what the
affidavit stated that. That Avenatti who, by the way, is the
perfect actor for this shit show. You could not have cast
this guy better. I mean, in fact, everyone, even Ford. She's
great casting. It's exactly what you want from this witness. And
if I'm if I'm not mistaken, I'm seeing that the Republican
senators have this female prosecutor who asks their
questions. So they don't ask the questions. They actually say
okay, Mister so and so your turn and then this female prosecutor
asks the senators question, but I think that the women who are
on the panel, they do get to ask the question.
Well, this was obvious. This is a ploy
if the whole thing is embarrassingly stupid. The whole
thing?
Oh, come on. I think it's fabulous.
Yeah. Well, no, it's it's not good because it happens on the
show day, and it won't make any sense to us, you know, it ruins
it.
It probably would be a time killer. Anyway,
let me just get one thing straight that people have to
understand. And I cite from the US Constitution, Article Three
section one. And the reason I quote from this is there's one
big mistake or inaccuracy that has been perpetrated everywhere.
The job of six Supreme Court justice is not for life. It's
not you can get removed.
You can get impeached.
Yes. And let me give you the piece from the Constitution. I
think it's a it's a important. So again, Article Three, section
one, the judges kind of both of the supreme and inferior courts
shall hold their offices during good behavior. So anything can
be misconstrued as not good behavior. I guess somewhere down
the line. So it's not like it's set in stone you can't be
removed. just irks me that it's always all. It's gonna be for
the rest of his life. It's a lifetime appointment. We'll live
with this man forever. Yeah, what is what is it with with
with Americans and sex?
Well, the Europe Give me a break. You think the British
aren't this are worse, the British are worse when they have
a sex scandal. It becomes every one of those newspapers has on
the front page and all kinds of things. You know?
Yes. Yeah. But but at least in Britain, it's always about men
buggering little boys. And what's really scandalous? You
know, this just
true. There's plenty of sex scandals in the UK that are
actual heterosexual scandals, even though it's probably you
probably right generally. Now, besides having the cops all over
the place. There's like 1000 Cops down there. And now there's
a Murder of Crows flying around the house.
Is that the technical term? A Murder of Crows? Yeah. How many
in a murder
50. Maybe more.
That doesn't seem very exact.
Okay, let's just any group and they, they have a meeting. These
crows are crazy. They group up and have these meetings and they
meet. It's just it's like a gab Fest and it makes so much noise.
You just hope they don't do it. Oh, nearby. Of course we live in
a jungle. Yeah.
We can't comment on on anything that's happening today. And it
probably won't be that much to comment on. Other than we're
looking for Kavanaugh not to be confirmed. going negative be
confirmed today. No, no. But as it gets the voters tomorrow,
that doesn't really matter. I mean, to me, it seems like this
is going just swimmingly just the way the President hoped it
would go or not. You know, his idea was, well, you know, if
Kavanaugh gets through, he'll be good. But they're probably going
to rip them to shreds. So I'll put the woman on later. Yeah,
let me I can always put this you can see he couldn't do it the
other way around. Because if you put Amy on first and she got
torn down for whatever sex scandal you
want Amy on there she is young.
No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's my point. My point
is, whoever this is the sacrificial lamb. But if
Kavanaugh makes it through, I guess Trump's thought good
judge. You don't want to miss Amy. You're right. She's the one
you want on? And, you know, Ginsberg is not going to just
not going to be around forever. No, she's
not going to last two Trump's I don't think so. Last year. 20. I
don't think so either. I don't think so either. I mean, not
that she's gonna die. But she'll just be tired. She's tired.
She's very, very tired.
She's sleeping all the time. She sleeps on the bench. She sleeps
at the meetings is just asleep.
Let me play a couple of clips of the M five M media's surrounding
this historic day. We're all just all is all God with it. And
well, let's start with the with the actor that you could not
cast any better Avenatti
to has absolutely nothing to do with this. By the way. He's just
kind of jumped in. Well, he
hasn't. He has a third accuser. Yeah, he's
got some headphones.
He got He's a trained guy. He's
got he's a Publicity Hound. He's
got the train accuser, who's who actually says wasn't Kavanaugh.
But he was there,
Chris, I just think it's absolutely unbelievable. And I
think the American people are smarter than this. You cannot
reconcile the individual in the Fox News interview with the
individual who wrote what he wrote in his yearbook. You
cannot reconcile the individual on Fox News with the individual
that was joined at the hip with Mark, Judge throughout the years
at issue, you just can't those you cannot reconcile those two.
And I don't believe that America is going to believe what Brett
Kavanaugh just stated on Fox News. And I also want to say
this. So what exactly is he saying? Is he saying that he did
not have sexual intercourse? And are we going to get into a debt
to the word of you? Exactly. Well, exactly. I mean, are we
going to get into a definition of sexual intercourse? I mean,
does that mean that he performed oral sex or had oral sex
performed on him in any host of any other sexual activities? Or
does he want America to believe that the only thing that he did
until well into his college years was effectively kiss or
French kiss a woman? Is that what he wants Americans to
believe?
This is the level that we've got. into this. This is the I
know it is clipped. It's unbelievable, because
I don't believe it. But
what if this? Dude, is that clear him?
Well, I don't believe it. And I think it shows that he's lying
and I am aware I am aware of.
I think it shows he's lying because I don't believe it. I
mean this, this is literally what's going on right now many,
many witnesses that will testify that that is an absolute lie as
counselor to this woman or women, you're going to have to
put up some proof that shows he's not telling the
truth. And
100% That is our burden, and we're going to embrace it, and
we're going to meet it and I'm confident that he does
this a lot. That's our burden. We're going to embrace it, we're
going to meet it, by the way am 4chan There's a claim on 4chan
that this was a setup and someone called the guy and and
basically spoof this whole train accusation, but he's got the
burden, they're going to meet it.
Dr. Ford is going to embrace it and read it. And I think that
there's going to be others that are going to embrace it and meet
that standard. But this Fox News interview and the statements
that Brett Kavanaugh just stated tonight, I think will ultimately
be shown to be 100% demonstrably false
thing that that strikes me and just following all the coverage,
this mark judge guy, what's his name, Mark, judge the French so
this guy seems like a bad actor. He's, you know, it's like he was
there. He Everyone knows him. The doctor knows him. That this
is the guy I'd be worried who I'd be worried if I was him.
Anyway, so how did all this come about? Ronan Farrow, who has
done some fantastic work in New Yorker magazine for the hashtag
me to movement kind of went a little off his trajectory here
with this. And he was interviewed by George
Stephanopoulos and ABC and he lit something Foley very
interesting. Well, not surprising, but interesting
about these about the second accuser.
Let me press you on that consistent, it's really did jump
out at me when I read the article. She says that after six
At first, she wasn't sure. This was Kavanaugh, when you first
came to her last week. And then you write after six days of
carefully assessing her memories. And consulting with
her attorney, she did become confident that it was him. You
know, a lot of Georgia
would say that that's extremely typical of these stories when
you're dealing with trauma, alcohol many years in between. I
think that the more cautious witnesses that I've dealt with
in cases like this, very frequently say I want to take
time to decide I want to talk to other people involved. I want to
search myself and make sure that I can affirmatively stand by
these claims, in the face of what she knew would be a
crucible of partisan pushback, which is what she's receiving.
Now. Why did she come forward? She came forward because Senate
Democrats began looking at this claim she did not flag this for
those Democrats that were to the attention of people on the Hill
independently. And it's really cornered her into an awkward
position.
So the Senate Democrats went looking for it. Thank you,
Ronan. That makes nothing but sense. So
grown, it's gonna get set up for a
fall. Big fall. Yeah, yeah. I agree. It went out of too far on
a limb here.
It's too is getting kind of full of himself as the great, you
know, the Great,
the great liberator and yeah, he's gotta be careful. Now, it
was so unhinged. And I mean, we could play clips all day long,
of how we make this fit within everyone's movie. And by the
way, just looking at the first hour this morning. This woman
clearly believes what she's saying. There's no doubt about
that. And I'm sure the judge is believing what he's saying.
Although, you know, people can't write. I can't remember some we
did on the last show, let alone 3637 years ago, and part of
growing up is crazy shit happens. Certainly in those
teams. You know, I did Mark Redmond Redmond, Mark Redmond
who lived down the block from you when I was six or seven. And
he would do two things. One, he would play the citizen game.
Which consisted of hey, you want to play the sit in game and no
matter what I said he would then sit on my head, which was very
uncomfortable and I thought I didn't think I was going to
suffocate. And he also liked to throw darts in my shins. He's a
big bully. Yeah, just a bully. Yeah, what happened? Dark and
um, yeah, and they would stick in my shins to
make a lot of kids who'd like to throw matches out yet?
Oh, yes. Kids would throw lady fingers and that into the hood
of your jacket. Anyway, so even when people say not, you know
the four witnesses that the doctor brought out about or
mentioned in her in her initial claim. All four of them say I
wasn't at the party. I don't know anything about it. But that
doesn't stop people from saying hey, this proves it. This proves
that is to me just listen to the the twisted pneus of it. This
way I think Jack Jake Tapper, and he had former Governor
Jennifer Grantham is that her name? Granholm.
Granholm? Yeah. Granholm,
yeah, yeah, I was just surprised this you would say this. Listen,
we have
now four individuals who have come forward who were named by
Professor Ford, who were at that party, and all for Cavanaugh,
judge Smith and her friend, Leland Leland Kaiser have all
said they don't remember anything like this ever
happened. And Leland Kyle's Kaiser who says she believes
ford says that she doesn't even remember ever being at a party
where a cabinet was present. Right. And
that actually corroborates Ford's story, which is that she
was so horrified by this, that she kind of snuck out or slunk
out of this apartment. You got to listen to the guy to listen
to it.
Go into premise. Everybody says this didn't happen and somehow
this corroborated,
corroborated, corroborated it listen to her logic all the way
to the end.
Leland Leland Kaiser have all said they don't remember
anything like this ever happened. And Leland Kaiser
Kaiser who says she believes ford says that she doesn't even
remember ever being at a party where Kavanaugh was present.
Right. And that actually corroborates Ford's story, which
is that she was so horrified by this, that she kind of snuck out
or slunk out of this apartment is in a way that no one would
know what happened because she was so utterly mortified.
It corroborated that they didn't know anything happened because
she snuck out so facts of proof something checked off. I don't
know. It's not Yeah, it's all very very, very sad.
You're still stalling shouldn't give Trump's rights a con job.
Well, I got some stuff on the Trump will help us with here but
Julia brand did 10 minutes on the floor and I could have
picked any random
35 so I have the one clip I liked from her.
I just picked the beginning. Now.
The best part is I believe her because she's telling the truth.
I didn't clip that. I'm sorry. I believe
her because she's telling the truth.
We have a nominee for a lifetime appointment to the highest court
in the land, who has been accused credibly of sexual
assault. credibly, Dr. Blasio reluctantly came
out of Sedona. I mean, that's it's all it's filled with that
kind of stuff it
duty, and said that Brett Kavanaugh tried to rape her in
high school. She is now facing death threats for her courage
and her worst fear. How should we be treated by this body have
come to fruition. Another woman, Deborah Ramirez agreed to tell
her story after being contacted by a reporter. Again risking her
career and her safety and said that Brett Kavanaugh exposed
himself to her face in college while laughing as part of a game
as part of a game I didn't hear the game part
yeah, I didn't know it's part of the game maybe the Truth or Dare
expose himself to her face in college as part of a game. I
just love the cadence of it.
You know what I like is the fact that the Democrats here can use
the using the hearings as a double edged sword one edge is
that there's the Republicans are Nazi and they're violent and
Trump's there's a lot of violence because it's all these
Nazis. I mean, it's just this violence meme is throughout her
life been threatened with the FBI on that that's true. And she
got to over $200,000 in donations on GoFundMe for a
security detail. You know, this whole thing.
The GoFundMe is the best. It's the best. And you can pay people
off you can do whatever you want right out there in the public
transparent no one no one knows what's going on. It's it's
really good. I have a number of other things here. Let's Fox
just a little thing from Fox. Well, a nice job for your crew.
Michael. Michael, thank you very much. I'm here to set a gap for
10 seconds. I mean, final thoughts Bill Cosby handcuffs.
It's done.
It's powerful, very powerful image powerful press conference.
I think this is a victory not just for Ms. Con stand, but all
of Cosby's other alleged victims and really, all other victims of
sexual assaults. We are in a new era. This is the metoo era.
Victims will be believed they will receive justice and they
should speak out and tell the truth.
I think this is a real problem for the Cavanaugh, the situation
with with Cosby being convicted, being led off in handcuffs and
new people. I think Scott Adams would probably say that that's
that kind of message persuades people to think about Kavanaugh
being guilty as well. Trump did a an a press conference, which
was I mean, we could just sit there. I mean, I can listen to
that all day, to the words English pronounces to the things
you said. I mean, it's it and my mouth falls open. I'm just like,
wow, this is great.
This this thing. The thing about the press guy, you know, if we
assume that Trump has been our thesis is that this guy was the
straw man set up to just get beat up? Yeah. Probably warned
in advance, you're gonna get beat up? Well, I think I can
handle it. If the whole thing is just to move on to Amy, sooner
than later, they're gonna move on to her eventually.
It is. And I think he gave it away in this press conference. I
think he totally totally played his hand. It could it came on
kind of out of nowhere. He didn't have to do what he said.
And here it is,
you know, it can happen the other way allegations can go the
other way. Also, you understand that. And whether it was a man
or a woman 30 years ago, 36 years ago. In fact, they don't
even know how many years ago because nobody knows what the
time is. That's a long time. And I could pick as an example.
Hopefully, I won't have to do it as a replacement. Because
hopefully this is going to go very well on Thursday, it's
gonna go very well on Monday or Saturday or Sunday or whenever
they vote. But I could pick a woman. And she could have
charges made from many years ago also. But don't you and I would
look at the character now. What I have to do
are reluctant to come forward. You've raised doubts about these
accusers. Many of them,
I don't think people are reluctant to come forward,
they're going to have a chance to speak at a meet they have a
major chances Excuse me, excuse me. They have a major chance to
speak. And it will be tomorrow. I assume. We've delayed this
meaning the Republican senators, not me. Three Republican
senators have delayed this for weeks now. They're giving women
a major chance to speak. Now it's possible. I'll hear that
and I'll say, Hey, I'm changing my mind. That is possible. We
want to give them a chance to speak the author and they're
given hands
on acid. It seems like
yes, just interrupt he does. He apparently did learn to
Kellyanne Conway trick which I've never seen him do before,
of saying, Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me to stop someone from
interrupt, especially when Jim Acosta just I don't I can't
imagine why he's even talking to that guy. But anyway.
So anyway, so I think the President gave it away right
there. That's been the plan the whole time. And the only way I
can it was a hedge. It's like, hey, you know, we're gonna do
this will put in a really quality guy, but he might or
gal, but that person could probably get chopped down for a
whole bunch of reasons we got to try and do before the midterms.
But we want to save the best because Ginsburg is going to go
anyway. So Amy would get on no matter what. So it's kind of
can't lose. And I guess he thinks he ignites his base if if
they can't get him confirmed before. beforehand. Yes.
Because the to get people out to vote. Yeah. The Democrats have
been pounding the pavement to get people out to vote. But
there's with the economy booming, which it should
continue to do past midterms. I think. Well, now, now it's
running a little late. I mean, we had nine and a half years
into it, so called bull market is about
why Wait, isn't it 88 2008 2018 is not the cycle, isn't it? Like
we are on a 10 year cycle we had 87 was 87 or 88. It was 87. We
had the October 87.
The 87 crash was was a flash flash crash that we had that
really corresponds to an ad or cycle from two to 1907 kind of
thing.
Oh, I concur with my dear colleague. Yes. It's not you
know, seven. I mean, what am I thinking? Right? But it's always
seven is is that this economy is being is like the plates in the
air. It's because you're at that dad ad. Yep. Spinning the plates
spinning
the plates.
And so they have this going on? And it'll be interesting to see
what happens if that. I mean, it could crash in October. That's a
classic month. Yes. It's
the best month it's a crash. So back back to the pressure. And
then I want to get back to Kavanaugh for a second with a
couple other clips. But the Jim Acosta did the worst virtue
signaling thing I've ever seen. It was so stupid. And it was in
the context of him asking questions and actually the
question just heard came after that. We always have about,
about the sexual assault. And but just to virtue signal to
everyone that he stands up to the president who hates women.
You know, he hates women right there. Nazi orange hideous, vile
Yeah, no. Yeah. hates women hates Jews hates blacks. There's
not much left to hate. Hates pretty much everybody. Yeah,
except me, because I'm an old straight white dude. I'm in the
pocket. Listen to what Jim Acosta said,
thank you very much. If you don't mind, after I'm finished,
if we juror Hallie or Vivian or one of our female colleagues
could go after me, that would be great. As President just to
follow up on these allegations against
what does he mean by that? Explain? What what is what does
that mean? I think be great. If a female what does it mean? What
does it mean to
be great if a female reporter would ask you a question about
the this issue?
What so what he's saying is after I'm done, after the man
here is done, could you you probably should let some women
go. He doesn't even realize how stupid he sounds. It's terrible.
I mean, he literally says after I'm done here, listen, thank
you very much. If you don't mind, after I'm finished,
after I'm finished, you should probably ask a woman about this.
You know, it's like I'm trying to promote women here after me.
What a dick. He is a total. Disgusting. That is bad.
NPR did something I found interesting. Although not
terribly innovative. They got a whole bunch of high school kids,
today's 15 year olds and ask them some questions about this
Kavanaugh hearing and the situation. Wow. And actually,
they think these kids are from the ones the guy you'll hear is
from the same school, Cavanaugh went to the prep school. And the
girls are from the same school that Judge Ford went to
innovative? No, they really went all out at NPR. Let's do this.
And I thought the results were predictable with Judge Ford. No,
it's Dr. Ford. It's
judge Cavanaugh judge for it.
Thanks for the correction.
I think that the first reaction is that it's pretty crazy. That
it's like my school. So involved in Georgetown prep is so
involved, especially because like, I have a lot of friends
who went to prep.
And I'd be prepared for a lot of up talking.
I think it's really admirable how much the whole thing
community immediately stood behind. Christine Blasi Ford.
Okay. Jacques Torres. I mean, what about you?
The school did not start talking about it immediately. I mean,
most people didn't even know who Kavanaugh was, or that there is
an open seat on Supreme Court. That's my favorite. We didn't
even know there was an open seat on the Supreme Court, honestly.
But then, as it you know, started headlining more and more
often and people started posting about it, and especially the
more activist students in our school, people started talking
about it more definitely. Okay. And
so what's the nature of those conversations? I mean, what are
people saying?
I think people are talking about how, what one, what you do in
high school affects the rest of your life, and to the way that
people are perceiving high school students on a national
level and the way that the GOP Senate is talking about us?
This is really fascinating to me. So this is not about men and
women and power and sex as a weapon. No, no, it's all about
them. Hey, hey, they're talking about us. I was like, Oh, be
careful what you do now that can mess you up for the rest of day
don't care. They do not care what happened or did not happen.
They're not don't even know. This is Is this not like a
prominent Preparatory School. They don't even they didn't even
know the newest opening or
some sort of trend of that generation, which is the new
think
and very condescending way. That's been unappreciated by my
school talking. I
think that the the male Hummers have been under under exposed on
the no agenda show. I'm glad that we have him
about us in this very condescending way. That's
not appreciated. Talk to me more about what do you mean? They've
just been saying stuff about how, you know, high schoolers
don't know anything about consent and just kind of
referring to us as if we're like, ignorant and and that we
don't know what we're talking about. But almost every high
schooler I know knows the difference between what
Kavanaugh did and Oh, relationship. And so the fact
that people have sort of been pretending like that's not true,
has been offensive to a lot of the high schoolers in high
school. Definitely.
So let me just jump in here. I'm gonna have to continuously say
what he's alleged to have done what he is claiming that he's
done.
That was also very telling, I found the guy
was telling the fact that this kid is supposed to be so all
knowing and then he dropped makes the mistake of doing that
and he gets caught by the reporter, which I was. I'm glad
that happened. Yes. And then he backs off real quick, but yeah,
he's an idiot.
So a lot of like the voice Oh, they're all like this. This all
of them every and these, I think, are very privileged
children. Are these and these are private schools had
caught Devo said this condescending it's like that
Connecticut accent but it's all Buffy you know Buffy what's also
DC here today for the for the tea? I don't know. I think
you're also hearing DC DC is filled with douchebags with
douchebag children. And and, and later we'll get to it but Power
Man, it doesn't matter what kind of power you have it. It's very
attractive to people and it's very intoxicating to people who
have it. And, John, I've been around long enough to see all
the crazy shit that people with power do. It can be a CEO, it
can be a politician. It can be all it's just it's that's human
nature. Now we're finally seeing how it works. Here is one of the
girls at the at the Dr. Ford School, who also wrote and
signed her name to the letter of support, then you'd like to know
why at least that seems like an obvious question. Well, so
why did you decide to write this letter? By the way, I should
just remind folks that the love letter that you wrote is titled,
we are 15 year old girls, we are with you, Christine Blasi Ford.
I mean, why did you decide to write it?
When we heard about the allegations, we felt really
passionate about it. Because again, we are 15. And it was
something so personal to us. So we wrote the letter because we
wanted
they are all deflecting, it's all about them. And she can't be
a guilty because of us.
And it was something so personal to us. So we wrote the letter
because we wanted this perspective, because the way
that people were treating this trial on the allegations was
very, they were overlooking that she had humanity and she was a
person. We just felt that empathy for her and you wanted
to pass that on to adult and other teenagers and everyone.
She had humanity and she's a person. So we just wanted to
pass that on.
Yeah. And Jack, you're shaking your head.
She can't even finish the sentence and the report goes
to adults and other teenagers and everyone.
Yeah. And a Jack, you're shaking your head. You're nodding your
head. Yes. Yeah,
definitely. Definitely. Definitely, definitely. Awesome
letter. And I think that that was an awesome idea. We're glad
to support Christine Blasi Ford with you.
An awesome letter was an awesome idea could be a complete fraud.
It could be a murderer. She could be a murderer. Fraud,
murder.
They're all on board be murderers are humans
too. Yes. Yes, humanity. She has humanity.
And she's a person.
Now let's talk a little bit about this single sex school
social culture. I
mean, Andre is just talking to us about single sex schools. I
don't know is your school single sex or as a co Ed? It's kinda
it's COVID Okay, so I mean, tell us a little bit about I mean, if
you can, sort of what the the social culture is like their
the social culture is very focused on gender roles, which
is something that really not it supports sexual assault, and
it's just, it makes our culture so much worse when it comes to
rape culture. And it's just something that it's really hard
to avoid, but it's something that we should be trying and
focusing to stop.
Well, so I just want to read a comment to you Leila that we got
on our website. It's from someone called Honest to debate
to and this person says, quit traumatizing these poor high
school girls by turning them into inevitable victims empower
them instead, this effort to paint males as president
predators and females as pure is simply insane. Once you react,
we respond to that person.
The letter empowered me and my two co workers so much that that
comment is just so I don't know. I can't it's just that was so
empowering. And to be able to have that voice is more
empowering than anything and so we're not painting men as
predators. This is who they are.
Oh, hold on, hold on. Hold on.
She says she says so a lot which is interesting. But yes, now
she's saying all men are creeps. Yeah,
it was so empowering and to be able to have that voice is more
empowering than anything and so we're not painting men as
predators. This is who they are. And fun for boys should never be
exploitation for girls and so will fun. And okay, stop.
You have to get the heck that clipped out for the for an ISO
what was she says? When I'm in this way they aren't.
It's just that was so empowering. And teaching
these kids these schools, I blame their teachers. This is
this is what the teacher
is able to have. That voice is more empowering than anything
and so we're not painting men as pet sitters. This is who they
are. And fun for boys should never be exploitation for girls.
And so we'll find
Lila, where are you? I mean, well.
This one just drops out from time to time she's like she
falls asleep just stops talking. Alright, final one with a new
term for us to learn lay the
lay the bag. Well, I mean, just gonna ask same question I asked
of Angelina. Are people getting our young people getting mixed
signals from our nation's leaders right now?
Oh, yes. The mixed signals clearly. Oh, yeah.
I think that there is some obvious sexism in that as we
tell boys that they were telling judge Cavanaugh that his
mistakes his actions were in high school, they don't matter
anymore. But yet we're telling people that we're telling
teenagers that they need to be responsible for their actions,
and it's just awful how that how adults get to pick and choose
what we're responsible for.
That's like a noodle boy thing. Adult noodle boy, adults get to
pick and choose what adults hotlink is what How dare those
adults but wait, there's a term for it
awful how they how adults get to pick and choose what we're
responsible for.
Tell me more about that.
Like, adult ism is very real.
Adult ism. That's the
adult is very real. Yes,
that's when you and I pick and choose what your kids should
care about. That's adult ism when it's called parenting, but
at the Newspeak, it's adult ism. You a whole adult is Do you Who
do you think you are? Well, I don't know. I raised you parents
you sucked all my my resources. All my money is gone. I'm a
parent. Yes. Now that's adult isn't parenting is adult ism.
Fear is freedom.
Like, adult ism is very real, as in, we overlook these
perspective, and we don't really empathize with them. And that is
a perspective that really needs to be seen. And that's why I'm
glad I'm doing this is
okay. Well, I'm pulling your, your tuition. How about that for
some adult ism,
he's for stuff that needs to be considered more. And I think we
could have a like, a lot more well rounded conversations about
this, if we really include it these perspective.
Yeah. We're talking with a terrific roundtable of teens
about what they make of this moment regarding the Kavanaugh
nomination and sexual assault allegations and how, you know,
we as a nation, our nation's leaders are handling it and what
lessons they're drawing from this moment. That's what the
let me give you a clip of the day for the adult isn't woman,
girl. I'll take that girl. And let's reiterate where this was
from. This was from on the media, NPR.
Okay, on the media that on the show that shows up on Sundays,
yes, yes. Yes. Yes. I'm surprised they would weren't
more flabbergasted than they were but at least they did stay
did hang in there to get the say adult ism or her
adult ism. It's a great word. You're so adult, just, you're an
adult is stirred. Well, that's probably about all we can say
about what's what's happening. I don't know. I mean, the idea is
he doesn't go through. That's the idea.
Well, I think your little clip of Trump kind of giving it all
away because he really can't resist. He gets enough hints
that people that if you're hearing him right in the know,
yeah, if you're if you're hearing the right stuff, if
you're not, you're just whatever. Now he Trump went to
the UN. Yes. And he gave what I thought was actually a very good
speech. Yeah, but it was ridiculed because he got to
somebody heckled him from the audience.
Yeah. And then he made he cracked the joke and everyone
laughed.
Yeah, he cracked a joke there and would go after was
interpreted by the night, late night comics as they were
laughing at him. He was an idiot. Do we have that on
the Trump rotation laughingstock of the world? Because that's
what has turned into that laughter that the mainstream has
turned it into. We're the laughingstock of the world. The
world laughs at you, Donald Trump.
I think actually, it's probably in the front.
rotation.com is the website. Yeah, Trump.
I don't think it's on there. Well, it
needs to be added. We have a lot on there but
I need to add a bunch of I keep putting on little sheets on the
back of envelopes. I definitely edit any grading system. I'll
put it on here. Have you heard of one note? Yeah, yeah. Okay,
there's a couple others missing on there. It was just me says
some email me some of the missing ones. We got that 100 on
there but just missing that back back to the UN speech. So now I
have like the kind of a long boring rundown that PBS and I
thought it was pretty good. But it's PBS Trump and sovereignty
is a long long clip that could be interrupted a few times. But
more importantly I have clip the speech itself, okay. Which has,
which is they left a lot of the good stuff out in this rundown
even though I thought it was a good rundown, but it was still
oriented toward toward Trump promoting the way that guy kept
saying it was so called sovereignty,
so called sovereignty but the Americans so called sovereignty.
Yeah, we have so called so called. No, we don't have you
seen the border.
So he has just so there was a doubt. It was pretty objective
except it was the the angle was it was like the angle of the
story was downplayed. It was as though is the guy's a lunatic.
And yeah, he had a few good things to say. And he told his
guys he told a lot of these guys off, he was actually pretty mean
spirited. And
he said a lot of nasty things. And he
wants to protect the country from you know, this global these
twice. He said globalism is bad. Yeah. But let's start, let's
this. Instead of going to that. Let's go to Trump. And I have
the Trump speech. This is the opener where somebody shouted
something and then he joked about it, and they gotta laugh.
Today, I
stand before the United Nations General Assembly to share the
extraordinary progress we've made. In less than two years, my
administration has accomplished more than almost any
administration in the history of our country. America's so true.
Didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay.
The thing is, I can totally hear it from Dimension B. I can
totally hear all they're laughing at him. Here. What an
idiot. I can hear it.
Well, there is not. I mean, yeah, easy to hear. And the
dimension B you get also have Trump as his braggadocio thing
is really gets on their nerves. Because one thing he's bragging
mostly about the I mean, he's writing about himself and his
accomplishments, whatever they may or may not be, some people
say there are none. That's what Hillary would said. And she did.
So on the Colbert show, I have a clip for it, if you think it's
an accomplishment to put your foot down with the China trade,
and you put your foot down with loss of industry, and if you put
your foot down about this, and about that, some people think
that's an accomplishment. Some people don't they just assume
this be a big, global and happy go lucky, world governed thing.
And we are all going to be fine for it. And that split is I
think, is more more I listen to this stuff. And the more I do
this show I've ticked a split is worse than we think it is. I
think that I think a good part of the American public would
just as soon be part of a of a global government is run by
somebody in Brussels just seriously, do you really think
so? I mean, half of Great Britain feels that way. Half a
Great Britain thinks it's fine to let the let the Belgians tell
us what to do. We'll be fine, we'll be happy. So as they send
us a check once in a while, I
think most of those people have disengaged, they just they just
disengaged and they just want to have someone else take care of
it. And they really don't care. It's not a part of their life.
Yeah, and they don't care if some Belgian tells him what to
do, which I find to be peculiar personally, but I'm an old fart,
apparently. But let's just let Trump finish up because he does
have a few messages in this little ditty.
America's economy is booming like never before. Since my
election, we've added $10 trillion in wealth. The stock
market is at an all time high in history. And jobless claims are
at a 50 year low. African American, Hispanic American and
Asian American unemployment have all achieved their lowest levels
ever recorded. We've added more than 4 million new jobs,
including half a million manufacturing jobs. We have
passed the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.
We've started the construction of a major border wall. And we
have greatly strengthened border security. We have secured record
funding for our military $700 billion this year. And $716
billion next year.
I find that very interesting how he says we have secured funding
for the malware for the funding for the military. Do you mean
you forced us to pay for it is what he's saying? Well, I mean,
they passed the bill so yeah, but you know, secured it's it's
it's a little too business likey for me.
Yeah, well, he's a business guy. No,
he's just but for me, it's like, hey, it's my money. It's the I
hate it when you spend it on that
$18 billion next year. Our military will soon be more
powerful than it has ever been before. In other words, the
United States is stronger, safer and a richer country than it was
when I assumed office less than two years ago.
Okay. Now, he starts to explain why. And it's why it's better is
because again, it's just basically he's put his foot down
about one thing or another. Let's start with this short clip
on migration.
That is one reason the United States will not participate in
the new Global Compact on migration. Migration should not
be governed by an international body, unaccountable to our own
citizens.
What is he referring to? Who is the does the UN want to do that?
Yeah, they want it they want to determine who can come into
every country? Yeah. Oh, great.
Ultimately, the only long term solution to the migration crisis
is to help people build more hopeful futures and a wall in
their home conscious make their countries great again,
do you know I could not find the clip anywhere in the story just
kind of went away. I believe the Dalai Lama. I don't know where
he was, he was in some other country. He came out and said,
hey, you know, people should go back to their own countries
after after a while. And that got completely snowed under
Oh, you don't want to have that going? Dalai Lama is. He's, this
is the global governance war. Right now. We're witnessing it.
Yeah. And Trump is giving a speech about it. So let's listen
to the socialism part of this. Currently,
we are witnessing a human tragedy. As an example, in
Venezuela, more than 2 million people have fled the anguish
inflicted by the socialist Maduro regime, and its Cuban
sponsors. Not long ago, Venezuela was one of the richest
countries on earth. Today, socialism, has bankrupted the
oil rich nation, and driven its people into abject poverty.
virtually everywhere, socialism, or communism has been tried. It
has produced suffering, corruption and decay, social
socialism, aims, thirst for power, leads to expansion,
incursion, and oppression. All nations of the world should
resist socialism, and the misery that it bring to everyone.
We're well on our way here,
though. And they showed up, they had a camera on the Sweden. Oh,
really?
Well, you know, the prime minister just got tossed out of
Sweden. Yeah. So it's the new guys coming in. He's gonna have
to form a government. That's great, the great socialist
country of Sweden. And just as a side note, the great socialist
country of Denmark, which as we know, is the best country in the
world next to Sweden. Aren't they the happiest in the world?
That the best the best? Everything's free. It's all
fantastic. Except, Oh, yeah. They're free health care, and
also does not include dental or optical. Oh, no. Disappointment.
By the way, that last tip, you heard will be played by no
mainstream media. Well, no. Why would we do that? So now he goes
on and on about about global governance. And he specifically
talks about, he brings up right now he's in the middle of
talking about the ICC, the International Criminal Court, he
says, we're not listening to these guys, or any of these
operations ever,
which started with Bush, I believe. Isn't that when they
when they I don't know. Yeah, we had the big descend. Of course,
Bush was a war criminal. They want to bring Cheney and Bush
and everybody to international criminal court form an
organization? Yes, no, no, we're not recognizing that court that
can send me to jail. No, of course, we don't recognize that.
As far as America is concerned, the ICC has no jurisdiction, no
legitimacy, and no authority. The ICC claims near universal
jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all
principles of justice, fairness and due process. We will never
surrender America sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable
global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans. We reject
the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of
patriotism. Around the world, responsible nations must defend
against threats to sovereignty, not just from global governance,
but also from Other new forms of coercion and domination?
Hmm, what new forms of coercion and domination would that be?
Now? Well, the rhino SpaceForce the subtext to that message was
Brexit. Ah, yeah. Gotcha. We're not gonna submit to some
bonehead bureaucrats someplace else. And that's really a
message to the, to the bureaucrats. Now, the nut of
this whole thing. I think, though, even though this is all
this was China, no doubt, it's the China thing. And I have the
China, part of it, and it is extremely rough is rough on
China, many leads into it in a very interesting way. This,
again, was not produced on any mainstream media.
And just yesterday, I stood with President moon to announce the
successful completion of the brand new US Korea trade deal,
and this is just the beginning. Many nations in this hall will
agree that the world trading system is in dire need of
change. For example, countries were admitted to the World Trade
Organization that violate every single principle on which the
organization is based. While the United States and many other
nations play by the rules, these countries use government run
industrial planning, and state owned enterprises to rig the
system in their favor. They engage in relentless product
dumping, forced technology transfer, and the theft of
intellectual property. The United States lost over 3
million manufacturing jobs, nearly a quarter of all steel
germs and 60,000 factories after China joined the WTO. And we
have racked up $13 trillion in trade deficits over the last two
decades. But those days are over. We will no longer tolerate
such abuse. We will not allow our workers to be victimized,
our companies to be cheated, and our wealth to be plundered and
transferred. America will never apologize for protecting its
citizens. The United States has just announced tariffs on
another $200 billion in Chinese made goods for total so far of
$250 billion. I have great respect and affection from my
friend President Xi. But I've made clear our trade imbalance
is just not acceptable. China's market distortions and the way
they deal cannot be tolerated. As my administration has
demonstrated, America will always act in our national
interests.
Yes, only two speeds. Yeah.
Well, style he's got two styles. The conversational style is a
lot different,
right? But But what happens when he's in the in the slow speed?
Is he starts to slur and words don't come out. Right. But when
he died like that, and died in China, then everything it's a
thing with him. He has to be loud and otherwise it doesn't
come out. Right. Yeah. That's how you get an ominous. That's
how you get that stuff.
Well, he had that long as you heard ish. Yeah, it was it was
nice, like that. But this was his throwing down the gauntlet
right here. This particular well,
it can just stay with China for a second. I just like to go back
to his presser. We also said something about China with new
information. Is that okay, and then we'll come back to this.
Yeah, earlier today. And just now you made a significant
allegation against the Chinese government. You suggested that
the Chinese had meddled in or our
mess, right. That's what I hear. What I hear what do you have
that? So is there
a we have evidence it'll come out or? Yeah, I can't tell you
now. But it came. It didn't come out of nowhere that I can tell
you. Now, if you they've actually admitted that they're
going after farmers. I mean, I think most of you can cover
that. I like that you're shaking your head. Yes. I'm gonna ask
you the next question because of that. Okay. It's probably going
to be the killer of all questions. But But let me just
explain
the evidence. There's China now. Put on $250
billion, and they're paying 25% on that they're paying billions
and billions. This has never happened to China. And I like
China. And I like President Xi a lot. I think he's a friend of
mine. He may not be a friend of mine anymore, but I think he
probably respects from what I hear. If you look at Mr.
Pillsbury the leading authority on China he was on a good show.
I won't mention the name of the show.
He does this a lot. He said, I won't mention the network. I
won't mention the name of the show. I won't mention the
person. Why does he do that? What is it? What is this? This
is it's like a tick. And whenever he mentioned something,
and the reason
I don't know what it is, I mean, I'm sure we can figure out what
it is. But I don't know off the top of my head. But he's, he
probably gets criticized for SARS. Fox.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I gotcha.
On China. He was on a good show. I won't mention the name of the
show recently, and he was saying that China has total respect for
Donald Trump and for Donald Trump's very, very large brain.
He said. The quote of the year,
said, yeah, there's some document documentation to the
Chinese. Chinese people they go into China started asking
around, they all love this guy.
And they think he has a big brain. But yeah, but yet the way
this was turned around again, just go get clip after clip if
you want. Donald Trump said he has a big brain. Yeah. It's not
what he but its fans. I wish someone had said that about me.
Let me say that all day, you say the China man over this, and I
got a big brain. Fantastic. All right. That was my internet. So
I know, I just stopped there because it was like he. He makes
Let's summarize what he said there. He's, and I forgot to
clip that myself. I'm glad you got it. Yeah. You said they're
meddling in our life. Chinese have said they're going to
meddle in the elections, and they have better capability, or
at least as good at capabilities.
But they've already done it. In Iowa. He referred to the farmers
in Iowa, they took out an ad in the newspaper. Yeah, yeah.
That's against the election rules.
Yes. So there are the newspaper take gladly take the money. Of
course, there's, the Chinese don't like Trump, and they want
to put us back on the globalist track, if possible, and there's
more I think about it. Listening to his speech at the UN is that
is a pretty daunting thing he's trying to do which is to get us
and the top globalism
Stop, stop the globalization of everything which which, by the
way, was also a major trend before World War One.
I have to I have to hear the PBS stuff now. Because I'll bet is a
bet is dynamite.
Depth now that you've heard that you do have one more I have a
homeland pitch, which I have is a minus one, which is a music
clip, I can drop. So let's drop that. And then the PBS clip is
long, but you can interrupt it and we can talk about it. And
you can see the deadweight you can see the difference in the in
what Trump was doing and what they're saying they would they
say he's doing they have a lot of his clips in there. Not the
best
one, presumably the world press documented what he actually said
to the United Nations General Assembly, presumably they
listened to what he said and didn't just stop after the first
minute saying, Hmm, we've got the soundbite. They're laughing
at him. We're done. All right, everybody that's that's a wrap.
Yeah, and spoke to the United Nations today and sought again
to explain his America first views to the rest of the world
and to outline threats as he sees them.
Right there. He wasn't talking about America first. He was
saying not globalism. I think there's I think there's a
interpret No,
I disagree. Okay. I think you could not he wasn't talking
about but you can interpret it because he is saying we want to
protect our sovereignty when protected. Okay. All right. Do
you want to protect our borders? We want to protect ourselves
from this and and we want don't want to get ripped off. We don't
want to do put it all together all America first. Okay, got it.
But as Nick Schifrin reports from the UN, Mr. Trump's us,
above all philosophy was being challenged repeatedly by other
leaders.
Above all Hitler reference.
President Trump walked into a room he wants to chat for us as
a club where people have a good time and rejected the UN's
internationalism for renewed nationalisms, that
sovereign and independent nations are the only vehicle
where freedom has ever survived. Democracy has ever endured,
where peace has ever pressed.
But among the world's highest level gathering of leaders with
President Trump called sovereignty has been deeply
unpopular. He pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement signed
by 196 countries. He pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal
negotiated with Europe and over Arab and European objections, he
moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. The President calls
those decisions achievements, but he got them off to an
inauspicious start
systematically less than two years. My administration what is
in auspicious mean?
Rocky has accomplished
more than almost any administration in the history of
our country.
Someone in the audience yells something laughs so true.
We didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay.
But President Trump was unapologetic and repeatedly
defended his worldview.
We reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the
doctrine of patriotism.
It was left to Europe to defend multilateralism. French
President Emmanuel Macron spoke for nearly 40 minutes and call
President Trump's reference is sovereignty the veil for
unilateralism and we do you'd like to know,
at least directly to the isolationism into conflict.
Generalized clashes, men against men do not accept the erosion of
multilateralism don't accept our history unraveling.
multilateralism, unilateral, so these just different words for
globalism and nationalism.
Not really, but it's like it's like a stepping stone to the
other words, it's very Woodward McCrone speech bitching about
when he keeps talking about unilateralism mean you do you
act on your own for your own benefit? Another what should you
do a deal with somebody? You just do the deal?
multilateralism obviously you have a whole bunch of people get
together means you're not totally green and you're
not. You're not considerate. You're not considerate of other
people and the
Brexit thing of course, which is really a subtext to all of this.
The people that are Brexit cheers or unit this is turning
Britain back to a unilateral company, they got to do their
own deals they got to do they get it you know, instead of
working as a collective, you could say you could use the
words I think simultaneous or parallel to collectivism, this
you know, he Trump's anti collectivist right and we want
to be collectivist where we all get together he multilateral you
know we're all going to be one big kumbaya we're gonna have one
guy running the whole world that's what we want one guy
running the whole world. That's the way to go.
I'm not getting
what could possibly go wrong
head to our children are watching.
McCrone received an extended ovation, as the UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres warned against a key called
authoritarian national and implicitly criticized President
Trump's policy of separating children at the US border.
This is like going to Starfleet Command. And now and just
shouting, I
find it incredibly abhorrent. That this is the head of the UN
this guy, you know, they signed the guise of Yeah, he would
bring this separating children thing out, which we've done. And
most people know, began in the 90s. As a as a court ordered the
opinion that had to be enforced to hope stop,
no, no, no, you're wrong, because now we're ripping them
out of their mother's arms.
It's different. And then the court ordered opinion. And that
was what was in play during the entire Obama administration. And
he deported a lot of people that weren't discussed too much. And
it was done in this going on for this guy to essentially lie. to
this to this audience is beyond me. I don't understand how
people are talking to presses and all over this, but now
you're putting the League of Nations very high on a pedestal
Mr. Devorah.
Tetris warned against a key called authoritarian and
implicitly criticized President Trump's policy of separating
children at the US border.
Those who see their neighbors as dangerous may cause a threat
where there was none. Those who close their borders to regular
migration only fueled the work of traffickers
Iranian regime robs its own people to pay for death and
destruction abroad.
Across town. The US is top diplomat and National Security
Adviser appeared before a group that's advocated for Iranian
regime change. The US is pursuing a pressure campaign
against Iran that's driven Iran's currency her record lows
and flooded currency exchanges. Iran is also coping with
protests by Iranians criticizing government corruption. Today,
President Trump suggested he was forcing Iran to negotiate.
And Iran is a much different country today than it was a year
ago. I think that at some point, we will have meaningful
discussions and probably do a deal. I don't see how it works
for them otherwise,
Europeans are meeting with Iran to try and get around US
sanctions. But many companies including European Airbus have
pulled out of Iran.
Did they not have any sound bites of the Rouhani?
I heard him Rouhani is coming up.
And today Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, rejected
dialogue with the US on Git
is ironic that the US does not even conceal its plan for
overthrowing the same government and invites to talk. On what
basis and criteria can we enter into a negotiation with such a
government so all day
President Trump did the rounds and gave toasts to the UN. But
he did not spare his criticism, including against historic US
allies. He says rip off the US on trade and defense,
we defend many of these nations for nothing, and foreign aid.
Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to
those who respect us. And, frankly, our our friends,
the Western Europeans, the Canadians, the UN itself will
continue to talk about multilateralism. But their
leaders have continuously failed to convince President Trump to
change course. And they admit they can't preserve what's been
called the Western liberal order on their own without the
witness. So the best thing they can do is buy time, as the US
focuses on what it calls sovereignty.
I was, I was wondering if we're gonna get a liberal world order
in there, but like the Western liberal order,
this little last sentence he had, I probably didn't hear it,
let it play the end of it against you and get that
sovereignty thing in there. Oh, yeah, the
President of the United Nations
without the US. And so the best thing they can do is buy time as
the US focuses on what it calls sovereignty.
What it calls sovereignty, that we have no sovereignty dick,
this is exact report. By the way, this is exactly what's
happening with with Poland right now. Where the, you know, the
Starfleet Command Council and Timmermans, leading the way, are
cracking down on Poland, you know, because Poland,
essentially is going to gerrymander their justices,
their judges by changing the retirement age. So 27 of the 72
have to retire. And that's being seen as meddling in the in the
justice system system. And so they pulled out an article seven
card on Poland and Poland went and whatever. And so now it's a
showdown. And now they're going to cut off money to Poland. And
the whole idea of the European Union, I was there when they
sold it was, you know, you have your own laws, you can have your
own, you can do your own thing. We're just, uh, don't pay no
attention when just over here up on the top, send us your money.
And now they're now they're putting it's all about trade.
Yes, of course. There's all about money all about money.
Really, by now, a couple of things you mentioned in there,
he's the Trump and his foreign aid. He says, This is not a you
know, the oh my god, what is he saying? We're not going to give
foreign aid to people who hate us. This was a campaign promise.
Yeah. Yeah. He was the Republicans, by the way, the
Republican base has been big. If you read any conservative
literature, and they don't. For decades, they've been bitching
and moaning. Why are we given money to our enemies? Why do we
just give so much even though a lot of the money we're giving so
then so called foreign aid is really part of the economic
hitman ski used to lock people down? So I mean, it's not
necessarily as simple as he likes to make it out, even
though the base loves it. The other one was the comment from
Rouhani and or the of the narrator about what Trump was
talking about saying that they just need to buy time. In other
words, this globalist thing is bigger than Trump just
wait until we get rid of him then we'll
be back on track and move into jobs back to China and putting
the American public into poverty be fantastic.
That seems kind of the plan. Yeah. Yeah.
Because that way you know they they're gonna vote Democrat and
because poor people do that but
but I mean, just look at our own country. I don't see I don't see
the change John, I don't see it's not going to happen to
Trump can jump up and down and you know, there's let's just say
it's down the middle. So 50% are like yeah, this is how we like
it. And this is great. And this is America, this is what we feel
like and the other half are just always always always going to be
completely hating it. And that's done forever. I don't see that.
I don't see the
education system persists or not teaching American history. Yeah,
that's what we're going to end well there's one of those kids
who don't like the country they liked themselves more than
anything else like a lot of self esteem this newest group to Z
group that we talked about earlier in the show is real bad
sign that doesn't bode well
that's not bode well at all. Yeah,
I want to give you an update. Okay, we do have
to take a break but you're
letting you slow after the break. Oh, yeah, let's do the
update. Okay, there's about there's probably 20 Cops still
blocking the same thing and that and incense for at least a half
an hour, there has been a fire ambulance and a fire truck just
sitting there turn on the scanner heard something on the
scanner, John. And there's it's just a bunch of dentists.
They're waiting and it's like, there's so many I'm guessing
somebody's got a bomb or they're gonna blow themselves up or Oh,
and I have no idea because it looks like a bomb action.
Are you safe though, John, are you safe out there? Stay safe.
Stay safe. Okay. And with that, I just like to thank you for
your courage and saying the morning to you John. John C
Devor I could put the CD in ICC Dvorak. There we go.
Yes, I'm out of the way in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in
the morning to all the boots on the ground their feet in the
air, the subs in the water and all the Dames and all the nights
out
in the morning to the troll room. No agenda stream.com are
trolls always there you can depend on him trolling away
being very helpful and sometimes not helpful. We'd love them just
as much. Now also in the morning to Darren O'Neill. He is the
artist for the album art for episode 1071. The title of 1070
on was Comey Comey. And Darren said there was a lot of good art
actually. Yeah, we that was a tough one. We liked what Darren
had done with the no agenda stencils on the tents, which is
our latest get rich quick scheme. Yeah. Excellent strategy
RX is try I'm not quite sure how it's going to exit us. I think
we basically wanted to emoting this show. Oh, okay. We promote
the show. Once the show has been promoted sufficiently, we might
get onto iTunes into the charts. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We liked it a
lot. So thank you very much, Darren. And Darren also is one
of a number of people, including a nine year old producer, who
has been working on downloading the entire archive. So we have a
number of backup copies across the network, which is fantastic.
And Darren Yeah, I think we have like get hubs scripts and stuff
that'll scrape it I feel pretty safe now. Feel pretty safe, no
agenda are generated are calm. And that's just to have a
backup. You know, it's all this stuff is is part of our value
for value system or value network. We have producers who
create incredible things. No agenda player for instance,
although let me just check no agenda. player.com not feeling
too good about what's happening there.
Yeah, apparently is not keeping up.
Yeah, yeah. No, wait, no. Yeah. Some it stopped at 1063. So
that's the downside of the value network.
Yeah.
I wish is to great resource. We have our search website search
at na shownotes.com all kinds of great stuff. But as I said, the
artists are incredibly important because when you see that list
of new shows, we always have fresh Alkmaar catches people's
eye, reminds them that there's a new show catches people and
brings them in who have never heard the show before. No agenda
art generator.com Thank you very much all artists and Darrin
O'Neill.
So we have four people to thank today a two executive producers
and two associates which is a balanced, balanced attack,
slight tests or slight cart. Baron of all po dunks in Loomis,
California, which is in itself a Podunk $324. And he says four
times he wanted to have a special deal a PC Magazine.
Let's just stop for a second. Yes, you had a special deal for
the FPC magazine, which is the $81 donation. But yeah,
something I did not know in the essay that accompany the
newsletter is that it now appears that you are not just
fired for for being an alt right to Trump apologist. Just like
slipping that in. No, you what happened is you wrote You know,
it wasn't like a it was just an article an opinion on 5g And you
said hey, there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been fleshed out
yet. Until that gets flushed out. The public's probably not
gonna want this.
And that article that was a column in a nutshell. Yeah. And
it wasn't it
wasn't like, it wasn't like an iPad is going to fail type
article or anything. It was just, you know, it's a good
observation. And thanks
you for that remembrance. Man. It was it was actually a report
was more reporting on Colin, yes, I agree with all these
different sources that were saying What 5g Doesn't do this.
Don't do that. Don't do that. So I wrote this column, and then
they all three weeks later, I got fired and then the column
goes missing and appears, and then links to the column go to
another column written by another writer which has debts
extolling the virtues of 5g
It's interesting. Your original column is on the Wayback Machine
it's in the show notes
of course it's also Yeah, you can find it it's also PC mag.
Australia and PC may get UK still have it up.
See how long this lasts? Could
be for a while because they still have my digital have the
wrong bio and everything of those places. But the point is,
is that now I'm just wondering, wait a minute what? Yeah, and I
by the way, I asked her I sent a note to all editors. I got no
response on any of this when I said hey, this column is gone.
Why? They couldn't say because it sucks. You don't do that. You
just if it sucks, it doesn't get put on in the first place. We
have to we have to put In a FOIA request, this was August, August
22, is when the column ran. So then I'm thinking, well, this is
obviously somebody one of the some advertiser, that's what I'm
thinking, came up and said, hey, you know, you guys that you were
on board with this what we're up to here?
You know who the biggest advertiser is in America. And
who is doing 5g Is the Verizon Verizon is bigger than 18 2018,
T and T Mobile are all on onboard. Yeah. And so I said,
What is the city doing here? This isn't work. And this isn't
part of the situation. This is not going to
make, in an odd way. John, it comes back to Hearst, and
Hurst's opinion about lifestyle magazines, or whatever this is,
if I'm sorry, that you know if you could ever magazine and it's
all I mean, look at PC Magazine, it's really more about phones
than anything is a lot of phone stuff in there. And then they'll
do a gaming board. Accelerator, there's not much about PC, but
you know, the big the big push is going to be 5g and Verizon is
rolling out their campaign now as we speak, so it's obvious.
They can't have
to they save you right? Well, you know, you can get rid of the
column. But what about this guys? It's Thorne, you know,
this guy, you get my
I will fire him. Yeah, we'll get rid of him. Don't
worry about it. He's old. Anyways, what I have to conclude
is nobody will simply return an email. That's right.
The in less and less they we should have Senate hearings
about this.
And this. Please stop demure. No, I'm
not. I'm just trying to keep it light. You know, I'm all in. I'm
with you.
The point is, is that we need to emphasize is, this is how it
works today. That's why our value for value model at PC
Magazine is so important. This is why we asked you, even though
there's still nobody to fire us here. But we'd still have to
give in to a big advertiser. Well, you know, I don't think
you guys should be saying, mean things. Meanwhile, of course,
now that I'm free, I'm going to start looking into this 5g
thing. And that's a good idea at all. Oh,
it's gonna rip your DNA to shreds
or the wrong guy here. Maybe there's come a knockin and drop
off a check or something for a million dollars. I won't do it.
Well, I, I it's not gonna happen.
Well, it was a million. If he's making it even 2 million, we can
consider it as an exit.
Do so where our minimum was five. But 5 million, 5 million
were were stopped. We stopped pushing. But but that's how
corruptible yes to 5 million were corruptible. But it is
true. That point is that everybody's corruptible. That's
why we don't have advertisers.
And I think this is actually more. Mmm, we're joking around a
little bit. But for them to just forget about you being fired,
although I can't because it's, you know, it hurts my heart, by
law. But to remove your article and link. So your link has been
replaced? Yeah. So it resolves to this new positive article. i
That to me, that goes beyond certainly, because of the
content of your of your piece, it goes beyond just the
advertiser. There's something else going on. They don't want,
they don't want this disgust. They don't want this part of it.
And that's probably in the briefing. It's like when
Gillette was my my client. We never talked about how long the
blades last ever, ever. Because they last a long time. But you
know, that little strip that they put on there is to fool you
into thinking it's time for a new one. So that's the
directive. And I think this is very big.
Well, the edits part part of this was I think, if you can
find the old column, you read the comments. There's about
three or four people in there that seemed very knowledgeable.
And they are going on and on and on and on and on about stuff.
And I'm thinking maybe the comments had some choice to go
because that could be and so you got to get rid of the column,
you got to get rid of the comments. You got to get rid of
the guy who wrote the column, you got to get rid of everybody
you can. And so I was looking at the comps. There's some very
interesting new material in there. So I think it's, I really
think this 5g thing is it's going to be the other thing
about this column. It was one of the few columns of late where a
newspaper from some municipality wrote into Hey, we got to
reprint this column because 5g is being rolled out our town and
we don't like it right. And so they got
there was the it was the fire department who didn't want the
antenna on their roof. That's that's where it really started
because we did that story.
Yeah, but this was something this is another error. Okay. All
right. So this column got reprinted in the in the magazine
in the newspapers and I think that was probably is probably
how because it started to roll became a problem. These guys
none of these guys in these telecom companies read PC
Magazine or anything else for that matter, but they will read
the local papers? Yes. Still they're all fashion. Yeah. And I
think that's may have got drawn its attention to the column and
then the comments. So it was the sorry situation, but this is
what happens in media today, when you have native ads in the
New York Times, yes. So and a bunch of, you know, skewed
opinions and everything else in between. So this is why it's so
important that people help us keep this show going straight up
without having any, you know, underwriters or advertisers or
whatever you
want to call them.
So let's thank God we did that. Thanks, sir slot car Baron of
all products, onward to mark Empson all products by the way,
Mark Empson in Plainville, Connecticut Renner bucks I
cannot find an email from him you might want to look and while
you're looking at James Rogers from Wilmington, Delaware $250

Jim Rogers just just sent a link to the the Roy Van Dyck the
auctioneer some time back but he never okay.
It's an n j and k then I get Yeah, I'm just gonna give some

out of living in Europe has become a living hell of double
clicking every dang clicky warning because of the new regs.
That's true. Yes, this is stupid. Yeah, we are you gotta
accept cookies and you gotta click on this you know sometimes

that what are these people?

have memes Yes. Yeah, that picture with a caption is what
have we here? Yeah.

also we now have Mockingbird list.com. Mockingbird lists
dolly
is right, the people that are suspected of seeing
being in some foreign travel CIA Mockingbird program,
FBI who knows? Yeah, I mean, I've been very taken aback ever
since it turned out that Bob would work who Woodward was
working for the FBI all this time. Which was revealed and
WikiLeaks and brought up in some other document. Yeah, yeah. So
we always thought CIA so we were wrong. I do have I do have an
ask Adam quiz.
Okay, do I need to get the jingle
I got to do it again. Yeah, yeah, let's get the jingle Okay,
let's get the jingle I am I am excited. I'm slow today because
of the use clogged I'm totally clogged today. Here we go
patient then protect them.
That's not it. That's the best part. Now here's the jingle
here's the jingle it's a different jingle Oh, God.
Alright, it's time to play as Adam where John has some kind of
clip and he wants to ask me a question. You
name this movie. So it's
that whole rap of yours is bull. Anyway, good evil. It's all the
same crap. Rock and roll is the only thing that counts dig hard
as blistering bras and heavy metal rock rock and roll
one of my favorites. That would not be a movie that would be
swampthing with me and Rick Monetti from Magnum PI, the
other star of the of that episode. Have you Did you see
the whole thing? God no, go. It's some there's some good
acting in there, man.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And who gave
that to you? Who gave that to you, Jay?
No, I found it. It's done by good acting. This new series is
are now out. And one of them was there, Brian. I don't know why
Dick Wolf is doing this. But he's got one called FBI.
Yeah, it's a reboot. Reboot. Good
boy. It's kind of a reboot, but it's like really overdramatized
in his lips got a lot of weird stuff in it. So I clipped out
three things that are I clipped very short clips. 20 seconds.
Oops. Wait. No, I'm sorry. I want you to play FBI showed this
one genomic phenotyping. I want you to listen very carefully to
this
read. It didn't match any DNA that we have on file. So best
evidence we can we can't use it. No, I didn't say that you ever
heard a genomic phenotyping of yours doing amazing work of
bioinformatics software that pulls genetic information from
blood samples to generate a physical profile and gives us
what a description of someone if you're lucky, you get a sketch.
Catalase can't wait for that from blood. We can see what
someone looks like. That's great.
Yeah. Wow. What?
Says you, FBI man, then I gotta tell you everything.
What do you know, there was there was a vague reference to
Godwin's Law. And it was it was it was like, somehow it went for
Godwin's Law which says that every internet discussion
always. Someone's Hitler. Yeah. At the end. But no, no, no, no,
they've rewritten it. Here it is. Before you
guys started here. We got close to time that I talked to Robert
Lawrence. Robert Lawrence. What was that name? Sounds familiar.
You've seen him on TV. He's the guy they always put on when they
want the alt right to seem legit. Yeah. But if you listen
closely to his dog whistles, the guy's a Nazi. Are you
familiar with Godwin's Law? It's the idea that the endpoint of
any intellectual debate is one party calling the other a Nazi.
I'm not a Nazi. You prefer a white nationalist? Hmm.
Yeah, rewriting that. That is not That's not. That's not what
God
rewrote it. We should probably lose a dog whistle thing in
there, which I thought was weird. And then the last So
hold on. Just give me one second I just want to get the actual
definition of Godwin's Law. Your Godwin's Law definition is an
internet adage asserting that quote, as an online discussion
grows longer, the probability of comparison involving Hitler
approach is one. That is if an online discussion goes on long
enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone to Hitler.
Yeah, that's not the same. But do both. I mean, this okay, the
show when I remember the FBI back in the day, which must have
been late 60s 70s it would always be perpetrator, the FBI
guys in suits in like a really boxy looking forward with a
screw skirt, go find a stop FBI. The perpetrator turns around
five shot misses the FBI, FBI poopoo two shots boom, he's
down. Every single episode went like that. And then we had the
FBI looking like goofballs during
kiss, which is why I think the FBI looking like goofballs were
was very much a part of the law and order Siri 90s 90s which
makes me think that somebody went up to Dick Wolf and said,
Look, you made us look like goofballs long enough. You're
doing this show you're gonna
pay for the FBI doesn't need any help looking like goofballs.
But again, they look like goofballs in this show with the
genomic phenotyping
No, I think that makes them look cool and hip and like CSI.
Unless you know anything. Hello was like, no one knows anything
anymore.
So now it turns out this is the this is the last clip is the
phone battery clip. It turns out that what you want, when you use
a phone to detonate a bomb here. You want the phone to blow up?
And that's the detonator for the bomb.
That makes no sense. No, that's the way it works. You
don't understand anything.
I just got the report back from the explosive lab. The phone or
bombmaker use as a trigger was a handsman 2600. The same kind of
phones you guys found in Barnardos hideout. It's all
cheap technology. So mostly in Asia 10 to 15 years ago. Why
would the bombmaker want to use that? Because batteries back
then didn't have good temperature sensors or failsafe
so they ignited more easily. You got deep on this. By the time
I'm done, I'll be able to build one of these things, which I
knew we'd seen once before.
Well, that doesn't seem like it. Like you press the button and
then it overheats really quickly and blows up.
No, no. That's the way it works. That's the way it works. All
phones is 15 year old phones is like a promotion for modern
phones. Oh, phones will blow up after a year. Oh no, not the new
Samsung. Interesting that GE has a phone blows up and there goes
the bomb. And that's what you want. This was an unbelievable
show in terms of like, I can't imagine anyone not being very
upset by this dialogue.
Well, I do need to tie in phone for a second. I don't know
what's going on. But I had to go back to the Nokia E 71. I know
I've gotten off the key your Kyocera, what happened battery
life, just battery life is not sufficient. It'll last for a day
just sitting idle.
No, no, no, those old phones posted last night. But this is
not
a week. This is not an old what's the point? This is not an
old phone. This is a new phone?
What are they doing to tap the battery?
Well, it's striking. It's first of all the battery. Yeah, maybe
the battery is very small. It's tiny. And so I went back the 71
The battery is almost half is almost the entire size of of the
phone itself is huge. And I've had this on now for 48 hours.
And I'm still at looks like about 70%. Yeah, which is what
you want. And interestingly enough, even though it was 4g
LTE with a modern html5 browser, using the Opera browser on the
Nokia ie 71 it's just faster, it's faster. And it's 3g it's
not it's not 4g or anything like that. So the only problem and
and the keyboard I really missed the keyboard because I do
predictive text now predictive text sucks, because you can't
switch you can't throw in a Dutch word you know do all kinds
of things. You can't do slang it's like it's just not handy
but an actual the actual keyboard of the e 71. Is it's
still the best phone and there's no there's much less spying
because it's you know Symbian which is dead well open source
actually. Anyone can go and build. I'd buy that 4g phone
with Symbian. Anyway. But sad day, sad day. That's not really
a sad day. The 71 just better than them. Yeah, but they don't
make it anymore. No, I do have one more coming today, which is
some other flip phone that was the first one with Kayo s before
Google. Got into it. So it's very hard. It's very all I just
want a phone. That doesn't interrupt me does phone call
text and just want a browser? I don't email anything. Just a
browser. That's all you need. That's all you need. And that in
love.
All right. I did find a somebody one of our producers sent me a
clip. He's in North Carolina. He says yes. The national news is
not covering the poop and pain from the pigs hoop. Yes, the pig
poop. And he said, But NPR did have a story on he sent me a
copy of the story which I will have which I have, and I never
listened to carefully. It is a good discussion of pig poop was
some guy that's the river guy. I don't know. And it did their
daily one. Interesting fact or point of interest completely out
of the story. I want to see if you can identify
it. The flooding from Hurricane Florence washed over livestock
farms and when it did, and this will make some people cringe.
The floodwaters swept away many animals and their waste, all of
which ended up in rivers such as the Cape Fear River. Camp
Bernadette is the Cape Fear River Keeper, a position he was
given by an environmental nonprofit group and he's on the
line. Good morning. Good morning. See what have you seen
as you've toured the area.
I flew yesterday and a small plane over parts of the Cape
Fear of watershed and widespread damage, widespread flooding,
floodwaters are still rising in some areas. I saw numerous swine
lagoons that had been completely inundated and overtop by
floodwaters, I thought to lagoons that had failed
altogether and emptied their contents entirely into
floodwaters.
Swine lagoons we're talking about giant giant pits of animal
waste, is that right?
Exactly estimates are that these two agreements held about 7
million gallons of untreated swine feces. And when they
emptied their contents into waterways that were flooded Of
course, as flooded waters you're gonna move downstream across the
communities that are flooded there as well.
Okay, you're gonna need to help me just read
this report. It goes on and you write to the and it talks about
the dangers of this poop in the water and people wandering
around back to their house. They're gonna be contaminated
forever. It goes on and on and on. And it's it's a mess.
There's not one mention of the stink paw. Throughout the entire
report. Nobody says this stinks. This seems to high heaven.
That's interesting. Yeah.
I don't know why and bad. This guy. This guy River Keeper that
was assigned this title by some nonprofit. So I guess we can
start assigning titles to people like River Keeper.
Yeah. We have the keeper. You have
the different use of the word keeper. Yes.
You mean like we have Knights and Dames and we we do have some
of this you know?
Yeah, we have some we don't have the reverse spiritual ones.
Yeah. Oh,
yeah. Well, we we can we can install a new River Keeper
level.
Good. Oh, Howard.
I don't know either. But you it's all wants to be River
Keeper. I'm okay with that.
But anyway, so the poop is everywhere. And it's like, it's
contaminating the whole state. But they never mentioned that
any smell. Stinks. It
does. I mean, I've been around farms that does it but maybe it
No, I don't know. That you're our producer didn't mention any
of that. In his note
about the stench. No, actually didn't. It's fuzzy.
We'll find out now.
Wait, wane over 3000 troops. The iPhone virus. The killer from
Nigeria.
Right everybody Ebola is back. And whenever Ebola rears its
ugly head we are on watch here with the no agenda show because
you know, they love to send in troops to keep everybody calm.
But there's maybe something going on. I don't know. Doctors
with borders are involved red alert
and alert for Ebola rings out over the streets of Benning in
the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The death
toll is rising. For three weeks the community has been on alert.
But in this conflict ridden corner of the DRC it's hard to
control the virus.
This disease called a bola is already close to us so customers
are not wearing helmets. We were told that it can spread through
the sweat and our helmets are shared by our customers. So
we're telling customers not to wear them.
In the last two weeks, nearly 1300 people have been
unvaccinated Congos National Institute for Biomedical
Research is also testing a new drug for Ebola patients made in
the US 10 patients have received it and responded well,
there was a vote from some party on Monday. Now,
when we went to Nigeria, there were five or six patients and
two and a severe state. I said we need to treat everyone. We
can't only administer to the less serious cases. Some of them
were very serious, and in particular, a child who had
bloody stools. And after this treatment, he's now recovering
slowly due to
the DRC had just emerged from another Ebola outbreak some 2000
kilometers away in because in the waist, it was declared over
in July, just a week before this one was discovered 33 people
died. It was the first time the bola vaccine was used in an
outbreak and was credited with containing the spread. This time
will be more challenging cases are spread across two of the
most populated provinces in the country. They share borders with
Uganda and Rwanda. And it's an act of conflict zone between
rebel and government forces
to set up the Viva known as everybody's this epidemic
in North Kivu is going to bring a lot of surprises. It's not
like the earlier epidemic in the West, the number of cases is
going up and the number of infected zones is increasing. So
it will take a long time to control this epidemic.
I really liked this report for a number of reasons because it's a
signaling report to me, this is signaling what has happened what
is going to happen next we had 33 in there, I'll just throw
into 33 dead and then you have my attention. We had the fear of
it spreading through helmets, you know, just so that tells the
population like be afraid be afraid population. And this is
these are the taxi motorcycles. So don't don't by the way, I
would never want to put on someone else on a taxi,
motorcycle taxi, I'm gonna wear some Stankey helmet. We had that
we had the vaccine, which is hopeful. Although I thought that
was all done and taken care of and didn't we pay for it. And
then we had all these emergency vaccines. The last time this
bullcrap went down, we sent 1000s of troops. But this is
different. This is the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This is I want to mention something. They had the vaccine,
which is one two, were preventing it. And then they had
some drug. Yeah, I don't know anything.
I don't know anything about it either. That just some new drug
that they have the pops up. There's all come but
they specifically said from the United States. Yeah. Didn't have
to say that. Oh, no. Well,
the Democratic Republic of Congo is very interesting placed the
you know, the biggest population is there now is not Africans.
Are Congolese. It's China's. The Chinese are all over the place,
and mainly for the cobalt, which you need for your phone. And
Cobalt is you can explain that better than I can how important
Cobalt is.
Cobalt is an important, rare earth. It's not technically a
rare earth. It's elemental is substance. But it's a it's used
for all kinds of electronics. And I think in the screens,
maybe? I'm not sure I don't I'm not sure I can't explain it. But
I know that Cobalt is used a lot in modern industry.
And I think we're going to send to us from a cobalt steel.
It's very important product. Yes,
I think we're going to send troops in again. And this is not
about Ebola. It never is. Remember the last time when we
watched the stupid guy land with the private plane, and then he
like, Oh, my God is going to the hospital. Has he bowl and he
just hops out of the back of the truck. Oh, okay. I'll walk in
the back door here is bullcrap. But something is going on in the
Congo, and you can expect troops next, because that's what we do.
And I think China has something to do with it. Good catch. Yeah,
that's our Ebola update. We'll keep our eye on it. And I did
want to discuss with you briefly about this code of conduct for
the open source Linux development community. Yes. This
is very interesting. And I know you saw I saw you tweet
something about the story this morning. Yeah, this is Linus
Torvalds, who got wrapped up in this in some kind of social
justice warrior movement in the open source code,
one woman in particular doing it all, so really do have a name
for her. Well, I don't I didn't expect to do the story. So I
don't, but she is very proud. I can get it if you do.
Yes. Okay. Well, what is what is interesting about what's
happening here is, you know, this is very much like
GamerGate. And this is about, you know, language words being
used on mainly on the Linux kernel mailing list, and, and
they got to Linus Torvalds. And he's now going off to sit in a
yurts somewhere and think about all the horrible things he said
to people like, eff off and whatever, because that's what
happened. Yeah. So What happens on developing mail lists, but
okay, and that would have created a code of conduct, then
you can get kicked out of the group. And it's all a bits all
responsibility and
who put it together says it is a political thing. It's a
completely
political thing. But the real talk, what's happening now is
that depending on the type of open source license, you have
license your code under, then there's a number of this is all
Richard Stallman type stuff. And I'm not well versed in the
legalese of it, but any developer can pull their code at
any point and say, You're not allowed to use this anymore. I
retract my copyright which could in effect, ruin Linux to a
degree
you can't do that. That can't be debt can't be possible. Well, it
is apparently it's it's legally possible.
I know. But if you if it's allowed, and if it becomes part
of the system is not going to the system won't work.
It'll fall apart. Yes. It's what they call it the kill switch.
Linux developers threatened to pull the kill switch. But this
this is a very important fight that's going on. And it's we
should no one should be online really shouldn't have
conversations online. We don't know how to do it. We're not
prepared for this stuff. So I don't know where it's gonna go.
But I can see some people in a huff pulling their code, I can
see that happening.
Yeah, I can too. Well, whatever the case once, whatever the
case, once Torvalds is, is out. That's pretty much the end of
it. The way I see it, because and it's just a woman and her
cadre who were extremely political. They are not going to
they just ruin that whole thing. And of course, that it kind of
ties in nicely with a story done by some guys kicked out of some
high school. Some character some athletic director for saying
just saying the words. Oh, girls ruin everything.
Yeah, you can't say that.
And so that was the
No, you can't talk like that is wrong.
But this I will we'll follow up on this. Okay,
let's see, what else do we have here?
Well, I've got a there's a there was a thing done on PBS got a
new thing is plastic, plastic, plastic plastic and I got two
clips that I want to play. One is the intro to the series is
going to have on PBS Newshour is going to go on for a few weeks
about plastics and just listen to this this kind of Harem
Scarem kind of a great opening as to plastics intro waves
of plastic or washing ashore. This beach in the Dominican
Republic is inundated every day. This stretch of sand on
Australia's Christmas Island is swamped by debris. Plastic is
clogging landfills from Thailand to Kenya, why? Plastic is
virtually indestructible, and it doesn't break down easily. But
there are also so many different types of plastic, it can be hard
or in some cases impossible to recycle. And get around the
world. Our appetite for plastic keeps on growing. More than 9
billion metric tons of plastic had been produced since 1950.
The weight equivalent of 27,000 Empire State Buildings, or more
than a billion elephants.
Now did this all stem from that one turtle with a straw up his
nose? Has it has that led to this series? Yes.
Seeing Yes. Wow. And I'm guessing the glass industry is
behind it. But that's well that's the next
question is Yeah, who's who's who's going to win in this who's
going to replace the straw the race for the straw.
But my favorite is the teaser they use for this series, I want
you to listen carefully to this guy they bring on to to make
some comment about this problem and listen carefully to what he
has to say.
Plus we kick off a new series, the plastic problem as discarded
bottles and bags threaten the health of humans, animals and
the environment.
Even if we stopped today, to use plastic, if we stop now, this
plastic that is out there. We're gonna have to deal with it for
the next hundreds of 1000s of years. Maybe because it's not
going to go away.
Then why do the series
Wait a minute, let's get this straight. How long is humankind?
I mean, we're looking at, you know, 2000 years since the birth
of Christ maybe 30,000 year plastic hundreds of Chinese
society was formed. But no, hundreds, not 100 but a hundreds
of 1000s of years. It's gonna take us the cleanup dismiss. And
yes, it does bring the point of like, why bother? Hundreds of
1000s Well who's this guy who these people kidding with this
bullcrap? Didn't take hundreds of 1000s of years to put it
there. I want
to know who's behind it because this will come to light yeah
seeing
the glass industry that would be the ones
for glass straws.
No they don't care about destroys a camera that bottles
in the packaging that you want to be don't want plastic is
gonna kill everyone. Anyway.
Oh, hey, did you see the class action lawsuit against Facebook?
Yeah, I'm sure you saw this. Oh, yeah, I think I did. Yes.
Content moderators suing Facebook class action, though to
class action, which makes it more interesting. There's a lot
of them that can be yes, as her job gave her PTSD. This is the
artificial intelligence that face bag is using and I have in
the show notes. I have their entire list of things that you
have to look out for and how you moderate it's really quite
extensive. 200 pages. See, Selena Scola,
this stuff, by the way, it says if they're finding all this sort
of thing, child porn and all these these are posted by
people. Yes. If they're going, why don't they go arrest these
people.
They're not going to they can't they can't start doing that.
They'd be doing it all day. So what? There's also beheadings,
there's all kinds of horrible things here. Selena Scola
did her videos. And nowadays people will try to post and then
these people that have to watch this stuff, they get sick,
which is exactly what the people in Austin are doing. They ship
them all here. So they can be here and just be sick watching
this horrible stuff. But the fact that these companies, you
know, first of all, let's just face it, they don't have
artificial intelligence. Yes, these content moderators, the
choices they make, are helping our training, some algorithms,
I'm sure and I'm sure that some of that works. I'm sure it
doesn't, um, some of it, you know, some some things can be
early flagging, but no, not really, we did. It's all a pipe
dream. They going to go out of business, Google is not doing
this to I don't understand, you can't, you cannot do this
forever, you're going to go out of business. If you think that
you can stop all of this with human beings. That is just you
can't have a one on one someone upload someone watches, it just
can't work that way. It's too much work. It's way too much
work. But when you look at this, when you look at the community
standards document, ah, anyway, so this woman is suing for being
exposed to highly toxic, unsafe and injurious content during her
employment as a content moderator at Facebook, although
Facebook is probably smart, they hire these other companies, they
contract it out, which on one hand is smart because they shift
a little bit of that responsibility away from the
corporate from the corporate structure itself. On the other
hand, you know, these people are going to be poorly trained. And
you're going to get this kind of stuff where people just can't
handle it and they screw it, then they sue Facebook. I think
this is it's all coming apart at the seams. really is and now you
have
well, the whole thing was a bit idealistic. Facebook. Yeah.
Well, the
thing is, billion dollar companies don't go away
overnight. But they do. It didn't take my space very long
to fold. That went pretty quick. It feels like I'm still there.
He didn't know what I mean. Do you still have a profile on
MySpace?
No, I never had a profile on MySpace. You know
what I mean? It did they fall. We it goes back to Geo cities.
John, we saw that we saw how fast it could fall. Remember
Alta Vista? Yeah, that was the shit. Oh my god, Alta Vista
av.com. They shortened it av.com don't have to type out the VISTA
anymore. And then came Google boom, Alta Vista was gone. It
can end. And it's going to end on a monetary note. If they
continue to try and moderate every single piece of content
that people upload it just it a you can't do it. B people are
sick. They do sick stuff.
And they make videos, they post them
and they make videos of it and share it with their friends.
Yeah.
So I think that a lot of these people should be arrested. I
don't understand. I totally agree. I should work with the
local police.
They have a I have reasons why that won't work. Yeah, well, I
have reasons why it will. FBI let the FBI do it. They're too
busy for something to do all the time.
They're too busy investigating sex scandals of nominees.
Well, they've been forced to do that
everything is upside down. It's very, very skewed. So Brexit for
a second. Yeah. Um, did get a nice to stop gap measure that
involves Northern Ireland and Ireland I got a couple of notes
from our producers in Northern Ireland as well as Ireland. I
liked this one as an explanation. Adam and John in
Sunday's episode Adam was wondering about the Brexit
backstop and the significance of Northern Ireland in the whole
Brexit debacle. Yes. In short, Northern Ireland is the only
major region of the UK that shares a land border with an EU
country got it. As such once the UK leaves the EU and presumably
leaves the Customs Union, they will have to be some kind of
customs check established between the north and south of
Ireland. This is very difficult to achieve because the border is
completely open and invisible with no passport controls no
physical infrastructure on the ground between the two
countries, the de militarization of the area at the end of the
conflict and the dismantlement. This is the big fight they had
in Northern Ireland, and dismantlement of any physical
signs of the border are considered positives, and both
sides are happy with this arrangement. Yeah, took took a
long time for that to settle down. Customs checks would also
be difficult to enforce as the border has some peculiarities
for example, there are a number of places where the border runs
down the middle of the road between two lanes of traffic, in
fact, and there are many winding roads that can cross back and
forth between the two countries over the course of a few miles.
Because of all this we have the backstop proposal, which is for
Northern Ireland to remain in some kind of customs partnership
with the EU, sometimes described as regulatory alignment with a
great New World Order word that is to ensure minimal disruption.
This is a popular opinion in Northern Ireland, especially
since the majority here voted against Brexit in the
referendum. The problem with the backstop is that Theresa Mays
coalition partnership, whom she depends on to keep her slim
majority in parliament are against it. They oppose anything
that would separate Northern Ireland from Britain in any way.
The result is a political deadlock. And Theresa May is
unable to make much progress in negotiations with the EU. And
there's another opinion on this from the Shadow Minister for
Northern Ireland Stephen pound Member of Parliament, and he
thinks is going to be much worse. This
is not about people in the Labour Party striking postures.
This is life and death to the people of Ireland, the whole
island of Ireland. And we have to get that right. If you look
at the border 302 miles, if you think that a camera up a pole
can actually provide a border security, that will become a
target. If you have a target, you have to defend the target.
If you have a defender you have to have someone to actually
protect the defendant before you know where you are. You've got
uniformed UK bi or or customs officers on the border. If you
do that, then I'm not being hysterical about this but the
peace process is finished. The minute you have uniform troops
on that border, if the peace process is finished, then peace
in the island on the island of Ireland is under huge threat. So
we cannot get that right. Then we kind of get anything right
and you can talk about all you want about Sweden and Norway,
but the Irish border is the issue and don't forget the
Swedish Norway border closes at 10 o'clock at night. And there
are more crossing points between Monahan and Northern Ireland
than the arbitrary the whole of Sweden and Norway 302 miles from
Donegal to Dundalk. 282 crossing points. So that problem well,
and you've solved the riddle of the universe. Yeah,
I can see that though. I can see how having uniformed troops on
that particular border would screw up a lot.
You know, it cracks me up. Yeah, I know the Irish in general hate
the Brits. But the fact that they are going to give up their
sovereignty to the Belgians is just baffling to me. They went
out of their way to stay out of World War Two, the Ireland was
neutral throughout World War Two no matter what. And they would
because they didn't want to get involved. They didn't want to
help the British they didn't want to, you know, help the
Nazis didn't want to help anybody. They wanted to be the
demo themselves. And this just holding doesn't make any sense
again, I think is the way kids are educated. They don't have
much respect for anything but
themselves and themselves globalism and themselves. Yeah,
the big mommy and daddy in Brussels. You know what we
should every kid should learn to eat brussel sprouts at an early
age get ready for their future leaders. They can taste the
freedom
and I'm going to show my school by donation to

Brent Vanden Horst and you Rica, California saying is long
overdue?
Yes. Well, a good list once again, thank you for supporting
your value network had known as the no agenda show value for
value is how it works. It started 11 years ago, and we
asked a simple question. We're giving you three hours of
entertainment, and news and information and stuff you like?
How does that compare to going to the movies and sitting in a
dark room for an hour and a half with your date, and although
it's a date, you never know, you have, you know, have a drink and
some popcorn, that's 50 bucks. So you know, you determine it.
That's the best part about it. And usually, what people put in,
they get out that's what I love the most about the network that
we've built over this decade. Thanks everyone who came in
under $50. Typically for reasons of anonymity, but also a lot of
people on the sustaining donations. You can all check
that out at devora.org/and. A number of cards to hand out we
got a note from Baron of Casey de Fuca. zotoh He says in the
morning found out today an old army mate of mine Brad Dahlberg
has a relapse of brain cancer getting ready to go under the
gamma knife or want to see about getting some F cancer karma for
him on the next show. Of course, we happily do that along with
the jobs and relationship karma as as requested.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote for job. Karma.
And here is your list for today. It is the 27th of September
2018. Very short Eric Vogel's says Happy Birthday to Jennifer
Christ as she will be celebrating on the 29th Happy
birthday from everybody here's the best podcast is universe
titled change you don't want to be a douchebag no knights for
games today but we do have a title change confused now John?
Is it Dan? Dame dang it all or is it de Meelo who go de Mello
who goes to Dame dang at all
that's a little no she I think her new name is dang dang it all
okay, that's
what I thought so de Mello goes to Dame dang it all new title.
And obviously you can always look these up on our peerage map
at ITM dot i m slash P reg or dvorak.org/peerage.htm dropped
the last L for extra lovin That's it.
Okay. It's kind of anticlimactic.
Me. We don't have we don't have any nice things. I can't help
that. This is what it is. The waiting for my
my big rundown some instant nights out there. People do
we do? We do need some instant nights?
Well, we have said we have an issue here at the San Francisco
Bay area. Okay. I think it was Gavin Newsom. And and maybe some
of the other Democrats have pointed out there. There hasn't
been a Republican governor in San Francisco since 1964. figure
that one out. And so they you know, it's it's becoming just
kind of inbred, corrupt operations. So this, so they
built this Transbay Terminal.
Now I have a question about this. Is this the one that I got
kicked out under eminent domain four is that that's that is
insane. Read what happened? This is so just to go back in no
agenda history. I was living in San Francisco around 2009.
Yeah, at a very, very trendy, modern toma Street. It was a
tome it was a very pretty place. It was you know, it was it was
it was very it was modern loft.
It was modern and there was a lot wrong with it, particularly
person I was with but there was a lot of wrong with it. And we
got kicked out under eminent domain. Yeah, they
kicked they took dead fact they took a really trendy little bar
across the street. Brick bar. Yeah, what was that called?
Again? I can't remember but it was very famous. And it was, you
know, a landmark. But now Now, this this whole area has got to
go so they can put move it and construct
I even remember that they had lifted the noise abatement so
they could work 24/7 And we were still living there.
Yeah, that's that's how friendly the city is. I was the worst. So
away got out of there before the poop thing. Anyway. They spent
$2.2 billion on this Transbay Terminal. What it did is replace
the old bus terminal. The bus terminal right and it's still a
bus to run but that was the idea. Would they sold it as the
tour roominess for the high speed rail from San Francisco to
LA. Right, which is the one that runs from Fresno to Bakersfield
and you won't have to take your shoes off. And so they did. So
there was going to end the high speed rail is going to come
barreling in through a tunnel somewhere and under the city and
then up into the Transbay Terminal or in stay stay in the
tunnel, I guess underneath the Transbay Terminal. And did that
hasn't happened and so what they've got now is a bus
terminal, a glorified bus for $2 billion for $2.2 billion
dollars. As our as just went up recently is already falling
apart. I got two reports. And by the way, this reports not even
up to date because now it turns out there may be three cracked
beams of course they're using Chinese steel we're guessing
which may have something to do with this which is another
issue. Nobody wants to talk about a support beam Transbay
Terminal
as well as some of the surrounding streets have opened
but the main road that goes under the heart of the transit
center remains closed and it will stay close until crews get
to look at that crack on the support beam that was discovered
this morning. This is the beam in question crews found a crack
when they were installing ceiling panels around 10 In the
morning, the beam supports the roof garden above the third
level bus deck workers tonight we're also inspecting a second
beam in the cordoned off area. bus riders were shocked to hear
the news buildings would only open for three months crazy.
Because I don't know what else can happen if like foundation
and we are sitting on piles of trash. Yeah, it's kind of scary
if you would expect that everything would be good to go
after all this time.
The Transbay transit center cost $2.2 billion and opened on
August 12 of this year. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority
says out of an abundance of caution it decided to shut down
the brand new transit center
I read somewhere explicitly that it was US Steel but I guess that
was a wrong report.
I don't know it doesn't they never tell him that locally.
Maybe it is us and is it the steel that is cracked? Yeah, the
actual steel being cracked. That's not good. So what does
that do you get oh, you might be able to weld it. Who knows. But
here's the here's part two, which makes it which adds insult
to injury.
And this is the second embarrassment for the transit
center. This month. Visitor walkway around the rooftop Park
started crumbling about two weeks ago, a spokesperson said
that they would patch up the eroded sections as needed.
So Jay told me about this because you've walked dogs in
that area. She says that rooftop, which is way after it
has a walkway and it's kind of supposed to be pleasant, Gottlob
plants grass, but they built it with some crazy new material
cost a lot more to make it this way. And now it's crumbling and
falling apart. So they don't know what to do about that. And
meanwhile right next door of course, you have this situation
not far from the transit center managers at the Millennium tower
are a step closer to submitting a report on the cause of a
cracked window. The owner of an apartment on the 36th floor of
the sinking building noticed the crack on September 2. It's since
been taped up. Today an engineering inspector wrote a
window washer rake up the side of the high rise to get a closer
look. The external inspection is one of the last steps before
management submits a report to the city. It's expected to be
completed by next week. The city wants to know if the crack is
related to the sinking and tilting of the tower.
Who made this thing? Who was the main contractor? Do we know any
of that? Then I mentioned
we used to Yeah, they used to talk right all the time. I think
that, you know they, you know the solution to them, of course
is just to go bankrupt and screw everybody. They get their money
out whatever they put in. I'll look into that. I don't have
their name. It's just you know, another local. It's this whole
city. This city of San Francisco is really bad. It's really bad.
How's the activity on the on the freeway? Are they still there?
They haven't gotten an update from you.
Yeah, no, it's fine. No, you're right about the cops. Yeah, they
Okay, so about 20 minutes ago. I saw a tow truck pulling some car
and then all the cops and everything followed the car and
that was last I've seen him they're all gone. Suicide. I
don't know. They're never gonna explain any of this stuff. Now I
did I do have one clip I wanted to get to. I got to hit. Hillary
was on the Colbert show. And she goes
oh about her paperback. She's a paperback
paperback. So she's getting going around but on that same
show. Cold there and Neil deGrasse Tyson went out the back
with the Mars rover.
So calling on the Mars Rover this monstrous thing is I don't
know you can't get this thing to Mars. Just don't know what kind
of rocket get
bigger Hey man don't doubt Elon man. He couldn't do anything.
Well, it was it's a NASA rover, not Elon. All right? And so they
get in this thing, but they're, they're on the outs. They're on
the outside of it looking around and they spot a couple of tubes
of oxygen and nitrogen going into the cabin. And then then I
hear this commentary, which really makes me makes me wonder
if Neil deGrasse Tyson is a phony.
You've got a there's a there's an afterword and there's a new
afterword here and it's it's democracy.
I'm sorry, that's the wrong one.
can't be right. No, you're wrong yet the wrong one. It says I got
it
Spanish, right. Yes. Yes. Oxygen chambers supply line.
Oh, we got an oxygen and nitrogen coming together. What's
happened in that? Oh, that's a nice reaction.
What's that? What happens? Well, nitrous oxide Yes, it's whip it
is a party bus. We're going to be tripping balls in this thing.
There's rovers are rockin. Okay,
what is nitrogen and oxygen coming together?
It's called Air Yes. Somehow causes nitrous oxide
78% nitrogen and about 21% Oxygen. That's what air is made
out of. And this is making you put those two together. And
those two tanks you're making air if you put nitrogen and
oxygen together, and it somehow made nitrous oxide, which is the
result of other kinds of chemical reactions. The entire
ox did tire planet would be on fire and we'd be we all be
stoked
that explains everything. Finally, an answer to the
universe. We're all stoned.
So the fact that he would say you're gonna get a reaction
between nitrogen gas and oxygen gas, as opposed to just getting
a kind of a mixture to create an oxygen normal air environment or
maybe oxygen enriched, which is I would guess, is beyond dumb.
Dammit. It's damaging. He's an astrophysicist not a chemist.
It's unbelievable.
Now it's totally believable. He's an actor. And he's
interesting one, he does a good job. No, he's definitely an act
like like this Mars rover was for real. Come on.
Oh, yeah. Nothing. She was ridiculous. Anyway, so Hillary
was on Coal Baron. I do have a good catch, by the
way on that good catch on the nitrous oxide bullcrap. No one
calls him on that?
No, no one says anything? Of course not. He's Neil deGrasse
Tyson, why would you call him on that? And MDGs. So Hillary is on
coal barons, she goes on with all these assertions about oh,
especially over the last month, our democracy is under attack.
It's a Republic we live in. Our democracy is under attack. And
she goes on and on and on. Never citing any specifics of any
sort, just going on average greeing and clapping. But let's
play a little bit on her of her plugging. She's not playing
really plugging the book as the books been out. She's plugging
the paperback version, which has a, a new little mini chapter in
the back, which is an afterword she's added some new nasty
stuff. You've got
a there's a there's an afterword and there's a new afterword here
and it's, it's democracy in crisis. Yes, under Trump. Yes.
Is that a fancy way of saying I told you so. Because you'd be
allowed you'd be allowed to. So I really want
people to take it seriously, regardless of who you voted for
whether you even voted and think about why our democracy is in
crisis. And I don't use the word lightly. I really regret using
the word because I wish it weren't the case. But what we've
seen in the last months and so many ways, is degrading the rule
of law D legitimizing our elections, attacking your
favorite subject, truth and reason, reading corruption,
undermining our national unity. Each alone is a threat, but you
put it all together, and it really is a crisis to who we are
as a nation,
where you compare our situation right now, in some ways to
Watergate. And you know, that of what you speak, because you were
a lawyer working for it was the Judiciary Committee. Yes.
Judiciary Committee. There you are right there. And
didn't you get kicked off of that?
I think so. Just one of the dorkiest pictures ever you've
ever seen. I think she
got kicked off of that for
some reason. 1974 Bringing the impeachment charges against
President Nixon in the judiciary committee hearing room at the US
Capitol. What what are the similarities between Donald
Trump and Richard Nixon Richard Nixon was a very accomplished
politician. He was he was a veteran of though everyplace
a big Nixon fan now isn't that interesting?
War he had many cops, proud great guy did a
lot of good things. Environmental Protection Agency
something that people might not know or remember lower the
voting age? Yes, lower the voting age could never
be nominated as a Republican, maybe not even as a Democrat at
this point.
You're You're probably right about that. But you're
probably right. Yeah,
he had a real obsession with trying to go after his opponents
and trying to, you know, really consolidate his power. And he
had people around him in the White House who enabled that.
Yeah. And let's not forget that and uncoupling from gold moving
off the gold standard. He did some great things,
and he got himself into real trouble. And I don't think we
can make a comparison yet because there was a very
thorough investigation of President Nixon at the time that
I was part of, and it drew conclusions so that even
Republican members in the Congress understood that they
had to take action, and we're not at that point yet. With this
president.
I think she was disbarred. Ah, yeah, this could be a Republican
conspiracy theory. You know, we go Cato Institute and we'll just
take that was Hillary Clinton fired from the Nixon impeachment
inquiry. Washington Post fact checker, Glenn Kessler gives a
maximum four Pinocchios to the claim that Hillary Clinton was
fired during the Watergate inquiry. Hmm. Okay, so Okay,
well, she wasn't, I guess not. It's WaPo man.
Lop off was right. WIPOs. Always
right. Well, she's six, she's still gonna run. Yes. There's no
one else. And it's, you know, it's actually someone sent me a
little gotcha that we hadn't. We didn't catch on the Michael
Moore interview on although I heard it I did just didn't
registered. And I figured maybe they didn't think about it
afterwards, when Michael Moore was on the Bill Maher show about
giving money to the Democrats. Listen to what more actually
said. But the good news about
this election in November, is that people like myself and
others you've contributed to the
deist I'm still feel heard. He says DSC wants to say DSA but he
then says he changed it to DNC. DSA is the democratic socialists
of America.
Oh, good catch. Yeah.
That was Josh. Josh Jackson caught that. Like, yeah, that's
that is an interesting point. Do we gotta gotta keep our eye on
this DSA? I'm not quite sure exactly who's running it. But I
think it's bigger than anyone realizes. And that, of course,
is the party of Alexandria. Ocasio Cortez.
Yes. There's there's a few others running under that
moniker.
Yeah. CNBC finally got the memo. We did the story a few weeks
ago. We've been predicting this since probably the early early
episodes of the show, just talking in technology terms as
to what eventually is going to happen. We thought it would
happen with auto insurance first, and it did kind of if you
look what progressive is doing with putting black boxes and
monitors in your car to make sure you're a safe driver, and
to give you all kinds of benefits and premiums for being
a safe driver and letting them track you. And this is the John
Hancock life insurance story. But now from CNBC, who finally
have seen this as news, then we have
John Hancock, one of the oldest, all life insurers, they're
changing their business model with your health in mind. All
right, wrap it up says what they do. So
they're going to stop selling and underwriting traditional
life insurance is dead. They're going to sell these interactive
fitness policies that are tied to fit beds, Apple Watches,
where you basically log in your meals, they track your your
workouts, and then they decide on the premiums and you get
perks for logging in, where you're eating, how much you're
working out. They give you gift cards or give you premium
discounts.
If I want a John Hancock life insurance policy, I gotta have a
Fitbit or an Apple Watch. And I gotta plug the thing in. They've
got to hear about my heart all the time. How much
you're working out. Hopefully you're on the elliptical daily
there. Yes.
Really? Yeah, get a life insurance policy from these
shown to them John Hancock This is actually a very popular
something that they've offered since 2015. And the growth rates
have been tremendous because a lot of people are having more
wearables that everyone's looking at the new new Apple
Watch
but it is controversial because there's privacy issues and they
can just select the most popular most profitable kind of can we
do the premiums down yep. And I'm signing up simple that's
what they want to hear but we're done with this. Yes, we are.
Wow. All in baby. Give me the premium lower that now where
whatever you want me to slaves.
It's unbelievable that As slaves, slaves, slaves to
insurance company,
you know, and this is this is the stuff that worries me about
Professor Ted's premonition, this is the stuff that's
happening is, you know, it was hard enough for me to get health
insurance, just being an old white dude. Without a job, you
know, they don't look very favorably on me. And so you
know, Sky Sasson is probably not so insurable. We are careful
with him, former smoker, all this stuff. So now that I'm
gonna, if I don't wear something and good, they may just say well
done, but we're not going to insure you at all. I mean, who's
going to win in that situation?
I'm looking at the DSA website, trying to figure out what's new
out there who's behind it as a group of people? I've never
heard of any of them. They seem to be I think that orientation.
It looks like they're they stem from public service workers. And
I'm guessing you know, the classics, the SEIU and right,
right after me.
Um, how about the Workers Party?
No, I don't see too much of that. The Workers Party. Seems
like people actually work for a living. It's
quite an interesting.
And a lot of teachers, teachers, most, let's say teachers are the
coming from today's current modern teachers.
Oh, so the teachers union. Well, they also did occupy?
Well, yeah. This great, fantastic.
This is from the House of Commons. There was a debate
about anti the anti semitism being on the rise in the UK. And
I've I've seen this. I know, it's all there's lots of
problems in the UK. That's just not they got more problems and
Brexit. And this is Ruth Smith. She's a member of parliament,
and she was giving a speech and I just had to play this for our
own entertainment.
Madam Deputy Speaker, I find myself in the bizarre position
today, I'm feeling obliged to state for the record that my
register of interests are in fact accurate, and that I have
not failed to report any additional employment.
Specifically, Madam Deputy Speaker, I feel I must inform
you that I am not a CIA spy. I am not a Mossad agent and nor am
I an MI five operative who are occasionally foolish enough to
Google me. Although I would urge you not to it can be unpleasant
reading. I do not work for the people of Tel Aviv. But for the
people of Tunstall. These are just some of the regular anti
semitic tropes that have become normal in my world. And to be
clear, just in case I needed to say it I am not nor have I ever
been a lizard transdimensional or otherwise. What I am Madam
Deputy Speaker is a proud trade unionist, a Labour Party
activist for over 30 years and a lifelong anti racist. I also
happen to be a British Jew and in three decades of political
activism there has never come a time when those four parts of my
identity provided any form of conflict until now
gives me an excuse to play this one I thought it was only in
America that we had anti semitism like that but no the
bricks have
very subject to it. Yeah, the I liked the line there where she
says I have never been I have not now or never have been a
lizard
that's fantastic.
Except for the day for that one but it's okay clip already.
Yeah,
I already got one. That's good. All right. I
have a couple of things left. I do have a if we want to kill
some time I have the history of Sweden that is quite
interesting. No,
I would like to I'm very interested in Sweden. Still,
especially now with this parliament voting. Voting out
Minister Stefan so now and you know this is the Swede and
Democrat Party who are I guess I'm gonna get this all wrong.
Who now I have to form a coalition and things are
changing so yes, I'm very interested I'm all in on Sweden
we
see well we don't know Sweden. We don't understand Sweden. We
haven't got a clue about Sweden. This is a DOS dos podcasting
guys not this knows the same podcast or another one because
one of the guys is an expert and he's a historian type of guy and
he gives a history of Sweden that is alien to anything that
Americans generally know now when I went to Sweden I as I do
when I go to sorry, I used to when I went to extremely
countries that are extremely different culturally, I'd always
read a cultural anthropology book about the people. So I
wouldn't, you know, so I could make. So I'd be observing the
correct things. Normally I would be acting properly. But this is
the history of swing is very it's a long clip, but you can
stop it or not stop at this. And this is you have to look it up
in the archives for about three four shows ago, which never got
played. Okay,
what's it called?
History of Sweden? I was one.
Yeah. Okay. History of Sweden. One. Here we go. And I'll try to
explain. So like Swedes are not West. They're not West. This is
not a Western country. That's true. This looks like a Western
country on the surface. But it's not a Western country. It's a
collectivist country that belongs to Eastern Europe. This
is the deconstructive podcast, but not the initial one. We
played the second one. Yeah. Okay, Sweden, and Norway is not
a part of the continent as much as they are sort of a peninsula
that grows out of Siberia. Right. And you mean
traditionally traditional truly, we're not a part of Western
Europe. Yes, we are not of the East. We were the Danes and the
Norwegian Vikings faced West and they become more individualist.
And they came, they came into the pale of the Anglo Saxon
world. But Sweden was boxed in with the Baltics, we were facing
east. And a lot of the trade routes from Constantinople went
up the rivers from Constantinople into deep inland
Russia, Volga, yes, for instance. And then the Roos, who
founded Russia. They had a an empire there, and they use the
Vikings trade routes to trade with North of Europe. And that
was the first golden age of Sweden, the trade routes. I'm
glad you pulled this clip because I was in I think we're
in Lucerne, and I listened to this particular episode, and I
found it very informative. Yes, because the educational because
when you think of Sweden, you don't get much further than
Abba. Yeah. And blondes at IKEA. Don't forget Hammerson Morris
h&m, that's a big one. We're in Europe about 1000 years ago.
Yes. And they're, so they're deeply collectivist. And now
what happened is Sweden is so far away that it wasn't affected
by the rise of Rome. It wasn't affected by the fall of Rome. It
wasn't affected by the rise of the Catholic Church. It became
Catholic, the second last country in in Europe, I think,
to be christened budget heathens. Is that true? Yes,
after Latvia. So Sweden got Christian, around 1100s. And it
only held for a few 100 years. And never really and we belong
to the pale of the Roman Catholic, the Catholic Church,
but we weren't really in the pale. So we weren't really
affected by that as much either. What really formed Sweden was
Martin Luther, the Reformation, the Protestant Reformation and
the Christian church. Because Gustavo ASO, who was the first
true monarch of the first time Sweden was a unified country, he
saw before any other monarchs in the world what he could do with
Martin Luthers. Thesis. What he did was he took it as a chance
to get rid of the church at the Roman Catholic Church, but also
as a way to better control his subjects. Because what he did
was he took the Protestant Reformation, he applied it to
Sweden, which made all the churches his instead of the
rooms, yeah, and including all the land and all the animals,
the land and all the assets. And that's what we learned in the
history books in Sweden that Gustavo took the churches
because of the treasure, but that's not the treasure in the
church. It's not the buildings. It's not the land. It's not the
silver or gold. They have up that where the priests stands.
The altar. What did he want from the church? He wanted names, the
names? Yes, because the priests were the only ones who knew how
many people lived in the country. They had a nice verge
books. Yeah, they had the names of everyone who was born
everyone who was married, everyone died and I was just
like the Mormons
have a different purpose.
And all the best animals the best is and if you have the
Naser that is when taxation becomes a real possibility. So
that is the treasurer of the church, the names
right.
And he used the church to construct the oldest and
greatest bureaucracy the world has ever seen. And he made the
churches not into Christian houses of worship as much as he
made them into schools for Swedish snus, right and and he
had a program of isolation that he had planned would last
forever because we didn't didn't have to fight if it didn't want
to. We were to isolate. Alright, so from that point, what you're
saying is from that point,
the church is in Sweden came a bureaucratic hops Sora. From
tax people in a more in a more effective way.
Yes, good stuff also was a brilliant, brilliant
administrator. What he did was he took control of Sweden, he
took the nobility, we had a very weak nobility compared to the
rest of the world at that time. And he made them his first
bureaucrats. Alright, so he used the nobility. And then he used
the priests, and he melded these together into like a, like some
sort of bureaucratic seed. Right. And this created a
tradition in Sweden of monolithic state with a very
authoritarian state with one monarch at the top. It's a very
collectivist culture, right, but not communism. Not some sort of,
I mean, if you have an egalitarian collectivist
collective, then egalitarian is want everyone to be as much like
one another as possible. Yeah.
Wow, man. Yeah, he egalitarian?
Yeah, and that's one. That's one of the things I learned in the
anthropology. This, which is what I accounted for the reason
Sweden could do such good business with the Japanese is
that they had both had, even though it was structured
slightly different than the Swedes are very flat structured
organizations, where the secretaries is likely to get
coffee for the bosses the other way around. I'm sorry, the boss
is more likely to get coffee for the Secretary than the other way
around that we expect here. Is this egalitarian thing? And
that's why they have the there's this saying in both Sweden and
Japan, which is that if the nail that's sticking up is the one
that gets pounded down by the hammer, they say that in
Holland, too. Yeah, I think Holland has some of that going
on, too. They
in Holland, they always say that's the Calvinism.
Calvinistic.
Yeah, that would be word. Yeah, I think there's a model there
that's comes from Calvinism. But this egalitarianism is a key to
the whole thing. And I just wonder how that works out with
all these immigrants that they got into Sweden you know, raping
their women. Like what are we going to do? I don't know if you
guys you know, he's, I think they may be short circuited here
with this. Yeah,
they're like, their brains are in irons. They don't know what
to do. They can't go left can't go right. Is their brain freeze?
Yeah, because of these years and years and years of this culture,
which is, again, I think it was important to know that as
Eastern it's an Eastern European culture, not a Western European
culture, which we get we can't quite grow. can't quite grasp
that and even when you go there, although I've been to Eastern
European countries, when you I maybe it does resemble them more
than you if you started to think about it in hindsight. But yeah,
it's very fascinating. I thought it was a good little piece that
I did. I
love the history. And I liked the you know, the second time I
heard this I like it a lot. Because you just you don't even
think about these things. All we know is sweet Viking something
Norway dem Scandinavia some up there. We want blondes this
right. Okay, last clip for me. Israeli spy software Pegasus.
This really surveillance software tool capable of
accessing microphones, cameras, and other data has been tracked
to 45 countries around the world. Researchers think the
tool designed to track criminals is being misused by governments
to snoop on innocent civilians.
I'm hearing Huxley just north of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
And this building is home to an Israeli company called NSO
group, which develops and sells one of the most invasive
spywares in the world. The software is called Pegasus. And
it doesn't matter whether you're an iOS or Android person, your
phone could become a target. This is how Pegasus works. That
target receives a text message with a special link. One click
on it and the spyware is he could be downloaded to your
smartphone. From then on all your private data, personal
messages, passwords, just about everything is being sent back to
the operator. So who are the targets? According to NSO group,
its software is designed to track criminals.
Our products have saved the lives of 1000s of people
preventing suicide terrorists helped convict drug cartels
facilitated complex crime investigations. Children to
their parents,
that internet researchers from Citizen Lab embarked on a hunt
for Pegasus, and according to them, it does not serve only a
good cause. Instead, it may be breaching innocent people's
privacy's and some country's laws against cross border
hackers Citizen Lab tracked the malware in as many as 45
countries, among them six states with a history of abusing
spyware to target a civilian society.
Now what what, where did this story come from Artie Of course
our Tom Yeah. What what do you have you know how to wood that's
a very interesting story that needs to be diversified. You
know what I haven't heard anyone talking about kind of heard
about it, but I didn't hear anybody do a report. And
obviously for same reason I couldn't get my 5g thing stayed
on. Yeah, exactly. I have one. I have one last clip that I think
finishes the show nicely. All right. This is about the new
poll giving Beto or whatever his name is Beto lead a two point
lead over over Cruz. Oh, Shocking. Shocking. Bring in a
chatterbox and they try this is one of these CBS and I believe
are one of these online.
on CBS N. There's a YouTube as a YouTube video for an hour and a
half. They had their camera on the White House because they
thought rod Rosenstein would walk out and they just kept
going back to this shot was up the whole
time like Andy Warhol is directing. Like, any minute now
we'll come out. Anyway. So this is a Texas poll clip and I think
you'll get a kick out of it. By the way for brevity,
that's Reuters poll gives Democratic Congressman Beto
O'Rourke a two point advantage over Republican Senator Ted
Cruz.
President Trump has said he plans to hold a major rally for
Cruz in Texas in October. Alana Rocha is a multimedia reporter
for The Texas Tribune. She joins us now from Austin, Texas. Good
to see you.
Thank you. Good morning.
So Elana, Texas is reliably red state, although it's sort of
been inching towards purple according to some polls. Senator
Cruz has led in most polls, what is significant about this one?
Well, this is the first one that are work takes the lead granted,
it's a two point lead. So he's still within the margin of
error. He's an El Paso congressman, he's been in
Congress as long as Cruz has six years in the House, of course,
six years in the Senate for Cruz. You know, he's energizing.
He obviously is proud that he's toured all 254 counties here.
He's going to parts of the state that are Republican Republican
strongholds and turning out large crowds. So I just think
he's energizing. There's a genuine fact.
I was waiting for it.
So the controversy surrounding Brett Kavanaugh, his nomination
to the Supreme Court is becoming a political issue as we near the
midterm elections. Obviously Ted Cruz has that Christine Blasi
Ford's assault allegations are serious and deserve to be
treated with respect. What impact could this have on his
reelection efforts? How's he expected I guess, to navigate
this issue in the coming weeks? Yes, indeed. And that was
my head that exploded actually. John along when you put some
extra work in?
Yeah, you got to do something once in a while. Yeah. For the
kids. That's great for the kids.
All right, everybody. That's our deconstruction for today. Of
course, we'll have a lot about what happened in this Cavanaugh,
kerfuffle, or whatever it is. Or maybe not. Anything could happen
on the show? Probably not. You're right. Like, but again,
Sunday is coming up. So there's not going to be a lot of time in
between now and then. So that we probably, you'll probably be
close to you. I think it'd be interesting. We should have a
great show on Sunday.
All right. Well join us then and remember us that divorce
act.org/ma. And that's how you keep the network rolling. And
again, thanks everybody who contributed to the show in many,
many, many ways. I am coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas
capital the drone star states FEMA Region six on the
governmental maps in the five by nine Claudio, in the common law
condo in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, why don't have all these
things to describe myself or where I am because I can't
remember from one day to the next. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here on no agenda until then, as
always novos.
My administration has accomplished more than almost
any administration in the history of our country. America
is so true.
Didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay. We support from
many countries here today. We have engaged with North Korea to
replace the specter of conflict with a bold and new push for
peace. We defend many of these nations for nothing. And then
they take advantage of us by giving us high oil price. Not
good. Not good. arange neighbors have paid a heavy toll for the
region's agenda of aggression and expansion. America is
governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism and we
embrace the doctrine of Patriot patriotism.
California's Governor Jerry Brown says that it was a
democratic conspiracy
is really extraordinary terror. What's the word I even have an
adjective, exemplar from? Well, something's got to happen to
this guy.
How do you counteract that?
We counteract it because with the lies, more migration,
incoherent, disruptive, and quite bizarre behavior. We're
out of it. Because we can't say it enough. The President is
exemplar
democratic conspiracy, fools that nearly 3000 people did not
die in Puerto Rico was the result of a scientific study.
That's true. Paris climate agreement isn't official, and
binding. Everyone predicted that this would happen. Talk to me
about what we are physically experiencing here in the United
States and around the world.
We'll have more drought, more fires, more storm reactions,
protests, more intense storms, bizarre behavior, and the
workplace is more migration. We're gonna have people moving
from the land that will no longer produce enough food.
Can't stream No. believe your
eyes Connect. I asked to get connected. And if you look, you
can actually see a post you can see this dark mass right there
that indicates a time lapses. There are time lapses. I just
noticed.
This is a person today. Dude.
